I can go back to the mysterious age.

Chapter 182 Three Great Gates (4000)

The bone-piercing coldness surged for only a few seconds.

The familiar bitter taste filled the mouth, and the coolness appeared in the brain out of thin air, making people's eyes numb and swollen.

upper right corner.

"Obsession energy: 3.0→3.5"

Added [-] units of obsession energy.Before Kaxiu went back for the third time, he had [-] units of obsession energy, and the bronze ring directly consumed [-] units.

Spreading out the palm, the green emerald shone slightly.

Although the obsession energy contained in it is only half a unit, but Kaxiu is not too little.Because obtaining obsessive energy is a process of accumulating little to multiply, slowly accumulating and accumulating.

He calmed down and checked it again, and found that it was just an obsessive antique, not a legendary antique with nodes.

So Kaxiu returned the emerald of misfortune to Yun.

All he needs is the obsessive energy contained in the emerald. As for the ability of emerald to sense bad luck, Kaxiu is not very interested.Because his own sense organs have also been mutated by the subtle influence of the phantom, and his detection is extremely keen.

In addition, this emerald of misfortune plays an important role for Yun, so Kaxiu will not be favored by others.Moreover, his intention to convey goodwill to Yun also has other considerations.

Kaxiu is particularly interested in the identity of the cloud treasure hunter.

Explorers among explorers have been searching for lost ruins and mysterious treasures around the world all year round.And one thing that is inseparable from relic treasures is antiques.The quality of antiques treasure hunters get will only be better, and the provenance will only be more authentic and reliable.

The probability of obtaining obsessive antiques may be even greater.

In addition, Yun's so-called treasure hunter is not a tomb robber, but has similarities.In essence, it is a high-risk and high-return investment, and the ultimate goal is to obtain precious treasures.

The Hongli Federation, and even most countries in the world have no legal restrictions on this aspect for the time being.The relevant provisions are also vague, and there is no systematic planning and distinction.

So strictly speaking, what treasure hunters do is not illegal, and they can obtain treasures all over the world.

This is an unpopular and remote industry.

After listening to Yun's description of his journey, Kaxiu could guess that Yun must be one of the best treasure hunters.

There is no conflict of interest between the two, on the contrary, there is an opportunity for in-depth cooperation.Ka Xiu already had some ideas in his mind.

Of course, there is no need to rush right now.The two can establish a channel of communication first, and then deepen their friendship later.

In the basement, apart from Kaxiu, the other four were curiously studying the Red-Eyed Specter.Among them, Yun looks more professional, carrying a palm-sized brown tool bag with a magnifying glass and various metal instruments in the tool bag.He squatted on the ground and studied the phantoms in order.

The other three new humans gradually became aware of the aura of the phantom, and they felt that the creature in front of them had an inexplicable sense of oppression and attraction for them.Although it was very thin, the feeling was tied in my heart like a rope.

"Kaxiu, I've almost done my research." Yun stood up from the ground, and stuffed small tools into his bag.He looked at Kaxiu: "How about we go to the second floor for a chat?"

"can."

Kaxiu understood that Yun wanted to have a private chat with him.

Immediately, the two left the basement and walked up the stairs to the lobby on the second floor. Kaxiu turned on the light next to him.

"Please sit down." He pointed to the soft sofa.

There is an area surrounded by two or three sofas and coffee tables, which is usually used by the host to chat with guests or friends.

"No, let's go to the balcony."

Yun shook his head with a somewhat mysterious expression.

"Okay." Kaxiu raised his eyebrows and walked over immediately.

On the half-moon-shaped white balcony, a chair for basking in the sun is placed next to it, and three pots of plants are planted under the guardrail.

"Kaxiu, the origin of the evil spirit you encountered this time may not be small." Yun's expression became a little dignified, and he said after thinking: "There has always been a division among our treasure hunter group, and this division comes from the ancient Xinglan Empire. The myth of Soma. In the Soma myth, life comes from the mysterious three gates..."

"Three major gates?" Ka Xiu listened intently.

"Yes, you are a powerful warrior, and you must have heard of these three major gates. Body, spirit, and soul. These are the absolute elements that make up a person. Without any of these three, human beings will die. Body It's easy to understand, as for spirit, it is something that maintains the state of human life. You can understand it as energy, but there are some differences. In some places, spirit is also called blood energy or ripples..."

"Vigorousness is something that everyone has, it's just the difference between being strong or not. The stronger the essence of life, the stronger the vigor." Yun Wei said, his eyes full of memories.

"Even some human beings with enough spirit can turn passive into active, actively control the operation of spirit and even explode consumption..."

Hearing this, Kashiu blinked.What Yun said seems to have a little connection with the realm of fighters in the secret martial arts world.

If you want to change from a boxer to a fighter, it seems that you have to master the Qi in your body and then combine it with the external momentum.

It will be able to form a symbolic personal aura.

He went on listening.

"I have just talked about the two major gates, and the rest is the most critical third layer. Soul, or God, spirit."

"The soul can't be seen or touched, but it is the most critical element that governs a person's behavior, and it is also the most mysterious. To be honest, I once had a situation where my soul went out of my body. That feeling was extremely terrifying. At that time I feel like I have lost all the meaning of my life. I am like a blind man who has fallen into the deep dark sea, throwing all his strength but can’t reach the bottom. Until I opened my eyes... I saw an unprecedented reality..."

There was a confused look on Yun's face, but his eyes instantly sobered up: "Sorry, I'm a bit off topic. The three gates I just introduced are not only related to humans, but also related to evil spirits. Simply put, evil spirits are not complete."

"Flesh, vigor, and soul. There is always something missing in them! It is a kind of incomplete creature. Although I don't know why the evil spirit can still exist in the incomplete state, it just maintains such a deformed state. And, Those who lack a certain door begin to long for the existence of that door."

"You mean..." Kaxiu seemed to be enlightened.

"That's right, that's why the evil spirits are so aggressive towards humans. They are different from humans, and their biggest and most fundamental desire is to open that incomplete door again. What can I do if I don't? Of course it is from humans. found!"

Yun directly explained the underlying logic of dark creatures.

"It seems to be all right..."

With rare shock on his face, Kaxiu said to himself.

What Yun said is correct, dark creatures are extremely twisted and deformed creatures, and this is the reason why a certain element is missing when forming a complete life!Therefore, most of the dark creatures are irrational, bloodthirsty, and treat human beings as food.

Because human beings have a complete triple gate!All dark creatures, no matter which door is missing, can make up for it in humans, and of course it may be to quench their thirst.

In addition, dark creatures have different forms and different abilities, which are also related to the three major gates of body, spirit and soul.

Which weight is missing?How much is missing?How many weights are even missing?How much of each layer is missing?This complex change makes the dark creatures have all kinds of strange shapes.

Blood clan, phantom, dead blood, psychic, black elf...

There are also those that Kaxiu encountered occasionally when performing extra tasks in the Black Rain Villa: Ash Bones, Monster Cores, Laughing Nightmare, etc.

Yun looked at Ka Xiu thoughtfully and said: "It seems that you have already made some associations, let me make it clearer..."

"We can generally divide evil spirits into three categories, one is lack of body, the other is lack of vigor, and the other is lack of soul. Of course, the specific situation is complicated, and it is only a rough division. Evil spirits without flesh are all evil spirits. The most bloodthirsty in the spirit, they often want to greedily enjoy human flesh and blood; the evil spirits lacking courage like to absorb the pure energy of human life, and some will live in the human body; the last category is also the most mysterious and rare one Class, missing soul..."

Yun paused slightly: "This kind of evil spirit is the most difficult and terrifying. It possesses strange and unpredictable abilities, and even a little knowledge makes people feel daunting. One thing the evil spirit wants to do most is to replace, replace the target it chooses. soul…"

"Phantom." Kaxiu took up the conversation.

"Yes, according to my observation. The tall brown-haired man in the basement is not the main body of the phantom, but a human body replaced by it. The reason why he shows the physical characteristics of the evil spirit is because he was subjected to the evil spirit. spiritual power."

"You told me just now that there still seem to be such evil spirits wandering in Baichuan City. It is not guaranteed that they will stare at you. It is only a superficial means to fight directly with the occupied body. The real danger is these ghosts abilities, they may be able to activate unconsciously, pulling you into the rules of evil spirits."

"This is quite scary... Kaxiu, your strength is indeed very strong. But you still have to be cautious when facing more mysterious and unpredictable evil spirits. I regard you as a friend so I remind you, I hope you can keep it in mind .” Yun turned his head and looked down.

"of course."

The strange expression on Kaxiu's face flashed away.

In fact, what Yun said was not wrong at all, the phantom was indeed extremely dangerous, and its abilities were really strange.If normal people are parasitized, they can only wait to die, just like the poor people in the Shadowless People organization. They set up the organization to save themselves.

But, that was nothing more than a little delay.

There are even more parasites who died in the initial phantom manifestation without even having time to join the shadowless people organization.The probability of surviving is one in a thousand.

And Kaxiu is not among the above two types of people. It is true that Specter has weird and unpredictable abilities, but he also has a more mysterious retrospective ability.And obviously, Kaxiu has proved twice that the phantom can't do anything to him.

As long as I can make progress in going back to the times every time.

Although there are dangers, it is obviously a process that can be worked hard. Kaxiu holds his own destiny in his own hands.If you can't fulfill your obsession, then you are useless.

There is an essential difference from other parasitized people fighting for life and death.

In addition, it is obvious that only one phantom can be parasitized on a person.Kaxiu's body is already full, and cannot accommodate the parasitism of other phantoms.So other phantoms can only attack him physically, and things have returned to the simplest battle.

And fighting, Kaxiu is not afraid of anyone.

The moonlight is cold, the evening breeze is blowing, above the balcony.

Kashu's shadow elongated obliquely, casting it in the courtyard.

Half an hour later, at the door of the single-family house.

Yun and Kaxiu bid farewell, they just talked about some topics of mutual interest.For example, Kaxiu clearly expressed his enthusiasm for the profession of treasure hunter and various antiques.

"No. 125 Yellowstone Street, Dad's Antique Store. It's a store opened by my uncle. I usually rest here for a month or two in summer. If you need anything, you can find me there."

"Understood." Kashuu nodded.

"Then I'm leaving." Yun immediately turned around and returned the same way.

About to reach the end of the dark alleyway, there was the sound of iron bars being closed in the distance.With no expression on his face, Yun continued to move forward.

Probably walked through the whole street, nearly half the distance.

He dodged and hid in an alley on the right. There were no street lights around, and it was extremely dark.It was late at night and no one was out.

Yun put his hand into his bosom with a solemn expression, and groped for a while.A stone was taken out from the inner pocket of the expedition suit. It was a flat gray stone like a hornet's nest.

The surface is densely packed with pits and hollows.

"The bugs of the night are restless...they are excited..."

Yun muttered to himself, and then took out a bone whistle from his bosom like a treasure chest.Whistle white with yellowing, very cracked, looks quite old and badly damaged.And the overall shape is inexplicably a bit like a whistle made of human finger bones.

Under the light of the moon, Yun leaned against the wall and blew his whistle.

Suddenly, a hoarse and hollow voice slowly passed.It's not as sharp as a normal whistle, and even the sound is very low.

One cannot detect it unless one is listening.

However, as the whistle sounded.The gray-white stone held by Yun's palm suddenly began to tremble, like a restless hornet's nest.This vibration lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped.

sizzle sizzle...

The very faint sound of climbing resounded on the stone surface.

Transparent bugs that were much smaller than ants crawled out of the hole, accompanied by a burst of distorted smoke, each bug exuding a wisp of mysterious mist.

"It has changed from white to completely transparent, and the insects of the night are extremely excited! There is something on Kaxiu that is attracting them..."

Yun's eyes flickered, and he called Kaxiu to the second floor alone not only to explain the information, but also to confirm this matter.

"It's really dangerous, but fortunately, the night worm didn't come out of the worm nest directly. Otherwise, except for me, the other four people..."

Yun shook his head and blew the whistle again to recall this extremely dangerous bug.Then he walked to Papa's antique shop.
