Chapter 40 The One-Man Show

Compared to the first floor, the fourth floor is much cleaner and tidier.

It seems that the content recorded in the first diary is indeed the truth. The desperate frogs gathered at the lowest level to fight for survival.

There is no suspense about their ending. The hundreds of purified corpses have already explained everything. However, the shadow chasers still have many unsolved doubts in their hearts, but they have never been able to find the answer.

Who were they fighting at the last moment?It can't be with real plants, it can only be with those frog people controlled by plants.However, the plants can obviously control all the people directly, so why do they use siege to deal with the remaining frog people?

No one can answer this question, not even the owner of the first diary and the director of the research institute. I am afraid that only those plants that are now invisible and intangible, but are always around everyone can answer.

Of course, neatness is only relative to the first floor. In fact, the fourth floor is also quite messy.

From time to time, discarded shoes can be seen on the roadside, perhaps left behind during the evacuation. Pieces of rags in the center of the road that have not completely decayed may be debris thrown away in panic. The pools of blood on the ground that have long dried up should be I hurt myself in the hasty running, and as for the corpse whose head was squashed, stomach was cut open, and internal organs were all hollowed out...

"No, I can't make it up anymore." Xiuer held the holy book in his hand and pressed his fingers on the corpse's crushed forehead. A faint light flashed and the corpse turned into a patch of light and scattered.

"Shh." Sav has taken off his glasses since just now, and is now being guided by Shuer by the hand, just like a real blind person.

Reading a lot over the years has accumulated a wealth of knowledge, but it has also paid a heavy price. Female swordsmen must wear thick glasses at all times, otherwise they are no longer much different from blind people.

However, sometimes loss is not necessarily a bad thing. Her eyesight is getting worse and worse, but her hearing is getting better and better, so that even the most keen hunter cannot compare with her in hearing.Flowers bloom, snow falls, she can use her hearing to feel the world.

"Stop talking. 31 degrees east by north, 130 seven meters away, there was a sound just now. I'm not sure if it was him or the sound of the building materials expanding themselves."

"130 seven meters, let's go." Xiu Er put his arms around Saf's waist, and lifted her onto Moria's back to sit down.The deer kicked his knee angrily, and then rushed to the top of the fence, trotting all the way along the metal fence.

"You are a deer, not a goat, so you don't have to do such difficult movements." Xiuer, who was dressed in a cloth robe, was running around on the roof and walls, and his feet were more stable than others.In fact, thanks to hard training in his hometown, his control over the body is the strongest among all his teammates. This level of balance control is as simple as eating and drinking in his opinion.

"Click", a few meters away, hoofs stepped on the metal ground, and the crisp impact echoed in the silent space.

Moria, who landed on the ground, bent down and put her face on the ground, gently stroking the marks on the floor with her fingers.

"He didn't pass this road." Lin Jing put his fingers under his nose and sniffed a few times before shaking his head and saying, "These are very ancient traces and they must have nothing to do with him."

"Wait, no, he passed by, and the voice just now was him." Within a second, Moria overturned her judgment without hesitation, "The traces are well hidden, but the smell cannot be hidden from me. He Definitely walked on this ground.”

"Here?" Xiure pointed to the place Lin Jing had touched just now.

"Well, this is it."

"Sniff, sniff, sniff." Sav followed Moria's example and lay down on the ground to smell. She squinted her eyes and tried to see where her friend was. "I didn't smell anything special."

"Sasa, don't make trouble." He patted Safu's head hard, making her huddle aside like an aggrieved cat. Shuer pressed his finger on the position pointed by Lin Jing, and put his other finger on the ground beside him. Move slowly upward to outline a circle.

"The lightless moon stays in the night sky forever. Under the dark moon, everything in the world can't hide. Praise the holy name of my lord Luna, and give me the gaze of the moon." Ripples suddenly appeared in the range that was passed by, and when the ripples subsided, a light screen appeared in the circle, showing the surrounding scene.The image is blurry, but still barely visible.

Moon Gaze, a high-level magic of the dark moon series, establishes a connection with the lightless moon and reveals everything that a person has experienced not long ago.

Like all high-level divine spells, Moon Gaze consumes a lot of money and is very restrictive. Not only does it need to be touched by the person, but the touch time cannot exceed 3 minutes, and the target person's level cannot be higher than that of the caster. surgeon.It's a very limited magic, but it's just right for use here.

Soon, the image of Macajeron appeared on the light screen.

"Eh? Why is it so blurry?" Moria lay on the ground, holding her chin, and poked at the light screen with her fingers dissatisfied, "It was clearly clear before."

"Crack." Relentlessly knocking down the troublesome hand, Xiuer rolled his eyes and said angrily, "This is an alien projection, separated by a space barrier, it's good if it works, there must be interference on the screen. If it hadn’t been for Sasa’s previous statement that the essence of this place is still Pavatiga, this kind of magic can also infiltrate, and I don’t intend to waste my mental power.” “Stop bickering, you two idiots.” The female swordsman said weakly Protested, "Look at the picture."

"Huh?" The two raised their eyebrows, and glanced at Saf with dangerous eyes at the same time, "Okay, we will remember it for you, and when we go back, hehehehe."

"Ahhhhh, you guys are so annoying, don't tease me! Look at the picture quickly, what is he doing?"

"Idiot, we have been watching." Shuuer slapped the female swordsman behind again, making steam almost come out of the girl's head.But what he said was right, he had indeed been watching, because Markajlen's reaction was really not normal.

The bust appears to be performing a one-man show.

It was clearly an empty environment, but he fled quickly along the street as if something was chasing him.

It would be easier to explain if he was just running away, but his actions were not just as simple as running away.

Dodge, avoid, roll, and jump, as if something invisible was attacking him. In the process of escaping, he kept making various movements in order to avoid these invisible attacks.

The most incomprehensible thing is that while he is doing these actions, he occasionally smiles and says a few words to the side of no one. It is as if his teammates are following him and avoiding the enemy with him.Perhaps in his perception, he was making strategic shifts with his teammates, trying to get rid of the enemy's pursuit and find an escape point.

"Pa", the light screen flashed suddenly, and finally dimmed, and the ground returned to its original state, but the mood of those who saw this scene was not so easy to calm down.

"What... did he see?" Saff's face turned pale, and the halfling's strange state even gave her a hint of fear from the bottom of her heart.

"I don't know, maybe it's us. I'm afraid in his eyes, he's still with us." Shuer sighed, "To be able to do this, the abilities of these plants are more difficult than I thought. , I thought they could only forcibly control the body of a living person, but I didn’t expect that they can actually influence the perception of a living person to make the controlled person actively follow their orders, which is much more powerful than forceful control."

Indeed, it would be okay if the parasitized person were those frogs. If the parasitized person was a shadow chaser, many abilities would not be usable at all when plants are forcibly controlled. But it is different now. The person under control now, Macajerun, can fully use it. Use all your strength.A hostile gold-level thief is a serious threat to any teammate. Especially if a battle breaks out, it is really a headache to show mercy to him.

"We...we...would we all be the same as Makajeren now?" Saf tightly gripped the hilt of her two-handed sword, as if the weapon could bring her enough courage, "Could it be that we've all been together for a long time?" We separated, everything we saw was an illusion created by plants, in fact, Xiuer and Moria, you two are not here at all, and I am also performing in front of a cloud of air like Macajerun?"

Saff couldn't speak anymore because her mouth was gagged.

The warm touch on the lips, the familiar smell in the nose, the hug that binds the heart, everything is the same as before.

"What now? Do you still think it's an illusion?" The joking voice echoed in her ears. This hateful yet warm voice made her never forget it.

"Asshole, Shuer is an asshole." She cursed weakly in her mind, but the girl's heart was filled with sweetness. Even if it was an illusion, it would be nice. If she could always be by his side, so what if it was an illusion?

"Yo yo, yo yo, I'm a deer, yo yo, I didn't see anything."

This was definitely not an illusion. Sometimes deer roared, and sometimes people spoke of forest spirits, making the girl grit her teeth and accept the reality.Only that idiot Moria can say those words that make people itch. Those plants can't do such disgusting things, so this is definitely not an illusion!
"Moria!" Saf covered her face and yelled, bumping her head against Lin Jing's deer's back, lying in the soft fur and not looking up.

"In the name of the sacred, protect the sacred power." Shuer suddenly tore off a page from the holy book and threw it into the air. The page floating in the air turned into countless light spots and quickly penetrated into everyone's eyes. in vivo.

Each holy book was copied by the priests themselves in order to communicate with the state of the gods. While condensing the power of the priests' faith, it was also contaminated with the power of the gods.Tearing down the holy book is equivalent to directly borrowing the power of the gods in the true sense, which is completely different from simply releasing divine magic.

"In this way, you don't have to worry, Sasha, I don't believe that they can break through the power of divinity. Hehe, let's see these things hiding in the dark together now, and see what other tricks they have. .”

Yes, of course there are.

Just before Xiure finished speaking, a Ruoyouruowu sword flashed across his back.
