The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo's fist glowing with blue light collided with the fallen ghost soldier's broadsword, and no earth-shattering scene erupted at the impact.

Leo just took a few steps back because of the power transmitted by the broadsword, and a rune magic circle composed of psionic energy emerged from his fist.

At this time, a sparkling crystal was produced on the blade hit by the fist, and then spread out instantly, spreading to the entire ghost giant, turning the ghost giant into a crystal giant, and then it was like smashed glass in an instant The same scattered and turned into countless crystal light spots, which were pulled by the rune magic circle in Leo's hand and gathered in the middle of the rune magic circle, forming a soul crystal.

"It really works!" Seeing the soul crystal in his hand, Leo smiled.

In fact, after coming to the manor for the first time and confirming that there were a lot of ghosts around, Leo was thinking about how to deal with these ghosts, and the best method he had mastered was the soul trap.

However, the soul trap can only take effect by passively waiting for the ghost to approach. This obviously does not meet Leo's needs. What Leo wants is a soul trap that can be used at any time during the battle.

While learning all kinds of warlock knowledge from Alto in those few days, he also took time to think about this question, and soon found the answer he wanted in the crystallized old man's magic.

The crystal magic of the crystal old man itself contained the effect of attacking the soul, but this effect is not completely aimed at the soul, it is just an attached effect of the crystal magic, so the damage to the soul is not particularly high.

However, among the spells of the crystal old man, there is a spell called imprinting. This engraving can imprint other magic on the crystal magic book. When using the crystal magic book to cast crystal magic, it will produce magic effects other than crystal magic. .

However, each engraving technique can only imprint one type of magic, and erasing the previous engraving will cause extremely difficult damage to the crystal magic book.

Leo originally planned to use this engraving technique to engrave the thunder gun on the crystal magic book. In the original crystal magic, magic such as the crystal soul spear belonged to the same kind of strategic-level psionic power or skill as the thunder gun. Being able to combine the two, the power may be doubled.

However, as the crystal magic book became a crystal serpent, and the thunder gun was a psionic skill, he didn't know whether the engraving technique could be applied to it, so he temporarily put this idea on hold.

The current situation made Leo think of this imprinting technique again, so Leo decided to imprint the soul trap on the crystal serpent first, to see how the effect was, and then consider whether to engrave the thunder gun on it later.

Now, all the crystal magic that Leo can use can produce the effect of soul trap, and the effect of the combination of crystal magic and soul trap is far beyond his expectation, so easily combined a large number of ghosts The ghost giants were broken into soul crystal stones.

However, the disappearance of this ghost giant does not mean the end, but the beginning. The ghosts who had participated in the banquet in the manor all appeared around at this moment, and their bodies were twisted and intertwined, forming indescribable monsters one by one. , rushed towards Leo.

And Leo, who had been prepared for a long time, let go of his hands and feet completely. As he cast the crystal magic through the crystal snake, more than a dozen cone-shaped crystal soul guns appeared around his body instantly, and after he let go of the restraint, they It rushed towards the surrounding ghost monsters like a guided weapon, and instantly hit the ghost monsters, breaking them up and turning them into crystallized soul stones.

After Leo used the crystallized soul gun three times repeatedly, all the ghosts around him disappeared, leaving only a shining crystallized soul stone.

Leo collected all those crystallized soul stones into his hands with spiritual power, leaving only one, and took all the other crystallized soul stones back into the storage space.

Then, while casting crystal magic, he crushed the crystallized soul stone in his hand, and saw that the soul stone turned into countless light spots, flew around Leo twice, landed on his body, and then seemed to melt Generally, it spreads along the surface of his clothes and becomes integrated, forming a crystalline protective layer.

After doing this, Leo walked towards the stone platform in front of him.

Although the distance to the stone platform seems very close, but because of the special space here, he walked for a long time, and estimated that it took about seven to eight hours to reach the stone platform.

Obviously, this is also a kind of test, a kind of test aimed at the spirit. If the average person has walked for such a long time and finds that the distance between him and Shitai has not changed, he may comfort himself psychologically in the first hour or two. Then in the following time, he will constantly self-doubt whether the stone platform in front of him is an illusion, constantly guessing that he cannot go to the end, and other psychological tests. As long as he hesitates a little, then he will quickly give up and look for other people. clue.

However, this kind of test is completely useless to Leo, this journey is like a walk in the garden for him, and he just takes advantage of this time to sort out the warlock knowledge he has learned recently With the crystal magic system in the crystal magic book, the time of about eight is not wasted at all.

Standing in front of the stone platform, Leo saw the broken page of Night God's Sigh in front of him, and through the resonant reaction of the power of nightmare, he knew very well that this broken page was the real Night God's Sigh's broken page, but he was also confused, Because this is really too simple, so simple that it makes him feel a little fake, and even many of the coping plans and methods he prepared for this matter have not yet been used.

Therefore, Leo did not rush forward to take down the remaining pages of Ye Shen's Sigh floating on the stone platform, but walked to the side of the stone platform and carefully checked the surrounding situation.

After repeated searches three times, the cautious Leo had already determined that there was nothing wrong with the stone platform, and his intuition did not sense any danger.

After confirming that there was no danger, Leo walked up to the stone platform, reached out and grabbed the broken page of Ye Shen's sigh in his hand.

When grabbing the broken page of Night God's Sigh, he was still very careful to place a force of nightmare on his palm, so as to avoid the simultaneous contact between the skin of the palm and the broken page.

The moment the nightmare power on his palm touched the broken page of Night God's sigh, the broken page instantly turned into a black mist and penetrated into Leo's hands, and then flowed directly into his body along with the power of nightmare. back.

Leo only felt a tearing pain originating from the soul spread all over his body in an instant. This kind of pain was something he had never felt before, even the biggest pain he felt before was still comparable to it. huge difference.

Even though Leo was prepared for such severe pain, he was still caught off guard and passed out on the spot. This was the first time in his life that Leo fell into a coma due to pain.

Almost at the same time when he was in a coma, Leo's consciousness entered a pure white world that was completely opposite to just now.

"Hello!"

When Leo was still adapting to this pure white world, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Leo immediately instinctively made some defensive moves, but he found that all the power in him had disappeared, including the newly acquired blood power.

"Don't be so nervous, I have no malicious intentions." The voice behind said in a very calm tone, "Although I come from Night God, we should be regarded as one, and we will not and cannot kill each other."

Leo knew that he couldn't use those methods at all now, so he simply put down his guard and turned his head to look at the source of the voice behind him.

I saw that standing behind Leo was a red-haired woman wearing the daily uniform of a senior officer of the Earth Federation. After seeing this woman and this outfit, Leo was stunned, and then his face became extremely ugly.

After seeing the change in Leo's face, the red-haired woman looked at her clothes in confusion, then turned into a mirror to look at herself, looked at Leo in confusion, and said, "Why are you angry? This woman is the woman who has left a complete image in the deepest part of your memory, and you seem to have deep feelings and sadness for her. According to common sense, you should be very happy and excited to see her. Why are you so upset? What about anger?"

"Can you see my memory?" Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

The red-haired woman smiled and said, "Didn't I say that? We are one, and your memory is mine." Then she looked at the red-haired woman in the mirror again, and said, "Lilith? ? A very special name."

Leo didn't speak, just stared at each other, silent.

In fact, Leo's heart was completely in a mess at this moment, and his heart had never been so chaotic, which made him not know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only respond silently, and tried to adjust his breathing to calm himself down , completely forgetting that he is now in a consciousness space, not the real world.

The reason why Leo suddenly behaved abnormally was entirely because of the red-haired woman who had changed from an unknown existence in front of him.

Although Leo gradually gained the feelings of ordinary people after entering this world and becoming Leo Dodd, this does not mean that Leo, who was still a biochemical man at the time, had no feelings at all.

In fact, when Leo was still a cyborg, he had some feelings that can be called affection for a red-haired woman, and that red-haired woman was a supervisor assigned to him by the federal government, mainly responsible for supervising their work. The execution of the order of the biochemical human combat team.

Although this woman is a supervisor appointed by the government, she has a good relationship with Leo's combat team, and she doesn't regard the biochemical man as a tool to be thrown away like most other human beings, and she has to use it again and again. During the hardships on the battlefield, Leo, who was still a cyborg at the time, had a feeling for her that he couldn't describe at the time, but now he is very clear, and the other party obviously didn't have no feelings for him. Things were rarely heard of before.

It's a pity that the difference between cyborgs and humans cannot be erased by a little affection. In the end, the red-haired woman was transferred and left the combat team, and disappeared from Leo's life forever. way of life.

Now, such a woman who left traces in his heart reappeared in front of him again, and Leo also possessed ordinary emotions at this moment, and all kinds of emotions surged up for a while, so that he who had no such experience did not know how to deal with it .

"What the hell are you?" Leo took a deep breath of the non-existent air, then deliberately changed the subject, and said.

"I am you." The red-haired woman smiled and said.

Leo was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "You are the second brain!"

"I said, I am you." The red-haired woman repeated the previous sentence again. Although she did not give a clear answer, this attitude now is equivalent to acquiescing to Leo's guess.

Leo was puzzled and said to the red-haired woman, "Didn't you disappear? Why did you become like this?"

"Have you heard the rumor that the second brain will disappear naturally?" the red-haired woman asked back.

At this time, Leo also thought that in the Earth Federation, there were indeed no rumors of the second brain disappearing automatically. In most cases, surgery and other methods were used to remove the brain area where the second brain was located, and then repair the brain with repair fluid. , solve the second vice brain physically.

"Where is this place?" Leo asked again.

"This is our consciousness space." The red-haired woman replied.

Leo tried to continue asking: "Did you drag me here? What is the purpose of dragging me here?"

"No! I didn't bring you here, it was you who brought me here." The red-haired woman shook her head and said, "Because after the broken pages of Night God's Sigh are injected into your body, your life form will improve again. , we are already very close to the seventh-level psyker. Once we become a seventh-level psyker, we will be equivalent to a higher life form. At that time, two consciousnesses will be too much, and one needs to be eliminated. Your instinct Knowing about this crisis, I created this space of consciousness and pulled my second consciousness, which was accidentally generated, into it.”

"You mean that only one of us can survive." Leo frowned and said in a deep voice.

The red-haired woman shook her head and said, "Wrong, only you can survive, and I will definitely integrate into you."

Leo thought quickly, and then said: "That's why you turned into Lilith. I want to make me unable to bear to do it after seeing you."

The red-haired woman didn't panic at all, but shrugged her shoulders naturally, and said: "Although I don't dislike re-merging with you, I also want to have an independent consciousness. Since I have the opportunity to fight, I naturally Can't give up."

Leo was silent for a while, and said, "How did you become conscious?"

"I want to know too." The red-haired woman curled her lips and said, "But I just know that it has something to do with the mark of the night god. That thing should be weirder than you expected. If possible, it's better to stay away from it, but I guess you won't listen."
