Chapter 1878: [Origin · Space]

Braving the rain, Xia De, soaked all over, gradually walked out of the river, turned into red butterflies and flew into the middle water outlet that was still spitting water, and then turned into a human shape and walked inside. This water outlet was extremely huge, and Xia De wouldn't hit his head even if he stood straight. The flowing water almost reached the position above his knees, but Xia De didn't care.

Walking inward for more than ten steps, he stopped under the reminder of "her." Closing his eyes and using "High-Efficiency Spatial Perception," and then opening his eyes, there was an extra golden metal box decorated with gold in the huge pipe that originally only had water flowing.

That box was a typical "treasure chest" appearance, not only made of solid gold but also decorated with diamonds and various gemstones on the surface and joints. Even just looking at it, one knew that there must be extraordinary treasures inside. But correspondingly, such an exaggerated shape would only really appear during a performance by an opera troupe.

The box was almost completely submerged by the water flow, with only one top exposed above the water surface. The continuous washing did not make it rust or be corroded, just let some garbage flowing with the water entangle around the box. The surface of the box was still shiny, which was the luster belonging to wealth.

In the huge sound of water, Xia De frowned slightly and took a step back, then thunder exploded in his hand, and a dazzling spear gathered from silver-white thunder was thrown out by him fiercely:

"Thunder Spear!"

The miracle hit the box head-on, and then just as Xia De thought, the box, whose surface was dented by the thunder spear, immediately "bounced" up.

Xia De watched as two slender legs appeared under the box, supporting the box to stand up, making the box body leave the flowing water. And the two sides of the box body stretched out slender arms, waving wildly in the air.

The box lid opened with a snap, but there were no gold and silver treasures inside, but sharp teeth and a thick, bright red tongue were exposed. With two slender legs as legs and the treasure chest itself as the body, this humanoid creature opened its big mouth and waved its slender hands, trying to hug Xia De.

"So it's you, Document-level Relic - Mimic."

This is a relatively well-known humanoid Relic. Xia De once saw this kind of thing on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" together with Princess Lei Qianya, who used the alias "Miss Princess."

And 【Mimic】 usually manifests the characteristic of turning into a treasure chest to attract people to open it, and then taking the opportunity to eat the people attracted.

But different Mimics have different ways of behaving. For example, the one on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" only blocked the only way in the cabin corridor, while the Mimic in Gelinhu City used hidden space cracks to hide, and then constantly threw "treasures" outward to attract people to come and find the source of the treasure.

If Xia De didn't guess wrong, those people who came to find treasure should have all been eaten by it.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xia De took a step back and disappeared in place, letting the monster with open arms try to "hug" him and miss.

And Xia De, who appeared behind the Mimic, didn't launch an attack, but threw two "Seven Deadly Sins Chains" at the monster. The clanking sound of the chains was covered by the sound of water. One of the chains was nimbly dodged by the monster with slender legs, and the other chain collided with the thick, bright red tongue popped out of the box mouth.

The collision sound was not loud, it just made Xia De slightly surprised that the Mimic's tongue actually bounced off the 【Seven Deadly Sins Chain】. This was the first time this chain had been completely bounced off. But thinking that his 【Greed】 came from this thing, and the Mimic Relic itself seemed to be sin, Xia De was not very surprised.

The monster turned around and pounced on him again. Xia De stood in place and held his breath, counting one, two, three in his heart:

"Moonlight Greatsword!"

The virtual hands stabbed forward, and the silver greatsword that appeared out of thin air pierced through the "mouth" of the treasure chest and pierced the box body. This kind of monster, as a Relic, is extremely difficult to destroy. Except for hypnotizing it to make it fall into a deep sleep and then attacking it like Princess Lei Qianya did in the past, its only weakness is its mouth.

However, Xia De was only at the second ring when he was in Cold Water Port, and he could deal with it with Princess Lei Qianya's cooperation. The battle this time was certainly not difficult.

The greatsword turned into silver light spots and scattered into the air. The monster's slender hands, feet, and the treasure chest itself all turned stone-gray, and then scattered into a pile of dust like a sand sculpture, merging into the water.

Plop~ Danglang~

Successive jewelry and gold and silver ornaments fell into the water along with those sands. This was the treasure contained in the "Mimic" itself. In fact, after killing this kind of monster, in most cases, one can get their treasure. Last time on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship," it was obvious that the pirates had searched the monster's treasure in advance, so there was no harvest at that time.

"These things have whisper elements attached, which will magnify the greed of the human heart, and they must be processed before they can be sold... Hmm? Not just ordinary items?"

He looked at the shining "small mountain" piled up in the water, narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hand into the water, stabbed into the jewelry, and finally took out a key:

"Time Key..."

He put the key away, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, turned the handkerchief into a piece of cloth, and covered the jewelry. Because they were attached with whisper elements, it took a little more spirit to turn them into toys, but Xia De didn't care.

He gathered the toys in his hand, stood up straight, and put the toys away, but suddenly paused, seeing that there was an item under the slightly turbid water surface that had not been turned into a toy.

Strictly speaking, that was not an item, that was a card lying under the water, but it was not damaged because of it:

"What? This is..."

Even Xia De, who didn't have much emotional fluctuation even when he blew up the tavern, held his breath. He sensed the surroundings, confirmed that this was not a trap, and then bent down and picked up the card from the water, only then realizing that this card was not damaged in the water because the card was embedded in the center of a transparent glass plate.

Shaking it a few times, he shook off the water droplets on the glass plate. Afterward, he saw that on the card face, a man whose face could not be seen was facing away from the card face, holding a book in one hand and pointing to the inside of the card face with the other, while the background of the card face was light-emitting bubbles in the infinite black starry sky.

Xia De controlled his slightly trembling hands, took a deep breath, and looked at the top of the card face.

Only then did he see the number 10 marked in the upper right corner, and the extremely familiar "Moon" logo in the upper left corner. Between the two, which was the center of the upper side of the card face, a black vertical line was drawn in a white circle, which was the logo of the "Origin" series.

He moved his gaze to the bottom of the card face, where a few lines of small characters were written:

【After drawing this card until the stop card stage, you can choose whether to activate the effect only once: throw a coin, if it is heads, force the opponent to discard the first card and the last card at this time, and redraw; if it is tails, exchange the first card of your own with any non-"Moon" suit card displayed by the opponent.】

"The effect of space is a forced exchange."

He flipped the glass plate to the other side, and it was indeed the familiar card back pattern of the Luo De card. Afterward, he exerted a little force with his fingers, and this glass of unknown age was completely shattered.

The glass shards fell into the water and were washed into the Duyin River by the water flow. Xia De held the card in his hand, waited for a while, and "she" in his ear laughed softly:

【Genuine.】

The outsider was facing away from the pipe exit, so the thin sunlight that barely penetrated the dark clouds could not illuminate the smile on his face at this moment.

From brushing past this card in the Lost Forest of the Fifth Era to the eve of the Gelinhu decisive battle, 【Ten Thousand Phenomena Constant · Space】 finally came into Xia De's hands in a completely unexpected way.

He raised his hand and placed the card in front of his right eye. Looking forward again, he didn't see any abnormal phenomenon. Xia De was not disappointed because of this, but wiped his hands, carefully took out his deck, and replaced it with Moon 10 【Origin · Space】.

He turned to look at the exit of the pipe more than ten steps away, looked at the city on the other side of the river, and felt that his exploration in the Gelinhu region was finally complete.

Xia De believed that the smile on his face must be unstoppable, because when he returned home by throwing the crystal shoes and appeared from the hotel basement, the girls he met could see that he was very happy at this time.

"Xia De, you are back? Hmm? Why are you so happy?"

When he met Miss Afuluoluo and Miss Miss Jia Lin Na who were talking in the corner of the first floor of the hotel, both of them asked Xia De, who had light footsteps, what good things he had encountered. And when Xia De showed 【Origin · Space】 and told about the boy and the Mimic, the red-haired Duchess raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then thought of the divination last night:

"Is she really that accurate in divination?"

The rain was still so heavy, and when people were preparing to welcome a major event, they would find that the speed of time passing was the same as the speed of the raindrops falling, which could only be felt but not touched.

Time soon reached five o'clock in the afternoon. Because the invitation only wrote tonight and did not specify the specific time, everyone had already agreed to treat after five o'clock as the time when Laplace Klein Howard might "forcibly invite" at any time.

The grandfather clock in the corner of the first floor of the hotel struck five times. In the Gelinhu Hotel, where only Ajielina was an ordinary person, everyone took action... Although Mr. Solon Gelinhu was not a Ringed Shushi, he was definitely not ordinary.

Hasty footsteps went up and down the stairs, and pleasant voices commanded or told information. Spiritual light bloomed and unfolded on the walls, and complex and dense ritual bases carrying the elements of miracles, blasphemy, enlightenment, and whispers were perfectly connected and fused together to exert their effects.

Even the most excellent ritual master could not distinguish how many rituals were unfolded in the Gelinhu Hotel in the few minutes after five o'clock, and how many miracles, spells, and witch secret techniques were affected.

The final battle of Gelinhu was finally about to begin. ===== CHAPTER 1879 =====
