Chapter 276 Rune Experiment Log (Page 12)
The two corpses mined together at extremely fast speeds.
The earth wall, which was only a dozen feet thick, could be easily dug open like cotton, revealing the inner space.
"It doesn't look like it was buried in the mountain." Li Qi controlled the corpse and walked in, muttering in his heart: "There are no traces of artificial excavation outside, and there are no traces up and down. It's like it appeared here out of thin air."
There is only one possibility.
Space magic technology.
The room was inserted into the mountain in an unreasonable and abrupt way, just like Li Qi used tombstones to drag the crypt of Lintawan to the porcupine collar.
Perhaps it took too long, or other reasons caused the space to break, and the mining slaves would encounter the ghosts who escaped here.
This is a research room, empty, with only a small bed and a lonely bookshelf.
There was only half of the bed, and the other half was missing. It looked like the undead dragon that was cut in half after the necromancer Ayame's magic was interrupted, causing the space door to close.
"It seems that not all of this laboratory has been dragged into the mountains." Li Qi secretly guessed: "The other half may have wandered to other dimensions."
It was unclear why this research laboratory appeared here, but he probably understood the reason why the ghost appeared.
The space buried by time and mountains was damaged by mining, and the things inside were revealed, including these ghosts.
A ghost emerges from a lone book on the shelf.
Before Li Qi could remind him, the water fairy had already crushed the ghost.
"Wait a minute," Li Qi quickly stopped, not knowing what was going on.
Last time he found a similar magic circle in the underground city tower in the Cape Crypt.
"Do ghosts have to exist in this way? Do they have to stay in the magic circle?"
"There are many ghosts inside." The Water Fairy controlled the ghoul and pointed at the book.
"Is it dangerous?"
"no"
He was just about to let the water fairy go in to explore the way, when the book suddenly made a "stab" sound and the cover was torn off.
Then countless ghosts poured out crazily.
Li Qi's vision was filled with faint white shadows.
In a few breaths, the ghosts filled the entire small room, and some were forced to "pass through the mold" and be squeezed into the earth wall.
"Did the seal break?" he guessed.
It looks more and more like the ghost in the underground castle, or do ghosts have to live in the magic circle?
These ghosts look similar to those encountered outside. They have strange shapes, and many of them look very unreasonable, as if they were forcibly fabricated and pieced together.
A body with a man's head, a woman's head, and a child's head looks weird no matter how you look at it.
A happy family?
With Li Qi's instructions just now, the Water Fairy didn't rush to kill the ghost. She controlled the corpse and stood aside, waiting for Li Qi to study.
The state of these ghosts is also very strange. They are not aggressive, and they do not have high intelligence. They float aside sluggishly.
Li Qi walked straight forward, "overlapping" with a bearded ghost in front of him, and then passed through.
It's not that he wanted to do this, but this narrow space was crowded with ghosts. Fortunately, the ghosts did not collide physically, otherwise the mine would have collapsed.
But the moment he passed through it, he clearly felt something was wrong, and his head felt a little itchy, as if something wanted to get in.
If you are indecisive, use shock to resolve it.
Li Qi threw the shock on the ghost that overlapped with his. The ghost's body instantly shattered and disappeared. He even drove away the ghosts around him, leaving a large open space.
It also saves him from continuing to have negative distance contact with the ghosts.
The itching feeling in the brain disappears.
Walking to the bookshelf, Li Qi picked up the book.
Text can still be seen on the torn cover.
"Rune Experiment Record"
Li Qi suddenly remembered the first notebook he got from a necromantic scholar.
"Is this an experiment diary?"
Knowledge is one of the best treasures in this world.
Rare objects are more precious than treasures.
There are ways to obtain the above two things, but a lot of knowledge has been buried in the long river of history, disappeared for various reasons, and has no chance to reappear in the world.
[Rune experiment record (1), twelve experimental bodies were selected, six men and women each, and the control group was divided according to age. 】
"Controlled experiment?" Li Qi frowned slightly. The experimental body was a human being, which was not a good feeling.
[Strength runes were engraved on the skin of the body. Two groups of young women were tested. The runes significantly increased strength, but seemed to have a strong erosion on the spirit. The group without runes did not have any changes, but was very scared, which is a normal reaction. . 】
Below is a timetable that records in detail the eating and resting times of the women in the control group, including excretion, etc., as well as other abnormal conditions.
Turn to the next page.
[The first group died]
[...the second group of deaths]
【……die】
[All deaths in the control group]
[Summary: Runes are powerfully corrosive to the spirit. The specific symptoms of death are extreme panic, cardiac arrest, and mouth wide open. It can imprison the soul and use it as material. 】
"Soul detention? That means you won't let go after death." Li Qi looked at the ghosts floating around. The reason why they became ghosts was probably because of the experimenter's magic.
[Rune experiment record (2), upper limit test of strength, six experimental bodies were selected, and the control group was divided according to age. 】
[Select the first group to sew fourteen arms and engrave power runes, and the control group only engrave runes]
Li Qi's brows frowned more and more, and he began to understand the experience of the guy holding him in the dozens of arms outside. I am afraid he is one of the experimental bodies in this set of experiments.
The results are also self-evident.
[Even if power runes are carved on each arm, the strength does not increase significantly, but the spirit is corroded significantly faster. It cannot be ruled out that suturing the limbs affects the spirit]
【...all died】
[Conclusion: There are too many influencing factors, so no reference is made]
Wow, turn the page.
[Rune experiment record (3), additional rune upper limit test...]
[The first group depicts two power runes, and the control group depicts a set of power runes. 】
[The first group’s spirit was obviously corroded at a significantly faster rate...]
【die……】
[Conclusion: The speed at which the spirit is corroded is affected by the number of runes, and runes cannot be used in combination]
"Rune, power rune, are they a way to give extraordinary power to ordinary humans? Can a corpse be carved without its own consciousness?"
Even explicitly speaking, wights do not have souls, but wights have spiritual powers.
Soul and spiritual power are difficult things to explain.
"If I portray and manipulate it, will my spiritual power be corroded?"
Li Qi thought carefully in his mind: "If the corpses are used as the control console to bear the corrosion, and then I issue simple commands to control the corpses like in RTS games, will I be able to obtain a batch of rune armies that are inherently immortal?"
