Chapter 1539 Tower

"Come and buy, come and see, come and smell!"

"Guest, I see you don't look well. I happen to have a pinch of rare medicine here. Do you want to try it?"

"An omelette that grows and splits! Buy one and you can get countless more!"

"..."

This is a... bustling street.

"Why is this..." The scholar was above this medieval street, looking at everything below in amazement. On this street, many virtual people were busy, which was very similar to the bustling city before... The transportation vehicles made of metal turned into large creatures pulling wooden carts. The vendors on the street pushed carts covered with straw huts. The street lights turned into lanterns hanging on the eaves. The tall steel buildings turned into low-rise buildings. Low wooden house.

A medieval virtual city seems to have suddenly appeared here. What is the reason for this?

Is this phenomenon happening because a large group of 'ghosts' flew into a tower before?

Scholars have noticed that the medieval virtual people here did not... appear out of thin air, but the citizens of the original 'modern city' were transferred here.

Because it can zoom in on the scenery below in the fighter plane and see a few familiar civilians. It remembers that it has seen these civilians in the city.

"We can call this phenomenon atavism." Blasting Bugs told the scholars: "They were affected by ghosts and therefore lived a severely degraded life here."

"...Be serious." The scholar said, "What do you think this situation is about?"

"I don't know." Explosive Roaring Worm said: "It probably has something to do with the creator's simulation device. Maybe this device suddenly wants to create... a medieval virtual civilian ecology."

"Anyway, let's find out what those ghosts are about first." With that said, the scholar flew towards the central tower.

A large group of Xu people below looked at the fighter planes in the sky with expressions of extreme surprise. They were not afraid, but followed them curiously.

After approaching the top of the tower, the scholar adjusted the fighter plane to automatic suspension mode, then opened the cockpit and jumped to the top of the tower.

"A strange creature jumped down from that strange animal!" "What does that strange creature want to do? It invaded the High Tower!"

The scholar heard the Void people below shouting, but he didn't care so much. At the top of the flat wooden tower, the scholar found an entrance on the ground.

After entering the entrance and walking down the wooden stairs, the scholar arrived at the top floor of the tower and found that the top floor was a very empty place.

There is no furniture here, but the ground and walls are covered with densely packed words. Although these words can be read, they cannot form a vocabulary.

"This is weird." Blasters said: "I know these words. They are the words you used to... seal ghosts. They were said in a movie called 'Old Spirit in the Mountains'."

"So there must be some secret in these words?" The scholar walked to the wall and stretched out his hand to check...

"This is..." Scholars soon discovered that these words that seemed to be carved on the wall were made of a strange substance.

Not metal or wood, but...

'call--! ’ Suddenly, the scholar heard a sound, and the words on the entire wall lit up.

Among the glowing words, a large number of transparent... ghosts emerged from them. This group of ghosts instantly surrounded the scholar.

"Ah! You have unlocked the seal!" the Explosive Roaring Worm shouted, "It doesn't seem to matter, these things have no power."

"...It seems like this." The scholar looked at the ghosts around him. This group of ghosts did not approach the scholar, but just surrounded him.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, the scholar reached out to grab a ghost next to him. This time the ghost did not hide, and the scholar successfully... touched it.

"This is... what exactly is this?" The moment he detected the ghost's composition, the scholar discovered that... this seemed to be a very special substance.

It is made of materials never seen before.

This substance is like a gas, but there's something wrong about it...

But in general, this is indeed not a...'ghost', but a real entity. However, it seems that we only know this little information now, so we can only call them ghosts for now.

The ghost touched by the scholar stepped back. Other ghosts also made the same move at the same time. They all got into the text on the wall in an instant, shrank back and disappeared.

"Is that so?"

Although I don’t know why these ghosts do what they do, scholars have discovered that... these ghosts do not actually get into the text.

They are scattered.

The material that makes up their ghostly transparent bodies disperses like mist the moment they come into contact with the words on the wall, and spreads into the surrounding air.

Although they appear to be embedded in the words, they are actually dispersed in the air.

However, I still don’t understand why they do this. It may be to imitate the effect of being sealed in the words. Maybe these transparent ghost-like things are also a kind of creatures, acting as ghosts under the influence of the simulation system.

They look like the shape of the virtual people, but in fact they should be able to change into various shapes. They are now forced to play the role of the souls of the virtual people here.

It feels a lot more reasonable to think this way. If that's the case, then...

"How dare you break in here!"

Along with a burst of shouting, the scholar saw a virtual citizen walking up to the stairs on the lower floor. This virtual citizen was dressed in black clothes and holding a wooden stick. He shouted at the scholar: "How dare you break into us?" The highest tower?"

This seems to be a role like... a priest? Scholars remember seeing people with this shape in some past materials.

"Get out!" The priest suddenly shouted and pointed the wooden stick at the scholar, and the scholar felt something hit his chest.

It seems that the previous information never mentioned that the priest had this ability, although it didn't seem to be very powerful.

"You are actually...so powerful! But what about this?" Upon seeing this, the priest rushed up and hit the scholar hard with a wooden stick.

With a snap, the wooden stick broke. The priest looked at the scholar in shock and said: "You can actually do it... Then there is no other way. I have to ask the true power of this tower to defeat you!"

After saying that, it ran downstairs.

"True power? What is that?" the scholar asked doubtfully, but its words received no answer.

"Strange..." The scholar glanced at its shoulder, and it discovered...

The howling bug disappeared again. (To be continued.)
