Quadruple split

The thin malice flowed in the air, bleak and turbid, mixed with frantic echoes.

[This place, something really bad happened...]

Gu Xiaole walked slowly behind Pesci, his clogs did not make any sound, his big, bright eyes looked around curiously, as reassuring as usual, and full of youthful vigor.

As a temporary member of the Paw Patrol, Ji Xiaoge's rescuer from thousands of miles away, Gu Xiaole has proved his worth in the past week. The many shikigami he controls are not only extremely powerful in combat, but also play a huge role in the exploration process. Even now, the "pathfinders" of Inugami and Maekei are at the forefront of the team.

Among them, Inugami has extremely powerful stealth and reconnaissance capabilities, and his sense of smell and hearing are not weaker than Yaya. Although his frontal combat power is not strong, his agile fighting style and airtight mouth-holding sword skills are enough to ensure that he will not be easily killed. In addition, he is in tune with Gu Xiaole, which is definitely the most ideal scout choice in the team.

As for the former ghost named [Shan], who looks like a dull boy, wearing cloth clothes and holding an axe, and looks thin and small, he has strength, explosive power and anti-strike ability far beyond his appearance, especially after being blessed by Gu Xiaole with [White Zetsu·Shura Hell], his defense is even no less than that of Wang Badan, who has a unique racial advantage.

In addition to these two, there is a paper lantern with a flashing blue light floating above everyone's head, and a fog is filled around that does not affect the vision, but can effectively prevent peeping and detection.

They are [Blue Lantern] and [False Object·Mirage], the former has a wide-area early warning function, which can sense murderous intent and malice to a certain extent, allowing people to judge the degree of threat by the amplitude of the swaying light. When the situation is extremely critical, the Blue Lantern will go out immediately, and then the visibility around will be reduced to zero, and finally a ghost gate will be summoned in the dark. The effect is similar to the ghost gate in Yi Dong's [Double Ghosts Knocking the Door], but the lethality is better and the control range is also larger.

And Mirage is also a defensive shikigami. In addition to being able to spread out to block the outside world's prying fog, when Gu Xiaole needs it, these fogs can also form a real "Mirage" to isolate the threat.

According to Gu Xiaole, the theoretical upper limit of the Mirage is not as simple as a "building", but a super-large-scale illusion with palaces, pavilions, flowers, trees, houses, fertile fields, pedestrians and merchants. When fully activated, it can even form a true and false effect.

By the way, also quoting Gu Xiaole's statement, although [Mirage·Fake] is her Shikigami, it is different from the "same species" such as Inugami, Maeki, Goki, Origami, Aoandon, etc. Compared with creatures that can think independently, [Mirage], whether it is a "real thing" or a "fake thing", is essentially a phenomenon. Although it can be driven by Gu Xiaole, it does not have the ability to act independently, and the consumption during maintenance is still not small.

As for the real related Shikigami 'Phantom Clam', that is, the creature that created [Mirage], it is not something that Gu Xiaole can control at this level. In fact, even [Mirage], she can only rely on her own power to "print" a castrated version of the fake.

Of course, even if it is a fake, Peshi, Largo, Jadeka and others have given a very high evaluation of Mirage. In fact, they have highly evaluated each of Gu Xiaole's Shikigami. It is no exaggeration to say that without considering the technical strength, the summoned creatures under the command of this great Onmyoji can actually form a low-profile exploration team with quite online functionality.

For example, now, when Gu Xiaole summoned Qiangui, Inugami, Qingxuande and Mirage at the same time, except for herself who must always communicate with these Shikigami, only Largo, the double insurance, needs to maintain a high state of concentration, while Peshi, Lujiang, Yaya, Motan and Ji Xiaoge can be relatively relaxed, and Jadeka, who is responsible for the rear guard, can conserve his energy and be ready to exchange hands with Largo at any time.

Again, in this kind of exploration, the high concentration state actually consumes a lot of human energy, so although these Shikigami may not play a decisive role in direct conflict or danger, they can greatly improve the exploration efficiency of the group.

Apart from the shikigami, Gu Xiaole herself also helped the team tremendously. Even if we only look at it from the most superficial perspective, a half-step epic who is both a summoner and a necromancer can definitely play a role in the exploration of ancient ruins.

But——

Compared to the abilities shown to everyone, Gu Xiaole actually has more "hidden" things. The reason for using quotation marks is that Gu Xiaole is not deliberately hiding her abilities, but her abilities that cannot be explained in [The Realm of Innocence] are mostly mysterious knowledge outside the game, that is, the means of "Onmyoji".

So instead of laboriously explaining to everyone one by one the things that no one can understand, such as Yin-Yang eyes, ghost realms, spirits, etc., Gu Xiaole decisively chose the action plan of less BB and more work. While relying on her ability to "archaeology", she tried her best to help everyone in her own way.

For example, now, although it looks like she is strolling behind Peschi with her hands behind her back, Gu Xiaole's spiritual power has already overflowed from the mirage and extended all the way forward to a place deeper than the Inugami and the Zenki.

Unlike magic or fighting spirit, Onmyoji's spiritual power does not have a clear positioning. After all, there are no two identical aliens in the world, so everyone's habits and emphasis on using power are also different.

The current tendency of the eldest lady of the Gu family to use spiritual power is - soul searching, insight, restraint and mapping.

This way of using power that takes both combat and functionality into account, if you switch to an ordinary psychic or onmyoji, you will probably end up becoming a third-rate person who cannot achieve high or low. But for those who have survived the fate of [Three Waters Jue Star], For Gu Xiaole, who has a Taiyin body that is perfectly compatible with Onmyoji, and has been working hard with the 'bridal practice' since he was a child, this is really the most cost-effective way to use it.

It is true that, whether in reality or in the game, Gu Xiaole is far from being able to overcome all kinds of difficulties with spiritual power alone, but in this kind of character, which is 'yin', full of hatred, resentment, and anger. Place, even a vague 'inspiration', may play an extremely crucial role.

After all, in most film, television, and literary works, when the plot reaches this point, one (or several) exciting and extremely difficult-to-write fight scenes will most likely be unavoidable.

Because of this, Gu Xiaole was actually ready to use his spiritual power to sweep out countless ghosts of Yin soldiers and undead demons. After strengthening the former ghost, he even deliberately switched the weapon back to the [Hei Chu·Zhi Shi Lue] that used Yin and Yang magic. Decision].

However--

The feedback the Great Onmyoji received was only a thin wave of malice and muddy echoes. Although it could not be said to be very safe, it was not as 'wonderful' as imagined.

"Did you find anything?"

Peixi turned to look at Gu Xiaole and asked casually while continuing to test the stability of communication with the observation station.

Although she is not too old, Peixi has an extremely rich experience and knowledge reserve. She has never asked Gu Xiaole how strong she is, but she can always find the answers she needs directly from the other person's mouth.

"A little bit."

Gu Xiaole didn't hide it, and responded happily: "There are some unknown things ahead, but it doesn't seem very dangerous."

"Okay, thank you."

Peixi didn't mind the ambiguous answer. He simply said thank you and quickened his pace, obviously believing Gu Xiaole's statement that "there seems to be no danger" without any reservation.

Because Pei Xi is the most important 'expert' in this exploration and is one of the slowest in the team in terms of movement speed, everyone has already defaulted to letting this respectable lady control the traveling speed, so along with Pei Xi Xi changed from brisk walking to jogging, and everyone naturally quickened their pace, advancing along the passage at high speed in the slightly coquettish halo of the green lantern.

In this way, after running for about five minutes, everyone once again saw a wall-like alloy door. In this hidden area that was not included in the structural diagram, even the signs became blatant!

[The front is observation area A. Personnel below the second level are asked to stop and leave, or contact the competent department to obtain permission]

Pexi glanced at the door painted with fluorescent material, briefly translated a few sentences for everyone, took off his gloves, pressed his right hand on the cold alloy door, turned to Largo, who looked serious, and explained: "I took the time to authorize myself in the previous area. Although the level is not particularly high, it should be able to unlock this... Well, sure enough."

That's right, just before he finished speaking, with a rumbling sound, the alloy door at the end of the passage slowly sank into both sides, revealing the dark hall behind.

"If I'm not wrong, the backup energy here is a freely switching type, so since it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, there is no need for us to try to 'activate' it in vain."

Peixi made a not-so-simple summary, then put his hands in his pockets and ordered without looking back: "Xiao Le, do me a favor."

"Easy to say."

Gu Xiaole nodded, then raised his hand and waved his hand. The [Green Lantern] above everyone's heads, which did not seem to have much illuminating effect, disappeared in an instant and suddenly appeared more than ten meters away. It was supposed to be this area. The location in the center of 'Observation Area A' suddenly... became two.

The next second, the two lights turned into four lights.

In the third second, the four lights turned into eight lights.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Then, sixteen, thirty-two, and finally, the number of green lanterns was fixed at sixty-four, forming a quite beautiful matrix layout in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the sixty-four could only illuminate themselves, just like the star-like 'dots' in the night connected into a 'line'.

"When I go one step further, I can light thirty-three more lamps and add at least ten more benefits to the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts. If I can advance to the rank of legend one day, I can light the last three lamps, and when one hundred ghosts walk at night, I can light up the last three lamps. The moment the [green lamps] are extinguished at the same time, the real door to the underworld will open, which can let out bad things and put bad things in. "

While Gu Xiaole was fanning himself with the bat fan in his hand, he looked at the sixty-four [Green Lanterns] in the air that began to slowly rotate and move up and down in a way that imitated the movement of stars. He shrugged and said, "But even if I Now that we are not strong enough, it would be easy for them to take over the lighting work instead of the original light bulbs here...Oh."

The Great Yin-Yang Master did not finish his words, because the sixty-four lights suddenly shone brightly, from the original faint light to a dazzling degree, and the area written as [Inspection Area A] was presented to everyone without reservation.

"Woo."

Ji Xiaoge's body shook, and he flapped his wings twice to stabilize his body, his wide-open almond eyes were full of horror.

"Damn it."

Largo took a deep breath, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "What is this..."

Lujiang pursed his lips and subconsciously took a step back: "I always feel that it is somewhat similar to those scenes in movies with the theme of "resistance."

"I can now basically confirm that those who died there before were not wronged."

Jadka, with white hair and beard, summoned more than ten flame candlesticks out of thin air, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This place is terrible in every sense."

"Anyway, let's investigate it first..."

Mo Tan's right hand clenched subconsciously, and then he said in a reassuring voice: "There are more and more reasons to investigate clearly."

Everyone nodded silently, and then focused their attention again, casting their eyes on the dozens of pillars in [Observation Area A] that stood between the ceiling and the floor like load-bearing pillars, and at least three people were needed to hug them to surround them properly.

In terms of the materials of the pillars, the upper and lower bases and the middle section are mainly made of metal and glass cover-like things respectively, while the hollow pillars are filled with colorless liquid that is almost transparent. If you don’t look carefully, you may even think that there is nothing inside, only air.

What shocked Mo Tan and others was that in addition to the liquid that was difficult to see at a glance, there was a "person" floating in each pillar!

Humans, dwarves, elves.

Orcs, lizardmen, half-dragons.

Goblins, dwarves, harpies.

Boarmen, ogres, two-headed ogres.

Beast elves, half-beast elves, dragon eggs.

There are a total of fifteen "people" from different races in the five groups of pillars in everyone's field of vision.

Or rather... corpses.
