Chapter 397: Counterattack

"Love......

Fang Xian wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly saw the corners of Love's mouth twitch, as if there were two consciousnesses in his body, one wanted to laugh and the other didn't want to laugh, and it turned into a strange expression, and his heart suddenly shuddered.

'This town has long been shrouded in evil forces, and we have been affected since we entered this area...... So Love, is he really normal? ’

"Although the investigator's will and resistance are stronger than ordinary people, in the face of true evil, human beings are still as small as ants......

Thinking of this, he silently recited the 'Worm Hymn' in his heart.

The activated spiritual power gathered in his eyes, allowing him to see a completely different world.

The air was full of colorful spores, and in Love's body, in his eyes, in his nose, in his ears...... One ...... after another popped up Mycelium?

They seemed to tug at Love's muscles and manipulate his body, causing him to utter involuntary words.

In this perspective, Love struggles to yell at him.

Fang Xian closed his eyes, and everything was abnormal.

"What's wrong with you? Mentally exhausted? Or was it shocked? ”

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 in the slightest.

'Fungi are a kind of life. ’

'Love is controlled by countless lives, not confused by evil forces, this is physical, not spiritual, so it can't be detected, and it's useless to take medicine......

The human body is inherently very fragile, and you think that your brain and will dominate everything, but in fact, hormones, dopamine, adrenaline and other hormones ...... It's the emotion that dominates.

Spores and fungi control the body and endocrine, forming a body 'cage' that imprisons the brain!

At this time, Love is no longer him.

Before he knew it, he had been changed a little, and if he stayed for a long time, this change would become even more profound!

Human beings, in the face of true evil, are still too small!

"I'm fine."

Fang Xian showed a bright smile: "Then let's go out, I want to go back to the inn to rest." ”

"Well, I've made an appointment with Bullock to play cards and taste new mushroom wine and mushroom biscuits......" Love swallowed, his eyes easing with longing.

"Okay."

Fang Xian's heart was cold, and he secretly assessed: "At present, Love still thinks that he is an investigator and abides by the rules of an investigator, but some thoughts and subconscious have been tampered with, and he still thinks that it is his subjective will...... If it takes a little longer, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

He didn't show anything out of the ordinary, went out with Love, joined up with his long-complaining guide, and returned to the town of Lantis.

Inside the hotel.

Love went directly to Brock to drink, while Fang Xian sat quietly in his room, thinking about something: "If I want to leave immediately, what will Love choose?" He seemed to be starting to resist getting out of here, but the investigator's instincts were struggling again...... I have a feeling that he is going to struggle and fail eventually. ”

"That's not right...... We sabotaged this 'ritual' and took away important items, and if there really is an anomalous force in the town, we will definitely fight back tonight! ”

Thinking of this, Fang Xian opened the curtains.

In the quiet streets, the street lights are extinguished.

The night seemed to get darker.

……

Fang Xian's body sank, and he seemed to be falling rapidly.

Syllable!

His boots landed steadily, and he was already in a white mushroom forest.

"Am I not in an inn? How is it here? ”

"Wait, I seem to have forgotten something?"

Fang Xian sensed that a force was trying to control him, but he sneered, and the person of Fang Shi's sixth level suppressed everything, and immediately regained his mobility, and his thinking became clear.

"I'm here, in a dream!"

"Worms, with the power to burrow into dreams?"

He thought of the words 'dream' in 'Hymn to the Worm', and immediately understood: "Fight back, in a dream?" Anomalies are also mostly in dreams? No wonder there is nothing unusual in the real world......"

The surroundings are very similar to those around the cave where the daytime ritual takes place.

As soon as Fang Xian raised his legs, he wanted to go to the cave, but found that he stepped out and arrived in a dense forest, and he was lost!

Not only that, but he saw that on the backs of his hands, one wart after another had grown, which seemed to be parasitic with fungi and spores of some kind of plant.

'The power of ritual transforms the realm of reality, not only making the soil fertile and fertile, but also spreading fungi and spores? Absorb the air here, will it be polluted? ’

Fang Xian nodded, ignoring this.

His symptoms were much milder than Love's, and he could hold on to his own volition.

But at this time, don't dare to act without permission, otherwise you will get lost in the depths of your dreams, and it's not for fun.

Because this is a dream, there is no direction at all!

What you look like is going forward may actually be going backwards, what looks like a left turn may actually be a right turn.

Maybe just one small step and it will be possible to cross a continent!

This is the dream!

"Are you going to pick mushrooms too?"

Just then, 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 here to find a cave, there is a cave with large brightly colored mushrooms at the entrance of the cave, but I'm lost...... Fang Xian said calmly: "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Little Jack, I'm here to pick mushrooms, I seem to have seen ...... cave"

Little Jack thought for a moment and beckoned, "You come with me!" ”

He ran out of the forest, Fang Xian thought about it, followed him, this time he didn't lose his way, and soon saw the cave.

"I ...... I seem to come here a lot and love to eat mushrooms! ”

Little Jack's throat rolled, his expression became confused, and he stepped forward to pick a mushroom and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, he stood up with a blank face, from his face, from his body, from his clothes...... Mushrooms grew one after another.

"Yes, you have been completely influenced by this place, with a occult 'connection', which is why you brought me here......"

Fang Xian smiled and looked at the cave: "Come out!" ”

One figure after another came out of the cave, most of them townspeople, but all of them were expressionless, covered in plaque and mushrooms.

At the head were nine strangers wearing black robes, black hair and black eyes.

"You're an investigator!"

A foreigner spoke, his eyes no longer empty, full of resentment.

"You shouldn't have come."

Another stranger sighed and had Love out.

At this time, he was wrapped in mycelium, like a cocoon, with only his head exposed.

"You are the pagans who once tried in vain to spread the Secret Gu Sutra? After the plan failed, you fled here and sacrificed your life to the Hidden Being, embarking on a lengthy ritual to hide yourselves and gather strength...... Your bodies are dead, but your spirits live on in this dream......"

Fang Xian nodded, already understanding everything.

"We have gathered enough strength over a long period of time that the Goddess of Fertility has given us His Offspring, and this time, we will not fail again!"

Nine infidels spoke at the same time.
