Although some have shortcomings such as short duration and long cooling time, this magician's magic dress can indeed be called a very useful prop.
—and look cool in it.
And the next second after Bai Zhi left the place, the place where he was originally collapsed quickly, and an opened coffin appeared there. After waiting for a while, no one was around, the coffin slowly opened. It closed and then sank into the soil.
"Although it's not the first time I've seen a place like this, it still feels weird..."
The figure appeared on the path made of bluestone. Looking at the situation there, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
The delivery location selected by Shunfeng Express is fixed, and this location is given by the communication card of the deceased Zero. After sending such an inexplicable message to Yanhuo Fengyue, the location of the communication card has never moved again. Pass.
In other words, the location where he was before was where the communication card of the deceased Zero was.
But in this current situation...
Bai Zhi raised his head and looked into the distance.
Densely packed graves and tombstones stand on the ground, one after another as far as the eye can see.
Here is a cemetery.
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 827 Chapter 817 Photo on the Tombstone (4k)
What appeared in front of Bai Zhi was a large and messy cemetery.
The ubiquitous tombstones and grave mounds of various sizes are the main theme of this cemetery.
The old loess and bare tombstones gave the entire cemetery a dark yellowish tone.
Between these tombstones and grave mounds, there are paths paved with bluestones. The position where Bai Zhi is standing now is on the paths.
"Cemetery..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
The shadow guard that was sent here by Shunfeng Express before landed in the cemetery. Since he could only feel the shadow guard's condition, he could not judge what happened to the shadow guard at that time.
When he decided to teleport there, in his perception, the shadow guard was not dead. Then after the shadow puppet was teleported by him, what was reflected in the shadow puppet's field of vision was darkness, as if he was in a narrow space. unable to move in the space.
Later, he spent a lot of effort to escape from that small space, but at that time, the shadow puppet's whole body was wrapped in flesh and blood, so he could not judge what the surrounding environment was like. .
Judging from the current situation, the place where the shadow guard and shadow puppet stayed before was probably inside the coffin...
"...Another shelter?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction where he was originally standing.
This guess is not unreasonable. It is just like the train he experienced before and the desert scene that trapped the West Pavilion Master and he could not get out no matter what. The essence of the two is actually the same. It is a containment facility built to confine ghost stories to a certain area.
In essence, the cemetery in front of us may not be much different from the previous two.
"When the Shadow Guard landed here, he was swallowed by a coffin just like what happened to me. The main body of the Flesh Compass may be stored in the coffin. Then the Shadow Guard was affected, and then he was teleported back by me... "
While thinking about this in his heart, Bai Zhi's eyes fell on the grave.
He had finally figured out the basics of the encounter between the Shadow Guard and the Shadow Puppet, but there were some things that he still couldn't figure out.
Take the most obvious point, how could the communication card of the deceased Zero be left there
And judging from the message sent by the deceased Ling, that message and his current scene are completely inconsistent.
Puppy, back garden, third door, eyes, desire...
None of the keywords he extracted from those messages could match the scene he had observed so far.
Or... the weather
Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sky was still fragmented, and the dense cracks looked quite scary. You could vaguely see damaged cards between the cracks.
The sky in the entire core area showed a shaky yellowish color, with some unknown red light still faintly revealed.
If ordinary people stay in such an environment for a while, their emotions will be affected and they will lose control. Bad weather like this has nothing to do with the saying that the weather is good.
The problem, where is it
Bai Zhi moved his eyes away from the tomb and looked further away.
If there is a ghost story buried under every grave in this cemetery, then the number of ghost stories imprisoned in this cemetery will be tens of thousands, and that is not a number that he can fight alone. .
But are there really so many things buried in this cemetery
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi took out Yanhuo Fengyue's communication card from his pocket and took a look at it.
It's just a pity that, perhaps due to the previous encounter between the shadow guard and the shadow puppet, the location on the communication card about the deceased Zero has disappeared on it.
Either the deceased Zero put his communication card into his backpack, or the communication card has been completely damaged and has lost its use.
—Bai Zhi is more inclined to the second possibility.
The communication card itself is too fragile, and the slightest movement may cause it to be damaged. For example, his own communication card was damaged during the battle with the suture monster before.
Therefore, it is not impossible that the deceased Zero's communication card has been completely destroyed.
"I always feel like I am saving the gourd baby when grandpa saves me..."
While complaining in his mouth, Bai Zhixu opened his eyes and put the communication card of Yanhuo Fengyun into his backpack.
This clue has been broken, and he can only think of another way.
As for him saying that he is like grandpa saving Calabash Baby, in a sense, he is really right.
First, there was Yanhuo Fengyue who was crushed under the mountain, then the West Pavilion Master who was trapped in Kaitan's body, and then the deceased Ling who didn't know what happened... He was like a firefighter, rushing to the fire wherever there was. Go up, what's going on
After putting the communication card into his backpack, Bai Zhi took out a pointer from his backpack.
[Anchor Pointer] was a damaged prop he obtained on the first cruise ship. At the beginning, he originally wanted to find a manufacturer to repair this prop to find the entrance to the core area. It's just that I didn't need it later because I met Wu Lingmeng and others on that small island.
But even though it was no longer needed, he still asked Hu Lingmeng to repair the equipment. For this, he paid the price of a whole box of lollipops...
[Anchor Pointer], the effect of this prop is the same simple. After setting a mark at a place, the pointer will firmly point to the marked point, and can anchor up to five locations.
After this piece of equipment was repaired by Wo Lingmeng, the number of locations recorded by the anchor on this pointer was two. Of the two locations recorded, one pointed to the core area, which was also the passage leading to the core area, which was also the cave.
As for the other anchor recording point recorded above, Bai Zhi speculated that it pointed to the safe evacuation point in the area of [The Endless Deep Sea].
After using the [Anchor Pointer] to record the location where he was currently standing, Bai Zhi walked forward along the path paved with bluestones built among the dense tombs.
In other words, it can't be called walking, it's more like teleporting. The duration of wearing the magic dress is five minutes. Since he came here, the time spent observing the surrounding environment has only passed. Less than a minute.
"Magic dresses shouldn't have been used before. In this weird environment, the perspective function obviously plays a greater role than teleportation..."
With God's perspective fully open, Bai Zhi was hurriedly teleporting through the cemetery while thinking secretly in his heart.
After the shadow puppet's whole body was covered with that layer of flesh and blood, many things were affected. All the equipment it wore was in an unusable state, and the God's perspective from [Pluto] was naturally unusable.
Otherwise, if he had known in advance that this area was a cemetery-like structure, he would not have used the teleportation ability of [Magic Dress]. Wouldn't perspective be better
Although using clairvoyance to observe the things buried in these tombs may lead to contamination of one's spirit and crazy decline in sanity, for him, these things are exactly the type of things he is least afraid of.
But now, he can only wait until the one-hour cooling time of [Magic Dress] is over.
The short duration and long cooling time are the shortcomings of the [Magic Dress].
While moving forward along the road, Bai Zhi kept silently observing the surrounding grave mounds and tombstones.
From the outside, these tombs were large or small, and the tombstones were also of different heights. Some of the tombs had been dug out from the inside. Bai Zhi could see the coffin that was broken into two halves and the front of the coffin that was broken. Some of the tombstones are still intact, but the soil around the tombs is in a state of being renovated.
Because he had to observe changes in the surrounding environment, Bai Zhi's progress was not too fast. It seemed that as long as he was on this path paved with bluestones and did not step into the tomb, he would move forward. Absolutely no attack.
But as long as one part of his body leaves the range of this bluestone path, the nearest grave mounds and loess will have a horrific riot, trying to wrap him up in the coffin.
- Regarding this point, Bai Zhi specifically conducted experiments on old sows.
Other than that, this cemetery was quite quiet, so quiet that Bai Zhi could even hear his own heartbeat.
Walking in this kind of cemetery for a long time is a considerable mental and psychological test for a person... and for others.
For Bai Zhi himself, he didn't feel anything at all. On the contrary, he still had the leisure to tease Q Lingmeng who was sitting on his shoulders and clutching his collar tightly.
The longer he stays in this cemetery, the deeper the impact seems to be. Bai Zhi himself doesn't feel much, but Q Lingmeng has begun to look a little restless. As the [Magic Dress] continues After the time disappeared, Q Lingmeng was unwilling to stay in the hat at all. Instead, he insisted on coming out and sitting on his shoulders, sticking closely to him.
Q Lingmeng seemed to have an inexplicable fear of the environment around her. Under the influence of this psychology, she didn't even want to eat her favorite lollipop.
"Really not?"
Holding a peeled green apple flavored lollipop in his hand, Bai Zhi looked at Q Lingmeng sitting on his shoulder.
Looking at the lollipop in front of him, Q Lingmeng first looked at the surrounding environment, then lowered his head and glanced at his hand that was tightly grasping the collar. After a period of mental struggle, Q Reimu shook his head very hard.
In the face of delicious food and security, she still chose security.
"Oh, then I'll eat it."
Seeing that Q Lingmeng had made his choice, Bai Zhi no longer forced himself and stuffed the lollipop into his mouth.
Q Reimu: ('???')
The grave mounds and tombstones seemed to be endless, and the bluestone paths were winding and stacked. After the time for wearing the [Magic Dress] came, Bai Zhi could only choose to walk among these bluestone paths.
Due to the special nature of this cemetery, the ragdoll cat cannot be used. However, as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. While walking slowly forward along the bluestone path, Bai Zhi made a new discovery.
Along the way, with the bonus of God's perspective and [Pluto's] vision, Bai Zhi saw at least hundreds of tombstones and grave mounds.
Although it was a bit of a quickie due to the teleportation, he would not miss important things like that.
-Five or six minutes after arriving at the cemetery, he found the first tombstone with a name engraved on it.
In other words, not only the name, but also a photo similar to a posthumous photo is attached to the tombstone.
Although he did not recognize the name Bai Zhi engraved on the tombstone, he still recognized the figure in the paper photo posted on the upper right side of the tombstone.
—[The moon reflects the snow and the clouds disperse].
In the copy in the library before, he met one of the twin sisters from another world.
"..."
After staring at the black and white photo for a while, Bai Zhi paused slightly, and then continued walking forward along the path.
After walking a few steps, Bai Zhi discovered the second tombstone under the influence of God's perspective.
He also didn't recognize the name Bai Zhi engraved on this tombstone, but he still recognized the photo.
—[Smile without staining your cheeks and make you feel ashamed].
In his impression, the twin sisters seemed to be inseparable. Unexpectedly, they were both posted on the tombstones, but they still remained like that.
"Tombstone, photo, name..."
While biting the lollipop in his mouth, Bai Zhi thought about it in his mind. Although he hated sweets, the lollipop in his mouth tasted more sour, so it was not difficult to accept.
Although he was a little surprised to meet acquaintances here, these two acquaintances were all turned into photos and posted on tombstones...
Suddenly frowning, Bai Zhi raised his head and looked into the distance.
- Wherever he could see, a large amount of fog surged toward him like a tide.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 828 Chapter 818 The Gravekeeper and “Desire”
This thick fog suddenly rose up from nowhere and was filling the entire cemetery at a very fast speed.
Just ten seconds after Bai Zhi discovered the fog, the area he was currently in was also quickly enveloped in fog.
The mist was so vast that it compressed his field of vision to a very small area around him. No matter where he looked around, all he saw was a vast expanse of white mist.
Immediately afterwards, a heart-wrenching cough came from the depths of the thick fog.
The feeling of the coughing sound was as if a dying old man was dragging his dilapidated body through the cemetery when the thick fog covered the entire cemetery.
"..."
After standing patiently and listening for a moment, Bai Zhi quietly walked towards the place where the coughing sound came from.
The cemetery before it was covered by thick fog seemed to have lost the characteristics of the previous attack. At this time, even if you walked directly on the grave mound, there would be no movement below the ground.
After walking in the thick fog for about three or four minutes, Bai Zhi saw the coughing figure.
Looking from his side, it was an old man with a broken body, wearing a black coat. He was squatting in front of a tombstone and carving something on the tombstone with the tools in his hand.
The old man's physical strength seemed extremely weak. Every time he used the chisel and hammer in his hand to carve on the tombstone for a period of time, he had to stop and take a short rest. The scary coughing sound came from him.
Because of the thick fog and the fact that Bai Zhi didn't dare to get too close, Bai Zhi couldn't see clearly what was going on there.
