The body of Baroye, whose head had burst open, swayed twice, and soon another head sprang up from its neck, its features smooth and black as ever.
“Beautiful lady, the loyal Baroye does his best to serve you and fulfil your wishes.”
It said in a flattering tone.
“Don’t waste your strength.”
Next to her, Song Shiyi reminded, “Wishing Spirits can’t be killed here. They are something that doesn’t live or die, so it’s best to leave them alone.”
Through Isabelle’s perspective, Lu Yao discovered that there was also a Wishing Spirit following next to Song Shiyi. It similarly rambled on and on, but it was completely impossible to hear what it was saying.
It seemed that each Wishing Spirit corresponded to a person, and the dialogue with each other was closed.
Similar to their respective customer pitches?
Lu Yao focused his attention on the crossbands.
It was also night here, and a faint fog lingered in all directions. The streets and green belts could still be seen around, but there were some subtle differences in certain places.
The street in front of us looks normal, but further on the road surface lifts upwards, like a giant curly hair, all the way up to the sky.
To Isabel’s right was a shared bicycle, which was the transport Lu Yao was most familiar with. At this moment, this bicycle was collapsing its wheels and its body kept on warring.
Not long after, a palm-sized miniature shared bicycle ran out from the back of the bicycle. It was twisted and turned, and drove all the way towards the street in front.
The ground was covered with cracks everywhere, as if it would collapse downwards if it was slightly overweight.
The ground also sank and floated when Isabel’s feet stepped on it.
In the air were equal-sized grey slabs made of clouds, with slight gaps and light showing between them, like an artificially created dome of heaven, giving a grotesque sense of foreign objects.
“Crossbands are like that.”
Seeing Isabel’s curiosity, Song Shiyi said, “The overlapping of different worlds will make something that is originally normal become unalienated, cross and nest each other, and turn into a dynamic and chaotic form.”
Lu Yao did immediately understand this sandwich world.
It’s not just about wearing moulds.
The two worlds crossed, moulded into each other and became what they are now.
There’s still something to be said for your own years of gaming experience.
It was an empty environment, and there were no attack orientated monsters out and about, and at a glance you couldn’t see anything that looked like it was alive, except for Baroye who was still whispering in his ear.
“Miss, you know what? This world is a remarkable place. The so-called gods are nothing more than pets raised in this world, and to put it bluntly, this place is equivalent to a god ranch.”
“As long as they are constantly nurtured, some fine products can always be born out of the pets, right?”
“It’s the same here. This world has given birth to countless title gods, even the main gods, and there are quite a few of them, some of which are quite outstanding, and they’re expendable for impacting the Ultra Limit Zone.”
……
Needless to say, the words of the wishing spirit were extremely seductive.
Lu Yao didn’t know if what it said was true or not. Still, the powerful information quickly aroused his interest.
No way.
Safety first.
Must treat everything it says as fart.
There are not many ways to deal with an undead wish-granting spirit other than putting up with its chanting-like sales pitch.
Song Shiyi said the committee had tried various methods, including special earplugs, acoustic interference and even nerve blocks, all to no avail.
Wishing spirits appear to be talking, but their essence is a special kind of information radiation. As long as people are in the crossbelt, there is no way to avoid their information intrusion.
In other words, Wishing Spirits are like a body of information. They kept wandering and spreading in the closed wasteland world until the day they theoretically ran out of energy.
Lu Yao was sceptical on this basis.
The Wishing Spirits had been trying to communicate with people, could it be that they were trying to intervene with people and get the nutrients and materials they needed from them?
In order to gain more information, Lu Yao ordered Isabelle to activate the [Spell of True Vision].
Before entering the Crossbelt, he had configured many props for Isabelle to use in case of emergencies.
In the pixel world of the low boundary dimension, the simulator would help the player gain insight into various data. But leaving the simulator’s real world, the player lost this ability.
Lu Yao wanted to try and see if the Spell of True Sight could fill the gap. Anyway, with the Mystery of Life, Isabelle’s blood was enough.
The Spell of True Sight was like a living tattoo that was imprinted on Isabelle’s body, and it couldn’t be seen from the outside at all.
Isabelle lost 500 points of life, and an upside-down A was revealed in her vision.
A number of dense, tiny symbols emerged from Baroye’s body, which were nested within each other like some sort of seals and barriers.
However, under the [Spell of True Vision], the chain formed by the many symbols broke one by one, and they scattered and then quickly combined, turning into a detailed data panel.
……

[Speech Spirit Exclusive Ability]

……
At this moment, the [Spell of True Sight] showed its value.
The enigmatic Wishing Spirit revealed its original form under this Lord God level spell.
Lu Yao recognised it.
Wishing Spirits were indeed immortal, at least in this wasteland world.
They can be symbiotic, and individuals can merge with each other.
Then there is the key to wishing for a spirit.
They keep rambling on and on, not only compelling, but also unleashing the [Spirit of Words].
Song Shiyi said that you can’t go into the crossbelt for too long or you’ll get lost in it. That was essentially what was going on.
The longer the Wishing Spirit whispered in the ear, the stronger the effect of the Wordspirit became. It was equivalent to a spell that grew infinitely over time, and in the end, no one could top it.
The [Long-Wished-for Cloister] is the Wishing Spirit killer spell.
They use spells to fulfil the wishes of wish granters, making them so engrossed that they are completely unable to leave.
This ability is difficult for ordinary people to resist.
However, wish-granting spirits have their own limitations.
They have no ability to fight directly, and must rely on the Spirit of Speech and the Longing Cloister to lure and disorientate outsiders. It is relatively safe to keep a tight rein on the time spent in the Crossbelt and not generate conversation with them.
It’s best to capture a Wishing Spirit, that way you get the most complete information.
As Lu Yao was pondering, Song Shiyi suddenly said, “Found it.”
There was a young man sitting in the green belt in front of him. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, his back leaning against a twisting cypress tree, his mouth rambling about something. Next to the young man also sat a Wishing Spirit, and from a distance, it looked like two friends sitting and chatting.
Song Shiyi felt out her mobile phone and checked the facial features of the person in front of her.
“It’s one of the missing persons.”
A star ring emerged behind her back, and a white cloth flew out from it. With a roll of the white cloth, the young man was wrapped into a mummy, and was suddenly unable to move.
“Please help me take him out and send him to safety, I’ll look for him again here.”
Isabel said, “I’ll stay, you take him out. I’m not familiar with the outside process.”
“Fine. Then please wait for me, give me five minutes.”
Song Shiyi dragged the mummy-wrapped person all the way out from the floor and temporarily turned back outside.
As soon as the female prosecutor disappeared, Isabelle immediately acted on Lu Yao’s orders.
She first raised the [Statue of the Stripper] in her hand and aimed it at the Wishing Spirit that was lobbying at the side.
Beastification Ceremony, open.
Baroye didn’t flee to avoid it at all, and was still unleashing the Wishing Spirit. However, faced with the influence of the Flayer’s Statue, the Wishing Spirit’s impassioned and rapid voice gradually became sluggish and dull.
Useful.
Lu Yao’s spirit lifted.
Then, Isabelle took out the [Weeping Amber] with her other hand and chanted under her breath, “Old folk of the seabed, forget and slumber.”
Driven by the incantation, the amber stretched out countless syrupy yellow soft limbs. It sealed the unresisting Wishing Spirit in a yellowish solid, then shrunk back into Isabelle’s hand.
The arrest was successful!
Trophy in hand.
As soon as Baroye was gone, another wishing spirit came through a crack in the ground.
“Greetings, beautiful lady. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Cynthia and it is a great honour to serve you. May I ask what you wish for?”
Lu Yao sighed in relief at this.
As expected, the Wishing Spirits were all competing for customers, but wherever there was a vacancy they immediately had someone to fill it. They didn’t care about the disappearance of their kind.
Ten minutes later, Song Shiyi returned again.
With an apologetic face, she said, “That person had some conditions, he has been vomiting and seeping blood from his mouth and nose …… I gave him a simple first aid and checkup, so there was a delay. Now Ming Zai is watching him and is still waiting for an ambulance.”
Isabel nodded, “It’s okay.”
