Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

On the way to the Astral Pool, Tarling reported more things.

"About the Abyss Lord Akbould's familiar," Ta Ling said, "there is very little information, but we have the direction of analysis. The familiar comes from the plane of clocks and watches, and has the power to control time. This is Why does it seem elusive."

Murphy said, "Go on."

He frowned, because he could hear the call from the astral pool.

That made Murphy less focused.

Ta Ling continued to report: "According to our guess, that familiar should be a mechanically constructed creature, its body should be composed of sophisticated machinery, and the power of time and space on it allows it to use related spells .But at some point—we can't be sure if it was in the past or in the future—it used up all of its power, and because of that, it lost its body and became what it is now."

"Oh." Murphy responded casually, while pushing open the door of his study.

A mortal soul has floated out of the astral pool.

Ta Ling quickly followed behind Murphy, and said, "That familiar exists in the state of a soul now, and it may disappear soon. But for a space-time creature, time can be traced back. We just know it must have been alive, but not at what time."

"That is to say, unless I do it myself, you won't be able to catch it." Murphy said, "Forget it, I've been very busy recently."

Taring knew what he meant by "very busy"—Murphy had just returned, and was ready to set off again to collect the fragments of the godhead.

After thinking for a while, Ta Ling said: "Master, if you like the God of Death very much, why don't you try to contact him?"

Tarlings have complex but straightforward thinking. They are tools of mages and do not need to beat around the bush with their masters.As such, he offers rather succinct advice.

Murphy's movements paused for a moment because of this sentence.

Finally, Murphy said, "Let me think again."

In the pool of stars, at some point, the faint calling sound suddenly stopped.

Murphy frowned slightly, and skillfully pulled out the new mortal soul.

Ordinary people say: "God, god! I...I want to live, but just to live. Why is it so difficult?"

Murphy said simply and rudely: "Tell me your wish."

The mortal said: "I have a healthy and normal life! I beg you to give me another chance!"

"The contract is established." Murphy said directly.

He was in a bit of a hurry, he wasn't sure what was wrong with Enoch, why the voice suddenly disappeared.

After reaching the contract, Murphy casually found a thread of fate in his warehouse. After stuffing the mortal soul into a suitable body, he ordered Ta Ling to throw him into any normal plane.

During this process, Murphy discovered something unusual about this mortal soul.

During a normal prayer process, Murphy's astral pool would only collect the prayers of living people - in terms of terminology, this soul is a "creature", and his body is alive and useful to Murphy.

And once the body dies, the soul will become a "dead spirit", which is useless to Murphy.

And the soul of this mortal seems to be somewhere in between. He should be a dead spirit, but was intervened by a mysterious force from outside, temporarily stagnating his time at the moment before death.

If Murphy is interested, he can continue to investigate, or change to another more reliable body.

But unfortunately, as I said before, he is a little... in a hurry.

Murphy quickly passed through the plane wall and landed on the new body.

Looking at it, it was rare that he was in a public place this time - he was sitting on a tourist bus, and there were six people in the car now, and it seemed that they might be traveling together.

Oddly enough, these people sat far away, as if they didn't know each other well.

Murphy stretched out his hand and got a little familiar with the body - in terms of age, he should be in his 20s, very young, and he didn't exercise much, looking very thin.

On the seat on his right was his own hiking bag, and when he opened it, there were almost everything in it, from climbing picks to Swiss army knives... There were also compressed food and water for about three days.

Are these people here for extreme mountaineering and camping?

It didn't seem right, there was a pistol in the bag.

While Murphy was thinking, a tall man suddenly stood up in front of him.

After he attracted everyone's attention, he said: "I know that none of you are asleep. No one can fall asleep at this time. We are going to reach that damn castle soon, so hurry up and introduce yourself Let's go... After all, we still have a whole night, we must rely on each other and work together to survive."

Murphy was startled. What's the matter with this opening statement?Is this world a war movie style?

After the man finished speaking, he introduced himself: "My name is Bruno, I am a Christian, and I am 37 years old. I am good at wrestling, and my physical fitness is not bad."

After that, several people present got up and introduced themselves one after another.

Including Murphy, there are a total of 4 men and 2 women, all of whom are quite young, and the youngest woman is 19 years old.Bruno was already the eldest.

When it was Murphy's turn, he looked at the ID card in his wallet and said, "My name is Murphy, I'm 23 this year, a college student. I can't fight, but I can play with computers..."

It seemed that everyone else seemed a little disappointed.They should expect a strong man like Bruno, not a poor little one who might need to be cared for.

After introducing himself, a young man named Genos came over and took the initiative to chat with Murphy.

"Hey, you are from the School of Computer Science? Coincidentally, I am too, but I am from the School of Automation." Genos said, "I like to play with drones, and I brought two machines here. We should have cooperation Chance."

He held out his hand, and Murphy reached out and shook his hand.

Genos continued: "You were also summoned by that strange force, right? I went to the mountain to release the drone, but I got lost and froze to death at night. What about you?"

"..." The corner of Murphy's mouth twitched, and he said nonsense, "He was hit by a car."

"Ah." Genos sighed deeply, leaning back on the chair back, "each of us should die, but was pulled back by this strange force. Although I don't know what it wants What to do, but at least it's better than dying directly - my parents are still waiting for me to come home. Are you right?"

Murphy let out a "huh" and continued to say: "So, our purpose should be the same."

Genos said: "Yes, that mysterious force sent the same message to all of us, as long as we can stay in this Frederick's castle for a whole day, we can all survive."

He took out his mobile phone to show Murphy, and Murphy took out his own mobile phone at the same time.

Sure enough, the same text message appeared on the two mobile phones.

[Before 8:12 on August 18th, gather a total of 00 people and go to Frederick Castle on the border of Tajikistan.Survive in the castle for one night without leaving the castle range.After 6:8 in the morning, the contract is completed and you will be given a new life. 】

That's it, Murphy understood.

Why did that mortal soul seem so strange, somewhere between the living and the dead?

Because caring people want to use these creatures to do something.

Murphy hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was only one night anyway, so let's stay in the castle.Early the next morning, he could happily go and play with Enoch.

"Guys, we're almost there."

It was the driver driving ahead who spoke.

He was a man named Francis, well-dressed and handsome, but a little effeminate when he spoke.

The tourist bus soon stopped at the destination, which was a huge and gloomy old castle - Frederic Castle.

This castle stands on a mountain range, with cliffs on three sides, and only one gate. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is basically no possibility of escaping from other places.

It has been uninhabited for a long time, making it look eerie. The two stone sculptures at the door are watching everyone like demons.

Under such circumstances, the two girls hid behind everyone, their faces turned pale with fright.

But it is almost 18:00 at this moment, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to go in, otherwise you will violate the instructions of the mysterious force-all of them have experienced some coincidences, or deliberate arrangements, so they can understand this. It's not a prank, I need to complete this matter.

After all, Bruno was the big brother, so he stepped forward at this moment, stepped forward to pick up the door knocker and knocked on the door.

The sound of metal vibrating was very loud in the silent mountain forest, which startled everyone.

And soon, the gate of the castle was opened from the inside.

An old butler with gray hair opened the door. He was wearing a decent tuxedo and stood upright, but his face looked a little pale.

Someone subconsciously glanced at the butler's feet - he has a shadow.

The butler glanced at the six people present, nodded, and said, "Guests, please come in."

He turned around and walked towards the deep and unknown castle.

Everyone looked at each other with fear, and in the end Bruno took the lead and followed the butler.The people after that hugged into a ball and filed in, no one dared to be left behind.

The hall of the ancient castle was filled with lit candles, and a hazy halo enveloped this magnificent place.

But for people who are used to modern incandescent lights, this place still looks very dark.

And the weird housekeeper said while leading the way: "I'm very sorry, it's not convenient for the masters to come out to receive the guests at the moment. But the master told us to entertain the guests well. Please come with me, I will take you to the guest room to rest first .”
