Aaron locked onto a Chaos Vision on the southern outskirts of Shenjiang City.
The official name given by Yanhuang here is "City of Mist".
This chaotic horizon is not ordinary, because it not only appears in Shenjiang City, there are three stable chaotic horizons with the same characteristics in Yanhuang. And not only Yanhuang, but even the shadow of this horizon appears from time to time all over the world.
Its main environment is a lost ancient city shrouded in gray fog, which seems to never reach the end. It hides many unbearable ruins, weird monsters, and mysteries that are refreshed in every corner of the city from time to time.
Treasure chest.
This is a horizon that has attracted considerable attention around the world. Its secrets have not yet been revealed by anyone, and therefore it is impossible to effectively prevent this chaotic horizon from continuously coming to reality.
Fortunately, the current threat level of this chaos horizon is not high. Every time it appears, it is quickly controlled because its characteristics of gray and white fog are too obvious. The scale of the ordinary fog city is not large, and it is suppressed by the puppet masters for a while.
In a matter of time, ranging from a week or two to a few hours, the small foggy city will disappear.
Only a few large-scale arrivals will cause some trouble, but the official has rich experience in dealing with the city of fog. Today, there are only single digits in the world. They appear early and are not contained in time, resulting in the fact that they have always been in reality.
The solidified city of fog exists.
Among them, there are three places in Yanhuang, and the one in Shenjiang City is one of them.
Fortunately, except for the occasional peak period when monsters appear in the City of Mist, the benefits it brings on weekdays are still considerable. Because the City of Mist has a special treasure chest mechanism, even if it is a place that has been explored early, on a certain day
At some point, a treasure chest of unknown origin may suddenly appear.
The treasure chest may contain only ordinary materials, or low-quality doll cores, but it may also contain very precious materials, and even legendary doll cores have been recorded.
Where did the treasure chest mechanism come from, and what is it for? People in this world still don’t understand it. It’s like someone is taking special care of people and making the City of Mist a good place like a “newbie village”.
But people can't stop at things they can't figure out. The wealth hidden in the foggy city has attracted countless puppet masters.
As one of the top ten places in the country for resident Chaos Vision, even the Puppet Master often visits the place to explore the unexplored depths of the fog.
Online information shows that about six months ago, a team composed of three puppet masters and related researchers went deep into the fog and brought back a stone slab.
This slate was guarded by a giant beast that breathed out gray mist. The three masters suffered heavy losses in the battle with the giant beast. One of the masters' one-piece doll was even destroyed on the spot. In the end, they finally won it with many dangers.
The slate escaped from the mist.
Fortunately, the giant beast seemed to have a fixed range of activities and could not be chased out. Otherwise, based on the descriptions of the three masters, another catastrophe would have hit the city.
The research on this stone tablet has been led by Yanhuang, and experts from various countries have been invited to start research, but no news has been released so far.
The information related to the above slates was found on the clever forum affiliated to the Puppet Masters Association.
There are often some big bosses who open small accounts hidden on Jiqiao Forum, so the atmosphere there is quite good. After all, no one wants to offend a real boss by making rude remarks. Even if the forum strictly keeps user information confidential, it is still very annoying to offend a boss.
It’s hard to sleep and eat well. And the level promotion of Jiqiao Forum also has a rigid requirement for the quality of posts, so those with high levels must be somewhat genuine.
The poster of the breaking news post that Alon found has a level as high as 16. The current highest level of the forum is level 21. Anyone above level 14 is basically a big boss with various special channels, and their credibility is guaranteed.
The popularity of this post has not dropped much in half a year. Many people in the industry are watching, and it seems that someone has revealed that the original poster is someone from the research team.
When I scrolled to the bottom, the original poster sent a photo, which showed a dark stone slab.
Aaron's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
After roughly browsing the replies below and feeling that he couldn't collect any more useful information, he closed the web page and turned his head: "Yue Tomb, get ready to go out."
no respond.
Aaron got up in confusion, searched around the room, and finally saw the little clay figure curled up in a ball on his single bed.
A pair of big clear yellow eyes seemed to have no eyelids. Even if he fell asleep, the light like searchlights in his eyes was extinguished. His small body was rising and falling with a non-existent breathing rate, and he slept very hard.
fragrant.
Aaron was stunned for a moment and looked out the window.
A touch of golden color belonging to the setting sun has appeared on the horizon, and it is already getting late.
"Time flies so fast." Aaron murmured. He came over in the morning and summoned the Moon Tomb through the ceremony. He came back at noon to adjust his body and strengthen the Moon Tomb. In the afternoon, he took the Moon Tomb for testing.
This kind of leisurely and fulfilling life is indeed something I haven't experienced in a long time.
"Forget it, let's have a good rest, but I'm going to bed now. I have to get up early tomorrow." Aaron chuckled lightly, and instead of waking up the Moon Tomb inappropriately, he picked it up and stuffed it into the quilt, and then he
I took a book from the bookshelf in my room that I had bought but not read much, and quietly left the room.
…
At five o'clock the next morning, Yue Tomb got up.
It went to bed last night and got up full of energy in the early hours of the morning. Just when it was about to have a good activity, the puppet master directly shut down the body's movement circuit and forced it to sleep with it.
to five o'clock.
Then Aaron got up.
Dolls do not actually need to sleep, but some dolls can imitate human behavior and gain "popularity". Statistics show that this can enhance the cooperation between the puppet master and the doll, and optimize the operating circuit state. As for whether it is true or false, it cannot be determined.
And know it.
His own puppet master is willful, and Yue Tomb has no right to resist.
The control of the puppet rests entirely with the puppet master. Unless the level gap between the puppet and the puppet master is too large, the puppet cannot resist the puppet master.
However, thinking of Aaron's performance on the test field yesterday, Yue Tomb felt that even if Aaron didn't take advantage of his status as a puppet master, he wouldn't be able to provoke him.
The little clay figurine will continue to grow stronger.
At 5:10, Aaron took the Moon Tomb out after a brief preparation.
The breakfast shop in Yanhuang is a beautiful scenery that people who get up early can see. Alon bought a few soup dumplings, and finally opened the blind boxes and bit into them one by one. He was lucky, three of the eight had soup, and one of them had soup.
The juice is very filling. Aaron barely gave this breakfast restaurant a good review.
Then we set off on the road to the southern suburbs.
Take bus, walk and then transfer to bus.
There were a lot of people on the bus heading to the foggy city on the outskirts of the city. Since it was the weekend, we could see a lot of fellow puppeteers of the same age. The bus was a little crowded, and Alon was lucky enough to grab a seat by the window, holding the moon tomb in his arms.
sit down.
The magic circuit of the puppet master in this world has the ability to deconstruct the virtual layer. The puppet master can use this ability to "decompose" his puppet into a state that only he can see. The puppet in this state is different from the virtual layer.
The interaction ability of the surrounding space will be reduced to a very low level. The puppet in this state cannot invoke magic and use skills, and cannot be more than ten meters away from the puppet master.
This ability will also change with the change of the puppet master's strength. After reaching the first-level puppet master, you can even directly open up a private alien space, which is quite practical.
This is how puppet masters solve the problem of daily carrying of puppets.
However, Yue Tomb’s small figure cannot achieve this effect.
And on this small bus, in addition to the crowds that can be seen at a glance, there are also many invisible dolls stacked in this small space.
Suddenly, Aaron frowned.
There is a doll stacked on top of me.
Dark gold shimmered in Aaron's eyes. In his vision, real things gradually faded away, and dolls with different looks appeared in front of his eyes.
On Aron's body, a pink-sculpted little girl swayed her legs and sat unceremoniously on the seat where Alon sat. Because the deconstructed state of the doll has a reduced degree of interaction with reality, it is equivalent to the body entering
It's a different space, so ordinary people can't touch or perceive the doll.
But Aaron is obviously extraordinary.
The color of the starry sky on his body was fleeting, and under a wave of fluctuations, the doll with the appearance of a young girl was shaken directly from Aaron's body by the invisible waves, and rolled on the ground.
"Ah!" A weak exclamation came from the mouth, and the voice of the young female doll attracted the attention of other dolls who were also in a deconstructed state.
The young female doll looked at Alon in confusion, but Alon had already leaned against the window sill with his eyes closed, so he couldn't see anything wrong at all.
"Qiqi, what's wrong?" came the concerned greeting from her puppet master.
Qiqi turned her head: "No, I probably fell off because I didn't sit firmly just now."
Will you still be unsteady in the deconstructed state?
Qiqi's puppet master is a girl with a pretty face. She was a little suspicious after hearing this, but in the deconstructed state, people cannot touch the puppets. Even the puppets can not directly contact each other except for being aware of each other.
Who else can play a prank on Qiqi?
In the end, the girl and the doll named Qiqi had no choice but to give up.
After a while, Aaron heard some noises in the car and knew that his destination was approaching, so he opened his eyes and looked out the window.
The scenery outside the window has gradually been covered with green, the modern urban atmosphere has gradually faded away, the height of the buildings has been significantly reduced, and many simple-style bungalows have appeared.
After a while, the traces of people gradually disappeared.
I saw the fence not far away, and mist floated in the mountains and forests in front. It leaked from the fence that traversed the mountains and fields. However, after passing through the layers of blockade in the fence, the mist revealed by this point also lost its erosion.
It can only add a fascinating and mysterious color to the mountains and fields.
The car stopped at a station halfway up the mountain.
People got out of the car one after another. Aaron waited for the crowd in front to pass before slowly walking down. Then he raised his head and looked at the mountains and fields in front of him.
Looking up, there is still a bit of green in front of me, and as my eyes gradually look forward and into the distance, this green is soon shrouded in gray mist, and the true face of the mountain forest is completely concealed.
The station looked like the opening scene of a horror movie, but it was not as dilapidated as a typical horror movie. On the contrary, it was bustling with people.
It's like a small market here, with many small vendors selling their wares on the spot.
In fact, selling on the mountain may be more effective, but buying and selling is prohibited at the entrance to Chaos Vision. To be honest, setting up stalls like this at the bottom of the mountain is also prohibited, but just like the urban management can't control street stalls at all times, these small businesses
Going on all the time.
"Doll proto-nucleus ore, freshly produced proto-nucleus ore, can decompose at least three proto-nucleus ores!"
"Selling regular four-element doll components, you can take a look when you pass by!"
"Spar fragments, original crystal fragments produced in the City of Mist! Buy them back and use them as snacks for the dolls. It will help increase the doll's circuitry!"
All kinds of hawking sounds completely melted away the mist-rendered atmosphere.
Aaron took a cursory glance at the items on the stalls, but didn't find anything good.
Although he is a newcomer to the doll world, it does not prevent him from using his eyesight to directly see the quality of these items. They are all very common street goods. Most of the people who set up stalls here are just to quickly dispose of their recent gains.
, the quality is generally not worth expecting.
But you can buy some of the crystal fragments.
Crystal fragments are crystal fragments mixed with a slight prokaryotic component. They do not have much effect, but they can indeed be eaten by dolls to improve their mood. Normally, semi-autonomous and autonomous dolls are mostly self-aware, and being conscious means that
A major factor in the growth of spirit and spiritual power is the doll's emotional fluctuations.
Making the doll's life more comfortable will help strengthen the doll's mental power, and the growth of the doll's mental power can strengthen the doll's control over magic power. If the doll's mental power cannot keep up with the growth of the puppet master's magic power,
, in the later stage, the puppet battle will require the assistance of the puppet master to proceed normally.
Crystal fragments are a popular snack among dolls, and high-quality crystal fragments do have the effect of expanding the magic circuit of dolls. However, these small vendors obviously do not have this kind of stuff on their stalls, but I bought it for Moon Tomb to taste.
There’s nothing wrong with trying something new.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. After evaluating his wallet, he found a store with acceptable quality, bought some, and put a dozen crystal fragments into his backpack.
"Huh?" Moon Tomb tilted its big head, expressing confusion at Alon's behavior.
"I'll crush the melon seeds for you." Aron chuckled and explained in a wicked way.
But Yue Tomb didn't even know what melon seeds were, so explaining like this just added to the confusion, and he suddenly fell into inexplicable contemplation.
After buying snacks, there was no need for other things. Even if there were some that looked good, his current wallet was not enough, so he went up the mountain with Yue Tomb.
The mountain road has been repaired and is quite familiar except for being steep. After walking for a while, the fence gates that I saw on the bus before appeared in front of me.
The door is naturally closed. This is to facilitate the entrance of large weapons or heavyweight dolls in critical moments. A small door is opened next to the door for puppet masters who usually enter.
Admission is of course not free, but there are discounts for puppet master volunteers. But although Aron is a volunteer, he does not have a volunteer certificate from the school puppet class. However, he came to take advantage of the refugee discount, which is comparable to that of volunteers.
The discount is much more cost-effective. The only premise is that you may have to lose your family and your former home.
After buying the right to enter the city for the next time, Alon queued up to receive the ticket inspection.
Although the Moon Tomb looks weird, it didn't attract much attention during the process. After all, there are so many puppet masters and puppet bases here, and there are even some celebrities appearing. Naturally, everyone's attention will not be on a little clay figurine with a slightly weird appearance.
On the body.
Soon, Aaron passed the entrance.
"Keep moving forward, don't move around to avoid collisions, until there is a building in front of you. The newcomer's safety zone is divided by a seal barrier, so do what you can." The ticket inspector at the door looked at Aron and Qiao Shengsheng, who looked up at him.
Yue Tomb glanced at it and gave a reminder.
Aaron nodded: "Thank you."
The ticket inspector didn't respond and just passed Aaron to the next person.
Aaron also shrugged, hugged Moon Tomb tightly to prevent it from running around, and then stepped into the fog.
