Chapter 1090 Screams, dark shadows, and rancid smell
A sudden death not only interrupted the exploration plan of Li Ge and his party, but also caused a considerable psychological shadow on the girls.
It would be fine if they died in an ordinary way, but the way the girls died was really miserable and extremely painful. Therefore, Li Ge did not blame the girls, but instead tried his best to comfort them.
After the girls calmed down, Li Ge said something tentatively.
"Why don't you just stay here and I'll go to the back hall alone."
As soon as these words came out, the girls reacted immediately.
"We're fine, sir."
Melo was still the first to speak out.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she told Li Ge this.
"That rain is weird and may not be what it seems."
This seems like nonsense.
Although the rainwater seemed ordinary and nothing strange at all, since Mero, Nayisa, Berluti and others all died in front of him without stopping, even [Dia Forte] Rattle] can't save him, no matter how stupid Lige is, he understands that there is a big problem with the rainwater.
After encountering the rain, not only the girls' bodies and bones were completely dissolved, but also the weapons, equipment, props and items were all dissolved.
You must know that with the status of Mero and others, the quality of the weapons, equipment and props they carry with them is not low, especially some of the precious secret treasures that they used to explode their strength beyond the current level. There is certainly no way to cause damage to these things by ordinary means.
As a result, under the seemingly ordinary rain, all these things melted without exception, which is simply unbelievable.
In addition, the girls were also cast with various kinds of magic by Li Ge.
Some of these magics can resist various abnormal conditions, some can neutralize various negative forces, and some can enhance one's own resistance, combat ability, protection ability and other abilities. Both physical defense and magic defense have been greatly improved.
What then?
Even though they had so much magical protection, the girls were still completely dissolved in just two or three seconds, leaving no bones left.
Not only did Li Ge fail to stop this process, he even failed to discover anything weird in this process.
In his transparent world, the rainwater was just ordinary rainwater, and there was no abnormality in the bodies of the girls.
Everything seemed extremely normal, nothing strange or weird.
However, under such a situation, the girls' bodies began to dissolve without warning, and their equipment and items were wiped out, without even the slightest trace remaining.
Isn't this enough to explain the strangeness and horror of those rains?
However, it seems that the girls are not just talking about the rain.
"Before anything abnormal happened, I seemed to be in an illusion."
Mello seemed to be recalling what happened at that time, and his expression looked a little uncomfortable.
"Me too!"
"I-I saw hallucinations too!"
Nayisa and Belluti also hurriedly spoke up and revealed the matter.
"Illusion?" Li Ge was slightly startled, frowned, and asked seriously: "What did you see?"
The answer to this question is not consistent.
"...I saw myself falling into a swamp. My body sank into the swamp little by little, and then my body began to feel severe pain. By the time I reacted, my body had already changed into that state. ”
Mero pursed his lips and told Li Ge what he saw.
"What I saw were the abyss believers who had fought and even conquered in the past." Nayisha held a cup of hot black tea and said bitterly: "I saw myself surrounded by them, and they attacked me with ferocious faces. "I was hit by the overwhelming attack before I even had time to react, and then my body began to feel severe pain. After I reacted, it became like that."
Hearing this, Li Ge frowned deeper and deeper. He turned his head without saying a word and looked at Belluti at the end.
Facing Li Ge's gaze, Belluti lowered her eyes slightly, and spoke in a low voice after a while.
"I saw myself being put on the execution block by people I had saved in the past."
"They held up torches and cursed loudly, saying that I was not a saint, but a witch who harmed people."
"Then...I got turned on by them."
Burning!
This word flashed through Li Ge's mind, and then he fell into silence.
He had a vague feeling that what the girls experienced was not a fantasy or hallucination.
At least, not entirely.
What they saw may not be real, but the death process they experienced was undoubtedly real.
When they see themselves in danger and have the impression of "death" in their minds, this impression will change from illusion to reality, visit them, and make them die miserably.
"What else did you see?"
Li Ge wanted to get more information, so he asked the girls carefully.
The girls seemed to want to help. Even though their faces looked ugly, they still tried hard to recall what they had seen.
Immediately, the girls made some uncertain noises.
"What screams did I hear just before I was swallowed by the swamp?"
Melo frowned beautifully, his words full of uncertainty.
"I seemed to see a black shadow, right behind the abyss believers who attacked me."
Nayisa gave different information, the only thing that was the same was her uncertain tone.
"Is that so?" Belluti said doubtfully and at a loss, "Why do I feel like I smell something rotten in the fire?"
The discoveries and feelings of the three people were completely different. Not only did they not solve Li Ge's puzzles, but they also seemed to add more mysteries.
Screams... dark shadows... putrid smell...
Li Ge was silent for a while, then stood up.
"You guys stay here and have a good rest. Leave the outside to me for now."
As soon as Li Ge finished speaking, the girls quickly stood up.
"Wait a moment!"
"We're going too!"
"Your Mightiness……!"
Melo, Nayisa, and Belluti naturally did not want to see Li Ge take risks alone.
But as soon as they stood up, their bodies began to shake. Bei Luti, who was the weakest, almost fell to the ground. It was Li Ge who stretched out his hand to support her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"You have just been resurrected. Now your body is extremely lacking in vitality and extremely weak. Even if you want to go with me, you can't do it."
Li Ge helped Belluti sit down and said to the girls.
"Besides, the situation is not very clear yet. I suspect that you will die in the rain, not because there is anything weird about the shower, but because something uses the rain as a medium to activate the ability to kill people."
"This ability is almost impossible to avoid. Once it is attacked, it cannot change the outcome of death. The only way to effectively deal with it is to not come into contact with the medium that activates the ability."
"But no one can be sure that rain is the only medium through which that ability can be activated. What if there are other mediums?"
Li Ge analyzed it calmly.
"So, let me explore the path first."
Hearing this, the girls seemed a little reluctant. Belluti had even silently chanted magic to heal her weak body.
It's a pity that Li Ge didn't give Belluti time.
"Anyway, you stay here first and wait until I collect some information."
Li Ge said these words in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"I will come back to you after you have recovered some strength."
With these words, Li Ge turned and left.
Melo, Nayisa, and Belluti were unable to say anything to save them, and could only watch Li Ge leave, falling into a long silence.
"As a result, we are still lagging behind."
The words Nayisa murmured made Mello lower his head.
No matter when they arrived in this black land last time or when they explored the Great Holy Palace this time, they seemed to have no choice but to hide in this so-called refuge and wait for Li Ge to come back.
Obviously... they are here to help.
"well……"
Belluti sighed, but she was not as frustrated as Mello and Nayisa.
She knew very well from the beginning that coming with Li Ge this time would definitely drag her down.
After all, she was the only one without the ability to fight among all the people present.
Even the healing and recovery abilities that he was proud of seemed to be inferior to Li Ge's appearance.
Therefore, Belluti has already prepared her mind in this regard and will not feel frustrated.
She is very clear about her purpose and position, and therefore becomes the fastest among the three to accept the current situation.
but……
"Resurrection...?"
There was a strange emotion in Belluti's eyes.
She had no idea that Li Ge had the ability to resurrect others.
"The magic of resurrection..."
"If I can learn it, can I save more people?"
"That way, when the door to the abyss is closed, I won't..."
Thinking of this, the strangeness in Bei Luti's eyes turned into some kind of hope.
…………
"Crash..."
In the vast square, the rain is still falling, and there is no trace of the horror that can make people instantly turn into nothingness.
Li Ge, who had left the front hall where the refuge was, stood in the square, staring at the rain with his shining transparent eyes.
"It's still the same as before, nothing was found."
After peeking like this for several minutes, Li Ge had to admit this reality.
So, he turned his eyes and looked to the other side of the rain.
There, the nave of the Great Holy Palace was also bathed in the pattering rain, exuding an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes of life.
Li Ge stood there for a while, and then took steps towards the direction of the central hall.
