Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

The moment he heard the cry, Chen Ye suddenly looked in the direction of the sound...

With the light of the pale will-o'-the-wisp, he could clearly see the low hut covered in thorns not far away.

The construction style is very crude, like a poor building made of just a few pieces of reinforced concrete.

Like it's just for the poor.

now.

The fortune surrounding the hut has undergone a drastic change!

Only drops of blood were seen dripping out from the inky black object that looked like a demon's mouthparts.

The blood condensed into the figure of a baby in the twisted light curtain.

The baby began to cry loudly.

Their voices sounded completely inhuman, like the screams of some kind of raptor, sharp and harsh, full of malice.

Chen Ye, who had always been sensitive to sounds, instinctively frowned when he heard the noise, feeling uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

He felt a distorted consciousness, as if something that shouldn't have been born was forcibly dragged into this world through childbirth.

"What's in that cabin..."

This was the first time Chen Ye had seen such a strange sign of luck since arriving in the strange era.

He carefully observed this sign of luck and found that it almost surrounded the cabin and was locked inside, with no sign of being exposed.

Moreover, the bloody light is not directed at oneself, which means that even if one goes forward to watch, he should not encounter any danger that cannot be solved.

Chen Ye blended into the night, and with the help of the aura of the title of Lightless Stalker, he slowly and cautiously approached the direction of the cabin, intending to take a closer look at the situation there.

When moving to less than ten meters away from this hut...

A pale light shone on the ground, destroying the ability of the lightless stalker.

Looking in the direction of the light source, Chen Ye found two soul-inducing lamps hanging on the niche at the door of the hut.

suddenly.

Thick blood seeped out around the soul-inducing lamp.

Lines of blood-colored words condensed and formed in the void like insects——

[The soul-inducing lamp here seems to be bound to some kind of soul and cannot be destroyed. 】

[With a sense of conspiracy...]

[Is it a soul or some kind of monster? 】

The blood-colored text appeared briefly for a moment, and then disappeared.

Chen Ye recalled the contents of the red text prompts, frowning, and fell into deep thought.

"Bound to a certain soul... The soul-guiding lamp is indeed connected to the soul... Is it related to the [Spirit World] sequence?"

"It's just that this thing is bound to something in the house, and it might also have the flavor of a conspiracy?"

"The soul-attracting lamp does have the ability to attract souls, but if its attraction is fully utilized and a certain design is added, can it attract other more bizarre beings?"

Chen Ye has not forgotten that for this city of destiny, everything related to the [spiritual world] is considered a foreign object.

Could it be... similar to what von Lucius did at that time?

Use the method of attracting souls to summon things belonging to that world to the city of destiny, thereby having an impact on the city?

Could it be that I have encountered a part of the God War?

Thinking of this, Chen Ye suddenly became serious, but at the same time he was still a little excited.

As a high-end player in the Strange Era, he will naturally pay more attention to the God War.

This is very likely to involve the structure of the entire City of Destiny copy...

Even... from the beginning to the point where this game comes to reality, it will have a deeper existence!

Having an opportunity also means that you need to face risks.

Chen Ye relied on the fate dice to evaluate this action. The danger was relatively not that great, and he thought to himself:

"If the divine authority of destiny and the divine authority of the spiritual world are really fighting against each other, then the corresponding passage has been opened hundreds of years ago under the arrangement of Von Lucius. Therefore, similar events will definitely happen It’s all over the city and this is just one of them.”

"Opening a passage is the main way for the spiritual world to enter the City of Destiny, but this kind of passage will never open just one, but many."

"So, even if something goes wrong unexpectedly in one of the passages, it will probably not attract the attention of the gods' authority. Their level and status are too high. This is just a small part of the plan. Even if something unexpected happens, , and it may not attract my attention.”

That loud cry sounded again.

It's just... this time the crying seems to be a new one, with a new life.

Among them, the previous burst of crying was mixed, but it seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and was gradually covered up by the loud crying.

Squeak! Squeak!

Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening from behind the hut.

His figure took a few steps back and immediately hid in the shadows, using his spiritual perspective to view the surrounding scenery.

At this moment, the old wooden door in the backyard of the small house slowly opened with an unpleasant friction sound.

A few silhouettes that could barely be seen as human figures came out from behind the wooden door.

A faint fishy smell permeated the air from the interior of the wooden house far away, and was caught by Chen Ye's sharper sense of smell after unlocking [Chef].

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, concentrated his spiritual power, and his vision broke through the darkness, and he could clearly see the faces of those figures.

They were wearing uniform tattered clothes with a smell of corroded mold and dampness, just like the oil that seeped out of a corpse after it rotted, mixed with the half-rotted clothes, and eventually stuck to the skin. On the surface, I couldn't tell whether it was the clothes or the strange color patches covered by the skin.

The skin of these figures is not normal white, but as pale as a dead person, without any blood color. The water in the skin seems to have evaporated, and it is shriveled and skinny. Some places are even blackened, which is similar to the scattered spots on the surface of the clothes. The mold is so integrated that it makes people feel like these figures are wearing clothes or not.

Looking with the Eye of Luck, I found that the figure's head was covered with a halo of nothingness, and there was only a gray line, like a winding chain, leading to an evil ghost-like head.

The devil's head is far away.

These figures lingered at the door for a moment, and then walked numbly along the direction of the chain, slowly approaching the evil ghost's head step by step, as if they were trying to walk into the abyss of the head's mouth. .

"A sign of nothingness and luck..."

"Does it mean that these figures no longer have self-awareness?"

"But they seem to still retain the ability to move their bodies under the influence of certain characteristics."

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and judged from this that the reason why these figures were still moving must be affected by some kind of existence.

Last time, there were similar signs. It was the blood-colored bugs in the pollution in the Xijiang River that acted as parasites and attached themselves to the neural networks of the indigenous people, thereby controlling their actions and existing and acting in this way.

But the figures I saw this time were essentially different from the parasites polluted by the Xijiang River.

Could it be related to the soul-inducing lamp at the door?

Chen Ye plans to enter the small house and find out what's going on!

The next second.

He walked over slowly.

This time, Chen Ye did not use the characteristics of [Wanderer's Boots], but kept moving as a normal person, cautiously approaching the destination, while walking, observing the signs of luck around him, if there was any danger , then you must retreat in time to avoid the source of danger.

Finally... Chen Ye's figure came to the door of the cabin, within the range of the two soul-inducing lamps.

But at this moment, the wick of the soul-inducing lamp suddenly shook a few times, and a dangerous spiritual vigilance suddenly rose from Chen Ye's heart, like an alarm bell ringing. The bloody light slowly spread out from the wick, like a bloody snake spitting out a long letter, entwining from the cold area of ​​Chen Ye's neck.

Chen Ye took a few meters with one step, retreated a few steps, and escaped into the shadows again...

This dangerous feeling quickly faded away as the signs of luck dissipated.

Chen Ye stared at the two quietly burning soul-inducing lamps at the door, frowned, and said to himself:

"It seems... if an outsider enters the light of the soul-inducing lamp, traces of the invasion will be discovered, which will trigger the characteristics of this cabin and be attacked."

With the help of luck, Chen Ye saw that this hut was connected to the lightless land and connected to some deeper darkness...

This shows that this cabin is probably also a property in the Sunless Land and is protected by rules.

If the intruder does not have very strong strength and rashly invades into unknown areas and violates these rules, he will fall into a very passive situation, with a high chance of losing his life, and the consequences will be even more unpredictable.

Chen Ye frowned slightly and said to himself:

"If you want to enter this hut and check the status inside, you have to find a way to eliminate the light of the soul-inducing lamp."

"But... I don't have the characteristics of the real [Darkness] sequence."

"As for the [Lightless Stalker]... you need to have no light source to sneak inside, but the light source of the soul-inducing lamp will destroy the stealth mode."

"Is there any way to get the light source of the soul-inducing lamp..."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that since the soul-guiding lamp was probably related to the [spirit world] sequence, could he use the characteristics of the [soul-transferring sound] to affect the soul-guiding lamp?

Maybe this method is really feasible?

Thinking of this, Chen Ye took out the white flute, put it to his mouth, puffed up his chest, and played hard.

The next second...

A burst of sharp white flute sound pierced the dark space at a high frequency. The sound exceeded the frequency that the human ear can receive, turned into ultrasonic waves, and extinguished the soul-inducing lamp.

Suddenly, the light of the soul-inducing lamp suddenly dimmed, and was actually extinguished by the penetrating power of the white flute.

"It really works!"

Chen Ye smiled slightly, feeling happy for this successful attempt.

Suddenly, he realized that the penetrating power of sound was also one of the energies that could be utilized...

It is played in the form of ultrasonic waves, which has super power. At the same time, because it exceeds the range that the human ear can receive, it is not easy to be discovered by other weird things.

After all, most of the weird rules are made by humans, unless there are some occupations in the [Demon] and [Monster] sequences. Otherwise, most of the aboriginal body structures are similar to humans, and their hearing and vision will also be blocked. Within the scope of human beings, only some professions have different characteristics, but they may not be related to hearing.

The method Chen Ye found can be said to affect the soul-inducing lamp without disturbing other beings so easily.

Of course...if you are unlucky and encounter such a being, there will be nothing to say.

The light source disappeared, and Chen Ye's figure sneaked into the darkness again, like a water curtain moving in the shadows, quietly came to the window of the hut, and quietly looked in...

At this moment, his pupils shrank slightly...

The scene in the house... is simply difficult to describe in words, beyond the imagination of normal people!

I saw that the whole room was filled with corpses.

On the bodies of these corpses, black mold-like bugs were traveling through the blood vessels under the skin, sucking the nutrients from them.

In the center of the hut was a stone bed.

Lying on the stone bed was a very fat woman with a big belly. She had long hair, a pale face, and a painful expression. She was suffering from the pain of a female giving birth.

However, she seems to be used to enduring this kind of pain. Her eyes are empty and her expression is numb. She only occasionally shows an unbearable expression and her mouth is slightly open, but no sound can come out. I don't know if it is because her throat is still hoarse or because of the surrounding environment. The cries of "wow wah wah" kept coming, getting louder and louder, making her no longer want to make any sound.

Puff puff!

Thick blood was left along the stone bed.

There was a bloody baby's body under the bed, and the outline of a human could barely be seen.

That loud cry came from the baby's mouth.

However, not long after the baby made a loud noise, the surrounding mold-like bugs immediately pounced on the baby crazily and ate away at the baby's entire body.

Those mold-like bugs gradually grew up, and their bodies were blood-colored, like centipedes.

After sucking the blood, these bugs grew to be as thick as two or three fingers. After they were full, their movements became slow and leisurely, slowly crawling onto the woman's shoulders, along her neck, and into her mouth.

At this moment, the woman's belly suddenly grew bigger again, as if some new life was being born inside.

at the same time……

The soul-inducing lamp in the wooden house suddenly flickered a few times again, and the wick began to burn, as if to summon something over.

Chen Ye's spirituality once again felt a sense of crisis!

It was too late for him to play the [Soul Crossing Sound], causing the soul-inducing lamp to burn again.

Looking around, he suddenly found a wooden box half a meter high near the door.

As long as he crouched behind, he could just use the cover of the wooden box to avoid the light of the soul-inducing lamp.

Chen Ye quickly hid behind the box...

At this moment, a burst of white light erupted from the wick, and the soul-inducing lamp was lit again...
