But it must have disappeared, after all, that place was a special product of the conspiracy of the strangers, and now that Sauron is dead, reality and the dream world are separated again, that special map should have disappeared.

At this moment, the scepter, which had been lying quietly on the stone table, suddenly floated and slowly floated into his hand under Ran's surprised eyes, and the tip of the scepter pointed in one direction of the mist.

This is?

Rann looked in the direction of the scepter, but all he could see was a fog, and suddenly, he seemed to hear something, it seemed that someone, many people were calling him.

"Lord Lanne?"

The Sphinx looked at Rann who was suddenly silent suspiciously, and at this time, he trembled all over, and inexplicably sensed the signs of danger from Rann at this moment.

"Sphinx." Rann said, "You said before that some non-human beings can go to another dream through the fog of the dream gap, and I remember that you also came through the dream gap, how did you manage to shuttle? ”

The Sphinx trembled, but still asked strongly, "Do you have any thoughts on this attribute of tsundere?" ”

"I don't have any opinions, it's cute."

Oooo

Do you hear me, my stupid master, your chances are soaring! The Sphinx straightened his back: "I heard you calling me, and then I had a faint feeling in my heart that I could come to you from this direction, so I came without hesitation!" ”

"Feel ......," Rann murmured, looking straight ahead and stepping into the fog.

When he stepped out of the platform, there was an abyss under his feet, but strangely, he faintly felt as if an invisible path was paved in front of him, and there was a down-to-earth touch under his feet.

The voice was still ahead, and Rann continued to walk.

One step, one step

Da, da

It was as if he was walking in a foggy weather where he couldn't see his fingers, and there was only the sound of his footsteps around, and he obviously felt that the Sphinx seemed to be following before, but gradually, there was only one voice left.

Babbling

There were rubbing sounds, whispers, unknown prayers, the sound of some large creature mopping the floor in the mist.

Rann remembered what the Sphinx had said before, that some inhuman beings could travel through the mist, and after realizing what a dangerous thing he had done at the moment, cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Wait a minute, the Sphinx didn't seem to say that it must be safe in the fog, what if you encounter a high-level weird head-on? What if there is a presence similar to him in the mist, or even an evil god shuttling through it? Wouldn't it be cool if you met it?

But now it seems to be too late to go back, Rann turned around and found that the way he came from was long gone, no matter which direction he came from in front and behind, it was a fog, and he couldn't see the direction he came from clearly, and he might not be able to return to the original place even if he walked back.

If you know that you can navigate the dice, you might be able to remember the direction in this fog.

Rann thought, pulling the dice out of his pocket.

Idle is idle, cast lucky.

Lucky: Success.

Rann breathed a sigh of relief and walked head-on, head-on, into the fog of no one who knew what was going forward.

He did not see the direction in which he was walking.

The demons retreat.

Countless strange creatures hid in the mist, looking at the figure from afar with fear and longing, and one of them, who had almost passed by Rann, patted his chest.

It's so dangerous, I almost hit it.

The scepter, covered with strange patterns, intimidates the strangeness of the shadows.

A fog of madness hovered over his face, obscuring him for who he really was.

The weirdos didn't dare to approach, and they were attracted by the strange attraction, and they were unwilling to stay away.

I could only stare at the figure from afar, in the mist.

Gradually, Rann heard the voice grow louder and louder, and the fog around him dissipated, a premonition that he had arrived.

kiss

A crisp sound of foam bursting sounded in his ears, and Rann came from the fog to ...... A strange and familiar forest.

"Ran

My lord! The Sphinx followed, tired and sticking out his tongue, "You—you go slower." ”

"You've been following?"

"Yes, but you went too fast for me to follow." Sphinx said.

Rann didn't think much of it, and withdrew his gaze to look at the forest in front of him, which was clearly not a natural formation.

"Hey, is this your kingdom of God, it's really ......" The Sphinx looked at the strange and twisted dark forest in front of him, and the words of praise stuck in his throat, and said dryly, "It's unusual." ”

Rann ignored the Sphinx's sycophancy, and his mood was very complicated right now.

He didn't expect to summon himself to the hospital in front of him.

That's right, the hospital, the same place where Rann was trapped in the first place, he originally thought that it had come to naught with Sauron's conspiracy, but he didn't expect it to exist.

Wait a minute, so what to say......

"Lord Lann!"

Rann froze, and his eyes turned to find the doctors, nurses, and paramedics all standing outside the fence staring at him excitedly.

These nurses and doctors were still in the form of monsters that Rann had seen last time, and Rann was caught off guard when he saw so many pairs of terrifying eyes staring at him, and Ran's expression froze.

Among them is Anita, who I have seen before, she is still huge, but there is more tiredness on her face.

"You didn't lie to us, you really came!"

"yes......" Rann smiled awkwardly, he couldn't say he thought everything was gone, and quietly walked over and asked, "Is it normal in the hospital?" ”

"It's not good," Nurse Mary walked over gracefully, she was actually very beautiful when she wasn't turning into a spider, her skin was leaden gray, but it didn't damage her gorgeous features, "the hospital has been very busy lately, very busy, and everyone's pressure is also very high. ”

Rann heard about it, but he didn't expect that what happened during the day would also affect the night.

Oh no, according to the previous speculation about the rules of the hospital, everything in the hospital at night is a reflection of the reality of the day, and it is only natural that it will be affected.

"But Dean, your presence has made everyone very happy, and I believe they should be able to devote themselves to work again." Nurse Mary said with a smile.

The nurses and nurses behind her didn't dare to say anything, but their eyes were full of tiredness and bloodshots, and Rann thought of the ambulances that had barely stopped in the city in reality, and his eyebrows softened: "You guys have worked hard. ”

The nurses and nurses were slightly stunned, and then said excitedly: "No, it's not hard!" ”

"Dean, you're all very happy to be here."

"What can I do, and there's no way I can make your workload less." Rann whispered, looking around at the hospital around him, keenly aware of the difference.

The last time he was here, it didn't seem like there were so many trees and plants in the hospital, right?

And the trees were so different from the ones he saw on a regular basis that Rann felt as if he could dominate them as he did now over the entire hospital.

Tree...... Forest.

Rann looked at the scepter in his hand, and he remembered that the original description of the scepter seemed to be: "How can the Faun not have a forest of his own? 】

Although I don't know why Arkham Hospital still exists, judging from the reactions of the medical staff here, his status and authority as the director are still there, and he can still control this hospital and control the land freely.

And these plants, as if they are the embodiment of their own will.

Is this the Sphinx's "kingdom of God"?

If that's the case......

Under the watchful eyes of all the medals and the Sphinx, Rann raised his scepter and tentatively tapped it on the thickest plant in the atrium.

What is the kingdom of God, every move, word and deed of God is reality.

The twisted plant suddenly stretched out, and it gradually grew upward, and soon became the tallest tree in the atrium, so conspicuous that the whole hospital could see the existence of the tree, and soon white flowers bloomed on the dark branches.

It was an unknown flower, which did not exist in the real world, the petals showed a point of point, and the stamens were red, and soon one

The enchanting fragrance permeates the entire hospital, and all the medical staff who smell it are as intoxicated as catnip cats.

Puff, puff

One by one, they fell to the ground and fell asleep, and the Sphinx, who had been half-squinting with pleasure, was startled and almost dared not breathe for a while.

"Don't worry, they're just too tired to fall asleep, and they'll be refreshed when they wake up." Rann explained.

After imagining the effect of this flower in my mind, the trees in the atrium really began to grow on their own, producing these small white flowers.

At the same time, Rann was also vaguely sure that this was his [Kingdom of God].

Although I don't know how it was formed, it may have something to do with his previous 'awakening' and becoming the dean to master the Night Hospital, Rann can feel that the magic circle in the atrium that seems to maintain the Night Hospital is immersed in his own power, so he can perfectly control everything in this Night Hospital.

Like a lucid dreamer, he has become the rightful master of this place, and even if the strongest weird enters his own kingdom, Rann is sure to kill it.

The Sphinx was relieved and breathed heavily, not to mention, this fragrance really smelled good, and after smelling it for a long time, it felt refreshed.

"In the end, it's just a matter of how to get players in." Rann muttered.

The previous way to enter this night hospital was to walk into the daytime hospital in reality, and then the director could forcibly pull people into the night hospital.

Do you want to make all players use the hospital as an entrance?,But wouldn't that be too strange.,As long as you're pulled into the hospital at night.,The player will disappear in reality.,So everyone knows it's boring.。

It would be nice if you could locate the player's location and then use the authority of the acting dean to pull the player over.

At this time, Rann suddenly thought of something.

Positioning...... It doesn't seem like there's no way.

Rann remembered, wasn't that the magic circle he used to communicate with evil gods be?!

He had used it with Carmen, who was extremely weak, and had gained a follower, but it was a half-finished product without any prayers, signs, or specific sacrifices, and could only connect with nearby gods.

At the time, Rann didn't understand why it worked, but he understands now.

So what if you add a specific prayer to yourself? What will be the result?

"Sphinx." Rann looked at the Sphinx, "I have a task for you. ”

……

Archie walked restlessly through the gap in his dreams.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and his origin ability actually ran away with long legs, and he still ran away in front of him.

Archie finally made up his mind that he would answer even the most shameful questions asked by the Sphinx, find out Albert's whereabouts, and find out what the Faceling was.

But just when he finally made up his mind, the Sphinx actually ran away!

It is difficult to describe Archie's mood at that moment, not only the ease of not having to answer the shameful question, but also the tangle of his ability to go to others in front of him, and the anxiety of worrying about friends and unknown enemies.

/>

But fortunately, the Sphinx finally returned an hour later.

"You still know to come back!" Archie snorted.

The Sphinx licked the fur off his hands, not in the slightest bit affected by Archie's emotions.

"Don't do that with my face!" Archie said.

"Please, I'm your power, your origin, is this something I can control?" The Sphinx pointed to himself, very aggrieved, "Do you think I don't want to have the face of a cute kitten, even if it's a mighty lion, Lord Rann will definitely like me!" ”

After that, the corners of his mouth twitched, full of ridicule: "Unlike someone, dead tsundere, tired, and not a golden haired beautiful girl, big man tsundere has no trace of cuteness." ”

Archie took a deep breath and forcibly resisted the murderous behavior.

No, Archie, he's your ability, what's the difference between that and doing it to yourself?

In an instant, he began to miss the originally taciturn Faceling, at least his character would not be so cheap.

"I'm going to ask questions." Archie said coldly.

"Oh, wait a minute."

"What are you going to do? Go catch the second one?! ”

The Sphinx glanced at Archie strangely: "What nonsense, I'm you, you're me, you can't say that about yourself!" ”

Before Archie could make a move, the Sphinx shrewdly said, "Lord Rann is calling you." ”

Archie was stunned for a moment, and the hand he raised subconsciously put down.

"Don't worry," the Sphinx said meaningfully, "you will get all the answers from that lord, well, that lord has given me the drawing method of the circle, I will leave it to you now, you just need to recite the prayer in reality, you should know how to do it." ”

After getting the method of outlining the circle from the Sphinx, Archie exited the Dream Gap.

He didn't depict the circle immediately, but went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then looked up in the mirror.

The black-haired young man in the mirror had dark circles under his eyes formed by overtime, and there were bloodshot eyes, which wore away the coldness and unapproachable sharpness in his original temperament.

The child who only dared to stand in the last row in the group photo when he was a child has now grown up to be a well-known poisonous adviser in the police station, except for the long eyebrows and eyes, there are no traces of his childhood.

He couldn't imagine that he would be obsessed with Rann like those crazy believers.

He stroked his chest, there seemed to be a residual excitement in it, yes, after learning from the Sphinx that Rann wanted to see him, Archie's heartbeat was out of his control, no matter how much he did construction, he couldn't deceive himself.

"It's just a side effect that was hinted at earlier," he said to the person in the mirror, "yes, it must just be ...... Side effect. ”

He bowed his head, dipped his finger in the water, and drew the outline of the circle at the sink.

Thin lips open and closed:

"You are a subversive of fate

Unspeakably mysterious

The new master of forests and nature"

Suddenly, Archie's eyes were hazy, the heavens and the earth were reversed, and the outlines of all the objects in his field of vision on the retina were elongated, and the color patches mischievously ran to places that did not belong to them, and the kaleidoscope generally swirled in front of Archie's eyes.

Reason is faintly detached from the established trajectory, and just when Archie is about to lose control of himself, everything returns to normal.

And he, already standing in front of a twisted dark forest.

Something seemed to beckon him, and Archie subconsciously stepped into the strange woods of the atrium, remembering that he had seen this place before, but he didn't know when there were so many plants here, and a black tree had bloomed, and the small white flowers had become the only thing in this world that looked soft.

The scent of flowers lingered in his nose, driving away the after-effects of chaotic madness, and Archie continued to walk in until the presence was reflected in his eyes.

The deepest part of the forest of black-twisted branches gradually weaves into a throne that is black in its entirety, and the backrest is covered with vines of various colors.

The boy with his inhuman beauty sat on the throne, and at the first sight of him, Archie's heart shook as if he had been beaten with a hammer.

In the dark forest, Rann was like two completely different people from him on weekdays, solemn and solemn, and the inhuman sense of strangeness was completely aroused, making it difficult for people to look directly at his green eyes that showed through the gold edge.

Archie almost forgot to breathe, his heart beating like a drum, completely forgetting the mental construction he had just done.

Rann looked at Archie's stunned appearance and nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that the effect was good, and it was in vain that he deliberately kept a straight face.

And since Archie was able to get here, then his previous attempts were also successful, as long as any believer carved out a magic circle to communicate with the evil gods, coupled with a pointed prayer, Rann could pull them into the kingdom of God.

Of course, the premise is that he himself is in the kingdom of God.

"Archie." Rann spoke up.

Archie came back to his senses, down

Consciousness took a step back: "My lord." ”

"Don't be nervous, I'm just trying to experiment with something this time, and it's already worked." Rann said.

"Yes." Hearing about the experiment, Archie didn't feel any displeasure, and even had a joy that could help Rann.

No, no, no, this is just a hint effect from before!

"Archie, the Sphinx told me you have something you want to ask, what is it?" Rann asked.

Archie finally recovered from the awkward mood with himself: "Do you know where Albert is? I've received news of his disappearance. ”

Ah, Albert......

Because so much has happened lately, Rann has completely forgotten about Albert's affairs.

The final impression of that incident was that Albert and Sauron were suspected to have 'perished together', but judging by Archie's words, it seems that no one had found Albert's charred body in the clearing.

So where the hell did this person go? Did you run away on your own?

"Sphinx." Rann exclaimed, "I remember the last of the three questions." ”

"Of course."

The Sphinx appeared behind Archie at some point, enthusiastically leaned up to Ranne's legs, and deliberately turned his head to look at Archie.

Archie:?

"Which believer are you most concerned about right now?" The Sphinx asked.

When did the Sphinx's Q&A completely detach itself from the riddle...... Rann thought and replied, "Edmund." ”

If there is anyone to focus on the most at the moment, it must be Edmund, who is lurking in the inspection bureau team, and Rann is very worried about the other party being exposed, and even more worried about what he will do aggressively.

The Sphinx turned his head to look at Archie in hatred.

"......" Archie glared back, nosy.

Rann is most concerned about which believer and what matters to him.

Sphinx: "Albert is now far away, close at hand. ”

Rann subconsciously looked at the trees in the dark forest.

"Oh no, no, no, it's not that close." The Sphinx hurriedly said, not daring to sell Guan Zi again, "He is in your kingdom of God." ”

Albert in this hospital?

Archie and Rann were stunned, and Rann settled down, used his authority in the Kingdom of God, and quickly found Albert.

Counterpart...... Lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital's inpatient department.

When Rann and Archie walked into the intensive care unit, they saw a badly burned humanoid body lying on a hospital bed, covered in green mucus, wearing a ventilator, and a faint life response coming from the machine next to it.

Archie couldn't believe that the dying man in front of him was Albert, and if it wasn't for Rann stopping him in time, he would have almost rushed straight to it.

"Calm down." Rann said, his eyes swept over the room, and on the floor of the ward, some of the instruments also had light green mucus, and a certain feeling told him that this light green mucus was not poisonous, but was the reason why Albert had survived until now.

His gaze finally lingered on the bottom of another bed in the intensive care unit, where something like a green tentacle appeared.

Rann stood still, the vines hiding under the bed as if they had been grabbed by an invisible hand and placed in front of Rann and Archie.

"What is this?" Archie was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a moving vine ball.

It looked like a bunch of snakes wriggling into a clump of squirming, and it would produce some green chirp of slime, which made the somewhat clean Archie frown.

"Old Luke......" Rann said with mixed feelings, "so you sent Albert here?" ”

After solving the case, he said why Albert was here.

Judging from the slime on Albert's body and the marks on the ground, it is clear that the other party is the initiator, and I don't know how he managed to avoid the sight of the doctors and nurses and quietly get people here.

"Luke?" A look of surprise flashed in Archie's eyes, he remembered the name, it was in his father's notebook, "How did he become like this?" ”

But that Luke wasn't tune

Inspector? And it is suspected that the person who saved him when he was a child and hypnotized him, how could he become such a ghost?

The culprit, Rann, coughed uncomfortably: "There was a little accident, but I didn't expect him to recover yet." ”

Oh no, I'm going to have to see how old Luke is doing during the day.

But it's not Luke Sr. who matters most.

Rann walked over to the bedside and looked at the dying man lying on it, and told Archie to wake up the doctors and nurses, believing that they had enough time to recuperate.

I just don't know if Albert can survive after becoming like this, alas, let's try to rescue it.

Rann also had mixed impressions of Albert as a person.

There is no doubt that there are many secrets worth digging in the other party, and there is no doubt that he deliberately approached him with a purpose, and even once became an enemy of Ranne, but after knowing the truth, Rann had no way to truly resent the other party.

Of course, one is that he did not suffer any substantial harm, and the second is that he was sent to a stranger as an undercover agent by the inspection bureau, but in the end he was betrayed by his own justice, which is really sad.

Especially after Rann learned from Archie that Albert was still an extremely righteous person, this absurdity and sadness were even deeper.

Rann shook his head, forget it, let's save it first, anyway, it won't get in the way.

Soon the doctor and nurse were brought over by Archie, who began to rescue him with great medical ethics, and when he was finally out of danger, Archie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rann, but I'm sorry for you to wait here with me."

"It's okay, it's just a small thing."

Actually, Rann was only thinking about the player's arrival tomorrow, but he didn't have to say it: "I might have to bother you to do something, and I have time to go to Arkham Hospital to see if Luke and Albert Sr. will show up in the hospital during the day." ”

Based on the player's previous experience, they should have ended up in the hospital entirely, and only the medical staff have day and night double-faces, but it doesn't hurt to make sure.

Archie: "I see. ”

After a few last words, Rann left with Archie.

There are 5 hours left until the arrival of the player. ：，，.
