Chapter 3828 Lich
Zuniga, who was on the rooftop, also saw Angel walking towards his building.
His eyebrows were lowered, and there was no surprise in his eyes.
He has always speculated that people from outer space might be able to observe him in some way.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the alien to interrupt his challenge twice in a row. So... the alien must have some kind of observation ability.
And, you can continue to observe yourself.
Of course, this was also an unfounded guess by Zuniga; but he never hesitated to act in the worst-case scenario, so even if it was a guess, he would keep it as an established fact in his mind.
As it turned out, his guess was most likely true.
……
"I...I, the master asked me to pick up the gentleman..." Feng Wen turned into a wisp of breeze, floated to Angel's side, and explained in a hesitant voice that he was not spying on Angel.
After saying this, Feng Wen rushed forward, turned into a translucent figure, walked in front and began to lead the way.
Although it is rumored that the boy knows, Angel probably knows where the road is.
After crossing the street, they walked into a long and narrow corridor with stairs in front of them.
The stairs looked ordinary, made of concrete and not very smooth. Just like all the buildings in the underground block, they looked complete from the outside but there were always some flaws if you looked closely.
But when Angel saw the stairs, his eyebrows raised slightly.
There is a faint energy flowing inside the stairs.
This energy was well hidden. If it was in reality, Angel would not have been able to find it. But in the copy of Dream Crystal, even though there were many energy systems, the core driver was still "power".
Angel may not be able to sense energy, but he can sense the surplus of power.
Therefore, although the energy under the stairs was well hidden, the power of authority covering it completely exposed it.
At this time, Fengwen Boy had already climbed the stairs, but did not hear Angel's footsteps. He looked back and saw Angel stopped in front of the stairs, seemingly thinking about something.
"First, sir, what's wrong?" Feng Wen looked at Angel in confusion.
Angel could sense the emotions of the Wind-Wen Boy, and from his emotions he could tell that the Wind-Wen Boy did not know the layout of the stairs.
"Nothing, let's go." Angel didn't say anything and went straight up the stairs.
At that moment, Angel had already intercepted a little bit of power to analyze. He mainly analyzed what the energy under the stairs was used for.
Was it used for a sneak attack? Or was it some kind of trap?
The power of authority quickly gave feedback: none of the above.
Although Ingres could not understand the effect of energy in more detail, he was basically certain that the energy under the stairs was a kind of "spiritual power" that had a guiding role.
This energy was most likely arranged by Zuniga.
Although Angel didn't know what he wanted to do, maybe he wanted to use the "power of the mind" to influence his judgment? However, Angel didn't care about it, because in the copy, no energy could be higher than the power of nightmare.
When Angel stepped onto the stairs, the energy hidden underneath did not change much, but it trembled slightly. And this tremor was not just on this step of stairs, but the energy under all the stairs in the entire building was trembling.
With every step Angel took forward, the vibration of that energy became more and more obvious.
Until Angel reached the stairs to the third floor.
The energy had almost turned into substance and was overflowing from under the stairs. Not to mention Angel, any magician could have noticed that something was wrong here.
It was said that the boy also realized belatedly that something was wrong.
It sensed the energy vibration under the stairs, and looked at Angel with a gloomy expression, revealing a bitter look: "I, I say, I don't know about this matter, do you believe it, sir?"
Angel smiled and said, "Believe it or not, what does it matter?"
Angel was certain that as long as he took one more step up, the vibrating energy would definitely produce new effects.
But if he doesn't step forward, or steps back, then everything will remain the same, nothing will change.
So, is Zuniga giving a "warning" or a "goodwill gesture"?
The warning is naturally because the energy is almost materialized. Any magician who sees it will know that there may be risks if they continue to move forward.
By showing goodwill, Zuniga put the matter out in the open.
He could have chosen not to do so. He could have kept the hidden energy hidden. But he chose to expose the energy at the critical point, which was actually giving Angel a choice.
You can choose to take it forward, or you can choose to give up and leave.
Is this arrogance? Ingres raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking this, the expression of Feng Wen, who was not far away, gradually changed from panic to calm, and even his emotions became peaceful.
Angel sensed it immediately and looked intently at the boy Fengwen.
It was heard that the boy was also looking at Angel, but his eyes had changed. Unlike the timid look before, it looked more like he was sizing him up.
Seeing this, Angel knew that the rumored boy was no longer controlled by himself, and Zuniga's will came in.
Sure enough, the next second, Feng Wen opened his mouth to speak.
His voice didn't change much, but it went from a slightly stuttering and childish tone to a deeper tone.
"Whether we move forward or stop, we will definitely meet again." Feng Wen said calmly, "But there are differences in meeting in different ways."
Angel: "So, you want me to move forward?"
The boy who heard the news: "The choice is yours. The only thing I can say is that I have no intention of harming anyone. Of course, you may not believe it, or even... disdain it."
If other people understood this sentence, they would probably think it was a provocation.
But through his emotional perception, Ingres was able to determine that the other party had no intention of provoking him.
Instead, he said that Ingres might be disdainful of this, which was an obvious temptation.
It was normal for powerful magicians to test each other when they did not know each other. Zuniga chose to test with words, which was at least much gentler than taking direct action.
Angel smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting you."
After saying this, Angel took a step forward and stepped onto the stairs.
At the moment when Angel stepped onto the stairs, the already vibrating energy underground reached its peak, and everything around him began to undergo some subtle changes.
I saw the walls on both sides of the stairs gradually becoming dark, with occasional flashes of colorful lights.
The stairs, which originally had some flaws, became smooth and flat, as if they were cut from polished marble.
Originally, the corridor on the fourth floor was in front, but because of this change, the corridor on the fourth floor disappeared and a long and narrow passage appeared.
At the end of the passage is a door emitting a faint red light.
Obviously, all these changes came from Angel's step just now. And this is probably the effect of Zuniga's energy arrangement in the stairs?
While Angel was thinking this, he also turned on the God's perspective to see his current situation.
Then he discovered that from a God's perspective, the building from the third floor upwards had been covered by a light shield like a bubble film.
From the outside, everything seems normal.
But only when you step in here, you will discover the abnormality inside.
However, the residents above the third floor of the building had already fallen asleep under the influence of some kind of energy. The only ones still awake were Angel and Zuniga.
Zuniga is still on the "rooftop" at this time, but the space on the rooftop has actually changed.
Angel withdrew his gaze.
Coincidentally, Fengwen heard that the boy passed by Angel and was walking forward step by step.
At the same time, Zuniga's voice was once again spoken through the mouth of the boy who heard the story: "As soon as you entered the building, you noticed something unusual, right?"
Angel was noncommittal: "Is this important?"
Zuniga: "You clearly noticed something strange, but you still stepped in. It seems that you have more support than I thought. Is this... the person from outer space?"
When Feng Wen said this, he stopped and turned to look at Angel, as if he wanted to observe Angel's expression.
However, Angel did not react to this: "The name of outsiders sounds a bit general. Perhaps you can call us challengers."
"You guys?" Something seemed to flash in Feng Wen's eyes.
Angel didn't respond. He specifically mentioned "we", which was actually a kind of advance announcement. In the future, many people will definitely come to this instance. Speaking out early will at least give Zuni some psychological preparation.
Feng Wen was silent for a moment, turned around and continued to lead the way.
Zuniga used the body of the rumored kid to lead Angel, and continued, "There are a lot of things I think it's better for us to talk about them in person."
"But before we meet, I want to tell you a story."
Angel: "Oh? What story?"
Zuniga did not explain, but started to talk directly: "I once read a travelogue. It is said that the travelogue came from a traveler in the void. He has experienced many worlds and seen many civilizations. He has seen monsters in the void and humans hiding in the abyss..."
"That travelogue made me realize that in the vast void, there is more than just the land beneath our feet."
Angel: "So, you mean to say that I am an alien from outer space. Just like that traveler?"
Zuniga shook his head. "No, I've already said it. It's more appropriate for us to talk about our affairs in person. I'm just telling another story now."
Zuniga continued, "When this travelogue came into my hands, there were only two chapters left, one about the world and one about biology. The world chapter was also damaged, and only the biology chapter was relatively intact."
"And the story I want to tell is about a monster in the chapter on biology."
"To call it a monster, it's not entirely a monster. At least the author believes that before it became a monster, it was actually a human being."
"But, he was seduced by the devil in the abyss and degenerated into a monster."
"And this type of monster has a general name, called... Lich."
What is a lich? A monster that pursues immortality is a lich.
Originally, liches were all intelligent creatures, like humans. But in pursuit of greater power and the secret of immortality, they were willing to be lured by the demons of the abyss, sacrificed their bodies through rituals, and transformed into immortal liches.
The appearance of liches is very different from that of humans, so it is not wrong to call them monsters.
However, the biggest feature of liches is that... they possess the dark power to control the undead, as well as their own undead qualities.
"Let's not talk about the power of darkness for now." Zuniga: "I am very interested in the characteristics of immortality. After all, when I was young, after mastering powerful powers, I always wanted to live a few more years."
"I specifically looked up this travelogue, and then I found that the lich's undead nature is not actually completely immortal."
"They cut off part of their flesh and soul and stored them in a special box. This box is called the Lich Box."
"Once they encounter an accident outside and are killed by powerful creatures, they can be resurrected from the Lich Box."
"So, the lich is not really immortal. As long as we find the Lich's Coffin in advance and kill the lich before it can be resurrected and set up a new Lich's Coffin, the lich will die completely."
Zuniga: "However, the liches themselves know this weakness, so they will hide the Lich Box in a place where no one knows."
"Only in this way can their immortality be truly brought into play."
Zuniga paused at this point and said, "This is the story I want to tell."
Angel silently looked at Zuniga in front of him.
He never thought that Zuniga would say something off-topic at this time, and "telling a story" was even less likely to be really "telling a story."
This story of his must contain some metaphor.
In fact, Ingres had already heard some hidden meanings, but he just needed more evidence.
However, before Angel could test him, Zuniga said, "In fact, in a way, I am similar to the lich."
Angel: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Zuniga controlled the body of the boy and smiled: "You should have some ability to monitor me? Or even hypnotize and control others?"
Angel did not answer, but asked calmly: "What do you want to express?"
Angel was not surprised that Zuniga guessed that he was being "monitored". After all, he had made two huge profits from Zuniga in a row, and Zuniga also had the ability to detect "daily news", "fixed news", "gossip", and even more... He had a logical basis to guess that he was being watched by "someone from outside the universe".
However, Angel was somewhat surprised that Zuniga could actually guess that he had the ability to hypnotize and control others.
Was it because of something he had observed at the Beverly Nursing Center?
