Rhodes folded his hands helplessly and stared at the spiritual crystal in front of him. Ehorn, who was beside him, was also leaning against the wall. He stretched out his hand helplessly and tapped the wall next to him, looking bored. This is not an illusion, but a fact. At least that's the case for now. Although after that, Rhodes and Ehorn never encountered another attack, and they soon came to the third spiritual crystal with Ehorn's aura, but what happened next made Rhodes De felt very depressed because nothing happened.
That¡¯s right, nothing happened. Although Aihorn went up to touch the spiritual crystal and even knocked it a few times, there was no reaction at all from the spiritual crystal. It was as if there was a malfunction. At this time, neither Rhodes nor Ehorn could do anything, and what they expected that another Ehorn would come out to fight them did not happen. In short, Then¡ª¡ªthings got weird.
Rhodes stood on the edge of the tower and looked into the distance. He always felt that something was not quite right, because the rules here seemed to be changing all the time, which was not very scientific. The rules predicted by Rhodes at the beginning were a little different from when they met Ehorn and others later, but now it is not a little different, but completely different. This is like a track and field competition. At first it was thought to be a 100-meter dash, then it became a middle-distance relay race, but now it seems to be heading for a long-distance marathon. Although this is not impossible to happen in the spiritual world, Rhodes feels that with Karen's character, it is not appropriate to make such a mistake. After all, as a "scientific researcher", Kallen's character is still very rigorous. If she has such a casual side at work, then Rhodes will have to check whether there are any shortcomings on those magic battleships after he returns.
What to do next?
When a bug appears in the game, you must contact GM as soon as possible, but now Rhodes looked to the left, to the right, and then to the top. In the end, he helplessly spread his hands and shrugged. It seemed that the system settings of this "game" were not very perfect. At least he could not find a way to complain to customer service. However, Rhodes believed that Kallen should be monitoring the process. He believed that even if he did not take any action, Kallen would respond soon.
Sure enough, when Rhodes and Ehorn were so bored that they almost planned to make a pot of tea and savor life, a beam of light fell from the sky, and then Kallen's figure appeared from it. But unlike before, Kallen's face at this moment was cold and serious, with unconcealable anxiety in her eyes. However, after seeing Rhodes and Ehorn, her expression softened slightly.
"Mr. Rhodes, it seems like everything is fine with you, that's good"
"What happened?"
After glancing at Ehorn, who closed one eye and made it clear that he wanted to secretly observe the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Rhodes quickly followed Kallen's wishes and walked to her side, and then the two of them He walked to the side and started whispering. And Aihorn was very discerning and did not follow. Instead, he leaned on the spiritual crystal and admired the surrounding night scene in boredom.
"Yes, Master, the situation is a little abnormal. The thing is like this"
Under Kallen¡¯s narration, Rhodes quickly understood the problem. Indeed, just as he expected, Rhodes' prediction of the rules of the game at the beginning was actually very correct. After all, this is a competition, and in order to avoid unnecessary cannibalism, the Kallens formulated such rules after careful thought and consideration. But soon, they discovered something was wrong. Like all programmers, if someone points out that their program has a bug, they will just look at it like an idiot and wonder if the idiot made a mistake on his own. And the Karens are not immune. They didn't think there was anything wrong with their seemingly perfect rules at first. Instead, they preferred that the contestants themselves hadn't figured out the rules of the game yet, and those mistakes were only within the allowed range. Within, the Kallens were patiently and quietly waiting for them to get on the right track. However, it was precisely because of this that the Kallens lost the best opportunity to adjust. When they realized that something was wrong, they were already a little unable to deal with it.
"Master, you must have heard those roaring and collapsing sounds."
"Yeah, I heard it."
Hearing Kallen¡¯s question, Rhodes nodded. Because the collapse sounds are very regular, they will collapse almost every once in a while. Although Rhodes was a little curious about what was going on, he still didn't ask. Although he didn't want to go and have a look, the problem was that there were no patterns in these collapsed locations. It was impossible for Rhodes to predict in advance where the collapse would occur and just run over and wait. So in the end, he did not choose to carry out this action. The rest depends on God's will?, it would be best if they can meet them, but if they can't meet them - it doesn't matter, it shouldn't be something you have to take care of in the first place, right?
"Before, we thought it was just a ripple effect caused by fighting between groups."
Kallen's expression was very calm, but Rhodes could see that "this is definitely not an excuse for us not noticing the abnormal situation" - but since I insisted on it, then Rhodes also I was too embarrassed to lift up the other person's skirt to reveal her bottom. After all, this is also a matter of face, and technical staff are particularly sensitive in this regard. Since they already know that they are wrong, Rhodes will save some face for them and not say anything bad. Looking at Rhodes nodding, Karen's eyes had a strange look in her eyes, but in the end she coughed and said softly.
"Later we noticed that something was wrong with the situation Maybe you didn't notice, Master, in fact, you are the only one who has actually completed the task of 'obtaining the spiritual crystal'."
¡°You mean to say¡¡¡¡¡±
Hearing this, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what it meant.
"Only Catherine and Xiaowu Loli got the spiritual crystal? But now there are only spiritual crystals left Oh, no, now there is one less."
Raising his head and scanning the city in front of him, Rhodes soon discovered that the light of another spiritual crystal had dimmed. Seeing this scene, Kallen also frowned, with an uneasy and nervous expression on her face. But soon, she regained her composure.
"Yes, we made a mistake in the design, in fact"
Having said this, Kallen paused for a rare moment, seeming to be hesitating whether to tell Rhodes the truth. But in the end, she gritted her teeth and revealed the biggest problem now.
"Those spiritual crystals were taken away by other personality projections."
"¡¡¡¡¡¡Aha?"
Hearing this, Rhodes was stunned. And after a while, under Kallen's gesticulating description, he finally understood what the other party meant. In fact, there are not only three spiritual projection personalities, but generally speaking, this trinity situation will appear in the spiritual world, that is, these three spiritual personalities are the most powerful. But this does not mean that there are no other spiritual personalities. It's just that those spiritual personalities are really lacking, such as lack of self, lack of restraint, or other reasons. All in all, it seems that everyone has various situations in their inner world. If the emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are refined and turned into spiritual projections one by one, then the spiritual personality in a person's body will be eighty if not one hundred. .
At the beginning, Kallen and the others only brought the most mature people here. Then the spiritual channels were closed, but now they discovered that someone was secretly opening these spiritual channels to release those less mature spiritual personalities. This surprised Kallen and others. There is no doubt that the road back to various spiritual worlds is still closed, but they ignored one thing, that is, using small things to make a big difference. Just like the bars in a prison, in order to prevent prisoners from going out, their bodies will certainly not be allowed to pass. But there is no problem that a cat or a mouse can escape from that gap. This is the case with the barrier leading to the spiritual channel of Kallen and others. Although their sealing is enough to block those mature personalities, it has no hindrance to those half-finished products.
So when the Kallens discovered that something was wrong, a considerable number of "semi-finished" personalities had already ran in here. And those high towers collapsed because of this - this was not because of the battle, but the instinctive reaction of the spiritual world to resist the appearance of foreign objects. Now the problem before Kallen suddenly became bigger. She could not do anything even if she opened the spiritual channel and let the other personalities go back to their homes to find their mothers. Unless all the personalities were recovered, otherwise if she just If the three main personalities are retrieved, then after the spiritual connection is severed, the other elves will be more or less mentally damaged as a result. She may even lose the ability to express certain emotions. After all, Kallen still cannot confirm how many half-finished personalities have been mixed into this game.
"Then what should we do next?"
Hearing this, Rhodes also felt quite a headache. When he thought that there were an unknown number of various semi-finished personalities running around here, he also felt troublesome. And this does not have no impact on Rhodes himself. After all, these personalities are the personalities of elf cards. If one of them is missing, they may cause mental fluctuations. Although it is not known who did such a thing, it is certain that this is definitely not a scene that Rhodes wants to see.
"There is only one way, according to our design, inSpiritual crystals can sense the surrounding soul personalities and fuse them together. So" After saying this, Kallen made a gesture to the spiritual crystal not far away, and then along with Kallen's finger, the previously large spiritual crystal suddenly shrank, just in the blink of an eye. Kung Fu shrunk into an existence the size of a bracelet, and then Kallen handed the bracelet to Rhodes.
"You have also noticed that these crystals are made according to the elves themselves, so they can sense the same kind of breath. After discussion, we decided to temporarily change the purpose of the spiritual crystal. As long as your companion wears the bracelet, it will Sensing the location of all projections of similar personalities in the entire city. Now we only hope that you can absorb all these personalities back before all the remaining spiritual crystals are taken away."
"This is a big project"
Hearing this, Rhodes couldn't help but reach out and pinch his forehead, but he quickly remembered something.
"Wait a minute, isn't it possible to only absorb personalities of the same type? I only have Ehorn around now, and Little Five Lolita and Catherine are not here? And I haven't met the other Donna yet. If I meet other personalities, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no way to absorb it.¡±
"We have naturally noticed this. In fact, right now, I and the other two are looking for those personality projections who are qualified to obtain spiritual crystals, and giving them the same instructions - and this is what I am going to give now. Your instructions, Master." As she spoke, Kallen stretched out her hand and pointed to the park in the middle of the street not far away, then she blinked and spoke. "Please go there as soon as possible. Other spiritual personality projections will meet you there. Please declare in advance that the battle between personality projections equipped with spiritual crystal bracelets will not be absorbed even if they are defeated. Only those who can absorb There is no projection wearing a spiritual bracelet. And, to be on the safe side, we will guard the last passage. So, that¡¯s it, please forgive me for being rude¡¡¡¡¡±
"etc."
Hearing this, Rhodes called out to Kallen who was about to turn around and leave. Upon hearing Rhodes' call, Kallen paused for a moment before turning around.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
"You should already have clues about the shady story behind this conspiracy, Kallen."
Staring into the eyes of the girl in front of him, Rhodes asked calmly. It's no wonder, after all, this is no small matter, and this is Kallen's spiritual world. Since they are all aware of the problem, it is impossible not to understand the root cause of the problem. After all, this place is like the inside of the human body. No one knows how painful it is if a disease occurs in any place than the person involved. Facing Rhodes' inquiry, Kallen was unexpectedly silent for a moment, and then turned around.
"I'm sorry, until now, we don't have enough evidence and clues to confirm the real behind-the-scenes instructions, but please don't worry, I will inform you if there is definite information."
After saying this, Kallen disappeared into the darkness without a trace. Rhodes looked at Kallen's back in silence and didn't say much - he had a feeling that Kallen knew exactly who did this. However, for some reason, I did not explain myself.
But even if Kallen didn't say anything, Rhodes could guess a thing or two. After all, in this world, there is only one person who can do something under Kallen's nose without being discovered by Kallen. But nowit seems that I have no chance to play the detective game. Thinking of this, Rhodes turned around and looked at Ehorn who was staring at him curiously, then smiled slightly and handed over the bracelet in his hand.
"Miss Ehorn, would you like to play a hunting game?"
After learning what happened from Rhodes, Aihorn quickly nodded and agreed to his invitation. After all, Ehorn is not an idiot. She knew that things were a little abnormal now, so she agreed to Rhode's proposal without saying anything. Then Rhode took Ehorn to the park in the middle of the street that Kallen had pointed to before. run in the direction. After all, according to Karen, several other major personality projections will also join her there. This is also normal. After all, to eliminate those half-finished personalities, the more help, the better. And although Kallen didn't explain it, Rhodes knew very well that the other main personalities probably also understood the meaning - if those secondary personalities were just playing around, that would be it. But now, they actually attack the spiritual crystal, which means that they are likely to want to grow up and take over the position of the main personality. And Aihorn may have realized this, so he agreed. After all, no one wants their position to be replaced by others, let alone?It is also the irreplaceable existence of spiritual personality. The loser is very likely to be eaten up to the point where no scraps are left. No one would smile and accept this kind of thingprobably.
Under the leadership of Rhodes, the two quickly arrived at the park in the middle of the street not far away. The difference from before was that those shadow monsters had completely disappeared and did not stop them again. I don¡¯t know if Kallen removed those shadow monsters to avoid accidents, but now, having one less obstacle is naturally the best thing for Rhodes.
"Now it seems that we are the only ones who arrived early. I don't know what the situation is like for the others."
Looking at the empty park in the middle of the street, Rhodes said to himself. He had asked Ehorn to sense it before, and found that there were seven or eight projected personalities of Ehorn in the entire competition venue. Although this number is not small, it is still acceptable compared to hundreds or thousands. It's just that there are almost ten projected personalities of Ehorn, so I'm afraid the other people won't be much better
"Ah, Mr. Rhodes, I finally found you!!"
Just when Rhodes was thinking, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts. Even without turning his head to look, Rhodes almost guessed the owner of the voice. Sure enough, the moment Rhodes looked along the sound, he saw two figures that were no longer familiar to him.
Those are Xiaowu Loli and Catherine.
