Chapter 95: The Story of the Ancient City (6)
"It was as if my soul had been detached from my body—a sensation I knew all too well, and I had tried to do so countless times in past wars—floating in mid-air, looking down on my city. ”
Kerton finally remembered the part that Faust was interested in, which lifted the spirits of Faust, who was already a little impatient.
"Mr. Cotton, is it ......?" Faust had actually guessed.
"You're right, those huge reptiles are coming from the ground, they're ...... They were much bigger and stronger than I am now. ”
"I didn't have time to count how many Ketonia—but there must have been more than ten—the smallest of them was as thick as the grandest tower of Mobedan. More importantly, I felt the power that made people restless......"
"I seem to have been affected by some supernatural force - or maybe I'm just frightened, and I don't have the will to resist at all, and I can't think of anything but to run away. My wish was answered, and almost instantly, my soul was back in my body. ”
"I was about to call out to my brothers and warn them to watch out for those damn bugs, but ...... But those sights did not happen. ”
Ktorn's tone was full of remorse, "If only I insisted...... Even for a moment, I was convinced that I had seen it. ”
"I thought I was just hallucinating in some kind of — you know, all of us weren't in good spirits, and no one else noticed my anomaly. "If they had noticed my anomaly, the tragedy might not have happened." ”
Faust disagreed, and in fact, even if Kerton's anomaly were discovered, his teammates would ask him, and he would tell the truth about what he had seen and heard, things would probably not have changed.
They don't react much to it, and the safest of them is to leave.
However, you can imagine with your toenails that they would never make such a choice.
No normal person would choose to give up this glorious city.
Sure enough, Ktorn's next words confirmed Faust's idea.
"In the absence of General Baba Yaga, I was still haunted by the terrible vision I had just hauled, and the inauguration of the city had to be hastily concluded. ”
"None of us really cared about the celebrations, though—we didn't even think the city would be inhabited. ”
"It's gone from the counterattack base we originally conceived of to be a mere work of art – a city that wasn't built to be inhabited. ”
"We await with joy the return of General Baba Yaga...... In hindsight, it's a bit of an irony – we don't even know when she disappeared or what she did. ”
"The memories that followed were blurry, and we seemed to have done something, and it seemed that nothing was wrong, just waiting for General Baba Yaga's return. ”
"I don't know how long it has been—I seem to have lost the concept of time and space, and my daily memories are only vague and bizarre subjective feelings—that General Baba Yaga has finally returned. ”
"At that moment, the world suddenly became clear, everything seemed to start running again, and my world came alive again. ”
Although Ketonn strangely hated Baba Yaga, he was nostalgic for the fond memories of the past: "I think about it, if only I hadn't figured it out, if I had been deceived by her and used by her...... How nice that would be......"
Faust frowned, realizing that things were not simple—the Driller Korn's mental state was not normal, which he had already guessed.
But he didn't expect that the other party would be so sick.
He thought that all the abnormal mood swings and illogical thoughts of the other party before were side effects of some imperfect reincarnation ritual, but now it seems that these are actually his truest thoughts?
Faust did not perceive a trace of the disorder peculiar to ritual failure in the spirit of the other party, on the contrary, his spiritual power was strong and stable, far surpassing that of Faust himself.
Faust shook his head secretly, there is always a way to solve the after-effects of the ritual, but human stupidity is incurable.
Becoming a Psychic Warlock also requires qualifications - causing psionic phenomena is only the most basic one.
"I understand your feelings, Mr. Kirton, but we are pressed for time, and you must finish your story as soon as possible. Faust reminded as he looked into his memory.
He didn't intend to warn this strong man who didn't know friend or foe - the other party had gone astray and could never reach the end of the spiritual path, but his strength was still far above Faust. Therefore, Faust will not make any moves that could lead to the enemy until he has identified friend or foe.
"Huh?" Kerthon seemed a little surprised when his memories were interrupted, but he didn't get angry, just smiled bitterly, "I'm old...... In recent years, things have always been muddy, and I can't remember it clearly, but the previous things have become more and more real. ”
Alzheimer's disease, or Alzheimer's disease, Faust made a diagnosis - of course, a powerful Driller Psychiocrat who has lived for 10,000 years will not get Alzheimer's, but his symptoms can be very similar.
He is losing "me". His mind car is off track, and although ** is still strong, his soul is rotten.
Because of the loss of "me", the psychic energy, although still stable, has begun to erode Ktorn.
Psychic manicers have long recognized that "I" is just an illusion, but it's an illusion that you have to hold onto.
If you see through this last illusion, then it will be time for you to leave this world once and for all—your soul will begin to disintegrate, slowly and imperceptibly, everything about "me" will gradually disappear, and finally, your mind will be wiped out, and with it all your psychic energy.
After all, without the heart, there is naturally no power of the heart.
Ktorn's demise was already doomed, and Faust did not know whether he was aware of it, and therefore did not intend to pick it out.
"Let's get back to business...... "Kethorn told his story casually, "and she's back." ”
As soon as Baba Yaga returned to camp, Kethorn and the others eagerly offered her the entire city—and then waited quietly for her to choose one of these great artists as her husband.
But Baba Yajia didn't choose anyone, she just smiled, smiling brightly.
She said, "You are so good, and I am so glad to have your loyal and reliable subordinates. ”
It was as if everyone had eaten honey – they had only heard of loyalty and reliability.
The others heard the other part, he heard "you", he heard "subordinates".
Something seemed to wriggle in the shadows behind Baba Yaga, and the dark shadow smiled, everything he saw foreshadowed that he was closer to success than ever.
