Chapter 821 Noise
Dive!
After making the gesture, Lin Yu started paddling downwards.
The visibility in this water area is not very high. Although it is not dirty or turbid, due to the dim light and its color, Lin Yu still relies mainly on mental power to detect.
And Raymond...
Naturally, he followed Lin Yu closely.
A Yu sent Raymond to follow Lin Yu mainly because he wanted to use this guy as a "combat force", not because he was also good at finding things underwater.
The reason why Lin Yu chose to go deeper was not because Lao Zheng had already found a vague direction after entering the water.
This is Lin Yu’s reasoning.
Although this area of water can be isolated from detection, if it were me, I would definitely not hide above the water surface.
The director of the Inquisition looks like a cunning old fox, and he will definitely hide in the deepest place - after all, there are many ways to find people.
Sometimes... you don't even need to find anyone. After all, the director of the Inquisition cannot be sure whether his group will have any large-scale attack methods to directly bombard the water surface.
In fact, A Yu's [Destruction of All Things] just now was almost over.
And this is also the second reason why Lin Yu chose to dive...
He also didn't want to be affected by A Yu's range - as for whether he and Raymond would affect A Yu's performance, Lin Yu felt that it was unlikely.
Ah Yu doesn't seem like the type of person who would be so cautious when fighting!
And it turns out...
Lin Yu’s idea is also correct.
Just after diving for a distance, he felt a huge impact from behind through the water, as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer.
Lin Yu somersaulted underwater, his eyes went dark and he almost lost consciousness.
Looking back, Raymond next to him was also feeling uncomfortable. He hurriedly grabbed the respirator and stuffed it back into his mouth - obviously, he didn't bite the respirator because of the impact just now.
After going down into the dungeon, the monster with the snake shell had not caused them any harm yet, but it was A Yu who gave them the first shock!
but……
The aftermath is already so severe, and the monster that took this attack head-on will obviously feel even worse.
There was already a continuous glow of flames on the water surface behind him, and the monarch-level snake descendant was shaking constantly, obviously having been severely injured by A Yu.
Unfortunately……
Being severely injured is not a good result for Lin Yu and A Yu!
"Looks like we have to hurry!"
Although A Yu said that he would hold back the snake, Lin Yu did not intend to rely entirely on A Yu.
He continued to dive and swim, urging Lao Zheng at the same time.
"Look for it quickly!"
"I'm looking, I'm looking... Boss, a lot of souls and magic have been drained away to recover from injuries, but it's still a mess!"
Lao Zheng's voice rang out.
Lin Yu knew in his heart that what Lao Zheng said was right, so he sighed and released his mental power.
The mental power was unfolding underwater, and because the water had magical power, Lin Yu felt unprecedented resistance and interference.
Ever since I learned how to cultivate my mental power, every time I extend it, it feels like I've gained a new limb - like a new pair of nimble hands and feet.
but now……
For the first time, Lin Yu felt the unpleasant feeling of sticking his hand into a quagmire.
These "undercurrents" mixed with magic power, those magic powers with similar properties to mental power, are like a difficult quagmire.
The efficiency of such exploration has indeed become much lower - especially since the waters contain soul fragments of other dark species - just like the broken limbs of other people are mixed in this quagmire.
Lin Yu's goal is to find the living person hiding in it.
Even if he "touched" other limbs, it would be difficult for him to tell at first glance whether they were severed limbs or a living person.
Lao Zheng really didn't lie... It's really difficult to perceive and find people here.
Lin Yu exhaled, but did not retract his mental power.
Anyway... there's nothing to do right now.
Old Zheng also noticed Lin Yu's actions and said, "Well, it's very difficult, Boss, I'm really not slacking off."
"Indeed, it even makes me feel sick."
Lin Yu complained in his heart.
The two of them communicated briefly using their mental power - of course, on a frequency band where Raymond was not present.
The communication was not as smooth as that on shore.
"Actually, Boss, in an environment like this, you can try not spreading your mental energy out, but concentrating it... imagine yourself as a sea urchin."
"Although this is more tiring than releasing it directly in a 'spherical' field as usual, and it's not conducive to using mental power to capture every inch of detail, it is indeed the best solution in this situation."
As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu nodded, and then controlled his mental power as Lao Zheng said.
This kind of environment is also a further training for his mental strength.
After doing what Lao Zheng said, Lin Yu immediately felt that his mental fatigue and pressure had increased a lot.
Even... although he didn't suffer from mental exhaustion, he did experience the "emotional disorder" that only occurs after excessive use of mental energy.
"My emotions are escaping... Tsk, this is really not a good sign."
However, at this moment, Lin Yu had an idea.
Without confirming with Lao Zheng whether it was feasible, Lin Yu immediately started to act.
He first took out the [Torch of Fear] and then lit it underwater.
A pale white flame also burned underwater. Driven by the fuel of "fear", this torch could burn in any situation.
Wherever the light of the ignited flames shone, the last "fear" of those remaining souls was also mobilized.
Each "fear" was like a lit light within the range of mental perception. Those abundant emotions were enough to allow Lin Yu and Lao Zheng to regain their normal perception effects - they could once again see the conditions of all the "souls" within a certain range in an instant.
But this is not Lin Yu's purpose.
Following the fear spreading from those souls, Lin Yu extended his mental power forward.
The director of the Inquisition was an old fox... His choice to directly kill himself, the holder of the [Golden Cross Medal], was not a reflection of his audacity, but rather a reaction of his excessive cowardice and caution.
and so……
When he hid underwater, he would definitely not just curl up and completely isolate himself from sight and hearing.
The Director of the Inquisition must also have a means of "perception" - using the magic spells of the Night Vale world to blend in with this undercurrent.
It is difficult to detect magic hidden in mental power, and it is naturally more seamless when magic is hidden in magic.
but……
No matter what, as long as it is not a true "whole", there will always be flaws.
When Lin Yu abnormally released "fear", those souls reacted abnormally, and things beyond the understanding of the Director of the Inquisition happened...
Beneath these “layers” of disordered fear formed by incomplete soul structures, there will definitely be “emotions” of a complete soul.
Doubt, confusion, and worry.
That's like...
A hint of noise.
"found it."
Lin Yu concentrated his mental power and locked onto the fleeting noise.
