Chapter 3 Believe or Not
At the age of twenty-two or three, he was wearing a loose gray cloth robe. The bulging under the cloth robe should be wearing soft leather armor. The chestnut hair that had just reached the shoulder was softly draped over his shoulders, and small gold-wire glasses were mounted on the bridge of his nose. There was an unconcealed bookish atmosphere between his slightly frown eyebrows. His elegant face was clean and refreshing, full of intellectual beauty.
Such an intellectual woman can easily associate her with poetry, literature, opera and other things, but it is too inconsistent to appear in the deserted wilderness with a big sword, especially whenever she sees someone, the panic and shyness on her face cannot be concealed, which makes people unable to imagine the situation when she wields the big sword and kills the enemy.
That's right, the archivist, expert projectionist, Miss Sav Sallivan, is always so afraid of being crazy and shy, and even when he has to talk to outsiders, he will be so scared that he will tremble all over.
Of course, this outsider does not include Shur. She will no longer be afraid in front of Shur. As for shyness...
"Abnormal, bird, beast, astringent." Saf bit her lip, covered her back and stared, and said in a soft voice, "You hit me again...beat me..."
"Okay, OK, it's just a coincidence." Even though I had already laughed out loud in my heart, I still had to pretend to be serious on the surface. "Now I'm obedient in the task, work quickly, otherwise I'll fight again."
"No." Sav subconsciously protected his back again. What was strange was that his face turned redder. He glanced at Shuer strangely and muttered in a low voice, "I know, I'm working."
The female swordsman took off the eight times the space expansion backpack behind her. This backpack with the maximum capacity is enough to carry the daily supplies of mercenaries, but the weight is not reduced at all. Fortunately, as a combat profession, even the weakest mage can bear more than 100 kilograms of weight and will not be overwhelmed by his own luggage.
As if she wasn't the one who was laughing and playing with Shur just now, Suff instantly regained his previous concentration, and quickly took out a few strange-shaped instruments from his backpack, lay on the ground and aimed the instruments in front of him, and crawled around in the arc from time to time, without caring about the image of the lady at all.
Instead, Shuer stood there, standing one step behind Suff, moving with her in a synchronous manner, carved with strange words and exuding soul pressure never left his hand.
After climbing back and forth on the ground for at least a hundred meters, and changing the instrument four or five times, Saf finally stood up with a serious expression and nodded, "Yes, there is indeed an entrance to projection in another world within this range."
The alien projection is one of the three mysterious phenomena in the world of Pavatiga. It was once the most terrifying natural killer of Pavatiga. It will open a space channel in an uncertain place without any signs. The channel has no abnormalities. Once those who are unprepared passers-by come into contact with the channel, they will be sucked in and can never return. For thousands of years, countless innocent people have mysteriously disappeared because of this and will never be found.
Until two thousand years ago, with the help of the gods, scholars finally made progress in their research on projections from otherworlds.
The so-called alien projection is actually because the space barrier of the Pavatiga world is not stable enough. Some areas of any other world in the void invade into the space superposition phenomenon caused by Pavatiga. Once a smart creature passes through the space channel, it will be sucked into a place similar to the temporary sharing area of the two worlds, which is called alien projection. Until the two worlds that are constantly moving in the void are separated from each other, the body and soul are crushed by the interlaced space barrier.
But destruction is not an inevitable result.
After scholars' research, as long as the space weakness can be found before the two worlds are separated, it is what people often call the projection exit and then return to Pavatiga. Although the exit is either near or far, combat professionals can still vaguely detect it with energy sensing. And unlike the uniqueness of the entrance, there are often many exits, and there is a great hope of survival.
Moreover, when you leave, the things you carry with you can be brought back as long as the matter that does not violate the basic rules of the Pavatiga world, including things that did not exist in Pavtiga. Of course, as for the soul, there is no need to consider it. As the most complex part of the world's rules, the soul of any world is based on different rules. As long as creatures that do not belong to Pavtiga pass through the passage of separation, there is no hope of survival, unless like a certain priest, there is a god willing to spend a lot of money to help him reshape his soul and body.
Based on these, a new profession called Shadow Chaser was born. Powerful combat professions ventured into the projection of another world, obtaining substances or items from other worlds and bringing them back to Pavatiga in exchange for high returns.
Unfortunately, the danger in the projection world is too high.
Although due to the opposition of the world barrier to complex souls, there will be no enemy "people" in the projection of another world, and it is a wild place without humans for millions of years. The unlucky person who is projected like Shuer is a rare exception in a thousand years, but even so, facing a random and completely unfamiliar space, no matter how powerful a professional is, he cannot guarantee that he can come back alive.
Therefore, only those explorers who are confident enough in their own strength and are burning with adventurous spirit in their souls will enter and exit the other world more than once. Of course, there are also some idiots who are fantasy and want to get rich overnight and venture into the other world projection, but this kind of survival example is quite rare.
"Yes, the entrance is within this range."
"Uh, you can actually omit this step." Shul sighed and said helplessly, "You know, my energy sensing of the projection in another world is much stronger than you all, and I can already be sure of the range of the entrance."
"No, Shuer, that's not the case." Savage shook his head vigorously. Although he still shyly lowered his head and did not look at Shuer's eyes, his soft voice was firm. "You can't just believe in energy sensing."
"I'm not doubting your judgment, but there are many factors that interfere with energy sensing. In comparison, the results measured by the instrument are more accurate, so this verification is necessary."
"A qualified projection energy surveyor will never make judgments based on energy sensing alone. Really, if Shuer only relies on energy sensing actions in projection in another world, something will definitely happen in the end."
"Yeah." She was silent for a while with a serious expression. She nodded heavily and said seriously, "Thank you, I remember, Teacher Sallivan."
"Hate the ghost, bully others." Saf murmured in a low voice, fleeing a few steps with a red face, plucking up the courage to look at him, thinking about it, then blanched him again, then he fell back on the ground, holding a bunch of auxiliary tools, and starting to write, draw and calculate.
She didn't know that she was involved in the calculation. Behind her, Xiu's serious expression slowly disappeared, and a soft smile appeared on her face.
"It's done." For another whole hour, Shuer stood behind the girl like a javelin. Not only did he hold the caddle in his hand and his warning posture did not change, but he even pinched the curse seal that released the magic technique with his left hand. In the adventure state, he would not be too careful.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Saf lifting the map in front of him. When he was focusing on looking at the map, he naturally changed to a girl holding the hilt of the sword with her hands and using her hearing to warn her around. The change of identity seemed to have become an instinct.
"It's so accurate that it's worthy of being an expert. Let's go, let's go first." Shuer sighed. At least there should be no problem in entering this step.
"Yeah, I'll open the way."
The swordsman and the priest walked together, so naturally the swordsman opened the way. However, the girl took a few deep breaths but never took a step. The position of the two was just the edge of the range that might appear at the entrance, which means that Saff never stepped into the range.
Shuer did not urge or even made a sound, and looked at her back silently, waiting silently.
"Shul, I'm a little scared." Saff's voice trembled with a hint of trembling.
"Yeah, I know."
"If I calculate it wrong, every step I take will be suddenly projected closer to another world, and I may die at any time."
"Yeah, I know."
"How about I count it again, I think I must have calculated it wrong."
"Okay, you can count."
After saying this, Shuer suddenly walked around the girl and stepped into the entrance area first.
"Ah." Saff let out a short but full of horror, and pulled Shul back with red eyes, and he couldn't even care about shyness. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Go to the entrance." Xiuer tilted his head and stared at the girl, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Last time, you repeated six times. How many times do you plan to do this time? Ten times?"
"I, I..." The teeth bit the lips and lost their blood. Saf said anxiously, "Then you can't go in so casually. What if I calculated wrongly? You will be pulled in. Once the entrance is closed, you can only be inside by yourself. Do you think you are a demigod? Want to survive alone in the projection of another world?"
"Sass, have you forgotten something?" Shuer pointed to his nose and said leisurely, "I am special. I can enter and exit freely regardless of the entrance or exit, and it will not cause closure."
Yes, maybe it's because it comes from the projection world, or maybe it's because something changes occurred when crossing the world barrier. Shuer has this special ability, which may have no meaning to normal people, but for shadow-seekers, it's simply a powerful tool to save their lives.
"Uh." The girl's aura was suddenly suppressed. Indeed, everyone knew Shuer's past and knew this special thing, but she just forgot about it with excitement. However, she immediately bulged her momentum again and refused to give in. "You can come out, but you are not going to die. Do you know that among the people who died in the projection, how many of them were killed by the ferocious beasts in the projection before they could react as soon as they showed up?"
"I know, nine percent, oh, no, now it's ten percent."
"Then you broke in? What should I do if you die Lisa?"
"Don't you understand, Sassa, I dare to do this, it has nothing to do with this." Shure stared into the girl's eyes, suddenly laughed, rubbed her chestnut hair, and said softly, "Although you never believe in yourself, I believe Sassa is the most professional. Sassa's calculations will not go wrong, so what else am I worried about?"
Savus looked at Shure's face blankly, as if he had never seen him before.
"So, let's go, don't be dazed." Showing a soothing smile, Shuer turned around and continued to move forward, but with a "bang", his wrist was held again, but this time, the girl did not pull him back, but followed him forward.
He turned his head in surprise and found that the girl was still shy, but the grip strength from her wrist was unquestionable.
"Hey, if we are connected together, we will be pulled in together."
"Yeah, I know."
"I can quit at any time, you can't."
"Yeah, I know."
"Then are you still going crazy like this?" Shuer rolled his eyes.
"Don't you believe my calculations will not go wrong?" The girl returned all the words, "What else are you worried about?"
"Shitshe." Xiuer was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and held Suff's hand in his back, shook his head, "It's okay, but I'm really pulled in. I'll turn around and come back, absolutely don't care about you."
