Chapter 663 The visitor
“Huh……”
Duanmu Huai also opened his eyes at this time, and then looked at Mary lying on the ground, and was stunned for a moment.
"This is?"
"Ah...Miss Mary seems a little uncomfortable..."
At this moment, An and Gureya also hurried forward and helped Mary up.
"Has the magic failed? But I think it was successful?"
Duanmu Huai can now clearly see that there is a pink thread between himself and Mary.
Well, of course, the position is a bit indescribable - but considering that this is the spell of the Book of Pink, it seems understandable?
"Uh...but Miss Mary is not very adaptable to magic yet, she will just have a rest."
An also hurriedly spoke at this moment.
"Okay, I''ll go out and have a look first, you guys are here to take care of Mary."
Duanmu Huai didn''t think too much, but just nodded and left the room. Seeing Duanmu Huai leave, An and Gureya breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Mary who was still in a trance at this moment. The girl''s eyes were blurred, she was slightly gasping for breath, her whole body was soft and weak, and her face was confused.
“……I’m very interested in the magic that Mr. Knight just used.”
Ann stared at Mary, then whispered. When Gureya heard Ann''s words, she was shocked and turned to look at her.
"install?"
“Isn’t it very interesting?”
"Uh...who are you going to use it for?"
"whee………"
Hearing Gureya''s inquiry, An giggled at her, and seeing An''s smile, Gureya trembled all over and subconsciously took a step back.
Well, everything is indifferent.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai was experiencing the power of golden eyes in the town.
"This is really amazing... tsk tsk tsk tsk, why isn''t anyone in the game visible?"
Looking at the world in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn''t help but sigh.
Of course, if you just look at it simply, there seems to be no difference. But when Duanmu Huai focused his will on his right eye, he could see different lights. Mary couldn''t understand what this was, but Duanmu Huai understood at a glance.
This is the direction mark.
In Duanmu Huai''s eyes, everyone had a direction mark, pointing straight to the distance, which means that just one glance would tell where these people came from and where they were going. For example, the guard planned to go to the next tavern to drink, while the man on the other side was going to fish by the river. Even a black cat chasing a mouse, Duanmuhuai could see how it crawled out of the broken glass window and then chased its prey into the alley.
And if you focus on a certain goal, you can see everything related to it.
For example, the current river.
"Is it the problem here?"
Duanmuhuai stood by the river and looked at the river water in front of him. The dim light in the pregnant lady''s belly was connected to this river, which means that the dead baby had something to do with this river?
But no traces of curse or magic were detected...well...
Duanmuhuai stared at the river again and focused her attention. Soon, his gaze began to "go upstream" and moved in the direction of the surging river. Then he came to the cave located in the mountains. Then Duanmuhuai saw a strange and dazzling flash. In a huge pond, a stone was emitting dazzling light, and then...
“Woo!”
The next moment, a severe headache came, Duanmu Huai came to his senses, and then he realized that the light connected to Mary had disappeared.
"Sure enough, it''s not my own golden eyes, so it''s still troublesome to use."
Obviously, Golden Eyes are indeed magical tools. When placed in the game, this is simply an automatic plug-in. Simply put, it is like a player who takes on a task and directly shows you a direction mark. Players can complete the task directly by following the direction mark. It is simply cheating.
But unfortunately, this thing does not seem to support sharing. Although Duanmu Huai is fine, Mari can no longer support it...
Forget it, no matter what, you have found a clue.
"Sir, it''s not good!"
At this moment, a guard ran over panting. He looked pale and frightened, while Duanmu Huai closed his eyes and stared at him.
"What''s wrong?"
"Monster, monster! There are monsters in the mine!"
The guards who came back were one of the guards who had ordered Duanmu Huai to check out the mine before. According to his story, the group followed the little kid to the entrance of the mine halfway up the mountain, and found that the mine that should have been closed was indeed smashed by something. Everyone was shocked at that time. They should have left immediately and reported the news to Duanmuhuai, but several guards from miners were so angry that they were destroyed by the mine, and then walked into the dark mine. I want to figure out what happened in the mine.
But soon, the guards left outside heard the screams coming from inside. The screams that seemed to have even been torn apart made the others tremble. They almost immediately dropped their weapons and hurried back.
"I see."
Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then nodded.
"I will deal with it. The person who called me blocked all the entrances and exits of mines - are there many entrances and exits?"
"There are only two, I will completely block them!"
The guard who came back had a pale face and his lips were trembling, but he still had the courage to answer.
"Do you need me to notify your companions?"
"Not needed for the time being, it would be better for me to handle this alone."
Although the Golden Pupil did not see the end, Duanmu Huai had some speculations. Perhaps this could also explain why neither the priest nor the paladin noticed the reason for the problem. Because this has gone beyond their knowledge and common sense. Just like for people in other worlds, the so-called magic or magic is more like a deceptive trick, and some things are also very strange to people in this world.
The entrance to the mine is located halfway up the mountain behind the town. There are rails here, and you can see the empty mine trucks around you - it is obvious that they once had a brilliant time, but now the dust and spider webs of mine trucks show that those days are gone forever.
"Stay away from here, don''t get close, and no one comes in."
Before Duanmu Huai walked into the cave, he turned around again and said to the mayor and the garrison officer.
"If you want to come in, you will be responsible for the consequences."
“Is it dangerous inside?”
"You don''t need to know this."
Duanmu Huai''s cold eyes stopped the mayor''s stupid and curious inquiry.
"If you want to come in, please feel free, after all, I have warned you."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and left, while the others swallowed, looked at each other for a moment, and then retreated one after another.
They are not stupid. The mine is dim and dull.
Duanmu Huai clenched his hands into fists and walked in with big strides. This narrow space is not suitable for him to swing the Thunder Warhammer or the Power Sword, but it doesn''t matter. For Duanmuhuai, these fists alone were enough to make all creatures that dared to stand in front of him turn into a pile of meat sauce.
Even more effective than Warhammer.
"Click...Click...Click...Click...!"
As Duanmu Huai penetrated deep into the mine, a strange noise appeared in his helmet, but Duanmu Huai was not surprised by the noise. It can even be said that he had guessed it long ago!
"Sure enough, **** radiation!"
Looking at the radiation warning from the helmet, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists.
This is what he guessed when he saw the last scene through his golden eyes. Although it is not surprising that stones will shine in the magic world, it can even be said that many gems will shine. But Duanmuhuai soon thought of what Priest Tair had said before that their investigation had found nothing.
If that stone is the function of some kind of magic, then they will not be able to detect it. But what if that''s not magic?
Can radioactive substances be detected by detecting toxins or detecting curses?
Duanmu Huai was not sure what this magic was detected as the basis, but now it seems that these magic obviously had no effect on the radiation generated by nature.
So, is this just an accident?
Duanmuhuai doesn''t think so. The reason is very simple. This is an iron ore. If there had been a radiation mine here for a long time, then the miners in Locke Town would have died almost long ago. But if you say that it was dug up recently, it would be wrong. From the previous mine truck, it can be seen that because the mines were completely mined, Rock Town has not opened mining for a long time, and this kind of thing does not exist at all.
In other words, someone deliberately put a piece of radiation ore here in order to poison people downstream of the river - radiation pollution caused fetal malformation and miscarriage has long been no news. In this way, the shape of the dead baby in Rock Town is also understandable. The only thing to say is that this process is a bit too fast, and similar situations seem to have not occurred elsewhere.
Perhaps it is because Rock Town is closest to it, so it has been affected the most?
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai refused to let An, Mary and others come with him. The judge''s power armor can resist all radiation and extreme cold and high temperatures, and can also move freely in a vacuum. But he didn''t believe An''s magic could protect himself from radiation pollution.
Radiated ore, but unlike ordinary radiation ore, Feren doesn''t seem to produce this thing. Does it come from another world? That''s even more interesting. Who, for what purpose, and what world brought it here?
You should know that except for Rock Town, this nearby is deserted, and it is not a densely populated place like Deep Water City or No Winter City. Generally speaking, if you use radiation to cause pollution, you can choose to launch attacks in big cities instead of in such small places...
“Huh———!”
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, suddenly, a sharp spear-like thing appeared from the dark shadow, stabbed Duanmu Huai''s head, and then hit Duanmu Huai''s helmet and flew away. Feeling the impact of the battle, Duanmu Huai also roared angrily, calmed down, reached out to grab the spear, pulled it hard, and then accompanied by a scream, a black shadow fell from the air and hit the ground.
At this moment, under the illumination of the searchlight, Duanmu Huai clearly saw the monster attacking him - its body was like an adult human, but it only had a body. His limbs were very slender, especially the forearms and calf, which were even longer like spiders'' feet. Moreover, the monster had no neck at all. Its twisted face was "intacted" between the middle of his shoulders, and his chin opened and closed, making painful screams. The turbid and filthy blood spurted out from the break of one of the feet, sprinkling the entire cave.
What''s this thing? Spider-turned human?
Looking at the ghost thing in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also confused. He had never seen a similar mutant monster, but it was certain that these things should be the monsters that emerged from the belly of a woman in Locke Town before, because Duanmu Huai remembered it very clearly that the mayor and the garrison captain once said that the victim''s body seemed to be torn through and tear apart by something like a spear...
Duanmuhuai looked at the section on his hand, and it looked like a person''s calves being pulled, but the place where it was supposed to be the soles of his feet was raised high, forming a sharp top.
Well, it seems that this is the weapon.
But this thing is obviously bigger than Duanmu Huai imagined. You should know that this thing was hiding in a woman''s belly at first, and it would only be as big as a baby, but now the monster''s body is similar to a strong adult man.
What does it rely on to eat...uh, it can''t be radiation.
Duanmu Huai''s face darkened. He felt more and more that this was a conspiracy.
The twisted dead baby corpse, a mutant monster that feeds on radiation, and a stone that emits radiation energy.
Putting these three things together always gives Duanmu Huai a strong standard plot like the opening of a mission.
"snort!"
Duanmuhuai stepped on the twisted monster and directly stepped on its body into a **** ball of meat sauce. Then he clenched his fists and continued to walk inside. The mine was connected, but it was no longer important for Duanmuhuai. Now he just needs to follow the radiation detector and find the place with the highest radiation concentration.
The deeper you go into the mine, the more weird monsters there are. Duanmu Huai also saw the corpses of soldiers who entered the mine before. Their bodies were pierced, their abdomen were cut open, and the internal organs inside were scattered all over the ground. It was obvious that the monsters who were eating them seemed not very familiar with how to eat. However, Duanmuhuai did not doubt that these monsters would understand after experimenting several times.
But unfortunately, they no longer have a chance.
"Squeak squeak———!"
This twisted monster let out a rat-like scream and pounced on Duanmuhuai. Their attack method was very simple, that was, to pierce the enemy''s body with its limbs like a spear, and then tear them apart. However, this move was completely useless for Duanmu Huai. He didn''t even want to hide, but let the other party hit him.
“Dang———!”
Duanmuhuai remained as if it were a rock, but the monster screamed and retreated, but Duanmuhuai had already stretched out his fist and punched the monster''s body, directly knocking it in half. Then he grabbed the monster''s remaining limb and swung it suddenly, breaking the slender legs of another monster. The moment it fell to the ground, a big steel foot suddenly stepped on it.
“Bang!”
The monster''s remaining limbs trembled for a moment, and then there was no response.
“Waste.”
Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, stood up and continued to move forward. He had heard the sound of running water, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to his destination. If that''s right, when he walks through this corner, he will see an underground lake, and there will be a glowing stone in the center of the underground lake.
But all Duanmuhuai saw was pitch black.
The sudden darkness could not even pass through Duanmuhuai''s searchlight. It was not until a moment later that Duanmuhuai saw the crimson flesh and sharp teeth that were constantly squirming in front of him through the light that he realized what had happened.
"Damn, what''s the matter!"
Duanmu Huai roared angrily, reached out his hand, grabbed the other party''s mouth that bit his head, and then pulled it hard. The skin and muscles that seemed like rubber were torn apart by Duanmuhuai. Soon, a gap was torn apart in the dark space. Then Duanmuhuai roared with his hands and used force again, directly expanding the gap. Then he threw the idiot who attacked him on the ground.
That was a snake.
But it looks like it is not only a snake, but also a fusion of some strange animals. It has a wolf-like head, snake body, and even gecko-like feet and tail. This looks weird and distorted. Unfortunately, in front of Duanmuhuai, this twisted mutant deformed monster had no effect. Its head had been torn in half by Duanmuhuai, turning into a pile of flesh and blood sank on the ground.
Then, Duanmuhuai saw the stone emitting shining light.
“DidiDidi———!”
At the same time, the sirens of radiation also increased rapidly. It is obvious that the radiation brought by this stone has exceeded the critical value. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai''s power armor can completely resist this level of radiation. He walked into the underground lake, came to the stone, and stared at it.
"Where are you from?"
Duanmuhuai didn''t believe that this stone was produced locally. It was about one meter high and looked like a semicircular stone, emitting bright light like an incandescent lamp. Duanmuhuai remembers that there is this kind of ore in the game. It will be used when some specific races create power systems, but it is relatively backward power source.
Soon, Duanmuhuai found the answer. He found a corpse not far from the ore - a corpse that did not belong to this world.
The reason why Duanmu Huai is so sure is also obvious. No one in this world can walk around in space suits or space armor.
Except for yourself.
This man was also lying in the lake at this moment, and the cause of his death was obvious. From his lost lower body, it can be seen that the deceased should have been attacked by some kind of local monster here, and then tore it in half, and then died unluckyly. Then the stone he brought was easy to explain.
Everyone who brought it was dead, it wouldn’t be able to run away on its own, right?
But when Duanmuhuai turned the corpse over and saw its swollen face, covered with rotten sores and the blasphemy and ugly traces on its chest, Duanmuhuai got far more than he imagined.
“The corrupt believer…”
Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth and stared at the corpse in front of him fiercely.
"You really ran to a very far place..."
