Fang Xian was about to speak but stopped when he suddenly saw the corner of Love's mouth twitching. It seemed that there were two consciousnesses in his body, one wanted to laugh and the other didn't want to laugh. The tug-of-war formed a strange expression, and he felt a chill in his heart.
'This town has long been enveloped by evil forces. We have been constantly affected since we entered this area... So Love, is he really still normal?'
'Although the investigators' will and resistance are stronger than ordinary people, in the face of real evil, human beings are still as insignificant as ants...'
He thought of this and silently recited the 'Hymn to Worms' in his mind.
The activated mental power gathered in his eyes, allowing him to see a completely different world.
The air was filled with colorful spores, and one after another... hyphae appeared on Love's body, in his eyes, nose, and ears...?
They seemed to pull Love's muscles, manipulate his body, and make him say words that he couldn't control.
From this perspective, Love was struggling hard, trying to yell something at him.
Fang Xian closed his eyes, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.
"What's wrong with you? Are you mentally exhausted? Or are you under shock?"
Love beside him asked with concern, his eyes were no different from before, sincere and clear.
The white crystal ring on his finger did not change at all.
'Fungi is a kind of life.'
'Love is controlled by countless lives, rather than being confused by evil forces. This is a physiological level, not a mental level, so it cannot be detected, and taking medicine is useless...'
The human body is inherently very fragile. You think your brain and will dominate everything, but in fact, hormones, such as dopamine, adrenaline, etc., are the masters of emotions.
Spores and fungi control the body and endocrine, forming a body 'cage' to imprison the brain!
The Love at this time is no longer him.
He has been changed a little bit without knowing it, and if he stays for a long time, this change will become more profound!
Human beings are still too insignificant in the face of real evil!
"I'm fine."
Fang Xian showed a bright smile: "Then let's go out, I want to go back to the hotel and take a rest."
"Well, Brock and I made an appointment to play cards together and try the new mushroom wine and mushroom biscuits..." Love swallowed, his eyes showing longing.
"OK."
Fang Xian felt a chill in his heart and assessed secretly: "At present, Love still thinks that he is an investigator and abides by the investigators' rules, but some of his thoughts and subconscious have been tampered with, and he thinks it is his subjective wish... If time
Any longer and the consequences will be disastrous."
He didn't show anything strange, and went out with Love, met up with the guide who had complained for a long time, and returned to the town of Landis.
Inside the hotel.
Love went directly to Bullock for a drink, while Fang Xian sat quietly in his room, thinking: "If I want to leave right away, what will Love choose? He seems to be a little resistant to leaving here, but the investigator
His instinct is struggling again...I feel like he will eventually struggle and fail."
"No... we destroyed this 'ceremony' and took away important items. If there is really an abnormal power in the town, we will definitely counterattack tonight!"
Thinking of this, Fang Xian opened the curtains.
On the quiet street, the street lights were turned off one by one.
The night seemed to be getting darker.
…
Fang Xian's body sank and seemed to be falling rapidly.
Snapped!
His boots landed firmly on the ground and he had arrived in a forest of white mushrooms.
"Am I not in a hotel? Why are I here?"
"Wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten something?"
Fang Xian felt that a force was trying to control him, but he sneered. The sixth-level alchemist suppressed everything, and immediately regained his mobility and his thinking became clearer.
"I am in a dream!"
"Worm, has the power to penetrate into dreams?"
He thought that there was indeed a word like 'dream' in the 'Hymn to Worms', and he immediately understood: "Is counterattack in dreams? Abnormalities are mostly in dreams? No wonder there are no abnormalities in the real world..."
The surrounding environment is very similar to that of the cave where the ceremony was held during the day.
Fang Xian raised his legs and wanted to walk to the cave, but found that he took one step out and entered a dense forest. He was lost!
Not only that, he saw that warts had grown one after another on the backs of his hands, which seemed to be parasitic fungi or the spores of some kind of plant.
‘The power of rituals has transformed the real area, not only making the soil fertile and rich, but also spreading fungi and spores? Will the air here be polluted if it is absorbed?’
Fang Xian nodded and didn't care about this.
His symptoms are much milder than Love's, and he can sustain himself by his own will.
But at this time, you don't dare to act without authorization, otherwise you will get lost in the depths of the dream, which is no joke.
Because this is a dreamland and there is no direction at all!
You may appear to be going forward, but you may actually be going backwards. You may appear to be turning left, but you may actually be turning right.
Maybe just by taking a small step, it is possible to cross a continent!
This is the dream!
"Are you coming to pick mushrooms too?"
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
Fang Xian looked over and saw a young man wearing a shirt and suspenders, carrying a pocket.
"No, I'm looking for a cave with a large number of bright mushrooms at the entrance, but I'm lost..." Fang Xian said calmly: "Who are you?"
"My name is Little Jack, and I'm here to pick mushrooms. I seem to have seen that cave before..."
Little Jack thought for a while and beckoned: "Follow me!"
He ran out of the forest. Fang Xian thought for a while and followed him. This time he didn't lose his way and soon saw the cave.
"I...I seem to come here often, and I also like to eat mushrooms!"
Little Jack's throat rolled and his expression became confused. He stepped forward to pick a mushroom and put it in his mouth.
Immediately, he stood up expressionlessly, and mushrooms sprouted one after another from his face, body, and clothes.
"Yes, you have been completely influenced by this place and have a 'connection' with mysticism, so you can bring me here..."
Fang Xian smiled and looked at the cave: "Come out!"
One after another, figures came out of the cave. Most of them were small town residents, but all of them had expressionless faces and their bodies were covered with plaque and mushrooms.
At the head are nine foreigners wearing black robes with black hair and black eyes.
"You're an investigator!"
When a foreigner spoke, his eyes were no longer empty, but filled with resentment.
"You shouldn't have come."
Another stranger sighed and asked someone to take Love out.
At this time, his whole body was wrapped in mycelium, like a cocoon, with only his head exposed.
"Are you the pagans who once tried to spread the "Secret Gu Scripture"? After the plan failed, you fled here, sacrificed your lives to the hidden existence, and started a long ceremony to hide yourself and accumulate strength... Your
Although the body is dead, the spirit lives on in this dream..."
"Over a long period of time, we have accumulated enough strength. The goddess of fertility has given us her children. This time, we will not fail again!"
