Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Eight, Inheritance of the Underground World (18)

——? ? ? ——

Forest of the Fallen Giants.

The "Cursed Binder" who was about to teach a lesson turned into a pile of scattered equipment, wisps of dissipated black air, and a group of "".

The merchant who had witnessed the strength of Melina and Sherlock twice became much bolder. After a little trial, he immediately ran back to search through the pile of equipment.

Sherlock was too lazy to pay attention to him. The focus now was on the "soul" that Melina had just extracted.

"【Soul of the Cursed】" Melina looked at the "" in her hand and read: "【Ordered by the Iron King, search for the souls of the knights of the undead everywhere.】"

"【The Iron King believes that as long as the undead are imprisoned, the spread of the undead curse can be suppressed, and a huge forgotten cage is built for this purpose in the hope of forgetting them, but everything is in vain.】"

"【After using it, you will gain a lot of souls, and it can also be used to forge equipment with powerful power.】"

From this point of view, Dolan Gureg died from the revenge of the giants, and the Iron Kingdom died from this "undead curse"?

Sherlock nodded: "So, what is the Undead Curse?"

"It is..." Melina blinked: "Amnesia."

"What?"

"[People infected with the 'Undead Curse' can be resurrected from the dead, but the memories in their brains will continue to flow away like fine sand in the palm of their hands, which cannot be stopped or retrieved, and eventually they will become zombies acting on instinct.]" Melina replied: "From another perspective, it is not a 'curse', but a 'blessing', and memory is just the price."

"Why does this sound like a devil's trick? Is there a 'hell' in this world?" Sherlock raised his eyebrows.

"No, 'hell' in the four languages ​​all refers to the 'abyss'," Melina shook her head: "And the 'Undead Curse' does come from the 'abyss'."

"Undead Curse, resurrection from the dead..." Sherlock thought for a while: "If the whole person is burned to ashes, can he still be resurrected?"

"No," Melina looked at the "wandering soul soldiers" that turned into ashes, and then added: "The 'Undead Curse' cannot."

"Hmm..." Sherlock touched his chin and began to think.

In Melina's world, all creatures turned to ashes, which is obviously not something that a disaster in the conventional sense can do, but plants are not affected. This may be because they do not have "memory" in the conventional sense, and the sprouting of dead trees is not considered "resurrection", so they are not infected by the "undead curse".

Considering that all the "reshaped" ashes are not very good at brains, perhaps someone chose to directly burn all creatures with "memory" in the world to ashes in order to stop the spread of the "undead curse".

Considering that Melina can "remember" the residents of the destroyed world, and her own cognition and logic are all "out of thin air", it may be that the owner of the world called "Biheim", Melina's "mirror body", "Miss Ereshkigal" herself, destroyed it.

Because their abilities are completely "mirrored", Sherlock further deduced that when the four countries in this world were in trouble because of the bewitching of those "abyss princesses", the "undead curse" took the opportunity to spread wildly to the point where it was completely out of control.

So she decided to take action.

First, "record" the memory of all creatures in the current world, then burn them all to ashes, and then go to other worlds to try to find a solution to the "undead curse". Before finding it, let this world continue to maintain its state of ashes and wait for "resurrection".

Sherlock didn't know that the "main body" finally found a solution, but Melina obviously didn't find it. Not only did she not find it, she was buried by the sands of other destroyed worlds.

It is for this reason that all the people in Rumi have obvious memory gaps-these people have no memory of the "undead curse" starting to spread until the world was destroyed, because they have been taken away by the "mirror main body" and do not exist at all.

Therefore, when they are "reshaped" by Melina, their memories will be upside down and they will recognize the wrong people, and they will even become crazy under the influence of the evil god of the subspace.

And if Melina wants to know the information of this world that was destroyed by the "main body" and took away almost all the memories, she must directly contact and read the memories of related non-biological objects, and then she can reversely deduce the history of the world of Biheim like deducing those "sand worlds".

Not only do you need to know the history, you also have to fight all the way.

Unlike easily interfering with those sand worlds, in this, uh... origin world? Melina's "omniscience and omnipotence" is slightly limited. She must be able to observe directly and be at a relatively close distance to influence the target and obtain intelligence.

Just four crazy kings.

Just four...

Wait, the number of "warp evil gods" seems to be four?

And the "abyss" relative to the "fire" of the present world is also "non-existent" in a sense. It can also be said that the "abyss" is the "warp".

Further inference, those princesses...

No, forget it, that's impossible. The four "warp evil gods" all turned into women to seduce the king at the same time. It's too outrageous. Judging from the guys I have met, they definitely can't do such a thing.

Because the conjectures that emerged were too chaotic, even if Sherlock had the "blind fish eating technique" to save him from madness, his head was still a little dizzy.

"Let's go back to Rumi first. Where is the blessing?" He asked Melina.

"?" Melina looked at him with innocent eyes.

"You didn't find it after defeating two bosses? Or is it not called Blessing now?" Sherlock gestured with his hands: "It is about knee-high, glows, can restore life and magic, and can teleport the user to other similar ones. The only disadvantage is that it will skip a period of time."

"I understand." Melina replied.

...What do you understand?

Sherlock looked at Melina and nodded very confidently, then walked to Melentira who was still picking up the equipment of the Curse Binder, raised his hand and took out the Curse Binder's broadsword from his big backpack.

"Oh! Miss Elle, you have a good eye. Those guys who can fly but have no wings all rely on this guy to scare people. Without it, they are just some tin cans." The merchant's eyes lit up and he immediately started to sell: "Since you like it, I will give you a 10% discount, very good——."

Did he realize that this sword was his previous trophy?

Creak——

Sherlock was about to say something, but he saw Melina tear the broadsword into two halves along the middle line, then twist them together, twisting them into a twist, and then poking it on the ground, and a blazing bonfire immediately burned.

"You can use it to return to Rumi," Melina said to Sherlock, and then turned to the merchant: "What did you say just now?"

"I said... To thank you for your rescue, all my products will be discounted by 10% after returning to Rumi."

"Yeah."
