181 Three gates (4000)(1/2)
A bone-chilling coldness surged, which only lasted a few seconds.
The familiar bitter taste fills your mouth, and wisps of coolness appear out of thin air in your brain, making your eyes numb and swollen.
upper right corner.
"Obsession Energy:3.0→3.5"
The obsession energy of the unit was increased by 0.5 points. Before Ka Xiu performed the third retracement, he had 5.4 units of obsession energy, and the bronze ring directly consumed 2.4 units.
Opening your palms, the green jadeite shimmers slightly.
Although the obsession energy contained in it is only half a unit, it is not too little for Ka Xiu. Because obtaining obsession energy is a process of accumulating little and adding up.
He calmed down and checked again, and found that it was just an obsessive antique, not a legendary antique with a node.
So Ka Xiu returned the Doom Emerald to Yun.
All he needs is the obsessional energy contained in the jadeite. As for the ability of the jadeite to sense bad luck, Ka Xiu is not very interested. Because his own senses have also been mutated under the subtle influence of the demonic shadow, and his detection is extremely sharp.
In addition, this jade of misfortune plays an important role for Yun, and Ka Xiu will not take advantage of others. Moreover, his intention to convey goodwill to Yun also has various other considerations.
Ka Xiu was particularly interested in the identity of the Yun Treasure Hunter.
Explorers among explorers search for lost relics and mysterious treasures all year round around the world. One thing that is inseparable from relics and treasures is antiques. The quality of the antiques obtained by treasure hunters will only be better, and their origins will be more authentic and reliable.
The probability of obtaining obsessive antiques may be greater.
In addition, Yun’s so-called treasure hunter is not a tomb robber, but there are similarities. In essence, it is a high-risk and high-return investment, with the ultimate goal of obtaining precious treasures.
The Hongli Federation, and even most countries in the world, have no legal restrictions on this aspect for the time being. The relevant provisions are also vague, and there is no systematic planning and distinction.
So strictly speaking, what treasure hunters do is not illegal, and they can obtain treasures from all over the world.
This is an unpopular and remote industry.
After listening to Yun's description of his journey, Card Xiu could guess that Yun must be one of the best among treasure hunters.
There is no conflict of interest between the two. On the contrary, there is an opportunity for in-depth cooperation. Card Xiu already has some ideas in his mind.
Of course, there is no need to rush things now. The two can establish a communication channel first and then deepen their friendship later.
In the basement, except Ka Xiu, the other four people were curiously studying the red-eyed demonic shadow. Among them, Yun looked more professional, carrying a palm-sized brown tool bag with a magnifying glass and various metal instruments.
.He just squatted on the ground and studied the shadows in order.
The other three new humans gradually became aware of the aura of the demonic shadow. They felt that the creature in front of them had an inexplicable sense of oppression and attraction towards them. Although it was very weak, the feeling was tied to their hearts like a rope.
.
"Ka Xiu, I've almost finished my research." Yun stood up from the ground and stuffed small tools into his bag. He looked at Ka Xiu: "How about the two of us go to the second floor to chat?"
"Can."
Ka Xiu understood that Yun wanted to talk to him alone.
The two of them immediately left the basement and walked up the stairs to the lobby on the second floor. Card Xiu casually turned on the light next to him.
"Please sit down." He pointed to the soft sofa.
There is an area surrounded by two or three sofas and coffee tables, usually used by the host to chat with guests or friends.
"No, let's go to the balcony."
Yun looked a little mysterious and shook his head.
"Okay." Ka Xiu raised his eyebrows and walked over immediately.
On the half-moon-shaped white balcony, a chair for sunbathing is placed next to it, and three potted plants are planted under the guardrail.
"Ka Xiu, the evil spirit you encountered this time probably has a lot of background." Yun's expression became a little solemn and he said thoughtfully: "There has always been a division among our group of treasure hunters, and this division comes from the ancient treasure hunt of the Star Blue Empire.
The myth of Soma. In the myth of Soma, life fundamentally comes from the mysterious three gates..."
"Three major gates?" Ka Xiu listened attentively.
"Yes, you are a powerful warrior, and you must have heard of these three gates: body, spirit, and soul. These are the absolute elements that make up a person. Without any of these three, humans will die. The body
It’s easy to understand. As for spirit, it is something that maintains human life. You can understand it as energy, but there are some differences. In some places, spirit is also called blood or ripples..."
"Everyone has such a thing as courage. It's just a difference between being strong or not. The stronger the essence of life, the stronger the spirit will naturally be." Yun said, his eyes full of memories.
"There are even some human beings with strong enough spirit who can turn their passivity into initiative, actively control the movement of their spirit and even consume and explode..."
Hearing this, Kaxiu blinked his eyes. What Yun said seemed to be slightly related to the realm of fighters in the secret martial arts world.
If you want to change from a boxer to a fighter, it seems that you need to master the energy in the body and then combine it with the external force.
It can form a signature personal aura.
He continued to listen.
"We have just talked about the two major levels, and the remaining one is the most critical third level. Soul, or God, spirit."
"The soul cannot be seen or touched, but it is the most critical factor that governs a person's behavior and is also the most mysterious. To be honest, I once had an out-of-body experience. The feeling was extremely terrifying. I was
I felt that I had lost all the meaning of life. I was like a blind man who fell into the dark sea, flopping hard but unable to reach the bottom. Until I opened my eyes...I saw the reality like never before..."
There was a confused look on Yun's face, but his eyes instantly sobered up: "Sorry, I'm a little off topic. The three major gates I just introduced are not only related to humans, but also to evil spirits. To put it simply, evil spirits are not
complete."
"The body, the spirit, the soul. There is always one thing missing from them! It is a mutilated creature. Although I don't know why the evil spirit can still exist in a mutilated state, it just maintains such a deformed state. And,
Without a certain door, they begin to yearn for the existence of that door."
"What do you mean..." Kaxiu said as if he was enlightened.
"Yes, this is the reason why evil spirits are highly aggressive towards humans. They are different from humans. Their biggest and most fundamental desire is to open the incomplete door again. But what should they do if they don't? Of course, from humans
found!"
Yun directly explained the underlying logic of dark creatures.
"Everything seems to fit..."
Ka Xiu showed a rare shock on his face and muttered to himself.
Yun is right, dark creatures are extremely twisted and deformed creatures, and this is the reason why a certain element of a complete life is incomplete! Therefore, most dark creatures lack reason, have bloodthirsty impulses, and regard humans as food.
Because humans have three complete doors! No matter which door is missing, all dark creatures can make up for it in humans. Of course, they may also be able to quench their thirst by looking at plum blossoms.
In addition, dark creatures have different forms and abilities, which are also related to the three gates of body, breath, and soul.
Which layer is missing? How many layers are missing? How many layers are missing? How many layers are missing? Such complex changes give dark creatures a variety of strange forms.
Vampires, shadows, dead blood, enchanted demons, black elves...
There are also things that Card repair once encountered occasionally when performing extra tasks in Black Rain Villa: Ash Bones, Monster Cores, Laughing Nightmare, etc.
Yun looked at Kaxiu's thoughtful look and said, "It seems that you have already made some associations. Let me explain it more clearly..."
"We can generally divide evil spirits into three categories, one is missing the body, the other is missing the spirit, and the other is missing the soul. Of course, the specific situation is complicated, and it is just a rough division. The evil spirits missing the body are all evil spirits.
The most bloodthirsty in spirit, they often want to greedily enjoy human flesh and blood; the evil spirits lacking courage like to absorb the pure energy of human life operation, and some will live in the human body; the last type is also the most mysterious and rare one
Class, missing soul..."
Yun's tone paused slightly: "This kind of evil spirit is the most troublesome and terrifying. It has weird and unpredictable abilities, and even a little knowledge of them makes people feel daunting. The one thing the evil spirit wants to do most is to replace the target it chooses.
soul…"
"Demon Shadow." Card Xiu continued.
"Yes, through my observation. The tall brown-haired man in the basement is not the body of the demon, but a human body that was replaced by it. The reason why it shows the physical characteristics of the evil spirit is because it has been affected by the evil spirit.
Influence of spiritual power.”
"You just told me that there seems to be such evil spirits wandering around Baichuan City. I'm sure they will target you. Directly using the possessed body to fight is just a superficial method. The real danger is these demonic shadows.
Ability, they may be able to activate it unknowingly and drag you into the rules of evil spirits."
"This is quite scary... Card Xiu, you are indeed very strong. But you still have to be careful when facing more mysterious evil spirits. I treat you as a friend, so I am giving you a warning. I hope you can keep it in mind.
." Yun turned his head and looked down.
"certainly."
The strange expression on Ka Xiu's face flashed away.
In fact, what Yun said is absolutely correct. The demonic shadow is indeed extremely dangerous and its abilities are really weird. If normal people are parasitized, they can only wait to die, just like the group of poor people in the Shadowless Man Organization. They set up the organization to
Want to save myself.
But, that's nothing more than a small delay.
There are even more parasitized people who didn't even have time to join the Shadowless Man organization, and died directly when the demonic shadow appeared at the beginning. The probability of survival is one in a thousand.
Card Xiu is not among the two types of people mentioned above. It is true that Demon Shadow has weird and unpredictable abilities, but he also has a more mysterious ability to look back. And obviously, Ka Xiu has proven it twice with facts.
The demon shadow can't do anything to him.
As long as you can make progress every time by looking back at the times.
Although there are dangers, it is obviously a process that can be worked hard. Kaxiu has his own destiny in his own hands. If he cannot fulfill his obsession, then he is useless.
To be continued...
