Chapter 172 Another Lehman Eye

Cui Chengze's eyes became distant, and his eyes returned to the time when he was trapped in the sunken shipwreck zone.

"To be honest, to this day, I still can't believe that I really escaped from that area. When I boarded the Song of the Sea, I even thought that I had never left this wreck zone."

As Choi Sung-taek recalled, he began to describe everything that happened to him in the wreck zone.

Choi Cheng-taek entered the wreckage zone eight years ago aboard the Louis passenger ship.

Like the Song of the Sea and the Starleap, it was not an accident, but a man-made disaster.

Like a script that has been shown countless times, the captain of the Lewis, together with the New Cosmic Sect on the ship, successfully took over control of the passenger ship.

They deliberately created conflicts and panic, used excuses to kill disobedient guys, and made the passengers uneasy. In order to seek psychological comfort and follow the herd mentality, they all joined the New Universe Sect.

They spent a nightmare thirty days in the wreck zone, and finally passed through the wreck zone and reached the end of the journey.

An extremely calm sea.

On this sea, the New Universe Sect began a sacrificial ceremony.

Before Cui Chengze boarded the ship, he was a well-known fortune teller. His family was once a royal wizard, and the family passed down mystical knowledge from generation to generation.

It's just that the level of their family is average, and their qualifications are also middle to lower. The inheritance is passed down from generation to generation. When it comes to Grandpa Cui Chengze's generation, because the level is so poor, the underground occult circle no longer takes their family to play.

By the time it reached Cui Chengze, their family's mysticism had lost its ability to fight, and they could only make a living by making divination for ordinary people. Even so, the probability of divination being effective was only 30%.

Because of his poor ability, the New Universe Sect did not regard him as an insider at all, but only regarded him as a liar who deceived and deceived him, and did not strictly monitor him or get rid of him in advance.

Unexpectedly, although Cui Chengze was poor in skills, he still had a lot of knowledge. He took advantage of the preparation time for the ceremony to find a weakness in the ceremony and used all his life's learning to create a safe zone.

The next moment he saw the entire ship glowing with light.

After the light disappeared, except for several senior leaders and captains of the New Universe Sect, everyone else disappeared in the light.

Hiding in the shadows, he saw a speedboat picking up the captain and several people from the New Universe Sect. He wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but as soon as the people left, a huge whirlpool was generated under the sea, bringing the Lewis back to the sunken ship. bring.

Ever since he saw the light of the sacrificial ceremony, he seemed to have an enlightenment. The occult knowledge that was originally like a heavenly book became as easy to understand as a primary school textbook.

He arranged a fishing spell to attract the surrounding sea fish, and fished with the fishing rods of the passengers on the boat to obtain food.

The sunken ship brought a lot of rain, so when I was thirsty I drank the accumulated rainwater.

Relying on sea fish and rainwater, he lived alone on the ship for nearly two years. During this period, he saw another ship entering the wreckage zone, but he did not dare to take the initiative to approach it because the stronger his occult power was, the more he could detect it. How terrifying are these guys who arranged the sacrificial ceremony.

He could only watch as the cruise ship appeared and disappeared.

After that experience, he was ashamed of his own weakness and hated his own powerlessness, so he practiced mysticism desperately and vowed that if he met those people again, he would find a way to stop them.

Not long after that, while fishing as usual, he caught a giant fish.

At this point, Cui Chengze suddenly stopped and said, "You must not be able to guess what I caught."

Wu Chang frowned. He suddenly felt that Cui Chengze didn't say so much. He couldn't be a fisherman showing off his catch, right?

How did you know that I caught an eight-hundred-pound tuna in the wreck zone?

He didn't think that catching anything could help Cui Chengze leave the wreckage zone, let alone tuna. Even if Cui Chengze caught a blue whale, it would be useless.

He curled his lips and mocked: "You can't catch Poseidon, can you?"

After saying this, he saw Cui Chengze's face drop instantly, as if he wanted to show off a secret to his parents, but the child guessed the answer in the first sentence.

"Damn, have you always been so intuitive?"

Wu Chang: "..."

Damn it, did he really catch Poseidon?

Cui Chengze sighed. Although the answer to the mystery was guessed, he became excited again thinking about the glorious achievements.

"I caught a golden dragon king that day! You must have no idea how big that dragon king is! I just saw a scale across the sea, and it was more than three meters long!"

"My fishing hook got caught in the gap between its scales and was dragged into the sea. I couldn't resist and could only hold on to the fishing rod for dear life. When I woke up, I was already lying on the shore."

"I raised my head and happened to see on the rocks not far away, there were statues of sea people worshiping the Poseidon General. I can be sure that the Dragon King I caught that day must be the Poseidon General!"

Wu Chang recalled the legend of Poseidon General, and there seemed to be some relationship between the two.

Assuming what Cui Chengze said is true, and Poseidon General really exists in this shipwreck area, is the thing calling him in the deep sea the so-called Poseidon General?

But judging from the movement and method of calling, that thing doesn't look like a good god.

Both his reason and his inspiration were telling him that he must not obey the call and rush to see that thing.

In other words, the thing Cui Chengze once caught was not a Dragon King, but something evil. However, with Cui Chengze's level of inspiration, he could not figure out the existence of the other party and mistakenly thought it was a Dragon King.

Wu often tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, thinking that no matter what Cui Chengze said was true or false, he would not be able to drive the entire ship's crew away from the sunken shipwreck.

You can't just let the Dragon King hang a group of people swimming with a fishhook in each hand.

What do you think the Dragon King is, a wall-mounted version of the Undersea Train?

Putting aside the matter of leaving the shipwreck zone early, Wu Chang looked at Cui Chengze and said:

"You said that you once swore that if you encountered people from the New Universe Sect again, you would do your best to stop them. Now that you are boarding the Star Leap, do you think you have the strength to stop them?"

Cui Chengze nodded, "Before I came here, I thought I had it. I had seen the light of the sacrifice formation and the true form of the Poseidon General, and my vision and perception have been greatly improved."

"Those underground occult circles that are hidden underground and are eager to control the Gaomu Kingdom through occultism. I defeated their strongest person two years ago. There is no stronger occult user than me in the entire Gaomu Kingdom."

Wu Chang teased: "But during the previous battle in the cargo bay, I didn't see the posture of you, the strongest occult user in Gaomu Kingdom."

Cui Chengze was not embarrassed by his previous performance and said confidently: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. I realize my shortcomings, so I asked you for help."

Wu Chang continued to ask: "Why do they want to arrest you?"

Cui Chengze's face stiffened, and he cautiously probed: "Maybe they discovered my identity as a survivor and want to silence me?"

Wu Chang snorted and said, "But when they fight, they obviously don't want to hurt you."

Cui Chengze: "What information do you want to get from me?"

Wu Chang: "One of them is a senior executive of the New Universe Sect. What information does he need to obtain from you?"

Cui Chengze:...

Wu Chang:......

The two stared at each other for five minutes. Finally Cui Chengze couldn't hold it in any longer and took out an eye-shaped stone from his arms.

"Actually, it was because of it that the reason why I dared to board the ship alone to stop the actions of the New Universe Sect was because when I defeated the underground occult circle two years ago, in order to test my own strength, I attacked the headquarters of the New Universe Sect and robbed it. Take away their sacred objects.”

"The two guys before noticed it somehow, especially the powerful master of mysticism. He was the first to catch up with me and asked me to hand over the thing."

When Wu Chang saw the eye-shaped stone on the table clearly, his whole eyes were wrong.

Why does this eye-shaped stone look so familiar to him? There seems to be a similar one on him.

"May I take a look at it?"

Cui Chengze shrugged and said: "Please, if you help me stop the conspiracy of the New Universe Sect, I can give it to you. But I personally suggest you not to take it. Even the believers of the New Universe Sect cannot use its power. , and it’s stained with curses that make people unhappy.”

Wu Chang picked up the eye-shaped stone on the table, and its attribute panel appeared in front of his eyes.

"Item name: Lyman's Eye (inactive)"

"Prop type: copy prop"

"Item Level: Unknown"

"Item description: The large number of sacrifices you have made makes Lyman happy. In order to reward your performance, before it comes, you will be given some of the glory of the gods in advance."

"Item Skill: Pious Gift"

"Skill description: With Lyman's Eye, when using abilities related to mysticism, you will receive a significant improvement in all aspects. It can resist serious negative effects for the user. Every time a thousand high-quality sacrifices are sacrificed, This effect can be reset once."

"Remarks: The new left eye of Evil God Lyman contains the huge power and endless curse of Evil God Lyman."

Sure enough, the sacred object of the New Universe Sect that Cui Chengze snatched was the Eye of Lyman!

If he remembered correctly, the Lyman's Eye he had previously obtained from the Moonlight Sanatorium was also a left eye. Judging from the description of the prop, it seemed that the evil god Lyman had just regenerated a left eye and fell into his hands again.

Gee, that’s a bit much.

Just catch the left eye and it's buzzing. What does that mean? What about the right eye? Why can't the right eye come down and move?

The New Universe Sect has been conducting sacrifices for so many years, and the reason seems to have been found. The large number of sacrifices is to allow Lyman's divine power to squeeze through the plane barriers little by little and descend to the dungeon plane in the wilderness.

Lyman's new left eye is their result over the years.

As for the grand sacrificial ceremony being prepared on the Star Leap, if nothing else happens, it is to awaken this unactivated Lyman Eye.

As for why the New Universe Sect started preparing for the ritual without finding the Eye of Lyman, it's probably because they didn't need to find it at all.

When Wu Chang got the Lyman's Eye, he could feel that it had a special connection with the mystical rituals on the Star Leap.

No matter whose hands it falls into, it will appear on the Star Leap on the day the ceremony begins.

This is the cause and effect condensed from countless sacrifices. From the moment it condensed, today's results have been destined.

As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of other gods, no one can stop it.

However, the so-called cause and effect can only make the Lyman Eye appear on the Star Leap. Whether it can be recaptured depends on the ability of the New Universe Sect.

Wu Chang did not wait for Cui Chengze's consent and directly put Lyman's Eye into the portable space.

After obtaining Lyman's Eye, he could feel that the speed of his body's absorption of occult pollution was more than doubled. Not only that, the effect of his occult-contaminated organs was once again enhanced.

Before, he saw that the occult ritual on the ship was a complicated spider web, but now when he looked at it again, he found that there were countless extra threads on the spider web.

These threads are specific to every believer of the New Universe Sect on the ship. The occult rituals and believers of the New Universe Sect together form the ceremony on the ship.

Cui Chengze watched Wu Chang put away the Lyman Eye and said: "I have already answered your questions, and I have also given you the token of the New Universe Sect. Now you should believe me."

Wu Chang nodded. He could be sure that Cui Chengze was not from the Serenity Sect. No believer of the Serenity Sect would dare to give away the eyeballs of his own god.

"Of course, my friend, I never doubted you from the beginning."

Cui Chengze grinned. If he hadn't just experienced being cornered by a mystic and a werewolf, and realized that his own plan could not succeed, with his temper before boarding the ship, he would have turned against Wu Chang's interrogation just now. .

"Very well, now that we have trusted each other, now we must be prepared to stop the Serenity Sect."

"First of all, what we have to do is to draw out the potential in your body, which is your ability to see the mysterious formation in the cargo hold and cut it off."

Wu Chang said: "In fact, I already have a little idea of ​​how to apply this ability."

As he spoke, in front of Cui Chengze, he tried his best to absorb the occult pollution into his body, and tried the emblems through the secret method to transform them into his own energy.

"I have been able to see some inexplicable energy since a long time ago. I once heard some people who claimed to be masters call the energy I saw occult pollution."

"He said that I have a strange physique. Occult pollution is a fatal poison to ordinary users, but for me, it is a treasure that can strengthen the body. He also gave me this little thing, saying that it can help me absorb it better. Those occult contaminations.”

After the demonstration, he placed the secret trial emblem in front of Cui Chengze.

The two of them are now in the same force and have the same goals. They can show him the Eye of Lyman and it's just a secret trial emblem. Of course he has nothing to hide.

Cui Chengze tremblingly picked up the secret trial emblem, observed it for a moment, and suddenly shouted:

"Fart! Fart! What poor bastard dares to pretend to be a master of mysticism and mislead his disciples!"

"Axi, that bastard must have found an antique manuscript that was hundreds or even thousands of years old, and taught himself backward occult science. Damn it, those antique manuscripts are a waste and a crime if they fall into the hands of laymen. !”

Cui Chengze looked at Wu Chang with wide eyes, "What kind of occult pollution have you absorbed? That is the most original power of occultism!"

Wu Chang asked: "The origin of mysticism?"

Cui Chengze confirmed: "Yes, those of us who use mysticism use cumbersome rituals and complex formations in order to transform the ordinary energy in the world, that is, the qi in the bodies of the bodyguards, into the power that constitutes the origin of the world. ”

"Trick your brat who claims to be a master of mysticism. Although his self-taught mysticism is backward, he can easily transform the original energy of mysticism. But the backward mysticism cannot drive that powerful and pure energy, causing the energy to backfire. Killed the user."

Cui Chengze became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke and continued:

"This must be the case, because the origin of mysticism backlashes, and those who practice this method will die early, resulting in the inheritance being cut off. If I were allowed to see those records and learn the application method of that kind of mysticism, I would never lose to the people in the cargo hold That guy from the New Universe Sect!”

Wu Chang listened to Cui Chengze's speculation, and all the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved.

No wonder the pollution caused by occultism is even stronger than occultism itself.

No wonder the arcane knights do not need to master occult knowledge, but they have better access to occultism than wizards and priests.

No wonder Cui Chengze, as a user of occult science, can live for such a long time without showing any signs of physical decline even though his body is not very strong.

It turns out that the occult science and technology tree in the Moonlight Sanatorium plane was originally wrong.

They don't know what method they used, skipping the normal path and using crude occult rituals to directly trigger the origin of occultism.

In the context of religion, this energy that they cannot control is naturally regarded as the price of using extraordinary abilities, and is named occult pollution.

Wu Chang coughed slightly, interrupting Cui Chengze's annoyance and said:

"Put aside the matter of the occult school and continue the topic just now. How can I further master this power?"

Cui Chengze clenched the secret trial emblem in his hand, his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, he said excitedly:

"Although I can't see the manuscripts that record special mysticism, I can see the mystical magic circle on this coat of arms. I can expand it and further improve it according to its ideas, so as to speed up your absorption of mysteries. Learn the original process!”

"Didn't you ask me before if there was a way to leave the shipwreck zone in advance? Originally there was no way, but now there is!"
