Chapter 1944 Accidents Repeatedly
"So that's how it is...so that's why Rowena worked so hard to devise a plan that spanned thousands of years, but she never spoke clearly. It's also the reason why the magic image she left behind would prevent me from opening it even at the expense of killing me. Its reason. Yes, that's what it is... The great mystery is finally solved."
The moment the stone box was shattered with a soft "click" sound and the magic attached to it, Maca couldn't help sighing.
However, the expression on his face did not have the slightest joy and joy when he revealed the answer, but was full of solemnity.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough... cough cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, the injury caused by the time rule that Maca had been enduring all this time was finally unable to suppress because of the excessive emotional fluctuations in his heart at this moment, and it stirred up in his body again.
"Cough cough cough... poof!"
After a burst of violent coughing, he felt his throat throbbing, and a mouthful of blood suddenly choked out, spitting out his palms covering his mouth all over his hands.
However, as soon as the blood was spit out, he finally felt a little relieved. After taking out a bottle of potion and pouring it into his stomach together with the blood left in his mouth, Maca couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as the effect of the medicine came into play immediately.
It's a pity that the damage accumulated by the time rule has nothing to do with the black box at his feet. Even if he feels better, there are obviously more important things to do right now.
Throwing the empty potion bottle in his hand into the darkness next to him, amidst several jingling sounds, Maca wiped the blood on his face indiscriminately, while bending down, he was about to reach out to the black box in front of him .
It can be said that he did this action as if it was very smooth, as if he had planned to do it in the first place - but in fact, this idea just flashed in his mind.
"wait."
At a certain moment when it reached halfway, Maca suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then suddenly stopped his hand on the way. After a few seconds, he immediately retracted the hand that was outstretched.
"It's dangerous... just a little bit." Maka stood up straight, then subconsciously raised her hand to look at her palm, and muttered to herself, "It's not right, things don't seem to be as good as I imagined. Simple."
In fact, since the stone shell outside the black box was destroyed, Maca could clearly feel that the black box was releasing some kind of weird and strong influence. This invisible force,
It was as if it was constantly urging him to open it, open it, open it...
Yes, the influence of this power on him is indeed quite powerful, even surpassing the strength of the rules that confuse people's hearts and control people's souls like the Monument of Bewitching.
Up to now, Maca's new edition of "Book of Sin" has recorded five items that are the source of disasters, including the sword, the monument, the ancient mirror, the dagger, and the cursed substance extracted from Willie's body. But except for the Gryffindor sword, which Maca didn't personally experience, the influence of the other four items and four branches on people can be said to be far less than this mysterious black box.
Therefore, Maca could indeed believe that Rowena's worries were justified.
But... Maca thought he could still resist the powerful temptation released by this branch of the rule.
Yes, it was indeed very strenuous, far beyond what a human could resist—even because of the sudden need to resist this force, his mind was unstable and his soul was stirred up, which induced the injury to flare up.
But for Maca who has studied the soul rules in depth and experienced the five branches personally, as long as he is prepared, it is not impossible to resist this power.
However, judging from the situation where he almost got the Tao just now, it seems that the problem is not only caused by that powerful force itself.
"Is there some other... force at work that I don't perceive?"
Maca stared at the black box at his feet with a serious face, and his hands were interlaced and clasped tightly together, so as to avoid the unexpected situation from happening again when he was thinking.
It's just that precautions like his didn't seem to have much effect.
Not knowing exactly what was going on, Maka, who was contemplating, suddenly froze his eyes, and let go of his two hands that were clasped together. Then, as if by accident, he leaned down again and stretched out his hand towards the black box.
"boom!"
Suddenly, Maca, who came back to his senses in time relying on his strong spiritual will, frowned fiercely, clenched the hand that was reaching out into a fist, and then smashed it heavily on the ground.
Since he didn't do any protection, when he punched down, the joints that directly touched the ground were torn apart. When he raised his hand again, blood immediately slid down his fingers.
But he didn't pay attention to this little injury at all, and the slight tingling sensation on his hand became a warning that constantly reminded him not to do some unnecessary movements.
"Tsk," Maca clicked her tongue, quite confused, "Where is the problem?"
But this time, while he was muttering softly, he even had to take two steps back to keep himself further away from the weird black box.
"There should be 'greedy' and 'lazy' left in the branch rune, and this... Judging from the situation, it should be the former, right?" He didn't dare to look at the black box lightly, but slightly staggered his eyes and looked at the black box. To the array on the ground.
This formation was specially designed by him for today. In the past few days when he lived here with the Bulova father and daughter, he spent a lot of thought on it, in order to be able to seal the things in the stone box immediately when something unexpected happened.
But now he found that his efforts were wasted, because the formation he designed for the soul rule didn't work for this thing at all.
After all, he had started it from the very beginning.
But fortunately, Maca, who is always used to leaving himself an extra way out, has indeed prepared another plan—with the cause of Rowena's death in front of him, he didn't dare to take his life without preparation To gamble!
At this moment, after Maka almost fell for it several times in a row, he finally decided that it might be difficult for him to solve this new big problem right away. Therefore, it is better to reseal it first.
And for this, he specially prepared something.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took out a stone box from his waist that was almost exactly the same as the one he destroyed before, and then threw the stone box forward without going there.
This is a direct imitation of Rowena's stone box. Some principles are not clear, but at least it works.
