Facing Lin Tuo's question, Mount Sinai, who was slender and serious, did not answer immediately, but took two steps back and opened the door behind him.
Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows, stepped in and threw Hathaway on the back seat.
Mount Sinai sat in the driving position.
When the low roar sounded and the vehicle moved towards the vent not far away, Mount Sinai said at this time:
"According to your instructions, we organized a large number of personnel to analyze and sample the spiritual life, and found that it is a life body with a very special structure.
‘There is no accurate judgment at present, but the guess may be related to the spiritual power of people. We even suspect that it is composed of both spiritual power and magic power..."
After a pause, Mount Sinai, holding the steering wheel, carefully looked at Lin Tuo's expression in the rearview mirror, and then said:
"The specific report is available from Ms. Hathaway. You can read it at any time.
As for the torture of it, it has begun to bear fruit. We tried to use some magic methods to impose punishment on it.
At first, it was very stiff, but after all it was relieved and willing to communicate with us, but it made a request..."
"It wants to talk to me?" Lin Tuo asked calmly.
"Yes," Mount Sinai said with a weird expression. "It claims to be the lord of the spirit world, requires treatment that matches its identity, claims that it is willing to negotiate, but only wants to talk to the person who defeated it, that is, you..."
"Of course, according to our judgment, it is likely to be less rigid, but to be cautious, I still ask Ms. Hathaway to pass its request to you."
Spirit Lord?
Lin Tuo was curious, thought about it, and said:
"Everything is here, then see you."
Sinai was not surprised. While driving, he continued to report the recent situation, including Ning Li Ningmeng brothers and sisters, and their work these days.
Not long after the vehicle stopped at the foot of the mountain, how many people got off the vehicle and crossed the cordon? All the way to the battlefield that day.
This side has been transformed into a research site? There are extraordinary guards around the clock, but the specific facilities are not on the surface? They are underground.
When Lin Tuo followed Mount Sinai and flew straight into the vent, he sank for about several tens of meters, and the downside suddenly brightened.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge energy shield east of the center of the vent.
’It’s not a prison cage, it’s bigger than that.
I cast my line of sight? You can see that the inside is a platform? There are machines, temporary housing, and researchers walking.
"This is the outer protective cover, which is mainly used as a warning." Mount Sinai introduced, "There are two more layers inside? One layer is both defensive and sound? The field of vision is blocked, and the inner layer is the forbidden cage."
While speaking, a rune appeared in the palm of Mount Sinai, opening a gap in the energy shield, and Lin Tuo suddenly felt bright and unusual when he entered the moment.
Seeing Sinai lead people flying in, some eyes were cast? But soon they moved away. Few people here knew Lin Tuo.
"this way please."
Mount Sinai dressed in a black windbreaker? Walked into an oval building in the center of the hall.
Passing through the corridor, there is a second layer of magic cover? Here? There are only a handful of people? Seeing Mount Sinai coming, they left tacitly.
Standing outside the second-layer magic hood, you can already see the much smaller imprisonment cage inside, as well as the faint single-eyed giant floating in it.
"It doesn't seem to notice you and me." Lin Tuo glanced at it and said.
Mount Sinai explained: "One-sided vision is opened on the second floor, and the outside scene cannot be seen inside. Do you want to enter immediately?"
"Yep."
Seeing Lin Tuo nodded, she passed a small remote control in her hand, and briefly explained how to use it:
"If it doesn't cooperate, you can use this to impose punishment on it. After entering the second floor, your conversation with it will not spread."
Lin Tuo glanced at her, didn't say anything, took it with a smile, and nodded:
"well."
Mount Sinai leaned over slightly, then backed away, leaving here not long after.
"Tsk tsk, I must say that I am working in a government department. This vision is good, knowing that leaders should avoid talking..." Hathaway was surprised.
Lin Tuo glanced at her, gave her a hand, and threw her on the ground:
"Get out by yourself, you too."
"I don't!" Hathaway akimbo, just uttered two words, kicked Lin Tuo away, and yelled out of the building.
Comfortable!
After sighing, Lin Tuo stepped through the second magic barrier.
The moment he entered, the single-eyed giant who was originally haunted suddenly woke up in the cage!
It still maintains its original shape, but the body is translucent, and only the size of an ordinary person, with a weak breath.
"It's you!"
Seeing Lin Tuo, it screamed, and subconsciously floated backwards and hit the cage. Part of the area suddenly lit up, making a roar like a collision between gold and iron.
"I heard that you want to see me?" Lin Tuo looked at each other with a flat expression, "It seems that you are willing to cooperate."
"I am willing to tell what I know," the one-eyed giant calmed down at this time, and tried his best to show the majesty of the "lord" through the barrier of the prison cage, "but it requires a price."
"cost?"
"Yes, when you know the information you want, let me return to the spirit world."
Lin Tuo glanced at it in surprise, and said with a smile:
"Why do you think I will promise you?"
The one-eyed giant seemed to be ready to speak, the bleak figure floated, and a languid eye stared at Lin Tuo:
"First of all, I am weak enough now, and you are strong enough, even if you let me go, I can't cause any harm to your world. I just want to return to the spiritual world.
Secondly, since you designed to arrest me, it shows that the information I know is valuable, and you kill me and get nothing. "
"Just like this?" Lin Tuo curiously asked:
"If I don't agree, continue to torture you, I'm really curious how long you can last."
Hearing the word torture, the one-eyed giant's illusory body trembled for a while, obviously a little scared, but he still said seriously:
"My current state is already the weakest.
If you continue to use torture several times, it will affect my origin, and this may cause the loss of my own memory.
Besides, if I really can't survive, at least I have the ability to commit suicide. "
Lin Tuo was silent and said:
"But I can also pretend to promise you, first cheat you to tell me the information I want, and then kill you... You should know that I can't let you go first."
"Of course I know." The one-eyed giant seemed to be excited when he heard this, and said, "But, if you let go, the value I can get is greater."
With that said, it seemed to hold its back:
"I am the lord of the spirit world. I know that those of you who live in the material world need power from the spirit world, and as long as you let me go, I can pay a certain ransom.
It can even help you completely repair the candle...if it is not completely damaged.
Although I am not sure what the so-called behind you is, since you know the existence of the spirit world, you should understand that cooperating with a lord can completely offset some dangers. "
‘No...I don’t understand. ’
Lin Tuo muttered something in his heart, and immediately became more vigilant, his doubts arose, but there was no wave of calm on his face.
After a long silence, he said:
"Whether to cooperate depends on whether the information you provide satisfies me."
"of course."
The one-eyed giant seemed to be relieved. In fact, it didn't have certain expectations for this transaction, but compared to the mortal ending, it felt that it could at least struggle.
In other words, the conversation with Lin Tuo was originally a gambling game. It was Lin Tuo's greed. As long as he was greedy for greater benefits, he would have hope of survival.
Thinking of this, the one-eyed giant seemed to be calmer and said:
"So, what do you want to know from me?"
Lin Tuo thought about it and said:
"Then start from your so-called lord status.
I am very curious about what you are in the spiritual world and in what state you exist.
Well, maybe I should ask first, in your understanding, what is the spiritual world and what is its relationship with the material world? "
He didn't try to hide his "ignorance".
Not only is there no outsiders here, but also because as long as he asks, it is impossible to hide it.
The expression of the monocular giant really changed, obviously more relaxed:
"It seems you really know very little about us."
Seeing Lin Tuo raise his eyebrows, the spirit world lord trembled in his heart, and hurriedly reduced his "arrogant" mood, showed humility as much as possible and said:
"Then let me explain to you..."
As he said, it pondered, seeming to sort out its thoughts:
"First of all, the spiritual world, um, this word is what you call it, and I will refer to it like that.
For us, the spiritual world is the world we live in. No, compared to the world based on real and tangible substances, the spiritual world is hard to call a "world". Its interior is chaotic. , Is also chaotic.
It has no boundaries and coexists with the universe of the material world.
It does not have time, or that even those of us who were born in the spirit world, it is difficult to accurately grasp the existence of ‘time’.
Only when you come into contact with the material world occasionally and perceive its changes, can you feel the passage of time..."
"Ah, this seems too complicated to say, in fact I don't know much about it.
My understanding of the spiritual world is just like your understanding of all things in the universe...Well, I only understand a small part, and more mysteries are still unknown. "
"As for the relationship between the spiritual world and the physical world, it is not so much coexistence, but I prefer to call it intercommunication, or overlap.
For most of the time, the two worlds are unable to perceive the other's existence, and only in occasional gaps will there be intercommunication...
This is not the intercommunication of magic, but the intercommunication of life.
For example, a spiritual lord like me comes over, or higher intelligent beings such as human beings enter our world. "
Lin Tuo interrupted it suddenly:
"Humanity entered your world? In which way?"
"As far as I know, there are three ways, but there are not necessarily only three," the one-eyed giant explained:
"The first is that some people with extremely strong spirituality, such as Ning Li, can open up the passage into the spiritual world in the consciousness space, and then enter."
"Second, I'm not completely sure, but it should be correct, that is, after death of your beings in the material world, their souls, or mental power aggregates, will automatically enter the spiritual world."
"Third, some civilizations will enter directly through special methods. Yes, they carry real substances and enter directly with flesh and blood. Of course, there are very few civilizations that can do this, and they often only use the spiritual world Jump between stars."
"Interstellar jump?" Lin Tuo's eyes moved slightly, he interrupted, and a storm rose in his heart.
