Chapter 1097 - Mechanical Carrier (5)
At first, I thought it was the internal malfunction of the machine, and that it was the smoke that was left after the embers of the fire, but if I looked closely, I could tell that this was not the case at all, because the smoke was quite pure, and there was not the slightest hint of smoke magazines, indicating that this smoke could only be produced by energy, and to put it bluntly, it was still a matter of resentful spirits.
This is also evidenced by the concentrated water that is everywhere here.
When I saw the green smoke coming out, I immediately took a few steps back, holding the mountain sword and ready to face the resentful spirit that might appear, but after the green smoke rose into the air, it only circled for a while, and then dissipated......
This time, I could see clearly, as the green smoke dissipated, some droplets of thick water gradually fell from mid-air like rain, and after falling to the ground, they became the thick water on the ground in front of them.
The resentful spirit did not appear, but was more like it was dispersed directly in the air by an invisible force.
My eyes began to look at the main part of the machine, which was full of gears...... This time I saw it more clearly, no matter how I looked at it, the machine looked like a toolbox full of gear pendants, the structure inside was not ordinarily complicated, in addition to the regular electrical components, I even saw some bizarre, unnamed parts, and finally I found a small black rag doll in a hollow hole in the innermost part.
These things were piled up in such a mess that I couldn't figure out what to do for a long time.
I was holding the rag doll in my hand, and I noticed that it looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before......
Where is it?
Well......
Not in reality, but in ...... In a lucid dream!
I remember!
Moon Ling had previously shown me the life of her and her sister Moon Dust when they lived in the villa area, and there was a scene where Moon Dust was sick and Moon Spirit came to visit and take care of her.
It was in this scene that I saw many various rag dolls appear in Yuechen's bedroom, and this rag doll was one of them.
The reason why I can remember it so clearly is because the shape of this rag doll is a bit chic, and it can even be described as weird, because its shape is closer to the kind of Gu poison doll that people who practice witchcraft like to use, and it looks quite crazy.
And now this rag doll in my hand is like this, except that it is covered with thick water and engine oil dust, the rest of the place is exactly the same as the doll in the lucid dream!
As soon as I thought of this, I felt that this rag doll was a little disgusting, but before I could throw it away, I found that a thick water suddenly erupted from the doll's body, and then a puff of green smoke came out.
This time the water flowed directly to my hands, down my arms all the way to the rest of my body, and I hurriedly shook off the rag doll, but still a lot of thick water got on my waist and legs.
I immediately felt that the thick water began to move on the surface of my body as if it was carrying life, I hurriedly wiped it with my clothes a few times, and then I felt a burst of burning sensation, and then some white spiritual energy naturally appeared on the surface of my body, and these breaths mixed with the thick water for a while, and then the burning sensation was removed.
I seem to suddenly understand the way those resentful spirits attack ordinary people, if these thick water has a harmful effect on people's skin, I am afraid that at least half of those who are attacked by resentful spirits are due to this, no wonder I noticed that all people who are haunted by resentful spirits will make expressions as if they have been burned.
It seems that the danger of this concentrated water is still very great, and it is necessary to remember this and tell other people to avoid accidental injury.
After I cleaned the thick water on my body, in order to completely eradicate the trouble, I simply lit a fire and tried to burn the doll, but I was surprised to find that the doll couldn't be lit, and then I had an idea and shot the doll directly with a Gu musket.
......
Sure enough, as soon as the doll was bewitched, it immediately burned a raging fire, and at the same time, a black smoke rose from the flames again, and then I was not surprised to see the figure of Yuechen appear in front of me.
This is undoubtedly a consciousness body based on some kind of energy and remnants, not a real body, but much more weird than the real body, after the illusion of this moon dust appeared, it showed a chilling evil smile, like the kind of little girl who was possessed by a ghost.
However, before she could say something that made me uncomfortable this time, she was engulfed again by the Gu fire that followed, turning into the last cloud of green smoke and dissipating......
At the same time, I heard a series of electric currents coming from the groove where the rag doll had just been taken out, followed by a small slight explosion, and the place fell completely silent.
Now I can clearly feel that the energy fluctuations in this place have completely returned to normal, because I can no longer feel the slightest "alien" energy in my body, and my Gu worm is now even more "languishing" to the extreme, its body no longer emits any light, and then it simply flew back into my pocket.
It feels like this Gu worm has used my pocket as its nest.
So far, the bond I have made with my own Gu worm seems to be stronger and stronger than before, because we have already gone through a severe test, and this Gu worm has finally not been bewitched by other energies to attack me at the last moment.
This is a bit similar to the meaning of "if you don't die in a great disaster, there will be a blessing in the future", since even this life-and-death test has passed, I believe that in the future, my Gu worm will no longer be affected by the Moon Spirit, and just like what Nie Bi said to the Moon Spirit Illusion in the spirit world before, the owner of my Gu worm is no longer the Moon Spirit, but its original host, that is, myself!
That rag doll has been burned beyond recognition by Gu fire, since this thing can be burned like this by Gu fire, it means that this thing itself has been contaminated by various Gu natures, I have just burned the spiritual energy or other energy in it, so this rag doll has not completely turned into ashes, but still has a basic shape frame.
But because of this, I was able to see more of the doll.
I was amazed to find that there were a lot of plug wires connecting to the circuit behind the rag doll, and I moved my eyes back to the groove where it was, and I saw at a glance that there were many circuit connection holes around the groove, and there was even a clearly recognizable socket trace.
Could it be ......
This doll is actually connected to electricity?
I felt a little unbelievable, but what had happened before, including the strange sound of gears, the sound of the announcement, and the situation in front of me now, had to make me think again......
That's ......
The remnants of consciousness here are actually connected to mechanical circuits!
And based on the two-month spirit carrier I encountered before, I can be sure that this encounter must be one of them, so ...... The whole mechanical architecture here...... All of them were built for the continued existence of the moon spirit's carriers?
This...... Actually a "mechanical carrier"?
However, this is just my own unilateral conjecture for the time being, and I have to go back and consult with Gochai and other Burmese Gu masters in stock.
Finally, I searched the place thoroughly again, and after making sure that there were no other resentful spirits or Gu remains, I returned to it.
The semi-infected people above and Mu Yun had been waiting so anxiously that no one asked me about the situation after I came out, but just told me to take them away quickly.
When I looked back, I realized that there was now a blood-colored cloud in half of the night sky, and from time to time there would be a flash of terrible lightning in these clouds, which made people's scalp tingle.
It seems that the matter of the Moon Spirit coming to Dongkou Province is already a certainty, it was just a guess before, but now it has been hammered, and these clouds and mist formed by the aggregation of powerful spirits have so far only been created by the Moon Spirit at will.
I quickly located the area covered by this cloud and mist, and found that it was in the area south of the Qinhuai Mountains, that is, the area where the Voodoo Sect attacked the Qinhuai Mountains, so it seems that the Moon Spirit does have a great connection with this attack, even if it is not the initiator, it is also an "accomplice".
"Xiao Chen, hurry up and go!" Mu Yun naturally knew the power of these blood-colored clouds, and told me with a pale face that it would be too late if he didn't leave.
But it's impossible for me to leave now, the reason is very simple, Duan Xiaoxiao and Amy haven't found it yet, aside from the feelings, the super cold ability on Duan Xiaoxiao's body alone can't let me leave it alone, if Duan Xiaoxiao is found by the moon spirit, maybe Duan Xiaoxiao will be used by the moon spirit, and then the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
I glanced at the other semi-infected people behind Mu Yun, thinking that I could let them evacuate on their own first, these people had been lurking in the Qinhuai Mountains for a long time, and they must be quite familiar with the nearby terrain, so there should be no danger in letting them leave by themselves.
At that moment, I told them a few points of our attack in the eastern part of the Qinhuai Mountains, and asked these people to cooperate with our feint attack if conditions permit, and after that, they can go directly to the No. 2 stronghold along the mountain road, where I have left the relevant personnel in advance to arm, as long as these semi-infected people say my name, they will be temporarily accepted, and they can officially join us after I go back to confirm my identity.
But well...... It is still debatable whether this group of semi-infected people will eventually become one of us, because until now, what they have identified as "new gods" in my mouth, and I don't know if they will join us after learning the truth, but there is no other way to replace them, so it can only be done for the time being.
These half-infected people are extremely loyal to the new gods, and I am now "noble" as the envoy of the new gods, so they are naturally very worried about my safety, and after I first said this suggestion, all the half-infected people objected, saying that they would swear to protect me to the death and act with me, and then agreed to leave first under my persuasion.
This would explain why they had killed more than half of them by the Resentful Spirit before, and they still had no complaints against me......
But the more they do this, the more worried I become, because it means that I will have a lower chance of reconciling with them in the future.
Mu Yun is the opposite of those half-infected, he strongly asks to leave with him first, but I'm not that stupid, not to mention that Mu Yun has a high chance of running away with those half-infected, and it is very likely that those half-infected people will kill him halfway if they see him unhappy.
When my persuasion failed several times, I simply threatened Mu Yun with death, and he agreed to it.
Now those blood-colored clouds have no intention of moving forward for the time being, and I can clearly hear countless fierce gunshots and shouts from the south, it seems that the battle has reached a white-hot stage, and the blood-colored clouds in the sky are not advancing, I am afraid that it is also to support the voodoo offensive over there.
With all the battle lines concentrated in the south and east, the loitering near the headquarters being lost by mysterious forces, and the disappearance of the resentful spirits nearby, we are the quietest area here, which is a bit of an "eye of the storm", and the closer you get to the center of the storm, the more peaceful everything becomes.
It is precisely because of this peace that I have the mood to reorganize what happened before.
My current focus is naturally on the whereabouts of Duan Xiaoxiao and Amy.
Judging from the information that Mu Yun said at the beginning, Zhao Youkuang and the others were pulled into the no-man's land by a strange force along with the cable car, and eighty percent of this strange force was also due to cold energy.
Because spiritual energy can't have an effect on non-Gu things, and only cold qi can do it.
Then Duan Xiaoxiao and Amy, who were ordered to intercept Zhao Youkuang, are likely to also be on the same path, which can also be partially proved from the corpse of the cold stranger.
And now the point in the entire no-man's land that is most likely to form that huge strange force is probably the "mechanical carrier" that I just destroyed, so I can start a second round of search with the center of this point circle.
But time doesn't allow me to look for a little bit, and I now have to pinpoint it from a macro perspective as soon as possible.
And since they were pulled here with the cable car, they were pulled here by strange forces...... Then I can first search for traces of cable cars nearby...... After all, the target of the cable car is much larger than the corpse, and it is not susceptible to the disintegration of energy.
Thinking of this, I ordered Mu Yun to wait where he was, while I climbed up the tallest pine needle tree nearby.
I'm not worried that Mu Yun will take this opportunity to escape, because he is not a fool either, he should know very well that without the protection of others, he is looking for death if he walks around here by himself.
