My Endless Life.

Chapter 143 Why is it the Light Chasing Society again?

Li Qi looked at the clothes on the corpse.

They all wore white robes with special grey patterns sewn on them, making them look like priests in a church.

Of course, white and gray are just the colors Li Qi sees now. In the colorless plain, everything is white, gray, and black, except life itself.

But even though the color had faded, Li Qi could still notice that the skin on the corpse was very white.

Although it has dried up beyond recognition and its color has faded due to the loss of life, its color is still much whiter than that of a normal person. At least Li Qi has seen the corpse of Thousand Faces, and her body was not as white as theirs after fading.

Overall, they looked more like the monks that Li Qi had seen in the church in his previous life. They were the kind of ascetic monks who seldom went out, and they did not look like a guard team.

Especially since they had no weapons.

As soon as he had this thought, Li Qi changed his mind and thought that the weapons in this world were relics, and perhaps these people mainly used relics.

"Are they the guards of the 'ancient civilization'?"

It took less than a second to look at the corpses and Li Qi quickly asked Carol.

Carol nodded:
"Yes, that civilization that has been passed down from ancient times has half the population of Rubino City. With so many people, of course there must be a guard to maintain order."

"Is that so... Then why did they die here?"

Li Qi asked in surprise.

Carol also looked puzzled. She said:

"I don't know either. Logically speaking, people from the 'City of Disorder' shouldn't come out casually..."

"Is there something wrong?"

Ronnie asked worriedly.

Just like the city of Rubino was shrouded in a foggy area, something might have happened in the City of Chaos.

After all, this city was built in a foggy area, so it is normal for problems to occur.

Carol frowned in thought.

The establishment time of the ancient civilization settlement in the City of Disorder is unknown, but according to the records of the kingdom, this ancient civilization already existed before the kingdom came into being.

They have been living in the fog area and nothing has happened in all these years.

Therefore, it is unlikely that anything bad will happen to the ancient civilization settlement in the City of Disorder.

But this possibility cannot be ruled out, and more importantly, the way they died is more important.

"Dead from dehydration... these traces... these methods... why haven't I seen them before?"

Carol frowned even deeper, her little face looking frighteningly serious.

The most common substance in a foggy area is moisture. Although the surrounding fog does not look like normal water mist, it is difficult to start a fire in a foggy area, and if you stay there for a long time, you will definitely feel damp.

It shouldn't be possible to get dehydrated here, and Carol had never seen any Mist Explorer die of dehydration in all her years of adventure...

Richie and Ronnie were entering the deeper fog area for the first time and did not have as many problems as Carol.

But after hearing Carol's mumbling, they both realized that something else might have appeared in the foggy area.

Just like... the monsters that Li Qi and his friends had seen before.

Thinking about the abnormal deaths of these people, Li Qi couldn't help but observe more carefully.

He even used his super powers for this.

After this observation, Li Qi discovered that the degree of desiccation of these corpses was even more serious than he had imagined.

The blood and all the water in their bodies were sucked away by something, and their entire bodies and internal organs became shriveled and dry, as if they would shatter into pieces with the slightest touch.

What on earth could possibly achieve this?

Just as Li Qi was thinking this, Jinghua suddenly said:

"Master, something is coming!"

"?"

Carol and Ronnie looked at Jinghua immediately. It was the first time they heard Jinghua speak, so they were inevitably a little surprised.

Li Qi looked at the ground at the moment Jinghua reminded him.

Without Jinghua's reminder, his superpowers had already allowed him to "sense" the unusual movements underground.

"Watch your step!!"

Li Qi shouted loudly.

Jinghua immediately stepped forward, picked up Li Qi, and jumped into the air with him.

The remaining Ronnie and Carol also used their own methods to leave the place.

One second after they jumped away from where they were, the ground collapsed and black bugs rushed out from the ground like a tide!
“What the hell is this!!?”

The first time Carol saw the bugs, she let out a scream like an explosion.

Apparently, she had never seen these things on the plains.

Secondly, it seems that even a fake loli like her who usually speaks foul language is afraid of insects.

"I don't know, but it's obvious that these people turned into mummies because of them."

Li Qi looked at the insects' long mosquito-like mouthparts and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Even if it was Li Qi, if he was surrounded by these insects, his fate would probably be similar to those guards who turned into mummies.

Although these insects seem to be unable to fly, Li Qi cannot fly either.

He has not yet found the materials to make a magic device. Even if he finds the corresponding materials, he cannot perform flying magic.

The magic level is too low.

Jinghua held Li Qi and quickly moved away from the group of insects. Although Carol seemed to have not changed much, her speed was even faster than Jinghua who had turned into a relic, and she followed closely behind Li Qi.

As for this kid Ronnie, his figure flashed and disappeared as he followed the two of them.

It seems that he has fully mastered the ability of teleportation.

"Master, what I sensed was not them, but..."

After they ran away, Li Qi was still observing the bugs that had not caught up with him, and Jinghua spoke again.

Just as Jinghua was halfway through her words, a melodious flute sounded from the distant fog. The moment she heard the flute sound, Carol's face changed a little. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she immediately cursed:

"It's the Light Chasing Society again! You guys must have been taking the wrong medicine recently! Why are you guys everywhere?!"

Carol said this, and another wave of curses that would be muted came out of her mouth.

Carol cursed happily but didn't notice that Ronnie's expression changed.

When he heard the name 'Light Chasing Society', Ronnie's eyes were instantly filled with hatred.

He looked suddenly towards the direction of the fog. In the distance, a vague figure walked out of the residual fog. He held a flute in his hand and blew it gently to his lips.

The elegant posture is like a musician walking out of a dinner party.

Seeing this man, Ronnie rushed up directly!

"Light Chaser!! Die!!!"

He was very fast, and with the power of the crystal, he almost flashed in front of the flute player.

Like a flash of golden light.

"Damn it! Don't be impulsive, golden-haired boy!!"

Carol, who was also very angry, saw Ronnie rushing forward so bravely and immediately called out.

But she shouted a little too late, Ronnie had already arrived in front of the man and kicked him directly in the head with one foot!
Knight skills-enhancement!
This is the fighting technique that Li Qi taught Ronnie, which is to focus the energy on one place and strengthen the attack power of a certain limb.

Ronnie had never been able to use this trick before, but he didn't expect that after seeing the people from the Light Chasing Society, he was so angry that he easily used this trick.

A strengthened kick can almost break a boulder.

If the flute player were to be hit by this kick, his head would definitely explode like a watermelon.

But as expected, Ronnie's kick hit empty air.

Like an afterimage, the flute player's figure dissipated like smoke and dust, leaving only a phantom white mist that was kicked away by Ronnie.

The powerful attack failed to hit the target, and Ronnie's body lost balance in the air and fell downwards.

What greeted him were black bugs pouring out from below.

"!!!"

At the critical moment, Ronnie activated the crystal's teleportation ability to teleport himself away to avoid being eaten by insects.

But the figure of the flute player reappeared at the same place after he disappeared.

"It's... the magic flute..."

Jinghua suddenly said.

Of course, I only said this to Li Qi.

A look of confusion flashed across her eyes, as if she was wondering why she knew this name.

Li Qi glanced at Jinghua without saying anything.

Although Jinghua has become a relic and forgotten its past, when it encounters a familiar scene, some of its past memories will come to its mind.

That's it now.

She probably caught the scent of the magic flute, which reminded Li Qi and made him remember his identity.

Of course, these things are not important to Li Qi.

What is important to Li Qi is the ability of the magic flute.

He suddenly appeared and disappeared, and Ronnie's kicks were ineffective against him. Could he be another tough guy who was immune to his weak attacks?

Why are all the people in the Light Chasing Society such people?

This was the case with Thousand Faces, Mirror Flower, and now The Magic Flute. Their relic systems all seem to focus on transformation and illusion.

More specifically, the focus is on psychedelic others.

Is it because... the Light Chasing Society can only create similar relics...

Li Qi didn't quite understand, but he didn't think much about it. Seeing Ronnie move to a farther place to avoid the bugs, Li Qi asked Carol:

"Who is he? Do you know him?"

"The 'Magic Flute' of the Light Chasing Society. The relic is the flute in his hand. The sound of the flute can create a certain degree of illusion, and... control some fog beasts in the foggy area."

"I see. In that case, all we have to do is not listen to him playing the flute."

Li Qi said, intending to let Jinghua cover his ears.

Unexpectedly, Carol shook her head and said:

"No, even if you cover your ears and destroy your hearing, you can still hear his flute. That's not normal music. That's..."

“This is the sound of the soul.”

After the song ended, the magic flute appeared in front of Li Qi and Carol.

He looked like an elderly man, with grey hair and a wrinkled face.

He was wearing a neat tuxedo and white gloves, giving people the feeling of a European aristocratic gentleman.

And the phrase 'voice of the soul' just now came from his mouth.

soul?

After Li Qi heard what Mo Di said, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"What did you just say?"

Carol was surprised by Li Qi's sudden words.

Magic Flute didn't notice anything wrong. He looked at Li Qi with a smile, bowed slightly to him, turned the flute in his hand and said:

“The sound of the soul, the sound that resounds deep in the soul, is not a sound that you can block out by plugging your ears.”

soul…

soul!

In other words, the relic in his hand... can target the soul! ?

Listening to Modric's words, Li Qi's eyes looking at Modric became more and more passionate.
