Chapter 53 First Holiday (8)

Xiao Hei took Mu Bai a little further away and stopped.It's not that they don't want to leave, but that something is wrong with the surrounding situation.If I have to say it, it makes people have a subtle feeling that the shouting and killing of the Senate before was just a feint.But the real target lies elsewhere.

Sensing that Xiao Hei stopped, Mu Bai raised his head and followed his direction to look into the crowd.There are a few larger-looking creatures that seem to be messing with something.If there is nothing wrong with it, Mu Bai vaguely felt that the bodies of those people were not in sync with the energy waves they radiated.Generally speaking, there is only one explanation for this situation, that is, these creatures have made a complete appearance camouflage.

"Back back." As soon as the little black words came out, everyone felt a violent vibration under their feet.A white halo spread from the ground to a degree visible to the naked eye.Everywhere they passed, everyone collapsed to the ground.Obviously being attacked.

When the halo was about to expand to his feet, Xiao Hei picked up Mu Bai and flashed it lightly.Mu Bai felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then fell directly on a nearby big tree.

"The spiritual consciousness of these people has become very weak." I didn't notice it before because there were too many creatures, and everyone gathered together chaotically, and they couldn't feel anything abnormal at all.Nowadays, a large area of ​​spiritual consciousness is weakened, even if the IQ is only 30, they will know that something is wrong.And Mu Bai also clearly felt that the energy of these creatures was draining from them.It looked like it had been sucked away by something invisible.

Are they planning to suck the souls of these creatures?This is too incredible. Even if it succeeds, the capital is so big, and support will arrive soon. How will these people escape by then?

More importantly, Mu Bai couldn't figure out what to do with other people's souls.Although Horcruxes are powerful, quality should be considered rather than quantity.Besides, based on his understanding of this era, these aliens probably don't understand at all.

Mu Bai's thinking is correct, so obviously these terrorists will not simply suck a few people.They obviously have other plans.

At this time, Xiao Hei's voice rang in Mu Bai's ear: "The Senate is a biological research base."

Mu Bai also remembered, it was introduced in the museum before.In the imperial era, the territory of the Senate also belonged to the scope of the imperial palace.And this area is His Majesty's private research base.It is mainly used for soul research and experiments.

Could it be that there are other traps here?

As if to confirm the speculation of the two, the aperture gradually expanded and then slowly disappeared.Then, the seemingly hard and flat ground began to sink, and many strange symbols were slowly emerging from the ground.At the same time, a huge mask appeared above everyone's heads.

Needless to say, they were isolated.

Seeing that the red symbols became clearer and more numerous, Mu Bai's eyes straightened.He can understand all these, obviously they are Taoist runes.Unexpectedly, in the interstellar era thousands of years later, the magic circle of cultivating immortals could still be handed down.

"Do you understand?" Xiao Hei knew Mu Bai's micro-expressions like the palm of his hand, as long as he rolled his eyes a little, he could immediately guess what was going on next.This is somewhat stressful.

"I generally know." Mu Bai didn't dare to hold it too high.After all, he himself is just an outsider ascetic.I've heard about everything, but when I really investigate it, I can't do anything well.What's more, this formation doesn't seem complete.In other words, some instruments are needed for support.

Mu Bai thought for a while: "It seems to be related to the operation of energy. But it seems to be useless." He pointed to the position in the finger array: "There should be a magic weapon there according to common sense. But there is nothing now. Even if After absorbing the energy of other people, there is no way to gather it away."

Xiao Hei nodded, although he was not very clear about these.But Mu Bai's mastery and understanding of energy is very unique among the people he knows.However, he was immediately attracted by the distant scene.

About a dozen people ran out of the battered Senate House.Judging by the clothes they were wearing, they were all specially customized clothes by government departments. They should be just affairs officers.Usually, when there is no meeting and impeachment, the elders rarely come.After all, political deals are done in private.If you really want to come here, you basically did it with real knives and guns.

Xiao Hei nodded at the people who came from a distance with his chin: "Xiao Bai, what are those people doing?"

Following the direction he pointed, Mu Bai looked up.A few creatures are carrying a huge portrait over.The figure looks like it's made of jade or something.It is densely carved with intricate lines.At first glance, it looks very luxurious and expensive.

Mu Bai's pupils shrank suddenly, even with his shallow magic knowledge, he could tell that it was definitely a large magic weapon.

"Themis? The god of fairness and law?" Xiao Hei recognized the identity of the sculpture at a glance.This is one of the most famous antiques in the Senate.In the imperial era, the so-called emperor was one of the twelve statues made by the emperor in order to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan.I didn't expect that it could be used as a magic weapon.

Seeing those people put the statue in the magic circle, and then continue to operate.Mu Bai frowned again.There is no other reason, according to Mu Bai's understanding, at this time, it should cooperate with spells or mental methods.And these aliens actually moved the instrument and started debugging the circuit.What are they trying to do?

On the other side, the first batch of support troops that everyone has been looking forward to has rushed over.Probably because there were too many grievances in the Senate, some time ago there was a proposal to reduce the appropriation of the garrison.So it took about 30 minutes for this group of people to get there.And from the looks of it, they didn't bring any large weapons at all.

"Major, may I ask what you can do about this situation now?" A journalist jumped up to Major Zhang who was leading the team.Of course interviews need to be on-site.Whether facing the Senate or the demonstrators, she didn't have much sympathy.Who made the strict news control order issued before?

"Because of funding problems, we can't think of a solution for the time being." Major Zhang said to the camera in a serious manner: "The Senate has reduced our equipment to the point where three people share one car. Therefore, we now Waiting for support from nearby troops."

"Since you are helpless now, I would like to ask, why do you still come here?"

"As a security force, it is a professional requirement to rush to the scene as soon as possible." Major Zhang is worthy of being a resident of the capital, knowing that there are tens of billions of viewers on the other side of the camera, he still has no expression on his face: "Although the law and order in the capital has always been very good. But that doesn’t mean you won’t encounter emergencies. If you relax because of a long period of peace, you will often be caught off guard when you encounter danger.”

Major Zhang summed it up: "So, for the safety of the capital, the Senate should increase the appropriation for the garrison. Only in this way can we have enough force to maintain the peace of the capital." That meaning can also be understood as: I am really sorry now , Insufficient funds, we can only make fun of it.Go to the Senate if you need anything, they've cut the budget.

Anyway, the ones imprisoned inside are neither government officials nor women, children, old and weak.Either the administration or the protesters, Major Zhang didn't feel much pressure.

Of course, he also understands the importance of a good relationship with the media.First entertained the outside media workers for tea and snacks, then began to count the trapped list, and finally tried to chat with the terrorists inside according to the procedure.In short, it is still watertight.

Because it is not an official impeachment day, there are not many people in the Senate, and the main hostages are protesters from alien planets.Therefore, even if it is a live broadcast, the audience is not particularly nervous.If you have to say something uncomfortable, you can't see anything.

The protective shield set up by the terrorists strictly isolated the inside and outside, and nothing was said except to send a message to the support troops to consider the safety of the hostages.

As for the garrison in the capital, procedures are being submitted layer by layer.The capital planet has not been attacked by terrorists for at least 400 years, and the bureaucracy is very serious. Everyone tries to shirk all responsibilities in the links under their control.Thus, two hours passed and still no further action was taken.

The terrorists inside still kept tapping in front of a bunch of instruments, and Mu Bai estimated that they might be programming.As for the other creatures trapped inside the shield, they basically lost their ability to resist.Almost all of them were lying on the ground, only panting for one breath.And according to the direction of their energy flow, it should be the energy that supports the shield.

"How long do you think they need?" Hei knew nothing about spells.They hide themselves well by hiding in the trees.

Mu Bai thought for a while: "Actually, you only need a spell to activate it. It's the first time I've seen an instrument."

He's right, but it doesn't make sense to aliens.Rather than finding an incomprehensible spell, terrorists would rather operate as a decryption code.

As a result, the magic circle, which was likely to absorb the souls of creatures in a large area, was tossed for several hours and still made no progress.

"Speaking of which, the outside should know that we are trapped." Mu Bai felt a little hungry, but he didn't dare to absorb energy at all.If the energy fluctuation is wrong at this time, it is easy to be discovered.

Xiao Hei took out a small box of energy blocks from his body and stuffed them into Mu Bai's hands: "I know for sure. But I don't know what to do. This year is not an election year."

After swallowing two energy blocks, Mu Bai could see it.There is nothing to do at the moment.The mousetrap on the outside can't get in, and the brains on the inside can't get in.Just trying to activate the spell by decoding it is simply a fantasy.

He is not in a hurry now, just stay like this for a while, and it will be fine to be a hostage for a while.As for the others, it seems to be powerless.

Just when everyone thought there was still some energy left, the sculpture that had not moved suddenly gave off a strange light.The entire magic circle was activated!

The author has something to say:

At this time, Mu Bai should be able to do something...
