The sun is high - #107 - Chapter 106 Spiral

Shuge walked around Wei Lin’s captive twice, curiously looking at the unusual hair and sharp claws on the waitress who was bound by ice knives in front of him.

This is completely different from the young girl with lively temperament before.

Xiuge felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about what the other party had tried to hint to him.

“Why, are there really rat men?”

He began to talk to himself.

So Snicki, who was lying on Shuge’s shoulder, immediately made a slight protest. After spending such a long time with Shuge, this running rat had already roughly understood Xiuge with his high IQ. What is the concept of “Rat Man” in Ge’s mouth?

It determined that the “Rat Man” that its master had told about must be a great race that mastered wisdom, strength and magic at the same time. That would be the highest goal it pursued. As for the physically alienated people like the one in front of it, Humans can only be an insult to the concept of “rat people”!

“Okay, okay, you are the only one worthy of being a rat-man.”

Snicki was really noisy, so Shuge could only make a few casual remarks.

He walked to the corpse of the male waiter he had killed and carefully rummaged through his body. Soon, he found a dim nameplate on the left wrist of the corpse. It was carefully The ground has been polished, but when the light shines on it, it seems to be absorbed, and no pattern can be revealed at all.

“The materials used…seem to be consistent with the stone statues in the room.”

Xiuge made a silent judgment. He took off the nameplate, then turned around, his back to Wei Lin, and mobilized the power of the messenger in the mirror.

The fog appeared from his eyes. Under the special vision, the nameplate in the palm gradually became transparent, and the patterns hidden under the special material gradually appeared.

He first saw a sun hidden in the darkness. There seemed to be a slightly open eye in the center of the sun.

This is the pattern of the Black Sun Society, and Shuge is too familiar with it.

No way, I used to see this thing on the wall even when I went to the bathroom at work.

Later, when the game was about to be launched, the publicity colleagues of the project team spread all kinds of resources everywhere. No joke, even the cats kept in the company knew the logo of the Black Sun Society. How to draw.

Xiuge turned the nameplate over, and he saw a short series of numbers at the bottom.

“026.”

So Xiuge put away the nameplate, and then came to the waitress’s side. With Weilin’s help, he rolled up her sleeves and found a similar nameplate on her right wrist.

This time the number is “039”.

“Did you find anything?”

Xiuge reached out and rubbed the nameplate, looked up at the waitress who was still struggling, and said: “It is the work of the Black Sun Society, but these waiters should not be members of the society, but more like their… The total number of experimental subjects or modified guards may exceed 40.”

Probably because Shuge was a little too close, the waitress turned her head sharply, opened her mouth fiercely, and let out a threatening roar.

Xiuge did not dodge. He stared at the distorted face in front of him and said: “I have seen her in the hotel before. At that time, she was still no different from ordinary people… so I am not sure about the changes in these people. Is it reversible?”

“I might have a way to verify this.”

Wei Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, waved her hand, and pushed Xiuge aside.

The next moment, her mage hand hovered in front of the waitress’ body, and in order to further restrict the target’s movement, more ice blades emerged, re-piercing and fixing the waitress’s newly freed arm.

“Give me some time… maybe a few minutes, I want to try to conduct a ‘spiritual interrogation’ on her.”

“Psychic interrogation? Here?”

“Um.”

Wei Lin nodded, and then she took out a high-quality crystal from her pocket. While absorbing the magic power from it, she explained: “The essence of spiritual interrogation is actually to have a huge impact on the target’s spirit and will. In this Under such an impact, any ritual that operates on its spiritual basis will be forced to interrupt.”

“If this change in their bodies is reversible, then under the current circumstances, this method can be used to force the termination of the ritual… Mr. Shuge, she shouldn’t be your friend, right?”

Shuge shook his head. Faced with this situation, he had no better suggestions, so he honestly stepped aside. Snitch, the running rat, also ran out again and began to explore and patrol the underground floors. .

The scene that happened in Ernst’s old house once again appeared in front of Shuge. He saw Weilin’s mage hand gently pressing on the forehead of the waitress, and then Weilin’s magic power came out. Directly “pour” into the other party’s spiritual world.

The severely distorted face of the young girl froze at this moment, and her constantly twisting body gradually stopped.

Wei Lin held the magic crystal and stood in the corridor like a beautiful statue. Xiuge saw that the light blue magic light was constantly flashing in her eyes, as if the mage’s hand was constantly shining from the other side. It’s like grabbing memories from the spiritual world and transporting them to Wei Lin’s mind.

On the other side, under the command of Shuge, the Running Rat searched in the direction where the two waiters appeared. When it reached the middle of the long corridor, it found a room between rooms numbered 214 and 215. A half-open door. The material of the door looks exactly the same as the wall. In the dim light, it is difficult to detect its existence by sight alone.

Shuge controlled Sniqi to get into it, and found that behind the secret door was a hidden spiral staircase. Apparently this staircase connected to other underground floors, and the two waiters followed this The passage comes here.

“Well……”

Xiuge heard a muffled groan coming from beside him. He quickly interrupted the sensory sharing with Snicki and turned to look in the direction of Weilin, only to see that she had finished the “spiritual interrogation” process at this moment. , the mage’s hand that was supposed to be suspended in front of the waitress disappeared without a trace, and Weilin herself took two steps back, leaned her body against the wall, frowned and pressed her temples with her hands.

On the other side, the young waitress who had been subjected to the magic of “Spiritual Interrogation” fell into a state of complete sluggishness. Xiuge noticed that the symptoms of the mutation in her body began to subside, and the ferocious and twisted face was gradually turning toward With the normal direction change, the sharp claws on the palms and the gray-black hair on the skin began to gradually turn into a faint magical mist…

“Miss Wei Lin?”

“It’s okay…let me take a moment.”

Weilin responded softly, closed her eyes that were still shining with ice blue light, pursed her lips and began to adjust her breathing. After a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised her head. Headed.

“My previous ideas were a little too simple…”

The magical light that flickered in Weilin’s eyes finally went out, but she still frowned. It was obvious that the headache symptoms had not completely dissipated: “The changes in their bodies are different from the normal ‘wolf plague’ disease. The power of magic rituals not only affects her Her body was also disrupting her spirit. I couldn’t clearly perceive her memories and thoughts, and everything was in a mess.”

“If you want to figure out what happened to them and make them completely return to normal, I’m afraid we will need specialized healing mages and laboratories.”

After saying that, Weilin raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

The ice blades that had impaled and restrained the waitress immediately dissipated.

The next second, a new magic took effect on the spot. Xiuge saw several translucent arms with powerful power appearing in the air. They accurately grabbed the limbs of the unconscious waitress, and then forcefully A twist.

A heartbreaking crisp sound was heard, and then the arms disappeared, leaving the waitress’s severely twisted body on the ground.

“The stream-level limb destruction technique… Although the name is scary and the process of casting the spell is very unpleasant, it is a must-learn course for all stream-level spellcasters and above. It is specially used to impose heavy restraints on certain dangerous enemies. At the same time, it also corresponds to the ‘limb healing technique’ in healing magic.”

Vaelin quickly gave a brief explanation of her “brutal act”, then she tore a page from the magic book with healing magic on it and gently threw it on the waitress. , the light green light symbolizing life immediately poured into the wounds on her body, causing them to quickly stop bleeding.

“Drag her to the elevator…”

After listening to Wei Lin’s words, Shuge nodded, so he immediately took action and used Charron’s touch to bring the already miserable waitress to the elevator.

In terms of “how to deal with prisoners”, Weilin adopted a relatively compromise and safe approach.

The purpose of using magic to break the target’s limbs is to impose restraints and ensure that they will not become new hidden dangers.

The purpose of using healing magic to repair bleeding wounds is to preserve the possibility of the target’s survival.

But as to whether Wei Lin did this out of temporary goodwill, or whether she was simply curious about the magic of the Black Sun Society, this was not something Xiuge could guess.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, this can indeed be regarded as a “merciful optimal solution”.

…

The appearance of the two waiters actually revealed the fact that the owner of this “underground mansion” was most likely aware of the existence of the “uninvited guest”. Therefore, after handling the matters at hand, the two They speeded up their march in unison, and with the running rat opening the way, the two quickly stepped into the hidden spiral staircase and headed deeper underground.

There are a large number of magic lines engraved on the walls of the stairs. They are like decorative patterns, extending from the highest point of the wall, covering every stone brick and step here. There are no handrails on the spiral staircase, so the ones close to the center The location formed a terrifying dark well.

“Permanently consolidating the large-scale extension ceremony, the actual underground space may be larger than we imagined.”

Wei Lin once again gave her professional answer: “The actual height of this underground mansion should have exceeded six floors, and the thickness between each floor is also exaggerated…probably because ordinary thickness building materials cannot be used. To withstand the overly complicated Eternal Secret Ritual.”

“Oh, it is a bit wasteful to have this kind of construction technology but only use it to create underground lairs. If some monarchs or kings who love marvelous buildings know about this, maybe the members of the Black Sun Society will be arrested and used as full-time workers. Architectural designer.”

Wei Lin frowned: “Is there such a king?”

“Uh… Yes, but it should be on the land on the other side of the ocean.”

Xiuge made nonsense: “I heard that monarchs in some Eastern countries have a strong pursuit of magnificent buildings, and sometimes they even launch massive wars against neighboring countries because of certain magnificent wonders.”

“interesting.”

Wei Lin raised her eyebrows. She wanted to question Shuge’s nonsense, but before she could speak, a heart-beating magic wave was transmitted over.

The two of them closed their mouths at the same time, and then looked up together.

At this moment, Xiuge’s perception was clearer than Weilin’s. In the darkness above, he clearly captured a trace of invisible power that was closely related to his metal disk. This power felt so depressing. And darkness, very similar to the cold feeling exuded by those ancient creations in the dream sanctuary.

“Trouble.”

Shuge murmured, but before he could react further, a black shadow fell from the top of the spiral staircase. Under the illumination of the magic wall lamp, the shadow fell in front of Shuge and the two of them. In the distance, he struggled twice and then got up.

That’s a mouse.

A larger but equally deformed blind mouse.

The corners of Weilin’s mouth trembled violently. Under the influence of her natural instinct, her face turned pale again. She spread out the magic book in her hand and wanted to cast a spell, but Xiuge on the side suddenly stretched out her hand. He grabbed her wrist firmly.

Then, Wei Lin heard Shuge’s cry.

“It’s raining! Let’s go quickly!”

The brief blank moment in her brain made her instinctively choose to trust Shuge’s judgment, but before the two of them had run a few steps, the strange words that Shuge had just yelled were most thoroughly confirmed.

As the dark magic continued to approach, noisy sounds began to come from the top of the stairs, and then, a large number of black shadows sloping down the spiral staircase and the stairwell like a flood.

It did rain.

It’s just raining rats.
