Ye Qingxuan saw his head fly up from his shoulders, fly into the sky, fall to the ground, and roll into the corner.
He was stunned for a moment, touched his neck, and then touched his head: his neck was intact and his head was still in its original position.
Everything seems fine.
Whose head is that flying up
"My illusion can't fool him for long, why are you still stupid?" Laura's voice sounded again: "Let's go, he has merged with the entire Shadow of Avalon, you can't kill him here!"
In the sky, the light of the azure moon becomes more and more strange, and there is a hint of coquettishness in the dimness. Just looking at it makes people feel trance-like.
Relying on the resonance between the two and the transfer of the beacon, Laura used the light of the blue moon to forcefully transmit the power across the border.
Distortion level.
This is an out-and-out distortion.
At that moment, she eroded the blade with moonlight and assimilated it. The iron blade turned into nothingness of light. The moonlight and the boy passed by each other.
Even without touching it, a thin trace of blood was left on Ye Qingxuan's neck.
Unexpectedly, the direction Laura chose was the extremely unorthodox "fantasy materialization", which can materialize illusions into entities and transform entities into illusions.
At the same time, it combines the power of illusion and telepathic schools. It seems that the "scepter" that Laura chose for herself is not generally difficult.
Although there were random thoughts in his mind, Ye Qingxuan had no time to hesitate. The moment Laura's voice sounded, he turned around and left.
On the spot, Parcival was so confused by the head that appeared in the illusion that he didn't even notice the young man melting into the moonlight.
The experience of becoming one with the blue moon is quite strange, as if the whole person has lost its entity and is floating in the air at an incredibly fast speed. He passed dozens of meters in one step, and his legs felt like wind.
After running for two steps, Ye Qingxuan suddenly stopped, turned around, and turned back!
"Wait! Where are you going?"
"He came from that direction. There was still blood on the sword when he came... Who do you think the blood belongs to?"
Ye Qingxuan bypassed the direction of Parcival and ran quickly towards the place where it came from. He could almost hear Laura gritting her teeth, "Ye Qingxuan, are you looking for death!"
"Ahaha, sister, you really know how to joke."
He grinned and said softly: "Since I entered Avalon, what have I done not to seek death? I finally found some clues. No matter whether I can find it or not, I will look for it first!"
A pair of white eyes appeared in the moonlight, seemingly dissatisfied.
But Laura's power was still not removed. Instead, it enveloped the young man more closely, melting him into the ubiquitous moonlight.
Only a breeze blew through the ruins.
Soon, Ye Qingxuan stopped and saw the miserable corpse.
He was obviously a victim who was left behind. The unlucky guy was probably struck by Percival's sword from the front, and half of his body had been evaporated.
That’s right, evaporation.
Real evaporation.
There were only half-cooked corpses lying on the ground, being eaten by the monsters everywhere: The welfare of the Shadow of Avalon was poor, and it had not eaten a hot meal for many years.
Everyone, hurry up and eat while it's hot...
This time, Ye Qingxuan didn't need to speak, the moonlight swept across like running water, and several monsters disappeared without a trace and melted. Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan's heart went crazy.
"Why are you still standing there? You said you wanted to come and see it, and you saw it. What are you going to do next?"
"What else can be done?"
Ye Qingxuan pulled the leather gloves on his hands: "You are not as good as me in collecting evidence, just watch."
He has not used his expertise in this area for a long time since participating in the school anniversary trial. Today, he suddenly has a chance to use it. I have to say that he is a little excited.
The moonlight in his eyes was blazing, sweeping over the corpses on the ground. His sight penetrated the pulpy flesh and looked at the broken bones below: "Judging from the bones, he should be forty years old. The ether in the blood is thick, he should be a person." Musician, let me see the race..."
He grabbed the half-broken head on the ground, looked at it for a moment and then nodded: "Looking at the brow bone, cheekbones, and skeleton, it shouldn't be an Anglo. As for the body... Aha!"
He opened the clothes on the chest of the corpse and saw the twisted and strange emblem on the heart - the believer of the Hundred-Eyed One, "Lola, which natural disaster did this guy sign a contract with? Can you tell?"
"There are scaly soft tissues under the skin, and there are traces of webbing. Let's look behind his ears... There are no gills. It should not be a pure marine natural disaster, but probably an amphibious demon transformation."
"oh?"
Ye Qingxuan pondered: "In his forties, he is a black musician. In his pocket is the ancestral amulet that border countries like to wear. The musical instrument is a harp. He is an amphibious demon transformation... There are three on the bounty list that meet the characteristics, and one of them died last year. One is a woman, and the last remaining one is probably lying in front of us. He is the 'Lepid Lizard' who has been on a bounty for twenty-one years."
Laura was silent for a long time and asked:
"… so what?"
"It's nothing, I'm just pretending."
“…”
Laura was too lazy to speak, but Ye Qingxuan quickly turned over the corpses on the ground, until finally he found a hand-drawn map from his backpack.
Most of it has been torn into pieces, with only about a third remaining.
Fortunately, their destination had been marked on that simple map, but without any relevant names, it was almost completely useless.
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and meditated, constantly comparing lines in his mind: If the Shadow of Avalon came from Avalon, it would be easy to handle.
For hundreds of years, the general layout of Avalon has not changed at all, so if you do an exhaustive search, you may not be unable to find it...
Soon, he opened his eyes, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"No, this is not the map of Avalon. It's so strange."
He pinched his chin and thought: "There are indeed a lot of matches, but they are all trivial. It's so strange that the House took such a big risk to send people in. Could it be sending people into garbage incinerators and raising pigs? But the layout here is the same as Avalon. If it’s not a map of Avalon, what the hell would it be?”
"... You'd better hurry up. I can feel it. Percival has seen through my illusion."
Before he finished speaking, an angry roar came from the distance, and then, as if substantial pressure spread, the moonlight on the young boy's body flickered.
But Ye Qingxuan didn't listen at all, he just fell into deep thought for a long time. He subconsciously walked in place until he kicked something with his toes, which shocked him and made him realize what he was doing.
"Laura, that's not the map of downtown Avalon."
He bent down and looked at the sewer cover in front of him, his eyes stunned: "It's the route map of the Avalon sewer. There are too many dangers on the ground. They passed through the sewer..."
In the distance, the sound of Parcival's angry horse hooves was getting closer and closer. It was extremely difficult for Laura to maintain the illusion on him: "Anything will be fine soon, you'd better go farther away!"
"no problem."
Ye Qingxuan no longer hesitated and jumped into the darkness in the sewer.
In the darkness, he heard an angry roar above him and a series of loud bangs. Another huge creature seemed to be angered, jumped out of the darkness and started fighting violently.
Amid bursts of roars and screams, Ye Qingxuan sped up and ran away without any intention of looking back at the result: No matter what these two were, even if they still had a breath left, they would be dead if they glared at him. .
The sewer was extremely silent, without any of the filthiness of Avalon. It was so clean that people were uncomfortable with it. Walking in it was like walking into something's tomb.
Step by step into the depths of darkness, into death.
On the road, Ye Qingxuan used the moonlight in his eyes to move forward. Looking quickly, he found traces of someone passing by not long ago, and there were also signs of a fight. He saw two more mutilated corpses one after another.
There were many demons in the middle, but Ye Qingxuan had the moonlight magic, so he just tiptoed by without being alarmed.
Right in the middle, there was a fork that was completely dark, with no breath coming out, and it was as quiet as a dark abyss. But for some reason, Ye Qingxuan felt hairy all over when he was standing not far away and didn't dare to get closer.
After hesitating for a moment, he took a detour.
In the long silence, he heard Laura's voice.
"Ye Qingxuan?"
He woke up from his reverie and responded: "I am."
"Speak, don't let me think you're dead."
"Sorry, I was wondering what they were planning to do." Ye Qingxuan pondered, "If I guessed correctly, their destination should be the Royal Musicians."
"Royal Orchestra?"
Laura's response was astonishing: "What will happen to the Royal Orchestra in Shadow of Avalon?"
"I don't know - maybe there is a group of monster musicians." Ye Qingxuan half-joked, then fell silent: he was frightened by his own idea.
According to his understanding, Avalon and the Shadow of Avalon are one and the same, corresponding to each other. It's just that there are no civilians on the streets, only a group of monsters.
So, what will become of the musicians of the Royal Orchestra here...
He didn't know and didn't dare to think about it.
"Ye Qingxuan, if you go further, I won't be able to help you anymore." Laura's voice was tired, with a hint of apology: "Forcibly crossing the sea of ether will consume too much, and I can't reach the level of the teacher. realm."
"Except for his kind of perversion, how many people in this world can reach the level of 'the bright moon rises above the sea'? Forcing cross-border resonance is already very difficult for you, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "Leave it to me next. Don't worry, I will find a way to leave here."
Laura was silent for a long time and sighed:
"Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Immediately afterwards, the moonlight on Ye Qingxuan's body rippled for a while, and finally, it was like a very thin crystal, solidifying on his body.
Laura used her last strength to anchor the illusion on his body, hiding his aura and whereabouts.
Then, the resonance ended.
Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath and relaxed the faint fatigue coming from his limbs. Fortunately, most of the pressure was borne by Laura from beginning to end, and he himself did not suffer much loss.
He raised the Nine Heavens Ring and closed his eyes.
It’s been a long time since I’ve practiced, so maybe it won’t be unfamiliar to me, right
A melody that was too subtle to be noticed sounded, blended into the silence, and spread quietly.
— Bolero.
The water vapor gathered quickly, condensing into threads of thought, extending in all directions, growing, and growing again, until finally, it stopped at the fourth quarter.
Sensing distance of about four hundred meters.
It's not that you can't continue playing backwards, but if you continue, the melody will move from hidden to high-pitched, and will progress to the point where it cannot be suppressed.
If it causes the Shadow of Avalon to mutate, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses.
For sewers with complex terrain, the exploration distance of four hundred meters is beyond the range of most detections and is sufficient.
Soon, Ye Qingxuan discovered several trigger traps.
His spirits lifted and he was almost there.
I am afraid that the group of people in the House did not expect that someone would follow them into the Shadow of Avalon. Most of the traps laid are very simple, and the alarm will be triggered when the monster passes by.
But for musicians, it is not difficult to dismantle.
Especially for a guy like Ye Qingxuan, who comes from a background in interpretation and is incredibly proficient in music theory, it would be no problem to dismantle this kind of thing.
Out of caution, he repeatedly checked to confirm that these were not chain traps and did not hide anything weird, and then he tiptoed around them.
Who knows what the hell will be triggered after dismantling it, so be cautious.
Soon, Bolero's thoughts came to him.
Someone is guarding the front.
Live.
