$1729 Shadow

Countless distorted human faces rose up from the hexagram-shaped rune array and circled towards the girl Becky.

Immediately afterwards, the invisible force field fluctuations generated from below caused the shadow released by Raymond to suffer an inexplicable strong repulsion, and was pushed away from the girl Becky.

Raymond, who could see the girl Becky's expression, hesitated. After stopping Moritz who wanted to attack, he appeared next to the white smoke. He raised his hand and pressed on the surface of the semi-crystallized barrier. The slow pressure caused it to crack, revealing a gap.

The slight sound of the crack made the girl Becky, who was suspended in the air, shrug her shoulders, and then she screamed loudly. "Don't! Don't come in!"

The girl Becky was about ten meters away from the slowly collapsing talisman array underground. Five meters away from her were layers of twisted and deformed phantoms of strange human faces, but these phantoms seemed to be afraid of the girl Becky. Although they were roaring silently at her, none of them would cross the five-meter limit. They only formed a ring barrier with a thickness of meters, which surrounded the girl Becky in the center.

Seeing Raymond approaching the white smoke barrier, Moritz also appeared beside Raymond at this time. Facing such a strange phenomenon below, he lowered his voice and said in surprise. "What's going on? Why don't I feel that danger is coming?"

"I don't know either, but these strange phantoms of human faces are afraid of the girl Becky, and she asked not to go in..."

While speaking, because Raymond also didn't feel any danger, he thought about it and immediately cast a spell of "Eye of Truth" on himself, so that everything within his field of vision could be stripped of disguise and illusion, and revealed by its original phenomenon.

Moritz, who also cast the 'Eye of Truth' spell on himself, showed a look of shock.

Because everything she and Raymond saw was completely different from what they had seen before!

The strange faces surrounding the girl Becky were no longer distorted but looked very normal. There were both beautiful and handsome ones, and more ugly and dull ones, but most of them were ordinary people. Most of them were adults, with occasional young or old ones. But they would be submerged by the phantom faces around them in a flash, as if Raymond was dazzled.

However, Raymond, who looked more and more serious, found that in the picture within the field of vision of the spell, there were wisps of white smoke under these paper-like phantom faces.

These white smoke, like silk threads, seemed to be able to control the expressions of these phantom faces. With the extremely small pull, the expressions on these faces would change slightly. If the chip could not perform real-time comparison and verification, I believe such changes would be difficult to detect.

Seeing that the girl Becky in the semi-crystallized barrier had not made any move, Moritz, who also noticed that these human face phantoms were related to the hexagram-shaped rune array below, could not help but wonder. "What exactly is the guardian beast here? Why is there such a strange phenomenon?"

Raymond shook his head without responding. At this time, the chip quickly collected thousands of human face phantoms in his pupils, and as more similar human face phantoms were produced in the white smoke rising from the rune array below, the total number was still rising, and it seemed that there was no end at all.

But just when Raymond felt that the situation was a bit too inappropriate, the girl Becky hovering in the air spoke in vain. "My lord, please don't get involved. I, I think this is the power that I can absorb and devour..."

"Your power? What exactly is in the rune array?"

"I, I don't know... but they have a strong attraction to me. I don't think there will be any danger or possible risks..."

The girl Becky answered Raymond's question. Finally stretched out her right hand, with a touch of brilliance released from her fingertips. The faces of the phantoms around her five meters away suddenly changed!

Fear, shock, despair, unwillingness, frustration...

Words seemed to be unable to describe the expressions on the faces at this moment. It was as if the girl Becky's actions caused a commotion. There was no sound, but all the faces dragged by the white smoke had various expressions, and all the faces opened their mouths, making attempts to roar and shout!

The girl Becky, whose expression was confused and replaced by information, began to shake slightly. One by one, the phantoms exactly like her broke out of her body, opened their arms and posed in a hugging posture. They rushed directly into the circular barrier formed by these faces.

The countless faces that scattered suddenly began to flee as if they were no longer dragged by the white smoke. Even though there was no sound, the huge number of human faces caused the semi-crystallized barrier to be like a wave, so that Raymond and Moritz, who were above, could no longer see the figure of the girl Becky.

The air was stirred, and the invisible force field fluctuations became chaotic, and then the direction of the hexagram-shaped rune array seemed to have changed.

The figures belonging to the girl Becky, which were about the same size as the phantoms of these human faces, quickly shuttled back and forth among the faces running around. As the number of faces decreased rapidly, the girl Becky also shouted in surprise. . "Oh my god! Oh my god! It's really the soul of the true spirit. I understand... I understand... I finally understand the reason..."

When Moretz heard the girl Becky's cry, his expression suddenly changed. "The soul of the true spirit? Could it be that the guardian beast here is the soul of the true spirit!"

"What is the true soul?"

"That is the origin of the true spirit that belongs to the plane of chaos. It is the origin of the true spirit that can only be imprisoned but cannot be killed! It is said that the inheritance of the true spirit is contained in it, and anyone who obtains it can obtain the body of the true spirit. Become an existence close to a true spirit..."

Moritz murmured in a low voice, but Becky, the girl who was chasing and devouring the phantoms of human faces, stopped in vain, raised her face and shouted in anger. "This is impossible! Only I can obtain the inheritance of the true spirit. The result of other living beings' acquisition is that their consciousness will be wiped out and they will become the puppets of the true spirit!"

In just ten breaths, the number of human faces within the semi-crystalline white barrier dropped by 50%. It was determined that the girl Becky was Raymond who had released some kind of 'shadow clone'. After noticing that the white smoke released from the six-pointed star-shaped talisman array below had weakened, he raised his hand and wrapped a phantom with a human face that was approaching, wrapped in an isolation barrier, and pulled it over.

Seeing this, the girl Becky, whose cheeks swelled up, immediately shouted. "Sir! No!"

"Just taking one, will it cause any changes?"

Raymond's somewhat casual tone made the girl Becky, who looked up, hesitate. After the previous anger faded, she pursed her lips. "That's mine! Mine!"

The phantom of the human face that was being probed by Raymond's perception actually seemed to calm down at this time, which made Raymond who was probing it feel strange. He threw the seal into the storage ring with a thought. Then he spoke to the girl Becky. "The lack of one shouldn't be a big problem..."

"You stole my things!" Becky, the girl with wide-eyed shouts, seemed to be furious. She turned around and started chasing the faces running around again, and was constantly being released by her. The clone shadow also intentionally or unintentionally blocked the possibility of those human-faced shadows approaching Raymond, as if to prevent Raymond from continuing to collect these human-faced shadows.

Moritz, who originally wanted to take action, decided not to participate, but Raymond, who was gradually able to explore the six-pointed star-shaped talisman array, discovered the mystery hidden under the talisman array... (To be continued~^~ )
