Chapter 413 432. Escape from the crime scene
Xu Zhi felt that her idea was definitely correct, the problem was how to implement it.
Although after the ability upgrade, she can cover objects or people in the Land of Relics and then directly turn off her extraordinary ability to trap them inside forever, the prerequisite is that the other party's extraordinary level and ability must be lower than hers, otherwise the other party can break through the Land of Relics and rush out, and it will also cause Xu Zhi to suffer backlash.
Her problem now is that she can turn it off, but how can she ensure that these things won’t run out and she won’t get seriously injured?
And if she steals things from here, she will definitely be discovered. How will she escape the wrath of the gods then?
Xu Zhi suddenly thought of a place, midnight.
The rules of midnight were the most complex and vast rules she had ever seen. She even felt that compared to the dense chains in front of her, the rules of midnight were much more powerful and mysterious, and were not on the same level at all.
Now she has her own home at midnight, but the gods don’t have it, right?
She hid in the midnight, maybe she could escape?
The only problem now was that she couldn't enter Midnight anytime and anywhere, but she could try.
Now trying to master a small part of the rules about midnight, she still remembered the feeling when she tried to deconstruct the rules of the wooden sign. As long as she understood the first symbol, she would feel the resonance between herself and this rule. Using this resonance, she should be able to feel the existence of midnight and enter and exit midnight at any time.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhi no longer hesitated. The aura of restriction in this place was so strong that it seemed to have a unique suppressive power on the [rules]. So she could just try to see if comprehending the rules of midnight here would be smoother.
When Xu Zhi closed her eyes and recalled the midnight rules that she had already mastered very well in her mind, she did not notice any difference from the past. However, when she tried to draw a rule symbol on the ground with her fingers, she unexpectedly found that the drawing process seemed to be a little easier than when she was lost.
Just as she thought, these chains and the aura here were all rules suppressing rules.
In other words, the rules are weakening the rules. They cannot suppress it directly, and it takes a long time and a large amount of extraordinary energy to slowly dissipate the aura on the fragments.
After confirming this, Xu Zhi no longer hesitated and immediately immersed herself in the contemplation of the midnight rules. She chose the section she was most familiar with, which was the midnight rule symbol she was most familiar with and the one she had drawn the earliest.
Although he had successfully mastered a rule and had gotten started, it was not easy to deduce the midnight rule from it. Xu Zhi kept comparing the wooden sign rules to see if there were any that were similar to the midnight rule, or had a similar aura, or even just similarities in the placement of a symbol, and then tried to deconstruct the various different meanings that symbol might represent.
Since no one could lead her through the midnight rules, she tried them one by one using the most stupid method, and even tried to take a shortcut by using the ability of [Authority] to control everything. When the aura of [Authority] spread over the rule symbols, Xu Zhi indeed felt that her progress was much faster.
According to common sense, this method is actually not applicable to [rules], because the rule symbols may appear in different shapes in the eyes of different people after they are concretized. Even in the eyes of the same person, there will be some changes due to her different state.
But Xu Zhi's extraordinary affinity is really too high. What's more, she has a tomb in midnight. In a sense, she is also a creature of midnight.
Therefore, Midnight is also very friendly to her now. When she disassembles to a certain place, she will have a mysterious feeling. It is not that someone is telling her something, nor is anyone guiding her, but her excessive affinity makes her realize that this should be right.
This is the result of her talent.
So, using this "stupid method" that is unimaginable for ordinary people, Xu Zhi spent a long time on a symbol. Finally, she studied the possible meaning of every stroke of the symbol. Afterwards, she began to reorganize these complex "knowledge" in her mind. In her eyes, the symbol was only half the size of a fingernail, but the meaning it represented could not be printed out even if a meter-thick A4 paper was piled together.
Of course, in reality, this symbol does not really represent so many meanings in the midnight rules, but it itself may represent too many meanings. Xu Zhi needs to reconstruct the correct one from a large amount of knowledge.
When she completed this step, she had completed the deconstruction of the symbol and had a thorough understanding of the entirety of this small symbol.
This process alone took Xu Zhi nearly half a month.
During this period, she truly experienced what it meant to "learn until her scalp numbs."
It was also thanks to her attribute of [Light], and the fragment that entered her body itself carried a lot of "knowledge", as well as the knowledge reserves brought to her by the remaining "lights" in the Federation, and she herself had never slacked off in learning after coming to the real world, otherwise her knowledge reserves might not be enough to analyze this symbol.
Even so, she felt some difficulty in the process due to her lack of knowledge. She swore that after she got out, the first thing she would do was to find an extraordinary library and stay in it for a while!
It was not until this moment that Xu Zhi truly felt why "knowledge" was so important to extraordinary people.
No one told you in advance that you need to know so much knowledge to understand the rules!
If she had not accepted the [Lamp] and was just a pure [Moth], she would probably be completely in the dark by now.
The [Light] attribute circuit in the body seemed to sense Xu Zhi's mood, and the small filament-like tentacles waved excitedly twice.
After successfully comprehending the first symbol, Xu Zhi felt refreshed. The lethargy caused by days of comprehending the rules and the dull pain in her brain disappeared in an instant. Her extraordinary level seemed to have risen to a higher level at this moment, and even her life level quietly climbed up again. The extraordinary energy that had been consumed was replenished, and Xu Zhi felt that she had recovered from a state of being on the verge of drying up to full blood in an instant.
Especially her mental power, which doubled in an instant, bringing her already extraordinary mental power to an even more exaggerated level. This was of course also due to the abnormality of her talent circuit, but it was also enough to show the power of the midnight rule.
Xu Zhi had a hunch that even if she turned on the [Eyes of Prying Eyes] and looked directly at this place, it would not cause any problems.
And at this moment, even in such an environment, with the [rules] suppressed, she instantly sensed the breath of midnight.
But the environment here is rather special, and she needs to be more focused and exert more effort to open the "door" into midnight.
Moreover, as the first symbol was comprehended, a large amount of new knowledge also flooded into Xu Zhi's mind at this moment. This was a gift from the rules.
With this knowledge, Xu Zhi will be of great help in comprehending the remaining rules of midnight. She can even feel the urgent desire in her heart to comprehend more rules.
Just one symbol can bring her so many benefits. When she comprehends all the midnight rules, won't she be able to compete with those gods?
But now is not a suitable time. She spent nearly a month here just for the first symbol!
And this is just an extremely inconspicuous starlight in the long river of midnight rules.
But at least she has gotten started. After this, her efficiency in comprehending the midnight rules will be greatly improved.
Xu Zhi exhaled lightly. After confirming that her current condition was perfect, a hint of golden light flashed in her light gray pupils. She first used [Authority] to grant [Prying Eyes] a higher level of authority. Then, when [Prying Eyes] was opened, she saw the densely packed [Rules] in this space.
It was a fragment far denser than those chains of rules, or rather, those chains were merely one of their external manifestations, and these rules representing restrictions filled the entire space. The fragment in the center was struggling against them. In the sky, which ordinary people could not see, wave after wave of impacts overflowed from the fragment, but were blocked by these densely packed restrictions that filled the entire space, stopping it in place and making it unable to move.
They couldn't invade it or defeat it, but if they could stop it and imprison it, they would have accomplished their mission.
In Xu Zhi's eyes, these rules that filled the entire space were artificially combined in a very sophisticated order, exerting a power far greater than their own. The fragment was just a "fragment", and under such a sophisticated deployment, it would be difficult for it to escape.
Xu Zhi thought that this was a good thing, as it would make it easier for her to pick peaches.
After confirming how big this space was and where its boundaries were, Xu Zhi decided to take action.
She guessed that the process of releasing the [Land of Relics] would not be instantaneous. Sure enough, even after comprehending the midnight rules and raising her extraordinary level and affinity, it was still difficult for her to release her extraordinary abilities here.
What's more, what she wants to display is domain-related abilities.
Xu Zhi only felt that the restrictions here seemed to have filled her circuits with stones, making the operation of her extraordinary abilities obscure and difficult, and it was extremely difficult to release her extraordinary abilities, but Xu Zhi was not without a solution.
She simply summoned Midnight here.
I can't beat you, shouldn't I ask for help?
The moment the breath of midnight descended upon Xu Zhi, her extraordinary ability, which had been extremely difficult to operate, suddenly became much smoother. It was also at the moment of this change that Xu Zhi noticed that the rules here seemed to have changed for a moment.
She immediately guessed that this might be a backup plan left by the gods to monitor this place, and she had to leave here immediately.
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately released [Land of Relics] to cover the entire space the moment she felt her extraordinary ability flowing smoothly.
Although this place is big, it is still inferior to the [Land of Relics] which has been expanded several times. After all, even though it is also a prison, it was once a small world.
When the [Land of Relics] enveloped this place, Xu Zhi, through his control over his own domain, truly felt that the rules here were sending some kind of signal to the outside world.
But after the [Authority] was connected to the [Land of Relics], this transmission was cut off.
But even so, Xu Zhi felt a "bad" atmosphere at this moment.
She immediately put away the [Land of Relics]. As her extraordinary powers disappeared, this space filled with rules also disappeared along with the extraordinary powers.
Xu Zhi lost her support, but the suppression of the rules on her also disappeared. She was able to regain the ability of the named person to step on the air and avoid falling. The next moment, Xu Zhi walked into the midnight without any reluctance.
After confirming that he had crossed the boundary between midnight and reality, Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, her back was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, all because of the extremely dangerous aura she had just sensed. That aura made her feel that her life was like a candle swaying in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time, as if if she left a second later, a fatal attack would come.
Fortunately, even in such an emergency situation, Xu Zhi did not panic and did everything as quickly as he could. Even after escaping the crime scene and hiding after midnight, the deadly and dangerous atmosphere had indeed dissipated.
All that was left was a faint sense of crisis surrounding her, like a sharp knife poking at her back, which never faded away.
She probably couldn't leave Midnight for the time being. As soon as she showed up, those gods would probably attack her immediately. The unavoidable sense of crisis was proof of this.
But it's okay. She has seen through her spiritual body that there is chaos outside. What she needs to do now is to let her spiritual body read more books to enhance its knowledge reserves and master more rules of midnight as soon as possible. During this period, it would be best to find a suitable opportunity to eat that piece of debris.
Xu Zhi had a premonition that when she ate that piece of debris, she would get an unprecedented improvement.
Perhaps, she would get the chance to find where the "door" to ascension was.
There was a glimmer of anticipation in the girl's eyes. Ascension was the dream of all extraordinary people, even she was no exception.
Since we are pursuing power, we must pursue the ultimate power.
However, just a few minutes after Xu Zhi rested, the premonition of crisis in her heart suddenly became stronger.
She couldn't help but frown and looked around, and then she found that there was suddenly some noise coming from the distance in the originally quiet midnight.
If it weren't for the unbearable sense of crisis, Xu Zhi wouldn't have been 100% sure that the noise in the distance was directed at her. But now it seemed that those "gods" didn't choose to rush in here immediately, but instead tried to create a commotion in the middle of the night to find her in some way?
After all, the [Land of Relics] is a small world, and she has cancelled her extraordinary abilities. Even if the original restrictions and rules have the function of positioning, they will be ineffective at this moment, and will only locate in the void.
Now the gods could probably only confirm that she had hidden herself in the midnight.
