The words of the old bishop exceeded the most bizarre assumptions of everyone on the scene, so that after the old man's voice fell, there was no one to speak for half a minute, and finally Hao Ren was the first to break the silence: "You mean, The whole city of gods is gone? "
"Ninety percent of the urban area has disappeared, and only a small part of the ring zone closest to the holy mountain of Asoman-the side of the Divine Spirit, including the iconic palace and several subsidiary palaces. With the blocking of power, the reconnaissance team we sent failed to get close to detectives in the past, but only by observing from the outside, it can also be determined that the Holy Light of the Iconostasis has been extinguished, and the entire building cannot even see any breath of life. "
Karathius couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Goddess!"
The high bishop's hands clenched involuntarily and let go spasmly. Obviously, the overwhelming news caused him to lose his mind, and he felt helpless.
In this case, only Hao Ren who always maintains a third-party perspective can still ask as usual: "Did you send someone to explore after that? Are there any remaining urban areas around the city of God's Dependence? Is it in the wilderness outside? Isn't there a survivor? Maybe these can tell us what happened. "
The old bishop shook his head helplessly: "Of course we have thought about what you said, but the repeated attacks of the nightmare forces have exhausted the remaining priests in Luan City. It is already a miracle that we stick to this cathedral. How could it be possible to send the second batch of teams. In fact, the first team had a lot of casualties. At that time, we organized the reconnaissance team with the idea of desperately breaking through to seek help from the Holy City, but now the whole devotion The city is flying away, and no new reconnaissance team can start. "
Hao Ren glanced at Carathius next to him. The other party was still in shock and grief at the moment, but the high bishop still calmed down with his extraordinary willpower. He exhaled for a long time: "We must go immediately Asoman ... Mr. Hao Ren, do you have a plan? "
Until now, Karathus has not forgotten the decree he heard from the pope ’s mouth when he set off. He firmly believes that Hao Ren, the “miracle” from the Kasuan Temple, is the hope to save Asoman, even if the situation deteriorates again, he I also believe so strongly-because this has almost become the only reason to support him to continue. Now that the bizarre disappearance of the city of gods, he needs a pillar of faith that supports his actions.
However, Hao Ren did not answer immediately. He just thought about it and suddenly asked, "Bishop Holtzman, did the city of divine care cut off external contacts before the chaos completely covered the earth?"
He heard a suspicious detail from the old bishop ’s description, so he could n’t help but ask.
The old bishop nodded.
"At that time, the city of God's Deeds did not" disappear "?"
The old bishop continued to nod: "It should be the case. At that time, the glory from the holy city can be observed, and the existence of the holy city can also be confirmed by divine divination, but all communication channels are cut off." /
"That is to say, at least until the beginning of the first nightmare, the city of gods is safe and sound, but it was completely blocked at that time, and then it disappeared bizarrely, and no one knew what happened in the process."
Karrasius looked at Hao Ren in doubt: "What did you think of?"
Hao Ren said lightly: "I suspect that someone has actively cut off the connection between the city of the gods and the outside world, and this person can only be the ruler of the city."
"Under the Pope? This is impossible," Karasius said immediately, "Why did he do this?"
"There are many reasons, maybe it is controlled, maybe to protect the Holy City, or maybe to protect other cities, maybe he is to prevent some evil forces from spreading through the magical connection between the cities. "?" Hao Ren raised his eyelids. "I didn't say anything else."
Speaking, he looked at the corner and looked at him without a word: "Dark, do you have anything to say?"
The woman said before that she had a major mission and must go to the sanctuary, but now that she has really arrived in the sanctuary, she is as silent as a puppet, as if this place has nothing to do with her. Hao Ren is curious Also want to hear her.
Dark seems to be wandering outside the sky, and suddenly awakened until Hao Ren called her again, her hood moved, and a hoarse voice came out from it: "Before going to Asuman, I will look at those who fell into a nightmare Exactly what kind of person it is. "
Hao Ren and Karathus ’eyes fell on Bishop Holtzman. The old man nodded happily:" Of course. "
Although the surviving priests of Luan City can only be trapped in the cathedral at present, they have never given up finding a way out of the predicament, so the study of the nightmare phenomenon has always been continuous. They found people who had fallen into nightmares from the city and took them to an annex building behind the cathedral, trying to find a way to cure the nightmare and reverse the erosion, but they have not made any progress so far.
Hao Ren and his party saw the Luan citizens who fell asleep. A total of more than a dozen people were lying neatly on both sides of a long room. Several low-level assistant priests were taking care of these "living corpses." The scene is as weird as the morgue.
This building was originally a medical hall attached to the cathedral.
People eroded by the chaotic nightmare look the same as ordinary people. They just lie quietly, breathing slowly to the extreme, but life characteristics such as heartbeats are as usual, just like falling into sleep normally. Tubes of unknown purpose extend from their bedding and are connected to metal utensils next to the beds. Milky halos and runes float in the utensils. These seem to be medical devices based on divine power used by the church.
Because the old bishop still stays in the underground palace to preside over the overall situation, the priest Bernstein, who had previously received the people, once again acted as a guide and commentator. He explained the situation of sleeping citizens: "This is what happens to people who fall into a nightmare. They look like ordinary living people, but their souls are hovering in the gap between reality and illusion. Their bodies are lying here from their spirits. The shadow of the birth in the world wanders in the outside city, much like a soul out of it, but it does not work with ordinary spirit-calling magic or tranquilizers. "
Dan slowly walked between these "living corpses", carefully checking the condition of one or two of them from time to time, without saying a word.
Hao Ren couldn't help but asked her: "Did you find anything?"
"Their soul has fallen into the" other side "," murmured, "It is not their soul that wanders in the outside city, but only the phantom that is refracted from the" other side "again, more than the soul. Nothingness is weaker than dreams. However, those phantom shadows have a huge threat, because they carry the "other side" breath. This is a precursor to the imprisoned person breaking free from the barrier and crossing the barrier. The more the shadows are in the real world Activity, the more fragile the barrier, the more breath leaked out, which will greatly speed up the collapse of the prison. "
Hao Ren did n’t expect that An Yi could even say so much, and was suddenly fooled by the other party ’s vague and ambiguous words. He glared: "Can it be translated into common language?" What is the 'other side'? "
The dark hood lifted up slightly: "Another part of Koror ’s being folded up, the cage of eternal exile, holding Lockmatton ’s Forgotten Abyss."
Father Bernstein standing behind Hao Ren took a breath.
"You said that these people who had fallen into a nightmare were actually sucked into Lockmarton's prison ?!" Hao Ren stared at the dark, "Then their actions in the prison were projected into the real world again, and became a wandering in the city. Shadow? "
"That's exactly what it is."
Lily couldn't help but poked the dark cloak: "Hey, how do you know so much?"
"When I wait for Asoman, I will confess everything, but this is not the time."
Lily rolled his eyes: "Well, love to say nothing."
Hao Ren looked at the sleeping citizen and gently touched Lily's arm: "I don't know what connection this sleeping phenomenon has with the nightmare monster you caught."
"Would you like to bring it over to ask?" Lily's ears shuddered. "It was able to communicate normally last time. But most of the time, it can only take the initiative to speak. It seems that there is not much response when outsiders ask." /
Father Bernstein keenly heard the word "monster" and immediately asked: "Nightmare monster? Have you caught the culprit that caused the nightmare?"
"It was caught on the Ansu mainland. The attack on the border of the Kingdom of Taros is related to that kind of monster," Hao Ren simply explained two sentences. "Before we came here, we were not sure about the situation in the city, so First arrange for the monster to be detained in the woods outside the city, and you can bring it at any time. "
The priest became nervous as soon as he heard it: "Outside the city? Guarded? Will there be any accidents?"
Now the dark magic of the Holy Land is rampant. Although the power of chaos is temporarily forced outside the barrier, the teeth of the chaos have penetrated everywhere, and the city is not safe, let alone the wilderness outside the city sheltered by various temples, so the priest Was taken aback.
Hao Ren smiled slightly: "No problem, they all have artifacts on them."
Is n’t it an artifact, one dog hair per person?
But it may also be that Hao Ren's luck is not good today. As soon as his voice fell, his communicator suddenly turned on.
After the communication was connected, a panic cry immediately sounded: "Aw, Aowuu, Aowuu Wuuu ......"
Hao Ren is wondering, Lily snatched the communicator over: "Send someone who can speak people!"
There was a confusion across the communicator, and then a church knight hurriedly said: "Head wolf, that monster is out of order!"
Hao Ren really want to slap on his face: this is a face-slap! He couldn't tell the question just now.
"What's the situation?"
"It is ... evaporating!" (To be continued.)
