Lost Narrative Poetry

"Did you really run away?"

Xia Ran was suspended in mid-air, stepping on the clouds under her feet, looking in all directions with a confused expression.

Surrounded by a Gobi desert, it is desolate and lifeless, with only rolling yellow sand and the scorching sun, steaming heat waves, roaring hot air, and a suffocating desolation.

Unknowingly, he had chased him all the way here, an unknown distance away from Jimo, and he had no idea where this place was.

His spiritual thoughts extended in all directions, and the art of seeing and hearing from heaven and earth was also operating. At this moment, his perception ability suddenly rose to an unusually strange and subtle level, as if the earth, mountains and rivers were all in the palm of his hand, no matter how far away things were. Can be seen or heard.

However, even so, he was still unable to capture any clues, which meant that the subtle connection in the mysterious sense that he concentrated on trying to capture had been completely severed at this moment...

Just like if there is an Internet, you can naturally quickly check real-time hot news from all over the world. No matter where it happens in any corner of the earth, you can instantly grasp the corresponding information.

But if some information is very sensitive and is immediately blocked by the relevant parties across the entire network, and soon even various linked pages will turn into "404 not found" results, then there is nothing you can do. Perhaps if we continue to work hard to conduct a blanket search, we can still find fragmentary clues.

It's just that it takes a lot of time and effort, and it may not necessarily be rewarding. It's not as exaggerated as finding a needle in a haystack, but it certainly won't be easy.

This is why Xia Ran is more or less entangled. Although he is reluctant to admit it, it seems that the guy still escaped from him? Monkey Sun really found out the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand for the first time?

Although this seems normal, after all, when the other party was escaping, he showed a series of abilities that belonged to Xia Ran. Even the second method seemed to have been successfully copied, and it was so brutal that it would not last long. There is bound to be some price to pay later.

However, it is undeniable that, at least after copying Xia Ran's ability template, it will be really difficult for the opponent to escape if he wants to. The world is big and the six realms are vast, but the other party can go anywhere.

Especially now that even the clues have been cut off, who knows where that guy has gone. If he keeps hiding in the dark and waits until the most critical moment to suddenly jump out and give him a painful blow...

——Well, this thing doesn’t seem to be funny at all.

"It's troublesome..."

Xia Ran sighed, reached into the golden ripples in the void, and then took out a strange scroll, unfolded it in front of his eyes, and read it carefully in the sky.

It was the seal that was removed from the sealed demonic artifact when forging the fairy sword. It was an ancient scroll from the world of "The Elder Scrolls". It was not a matryoshka doll, but it was what it was.

And it can also be used as an extremely powerful magic item. After all, it was an ancient scroll that banished Alduin to Skyrim in the distant future during the Dragon War in prehistoric times.

The unique thing about this ancient scroll owned by Xia Ran is that it contains knowledge about the "Tower". But just like all Elder Scrolls have in common, it can also show various events on the timeline, not only the past and present, but also the future.

Xia Ran's current ability is enough to use such a function and read the contents recorded above...

As long as appropriate adjustments are made, the Elder Scrolls will display various records and contents on the current timeline. It will not lose its function just because it leaves the world of origin, but can be perfectly integrated. Go into the world view of any plane and display various possibilities on the current timeline...

However, the price is that if you read too much, Xia Ran may still be blind for a period of time, although it will only be less than half a day.

And the most important thing is that it is rather bad at predicting the future. Even if one has the ability to read the contents of the scrolls and retell them, the events in these predictions are not definitely going to happen, but are just a possible deduction.

However--

When the event foreshadowed in the scroll actually occurs on the current timeline, the record of the event in the scroll will in turn be fixed...

To put it simply, just like archery, it cannot ensure absolutely accurate prediction of where each arrow will land, but it can wait until the arrow falls and then draw a target at the landing point...

This kind of operation is simply suffocating, so Xia Ran has never used this thing in the past.

However, it is not completely useless. At least compared to parallel time and space observation, the content displayed on the Elder Scroll is more intuitive and easier to understand, and it is also possible to directly search for certain content and follow the Listing them one by one in chronological order naturally seems much more convenient and faster.

Even if it cannot be fully believed, it can at least be used as a reference for clues. Moreover, Xia Ran saw the vampire incident with his own eyes and intervened with his own hands. It is something that can be determined to have happened. Therefore, in the Elder Scrolls, this There will inevitably be fixed records.

Therefore, the clues related to it will never be ignored. At such a time, using such a prop is the right choice.

Through a special interpretation method, Xia Ran quickly saw what he wanted to see from the adjusted scroll.

After a long while, he closed the scroll with an expressionless expression: "This thing is indeed not reliable at all..."

The scroll did show what happened today, including the sudden attack by a group of people including the vampire on Jimo, a town in the East China Sea, and the result of being repelled by Xia Ran and others.

If you just look at the content, it is very detailed. It is almost like reading a short story. The events are described from a third-person perspective. Although there is still a lack of revelation of the motivations of the vampires and others, and it is not clear what they are crazy about. .

But this is not important. What is important is that there are no more things to be listed next——

It was as if this group of people gave in decisively after hitting an iron plate and suffering a big loss, and they never jumped around or caused trouble again... However, how could this be possible?

Xia Ran is more inclined to think that the ancient scrolls are unreliable, and even the possibilities cannot be deduced to him.

After pondering for a moment, he once again took out a severed hand from the storage space. It was the left hand that had been chopped off from the body of the killed vampire youth. It was suspected to be part of the corpse of the true body of the god and demon.

In fact, this is indeed the case——

"Name: Corpse Hand"

"Category: Equipment (Special)"

"Rarity: Legend"

"Main attribute 1: The left hand of the kinkiller - the left hand of Cain who killed his brother Abel because he hated his brother Abel. Although the hand received his brother's blood, the descendant of the original person is still immortal and possesses unimaginable power. And density, the texture is hard and not bad”

"Main Attribute 2: The Curse of the Vampire Ancestor - The left hand of the world's first vampire still contains some life. If it is carried all the time, it will be assimilated by the curse and gradually become a vampire and approach the posture of the ancestor. Eventually, it may Become the vessel for the ancestor’s resurrection.”

"Main Attribute 3: Embers of Great Power - The level of existence of the left hand has reached a realm beyond the reach of ordinary people. The decayed form still retains a power beyond common sense, and can even interfere with the basic physical rules of the world to a certain extent. , even though this power is just residue."

"Main Attribute 4: Fallen Divinity Afterglow - By greatly overdrawing the user's life, soul, will, reason, etc. as a cost and burning it, it can briefly rekindle the fallen divinity in the left hand and temporarily retrieve it completely The power of the past, but even with only one hand, it is a power that transcends the world. How much it can be carried and exerted is a question that the user must face."

"Special effect: The beginning of evil - Cain is the ancestor of evil people. He brought death to the world. He himself is evil, so carrying or using this severed hand for a long time may cause the user to be unknowingly His twisted soul and thinking have undergone tremendous changes from his personality to his concepts.”

"Evaluation: The hand symbolizes strength. It is said that Cain's left hand held a huge secret related to the entire world, so it was cut off..."

…………

Xia Ran looked at this special piece of equipment and had a more or less subtle feeling.

After this severed hand was cut off by himself, it no longer had any vitality. It was no longer as long and white as it was on the vampire's body before, flawless and as plump as jade.

Instead, it became dry and rotten, like a severed hand torn from a mummy, which was very ugly.

However, although it does not look very good, its quality and strength are real. A vampire with this palm makes Xia Ran's mirror killing technique ineffective - because this palm is used as a vampire. When a part of a limb is removed, the personality in turn covers the life level of the vampire.

Xia Ran sensed it carefully, trying to search for possible connections through this severed hand, which was still part of the vampire's body not long ago.

However, it is meaningless. This severed hand only has its own unique information. All other information entanglements have been wiped out by the higher level, leaving no trace behind.

It obviously looks like a dry and rotten mummy hand, but it is cleaner than anything else. There are no bacteria, microorganisms and the like on it, and there is no dirt. The so-called dry and rotten hand has a very dirty feeling. , it’s just an illusion.

Xia Ran took out the magic mirror again without giving up, but the result was the same. The connection on the magic mirror only pointed to the vampire who had been killed. However, although the parallel existence was also the real body, not the clone.

But they are also exactly the same, without any difference, but completely different existences...

Therefore, the mysterious connection on the magic mirror did not point to the new vampire, leaving Xia Ran unable to grasp any clues.

"How could the contact be suddenly cut off so completely? Did that guy die immediately?" The young Taoist who did not believe in evil was unwilling to give up just like that, so he hesitated and decided to continue searching and tracking.
