Chapter 650: The weakness of the little broken book?
As for the progress of soul hunting, Zhou Ning essentially left it to Batman's clone, who played the role of vigilante, roaming Nathaniel's darkness. Currently, the progress had reached 29/36, just one step away. Zhou Ning was ready to journey into the depths of the Sea of Mist and complete the journey beyond Heaven.
After waking up, Zhou Ning, who had gained a lot last night, was full of energy and in a very good mood.
Pushing the door into the living room, he saw Richie Burke already up. His expression was complex and filled with awe; it seemed yesterday's experiment had truly shocked him. Across from him, Kelly was already open for business, surrounded by a group of players working on enhancements.
Zhou Ning's gaze passed from her to Hawkeye, who was standing nearby. After arriving at Yukali Island yesterday, he had tasked Hawkeye with meeting with the players and issuing a mission to scout the enemy's position. Now that the key players were nearly all present, the next step was to officially begin team building.
After breakfast, Zhou Ning changed into a white shirt, black jacket, and a deerstalker hat, and headed out in a completely different look. Today, he planned to continue preparing for the decisive battle and take a look around the island. With his current mental strength, it would be difficult for the other party to escape his detection unless they were deliberately hiding.
He left a mirror mark in the mirror in the hotel. Once he encountered danger, he would immediately use the mirror jump to return to the mirror. This could minimize the danger. Sometimes it was difficult to distinguish between the hunter and the prey... Before going out, Zhou Ning thought for a few seconds, took out the gambler's dice, and threw it out.
This is an unknown strange object that can determine the good or bad luck of an event by throwing dice. The dice rolled around on the table and stopped at 5.
The prediction was successful. This was a "quite lucky" revelation. Zhou Ning walked out of the hotel door carrying the cane disguised as "King of Heaven" and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
There used to be two rows of neatly trimmed Sifalik mangroves planted on both sides of the road, but after just one night, the mangroves on both sides of the road seemed to have grown wildly for decades. Their branches and leaves were lush everywhere, covering half of the sky. Even the grass and trees in the roadside flower beds suddenly became very lush, full of a wild atmosphere.
It's a bit like being soaked in the tides of life.
"It's very weird... It's possible that this is a precursor to some kind of disaster. In fact, there were signs of this situation last night, such as the sudden appearance of giant rats in the hotel." Zhou Ning exhaled slowly and didn't immediately think about why these things always happened to him.
This is definitely not because I am unlucky, but because of the protagonist's halo.
The protagonist's halo will unconsciously attract some extraordinary people or supernatural events related to the main storyline to gather around him.
However, when I think about the crazy growth of seaweed on the sea some time ago, I always feel that the unknown divine power in Archbishop Edward is a bit strange, and may be related to life.
While Zhou Ning was thinking, he stopped a carriage and headed for the downtown area on the west side of the island. What surprised Zhou Ning was that after one night, the wildebeest pulling the carriage had grown a lot bigger, but fortunately it was still very docile.
Because Yukali Island is said to be a former Dragon Island, while dragons are now almost impossible to find, they are recognized as stalwarts. Many creatures here are said to have a trace of dragon bloodline, such as wildebeests and thunder lizards. Yukali Island's wildebeests are often sold at exorbitant prices elsewhere. The pet market here is also extremely famous.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in the downtown area. The journey of about 17 kilometers took only a little more than 10 minutes, but the price was 1.5 times that of an ordinary carriage, starting at 6 roshen.
Across from here is the former headquarters of the West Farik Kingdom Archaeological Association. According to Smith Hall, Rick Green killed everyone here yesterday. Zhou Ning came here specially to see if he could find any clues.
The Archaeological Association's headquarters was a two-story house with a garden. After jumping off the carriage, Zhou Ning could see a huge dent on the side of the house. He didn't know what it was formed by.
At this time, the door of the house was half-open. After Zhou Ning walked in, he found that Smith Hall was not there. Instead, Elsa was busy here with a group of professionals. A group of players took the initiative and followed them to chat, trying to trigger the task.
Elsa is currently a relatively advanced super-class professional, a core member of the Church of the God of War, and is considered Smith Hall's deputy. Zhou Ning walked over and asked:
"Where's Smith Hall? Have you found anything here?"
"The captain led a search of the dock area. The ship brought by the Archaeological Association is anchored there," Elsa replied. "As for this place... nothing has been found yet. Due to some limitations, True Sight doesn't work here. We only know that it was Rick Green who did it. Everyone on the archaeological team is dead, except for Rick Green and a super-class meteorologist named Terry Brown."
"After investigation, it was found that the two men did not know each other before, and Terry Brown was recruited by the other party from Tartarus Island."
"Also, I don't know if it's a trap, but Rick Green seems to be injured, and he was hit by a meteor..." Elsa's voice was a little hesitant, and it was obvious that she found it hard to believe that someone could be so unlucky.
Zhou Ning: ...
Could he say that he had only been nearly hit by a meteor three or four times? He remembered the huge dent he had seen before entering the door and understood its source.
However, this matter is a bit strange. He was hit by the meteor because of the backlash after using the Lucky Clover, but why was Rick Green so unlucky?
Zhou Ning frowned at first, muttered to himself silently, and then had a vague idea:
"Even if it's a miraculous item, it's impossible for the little book to forcibly change fate without a price. Because there's a saying in mysticism: All gifts bestowed by fate have a price secretly marked on them. So is it possible that every time you forcibly change your fate, you have to pay a price, and this price is similar to a lucky clover, which is luck?"
"If that's the case, now is the perfect time to deal with Karl Robbins and Little Broken Book. No one in this world understands the destructive power of bad luck better than I do."
The more Zhou Ning thought about it, the more it made sense. He walked around the house and squatted in the area where the spiritual remnants were the strongest. He wanted to spy on what these people saw before they died and confirm whether his thoughts were true.
He lit candles and incense on the ground, and the surroundings were filled with a unique aroma mixed with "Horace grass" and essential oils. Zhou Ning's mind flowed through some of the mystical knowledge that Qiu Dao Yu had instilled in him when he achieved demigodhood.
He had performed similar psychic rituals before, which would detect the memories of the relevant "spirits" and respond to them.
The wind suddenly blew, and the candle was stained with a layer of gray mist, and the surroundings suddenly became cold.
Zhou Ning just saw a blurry figure appear, but then one of the candles in the middle suddenly went out, which was a symbol of the failure of the spiritual communication.
"Is this... blocked by the little broken book?" Zhou Ning's mouth twitched slightly. He extinguished the remaining candles, replaced the incense, and relit them one by one, deciding to make a second attempt.
But half a minute later, failure still awaited him. This time, he didn't even see the shadow. Zhou Ning shook his head slowly. It seemed that he could only wait until Patriarch Roger came in the afternoon. The opponent's secret law was the key to breaking the deadlock.
There was still some time left, so Zhou Ning planned to go to the market ahead to see if he could collect some materials for making "Evil Ghost Haunted" and "God's Hand: Perfectionist" to prepare for the decisive battle.
