Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"The whole world has become the tomb of the world's people, and the shadows are the ashes in the cemetery." Master Lich said to Zhuang Xuteng: "The companies doing excavation work here, in my opinion, are just grave diggers and tomb robbers." "

Zhuang Xuteng's mouth opened in surprise. Shadow followers... No wonder shadow followers have many similarities with resentment. It turns out that shadow followers are a by-product of death, which is a kind of undead phenomenon. The effects of shadows on the body and mind, the so-called side effects of shadows, are the effects of necromancy on people. In this way, many things can be understood.

Transferring damage to others has always been the Necromancer's main means of healing himself, and the dormant martial art takes a similar path. However, Master Famine Stranger and Brother Ge Gongdao can only transfer damage to mice or protein insects through surface contact. Zhuang Xuteng has learned necromancy, and the Wraith Tentacles have extended the scope of dormant martial arts. Only then can there be a gap. The ability to deflect damage.

"No wonder you asked me to use your palms to absorb the energy of the shadow slave when you first possessed it. It turned out that you used it as the power of necromancy... I really thought I had picked up a top-level intelligent and active shadow slave that could talk. In my mind I have been thinking about how much I can sell you for all day long, and whether I can receive it alive and want to use the money. You are not a shadow follower, but your necromancy magic allows you to show the characteristics of a shadow follower."

The Lich Master nodded and admitted: "After my body was blown up, the rules of your world began to corrode me. I have necromancy here, and there is no concept of the divine world, judgment, and the destination of the soul. These None of them are suitable for me to exist in a state of pure spiritual body and soul body. So I had to combine with the remaining fragments and disguise myself as a shadow follower to avoid dissolution."

"At that time, I planned to seize or live in someone, but none of the people who came were suitable for me to live in - Zhuang Xuteng, do you guess why?"

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and decided that he should think from the perspective of "coming people" rather than "people". After a while, he slapped his head and said: "I'm so stupid! You said that you were discovered by the company as a living shadow, so the person who found you was probably the company. You came out of the shadow world passage, and the shadow world passage was all in the company Under their control, the explosion will definitely be known to them, so the person who finds you is the company’s researcher.”

The Lich Master nodded, indicating that he was right so far, what next?

"Everyone in the company who works in the shadow world has a common characteristic: a high proportion of shadow slave implants and shadow slave devices are used, and the accumulation of shadow slave side effects is very large. The side effects are equivalent to the resentment of the undead, so I It is speculated that these people show the characteristics of dead corpses in necromancy. Dead corpses are definitely not the inhabitant you need - you need a living body."

"Yes, very good." After Master Lich saw Zhuang Xuteng's true magic learning ability, his affection naturally made him encourage and praise him more. "I need a young, energetic body, and a physique that can carry necromancy. Unfortunately, in this world, almost all the people who can carry shadow followers are in the company, and shadow followers that are close to their maximum carrying capacity have been installed. Parts. You kind of slipped through the cracks—how did you not get discovered by the company?"

Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands and said: "You have to go to the company and ask about this. When I was in school, my grades were very poor. I failed every written test. I was only slightly better in physical education, but I could only compare with my classmates who had not been strengthened. I I felt that taking the shadowing ability test was the best opportunity for me to stand out. I made all preparations and attached great importance to the test, but after three rounds of tests, I only received a failing grade."

"But you later also learned how to use shadow followers, and your ability to withstand the use of shadow followers is also quite good..."

"I'm not sure, but I can think of an explanation: You possessed me and changed my physique. Mentally, I have become smarter and can remember and read text content correctly; physically, I can carry With necromancy, you also have the ability to cast shadow magic."

The Lich Master did not agree with Zhuang Xuteng's explanation, because before possessing him, he could see that Zhuang Xuteng's physical fitness was excellent and his shadow follower's physical fitness was excellent, far exceeding that of the others present. If he wasn't particularly outstanding, the Lich Master wouldn't have chosen a man with a broken spine and was on the verge of death to possess him. He hung up Zhuang Xuteng's life and treated his injuries, all of which cost mana. And his mana at that time was quite tight and precious. If he hadn't taken a fancy to Zhuang Xuteng's potential and upper limit, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk.

Forget it, let’s not go into details anymore, I’ve made a profit anyway – Master Lich thought to himself. Didn't Zhuang Xuteng, the company's fish that slipped through the net, fall into his own net in the end?

Zhuang Xuteng is very satisfied with his current situation. If he had not met the Lich Master, he would definitely not be alive now. Helping the Lich Master return home and finding his remains is what he should do. At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng did not underestimate himself. He was able to make a name for himself in the mercenary industry. In addition to relying on Ge Gongdao to lead him in, most of it was due to his own efforts.

Previous efforts have led to current achievements. How can an ordinary person have the opportunity to stand on a mountain ridge and overlook the company's mining camp, and it is still in the film world? Zhuang Xuteng suddenly remembered something: "Master Lich, how many mining bases are there like this company? How many shadow realm passages are there?"

"I don't know either. Although I can teleport, I can't observe all corners of the world at the same time. If my old friends are still there, with the help of the network formed by the Mage Tower, I still have a chance to give it a try."

"Oh...Master, if you cast a spell, can you blast that camp into the sky?"

Master Lich shook his head and said: "That's too difficult. Not to mention me, even Dacha Bill can't do it here - he is a mage who is proficient in elemental energy and has turned explosions into an art. However, , another way, it is not difficult to kill all the people inside."

"How to do it?" Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands and expressed that he wanted to learn.

"Concentrate the surrounding undead power to the entrance of the shadow world passage, covering it like clouds. Then let the resentful spirits attack, cut off all their protective clothing, and break the seal of the house. They will die if they stay and pass through the concentrated undead power. The fog will also die."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said: "I understand half of it. It is necessary to destroy the sealing protection and poison with undead. However, if the protective clothing is broken, they will not die immediately. Hold your breath, or wrap it up temporarily, and use If you rush into the passage as fast as you can, you still have a chance to survive, right?"

"The undead fog formed by resentment is a thousand times more lethal than the local environment. If they rush forward, even if they enter the shadow realm channel, only the shadow slave implants will be left when they get there."

"Then why don't you just cover the camp with the undead fog?"

"Because environmental isolation clothing can block it." Master Lich said.

"So that means it's really possible to dress thickly enough and escape?"

The Lich Master found it annoying that Zhuang Xuteng was so serious here, but Zhuang Xuteng's words did make sense. "As long as there are people who survive this disaster, they can pass on the information so that they can come up with targeted precautions next time."

"You have said it many times: either don't do it, or do it absolutely." Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said, "But your method doesn't seem to be enough to 'do it absolutely'. If you can fill in the loopholes, Enough."

After listening to Zhuang Xuteng's words, Master Lich didn't say anything because he felt the same way. There are many ways to kill people, but the main reason is that there are very few ways to prevent people from escaping. The key lies in the company's enhanced men, who are all thick-skinned, extremely fast, and extremely capable of breaking through obstacles. Even if they summon an iron wall to stand in front of them, they can break through it with just one or two punches. This is too perverted. .

Existing spells have never been designed for this kind of enemy, and the Lich Master is always thinking about how to improve his spells. Once he's done improving, of course he'll start cleaning up these gravedigger bastards, and then take revenge on the entire world.

Looking at Zhuang Xuteng who was still watching the situation in the camp with great interest, the Lich Master made a slight modification to his plan: when he destroyed the world, he would not kill Zhuang Xuteng, but let him take one person away, and even tell him how to become a god. he. Although it is no longer possible for gods to appear in his world, and there should be no gods in Zhuang Xuteng's world, there may be room in other worlds, so Zhuang Xuteng can hope to live forever. If he didn't have that kind of fate and died early, it would be his own bad luck, and it couldn't be considered "my" problem. "My" disciples should all have the ability to live forever.

The Lich Master has every reason to destroy the world. He thinks this is natural and the only thing he wants to do at the moment. He didn't tell a single lie about how his world ended and everyone died, but he did hide something.

When the ascended gods passed through the world of the Lich Master, two gods felt that they were unable to continue, so they chose to pause and come to this world to absorb faith. These two gods may think that the world they pass through respects the gods and is a very easy place to obtain "supplies", but the Lich Master and his gang have nothing to do with the conjecture of the gods.

The powerful mages immediately set up a plan through the thinking network, coaxing and studying the gods at the same time. The two gods received a warm welcome, and their inflated sense of self was satisfied. They talked about the beauty of ascension while using "leading people to ascend" as bait, hoping to quickly gain followers.

The message "Everyone can ascend" was spoken by two gods. They concocted an entire theory and provided false evidence to support it in order for the Lich Master's peers to believe it. The archmages conducted detailed research on the gods and confirmed the feasibility of ascension technology through experiments. However, the gap between ascension and overall ascension cannot be tested in advance, so when disaster strikes, it is impossible to prevent it.

Everyone died, even those who had ascended, were dragged back by this force and turned into scum. Every dead god has great resentment against Zhuang Xuteng's world. The resentment penetrates the barrier between the worlds and forms the shadow realm channel. Every living being who died in vain was attracted by the resentment of the gods and gathered around them, forming a shadow mine. And these mines are all in low-lying areas, not because the water flows to the low-lying areas, but because the gods mostly smashed holes when they fell, causing these low-lying areas.

The Lich Master admitted that the Archmage made mistakes in his research on ascension, and the punishment would be the death of the entire world. But should two gods be punished for not providing the same false information?

Based on the observation that when the world was destroyed, the ascended gods were also pulled back, Master Lich believed that the same method should be used to completely destroy Zhuang Xuteng's world, pull those gods back, and kill them in one wave. If this method doesn't work, then think of the next one. At present, destroying the world is still the method that the Lich Master believes is most likely to succeed.

There is no need to tell Zhuang Xuteng about this in advance - it can be regarded as a little selfishness of the Lich Master.

"Oops!" Zhuang Xuteng suddenly clapped his palms and said, "No! Since the Shadow Clan is the undead effect of this world, then the harm caused by the Shadow Clan products to ordinary people...all those who use the Shadow Clan implant are... If you come into contact with necromancy without any precautions, the shadow energy will flow everywhere and spread its influence. By the way, there is also safety blue, which is also created by shadow technology. It also contains shadow magic and old magic. ingredients!”

Master Lich shook his head slowly and said: "The shadow follower technology is indeed a major invention in your world. It creatively found ways to use shadow followers. There were no shadow followers before the destruction of the world, and I have no understanding of it. I will It is compared to the resentment of the undead. This move is just for the convenience of understanding, not the truth. Moreover, your world has also found a way to alleviate the harm of shadow followers. Otherwise, where would your implant care shop come from? "

He slowly dispelled Zhuang Xuteng's vigilance, and at the same time he was careful not to do anything too obvious and arouse Zhuang Xuteng's vigilance. "You are also a user of necromancy. You should know that necromancy is not equal to poison. The human body itself has the ability to carry and self-recover. The problem is not with necromancy or shadows, but with the company's control of treatment technology. . Ordinary people cannot use the company’s advanced treatment technology at all.”

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and nodded: "It is indeed the company's problem. Those enhanced people use a large number of implants and slave equipment, but they are still active every day. Ordinary people are either completely suppressed by the enhanced people, or they can only use inferior implants. You have to use safety blue to soothe your body and mind. Safety blue is a deceptive thing. To put it bluntly, it is a spell of self-deception and satisfaction!"

Master Lich was very satisfied with Zhuang Xuteng's state of mind.

"Master Lich, my side of the world didn't know that the Shadow Realm had such a past, so it treated shadow slaves as mines. From my own interests, I also support the use of shadow slaves. Shadow slave technology has built me In this world, shadow is not the root of the problem, the root is the company. Unfair distribution, greedy plunder, inhumane control... these should be changed, but not the shadow technology system."

Master Lich turned to look at Zhuang Xuteng and said: "Just dig, it's nothing. It includes capturing ghosts as living shadow followers and cultivating and strengthening people. It's nothing. Use the dead to continue to play a role. The Necromancer appears to be quite right.”

"You have no objection?"

Master Lich shook his head and said: "No objection. I did not attack the company's mining camps everywhere, nor did I use spells to block the shadow realm passage. The conflict between me and the company mainly focused on the protective barrier, which is the Wall of Sighs. They If you want to enter my house, you definitely can’t, right?”

"That's right! Those who break into the house are robbers and should be beaten!" Zhuang Xuteng said, "Can I see the Wall of Sighs?"
