Chapter 1100: Qinhuai Mountain Range Underground Layer (3)
This time, there was no trace of any black aura in the smoke, and instead it was all extremely pure spiritual energy.
That's right, it's psionic energy, and there's no chill mixed in there.
My first reaction was that the thing that jumped out of the "space capsule" was not dead, and now it was a new burst of energy from him, but the thing was still lying on the ground motionless, but the fog above him became more and more agitated.
Could it be that there are other sources of energy attraction nearby?
But it's not like it, because I noticed that the aura just quickly gathered in mid-air, and then froze at a very fast speed!
Wait a minute......
Something is wrong!
These breaths ...... How do you look more and more like ...... The shape of a man?
As the breath solidified, I noticed that the shape of the man became more and more recognizable, and I recognized it completely!
What kind of fog is this! It's a ...... Ghost Kids!
This time the ghost form was the one I was most familiar with, and as the form of the ghost child became clearer and clearer, I quickly sensed an obvious energy connection.
Yes, I've had a psionic connection, or lucid dreaming connection, with this ghost kid in a short period of time.
As soon as the connection was established, I could feel part of the ghost child's mind, who was not in the slightest hostile to me now, and seemed to have been subjugated and assimilated by my psionic powers.
I was a little surprised in my heart, because in this way, the threats in the other "capsules" would be defeated, and I could also take in a new "ghost army" by the way, which was enough to make up for the loss of some of the previous resentful spirits.
I quickly walked to the vicinity of the other "space capsules", and sure enough, soon more "space capsules" stood up on their own, and broke the tempered glass on the top of the capsule and drilled out, with the experience just now, I didn't hurry and burned these Gu things in the "space capsule" to the ground with a Gu musket, without exception, all the Gu creatures began to spread out of their bodies within a minute of falling to the ground, and finally converged into more ghost children.
Well......
At the moment, it seems that I have finally figured out the origin of some of the ghost children, who were simply separated from their own corpses.
However, this is fundamentally different from the out-of-body experience, because I feel that these ghost children are still somewhat similar in some ways to the remnants of consciousness left by the resentful spirits and the remnants of consciousness left by the moon spirits in other places, although they seem to have the ability to act autonomously, but in fact they are still limited to the memory behavior of the large period before and after death, and no matter how they change, all the actions they carry out will not exceed this range.
The most obvious example is that since these ghosts are all underage children, and some are even babies, it is absolutely impossible for them to make some rational communication, and I can only communicate with them in the most childish language, sometimes even gestures.
But that's enough!
In addition to most of the children who jumped out of the "space capsule" on their own, there were still some "indifferent" "space capsules", and in order to fight for all the living forces, I decided to manually open these "space capsules", but found that only some children's corpses had long since turned into dried corpses.
It seems that some of the children did not survive and died young, and it is precisely because of this that they cannot become ghosts.
I roughly counted them, and found that the number of ghost children I had subdued now was no more, no less, exactly ten.
To my surprise, Mu Yun didn't have any surprised expressions at the existence of these ghost children, it seems that this guy should have heard of similar things before, or the appearance of the resentful spirit body has already made his cognition of things much larger than the average person.
Then I began to try to establish a further spiritual connection with these ghost children, so that they could perceive my wishes.
I don't have any other novel methods, so I still use the old way to try to radiate the energy in my body as much as possible, but this time I have determined that these ghost children rely on psionic energy to exist, so I only focus on releasing psionic energy.
This second release of psionic energy instantly made the shape of the ghost children around me a lot clearer, so that some of the ghost children were almost close to the real human form, and similarly, closer to the ghost children I saw in the basement of the reservoir castle at the beginning.
You know, when I first met them, I mistook them for real children.
I compared a little with what they had just seen when they appeared in the "space capsule", and soon found out the reason, and the root cause should still be the cold climate of Dongkou Province.
Now since these ghost children are based on psionic energy, it means that they will also be affected by the interference of the cold, and they have always been fluttering and illusory before, it must be because the spiritual energy in their bodies is too seriously suppressed by the cold, and now once they receive my new spiritual energy, they will naturally glow with a "new spring".
What's more, the spiritual energy emanating from my body is not disturbed by the cold, so ...... These ghost children should have regained all their combat strength......! Be stronger than the original!
As I expected, as my psionic energy was infused, the subtle energy connection I had made with the ghost children became stronger and more reliable, and the familiar feeling of "being one" finally appeared.
If Duan Xiaoxiao, Amy and the others were really dragged away from here by the strange force just now, then these ghost children would definitely have memories!
I immediately silently repeated these words in my head, and soon a few ghost children reacted, and they still made a gesture of pointing in mid-air as before, and I saw that the direction they were pointing in was uniform, just to the right hand of my current position!
And looking in this direction, I saw another familiar underground structure.
Such a building can almost be called the standard equipment on the basement, and it is those ring-shaped sentry posts that are usually equipped with a complete monitoring system, electrical energy system and a master console for the operation of nearby assembly lines, and sometimes a grid protection on the perimeter.
And now this sentry ...... All of these are all in place, and I even saw that the outer layer of the power grid protection is actually in operation, and there are a few faintly visible green light spots on the side of the ring sentry gate, which should be reflected from the inside of the door, which means that there is still a console in operation in the ring sentry.
I stood still and stared at the inside of the sentry for a long time, but found that it was silent, and I didn't see any figures or other animals.
It seemed that there should be no one inside, so I waved my hand to Mu Yun behind me to follow, and then slowly marched forward with the other ten ghost children.
With the protection of these ten ghost children, I have become much more down-to-earth than before, even if they are not real humans, as long as they can share the pressure for me, they can be called combat partners.
However, I still can't give them detailed combat orders, and I don't have too high expectations for them now, I just hope that they will be affected by other energies in a short period of time......
Soon approaching the perimeter of the circular sentry, I checked the location of the ghost children again, and was surprised to find that the direction they were pointing was actually inside the outpost!
I thought it just happened to be on the path, but now it seems that there is a big name here.
I threw a piece of the machine I had just picked up from the ground at the grid, which made a slight "hiss" sound, and then I crouched on the ground and circled the sentry post, and soon found the only entrance to the grid.
I saw two charred corpses at the entrance, and because even the clothes were burned, and the corpses themselves were even more damaged, so I couldn't distinguish their identities for a while.
But one thing is certain, at least they will definitely not be cold freaks, because after the cold freaks die, there will be more or less thick water left on the ground.
I don't need to be polite to these power grids now, I got a few lumps of giant pedestals directly from the nearest assembly line, and smashed them hard at the position of the entrance to the power grid, and soon I smashed a gap in the power grid here, and even some other circuits in the vicinity also appeared short circuits, and at least half of the power grid instantly lost its protective effect.
As soon as the gap was opened, I jumped in and was ready to fight, but when I kicked the door open, I found that the sentry was empty.
I was a little unwilling, so I leaned down and looked around in the cracks of some machines on the ground, and I didn't see any Duan Xiaoxiao and Amy, or anyone else.
Could it be that these ghost children have lied to me?
I immediately tried to establish a spiritual connection with the ghost children again, and did get a second reply from them, and the location they were pointing to was still at my feet, which was now within the ring sentry.
As far as I could see, there was no possibility of a secret door, because it was already underground after all, and I didn't hear a hollow sound when I banged nearby.
Also, no other circular sentry I've seen before has found deeper hidden spaces inside or outside of them.
So the problem is definitely in my space right now!
I started to re-analyze it.
Judging from the two corpses outside, someone must have tried to jump over the blockade of the power grid, but was unsuccessful, indicating that there must be something attractive here.
However, if you are a person with a normal mind, it is impossible to directly hit the power grid, so this kind of "attraction" is not an ordinary attraction, but a kind of charm! Just like the previous cold source attracted resentful spirits and cold freaks, these two attracted people simply uncontrollably and involuntarily bumped into the power grid.
And from my initial analysis on the power grid, I can know that these two are not cold weirdos, let alone resentful spirits, but two ordinary people, so ...... Who could it be?
I quickly came to the conclusion that eighty percent of them were wanderers under Zhao Youkuang! It was even possible that Zhao Youkuang himself!
After all, they have been guided by the "strange power" for a long time, and the "strange power" is obviously generated based on the cold air, so during this time, it is also possible that they will be deeply affected by the cold air.
So...... If my guess above is correct, it means that there should be a hidden energy source in this outpost, and it is very likely to be a source of cold energy!
In addition, those ghost children guided me here on the premise that I was instructed to find Duan Xiaoxiao...... So...... Could it mean that this source of cold qi is actually Duan Xiaoxiao's?
So here's the problem......
How did Duan Xiaoxiao manage to set the source here, but she didn't see it? Could it be that she had already learned the ability to use the carrier to retain her energy like the Moon Spirit?
I began a second search inside the outpost, but this time the focus had shifted from "people" to "objects", and I began to look for something that could be a carrier of the cold.
Naturally, I couldn't just rummage blindly like this, but tried my best to sense some cold fluctuations from it, and after a few experiments, I really found something suspicious!
It was a small music box on a worktop, and I sensed some cold fluctuations in it that were different from the others.
Music box...... It seems to be an object with a mysterious atmosphere by nature, and in many film and television works, all kinds of music boxes have a special role.
Now this music box is no exception, I opened it as soon as I determined the anomaly of the cold, and then I heard a scream come out.
This is clearly Duan Xiaoxiao's voice!
She seemed to be in great pain, and what worried me even more was that I was still screaming and hearing some painful moans that were obviously Amy, Amy's moans were much weaker than Duan Xiaoxiao's screams, and it felt like her life was hanging by a thread!
My heart beat faster, and I began to try to get the ghost kids to guide me again, but the position of their fingers remained the same, and it seemed that the ghost kids' guiding ability was also based on energy sensing, and now that the energy stopped, they couldn't give more information about their location.
