46. Chapter 46: The Examiner’s Party

Chapter 46 The Examiner’s Party

Heine was also a little confused.

But he was so pale now that he couldn’t see any fluctuation in his expression.

Probably grabbed the other clump offhand, he thought, after all, he had grabbed two in one breath at the time.

As a result, he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party say:

“…… I, my name is Cheng Hui, I’m also a player of AGE, my id is… Ventriloquist Glasses, my friends call me Hui Hui.”

She was a bit timid at first, but her bite became clear and composed as she spoke.

It was as if she had quickly calmed down in just a few words.

It was really her!

Heine couldn’t help but be shocked.

I didn’t realize that Ventriloquist Glasses was a female player ……

So which one was she, the skeleton or the soul fire in front of her?
“Since I can’t move, what should I do now?” She asked again.

SA: “Which one are you? Floating, standing, or lying down?”

Huihui: “I’m probably this clump of …… stuff, which is supposed to be evil spirits.”

Mr. Xia: “Amazing, are you a necromancer too, how do you still know this?”

“I know a little bit about the whole profession …… to be precise, I know the profession background and detailed settings.”

After a pause, she continued, “In principle, the undead soul summoned by a necromancer will first scan through the carrier to see if it’s suitable, it’s a kind of survival instinct, and if it’s not suitable it’ll refuse to be possessed and turn into a malignant spirit form like me. By the way, a banshee is the advanced form of an evil spirit.”

“What about the witch demon?” Sheep Catch was curious, “Is a Witch Demon an advanced Banshee?”

“Witch-demons are essentially shadowy souls plus a suitable carrier, but the original idea came from the very natural phenomenon of evil spirits, this is written in the notes of the great witch-demon Vega.”

Mr. Summer: “So why all female demons and no male ones?”

Megumi: “Because the original souls of the afflicted were all female, and that’s what they were called later. As with barons, there can be male and female demons and female barons.”

Mr. Xia: “Awesome! Not bad for a ventriloquist’s glasses!”

Mr. Sa: “…… No, how come it’s still a fan meeting? There’s still a dude who hasn’t opened his mouth, right? Crooked? Dude are you there?”

His inquiry was stone cold.

There was a somewhat awkward silence among the four.

By this time Heine was almost rested.

He stood up, greeted the three skeletons to carry George up, and gave instructions to Soulfire and the skeletons:

“Follow me.”

Megumi: “What should I do?”

Catch the Goat: “Do what he says, and remember, from now on you can only pretend to understand his ‘instructions’, and don’t respond to any other self-talk or tentative words.”

“Just pretending to be an undead servant without self-will?”

Mr. Xia: “Awesome, you have the comprehension skills of four Sa Generals!”

Mr. Sa: “You can roll with it! That’s what I call great wisdom!”

……

Heine walks out of the cellar with four skeletons and a pile of soulfire.

On the surface it was quiet, but in reality Huihui was excited.

“It’s actually real …… That’s a double moon, right? This is much more exquisite than the modeling in the game, and there are big leafed beech trees, and it’s fall?”

“There are also …… wait, this layout, and this building …… This is the McCalla mountains!
“This isn’t Scorched Canyon, it’s the McCalla Mountains? So it’s pre-opening?”

Seeing that she had also discovered this, the three of them began an explanation about the timeline and the current situation.

But for the most part, it was Sheep Catch talking, with the other two brothers serving as the comic relief.

As veteran plot party members, these things were easy to understand, so the explanation was clear in a few words.

The other new skeleton was still silent.

The carriage started slowly, and Megumi landed on Heine’s shoulder.

She appeared to be motionless, but she was greedily gazing out at everything illuminated by the twin moons.

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice interjected.

“Guardian Iris, Warlock.”

All three were startled, “Who?”

Megumi: “I think it’s the one that …… came with me, right?”

“Yes.” The other party’s answer was short and concise.

Sa General: “Holy shit, buddy you’re alive, I thought you were the real undead it …… Why didn’t you squeak before, is it unable to accept the matter of crossing over? Harm, it’s okay, everyone’s like that, but there’s a lot of us.”

In fact, this is also the journey of Sa General’s heart on the night he just crossed over.

In the company of the two “seniors”, he accepted the reality of “not dressed as a person”, and at the same time avoided falling into the infinite internal conflict of suspicion and anxiety.

In fact, Heine envied this group of people.

Not only did they travel to a familiar world in a group, but they also had fellow travelers as soon as they landed.

It was much better than when he was alone and facing a mess.

It wasn’t personal, I guess, but they had a master like himself after all, who knew their roots and looked out for them in every way.

That was what was most enviable.

…

However, in the face of General Sa’s greeting, Wei Temple Iris didn’t answer clearly and just said thank you.

He still seemed to be wary, or maybe it was just his personality, in any case, he acted aloof.

The three of them didn’t care either.

As far as they could tell those who could be summoned were all high level players, who didn’t have a temper.

On the contrary, it was rather rare to see a guy like Chief Sa who quickly blended in.

Hui Hui suddenly asked, “You guys just said that the point in time of traveling backward is it?”

“Yes.”

Catch the Goat replied, and then described the time of the first two rounds of summoning.

He and Mr. Xia were from the fourth day of the expedition, and Chief Sa was from the very beginning of the expedition.

Hui Hui pondered slightly before speaking, “I’m a level 45 researcher, which is an extremely cold profession, similar to a scholar but with access to special energies, so I’m usually either traveling or sitting in a library.

“When the crossing occurred I was preparing information for the expedition in seven days, in the corner of the Library of Truth, a Pretender from the Underworld assassinated me …… and then crossed over, at a time that matches your speculations. “Since you guys are from a much later point in time, is there a follow-up to this?”

Mr. Summer: “Yes, the Underworld Guard invasion.”

“What Underworld Guard invasion?”

Teacher Xia: “The two professors of the Veritas Academy, Hee-whatever and Ho-whatever have long since been turned by the Great Witch Demon Vega. They teamed up to plan this beheading incident, only to be recognized by us Shadow Footsteps people …… didn’t expect you to lie down.”

Catch the Goat: “What the hell, those two are Hilda and Collins! No last name is He! And that was Old High who recognized them!”

Mr. Summer: “Obviously Shadowfoot figured it out, and we were high-minded enough to send the information to Scarlet Dawn!”

Catch the Goat: “? You’ve been blacklisted by the Academy of Truth and won’t let you in, so you’re blaming us?”

Mr. Sa: “Don’t even say it, it’s Big Bird from the House of Eagles who sent you there, why don’t you thank Big Bird!”

Teacher Xia ignored Mr. Sa and continued, “The Underworld Guard responsible for the assassination is an elite wanderer, the dark attack comes with divine damage, you are also considered to have died indirectly from the ‘Divine Battle’, which is quite reasonable. As for this dude ……”

“Same.” Guardian Iris opened her mouth.

The words were simple and concise.

“Well …… that’s more evidence.” Catch the Goat summarized.

“So ……” Wheezy pondered, “So after that, have you guys seen me post on the forums?”

The crowd was silent.

Ventriloquist Glasses had indeed been silent for more than ten days ……

Hui Hui asked again, “What about the others? I mean did any of the other people who died of divine power during this time ever make it to the line?”

Teacher Xia recalled, “Yes, there were, quite a few were sprayed to death by Eris when they crossed the Blasphemy River, and there were battle losses before the Sound of Mourning, sporadically adding up to less than two hundred people, there were several of them in our professional group, and we didn’t see them crying their eyes out too often.”

Sa General: “I also remembered when you said that, there was a round of heartless assassinations between the Underworld Guard Invasion and the Official Expedition, and there were seventy to eighty people who died, all of them died from divine power attacks as well, but quite a few of them went on the forums and posted ……”

Things are getting interesting.

Heine thought to herself.

It wasn’t hard to tell from the numbers that the 281 bubbles he’d seen came from after the point in time that Huihui had traveled through.

That is, the player whose character died of divine power, but who was still active in person, as they put it.

However, it was clear that they had all “expired”.

He saw them, but didn’t pick them.

So they are still active.

He saw them and picked Megumi.

So Ventriloquist Glasses hasn’t been on the thread since then.

Or, the above causality could be reversed.

Because both sides don’t interfere with each other until he makes a choice, or they start a discussion.

They didn’t recall that the ventriloquist glasses hadn’t been on the thread.

They didn’t realize that they had “expired”.

The choices made by the two parties were so coincidental, so subtle, that they seemed to be the result of a predetermined path.

Even the arrival of the truth is so interesting.

He was tempted to go back and grab another bubble, preferably one that was confirmed “expired”.

But there were no silver spots for him to use, and he didn’t have enough mental energy.

And most importantly, he couldn’t expose himself by doing so.

Miraculous ……

It’s just too magical.

Heine couldn’t help but tickle the corners of his mouth.

There was finally a bit of the mystery of a traveler in him ……

He actually felt a faint sense of relief.

…

On the other side of the coin again nothing worthwhile could be deduced from these clues alone.

So Megumi quickly turned the conversation to the core issue.

“I remember you guys just said that the flow of information is now one-way, so the initiative is entirely in our hands?”

It was obvious that she was very insecure.

That was actually more normal, the three brothers were just too thick-skinned compared to that.

Of course, this could also have something to do with Heine’s attribute of being an “undead phantom”.

Catch the Goat: “Not exactly one-way, there’s a special spell in the cellar of the haunted manor that allows communication.”

“Haunted Manor?”

Hui Hui was stunned, then suddenly excited, “So you’ve all been to the mysterious spell formation in the eastern suburb’s lumberyard, the lord’s mansion, the pitch black grotto, and the cellar of the empty house? You know the purpose?”

The three were each confused.

What the hell?

Mr. Sa: “Where is the empty cellar?”

Mr. Xia: “There’s a spell in the dark cave?”

Catch the Goat: “How come the Lord’s Mansion has one too?”

Holy shit, did we play the game for nothing?

…

Hearing this Heine was also shocked.

The Lord’s Mansion did have a spell formation, meaning that there were five such genjutsu spell formations?

Although he didn’t know what the Pitch Black Grotto was, it didn’t affect him from sketching it out in his head.

The lord’s mansion was in the center, the eastern suburb lumberyard was in the lower right corner, and the manor was in the upper left corner.

And his house was in the upper right corner – could this be the empty house cellar?

If this is the distribution, then the so-called pitch black grotto should be in the lower left corner ……

An “X” has just been drawn with the lord’s house in the center.

Damn, there’s an unexpected gain!
This examination party is different!
