Low Dimensional Game

Old Jock was tightly tied to the chair, his whole body kept shaking and exerting force, his hands and feet were worn to pieces by the rope, and he was still struggling, his eyes changed from red to dark red, and blood flowed down the eye sockets on his cheeks On top of that, the teeth gnashed continuously.

"Why... you have everything... a woman... a family... a child..."

"I... I have nothing... I, I have nothing... I don't want to... be a gravekeeper..."

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, eat you...I want to eat..."

Old Jock's eyes lost focus, and he was talking unconsciously. These words may have been hidden in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them because of his cowardice. At this moment, after the consciousness faded away, only memories remained and affected instincts.

Tucker bandaged the wound, pointed at Old Jock in horror and panic and said, "What's wrong with him? Is he crazy? What's going on here?"

Edward checked Old Jock's body, lifted up Old Jock's trouser legs, and immediately found that there were bite marks on his calf, where there was a row of clear teeth marks, and the surrounding area turned black and turned outward. Come on, it's pretty disgusting.

Edward didn't answer Tucker's question without looking back: "He's dead!"

Tucker pointed blankly at the old Joker who was still moving, and said to the drooling old Joker, "How is it possible, he...isn't he still alive?"

Edward shook his head: "This is just an illusion. He is dead. Although there is no problem on the surface, his body is in a strange state between death and life. His breathing and heartbeat can still be maintained, but it shouldn't be too late. Alive, I can feel that he is dead."

"Why is there such a strange situation? What kind of witchcraft is this? I have never heard of it or seen it before. Is it a new witchcraft?"

Edward was very puzzled. He was a student of the Wizarding Tower, the second-generation controller of the tower, and the official student of Boer, the founder of the blood wizard. In the tower, he had the largest library and knowledge base in the entire Maria world. , has the most comprehensive inheritance of witchcraft in the entire continent of Alan. He can't even see the origin and inheritance of this witchcraft. I'm afraid few people in the whole world can see it.

Edward grabbed Tucker's palm: "It's useless to bandage, the toxin has already spread into your body through the wound."

Tucker jumped up suddenly: "What?"

Looking at Edward with a pair of flustered eyes: "You... you mean... I was poisoned?"

Edward nodded and spread his hands: "Isn't this obvious?"

Tucker swallowed, and looked at Edward: "What will happen then?"

Edward pouted at Old Jock, and everyone immediately looked at Old Jock who had turned into a ghoul. Tucker immediately saw his Adam's apple tremble, and everyone could clearly hear the sound of swallowing. .

Tucker knelt down in front of Edward all of a sudden: "No, Mr. Edward, I don't want to become such a ghost, I don't want to become such a monster, please save me, save me, I will do whatever you want me to do." OK."

Edward frowned and looked at Old Jock: "Although I haven't figured out what kind of monster it is, but judging from the wound and what he said before, Old Jock was bitten about six or seven days ago. That means we're less than a week away."

"This kind of toxin should not be mainly aimed at living people. You can see that after the death of Old Jock, this toxin became more active and quickly spread to the whole body. There was nothing abnormal about Old Jock before. "

Tucker immediately said: "Then how did old Jock die!"

"Although it is not completely aimed at living people, it is highly poisonous, and it is still irresistible to ordinary people. I need to draw the blood of old Joker, and you also need to help me investigate some things, including sending the corpse here. The identity, place of death and various information, how many bodies have been missing..."

Edward just took advantage of this opportunity to use the city guards to serve him, and mobilized all their strength to serve his own requirements and arrangements. He has nothing to rely on in Babs City, and the Wizard Tower has nothing to do here. The foundation of power, the gathering point of wizards in the Kingdom of Mara is also very far away, so at present, it can only rely on itself.

In Edward's temporary residence at night, Edward used the wizard's experimental equipment to analyze the blood of Old Jock. Viruses are different from cells. For wizards, it is also a very novel subject that has recently begun to be discovered. It It is an organic species between living and non-living bodies that lives on parasites. It is neither living nor non-living.

Through the mechanism of infection, these simple organisms can use the host's cellular system to replicate themselves, but cannot grow and replicate independently. Viruses can infect almost all living organisms with cellular structures.

Edward could observe that Old Jock's blood was infected with a certain virus. Its infection mechanism only corresponds to the dead, and the spread speed is very fast. If the host is not dead, the infection mechanism will not be activated, but even if this This kind of infection mechanism, the toxin after being bitten invades the blood, and it is also easy to kill.

Moreover, the shape of this virus cell is actually somewhat close to the shape of a mythical cell, which allows Edward to conclude that the source of this virus must come from wizards, and there are not many wizards who can transplant extraordinary blood on the continent of Alan. See, most of them have records in the tower.

"Is that the person I met before?" Edward immediately thought of the two mysterious figures who were suspected to be wizards that he met during the day.

Edward has no way to kill this virus, but when it is not spreading, there is still a way to find a way to remove this virus from the living body. Edward is now sure that there are not one or two people in the entire city of Babs Or two or three people have already been infected with this virus. If I am not fast enough, I am afraid that the next thing I see will be that everyone in the city of Babs will turn into old Jock. monster.

Edward was very anxious, and conducted various experiments on the ghoul virus overnight, and finally found some targeted methods, and developed a medicine to clean up the virus from infected people who have not yet spread the virus.

This kind of highly concentrated work continued all night. Edward felt his head was a little dazed. He stood up, only to find that the test tube of the detoxification agent he had just prepared had been lifted from the long shelf on the table by a slender palm. Take it off.

"A very good job. A very talented wizard. It only took such a short time to develop the detoxification potion. Although it is still a bit rough, it is enough for use."

And Edward on the side was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how long this person had invaded his side. He didn't know how he died. Thinking of this, Edward suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back.

The moment Edward found the other party, he fell to the ground, slapped the ground with his palm, and saw that the stone bricks hewn from the stone immediately disintegrated like sand and recombined into stone guns, and fired at the other party. And go, but Edward didn't even look at the result, turned over and ran towards the door.

Lu Zhiyu wiped the air with his fingers, and saw stone guns being wiped out in the air, and then from the surrounding walls and the walls of the house, all the stone structures quickly disintegrated, forming huge palms. Grabbing Edward quickly, the palm formed by layers of stones slapped Edward on the wall.

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat, I surrender."

Edward screamed in fright, and Lu Zhiyu, who was about to punish him, stopped immediately: "You can do it, move your hands like lightning, run away like a rabbit, it's a little bit to beg for mercy Not bad."

Edward was pressed to death on the wall by several layers of stone palms, and said with a smile: "Didn't I not recognize you? I must have been taken aback by your sudden appearance in front of me like this."

Lu Zhiyu looked at Edward jokingly: "Do you know who I am?"

Edward immediately said: "I transplanted the blood of the Earth Bear, which can control the conversion between soil, rocks, and sand. This kind of blood power transplantation has just been developed, and I am the only one who can do it at present. It is also impossible for my mentor, Poul Kelemo, to be able to use extraordinary witchcraft at will, and there is only one person who is so powerful, the founder of the wizard tower - the great sage Anthony, my teacher Boll It's your student, I heard him talk about your appearance, but I didn't recognize it before."

Edward never thought that he would meet this legendary great sage whose whereabouts are mysterious and uncertain here, the origin of the wizard, and the legendary strong man whose power is close to that of a god. You can see the sweat dripping down.

Lu Zhiyu took a chair and sat in front of Edward, Edward was slapped on the wall like a prisoner, unable to move, looked at Lu Zhiyu in embarrassment, but did not dare to beg him to let him down .

"Because I was passing through the Kingdom of Mara, your teacher Boer got rid of me to take care of you, but I didn't expect that you accepted the task of your mentor and set off a month ago, and you arrived so late."

Edward immediately said: "That's because I heard the news about my senior Adenos on the way, so when I went to investigate, I was delayed for a long time."

Lu Zhiyu's eyes flickered: "Adenos? Another student who was expelled from the tower by Boll before, are you familiar with him?"

Edward nodded: "I found out that he appeared in the Principality of Kvir, and traced it all the way, but finally found no trace of him. Although he was expelled from the tower by the teacher, the teacher was very angry with his behavior, but Boer The teacher still cares about him very much, and I hope to persuade him to return to the tower."

Lu Zhiyu laughed: "The forbidden area of ​​the Principality of Kevill, the basement of the northern wilderness used to be Levi's headquarters, and the Knights of the Night Owl were also born there. In a sense, the existence of the Knights of the Night Owl is different from your previous The ghouls I've seen are similar."

Edward frowned: "Ghoul? Is it the name of the monster before? It's really appropriate! Mr. Anthony, what happened in Babs City? Do you know about it?"

When Edward was talking about this, he looked at Lu Zhiyu hesitantly, worried that Lu Zhiyu was behind this matter, and Lu Zhiyu looked at Edward: "I know something, but this is something your mentor gave you. The mission is also a trial, I am not going to help you, and I will leave the Kingdom of Mara immediately after dawn, so you can give up your idea of ​​wanting my help."

Edward immediately became frustrated, and a smile appeared in Lu Zhiyu's eyes, and he continued, "But it's not impossible to give you some news."
