Cataclysm King

Chapter 369: Witch Lanlingst

"In this box, the efficiency of spiritual power cultivation is many times that of outside. And this is because my current proficiency in the secret visualization method is not too high, and I cannot fully understand what the specific things that can benefit the soul are. I estimate, This mysterious blessing will be more effective in nourishing the souls of certain high-level spirits or immortals."

"Hmm. I can't fully understand it in my current state. It should be some kind of high-level law in the soul."

“No wonder the immortals gather on this train. It turns out that it can warm and nourish the spirit body. By the way, Aunt Qin, do you know where this train is going?”

"I don't know. I have seen some records about this Nether Train in the ruins of the Old Continent before, but the authority level of the content is very high, even above the three major inherited sacred artifacts of the Bai family. I estimate that this may involve What secret is there beyond the ordinary?”

“Aunt Qin, do you mean the divine level?”

 “Hmm. Even if it’s not, it’s almost there.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun meditated cross-legged on the sofa for a moment to confirm that his feeling was not an illusion.

 The same is true for Qin Ru.

Both of them were confused as to what caused such an increase on the train.

 The more carefully Ji Xun observed, the more curious he became about what was recorded in the notebook.

Seeing this, Qin Rushi didn't dare to touch the notebook, but looked at Ji Xun beside him.

This 002 special class ticket belongs to the head of the Bai family, so it is not difficult to guess the content of this note. It may be what was recorded by the heads of the Bai family in the past generations.

Although the furnishings of the room reveal a mysterious and classical luxury,

 But the layout is also very simple,

 You can see clearly at a glance.

 But after deducing it, it seems that only by reading it can they know what they are about to encounter on this train.

Since it is the diary of the head of the family, the contents are definitely not simple.

 A bed covered with white sheets, a deerskin sofa, a small bathroom with a brass shower, a mahogany dressing table with an oval mirror, a wardrobe, and a dark copper-colored old-fashioned gramophone.

Ji Xun walked to the closet.

Just when Ji Xun thought that he might be thinking too much, he heard a soft whine next to his ear.

 This is very contradictory.

 Opened it cautiously and found nothing.

Qin Ru turned his head and looked behind him, "It should have cracked during the battle with the old fox."

 This is the only place in the box where large items can be hidden.

Although Qin Rushi has the blood of the Bai family, he has also received many inheritances from the God Thief sequence.

Qin Ru thought for a moment, and then said: "Either there are some unknown hidden dangers in this kind of warmth. Or this train cannot be used for a long time."

 But after all, she didn’t know much about the internal situation of the Bai family.

Qin Ru was convinced of this.

 The side pages of the notebook look like they have been turned frequently and have rough edges. There is a pen next to it.

Ji Xun accidentally reached out and touched her, saying, "Aunt Qin, your clothes are torn."

 But they estimated that no one except the head of the Bai family knew why.

As he spoke, he smiled again: "But I guess this notebook is not so casual for outsiders to look through."

Ji Xun held his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "I estimate that just having a ticket does not allow the holder to spend safely in the No. 002 first-class carriage. It should also require some permissions from the Bai family. For example, on this notebook Content"

ˆ “.”

But no clues were found, but he accidentally saw a crack on the back of Qin Rushi's cheongsam, where the shoulder blade was.

 The dressing mirror reflected the two people frowning and thinking.

 The crack is not big, but the fair skin can be seen just right.

 The two of them fell into deep thought, and the room became quiet for a while.

Ji Xun stood up and looked at everything in the room carefully.

Turning his head to the side, Qin Ru was looking at the dressing table.

His peripheral vision quietly looked around the room, even the cracks and textures on the wall.

It is because of this confusing mystery that the two of them are even more curious.

 Thinking, thinking, Ji Xun's eyes are not idle either.

The more important the secrets recorded in this notebook are, the greater the risk of reading them.

Ji Xun added: "The people of the Bai family have this train to assist their mental training. Theoretically, they can mass-produce high-level card masters of the mysterious system. But the fact is that although the Bai family has many masters, they are far from the best. To the extent expected.”

"oh?"

Ji Xun nodded in approval and said, "Since the ticket No. 002 is owned by the head of the Bai family, I think there should be some clues in this box."

 In fact, he had already observed it when he first entered the door.

 This is also the only place in the room with drawers for storing things.

When Ji Xun looked at it, he was looking at an old notebook placed in the drawer Qin Rushi opened.

"Um."

 Chin Ru said: "Yeah."

Out of caution, neither of them touched the note.

 Didn't see the crack, but felt the warmth of Ji Xun's fingertips.

She glanced at him doubtfully, as if she thought this behavior was a bit too intimate.

I don’t know if there was a lot of physical contact in the ordinary car before, which made this contact not too abrupt.

Ji Xun’s fingers did not retract.

 Instead, he felt like a child's evil spirit poking into the clothes and tearing the hole a little open.

　　　　???”

Feeling the touch on his back, Qin Rushi also showed a hint of surprise on his face, with a little hesitation.

It seems that I feel that it is not appropriate to stop it, and it seems that it is inappropriate not to say it.

Qin Rushi seemed to have thought of something for a moment, a trace of imperceptible vigilance flashed in her crystal eyes, and she glanced at the mirror next to her out of the corner of her eye.

 She just hummed in the end: "Huh?"

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun also felt strange. Could it be that the fox fairy charm from before had not stopped?

He didn't hear Qin Rushi's expected displeasure, and he didn't know where his thoughts were wandering.

By coincidence, the old antique gramophone on the dressing table suddenly played melodious and soft dance music.

 Ji Xun's eyes were gleaming, and his expression did not show any abnormality.

 Suddenly a plan comes from the heart.

He naturally put his arm around Qin Rushi's waist as he had done before in an ordinary car and asked, "Aunt Qin, want to dance?"

Qin Rushi's eyes were filled with light. She glanced at him without rejecting him and asked, "Why are you so interested all of a sudden?"

Ji Xun didn't answer. He smiled and gently pulled her, and the two hugged each other and danced close to each other in the carriage.

The moment they turned around, the two of them had no idea that a strange thing had happened.

 Ji Xun and Qin Rushi in the mirror did not turn around.

 “They” looked at the two people in the room with an evil smile on their lips.

The dance music had a slow and melodious rhythm, and the lights dimmed.

Ji Xun held Qin Ru in his arms and danced slowly to the beat of the drum.

The room is not big, the dance steps are not big, and the thick carpet is gentle to step on.

 This is an intimate dance, with most of the two people's bodies touching each other.

 Before, it was forced by the situation in the ordinary carriage. The posture was not bad, but the charming atmosphere was missing.

There are only two people in the box now, and no one else can see them. Some thoughts in my heart escape from the cage, so there is no need to worry.

Qin Ru has a plump figure, and wherever the skin of the two of them touches, it gives people a wonderful touch that is soft to the bone.

 Dance changes with the rhythm of the dance steps, and the body parts also change a lot.

 I don’t know when, Ji Xunlou’s hand slowly fell down from Qin Rushi’s waist, caressing the straight curve.

Hmm. I have to say, it feels really good.

Put your palms through the soft texture of the cheongsam satin and savor it carefully. A full touch that makes your senses extremely satisfying sinks your fingers deeply.

With a slight caress, Ji Xun's fingers could even clearly distinguish the wrinkles of his underwear.

 It made the man more and more interested in exploring.

Ji Xun couldn’t put it down.

Qin Ru's beautiful face was buried in his ear, silent, as if she acquiesced to the slight arrogance.

 The two of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was just like dancing, warm and graceful.

The dance goes on and on.

It seems like a long time has passed.

Ji Xun's eyes suddenly turned from confused to clear.

 Once you have figured it out, it’s time to take action.

He was still dancing with Qin Rushi clinging to him, but suddenly he turned his head to look in the mirror and looked at "himself".

Ji Xun suddenly said: "I'm curious, this is not a charm technique, what kind of magic is it?" As soon as these words came out, the expression of "Ji Xun" in the mirror was instantly shocked.

 It knew that its spell had been seen through, and couldn't hide its surprise: "How did you find me?"

 The voice sounds like that of a young child.

Ji Xun looked at "himself" in the mirror and spoke in astonishment. He thought of something, smiled slightly, and thought to himself: "Is it really a weapon spirit?"

He explained: "From the first moment I entered the house, I was actually on guard. Since it is the private room of the head of the Bai family, it will definitely not be as obvious a trap as a notebook. If there is really any arrangement, once I find that an outsider has broken in , I must have been tricked immediately. There is not much furniture in this box."

"Ji Xun" in the mirror still didn't understand. He seemed to be very curious. Before Ji Xun could whet his appetite, he asked in a childish and doubtful tone: "So, you discovered me?"

"yes."

Ji Xun looked confident and said, "And I also have a weapon spirit. It said it has seen you."

 【The God-Stealing Ring】has always been the token of the head of the Bai family.

 So Wangcai has been to this Netherworld Train, and it’s not surprising to know that there is a weapon spirit in the mirror.

 But what Ji Xun said is not entirely true.

The spirituality of prosperity was created three thousand years ago, but it was severely damaged twice before. There is not much spirituality left now, and not much can be remembered.

It just reminded Ji Xun that the mirror in the room had a familiar feeling.

  But it did not say that there was a spirit in the mirror that had existed for who knows how many years.

Ji Xun is more of a guess.

The more important basis for speculation is the enlightenment that has been discovered a long time ago: "You have been eroded by the mental spell of the 'Prophet's Mirror', the clown mask anchor entry is activated, and you are immune to human pollution."

 The clown mask is immune to that soul-level contamination.

 So Ji Xun knew that the restriction had been triggered as soon as he entered the room.

 It was just that it was triggered at that time. I didn’t think of a good response plan, so I just went with the flow.

Ji Xun in the mirror obviously believed what Ji Xun said and asked, "So you haven't been hit by 'mirror pollution' from beginning to end?"

"yes."

Ji Xun nodded and said: "I wasn't sure what kind of methods you had before, and I didn't plan to confront you until I figured it out. Besides, I also wanted to see what was going on with this spell, so I stayed a while longer. .”

 It was because I didn’t know what the spell was, but it looked like it was a spiritual spell, that I invited Qin Rushi to dance.

 Spiritual spells vary widely, and most of them induce problems in people's spiritual world.

 The expression is: either a sweet dream or a nightmare.

Ji Xun chose the former.

 But that’s not important.

 The important thing is that during this process, he deduced a conjecture: although this mirror has special abilities, it is not very intelligent.

 And the simple exchange just now was actually a test.

 He confirmed his suspicion.

 The spirit of the instrument is the wisdom born of all things in the universe, and its spiritual growth is very slow.

 Maybe thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, only at the level of a human child.

 In layman’s terms: This weapon spirit is easy to fool.

Ji Xun tamed a prosperous bird himself, and he was deeply impressed by it.

Thinking of this, the situation immediately had a breakthrough.

Ji Xun feels that if the mirror is not spiritually high, then the attack may not be a decision made by its subjective consciousness.

 It is a preset conditioned reflex.

 So the important thing now is to ask them about the "conditions" that trigger the attack.

Ji Xun didn't give the man in the mirror time to react. His calm tone suddenly changed, and in a deep voice like an adult threatening a child, he asked: "I have the [God-Stealing Ring] inherited by the head of the family, and my partner has We are the heirs of the Bai family who have merged with the epic source card. Why did you attack us? "

 The words are ambiguous.

 Let’s be scared first.

 In case you are not fooled, you will have to take action anyway, no difference.

 However, the effect is surprisingly good.

As soon as these words came out, "Ji Xun" in the mirror also panicked, hesitating and said: "Because. Because you didn't say the spell."

Ji Xun then suddenly realized that this link was missing.

 But the spell must be secretly passed down by the Bai family. How could anyone else know about it?

Before the mirror spirit could react, he continued to fool around with an exaggerated and effective performance: "Oh, damn, why did I forget this part! What is the spell? Yes."

As expected, Mirror Spirit was fooled and responded eagerly in a childish voice: "You have to ask, 'Mirror, Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?'"

Ji Xun had an expression that I forgot to add now, and repeated: "Mirror, Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Mirror Spirit responded cheerfully like a conditioned reflex: "Of course it's 'Emperor Lanlingst who turned into a witch'!"

As soon as these words came out, the vaguely uncomfortable sense of crisis in the private room dissipated.

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun was delighted when he heard this.

 That’s right!

 But then, his expression was startled: “???”

 He felt as if he had discovered some blind spot hidden in history.

The Bai family is one of the several big families at the top of power in the Talon Empire. They know many royal secrets that outsiders don't know.

So, Emperor Lanlingst transformed into a witch?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 institutions

 Why does it feel like the amount of information is a bit large.

At this point, Ji Xun used him to deduce and perform, and finally figured out the rules of this special box No. 002.

 Looking at it is easy.

 But the most difficult thing is to save yourself from the high-level spell before entering the room.

 Otherwise it’s all just talk.

However, Ji Xun didn't realize it at all. Qin Ru, who was still hugging him and dancing close to her body, heard this, and the corner of his mouth finally turned up in laughter.

I have been listening to the whole process of Ji Xun fooling the children, and now I heard this outrageous "spell".

 She finally couldn't help it anymore and sneered.

This time it was Ji Xun's turn to be surprised, thinking: "What's going on???"

Originally, I wanted to figure out the pattern of mirror attacks, and then find a way to rescue Qin Rushi who was hit.

 But now it seems that Qin Ru is awake?

Qin Rushi stopped pretending and stopped dancing.

Ji Xun was surprised and said, "Aunt Qin, you didn't get hit?"

"No."

 Chin Rushi answered simply.

Looking at Ji Xun's embarrassed expression, she explained: "I have seen records related to this magic mirror in the ruins of the Old Continent before. This is a relic of a very famous Talon dynasty - [The Prophet's House] Mirror]. Because the Bai family recorded some usage methods in the ruins, I realized something was wrong when I opened the door and came in. But I didn't know how to obtain the 'spell' permission. Just been observing.”

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched inexplicably when he heard this: "What about you?"

Qin Rusu glanced at him and said lightly: "I thought you were tricked."

The implication is: I thought you had been tricked, so I danced with you.

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun felt a rare embarrassment when he heard this: Aunt Qin, are you playing me?

Just now, I was focused on deducing and observing the dangers in the room, but I never thought that Qin Ru was not hit.

  It’s embarrassing because the plot just now required that the behavior was indeed a little more intimate.

 The hand feel is also a real experience.

 Intentionally or unintentionally,

 Appears to be both.

If Qin Ru had been tricked, he probably wouldn't have to waste time explaining.

 But now both sides know that the other side has not been hit, and everything that just happened is in a subtle embarrassment.

 This was the first time Qin Ru saw Ji Xun's astonished expression, and he found it quite interesting.

 Then he chuckled indifferently.

This chuckle subtly relieved the slightly awkward atmosphere in the carriage.

Ji Xun didn't see that Qin Ru had any intention of being angry, so he shrugged and said nothing.

 At this time, it is appropriate to pretend to be stupid.

At the same time, the two of them turned their eyes to look at the gray faces that appeared in the mirror.

The eyes are empty and terrifying.

 This is the true form of the [Prophet's Mirror].

 Generally speaking, tool spirits will transform into the image they see most around them, such as humans.

However, the image in the mirror is not a human being, but a ghost.

Ji Xun automatically deduced the reason in his mind: Do you often see ghosts in the mirror?

 So, the passenger living next door is a resentful ghost?

 Or where will this [neon] train drive to where ghosts will often be seen?
