Amandine woke up from the violent shaking of the building.
She stood up in confusion, looked out the window, and saw that the sky had become gray and low, and both the red moon and the stars were completely covered.
In the near-absolute darkness, Amandine turned her body sideways and cast her gaze not far away.
Robert, who was neatly dressed, was getting up slowly, looking around slowly as if it was difficult to adapt to the dark environment.
After the tremor of the earth and the shaking of the building finally stopped, Robert discovered Amandine with the help of his spiritual vision.
He hesitated and said:
"Are we awake?"
He remembered that before entering the "Dream Festival", he and Amandine came here to complete the rendezvous under the pretext of a date. When they passively entered that special dream, they temporarily separated. One stayed where he was, and the other went to St. Sean's Church.
.
Amandine looked at the suddenly noisy street outside the window again, thought for a few seconds and said:
"It should be...
"But I don't know what's going on now."
Robert remembered what happened in his dream and fell silent, while Amandine did not take the initiative to speak.
After a while, Robert asked in a low voice:
"What happened to you?"
Amandine suddenly laughed:
"Nothing's wrong."
Robert closed his mouth again.
Amandine, who has night vision, looked at him and said with a complicated smile:
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Robert was silent for a moment and said:
"What happened to you next?"
Amandine felt the quiet darkness in the house, and after a long silence, she whispered:
"I saw the one who gave me strength."
"The person who gave you strength?" Robert asked in shock.
Amandine smiled:
"After we touched that black tomb, we actually didn't fall asleep. We didn't really fall asleep until we received the power."
"How is it possible..." Robert looked unbelieving.
Amandine did not try to convince him, but said to herself:
“When you gain extraordinary power, you immediately fall into a coma or fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up, you fully master that power, and both your spirit and body undergo certain changes...
"Is this considered low-level, death first and life later?"
"What are you talking about?" Robert became more and more confused.
I don’t understand it at all!
Amandine rolled her eyes slightly and laughed:
"That person told me, maybe it was a teaching."
"Teach..." Robert looked at Amandine opposite and could only confirm her status through spiritual vision.
He felt that his fiancée was different from before, as if she had grown up overnight.
Amandine wanted to tell Robert her story in detail, as usual, but a lot of words came to her lips and she swallowed them back.
She said "Hey":
"Don't you go and see Father Cali? He may not live long."
Robert suddenly woke up from his thoughts and blurted out:
"He fled to that ancient tomb and was killed?"
"He is indeed dead," replied Amandine.
Robert's expression changed repeatedly and he did not ask who the murderer was.
Amandine thought for a moment and said:
"Before you go to Father Cali, I need to tell you something.
"The desire you had when you first faced him did not come from your heart. He prayed to the devil through rituals and gained the power to influence you."
Robert's eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened, but no sound came out.
Amandine said nothing more, stepped forward, passed Robert, and headed for the stairs.
After pressing the handrail of the stairs, she paused and said "hmm":
"Let's find an excuse to break off the engagement. I can accept other things from you, but I can't allow my fiancé to let me follow Louis Berry to find the black tomb alone under those circumstances.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about you, and those who knew it in the dream won't tell anyone either."
Robert turned around suddenly and looked at the stairs, just in time to see Amandine descending step by step, the spiritual light submerged in the deep darkness.
Amandine left the house in Tehuanaco and entered the street.
She glanced at the gray and low sky, at the scattered lights on both sides, and smelled the dusty air.
After raising her hand to cover her nose, Amandine walked towards the Palm Manor.
Her steps gradually became brisker.
…………
Tizamo Town, third floor of the police headquarters.
Just when Camus felt that Cologne was not shaking so much and seemed to have slowed down, he heard painful screams coming from the next room.
With a thought in his heart, he lit a candle, walked out of the room, opened the slightly deformed wooden door next door, and saw Loban from Fusac lying on the ground, covering his knees and crying out in pain.
The member of the patrol team in Tizamo Town woke up from the earthquake-like movement. He wanted to get out of bed and look for cover. As a result, one of his legs strangely lost strength and was accompanied by strong pain, causing him to fall directly on the ground.
on the floor.
Before Camus had time to organize his words, Ruiya's voice sounded next to him:
"Don't worry, it's the mass hysteria mentioned in the survey, and you can get better after receiving the corresponding mass."
Loban cooperated with Camus in collecting various abnormal things in Tizamo Town, and quickly understood what Ruiya said.
He cursed, struggled to stand up, took out a military flask from under the pillow, and Gulu drank a few sips of strong wine.
After drinking until his face became a little rosy, Loban breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I feel like my knee has recovered a little bit. Sometimes, alcohol is more useful than mass!"
Camus also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at Ruiya and found that his teammate's expression was a bit colder.
After what happened just now, her dream projection completely disappeared, and those emotions and desires returned to her body? I wonder if that special dream is still there, and whether there will be a "Dream Festival" next year... Camus instantly made many associations.
At this time, Ruiya said to him:
"Let's go out and see if we can save some people. The injured should not just be those who died at the Dream Festival."
Camus was stunned for a moment and said:
"good."
There was a bit of joy in his heart, feeling that Ruiya had not fundamentally changed due to the return of those emotions and desires.

According to the information from the owner of Briu Hotel, Lumian went to the fourth floor and opened the wooden door of the corresponding room.
The nearly lightless dark environment quickly receded under the illumination of a ball of blazing white fire, and everything here was presented to Lumian's eyes:
Some items fell to the ground due to the shaking just now, the tables and chairs moved to a certain extent, a small amount of dust was sprinkled on the ceiling, the windows were closed, but the glass was broken. Other than these, there were no noteworthy situations and no human presence.
.
Lumian looked around and found no trace of the man and woman.
He frowned slightly and said silently to himself:
"According to the original rules of the 'Dream Festival', death in a dream does not mean immediate death. After the man and woman woke up, they left Tizamo Town directly?
"I also plan to collect their corpses and inherit their extraordinary characteristics..."
Lumian did not think that the man and woman could not escape from the secret room just because the door was closed and the windows were closed. After all, they were two extraordinary beings in the middle order, and one of them was even a "demon" and might have special abilities to solve the problem.
Corresponding problems.
While Lumian was thinking about whether to look for traces, catch up, and clean up the dead on behalf of the "Dream Festival", he randomly checked various details in the room.
Suddenly, his pupils dilated and his eyes froze for a second.
He saw a feather lying quietly under the easy chair by the window.
White feathers covered with light butter stains!
Lumian's scalp went numb for a moment, and he quietly took two steps back and returned to the corridor.
That man and woman were dead like Leyasa, and had mutated?
What about their bodies?
Disappeared?
How will the human beings who "fell into gods" behave differently after leaving the "Dream Festival"?
With a ball of blazing white fire floating in the back of his head, Lumian looked at the room in front of him again with many questions. He felt that the "corpse" of a man and a woman might still be here, but he couldn't see it.
He cautiously walked into the room and came to the easy chair. He did not feel any unusual feelings and found no trace of the presence of invisible things.
Lumian took out the "Secret Peeping Glasses" and the "Eye of Truth" from the "Traveler's Bag" and put them on his face in turn.
He still didn't see the figures of the man and the woman. His vision was filled with chaotic darkness, lightless rivers, oily feathers, and imprisoned depths.
"After returning to reality, they completed the 'feathering' immediately and left here?" Lumian considered for a few seconds and activated the black mark on his right shoulder.
He was "teleported" to somewhere in the jungle, the edge area corresponding to a special dream.
As a "hunter", after being taken to the black tomb by Amandine, Lumian had already kept in mind the correct route and environmental characteristics, and spent nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the area where many tree roots protruded from the ground, like a large number of trees.
The area of knotted blood vessels.
However, the place where the black boulder-like ancient tomb should have stood was empty, with nothing in it.
"That black tomb only exists in dreams and cannot be touched by reality?" Lumian began to speculate seriously, "So, angels such as the 'Pale Queen' cannot come in person, and can only send people to participate in the 'Dream Festival'?"
As his thoughts raced, Lumian's eyes moved back and forth on the land corresponding to the black tomb.
It is indeed a bit different from the surrounding area. There are no tree roots protruding from the ground, and it is flat and stone-free.
Lumian approached thoughtfully, took out his straight sword, used it as a shovel, and tried to dig out the soil.
As soon as a small hole was dug, Lumian's eyelids twitched.
Buried in the dark brown soil are two white feathers stained with light butter!
Lumian took a slow breath and dug a little deeper.
Not long after, a piece of palm-sized, pale, dark, slightly moist and sticky strange soil came into view.
