Chapter 34 Boundary Line

In Seure's opinion, the direction of the border line is very troublesome. It is not a straight line running through the city, but a parabola, which increases the scope of exploration several times.However, fortunately, the city area is not too large, and even if it takes up to eight floors to be searched, it is still within an acceptable range.

"You can see it clearly. This is our route." Looking at the messed up line drawing in his hand, Shuer sighed and simply drew another one. "Search along this direction, here, here, this Eleven points, each needs to stay for 5 minutes, giving Saff enough time to survey. Macajerun, time now."

"03:30 p.m."

"Under special circumstances, today's break will be postponed to at least complete the search of the first layer of the border. Note that there is no need to be overly alert now, just maintain the most basic alert state."

"The enemy's attack itself is not enough to cause serious damage. What we are afraid of is just being parasitized. But from the suicide guards outside, we can see that even if we are parasitized, there will be a buffer for a period of time, which is enough for us to escape. Besides, we may not be able to escape now. already……"

Xiure shook his head and did not continue, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.

"Everyone knows what to pay attention to when searching for an escape point. I won't say any more nonsense. Macajerun, if you don't know, just follow Moback. Everything will be based on his actions."

"The only special requirement is that they must not be dispersed. I have said it just now and I will repeat it again. They must not be dispersed. Any action, unless ordered by me, must be accompanied by at least two companions."

"Are you worried that someone will be parasitized and then suddenly appear like those frogs?" Militty asked, "In the battle just now, those frog people were dead people. If they want to control them, they can only control dead people, right?" .”

"Why did those guards commit suicide?" Shuuer asked, "Do they commit suicide specifically so that the plants can control themselves? We see that the people controlled are all dead people. That is because there are no more living people in the city. It does not mean that they Can’t control living people.”

"Well, it makes sense."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Obviously, there is no problem. Although everyone always feels that Shuer's reaction is a bit strange, and some words seem to be intentionally unclear, the trust between each other is enough for everyone to ignore these for the time being and bury the questions in their hearts. .

The mission changed, and the exploration speed naturally accelerated a lot. We went straight to the starting position of the border, and then slowly circled along the border.

Exploring the boundary line is not as easy as imagined. It passes through many large buildings and even building groups along the way. If you want to explore along the way, you have to continuously go around, climb over, or even go deep into the buildings, which seriously slows down the speed of exploration.

However, the benefits are also obvious. At least you can find many strange objects that you have given up on, such as...

"Ha, a sea-blue rare metal, this thing is as stable as gold." Moback admired a blue bracelet through the light. The slender bracelet glowed with a dark blue light and looked full of mystery. "This The things are definitely valuable, Captain..."

"Six hundred and five, plus or minus no more than twenty."

"Haha, I made a profit, if I find a few more..."

"Then it becomes four hundred and five, at most four hundred and five."

"It's a shame you guys can still laugh." Saff was concentrating on his calculations, while others were concentrating on searching for rare objects nearby. The halfling felt that his brain was a bit out of control, "In this situation, it's not the right..."

"What should we do? Should we cry?" Shuer patted the halfling on the shoulder, "What do you think we are here for?"

"But the situation is different now, isn't it what you said, cough cough cough, we may all be parasitized, and hidden dangers may break out at any time, which is very dangerous." Macajerun scratched his head, participating in Shadow Chaser for the first time, it was really Unable to keep up with the thoughts of his teammates, it felt like they were not like this when they were adventuring in the world of Parvatiga before.

"Stupid halfling, there are a few projections from other worlds that are not dangerous." It is not convenient for Shuer to say some things, but Moback can taunt him to his heart's content, "And the captain decided to evacuate as soon as possible, just to deal with those hidden dangers. Isn't it right now?" On the way to evacuate? It's a rare opportunity to not delay the evacuation, and not to be on high alert. If we don't take advantage of it, wouldn't it be... That thing is good, memory metal, but it's a pity that we also have it over there. Alas, don't throw it away. It's such a big piece. It’s more than 100 gold coins.”

"Look, this is the Shadow Chaser." Xiuer shrugged and said meaningfully, "After entering the projection of another world, every Shadow Chaser is a money fan. The more dangerous it is, the less likely it is to come here in vain, otherwise he will die. It's meaningless. If you want to cooperate for a long time in the projection world in the future, you have to get used to this style."

"No." Safu, who was lying on the ground doing calculations, suddenly stood up and said rather disappointedly, "The data are very similar, but not here."

"Let's go to the next point."

They left immediately, even if they had already held the things they were preparing to appraise, they threw them away. The Shadow Chasers didn’t waste a second and left without any regrets. The halflings followed with a blank look on their faces, and could only laugh at themselves in their hearts. He smiled, it seemed that he was making a fuss, and he really had to work hard to get used to it.

The backyard of the house is excluded, the underground square is excluded, the storage warehouse is excluded, the assembly venue is excluded, and finally the school square is excluded.Wait, school?
Shuer suddenly stopped and looked back at the two-story buildings in the school.

"Saf, Mia, come in with me, the others will wait a moment." Shuer smiled thoughtfully, "It seems that if you are lucky, you might have a chance to know what happened to them."

What is most popular in the school?Books, of course.A few minutes later, the three of them each held a thick stack of books and hurried out of the building. It seemed that they had gained a good harvest.

However, as soon as he came back, he saw the halfling with a different expression, pointing forward, talking to Morback.

"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Looking in the direction Macajerun pointed, Shuer already understood what he was surprised about.

"There were frogmen jumping over there. Their movements were the same as the ones we just killed." The halfling said in confusion, "Then they suddenly disappeared from my sight."

"Oh, don't be surprised. It is outside the boundary and cannot see us. Now it is equivalent to him standing in his own world and us standing in Parvatiga. There is a space barrier between us and we will definitely not be able to see through."

"But can we see him?"

"Yes, we are standing in the projection world, adjacent to their world, of course we can see him. As for him disappearing, it is because he has jumped into the body area of ​​the projection world, and the two spaces overlap, so you can't see him him."

The halfling took off his pointed hat and scratched his head vigorously. For a moment, he even felt that Xiuer was teasing him. However, based on his understanding of Xiuer, he knew that Xiuer would definitely not do this, but such contradictory words...

"Where are we standing?" Macajerun grimaced and looked at his good brother with pleading eyes. Unfortunately, Moback looked helpless.

"Essentially we are still in Parvatiga and follow the rules of Pavatiga, so my magic can take effect, but we are not in Pavatiga, we are in the projection space, so my mirror image can't be compared with Lisa is connected because they are not in the same space. And this projection space overlaps with both Parvatiga and his original world, so it also obeys the rules of their world."

"Also, let's talk about it together, lest you have to ask later, you see the light source above your head, we have restored the energy supply, but in fact, the city in their original world has not restored the energy supply."

"No, if you put it this way, since they are outside the projection of the other world, it should be that our side is bright and their side is dark." Macajerun felt that every word Xiure said was is contradictory.

"That's right, it's pitch black over there." Shuer said seriously, "Their side is lit up just because we saw it through the projection. In fact, their side, including the entire city, is in darkness. Do you understand now?"

"I don't understand at all." The halfling shook his head vigorously.

"That's right." Xiuer finally couldn't hold back, and said with a smile, "It took Saf 14 years to fully understand this theory, and then became an expert projection energy tester. As for Me, she spent at least six months lecturing to me before I understood a little bit, do you really want to figure it out?"

"Absolutely not." Macajerun's head almost shook.

"Congratulations then." Shuer suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged the halfling vigorously, "Welcome to join the ranks of the Shadow Chasers."

"Haha, captain, let me just say that he can pass the test the first time." Moback then picked up Macajerun and spun him around, "Hahaha, you idiot, I guessed it right."

Not only Shuuer and Morbuck, everyone in the team gave the halfling a warm hug. Even the shyest Saff quickly expressed his welcome with a hug.

"This is how everyone came here, and now it also includes the questions you just raised about the change in everyone's attitude." Seeing that the halfling was still confused, Soul explained patiently, "When you observe these questions, And take it to heart, and asking them at the end means that you have tried to think from the perspective of a shadow chaser, and you are considered a preliminary qualified shadow chaser, congratulations."

"Uh, thank you." Although he still didn't understand it, he really felt everyone's joy, and the halfling still smiled.

"However, the welcome ceremony ends here." Shuer's smile faded, "Sav, this is the last point."

"Yes, the exit is not on the first floor." Saff apologized, as if she had done something wrong, "But there is no need to check the second floor. This floor is high enough. I also checked the second floor along the way. ."

"Okay." Shuer hesitated for a moment, but decided not to risk overexerting his energy for overnight detection. After all, Sav's mission requires mental concentration. If he doesn't get enough rest, it's easy to make mistakes, and the gain will outweigh the loss. "That's it for today. I'll go back tomorrow. Home."
