58 Welcome to the Town of Rest (25)
This concludes the narrative of flax.
I've finally figured out how the prophet died. The "large number of maggots that emerge from the body of the prophet" in the flax narrative is undoubtedly a living creature created out of thin air through the uncontrolled psionic energy of the prophet's mind-devouring state of mind. This living creature was born to devour the Prophet, so after devouring the Prophet, the mission was completed, and one died without being left behind. As a reflection of the dream monster, this kind of death is tragic, but it will definitely not be the last. Presumably, he will experience all kinds of tragedies in other nightmares in the future, and he will come to an end with all kinds of tragic deaths.
The problem is "another mapper". Yes, since the prophet is dead, but the town nightmare is not over yet, it means that there must be another reflection of the dream monster in the town nightmare. And since the soothsayer is human, there is a high chance that the other mapper is also human. Only by solving this map can we completely get rid of the nightmare of the town. I already know who this map really is, but now is not the time. I'll have to find a way to deal with the Fury in a small-town nightmare.
But am I really able to deal with the violence? I'm weaker now than I was when I was dreaming within a dream, and I'm in the dark, and the town nightmare is confined to the shelter by the fog. If it were to struck, I would have no room to regroup, let alone switch to an assassination strategy. Even if you have a weapon that kills with one hit, if you can't even touch the violent body, then it doesn't make any sense.
Just as I was considering the situation, Hu Ma hesitated to say about the doppelganger Xu Fu, "He, it seems that there is something changing. I don't know what to say, but he seems to ......"
"It's normal to have changes. At the end of the day, he's just a mentally unstable, ordinary teenager. "Just like any other teenager, it's easy to be changed by external circumstances." He had always lived in a peaceful place, and it was the first time he had encountered so many cruel things, so it was not surprising that he would be cranky. ”
"Is that so?" He fell into deep thought.
"That's it." I'm going to cover up the problem of the doppelganger Xu Fu in this way, "As a senior in life, you should be more tolerant of his changes." ”
"The predecessor of life...... Tolerate ......" At this moment, his eyes changed, "Yes...... When he is at a loss, I should have helped more...... I was so bad before, I have to work harder in the future! ”
I felt as if he was thinking about something superfluous.
I'm also quite concerned about the change of the doppelganger Xu Fu. Normally, I don't take the initiative to influence how other people choose between their own reason and feelings, but he directly advises Hu Ma to follow his own emotional actions; Normally, I would never equate death with peace of mind, but he declared it. He's undoubtedly becoming less and less like me.
How does he himself see this change? Does he think this change in himself is good or bad? I don't know now. The only thing I know is that he doesn't want to bring me the changes he makes. So he would rather kill himself than refuse to return with his memories on his own initiative.
"What was the item he threw at the prophet?" I asked.
"It looks like a cell phone." Hu Ma said.
The cell phone, that is, there is a video of the prophet committing the crime? That's why the prophet directly confesses his crimes?
But the prophet is a psyker with a special skill in detection, and an "ordinary person" like the doppelganger Xu Fu can't lurk and video near the prophet at all. In other words, the prophet actually knew that the doppelganger Xu Fu was lurking in the shadows, but he pretended not to know?
Did the prophet deliberately let the doppelganger Xu Fu expose himself?
Just then, the Turin doctor approached from a distance and handed me the treated dagger, "The poison is attached, you can use it." ”
"Okay." I took the short knife and looked down. Although it is attached to the curse, there is no particularly noticeable change in appearance. It seems to glow with a faint red light on the blade.
"Huh? Doctor of Turin? Hu Ma was taken aback, "Already awake?" Why? What's going on? ”
I condensed my previous experiences into three hundred words and told him about them, omitting the things that were hard to say and the things that were troublesome.
"Doctor Turin is being violently hunted down by the withered cultists, and you fought the Furious in Doctor Turin's dreams before?" Hu Ma summed it up while remembering what I said not long ago, "You said that you came to rest in peace to hunt down psionic criminals, could it be that this psionic criminal is violent?" ”
"Exactly." I nodded without changing my face, and the Turin doctor gave me a wordless look.
"That is, Violent is a bad guy and the Turin doctor is a good guy?" Hu Ma asked.
"The doctor of Turin is not necessarily a good person, but the violent person must be a bad person." I corrected.
"Hey, I'm still here." The Turin doctor couldn't help but remind.
"I see." Hu Ma nodded solemnly, "Then let's go and defeat the violence." ”
"It's not 'us', it's just me." I say.
"Huh?" Hu Ma was stunned, "But I can also come in handy." You see, as long as I go all out, my firepower can even reach the level of super-grade psionic energy......"
"But, regardless of the speed at which this fire destroys you, it is beyond the speed of your over-the-top regeneration, you can only unleash it for a short time......," I pointed out, "can you control this fire?" Or is it just a release, only to be left there to be fire? ”
"Uh......" Hu Ma lowered his head like a student in training.
"Uncontrollable firepower is not firepower, it's just a threat that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe." After that, I looked at the Turin doctor again, "If I let the violent get this curse, how long will it take for the poison to occur?" ”
"Two to three minutes." Doctor Turin replied, "In addition, although the death qi wrapped around the dagger could have had a certain degree of penetration of psionic armor, in order to prevent Violent from detecting the curse in this dagger, I pressed all the dead qi into the dagger. You'll have to find your own way to break through the violent psionic armor. Is that okay? ”
"Yes. I'll figure it out myself. I looked at the dagger and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Actually, I just need to let the violent poison happen, I don't have to let him be poisoned in the nightmare of the town, right?" ”
"Why?" The Turin doctor asked.
"For example...... "if you are poisoned by the poison in a violent way, but before the poison strikes, it is transferred to other dreams...... For example, if you suddenly sneak into a dream like you, will the curse follow? ”
The Turin doctor also glanced at the flax, then nodded at me, "You're right. ”
She continued, "As long as he's still in a dream, and not back in the real world, the poison will be with him. ”
"Why are you all looking at me?" Hu Ma said alarmedly.
Just as I was about to take the Turin doctor to a more secluded place to talk about it, a change of heart struck.
A black tornado slammed through the underground sewer outlet in the center of the vault.
In the next second, the tornado dissipated in place, revealing the ferocity suspended in the air.
He glanced around, and immediately locked onto the Turin doctor, who was standing at a distance from him. Immediately after, a powerful black wind erupted from his back, propelling himself to a fairly fast speed, and he rushed towards the Turin doctor.
Since he killed himself, then I'm not welcome. I immediately activated the "Break into Whole" mode, inserted him as he was about to get in front of the doctor in Turin, and slashed at him with a short knife.
Although I am no longer a pure Faceling, and I am no longer able to maintain the "Turning Pieces into Wholes" mode unconditionally, the experience of dreams within dreams is still a great asset to me.
First of all, now that I have entered the mode of "turning parts into wholes", there is no longer such a thing as "probability of failure", as long as I want to enter, I can enter; Secondly, in the past, even if I was lucky enough to enter the "turn parts into whole" mode, I could only maintain it for a mere five seconds at most, but now I can maintain it for at least nine seconds; In the end, although it doesn't help much in the current battle, I will not have any more so-called obstacles on the way to train the "Zero to Whole" mode in the future, at least for a long time, as long as I am given enough time, I will be able to reach the level of my dream in the near future.
In my calculations, if the violence is really defenseless, then my sword will definitely be able to hit.
Sadly, however, he was a cautious man, and he retreated to the rear almost as soon as I made a move. Then he looked at me and smiled, "What a pity, Faceling. If you don't do it, I won't really recognize your unmasked face. ”
He said as he looked at the panicked survivors around him, "If you blend in with the survivors and suddenly give me a knife, then I really can't react." ”
"You don't think that just saying that will hit my mentality, do you?" At the same time as I asked rhetorically, I exited the "Break into Whole" mode to regain my energy, and at the same time told the Turin doctor to hurry away from here, "Blend in with the survivors?" Even I can tell the difference between a dream dweller and a real person, so I don't think I'm smart enough to think you can't. ”
The Turin doctor gave him a deep look and then turned to leave.
Violent just smiled coldly, and then looked back at the hole in the ground he had made when he came out, "It's almost time to come out." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately saw that in the dark hole, the darkness stretched out like tentacles.
No, it wasn't the darkness that stretched out, but the three "shadows" crawling out of the hole against the ground.
These three shadows are not attached to other matter, they simply exist on their own, and they swim extremely fast on the ground. As soon as he appeared, he aimed at me and shot at me like an arrow. It's the "Wandering Darkness" I've seen in the underground waterways before, and it's a "wandering darkness" that kills you when you touch it!
The violence actually attracted the undead!
