Crown of Silence

Chapter 267 Tracking

Ye Qingxuan saw his head fly up from his shoulders, fly into the sky, fall to the ground, and roll into the corner.

He was stunned for a moment, touched his neck, and then touched his head: his neck was intact and his head was still in its original position.

Everything seems fine.

Whose head is that flying up?

"My illusion can't fool him for long, why are you still stupid?" Laura's voice sounded again: "Let's go, he has merged with the entire Shadow of Avalon, you can't kill him here!"

In the sky, the light of the blue moon becomes more and more strange, and there is a hint of coquettishness in the dimness. Just looking at it makes people feel trance-like.

Relying on the resonance between the two and the transfer of the beacon, Laura used the light of the blue moon to forcefully transmit the power across the border.

Distortion level.

This is an out-and-out distortion.

At that moment, she eroded the blade with moonlight and assimilated it. The iron blade turned into nothingness of light. The moonlight and the boy passed by each other.

Even without touching it, a thin trace of blood was left on Ye Qingxuan's neck.

Unexpectedly, the direction Laura chose was the extreme "fantasy embodiment", which can embody illusions into entities, and can also transform entities into illusions.

At the same time, it combines the power of illusion and telepathic schools. It seems that the difficulty of the ‘scepter’ that Laura chose for herself is not generally high.

Although there were random thoughts in his mind, Ye Qingxuan had no time to hesitate. The moment Laura's voice sounded, he turned around and left.

On the spot, Parcival was so confused by the head that appeared in the illusion that he didn't even notice the young man melting into the moonlight.

The experience of becoming one with the blue moon is quite strange, as if the whole person has lost its entity and is floating in the air at an incredibly fast speed. He passed dozens of meters in one step, and his legs felt like wind.

After running for two steps, Ye Qingxuan suddenly stopped, turned around, and turned back!

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"He came from that direction. There was still blood on the sword when he came...whose blood do you think belongs to it?"

Ye Qingxuan bypassed the direction of Parcival and ran quickly towards the place where it came from. He could almost hear Laura gritting her teeth, "Ye Qingxuan, are you looking for death!"

"Ahaha, sister, you really know how to joke."

He grinned and said softly: "Since I entered Avalon, what have I done not to seek death? I finally found some clues. No matter whether I can find it or not, I will look for it first!"

A pair of white eyes appeared in the moonlight, seemingly dissatisfied.

But Laura's power was still not removed. Instead, it enveloped the young man more closely, melting him into the ubiquitous moonlight.

Only a breeze blew through the ruins.

Soon, Ye Qingxuan stopped and saw the miserable corpse.

He was obviously a victim who was left behind. The unlucky guy was probably hit by Percival's sword from the front, and half of his body had been evaporated.

That’s right, evaporation.

Real evaporation.

There were only half-cooked corpses lying on the ground, being eaten by the monsters everywhere: The welfare of the Shadow of Avalon was poor, and it had not eaten a hot meal for many years.

Everyone, hurry up and eat while it's hot...

This time, Ye Qingxuan didn't need to speak, the moonlight swept across like running water, and several monsters disappeared without a trace and melted. Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan's heart went crazy.

"Why are you still standing there? You said you wanted to come and see it, and you saw it. What are you going to do next?"

"What else can be done?"

Ye Qingxuan pulled the leather gloves on his hands: "You are not as good as me in collecting evidence, just watch."

He has not used his expertise in this area for a long time since participating in the school anniversary trial. Today, he suddenly has a chance to use it. I have to say that he is a little excited.

The moonlight in his eyes was blazing, sweeping over the corpse on the ground. His gaze penetrated the pulpy flesh and looked at the broken bones below: "Judging from the bones, he should be forty years old.

The ether in the blood is thick, he should be a musician, let me see the race..."

He grabbed the half-broken head on the ground, looked at it for a moment and then nodded: "Looking at the brow bone, cheekbones, and skeleton, it shouldn't be an Anglo. As for the body...aha!"

He opened the clothes on the chest of the corpse and saw the twisted and strange emblem on the heart - the believer of the Hundred-Eyed One, "Lola, which natural disaster did this guy sign a contract with? Can you tell?"

"There are scaly soft tissues under the skin, and there are traces of webbing. Let's look behind his ears... There are no gills. It should not be a pure marine natural disaster, but probably an amphibious demon transformation."

"oh?"

Ye Qingxuan pondered: "In his forties, he is a black musician. In his pocket is the ancestral amulet that border countries like to wear. The musical instrument is a harp. He is an amphibious demon transformation... There are three bounties on the list that meet the characteristics, and one was already there last year. Dead, one is a woman, and the last remaining one is probably lying in front of us.

——He is the ‘Scale Lizard’ who has been on a bounty for twenty-one years. "

Laura was silent for a long time and asked:

"……so what?"

"It's nothing, I'm just pretending."

"..."

Laura was too lazy to speak, but Ye Qingxuan quickly turned over the corpses on the ground, until finally he found a hand-drawn map from his backpack.

Most of it had been torn into pieces, leaving only about a third.

Fortunately, their destination was marked on that simple map, but there was no relevant name, so it was almost useless.

Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and pondered, constantly comparing routes in his mind: If the Shadow of Avalon came from Avalon, then it would be easy.

For hundreds of years, the general layout of Avalon has not changed at all, so if an exhaustive search is carried out, it may not be impossible to find it...

Soon, he opened his eyes, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"No, this is not the map of Avalon, so strange."

He pinched his chin and thought: "There are indeed many matching places, but they are all trivial corners. It's so strange. The House of Representatives took such a big risk to send people in. Could it be to send people to the garbage incinerator and the pig farm? But the layout here is the same as Avalon. If it is not the map of Avalon, what the hell is it?"

"... You'd better hurry up, I can feel that Percival has seen through my illusion."

Before he finished speaking, an angry roar came from afar, and then, as if there was a real pressure spreading, the moonlight on the boy's body flickered.

But Ye Qingxuan didn't listen at all, just fell into a long contemplation. Subconsciously walking in place, until the tip of his toes kicked something, which made him tremble all over and suddenly realized.

"Lola, that's not a map of Avalon city."

He bent down and looked at the sewer cover in front of him, his eyes stunned: "It's a route map of Avalon sewer. There are too many dangers on the ground, they went through the sewer..."

In the distance, the angry hooves of Percival were getting closer and closer, and Laura was already struggling to maintain the illusion on him: "Whatever it is, it's almost done, you'd better get away!"

"No problem."

Ye Qingxuan didn't hesitate any more and jumped into the darkness of the sewer.

In the darkness, he heard the angry roar from above his head, and a series of loud noises. Another behemoth seemed to be angry, jumped out of the darkness, and began to fight fiercely.

Amidst the roars and screams, Ye Qingxuan sped up and ran away, without the slightest thought of looking back to see the result: no matter what these two were, even if they had a breath left, they would be dead if they glared at him.

The sewer was extremely quiet, without any dirtiness of Avalon, so clean that it was uncomfortable to walk in it, as if walking into a tomb of something.

Step by step, he walked into the depths of darkness and into death.

On the road, Ye Qingxuan moved forward with the moonlight in his eyes. He soon found traces of someone passing by not long ago, and there were signs of fighting. He saw two mutilated corpses one after another.

There were many demons in the middle, but Ye Qingxuan had the moonlight illusion, so he just passed by quietly and did not alarm them.

Right in the middle, there was a fork in the road, which was pitch black, without any breath emanating, and it was as quiet as a dark abyss. But for some reason, Ye Qingxuan felt hairy when he stood not far away, and did not dare to approach again.

After hesitating for a while, he took a detour.

In the long silence, he heard Laura's voice.

"Ye Qingxuan?"

He woke up from his contemplation and responded: "I'm here."

"Speak, don't let me think you're dead."

"Sorry, I'm wondering what they are going to do." Ye Qingxuan pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, their destination should be the Royal Musicians."

"Royal Musicians?"

Lola's response was stunned: "What will the Royal Musicians in the Shadow of Avalon have?"

"I don't know - maybe there will be a group of demonic musicians." Ye Qingxuan half-jokingly, and then fell silent: he was frightened by his own idea.

According to his understanding, Avalon and the Shadow of Avalon are one and the same, corresponding to each other. It's just that there are no civilians on the streets, only a group of demons.

So, what will the musicians in the Royal Musicians become here?

He didn't know, and didn't dare to think about it.

"Ye Qingxuan, if you go any further, I won't be able to help you anymore." Laura's voice was tired, with a hint of apology: "It takes too much energy to cross the Sea of ​​Ether by force, and I can't reach the level of my teacher yet."

"Except for his perversion, how many people in this world can reach the level of 'the moon rises on the sea'? It's already very difficult for you to force cross-border resonance, you don't have to blame yourself."

Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "Leave it to me next, don't worry, I will find a way to leave here."

Lola was silent for a long time, and sighed:

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Then, the moonlight on Ye Qingxuan's body rippled, and in the end, it solidified on his body like a very thin crystal.

Lola used her last strength to anchor the illusion on his body, hiding his breath and whereabouts.

Then, the resonance ended.

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath and relaxed the faint fatigue from his limbs. Fortunately, Laura had borne most of the pressure from beginning to end, and he himself did not suffer much loss.

He raised the Nine Heavens Ring and closed his eyes.

I haven't practiced for a long time, so I guess I won't be rusty, right?

A subtle melody sounded, blending into the silence and spreading quietly.

- Bolero.

The water vapor quickly gathered and condensed into threads, extending in all directions, growing and growing, until finally, it stopped at the fourth section.

The sensing distance is about 400 meters.

It is not that it cannot continue to play backwards, but if it continues, the melody will go from hidden to high-pitched, and it will progress to a level that cannot be suppressed.

If it causes the change of the Shadow of Avalon, it may not be worth the loss.

For the sewer with complex terrain, the exploration distance of 400 meters has exceeded the range of most detections and is enough.

Soon, Ye Qingxuan found several trigger traps.

He was refreshed and was about to reach the place.

I am afraid that the group of people in the House of Representatives did not expect that someone would follow them into the Shadow of Avalon. Most of the traps are very simple, and the demons will trigger the alarm when they pass by.

But for musicians, it is not difficult to dismantle them.

Especially for Ye Qingxuan, who is born in interpretation and has a solid foundation in music theory and is proficient in music theory, it is not a problem to dismantle such things.

Out of caution, he checked again and again, and after confirming that these were not chain traps and did not hide any strange things, he tiptoed around them.

Who knows what kind of ghost things will be triggered after dismantling them, so it is better to be cautious.

Soon, Bolero's thoughts came through.

Someone is guarding the front.

Alive.
