Lord of Rot

Chapter 276 Rune Experiment Log
The two ghouls were mining together at an extremely fast speed.

However, cotton is usually easily dug out of the soil wall more than ten feet thick, exposing the inner space.

"It doesn't look like it was buried in the mountains." Li Qi controlled the ghoul to step in, muttering in his heart: "There are no traces of artificial excavation outside, and there are no traces up and down, as if it appeared here out of thin air."

There is only one possibility.

Space magic technology.

Stuffing this room into the mountain body in an unreasonable and abrupt way is just like how Li Qi dragged Lintawan's crypt to the porcupine collar in the way of a tombstone.

Perhaps it took too long, or the space was broken due to other reasons, that the mining slaves would encounter the escaped ghosts here.

This is a research room, empty, with only a small bed and a lonely bookshelf.

There was only half of the bed, and the other half was missing. It looked like the Necromancer Ayame's magic was interrupted, causing the space door to close and then cut into two undead flying dragons.

"It seems that not all of this research room has been dragged into the mountains." Li Qi secretly guessed: "The other half may have drifted to other spaces."

It is not clear why this research room appeared here, but he probably understood the reason why the ghost appeared.

The space buried by time and mountains was damaged due to mining, and the things inside have been seen again, including these ghosts.

A ghost just emerged from a lonely book on the shelf.

Before Li Qi reminded, the Water Fairy had crushed the ghost.

"Wait first." Li Qi quickly stopped, not knowing what was going on.

Last time he found a similar magic circle in the dungeon tower in the headland crypt.

"Do ghosts have to exist in this way? Must they stay in the magic circle?"

"There are a lot of ghosts inside." The water fairy controlled the ghoul and pointed at the book.

"Is it dangerous?"

"no"

He was just about to let the water fairy go in to explore the way, when the book suddenly "stabbed" and the cover was torn off.

Then countless ghosts rushed out crazily.

Li Qi's sight was filled with faint white shadows.

Within a few breaths, the ghosts filled the entire small room, and some of them were forced to "go through the mold" and be squeezed into the earth wall.

"Did the seal break?" He guessed.

It looks more and more like the ghost in the underground castle, or does the ghost have to live in the magic circle?
These ghosts look similar to those encountered outside, with strange shapes, and many of them look very unreasonable, as if they were forcibly fabricated and pieced together.

A body with a man's head, a woman's head, and a child's head looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Is it a happy family?

With Li Qi's order just now, Fairy Water Ze was not in a hurry to kill the ghost, and controlled the ghoul to stand aside, waiting for Li Qi to study.

The state of these ghosts is also very strange, not aggressive, and at the same time do not have too high intelligence, floating sluggishly aside.

Li Qi walked straight forward, "overlapped" with a bearded ghost in front, and passed through.

It's not that he thought so, but the narrow space is full of ghosts. Fortunately, the ghosts didn't physically collide, otherwise the mine would collapse.

But the moment he passed through, he obviously felt something was wrong, his brain was a little itchy, as if something wanted to get in.

In case of indecision, solve it by deterrence.

Li Qi threw the shock on the ghost overlapping with him, and the opponent's body instantly shattered and disappeared, and even drove away the surrounding ghosts, leaving a large open space.

It also saves him from continuing to have negative distance contact with the ghosts.

The itchy feeling in the brain is gone.

Walking to the bookshelf, Li Qi picked up the book.

Text can still be seen on the tattered cover.

"Rune Experiment Record"

Li Qi suddenly remembered the first letter he got from a necromancer.

"This is the experiment log?"

Knowledge is one of the best treasures in this world.

Rare objects are more precious than treasures.

There are ways to obtain the above two things, but a lot of knowledge has been buried in the long river of history, disappeared due to various reasons, and has no chance to reappear in the world.

[Rune Experimental Record (12), [-] subjects were selected for the experiment, six men and six each, and the control group was divided according to age. 】

"Controlled experiment?" Li Qi frowned slightly. It doesn't feel good to experiment with a human body.

[Power runes are depicted on the skin of the body, two groups of young women tested, the runes have a significant increase in strength, but it seems to have a strong erosion of the spirit, the group without runes has no change, just very scared, normal reaction . 】

A timetable is attached below, which records in detail the eating and resting time of the women in the control group, including excretion, and other abnormal states.

Turn to the next page.

[The first group of deaths]

[...the second group of deaths]

【……die】

[All in the control group died]

[Summary: Runes are highly corrosive to the spirit. The specific death conditions are extreme panic, cardiac arrest, and mouth opening. They can be used as material for soul imprisonment. 】

"Soul confinement? That is to say, you won't let it go after you die." Li Qi looked at the ghosts floating around. The reason why they became ghosts was probably because of the experimenter's magic.

【Rune experiment record ([-]), strength upper limit test, six subjects were selected for the experiment, and the control group was divided according to age. 】

[The first group is selected to sew fourteen arms and depict power runes, while the control group only depicts runes]

Li Qi's frown became tighter and tighter, and he began to understand the experience of the dozen arms outside holding his guy, probably one of the experimental bodies in this group of experiments.

The results are equally self-evident.

[Even if the power rune is carved on each arm, the strength does not increase significantly, but the spirit is corroded at a significantly faster rate, and it cannot be ruled out that the stitching of the limbs affects the spirit]

【...all dead】

[Conclusion: Too many influencing factors, no reference]

Crash, turn the page.

[Rune experiment record ([-]), additional rune limit test...]

[The first group depicts two power runes, and the control group depicts a set of power runes. 】

[The speed of the first group's spirit being corroded is obviously accelerated...]

【die……】

[Conclusion: The speed at which the spirit is corroded is affected by the number of runes, and the runes cannot be stacked together]

"Runes, power runes, is it a way to give ordinary humans extraordinary power? Dead bodies don't have their own consciousness, so can they be portrayed?"

Even explicitly speaking, ghouls don't have souls, but ghouls have psychic powers.

Soul and spiritual power are difficult things to talk about.

"If I portray and manipulate, will my spiritual power be corroded?"

Li Qi pondered carefully in his heart: "If the ghoul is used as the console to bear the corrosion, and then I issue simple commands to control the dead like an RTS game, will it be possible to obtain a batch of rune troops that will never die?"

He already understood why the scholar of the Three Forked River Fort suddenly went crazy. He was afraid that when the other party entered the mine, it would be the same as when he overlapped with the ghost just now, and his spirit would be corrupted.

The spiritual power of a scholar cannot be compared with Li Qi's. After all, he is a herbal medicine professional, so he will go crazy, just like those slaves.

"Maybe it was because his mental strength was stronger than that of the slave, so the slave died on the spot, but he persisted for a while because of being corrupted."

Li Qi continued to look down.

[Rune experiment record ([-]), superposition test of different runes, no control group, four people were selected for the experiment, and different runes were portrayed respectively]

【survival time 4 hours】

[Conclusion: Multiple runes can take effect at the same time]

[Rune experiment record ([-]), rune and body special impact test]

[Choose an experimental body, modify the face, transplant the eyeballs of the Cyclops viper, and portray the perception rune]

【survival time two days】

[Conclusion: The body customization has been significantly strengthened, and runes should be matched according to the body customization, and body stitching can also be selected, but body rejection needs to be resolved]

He speeded up his browsing, and at the same time understood what happened to the ghosts in this mine.

It's just a group of poor people who were magically transformed by crazy bastards during their lifetime, and their souls were controlled after death to study the relationship between runes, body, and soul.

"Huh!" He let out a long breath, and said to the water fairy who was waiting quietly: "Destroy them all."

Hawkwood, who was standing beside Li Qi, didn't know why he suddenly sighed.

Li Qi is not a god, he cannot revive these victims, and he has no way to make these people live happily as ghosts. The only thing he can do is to make these ghosts who have been trapped here for an unknown number of years , to end the muddle and get real relief.

The ghosts didn't resist, and just calmly disappeared before Li Qi's eyes.

"I really should call the priest of the church over. I don't know if the priest will take over the job."

The souls were all wiped out, and it was estimated that the Four Gods would not be able to attract people. After thinking about it, he gave up this idea and stopped adding performance to the Four Gods Church.

outside the mine.

Li Qi finished waiting and walked in.

Seeing this, Hawkwood asked subconsciously, "Master Li Qi..."

"Don't let anyone in." Li Qi stopped, turned his head to Hawkwood and said seriously: "It's dangerous inside, leave it to me!"

"May the four gods bless and bless you!" he said piously.

The others did the same, watching Li Qiyi walk into the mine without hesitation with the eyes of a hero.

Entering the mine, Li Qi rolled up his sleeves.

"Stone skin first!"

He chanted mantras.

The body surface is covered with a thin layer of stone skin.

"Huh, the effect is good"

He waved his fist twice, heavy.

Then he punched the mine wall.

Boom! !
The loud noise roared like a beast, and it went straight from the mine to the outside, scaring Hawkwood and the others trembling.

Inside the mine, Mizusawa Fairy looked at Li Qi raising his fist and hammering violently, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Qi put a layer of stone skin magic on himself, clenched his fists and kicked here and there, making the ghoul confused.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Qi is most uncertain whether the ghoul is still alive.

In addition to not having normal physiological functions and decomposing, ghouls are obviously better than humans, and they will not die with a few arrows in the head.

And the Water Fairy didn't even have the weakness of being rotten.

"It's a big commotion," Li Qi said, "If we come in quietly and then go out quietly, they will think the process is too simple and feel uneasy."

Acting is part of it, and it's a big part.

The bigger the commotion, the better the money spent.

The Water Fairy couldn't understand Li Qi's meaning at all. She just withdrew her mental power and let go of her control over the ghoul. She probably went back to Zhuwei Bay to listen to the sailors singing. He sang with his voice, and it was called "The Shack of the Splash Queen".

He even considered whether to lead the sailors to sing "Sailor" because of this.

Now, Li Qi directly controls the two ghouls to wreak havoc with him.

The entire mine was in a mess and the walls collapsed.

"Lord Li Qi!" A voice came from outside: "The mine is about to collapse, come out quickly!"

"It will be resolved soon!" Li Qi responded, kicked him twice, and then ran out.

The three of them just came out for a while.

"Boom", the mine cave collapsed.

"How?" Hawkwood came over and asked.

Li Qi gasped and said: "It is true that they are all ghosts, but don't worry, they have all been wiped out!"

Hawkwood was overjoyed: "Four gods bless you!"

Li Qi also nodded with a smile: "Four gods bless you!"
