Spirit Realm

【The Soul-Guiding Song collapsed?】

What's going on with these new posts on the forum? It's been a long time since I posted them. Have they been swallowed by the system?

Does anyone know the details of those SSS-level missions? Yongan was mentioned several times. Is that the Yongan I know?

…

The forum title flickered on the holographic screen. As Shi Xi raised his hand and clenched his fist, the screen froze.

"This is a game forum that was recreated by Longyan Logistics and technical staff. The time difference is about one minute."

He scanned the holographic images of the three guild leaders one by one. "Everyone, what are your thoughts?"

Guild Master Garr, still grieving the loss of his Chief Super God, gritted his teeth and said, "We must find Yong'an before anyone else does!"

President Fei agreed, adding, "Wing On's location hasn't been revealed on the forum yet. Why not deploy more personnel and conduct a comprehensive search while other companies haven't reacted?"

Chairman Yatan shook his head. "I think we need to divert our attention to investigate the person who replied to the message that spread the mission information: 'The target of public criticism'."

"According to Guild President Lu's previous review, the presence of NPCs and players in the Yong'an mission is extremely cunning. Perhaps this is also a trap."

Shi Xizheng agreed.

"None of us four have leaked any information about the mission. The only ones who know all the details are the players on Yong'an Farm. President Yatan's analysis makes sense. But—"

He paused. "From our previous encounters, it seems Yong'an Farm has been trying to hide its existence, actively exposing itself to the entire server. Their motives are conflicting. Furthermore, even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn't be able to do anything without the forum's anonymity."

Shi Xizheng thought for a moment and corrected himself. "Verifying the identity of the replying poster is the right direction, but the focus is off. Besides Yong'an, the most important things to pay attention to right now are these forum posts."

"What methods were used to hide posts that were published a long time ago and release them now? And what methods..."

As he spoke, he fell silent.

There are too many mysteries, and no one can figure them out at the moment.

Wei Gang said, "Let me add one more thing. It's not just the forum posts, there are also messages. During several missions, messages were intercepted. Perhaps the forum posts were hidden for the same reason. And..."

He glanced at Shi Xizheng, and Shi Xizheng understood.

——And the members of the trial team who lost their qualifications to play the game, and the details of their memories that were erased.

There are many cases where certain ghost techniques can block communications.

But what about hiding forum posts?

Just like erasing a player's memory, it's unheard of.

No matter how advanced holographic technology is, it is still a technology controlled by humans. Precisely erasing detailed memories can only be explained as a divine act.

Divine revelation.

Shi Xizheng exchanged glances with Wei Gang tacitly.

To this day, only the Longyan Guild knows that the Yongan mission is related to divine revelation.

The question now is whether to continue to keep it secret.

The two of them had not yet reached a conclusion in their secret communication when the secretary knocked on the door and came in, whispering a report in Shi Xizheng's ear.

Shi Xizheng was stunned and left the office.

"Please wait a moment, presidents. President Lu has an important call." said the secretary.

About ten minutes later, Shi Xizheng came back, but he didn't sit down. He stood at the end of the long table, adjusting his glasses.

"Everyone, we are now faced with a choice. Although the Yongan mission has been exposed, only those of us in this conference room know the details of the mission.

Those who agree that all details should be disclosed to all players, please raise your hands."

Everyone, including Wei Gang, was stunned.

"Why?"

"Why would you hand over the mission information to others?"

"This is a mission shared by all four of us!"

No one agreed.

Shi Xizheng: "Of the seven guilds in the four major factions, more than half, except for Ouli from Lengbing City, Xiangyang and Duozhu from Konggu, have already intervened in the mission."

"Three more companies is still too many!" President Gal objected most strongly.

The Gal Guild has lost Ali and Witt in succession and has invested too much in the Yong'an mission.

Guild President Feili nodded in agreement. "Besides, the game isn't just about guilds; wild players also occupy a significant portion of the market."

President Yatan stood on the same front as them: "President Lu, making all the information public will only make the situation more chaotic and disorderly, which will not benefit anyone."

All of these were the reactions Shi Xizheng expected.

He smiled helplessly: "Then the joint group needs to be expanded a second time, not to four parties, but to five parties."

Shi Xizheng signaled his secretary to turn on the holographic projector: "Welcome, President Ouli, to join us."

-

Lengbing City, the office of President Long Yan in the central city.

Chu Mo lay on the sofa all day, but Shi Xizheng never showed up.

Shi Xi was a conservative and punctual person. He called Chu Mo repeatedly, but Chu Mo came and he broke the appointment.

Very abnormal.

The teleportation array on the ceiling has been repaired.

Those words about An Rou's death echoed in my ears, as distant as memories from a previous life, yet as clear as if they had just happened.

His scattered thoughts suddenly came to a stop, Chu Mo jumped up from the sofa and stepped onto the Youqi Sword.

But he did not leave. He stood in mid-air with his sword and looked at the teleportation array.

No one activated it, the array pattern did not glow, but a person came out of the array.

Seeing Chu Mo's gloomy gaze, Xie Xin chuckled and said, "There's chaos out there, and you're still clueless. Chu Mo, admit it, you don't belong in that world."

"What's the meaning?"

After Chu Mo asked, a huge light screen appeared in front of him.

It's a gaming forum.

New posts poured in like a tide, and every number on the page was jumping rapidly.

Chu Mo's eyes glared, and he repeated, "What do you mean?"

Xie Xin didn't care: "I'm tired of playing."

Naturally, the excuses he made up couldn't satisfy Chu Mo.

After a moment, he succumbed to Chu Mo's gaze, his smile gradually turning colder: "He prefers her more, I refuse to accept it."

"So, you want to kill her too."

"We join forces?" Xie Xin smiled inexplicably, "Otherwise, I won't tell you her location."

-

The light shields of "Ghost Magic" Night Walk and Ghost Island have the same effect. From the outside, they both have a good anti-peeping effect.

The advantage of "night flight" is that it can be hidden in the darkness and is extremely difficult to distinguish at high speed.

A crack appeared in the soil layer more than 20 meters thick on the outer edge of the farm.

Three figures stood in the crack, Paopao and Meng Ziyu squinted their eyes and looked at the black shadow in the distance.

The hazy outline was extremely clear in An Rou's "eyes".

She borrowed the rich man's superior night vision.

"That's the Lingyu Wanshan?"

It was a seemingly ordinary group of mountains, somewhat similar to the mountains in the center of the trial area, but upon closer inspection, it was definitely not ordinary.

Because those black mountain shadows were floating, almost at the same height as the flying star.

"It's hard to see clearly." Paopao said, "But the densely packed mountainous areas on the Land of No Life are the only spiritual realms, so that should be correct."

An Rou frowned: "Those mountains seem to be still. Could it be that the Chaos Star Formation hasn't been activated?"

Paopao checked the information in advance: "It's a trick, the mountains appear to be still, but they are actually moving.

"Someone on the forum said that whether you stand outside the Spirit Realm or on a mountain within it, you can't feel the mountains drifting. Only when you enter the area between the mountains will you feel... like being swept into a cosmic meteorite belt. Boss, be careful."

Meng Ziyou asked, "How did the others get into the Spirit Realm?"

"There is only one way, the teleportation array."

Paopao opened the light screen map, pointed to the southwest direction of the Spirit Realm, and began to explain.

The positions of the four major camps roughly form a square, with the spiritual realm in the lower right corner.

There is a train station in the northwest of the mountains, which travels to and from Ghost Island and is named Ghost Train No. 1.

There is a super-large teleportation array in the station square, which contains 99 small teleportation arrays and can teleport hundreds of players at a time.

Similar to the small town in Lengbing City, there is a teleportation array on every mountain in Lingyu. If players want to go to a certain mountain, they can reach their destination by transferring twice at most.

Meng Ziyou couldn't see the light screen, curled his lips and said disdainfully: "No matter how big the teleportation array is, can it be bigger than the farm? Anyway, it won't be used."

Why explain so much? Are you trying to show off your experience?

Paopao was confused and scratched his head, looking at Anrou: "Anyway, Boss, you must be extremely careful when forcing your way into the Chaos Star Array. The speed at which the mountains move is not comparable to that of the Ghost Island."

Of course.

An Rou slowly exhaled, "You two go up and take your positions."

The two looked at each other and were sent to the ground by their sudden wealth.

Around the farm, Zhang Da has arranged all the ghoul employees to disperse and be ready to go.

Paopao and Meng Ziyu stood in the vacant positions.

Meng Ziyu was still parasitic in Khan's body and took out the fire crossbow.

There is no doubt that for potential mountain collisions, fire crossbows, which are long-range and explosive weapons, are the most suitable.

Paopao took out the Silver Wind Mace.

The Silver Wind Mace has a remote control skill similar to that of a flying sword. Although it consumes a lot of energy, it is also suitable for the current situation.

As we flew at high speed, the mountains came closer, and the dark mountain shadows stretched out in groups, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Since the Spirit Realm is one of the camps in the game, it is impossible for the players in it to work from sunrise to sunset. There is no light at all when looking at the mountains in the Spirit Realm, which is definitely a deception.

This makes the silent mountains under the night sky seem extremely depressing.

"A sleight of hand..." An Rou murmured three words, "Bao Bao, leave the emergency to them, and you focus on avoiding the impact of the mountain."

"Yes, Master."

The reason why An Rou chose Lingyu instead of Konggu was precisely because of the so-called Chaos Star Array in Lingyu.

Like the giant pillars beneath the Ghost Island Archipelago, the Chaos Star Array has existed since the dungeon was launched, and neither NPCs nor players can close it.

The only way to get from one mountain to another is the teleportation array.

This makes the mountains in the spiritual realm appear to be continuous, but in fact, each mountain is an isolated island.

As long as we occupy one of the mountains and cut off the teleportation array, even if others find the farm, they will not be able to get over.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the power of the Chaos Star Array must be strong enough.

The first thing An Rou has to do is to pass through the Chaos Star Array smoothly.

"Slow down." An Rou said, reconnecting with her consciousness of sudden wealth and using its vision to look at the mountains.

Not far ahead, surrounded by mountains, there is a square building.

The building was surrounded by a large, neatly-made square, where a faint light from a formation lit up, illuminating several vague human figures.

It should be Lingyu Railway Station.

Behind the train station is the real territory of the spiritual realm.

A group of mountains float in the air, with the base of the mountains at least tens of meters from the ground, and the highest ones are probably hundreds of meters high, which makes the mountains look like they form a super huge mountain.

The silent giant is very likely to evoke a sense of fear.

An Rou gathered her thoughts, estimated the area with her eyes, and whispered, "The diameter of the spiritual realm is estimated to be dozens of mountains. You don't need to drill too deep. Probably... the depth of ten mountains will be enough. No, that's wrong."

An Rou hurriedly corrected.

If the true scene of the Chaos Star Array is mountains flying at high speed, changing positions randomly and disorderly, why bother to drill in?

Just land on the outermost mountain and the mountain will naturally carry the farm inward.

I almost fell into a misconception.

"Use your intuition and land on the nearest mountain," An Rou said.

Rich: "Okay, Master. Shall we enter now?"

An Rou: "Now."

Before he finished speaking, several tentacles extended across each other, weaving a soft mesh in front of An Rou, which neither blocked her sight nor prevented her from accidentally falling through the gap.

An Rou couldn't help but look back at her soul, but the soul had already dispersed into countless points of light and attached to the end of the void tentacles.

"Master, let's begin."

The soul light spots flickered together, and the wind coming in from the grid suddenly stopped.

Bao Fu reduced his flying speed to the slowest, carrying the farm on his back, and headed towards the nearest mountain.

-

The starless and moonless night hid the farm and a straight black line.

It streaked across the night sky at an unparalleled speed, arrived above Ghost Island, turned a right angle, and headed south.

Even when they saw the Lingyu Mountains, they still couldn't find any trace of the farm.

The Youqi Sword suddenly stopped.

Blue lightning patterns flashed in the eyes of the man on the sword, and the lightning spread upwards, dyeing his short black hair silver-white.

No, the speed of the Spirit Realm Mountain was too high, even the Thunder Eye couldn't see through the chaotic area and couldn't find the farm.

Under the premise that the farm has the cover of "night travel", Chu Mo still dares to stay away from the farm. He relies on two things: Ziwu Flying Sword and He Jie Xin.

The flying speed of the Youqi Sword allows him to reach any place in the four camps in a very short time.

His sense of Jie Xin allows him to find the location of the farm at any time.

But Xie Xin left.

Why did he leave suddenly? Why did he suddenly change his mind and want to kill her?

Compared to this question, another question lingered in Chu Mo's mind for longer: Since he could sense Jie Xin's location, why couldn't he sense her location?

The Trinity, Different Paths, Common Origin…

The lightning patterns disappeared, the silver hair turned black, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the blurry figure that appeared beside him.

Xie Xin smiled and said, "My offer is so simple, why don't you agree? If you're too late, other players will get there first."

Chu Mo ignored him and flew straight to the train station teleportation array.

There was one thing he was too lazy to say: Why join forces to kill her?

Because of this, Jie Xin’s invitation seems even more strange.

-

Paopao’s reminder is too conservative.

The Chaos Star Array is not a meteorite belt at all, but a sandstorm of the highest level. Every mountain is covered with flying sand. In the chaotic storm, it is impossible to distinguish the trajectory.

When the farm was only a hundred meters away from the mountain, a powerful suction force suddenly came from all directions, and even Bao Fu could not resist it and was torn away from the direction.

Strong winds rushed in from the gaps in the grid, pushing An Rou to stagger backwards. The backflowing winds rushed out from the gaps again, sweeping her out of the gaps.

An Rou fell on the soft mesh of tentacles and struggled to keep her body steady.

The gap narrowed, from being enough for people to pass through to only revealing a pair of eyes.

An Rou immediately severed her connection with the consciousness of sudden wealth.

Its vision was so clear that the crashing mountain and the rapidly spinning perspective made her dizzy.

In addition, in such a chaotic situation, two pairs of eyes are definitely better than one.

An Rou calmed herself down, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and looked out through the gap, just in time to see a mountain heading straight towards her.

When the distance was only a few feet away, the dark vision suddenly disappeared.

Bao Fu successfully avoided the impact of the mountain.

The mountains were moving too fast and too irregularly, making it impossible to land under these circumstances.

"How's the farm going?"

Bao Fu did not answer, concentrating on avoiding the impact of the mountain.

An Rou gritted her teeth and connected the consciousness of all the ghouls on the farm. The images in her mind instantly overlapped, and the whistling wind and the sound of collisions made her dizzy.

It's too messy, the perspective of each ghoul is jumpy and messy.

All the images superimposed together made her feel as if she was simultaneously in the midst of countless landslides and countless devastating meteor showers.

Every rapidly falling meteorite is a mountain.

The farm is like a leaf swept by the wind.

Only one picture is relatively still.

An Rou tried hard to focus on the picture, and as her vision moved, she could tell that this was the picture that Meng Ziyu saw.

Not far from it is Paopao.

Like Meng Ziyu, Paopao also stood there, looking very dull.

The advanced weapons in the hands of the man and the ghost seem to be completely useless in the current situation.

The other ghoul employees, each facing one direction, moved around continuously using their skills without a moment's rest.

The skill light hits the rapidly approaching mountain shadow, or hits the sky where the wind is howling.

Every time they attacked, Bao Fu fine-tuned the direction of flight or the angle of inclination.

An Rou understood.

Baofu is Zhang Da's ghost mother, and Zhang Da is the ghost mother of the other ghoul employees. That's why they work together so well, allowing the farm to barely remain intact in the chaotic star formation.

Judging from the appearance of Paopao and Meng Ziyu, they were standing very steadily on the ground. The buildings and residents on the farm should also be fine.

Ghost Magic Night Walk is an independent space opened up by Bao Fu. Perhaps it can change the direction of gravity in the space.

An Rou felt relieved, cut off the connection of consciousness, and began to observe the situation outside through the gap.

She did her best to shut out all distractions and focus on her thoughts.

In the gaps between the mountains, the mountains in the spiritual realm look like an endless sandstorm with unpredictable wind directions. Each mountain moves sideways or up and down, seemingly without any pattern.

Chaos Star Array...

It perfectly fits the word "chaos".

But An Rou did not forget that it was a formation.

Since it is called a formation, there must be some kind of pattern. As long as you discover and utilize the pattern, you can successfully pass this level.

An Rou suddenly thought of something.

At the beginning, Baofu was very close to the mountain, but failed to land and deviated from the direction.

Could it be that the mountain is covered by an invisible and slimy barrier?

She thrust an arm through the gap.

The gap closes.

"Baobao, don't move." An Rou stopped it.

Outside the gap, a black shadow expanded rapidly and the mountain pressed down.

An Rou gritted her teeth and didn't move.

Only when she could vaguely see the trees on the mountain did she quickly withdraw her arm. She quickly changed direction and passed by the mountain.

An Rou gasped and held her wrist.

No, the mountain was not covered by a barrier. What forced the rich to shift direction was something else.

She spread out her five fingers and felt the wind coming in through the gaps.

He took a few steps back and pressed his palms on the void tentacles in all directions.

It's suction.

No matter which direction she pressed her hand, the black tentacles would produce an unprecedented suction force, or... a magnetic field.

She suddenly remembered a fact she had already discovered: all the mountains in the spiritual realm were suspended in the air!

magnetic levitation?

In the real world, maglev trains have long been popular all over the world.

She had long forgotten all the physics knowledge she had learned in her school days. At this moment, An Rou could only think of a saying known to everyone, young and old: opposites attract, likes repel.

But the field of vision she could see through the gap was too narrow to verify her guess.

"Baobao, can you distract yourself and send me up?"

Baofu didn't answer, but tentacles surged over, lifting Anrou upwards. A crack appeared above her head, and she landed on the farm ground.

The ground is indeed very stable, and even if you stand on the edge of the farm, you don’t have to worry about falling.

However, the surroundings and the sky were spinning, and the farm was like a fighter jet that was constantly flipping, making the people inside dizzy.

An Rou aimed at the running figure, lowered her head, stared at the ground and ran over.

Paopao noticed it and came over to support her.

"I suspect the chaotic star array is caused by the magnetic field."

An Rou briefly stated her guess, "You and Meng Ziyu observe carefully to see if there are any two mountains that are relatively still at a certain moment."

Paopao reacted quickly: "Like repels like?"

Meng Ziyou also saw An Rou appear, and quickly came over. Just in time, he heard Paopao's words and frowned: "What bird language are you talking about?"

It's not his fault, the ghoul never went to school, let alone physics.

Paopao is indeed a top student and he quickly expanded on Anrou's guess.

"It's very likely. So any two mountains, no matter how close they are or how close they seem to be, will eventually move apart at the last moment.

"All the mountains have the same magnetic source, but the farm doesn't, so it won't automatically avoid any mountain it hits!"

"Magnetic source" may not be in Meng Ziyu's shielding dictionary.

It frowned and asked, "Can you speak human language?"

"There's no time to talk now," Paopao said. "Come with me and observe. When the two mountains are very close, will there be a short pause?"

"Yes, I saw it all."

"ah?"

Meng Ziyou crossed his arms and said, "My eyesight is much better than yours. I noticed it a long time ago. It's normal. If the mountains collided, wouldn't the spiritual realm be destroyed long ago?"

An Rou couldn't help it and hit it on the top of its head.

"Why did you hit me?!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier when you discovered it? How long was the pause?"

Meng Ziyou replied angrily: "It's just a blink of an eye."

An Rou couldn't help but blink.

Coincidentally, Paopao's popular science came along: "It only takes 0.3 seconds for a normal person to blink. That's too short, boss..."

The pattern has been discovered, but it is too difficult to make use of this fleeting pattern.

No wonder the Chaos Star Array has become a forbidden zone for all players, and no one dares to take a step forward.

The mountain is so heavy, and at a high speed, the impact force can undoubtedly dissolve any health bar.

The most terrifying thing is not losing the chance to be resurrected, but the fact that after death, people may still be hit by the mountains continuously, and then shattered into millions of pieces, waiting for resurrection...

No one can bear the pain of self-healing.

"But this is our only chance." An Rou said slowly.

If you want to get rich quickly, you can use the ghost technique of "pseudo-hiding" to enter the mountain without any danger to your life.

The problem was that "Fake Ambush" and "Night Walk" couldn't be performed simultaneously. The isolated space created by "Night Walk" disappeared, and everyone and everything on the farm was inevitably hit violently.

NPC, but there is no chance of resurrection.

The "Elephant Swallowing" technique, which could make one rich quickly, couldn't even accommodate two hundred people. Even if An Rou gave up her property on the farm, it wouldn't work.

An Rou's eyes went blank. "Baobao, you heard us, right? Get ready, find the moment when the two mountains are relatively still, and land!"

As she finished speaking, a familiar crack appeared at her feet.

An Rou shook her head: "I won't go in. If I fail, I'll die with you. Bao Bao, only success is allowed."

A gust of wind blew through the valley of consciousness, bringing with it the sound of a wealthy soul.

"Yes, Master."
