Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 176 Arrival at the Holy Land
Xia Shou turned his eyes away from Goro and looked at Shirakawa.

Bai He pulled off his portable waist bag, took out the spray and a bottle of mineral water.

He picked up Liu Yilong's severed arm, rinsed it briefly, and said calmly: "The cut is very flat, it's just like that when you cut it with a Rubik's Cube."

After saying that, he pressed the broken part of his arm on the wound, and then sprayed the wound with spray. The broken arm stuck together like super glue, but it still needed to be bandaged and fixed for 3 hours, otherwise the healing effect would be affected.

Su Weiyu also jumped down from the vertical vines and ran to Xia Shou.

"I'm completely useless." Su Weiyu sighed guiltily.

"It's not time for you to show your talents yet." Xia Shou glanced at her with a serious tone.

Su Weiyu understood what Xia Shou meant.

Her [Transparent World] is specialized in targeting people. Although it is useless now, when the core area of ​​Moon Burning Village is opened, everyone's health will begin to deteriorate, and the desire to kill each other will slowly grow, breaking out of the ground like a poisonous seed.

And she is almost invincible in the field of human killing.

Of all people, the only one who could kill her was Xia Shou.

Thinking of this, Su Weiyu frowned.

She had to torture herself with that question again, or rather, the question took the initiative to torture her.

Are you willing to die for Xia Shou?
If her memories were all true, then there was no doubt that she would be willing to die for him a thousand or ten thousand times.

But if the memory itself is false, then this self-sacrifice is meaningless.

Just like before she met Xia Shou, she had fantasized countless times about someone appearing who could see her, be nice to her, and be willing to be friends with her.

As long as there is such a person, she is willing to give everything for the other person, including her life.

But the prerequisite is... such a person appears in reality.

If Xia Shou was just an impostor, whether it was rescuing people in Aidinburg or fighting side by side in the Blood Demon House and the sanatorium, they were all the result of memory tampering. Then, was it necessary for her to die for a perfect fantasy?
There is no need to imagine that she can create many lives at any time, but none of them can compare to her own life.

But then, Su Weiyu shook her head.

impossible.

Xia Shou cannot be fake. There is no such perfect cognitive tampering in the world. If Xia Shou is missing, those things will be incomplete.

"I just saw the mark left by Ling Xiao on the tree."

Wu Lang took out a piece of smoothly cut bark with an arrow and the word "Ling" on it.

"Which way is it pointing?" Bai He recovered some strength and stood up from the ground.

"Let's continue going north. If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to find the marks she left behind." Wulang said.

Everyone continued to head north. After passing the big banyan tree, there was a large stone forest. The terrain was similar to the Devil City in the Gobi Desert.

But compared to the weathered landforms of the Gobi Desert, there are more obstacles here, the roads are narrower, and the terrain is ten thousand times more complicated.

The rule that they cannot be exposed to moonlight has forcibly restricted their already limited means of exploration.

Those standing rugged rocks cast mottled shadows on the ground, which became a safe area for everyone to hide from the moonlight.

But some inexplicable gaps in the stone would let in a ray of moonlight, which was sometimes easily overlooked and turned into an extremely deadly trap.

How to avoid moonlight became the biggest problem when operating in Yuezhuo Village. Xia Shou couldn't imagine how the previous investigators would have explored this place full of moonlight if they didn't have spatial abilities like Baihe.

Sometimes, a ten-centimeter or even one-centimeter long area of ​​illumination can be an insurmountable gap.

Because if you are exposed to the light, you will get burned, even if it is only a mild burn, but the process of passing through the light area means that the whole body will be exposed once, so the whole body will be burned.

Ling Xiao was able to explore this haunted place by herself, thanks to her ability of [Short-distance Teleportation].

It has to be said that although short-range teleportation is not very aggressive, it has irreplaceable advantages in terms of concealment and stealth.

The rules of Yuezhuo Village allowed the superiority of her special ability to be brought to the extreme.

Even at night, she could teleport safely from one shadow to another.

However, if you want to act as a team, Baihe's [Magic Cube] is definitely better.

Xia Shou and his group moved forward cautiously under the shadow of the stone, and finally saw the arrow mark left by Ling Xiao under a piece of moonlight.

Liu Yilong looked at the arrows made of pebbles in the moonlight. In his mind, he imagined Ling Xiao holding a small branch and pushing the pebbles into the illuminated area. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It seems like she's fine."

"You seem to really hope that something happens to her." Xia Shou joked.

"It would be fine if she also broke an arm, but after we get out, I will make her use all her salary and bonus for this month to treat me to a meal! If it weren't for her, no one would come in here." Liu Yilong smiled while enduring the severe pain.

At this moment, the stone forest they were in covered a huge area, and the complexity of the terrain was even greater than the grooves of the cerebral cortex.

Sometimes, they would see very detailed tips left by Ling Xiao - "It will take a long way to go, but there is another passage fifty centimeters behind this stone wall."

So they asked Baihe to use the Rubik's Cube to cut a square hole in the hard stone, and everyone went to the next door to continue moving forward.

Thanks to the correct guidance left by Ling Xiao, they did not waste too much time in this maze-like stone forest.

They didn't take any detours and arrived at the exit smoothly.

Along the way, they recorded new maps as they walked.

Xia Shou originally thought that this highly professional work should be done by a serious person like Shirakawa, but in the end it was Goro who was responsible for drawing the picture.

"You don't know how good I am at drawing. The most terrifying thing about a ninja is the sense of distance and three-dimensional memory. I got full marks in the test of terrain survey... Note that I got full marks without any training~"

He said this, not stopping all the way to show off his powerful memory of the terrain.

After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the exit of the stone forest maze and stood in the shadow of the last rose-shaped boulder. They saw a shocking scene.

A palace under the moonlight suddenly came into their sight.

The palace is not big, even too small to be called a palace, but when it is located in this undeveloped area and surrounded by natural landscapes, the artistry and refinement of the building itself will make people who see it for the first time subconsciously call it a "palace".

The quiet moonlight surrounded the square garden planted with blue enchantresses.

In the center of the garden, a miniature version of the Parthenon stands, like an enlarged pavilion, surrounded by obelisks engraved with inscriptions.

Intuition tells them.

This might be the core area that Shangguan Yan was referring to.
