Chapter 3835 Seizing the Body
Because of his past, combined with the two things he experienced in the dark corner, Zuniga has since been disgusted by anything that has to do with fashion monsters.
However, this aversion was not serious enough at the beginning to even resist the challenge mission.
After all, Zuniga is no fool.
He knew very well that challenging missions and fashion magic could make him stronger, and only when he became stronger could he have a better chance of saving the people of the mountains.
Later, the reason why I even hated challenging tasks was actually related to another thing.
"Before I entered the dark corner, the probability of encountering a fashion monster was actually not high." Zuniga said softly: "Like other magicians, I also need to set up various scenes in order to attract the attention of fashion monsters..."
“But often after managing a lot of stages, you still don’t get a few decent pages.”
"Until later, I went to...the dark corner."
"After I came out of the dark corner, I began to frequently receive attention from fashion monsters. For a while, I even spent every day in a coma... If I hadn't been able to rely on energy points to maintain my body's nutrition, I would probably have starved to death in the challenge mission..."
It was also because he was frequently attacked by fashion monsters after leaving the dark corner. During that difficult period, he slept for almost 20 hours out of 24 hours a day.
Not to mention eating, even washing is basically impossible.
It was also during this period that he completely gave up his pride as a king and turned into a slovenly beggar... and he had no choice.
This experience once again intensified Zuniga's aversion to fashion monsters.
It's so serious that I even hate challenging the missions.
"So that's how it is..." Angel couldn't help but sigh after listening to Zuniga's story.
For other magicians, Zuniga's "talent" of attracting fashion monsters may make them extremely envious. But in fact, if you think about it a little, you will find that it is extremely terrifying.
Because the task of challenging space will trap your thoughts, your body in the outside world is directly in a "defenseless" state.
The duration of challenge tasks varies, with most taking one day or even longer.
When your consciousness is trapped in a challenging space every day, facing the challenges of different fashion monsters, I guess no one can stand it.
Moreover, Zuniga had just come to this unknown continent from his original continent. He had no identity, no friends, and even couldn't see the way forward. He just slept at least 20 hours a day...
If he had not been a powerful magician and had energy points to maintain basic physical activity, he would have been trapped to death by the frequent challenging tasks.
"But that's all in the past." Zuniga: "It's better now than before. More than ten years ago, low-level fashion monsters attacked every day, and I was trapped in the challenge space all day long."
"Later, I gained the ability to directly block low-level monsters, and I no longer encountered such frequent challenging tasks."
"However, although we are not troubled by low-level monsters, we still have no way to deal with medium- and high-level monsters. We still have to go into the challenge space and 'be imprisoned'."
However, the frequency of appearance of mid-level and high-level fashion monsters is not very high. Sometimes it appears once every three to five days, and sometimes it only appears once or twice a month.
It was also from this time that Zuniga began to travel around the continent, looking for the breath of the throne.
After hearing this, Angel finally understood why all the fashion monsters he had snatched from Zuniga were intermediate fashion monsters. Both the "Variety Elf" and the "Smokescreen Scholar" belonged to this level.
It turns out that Zuniga himself blocked the challenge of the low-level fashion monster...
If Zuniga completely releases this shield, he will be a walking "task dispenser".
If challengers come in later, maybe Zuniga alone can support the entire group of challengers.
Of course, Angel was just thinking about it. He wasn't that wicked to really let Zuniga become a walking task issuing machine...
"As far as I know, although there is little information about dark corners in the Modern City, there is actually quite a lot of information about dark corners in other cities. There are even people who can walk out of dark corners like you." Angel: "But I don't think I've heard that people who come out of dark corners are chased and attacked by fashion monsters every day like you..."
Zuniga was silent for a moment. "More than a decade ago, I visited a man who came out of the dark corner. He was indeed different from me. He was not like me, being haunted by fashion monsters every day."
“I don’t really know why this happens to me.”
"I guess it might have something to do with some of my experiences in the dark corners."
Zuniga paused, shrugged and said, "But I had so many experiences in the dark corners. During that period, almost every day was full of ups and downs. Every day's story could be written into a novel."
"So, I don't know what exactly led to my current situation."
Zuniga's words did not stir the soul, which also showed that he was telling the truth.
He himself suspected that it was related to something in the dark corner, but he had no idea what it was.
"If you want to hear about my experience in the dark corner, or if you want to determine what caused my situation, I don't mind talking to you late into the night." Zuniga blinked, "But you have to make time. I guess I can't finish even if I talk for ten days and ten nights."
Angel: “…” He was indeed very curious, but if he really had to listen here for ten days and ten nights, then forget it.
Seeing Angel's embarrassed expression, Zuniga laughed.
"Ten days and ten nights is just a joke, but if you really want to hear it, I'll go back and sort out some key points and talk to you next time."
After a pause, Zuniga said, "Do you have any more questions? If not, I still have some for you outsiders..."
Angel said first: "There is still a problem."
Zuniga originally wanted to ask about the "outsider", and also wanted to discuss a small business with Angel: he didn't want to be trapped by the challenging mission, but Angel had the need for the challenging mission, so they could cooperate.
However, since Angle still had problems, Zuniga put this "cooperation" on hold for now. It would not be too late to discuss it later.
"What's the problem?"
Angel: "I actually didn't plan to meet you so early."
Zuniga nodded: "I can feel it."
When Zuniga discovered that the aliens might be "paying attention" to him, he had repeatedly expressed his desire to meet them. Whether he went to the central city or came to the underground city, it was a clear indication.
But the "outsider" did not react at all.
Especially the time at the "bakery", they clearly just passed each other, and the outsider didn't even want to meet him.
At that time, Zuniga felt that the person from outer space probably didn't want to see him.
This time, Angel suddenly showed up at the Beverly Nursing Center, and Zuniga was actually a little surprised... He could also guess that there must be other reasons why Angel suddenly changed his mind and was willing to meet with him.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ingres should have decided to tell the "reason" now.
"The reason I came to see you this time is because I am currently doing a task that may be related to you..."
Zuniga guessed many reasons, and even after talking with Angel, he wondered whether Angel also wanted to cooperate with him and continue to take on the challenge mission.
But what Zuniga didn't expect was that Angel wanted to see him because of a "mission"?
"Is it the main mission?"
Angel: "It is somewhat related to the main quest, but it is not considered a main quest. You can think of it as a small branch of the main quest."
"Although it's just a branch, if you don't do this branch, the main quest will fail."
The Mind Rest remained calm, which also meant that Ingres was telling the truth.
Zuniga now understood why Angel suddenly changed his mind and came to see him. It was because he had to come, otherwise the main task arranged by the Great Will would fail.
In a sense, it was the great will that brought them together.
"What kind of mission is it?" Zuniga asked curiously.
Angel: "Do you know Wu Lulu?"
Zuniga wondered, "Who is Wululu?"
Angel: "..." Could he have found the wrong person? That shouldn't be the case. According to his speculation, the person who told Ululu the story on the roof was Zuniga.
Although Angel had some doubts in his heart, he still told the whole story of Wululu from beginning to end.
After listening to Angel's story, Zuniga fell into deep thought.
"Oh, I seem to remember it now. I have a little impression of it." Zuniga recalled, "Ten years ago, I had just arrived in Modern City. At that time, I would go to the rooftops of different buildings every day... Because I have an ability. Standing high, I can sense a wider range. I want to use this to sense the existence of dark corners."
"It was also at that time that I met a little girl who wanted to commit suicide. She seemed to be only seven years old..."
"She was in a very bad state at the time. She wanted to use her own life to make her parents feel guilty... a very stupid girl."
"I felt sorry for her and was ready to help her out, then I discovered a secret about her."
"Secret?" Angel's eyes tightened, and he immediately realized that this secret was probably the reason for Wu Lulu's perception disorder: "What secret?"
Zuniga could see that this secret was probably the key clue to Angel's mission.
He subconsciously wanted to use this as a threat to talk "business" with Ingres.
But after thinking for a moment, he felt that doing so seemed too childish; Angel had shared the clues of the "People of the Mountains" so generously before, if he still used this to target Joe, it would be a bit too much.
Thinking of this, Zuniga chuckled and said, "There's a fashion monster inside her."
"In other words, she was possessed."
Angel: "Another body possession?!"
"Yes, possession." Zuniga paused and said, "However, her situation is a bit complicated, and she is not completely possessed."
Zuniga paused for a moment, and without hiding anything, he told the story of what he had discovered at the time...
When Zuniga discovered that there was a fashion monster inside Ululu, he immediately realized that she might have been possessed by another spirit.
Given Zuniga's disgust for fashion monsters, he wanted to kill Ululu immediately.
However, facing the confused little girl who fantasized about ending her life to make her parents feel guilty, Zuniga felt something was wrong.
He had personally seen humans being possessed in dark corners, so he knew very well that humans being possessed should not react like this.
Maybe there is another reason?
Thinking of this, Zuniga took advantage of the gap between his conversation with Wululu to quietly check Wululu's physical condition. Then he found a result that surprised him a little.
Wu Lulu was indeed possessed by another spirit, but not completely.
Perhaps it was because the fashion monster that took over the body was already seriously injured. After entering Wululu's body, it did not have more energy to complete the possession and only completed half of it.
Also because the possession was only halfway completed, Wu Lulu and the fashion monster in her body were in a delicate state of balance, like... coexistence.
Angel was puzzled: "Coexistence?"
Zuniga nodded: "Yes, it is coexistence. You can understand it as split personality. Wululu now has two personalities in her body. One is Wululu's own consciousness, and the other is the consciousness of the fashion monster."
Wululu's personality consciousness is still in the main control stage, while the consciousness of the fashion monster is the secondary personality.
"If this coexistence is a true balance, then Wu Lulu might be able to become a magician at a very young age, just like the protagonist in the novel, relying on the fashion magic in her body."
“But unfortunately, this coexistence is not a perfect balance, but a dangerous balance that could be broken at any time.”
"Because the secondary personality dominated by the fashion monster has self-awareness, and it is trying to replace Ululu and become the main personality."
Wu Lulu herself was unable to detect the existence of the fashion monster.
However, the fashion monster was very clear about the situation it was in. While avoiding being discovered by Wululu, it tried to drive away Wulu's consciousness and replace it.
All the strange phenomena that Wu Lulu saw, such as mistaking her mother for a rabbit, mistaking medicine for a carrot, and even pushing her father and Supa biting her brother, were all caused by the fashion monster.
When Ululu met Zuniga, the fashion monster's "possession" had already reached the late stage.
Almost succeeded in taking over the body.
The most significant thing is that... Wululu's main consciousness began to feel confused about the time in the outside world.
For example, she felt that her father slapped her one second, and she pushed him the next second. These behaviors seemed logical, but in fact, the gap between them was not two seconds, but a whole day.
She thought she was punishing Supa by locking him in the basement for a day, but in fact it was not just one day, but several days, which eventually led to Supa starving to death.
This loss of time perception was a sign that she was about to be possessed successfully.
Because during the time she was absent, the fashion monster in her body was trying to take over her main consciousness.
Her subconscious was fighting with the fashion monster's consciousness, which led to the disorder of her sense of time.
"If it had been a few days later, she would have been completely possessed by the monster."
Zuniga: “But then, she met me.”
