Chapter 549 Psionic Legacy: Army of the Undead (33)

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice...the phantom of a sniper will manifest behind us, and then attack you...this situation is too dangerous!"

Tres is not stupid after all, he quickly figured out what was going on with the previous screams and crisp collision sounds, Dang Lian apologized to Ian repeatedly: "This is because my team was not well protected, and I didn't confirm it. In the surrounding situation, there was no timely rescue!"

"Don't worry too much about it."

But Ian was in a very good mood at this time. The growth of Frost Butterfly made him feel that the gloomy woods and fields in the Avak area were much more pleasing to the eye.

In the final analysis, anyone can make Tres's mistakes, and the opponent's tactics are indeed very unprepared, so there is no need to dwell on this point: "This has to be written in the report - some phantoms are quite intelligent and will use sneak attack tactics , and the sniper Phantom, this should be considered a credit."

"really."

Tres sighed—this time it was due to his superior psychology, he only looked at the knights who broke through the viscount head-on, but failed to protect the key figures.

If it wasn't for the protection of the goblin, Ian would have died this time.

He wouldn't make excuses for himself, Ian didn't blame him, but he couldn't forgive himself.

After sending the information to the Knights camp with the on-board communication device, the convoy stopped temporarily to repair and check the weapons.

After the effect of Ian's ultimate potion was verified by Tres, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, but Ian himself did not have time to listen to those voices of praise in secret, but aimed at the one captured by Miss Hua An. 'Sniper Phantom' launched research.

Although Ian, the silver chip, analyzed all kinds of information the first time he came into contact with this virtual projection, he still had to pretend.

Appearing behind the convoy, the phantom of the sniper manifested out of thin air, like Viscount Avak and the members of the Knights, was a phantom with wisdom.

He has always wanted to commit suicide, but Hua An is too psychic. Miss Goblin cleverly clamped a self-destruct structure in Phantom's body, and then put him in a psychic barrier to imprison him, and sent him into the car. The instrument performs a scan check.

And, of course, the silver chip scan.

It turns out that this is indeed a fairly mature virtual projection technology.

There is a high probability that Grand Duke Sorin’s party used the knowledge in the abyss sacrificial text to immerse some of his subordinates in the virtual world, and then use the power of the virtual world as a medium to project in the Avak collar that has gradually begun to unfold the silent abyss , into an undead phantom army.

This kind of technology, for today's empire, or for today's Terra, can be regarded as a method of warfare with considerable potential-as long as the "Abyss of Silence" can be used to overlap the virtual world and reality A spiritual ceremony, then the party hosting the ceremony will have an army and armed forces that cannot be killed or destroyed.

At most, after the projection is killed and destroyed, the original owner may need some potions and rest to recover, but it's better than really dying.

Even if the phantom body can't exert its full strength, after all, ants kill elephants, who wants to risk their lives to fight with a group of phantoms who don't feel sorry for them when they die?

"This technique is more difficult and obscure than the rituals recorded in the abyss sacrificial text..."

Mo Feng's expression became serious at this moment. The wind goblin even took out a pair of glasses from nowhere, made a very serious gesture to observe the spiritual structure in the body of the sniper Phantom, and finally came to the conclusion: "The Grand Duke Sorin is here!" His psionic skills are even comparable to goblins in some respects!"

"In particular, the technology of the phantom army is similar to the "Utopia Ceremony" in the heyday of our goblins. At that time, our goblins could project the "Utopia" in the virtual world onto the real world. In Fairyland, a layer of all-round spiritual shield is superimposed, and the fairies in Utopia are also immortal...but it is only limited to Utopia."

"But the phantom army has broken through this point. If it weren't for the ritual of the silent abyss that would destabilize a part of the void, it would be an invincible army!"

[It seems that Grand Duke Sorin has really gained a lot from the psychic materials left by his grandfather]

And the Bird of Light also appeared in front of Ian at this moment, and Mikhail's voice was thoughtful: [The army of immortal phantoms, I didn't expect it to be realized in this way, it's a pity... If Grandfather is not dead, if uncle hadn't done such a stupid thing... Maybe our Setar Empire has a key that can break the balance]

【Alas, each of the legacy of that year is a masterpiece of wisdom and imagination, but why is grandfather so anxious...】

It seemed that only Ian could hear and see Mikael's voice and even his image, but Ian didn't agree with it.

He frowned instead.

"That's not right."

At this moment, Ian slowly raised his head and looked around at everyone present: "If all this is Grand Duke Thorin's plan, then why are there so many out-of-control alien beasts and phantoms?"

"This sniper can manifest his own will to sneak attack behind us. The spiritual structure in his body is very complete, and there is also a special manifestation array, which allows him to walk freely in the void and choose the timing of self-manifestation ——He's not very harmful, but what if it's a second-level Flame Wind Owl that will burn himself?"

"Then we and the two armored transport vehicles will probably be bombed to death."

Ian said firmly: "Even if this is Grand Duke Sorin's technology, he must have had an accident this time. All the most important test items in the entire laboratory lost control and escaped, and even his own subordinates were killed. Forced into the void, became the main body of the phantom army, and lost the assistance brought by perfect technology."

"It's just that the group of people headed by Viscount Avak has their own wisdom, so they can fight with their own will and hinder our progress."

"The laboratory in the Avak area is definitely out of control." In conclusion, Ian was extremely confident: "The only question is, how much power can the out-of-control laboratory stop us?"

Although he spoke very confidently, only some of these speculations were true speculations, and the rest were said by Ian based on the identification results of the silver chip.

【Out-of-control phantom (virtual projection · sniper)】

[Incompetence level · phase state · natural intelligent creature · main intelligent creature in the star field · psionic transformation]

[The product of a non-accidental out-of-control experiment, a human being was forcibly endowed with a soul, and then transformed into a virtual projection. This is an opportunity to transcend the mundane, and it is also a fall straight into the abyss]

[Body material...sublimation changes...phase transformation and sublimation in progress]

[Strength Level: Normal]

[Containing source quality: 91.2055 standard spiritual quality units]

【…】

The results of this appraisal are very subtle. Even Ian couldn't tell them all, but just picked some guesses that sounded understandable.

As for the 'non-accidental runaway experiment'...

"Did the ghost do it? Deliberately creating out-of-control experiments... And, forcibly endowing humans with souls? It's still possible to do such a thing, but it definitely has extremely high negative effects."

Ian lowered his eyes, and he already had a guess in his mind.

But on the surface, he still waits for the opinions of others.

"really."

Hua An nodded, and what Ian said was indeed what she thought: "I also think that this phantom soldier still has many technical problems that need to be solved. For example, only the existence of a soul can be used as a phantom. Even if some people become phantoms, they will not have self-awareness, but become mindless souls who act according to instinct."

Mo Feng also agreed: "According to the previous information, the phantoms in the Avak area will attack all targets indiscriminately. It’s still alive, but definitely not formed.”

[The sudden change in the Avak area this time was indeed not caused by Grand Duke Thorin, but because of an accident]

Even the second prince agrees with Ian's judgment: [If it is caused by the out-of-control inside the laboratory, then everything makes sense... I see, I said why all parties are preventing me from going, I am afraid it is those old guys Would you rather Grand Duke Thorin take his grandfather's inheritance than me to collect another piece of the puzzle? 】

[A group of cowardly old things, don't even think about it, the reason why the current empire can stand on the Terra continent is because of whose legacy! 】

——Looks like it's an internal struggle in the imperial capital that I can't participate in.

Ian thought so, no wonder Mikhail couldn't reveal his identity. It turned out that there were some people in the imperial capital who were unwilling to let the second prince collect all the inheritance of Inaiga.

- Inaika II is right, but we don't need a second Inaika.

This is probably the thinking of most of the nobles in the imperial capital.

Regarding this, the boy was noncommittal, he just coughed, and then said: "What is our next task?"

None of the goblins answered, because they knew who Ian was asking.

[Continue to go deeper, let's go to Azure City, one of the three major cities in the Awak area, which is next to the central hilly area and has become a dead zone]

Mikael issued instructions: [However, according to intelligence, there are 'living people' instead of 'phantom' local sublimators appearing there]

[Find them, they are the key to enter the core area]

Now that the boss has given the order, Ian and Tres don't have to think about it, they just need to execute it.

After leaving ammunition casings and battle marks all over the floor, the team continued to move towards the depths of the Avak area.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can vaguely see that the entire Avak area is filled with artillery fire and fighting light, and the low-pitched roar is continuous and resounds everywhere.

Not only the empire, but also many teams with mysterious origins are also heading towards the center of this place.

And their target is naturally Grand Duke Thorin's laboratory.

The night is still long.

Everything has just begun.

　Today is [-] words, but I feel a little uncomfortable when I write it. I have been working out recently, and my work and rest are much more normal, but I may still be a little tired, and my body has not fully recovered. I may ask for leave at a later date. .

I will try my best to finish writing a section of the plot before asking for leave, or take a break in two days and 2 more, and let me know in advance.jpg
Damn it, why can't I ask for leave as easily as Duke Du of Tea!
