A few days later, an investigation report on the village of Kordu was submitted to the Eighth Bureau of the Intis Intelligence and Homeland Security Committee, the "Mechanical Heart" of the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church, and the "Eternal Sun" Church of the Church of Eternal Sun.
Several big names read the report for the first time:
"Pre-existing situation: In the past year, there have been several disappearances of people in the province of Grabaka in the Kingdom of Fenneport near the Dariège region, and in the Haute-Hel region of the Republic of Lomburg, and several extraordinary people without official permission have mysteriously disappeared, and these things vaguely point to the shepherds who migrated in these three areas, among them, those from the village of Kordu are our main focus.
"So, after receiving that strange distress letter, we attached great importance to it and dispatched elite personnel to go to the area in the form of a joint investigation team.
"Here is the full written statement from the investigators:
"The anomaly in Kordu Village is divided into two layers, one is reality and the other is dream.
"The reality part:
"Kordu Village has actually been destroyed by a huge but ultimately unsuccessful Evil God Sacrifice Ritual, and no one survives except for a very small few.
"Most of the villagers have become nutrients for a failed evil god creation, and the rest have been reorganized in strange ways and turned into different monsters.
"The sacrificial ritual of the evil god brought about a change in the terrain, the river dried up and diverted, and the village square and church were pushed nearly 40 meters high by a small-scale orogeny, turning into a blood-colored pillar.
"That failed evil god creation is at the top of the giant pillar, but when we found it, it had already been destroyed, which may have been caused by self-disintegration or may have originated from the interference of other forces.
"The houses in Kordu Village have also been reorganized, with some forming a twisted circle of thorns around the blood-colored pillars, and some spreading out layer by layer in a circular shape......
"In these badly damaged buildings, we only found some coins and the most common small blue books, and did not find any written information or anything that clearly pointed to the village of Kordu for unknown reasons.
"Only the target Lumian. Only in Li's home do books, newspapers, magazines and other things with clear direction.
"In the ruins of Kordu Village, there are two areas around the blood-colored giant pillar that are inconsistent with the overall anomaly, one can make people fall asleep and enter a dream realm without resistance, and the other has vigorous vitality, overgrown with flowers and trees, and has a crib that shakes on its own.
"For the latter, we speculate that it is closely related to Lady Pualis of the village of Cordu (see the Dream section for a specific explanation).
"On the other edge of the Scarlet Column, we have excavated four well-preserved bodies, which are likely to correspond to the original churchyard.
"The first body was a woman, no more than twenty years old, strangled to death;
"The second body was a young male, also no more than 20 years old, who died of drowning;
"There are coffin fragments around the third body, female, older than 60 years old, died of mechanical asphyxiation, combined with other traces, we speculate that she was covered with a pillow;
"The fourth corpse is a male, not yet decomposed, his tongue was cut off before his death, and there are obvious strangulation marks on his neck.
"The above speculation about the corpse can be found in the dream section.
「……
"As soon as we enter the ruins of Kordu Village, we should be surrounded by Lumian. The influence of the power emanating from Li's body caused confusion in the memory of the date, and he no longer thought about when he would leave.
"We fell asleep one after another, and after entering the dream state, the body maintained a state of only weak activity, and there was no need to supplement food for several days. If this state continues for another ten days and a half, I am not sure if we will wake up hungry or die of hunger in our dreams.
"The entire ruins are in a cycle that may return to its original state at any time, and the trigger point is likely to be Lumian. Lee's self-perception and the various restrictions he set. The former refers to the case if Lumian. Li's subconscious mind thought that it would be restarted, so it would inevitably restart, and all kinds of restrictions came from the fact that he did not want anyone to destroy the current state of Kordu Village and the development of dreams.
「……
"We asked the villagers in several surrounding villages, but they did not notice anything unusual in Kordu Village.
"Through their answers and the information we had before, we identified three things:
"First, there is no legend of a dead wizard in Kordu Village (this refers to Lumian in the dream. A story told by Lee: There was once a wizard in Kordu Village, who flew in after his death, watched at his bedside for a while and then flew away, and the wizard's body became heavy and required nine cows to pull);
"Second, there have been no elves suspected of lizards in the Daliege area;
"Lent is a traditional folk custom, and there was no problem with it.
「……
"Dream part:
"This is from Lumian. Li's dreams are so real that we can't even detect the dreams we are dreaming of.
"We visited some psychologists and dream experts, and based on their opinions, we had a certain guess about this dream:
"It was created by Lumian. The various things that Li has personally experienced, all the novels he has read, and his conjectures and speculations based on the previous things are combined, showing obvious coincidences and the characteristics of wishes at some key nodes.
"In this dream, not all of the situations we encounter have actually happened, nor are they completely illusory.
"The various facts that were disrupted, the details of how people usually get along, and Lumian. Li's impressive illusory scenes are reassembled in a very chaotic and symbolic way, presented to our eyes.
"This is both a characteristic of dreams and may also come from Lumian. Li subconsciously avoids or fears certain problems.
"In the following sections, we will describe every detail of our experience:
「……
"We should have noticed our dreams very early, and the most obvious thing is that we don't remember to change clothes until Lumian. Li reminded or that the clothes were seriously damaged.
"This is quite abnormal performance, but humans can't think of so much in dreams.
"It has been confirmed that we did not send a telegram, and the corresponding return call is likely to come from Lumian. Lee's subconscious and the knowledge he had.
"Based on the various events of the dream and the real situation, we have the following speculation:
"Our consciousness and cognition enrich the dream to some extent and also expose some of our secrets to Lumian. Plum.
"There are at least two different evil god beliefs in the village of Kordu, one is a force represented by Madame Puaris, the wife of the administrator Beoster, and the other is the former parish priest Guillaume. The one that Bene and most of the villagers followed, and he was the one who finally caused the destruction of the village of Kordu.
"At the Lenten celebration, the 'Spring Elf' was cut off and forcibly sent away, symbolizing the force represented by Mrs. Pualis was driven out of the village of Kordui, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides. Lizier's beheading also symbolizes that the girl found something abnormal in reality, and when she tried to escape or snitch, she was attacked by Guillaume. Bene's gang secretly strangled him.
"Raymond. Clegg was thrown into the river, and the appearance of the spirit underground in the church symbolized that he, like Ava, was considered an informant and was forcibly drowned.
"Let. Maury discovered that his wife Sybil was having an affair with the former parish priest, and he was so angry that he became mute, symbolizing that as a devout believer in the 'Eternal Sun', when he tried to inform, he had his tongue cut off, and his subsequent disappearance meant that he was murdered.
"Naroka's death has the same strong symbolism as Ava, Raymond, and Jean, first, she should have secretly followed Madame Pualis and wanted to return the spirit of her deceased husband home through the Soul Messenger, so her post-death manifestation was to enter the other world, and second, she was likely to be killed by her youngest son Arno. Andre murdered, and the reason for the murder was most likely also the discovery of Guillaume. Bene's group wanted to tell Madame Pualis about the problem.
"Combined with our search for the ruins, the Lent celebration and the words that Madame Pualis can leave at a specific moment symbolize the Madame and her husband Beoster, the butler Louis. Lund and the maid Cassie had left Kordu Village before the Twelfth Night Ritual and are still alive, and their whereabouts are unknown.
"This reflects the dream of this lady refusing to help at a critical moment.
"But based on the circumstances presented by the eerie area with vigorous vitality, we suspect that Madame Pualis left something behind before she left, indirectly participating in the Twelfth Night ritual.
"The man in the black robe in the wizard's tomb should symbolize Lumian. Lee's alienated personality due to pollution, but for some reason, Lumian. Li showed that the degree of contamination was not deep, so that in the self-contest, he was more courageous and easily won......
"Aurora. Lee, Michelle. The strange lizard-looking creatures in the mouths of Galligu and the others are likely to symbolize their little bit of pollution, a little bit of alienation, and finally become another of their own.
「……
"Question:
"1. Lumian. Why did Lee know Guillaume. Bennet, Shepherd Pierre. What abilities did Berry and others have? If he had secretly seen it in reality, it would be understandable if he hadn't been discovered once or twice, but there must be an internal reason why he could grasp so much information but it wasn't processed.
"2. Those villagers and Aurora. Why Li can behave no different from a real person makes it difficult for us to detect that it is in a dream, until Lumian. Li thinks they should be abnormal?
"3. What does the other world symbolize?
"4. What does Madame Pualis have in the castle symbolize the large number of children and the crib containing intangible objects?
"5. Lumian. Why did Li imagine the process of villagers being polluted as a lizard-like elf parasitizing into his body?
"6. Lumian. Lee and Aurora. What does the fact that Lee tried to escape from Kordu Village but entered the other side of the world symbolize?
"7. Why did the Twelfth Night ceremony fail?
"8. Lumian. Why did Lee let us enter his dream realm? He obviously does not have the ability to do this.
"9. Why did he suddenly gain normal extraordinary abilities?
"10. Why did he survive, and why was he not strong but could cause the ruins of Kordu Village to fall into a circular state?
"11. Aurora. Li had completely different abnormalities in the two cycles, what is this and what does it mean?
"12. What does the legend of the dead wizard symbolize?
"13. What does the body of a sorcerer lying in a coffin in the catacombs symbolize?
"14. What does the owl symbolize?
"15. What does the change of constellation symbolize?
"16. Where is the source of the matter?
「……
"Conclusion and recommendations:
"This is a typical disaster caused by the worship of evil gods, and there are currently six survivors:
"Lumian. Lee, former parish priest Guillaume Lawrence. Bennet, Puaris. Virtue. Rockfort, Beoster, Louis. Lund, Cassie.
"The next five are all believers in evil gods, and they must be found and completely eliminated as soon as possible.
"For Lumian. Li, it is not recommended to kill him directly, before figuring out the problem with him, his death may lead to more serious mutations, the best treatment is to catch him and seal him somewhere.
