The dust gathers into ashes, and the ashes ignite sparks, emitting the light and heat of embers, which eventually coalesce into a human form. The limbs, skin, hair, and facial features are outlined one after another, and he becomes a teenager. The third-level demon pattern envoy boy regained his true appearance right in front of my eyes, as if he had been awakened before he had slept enough, with a slight tiredness on his face, but his complexion was not bad, not like he had been tortured too much. From the place where the dust appeared, you can imagine what happened to him, and he kept himself in that state in order to avoid the worse. Or rather, there is something mysterious about this dungeon that forces him to maintain the form of dust scattered around the corners.

This dungeon is specially made, and the sturdiness of the cage itself is unusual, and if I didn't have the strength to walk consciously, I would probably be helpless against this cage. My guess is that the "interlocutor" gave this cage unusual powers, after all, the "interlocutor" had spoken to a "it" before, even if his abilities were not displayed in this aspect, and the anomaly of "it" would have given him such powers. Now, the power of the "talker" is no longer limited to conversation, and I think that when I talked to him before, the hallucinatory way and the cage in front of me are very likely to extend from "talking" and ensure the ability to "talk".

Whether it's talking in an hallucinatory way, or in a cage where someone else is confined and then talking, it's a way of talking. These imprisoned people are mentally crushed, and it is hard to imagine any other way to do this if it were not for the ± ↖ power of consciousness walking. For ordinary people, the torture in common sense is very effective, however, among the prisoners here, there are not only ordinary people, but also mysterious experts. Although these people were all insane and unable to show their own peculiarities and determine which of them were occult experts, the existence of the third-level Demon Emissary Boy proved that there could not be just ordinary people among them.

Not to mention. To be able to enter and exit this nightmare, even if it is just to be stored in this nightmare, there will probably not be a normal person in the true sense.

It is not easy to torture these people. However, it is theoretically possible to use the power of consciousness walking to launch a direct attack on their spirits.

In my memory, though, before that. I really haven't seen a consciousness walker do such a thing. It is precisely because the consciousness walker often walks in consciousness, is in direct contact with the spirit of others, and is able to penetrate into the world of consciousness, that it is more clear that the malignancy in consciousness will increase with the increase of the negative state of consciousness itself. Whether it's fear, pain, cowardice, and resentment, all the negativity. Even the negative state of the body will multiply the viciousness in the state of consciousness. until it exceeds the capacity of the conscious walker.

The increase in malignancy may be mild, persistent, but it is also possible to die explosively, and the death of consciousness walkers is mostly due to explosive malignancy. And in order to avoid a sudden outburst of malignancy as much as possible, in a way that hits the spirit. The direct torture of others has always been a forbidden part of the self-code of conduct of the conscious walker.

And if these tortured people in front of them really hit their spirits, then the consciousness walker himself who did such a thing must be in the process. Faced with unusually vicious pressure. The ability of consciousness walkers who can resist this vicious pressure is also quite terrifying. It's not surprising that this cage can be created.

The difficulty is never what you have to do, but whether you have the ability to do it. The "interlocutor" may not have been so strong before, but after talking to "it", I have to try to assume that he has become strong enough, and all judgments are based on the fact that he is very strong.

"Mr. Takakawa......" The third-level demonic messenger boy finished reconstructing his body and raised his gaze to look at me.

"It seems that your companion is no longer with you." I said. They are members of the NOG team, and since they have done something that even their own people are ambushing, it also means that the two sides have completely parted ways. However, for me, since the "interlocutor" has been in contact with "it", it is not too difficult to imagine such a judgment.

"I don't understand what's going on, they're not like that." There was a slight hint of pain in the eyes of the third-level demonic messenger boy, which made me feel that he seemed to care about the people who had done such a thing. He had a good relationship with them, but because of this, he stepped into the trap and couldn't detect it at the first time, and finally fell into such a field.

I think that even if he had been told that the "interlocutor" had a conversation with "it", and that was why such a change occurred, it would have been difficult for him to understand what that "it" was. Once observed and talked to, the observer and the interlocutor themselves will be mutated, which is also extremely rare in the apocalyptic illusion. What's more, as a consciousness walker in the team, the "interlocutor" must have been recognized for a long time, and the "monster" that can distort the consciousness walker is difficult to imagine for others who have not seen it with their own eyes.

In this world, of course, there are many monsters, but having such a cognition does not mean that they can have a deep and direct understanding and experience of the horror of monsters before they come into contact with them.

"The deepest night has the power to change a person's heart." I confused the intelligence and, in a more understandable way, said to him, "You know what? In this nightmare, there is a tower, and all the mysterious experts who reach the top of the tower inevitably go crazy. Whether it is the deepest night or the tower, there are many examples of this nightmare full of viciousness. Your people who are active here will inevitably be corrupted by this viciousness. ”

"I did know something, but I never thought it would be so bad." The face of the third-level demonic messenger boy was gloomy and gloomy, "The connector and Anna have been taken away by them, and they have the strength they need for their next move. But Turner and I weren't what they needed. ”

"Turner has been killed." I didn't elaborate on the torture that Turner was subjected to, and the situation in the room outside must have hit the third-level Demon Emringele Boy even harder.

"Sure enough." The third-level Demon Pattern Emissary Boy's tone was complicated and sad, "If I can't turn into ashes, the end won't be much better. ”

"However, even if you turn to ashes, you will not be able to escape this dungeon." I say.

"This is no ordinary cage." The third-level demonic messenger boy looked at me with a somewhat strange gaze. "On the contrary, Mr. Takakawa, it is I am surprised that you were able to break this cage. Mr. Takakawa, are you also a consciousness walker? Can the fourth-level magic pattern already involve the level of consciousness? ”

"Fourth-level Demonic Patterns probably won't allow every Demonic Pattern Envoy to gain the power to walk in consciousness, you should know. The abilities of the Demon Emeralist have their own characteristics. Theoretically, different people will get different abilities, which is determined by the characteristics and individuality of the Messenger himself relative to others. Conscious walking is also a type of ability, but it is not available to everyone. Pressing my still twitching left eye, I said, "My conscious walk has only been obtained by other means, and it is only half-baked. ”

"Can a half-hung consciousness walk destroy this cage?" The third-level Demon Pattern Emissary boy shook his head and said, not believing it at all. I don't have to prove anything, though.

Captives after the cage is broken. Only a few responded, but many more remained huddled in place, as if in their hearts there was an unbreakable cage that imprisoned their hope of survival. For the time being, I don't see a real desire to get out of here, even because of the uproar that has been going on. People who don't stand up unconsciously don't make me feel it. There is the joy of survival and liberation in them.

These people have become very numb from the over-torture. Even if you urge them to leave, it must be very difficult, but breaking the cage will not allow them to be truly saved. The deepest night of this nightmare has begun, and viciousness breeds, and strange births are everywhere, even if they are not attacked by them. Just the state of these people in front of them, maybe when, they will be distorted by the vicious erosion of the deepest night.

"I felt that there had to be a place to put them." I said to the third-level demonic messenger boy, "Not all of them are sick, are they? ”

"The interlocutor betrayed the team, it seems. You've already talked to him. The third-level demonic emissary boy said, looking at me with a hint of caution, "You have to be careful, the conversation of the interlocutor is very strange. ”

"He can't control me exactly as he thinks." I said, "Don't worry about that, if I'm against you, it's because I have to, not like a madman." Compared to this kind of thing, let's think about the other people here. ”

"Mr. Takakawa, do you want to take these people on the road with you?" The third-level Demon Emissary boy seemed to sense something, and advised me, "This is an act that does not outweigh the cost, there are too many weirdness out there, it may be better to keep them." ”

"I'm going to take them back to the shelter." I've made my decision.

"I don't know how far it is from the shelter, and I don't know which direction it is. Do you insist on taking them away because you think you can save them all? And......" the third-level demonic emissary boy looked around at these people, "the interlocutor has tortured them too much, I don't think they still have the power to protect themselves." We don't have the strength to protect them all the way. Killing them here is the best relief for them. ”

"No, I'll take them away. Protect them as they arrive at the shelter. I still insisted, "If they are corrupted by the viciousness of the deepest night, there is nothing they can do, but I can assure them that the weirdness will not hurt them." ”

The third-level Demon Pattern Emissary Young Man frowned and said, "It's not that I don't trust your abilities, Mr. Takakawa, but if something really goes wrong, I hope you may try your best to lighten the burden." ”

"They may be really a burden to me in the past, but for me now, it's just something that I can do." I replied calmly.

The third-level demon pattern messenger boy looked at me seriously with an unexpected look. Finally, he nodded slowly.

"I listened to their conversation, and their next target was Doomsday Shinrikyo, and if they survived and completed their plans, then the end would inevitably be near the sanctuary. They were going to use the method of sacrifice to twist something. The third-level demonic emissary boy said this, a trace of horror appeared on his face, "Anna and Turner made new guidance when they were still alive, but it is obvious that although they saved me, the next time they encounter it, it must be a worse situation." ”

"The vicious trend of deviation." I nodded.

"I wouldn't want to be involved at all if I could. In this nightmare, there were only so many people in NOG, and now they are all finished. The third-level demonic messenger boy sighed and walked out of the door first.

I don't know exactly where the Doomsday Shinrikyo people are in this nightmare, but since the "interlocutors" have acted, they must have seen some opportunity. However, based on the information of the third-level demonic emissary boys, I prefer to believe that their end point will be on the hill altar near the shelter. Which altar, from the very beginning, gives a strange and ominous feeling.

I watched the third-level demonic emissary boy walk out the door, and although he didn't say it explicitly, I felt that he must want to find the connector and Anna.

Then I looked at the other prisoners and said, "Maybe you don't know me and don't believe me, but I still hope you can leave with me." ”

A few people reacted to the remark, but many more remained unmoved. Words alone can no longer communicate with them, and their hearts have been closed. But it doesn't matter, I also have the power to walk consciously, and let me share the hope they have lost, the despair they face, the pain they have experienced, and the fear that has eaten away at their hearts. I don't know how the "interlocutors" and others tortured them, and I can't reverse the time and stop them in advance, but I can get into their painful memories and let myself, who did not lend a helping hand at that time, become a companion in their memories, to encourage them, to share their pain, and let them share the beauty I have experienced, the strength I have seen, and the hope I have persevered, even if I can't really change anything, I will definitely be able to make them back up.

With this prayer in mind, I forced them to stare at me, and I pushed open the door to the hearts of all from their gaze. (To be continued......)
