Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 836: Black Magic

Sora rushed over and found that the new secret room was also a laboratory, but it was not filled with instruments, but various strange occult instruments.

Sue: "This must be René's laboratory. Why is it so pitch black everywhere?"

Paimon huddled behind his friends, "Not only that, I think the atmosphere here is weird!"

In Rene's laboratory, the traveler team found the deep red stone of the snow mountain, the black mud of the abyss, and a ritual array of unknown purpose.

There were some dirty marks on the ritual circle engraved on the floor, and candles with unknown oil composition were scattered around it.

Su was very interested in this mystical-style magic circle. After lighting the candles, he tried to input some elemental power into the carvings.

A crack appeared in the air above the magic circle, and the claws of the Beast Realm Hound poked out from it.

"Swish--" Kong cut off the claws of the Abyss Vanguard with one sword, and the space crack quickly disappeared.

"So it's a magic circle for summoning hounds from the Beast Realm," Su curled his lips in boredom, "but why did Rene summon this thing?"

The answer to this question was found in Rene's experimental records.

Jacob, affected by the power of the abyss, no longer needs to eat, but he still needs to replenish his energy.

Rene deduced that the remains of Erinus could provide Jacob with a good supply of "nutrition", but for safety reasons, he decided to start feeding Jacob with the "black dog monster" which was very similar in nature to Erinus but much weaker.

Sure enough, although Jacob was scared and cried, he felt better after killing all the monsters while crying.

"Black dog monster," Su said in a weird voice, and complained: "This guy is quite good at being cute."

Paimon: "It seems like you, Su, have a lot of problems with Rene."

Sue: "Of course! It's obvious that what he's doing isn't normal research, and he's in cahoots with that Jacob! That! Jacob!"

You bastard! Last time, Erinus was in an emergency and I didn't have time to deal with him, so he escaped. Next time we meet, I will definitely give him a good beating!

Paimeng spread his hands helplessly. If anyone was put on Su's grudge notebook and wanted to get out, he would either have to pay money or his life.

There is more than one magic circle in René's laboratory. Another magic circle is deeper in the room, and there are many cameras around it that were extremely expensive at the time.

This time, the travel team found two handwritten experimental records near the magic circle.

A handwriting with an even more childish tone read: Brother Carter's illness cannot be cured. The doctor in Xumi said that the black scales on his body will increase, and he will completely lose his strength and consciousness.

Although he is stupid, he is different from those stupid and bad guys. He doesn't want Brother Carter to die...

Su: "This symptom... Demonic Scale Disease? A few hundred years ago, it was indeed a terminal illness."

Paimon: "This was written by Jacob, right? I didn't expect that the bad guy who threatened us with Melusin's safety was once so kind."

Next up is Rene’s record.

After informing Carter of the risks and obtaining his consent, Jacob and Rene decided to imitate the accident that year and try to transform Carter into an abyss creature.

There was a long silence.

Actively being infected and transformed by the abyss was not a wise choice, but he could not blame a seriously ill person who wanted to live.

The experiment failed.

Jacob's successful transformation might be a coincidence, or there might be some variable in the experiment that René hasn't grasped yet, or Carter, who is seriously ill, might be unable to sustain the transformation process...

The final result was that the experiment failed, Carter turned into an indescribable pool of meat paste and continued to deteriorate.

Rene's experimental records were written in great detail, so detailed that Paimon would definitely have nightmares after reading them.

Su and Kong looked at each other, tacitly sent Paimon away, and continued to read the experimental records.

Through a series of efforts, Rene successfully preserved Carter's flesh and prevented his deterioration and disintegration.

Even though it has completely lost its human shape, the meat paste still makes the sound of Carter.

Rene, who was recording and observing the experiment, tried to cut out the vocal organs in the meat paste in order to make Jacob stop crying, but the vocal organs would regenerate in just a few days and then make Carter's voice again.

But after a few times, Jacob stopped crying because he no longer saw the puddle of flesh as Carter.

Rene tried many methods and means to restore Carter or extract and transfer his consciousness.

During this process, Rene recruited many researchers from the Academy of Natural Sciences as members of the association, or believers.

Su: "He's so busy, but he still has time to start a cult? I didn't expect that this guy Rene is quite good at deceiving people."

"Association..." Sora stared at the key words, "The association founded by Rene, who came from Narcissus Cross Court, is the Narcissus Cross Association."

Kong couldn't wait to turn to the next page, wanting to know the address of the Narcissus Cross Society.

However, the next page only had a single line of scribbled records:

Alan discovered them, broke up with them, and ran away with Jacob and Carter.

null:…………

Looking at Kong's colorful expression due to his complicated emotions, Su really wanted to laugh a little.

Speaking of which, the most troublesome and difficult task for their Traveler Group was neither defeating a dragon nor dueling with a god...

...but it's a missing person mission!

It’s already difficult to find your own sister, but I didn’t expect that it’s also difficult to find someone else’s sister.

Their initial mission was to find Marian, but the more they dug, the more they found, and they didn't find a single hair of her.

Su patted Kong's shoulder encouragingly, saying everything.

Paimon flew back, "I'm sure we've searched that box, but there's really no new information!"

Sora came back to his senses, "I see, maybe I remembered it wrongly."

Su: "Thank you for your hard work, Paimeng. Let's go ashore and rest for a while."

Paimon nodded repeatedly and couldn't wait to "fly" out of the ruins.

Because of Egolia's blessing, they had underwater vision, and the sea was bright in their eyes, whether day or night.

This is very good and convenient, but it is easy to forget the time and soak in water for several days without noticing.

In other words, the travelers in their team are not ordinary people. How can ordinary people withstand such an intense exploration?

As the traveler team swam out of the ruins, they encountered a conch carried by the ocean current.

As soon as Su Gang grabbed the conch, he heard Villette's voice coming from inside, saying that he needed their help with something and hoped that they could go to his office as soon as possible.

Sue: "This way of delivering a letter... is too mermaid-like!"

She is no longer curious about Villette's dragon form, but she really wants to see him COS as a mermaid in the sea!
