Chapter 473 Route B The Young King 4-3
"If there is even the most basic work package... that's great..." The mechanic scratched his head and grinned. "If that so-called scepter is at the bottom of the water, I could make the easiest radiation monitor to locate its position, and then if there is a camera, I could make a salvage equipment... But the oldest and most advanced technology product in this town is a videotape projector... If we start over from such a Stone Age, even I would have to take more than three weeks to make those things..."
It was not until it was lost that it could not realize the convenience of nanomechanics. The girl stood aside with her head hanging down...
Sadako Yamamura looked at the lake, hesitated for a while, and said softly:
"Maybe I have a way."
Lu Mengyao turned her head and looked at her.
"I... seem to have regained some of my spiritual power." Sadako Yamamura whispered.
As expected, Lu Mengyao stared at her pure black and beautiful eyes, and she couldn't see the bottom deeply, but this was just an optical effect, she told herself.
As an adventurer who is involved in this world, Sadako Yamamura, the most sensitive mind, is theoretically the easiest candidate to "see through" this world. Lu Mengyao has sufficient reason to be sure that he and his people are just living in this world in an incomplete mental form, and Sadako Yamamura, who has deeply grasped the mystery of the soul...
"This feeling is hard to describe, like...I began to touch the bottom of this world." Sadako Yamamura made a chaotic gesture, trying to express her feelings. "I can see some very regular energy flow, digging into some information that is theoretically impossible to receive..."
"What caused it?" Lu Mengyao twisted her fingers, and she had a very vague guess.
"From that 'test'." At this point, Sadako Katsuyamamura answered very clearly. "I lost some consciousness after a lot of blood loss, and then woke up. I felt that the strength had returned to part of it."
Magic scholars raised their eyebrows. In the infinite universe of the Heavenly Kingdom game, various schools of cultivation and strengthening contend. One of the more biased theories is to explain the adventurer's breakthrough in power:
"It is not the power that changes the fate of the adventurer, but his fate requires such power to move forward."
This school advocates stimulating its potential through the tempering of life and death, which is one of the highest efficiency paths to tap bloodline power. They believe in the infinite plasticity and growth of human beings, and believe that when the environment makes adventurers "need" strength, power will naturally occur from the body, which is a very crazy theory. In fact, 99% of people who rely on this theory to take risks beyond their own extreme adventures will die ugly. Therefore, this school has added many prerequisites, such as having enough potential to be stimulated, or having the vitality that cannot be killed by a hundred battles. Their famous motto is "What cannot kill you will make you stronger."
Although she has learned the concepts of various adventure schools, Lu Mengyao does not agree with this school. The plan she customized for herself has effectively enhanced her at a speed of more than thirty times that of ordinary adventurers. Scientific plans are the most efficient plans, which is her creed.
Although she did not interfere directly, she has been observing and recording the progress of the members of the team. Compared with the other two, Sadako Yamamura's progress was indeed relatively slow - it was already surprisingly rapid for ordinary adventurers - but it was still a little slower at the speed of the team's progress. The speed of this progress was not consistent with the talent she began to show. Lu Mengyao used her blood sample to test it and knew that her bloodline was excellent in the ordinary field...
What stopped her from moving forward?
She believes that Sadako Yamamura's overly restrained personality makes her not good at making breakthroughs in the cultivation of her abilities, and she can reach a very wonderful state in learning the skills of her mind, but the transformation of the essence of life and the exploration of the power in her bloodline is necessary. What is needed is confidence in herself, or very violent emotional changes, or...the training on the edge of life and death?
"What can you see now?" The magician's thoughts only stopped her for half a second. She glanced at the lake and secretly guessed what kind of danger was hidden under the calm water.
"...Another world." Sadako Yamamura seemed to be muttering when she spoke. Her deep black eyes reflected the lake in the white mist. "Under the water is another world. It is exactly the same as this world, a mirror town. And... there are other people."
"Can you see clearly?"
“…It’s hard. Please wait a moment.”
Just on the lake, about half a mile away from the three people on the shore, two black shadows stood on the calm water. The two black shadows seemed to be afraid of each other, about five meters away from each other, stepping on the water like ghosts, without any real sense of existence.
"This is not planned, until the last scene, the worlds on both sides should not be linked together." The shorter black shadow said hoarsely.
"This is allowed by the 'rules'. Plans should adapt to changes. You won't admit defeat so easily." Another black figure said in Su Jing's voice, "After all, it's my dear little Guaiguai. It's an unexpected sign that it can exceed my plan."
"Let me remind you that you have no so-called 'plan' at all. Now, the unexpected factors that a script you designed may affect my actions. Don't you think this should be deducted points?"
"This is part of the 'plan'. Although we can't attack each other, we are not prohibited from designing these guys to interfere with each other... I admit that it's a bit rogue, but don't you think it's too boring to just follow the script? If there are no variables in this world, not slightly beyond our control, and everything is in the plan, then this kind of life is too boring."
“Variables and confusion are your style, not mine.”
Although he said this, the small black shadow still acknowledged the other party's violation of the thread. As the writer of the "script", he and she are the managers of this two-sided world, and the structure of the entire world will change with their will. The script that has been written only needs to be slightly modified at the end, and may even be better than the original story.
The two figures in the fog gradually faded away.
"...The structure of this mirror is very complex. But I have found the node of energy. There is a lake bottom, but it is also a channel to another mirror world. There is a...a place with very concentrated power at the bottom of the lake."
"coordinate."
Sadako Yamamura closed her eyes slightly and stretched out her hand forward.
"I'll take you there."
Fantasy spirals intertwined into reality. The mind condenses into matter; the power of thought decomposes everything that forms the world, and then freezes into new reality again under the difference in energy.
The mind is better than things. The power of thought is above reality.
The calm lake surface was like being cut by an invisible blade, and the mist was sucked into the rift of the water flow by the vacuum air pressure, like the Red Sea in a miracle. The water surface began to separate from the embankment in front of the three people, revealing the fishy and black mud at the bottom, and the mudflats covered with water plants and living creatures extended forward, leading to the blurry distance.
“…just ahead.”
"Psychic ability... is such an interesting trick." The mechanic jumped off the bank and reached out to touch the separated water wall. It was like a vision caused by abnormal gravity, and the separated water surface had complete tension characteristics.
"I don't know how long I can support it, so we may be faster." Sadako Yamamura and Mengyao jumped to the bottom of the lake together. The magician's face was not very good. He took a few deep breaths and endured the mud that had sinking to his ankles and ran forward.
The invisible pressure accelerated her heart rate, and tiny beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. The water walls on both sides seemed to be pressed down at any time, making her feel that she wanted to vomit. She couldn't swim, and it could even be said to be afraid of water. Since the experience of almost drowning when she was a child, she has been afraid of water and fearing everything that might drown herself.
Lu Mengyao tried not to look at the crystal-like water curtains on both sides, but looked straight ahead. Every step she took would pull out the boots that were trapped in the mud from the mud. Then the next step was the same step, which consumed a lot of energy, but could not speed up. In addition, she could not see the end of this road, which made her even more anxious.
The two people following behind also suffered the same problem. Sadako Yamamura seemed to want to do something, but splitting the lake had left her time to distract herself. Gaiqi was in a very anxious mood because all her abilities were useless.
The phone rang.
"What are you going to say?" Lu Mengyao opened her phone with a snap and asked without hesitation.
[It's just a small question to ask you, my dear little poisonous snake, what does "leader" mean to you?]
“Ability and responsibility, efforts and rewards.”
【Excellent answer.】
What the hell are you trying to say? The magician pulled his feet out of the mud, and the end is ahead.
[I have read this story for you, about the young king to be crowned. His crown, his golden robe, his scepter... Does his royal power come from the inheritance of blood or his noble character? What qualities can make people recognize his sacredness as a king?]
“…from his ability.”
At the end of this road is an ancient statue sinking into the mud at the bottom of the lake. The face of the statue has long been blurred, but in his hands he raised high, there was an exquisite scepter, and the top of the scepter was a huge black pearl.
"This world is collapsing." Sadako Yamamura sobbed and squeezed out this sentence from her teeth. The three of them looked back at the same time. Cracked and fragmented in the gray lead-like sky. The whole world seemed to feel that its rules were violated. The cracks in the space crawled and spread like snakes, like glaze broken by some force.
"I want to maintain the boundary of water and finish it quickly!"
[Congratulations, dear little poisonous snake, you have come to the last step. Then, come to my side.]
Lu Mengyao's face turned blue when her phone was hung up.
Most of the statue sank in the mud, but the part exposed on the ground was more than 2.5 meters, extremely smooth and there was no place to climb. The feet were covered with mud, and there was no way to jump up or find something to bear the force...
I am... too short. I am still more than half a meter away from stretching my arms as much as possible.
"Su Jing, you fucking..."
The magician deeply felt the other party's unmistakable malice.
"How can I stop because of such stupid things!" The mechanic held her slender waist from behind and lifted her up hard. The two of them clumsily supported each other, looking for a way to exert force. The brunette girl carried her hard on her shoulders, held her hips, and raised her high with all her strength.
Lu Mengyao's feet were pulled out of the mud and slipped out of her boots. She reached out to reach the scepter in the statue's hand.
"At most ten seconds!" Sadako Yamamura screamed.
I touched it. Lu Mengyao held the scepter tightly, pulled it out with the power of her waist, and took it out of the statue's grasp.
Then, the next moment, the curtain of the water collapsed instantly, the surrounding water wall collapsed, and the turbid lake water poured down, swallowing the three of them one after another. Then the cracks in the space spread past, wrapping everything.
The third test is completed. (To be continued...)
