Although Leo's situation has proved the existence of the soul in a certain aspect, Leo has always been in a state of doubt about the soul. At this moment, Leo has begun to believe that the soul really exists.
Because he is looking at these souls now.
I saw those groups of light jellyfish breaking through the goblin's blockade. After entering the jungle, their bodies immediately scattered and turned into a ball of light mist. Then they quickly condensed into a human form and moved slowly towards the depths of the jungle.
These human-shaped hazes of light are all the appearance of human beings before death, some of them drowned, some of them were fatally injured, and some of them died of illness. These hazes of light all maintain the shape of the moment of death.
The scene in front of him made Leo couldn't help but think of a church book he saw about corpse collectors in the dream world. It mentioned a place called the Sea of ​​Abyss, saying that the dead would float on the Sea of ​​Abyss until they appeared in the sea.
The whirlpool takes away the dead, and some of the dead are lucky enough to drift to the kingdom of gods. Those souls transform into another form and live forever in the kingdom of gods.
In addition, the book also mentions that the sea of ​​​​the abyss is connected to the kingdoms of all gods, or it can be said that all the kingdoms of gods are small islands floating in the sea of ​​​​the abyss.
Although the scene in front of him was different from the scenes described in the book where the corpse collectors took away the souls and entered the abyssal sea, Leo had a vague feeling that these might be the lucky souls written in the book.
Those lucky souls who were blocked by the goblins were able to change their forms and live on this island in another way. However, it is not known how much wisdom these souls have. At least Leo did not change these souls into their original appearance.
No trace of wisdom is seen in the soul.
The feast of breaking through and hunting did not last long before it ended. The ocean returned to calmness and depth. Looking towards the sea, all you could see was pitch black, a black color that could make people feel scared.
After watching it for a long time, I feel like my soul will be sucked away.
At the same time, Leo once again felt that gaze, the gaze from the depths of the ocean and the abyss. Compared with the previous feelings, his feelings at this moment were stronger and clearer. At the same time,
He also figured out where the stare was coming from.
"Corpse collector!" Leo couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face, because he discovered that this gaze came from the divine corpse collector in the dream world.
When he was in the dream world, Leo met the corpse collector as soon as he arrived in Hushang Town. Later, he learned from the lady on the lake that the corpse collector had been paying attention to him, but what surprised him was that he returned to Velen
After leaving the world, he would still encounter this corpse collector, which really made him feel a little confused.
Although the gods in the dream world and the gods in the Velen world are inextricably linked, the corpse collector is different from the lady in the lake. The corpse collector is a god created by the people in the dream world. Among the many ancient beliefs in the Velen world
In the world, there has never been a god like the Corpse Collector. There is only one god related to death, and that is the creator of the Web Weaver.
However, now Leo really felt the attention from the corpse collector. This feeling of being noticed was very strong, so strong that Leo had the illusion that the corpse collector would crawl out of the water.
However, he could only rely on the feeling on his body to determine the existence of the corpse collector. After his mental network spread, he could not find anything suspicious in the sea at all.
This feeling of being noticed did not last long, and soon disappeared. Before disappearing, Leo vaguely felt that the corpse collector who paid attention to him seemed to be worried about something.
Everything around him returned to calm. Apart from the various sounds made by the waves hitting the rocks on the shore and the wind blowing through the wreckage of the ship, there were no other sounds and no other noteworthy situations.
Leo looked at the deep sea in the distance, was silent for a moment, turned around and returned to the lower cabin, returned to the bonfire he had set up, and added some dry wood to the bonfire.
Looking at the swaying flames, Leo fell into deep thought. Everything he saw and felt just now made him realize that he seemed to have overlooked a possibility before, that is, the place he was in was not the sea area of ​​​​the Velen world at all, but
It is the abyssal sea mentioned in the books of the Corpse Collector Church.
If this is the sea of ​​​​the abyss, then I have felt the attention of the corpse collector before, the souls coming out of the sea I just saw, and even the island I am currently on, as well as the damaged shipwrecks on the island, and everything else
Reasonable explanations can be found.
According to the book of the Corpse Collector Church, the abyssal sea is the destination of the undead at sea, which also explains why there are souls coming out of the sea.
In addition, the abyssal sea is also connected to the divine kingdom and divine domain of all gods. Now this island is likely to be the garden of the sea god as he guessed.
An explanation can also be found for so many shipwrecks from different countries on and near the beach. Before the ships were launched in the past, some rituals would be performed to sacrifice the new ships to the God of the Sea, praying to the God of the Sea to protect the ships from sailing safely on the sea. And when
When a ship is in trouble, the ship and all the dead on the ship will become sacrifices to the God of the Sea and be taken away by the God of the Sea. That is why there are so many shipwrecks of different shapes and sizes from all over the world around this beach.
"Storm! It should have been the storm that brought him to the Sea of ​​Abyss." Leo thought carefully about why he appeared in the Sea of ​​Abyss, and soon he thought of the sea storm he encountered when leaving the Queen Mary, and at the same time
He couldn't help but look at the location of the Webweaver's mark.
Because the situation was very bad at that time, Leo had to concentrate on dealing with the rough waves caused by the storm, and did not notice the abnormality produced by the Webweaver's mark at that time. But now that he carefully recalled the situation at that time, he found that the Webweaver's mark was producing some strange things at that time.
Analyze abnormal movements.
In normal times, even if he discovered such abnormal movement, Leo would not have too many suspicions, but now this situation is different. The scene at that time, the timing of the abnormal movement of the web weaver's mark and the current environment,
All of them indicate that his entry into this abyssal sea is probably inseparable from the web weaver.
"The so-called plague that suddenly broke out on the ship is probably not that simple!" Thinking of this, Leo made another guess.
After the plague broke out in the city of Miria, all ships, steam trains and other public transportation facilities were subject to very strict inspections.
Just like Leo, even with a first-class ticket, he checked three times before boarding the ship, one of which was a medical check-up to see if he had any signs of illness.
Although these inspections may not necessarily be able to completely identify people suffering from the plague, people with obvious symptoms of illness will still be identified and these people will not be allowed to board the ship. Therefore, even if someone's illness is not identified,
The disease this man contracted was not the kind of disease that would be fatal in a short period of time.
In addition, on the Queen Mary, Leo examined the bodies of the passengers and crew and found that although the death characteristics on their bodies looked like they had died of the plague, the actual death was due to organ failure and was not directly caused by the plague.
, but more like the failure of body organs after weakened vitality.
Therefore, the plague that turned the Queen Mary into a ship of death was not a plague at all, but probably some other unknown force.
"Why? Why do you do this? Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment? This matter is aimed at me?" Leo fiddled with the bonfire in front of him, doubts in his heart. He even overturned his previous judgment and felt that the whole thing
It was directed at him, but then he shook his head, still firmly believing that he was not the source of this incident, and that he just happened to get involved.
The most direct evidence is that if it is directed at him, he will definitely have some premonitions in his eyes. This is not nonsense, but after the life evolves to a fifth-level psyker, the perception will reach another level.
One level.
If Leo has received any training related to subspace knowledge, then as a fifth-level psyker, he can enter the subspace spiritually anywhere. And any targeted hostility or thoughts towards the fifth-level psyker, regardless of
Wherever this kind of thoughts and hostility come from, even if it is the end of the universe, it will be projected into the subspace and be sensed by him. Even if this hostility comes from Omega-level advanced creatures, it is no exception. It is just a feeling of strength and induction.
There is just a difference in time.
Although Leo currently only has the power of a fifth-level psyker and has no corresponding knowledge, and even less knowledge about subspace, he is not a true fifth-level psyker, but there are some fifth-level psionic powers.
He has no shortage of talents that a human being should have. This is a product of the evolution of life. It is as natural as the nose is used for breathing and the ears are used for listening, so he has great trust in his premonition of crisis.
In the process of constantly asking questions and then denying them, Leo's doubts not only did not decrease, but became more. In the end, he felt that these messy thoughts would only disrupt his thinking, so he decided to find further clues before
, without thinking or speculating about the ins and outs of this matter.
In order to prevent accidents, Leo set traps in some places on the ship, and always kept himself in a shallow state of rest, ready to stand up at any time to deal with any possible attacks.
The night after that was calm, without the shocking sight before it appeared. The only thing that shocked Leo was the wreckage of a new ship drifting to the coast and stranded. What surprised Leo was that
He knows this ship.
This ship docked at the same pier as the Queen Mary. When the Queen Mary left the port, it had just opened for passenger boarding. I didn't expect to see this ship again in this ship cemetery.
The reason why Leo paid special attention to this ship was because it was the only pure wind sailing ship on the dock at that time, and this ship was not a cargo ship, but rather a private ride for some noble young ladies to go out for fun.
sailboat.
The sailboat that reappeared in front of Leo now no longer had the simplicity and splendor that it had when he first saw it. The broken mast, cracked hull, and other traces all told of the huge disaster that the ship had suffered.
Leo, who saw the ship stranded, didn't pay attention for too long. He just decided to search the ship again after dawn tomorrow to see if there was anything useful, and then returned to the bonfire in the lower cabin.
Next, continue to rest.
The night passed quickly, and the sunlight after dawn shone on Leo through the gaps caused by the cracks in the ship, allowing him to quickly recover from his shallow rest.
After regaining consciousness, Leo extinguished the bonfire, then walked directly to the hole in the side of the cabin and jumped out of the boat. He washed himself with the clear water and followed the plan made last night to the stranded sailboat.
Search it.
Although the hull of the sailboat was cracked, the keel was still intact, so it could still drift on the sea and not sink to the bottom of the sea. In addition, the ship was full of traces of damage left after being hit by waves. It can be inferred that this
What kind of hardships the ship had gone through, but what interested Leo was the situation inside the cabin.
Inside the cabin, there are a lot of traces of battles. Many arrows from the steam engine crossbow are nailed to the wooden boards, and some special bullets are also embedded in the walls. Judging from the arrows and special bullets, this ship has
The passengers were very well armed, and the attacks they encountered were also very strong. Even if they tried their best to fight back, they were still unable to break through the opponent's blockade. They were suppressed in a cabin and eventually trapped.
Die in here.
Because the inside of the ship had been washed by a large amount of seawater, even if there were blood stains on the ground, it had been washed away, making it impossible for Leo to judge the final condition of the passengers on the ship. However, judging from the marks on the surrounding walls and floors,
Their situation is probably very bad, and the chance of being killed on the spot is as high as 90%.
Through the signs of destruction around it, Leo could also tell that the person who attacked the ship was probably not a normal person, but maybe some family members, because there were a large number of walls and floors damaged by external force, which showed the power of the attackers.
Far beyond ordinary people.
In addition, he also found some human cell tissue from some arrows stuck in the wall. Although these human tissues were just some flesh and blood, they also contained a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations, but this spiritual energy fluctuation was extremely weak. If Lei
If Ou hadn't become a fifth-level psyker, it would probably be difficult for him to sense it.
Based on yesterday's experience, Leo quickly found the location of the captain's cabin, but the captain's cabin had been severely damaged, leaving only a pile of debris, and anything useful had been washed away.
However, the careful Leo still found a piece of paper that was completely wet from a pile of broken wood. The ink on the paper was also blurred, and it was impossible to see what was written. Only the signature at the end remained.
It is relatively intact and can barely be recognized.
