Chapter 216 The Age of Mercury (Subscribe)

——Guess [-]: Will mercury lose its effect one day?
This last guess is specially marked with a red pen.

Wu Hao watched and frowned.

If the first guess is true, in ancient times, there were ghost masters who suppressed ghosts.And use bronze, or copper sulfate or something, anyway, it is copper mine to suppress ghosts.

Even in ancient times, gold and silver were used to suppress ghosts.

Then the suppression of ghosts can be divided according to the historical process of human beings and the different substances used.

Respectively

Golden Age - ancient times

Silver Age - Antiquity

Bronze Age - Late Antiquity

And now

The Quicksilver Age - Modern

Of course, the chronological ordering is only done by Wu Hao himself, and it is very likely that silver is still ahead of gold, but this ordering is more logical.

"These ghosts must be using certain methods to gradually make the substances that suppress them lose their effect little by little. Or there may be other reasons that caused the previous suppression substances to have no effect, and the new ability to suppress the seal has been transferred to the other material."

"Four ages! Gold, silver, bronze, and mercury! Even in earlier ages, there are other substances that suppress seals."

"Interesting, very interesting."

"How did these ghosts do it? They can actually make the substances that suppress the seal invalid, or transfer them."

"The newly born ghosts will only have a slight reaction to the previous suppressing and sealing substances, and then they will be fine. This is like the human body, which has developed antibodies against the previous virus. Even if the virus enters again, it will not help."

"what is the problem?"

The more Wu Hao thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The substances that suppress the seal are invalidated in rotation, and the characteristics of the suppressed seal are shifting.

Interesting phenomenon, isn't it?

He also learned that in the same era, he had never heard of a second substance that suppressed the seal.

At least in the current Mercury Age, there is one and only Mercury as the suppressing and sealing substance discovered by humans.

In this way, can we extend our thinking, it is not mercury itself that suppresses and seals ghosts, but a certain rule or characteristic contained in this substance?
And this kind of rules, or characteristics, can be transferred!

flow between different substances.

Thinking of these, Wu Hao suddenly thought of the weirdness of the time-stopping world.

The grotesqueness to which he belongs is like the most perfect ghost, transferring the characteristic of suppressing the seal to himself.

If you don't choose to forcibly defeat it, then you can only obey the grotesque laws of behavior, activity rules, etc., and then suppress and seal in a way that goes against these laws.

This is very popular in weird games.

——Anti-Fit Seal!

"It's grotesque. It's entirely because ghosts bred the characteristics suppressed by the seal in their own bodies."

"Could it be."

Wu Hao thought of the rune representing the grotesque fundamentality, and the pollution characteristics of the rune, and then looked at the regular fluid of the ghost.

If, he just said if!
What would happen if he transferred the sealing and suppressing properties contained in the quicksilver into his projected body and mixed it with the regular fluid?
perhaps
However, what exactly are the properties stored in these suppressive and sealed substances?How to seize it, or how to do it, Wu Hao is still at a loss for Monk Zhanger.

Even all of this is just his guess, maybe it's just a change in the rules of the world.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much for now. Eat the little dessert in front of you first."

Wu Hao felt that his saliva was about to flow out, if his ghost claws had mouths.

He reached out and tapped lightly on the sealed quicksilver portal.

bang bang bang
after three beeps
The door suddenly opened
A majestic ghost energy rushed towards us.

This ghost energy is mixed with a strong sour smell, and there is also a pungent smell of metal.

"Has the power spread so much?"

"To be honest, I absolutely don't believe that those high-level members of the Ghost Masters Alliance don't know that these ghost powers are starting to spread."

"It must be some kind of idea, so let it go."

"It's just that you are definitely playing with fire. You are betting on the lives of all human beings. Mercury is gradually losing its sealing and suppressing effect on ghosts, but you choose to turn a blind eye. Let me guess what it is that attracts you Power, greater than the current situation?"

"The latest big event is the wedding banquet! Could it be the so-called correct time?"

Thinking in his heart, Wu Hao stepped into the sealed room. In the extremely dark room, there was a crackling sound after a while.

The sound spread far and far in the darkness. After hearing the sound, countless strange creatures couldn't help shivering, and quickly fled away in the direction away from the sound.

The ghost energy permeating around the sealed room of the prokaryotic phagosome also gradually dissipated.

Eventually lost track entirely.

Everything fell into a deeper darkness.

the other side

Li Ang and his party escaped the strange regional phenomenon caused by the power of the time ghost, and finally arrived at the sealed house of the ancient door knocker.

The sealed house of the knocker is very different from other sealed houses. There is no so-called house here, and there is no coffin box.

There is only a pit more than ten meters deep, and the pit is covered with silver-white liquid mercury. The mercury is rippling with a psychedelic luster and looks very beautiful.

A total of four huge chains made of mercury as the main material went deep into the liquid mercury, and the specific appearance of the end could not be seen clearly.

"This is... the place where the old knocker was imprisoned?"

Li Ang, Xiao Cangjingzi, Li Dongxing, and others all showed surprise.

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Pulitzer nodded.

"You have to understand that for special ghosts like ancient door knockers, some special techniques are required to imprison them. Especially this ancient door knocker, because of the phenomenon of door knocking, wants to be imprisoned like other ghosts. , is very difficult."

"His power, after being emitted naturally, will randomly knock on doors around. As long as there is something around that matches the concept of a door, it will be knocked on."

"And the force generated by the knocking will have an impact on the seal. It may not matter for a short time, but after a long time, it will cause the suppression seal to fail."

While explaining, Preet instructed his subordinates to choose to hand over the knocker.

I saw them start to grab those chains and pull them out little by little. Finally, a sphere about the size of a fist wrapped in a solid mass of mercury was half-floated in the mercury.

"Is this the knocker?"

Li Ang opened his mouth, looked at the new human-like knocker he captured, and looked at the size of the sphere.

For a while, it was unacceptable.

No matter what he thought, he never thought it would be like this.

It even made him suspicious, wondering whether the Ghost Master Alliance was deceiving himself?
"Of course, this is the ancient knocker. I have nothing to do to lie to you."

"That's why I told you that this ancient knocker is very special. When we caught it, a large number of people were sacrificed."

"Although it is defined as a peak B-level ghost, it is no less weird than those A-level ghosts that are only circulated in the circle and no one has ever seen."

Preet explained, and then squatted down, carefully observing the sphere in the quicksilver.

"It is very special, so special that we all need to design this huge mercury pit, as well as the spherical mercury, to suppress and seal it. Put an end to the concept of all doors."

"To be honest, I would never have agreed to exchange it if the adults above hadn't told you to exchange it."

"How special it is, you have never understood it. It's a pity, the gang above."

Pulitt's voice was low, and he seemed very dissatisfied with the exchange of knockers.

"It's up to you and me. Of course, the new door knocker is not bad. Its particularity is even higher than that of the ancient door knocker. It has the characteristics of summoning, the combination of living corpses and ghosts, and it seems to retain a little bit of human beings. Wisdom can knock on doors out of thin air, breaking through the concept of doors to a certain extent.”

"Even when I caught it, it had established a plausible ghost zone. Even if I left there, that zone didn't collapse, and the fog spread. Now I think it has completely turned into an inaccessible forbidden area."

Li Ang spread his hands and said.

"impossible!"

"How can there be so many ghosts with so many characteristics? If it is a ghost domain, you have already suppressed it, and it is impossible to exist in the world! The ghost domain relies on ghosts to exist. Without their support, the place will definitely be destroyed in an instant. break down."

Pritt vetoed silently.

"Do you think I don't know?"

"But, that's the truth!"

"Anyway, the foggy area suspected of being a haunted domain did not collapse. That's why I said this ghost is very special."

Li Ang pouted.

How could he not know?
It is because I knew that after suppressing the ghosts, I was very surprised to find that the foggy area still existed and did not collapse.

It was only at the urging of Li Dongxing and others that he left to avoid complications.

Thinking about it now, I still have doubts.

There are many puzzles.

"Wait, you said that this ghost has the ability to summon?"

Pritt frowned suddenly.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

He ignored Li Ang's rhetorical question.

"You also told me that after you came out of the fog area, you felt that you were being targeted. And now you tell me that the fog area based on this door knocker did not follow its suppressing seal. dissipate!"

"Then, have you never thought that the establishment of the foggy area is likely to be another ghost?"

Preet's last words were almost uttered word for word.

A chilling horror suddenly hit everyone's hearts.

"impossible!"

"Li Dongxing told me at the beginning that there was only..."

"Wait, what about others?"

Li Ang lost his voice in shock.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Dongxing, who had been silent behind them all this time, was nowhere to be seen!
Along with him disappeared, there was that Hunter!
I don't know when, all of them are gone!
