"The mysterious world under steampunk (

"Can you tell me about things like mine?" the pregnant woman asked expectantly.

Leo didn't answer, but was silent for a while, and asked: "Can you tell me what happened to the five missing people?"

The pregnant woman replied calmly: "If they are lucky, they will have come back to Torch City soberly. If they are not lucky, they may have been eaten by a monster in the forest." Then she looked at Lei with profound meaning. Ou, said: "You should know that I don't eat any intelligent life. I am only interested in the strong emotions in the heart of intelligent life. Joy is like barbecue and love is like dessert..."

"So scared?" Leo asked again.

The pregnant woman bluntly said: "Fear is like a soothing grass. It smells bad, but it can refresh your spirits and it's very addictive. I'm already addicted."

Soothing grass is a kind of herbal medicine used in ceremonies held by Shamans of the mainland of Mozambique. It can soothe people’s emotions and invigorate people for a period of time. The medical school absorbed this herbal medicine into common medicines to extract more effects A good concoction is used to treat mental illnesses.

However, the medical school soon discovered that the soothing herbal juices refined through the extraction not only have better medicinal effects, but also have strong side effects, that is, they are easily addicted, and addicted people cannot get the soothing they want. After herbal medicine, it will quickly become manic, violent, and eventually even self-destruct and destroy others' thoughts and behaviors.

Because of this strong side effect, medical schools have to abandon this special medicine for the treatment of mental illness, and put Soothing Herb on the banned drug list, and countries have also banned this medicine.

However, as the world has changed, although most of the ordinary human bodies have not undergone drastic changes, they have more or less changed, such as the ability to withstand the side effects of drugs. People in this era are generally concerned A world where monsters are rampant feels desperate and panic, and the mental pressure far exceeds that of more than 20 years ago. So Soothing Grass, a potion that can invigorate spirits, was removed from the banned drug list again and made various kinds of convenient consumption. And the finished medicines you carry.

In the caravan of fire dancers, many people, especially guards and hunters who directly participated in the frontline battle, have the habit of taking soothing herbal medicine. Every time they trade, they are struggling for their lives and bear much pressure. Exceeding those who live in the city under the protection of high walls, without the help of soothing herbal medicine, many of them might have suffered a nervous breakdown due to excessive stress.

Although Leo has never used soothing herbal medicines, he is very familiar with similar medicines. When in the Earth Federation, the federal army will distribute similar medicines to ordinary soldiers on the front line to increase the combat time of the soldiers and reduce the long-term battle. Mental pressure.

However, even this kind of medicine developed by the technology of the Earth Federation has extremely strong side effects and can cause irreparable mental damage to soldiers who have taken it for a long time. He can be sure that this soothing herbal medicine is absolutely without verification. Will not be as harmless as rumors outside.

It is foreseeable that even if these drug users resist the side effects of the soothing herbal medicine through their strong body, so that the body does not show signs of addiction, their spirit has been completely eroded by the soothing herbal medicine. Once they lose the medicine The supply, then they will also become completely useless because of the devastated spirit.

A pregnant woman is a spiritual life body. Her spiritual understanding of intelligent creatures absolutely surpasses all levels of life in the world or even the universe, so she must also understand the mental condition of those who take soothing herbal medicine. But now she She also used Soothing Herbs to describe her love and addiction to panic, which also made Leo a little worried.

Just as people who take soothing herbal medicines will continue to increase their doses to improve the efficacy of the medicine, pregnant women may not be satisfied with the amount of panic that they are consuming now. It will definitely expand her food sources. There is another caravan, but it may be a city or even a county or a country.

After Leo thought of this, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his emotions changed slightly, considering whether he should tell the information about the spiritual life body he knew.

Although higher civilizations have never found irrefutable evidence to prove the existence of mental life forms, they have already conducted in-depth research on mental life forms through other means. In particular, most of the published materials are correct. Research on the abilities of the mental life body.

Just as Leo was able to find out his own psionic skills through his understanding of psionics, the spiritual lifeform in front of him may also be able to find out her powers and abilities through the research materials of those higher civilizations. At that time, a spiritual life body that was extremely addicted to panic, who could stop it?

If it was before, Leo would not consider the consequences of saying these research materials. He would only use these materials to trade with the spiritual life body to obtain what he wanted. As for other people and the world, He won't care too much about any adverse effects.

But now the situation is completely different. He has acquired ordinary human emotions, and he needs to consider more things, and he has more worries in his heart.

Just when Leo hesitated, the mental life body also accurately sensed Leo’s emotional changes, and realized that she might no longer be able to know information about her existence from Leo’s mouth, which made her can’t help. A little angry, the look on his face also became gloomy.

"You won't tell me anything about existence like me." The pregnant woman pointedly pointed out Leo's mind at the moment.

Leo didn't hesitate anymore, nodded, and admitted: "Yes."

The pregnant woman said indifferently: "It's okay, I can find it myself."

After that, before Leo made any response, the pregnant woman disappeared from Leo's eyes, as if she had never existed.

The emergence of the abnormal situation made Leo instantly understand that the opponent might have entered his spiritual world through his own abilities, so he immediately used his known methods to let his consciousness enter his spiritual world to check the situation, and quickly check the database in the brain. The state of memory.

However, after repeated and careful inspections, Leo did not find anything abnormal in himself, and there was no sign of being invaded. This did not make him relieved, but made him more vigilant.

In his opinion, if the research on the mental life body is not too wrong, then the mental life body just now may have invaded his spiritual world and began to look through the various materials in his brain.

In the face of this situation, Leo couldn't find any effective countermeasures from the various abilities he had mastered, let alone him, even the gods of the world of Velen could hardly resist the intrusion of spiritual life forms.

The only thing Leo can do now is to use any method he has mastered against his own spiritual consciousness to repeatedly check, hoping to find some traces of invasion.

As time passed, Leo was very disappointed with the same inspection results again and again, but he was puzzled when he was disappointed, because with the ability of the spiritual life body, if it has really invaded his spiritual world, then The other party should have read his memory thoroughly and left his spiritual world a long time ago, but now that spiritual life body seems to have disappeared and never reappeared.

"Did she have left?" The abnormal situation made Leo couldn't help but have a conjecture, but soon he shook his head again, denying this conjecture, because according to the situation of his contact with the spiritual life body, the other party Even if he has obtained the information he wants, he will still reappear in front of him.

"Or she has disappeared?" Leo immediately came up with a thought, and this thought was completely impossible under his rational analysis, but his intuition told him that it might be a fact.

Under the guidance of intuition, Leo repeatedly analyzed the reason why the spiritual life body did not appear, and gradually felt that the guess that the spiritual life body had disappeared may be correct.

Because Leo discovered that he seemed to be caught in a thinking misunderstanding when facing the spiritual life body just now, and this thinking misunderstanding was enough to make his subsequent series of analysis and judgments go in the wrong direction.

For example, all the information he knows about spiritual life forms is derived from unconfirmed public information. Even the existence of the Supreme Council of the universe is vague about whether the spiritual life forms really exist. There is no substantive object for research. All research materials are derived from illusions, just because these studies are from higher civilizations and the Supreme Council of the Universe. Its authority effect makes all people who obtain these materials subconsciously think of these materials. Yes, the spiritual life body is real.

But what if the spiritual life body does not exist? Is everything just a guess? Then the mysterious existence disguised as a pregnant woman just now is not a spiritual life body, and all the abilities of the spiritual life body will naturally not appear in this mysterious existence, such as the ability to be immortal.

Take a step back and think about it. Even if the spiritual life form exists, the other party is indeed a spiritual life form, but the surrounding environment is completely different. This is not the emptiness of the universe, but is probably a subspace plane, everything in the universe. No laws can be fully applied here.

Just as the psychic energy will be greatly restricted here, the power of the spiritual life body may also be greatly suppressed, so that the various abilities of the spiritual life body in his memory will naturally be counted.

And the more important point is that the power here is different from the power in the universe. Whether the spiritual beings that cannot be restrained in the universe will be restrained in this world is not certain, maybe in this world. It is not impossible that there is some kind of force to restrain her.

Thinking of this, Leo shifted the focus of the examination from his spiritual world to other parts of his body, especially the imprints of the gods in his body.

Soon Leo discovered that when he condensed the stone throne in his brain through mental power, he found that there was an extra relief on the base of the stone throne, or more correctly, he felt there was an extra relief.

Leo couldn't describe exactly what this relief looked like, because it was a vague concept, not a specific image, but Leo knew that it was the spiritual life form.

Obviously, when this spiritual lifeform invaded Leo's spiritual world, it happened to hit the power of the Stone Throne and was directly absorbed by the Stone Throne.

A special existence that was tricky enough to make the entire universe disappeared silently, which gave Leo a strong sense of unreality. He even felt that this might be the spiritual being created according to his memory and thoughts. Hallucinations.

But his intuition told him that all of this is true. The Stone Throne has indeed swallowed this emotionally addicted spiritual life body, since intuition can let Leo find this spiritual life body, so intuition can naturally also find this spirit. The condition of the living body.

Being able to solve a problem so easily, Leo was naturally happy to see it in his heart, but at the same time he also regretted that a strange life form that could change the life form of the universe disappeared in his hands, and he also regretted that he failed to get out of it. This spiritual life body can get more useful information ~lightnovelpub.net~ But even so, Leo can still analyze some extremely bold content from some clues.

For example, from previous conversations, Leo could hear that this spiritual life form appeared after the universe may have undergone changes. She did not understand some common sense things in the universe at all, but she was able to understand some universes Leo said. The concept, as if the knowledge she knew from birth, made Leo couldn't help but guess that this spiritual life form was not new, but reborn.

Since there is rebirth, there will naturally be destruction, and apart from this stone throne, the only way that Leo knows to destroy the spiritual life form may be the destruction of the entire universe. All intelligent creatures in the universe are destroyed, and they have lost their spiritual sustenance. , The spiritual life body is naturally impossible to continue to exist.

It’s just that Leo doesn’t believe that this analysis is correct, not to mention the impact of the universe’s destruction on subspace. Even if the universe is destroyed, the destruction process may be very long, possibly hundreds of millions of years. The time when life appeared in the world of Vinylon is contrary to that, unless the power of the subspace has been able to squeeze such a long time distortion of hundreds of millions of years to thousands of years.

In any case, for Leo, this spiritual life form is just a special existence he encountered during his early journey. Now that the matter has passed, he no longer thinks about it, and his consciousness has retreated from the spiritual world without returning. The fire dancers caravan, but directly continued along the trail towards the other end of the Newsky Mountains.

Not long after Leo left, a phantom suddenly appeared in the place where he was before. This phantom soon condensed into a middle-aged man, and this middle-aged man looked at Leo leaving with fear in his eyes. The direction followed by disappeared from the same place.
