Chapter 3, Witchcraft and Murder

Then, its two claws slowly elongated, resembling sharp ghostly talons, as it approached Yin Sheng step by step

At that moment, a sudden sound like a thunderclap rang out: "Someone, come quickly! Something has happened!"

His expression slightly changed: "Are you injured? Losing so much blood?"

However, another thought emerged, telling Yin Shengzhi that this was by no means a nightmare, but rather a form of nightmare suppression sorcery

At this moment, Yin Shengzhi closed his eyes and turned his gaze inward, only to find a hollow space between his eyes, within his skull, where a faint light glimmered.

Mage

Yin Shengzhi suddenly felt a slight relaxation in his body. In a moment of impulse, he bit his tongue sharply, and a spurt of blood from his tongue sprayed onto the figure.

However, after the complaints, my heart is filled with confusion, and I cannot think clearly. What exactly is a fool's machine?

Yin Shengzhi, however, was suddenly filled with complaints in his heart

Yin Sheng's gaze slightly narrowed, having already recognized that this was indeed the attire of a mage

Yin Sheng was gasping for breath, he was able to move again

At this moment, Yin Shengzhi murmured to himself, could it be that the dream was not a dream? But rather a memory from his previous life?

The shadow unexpectedly let out a tragic cry of "ah," emitting a hissing sound from its body. It was as if what Yin Sheng had sprayed onto it was not blood from the tip of his tongue, but rather concentrated sulfuric acid.

The mage immediately waved his hand, and a gendarme clad in steel armor stepped forward to take a photograph of Yin Shengzhi.

I had only seen it from a distance before; to speak of it, this is truly the first time I have scrutinized it up close. Under the glow of the flames, even this white-robed mage exudes an indescribable aura of solemnity and menace

A truly outdated camera ... ... not even as good as a point-and-shoot ... ...

It is indeed the result of witchcraft. Let me first help you with your injuries, and we will discuss other matters with the school's higher authorities later

Only the Divine Concealment, also known as the Divine Aperture, is said to be able to open the portal for mortals to access the divine, thereby obtaining even more incredible powers

Following that, the shadow suddenly disappeared into the crack of the door, vanishing without a trace

"Dream, could it be that this is truly still within a dream of a dream?" Yin Shengzhi inquired

Following them, they made way to the left and right, revealing a middle-aged man with golden hair, dressed in a white robe embroidered with a golden thread, who walked in

All of this seemed like a scene from a nightmare, and what was even more dire was that at this moment, Yin Sheng was completely unable to move.

A sudden sound erupted, startling in the dark night, causing even the shadow to pause slightly

At that moment, the white-robed mage stepped forward, took out a pinch of medicinal powder, sprinkled it on Yin Shengzhi's wound, and then began to chant a spell

This divine concealed fruit is indeed the Spirit Platform, also known as the Heavenly Heart! I never expected that in this world, there are actually people who can use medicine to enable ordinary individuals to unlock this place... I really want to get my hands on that enlightenment needle and see how it is concocted

Someone has cast dark magic against themselves; as long as they are killed by this shadow, they will truly die

After a few barks from the dog, everything fell silent

At the brink of life and death, through this pain, Yin Sheng's mind suddenly became clear, yet he was still completely unable to move, only able to watch helplessly as he faced his own demise

Has a thief broken in

A faint glimmer of light gathered at Yin Shengzhi's wound, which was a good four to five inches long, and it slowly closed up at a visibly perceptible speed, eventually forming a scab

This feeling is as if Yin Shengzhi is still trapped in a nightmare and has not yet awakened

This is a preparatory military academy

And in this realm, it is called the Divine Repository

"Master Mage, someone just used the Nightmare Suppression Technique against me!" Yin Shengzhi exclaimed urgently

Especially when Yin Shengzhi saw a shadow slipping in through the crack of the door like a piece of paper, then stretching its body as if yawning, it expanded like an inflated balloon, transforming into a humanoid shadow

The door to the room was kicked open, and the flickering light shone in... It was as if someone armed with a weapon and carrying a lantern had barged in with great force...

At that moment, a cold pain struck his abdomen, and in a daze, he realized that the shadow had already made its move, its claws had sliced open his skin, and blood was flowing profusely

And the place that is opened, in the memory of that person in the dream, is called the "Mud Pill," the "Spirit Platform," and the "Sea of Consciousness"

It is said that some, upon activating the divine repository, even awaken memories from their previous life

The surroundings are exceedingly quiet, devoid of cicada chirps or insect songs, and even the sound of the wind is absent, resulting in a pervasive silence.

Oh, you are the person from Qi who opened the divine aperture yesterday? Upon seeing Yin Shengzhi, the mage's expression softened slightly.

One could only watch helplessly as this faceless creature, bearing a strange smile, approached Yin Shengzhi, its claws seemingly imbued with a chilling aura, drawing closer to him.

When the vital energy is abundant, the spirit is also vigorous; when the vital energy declines, the spirit also weakens. The soul is the flame of the corporeal body, while the corporeal body is the foundation of the soul. The corporeal body, being yin, governs storage and reception, thus it is capable of internal memory

The nightmarish situation just now was actually real; had he not resisted earlier, he would likely be a corpse by now

Amidst the flickering lights, several gendarmes clad in Western-style iron armor, wielding steam-powered chainsaw swords, strode in with great strides

Yin Shengzhi slowly recited a passage of scripture from his dreams, which seemed to reflect his current situation. Deep within his soul, there still lay the experiences of his past life; as long as he could unlock them, he would be able to awaken the knowledge of his previous existence

It is too quiet

The dual claws were gesturing between his abdomen, and even before the sharp sensation made contact with his body, there was already a feeling of confronting a sharp weapon

Yin Shengzhi then lowered his head and discovered that a large gash had been cut open on his abdomen. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep and had not completely severed his belly; nonetheless, it was still bleeding profusely

The magnesium powder of the flash burned, emitting a burst of flame. With the sound of a click, Yin Shengzhi's wound was captured, leaving behind documentary evidence

Yin Shengzhi murmured to himself, yet at that moment, he seemed to hear a few barks from a dog, whimpering as if it were very frightened, the sound low and subdued, and in the blink of an eye, it fell silent...

The white-robed mage revealed an appreciative smile, approached to dab a bit of blood, sniffed beneath his nose, and displayed a peculiar expression on his face

It seemed to stem from an extremely distant and deeply hidden memory, causing Yin Shengzhi to feel a moment of daze, suddenly realizing that this memory did not belong to him, but to that old Taoist.

Yin Shengzhi could only respond with a bitter smile, saying: "Thank you, Master!"

However, I only feel a sense of fatigue throughout my body, gasping for breath.

Yin Sheng had no doubt that this shadowy object could easily rip open his abdomen

It was not until this moment that various sounds seemed to suddenly return to Yin Shengzhi's ears, and the world came to life

Yin Shengzhi felt increasingly fearful as he thought about it, yet he forced himself to calm down: "I am fine, nothing happened, my stomach is not torn open"
