Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 590: Entering the core copy of East Street, sniping at the middle gate!
"I'll go in and explore the way first."

At this moment, Chen Ye came to the vermilion tower, in front of the gate of the spacious mansion courtyard.

A grayish-white mist enveloped the area.

but……

This mist does not have the characteristics of [space system] in it, which means that it will not send Chen Ye to other coordinate locations.

There will also not be the situation as before where there is a small copy within a copy.

Chen Ye concentrated his mind, constantly opening his Eye of Luck and looking around to see if there was any potential danger.

"This gray fog is indeed very similar to the fog I feel when I play the suona."

When Chen Ye approached the courtyard gate of the vermilion tower, he could feel more clearly the composition of the fog.

However, although the ingredients are indeed the same, the quality is very different.

It is clear……

Compared with the gray fog that was created by Chen Ye's suona playing, the gray fog on the vermilion tower was more like a fake that was created by taking a portion of it and then using some means.

As for why such a gray fog was placed near this vermilion tower...

“It’s to block the influence of Mazu.”

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly and he quickly made a judgment.

He could clearly feel...

This gray fog actually separates the existence of the Vermilion Tower from East Street by a dimension.

There is no way for the outside world to easily access the Vermilion Tower.

after all.

If you want to enter the interior of the gray fog, you must have the key to the spiritual world to do this.

However, everything that exists within East Street is related to the sequence of Mazu.

East Street is so prosperous in material terms that it is not difficult to imagine that most of the existence here is related to worldly material things.

Correspondingly...

There are far fewer beings related to the spiritual world.

Therefore, as long as such a gray fog is set up, Mazu can be forced to take action.

But Mazu cannot act so casually. If she has to send out her real self just for a problem like this, then East Street will actually be in a more dangerous situation.

However, no other existence within East Street has such powerful means to affect the Vermilion Tower.

and……

The existence of Mazu is even more special in East Street. It seems to be more like a belief that can gather the power of will, but it will not easily issue imperative requirements to the sequence of subordinates.

"This may be the way Mazu exists, which is quite special..."

"Of course, even the [Authority] at the top of the sequence will not communicate with me casually."

"If there is any mission, it will probably be handed over to a follower or something like that, and then they will take care of it."

"However……"

"The followers of other powers all have their own tasks and will be given special attention by other sequences. It is very likely that these followers will be caught up in some dangerous things and will find it difficult to spare the attention to deal with these things..."

"After all, each Sequence wants to find a suitable follower, and it is unlikely to make the other party act completely according to one's own consciousness."

"The relationship between authority and followers is more like that of an alliance, rather than a leader giving orders to his followers."

"Because to be able to reach the level of a Favored One is already a very high status. Since the status is so high, it is definitely impossible for them to be willing to give up the value of their own existence so easily to other beings."

"So, the relationship between the followers and the authority is more like a cooperative one, standing on the same line of interests..."

"and……"

"Some followers have bad intentions and might even betray the authority corresponding to the top of the sequence!"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. This setting was not something new.

Even in the old version, such settings appear very frequently.

The uniqueness of the sequence vertices is so attractive.

Even if it is a follower, if it can absorb this [uniqueness], then it will have the opportunity to replace the [authority] itself and become a new [authority]!
Let me ask you, in this situation, even if the followers appear to be obedient to the top of the sequence, they may not think so in their hearts.

Once there is an opportunity, there will definitely be a chance to seize this [uniqueness].

therefore.

Even if it is [authority], one will not trust his followers that much, but will make an exchange of interests.

Obviously, if you want the other party to do something for you, you must give them enough benefits.

Only with sufficient exchange of benefits can you get your followers to help you.

But if [authority] is in danger...

The followers may even feel particularly happy!
Because, when the [authority] of a sequence encounters an unexpected event, the followers will have the opportunity to obtain this [uniqueness].

Even if [Authority] gives enough benefits...

But what benefits can compare to uniqueness?
Authority will never pay for [uniqueness] in exchange for followers.

In this case, there is a very high chance that the followers will ignore the demands of the Authority, and instead intensify its rebellious intentions, thus harming the Authority.

Therefore, [Authority] must never casually reveal any abnormality to its followers.

If this happens...

Then.

It is very dangerous for authority itself.

This is somewhat similar to the relationship between ancient emperors and their confidants.

Once the emperor is in danger of collapse or critical illness, these ministers will begin to plan their escape route, and may even launch a rebellion or directly start a civil war to seize power.

This is also why [Mazu] cannot completely trust [Followers] and instead uses the exchange of interests to get outsiders to reach a cooperation agreement with her.

After all, if it is an outsider like Chen Ye, he is not in the same sequence as Mazu. Even if he obtains this [uniqueness], he cannot absorb it. If he carries it on his body, it may become a disaster.

And... with Chen Ye's status, even if he knew that something was wrong with [Mazu], he could not reach the level of a follower and could not pose a threat to [Mazu].

In this situation, instead of asking the [Followers] to take action, it is better to exchange interests with powerful outsiders like Chen Ye to solve their own problems.

"So... Mazu took the initiative to show goodwill and proposed some cooperation with me at that time?"

Chen Ye recalled the scene that happened when he signed the land deed in front of the temple...

I have gradually begun to have some idea about this matter.

"It seems..."

"I'm afraid there were many deep reasons why Mazu chose to cooperate with me at that time."

"East Street may still look prosperous on the surface, but in reality it is just a façade with rotten inside."

"But Mazu dare not show any sign of inappropriateness." "Once the top predator in the deep sea shows signs of weakness..."

"That will attract many hungry sharks!"

Under normal circumstances, sharks cannot threaten whales because of the size difference between the two.

But if it is a weak whale without sufficient ability to fight back, the situation will be different!

A bloodthirsty shark, when it learns that such a large piece of delicious meat cannot pose a threat to itself, will reveal its blood-drinking fangs!
Even sharks that seem to be respectful to whales on normal days will reveal their true colors when the opportunity arises!

and so.

The situation on East Street seems to be even more serious than he had imagined.

In fact, when he first entered East Street, Chen Ye had already discovered many hidden problems through the Eye of Destiny.

But these problems are hidden very obscurely and are not put on the table.

This makes East Street look like a place where everyone is having fun.

It seems that it is the same as my guess!

However, although Chen Ye had some feelings at that time, the areas involved were not so deep.

It's just that we discovered that there were hidden problems.

But as a player, Chen Ye had been conquering dungeons along the way, so he would instinctively think that it was a very normal thing that there were some valuable and worth conquering dungeons in these special areas.

However, after coming into contact with the deeper truth, Chen Ye discovered that all of this was very similar to the vortex he encountered.

even……

They are almost involved in the battle of sequence authority!
This made him feel terrified when he thought about it carefully!
after all.

That was a battle between "authorities" and the status of the people involved was so high that it was unimaginable!
When he discovered these things, he had just returned from the sea of ​​the spiritual world and had completely obtained the fifth-level status, which gave him the ability to conquer these copies.

And thus learned more in-depth information!
“Isn’t this a bit too much of a coincidence?”

Chen Ye stroked his chin. He had just entered the fifth level, but he had already touched the door to this level of [Hidden] in an instant.

It looks like...

This is also because after one's own status has reached a certain level, things that were previously incomprehensible can now be understood.

However, what Chen Ye was more worried about was whether there was a shadow of fate behind this coincidence.

"If it really is a coincidence..."

"Then everything has been a coincidence since I drew my first exclusive talent."

"Since the factor of fate is involved from the beginning, let's just let it take its course and deal with it as the time comes."

Chen Ye recalled the first time he drew his exclusive talent. If he had not drawn the Eye of Luck, which allowed him to see the direction of luck, his actions would have been very different.

To a certain extent, extracting exclusive talents is a mechanism that only exists independently in this major version of [City of Destiny].

If it were the old version, there would be no exclusive talents. It was a wild era, and each player relied on his own abilities to open up the land.

Therefore, if there was any pull of destiny, it would have happened at the beginning.

There's no point in thinking about all this mess now.

Think of this.

Chen Ye's eyes regained clarity, and he walked through the vermilion tower door and entered the dungeon.

Accompanied by the illusory gray mist ripples around him, his figure was completely covered.

However, it was not what I expected, it seemed like I had entered some spiritual realm...

When I arrived, I naturally entered the courtyard outside the vermilion tower.

at this time.

It can be seen that this courtyard is truly magnificent.

The fake mountains and water alone give it a royal feel.

Chen Ye's gaze was on the first floor of the tower.

On the first floor of the tower, there are several ancient Buddha statues.

The ancient Buddha has a solemn appearance and his face exudes a majestic aura.

however.

When Chen Ye arrived here, the ancient Buddha suddenly began to move.

The shadow behind him, like a ghost, transformed into a layer of water curtain in the Buddhist temple, and then came towards Chen Ye in an overwhelming manner.

"Mindscape Illusion?"

Chen Ye could see that everything created by the Buddha statue was just an illusion.

With his spirituality, he sensed that these water curtains were not materialized energies, but rather a combination of spiritualities that could be used to influence the minds of other beings.

However, if other beings really believed in the influence of this Buddha statue, and were killed by this attack...

Then.

The spirit will actually die.

"I didn't expect there was an ancient Buddha statue here..."

Chen Ye frowned slightly. He could sense that the attack of this ancient Buddha could have an impact on his spirituality, which showed that this guy was of high status.

However, the Buddha statue is not a self-aware being, but is simply placed here as a taboo object.

The reason why this taboo object is placed in this place is to defend against foreign enemies.

As long as there is any external existence that invades this place, it must pass this level first.

If an ordinary player heard the ancient Buddha's chanting, he would probably explode the first time.

Although the status of the ancient Buddha is not to the extent that he would explode at the mere sight of him...

However, the sound of chanting scriptures alone is enough to make ordinary players fall into a chaotic and confusing illusion, lose themselves, and it is almost impossible to get out.

Even though they knew it was an illusion, due to the high level of their status, in reality only one or two seconds had passed. However, these ordinary players who were trapped in the illusion had spent a thousand years or even millions of years in it...

After such a long time, even a player with a strong mind would probably get lost.

after all.

Not many players can endure this level of torture over the years. As long as they cannot rely on external forces to break the illusion in their minds and cannot get out of it, getting lost is almost inevitable. It is only a matter of time before they are worn down and lose their self-awareness.

But for Chen Ye, the most he felt was that his ears were not at peace and his head was a little itchy, as if he was going to grow a second brain.

Otherwise it is very healthy.

at this time.

Chen Ye took out his suona and started playing it, engaging in a sniping match with the Buddha statue through the middle gate.
