Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

Spain, Samuelman village.

It's the rainy season, but the climate in Spain seems to be warmer.

Si Qingxuan asked a tour guide familiar with the local village to bring him here from the airport.It took them a four-hour drive to Samuelman.

Perhaps because there is an endless plain in front of you, the sky here is especially vast, and the dark blue sky is dotted with long strips of dim yellow clouds.There is a clear stream flowing beside the bright and eye-catching groves, and on the slopes in the distance are scattered country houses, with layers of red terracotta tiles as the roof, and off-white walls are embedded with stones in the shape of a horseshoe outside window.

Si Qingxuan breathed in the fresh and moist air, and said to the tour guide, "It looks like it's going to rain tonight."

"The rain will only stop for a while in the evening these days." The Spanish tour guide can speak fluent English and French. Knowing that Si Qingxuan understands both languages, he often mixes the two languages ​​at will. Say together, "T'asdubol! (You're lucky!) This road is not easy to drive in torrential rain. Are you here on vacation? How long are you going to stay? Can I recommend some local A charming hotel. As long as you buy me a drink, I don't need to charge your introduction fee." The unshaven tour guide winked at Si Qingxuan.

"No." Si Qingxuan politely refused, "I have a place to stay. Just send me to Morandon Castle."

"Are you sure? It's very desolate there." The tour guide gave him a surprised look.

"No way, the people from the cultural heritage protection organization are still waiting for me to sign. We made an appointment tomorrow morning." Si Qingxuan said expressionlessly.

Originally, the witnesses under his grandfather had already completed all the inheritance procedures, and Si Qingxuan only needed to sign.However, due to the historical and cultural value of this ancient castle, he has to sign another guarantee agreement to confirm his responsibility for the maintenance of this ancient castle.

... I don't know if those members of the protection organization will faint on the spot after hearing Si Qingxuan's plan to transform the castle into a haunted house.

Si Qingxuan originally didn't want to come.But he had just settled the matter of the ghost master, so he thought it would be good to go out to relax.But the remoteness of Samerman Village and the bumps along the road were beyond Si Qingxuan's imagination, which made him question why he was on this vast plain full of decaying grass.He should have slept leisurely on the big bed in the apartment or continued typing and abusing his ex-boyfriend in the chat software.

In stark contrast to Si Qingxuan's indifference was the tour guide sitting beside him.He took a deep breath, his brown eyes widened: "I heard that the old castle will soon have a new owner—I didn't expect it to be you?" Then, the tour guide laughed again, " Unexpectedly, I can still entertain a real rich man in my life. So how long do you plan to stay there? Do you plan to build that old castle into a hotel? I can help you attract many tourists."

"It's just an ancient castle built of stones, not the Palace of Versailles. No one would be willing to live in a hotel." Si Qingxuan sighed, "I heard that only the attic in the lighthouse can barely accommodate people."

"Oh, that will really take a lot of effort." The tour guide shrugged resentfully and didn't speak any more.

They arrived in front of the old castle without a word. The tour guide helped Si Qingxuan move down the luggage—it was said to be luggage, but in fact it was only a slightly larger handbag.Si Qingxuan thanked him, and after paying enough, the tour guide smiled and waved the car away.

Si Qingxuan stood in front of the castle gate, looked at the surrounding scenery, and found that it was almost the same as the photos sent before.Not far away is a skinny black forest, and the lake in the forest is glowing with a gray halo.

The high walls of the ancient castle stand tall, with several towers and city walls, moss spread silently on the black wall bricks, magnificent and quiet.

Looking at the deep cave door, Si Qingxuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

[Wait, High Priest. 】

Just when he was about to set foot on the front yard of the castle, the system suddenly reminded him: [This castle seems to have been occupied by a certain illusion. 】

Si Qingxuan frowned: "Illusion?"

[Here I will introduce to you what some advanced weird creatures and evil gods are usually doing. ] The system said, 【They generally cannot directly descend into the human world, but they can still create a phantom that is very similar to reality but independent of reality based on a certain location in reality, and then A little bit of erosion of the real world - this is the most effective way to invade reality under the premise of space law. 】

"The illusion you mentioned...is like the other world?" Si Qingxuan asked thoughtfully.

[If you have to compare the two... well, it's similar to the other world. 】

Si Qingxuan looked at the gate: "But this old castle has always been taken care of."

The workers in charge of repairing the castle may have been involved in that illusion.

Si Qingxuan held his forehead helplessly, why did he always encounter such bad luck?

[...It depends on how you choose. 】The system said, 【If you don't care about this castle, I suggest you turn around and leave.Anyway, the illusion waiting here will soon attract the attention of some people, and they will come to block this place.You no longer have to worry about the high maintenance costs of this castle. 】

Si Qingxuan: "Why is it a blockade? Can't they destroy that illusion?"

[Have you noticed the 'advanced strange creature' or even 'evil god' I just mentioned?Disasters of this level of strength are difficult to eliminate, and they have built a fantasy as their lair—the rules in the fantasy may be very different from reality, depending on their will.Wanting to break through the illusion is like conquering a dungeon with difficulty in hell, few people can do it. 】

[One point that needs to be emphasized here is that the illusion is nourished, or hatched, by human flesh and blood.If too many people die in the illusion, then the illusion will be completely turned into reality, and monsters will be able to act recklessly in this area; otherwise, no one will pass by and take care of it, and it will slowly be covered with dust as time goes by.If it were you, would you choose to send someone in to deliver the head, or would you block this place quickly and prevent anyone from approaching? 】

Si Qingxuan: "..."

Si Qingxuan saw it very clearly: "The so-called dust cover is only a temporary solution, not the root cause."

[But people around you are used to it. 】

Si Qingxuan suddenly remembered that in the past year, various natural disasters occurred frequently.A certain mountain in a large northern country, a certain town in Southeast Asia, and a coastal city in a certain eastern island country have all been designated as dangerous areas for various reasons.After the residents left, they didn't know where they went. When they came back to their senses, those places had become completely no-man's land and were blocked.

Si Qingxuan gave the system a detailed count of these locations, and the system said after listening: [The people of the island country in the east are seriously polluted by nuclear pollution, and the strange creatures cannot be blamed. 】

Si Qingxuan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

[In short, you, alas——if you still want this ancient castle, then we can only make a big one, hoping to completely eliminate this illusion. 】

Disaster Prevention Bureau, in the general meeting room.

A worldwide "reiki value heat map" is displayed on the big screen - the heat map shows the concentration of aura values ​​around the world, and a high concentration of aura values ​​often symbolizes more strange creatures and higher Mutation probability—places with strong aura will be displayed in warm colors, from yellow to red, and places with weak aura values ​​will be displayed in cool colors, from blue to purple.

With the unremitting efforts of the disaster prevention and control bureau, Huaxia's aura is generally controlled at warm yellow.Looking abroad, there are several places that are so red that they are about to bleed.

"What I'm going to discuss with you today is one of the forms of invasion exhibited by strange creatures—illusion erosion. We call it the nightmare copy."

"...Although there are precedents for this form of invasion, we have never thought of preventing it. Until recently, the strength of the various formations of the executive department has continued to grow, and we have the confidence to carry out the clean-up operation." Said, the executive department The minister drew a circle on a red dot on the Iberian Peninsula, "It just so happens that the Spanish Disaster Prevention Center contacted us this time, and they found a newly hatched copy of the nightmare. According to the information they provided, this The copy has not devoured human flesh and blood, it should still be in a weak state, and it has not shown much aggressiveness so far... In short, it is a place suitable for novices to practice."

The awakened ones sat at the table, and after hearing this, they involuntarily exchanged surprised glances with the people around them.

"However, in view of the danger of this operation, our executive department has decided to only send awakened people above B level to participate in this joint mission with Spain." The executive minister said, "Don't put too much pressure on everyone. This time it's just It is a purge exercise, and I believe that any selected team member can complete the task safely. If an accident occurs, we will also retreat first."

As he said that, the executive minister glanced at the awakened people present: "So, may I ask, is there anyone who volunteers to go to Spain to participate in this purge mission?"

An awakened person raised his hand: "Will Spain also send awakened people?"

"Yes. And they are quite sincere, and they sent two A-level awakeners." The executive minister said kindly, "They don't have many awakeners in their own country, and they are making even fewer. It is already possible to arrange such a lineup." It is enough to show the sincerity of the other party.”

"Well, I'll ask again—"

Zhaolin in the front row suddenly spoke, cutting off what the minister was going to say next:

"I go."

With just two words, the conference room fell into silence.

The author has something to say:

The names of people and places are all made up.

Nothing to do with reality.
