The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"He killed that monster! He killed that monster!" There were bursts of exclamations full of unbelievable emotions in the closed windows. The sound will attract some vicious monsters.

"He is a priest of the Black City, for sure, he must be a priest of the Black City!" Just when everyone was shocked and awed by what Leo had done, a voice that sounded very old suddenly came from a room where there was no room. It came from the lighted room.

The moment this voice came out, all the surrounding voices were silent, and all the people hiding behind the windows seemed to have their tongues cut off and never made another sound, and they didn't even dare to stick to the window to peek at Lei. With a glance at Ou, it seemed that Leo had become something more terrifying than that huge monster.

Although Leo heard the name of the Black City for the first time, he could vaguely feel that the Black City might refer to the giant black city on the slope of the volcano, that is, the city built by the giant Guha.

Leo could feel that the old man who mistook him for the black city priest must know a lot about this giant city. If possible, he hoped to get some useful information from this person.

However, no matter how dull he is, he can still feel how repelled the people in these small apartment buildings are to him, and it is impossible to have any normal conversations with these people, and because of the barrier of invisible forces outside the small building, even if he uses the nightmare Exercising the demon hunter's seal with all his might would not have any effect, so his thoughts were not on those people in the small building at all.

Leo's eyes are now on the completely petrified monster in front of him. He walks around the monster to check for any useful clues on the petrified monster while feeling the changes in his body.

Although Leo still doesn't know what kind of power and changes the sacrificial knife will bring to him after being integrated into his body, judging from the current situation, at least the power of the sacrificial knife, or the power of the master of turbidity and lightness Can relieve the pain caused by the power of his blood.

If the power of the bloodlines is like a gushing flood, then the power of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness is like a flood canal, blocking and offsetting the uncontrollable and violent parts of the power of the bloodlines, allowing the restless bloodlines to The power gradually calmed down.

Although he still felt the pain caused by the impact of force on his body, compared to the previous pain, it is obvious that it can hardly be called pain now. Even without the support of the will of a ninth-level psyker, it would not affect him in any way. .

"It's really weird!" Leo walked around the huge petrified monster for a few times, then stood in front of the monster's head, stopped in his tracks, frowned, and murmured in confusion.

According to the experience of the previous sacrifice, the huge monster that was sacrificed should be turned into ashes, but now it was only petrified, and while walking around the monster a few times just now, he found that the monster was still alive, because He could also feel a very weak force supporting its fragile vitality from the monster.

This perception of power is also the product of Leo's tortured by the power of blood. His sensory nerves have become extremely sensitive after repeated extreme tortures. He can perceive even the weakest psychic energy. Power is no longer limited to psionic power or psionic power, and even some mysterious powers that could not be discovered before can also be perceived by him, such as the weak power in this monster now.

If the sacrifice fails and the monster is still alive, it is reasonable, but the problem is that Leo is very sure that the sacrifice was successful, and he got the reward that the sacrificial knife is integrated into his body, but now the monster is still alive, but it is unreasonable, which makes him Feel very puzzled.

However, the question that made him a little confused at the moment was answered very quickly. His sensitive sensory nerves caught a trace of the direction of an unknown force. It has a petrified monster body, and as this unknown power is injected into the monster's body, the weak force in the monster's body that supports its life gradually becomes stronger.

At the same time as the breath of life began to grow stronger, the petrified part of the monster's body also began to fade and soften like melting snow. According to this speed, it would not take long for this huge monster to break free from petrification and recover again.

After discovering this situation, Leo didn't stay long, and directly used the shadow jump to quickly move away from the giant monster. Moreover, when he was still moving, he also cautiously sensed the surrounding situation, carefully avoiding all the monsters wandering around. Monsters on the streets of the giant city.

Not long after Leo left, bursts of ear-piercing roars suddenly sounded behind him, followed by the sound of smashing houses and the screams of some ordinary people in horror. It seems that the revived monster was not found. Leo took his anger out on the residents of the stone house, and those residents could only pray that the power protecting the small building could withstand the constant attacks of monsters.

Leo, who ignored the movement behind him, moved quickly in the shadows and approached the hut he had placed. He was not afraid of the monster, but felt that it was unnecessary to waste his energy on an unkillable monster.

According to the various situations just now, Leo also noticed that the monster might also be a kind of symbiont.

He did sacrifice the monster with a sacrificial knife just now, but because of the characteristics of the symbiote, even if the monster is sacrificed, the symbiote connected to it will split into an identical symbiote to revive it , As for whether the revived monster is still the original monster, it is not known.

But judging from the current situation, that monster at least has all the memories of the past, otherwise, it would not want to seek revenge from Leo, and if he could not find Leo, he would vent his anger at the nearby houses.

Because the perception has become extremely sensitive, Leo can always use the power of those monsters to perceive their positions before the monsters wandering back and forth on the street approach them, and avoid the monster's travel route in advance, avoiding a lot of troubles. The troubles caused him to return to the stone house where he did not spend too much time.

Leo only needs to go less than a hundred meters forward, and Leo can enter the stone house and return to the small apartment building where he is placed. However, Leo did not go forward, but continued to hide in the shadows, looking through Shadows fell on the dozen or so monster stone statues on the stone roof.

Leo remembered very clearly that there were no sculptures on the stone roof at all, not even some reliefs. Obviously, these monster stone statues appeared after dark. Although there is no difference between these monster stone statues and real stone statues, the sensitive Lei Ou However, Ou could feel a wave of power from these stone statues, and these powers were almost the same as the giant petrified monsters he sacrificed before.

Time passed little by little like this. Staying in the shadow for a long time will not only consume a lot of Leo's shadow power, but the unknown power that exists in the shadow itself will also have an erosive effect on his body.

Fortunately, this erosive effect cannot be compared with the power of blood in Leo's body. It was washed away by the power of blood before it penetrated into Leo's body, and was treated as a snack by the power of gluttony following behind the power of blood If it was eaten, it would not be able to cause any harm to Leo at all.

The only thing he has to do now is to constantly transform spiritual energy, supplement the consumption of the power of shadow, keep himself in the shadow all the time, and avoid conflicts with those stone monsters.

It's not that Leo can't defeat those stone monsters. With the strength of his fifth-level psyker, it's easy to solve those stone monsters that are only ordinary psykers at best, but solving those stone monsters doesn't mean solving the trouble , On the contrary, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

There is also a trace of power from the black giant city inside those stone monsters, and this trace of power is connected with all the monsters in the city. As long as he takes a shot against a monster, it will alarm all the monsters.

Just now he used the sacrificial knife to solve the giant monster, which should have alarmed the monsters in the city. Although those monsters are still wandering aimlessly in the streets full of incense smoke and human-shaped bonfires like walking dead, but he He could feel a wave of malice pervading the space, like a spider spreading its web, waiting for his prey to throw itself into the net.

In this confrontation of patience, Leo is definitely a good opponent. He did not give any chance to the hunter hidden behind the spider web, because with the power of blood as a backup, the power of shadow can pass even if it consumes a lot. Transforming the power of the bloodlines to supplement, and doing so indirectly weakened the power of the bloodlines and relieved the pain on his body.

As a ray of sunlight shone down from the top of the volcano in the distance, the time had come to the early morning of the next day, and the entire giant city changed astonishingly at the moment the sun shone.

I saw that the bodies of the monsters walking back and forth on the street gradually became transparent, from real to virtual, and finally disappeared. The same is true of the stone monsters on the top of the stone roof, and the black unknown substances attached to the surrounding walls are also like dry and cracked walls Cracks appeared on the surface, and then fell like rain, and disappeared on the ground, leaving only the original white wall.

Leo came out of the shadows, before he had time to check his body, he stretched out his hand to pick up a little ashes that fell from the wall.

However, when his fingers touched that piece of ashes, his fingers without any force passed directly through the ashes, turning into dust and disappearing.

"The subspace domain?" This phenomenon made Leo slightly stunned, but he quickly realized that he couldn't help thinking of what he found in the stone tower in his mind, and he couldn't help muttering thoughtfully.

Different from the natural psionic domain, the subspace domain is completely artificially created, and the method of creating this kind of domain is very simple. As long as two conditions are met, the subspace domain can be easily created.

One condition is that the psyker must be a psyker, and the other condition is that the psyker must endure extreme physical and mental pain, and whether it is an ordinary first-level psyker or a ninth-level Omega-level Psykers, the warp realms they create are equally dangerous.

In the realm of subspace, all natural laws will be distorted and changed by the creator’s ideas, such as gravity, time, etc. Some of the core original forces of the universe can be distorted by the realm of subspace, because the realm of subspace and the real world overlap. Yes, so some people also call the subspace realm the inner world.

Just as the laws in the subspace domain have been distorted, the degree of danger in the subspace domain cannot be judged by the creator. In many cases, the degree of danger in the subspace domain created by high-level psykers is not even high. Not as good as ordinary psykers who have just mastered psychic powers.

The reason why this unreasonable situation occurs is because the power of the subspace domain all comes from the subspace, and the power of the subspace needs a channel interface to enter the normal universe, and the psyker who creates the subspace domain is Such a channel interface.

High-level psykers themselves have extremely strong willpower. Even if some unknown things plunge them into extreme physical and mental pain and create a subspace domain, their own willpower will spontaneously resist The urge to merge with the Warp, so that the Warp domain they form is incomplete, will last for a while and disappear.

And those ordinary psykers, especially those hidden psykers who are on the verge of awakening, when they encounter extreme physical and mental pain, they will desperately want to vent their pain, even if they completely turn themselves into subspace The channel interface, so the subspace domain created by these psykers will last for a long time, and the level of danger will be embarrassing even for Omega-level advanced creatures.

Although Leo has never been in contact with the subspace domain, he has also seen some information about the subspace domain in the database, and there are methods to identify the subspace domain in these materials, and the scene described by one of the methods It was almost exactly the same as what he had just seen.

"In other words, those monsters are all real illusions created by subspace power. No wonder they can't be killed." Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but think of the giant monster that was sacrificed but not dead last night. If this huge city is shrouded in the subspace domain, then many questions that puzzled him can be figured out.

Leo thought of this, turned his head and looked in the direction of the black giant city, with a little thoughtful expression on his face, then turned around and walked towards the stone house, before the others in the stone house noticed, he returned to the apartment where he was placed. in the building.

At the same time, in the stone tower that Leo visited last night, a group of old men in white robes stood around the remains of the monsters he killed last night, each of them looked extremely serious, and one of them had his eyes shattered. The old man who sewed it up said in a deep voice: "We have been in peace for too long, and we have forgotten that this is a place where people can die at any time. Even important places like high towers can be invaded at will. Fortunately, this time it was just death. A few volunteers, if the intruder destroys the artifact, Yam will be finished."

Although the old man's lecturing tone made the other people present harsh, but they didn't dare to refute. They all kept their heads down, showing a look of willingness to be punished.
