Outside the town of Tizamo, before entering the jungle.
Lumian and others all heard gunshots and shouts erupting in the direction of the barracks - compared to the town and the plantation, the population here is more densely populated, and everyone is armed, and many people die every year.
Camus withdrew his gaze and sighed like a middle-aged man.
He knew that he was powerless to stop this kind of thing, so he tried to find a way to end the "Dream Festival" as soon as possible so that more people could survive.
This is why he chose to follow Louis Berry to the black tomb.
Just by himself, he would rationally choose to find a deserted, hidden corner and hide until dawn and the end of the "Dream Festival" like Kolobo did. However, after seeing the strength of Louis Berry, he discovered that this
A great adventurer was actually willing to take risks. After approaching the black tomb, he felt that he still needed to do something.
Lumian stared ahead, followed the light-footed Amandine, and turned into a path in the jungle.
He never thought that he could completely end the "Dream Festival" by himself. The purpose of his trip has always been clear:
Find the batch of gold obtained by "Hisoka" and the item he obtained from the devil of the North family, find out what this core member of "April Fool's Day" is planning, and prevent the ideas he left behind from becoming a reality.
This is not only the responsibility of the "Tarot Club" Minor Arcana card, but also Lumian's cautious attitude towards "Hisoka" - after discovering the dream projection left by "Hisoka", he was worried that the other party could use it
The pre-arrangements and dream projections are resurrected to a certain extent during the "Dream Festival" and return to the real world in the form of resentful spirits.
He won't give "Hisoka" this chance.
After obtaining Father Cali's confession, Lumian became more and more suspicious.
This is because "Hisoka" returns to Tizamo Town every year to participate in the "Dream Festival" and does not need another host. This special dream is usually nothing unusual and does not seem to require anyone to monitor it day after day.
You know, before the "Hisoka" family was burned to death, the special dream existed for unknown years, and the "Dream Festival" was staged countless times, but no one found the problem. In this case, one more person knows the truth.
There would be an extra risk of leaking the news, but "Hisoka" still seduced Father Cali into corruption and took him to the black tomb to obtain extraordinary power.
This abnormal behavior made Lumian think that the essence of "Hisoka" Tewanaku asking Father Cali to help monitor dreams was to confirm the situation of his dream projection:
The dream projection will gradually fade and eventually disappear as "Hisoka" leaves Tizamo Town. If "Hisoka" wants it to always exist, it must come back and live for a while after it fades to a certain extent, and because of the black
The dreams around the boulder are usually in a state of chaos, and the fading speed of the dream projection is likely to be irregular. This requires someone to keep an eye on it every day, and as soon as the fading situation becomes serious, send a telegram to ask "Hisoka" to come back.
Of course, "Hisoka" will definitely not tell Father Cali his true purpose. As a "devil", he will definitely be wary of Father Cali using his dream projection to do something, so as to eliminate himself as a hidden danger.
When telling Father Cali what needs to be done, he will most likely ask him to monitor the changes in the dream.
And how to monitor the changes in dreams? Judging from the dream projections next to the black tomb and the status of the tombkeepers!
Lumian regretted that he could not fall asleep, so he could only let Amandine be responsible for questioning Father Cali. Much of the information obtained was superficial and did not touch the essence, and could only be used to assist analysis.
If he were interrogating Father Cali, he should have roughly figured out the target of "Hisoka" by now, not just suspicion.
At present, the clues of gold and devil's gifts point to the black tomb. Lumian will naturally go there to take a look and do what he can. If he really can't cope with it, he will decisively withdraw to Tizamo Town and hide in Bu
On the third or fourth floor of the Rio Hotel, let "Danger" meet Ludwig, who has a huge appetite.
In an environment with constant rustling and frequent howls of wild beasts, Amandine led Lumian and others through the trees of the rain forest, approaching the edge of the dream.
Suddenly, Lumian raised his right hand and whispered:
"stop."
He sniffed and smelled blood.
And with the sharpness and fineness of the "Reaper's" sense of smell, Lumian could also tell that the blood did not belong to the jungle animals that hunted each other. It came from humans and was rich in spirituality.
"What's wrong?" Amandine was startled, as if she had regained the feeling she had when she followed Robert deep into the jungle for the first time.
Camus soon noticed the problem. He pointed to the direction where the smell of blood came from and said:
"There's something wrong over there."
Mosquitoes gathered in that area.
Although Lumian was eager to reach the black tomb in order to prevent the plan left by "Hisoka" from successfully launching, he knew very well that the more eager he was, the more cautious he had to be, and the more he had to pay attention to various anomalies along the way.
, so as not to step into the trap set by others, or miss key information and start a conflict recklessly.
Aurore once said that Emperor Russell might have said that you can't drink hot soup if you are impatient.
Lumian walked towards the source of the blood smell slowly and slowly.
As the distance got closer, he smelled the pungent smell and rotten smell suppressed by the smell of blood.
The former is derived from tranquilizing essential oil used to repel mosquitoes.
After Lumian walked around a few trees crawling with poisonous insects, he saw a body lying on its back on the humus soil.
The corpse's eyes were wide open, its black hair was disheveled, and its face was smeared with white paint. It looked like it was Maislow, the captain of the Tizamo Town patrol team!
Maslow, who "disappeared" behind Lumian at the beginning of the "Dream Festival", appeared in the jungle in the form of a corpse!
"Maislo!" Camus and Rhea, who followed, made surprised sounds at the same time.
They haven't had time to feel sad yet.
Lumian lowered his gaze and examined the cause of Maslow's death.
There were deep wounds one after another on the chest and abdomen of the captain of the local patrol team, as if he had been attacked by spears, three-pointed thorns and other weapons, but the edges were torn.
A large amount of blood had already flowed to the ground, attracting mosquitoes to wander around, and there were many obvious signs of decay on Maslow's body, and yellow-green liquid seeped out, as if he had been dead for two or three days.
After confirming the surface condition of the corpse and checking the surrounding signs of battle, Camus said in a low voice:
"Attacked by the power of the Death Realm..."
The realm of death? A cold middle-aged man wearing a thin formal suit suddenly appeared in Lumian's mind.
Leiasa, deputy captain of the Palos Port Patrol!
He is a mid-level Extraordinary of the "God of Death" path!
At the beginning of the "Dream Festival", Reasa "disappeared" with Maslow.
Camus looked at Rhea, who had a painful look on her face, and said hesitantly:
"Affected by the 'Dream Festival', they lost their ability to control themselves and attacked each other. One died and the other escaped?"
This is the most current speculation that fits the situation of the "Dream Festival".
Lumian was thinking of a similar scene, but he frowned in confusion and said:
"Why are they in the jungle?"
Normally, shouldn't it appear where you are in reality?
In reality, Reasa and Maslow have followed me back to Tizamo Town...
Something draws them to the jungle?
As the only member of the Palos Port patrol team supporting Tizamo Town, Leiaza knew from the beginning that there was something wrong here. Is the real target the black ancient tomb?
Lumian looked at Camus and Ruiya thoughtfully, and asked casually:
"How good is the relationship between Mesro and Leyasa?"
"Very good." Camus sighed and replied, "Maislo was recruited into the patrol team by Captain Reasa and trained little by little."
Lumian stopped talking and said to Amandine and others:
"Let's move on."
Rhea and Camus seized the moment, brought down some branches, simply covered Maslow's body, and then quickly followed the team.
After walking along the jungle path for a while, Amandine suddenly slowed down and raised her hand to press the side of her head.
"What's wrong?" Lumian asked keenly.
Amandine frowned and said:
"My head was a little bloated and I had some hallucinations."
"What hallucination?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.
Amandine herself was puzzled and said:
"I saw the scene from the last time I came into contact with that black boulder, no, the black tomb, and I felt like I was back to the original feeling. Do you understand, the past things appeared in my head in the form of hallucinations?
In front of my eyes and by my ears.”
Lumian thought for a moment and said before Camus spoke:
"Try walking a little further forward."
It was just that some hallucinations did not make Amandine think of retreating. With an experimental mentality, she walked a few dozen meters further along the relatively familiar jungle road.
"How's it going?" Lumian next to her asked.
Amandine organized the following words:
"The hallucinations are clearer and more obvious."
"The closer you get to the black tomb, the stronger the hallucination becomes?" Lumian first raised a possibility, and then asked, "Did Robert have a similar situation when he brought you here last time?"
"No." Amandine was sure, "He was normal all the way."
"Maybe he has been close to him more than once before, and he has become accustomed to hallucinations." Camus guessed.
"Who knows..." Amandine muttered, looked at Louis Berry and said, "What should we do now?"
It's just an illusion, so it's not a big problem... Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Look further ahead."
"Okay." Amandine didn't know what the hallucination represented, so she endured the discomfort and said, "We can reach the ancient tomb in a few minutes."
She took steps and continued to move forward.
As they walked, Amandine suddenly stretched out her right hand, pressed down on the jungle trees next to her, and bent her back.
Without waiting for Lumian to ask, she described the changes in her hallucinations on her own, speaking intermittently:
"I saw that after the last time I touched the ancient tomb, I didn't fall asleep immediately. I, I was still awake!
"I, I saw, a person appeared in front of me!"
