Chapter 817: Spirit and Man

By the time Kane and the others walked out of the city, the sun had completely set over the mountain, but the afterglow of the sun still didn't plunge the sky into darkness.

"Don't you have a permanent place to live?"

Kane suddenly turned his head and asked Umberto next to him.

Umberto shook his head: "I'm always on the road. ”

"yes, where are you going now?"

He pointed in one direction and said, "My gut tells me that I should go in this direction." ”

"Is it that amazing?"

……

When the sky was about to completely darken, Umberto found a small hill and prepared to rest here tonight.

The surroundings were already completely dense, and although the whole sky was not completely dark, it was already pitch black.

"It's already dark, and it's not convenient and dangerous to travel at night, so let's spend the night here tonight, right?"

Umberto asked Kane for their opinion.

It didn't matter if it was just him, but he had to take into account the transcendent beings behind him now.

"It doesn't matter, it's okay to rest here for the night."

Hearing Kane's agreement, Umberto prepared to go around and collect some dry wood.

Then, he saw Kane wave his hand in front of him.

A small villa appeared in front of him, in the deep mountains and dense forests.

It's very abrupt, but it's also very fantastical.

"This ......"

He froze a little, and turned his head to stare at Kane.

His instincts, his spirit, everything he was telling him that it was not false.

Claire and the others had already entered the cottage, while Kane stood in the doorway, waving at Ong's back.

"What are you doing there? Don't worry, even though we've only known each other, I've made a room specifically for you. ”

Umberto opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask, and walked in silently.

As long as you think of Kane's strength like a god, it seems very normal to suddenly create a small villa.

He comforted himself in this way.

This is supposed to be a small 3-storey villa, and when you walk through the door, you will find a spacious living room that occupies almost all the area of the 1st floor.

There is a staircase leading to the 2nd floor and an unknown cubicle in the living room.

An open plan kitchen connects to the dining and living room.

The whole living room is furnished and feels very warm.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Umberto always feels that all the furniture in this villa is a bit big.

Then he turned his head and saw Claire, who seemed to understand something.

came to the sofa in the living room, Kane threw himself directly on it, and the whole person sank into the soft sofa.

There was a comfortable sound in his mouth.

Kane suddenly sensed something and opened his eyes, but could see that his eyes were slightly blank.

At this time, his vision had already drifted into the distance.

And in the abode of the Prophet.

The mechanical orb that Kane had dropped when he left flew in mid-air, recording the scene in front of him.

The circle on the surface concealed his figure.

At this moment, in the hall on the first floor, the prophet suddenly grabbed his neck as if he was suffocating.

The other hand slapped the table in front of him, but the whole person began to slide off the stool uncontrollably.

"Quick, the Prophet is stuck, save him!"

"You, go outside and get a doctor!"

"You ......"

At this time, there was still a lot of food on the table, and looking at the napkin around the Prophet's neck, it was clear that he seemed to be stuck in some food.

The servants around were all in a hurry.

They were a little overwhelmed, but they still started to use some of the first aid methods they could search for in their memory, and administered first aid to the prophet in front of them.

Even a middle-aged man who seemed to be a housekeeper was flustered and at a loss at this time.

And their methods were ineffective, no matter how much they slapped and tried to induce vomiting, nothing came out of the prophet's mouth.

His face was getting more and more ugly, and he was already starting to turn blue and purple.

Then the prophet was in front of the people, suffocated, and there was no life.

Of course, this is only in the eyes of ordinary people.

In the eyes of the machine, through the vision tainted with magical power, it was possible to see that the cloud bracelet that had been wrapped around the Prophet's hand suddenly poured into his throat and blocked his trachea while the Prophet was eating.

Just suffocated him here alive.

With his death, a silvery liquid began to bubble out of his eye sockets.

It was the one that popped into his eyes before.

As the silvery liquid emerged, it slowed down until it flowed to the floor like death, turning to ashes.

And the mechanical sphere in mid-air faithfully recorded this scene.

Kane, who was far away in a small cottage in the wilderness, also had a full view of this scene.

At this time, Kane's eyes regained their brightness.

"You killed the prophet? Why? ”

Kane didn't understand, so he asked directly.

Hearing Kane's sudden words, Umberto raised his head to look at him.

I was a little shocked to be able to see his expression.

Although I don't know how Kane did it or how he knows, even he doesn't know if he has succeeded.

But thinking of Kane's strength, he still didn't ask much.

"Did it work?"

He muttered to himself, then nodded.

"Yes, I wanted to kill him."

"Can you help us get some of the things you know, including the situation with this prophet and why you want to kill him?"

It's a great place to talk right now.

Umberto nodded to Kane's question.

For the few people in front of him, he was not prepared to hide anything.

Because his instincts were telling him that it wasn't of any use.

"When he is not willing to be separated from the spirit of mercury, he will surely die."

"The spirit of mercury is the silver liquid that you saw coming out of his eyes like a living thing."

"Those silver mercury spirits are what make him a prophet in the future."

After listening to Umberto's explanation, Kane nodded.

At this time, Lilulu suddenly asked, "Are those silver things also spirits?" ”

"Yes, they are also a kind of spirit."

At this point, Umberto seemed to be caught in a memory, and began to tell the story.

"I met him about 12 years ago, and he wasn't as ...... as he is now. Noble, he was just an ordinary businessman at that time. ”

"At that time, he was very restrained, able to control his desires, and even with the ability to predict, he only acquired limited wealth to make his life slightly better."

At this, he suddenly sighed.

"When I met him, I was going to separate him from the spirit of mercury, but seeing that he was principled and able to restrain greed, I just warned him not to be too unpredictable."

"In this way, he will be able to maintain a certain balance with the spirit of mercury and live a normal life."

At this time, Claire said beside him: "In other words, if he is greedy, too much use of foreknowledge will merge with the spirit of mercury. And the reason why you killed him is because it might affect the surroundings when you become one? ”

Hearing Claire's words, Umberto nodded.

"Yes, if he continues like this, when he is completely one with the spirit of mercury, he will foresee calamity at that moment. And calamity will come, and it will be done by the spirit of mercury himself. ”

Kane understood this passage.

In other words, this kind of thing must have been recorded, otherwise Umberto would not have known so clearly as he does now.

The foreknowledge will eventually lead to disaster, which will come and be caused by one's own intervention.

This is a foresight, this is completely self-directed and self-acting.

"That silver ball of water can do something like this?" Lombe asked, a little puzzled.

They had seen the so-called mercury spirits before, and the senses were not very strong in their senses, and they were not as dangerous as Montberto had claimed.

Umberto nodded: "Spirits do not have a consciousness of their own, they only act according to their instincts. ”

"After foreseeing the calamity, the spirit of mercury will instinctively start to act, and his actions will cause the surrounding spirits to move with him, thus causing the calamity to come."

In this way, it is roughly understood why the spirit of mercury can do so much damage with a body that is not very strong.

Although he is not strong himself, he can influence other spirits around him to move with him to wreak havoc.

And now the closer you are to the human settlement, the more spirits there are.

And if you look at Umberto, you can see that these so-called foretold disasters must be related to the gathering place.

When the time comes, these spirits will act together, and maybe they will directly destroy the small city before.

Hearing this, Kane couldn't help but take a great interest in these so-called spirits.

"Is there a lot of Lingdo like this? It's the kind of spirit that can cause more damage. ”

Hearing Kane's question, Umberto thought for a moment and nodded.

This aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone focused on him, waiting for him to speak.

Seeing this, Umberto could not refrain from continuing.

"It has been recorded that spirits are of all kinds, and that they coexist with and are separated from each other, but there is no doubt that spirits are very strong."

With that, Umberto reached out and touched his forehead as if he were thinking.

"For example, there is a spirit called a dream bird, and they are in groups, sometimes in the hundreds of thousands."

"It's a human-head-sized, black-and-white bird that lives in human dreams, but once a person's dreams are overfrequented by the number of dream birds."

At this point, Umberto paused and sold off.

Then he saw Lombe's unkind eyes, and immediately continued: "They will fly out of the dream. ”

"Depending on the number of dream birds that fly out, they may bring into reality what is in the host's dream."

"Bring it into reality? What do you mean? Lombey asked with some curiosity and puzzlement.

Turning things in dreams into reality?

Umberto reorganized his language and said, "It is to make the dream come true, and if the host's dream is a dream at that time, the dream will be made real according to the number of dream birds." ”

"If it's a nightmare......"

At this point he closed his mouth.

But most of the people understood what he meant.

If it's a nightmare, and there are just enough of the dream birds that live there, it may bring the nightmare into reality if it flies out.

But dreams are not something that people can control, and if you happen to dream of some not-so-beautiful nightmares, once they are really brought into reality, it will indeed bring disaster to the surrounding area or even a large area.

For example, dreaming of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

"But don't worry, this kind of dream bird is very small in our population, and with the world shattering, it is almost impossible to see."

"There aren't enough of them, and even if they fly out of their dreams, they won't have any effect on reality at all."

Umberto speaks of reality on the side.

The shattering of the world has greatly reduced the spirits of the whole world.

If it weren't for the mist, there might be fewer spirits now.
