Yang Tangtang has figured out what type of formation is left in the basement.

They seem to have different patterns, but in fact, they all belong to the same category from a functional point of view.

That is to communicate with the dead to summon the dead by praying to the god of death.

According to legend, as long as the person performing the ceremony has a certain level of strength, he can even entrust the soul of the deceased in another person's body through the invocation ceremony, so as to achieve the effect of resurrection.

Although Yang Tangtang is not considered a master, he has some research on curses and formations.

Through the traces left at the scene, she can determine that the person the captain wants to resurrect is his parents.

It's just that something went wrong with the ceremony, instead of summoning his parents, he made a bunch of messy things from the god of death.

Like spirits, devils, curses, and other spirits of the dead.

And every God Paradise player must sign a purchase notice in advance when purchasing and learning the resurrection ceremony.

The notice will inform the player that using the resurrection ritual multiple times will have an irreversible impact on the human body.Even if time goes back, it is impossible to completely remove the influence.

Those who perform the ritual may die, age rapidly, become lunatics, or mutate into monsters.

Jiang Ying was still debating whether to use the newly awakened skills to reverse the time on the captain so that he could regain his sanity and communicate normally.

Because I'm not sure about the captain's mind, exactly when the problem started.In addition, every time the time is turned back, Jiang Ying will feel very tired.He decided to wait and see first, and let Xiao Tang try first.

Hearing what Yang Tangtang said, Jiang Ying frowned slightly, and asked subconsciously, "Is it not possible to turn back time?"

Yang Tangtang nodded and shook his head again, "That's what the official announcement says, I don't know either."

Jiang Ying observed her expression, "Why did the authorities make such a fuss? Is there someone in the three camps or the peace council who can turn back time?"

Qin Huo turned his head slightly, and raised his hand to comfort Jiang Ying's lower back.

As far as he knows, there is no skill enhancement potion in the hands of the Future Alliance that can allow people to manipulate time.

In the entire transfer station, Xiao Ying should be the only person who has mastered these skills.

The answer Yang Tangtang gave was similar to what Qin Huo had in mind.

She was a little afraid of Qin Huo, lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and said in a low voice, "This should be just an exaggeration, so that players can better remember the danger of the ceremony."

Jiang Ying didn't say anything more.

He lowered his eyelids, a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Would the three camps already know that he has the ability to manipulate time?

Besides Qin Huo, Xia Shining and Su Xinrou also saw him controlling time.

Xia Shining is very loyal to her friends, she won't talk nonsense even if she is killed.

Su Xinrou is a very shrewd and sober female player. Not only will she not leak the secret, but she will also try her best to help Jiang Ying hide it.

Logically speaking, the three camps should have no way to know that he has this skill.

But it doesn't matter if they know it or not, anyway, Jiang Ying and the three major factions are already in a desperate situation, and they have been staring at them for a long time.

And with the current technological level of the three camps, even if they knew, they would not be able to stop Jiang Ying from manipulating time.

Whether the hole card is exposed or not has no effect on him.

After thinking about this point, Jiang Ying relaxed again, and raised her head to signal Yang Tangtang to continue talking.

The woman lowered her head, her voice became smaller, "No, no more."

Jiang Ying was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"There is no way to get rid of the side effects caused by the resurrection ceremony. I can only decide what the ceremony is. I can't help the captain return to normal, and I can't figure out what else he did during the ceremony..”

"Then what's going on with the corpses all over the room, you should know, right?"

"No, I don't know. I haven't figured out how the ghouls came about. It stands to reason that there is no reason for ghouls to appear in the resurrection ceremony."

Compared with the hatred for the captain Yang Xingzhou, and the appreciation for Little Hu's man Wen Huajiu, the seemingly cowardly Xiao Tang did not leave any special impression on Jiang Ying.

Before time went back, she made soy sauce all the way.In the second brush, she still had no sense of existence.

For Jiang Ying, this is a dispensable passer-by, and he is not even interested in ridiculing Yang Tangtang.

There was neither the urge to kill her nor the idea of inviting her into the team.

Jiang Ying simply drove the useless Yang Tangtang out of the room, closed the door, raised her hand to the forehead of the captain Yang Xingzhou, and was about to use the newly awakened skill on him - Time Manager.

During this period, Qin Huo tried to read Yang Xingzhou's memory, but failed.

According to his description, other people's memories are fragments or doors, while Yang Xingzhou's head is a mess of paste.

Although after he loses his mind, he will not prevent outsiders from spying on his memory.But outsiders couldn't see his past clearly from the paste.

Jiang Ying sighed, now he has no other choice.

If he wanted to know the secrets of the peace council, he could only try to turn back the time on Yang Xingzhou and try to get him back to normal to cooperate with the interrogation.

Seeing Yang Tangtang being pushed out, Wen Huajiu immediately turned around honestly, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes, he was very thieves.

Touching the man's warm skin with her fingertips, Jiang Ying slowly closed her eyes, and carefully manipulated the time using her skills as a time manager.

The familiar feeling reappeared, but this time it seemed slightly different.

Before he finished using his skills, Qin Huo's slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Xiao Ying, have your skills been upgraded?"

Jiang Ying opened her eyes, and the surrounding scene changed at some point.

They were still in the dimly lit basement, and there were still a bunch of screaming ghouls hanging from the roof.

It's just that in addition to the real scene, there are some hazy and illusory scenes here.

The two scenes are obviously overlapping, but through the difference of transparency and color light and shadow, people can distinguish the two very intuitively.

The illusory scene is not much different from reality.It's just that there are neither iron hooks nor corpses on the roof of the basement.

In the entire basement, Yang Xingzhou was the only one.

He cut his palm to bleed out, and drew a formation with his own blood.

After placing candles, puppets and other items needed for the resurrection ceremony on the edge of the formation, Yang Xingzhou knelt on the ground and began to pray.

God Paradise believers believe in the god of death. They speak human language most of the time, but they can speak a special language when holding special ceremonies.

Qin Huo couldn't understand what he was saying, and looked up at the illusory images around him.

The body of Yang Xingzhou was still tightly wrapped by his tail. He raised his hand and tried to touch the phantom of Yang Xingzhou not far away, but only touched the ghoul hanging nearby.

It's just that she doesn't know whether Jiang Ying is concretizing Yang Xingzhou's past memories.Or display what happened in the basement in the form of a projection.

Qin Huo has always felt that Jiang Ying's ability is a bit beyond the limit that the human body can bear.

When he was in the northern region, Jiang Ying also tried to teach him to manipulate time.

But Qin Huo worked so hard for a long time that he couldn't even feel the flow of time.

Why is it that Jiang Ying can learn his skills in one day, but he can't master Jiang Ying's special skills as a giant python transforming people.

Could it be that because he is not a baby python, his ability to learn and imitate has deteriorated?

Or……

Is Jiang Ying really not a giant python, but another unknown existence?

Qin Huo was about to discuss this issue with Xiao Ying, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Jiang Ying listening seriously.

Qin Huo was stunned, pressed Jiang Ying's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Ying, can you understand his prayer?"

Jiang Ying was also very surprised, "Can't you understand? In my ears, he speaks Mandarin."

The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw bewilderment in each other's eyes.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Only Jiang Ying could understand the words engraved on the old objects.

Jiang Ying made a summary, roughly described Yang Xingzhou's phantom to Qin Huo, and said something.

"The first half of him is praising the god of death, and the middle part is saying that he is full of respect and voluntarily sacrificed his soul and flesh and blood, just hoping to call back the souls of his parents so that they can be reunited in the world."

Before Yang Xingzhou finished speaking, Jiang Ying frowned after listening for a while.

He leaned close to Qin Huo's ear and whispered to him, "His last long sentence was a tribute. But he was not praising the god of death, but the great and eternal time and space lord.God."

Jiang Ying paused, and took out her pocket watch from her pocket, "The pocket watch says 'time and space travel', I'm not sure if I'm thinking too much, or these old objects with special abilities in my hand, actually originallyThey all belong to the Time Lords."

Qin Huo was even more at a loss than him, "Then why can you understand special characters?"

"I do not know."

"Are you the Time Lord?"

"Honestly, do you think I look like you?"

Qin Huo stopped talking.

He remembered that Jiang Ying had told him before that his parents were ordinary people.He has a photo album at home, where he can find all the photos of him from childhood to adulthood.

And when he first met, Qin Huo had peeped into his memory.Jiang Ying's memory is only a little chaotic and missing, but there are people of all ages, and the memory chain is relatively complete.

Looking at it this way, there should really be no relationship between Jiang Ying and the time-space lord.

While the two were communicating in low voices, Yang Xingzhou in the illusory scene had already completed the summoning ceremony.

The formation on the ground emits streaks of red light, and an illusory skull image gradually emerges above the formation.

The resurrection ceremony was very difficult, and Yang Xingzhou carried out every step carefully.

Jiang Ying felt that it was too slow to look at it like this, and it took the year of the monkey to see the point.

And it didn't help him understand the peace council.

The illusory scene in front of him began to advance rapidly, as if the accelerator key had been pressed.

Seeing that she successfully used the skill again, Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows in a little surprise.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but his control of time seems to be easier and more accurate than before.

Jiang Ying took a deep breath, raised her hand and tried to go back in time again, but the scene did not change.

The skill of time management should be used in many ways.

This time, he was half-guessed and accidentally recreated what happened in a specific time period in a certain scene, instead of directly spying on Yang Xingzhou's past.

Jiang Ying put down her hands helplessly, took out fried peanuts from her bosom, and handed them to Qin Huo.

The two of them looked at the illusory picture in front of them like watching a movie.

A few minutes later, Jiang Ying finally figured out why Yang Xingzhou became what he is now.

————

Ever since he was sent to this parallel world by the Peace Council to do missions, Yang Xingzhou learned that there was a 'curse and alienation' through his relationship in the council.

Its body is a building that can be changed at will - "Dreamer"

On the first floor of the Dreamer, there are a bunch of hidden doors.

Most of the doors are used by dreamers to confuse intruders.

If someone stands in front of the door when it opens, the door will try to lure people to look up into the door.

And the moment he saw the world behind the door, his soul was taken away and he died on the spot.

According to the clues held by God Paradise and the council, those false doors may have the ability to see the truth, or they may be able to spy on people's memories, or they may be able to create illusions.

The only thing Yang Xingzhou cared about was that according to the intelligence, there were three doors that could not be opened among the fake doors on the first floor.

Those three doors can lead to other time and space. In the world behind the door, there are one or more extremely powerful ancient god guards hidden.

Every ancient god guard is far more powerful than the evil gods they encountered in the dungeon.

They are cruel.Kill, there is no way to communicate.

But it is said that as long as you have enough flesh and blood of the No. 0 test subject, you can only guard the ancient gods around the dreamer in a short time.

In the illusory scene, Yang Xingzhou, who has completed the summoning ceremony, confides his inner desire to the two wooden dolls with his parents' photos on them.

He joined the Peace Council to avenge his parents.But more than ten years have passed, and the Peace Council has never intended to take action against the three camps.

Because of the long-term use of life souls to exchange with the god of death, the life span of God Paradise players is generally not high.

Even if he didn't die in the dungeon, he could live up to about sixty years old.

Yang Xingzhou was about to turn forty.

As he grew older, he, and other God Paradise players of his age, faced a problem.

If they can no longer pass the dungeon missions and obtain the special skills given by the system, it will be difficult for them to improve their strength.

What's more, Yang Xingzhou has already reached the SS level and missed the final golden period. It is even more difficult for him to improve his strength.

Yang Xingzhou knew that the Peace Council wanted to get rid of him because he had a secret.

No. 0 experimental body is not the work of the future alliance, he is a monster found by the alliance from the ancient ruins.

Originally, there were five camps in the transfer station. The government forces and rebel forces advocated sending the monsters away so as not to destroy world peace.

God Paradise, the Future Alliance, and the Society of Light, want to harness the power of this monster.So they set up a trap together and killed the main force of the two camps.

Without external resistance, the three camps began to arrest players with special skills.By injecting skill-enhancing potions into No. 0 test subject, they jointly cultivated him.

But later, the Future Alliance monopolized the No. 0 experimental body.And borrowed his gene, started the experiment of transforming the python, and successfully bred the python 7013.

Seeing that the strength of the three camps is getting stronger and stronger, the No. 0 test subject is also beginning to grow, but he is getting older and older, and the peace council he relies on has been slow to move.

Yang Xingzhou finally decided to take a risk.

He has no one to discuss with, so he can only talk about his own plans with the photos of his parents.

The members of the Alliance branch stationed in the dream house have the blood of the No. 0 test subject in their hands.

Yang Xingzhou wanted to steal the blood of No. 0, manipulate the guards of the ancient gods on the lower floor, and let them kill all the alliance members and the mirror-breaking experiment in the dream house.

Looking at the illusory scene in front of her and hearing Yang Xingzhou's hoarse voice, Jiang Ying froze in place as if her whole body was frozen.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Huo, not understanding what was going on for a while.

Yang Xingzhou talked with the photos in the spirit of sharing.He only said what he wanted to say, without explaining the cause and effect in detail.

Jiang Ying was skeptical about the secret he mentioned.

Leaving aside the fact that Yang Xingzhou's status and strength are simply not enough to get access to these secrets, only the top leaders of the faction can know.

Jiang Ying is very sure that her memory is intact, and Qin Huo can also see the picture of him as a baby.

I saw doctors and nurses sending him out of the delivery room, saw my mother hugging him and breastfeeding him, and saw my father making him happy with baby toys.

Qin Huo's mental power has already reached the SSS level, and he can be sure that there is no trace of mental attack left in Jiang Ying's brain.

With the current strength of the three camps, there is no way to use technological means to tamper with a person's memory.

The memory has not been modified by anyone. No matter how you look at it, Jiang Ying's life trajectory is no different from that of human beings.

Jiang Ying was still thinking about whether what Yang Xingzhou said was true or not.

Qin Huo, who had been silent all this time, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly: "I thought of a way, let's go to the lower floor later. You cut your finger and bleed a little, if the clay figurine soldiers behind the door can be controlled by you, it means that there is indeed a problem with your identity. I can be sure that the giant python does not have such a magical ability to transform human blood."

When Jiang Ying heard the words and turned her head to look, Qin Huo raised the corners of her lips and showed him a comforting smile.

With red ears, he raised his head proudly, "Xiao Ying, don't worry about trying it, I can handle the ancient god guard."

Before the words fell, Qin Huo seemed to suddenly think of something, the thin red on his face quickly faded, and his cheeks became bloodless pale again.

He leaned over and hugged Jiang Ying heavily, with such strength that he seemed to melt him into his body.

Jiang Ying quickly understood his mind, he sighed silently, and patted the man's back comfortingly.

At the same time, a soft, trembling voice sounded in his ear, "Believe me, Xiao Ying, I will never let anyone hurt you again."

Jiang Ying laughed unconsciously, "It's okay, I can be resurrected, I can't die."

His lover began to be selectively deaf again, and still hugged him tightly with his neck stuck, whispering something in his ear, 'I won't let you get hurt again.'

————

After talking to the photo, Yang Xingzhou completed the last step of the ceremony and began to wait for the souls of his parents to return to the underworld and live in the puppet he prepared.

It's a pity that his mastery of the resurrection ceremony is not mature.

From the perspective of a bystander, Jiang Ying clearly saw five wisps of black mist emerging from the formation.

Two of them got into the puppets, and the other three got into Yang Xingzhou who was bowing his head in prayer.

It was two evil spirits that got into the body of the puppet.After Yang Xingzhou disposed of the puppet, he began to sum up his experience and lessons.

He thought that the props might be inappropriate, so when he entered the basement again, he carried two dead bodies that had just been stolen from the hospital in his hand.

Not long after he died, the body was still warm.

This time the resurrection ceremony was still unsuccessful, on the contrary, several streaks of black energy entered Yang Xingzhou's body.

By observing the illusory images, Jiang Ying saw that Yang Xingzhou's eyes were getting redder and redder, and his mental state seemed to be deteriorating rapidly.

The props of the ritual change from puppets, to stolen corpses, to captured villainous criminals, to street bums.

As the number of failed rituals increased, Yang Xingzhou's state became more distorted.

He began to kill indiscriminately, from men, women, the elderly, children, babies and even pregnant women.

After being backlashed by the ritual, Yang Xingzhou seemed to have walked into a dead end.He firmly believed that he couldn't resurrect his parents because he hadn't found the right ritual props yet.

He kept trying, and he kept killing.Finally, he set his sights on the players from the three camps.

If a person with special abilities is sacrificed, will the parents be resurrected?

Jiang Ying, who was watching the whole process, had a strange thought in her mind.

He felt that Yang Xingzhou might not be the original Yang Xingzhou anymore, he was almost turned into a monster by the ceremony.

An SS-level player can't resist the negative effects of the resurrection ceremony.

Shenyuan knows how powerful the temptation is for human beings to resurrect relatives, friends and loved ones.Why do they still put the resurrection ceremony in the mall in the form of merchandise for all players of God Paradise to buy.

Jiang Ying didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking.

Looking at Yang Xingzhou who was gradually eroding his mind and becoming more and more cruel, he only felt that the top management of God Paradise was really cruel.

Jiang Ying was still thinking, but Qin Huo, who was standing beside him, suddenly noticed a strange feeling coming from his tail.

He turned his head and looked, Yang Xingzhou, who was tightly entwined by him, had stopped struggling at some point.

His body began to twitch, and blisters appeared on his skin.The blisters shrank and bulged repeatedly on his body, wriggling all over his body.

Then it exploded with a bang, splashing out yellow-green mucus.

The mucus splashed onto Qin Huo's scales. As if his hair had exploded, he threw Yang Xingzhou out of his tail, hugged Jiang Ying and dodged to the side to avoid the splashed liquid.

Jiang Ying was taken aback by his actions, and he didn't dare to move. He grabbed Qin Huo's arm and asked nervously, "Is the mucus on his body corrosive? Are you injured? Let me see your tail."

Qin Huo looked at Yang Xingzhou seriously, he shook his head and said coldly, "It's okay, I'm not hurt."

"Then why did you react so violently?"

"Because it's so dirty."

"..."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that, it's rude, but it's really dirty."

Jiang Ying: ...

Is the point being polite?When did you love cleanliness so much, I don't know why.
