Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2324 Mirror Resentment

Frode paid so much attention to the abilities of special undead because of Turas.

Although when he was in Chuxin City, he always disliked Turas for wreaking havoc, but as time spent together, he gradually got to know Turas.That is a big boy who is a bit naive, with a very pure heart. If Frode is still alive, he may be ridiculed as a fool, but after becoming a soul body, Frode likes this elusive and complicated personality more. A person with a pure heart.

Angel mentioned before that there is an opportunity for Turas to also learn soul tricks.

Since then, Frode has taken to heart.

There are two mainstream ways to learn soul tricks. Yada and Shanni learn through dead energy, which is relatively safe.However, it also tends to be mediocre.

The second is to assist in the practice of soul tricks by killing and absorbing the special energy of the undead.

Although this method has the risk of corruption, if the opponent's special ability is relatively good, then it can be learned in an instant, and the strength of shaping is also greater.

Frode himself absorbed the special spider undead of Mrs. Sila, and learned the soul tricks.

The first method can be carried out at any time, so you can let it go for the time being and don't think about it.The second method, if you can really meet a special undead whose ability matches Turas, this method is obviously better than the first method.

Because of this, Frode is very concerned about whether the farmer's ghost has become a special undead, and what special abilities he will have if he is a special undead.

"Special undead are usually hard to come across, I hope you are..."

After discussing the current situation with Drew and arranging some follow-up arrangements, Drew left in a hurry.

Frode took out the logger and entered the wilderness of dreams.

He was going to report what happened here to Angel.

However, three or four days have passed since leaving a message with Shuqun, and Floyd has not received a reply.

Turas followed Nice again and went to the new town. Frode wanted to ask Turas to help with the interrogation, but there was nothing he could do.

In the past few days, Drew has continuously sent messages, and the ghost incidents at the foot of the mountain have become more and more frequent. Even if there are royal wizards patrolling nearby, more than 30 people were killed in the forest factory, and a large number of people Witnessed a ghost scene.

Since Frode became a soul, he has also begun to pay attention to the matter of the soul, and has read a lot of books related to the soul.

One of the "Book of the Dead" mentioned a lot of details about the undead, which clearly stated: The undead are naturally full of killings for humans, but the premise is that humans must enter the territory of the undead.In other words, the killing of human beings by the undead is basically a passive counterattack.

The incident at the forest factory has deviated somewhat from the description in "Book of the Dead".

He has already begun to actively look for humans to kill, and has begun to deliberately avoid tracking.

This is obviously not in line with the norm.

If the other party is really the ghost of the farmer, he didn't go up the mountain immediately, but ran to kill humans and avoid tracking... This sounds weird.

Floyd had a feeling that the other party might be plotting something.

Because Angor's reply was not received for a long time, and the ghost of the farmer was imminent, Frode had no choice but to temporarily hand over all the affairs of Chuxin City to the Lord Monroe, and arranged for several The members of the hunting group protected him, and then he boarded the airship to the new city alone, and decided to go directly to Turas.

On the way of the airship to the new city, Frode was not idle, and he began to sort out the summary of information sent by Drew.

Trying to use this information to defeat the ability and plot of the farmer's ghost.

"Case 509: The third team of carpenters in the forestry factory was doing logging work at the slope number 4 in the eastern district. When they returned home in the evening, they were attacked by ghosts. 0 people died; [-] people escaped."

"Case 11: The second group of carpenters in the forestry factory was rough processing the transported wood in the open space outside the factory. They were attacked by ghosts in the afternoon. 1 people died and [-] person escaped."

"Case 5: The forestry factory team was attacked by a ghost during a meeting and discussion inside the factory. Five people died (including two members of the knight order); six people escaped."

"Case [-]:..."

After reading more than a dozen cases in one go, I didn't find any useful clues just from the case itself.All he knew was that the other party was not limited by time, and was not afraid of the sun, and the location of the case covered a fairly large area.

But when he read the dictation of the escaped personnel, Frode's eyes froze slightly.

Among them, the escaped person in Case [-] was named David.He is an apprentice carpenter, and his main daily work is rough machining of wood with his colleagues.

On the day when the case happened, David was also doing this kind of work. Although he learned that there had been several accidents recently, because of concealment from above, David only thought that it was a wild beast who killed people.But the location they were in was an open space next to the factory, blocked by a large number of fences and iron nets, and wild animals couldn't get in, so David didn't worry much about safety.

However, the development of things is beyond David's imagination.

It was very dark that day, and the sky was covered by thick black clouds. It was a depressing time when it seemed that it was going to rain, but the rain never stopped.

It was clearly in the afternoon, and the leader of the second group of carpenters also lit a torch, and told the others through the light of the torch to quickly put the rough-processed wood into the warehouse to avoid getting wet after the rain fell.

Because the wood in David's hands is oily wood, it won't get wet even if it gets wet, and it might ignite spontaneously if it is too dry in the warehouse, so he is not in a hurry.

It was decided that after finishing the last bit of survival, the oily wood would be piled up outside the warehouse.

David continued to process for about a quarter of an hour. At first, David could still hear the rustling of the crowd around him, but the sound became more and more sparse as he went to the back. When David put down his work, the surroundings were already quiet. one slice.

"Going so fast? What's the matter with that guy John? Didn't he say he'd wait for me to eat together?" David muttered complainingly, but didn't pay much attention, and moved his hands to prepare to go to the warehouse.

The door of the warehouse was open, and it was dark inside, and nothing could be seen, and there was a faint stench coming from inside.

David didn't think much about it at the time, because the warehouse was often infested with mice, so he put a few cats in to catch them.Cats like to catch mice, but they don't eat mice, so dead mice often accumulate in the warehouse, and there is often a rotten smell.

Coupled with the fact that the rain is about to fall, the stuffy atmosphere will also make the stench worse.

David stacked the processed wood products outside the warehouse.

After doing all this, David suddenly felt his bladder swell.

There is a toilet in the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse is not closed, so David naturally thought of going to the warehouse toilet to release the flood.But when David came to the door of the warehouse, he subconsciously stopped.

It's so dark inside, there's no light at all, which is a bit abnormal.

When a carpenter brings rough-processed wood products to the warehouse, he usually carries a glass oil lamp, no matter how you say it, it will not be so dark.

"Perhaps, they walked fast?" David felt wrong when he thought about it. If they walked so fast, why didn't the warehouse door close?
After pausing at the door for two or three seconds, David still backed out.

He always felt that the open warehouse door was like a huge dark mouth, ready to swallow him at any moment. ——This is the metaphor David made when he confessed to the royal wizard.Maybe it's some kind of harbinger, or maybe it's a hindsight after learning the truth.

In short, David did not enter the warehouse.But he couldn't hold it back, and he couldn't solve it casually according to the factory rules. In the end, he decided to go to the No. [-] warehouse on the other side to go to the toilet.

Because he saw the lights on in No. [-] warehouse.

The No. [-] warehouse was very clean, and there was no smell. David hurried into the toilet. After excreting, he saw a large mirror facing the toilet door.

David took advantage of the opportunity to spit on the palm of his hand, preparing to wipe his forehead hair to set a shape.

However, while David was being so beautiful, he suddenly discovered that "David" in the mirror suddenly grinned, and that smile was very weird, with an arc that David had never achieved before, just like the "David" in the circus. clown.

The eyes of "David" in the mirror also drooped, as if shining with a faint green light.

David sat down on the ground in fright.

And "David" in the mirror smiled more and more weirdly, and even leaned forward, as if trying to catch David outside the mirror.

David also really felt, as if a hand had come out of the mirror and grabbed his ankle.

Perhaps it was the outbreak of a crisis. At this critical moment, David picked up a piece of wood beside him and threw it at the mirror.

The mirror surface shattered into spider webs, and the feeling of being grabbed at the ankle began to dissipate.

David got up in a hurry, shouting for help while running outside.

On the way of running, David vaguely heard a mournful roar from behind, and a dark wind struck from behind.

David didn't dare to look back at that time, but just ran forward blindly, trying to escape from the No. [-] warehouse, but he found that the gate of the No. [-] warehouse was not far away, but he couldn't escape no matter how he ran.

Just when David thought he was definitely going to die this time, he heard a loud boom.

The moment the bell rang, all the gloomy winds around him disappeared, and David himself felt less fear in his heart, and his mind was peaceful.

David didn't know what happened, but his survival instinct made him get up immediately and run towards the door.

This time, the warehouse door did not "stay away", and David ran outside smoothly.

Not long after, David saw a wizard in robes flying over on a broom.

The wizard glanced at David, told him not to move, and rushed into the warehouse by himself.Warehouse No. 11 didn't yield much, and Warehouse No. [-], the one that David didn't enter, the wizard moved out [-] corpses that looked horribly dead.

These 11 corpses are all members of the second group of carpenters except David.

Seeing this scene, David realized that the initial silence was not because his colleagues were silent, but that they had unknowingly stepped into eternal darkness.

……

At the end of the dictation, there is a note in red pen.

This note explains the bell that David heard.

It was a member of the Yinlu Royal Wizarding Corps who was patrolling nearby at that time. After hearing David's shout, he sensed something was wrong and immediately rang the "Bronze Bell". ——And the copper bell was refined by Angor and given to Neia as a soul-purifying alchemy tool, which can reduce the negative effects of undead to a certain extent.

It was precisely because of the bronze bell that David got rid of the trapped state at that moment.

The duration of the copper bell effect was extremely short. David was lucky and seized the opportunity. Before the effect disappeared, he rushed out of the warehouse and met the wizard who came to rescue him.

After reading the survivor's dictation, Frode's heart moved slightly.

He didn't do the analysis right away, but continued to read several other dictation transcripts. After reading them, Floyd fell into deep thought.

David's experience is in line with the public's impression of ghosts, which is inexplicable and terrifying.

However, this is only from the perspective of ordinary people.

From Frode's perspective, he doesn't care about the horror atmosphere created, because he can create it himself.What he cares about is the method of attack David suffered.

The "David" in the mirror has a strange deformation.

The "David" in the mirror directly passes through the mirror and attacks the real David.

By some means, David was trapped so that he could not escape smoothly.

The above three attack methods must imply the special ability of the undead.Among them, the third method of trapping people is very similar to the "dead soul blinding eyes" mastered by Floyd himself.

Frode can also create a strange blinding space, allowing people to see the exit, but never run to the exit.

That's what Jon called "ghosts hitting the wall".

However, Frode's death-soul barrier is a means to trap top apprentices, even if Neia comes, it will be difficult to break free.

However, the means of trapping David was dispelled by a copper bell with an extremely small effect. It was obviously very weak, and it really couldn't bear the title of "dead soul blinding eyes".

But if the ability possessed by the other party is not blinding the soul, what is it?

Frode looked at the first two means of attacking David, both of which contained a medium: a mirror.

This reminded Frode of a special kind of undead mentioned in the "Book of the Dead" - Mirror Grudge.

The so-called mirror resentment refers to the undead who use the mirror as the medium.This type of undead can be quickly transferred through the mirror, and can also use the power of the mirror to pull the human soul into the world in the mirror to seal it.It can be said that his figure is hard to guard against. During the battle with him, the wizard is often turned over unexpectedly. Once the figure is imprisoned, it is very difficult to escape.

And this method is a specialization of soul tricks.

The name of this soul trick is——

step in.
