Chu Yan looked at the light and frowned even more. With the old man's strength, he could tell that the light had nothing to do with Xing Yun. The light was very similar to the aura Chu Yan had just felt from Su Lie, almost identical.
That is darkness, that is the abyss!
That was obviously not the star energy. What Su Lie was using now was very similar to the power of the black people and high-level black people.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan's eyes were filled with worry.
Speaking of that ray of light, after it fell into the room, it seemed to activate something. The light spread and expanded like water, quickly filling the space and then pulling up balls of light and shadows.
The light and shadows were very blurry at first, but soon they became clear. Although there were signs of twisting from time to time, it was roughly clear that it was Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu, who was transformed by light and shadow, was looking outside at this time, giving people a feeling of anticipation. Soon, he suddenly stepped back, and then gravel transformed by light and shadow splashed into the inside of the room.
Chu Yan couldn't help but look at Su Lie. He knew that Su Lie was now recreating the events that happened on that day, and he didn't know how Su Lie did it.
Soon, another figure appeared in the room. From the other person's figure and appearance, even though this group of light and shadow was much blurrier than Yuan Shu's, Chu Yan still recognized him at a glance: "Wei Chengzhou!"
"That's impossible. Didn't the Blue Dragon say he didn't come out of the grave?"
"How did Wei Chengzhou return to Qingtian Castle?"
Su Lie thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "He has a way."
Chu Yan glanced at him.
At this time, the light and shadow in the room changed. Wei Chengzhou seemed to be going to take Yuan Shu away, but suddenly a blurry light and shadow appeared in the room. The light and shadow fought with Wei Chengzhou, but it seemed that the opponent's movements were not smooth or natural enough.
I feel like I have to think a little before every move.
"That's Long Xuanyuan." Chu Yan pointed at the third humanoid figure in the room and said, "From his movements, he has been affected by some ability. He can't see anything, can't feel anything, and can only rely on the feedback of the energy aftermath and his own experience to simulate the opponent's movements and respond accordingly."
Su Lie nodded: "He has done very well, but in the end, he was just doing it reluctantly, so his strength was greatly reduced."
At this time, a ray of light passed by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu seemed to be injured, but Wei Chengzhou took the opportunity to force Long Xuanyuan away and took Yuan Shu away.
A light flashed in Su Lie's eyes, and the light and shadow in the room gradually faded. He rushed into the room quickly, found the place where Yuan Shu was injured just now, squatted down, turned over a few fallen rocks, swept away the dust on the ground, and saw a few spots of coagulated blood on the ground.
He immediately patted the ground, and the ground cracked immediately. Su Lie easily took out the blood-stained fragment and put it in his pocket.
"How about it?"
Seeing Su Lie coming out, Chu Yan immediately asked.
Su Lie smiled slightly and said, "Some discoveries may help us find Yuan Shu."
"Really? That's great. I'll go with you."
"No."
Su Lie shook his head: "Commander, I want to go alone. Also, you have to inform the Golden Court that Wei Chengzhou's condition is very abnormal. I suspect he has turned into a 'skin bag'."
"What!"
Chu Yan was shocked: "Why do you say that?"
Su Lie said in a low voice: "Commander, you just said that Wei Chengzhou is trapped in the tomb. Normally
Without the 'key', he cannot come out of the tomb."
"But what if someone gave him the 'key'?"
Chu Yan took a breath and said, "Strange God?"
"Yes, there are more than one ancient existence and ancient will in the tomb. And they all try their best to leave the tomb and enter our world."
Su Lie nodded and said, "So I guess Wei Chengzhou may have reached a consensus with a certain ancient will, so he was able to come out of the tomb. The only question is what stage Wei Chengzhou is in now."
"Stage?" Chu Yan was confused.
Su Lie smiled and said, "I have also stayed in the tomb for a few years. There are some ancient wills whose brains are not very bright. When I came into contact with them, I got some interesting information from them."
"For example, if they parasitize us humans, even if they obtain our skin, they won't immediately become alien gods. This requires a process and three or four stages."
"The first stage is when the ancient will has just completed parasitism. They need to adapt to the new body and will choose to sleep temporarily. During this stage, the skin will not feel too abnormal. They can still control their own consciousness and act according to their own will."
"It's just that sometimes he would hear voices that didn't belong to him, and some images that he had never seen would appear in his head."
"The duration of the first stage can be long or short. It can be as long as ten or twenty years, or even several decades or hundreds of years. It all depends on whether the skin reaches some agreement with the ancient will."
Chu Yan just felt incredible: "Can the skin be negotiated?"
"Yes, if you are not deceived. Of course, whether the ancient will will be followed and how long it can be followed is another matter. But generally speaking, the first stage will last at least half a year."
Su Lie continued: "When the ancient will ends its slumber, it awakens in the skin and begins to control the body without the skin's consciousness. When it is able to use its own power and abilities, it enters the second stage."
"The second stage is the stage where the skin and the ancient consciousness coexist. They control the body at different time periods and do not interfere with each other. Sometimes, the ancient consciousness will even lend its own power and ability to the skin, and let the skin think that this is its own power, and then begin to invade the skin's consciousness, preparing for the third stage."
"By the third stage, the consciousness of the skin has been invaded and is riddled with holes. They are no longer able to resist. The ancient consciousness will fully accept the body and make certain changes so that the skin can adapt to their power and can exert their power."
"However, in the third stage, although they can already be called alien gods at this stage, due to their integration and adaptability, their skins will often collapse. At this time, the alien gods will look for new skins and parasitize again."
"So, after they occupy the first body, they will use various methods to deceive the body, making it think that it can control the ancient consciousness, or that it has not been parasitized, so that the body can leave the reverse world as soon as possible and return to our world behind the door."
"The purpose of doing this is that when the skin collapses, they can quickly find a second skin. After all, there are as many skins as they want on this side of the door!"
Chu Yan was stunned. This information overturned his common sense and it was as if a storm had been set off in his brain, confusing his mind.
After a moment, he said, "Then the fourth stage is..."
Su Lie's expression became serious.
He said solemnly: "I don't know the specific information. I have only heard about this stage, but I guess that the fourth stage should be when EsGod finds the perfect skin, which can fully exert its power without collapsing."
"Of course this is just my guess, but if an EsGod enters the fourth stage, then the situation will be worse and more serious than I imagined, and it will definitely not be easier."
After saying that, Su Lie nodded and said, "I'm leaving now, Commander. Please give my regards to my wife."
"etc."
Chu Yan stretched out his hand to catch Su Lie, but suddenly a black flame rose between him and Su Lie, separating them. After the flame, Su Yan turned and left, and when Chu Yan broke the flame with a punch, there was no trace of Su Lie.
The old man looked around in a daze. If it weren't for the black flames burning on the ground, he would almost doubt that what he had just done was just a dream.
He is back.
He left again.
well... ...
The old commander sighed.
When they reached the wilderness outside the fortress, Su Lie took out the stone stained with Yuan Shu's blood. He stretched out a finger, and a dark flame ignited at the tip of the finger, and he used this finger to scrape the stone.
The bloodstains on the stone disappeared, but the flame on the fingertips turned into a black butterfly.
The butterfly flapped its wings and flew into the wilderness. Su Lie chased after the butterfly, and this chase lasted the entire night.
In a blink of an eye.
It's already the second day.
The butterfly flew into a settlement and landed gently on the rusty carcass of a vehicle.
In the settlement, a figure flashed and Su Lie appeared among them.
He looked around, his eyes cold and heavy.
The settlement was very quiet, not a single person could be seen, which was very unusual. Su Lie saw patched dolls and pistols scattered all over the ground.
He pushed open a shed and saw a assembled radio rustling in the house, saw flies attracted by half-eaten food on the table, saw that the water in the kitchen was not turned off and the dishes were only half washed...
It was as if all the people in this settlement suddenly disappeared en masse.
Su Lie walked out of the house and looked at the butterfly again. It was no longer moving, which meant that it could no longer track Yuan Shu's breath.
At this moment, Su Lie suddenly felt dazed and was unconscious for a moment.
He swayed and almost fell down.
"Damn it, has this reached the limit?" Su Lie held onto the wall, "No, one more day, give me another day."
He walked forward, and suddenly his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground. Fatigue came over him like a tide, and he had reached his limit in the constant fight against the darkness in his body.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep." Su Lie bit his tongue hard and forced himself to open his eyes again. His eyes became blurry and darkness was slowly spreading around his eyes.
He tried to get up, but fell down again. He got up again, and then fell down again. After repeating this several times, he finally lay on the ground, motionless.
He seemed to have fallen asleep.
It seems like I will never wake up.
But after a moment, Su Lie suddenly jumped up, gasping for breath, and looked around in panic.
He touched his face and looked at his hands: "I'm okay? I'm okay! I... my star essence has recovered?"
Between the palms, a ball of silver, warm light slowly rises, like the rising sun, bringing infinite hope!
