Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1210 High Risk, High Reward

"I don't have any useful clues. The two pilots were unconscious. The plane was on autopilot."

"However, the captain and co-pilot were not 'asleep'. Their eyes were open and they seemed to be in a state where they could take over the autopilot and manually control the aircraft at any time. They just couldn't receive any external information."

Baisha stuck his head out of the cockpit of the plane and reported what he saw and heard.

"He's able to perform complex operations while being hypnotized. As expected, his use of mental power is no less than that of the First Generation..."

After hearing Baisha's report, Potassium Chloride felt even more serious.

However, in Potassium Chloride's opinion, the masked man whose identity was unknown was very impatient, so he naturally did not express these analyses and concerns to shake the morale of the army.

"I understand—I've checked the restroom and the work area at the tail of the plane, and I didn't find anything unusual. Also, since I just checked and didn't trigger 'tidal resonance' when I used the relic, I can basically rule out the possibility of a Jingxu relic."

Potassium chloride also reported his findings.

Baisha remembered something after hearing what Potassium Chloride said, and added, "Oh, I didn't find any signs of witchcraft or Taoism here either - if there were any, I should be able to feel it."

"But, it seems that there is absolutely nothing... Have you checked Ye Gu's methods besides Jingxu?"

Potassium Chloride nodded. "Of course, I can also directly sense the presence of 'magic' without the aid of any [props]. There's currently no abnormal flow of magic here... But, I can't completely rule it out."

Baisha was a little surprised: "What do you mean? Why can't it be completely ruled out?"

Potassium Chloride took out a crystal bottle from his arms and uncorked it.

Fluorescent glitter flew out of the crystal bottle.

"This is [Shining Magic Crystal Powder], which can visualize magic power - you'll understand it at a glance."

With potassium chloride as the center, the shiny glitter spreads outwards, outlining the invisible magic within the cabin - strips of flickering light are lit up, like swirling clouds illuminated by neon lights, or like a Milky Way star cluster under a clear night sky.

Baisha frowned: "I still don't understand."

"It's residual magic. He used Death Sleep or Death Sleep Potion before, covering the entire cabin," Potassium Chloride said. "As a higher-level spell or potion, even the residual magic will greatly interfere with my judgment."

"But...if the magic fluctuations of that thing are big enough, I can still notice it."

Potassium chloride explained.

The glitter slowly fell on the bodies of the surrounding passengers, outlining a flickering fluorescence on them. Under the influence of the dead sleep spell, the sleeping passengers were also stained with magic.

Baisha observed that even the air exhaled by the passengers carried a faint glow.

"Magic and magical powers are truly a troublesome and complex system, but this one is indeed very comprehensive. In any other world, it would be difficult to make so many ordinary people fall into a deep sleep silently at the same time."

Baisha said with emotion.

Potassium Chloride shook his head. "He must have had mental support. Death Sleep alone wouldn't have had this effect. Whether it's a potion or a magic spell, the power of Death Sleep won't remain in the human body for too long. After all, it's magic that affects the 'soul,' and even the 'soul' of an ordinary person has the ability to purify and repair itself, so it can be easily awakened and cracked later..."

Having said that, Potassium Chloride suddenly froze and realized something.

Baisha also reacted at the same time: "Wait a minute, since magic power won't remain in the body of someone under the effect of death sleep for too long, then what's going on with the magic power in these people?"

"Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, their magical reactions seem to be...increasing?"

Potassium chloride muttered as he watched the dust particles gradually becoming brighter at an imperceptible speed.

He came to his senses and realized that the magical reaction here was deceiving his perception in a "boiling frog in warm water" manner and was slowly increasing.

This phenomenon...

This just confirms tip seven!

"Tip seven: It will become more obvious and more dangerous as time goes by."

"What we're looking for is most likely a product of Night Vale!"

What would it be?

Magical device? Scroll? Abyssal creature? Tome?

"Tear-!"

Baisha tore off the clothes of the old man next to him and then started shouting.

"Hey, Invisible Man, there's blood on this old man's skin!"

As he spoke, KCl looked over and found that it was not blood.

Instead, it was some kind of red, dried water-based paint that drew fine lines on the old man's skin.

Potassium chloride just took a look and understood...

“This pattern is incomplete!”

He immediately crushed the entire crystal bottle in his hand, covering all the passengers completely with the powder.

Then, a stronger light flashed on everyone's body - and just as Potassium Chloride expected, the shapes of these lights were some complex and delicate lines.

These lines can be connected to each other from beginning to end, and seem to form a huge pattern together.

His lips were dry as he tried to piece together the shape of the pattern in his mind.

"I think I know what we are looking for."

"This is... a huge nine-ring upper-level... no, a super-level magic circle."

"The so-called physical part is the magic runes and circuits drawn on each person's body."

Upon hearing this, Baisha asked anxiously, "What is the effect of this magic circle?"

"I don't know. It doesn't look like anything I recognize, but... it feels like some kind of abyssal summoning circle. It might be able to summon something from the abyss," Potassium Chloride said, feeling a headache. "But I'm not sure what it will be... A cross-world summoning, without the help of [Props], theoretically shouldn't be able to summon anything too powerful. But as for the complexity and scale of this magic circle, I really can't say!"

And when Potassium Chloride finished speaking...

A cheerful female voice rang out: "Congratulations, both of you, for completing the second level of the trial."

"That's right, the target hidden on this plane that you need to find... is precisely this summoning magic circle drawn on everyone's body!"

"And once this magic circle is activated, it will summon... a projection of a Pillar-level demon!"

"This is also the third hurdle you need to face—stop the summoning circle from activating before it's completed."

"Or... you can choose to defeat the pillar-level demon that came from across the world - this is the method I recommend for clearing the level. High risk, high reward!"
