The Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 82: Strange Magic and Soul Blade

In the conference room on the top floor of Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd., the huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in bright sunlight, cutting the long black table into a staggered pattern of light and dark, with one person in the light and three in the dark.

Lehmann rested his hands on his chin, looked at the three people opposite him with sharp eyes, and said calmly: "If I am not mistaken, you are the three directors of this company. Raul Morgan, the vice chairman of the Morgan Group, is 30 You retired from the military three years ago and turned to overseas trade. You are well-known in this city and often appear in the media's sight."

He said calmly: "I heard that your face recently suffered a large area of ​​burns, and it seems that you still haven't recovered. I don't know if you have seen me, but I have seen you."

Vice Chairman Raul's face was bandaged, with only one eye exposed.

His eyes were a little nervous.

Lyman turned to look at the man next to him: "Chairman Aaron, the company under your name is the key to the operation of Linhai City's medical security system. I remember that you started researching drugs to remove scars four years ago. , didn’t you use it on your burned face?”

Chairman Aaron's eyes also changed.

"Miss Chen Jing, long time no see."

Lyman looked at the last girl again and said gently: "It must be hard for a girl to support the company left by her father, right? I promised your father that I would take good care of you, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen. . This is my responsibility. I have been busy practicing in the past few years. Fortunately, you don’t have extensive facial burns like the other two..."

He paused: "I haven't seen you in the past few years, and you have changed a lot."

Miss Chen Jing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Girls will always change when they grow up. Please remember my father's instructions back then. I can take care of myself."

Lyman leaned on the back of the seat and tapped the table with both hands: "Really? The problem is that the Miss Chen in my memory is perverse and withdrawn, with an arrogant and paranoid personality. She has always been a problem girl. I still remember that back then. When Archbishop Metanzo wanted to enter the Holy Mountain, her father was one of the many helpers and one of the main people in charge of the exploration plan. After Archbishop Metanzo disappeared, Mr. Chen led a team into the Holy Mountain to search and rescue. , and never came back.”

He said slowly: "Our Russell family was also the main participant in this incident, and we paid a heavy price for it. Because of this incident, Ms. Chen has always been very dissatisfied with us. Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen never asked me to take care of his daughter. , I was only thirteen years old when he had the accident.”

The expressions of the directors present changed.

Especially the so-called Miss Chen Jing, her underwear was even tricked out.

There was a boom.

There was a violent explosion in the building, and dust shook off.

The teacups on the table were shaking slightly.

"You three impostors should stop acting."

Lyman said calmly: "Tell me, where are they?"

Faced with his calm power, the directors only managed to hold on for ten seconds before collapsing. Just when they wanted to escape, they were surrounded by a large number of inspectors and robots.

But no one saw that across a busy commercial street, someone on the building across the street was always observing their every move with a sniper rifle scope.

Qiangwei quickly retracted her sniper rifle and translated the conversation just now using the information she got through lip reading: "Boss, these three people are all fakes."

Longque was leaning on the railing of the rooftop, smoking a cigarette and lost in thought.

"Raul, Aaron, Chen Jing, whether directly or indirectly, they are all people related to the first Holy Mountain Operation sixteen years ago. Why is it such a coincidence?"

he said softly.

The Holy Mountain has been his lifelong nightmare.

Humans have explored the Holy Mountain many times.

But only the first and sixth times were serious accidents.

There seems to be something that connects all of this.

But he still can't think clearly.

"The latest news is that there may be important hostages in the building, namely the three directors of Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd. I mentioned before. They were more or less involved in the first survey of the Holy Mountain. You act according to the situation and save them if you can. ." Long Que said into the microphone on his collar.

Qiangwei adjusted the communication channel, waiting for feedback at any time.

"Well, I think it's not a matter of people or hostages now."

A young man's voice came from the earphones: "We have made a major discovery."

At this moment, Lu Fuji walked through the maze-like corridor and stood under the flickering red light. He silently put down the woman behind him. They had used their speed to get rid of the following White Walkers along the way, but they There was no feeling of relief, but more vigilance.

Above the head is a red sign indicating the body modification area.

There was a noisy sound of electricity coming from his earphones, and the signal was no longer very good.

After all, in this hellish scene, it is normal to have no signal.

"These ghost things..."

Yuan Qing's energy was like a gossamer, as if she was afraid of waking up the dead souls in hell.

The dome here is five meters high, with transparent glass curtain walls on both sides. On the huge iron frame behind the wall are neatly arranged petri dishes. Evolutionaries soaked in nutrient solution are sleeping inside, and their bodies are all connected. An infusion tube is used to transport a certain substance.

"It looks like we've broken into something special."

Lu Fuji stared at the experimental subjects behind the glass curtain wall. Most of these people showed signs of decay. It was obvious that they had a rejection reaction when the dark matter was fused.

They were also marked as defective.

Some were less rotten and were marked as semi-finished products.

In the middle of the corridor was a huge altar.

Not only that, there were ancient stone statues and huge clay tablets, like exhibits in a museum, and sacrificial utensils were placed around them, including a crown woven from tree roots, a skull inlaid with crystals, the remains of a giant python, and an old copper bell.

"It turns out that everything in the underground ruins was moved here."

Lu Buer turned and looked at the ancient stone statue: "No wonder there were not many valuable things left except for the empty laboratory."

It was the image of a fallen angel.

There was a scarlet inverted cross on his forehead, and he wore a terrifying skull mask. His pupils seemed to reflect the scarlet of hell. His whole body was covered with hardened hard armor, and there were burning scarlet lines. The wings formed by thorns were spread out, dripping with darkness.

With the ingenious carving skills, this fallen angel seemed to burn in the darkness.

"Sister, do you think He looks like a decayed ghost or a thorn ghost?"

Lu Buer couldn't help but say.

"Yes, a little bit."

Yuan Qing came over to take a closer look: "This seems to be a wild god."

Lu Buer was stunned: "Wild God?"

"Yes, an evolved form second only to the gods."

Yuan Qing showed her background as a member of the Yuan family at this time, and explained: "Look at the hardened armor on His body, and the thorns growing on His back, which are the characteristics of decayed ghosts and thorn ghosts. Every time He evolves to a certain stage, He will gain a new ability."

"Sister, you can actually remember these."

Lu Buer exclaimed.

"I heard about the specific principles back then, but I forgot it!"

Yuan Qing pouted: "That kind of class is too hypnotic."

Lu Buer wiped his face hard, and he really couldn't trust this woman too much.

However, when he turned around and looked at the sculpture, his mind became active.

One day, he might also evolve into this.

Yuan Qing stared at the huge clay tablet under the stone statue and looked at it carefully. These were undoubtedly the words of the Ministry of Rebirth. She bit her finger and looked at it for a long time, as if she understood something.

"Can you understand it?"

Lu Buer was shocked.

This should be the clay tablet document that was taken away from the Ministry of Rebirth.

He couldn't understand a word.

If Yuan Qing could understand it, it would be the sun rising from the west.

"Last time I lost face on the snowy plain, so I went back to make up for it."

Yuan Qing raised her chin proudly: "This time I understand it!"

She had a show-off expression on her face.

As if saying: "Praise me quickly!"

"Sister, please speak."

"This clay tablet seems to be talking about the principle of the alien magic. The real alien magic is determined by the physique and soul of each evolver. When they swallow the dark matter, if it is compatible with themselves, a certain organ in the body will undergo a certain degree of mutation. The ability generated by the mutation is related to the evolutionary chain to which the dark matter belongs, but it will not perfectly replicate the ability of the aliens."

"Well... I didn't understand."

Lu Buer shook his head.

Xuelian did explain it to him at that time, but it was very general.

"Well, let me think about it."

Yuan Qing had only a vague understanding of the existence of the alien magic before, and only now did he understand it: "In short, taking the evolutionary chain of the Creation Nest as an example, the organ that mutates is the skin. When you merge the dark matter of this sequence, the skin will mutate. Considering that your numerology is the thunder attribute, your skin may also change the thunder attribute."

"I see."

Lu Buer understood: "Sister, you are so smart today."

"When am I not smart?"

Yuan Qing frowned and said modestly: "If I hadn't secretly observed Long Que performing the alien magic a few years ago, I probably wouldn't understand it. What he devoured was the alien from the evolutionary chain of the Candle Day Dragon, and then his spine mutated and could transform into a dragon!"

Lu Buer's heart moved. This is indeed different from his own ability.

Because he is likely to devour an entire evolutionary chain.

In short, his own ability is to devour aliens.

Thus becoming an alien and mastering their abilities.

The alien magic is more like combining the dark matter with numerology.

Make your numerology change.

"For example, the hardening of the decaying ghost, if the evolvers of the tree genus get the ability to harden, they will become hard wood! But ordinary people will not fuse such low-level aliens. The ability of an evolutionary chain, of course, comes from the gods at the top. Assuming that there is a god with omniscience and omnipotence, you may get omnipotence by fusing the eighth stage form, and omniscience by fusing the seventh stage, and so on, and the ability becomes weaker and weaker. If you fuse the first stage, you may get a perception ability at most."

There was a bright light in Yuan Qing's beautiful eyes, as if she was eager to try: "The alien magic is best combined with numerology. For example, my fire attribute is not compatible with this hard ability. I should also look for the aliens of the evolutionary chain of the Candle Day Dragon, so that I can greatly enhance my combat effectiveness."

Lu Buer understood.

In other words, the alien magic is useful to him.

Because his dark matter cannot affect numerology at present.

"Sister, I see that you seem very excited. I remember that you are from the Holy Family at the headquarters. Isn't there anyone in your family who has mastered the White Walker technique?"

he asked again.

"No, I don't know why, this new system created by the third generation of the Holy Monarch has been listed as taboo. But I know that the Federation has actually been studying the White Walkers and wants to make it harmless. , some families are already experimenting in secret. But before this thing is officially legal, it will be illegal if you rashly master the ghost technique."

Yuan Qing muttered: "On the contrary, the soul blade system pioneered by Lord Metanzo has now become the mainstream. But unfortunately, Lord Metanzu failed to become the Holy Monarch."

"Medanzo?"

This is the second time Lu Fuji has heard this name.

He also had a rough impression of the Soul Blade.

When he first came to the Third City Guards, the huge iron bow in Yuan Qing's hand was the legendary soul blade. Later he went on missions with her and saw her use it several times.

I have to say, it is very powerful.

Noah Agency seems to be responsible for forging this weapon.

"Just listen to what I have to say about these things. They are not allowed to be spread to outsiders."

Yuan Qing glared: "Especially the ghost magic, you must not learn it. My father said that thing is Pandora's box. Although it will bring you great power, it will also bring you disaster. Master it. Most of the people who have mastered the alien magic can no longer be regarded as human beings. The Yuan family has also suppressed several disasters caused by the alien magic, and paid a considerable price for the existence of the alien magic. Also expel and suppress as much as possible.”

She emphasized: "So far, only Longque is still alive and remains sane. But that guy's life can be considered completely ruined, right?"

Oh my god, don’t suppress me too one day.

Lu Buer complained in his heart, and asked curiously: "What happened to Longque? I always feel that he is lifeless and has nothing to care about except the Holy Mountain."

Yuan Qing shrugged: "I don't know the specifics, but look at what he looks like now. Not only has he been seriously injured and his strength has declined, and he needs medicine to restore his strength, but his legs are disabled and he has difficulty moving. What the little nurse I met today said Yes, he won't live long."

Lu Fuji fell silent.

Can’t live long?

Yuan Qing continued to interpret the content on the clay tablet: "So that's it. No wonder I didn't think of the White Walkers when I first saw the corpse-eating cult. Because their experiments were incomplete, some people did get the abilities of the dead ghosts or the thorn ghosts. , but it also became rotten and died soon. Or, it was simply used as a host, just like that guy Guilun."

Lu Fuji thought thoughtfully: "Is that why it's called defective products or semi-finished products?"

This is obviously somewhat similar to his own ability.

Rather than White Walkers.

These subjects gained the abilities of the White Walkers, but did not evolve gradually.

Instead, it sews together a human and some kind of White Walker.

It seems that the research on the Corpse Food Cult is indeed not going well.

Yuan Qing raised her head and looked above her head.

There were several empty petri dishes there.

"Little deer, look."

She suddenly said: "What is marked on this?"

Lu Fuji narrowed his eyes: "Quasi finished product, quasi high-end finished product!"

They both looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Regardless of the meaning of this quasi-word.

Just the two words "finished product" and "high-end finished product" were enough to shock them.

These lunatics from the Corpse Food Cult actually did some tricks!

At this moment, they heard the sound of the glass curtain wall breaking.

In the corridor they passed, the sleeping experimental subjects opened their eyes in an instant, and their pupils revealed bloodthirsty murderous intent.

It was as if the demons were awakening from their slumber!

"Sister, it seems that the double queue with you this time is a bit difficult."

Shika Fuji murmured.

Facing so many experimental subjects, he could no longer hold back.

The dark matter covered by divine magic was about to move, gathering on his right shoulder blade.

"I've also discovered that it's a bit awkward to play double queue with you!"

Yuan Qing raised her hand, and a small iron bow pendant appeared in her palm.

As the iron bow cut through the palm, it was moistened by blood and suddenly trembled and swelled.
