1. Stranger(2/3)
The core of the ball exuding black energy was almost touching the tip of Lu Yu's nose.
Even at such a close distance, Lu Yu could not find the mouth or eyes of this thing.
He was also surprised that in this situation, his first reaction was to look for these two things.
"You can hear me, right?"
The melodious female voice suddenly raised her voice, revealing uncontrollable joy in her anxiety.
Lu Yu felt very bad. He was pushed to the ground. If he hadn't immediately protected his head, he would probably have passed out now.
It's not a good thing that he didn't pass out. Lu Yu's vision was completely obscured by the black mist. The female voice kept blasting in Lu Yu's mind at this moment, like two tweeters roaring next to his ears.
Now I can be sure that it is this ball shrouded in black mist that is talking to me.
Fighting back his headache, Lu Yu yelled to shut up, but Heiwu didn't seem to hear him, repeating the same sentence like a repeater.
The high-pitched sound that kept echoing in his mind finally made Lu Yu give up his resistance. His vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
After Lu Yu passed out, the black mist's tentacles stopped moving.
She muttered in confusion in a voice that only she could hear.
"Can anyone actually hear my voice?"
When Lu Yu woke up again, he was in a tree hole. Just like when he fell asleep the first day, he fell in the innermost part of the tree hole.
He touched his body and checked whether it was intact, and then he saw the black mist in the tree hole at a glance.
The cold wind howled outside the tree hole, and from time to time, cold wind penetrated into the tree hole, making Lu Yu couldn't help but shiver. There was already a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the dead leaves were whitened by the snow.
It seemed like a whole night had passed, but unexpectedly it had started to snow, which made Lu Yu a little worried about whether he could survive this winter.
The black mist also noticed Lu Yu's awakening, and it slowly floated up from the ground.
Lu Yu was afraid that the black mist would be as agitated as before, so he quickly stretched out his hand to stop it from floating towards him.
"It's forbidden to be a repeater and it's forbidden to speak loudly!"
It wouldn't matter if he fell into a coma after losing his SAN. Yesterday, he was completely stunned by the sound of the black mist.
"You can hear me, right?"
The female voice sounded again, this time much softer.
Lu Yu nodded, and then asked: "Who are you? Why do you speak my language?"
An awkward silence fell, and the black mist retracted its tentacles and slowly floated to Lu Yu's side.
"Nodding means understanding. I understand. Your language is very strange. I have never heard such a strange language. I am using spiritual magic as a bridge to talk to you. I am meditating on what you want to say. I can feel it.
Some."
"Can you tell me where you are from?"
Lu Yu was dumbfounded, and then he suddenly realized that no wonder Heiwu didn't react at all even if he shouted "shut up" last night.
They didn't know their own language at all, so it was in vain that Lu Yu thought that Chinese still had a place in another world.
He tried the method that Heiwu told him and started thinking about it in his mind.
After trying several times in a row, Lu Yu finally successfully connected with the black mist.
"I also have a question, do we each get what we need?"
Hei Wu was silent for a long time.
"I'm sorry, it's difficult for me to maintain mental magic now. Your words are very vague and it will take some time..."
"I got it. I agree to your request."
It turns out that the Internet speed is too slow.
"Who are you?" Lu Yu became more and more confused about this strange-looking black mist.
After a while, the voice came over.
"Lulutis, a magician." After Black Mist finished speaking, he asked curiously, "It's your turn, who are you?"
Lu Yu touched his head and introduced himself: "Lu Yu, in terms of occupation... I came to this strange world just after graduation. I am an unemployed vagrant."
Lu Yu discovered that after he finished speaking, the mist around Heiwu would flow rapidly. Could this be a sign that Heiwu was fully processing what he said?
"Lu Yu...a very unusual name, like someone from an area ruled by an ancient country that I have heard of. In addition, please don't mention the irrelevant things next. Now I...well, I can't maintain this magic well.
"
Lu Yu could also see that Hei Wu was uncomfortable. Every time she conveyed a message, a large amount of black mist would escape from her body, and her voice would also tremble a little.
Is it painful to speak?
"Where is this place?" Lu Yu asked.
"I don't know where this is, I just arrived in this area not long ago."
Lulutis asked: "You are not from this world, right? I can feel that you are not a summoned object. The key is that you can hear my voice."
There was no way to hide this. The language system was different, and the other person was a knowledgeable magician, so Lu Yu nodded and acknowledged this fact.
But he was really curious about what Lulutis said at the end.
“If I can hear your voice, then I’m not from this world?”
Unable to maintain communication, Lulutis fell to the ground and rested for a while before slowly explaining the reason to Lu Yu.
Lulutis was originally a human magician. About a month ago, she conducted a special magic experiment in her mansion.
During the experiment, a mutation was suddenly discovered. The magic elements constructing the ritual were disordered, sweeping through the entire laboratory, destroying the potion she was developing, and eventually causing an explosion.
If it was just an explosion, it wouldn't actually be a big problem.
Lu Yu said in shock: "Isn't the problem a big problem?"
If this is not a big problem, then what is?
Sure enough, when we come to a different world, the boundaries of common sense need to be expanded as soon as possible.
"I'm a magician. Ordinary explosions can't hurt me at all. This explosion is a little unexpected."
Lu Yu stared blankly at Lulutis, who said that he once looked like a human being, and then looked at the ball exuding black mist...
A little unexpected?
Lulutis herself did not expect that the magic flow that swept through the entire laboratory would continue to spurt out on a large scale at the moment of the explosion.
The storage room where she stored a large number of magic scrolls, ritual magic, and magic contracts, and the study room...resonated under the disturbance of the magic flow.
"Sorry, you just said that it should be simpler. This is good for you and me. Overall..."
Lu Yu begged, "How about speaking human words?"
Lulutis' swaying tentacles froze.
"All my magic scrolls were triggered by mistake."
According to Lulutis's own conjecture, the potion changed her body shape. At the point when she was at her weakest, ritual magic, transfer scrolls, and the seal of the magic contract all took effect.
This also caused Lulutis to turn into the black fog, spherical core, and full of ghost appearance now, and she came to this strange place.
"Well, what does this have to do with your inability to communicate?"
"The sealing effect of contract magic. This magic is used for punishment. It is originally very ineffective for magicians of my level, but... in short, it's good if you know that this is a sealing effect."
Lulutis who became like this was about the same time as Lu Yu arrived at this point.
It's just that Lulutis looks worse.
Lu Yu just couldn't communicate with people in this world, but he still had a body that could integrate into normal society.
As for Lulutis...she tried to communicate with the magicians she encountered in the wild, but the answer was fireballs.
If that magician was not a beginner, Lulutis would have been dissected as a strange monster.
The effectiveness of the seal was much more powerful than Lu Yu imagined. Lulutis tried to use spiritual magic to communicate with monsters with slightly low-level intelligence. As a result, these monsters became manic without exception.
It's hard to tell whether this is an effect of his own medicine or the impact of the contract itself.
"Where's the text?"
"The written words will be distorted, making it impossible to read... I think one thing, but my body will unknowingly write other things under the influence of the contract seal."
"Damn, you magicians are really good at playing with such a powerful seal!" Lu Yu was shocked.
When the weak Lulutis heard what Lu Yu said, she was silent for a while, sighed, and did not correct Lu Yu's wrong statement.
There should be very few copies of this contract in the world.
An explosion destroyed many treasures in the mansion.
After I go back, can I recover some losses...
After all, can I still go back? How long will it take to go back?
All kinds of questions suddenly came to mind, and Lulutis was left helpless.
To be continued...
