The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 251: Team split

   In the Commonwealth of Earth, the phenomenon of spatial overlap between subspace and the current world is not unprecedented, just because the degree of overlap is different and the damage and destruction caused are also different.

   As it is now the case where a part of the Black Forest Wonderland overlaps with the Dibia Mountains, it often happens in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and there has been a set of response mechanisms within each universe civilization.

Usually this kind of spatial coincidence will not cause great damage to the real world, only because of the misalignment of the space, some objects will temporarily enter the subspace, and people in the coincident space will because of this space. The confusion of perception caused by the misalignment has damaged the spirit to varying degrees.

It's just that this mental injury will not be fatal. At most, people will be in a state of mental depression for a long time afterwards, but after systematic cultivation, this state of mental depression can also return to normal in a short time. There are no sequelae.

But if the space overlaps, then things are in trouble. The overlapping part is either that everything in the real world is sucked into the subspace, or that the subspace things come to the real world, no matter what kind of people are around Absolutely devastating disaster.

  Because no matter what kind of situation occurs, it will cause the space to tear, and even more because the space material is pulled away, and the space collapses, and then evolves into a black hole. There is a similar precedent in the Earth Federation. Although the accident was remedied in time, it still caused the planet to be swallowed by a small black hole formed by a fissure in space. One third of the star body was fortunately only a resource star. If people live, casualties can be ignored.

  If the Dibia Mountains in front of Leo overlap with the Black Forest Wonderland now, Leo will absolutely not do anything, and will ignore the previous promise, and directly turn around as far as possible from here.

Although the web weavers said that the current situation is only spatial overlap, not spatial overlap, Leo cannot fully believe the words of the web weavers, because the difference in knowledge cognition will cause some misunderstandings, and it may be the space that the web weavers say. Coincidence is the spatial overlap in Leo's cognition.

So in order to avoid mistakes, Leo left the camp and used the Earth Federation’s detection method to detect the current state of the space. Finally, from some clues found, he inferred the real situation of the current space, and this situation There is some difference from the spatial coincidence in his cognition, but it is not much different.

  According to Leo’s understanding, the coincidence of space is just the coincidence of the projections of the two spaces. In fact, the matter of the two spaces does not coincide, just like the mirage of space. In this way, all objects in the area where the space coincides will be trapped in a certain space due to the distortion of the space, resulting in everything that is seen or touched may not actually exist, and the true and false can no longer be judged by the body’s senses, and This peculiar phenomenon will affect all objects.

But what makes Leo feel weird now is that this peculiar phenomenon after the coincidence of space does not act on the mountain body of the Dibia Mountains, but only on the animals, plants and other living bodies on the surface of the mountain, thus making Leo couldn't see any traces of biological existence.

  In this situation, Leo does not have any reference materials in his mind, and he is not a biochemical person in scientific research. Even if the brain's computing and memory ability is no matter how powerful, it cannot be analyzed.

  Now, the only thing that Leo is sure about is that there is no danger in the coincident environment itself. The real danger lies in those hidden on the other side of the coincident space.

Because the situation where the space coincides is completely different from the situation in the Giant Sequoia Forest before, Leo has been unable to see the figures of the Black Forest monsters and clan through the vision given by the cat potion, and can only wait for those Black Forest monsters and clan to completely Only after they appear in the world of Velen can they master their whereabouts.

   It's just that Leo is not worried that the Black Forest monsters and family members can appear directly in the camp, capture the ordinary people in the camp before he reacts, and then escape.

  Because he inferred that the Black Forest monsters and family members may no longer be able to walk through the two worlds as easily as in the giant redwood forest. They can lift the virtual and real state very close to the camp and enter the Velon world to hunt prey. Similarly, it should be impossible for them to enter the other space together with their prey without knowing it after catching their prey.

The reason Leo made this guess is entirely because of the changes in the spatial environment of this place. When the people and things in the Velon world are affected by this spatial coincidence phenomenon, the things in another space will also be affected by this spatial coincidence. And because of the problem of the degree of spatial stability, the sub-space state of the Black Forest Wonderland may be affected more strongly.

   In this fragile and chaotic space coincidence environment, any kind of space-changing behavior becomes extremely dangerous, and even a little carelessness may cause fatal consequences.

Perhaps in order to confirm the correctness of his speculation, Leo was behind a slightly hidden hill not far from the camp. Through the imitation of the power of the nightmare, he temporarily turned his body into a kind of black forest he had killed. The state of the dependent family is unknown, and in this state, he sees the appearance on the other side of the coincidence space, and is forced to release this imitation state at a glance.

Leo did not know whether the scene he saw was part of the Black Forest Wonderland, but he could be sure that the environment on that side was very bad. A large amount of unidentified energy turbulent there formed an energy storm there, attacking everything that was trying to come close. object.

   Fortunately, Leo only imitated the special state of the unknown family in the Black Forest through the power of nightmare, and did not really enter another Asian

In the space, no matter how strong the energy storm there is, it will not affect him, so that he can calmly retreat.

Judging from this situation, the Black Forest monsters and family members must not be able to directly appear in this area of ​​spatial overlap, they can only be in the Giant Sequoia Forest, which is no longer in the area of ​​overlapping areas, out of that special space. State, completely entered the Velon world, and then gradually approached the camp like the beasts of the Velon world, hunting prey.

For Leo, the Black Forest monsters and family members who are out of the virtual and real state of space are not terrible. He is fully capable of killing them before they threaten the ordinary people of the escaping team, so now the environment where the space coincides is against him. favorable.

As Leo conjectured, until the early morning of the next day, no Black Forest monsters and tribes appeared around the camp of the escaping team, and Leo only saw the team in the distance at night by just using his vision. The tree-like black forest clan appeared.

  It was only that after the family found Leo's approach, they immediately escaped to the edge of the mountain where there was no space coincidence. Until they escaped from the area where the space coincided, they re-entered the subspace of the Black Forest Wonderland, which just confirmed Leo's daytime speculation.

  However, although there were no Black Forest monsters and family members attacking this night, a large number of people disappeared in the camp.

At dawn, the hunters who guarded the camp went to each tent one by one to wake up the rest there, so that they had enough time to organize their suitcases, but these hunters soon discovered that there were more than a dozen tents empty, nearly One hundred people disappeared and their luggage and all other items were kept intact in the tent.

This incident quickly spread in the camp, causing a lot of commotion. The morale that had been restored after a half-day and one night rest was lowered by this incident. Everyone was sincere and fearful, and they were afraid to continue on their own. It was the next missing person, so there was also a sound of going back in the crowd.

And it’s not just the fugitives who want to go back, but even some hunters are frightened by the strange situation in front of them, and connect these things with the legends about the Dibia Mountains, even Barak’s past Prestige can't suppress the uneasiness in their hearts, so when someone proposed to go back, these scared hunters also echoed.

  Like yesterday, Barak also called everyone to make a mobilization speech, and also persuaded those who gave birth to look back to continue. However, compared with the effect of yesterday and previous speeches, this time the effect is very general, and it can even be said to be bad. Not only did they not persuade those who have thoughts of looking back, but also let some people who were still swaying also make The decision to look back.

   However, what made Barak a little relieved was that the dignitaries did not intend to look back, and still decided to cross the Dibia Mountains, which saved him a lot of persuasion.

Although these people who decided to turn back disrupted some of Barak’s plans, in the long run, it’s not a bad thing, because after the swinging people leave, the rest are all people who firmly cross the mountains, In the following journey, there will be no more things like this that shake the morale of the entire evacuation team.

After trying to understand the gains and losses, Barak did not retain nearly 500 people who were going to go back. He took some of the supplies and gave them to some hunters who also decided to go back, and selected a few who had enough prestige and ability to lead the team. people.

On the other side, although the number has been reduced by half, it has also become a lot easier for the escape team, because most of the people who decided to go back are older people, and the remaining decisions continue to cross the mountains. The people are mainly young and strong, which can make the following journey a lot easier.

Just when the evacuation team diverged because of the recurrence of a large number of missing persons and divided the team into two, everyone's attention was placed on the personnel arrangement, route selection, etc. after the team was separated, which caused the team The disappearance of the separated person is as if it has been forgotten. No one mentions it as if it had never happened.

   Leo, a bystander, quietly observed all the movements in the camp through the spiritual network in the distance. He was not interested in the separation of the evacuation team. What interested him was the attitude of these people towards the nearly 100 missing persons.

Except when the missing person was first discovered, there was a disturbance in the camp and the team was separated. After that, the people in the camp no longer showed any concern for these missing persons, even the relatives and friends of the Naxi missing person were also packing up. There were no unusual emotions when the tent was empty, and the expression on his face was as dull as if the missing person did not exist.

This situation makes people feel abnormal, but the problem is that Leo is not in the camp, especially those who disappeared inside and outside the tent found any little psionic fluctuations, so these people will be so indifferent to the disappearance of their companions. Basically You can ignore the effects of witchcraft.

But in the same way, Leo can also be sure that there is indeed power to affect their minds, so that they can’t help but ignore the missing people, because he also can’t help but want to forget the missing people, but his will is too strong, This emotion is simply not enough to shake his mind.

   It is a pity that even though Leo clearly felt that he was also affected by inexplicable power, he could not find out the source of this influence.

  In addition to discovering that the people in the camp were emotionally affected by unknown forces, Leo also found that the missing persons were all the people with the strongest psionic reactions without exception.

If it’s just one or two missing persons, it’s okay, but the problem is that the 97 people who are missing are all the most psionic responders among the more than 1,000 people. ~lightnovelpub.net~ Coincidentally explained. r/>

It's just that there are three people among these refugees who have the same psionic response, but they have not disappeared in their sleep. These three people are a family of three who have been given protection witchcraft by Leo, and let Leo What is interesting is that he feels that the body protection witchcraft left on the family of three has been consumed. Obviously, this family of three was also attacked last night. It was only because of his witchcraft that he did not cause this family of three. Become a missing person.

   "May be able to use this family of three as a breakthrough!" Leo immediately thought after discovering this. So he sneaked into the camp again, secretly applied some witchcraft like tracking on the family of three, and reinforced the body witchcraft on the three.

What makes Leo more surprised is that when he applied witchcraft to the family of three, the net weavers also saw that they not only did not stop Leo, but also showed no dissatisfied expression, but instead completed the Leo operation. Later, one of the web weavers made a gesture to the family of three, and Leo saw a silver-gray thread on his body through the spider tattoo.

  Obviously, the web weaver, like Leo, is also planning to use this family of three as a clue to find the mysterious disappearance.

After taking a break, the team preparing to go back and leave first, when these people disappeared in the giant sequoia forest in the distance, Leo could clearly feel that these people who walked back definitely had no possibility of going out of the forest again. The netizen also divided two people to follow this returning team, which seems to be to harvest the souls of these people.
