The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After confirming that both the doctor and the killer had gone away through the psychic imprint, Leo walked to the door of the clinic. Although there were some refugees resting around who had just been treated, he didn't care about these people. He opened the door and walked to the clinic. Inside the clinic.

Although some people also wanted to stop Leo's movements, they didn't know whether their bodies were a little weak due to the illness, or they were afraid of Leo, who seemed to be not easy to mess with, so they all sat down again soon, or used Cover your head with a hood, or simply close your eyes and rest, as if you didn't see anything.

When Jeff Thompson left, he didn't lock the door. The reason why he was so relieved may be that the reputation of the medical team was enough to discourage some people, or it might be that there was nothing to steal in the clinic itself. All in all, in the past few months, no one has broken into the clinic without authorization. Even if someone needs emergency treatment, they will stay outside obediently and wait for the doctor to come back.

It's just that the doctors in the clinic don't really believe these refugees, but because even if it is locked, it may not be useful. It is better not to close the door, and use other methods to deal with those trespassers.

For example, in a few eye-catching positions in the outer reception room, a small amount of belongings and some commonly used medicinal materials are placed. If ordinary people get these things, most of them will stop and leave. If this still doesn't stop the intruders, the bloody scene deliberately arranged in the operating room at the back is believed to be able to dissuade a group of people. But some people still continued to go to the doctor's bedroom, so the crossbow mechanism in the bedroom would be enough to pose a fatal threat to intruders.

However, these are not the most dangerous organs in the clinic. The really dangerous organs are at the entrance to the basement. Even if the intruder finds the entrance to the basement, if he does not open the entrance according to the normal method, then the entrance linkage mechanism will cause the refined oil hanging on the roof of the basement and the roof of the clinic to ignite and fall, turning the entire clinic into a mess. A sea of ​​fire. At that time, the already very fragile support structure in the basement of the clinic will inevitably be unable to withstand the burning of the fire, causing collapse, thus burying all the secrets in the basement.

Although these arrangements are exquisite and can deal with ordinary intruders, they are not easy to use on psykers with spiritual nets like Leo. Leo easily found the key nodes of those organs, and used the low-level witchcraft of the mage's hand to destroy the organ nodes blocked in the basement, making the most dangerous organs in the clinic useless.

In the end, Leo came to the basement without any danger and stood beside the stagnant water in the basement.

Just like using the spirit net to perceive outside, Leo still couldn't perceive any living things in the water, but the moment he put his hand into the water, he immediately felt groups of foreign objects rushing toward his hand. Gather up.

Leo found the right time, and at the moment when those foreign objects were about to touch his palm, he pulled his hand out of the water, at the same time pinched a foreign object and carried it out of the water, put it in front of his eyes, used his spiritual vision skills, and carefully examined the suspected object. Alien of the psionic symbiote.

I saw that this foreign body was about the size of an earthworm, and looked very weak, but the opposite of its weak appearance was its danger. There is a strange mouth at both ends of the head and tail of this foreign body. This strange mouth is full of sharp teeth, and can be turned outwards, turning the sharp teeth into barbs to hook the skin of the prey.

Once a prey is bitten, the foreign object will continuously drill into the prey through this strange mouth, eating the prey completely from the inside out.

In addition, this foreign object has no intelligence, only the most primitive eating instinct, even if it is pinched by Leo, it has no movement to escape, but it keeps trying to bite the skin on Leo's fingers and get into Leo's body .

However, it was just such a foreign object that could be clamped with two fingers, but Leo felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy from it, obviously this could be regarded as a spiritual creature. However, what surprised him even more was that this psychic energy fluctuation actually resonated with his chaotic stomach sac, so that through this psychic resonance reaction, his spirit entered the fragile spiritual level of this foreign body, Further, using this foreign object as a springboard, he came into contact with this psionic symbiont that herded sheep in the water in the basement.

"Hungry, eat!" When Leo's spirit was connected with the spirit of the psychic symbiosis, a strong desire that made him somewhat uncontrollable instantly filled his spirit, making him want to eat The hunger impulse of all living things.

Although Leo's willpower was able to control the strong desire from the spirit, and cut off the spiritual connection with the psychic symbiosis in time, this strong desire to eat still remained in his body like an infectious disease. Spiritually, it had a certain impact on him.

"Soul pollution!" After carefully checking his own situation, Leo quickly found a statement that matched his own situation in his memory.

The saying of soul pollution is recorded in the wizard notes given to him by the expedition. The original source should be the ancient wizards. According to the explanation in the book, if a wizard rashly connects with a more powerful wizard or higher life , then the spirit of this wizard is likely to be influenced by a more powerful wizard. This kind of influence can be big or small. If it is big, you may become a slave of this powerful wizard, and you will surrender to it physically and mentally. If it is small, your personality will change, and your habits will also change. In the end, you may even have schizophrenia.

It's just that soul pollution is just a sorcerer's statement. In fact, a similar phenomenon is mentioned in some scriptures of the Orthodox Church of Vinlen, which is the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The pastors and believers of the Orthodox Church will take the initiative to let go of their spirits and get in touch with their gods, so that they can be inspired by the gods and become a holy spirit-like existence physically and mentally.

Although the sayings and practices of the two are different, in essence, both are the same, and both also have a common feature, that is, powerful high-level life forms have spiritual influences on low-level life forms.

But the problem is that the current situation of Leo's body is somewhat inconsistent with this characteristic. This psychic symbiosis itself does not have any wisdom. The level of energy is higher than this psychic symbiosis, and even the will and spirit are much stronger than the psychic symbiosis.

According to common sense, when he connects with the spirit of the psionic symbiosis, it should be his spirit that affects the psionic symbiosis. One of the prerequisites for energy network nodes.

However, the person affected by the spirit now is Leo, a more powerful and advanced life form. This abnormal phenomenon makes the original simple thing a lot more troublesome.

In addition to the abnormal phenomenon of mental influence, there is another problem that is also very abnormal. Based on the large amount of information Leo has seen in the Earth Federation, none of them show that as long as the psionic symbiosis starts the evolution path and produces symbiotic psionic energy, Then the wisdom of the psychic symbiosis will increase rapidly, becoming the most intelligent existence in the universe.

However, none of the materials mentioned that the psychic symbionts whose psychic level reached the third level did not have any intelligence themselves, only the survival instincts of some primitive creatures.

So Leo felt that he might be wrong. The foreign objects that were stocked in the basement water by the doctors of the medical school were probably not psychic symbiotes, but a species similar to psychic symbiotes, and they might even be artificial species. , and the primitive cells used may come from some kind of advanced organisms that have evolved to a certain degree, which can also explain why Leo is obviously stronger than these foreign bodies, but still affected by the mind.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately caught another foreign object from the stagnant water.

It's just that this time he didn't rashly connect with it mentally, but he didn't stop the psionic resonance effect produced by the chaotic stomach and foreign objects. Instead, he actively cooperated and amplified the resonance effect.

When this psychic resonance effect was amplified to form psychic fluctuations, which spread like electric waves and enveloped the entire basement, the group of foreign objects that were similar to psychic symbiosis immediately boiled up, gushing out from the bottom of the water one after another. , even the foreign objects on the second underground floor swam up and gathered in front of the stagnant water in front of Leo, and kept piling up.

Seeing a group of worms with sharp teeth and strange mouths appearing in piles and pieces in front of him, and continuously pouring out towards the water surface, no matter how determined Leo's will is, he would still feel a little nervous.

For this reason, while maintaining this resonance effect and waiting for the subsequent changes of these foreign objects, he made his free hand ready to cast the first-level witchcraft of the Burning Hand and the Igni Sign of the Demon Hunter at any time. The high-temperature flames produced by the spell are enough to instantly burn these foreign bodies to ashes.

It's just that the bad situation didn't happen. After the foreign bodies accumulated to a certain extent, they began to devour each other, and the overall number decreased rapidly, but the fluctuation of their spiritual energy did not weaken.

At the same time, the foreign object held by Leo's finger suddenly produced a powerful force, escaped from Leo's finger, fell into the water and participated in this feast of cannibalism together.

As the number of foreign objects in the stagnant water decreased rapidly, the turbulent water surface gradually calmed down. When all the abnormal fluctuations in the water stopped, the last foreign object was about the size of a python.

It's just that the feast of devouring didn't end, and the foreign body that had nothing to swallow began to devour itself. I saw the strange mouths at both ends of it were like petals, and split like a crocodile's mouth, biting each other, entangled with each other, and devoured continuously.

Finally, in this kind of autophagy, the foreign body turned into a spherical body, and the phagocytosis still did not end, and its size became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black gelatinous body the size of a fingernail, and it was different from Chaos. The third-level spiritual energy that resonated from the stomach sac also disappeared at this moment.

Although the mutation of the foreign body is over, the abnormal condition on Leo's body still persists, because when the black gelatinous object appeared, not only did the chaotic stomach sac produce a strong sense of hunger, but even the body on his body The blood also surged, like a sea tide.

"This is..." Leo used his strong will to suppress the abnormal reactions of his organs and blood, stepped forward, and picked up the black jelly from the water.

When his fingers touched the black jelly, not only the abnormal reaction of the chaotic stomach and blood increased by three points, even Gemini, who was still in the glove mode, automatically changed into the sacrificial knife mode. It seemed to be reminding Leo to sacrifice this jelly to the lord of turbidity and lightness.

At this moment, Leo was glad that his will was strong enough, otherwise, he would have already been affected by these abnormal reactions on and off his body.

"Is this the wreckage of an Omega-level advanced creature?" After suppressing all the abnormal reactions with willpower, Leo put the jelly in front of his eyes and scanned it with the mental net, but found no abnormality. signs of power.

After taking back the spirit net, Leo pondered for a moment, asked himself and answered: "No, it's not just the remains of an Omega-level advanced creature, I'm afraid this thing is higher."

In Leo's view, this is not the first time he has obtained the remains of an Omega-level advanced creature. The remains of those advanced creatures obtained in the past are not to mention the organs and blood on the body. Even the Gemini Sacrifice Knife has never produced such a thing. reaction, that's why he judged that the biological level of this jelly may have surpassed the general omega-level advanced organisms.

Although all life beings who have peeped into the mysteries of the universe and have a life level higher than level nine psykers are classified as Omega-level advanced creatures, in fact there is a huge gap in the strength and weakness of the Omega-level. Ga-level advanced creatures use galaxies as their basic psionic units, while most Omega-level high-level creatures still use planets as their psionic units.

Just like the master of turbidity and lightness should be this kind of galactic or even interstellar level Omega-level advanced creature, and the Omega-level advanced creature such as the golden giant deer and the mother of plants should still be based on the planet as a psionic unit.

Judging from the reaction of the twins, it is obvious that the source of this jelly is the lowest level of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness. If Leo really used the sacrificial knife to sacrifice it to the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, he would definitely be able to Get extraordinary benefits.

However, Leo did not intend to sacrifice it, nor did he intend to take it directly to let the chaotic stomach pouch and the unknown blood in his body absorb it, but put it in the storage space and store it temporarily, waiting to find out When it comes to the real source of this thing, then consider how to deal with it.

Although it is regrettable not to be able to obtain a real psionic symbiosis, a mysterious substance with an extraordinary origin is worth the trip. It's just that Leo is not going to leave, but is going to stay in the clinic and wait for the doctor responsible for feeding these foreign objects to come back, intending to get some clues about this foreign object from him. See if he still has such items in his hand, or if the medical school still has such items.
