Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1146
no respond.

The huge magic power is like an overdose of anesthetic, disturbing the mind of the origin of the magic power.Here, they can't maintain the ability to think in this world at all, they can only seize a moment in this chaotic dream.

Lu Ning couldn't judge the real history, just as she didn't know whether it would be beneficial or harmful for the world to let the magic power return to the world.

She can feel that she is not bound by this place, but it will take a little time to really find the way back, maybe as long as the connection with the real world is re-established, and the magic power here can easily accomplish this, as long as someone uses it Magic she can observe.

As far as Lu Ning knows, there are many people on Yamu Island who are secretly using magic.

After a little identification of the magic power in the air, Lu Ning walked towards a magic power column that spewed into the sky.In her current state, she was walking very fast on this huge corpse, perhaps because she was no longer in a physical state. After only two or three minutes of somatosensory time, she had already arrived under the pillar of magic power gushing.

There is no origin of magic crouching here, but some apostles are squatting there digging the ground.On the gravel-like barren beach, there is a depression like a crater, but the area is not very large, and the magic pillar is ejected from here.

Lu Ning stood on the edge and looked into the pit. Amidst the suffocating magic power, there was a huge object embedded in the center, as if it was this thing that made such a big hole.

Relying on the fact that she is currently in a subtle isolation state from the magic power, Lu Ning walked down the pit carefully, but soon she found that she didn't need to be careful, because whether she walked on a flat surface or an inclined surface, she walked on the ground as if walking on the ground.

After approaching the center, she finally saw the real appearance of the object in the center of the dense magic power. It was the tip of the arrow enlarged to a length of about two meters. Obviously, there should have been an arrow shaft here, but Soaked in magic, it seems to have been eroded away.

So... here is the wound?

Lu Ning raised her head and looked into the distance. There were many magic pillars like this. There were more than a dozen of them within the range of her eyesight, and there were probably more in places farther away.Compared with this huge corpse, these seemingly huge magic pillars are probably not as good as a human hair. Lu Ning still doesn't know how big this "magic" corpse is.

When she came out of the pit, she suddenly heard a hoarse roar.

A few apostles wrapped in rags were standing around. Their eye sockets had long been corroded by magic power, leaving only burning flames. The rags on their bodies were not clothes, but alienated skin.They are not severely distorted by magic power like the origin of magic, and they still maintain a humanoid shape, but that's all.

"Are you... talking to me?" Lu Ning pointed to herself.

An apostle made a rustling sound and nodded slightly.It raised its hand and drew a trace in the air with its withered and yellow fingers.But that didn't form any words that could form meaning, even if it was, Lu Ning certainly didn't understand the words of the previous era.

The apostle was obviously aware of this, and lowered his head, as if a little annoyed, but the apostles next to him came over and looked at each other, as if the communication had been completed in an instant.Immediately afterwards, they turned to the same direction neatly, and then stretched out their arms straight, pointing into the distance.

"Which direction do you want me to go?" Lu Ning looked in the direction of their fingers, but naturally saw nothing, it must be not far away.

The apostles did not reply, but kept standing and pointing away, waiting for a response.

Lu Ning nodded and took a step forward.

She could feel that she might not be able to stay here for too long. She established a connection with this place by accidentally peeping into the body of "Yuburani Temple Sora". Even those who arrived here were not flesh and blood. Occasionally, her connection with this place is not stable, and even the magic power here can only float on her body surface.

At a strange speed, Lu Ning could see the ground receding rapidly under her feet, and there were some plants growing on this huge corpse, but thinking of the deep prison flower ants she had seen before, she felt that it would be impossible for anything to grow here. is normal.

Such a flyby took a longer time than before, and Lu Ning even doubted whether she could see what the apostles instructed before going back.And at this moment, a halo appeared in front of his eyes.

In this dark space, apart from being able to observe things with the help of magic power, there is almost no light, so this halo is quite conspicuous.

What is shining is a tree that looks like a stone. Its branches are formed into a ball at the top of the tree. The top leaves of the branches are completely dead, and all of them are in the state of stone. There are still young leaves on the branches.

This was the first normal thing Lu Ning saw in this ghost place.

The roots of the stone tree penetrated deeply into the ground, and there were also pillars of magic energy spewing upwards around it, but the pressure brought to Lu Ning here was far less than other spewing points.She moved closer to the tree and saw a shrouded thing wrapped between the bulbous branches.

Hachimejima.

A miniature Hachimejima is wrapped in the middle of the branches.It's just that the island is already full of ruins. Both the main hall and the annex have collapsed. Only some plants on the island are still dense, and there has been no large-scale corrosion or direct death.

This is not the magical scene created by Lista that can be endlessly looped, but an island that really existed in history and was used by Reynix to hold ceremonies.And now, Raynix has been in a wonderful state of being recalled, so the tree also presents the present appearance of a combination of prosperity and withering.

"Why did those apostles ask me to come here?" Lu Ning muttered to herself, she could see the island, and knew that this tree probably represented the anchor point of Renix in this world, but knowing these What can be done?Except for the abilities given by the distribution center, she doesn't have the abilities of a real god.She can't save anyone.

Suddenly, she saw a few humanoid things looking down between the dead branches and leaves on the tree.

"There is someone..."

The creature above grunted, and then flowed down from between the branches and leaves. The sticky and oily thing formed a rough human shape under the tree, and a crack opened at what was probably the mouth.

"Why do you still maintain this appearance? Your skin should have rotted long ago, your flesh and blood have been reshaped by magic, and your life form... Ah, there is a familiar smell on your body."

It lay down on its stomach, and several bubbles burst from its oily body.

"Who are you?" Lu Ning tried to ask.

"We are the guards here, although there is no need here... The root system of the origin of magic power is extremely strong, unless another origin of magic power attacks, there will be no damage. The origin we serve has left, but he will soon Come back, soon...he couldn't get rid of it, and although he tried, he couldn't keep his form. The magic...it makes us suffer as much as it makes us go beyond."

"Do you remember what you used to look like?" Lu Ning asked.

"I used to have the same 'face' as yours." The oily body swelled a bit, forming a face directly near the abdomen, "But I don't know you, and you don't know me. We are here For a long time, we have been waiting for a... final flush. We will usher in the withering of historical life, and then be reborn from the magic power. This place retains the most essential magic power, too much, you see... this dose, As long as a piece of territory is converted into magic power and thrown into the world, people will immediately soak in the huge magic power and be transformed by the magic power..."

"How do you know this?"

"Connection, history, memory, we're already creatures on this side."

When Lu Ning was asking questions, she was also looking at that face. She really didn't know this face, but she had a strange feeling, as if she should know this face.And she didn't think this feeling was an illusion. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Renix...you met him."

"He walked in the world, using this name. Did he deceive me? However, for me now, it doesn't matter whether he deceived or not. I finally failed to leave alive. I shouldn't have stepped too deep. We are reserved After being here, reshaped into what I am now through the extraction of rhizomes, and I can still speak... Maybe after a while, our language—"

pat, pat.

Other things fell from the trees, some like dust, some like pure liquid.None of them managed to maintain their human form, except for one that fell from above at the end with a lot of confetti, delicate brushstrokes leaving a face on a piece of cardboard.

That was the butler Escher.

"Degeneration will take shape as this place withers completely. Before that, we can still retain consciousness for a while. This...intruder, why did you come here? Why can you resist the magic here? Are you not here? existence?" Escher asked.

"I'm really not, and it seems that all the people who were on Bachimeshima Island are here." Lu Ning looked around, "Raynix turned you all into apostles... oh, not everyone .”

"Only us." Escher said, "The owner has been away for a long time. He felt the call and thought it was an opportunity. After he left, the progress of the assimilation of magic power here has indeed slowed down, but this is not enough. We only maintain some ability to communicate during the germination period, and more time sleep and search for more residues accumulate here. This behavior is not controlled, you are lucky, now is the time of germination."

"I……"

Just as Lu Ning wanted to answer, she felt that a spell was attracting the magic power nearby, and her body had already begun to respond.

"Whatever you want, just say it." Lu Ning looked at Escher.

"The end, as long as it's the end, anything is fine." Escher smiled at Lu Ning with the drawn face, and then Lu Ning felt a huge pulling force. She had already been called by magic. The magic power spiraled upwards, heading straight into the sky.

A ray of light shone out from the darkness, and then the surrounding scenery returned to the scenery in the room. She didn't know when she was lying on her bed, and the room was already dark. The lights were not turned on, and the sky was already dark , The sound of rain hitting the window made the sound more drowsy.

She felt a little tired, but she still managed to get up.

The time now is just at the beginning of the family banquet. At this time, Escher and the servants will temporarily block the banquet hall of the family banquet, but she already knows the content of the family banquet, and she and Tsuburani Temple Sora are not there. Then there will be two fewer people present.

Lu Ning poured herself a glass of water. She could still understand what Escher and the others said on the magic corpse, but understanding did not mean that she had no doubts.The tree that encloses Hachimejima is in a strange state, but can what Escher and the others say really be believed?Why did the guiding apostles lead her there?

The increase in mysteries didn't bother her particularly, because Lu Ning wasn't too interested in analyzing the worldview behind it.

She rubbed her temples and walked out of the room.After such a long time, no one noticed that something was wrong with her, that is, her body went back to rest by itself, which is very similar to the state where she let the character act by herself when she was out of control.

After a short rest, she went out.

Lu Ning was very familiar with the route to the servant's room, and didn't even meet anyone along the way.The servants would bring all their personal belongings to this place. Although Lu Ning and the others checked after the servants died, they didn't find too many personal belongings worth seeing.

What Reynix said to his children at the family banquet was not a lie. After Lu Ning knew the stories behind many people, there were fewer and fewer candidates who fit Reynix's description. It's different, even if she plays this role, she may not be able to know everything, she thinks she should go and see what the servants' room looks like in the normal living conditions of the servants.

But when she walked into the room, she saw a servant sitting on the outer seat.The servant lowered her head slightly, as if she was resting, and the collar of her uniform belonging to the Howard family was embroidered with a pattern of a musk deer.

Lu Ning's body froze slightly, she never expected such a thing to happen.

Musk never appeared on the island from the beginning to the end. Under all known backgrounds, she died before the scene opened. Except for the fact that Watanabe Yuanko borrowed this name when pretending to be a ghost, she should not have It happened again.

should……

The servant had already raised her head, but Lu Ning felt that she couldn't form a specific perception of her appearance. Even though all the five sense organs were there, she couldn't form an impression in her heart at all.

Her heart beat violently, and she felt that the blood in her body was emitting an abnormally high temperature.
