Chapter 688 Hallucination
Outside Tizamo Town, before entering the jungle.
Lumian and the others heard gunfire and shouting in the direction of the barracks—it was densely populated and armed compared to the town and plantations, and many people died every year.
Camus took his gaze back and sighed like a middle-aged man.
He knew that he was powerless to stop this kind of thing, and he found a way to make the "Dream Festival" end early so that more people could survive.
This is why he chose to follow Louis. The reason why Berry went to that black tomb.
He would rationally choose to find an uninhabited, hidden corner, hide until dawn like Kolobo, and hide until the end of the "Dream Festival", but after meeting Louis. Berry's strength, discovering that this great adventurer was actually willing to take risks, after getting close to the black ancient tomb, he felt that he still needed to do something.
Lumian looked ahead, followed Amandina, who was light-footed, and turned into a path in the jungle.
He never thought that he could completely end the "Dream Festival" on his own, and the purpose of his trip has always been very clear:
Find the batch of gold that "Hisoka" got and the item he got from the Devil of the House of North, find out what the core member of "April Fool's Day" is planning, and prevent his legacy from becoming a reality.
This is not only the responsibility of the Minor Arcana card of the "Tarot Society", but also Lumian's cautious attitude towards the matter of "Hisoka" - after discovering the dream projection left by "Hisoka", he is worried that the other party can use the pre-arrangement and dream projection to resurrect to some extent during the "Dream Festival" and return to the real world in the form of resentful spirits.
He would not give "Hisoka" this chance.
When he obtained the confession of Father Kali, 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, and this special dream is usually nothing unusual, and it seems that no one needs to monitor it day after day.
You must know that before the "Hisoka" family was burned to death, the special dream realm existed for an unknown number of years, and the "Dream Festival" was staged many times, and no one ever found the problem.
This abnormal behavior led Lumian to think that the essence of "Siso" Twanako asking Father Cali to help monitor the dream was to confirm the situation of his dream projection:
If "Hisoka" wants it to exist forever, he must come back and live for a period of time after it fades to a certain extent, and because the dream around the black boulder is usually in a chaotic state, the fading speed of the dream projection is likely to be irregular, which requires someone to keep an eye on it every day, and as soon as they find that the fading situation has become serious, they will immediately send a telegram to let "Hisoka" come back.
As a "demon", he will inevitably be wary of Father Cali using his dream projection to do something, so as to erase this hidden danger of himself.
And how to monitor changes in dreams? Judging from the dream projection and the state of the tomb keeper next to the black tomb!
Lumian regretted that he couldn't enter the dream, so he could only let Amandina be responsible for asking Father Cali, and a lot of the information he got was superficial and did not touch the substance, and could only be used to assist in analysis.
If he interrogated Father Kali, he should have roughly figured out Hisoka's goal by now, not just suspicion.
At present, the clues of gold and the devil's gift point to the black tomb, Lumian naturally wants to go over and take a look, do what he can, if he really can't deal with it, he will decisively withdraw to Tizamo Town and hide on the third or fourth floor of the Briu Hotel, so that "danger" can touch the appetite Ludwig.
In an environment where rustling sounds were constant and beasts howling frequently, Amandina led Lumian and the others through the rainforest trees, approaching the edge of the dream.
Suddenly, Lumian raised his right hand and whispered:
"Stop."
He sniffed and smelled the smell of blood.
With the keenness and finesse of the "Reaper's" sense of smell, Lumian also distinguished that this blood did not belong to the jungle animals that hunted each other, it came from humans and was rich in spirituality.
"What's wrong?" Amandina was startled, as if she had regained the feeling she had when she first followed Robert deep into this jungle.
Camus quickly noticed the problem, and he pointed in the direction where the smell of blood came from:
"Something is wrong over there."
The mosquitoes gathered in that area.
Although Lumian was eager to reach the side of the black tomb to prevent the plan left by "Hisoka" from being successfully launched, he knew very well that the more eager he was, the more cautious he became, and the more he had to pay attention to various anomalies along the way, so as not to step into the traps preset by others, or miss key information and start conflicts recklessly.
Aurore once said that Roselle the Great may have said that he couldn't drink hot soup in a hurry.
Lumian walked unsteadily towards the source of the smell of blood.
As the distance closed, he smelled the pungent smell and rotting smell suppressed by the smell of blood.
The former is derived from tranquility essential oils used to repel mosquitoes.
After Lumian went around a few more trees crawling with poisonous insects, he saw a corpse lying on his back on the humus soil.
The corpse's eyes were wide open, his black hair was disheveled, and his face was smeared with white oil paint, just like the captain of the Tizamo Town patrol team, Meslow!
At the beginning of the "Dream Festival", Maslow, who "disappeared" behind Lumian's side, appeared in the jungle in the form of a corpse!
"Meslow!" Camus and Rheia, who followed him, made surprised sounds at the same time.
They haven't had time to be sad yet.
Lumian looked down and checked the cause of Maslow's death.
The local patrol team captain had deep wounds one after another between his chest and abdomen, as if he had been attacked by spears, triangular thorns and other weapons, but the edges were torn.
A large amount of blood had already flowed to the ground, attracting mosquitoes to linger, and there were many obvious traces of decay on Myslow's body, and the yellow-green liquid seeped out, as if he had been dead for two or three days.
After confirming the condition on the surface of the corpse and checking the surrounding battle marks, Camus said in a low voice:
"Attacked by the power of the Death Realm......
Death realm? Lumian suddenly thought of a cold middle-aged man in a thin formal suit.
Deputy Captain of the Port of Pyros Patrol Team, Reasa!
He is an extraordinary person in the middle sequence of the "Reaper" path!
At the beginning of the "Dream Festival", Rhazar "disappeared" with Maslow.
Camus looked at Rheia with a painful look on her face, and said hesitantly:
"They were affected by the 'Dream Festival', lost their self-control, attacked each other, one died, and the other fled?"
This is the speculation that is most suitable for the current situation of the "Dream Festival".
Lumian thought of a similar scene, but he frowned in confusion and said:
"Why are they in the jungle?"
Normally, shouldn't it appear where your reality is?
In reality, Rhasa and Maslow had already returned to Tizamo with me......
Something drew them to the jungle?
As the only member of the Palos Harbor patrol team to support the town of Tizamo, Rhasa knew from the beginning what was wrong here, and the real target was the black tomb?
Lumian looked at Camus and Rhea thoughtfully, and asked casually:
"Is Maslow and Reasa on good terms?"
"Very good." Camus sighed and replied, "Maslow was recruited by Captain Reasa to join the patrol team and trained little by little."
Lumian stopped speaking and said to Amandina and the others:
"Let's move on."
Rhea and Camus seized the time, got some branches down, simply covered Maslow's body, and quickly followed the team.
After walking along the jungle path for a while, Amandina suddenly slowed down and raised her hand to press the side of her head.
"What's wrong?" Lumian asked keenly.
Amandina frowned and said:
"My head was a little swollen and I had some hallucinations."
"What hallucination?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.
Amandina herself said in confusion:
"I saw the scene from the last time I touched that black boulder, no, the black tomb, and I have a feeling of going back to the beginning, do you understand, the past has appeared in my head in the form of hallucinations, in front of my eyes, next to my ears."
Lumian thought for a moment and said before Camus spoke:
"Go a little further and give it a try."
It was just that some hallucinations did not make Amandina have the idea of retreating, she held the mentality of experimentation, and walked a few dozen meters forward along the familiar jungle road.
"How is it?" Lumian next to her asked.
Amandina organized the following words:
"The hallucination is clearer and more obvious."
"The closer you get to the Black Tomb, the stronger the hallucination?" Lumian first proposed a possibility, and then asked, "Did Robert have a similar situation when he brought you here last time?"
"No." Amandina was sure, "He's been normal all the way."
"Maybe he has been close more than once before, and he is used to hallucinations." Camus guessed.
"Who knows...... Amandina muttered, looking at Louis. Berry said, "What now?"
It's not a big problem if it's just an illusion...... Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Look further."
"Okay." Amandina didn't know what the hallucination meant, so she endured the discomfort and said, "We can get to that tomb in a few minutes."
She took a step and continued to move forward.
As she walked, Amandina suddenly stretched out her right hand, held down the jungle tree next to her, and bent her back.
Without waiting for Lumian to ask, she stated the change in her hallucination herself, speaking intermittently:
"I saw that after I touched the tomb last time, I didn't, I didn't fall asleep immediately, I, I'm still awake!
"I, I saw a person in front of me!"
