On the Seven Towers

"...In the dream, the battle ended just like that. The gun somehow ended up at the ruins that Ji Yijun and I had explored. Then I started to have some weird dreams, all from the perspective of the Valkyrie. I saw a lot of things...like memory fragments. I think this gun brought me this." Ye Zi handed the gun to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stood by the window of Ye Zi's room, looking at the gun carefully with the sunlight coming in. It is silver-white in color and made of a hard and flexible metal, but it doesn't feel like metal is slippery to the touch. The transition from the gun barrel to the gun tip is very smooth, giving people a sci-fi feel, which is quite incompatible with the weapons of this world.

Xiao Chen touched the barrel of the gun with his hand and felt a strong sense of rejection. The gun was obviously not heavy, but it made it difficult for him to lift it and swing it. There was always an urge in his heart to return it to Ye Zi.

Is it an impact on people’s spirits?

Xiao Chen released a trace of his mental energy and gently placed it on the gun shaft like a tentacle, preparing to explore the inside of the spear.

However, the moment his spiritual power penetrated the gun body, a powerful spiritual power surged from the gun barrel. First, it ruthlessly bounced away his spiritual tentacles, and then turned into a fist and hit Xiao Chen's head. The troops rushed over. Xiao Chen felt a sense of oppression coming from the top of a mountain. If such a force rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness, it would shake his foundation. At the least, the sea of ​​consciousness would be shaken and his mental power would be damaged. In the worst case, the sea of ​​consciousness would be shattered and he would become an idiot. .

Xiao Chen quickly released the mental barrier magic, turning his mental power into layers of dense nets, blocking his sea of ​​consciousness. However, that power has a strange attribute, making its quality and density much stronger than Xiao Chen's mental power. It's like a drill bit hitting a rock. Xiao Chen's hastily constructed defense, although slightly weakening it, did not successfully block its invasion.

Layer after layer of mental barriers were broken through. Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and simply opened the meditation space floating in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, letting the fist break into his own sea.

In that world, an island had originally formed next to Xiao Chen's cruise ship, with several coconut trees on it. The cruise ship was moored at a simple pier, and the sea area about one kilometer in radius was calm. This is the result of three months of hard work. At this time, his body was standing on the sand with a cautious expression, looking into the sky where dark clouds were rolling.

Suddenly, a gap opened in the sky, and the dark clouds quickly rotated, forming a hole, revealing the stars behind it. A shining golden comet appeared among the stars, suddenly plunging into the world. Plunging into the distant ocean, the sea first sunk, then swelled, and then overwhelming waves swept over.

Xiao Chen's body flashed and appeared in the cabin of the yacht, and then closed the cabin door tightly. Then a huge force lifted the boat, and then rotated the entire cabin...

In the real world, Xiao Chen held the silver gun tightly, but he was shocked and stood there blankly, his face turned pale. When he came back to his senses, he found Ye Zi patting his face anxiously.

Xiao Chen raised his hand to signal her to stop, put the spear back in her hand, then found a chair nearby and sat down, adjusting his breathing for a while before returning to normal.

"Senior, how are you? What happened just now? It's all my fault. I'll show you this gun. The two very powerful priests didn't dare to touch it last time."

Xiao Chen smiled, but his face was still a little pale: "It is a steadfast and unyielding weapon. I touched it with my mental power. It may have thought that I was taking advantage of it, and immediately hit me in the face with my mental power. ”

Ye Zi was stunned when he heard this: "It also has spiritual power? Are you not injured?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said: "I was careless. However, the experience just now did no harm to me. I saw what a more concentrated mental power should look like. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ye Zi was a little annoyed and patted the gun body and said, "I told you to mess around."

"This gun is very powerful. It will use its own spiritual power to counter my exploration. I even suspect that it has its own consciousness."

"So these memory fragments are talking to me?" Ye Zi nodded: "No wonder, the experience of this gun is so legendary, and the birth of consciousness is normal."

"It's really possible. Do you still remember those memories?"

Ye Zi shook his head and said, "Except for the memory of the first battle, all other scenes are intermittent and the pictures are incomplete. It's like someone cut a photo album into pieces and stuffed it into my head. I can I feel that many of them are fighting scenes, and some... seem to be getting along with a man, but there seems to be a lot of content, because the fragments I see seem to be different every day."

"Do you know that man?"

"His image is not very clear, but his body shape is unfamiliar to me."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said: "I suggest you write them down and see if you can form any valuable picture. I always have a hunch that the past of this gun has a lot to do with our future."

————————————————————————

In Luo Ling's office, Ji Yijun stared at Luo Ling with crooked eyebrows, no, more at the rare laptop she had in hand. You can still charge this thing at this time, but it's all important. Catalina stood beside her with some restraint. Even though she argued in front of Ji Yijun without showing any signs of weakness, she was like a docile kitten to Luo Ling.

Ji Yijun had already reported to Luo Ling that a mysterious figure had taught Crete magic. However, Luo Ling seemed... to be more concerned about other things. Her hands had been typing, and her eyes were just following Ji Yijun's description of the incident. He glanced at the two of them a few times, and then simply said: "Yes. I understand the matter. It's good that you can find the anomaly. I will leave it to you to take full responsibility for tracking down the mysterious person. Tell me what resources are needed, but don't influence it." The normal work in the camp has just begun, and people's hearts are not yet stable, so try to make as little trouble as possible. As for Crete, I will talk to him, and you should stop staring at him. "

Catalina said softly: "Maybe I can ask Crete again."

Luo Ling shook her head and said: "He may have been wary of you. If there is really a conspiracy against him, how much truth can he know? Maybe what he asks will lead you astray. You can find other ways to find out. Get it, that’s it.”

Ji Yijun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the end?"

"It's over, what else do you want?"

"Sister Luo Ling, aren't the instructions you gave me too official? What do you mean by having full authority to investigate without affecting the normal work? I came to report this important situation to you, and you just said it in one sentence?"

Luo Ling stopped typing, turned her head to the two of them, and said seriously: "Ji Yijun, your most important problem now is the change of mentality. You are no longer a student, you are now a person with a job. This job It’s still very difficult. So please learn to analyze the problem yourself, solve the problem yourself, and be responsible for yourself. If you have to give me instructions, then you can only be a thug.”

"I, I just want to discuss it with someone." Ji Yijun said with a bitter face.

"Then come and discuss with me when you have some conclusions and clues. Don't throw a vague story directly to me. I'm really busy." Luo Ling pointed to Catalina, "Or you can talk to me Your friend needs to sort out his thoughts first.”

The two people came out of Luo Ling's office. Ji Yijun held his chin with his hand and thought for a while, then said to Catalina: "We have to do something about this matter, and we can't let her look down on her."

"Is this what you've been thinking about for a long time?" Catalina said.

"What? Am I not determined?" Ji Yijun muttered, "But just now, I have the first direction. I know who we should go to ask about the magic situation."

———————————————————————

Morey is still wearing a white coat, looking like a scientific researcher. When Ji Yijun found him, he was conducting gunpowder experiments with Mao Kai. Looking at the expressions of the two people, he knew that the experiment was not going well.

When Ji Yijun called Morey out, Mao Kai was shouting inside: "Go back quickly. We have to come to a conclusion as soon as possible. I think it won't work, it just won't work. I have tried this many times. Change the ratio according to the formula of the earth. A little bit of trying is a dead end, and we must make this clear to the higher-ups.”

Morey closed the door and ignored him at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Ji Yijun, "In the final analysis, Mao Kai is still impatient, so don't worry about him. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Ji Yijun briefly talked about the causes and consequences, and then focused on describing the appearance of casting the spell. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and played a video. It was exactly how the man in black cast the spell on Crete, but because it was very dark and the distance was far away , only a few purple-red light spots can be seen in the black.

Catalina next to him looked at the phone and said in surprise: "You still have this, why didn't you tell me, and why didn't you take it out just now at Mr. Luo's place?"

"What does she know? It's just two balls of light. It's all in vain for her. The same goes for you. You've even seen the live version. What's the use of watching this? The battery of this mobile phone is expensive. I spend a lot of money every week. It takes a turn to recharge with strength.”

"Stingy bitch, Sister Cao Lu lent me a game last time." Catalina said disdainfully.

"Go. We are talking about serious business here." Ji Yijun pushed Catalina aside and continued to ask Morey, "Do you see anything?"

"A very weird magical light." Morey said, "You know, the halos emitted by different magics are regular. In magic appraisal, there is a school that judges each other through the color and strength of the halo. As for the type of spell casting, this kind of purple light is rare. I highly doubt that it is the product of direct spell casting, but is released with the help of some kind of magic item. Also, as far as I know, about the seeds you mentioned. In magic, you can never learn how to cast spells in one day, even with all kinds of magic, it takes a certain amount of time to practice.”

"What about the purple light on Crete's hand?" Ji Yijun asked.

"Maybe I have to go to the scene and take a look." Morey replied.
