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 outside the world might be able to observe him through some method.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone from outside the world to interrupt his challenge twice in a row. So... people from outside the world must have some kind of observation ability.
And, you can continue to observe yourself.
Of course, this is also an unfounded guess on the part of Zuniga; but he has never been afraid to act in the worst case scenario, and even if it is a guess, he treats it as an established fact in his heart.
Facts have proved that his guess is most likely true.
…
"I...I, the master asked me to come and pick up Mr...." The boy who heard about it turned into a wisp of breeze and floated to Angel's side. He explained in a voice that sounded a little concerned that he was not spying on Angel.
After finishing speaking, the Wenwen boy jumped forward, turned into a translucent figure, walked in front and began to lead the way.
Although I heard that the boy knew it, Angel most likely knew where the road was.
After crossing the street, they walked into a long and narrow corridor with stairs in front of them.
The stairs look ordinary. They are made of concrete and are not very smooth. Just like all the buildings in the underground block, they look complete from the outside, but there are always some flaws when you look closely.
But when Angel saw the stairs, he raised his brows slightly.
Inside the stairs, there is faint energy flowing.
This energy is well hidden. If it were in reality, Angel would definitely not be able to find it. But in the copy of Dream Crystal Plains, even though there are many energy systems, the core is still driven by the "power of power".
Angel may not be able to sense energy, but he can sense the rise and fall of power.
Therefore, although the energy under the stairs is well hidden, the power of power overlays it, completely exposing it.
At this time, it was heard that the boy had already climbed the stairs, but did not hear Angel's footsteps. When he looked back, he saw Angel stopping in front of the stairs, seeming to be thinking about something.
"First of all, sir, what's wrong?" The Wenwen boy looked at Angel in confusion.
Angel can sense the emotions of the rumored boy. From his emotions, it can be seen that the rumored boy does not know the layout of the stairs.
"Nothing, let's go." Angel said nothing and stepped directly onto the stairs.
At that moment, Angel had intercepted some power for analysis. His main analysis was, what is the use of the energy under the stairs?
Is it used for sneak attacks? Or is it some kind of trap?
Power of Power was quick to give feedback, it was none of the above.
Although Angel was unable to understand the effect of energy in more detail, he was basically certain that the energy under the stairs was a "spiritual force" 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 "spiritual power" to influence his judgment? However, Angel didn't care about this, 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 there was a slight tremor. And this tremor was not just for this staircase, but for the energy under all the stairs in the entire building.
They are all trembling.
Every time Angel took a step forward, the tremor of energy became more and more obvious.
Until Angel came to the stairs on the third floor.
That energy has almost turned into substance and overflowed from the bottom of the stairs. Not to mention Angel, any magician can find something abnormal here at this time.
I heard that the boy also realized something was wrong belatedly.
It sensed the tremor of energy at the bottom of the stairs, then looked at Angel, who had a gloomy and uncertain expression, with a bitter look on his face: "I, I said, I don't know about this matter, sir, do you believe me?"
Angel smiled: "Believe it or not, what does it matter?"
Angel can be sure that as long as he steps up one more level, the trembling energy will inevitably have new effects.
But if he doesn't step forward or retreat, then everything will remain the same and there will be no changes.
So, is Zuniga "warning" or "showing goodwill"?
The warning is naturally because the energy is almost substantial. Any magician who sees it will know that it may be risky to continue moving forward.
As a show of goodwill, Zuniga made this matter obvious.
In fact, he didn't have to do this at all. He could keep the hidden energy hidden. But he chose to expose the energy at a critical point. This was actually giving Angel a choice.
You can choose to step in, or you can choose to give up and leave.
Is this arrogance? Angel raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking this, the expression of the Fengwen Boy not far away slowly changed from panic to calmness, and even his mood became calmer.
Angel sensed it immediately and looked intently at the Fengwen boy.
It was rumored that the boy was also looking at Angel, but his eyes changed. It was different from the timid look before, and it looked more like he was sizing him up.
Seeing this, Angel knew that the Hearing Boy was no longer in control of it, and Zuniga's will had come in.
Sure enough, the next second, the Wenwen boy spoke.
His voice didn't change much, but it changed from the slightly stuttering and childish tone before to a deeper tone.
"Whether we move forward or stop, we will still meet." The Feng Wen boy said lightly: "But there are differences in the different ways of meeting."
Angel: "So, you want me to move forward?"
Rumor Boy: "The choice is yours. The only thing I can say is that I have no harmful intentions. Of course, you may not believe it, or even...disdain it."
If other people understand this sentence, they will most likely think it is an aggressive method.
But through his emotional perception, Angel was able to determine that the other party had no intention of provocation.
Instead, he said that Angel might be disdainful of this, which was an obvious temptation.
When they don't know each other or understand each other, it's normal for powerful magicians to come into contact and test each other. Zuniga chose to use words to test, which is at least much gentler than direct action.
Angel smiled: "I'm looking forward to meeting you."
After speaking, Angel stepped forward directly and stepped onto the stairs.
The moment Angel stepped onto the stairs, the already trembling energy in the underground reached its peak, and everything around him began to undergo some subtle changes.
I saw that the walls on both sides of the stairs slowly became dark, and occasionally there were colorful streams of light flashing.
The stairs, which were originally imperfect, became smooth and flat, as if they were cut from polished marble.
Originally, there was a corridor on the fourth floor ahead, but because of this change, the corridor on the fourth floor also disappeared, and instead a long and narrow passage appeared.
At the end of the passage is a door with a faint red light.
Obviously, all these changes originated from Angel's step just now. Is this probably the effect of Zuniga's arrangement of energy in the stairs?
When Angel was thinking this way, he also turned on God's perspective and wanted to see his current situation.
Then he discovered that from God's perspective, the building was covered by a light barrier that looked like a bubble of water from the third floor up.
From the outside, everything seems normal.
But only when you step here will you discover the anomalies inside.
However, all the residents on the third floor and above of this building had fallen asleep under the influence of some kind of energy. The only ones still awake were Angel and Zuniga.
Zuniga is still on the "roof" at this time, but the space on the roof has actually changed.
Angel withdrew his gaze.
By chance, I heard that the boy passed by Angel and was walking forward step by step.
At the same time, Zuniga's voice once again came out through the mouth of Fengwen Boy: "As soon as you entered the building, you noticed something abnormal, right?"
Angel was noncommittal: "Is this important?"
Zuniga: "Even though I noticed something strange, I still stepped in. It seems that you have more support than I thought. Is this... someone from outside the world?"
When the boy said this, he stopped and turned to look at Angel, as if he wanted to observe Angel's expression.
However, Angel had no reaction to this: "The title "Outlander" sounds a bit general. Maybe you can call us challengers."
"You guys?" Something seemed to flash in the eyes of the Wenwen boy.
Angel did not answer. He specifically pointed out "we", which was actually a kind of announcement in advance. In the future, many people will definitely come into this dungeon. Tell him earlier, at least to give Zuni some psychological preparation.
The Wenwen boy was silent for a moment, turned around, and continued to lead the way.
While Zuniga used the body of the Hearing Boy to guide Angel, he continued: "There are many things to say, and I think it would be better if we meet in person."
"But before we meet, I want to tell a story first."
Angel: "Oh? What story?"
Zuniga did not explain, but started talking directly: "I once read a travel diary. That travel diary was said to be from a traveler in the void. He experienced many worlds and saw many civilizations. He
I have seen monsters in the void, and I have also seen humans hiding in the abyss..."
"That travel journal made me know that the land beneath our feet is not the only one in the vast void."
Angel: "So, you want to say that I am an alien from another world, just like that traveler?"
Zuniga shook his head: "No, I have already said that it is more appropriate to discuss our matters in person. I am just telling another story now."
Zuniga continued: "When this travel book came into my hands, there were only two chapters left, one was the world chapter and the other was the biology chapter. The world chapter was also damaged, and only the biology chapter was still intact.
A little more complete.”
"And the story I want to say is the story of a monster in the creature chapter."
"It is said that it is a monster, but it is not entirely a monster. At least the author believes that before it became a monster, it was actually a human being."
"It's just that he was tempted by the demon in the abyss and degenerated into a monster."
"And this kind of monster has a common name, called... lich."
What is a lich? Those who pursue immortal monsters are called lichs.
Liches were originally intelligent beings, such as humans. However, in order to pursue more powerful power and pursue the mystery of immortality, they were willing to be seduced by the demons of the abyss, sacrificed their bodies through rituals, and transformed into immortal lichs.
.
The appearance of lichs is very different from humans, so it is not wrong to say that they are monsters.
However, the biggest feature of lichs is... they master the dark power to control the undead, and they possess the characteristics of immortality.
"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 power, I always thought about living a few more years."
"I checked this travel journal specifically, and then I discovered that the lich's immortality is not actually completely immortal."
"They separated part of their flesh and soul from their souls and stored them in a special box. This box is called the Lich's Box."
"Once they encounter an accident outside and are killed by powerful beings, they can be resurrected from the Lich's Box."
"So, the lich is not really immortal. As long as the lich box is found in advance and the lich is killed after resurrecting before it has time to install a new lich box, then the lich will be completely destroyed.
die."
Zuniga: "However, the lich themselves also know this weakness of their own, so they will hide the lich box in a place that no one knows."
"In this way, their immortality can truly be brought into play."
When Zuniga said this, he stopped: "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 stories" could not really be "telling stories."
His story must have a metaphor.
Angel had actually heard some implication, but he just needed more evidence.
However, before Angel could test him, Zuniga took the lead and said: "Actually, from a certain perspective, I am similar to a lich."
Angel: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Zuniga controlled the boy's body and smiled: "You should have some ability to monitor me, right? Can you even hypnotize and control other people?"
Angel did not answer, but calmly said: "What do you want to express?"
Angel was not surprised that Zuniga could guess that he was being "surveilled". After all, he had made two huge profits from Zuniga in a row, and Zuniga also owned "Daily News" and "Destined News"
", "Gossip" and other investigative abilities, and maybe even more... He can guess that he has been being watched by "people from outside the world", which is supported by logic.
However, Angel was a little surprised that Zuniga could actually guess that he had the ability to hypnotize and control others.
Is it because of what he observed at the Beverly Nursing Center before?
