The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

While speaking, the surrounding space began to vibrate, and then the white space in the distance began to shatter and collapse, and a black mist poured in, encroaching on the white space, and it seemed that the entire consciousness space was dying.

"Damn! It shouldn't be like this, how did it find this place so quickly!" The red-haired woman who was still very calm just now became anxious, and after cursing, she said to Leo: "Now the power of the night god It seems that it does not want my consciousness born of it to dissipate, if we want to integrate, we must do so as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very difficult to integrate in the future." As she spoke, she turned to Leo Stretching out his hand, he said, "Come and hold my hand, thinking of merging with me, hurry up!"

The red-haired woman urged Leo anxiously, and almost put her hand in front of Leo's eyes. It could be seen that she was very anxious at the moment.

However, Leo looked very calm, as if the surrounding space of consciousness that was collapsing did not exist. He looked down at the hand in front of him, then at the red-haired woman, and said, "You performed very well, I almost I was tricked by you."

The moment Leo spoke, the collapse of the surrounding space immediately stopped, and everything around seemed to have fallen into absolute stillness.

The red-haired woman's anxious expression quickly disappeared, and she also retracted the hand that was extended to Leo. She looked at Leo and asked, "When did you find out?"

"I felt something was wrong at the beginning, because your appearance was actually wrong." Leo looked at the red-haired woman calmly, and said, "If you are really a second brain, then you should have appeared before, not Appearing in front of me passively like now, it is even more impossible for me not to notice it at all."

"Just because of this? When did it appear?" the red-haired woman said in surprise.

"Of course not. What really made me suspicious was your actions just now." Leo said, and sat down, a chair appeared behind him out of thin air following his mind control, just caught him, and His words did not stop, but continued: "You are too anxious to merge with me, and you are too active. This is completely opposite to what you said before that you want an independent consciousness. If you want an independent consciousness, it should be Avoid merging with me as much as possible, leave here if you have a chance, or destroy me, but now you seem to want to fused with me more, and two points in what you said just now have been subconsciously strengthened, One point is to hold my hand, and the second point is to think about merging with me in your heart. I think the two points should be the key! Or the key to you merging me and replacing my consciousness, right?"

"It seems that I have no hope." The red-haired woman gave a wry smile with some regret, and then conjured up an adaptive chair that is common in the universe and sat down. At this time, the stagnant space changes around continued, and the surroundings were still collapsing. , the black mist is still engulfing the space, but it is much slower than before. It will take at least an hour or two to completely let this pure white look, oh, overcome difficulties, disappear.

"What the hell are you?" Leo asked suspiciously.

"As I said, I am you, but I am not all of you, but also them." The red-haired woman looked at Leo with a smile, and saw that the whole person began to change rapidly in front of Leo, becoming one by one. Among the strangers, many of them were the ghosts that Leo saw in the garden just now. In the end, its face stayed on the appearance of a handsome man.

"Vigofortz!" Leo immediately recognized this man when he saw him, because in Fringilla's collection, some of Vigofortz's works had his portrait on the back cover.

"Do you know him?" The other party's appearance has not changed since Wigfortz, and after hearing Leo's name, he is also very happy to say: "It seems that our tastes are the same! This guy He is a very attractive guy, with ambition, brains, and ability. He is the object I hope to parasitize the most. Unfortunately, this guy is not very compatible with me. In the end, I got confused, thinking that Bai Shuang It's coming soon, I want to get the blood of the elders, use the power of the blood of the elders, pass through the thick fog, and escape from this world."

"Are you a collective consciousness of these people?" Leo said in a deep voice.

The other party replied seriously: "It should be a collection of fragments of consciousness, including you."

Leo said again: "Now that I have seen through you, what are you going to do?"

"What if you don't plan to do it!" The other party shrugged and said.

Leo didn't believe the other party, he was always on guard, and he didn't have the idea of ​​talking to him, and the other party didn't explain, and he didn't do anything else, the two just sat facing each other like this.

The surrounding space disappeared little by little, and the black mist encroached on the surrounding consciousness space little by little. As the area of ​​encroachment increased, the speed of encroachment also accelerated. In less than an hour, they were already very close to them. , In another ten minutes or so, the consciousness space they are in will completely disappear.

At this moment, Leo suddenly stood up, and before the other party could react, he rushed in front of the other party, put his hand on the other party's head, and said, "I voluntarily merge."

According to the analysis of the previous conversation, Leo's actions at this moment must be what the other party wants to see most. He should be extremely happy, but in fact his face is full of panic, and he wants to open his mouth to say something, but what? He couldn't speak anymore, because his head had quickly merged into Leo's palm, and after a few seconds, his whole body was completely absorbed by Leo.

The consciousness space stagnated and collapsed, and the black mist that encroached on the space gradually turned into white, and the consciousness space that had just been swallowed was spit out, gradually completing the consciousness space.

At this moment, Leo didn't pay attention to the changes in the consciousness space at all, and all his energy was concentrated on the large number of fragments of consciousness pouring into his mind. These fragments were mixed with countless incomplete memories, hitting Leo's constructed idea like a flood. Consciousness defense line, and each impact will be part of the fragments of consciousness extracted by Leo, absorbed and digested, so the strength of each impact on this flood of consciousness will be reduced a lot, and it will not be long before Leo can no longer deal with it. The main consciousness posed a threat, and Leo also controlled the main consciousness to attack and actively absorb these fragments of consciousness. As for the memory fragments among them, he screened them and included them in the database.

I don't know how long it took, but when the last fragment of consciousness was absorbed by Leo, Leo's consciousness returned to reality, and the scene in front of him also changed from the white space of consciousness to Josh Manor.

Perhaps because of the disappearance of the power in the manor, the entire Josh manor seemed to have passed for thousands of years. The houses became dilapidated, and a large number of trees died. A standard look of a dilapidated manor.

At this moment, Leo's position is not on the manor square, but in front of the gate of the main house, and the gate in front of him has been completely destroyed, judging from various traces, because it is related to the thunder gun he threw at that time.

After confirming that the manor's magic circle had been completely destroyed, and the power here had also disappeared as the broken pages of Ye Shen's sigh were absorbed by him, he sat on the ground very casually, checking his physical condition in various ways, especially It is the mark of the night god on the back.

What happened just now was a bit dangerous for Leo, and he was almost fooled by the other party. If he really made him wait until the surrounding consciousness space was completely eaten away by the black mist, then his consciousness might really fall. Being swallowed by the other party, the other party can also occupy his body, just like when he was reincarnated in Daoreo Dodd.

However, he finally passed the difficulty without any risk. The only thing worthy of his attention is how much benefit he can get from it, and how much harm it will bring after absorbing a broken page of Night God's Sigh.

Soon, he used various methods to check his body, but the results made him a little confused, thinking that the page he absorbed the night god's sigh was a hallucination, because he found that besides his nightmare power had more than doubled, There are only some more memory fragments in the memory bank, as for other parts of the body, there is no change, let alone in the consciousness space, as the consciousness aggregate said, the body has evolved to a level close to the level of a seventh-level psyker.

This kind of income is obviously problematic. Leo feels that just as the spirit network cannot detect the energy fluctuations of the remaining pages of Night God's Sigh, it is also unable to detect the benefits and disadvantages brought to him by the remaining pages of Night God's Sigh. Waiting for him to slowly discover by himself.

Leo knew that the matter of excavation ability would not be resolved in a short while, so he stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, turned around and walked to the square where the stone pillar was placed, and just a few steps away from him Suddenly, the manor villa behind him collapsed like building blocks pulled from the top beams, leaving only a pile of ruins.

Leo used his psychic power to clean up the flying dust, and then walked to the stone pillar engraved with monster reliefs in the square.

This monster relief stone pillar is similar to the monster relief stone pillar he saw in the underground ruins, the only difference is that the monster on the stone pillar is slightly different.

In addition, at this time, Leo could also see the specialness of this stone pillar without any energy fluctuations, because with the disappearance of the power of the broken pages of Ye Shen's sigh, everything in the manor, whether it was the floor of the house or the trees and flowers, became Broken and withered, even the base under the stone pillar is full of cracks, but this stone pillar is still intact, and has not been affected by any surrounding forces at all.

Because this is not a good place to concentrate on research, Leo checked the stone pillar a little bit, and after finding no damage, he tried to use his own strength to see if he could pull up the stone pillar and carry it away.

I don't know if the material of the stone pillar itself is very light, or because the strength of his body has become stronger, the monster-relief stone pillar was pulled out under the force of Leo's arm, and then he held it on his shoulder and went out of the manor. go.

After kicking open the gate of the manor that had also become broken, Leo walked out of the manor, led the horse, and carried the stone pillars to a nearby logging hut.

The lumberjack was not there at the moment. He looked around and found a wooden cart. He put the stone pillar on the wooden cart and tied it up. Then he took out some money and pressed stones on the wooden cart. Then he put the wooden cart on the horse and walked in the direction of Bauclairn City.

When Leo returned to Bauclan City, it was already night. Instead of going to Fringilla's manor, he took a detour and returned to the residence of the Knights of Light.

At this time, Sylvia was waiting for Leo to come back in the study, because she knew from Fringilla that Leo had gone to the Josh Manor, and her mood was different from the previous time when Leo went to the Josh Manor. She felt a little nervous, because she already knew that the Josh Manor might be related to the leftover page of Night God's Sigh in the hands of Vigfortz.

Sylvia has served as an adjudicator for many years in the Orthodox Church, and she knows how dangerous those things defined as taboo by the Orthodox Church are. Anything out of control can easily destroy a town and kill tens of thousands of people. The knowledge of the three ancient gods is the most taboo item among them. Even if the sigh of the night god is just a broken page, its danger level will not be weakened by this.

In the past, the destruction caused by the broken pages of the thirteen ancient god knowledge about the madman can be said to be shocking. The cover of a book of ancient god knowledge once destroyed a small town overnight. More than 20,000 people living in the town were all Died in a deep sleep.

In the records of the Orthodox Church, the cover is not the core of the power of the knowledge of the ancient gods, but the pages that record the taboo knowledge are the source of power, so the destructive power of the pages is much greater than the cover.

It is also because of the various materials and knowledge obtained from the Orthodox Church for many years that even though Sylvia has absolute confidence in Leo's strength, it is still difficult to conceal the uneasiness in her heart.

However, when she heard the knight calling Leo in a very respectful tone from outside the house, all the uneasiness and worry on her face dissipated, and she smiled, walked out of the study, and stood outside the door with the wood facing down Looking over from the square, he happened to see Leo take a stone pillar that needed to be embraced by one person from the wooden cart and put it on the ground of the square.

Leo saw Sylvia standing at the door of the study, motioned to her, then went up to the second floor, and returned to the study with Sylvia.

"Have you solved the matter of Josh Manor?" Although it felt that Leo should have solved the problem, Sylvia couldn't help asking.

"It's been resolved." Leo nodded, and then explained his experience in detail, but he was a little vague when he said that the consciousness aggregate turned into Lilith, and didn't specifically mention Lilith. , and after he finished speaking, he took off his clothes and let Sylvia see if there was any change in the black tattoo on his back.
