Miranda's words made Collane a little unsure of how to answer.

Because some things are confidential, he can't say them freely.

And he didn't expect that Miranda's nose would be so sensitive that he would be able to smell the scent of the previous "resident" after the cell was completely "reset".

After thinking about it, Collane said: "You must know that when performing special tasks, there are often extremely high risks, even if you are as professional as you, you cannot absolutely avoid being infected or abstract sources, homogenizing into something else.

So when we find something out of our control, whether it's an outsourced sequence or someone inside the church, we see it as a potential threat.

For such an existence, isolating them here to observe is undoubtedly the best choice, avoiding a lot of trouble and danger.

As for the identity and fate of the previous householder, I can't tell you. ”

Regarding such a statement, Nie Yuan said that he could really understand.

After all, as long as the infective breath is absorbed, then even professionals can become a potential source of infestation.

If they were to be indulged, the situation might be dire, so it would be necessary to keep them here for observation in advance.

An ordinary sanatorium would not be able to imprison an extraordinary person like Nie Yuan and them.

If he was an ordinary person like the city lord of Auston, of course, it would be a different matter, even if he degenerated into an infective source, he could be quickly strangled.

But the transcendent is not so easy to deal with.

It's just that Nie Yuan thought of what Buck once said, if people like them were identified and caught by the church, then the best outcome would only be to be drained of blood and soul in the underground of the Holy City, and then wait for torture and death.

And since most of the United Churches have such similar places underground, the Holy City where the Fourteen Central Churches are located may also be the same.

In the depths of that pilgrimage site in the hearts of countless people, how many unimaginable beings are imprisoned.

The five companions who were not reunited might be able to find their traces there?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Nie Yuan looking around the cell, Collain frowned and asked.

"It's fine."

Nie Yuan replied: "It's just a visit to the decoration, by the way, after you are imprisoned here, can you have a stable supply of food and hot water?" ”

It's a very cold joke.

And only Miranda, Gustav and Nancy could understand it.

You all began to imagine that you were caught by the minions of the false gods, and then you lived in prison?

The dull big Mr. Gustav couldn't help but complain: "How can you be so spineless, Nie Yuan." ”

Miranda also quipped: "It seems that the supplies are not as abundant as our Buck Bookstore, and you don't want to live here for long." ”

Listening to the specious words of several people, Collain thought that they were questioning the United Church's behavior in imprisoning the editors.

He was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by a sudden roar.

"Roar!!"

I saw that the monster that Ben Sen had turned into pounced again, and one claw poked out of the hollow prison door, hanging on the tip of Nie Yuan's nose, almost scratching his face.

And the cold, evil aura that belonged to the source of the infection also swept in like a tidal wave, causing the temperature of the entire cell to plummet, as if in an ice cave, accompanied by the smell of the death of sea creatures and erosion.

It turned out to be the gray-brown breath that had just been spewed out, and it had already dissipated between the conversations of everyone.

Ben Sen lost his suppression and immediately picked up his beastly nature, and Nie Yuan once again became its first target.

But because of Nie Yuan's distance control, it was so good that no matter how Ben Sen scratched it, he couldn't really touch his body.

Seeing this, Collain asked, "Did you calculate the distance as soon as you entered the door?" Or is it a coincidence? ”

Nie Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "Is this something to be surprised about?" I'm a fourth-level personnel anyway. ”

Collain looked at the sharp claws that almost touched the pores on the tip of Nie Yuan's nose, and said, "At least the fourth-level personnel I know can't be so meticulous and perfect, I heard that your ability is particularly good at melee combat, and now I have seen it." ”

Nie Yuan didn't say much, but confronted Bensen's strong and crazy hostility, and wiped out the tide of infected breath, and said, "It seems that it is indeed as you said, you can't ask anything from it, but you must have also obtained some news from it before, right?" ”

Collane nodded: "A few days ago, Benson was barely able to have a normal conversation, but even he himself remained ignorant of the Petrel, so it was difficult for us to get too many valuable clues."

He said that he did not know the day when he would encounter a similar dream every time he fell asleep, that is, there was always a voice in the dream, calling him back to his arms, and when he woke up, he would instinctively have some kind of impulse towards the ocean.

That impulse made him like a lost and dehydrated traveler in the desert, desperately wanting to be close to the sea and respond to the sounds of his dreams.

But he also knew that once he returned to the sea, he would never really be a man, and in addition to the voice that called him back to the sea, there were sometimes the voices of other companions who he knew had been buried in the sea.

Like a demon who requires, jealousy cursed him, he left his rightful place, betrayed the sea, and took refuge on the land. ”

So how did he resist that impulse? Normally, it is difficult for people who are infected by abstract sources to stay awake by willpower alone, right? Nie Yuan asked.

Collain shook his head and said, "In the beginning, he still wanted to ignore that impulse and continue to exist on land as a human being.

But in the later stages, he couldn't restrain himself at all, and by the time he showed his infective properties, he was already dreaming of seawater, begging us to let him go.

When rejected, they lose their minds completely, turn into mad monsters, and struggle frantically until they fall asleep.

When we wake up, we will repeat the same process, and at that time, although we found the Petrel and deliberately avoided the church, we also wanted to find the existence of the Petrel through him.

But because he has already shown the characteristics of the source of infection, and the breath has reached the threshold that can infect ordinary people, we can't release it anymore, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause even greater consequences. ”

These words made Nie Yuan have a lot of associations and doubts.

Because of Benson's identity, he and Frank shared Walter's food together, so as to survive hunger and come to the shore of existence.

But Zaxido said that the old crew members could no longer go ashore easily, and the performance of the skeleton monsters was probably true.

Then Benson, Frank, Walter, are not old sailors?

Obviously, this is not the case, when the Petrel sank, the existence of staying on the ship should be classified as "old crew".

After all, in Zaxido's mouth, some of the people who were fooled into boarding the ship by the skeleton monsters have also become monsters like them, let alone Benson.

When Zaxido was replaced by himself, he had not yet been fully assimilated by the Petrel, and had the opportunity to go ashore and be reversed back to human, which is easy to say.

But as old crew members in the absolute sense, why do Benson, Walter and others have such privileges?

Could it be that by the time they left the ocean, the Petrel had not yet completed some sort of transformation from a shipwreck to an abstract source?

What makes them a special being?

But the price of becoming this special existence is that if you don't return to the Petrel and become an existence like a skeleton monster, you will become another monster with the characteristics of an infected source, and completely lose your mind?
