The artist's body stiffened slightly, and the little remaining information of the obliterated "chaos" seemed to tell him a very terrifying fact.
A chilling possibility.
No one knows why the artist showed a slight expression of fear, even scientists are a little puzzled.
Although Ji Ying's appearance is not included in the scientists' "omniscience", her strength can be seen at a glance.
He is just a high-level awakener on the "Judgment" path. Since he is not on the weird side, there is not much possibility for him to control "power".
Even if we can take out sacrificial instruments that borrow power, how much power can compete with the existence of "taboo"
The functions of powers are different. Those within the first 150 in the sequence, that is, "high-risk weirdness" can possess powers, but there is obviously a considerable gap between them and taboos.
Scientists are now in a state of borrowing "forbidden" power. Even if they will have to bear a heavy price after it ends, that is not something they should consider now.
Just as the scientist once again cast his "omniscience" over Ji Ying in an attempt to find her flaws, he discovered an extremely shocking fact.
It's not that there are no flaws, but that there are flaws everywhere.
The other party was completely unprepared, and it seemed that he could easily take her life with just a casual move.
But is this really the case
She separated the golden carriage with ease, and directed Li Shaoheng to perform actions beyond her "omniscience". All this showed that this woman was definitely not an ordinary upper-level awakener.
In other words...
Just like her, he "borrowed" the existence of power.
Only this reason can explain why "Ji Ying" can avoid incomplete "omniscience".
But... if you are not an awakened person on the weird side, can you also borrow power in this way
The reason why Li Shaoheng did not play more cards even when the situation reached such an extreme point was because they simply did not have the same conditions as the "pioneers", and it was even more impossible for them to borrow power from the weirdness like them.
At this moment, the artist acted decisively, stretched out his fingers and pressed his forehead, and several pieces of "art" shattered. His body instantly grew a lot at this moment.
He transformed from a dwarf of just over 1.4 meters into a tall man of 1.8 meters.
The elegant temperament has not changed much, but it has gained a bit of madness out of nowhere.
"—Power "eternal life."
The artist directly uses his trump card, and a constant flow of vitality emerges.
The next moment, he took out the sacrificial vessel that he had used to deal with Luo Ling, the "Withered Flower", and pointed it at everyone - to be more precise, Ji Ying.
The artist knew very well that if his guess was true...
The woman before him was both a "shadow sacrifice" and not a "shadow sacrifice". She had to be killed with the most brutal means.
Otherwise, there will be... unprecedented death threats.
Under the control of "eternal life", the artist can use the "Withered Flower" without limit at any extra cost, and any injuries he suffers will be healed in an instant, making him truly immortal.
Perhaps it was due to years of cooperation, but after the artist entered combat mode, the scientist finally calmed down and began to accept the fact that his "omniscience" was not omniscience.
Even if the information related to "power" cannot be predicted, it is still a power granted by "taboo". As long as it is not over-reliant, it can still exert unimaginable power.
The center of the battlefield is no longer the struggle between "Company" and "Pioneer", but the mysterious woman "Ji Ying" is in the vortex.
... Or, "Puppet Ballad".
Ji Ying suddenly laughed.
No, that's not a laugh.
The mouth is cracked.
White mycelium leaped out from her cracked flesh and blood, spreading throughout the entire carriage. The heavy withering weight fell on her body, but it could only rot her constantly "growing" flesh.
Seeing this scene, the first person to collapse was An Yu, who had personally experienced the Baiyan Village incident. She fainted the moment she saw Ji Ying's skin and flesh torn apart. The shadow of the past once again enveloped her, causing her to lose consciousness.
Li Shaoheng and Cen Xiangyun next to them were equally terrified. As people who had solved strange cases before, they were very sure that this Ms. Ji Ying was indeed strange and there was no possibility of her being an exception.
The most terrifying rule of strange events, please be careful of the strangeness that is the same as humans, this is the most dangerous existence.
"At least as dangerous and weird, or even... scarier!"
Fortunately, Ji Ying seemed to have no ill will towards them. Before the white mycelium spread, they had already taken the unconscious An Yu and hid near the bathroom, where the white mycelium would not be affected.
This is a battlefield belonging to the monsters, and weak humans can only tremble in fear.
Although Li Shaoheng is qualified to participate in this battle, he must take into account the unconscious newcomer and his niece who has little combat experience.
A restrained yet frantic battle took place in the golden train hovering in the "realm of nothingness", accompanied by terrible howling and ghost-like screams.
"Oh, and Miss Luo Ling... maybe she's not dead yet."
Li Shaoheng withdrew his gaze from the indescribable battlefield, picked up the phone with his slightly sweaty hands, and slid to a newly added number in the address book.
The artist and the scientist just communicated over the phone, which means that their location is the same as the interior of this train, both in the surface world, and they can talk directly without being restricted by "boundaries".
If Miss Luo Ling was still alive, or if her sister was still alive... she would probably answer the phone, right
With the last glimmer of hope, Li Shaoheng made the call.
“Beep...beep...”
... ...
“Beep...beep...”
The old cell phone that fell to the ground was vibrating slightly, and it was extremely clear in the silent carriage, repeating itself irritably.
"It's so noisy..."
A lazy and soft voice sounded, and slender hands waved casually, and the old phone was shattered in an instant.
An enchanting woman with purple curly hair slowly stood up by holding on to the wall of the carriage, rubbing her sleepy eyes while looking for something in the carriage.
My mind is always dizzy, it seems that I have forgotten something important...
My throat feels sore, as if I just ate something terrible...
Finally, she saw the unfinished hot tea on the table, dragged her steps over and drank it all, which slightly relieved the dryness in her throat.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, the enchanting woman finally came to her senses, and memories kept popping out of her dizzy head.
Who am I? So many names are popping up in my mind...
Oh yes, Luo Ling...
Yes, I am Luo Ling.
etc!
Luo Ling, who had recovered from his shock, shook his head. He inadvertently glanced at the purple figure reflected in the car window and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
"This is... me?"
Just like the "White Witch", although one can vaguely see Luo Ling's original appearance from the outline of her face, the two cannot be linked together at all because their temperaments are completely different.
The slightly upturned corners of her eyes gave her a hint of evil, and her long lavender hair fell from her temples, only slightly curled at the ends.
The most eye-catching thing is a pair of pitch-black eyes. Only if you look closely can you see a dot-shaped pupil in the middle of the eyes.
Although Luo Ling knew that her usual carefree appearance did not look like a lady at all, her current appearance exuded an inexplicable charm no matter what she did.
More memories came flooding back, as if being injected into this new body, and it seemed to be similar to when she first transformed into the "White Witch".
Luo Ling remembered everything.
besides...
"elder sister!"
Luo Ling turned her head suddenly, and there was no trace of her sister in the carriage. Only Elsa, who was unconscious in the corner.
Elsa's wheelchair was left aside, and she herself collapsed on the ground, trying to stretch out her hands as if to grab something.
There seemed to be no sign of my sister in the room, as if she had disappeared.
...Did the scientists take her away
But why did Elsa stay
Luo Ling couldn't think about this anymore. She had to find her sister as soon as possible. In this dangerous place...
At this moment, Luo Ling saw the fragments of the old phone on the ground, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.
This is my sister's cell phone.
Why did I suddenly feel so irritable when I woke up and even smashed my sister's phone
This is the end of me, this is the only clue left by my sister.
It would be great if my puppet rumor ability could repair a cell phone like repairing a human body...
Just as Luo Ling was thinking this, invisible spider webs began to spread around him, and soon the entire "Spirit World Traveler" was completely covered by the spider webs.
At the same time, Luo Ling discovered that he seemed to have an extra sense, which was somewhat similar to the feeling of spores, but more wonderful.
The structure of the "Spirit Walker", Elsa's condition, what happened to the suddenly quiet little Bella... All the information came to Luo Ling's mind.
She "knows" everything within the spider web.
The most important thing is... Luo Ling instantly realized how to repair this broken old phone.
"Is this the ability of Naraku?"
Luo Ling lowered his head and looked at his fingers and the invisible spider webs on them.
Perhaps it was because the spider leg pierced the heart and was "swallowed" by the power, or maybe it was because of something else, but at this moment Luo Ling did possess the power of the eighth place in the weird sequence, the "forbidden" "Naraku".
Unexpectedly, "devouring" can even turn "taboos" into her own use. What kind of existence is this "power" that belongs only to her, and what path is it...
After a moment of silence, Luo Ling controlled the invisible spider web according to his own "knowledge", collected all the fragments, and connected the components inside one by one in a strange way.
In the end, the old man's phone, which had become entangled with the spider thread and turned into a big mess, actually lit up again.
“Beep...beep...”
On the pale green display, a name kept flashing.
"Li Shaoheng."
She stretched out her slender, white fingers and pressed the answer button.
"Ms. Su Wan? Can you hear me?"
Li Shaoheng's anxious voice immediately came from the phone, and he seemed relieved.
Maybe I'm glad that this call can still be connected...
Luo Ling hesitated for a while and didn't say anything.
It seemed that Li Shaoheng also didn't know the whereabouts of his sister. For a moment, Luo Ling didn't know what to say.
However, she didn't have to wait too long. Even though there was no response, Li Shaoheng continued to speak.
"Listen, the situation now..."
He quickly and simply recounted everything that happened on the train, starting from the exchange between Luo Ling and the artist, to the appearance of Ji Ying later, and the strange battle that was still going on.
Luo Ling heard an important message from it, and her expression became a little complicated.
"Puppet rumor..."
Ki Hotaru who calls herself "Kumeya Ya".
Maybe she knew why...
This is a fact that Luo Ling has never been sure of.
Until now, it has been completely revealed by Yuki Hotaru herself.
Today, Ji Ying is the "egg" of the Puppet Song.
But unlike other "eggs", she resists the control of the puppet song with her own will and looks for an opportunity to kill the puppet song.
Therefore, the Ji Ying that Luo Ling knew was really Ji Ying, not the one disguised by Puppet Yao using her memory.
"She wanted to kill Puppet Utai this way, but... she failed."
Luo Ling slowly closed her eyes. In the "Naraku" state, all her thinking abilities were greatly enhanced. Combined with the previous clues, she had figured out the truth of the matter.
