Most of the "God's Forsaken Lands" don't have normal roads, but they are not difficult to walk, because large swaths of the wilderness are barren wilderness, and deep black is the dominant color of everything.

In the wilderness, there were occasional stubborn plants that were so strange and twisted that Crane couldn't tell what they were based on.

All around, where the lantern flame could not reach, the night seemed to have a life of its own, and it seemed to wriggle silently in the depths, trying to devour everything that covered it.

As an "ancient scholar", Klein just swept out of the corner of his eye, and saw one "spirit line" after another extending from the deep darkness around him, which was illusory, fine, and innumerable, indicating that there were a large number of monsters lurking in the darkness.

The monsters were extremely silent, watching Amon in the guise of an ancient magician and Crane in the form of a gentleman of the present age, as they walked through the barren wilderness in the dim light.

Crane stared ahead, casually carrying the leather lantern, not worrying at all about when it would go out.

As he and Amon were about to leave the wilderness and enter the hilly area, in the darkness diagonally behind them, a monster with a deformed body, two heads, five arms, and curled up into a ball of flesh suddenly shook for a moment.

It has become Klein's secret puppet.

The manipulation of the "Spirit Thread" was already silent, and the distance did not exceed five hundred meters.

The next second, the monster collapsed quietly, losing its own life.

Walking to Klein's left, Amon in a peaked floppy hat smiled, raised his right arm, and spread his palm, revealing something:

It was a transparent worm with a three-dimensional pattern.

"Spirit Worm"!

It was stolen by Amon from the puppet along with the "Spirit Thread".

Without waiting for Crane to speak, Amon easily flexed his fingers into a fist and crushed the transparent worm.

Klein suddenly felt a pain from the depths of his soul, and his head felt as if it was about to crack.

Fortunately, he had made the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell and the "Soul Control Bullet" many times before, and he was more accustomed to this feeling, only distorting his face, and not losing his temper much.

Amon kept the smile he had just now, shook off his palm and said:

"You're too reserved, you can be bold. ”

Crane, who had recovered from the pain, raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, only to feel physically and mentally exhausted, and every "spirit worm" was calling for rest.

In the process of being chased by Zarathu, the spirituality that Klein borrowed from himself in the past was almost consumed, and he continued to "teleport" in the follow-up, using the "Angel's Embrace" to eliminate the traces, which was already close to the limit.

After returning to the safe area, he originally planned to go to the gray mist to check the surrounding conditions and go into a deep sleep to regain his energy, but he was ambushed by Amun, tragically "parasitized", and tossed all the way to this god's forsaken land. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a desperate situation and naturally squeezed his potential, he might have fallen asleep on the way, or there were signs of loss of control.

"I need to rest now. Crane put down his right hand and said calmly.

He believed that Amon would meet his request, because the more he tried his best and could not escape, the more he could satisfy the pleasure-seeking psychology of the "god of mischief".

"Good. Amun's monocle-cloaked face turned slightly, and he said to the side of the hill, "There are places to rest, you can get there quickly, of course, I don't mind if you want to sleep in the wilderness, I just feel that you humans may prefer a place that provides a sense of security." ”

"Just go there. Crane wanted to directly manipulate the flames of the lantern to complete the jump, but his dry spirit stopped him, so he had to follow Amon and rely on his feet to move forward step by step.

On the way, Klein said to Amon with the mentality of asking more questions and understanding more:

"Why don't you steal the distance and get straight to your destination. ”

Amon turned his head sideways, glanced at Klein with his right eye wearing crystal monocles, and said with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth:

"I'm not the one who wants to rest. ”

...... Crane closed his mouth and walked forward quietly.

After about a dozen lightning strikes, Amon raised his hand and slanted forward:

"It's here. ”

Less than a hundred meters away, in the shadow of the hill, scattered several half-section buildings that resembled the top of the spire, and the surrounding ground protruded from the ground a dozen massive stone pillars that were only knee-high for Klein, and a small amount of wild grass grew from their crevices, the tips dark red as blood.

"Was once inhabited here?" Crane asked, rubbing his forehead again.

Amon pressed the second joint of his right index finger against the edge of the monocle and said with a smile:

"It used to be a large city-state, but when the cataclysm came, the earth cracked open and the whole city was swallowed up, and these are the only proofs that it once existed. ”

The destruction of civilization...... A thought popped into Crane's mind, and he quickened his pace to reach his destination in the strange wild grass.

After entering a half-collapsed building, Crane instinctively looked around and observed the place.

The cracks in the gray and white stone walls were frescoes that had been washed over thousands of years, and they had long been blurred, and it was only vaguely visible that the people of this city-state were proud to enter the kingdom of heaven after death.

Crane adjusted his breathing, threw away the leather lantern in his hand, and leaned against a thick stone pillar, barely visualizing the cascading balls of light.

He didn't care what the danger of sleeping in such an environment would be.

Let the danger come more violently!, before falling asleep, Crane cried out inwardly.

Amun, dressed in the robes of a classical magician, glanced at him, sat down casually next to him, and snapped his fingers.

In the leather lantern, the candles that were about to burn stopped melting, but the dim light continued to emit.

It can only hold on for a few more minutes, and it seems that it can last for hours or even days.

It's like a mistake, a mistake that goes against the laws of nature.

After groggy and unsure of how long he had been asleep, Crane finally regained his strength and woke up to the prayers of Miss "The Magician".

To this, he had no way to respond for the time being, closed his eyes, and pretended that he was still in a dream.

In a non-deep-seated "parasitic" state, Amon should not be able to monitor my thoughts, only whether my current thoughts are harmful to him...... Crane's heart moved, and he quietly made a summon into the gray mist.

He borrowed a state from the pores of history, from his past self, and did not directly address the state of the escape.

That's how his Mind Island was when it was invaded by Herwin Lambis.

The attempt was not stopped, it was not stolen.

With the help of this state and the peculiarity of his own ability to remain awake in the invaded dream and mental world, Klein's self-perception diverged partially, dwelling in the spiritual sky, calmly looking down on the island of consciousness.

He began to examine his mind for abnormal, parasitic thoughts.

After some strict discernment, Klein preliminarily confirmed that there was no problem with his spiritual world.

In other words, even if Amon still has the "Time Worm" in his body, it is a shallow "parasite" and cannot listen to his thoughts.

After finding such a "safe zone", Klein was finally able to let go of his suppressed thoughts, analyze the current situation, and consider subsequent self-help:

"Amun is the 'god of mischief' and the 'god of deception,' and he could never play this game for the sake of mere pleasure...... If he really wants to do this, he can wait until he is in union with his own body, steals my fate, and gets the 'Source Castle' before trying, so that even if something happens, his main purpose has been achieved, and nothing is lost......

What is his hidden purpose in this? If he can grasp the key, maybe he can find real life......

"Also, the fact that after he recited the incantation of the 'Transit Ritual' in Chinese, he was indifferent to this particular language and did not ask any questions, which was completely inconsistent with his curiosity......

"Uh...... Did He then say the word 'Bug' on purpose to test what I would think of......

"But He didn't steal my thoughts, no, if all the thoughts that had nothing to do with the before and after were stolen, then I wouldn't have found out......"

Klein recalls the situation at the time, and makes sure that his thoughts were not stolen at that time, based on the logical connection between the previous and subsequent thoughts.

And this made him affirm one thing in reverse.

That is, in the deep "parasitic" state, Amon can directly listen to his thoughts without stealing!

Amon is deceiving by acting that he must first perceive harmful thoughts before he can manipulate them!

"I'll just say that the deep 'parasitism' I experienced before seems to be a little different from what Pales described......

According to this inference, my inner thoughts along the way should have been heard by Amun, including the earth, the villagers, and the education of children......

"It's horrible......

"Fortunately, when I was planning to sabotage the promotion ceremony of George III, I had anticipated the situation of being in a desperate situation and being 'parasitized' by Amon, and the leaked thoughts were half instinctive reactions, half intentional indulgence, so that I not only revealed the secret, 'trusted' Amon, but also hid the most critical and core things.

"Just like now, he must have known that I intended to extract more historical secrets from him in order to digest the 'ancient scholar' potion as soon as possible, but he would not know that I was not far from being completely digested, just two or three steps or an opportunity......

"Is it because Amon deliberately lifted the 'parasite' and played such a game because he had heard about the earth from the ancient sun god, came into contact with some secret, and planned to save himself to drive me to help him do something that was inconvenient or impossible for him? If this is the case, there must be some situation to come......

"Well, I have to show that I didn't notice this and plan to run away as normal. ”

"When you get in shape, you'll make your first 'attempt!'" After a while of "sleeping", Klein opened his eyes.

Amun, who was wearing a peaked soft hat, sat next to him, looked at him with a smile and said:

"Have you figured it out, when will you start moving?"

He acted like Klein's accomplice, not a target to flee.
