Edge of Pure Land Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Ghost 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 has been extensively burned recently, 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 covered with a bandage, leaving only one eye exposed.

The eyes are 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 are not like the other two who suffered extensive facial burns..."

 He paused: "I haven't seen you in the past few years. 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 The problem is that the Miss Chen in my memory is perverse and withdrawn, with an arrogant and paranoid personality.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 this so-called Miss Chen Jing, her underwear was even tricked out.

Humbling sound.

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

 The teacups on the table were shaking slightly.

“You three impostors, please stop acting.”

Lehmann 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 it. Across a busy commercial street, there was always someone on the building across the street observing their every move with a sniper rifle scope.

Qiangwei quickly withdrew her sniper rifle and translated the conversation just now using the information obtained 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, and Chen Jing, whether directly or indirectly, they are all people related to the first Operation Holy Mountain sixteen years ago. Why is it such a coincidence?”

 He said softly.

 The Holy Mountain has been his lifelong nightmare.

 Humans have explored holy mountains many times.

 But only the first and sixth times were serious accidents.

 Something seems to connect 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 question of whether there are people or hostages now.”

　　The 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.

Over the head is a red signboard, Human Body Modification Zone.

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 **** things…”

Yuan Qing's energy was as smooth as a gossamer, as if she was afraid of waking up the 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.

 “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.

There are also people who have a lighter degree of decay and are labeled as semi-finished products.

 In the middle of the corridor is a huge altar.

Not only that, there are also ancient stone statues and huge clay tablets placed here, like exhibits enshrined in a museum. Surrounded by sacrificial utensils, there are crowns woven from tree roots, and inlaid crystals. There are skulls, the remains of giant pythons, and ancient copper bells.

“Everything from the underground ruins has been moved here.”

Lu Fuji turned and looked at the ancient stone statue: "No wonder there were not many valuable things left except the laboratory that had been moved away."

That is the image of a fallen angel.

There is a scarlet inverted cross on his forehead, and he wears a terrifying skull mask. His eyes seem to reflect hellish scarlet, and his whole body is covered with hardened hard armor, filled with burning scarlet lines, and thorns gather together. The wings are spread out, dripping with darkness.

With uncanny carving skills, this fallen angel seems to be burning in the darkness.

“Sister, do you think He looks like the ghost of decay and the ghost of thorns?”

Lu Fuji couldn't help but say.

  “It's a bit like it.”

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

Shika Fuji was stunned: "Aragami?"

 “Well, second only to the evolved form below the gods.”

At this time, Yuan Qing showed her heritage as a member of the Yuan family and explained: "Look at the hardened armor on his body and the thorns growing on his back. These are the characteristics of the rotten ghost and the thorn ghost. Whenever he evolves At a certain stage, he will gain a new ability."

“Sister, you can actually remember this.”

Lu Buer said in admiration.

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

Yuan Qing pouted: "It's too hypnotic to take that kind of class."

Lu Fuji wiped his face hard, but he still couldn't believe this woman.

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

 One day, I might be able to evolve like this.

Yuan Qing stared at the huge clay tablet under the stone statue carefully. There was no doubt that these were texts from the Ministry of the Past. She bit her finger and looked at it for a long time, as if she understood something.

 “Can you understand?”

 Lu Fuji was shocked.

 This should be the clay tablet document that was taken away from the Purana.

 He couldn't understand a word.

If Yuan Qing can understand, the sun is really rising in the west.

"Last time I lost someone in the snowfield, I went back to make up for it." Yuan Qing raised her chin proudly: "I understand this time!"

 She had a show-off expression on her face.

 As if to say: "Praise me quickly! Praise me quickly!"

 “Sister, please speak.”

"This clay tablet seems to be talking about the principles of the White Walkers. The real White Walkers are determined based on the physique and soul of each evolver. After they swallow the dark matter, if they adapt to themselves, something in the body will Each organ will undergo a certain degree of mutation. The ability produced by the mutation is related to the evolutionary chain to which the dark matter belongs, but it will not perfectly replicate the abilities of the White Walkers."

 “Hmm...didn't understand.”

 Lu Fuji shook his head.

Xuelian had some science knowledge with him at that time, but the talk was very general.

 “Well, let me think about it.”

Yuan Qing had little knowledge of the existence of the White Walkers before, but only now did she understand: "To put it simply, take the evolutionary chain of the Creation Brood as an example. The mutated organ is the skin. When you fuse the darkness of this sequence, Your skin will mutate after you change your numerology. Considering that your numerology is the attribute of thunder, your skin may also undergo changes in the attribute of thunder.”

"I see."

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

 “When am I not smart?”

Yuan Qing frowned and said modestly: "If I hadn't secretly observed Longque performing the White Walker technique a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out. What he swallowed was the White Walker in the evolutionary chain of the Dragon of Candlelight. Then his spine mutated and he was able to transform into a dragon!"

Lu Fuji felt something in his heart. This was indeed different from his own abilities.

 Because he can most likely swallow up an entire evolutionary chain.

 In short, his own ability is to be able to devour the White Walkers.

 Thus becoming a White Walker and mastering their abilities.

 The alien magic is more like a combination of dark matter and numerology.

 Let your own numerology change.

"For example, in the case of the hardening of the dead ghosts, if the evolvers of the tree genus gain the ability to harden, they will become hard wood! But most people will not fuse such low-level white ghosts. Ichijo Evolution Of course, the top of the chain of abilities comes from the gods. Suppose there is a **** whose authority is omniscient and omnipotent. Your fusion of the eighth-stage form may give you the omnipotent ability, and the seventh-stage can gain the omnipotent ability, and so on. By analogy, the ability becomes weaker and weaker. If you go to the first stage of fusion, you may gain at most one perception ability.”

The bright light danced in Yuan Qing's beautiful eyes, as if she was eager to try: "It is best to combine the ghost magic with numerology. For example, my fire attribute is not suitable for this kind of hard ability. I should also look for the Dragon of Candlelight. Only an evolutionary chain of White Walkers can greatly enhance my combat effectiveness."

  Lu Fuji understands.

  In other words, ghost magic is useful to him.

 Because of his dark quality, it currently cannot affect numerology.

“Sister, I see that you are 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 Walkers?”

 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."

Hara Qing muttered: "On the contrary, the soul blade system pioneered by Lord Metanzo has now become the mainstream. But unfortunately, Lord Metanzo failed to become a sacred monarch."

 “Medanzo?”

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

 He also had a rough impression of the Soul Blade.

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

I have to say that 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 sane. But that guy's life can be considered completely ruined, right?"

 Mom, please don't suppress me one day.

Lu Fuji complained in his mind, and asked curiously: "What happened to Long Que? 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 into silence.

 Can't you 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 ghost or the thorn ghost. , 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 a defective product or a semi-finished product?"

 This is obviously somewhat similar to my own ability.

Rather than White Walkers.

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

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

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

Yuan Qing raised her head and looked above her head.

There are a few empty petri dishes there.

 “Little deer, look.”

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

  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-character.

 The words "finished product" and "high-end finished product" are 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, with bloodthirsty murderous intent showing in their pupils.

 It's like the demons are waking up 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 that had been obscured by divine magic was about to move, converging on his right shoulder blade.

“I've also discovered that it's a bit awkward to play in double row 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 of the hand, it was moistened by blood and suddenly trembled and swelled.
