Chapter 1532 The Sands of the Past
What is this? A sudden date invitation? If it was Luo Lisi, let alone Styx, even Zheng Yichen would try to find a way to find it, is it dangerous? If you are in danger, bring your equipment. There are a lot of equipment waiting to be used. Zheng Yichen often prepares a series of high-risk weapons for himself in daily life, just to deal with some sudden crisis situations.
Even Zheng Yichen made some additional adjustments to the Zhanlong Mecha when he was in the Witch of Exterminating Drugs. The weapon is now one of the most powerful equipment that Zheng Yichen can play.
"What are you doing?" Looking at Zheng Yichen's rambling preparations, the undead witch Kaisa looked at Zheng Yichen slightly twitching from the corners of her eyes. Having escaped the curse of fate, she communicated like other witches, and there was no conflict of interest. Under the premise, it is quite easy to talk, and even from some of the communication clips synchronized by Zheng Yichen, the Emotional Witch Qin also analyzed some additional information, and the Immortal Witch feels guilty for the Death Witch.
Oh, it's because the undead witch in the sealed space has such a mentality. For the undead witch outside the sealed space, she wants to crush the dead witch even more.
"Get ready."
"No need, what kind of place do you think Styx is? It doesn't make sense to carry these things." Kaisa said flatly, Styx is not a real world in the true sense. It is true that that place exists, but use some terms to explain it. For a moment, it is a place similar to negative space, where equipment and props in normal space are not very effective.
"And there's no need for fighting in those places."
Zheng Yichen shook his head: "What are you thinking, I'm on guard against you."
"...Okay." Kai'Sa was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head helplessly: "You can take it with you if you like, I also want to see what you can bring to the abnormal me. What a surprise."
"?" A big magical question mark lit up on Zheng Yichen's head. It wasn't that he had a problem, but that the woman in front of her with two scars still oozing blood on her left face had a problem.
"Just kidding, the abnormal me will not easily break the contract."
Zheng Yichen put away the things he had organized: "That's pretty scary, where do we start? This place or another place?"
"Let's forget about other places. I will definitely regret it if I go out. Let's take you there first."
Kaisha, the Undead Witch, did not say that she would do this outside, and Zheng Yichen had some ideas about agreeing to it. She also asked some opinions from the witches at the underground base, and none of the witches there had been to the Underworld River, but he has an understanding of Styx, and the one who knows best is not the pure witch Anne, but the life witch...
In Annie's words, the closer you are to death, the more intense the brilliance of life can bloom. She can use her life force to reverse the power of death. It is quite normal to know something about Styx. It is not a big problem for Zheng Yichen to go to Styx , as long as you don’t want to jump in, it’s fine. Of course, even if you jump, he has a soul and unique characteristics that are different from this world. The probability of being able to swim is slightly higher. At the same time, there is another point that is Zheng Yichen’s previous record.
There is a record about Lily, Lily is a corpse puppet, as such a unique existence, she shouldn't have dreamed, but Lily had dreamed for a while, seeing a boundless river, but the Demon Sword Cthulhu Zheng Yichen didn't feel any information because of this, and Zheng Yichen paid attention to it when he knew about it at the beginning, but the corpse puppet has no soul, even if it is a dream, there is no way to use magic to understand what kind of dream she is having.
This is also the reason why Demon Sword Cthulhu couldn't feel anything abnormal.
Zheng Yichen also wanted to clarify this matter. Since the Undead Witch specifically brought this up, Zheng Yichen took advantage of the opportunity to ask, and the Immortal Witch thought about it seriously: "The situation you mentioned may be related to the true spirit. It has something to do with it."
"...you have the nerve to say this?"
The Undead Witch waved her hand indifferently. Even if she is normal now, she doesn't feel much guilt for the corpse puppet she made back then. Even if Lily is now on Zheng Yichen's side, so what? The position can't be placed above her level. When Lili is mentioned, her idea is that she is a lucky little girl. Didn't she meet Zheng Yichen? At the beginning, she was no different from ordinary corpse puppets. Special, even if he met someone else at the beginning, he can take off now. Zheng Yichen takes good care of the people around him.
"Although her true spirit is reshaped, it is somewhat different from the original one. Although it is considered fake, the usable substrate is stripped from the part I got from her, even if it was processed by you later. , is still related to her, according to what you said, this should be a special situation, a good research example, you want to hit a woman?"
"Are you ashamed to say that you are a woman?" Zheng Yichen silently took back a crystal hammer he just took out that he named Storm Hammer. Using this thing can return the sealed space to an undecorated state, and nothing will happen. For the rest, change to another one.
"I have everything women have, why not?" The Undead Witch didn't care about Zheng Yichen's behavior, and smiled softly: "And I'm telling the truth, she is indeed a unique example. There are many corpse puppets, but none of those corpse puppets encountered such a situation, whether such a situation is inevitable or accidental, it seems very special, do you have that girl's hair? Blood is also fine."
Zheng Yichen curled his lips slightly, and took out some previous research materials. After discovering that Lily would occasionally have strange dreams about rivers, he paid attention to this matter, but no matter how much research he did, there was no breakthrough. After all, Lily does not have a soul, nor does she have any true spirit. Even the spiritual power thing only appeared after assimilating with the Demon Sword Cthulhu and became a symbiosis of the Demon Sword Cthulhu. However, although Lily can use that spiritual power, it is not truly hers.
That kind of spiritual power is like typing out text with a keyboard, and then converting the typed text into sound by a voice converter.
"Is it hair or blood?"
"Hair, it's more useful. All I want is a primer." The undead witch said, gently rubbing the few hairs that Zheng Yichen took out in her hands, and the few hairs turned into a slightly gray hair. Silk thread, something similar to a fishing line: "Okay, if she really dreamed of the Styx, we will use this to fish out her false real spirit that has gone wrong. The premise is that the real spirit still exists. She has recently Have such a dream?"
"The last record was half a year ago."
"...It's too late, let's try." The Undead Witch had a pity on her face. Half a year ago, although there were many real spirits circulating in Styx, Styx might not be interested in false real spirits. She I feel that the reason why Lily has dreams is that the false true spirit was created by her using Lily's soul and the residue of the original true spirit, which has a connection with her, and at the same time because the true spirit is fake.
It cannot sink into the Styx to circulate, but can only float on the surface, which leads to the possibility of a special connection. This example...has never happened before. The loss of a normal person's true spirit is equivalent to being drawn out. Don’t even try to turn on the CPU in the mainframe computer. Vegetative people are better than people without real spirits. At least the existence of vegetative people, in this world, means that the real spirit is in a closed state and can break the seal. The shell can still wake up.
Lily is a corpse puppet. The false true spirit has fallen into the Styx, but her body can continue to think and live. The true spirit is somewhat related to her body, and then it is possible to cause her to dream. Of course, if the false true spirit It sank to the depths of the Styx, so there would definitely not be such a connection.
It’s just that I haven’t dreamed for half a year, so that false true spirit has probably entered the mouth of the River Styx and re-flowed into the present world, or it may have never really flowed into the River Styx and dispersed, no matter which one it will bring to Lily. The direct impact, but such a unique research example is gone, which makes her feel a pity.
How to confirm it.
"Speaking of which, how do we go down? Don't need me to come?"
"You still want to get close to the Styx river physically? Why don't you demolish it?" The undead witch glanced at Zheng Yichen. It is also a good idea to enter the Styx river physically. If it is so easy to get in physically, there are probably a large group of people who want to get close Take a look at the Styx River to see the scenery over there.
"What about the object?"
"Objects are okay."
The physical body can't get in, but the problem of dead objects is not a big problem, so the props prepared by Zheng Yichen can still be used. As for how to bring objects in, this is simple. Why should the portable space be embedded in the soul? What about the top? Isn't it because of the special convenience that it is often possible to perform remote operations?
It's just that I didn't master the relevant methods. When I was near the Styx, it was difficult to open the portable space. This is not a big problem for the undead witch. The bright red blood overflowed from her palm, and she drew a picture on the ground that looked very strange. It's evil, but it's not like the magic circle of the evil god's ritual: "We use this to project the soul into it. Don't look, my unique secret method, it's useless for you to copy it."
"Soul projection? That's okay." Zheng Yichen nodded suddenly. It's strange that the witch didn't say anything about precautions. It's really nothing to do with soul projection. Even if it's a death, it's a soul projection That's all, damage to the soul, generally speaking, the problem is not too big.
At the same time, since it is a projection of the soul, and the undead witch is still in the sealed space, she will not suddenly become abnormal, and she is very stable.
In the deep dark red space, there is a lack of light here, but it is not in a state where you can't see your fingers. The river flowing on the dark red sand has become the only light source in the entire Styx, just like the stars in the sky... but the color is a bit different. No matter how serious, the Styx River is filled with densely packed light spots flowing at high speed. Each light spot emits a different light, and a large number of them gather together to form the Styx River.
"I thought it was really water, but this is what it turned out to be?" Zheng Yichen said, his voice made slight waves near the Styx River, and the undead witch gave Zheng Yichen a shut-up look, Zheng Yichen immediately closed his mouth, Instead of talking, I switched to spiritual communication, and then I understood the meaning of the undead witch. The Styx is a silent place, and there is no need for any other sounds except for the sound of the Styx flowing.
Zheng Yichen's insignificant words just now are like throwing a depth bomb into the sea in this place, and the effect is so obvious.
"What are the consequences of doing this?" Zheng Yichen maintained a mental exchange.
"It will make the River Styx run wild." The undead witch gave Zheng Yichen a simple and easy-to-understand answer. She snapped her fingers, and there was a slight explosion next to the River Styx, and then there were more rivers of light flowing at high speed. A small tributary, this tributary quickly swallowed up the explosion, and re-merged into the main trunk of the Styx.
Zheng Yichen squatted down, gently grabbed a handful of sand, and raised his eyebrows involuntarily. This kind of soil is not normal soil, but a kind of true spirit that is similar to dried up, and touched this handful of soil. Afterwards, he found that his palm quickly turned pale, and then the soil stayed from his palm and fell to the ground again.
"What is the nature of the existence of Styx?" Zheng Yichen looked at the palm that slowly returned to normal. Just now, part of the soul power in his soul projection was taken away, and fell to the soil on the ground. A part of the particles floated out, and the small dim light spots slowly merged into the Styx River. A high-speed flow state like a meteor.
Zheng Yichen looked up at the sky, and there were a lot of dark "clouds" like things in the sky, which gave people a very bad feeling. As for the far distance, it was a skyline from dark red to dark. See what substantial Styx border, Styx is a straight line.
"I don't know." The Undead Witch shook her head, walked forward, and motioned for Zheng Yichen to follow. Zheng Yichen also noticed a detail, that is, the close-up view on the Styx side seemed to be fixed, and everything was basically the same , the only thing that can be seen to change is the unexplained clouds and rivers that the sky glanced at. Oh, the 'footprints' they left just now can be regarded as one kind. Looking back, there is still a little dim light in those footprints The dots floated out and merged into the Styx.
"You have also discovered that the ground under your feet will absorb soul power, and even a very dim bit of soul power can awaken such depleted true spirits, and some 'sand grains' will be washed out in a certain period of time in the Styx River. ', it may be some true spirits with insufficient quality, or it may be excess true spirits beyond the world cycle."
"Then can I do something else?"
"If you have an idea, you can even take some things away from here, although it's useless." The undead witch nodded. Now all they stay here are soul projections. Even if something happens, it will lose a little soul and at most Mental strength, it will not be a big problem.
Zheng Yichen took out a piece of soul crystal and threw it in his hand. After the soul crystal fell to the ground, it quickly became smaller, and then a large number of light spots appeared around them, like fireflies on a summer night, enveloping the two of them. Zheng Yichen He stretched out his hand and pinched a larger true spirit: "If you keep this thing in a special way and take it out, does it count as reshaping life in the true sense?"
"Of course forget it." The Undead Witch said without even thinking about it. The core of the soul is the true spirit. The soul can be shaped as long as the soul material is sufficient. She is a craftsman in this field, and it is easy to shape. What is missing is something like a true spirit, and there are a lot of original true spirits on the Styx River: "But it is not easy for you to take these things out, the premise is to bear the scour of the Styx River."
"Flush?"
"You don't think the Styx is what you see, do you? I have tested before that the flowing Styx does not have a specific direction. What you see is just the normal appearance you want to see. When they change, they will Change the flow direction in any form." The Undead Witch simply explained.
"Tsk, even if it's what you said, there are too many original true spirits in the Styx River Basin, isn't it a kind of cycle?"
The undead witch snorted softly: "Cycle? Has the person who proved this come into contact with the Styx? Have you understood the Styx? What is said about the cycle is just the inference of some remote observations and some information. The true spirit in the Styx will indeed Cycle, but it doesn't mean that there won't be more new true spirits, look at this."
Kai'Sa picked up a true spirit that was floating towards the River Styx. This true spirit rapidly inflated several times as if it were inflated, and the light emitted was as bright as an incandescent lamp. This giant true spirit that looked abnormal After the spirit set into the Styx River, it was actually shattered by the subsequent mighty small light spots. The huge true spirit was broken into dozens of smaller light spots, which were incorporated into the Styx River. Turning one side of the mouth: "Loop?"
"Okay..." Zheng Yichen had nothing to refute immediately. The undead witch has done a lot of research on Styx, and what she did just now was nothing more than telling Zheng Yichen that Styx is quite equal, even if her own true spirit is extremely powerful. After entering the Styx, they will also be broken up to become the standard specification. At most, when they are broken up, some are a little bit bigger and some are a little bit smaller.
What is the true spirit of the strong? If it is strong enough to fall into it to a certain extent, it will be directly included in the normal cycle. If it is too strong to exceed the limit, it will be caught up and crushed by the smaller and faster true spirits that flow later. Maybe the smaller one The true spirit will smash itself first, but in the Styx, no matter how small the true spirit is, it will not disappear.
In such a situation, it is quite normal for a large number of extra true spirits to appear, besides the collision of large-scale true spirits, Zheng Yichen observed carefully just now, even normal true spirits will collide, although it is very Tested eyesight, but Zheng Yichen still saw it. Some small true spirits will smash each other after collision, and some will become larger due to collision and fusion. If you continue to maintain this kind of luck, it will reach a certain level , there will be continuous collisions, and then broken again.
When he looked at the sand under his feet again, Zheng Yichen suddenly felt that these sand grains were the evidence of the remains of ancient or even more ancient creatures? At that time, there were so many powerful creatures, so the size of their true spirits would not be small, right? However, there have been more than one or two catastrophes in the history of faults, and each occurrence is the result of the near-total extinction of contemporary races. How many true spirits will fall into the Styx? Then it was broken into a large number of original true spirits in the wash of the Styx?
After those broken true spirits were ground into fine sand, they exceeded the upper limit of the Styx cycle, and then they were squeezed out and turned into sand on the shore? Think about it this way, although the Styx River Basin is not like the underworld or hell, filled with all kinds of hideous skeletons or flowers on the other side, and some are this kind of desolate silence, but you can see the truth here After that, everything they stepped on was equivalent to the remains of the dead in the past.
"So, after a person dies, in addition to intercepting the true spirit for the first time, once the true spirit falls into the Styx, don't even think about finding it again. The true spirit may be a grain of sand, or it may be One of the countless light spots in the river, the kind of reincarnation in the illusory world, and continue the frontier? Oh, it’s so beautiful to think in this world.”
Zheng Yichen curled his lips, the world of the dead in this world is a river, other worlds may be different, although he has never been in contact with it, but he will not raise an argument at the moment, this world is like this, just give it a shot or two What to do, ask yourself some questions: "So that fishing line you prepared will work?"
"Of course it can be used. The true spirit that fell into the hand is a fake one. In addition, that woman is also related to the false true spirit. This makes it possible to find it. Generally speaking, it depends on the face." The undead witch said. Then, she took out the hair that she had put together by mistake, and this long hair fluttered spontaneously.
"By the way, if we accidentally put some garbage here, it won't pollute the environment here, right?"
"Of course not. Any object thrown here will disappear after a while...probably." The undead witch said with no certainty. She must have thrown something here before, but the next time she comes near the River Styx , I can’t find those things. It may be that those things were swallowed up by the environment of the Styx, or it may be that she did not come to the right position. There is no way to locate them on the Styx side. As long as they want, they can follow the bank. Go straight on.
In order to test Styx, the longest time she walked here was for half a year. As a result, the environment she saw after walking for so long was still exactly the same as what she saw now, and there was no difference from what she saw before. Styx The environment is like this, there is no specific concept of distance here, and everything they see is what living beings like them want to see.
As for bringing Zheng Yichen here, of course it wasn't for fishing, she had other things to do, and some things could be seen more clearly from the side of the Styx River. By the way, I checked the situation of the Styx River and whether it was polluted.
