The Master of the Strange Realm

"He feels that he has no one to rely on, that everything around him may be harmful to him, and that everyone else is trying to pry into his secrets, so he has to pretend to be 'normal Jenkins'. The alienation from others is what he wants to do. Yes, he will be frightened and push away when others approach him. Do you think his unwillingness to participate in social activities is really all because he doesn’t like socializing? "

This is hard to say.

"Jenkins placed all his trust in chocolate. Therefore, once this only life-saving trust is destroyed, he will probably collapse on the spot, so he will pretend that he knows nothing in order to maintain normalcy. Image of Man Jenkins.”

Alexia raised her head and looked into the distance as she spoke. There was not much abnormal expression on her face. The short lady was confident that she could correct her fiancé's problems.

The end of the ceremony caused the thick fog to reappear, and you couldn't see anything at all when you looked up.

"To be honest, I was really surprised that Jenkins didn't develop the idea of ​​being world-weary, schizophrenic, or trying to destroy the world. The appearance of chocolate helped him, who was trembling a year ago, and gave him something to rely on. Then Heather Wei, Bryony, me, Dolores, Julia, Sigrid, Jessica, one after another people appeared around him who could warm him, so he did not go to extremes and still loved this The world. Maybe the world is also helping him, or it is because it is afraid of him that it sends so many radiant ladies to him."

Miss Audrey did not expose her friend's self-praise, but looked at the direction where the silver dragon took Jenkins away:

"Although your analysis seems to make some sense, I still think Jenkins' psychology is very normal. I am his divination teacher and have been alone with him many times. He behaves very normally... Speaking of which, he replied What is the church doing? You can’t find the doomsday document when you return now. Damn it, he will just miss the doomsday document delivered halfway, and we still have to find a way to send him into the treacherous realm."

"The doomsday document is not very important. After nurturing the World Tree, he has already found the formula for victory."

Alexia used a metaphor that was very suitable for her status as a mathematician, and then looked at the direction Jenkins left with some loneliness:

"It would be nice if Jenkins met me first instead of chocolate."

The glum cat on top of his head immediately became energetic, baring his teeth and claws to show Alexia some color. Alexia laughed. In fact, Jenkins' cat was as easy to understand as Jenkins himself.

"But Jenkins will have to face this fact sooner or later, right?"

Miss Audrey said worriedly.

"The moment he returns to us after his victory, he will have to face it."

Alexia continued to pet the cat above her head, and the group walked towards the gate of the abandoned hospital site, notifying the church that they could come in to clean up the mess.

Since Mr. Corpse was killed by Jenkins, the strange atmosphere and power that enveloped the abandoned hospital has disappeared. Ashes were scattered all over the hospital's overgrown courtyard. Shoes made a rustling sound when stepping on the layer of ashes, as if the ground suddenly became soft.

"So, when the time comes, Chocolate will need our help."

Alexia said, and the cat above her gave another melancholy "meow" in agreement. To make Jenkins accept the fact that the "innocent" cat he raised is actually not innocent, just acting coquettishly won't do it. So she needs help from Alexia, Hathaway and others, which is at least better than Chocolat facing Jenkins on her own.

Jenkins has psychological problems. Although the external manifestation of psychological problems is excessive concern for Chocolate, Chocolate still hopes that Jenkins can be normal. He does not intend to live at home in the form of a cat.

"Where are you going next?"

People from the Orthodox Church filed in from the group to deal with the ritual traces in the hospital courtyard. Miss Audrey asked Tariqia.

"Go back to the church. I still have some things to do. That Mr. Pisco wants to talk to me about something. It just so happens that I also have something to talk to him about."

Alexia calculated in her mind that Jenkins was now on the sixth floor, and the tower was on the ninth floor, which meant it was almost her turn to appear.

"In addition, ask the church not to send the doomsday documents back to the church. They will definitely not be able to catch up with Jenkins. Send the nine stone tablets to St. George Street."

"Why? Do you think Jenkins will come out again?"

Miss Audrey was very surprised.

"Of course not, twice is enough. Although he can't come out again, there are people who have a way to get in. I'm not saying that the Zhengshen Church is incompetent, but at this final point where fate gathers, only those who are in the whirlpool of fate can Only people can create miracles.”

Chapter 2151 Growth

When the body regained consciousness, the old woman's head was almost attached to Jenkins' face, and the body of the metal scarlet ephemera under the head, including the pair of thin wings, had completely left the house. .

Unlike the metal disaster beasts encountered in the previous strange places, the Difference Engine did not make the scarlet ephemera into a huge monster. The size of the ephemera was probably like an overgrown ordinary wild boar.

After a brief daze, Jenkins punched the old woman's face and smashed it. As red blood splattered, the head exploded like a smashed watermelon, revealing the head of a metal ephemera hidden inside the head.

With a loud bang, the fist hit the head of the metal bug. Jenkins had not yet adapted to the power of his sublimated body and soul, which was equivalent to the power of the World Tree seedling's full force, causing the head of the aggressive metal bug to deflate immediately.

The special alloy of the differential machine that even the White Bone Holy Sword could not split was now flattened by Jenkins.

The mayfly did not have eyes in the strict sense, but for some reason, two human eyes were embedded on the metal surface. The human eyes were not injured by Jenkins' fist. Jenkins looked at the human eyes on the deflated insect head for a moment, and the influence of the disaster beast on his bloodline immediately acted on him.

His body was squirming, but there was no sign of deformation. The essential ability of the disaster beast was affecting the genetic information of Jenkins' body, but at this moment he was a complete world tree, and the world tree itself was the origin of all things, so no matter how much he shifted, he was still the world tree.

He did not retreat, but instead grabbed the body of the mayfly and held it in his arms. The metal bug also struggled hard, and the metal surface squirmed like liquid metal. Then the red alloy suddenly pierced out from the brass metal shell, and dozens of steel spikes pierced Jenkins' body directly.

He was still not panicked, and opened his right hand and pressed the head of the bug. The savior emblem corresponding to the ability of [Stranger] appeared under his feet, and the circular emblem continued to expand. The evolution and sublimation of the flesh led to the effect of more powerful abilities. The flawless circular blue emblem enveloped the entire town.

The blood-red light rose to the sky in the town. Under the stimulation of [Stranger], the restless residents of the town became more manic, but unexpectedly no one dared to leave their homes because they felt the power that was fatal.

The bell ringer under the bell tower looked up at the sky, the nun in the church left the seat next to the altar and stood at the door of the church looking in the direction of Jenkins, and the ghost nurse in the hospital peeked at this scene by clinging to the door frame of the back door on the third floor.

Although the [World Tree Seedling] did not grow due to the [Four Seasons] ritual, after absorbing Jenkins' six abilities, the power of the World Tree Seedling has actually undergone a fundamental transformation.

[Stranger] almost actively activated, combined with the [World Tree Seedling]'s control of vitality, so that the blood light of the entire town flowed to Jenkins and the metal mayfly. Under the strong brilliance of the [Stranger] emblem, the blood color condensed into a substantial curtain that wrapped up the man and the insect.

The creepy metal twisting sound continued to sound in the curtain, and there was occasionally a harsh ultrasonic noise.

But soon the blood color was absorbed by Jenkins, and even the blood color of the sky in the town gradually faded, turning back to the dark sky in the normal weird world.

He was holding only a metal shell, and the part of the power belonging to the scarlet mayfly was perfectly absorbed by Jenkins. At this moment, the blood-colored light in his eyes even suppressed the faint purple brilliance. But soon the blood light receded from his eyes, which meant that he had perfectly mastered the power he had just absorbed.

Because there were no blank bubbles, no new abilities were generated. But the power of the scarlet mayfly had been absorbed by the essence of the world tree. He had mastered everything he should have mastered, and it didn't matter if the ability didn't appear.

Just like the abilities of [Titan Power], [Cat's Grace], [Dragon Kiss Poison], etc. were absorbed, but he could still use these powers at will. This has become a talent like raising a hand or walking, and it is a power that will never be erased in the true sense.

The power of the world tree includes many aspects, and in terms of blood, Jenkins already has the talent to absorb the power of any alien creature he has come into contact with and make it his own power. This is part of the ability characteristics of [World Tree Seedling], and it is a power that has been engraved in the body and soul.

Unfortunately, among all the disaster beasts, only the scarlet mayfly is the most similar and matched to the power of the world tree. If it wasn't the scarlet mayfly that appeared this time, Jenkins might have to fight the opponent head-on.

The Difference Engine probably wanted Jenkins to stay in the town as a "stranger" and become a "local" as a ritual of rebellion against the "stranger". Unfortunately, Jenkins won again this time.

"But it's not bad."

He melted the shell of the Mayfly alloy in his hand and transformed it into a metal block and stuffed it into the backpack, and put it together with the old butler of the Shadow Castle.

He shook his palm twice to feel the amazing power, and then jumped into the sky. As the backpack and the magic sword wrapped in the metal cocoon fell to the ground, Jenkins turned into a golden purple light ball in the air, and then turned into a little mouse and fell back to the ground.

Even though [Malicious Transformation] has disappeared, because of the metamorphosis, transformation has become a talent or instinct of the body. He can transform freely in the strange world without restrictions. Although he cannot immediately transform into powerful creatures such as Titans, Vampires, Unicorns or Dragons because he has not exercised, he can now transform into ordinary creatures such as mice, cats, squirrels, and deer whenever he wants.

With a happy mood, Jenkins turned back into human form. He threw the dice casually. The number 20 just reached the white light door for leaving. He smiled, put the remaining dice into a small cloth bag, tied the bag tightly, and turned to look at the third floor of the hospital.

The door was not closed tightly, revealing a gap. The ghost nurse was peeking at Jenkins through the door:

"There are not many left. These are all yours."

He threw the bag into the air and it landed in front of the door.

"Will you come back?"

The ghost opened the door, picked up Jenkins's "relics" reluctantly, and asked.

"I probably won't come back. The stranger is leaving, and someone is waiting for me at home."

He waved goodbye to Miss Ghost.

"Then be careful on the road!"

The ghost said to Jenkins in frustration. Seeing Jenkins turn around and walk towards the door to leave the town, he said goodbye to him loudly, and even took out a transparent handkerchief from somewhere and waved it high:

"Bon voyage, no matter where you go, you will succeed."

Jenkins smiled, turned around and nodded to her, and then stepped into the increasingly unstable door.

Chapter 2152 Iron Furnace

"It's the seventh time."

After the bizarre illusion, the body fell heavily to the ground. There seemed to be a layer of gravel under the body, which was very prickly. It was just that the smell around was a bit strange, it was the smell of high-grade wood and charcoal, which reminded Jenkins of the time when he slept in front of the fireplace with the cat in winter.

He did not try to struggle to get up, but tried to understand the spatial changes that made him dizzy. He had never entered the strange world so frequently, so he had never crossed the space so frequently.

In the past, Jenkins thought he was "dizzy with spatial movement", but in fact it seemed not to be the case. Instead, when he crossed the special spatial door of the strange world gate, he was trying to understand his experience. What he saw with his eyes was different from what others saw in that brief moment.

The growth of the world tree allowed the body and eyes to receive more information, so he had a brand new feeling when he crossed the door this time.

"So what should I understand?"

When he fully recovered and got up, he still didn't understand what he should understand, so he patted the straw on his body and stopped thinking about these things for the time being.

After confirming that his luggage was still there, he reached into his pocket and took out another round coin. This time, because it corresponded to [Stranger], the round coin was blue. He understood that the front side was the emblem of [Stranger], and the back side was a simple square with a tree in the middle of the square.

"Four in one?"

He muttered and took the round coin back into his spirit. He summoned his ability light and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh. Now most of the abilities have become temporarily unusable. The completely passive [Stranger] also revealed its active nature because it was too fully stimulated in the last strange realm, so it can't be used.

It's not that the passive effect on alien races is completely ineffective, but it is definitely not as powerful as before.

"But it doesn't matter. After all, I have found the formula for victory."

He tried to use the metaphor that Alexia would use, and he couldn't help laughing. Thinking of the ladies at home, his mood suddenly improved, and thinking of his well-behaved cat, his mood was even better.

"There are three floors left."

Picking up the backpack and sword, he had time to look around.

Perhaps because the scale of the last strange realm was too large, this time the strange realm has returned to a small scale again. To be precise, the small scale can be seen at a glance.

Now the location is outdoors, and there is a dark brown scorched earth under his feet. Jenkins can only use this metaphor to describe it. There was no vitality, no fertility, and the gravel was mixed with the dark brown soil that seemed to have been calcined. Jenkins would believe it if he said it was an ancient battlefield in the desert.

He stood on the edge of the darkness, looking forward to the blazing flames, the red flames and the heat waves, almost rushing towards him.

Jenkins was very familiar with this dark world and the strange environment of fire. It seemed that the previous strange environments were special, and this strange environment was the place Jenkins was most familiar with.

But the fire was a little too bright. He thought the brightness of the center of the fire was about the same as the sun. He walked a dozen steps in the direction of the fire with his backpack, and then he saw that the fire was a huge steel furnace.

The furnace itself was a dull brass color, almost integrated with the dark strange environment, and the vigorous flames in the furnace, as if the sun was imprisoned, were the fire on the pavement that Jenkins saw from a distance.

"This..."

This is very spectacular, extremely spectacular. The steel furnace stood on the scorched earth. The blazing fire and the intermittent explosions made the deserted world not so deserted.

The alloy used in the steel furnace was the brass alloy unique to the differential machine. So from the towering furnace in front of us, we can see how deeply the differential machine has invaded this strange world. In the last strange world, the differential machine only intervened in a small part, and this time the differential machine may have infiltrated a lot of power.

"But which beast of disaster will it be this time?"

He looked at the fierce flames in the furnace:

"There are really many things related to fire, but the ground fire worm can be ruled out."

Jenkins did not believe that the differential machine, which is quite creative and creative, would use a power twice.

Only when you get close to the huge brass steel furnace can you see a person leaning under the furnace. It stands to reason that the flames revealed from the gate of the furnace are so strong that the temperature outside the furnace should be enough to melt most of the metal, but the man just leaned against it, seemingly without feeling.

Jenkins felt the heat in the air getting stronger and stronger, and he moved closer step by step. As expected, he saw that it was not a flesh and blood person, but half stone and half metal.

The heat wave hit his face, and Jenkins once again couldn't help but wonder whether the sun was trapped in the steel furnace. He did not get closer, but listened to the terrible sound in the furnace and looked at the man leaning on the furnace gate, arms folded and wearing a black hunting suit.

The man stood up straight and pointed behind him without speaking first. The raging fire was extinguished immediately, and the light that could shine through the gate was reduced as the fire was extinguished.

As the sound of the hearth itself fell to near silence, the surrounding light continued to diminish. When Jenkins' ears could barely hear the sound inside the furnace, the firelight that could be revealed from the metal furnace was already weak and could only illuminate a small area in front of the furnace. It was the dazzling red light that Jenkins came here just now. Mang is the complete opposite.

"What do I need to do if I want to get out of here?"

He didn't talk nonsense, stepped on the shadow into the dark red area in front of the furnace gate, and asked directly.

"What you just saw was the heyday of this furnace, and now the flame in the furnace is about to go out. You are responsible for lighting it until it returns to the way you first saw it."

The man who was half stone and half metal replied, his voice rising and falling normally, without the stiffness when speaking in a differential machine.

"Light it with what?"

The surrounding area is unobstructed. Apart from the huge furnace, there is only the earth and stone underfoot. In other words, it seemed that only Jenkins, Jenkins' luggage, and the host of the strange situation in front of him were left to burn.

"Could it be that the rule of this treacherous realm is just to defeat this guy and stuff it into the furnace? No, how could it be so simple?"

Jenkins thought in his mind, and then looked at the man in black hunting clothes pointing behind Jenkins. The firelight flowed from the man's fingertips and made a sizzling sound along the ground. It also illuminated this dark and oppressive space.

The fire continued to extend like a long line, illuminating the surroundings again and forming hundreds of staggered fiery red square door frames behind Jenkins.

The doorframe was empty and could be seen behind, but Jenkins knew this was the door.

"Inside every door, there is a strong man. Not a fictional strong man, but a real strong man in history. Choose the door, go in, defeat the strong man behind the door, drag it out and burn it until the furnace This is what you need to do to return the fire within to what you just saw.

Oh, the flames are still extinguishing, and once there is really no trace of fire, you will never be able to get out of here, so please act as soon as possible. "

"How many opponents do I need to defeat?"

Jenkins said, the rules are very simple, this should be regarded as a pure martial arts puzzle.

"Strong men with different powers can ignite flames with different intensity, so I can't give you the answer. You can think of this world as a gladiatorial arena. All you have to do is walk into the door, defeat the enemy, drag it out and burn it See if it’s enough. If not, choose another door until the task is completed.”

The man in hunting attire explained.
