At this time, the [soothsayer] no longer had a human, rational look on his face.

There is only madness like a beast that has been cornered.

He looked around uneasily and in trepidation, as if everything around him was foreign to him and incomprehensible.

In fact, nothing has changed in the environment itself.

What has been changed and distorted is only the perception of the soothsayer!

Just as Aono had felt before, all the things around him changed in his observations, turning into hideous monsters.

I'm afraid that at this time, the image of himself and others in his eyes must be indescribably terrifying.

"Oh!"

The soothsayer roared, an inhuman roar coming out of his throat, a sign of his loss of normal human speech.

Not only is his eyes wary, but the soothsayer's movements have changed to a vigilant posture, attacking anyone who comes near him at any time.

"He's crazy."

Hino Yuki said in a mournful tone.

The transcendent are destined to be a group of people who are accompanied by madness.

In the past few actions, many teammates have fallen into madness in front of their eyes, but this time the madness of the [Fortune Teller] was still beyond his expectations.

"Let me do it."

Hino Ayaka's cold aura spread, enveloping the [soothsayer] and quickly condensing into a thin layer of ice crystals.

caused his body, along with his hideous countenance, to freeze temporarily.

With her control, she can easily control the [Fortune Teller] without causing too much damage to his body.

Moreover, it is not the first time that Ayaka Hino has dealt with this situation.

"He, he's ......"

From the beginning of divination until now, Hitomi Amamiya, whose sense of presence seems extremely thin, couldn't help but ask.

The [Fortune Teller]'s divination methods were not the same as he originally imagined, he didn't ask for his hair or blood, if it wasn't for the fact that before falling asleep, the [Fortune Teller] stared at him for more than ten seconds, Amamiya Hitomi didn't even think that this matter had anything to do with him.

And the changes that are happening now are also something that Hitomi Amamiya has never imagined.

Even Hitomi Amamiya is barely a transcendent, but because his inspiration and talent are too poor, he has not yet come into contact with the real, cruel transcendent world.

"Backlash."

Hino Yuki's eyebrows lowered.

Heavy explained.

"In his remarks just now, there is actually a possibility that was not mentioned."

"If the inspiration of the divination target is unusually strong, he will not only be able to perceive the location and identity of the diviner? Is it even possible to pass this divination? Attack the soothsayer from the soul. ”

"Oh no, for them? Maybe it's not an 'attack'? It's just a little bit of attention. ”

"But it's that kind of attention, for transcendents like us? Is it equivalent to seeing things that shouldn't be seen, knowing things that shouldn't be known, especially in a dream world? People's affordability is even more vulnerable. ”

"The result? As you can see. ”

Amamiya Hitomi lowered his head, the madness on the [Fortune Teller's] face froze in the thin ice, but it was still a deep chill in his heart.

"According to common sense, it is just a 'carrier' for divination? This is not going to happen. ”

"We are also confident in the abilities of the soothsayer? That's why there is no mention of this possibility. ”

Ayaka Hino picked up the conversation and continued.

"This means that either among the group of believers who performed the ritual, there are soothsayers who surpass him."

"Or...... It was they who had called Him. ”

"How so?"

Kanda Yukie's expression was gloomy.

Even if she and the [soothsayer] have only known each other for less than half an hour? I don't even know his real name, but to see him fall into madness right in front of his eyes? The little girl's mood sank to the bottom.

"Actually, [soothsayers] are not without the possibility of recovery."

Ayaka Hino comforted.

"After a period of recuperation, supplemented with special treatments? It's possible to piece his shattered mind back together,"

"How many cases have you had? So don't worry too much? We'll take care of him. ”

"Compared to this? The last message he got was...... Magma? ”

"Magma, mountains, lakes."

Aono opened his mouth to add, and then asked.

"Is this some kind of peculiar hint? Or describe the exact location? ”

"It's all possible."

Yuki Hino replied.

"The information obtained from divination in a dream may be either of these two, or both."

These three words can lead to too many images.

Mountains can refer to tall buildings, lakes can refer to places where water sources gather - it may be oceans or reservoirs, and lava can refer to hot areas, or soothsayers can see images full of blood flowing like lava.

If the soothsayer is still awake, then these are naturally not questions, just ask him and you can get answers.

But now, it is up to them to guess and come up with the answer that is as correct as possible.

"I think it should be somewhere in reality."

Aono frowned in thought, and finally spoke.

"He ended by emphasizing 'magma' and explaining that it wasn't fire, and it wasn't blood."

Hino nodded in agreement with Aono's opinion: "That's true. ”

"But where is such a place?"

Kanda Yukie meditates.

"Then, there should be only ......"

Aono guessed the answer and looked around.

"Mt. Fuji."

When you think of Japan, you think of Mt. Fuji.

When you think of Mt. Fuji, you think of Japan.

This ancient mountain range, along with kimonos and cherry blossoms, has become one of the symbols of Japan.

At the same time, it is also one of the most dangerous active volcanoes in Japan.

"Danger" means that, if it does erupt, it could cause incalculable casualties and damage.

In fact, Mt. Fuji is dormant, with the most recent eruption in 1707, and it is generally safe.

On the bright side, Mt. Fuji belongs to Tokyo, Japan.

However, this is just a statement with gold on the face, and there is always something special about associating the capital with such a famous mountain.

It is located in the south-central part of the island of Honshu, about 80 kilometers from Tokyo, between Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, and is about the same size as the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "very tall mountain".

Lakes - Anyone who has studied geography knows that in the subtropics, snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all year round, and lakes are easy to form in the foothills. Mt. Fuji is a powerful example, with five freshwater lakes scattered throughout the foothills, making it a popular destination for many tourists.

There is no need to repeat the point of magma.

The closest and most likely location to Tokyo is here.

So, at 12 o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Aono and the others took a helicopter and came to the sky above Mt. Fuji.

Modern technological creations are often powerless in the face of anomalous existence.

But in this case, it's still easier to use.

By the way, Hitomi Amamiya was left at home, and a new member - the swordsman was carried on board the helicopter as a supplement to his combat power.

The current swordsman's injuries are almost healed.

His injuries looked serious, but they did not become permanently disabled, and the broken bones could always grow, but the severed arms and thighs would not grow back.

It's in the state of a swordsman.,Since it's a few points better than Hino Ayaka.。

"Whew-whew-"

A cold wind whistled outside the helicopter cabin.

In winter, at this altitude, the temperature outside the cabin has reached more than ten degrees below zero.

When you look down from the heights, the scenery is magnificent.

A vast expanse of snow covered the summit of the mountain and a large area next to it, and in the center of it, the closed crater was also covered with snow.

Centered on the crater, it spreads outward to a certain extent, and the snow disappears, and it is a black-brown rock.

Further on, you will see five clear and bright lakes, reflecting bright light like mirrors in the sun.

There are also woods under the mountains, and towns built around the mountains.

At such a height, everything seems so small, so insignificant.

The scenery is indeed magnificent, but the minds of Aono and the others are not focused on the scenery at all.

Where are they still in the mood to enjoy the scenery now?

Even if only two hours have passed, if the other party is already aware of the "divination", they may leave their original position.

Then, the madness of the [soothsayer] will all be in vain.

But now, a serious question is still in front of them.

Mt. Fuji is not a small mountain!

It covers an area of almost 1,200 square kilometers.

Even if the scope is locked in this area, it is still not easy to find the believers hiding in it.

Or rather, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!

"Mother, let me come."

On the helicopter, Hino said firmly.

At this time, the orange-haired young man no longer has the usual hangings and frivolity, but is very sincere.

It seems that even if Ayaka Hino refuses, he will insist on doing so.

"I can still bear the future when it is narrowed down to this range."

Ayaka Hino looked at her son in silence, and finally sighed heavily.

"Alright then, only this once."

The seal-like barrier gradually dissipated from under Hino's eyes.

And at this time, Aono unexpectedly discovered-

After unlocking the seal, the depths of the pupils of Hino Yuki's eyes were actually split.

It is important to know that the "split" here is not divided into two halves, but is composed of countless small lines that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and because they are too dense, if you don't look closely, you can only see a complete pupil.

But if you look carefully, you can see those chaotic lines.

The thin lines are even constantly wriggling, spreading, elongating or shortening, changing dynamically.

Rao is Qingye looked at it carefully for two or three seconds, and he felt a little physical discomfort.

At this time, Hino Yuki, as if he didn't notice Aono's gaze, looked straight ahead, and was spying on countless possible futures!

In less than a second, Hino closed his eyes.

Whispered, "Found it." ”

Despite the short time, his complexion was pale, he was sluggish, and he looked nauseous and wanted to vomit.

All the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

The more powerful the power, the greater the cost.

When Ayaka Hino resealed Yuki's eyes, he pointed in one direction of the snowy mountain.

The helicopter flew there.

Soon, a sparkling lake appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The lake is called Lake Yamanaka.

It is the highest of the Toyama Five Lakes at around 1,000 metres above sea level, but compared to its previous heights, it is warm enough to describe as warm.

Tourists visit the area all year round and the area next to Mt. Fuji is a perfect place to enjoy the hot springs and take photos of the mountain up close.

Quite a few tourists also noticed the apparently unusual helicopter.

But there were many abnormal things, and they had long been used to it, so they didn't make too much commotion.

Hino pointed to the side of Lake Yamanaka near the main peak of Mt. Fuji.

Aono also quickly discovered the anomaly, and there was some familiar smell on the rock wall of the mountain.

"Found it!"

The helicopter landed on a relatively flat ground, and the group followed a path upwards, and sure enough, they found a hidden entrance to the rock face that led to the interior of the mountain.

This tunnel does not look like it was built by man.

In ancient times, the movement of the earth's crust caused the flow of magma, resulting in lava tunnels.

The inner walls are rugged and are lava formed by the solidification of magma.

From the entrance, it looks like a tunnel to another world, deep and dark.

No one knows what's hidden inside.

Yuki Hino's abilities were unfit for combat and he was left outside.

In addition, Aono, Kanda Yukie, Hino Ayaka and the swordsman walked together into the tunnel.

If time permits, the more high-end combat power the better, but at this time, there are only four of them.

But this time, even the swordsman and Ayaka Hino have extraordinary confidence in Aono's strength.

- They have seen the extraordinary ability displayed by Aono in the face of the sacrificial crickets, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "shocking".

But the two didn't know that what Qingye did at that time was actually with a gambling mentality, which was a last resort.

Even he himself may not have sufficient faith.

And the black mist has also suffered significant damage as a result, and has not recovered until now.

Moreover, Aono still had deep suspicions.

- Is the enemy they will face really just Tomie?

From beginning to end, this incident exudes an indescribable weirdness.

Whether it's the missing Akiko Ishiyama, or the mysterious ritual, or the believers who arrange the ritual, they all seem very abnormal, and there is always something unspeakably strange.

Believer......

Aono chewed on the word.

The anomaly for no reason swept through his heart like a tornado again.

So Aono finally noticed a problem that he had been ignoring.

'Wait......'

'Why don't I know anything about believers?' ’

Or why didn't I ask them? ’
