There are no street lights in Morola at night, and it relies purely on the crimson moon high in the sky to provide light. There is deep darkness and rich shadows everywhere.
Gusin, dressed as a gentleman, carried a lantern and led Lumian to a neighborhood near the edge of the city.
The place is completely abandoned because a small volcano rose from the ground and swallowed up several houses, leaving it surrounded by charred ruins.
"The place you are talking about is not under the volcano, right?" Lumian looked around, adjusted his sleeves, and said with a smile.
Gu Xin nodded lightly and said:
"Yes, that volcanic eruption affected the underground part of the cemetery, allowing the power inside to seep out. The magma quickly receded, leaving only a hollow.
"If you can find the right path in the cave filled with the fog of war and reach the intended destination, it means that you have the qualifications to attack the underground part of the cemetery with us."
The fog of war... Gu Xin has been using this term to describe the fog in the underground. It does seem to be leaked from the underground mausoleum. There is "0-01" representing the "Red Priest"... Lumian did not pinch himself.
Illuminated by a blazing white fireball, I followed Gu Xin, who was carrying a lantern, and turned into a building on the edge of the volcanic area.
In a house filled with solidified volcanic rocks, the two walked along the rickety stairs and entered the semi-collapsed basement.
A crack has been torn open in the basement wall, and outside is a hollow filled with thick fog.
"You need to go here near the underground part of the cemetery and light the oil lamp between the four stone statues. Remember, there are four humanoid statues facing each other." Gu Xin hung the lantern on the crack in the wall.
He took out a simple map on a stone brick and pointed to the location of the destination.
Lumian looked carefully for a minute or two, then cast his gaze thoughtfully on the thick fog outside the crack:
"What's so special about this mist?"
Gu Xin pressed the half-high silk hat on his head and said with a smile:
"It can significantly reduce your visual range, affect your hearing and smell, suppress the interaction between your astral body and the spiritual world, and make your spiritual warning and spiritual intuition dull."
"What else?" Lumian asked seemingly relaxed.
Gu Xin thought for a few seconds and said:
"The fog of war has shrouded the corresponding spiritual world in this area. Even if some extraordinary people can enter the spiritual world, they cannot complete their positioning and escape from the fog. If they want to forcibly 'teleport' out, they are likely to get lost somewhere in Morola.
We can never return to reality."
Can I "teleport" anywhere that my eyes can see? And with the eyesight of a "hunter", I can only see clearly within five or six meters now... Lumian roughly understood the role of the fog of war and smiled.
Vocal:
"If I can create a hurricane, can I blow them away?"
"We have tried it, and it works, but when the wind stops, the fog will come back, and the dispersion is limited to the real world, and will not affect the part of the fog that penetrates into the spiritual world." Gu Xin briefly described the results of the previous experiment.
Lumian asked a few more details, smiled and pinched a ball of blazing white flame, letting it float above his head.
He stepped forward, passed through the gap, and walked step by step into the thick fog.
The mist was not as cold and clammy as normal, but instead had a burning sensation like being set on fire. As soon as Lumian breathed into his nose, his entire airway felt a burning pain, the smell of burnt blood, and the smell of rust.
The smell filled his mind at the same time.
The solid, thick fog began to billow, and the earth trembled slightly.
Lumian then saw tall figures coming out of the mist five or six meters away.
These figures are made of black iron, and there are many dark red rust stains on the surface, like metal dolls that have been idle for many years.
Some of them are missing arms, some have uncoordinated bodies, and some have a big hole in their chest and abdomen. They all stagger towards Lumian from all directions, holding huge swords with cold light in their hands.
.
Lumian laughed:
"Who picked you up from the trash?
"Waste recycling?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot and appeared behind one of the iron dolls.
His eyes were stained with iron black, and his right fist burned with a blazing white flame, hitting the waist and hip joint of the iron doll like a giant bird falling to the ground.
Suddenly, a blazing white flame spear flew out from the crack in the wall and ran towards Lumian who had just waved his fist at an extremely fast speed.
Lumian had no time to dodge or use "Spirit World Travel", so he could only fall to the ground with the force of his right fist.
At the same time, he was ready to exchange his shadow and his body.
Bang!
His right fist, burning with white flames, hit the waist and crotch of the iron doll, leaving dense cracks like spider webs there.
Then, his fist scraped against the metal surface, causing his body to fall to the ground. He narrowly avoided the blazing white flame spear, but only a handful of his hair was ignited.
With a clanging sound, the blazing white flame spear penetrated the body of the iron doll and landed two meters away, revealing the figure of Gu Xin wearing a half-high silk top hat.
It was this tester who attacked Lumian!
He is the second most dangerous person in Morola!
Click, click, the iron doll took a step forward with inertia, and its body began to disintegrate from the waist and hips, collapsing, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Lumian, who fell to the ground, did not roll over. He "teleported" directly to the crack covered by thick fog while not far away from the basement, and moved as much as possible within the visual range in order to escape the fog of war as soon as possible.
By then, whether it is to counter-kill Gu Xin or find an opportunity to escape, he will be more calm than now.
If you have a choice, try not to fight in someone else’s preset scene!
As soon as Lumian's figure emerged from the thick fog near the crack in the basement, a metal spear wrapped with white flames suddenly appeared in his eyes. It seemed to be waiting for Lumian to hit him and stab it.
Lumian's heart.
Besides Gu Xin, there is also an ambusher!
Guxin's attack just now seems to be to induce Lumian to "teleport" towards the exit and step into the trap!
At this time, Lumian was in Morola, far away from Francajana. He could not borrow the "mirror stand-in" they made. He could only activate the contract mark in the light of lightning and let the fire shine out.
The shadow flipped up and switched positions with the main body.
puff!
The metal spear filled with blazing white flames penetrated Lumian's chest, setting his whole body on fire.
But Lumian's figure became thinner and darker, like a shadow melting in the firelight.
The man holding the metal spear immediately walked through the gap into the fog of war.
His hair seemed to be dyed a layer of blood, his facial features were extremely aggressive, and he was wearing a black jacket with red stripes, making him look like Albus Medici.
Albus Medici, who was supposed to be searched by Gusin, actually appeared here!
Lumian's figure was quickly outlined in another direction, but due to the fog of war, the distance between him and Albus, Gusin, and the other black iron dolls was no more than six meters.
He saw that Gu Xin's eyebrows were faintly red, as if something was about to come out, and he saw that Albus's hair was covered with red flames and spread down, as if it had grown from short to long.
"You traitor." Gu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered as if he was condemning the crime.
He immediately created blazing white fireballs one after another, and let them hit Lumian in an attitude of covering every corner.
He didn't seem to be afraid of affecting himself and Albus at all, considering that the distance between them was only five or six meters, and the fireball he was creating was enough to plow down the "Carnivore" bar.
After hearing Guxin's words and seeing Albus Medici's posture, Lumian suddenly understood the reason why he was attacked:
He ignored the existence of the "Iron Cross"!
This secret organization, which uses "Hunters" as its main channel, should also be looking for the whereabouts of "0-01". After many years, there is a high probability that someone has infiltrated Morola.
One of these people is Gusin!
And with the strange connection between the core members of the "Iron Cross" and the Fourth Age Trier, they can maintain a certain sense of self in Morola and use the power of "0-01" to sense the approach of the law enforcement team in advance.
Understandable, and consistent with Gu Xin’s performance!
The current situation is that Albus Medici seems to be still cooperating with the "Iron Cross" and still using this secret organization, and Lumian wants to use the power of Gusin and others to find Albus Medici.
The attempt to come out was exploited by them and turned into a trap.
Looking at the flying white fireballs, and looking at Albus Medici who was blocking the exit and preparing something, Lumian did not hesitate at all. The cuffs of his sleeves flashed, and the figure disappeared again.
.
But this time, a makeup mirror was left in his place.
The makeup mirror fell straight down in the thick fog, causing many cracks.
Boom!
The group of blazing white fireballs created by Gu Xin exploded, but only affected a range of five to six meters. They failed to push away the thick fog of war and were restricted to a small area.
The vanity mirror was turned into countless fragments in the violent explosion. Some of the fragments were either shattered into slag or melted and re-solidified.
Albus looked at the rising white fire, felt the impact waves coming towards his face, and said to himself with a slightly confused expression:
"Use the mirror world?"
Behind the dark and empty mirror, Lumian used the "Mirror Button" again and quickly looked ahead, discovering that the illusory and dark spider web-like tunnels had not been eroded by the fog of war.
Sure enough, in Morola, the mirror world is special... It was with the "mirror buckle" that Lumian dared to "believe" in Gu Xin, dared to walk into the fog of war, and "accepted" the test.
Of course, with the "Sword of Courage" and other magical items, he was not incapable of fighting just now, but before he had figured out Albus Medici's trump card, he did not want to risk his life on the opponent's preset battlefield.
Lumian then chose a mirror mark located in Morola, used "Spirit World Travel", and left here.
As soon as he disappeared from this place, the empty and dark area behind the mirror disintegrated silently as the mirror was completely shattered.
The end point of Lumian's "teleportation" is the mirror in Julie's room.
As soon as he arrived at his destination, he looked at the outside world through the glass mirror and found that Julie, the "witch", was missing and was not sleeping in the bed.
The corners of Lumian's mouth quirked up a little.
