I am the Lord of the Gods in a world of mist

Chapter 22 22. Phantom of the past

When the family members were following her, Xu Zhi did not need to give orders through the game console, so when she saw the man's face full of panic and wanted to run away, she called Xiao Yi, and the black snake hiding in the dark appeared like It was as if he was connected to her and appeared at the door to stop the other party.

Sometimes, not only can she detect the emotions of the family members through an invisible feeling, but the family members also seem to be aware of some of her emotions and thoughts, which undoubtedly makes them understand each other very well.

The man's expression became frightened when he saw the sudden appearance of the big snake. This black snake beyond his understanding made him unable to make a sound for a while. It was not until Xiaoyi wrapped his body around him and dragged him into the cafeteria that he began to struggle in vain.

Xu Zhi had been observing the man's condition and found that when his body came into contact with the bright red flesh and blood in the cafeteria, there were obviously more and more black threads in his eyes. When he came to the center of the cafeteria, he instantly lost his sense of being a human being. His consciousness and eyes were all black, and he became a madman.

It's just that as a "newborn", his combat effectiveness is far inferior to those in the attached middle school. Even though his hands are not bound, he is completely unable to cause any harm to Xiao Yi.

Seeing that this man had completely fallen, Xu Zhi did not keep him any longer, and Xiaoyi strangled the man to death with just a little force.

What Xu Zhi is more concerned about now is the flesh and blood on the ground that still show no signs of dryness and blackening after several hours. They are as fresh as if they had just been taken out of the human body.

She suppressed the feeling of nausea and looked down at the severed limbs. In addition to finding that almost all of them had been torn off by violence, some of the limbs also had △ shapes that seemed to have been carved with a knife. The wounds were very deep, but because they were everywhere, It's all blood stains that are hard to spot at first glance.

“Does this graphic mean anything?”

Xu Zhi herself didn't know anything, but she had a cheat that seemed to know a lot.

After turning around again to make sure she had collected enough information, she turned on the game console.

Sometimes the narrator does not proactively provide her with information, but requires her to touch certain points or know some clues before telling her more.

Sure enough, when she opened the game, the narrator appeared.

[You seem to be getting used to this new life, but variables are always everywhere. What did you discover this time? 】

[It turns out to be a phantom from the past. 】

[Mysterious patterns, ancient and cruel rituals, people in madness are longing for something and calling for something. 】

[They have the most extreme beliefs and are the most loyal fanatics of Chibei. Restoring the glory of the past and returning to the past is their lifelong pursuit. 】

【Unfortunately】

[What you see is just one of the ancient rituals. The old inheritance has been cut off long ago, and so is the ritual. Now, it is dilapidated and has no spirituality. 】

[But even so, it is not an existence that mortals can peep into. Just one glance can make a wavering person fall into the abyss. 】

[You need to be vigilant, the thing summoned by the ritual is far from what you can defeat now. 】

[But there is no need to worry. Even the projection cannot be realized at this scale. It seems that they have not mastered the correct method yet. 】

This time the narration was very talkative, so much that Xu Zhi could easily detect that she might have touched on something very important.

"Do I need to destroy these?" She asked when the narration stopped.

[Without the timely replenishment of flesh and blood, it is already withering and will completely lose its vitality early tomorrow morning. If you are worried, just destroy the patterns on the stumps. 】

"So, those lunatics, not those fanatics, set up a simple trap just to replenish flesh and blood for this ritual?"

The narrator didn't answer her, but Xu Zhi thought that was probably the case.

Although they are murderous, there is no need to gather people together and kill them. The reason why they do that is to satisfy their desire to kill and for this ritual.

In fact, the ritual is the most important. For this reason, the bespectacled man even asked those irrational fanatical believers to restrain their desire to kill.

"You destroyed the patterns on these limbs."

Xu Zhi gave an order to the two Familia. It was a very simple matter for them. Running over Xiao Yi's body would completely turn the stumps into flesh. The dog could also destroy the pattern with one claw.

When the place was completely destroyed and the narrator stopped talking, Xu Zhi left with his two family members.

The time now is no longer enough for her to let the family members go out for another 7 hours. The current inflexibility is that once the hang-up is turned on, the only choice is to hang up for 7 hours, or stay with her. It is a bit too rigid. Xu Zhi hopes to upgrade next time This rigid AFK system can be improved.

People will never be satisfied. When he first unlocked the idle game, Xu Zhi thought it was too perfect. But now he begins to feel that the idle setting is still too rigid. Can't this game be more perfect?

Since the family members could not be allowed to go out to hunt on their own now, and they happened to be outside, Xu Zhi stopped by the bookstore.

There were quite a few bookstores near the Affiliated High School, so Xu Zhi chose a well-known chain.

After the incident in Yuncheng, the bookstore was naturally closed, and the door was locked at the moment. However, this was obviously not possible for Xu Zhi, who had a family. After violently breaking into the door, she first found a random book and tried it, and found that it could be loaded into the game warehouse. , but a book will occupy one grid.

She calculated that now she only had thirty grids, and she couldn't take too many books with her. But fortunately, she still had two "coolies", so putting them in a bag and letting them carry them was also a method.

In the end, Xu Zhi spent nearly two hours selecting nearly 80 books and took them home.

"It will take at least two months to finish reading this, right?"

After returning home, Xu Zhi muttered to himself as he piled books in the room.

This is still an optimistic situation. After all, her understanding and memory are much better than before, but she is not sure whether she can read at home safely. After all, who knows when the next accident will come?

At night, Xu Zhi fell into a deep sleep with her family members when midnight came. Although her body was still a little tired, her spirit seemed to be much stronger than ordinary people. She only needed five hours of sleep a day to be full of energy. Hell, even if I use my brain to read most of the time, I won’t feel mentally exhausted.

Xu Zhi has realized that his position may not be a melee ability user.

The only thing she struggled with before going to bed was that when she got up tomorrow morning, she planned to invest in cores to create a spiritual body, but the cores she could invest in at the moment were only one [Heart] and most [Cups].

Will entering a spiritual body with the [Cup] attribute have any impact on her? But this worry is not enough to make her timid, not to mention that the game console has not tricked her so far, so she is willing to give it a try.
