Chapter 150 The Price of Eyes
……
The advance team arrived near the scene of the incident, but it was pitch black, and it was still difficult to rely on non-visual senses to compare previous memories and distinguish in detail the scenes they had seen from afar.
After getting close, all that’s left is to search patiently.
After searching for a while, Dinina's steps became noticeably unsteady, and she stumbled and fell down.
Because Nie Hong had been concerned about Dinina's abnormal condition, she reacted quickly, turned around and used freeze control to freeze Dinina's fallen body, then reached out to catch her, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.
"Miss Dinina?!" he said in panic.
Although she had not been injured before, Dinina was in a very bad condition at the moment.
His breathing was heavy and his body was shaking.
"I..." Dinina wanted to say that she was fine, but she soon realized that it would be a bit too tough to say that.
Her condition was deteriorating very quickly, abnormally fast.
"How long have we been here?" a sanctuary supporter suddenly asked.
The member in charge of timing on the other side confirmed it and said, "Thirty-seven hours, a day and a half has passed."
"This... Is the influence of Eternal Night on the believers of the Beast Miracle so strong?" Nie Hong was a little nervous.
Everyone has animal nature, so it's not surprising that believers in beast miracles with active animal nature are affected by the Eternal Night, but it's a bit exaggerated that it happened so suddenly and so quickly. If this is the case, ordinary people should also show negative symptoms soon.
"Anti stayed here for three days and nothing happened. Although Antii cannot be regarded as an ordinary person, his resistance in this area is of certain reference value. This shouldn't have happened..." Nie Hong recalled.
"One, two, three... four..." Suddenly, Dinina began to count while trembling.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Dinina looked up, but of course she could not see anything. But even if it was an eternal night, there should still be a sky.
"Five...six...seven..."
Dinina continued to count. No one knew whether this was some kind of move on her part or whether she had lost her mind, but no one dared to disturb her.
As the counting continued, Dinina's breathing became steady, and Nie Hong could also feel that her trembling had weakened a lot.
Finally, Dinina stood up again from her prone position.
"Huh... Sorry for causing everyone to worry." Dinina said in a low voice.
"...Ms. Tina, let's find the mark and go back first. You don't look in good condition." Nie Hong suggested, and the other members around nodded in agreement.
Dinina is the strongest combat force of this team, especially in this environment where the use of many miracles is restricted, the Beast Miracle is instead put to great use.
If her condition was not good, then they had no reason to continue despite the possibility that Dinina might lose control.
It's not good for either De Nina or themselves.
"…It is my consciousness that has put a burden on Daphne's body. Otherwise, her animal nature would not have been suppressed so quickly." Dinina said after a moment of silence.
"Although I am anxious, I can't drag Daphne along casually. You are in danger, so you should find the return mark and retreat first..."
Her tone was full of reluctance, but Dinina knew that her special condition was no longer suitable for continuing to walk in the eternal night.
This body is not her own.
However, as the carrier of her will, once she transforms into a beast, this body will still be affected and mutated.
At that time, Daphne's beastly body will return to influence Daphne's will and cause the worst situation.
He had almost caused Daphne to be killed by Anti because of his recklessness. Now was not the time to be stubborn.
This child who is now living in my body must not be put in unnecessary danger because of her recklessness.
Although it was a bit regrettable, it seemed that we were already very close to our goal, but there was still uncertainty about the outcome. Before saving someone, the prerequisite was to ensure that you would not be sacrificed.
Everyone in the team turned around and retreated without complaint.
While walking on the road, Nie Hong looked at Dinina and asked curiously, "Ms. Dinina, you just counted to calm yourself down. Is this a habit of yours?"
"Otherwise? Do you think it's a miracle?" Dinina also relaxed a little and answered in a teasing tone.
Although the time was not long, it was easy to get closer by fighting side by side. At least, Nie Hong's various performances satisfied Dinina, so she was not stingy in sharing some knowledge and guidance with Nie Hong.
Of course, general joking has become the norm.
Nie Hong smiled and said, "It would be great if there was a miracle that could be used to calm down and calm down."
Although calmness has many uses, it still has limitations as a basic miracle. It cannot truly resist the madness caused by various factors, and cannot bring people back to their senses when they are out of control.
"Sometimes, rather than miracles, some of your own habits can help you find the way back when you are lost." A teammate nearby heard the conversation and also shared some knowledge. "Counting is a very common technique. Some people will count special numbers or do simple arithmetic problems. The next one is to say the names of people you are familiar with. Brother Nie Hong, if you need it in the future, don't forget to try it."
The overall tone was quite relaxed, but when it came to the last sentence, the teammate's tone couldn't help but become serious.
Nie Hong nodded with great satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Does my own name count?"
"Of course, you can try anything that can make you familiar with it and keep your basic thinking. The name is the most important thing. But in many cases, the name is often the first to be deceived. Without strong concentration and strong stimulation, it is much more difficult than you think to report your own name in the chaos."
Nie Hong said that she had learned something and did not expect there was such little knowledge.
Except for the time when the people of Blue Star first entered the dream world, after the miracle learning system was formed on Blue Star, it was rare for the people to be affected by miracles and accidentally get out of control.
Unless you are trapped in the dream world and cannot escape, everything can be easily solved by finding a teleportation point back to Blue Star. This kind of little knowledge can only be used as a precaution and is difficult to become a real insurance, so it will not be taught systematically.
At this moment, the sound of the activities of the Eternal Night creatures suddenly came from the surrounding darkness.
There seemed to be something going on around.
This is not a strange situation. It would be better to say that after the big commotion that just happened here, it would be strange if these monsters didn't make a little more noise.
They planned to walk past quickly to avoid being involved.
At this moment, a strange, faint purple light flashed in the chaotic darkness.
Dinina suddenly noticed something unusual.
After a sound of two objects colliding, something flew in front of them and rolled crisply on the ground.
"What is that?" someone asked.
Nie Hong followed the sound and touched a hard, crystalline object: "Crystal? Wait, this shape is... Eternal Night Crystal!"
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to him.
"Crystal of Eternal Night!?"
"Why is there an Eternal Night Crystal here?"
"Are there any branch bishops left here?"
"Not necessarily. The Eternal Night Crystals come from the residual power of the Eternal Night. It's not surprising that they exist wild in the Eternal Night."
Everyone outside the sanctuary was an intellectual, and they immediately started talking about it.
Nourishes—
The Eternal Night Crystal once again flashed a faint purple light.
And Dinina, who was looking at that place, also saw the information above with her night eyes.
[Eternal Night Crystal: Fragments of Night...■■■——]
The information displayed in front of me is incomplete.
This is the normal state for Dinina, who only has one eye. How much information can be displayed depends entirely on luck. When luck is bad, you may not see anything.
It’s not like she hadn’t seen the information about the Eternal Night Crystal before. She could even see a little description of the Eternal Night that time, but this time she could not see anything except the beginning.
Somewhat strange.
Suddenly, the information in front of her changed.
[——Those who cannot bear the weight of the night will be crushed by it if they venture into the eternal night. Those who borrow the power of the eyes but do nothing will eventually have to pay the price.]
Every word was like a hammer hitting Dinina's heart.
The information text that had been like a dead object seemed to come alive at this moment.
Then...
"Roar--!"
There came a deafening roar of some wild beast.
No...that was her own voice.
Notice: Due to personal reasons, this book will be cut off and completed. I am really sorry that the story of Anti has come to an end ahead of time. The author is too poor to afford food, so he went back to work. I hope that we can meet again in some book written by someone else in the future!
