The loud crunching sound echoed in my ears.
With his eyes closed, he didn't feel any pain.
Click! Click!
Opening his eyes suddenly, Hitzfeld saw the big fish swimming around him, occasionally opening its mouth to bite at empty space.
Is it mentally ill?
You can obviously lock my location, why do you still...
Oh.
I see.
Looking down at his body, Hitzfeld guessed that it was his physical body in reality that had broken the gurgling in his stomach.
The throat was broken, and the hallucinogenic poison inside began to overflow, being neutralized by gastric juice and digested and absorbed... With the main ingredient of the soul-guiding incense as a foundation, the hallucinogenic poison would not have much impact on her. This is a kind of protection, but it may not be the case for other spirits in the dream world.
If I'm not mistaken, from now on, the soul-attracting fragrance I emit will have an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect.
This hallucinogenic effect will strengthen the effect of the main drug of the soul-guiding incense, making it more attractive to spirits. At the same time, it can also play a certain protective role for the drug user, such as making it difficult for those who want to eat the drug user to find her specific location...
The big fish now seemed to be in a fantasy world. It gradually lost track of Hitzfeld's approximate location and began to wander around the ward again, completely ignoring the girl who was floating in the air and had not yet been freed from the tentacles.
Call ~
Relieved, Hitzfeld began to be glad that he had decided to stay in the ward.
She struggled hard, using almost all her strength to break free from the tentacles, and was surprised to find that the "laws of physics" in the dream ruins had completely changed.
She couldn't go back - she couldn't fall from the air according to the rules of reality like she did at the beginning. She was still floating in the air, like a fish...
She seems to be able to try to swim...
He made a tentative move in the air and his body instantly shot out.
This wide sleeve robe almost killed her just now, but now it showed its super advantage. It was like giving her two large fins. As long as she operated it properly, she could jump two or three meters away with a wave of her arms, which was much better than her normal swimming skills.
After trying a few times and getting the hang of it, Hitzfeld glanced at the big fish still struggling in the ward, then swam out.
She was on high alert as she passed through the doorway, but the first thing she encountered was a cloud of black mist.
It was like black blood spreading in the water, hazy and scattered.
She shook her head and waved her hands and crawled out. She swam up to 10 to 20 meters in one breath, and then looked down. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.
A gigantic... not sure whether to call it an octopus or a squid monster was lurking below, its dense tentacles almost covering the entire chapel.
It didn't notice that Hitzfeld had left, and ignored her escape, still staring at the narrow doorway in the courtyard, waving its tentacles and hitting the roof again and again.
In addition, she saw more marine life.
Silver barracuda.
A school of mottled three-striped fish.
A long, thick, black-spotted sea snake.
There are even krill…hermit crabs…
Endless marine life gathered together for no reason and came here, to this dreamland.
It's like a dream.
This is the deep sea world in dreams.
Chapter 22 Undersea Tombstone Two-in-One
A light gray mist filled the air.
Just looking at this scene, looking at these swimming schools of fish, it is impossible to tell whether you are at the bottom of the sea or not. Hitzfeld tried to stabilize his body in mid-air, and gradually discovered another abnormality.
No…other people’s spirits.
It seems that only she and those cursed human spirits can touch this dreamlike deep sea world. Others... whether they are normal town residents or extraordinary people, they seem unable to enter this area.
Otherwise, how could she not have seen Xia until now?
She wouldn't go out to get some materials, but just because she was worried about me, she insisted on staying and sticking with me... After I fell asleep, this guy would definitely find a bed and lie down directly - she would never let me act alone in the dream world.
But the fact is that Xia Yibing didn't come. After almost 25 minutes of silence, she didn't see Xia, Xixus, Lu Xier, or Knight Blue.
Why can't they come in?
After swimming back and forth twice in the air, Hitzfeld looked at the ocean spirit that was gradually approaching him, dived down, and changed his position over a large area.
The hallucinogenic weapon of the soul-guiding incense can indeed confuse other spirits' perception of her location, but this protection is limited. When the number of spirits attracted by the soul-guiding incense is large enough to surround and squeeze out all her hiding space, just touching her is enough to catch her.
Diving from twenty meters in the air to a height of five or six meters, Hitzfeld looked up.
Two black-spotted sea snakes were fighting around the place where she had just been, tangled up in a ball with each other, and continuously emitting large amounts of black mist.
For these spirits, when they are injured in the dream world, black mist will be released. Then the black mist is almost equivalent to their blood...
Retracting his gaze, Hitzfeld glanced at the longhouse below and found that the giant octopus had also abandoned it and started to join the aerial battle.
But there are still some relatively smaller fish trying to attack the ward. This may be because she has stayed in it for too long and a lot of soul-attracting fragrance has accumulated.
Carefully avoiding a group of unknown sharp-toothed fish the size of a palm, Hitzfeld landed in the yard where he had practiced swordplay before and peered into the ward to observe the situation.
New discovery—she saw a cloud of dark mist floating out of the ward.
This thing is different from the "black mist blood" produced by the fight with the "Sea Spirit", because obviously, along with the vibration, a deep green light will continue to emanate from its interior.
This is the spirit of those patients.
After the first one, there was the second one. Soon, all the fog balls in the ward spontaneously squirmed and drifted out, surrounding the girl as if they had identified her.
Hitzfeld hesitated and did not stop them from approaching.
She noticed a phenomenon: the closer the fog was to her, the slower its vibration frequency was, and the more determined its movement was.
On the contrary, the fog group that was farther away from him vibrated at a higher frequency, showing some struggling and uncertain characteristics, as if he was thinking about whether to come over or not.
Gradually, more and more fog floated out from the wards, and her figure was surrounded by the fog.
Each of these things was about the size of a football, a hazy cluster that looked a bit like a group of green jellyfish. They didn't touch Hitzfeld, but just gathered around her, trembling slowly like breathing, absorbing the special fragrance she emitted.
After making sure there was no danger to himself, Hitzfeld knew what to do.
This is the main purpose of her trip: to lure these human spirits back from the control of "summoning" and restore their real bodies to normal.
But the current situation... Although these green jellyfish are no longer affected by the summoning, they have not returned to their original form and woken up either?
The effect of the soul-guiding incense is still too strong. They seem to be too obsessed with me... What should I do next? It's not a good idea to let them follow me...
While thinking, Hitzfeld immediately saw another string of green jellyfish floating in the sky.
Oh, I forgot there were other victims...
When Sixus brought her to this ward, he told her that this was for people in the "third week". If there was a third week, there must be a fourth week, but maybe she felt that it was not suitable for "entry" and didn't take them to see it on the first day.
At this moment, the string of green jellyfish and fog balls floating in the sky were vibrating at a frighteningly high frequency.
It wasn't just a tremor every second, it was more like twitching. The green light was very unstable, giving people a feeling that it would explode at any time.
This should be a fourth week patient.
The patients in the fourth week had completely collapsed mentally. They were unable to communicate and had lost their minds. They only knew how to follow the summons and resist the restraints, even at the cost of their own lives.
This corresponds to the situation of these fog balls. Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes in thought, then slowly pushed away the fog balls around him and swam his body to hang behind.
The fog balls that were lured by her first dispersed, then quickly followed her, hanging behind her and accompanying her in the sea of gray fog.
Now the situation is very clear - those fog clusters that are less affected, that is, the spirits of the patients, can still be saved. They will be attracted by the fragrance and will no longer be controlled by the "summoning" but will become fascinated by Hitzfeld.
As for those terminally ill fog balls, even the soul-guiding incense was ineffective against them. They seemed to have not seen Hitzfeld and kept swimming steadily in a certain direction.
Hitzfeld believes that direction is key.
If they follow it, they might be able to find out what is calling them.
The gray fog rolled in, and looking down from above, one could vaguely see a spectacle.
A group of "green jellyfish" led the way, followed by another group of green jellyfish and a young girl.
Behind them were countless schools of fish, and among them were large fish and tentacles...
Everything was looming in the mist, just like being in a real ocean, sometimes sinking into the dark vortex, and sometimes emerging from it.
Hitzfeld turned around and glanced at the schools of fish and sea monsters that were attracted by her movement, silently calculating the time it would take for the soul-calling incense to take effect.
Normally, a complete set of soul-guiding incense can be effective for two hours.
It took her 25 minutes to wait for the side effect of the medicine to take effect, and it took her another 5 minutes to come out just now, which means there is still an hour and a half left... She has to appear in the ward again in an hour and a half.
When she was about to be bitten by a big fish, she tried "stimulation therapy", but it failed.
She couldn't wake up.
She was not sure whether this was due to the special suppression of the deep-sea dream or the effect of the soul-guiding incense, but she was inclined to the latter. After all, the effects of this potion in all aspects were too strong.
The moment the soul-calling incense lost its effect, she thought she could try to stimulate awakening. She guessed that with the strength of her spirit, as long as the distance was not too far, she could be pulled back to her body in an instant, but she was not sure if the "green light jellyfish" she attracted could do it.
Don't forget that the primary goal is to save people, she can't just think about herself.
Got to bring them back.
And those who are beyond help.
She looked ahead at the string of twitching jellyfish.
If you don't try, how can you say there is no hope...
He was a little smug about his own nobility, but soon Hitzfeld became bored.
This kind of journey is very novel at the beginning, because you can vaguely see the ruins of the town below through the fog in the air.
But she couldn't see clearly enough to appreciate the beautiful scenery. After a while, she got tired of it and even felt that this mechanical swimming was a waste of time.
She decided to take the initiative to seek change.
"The direction they are locked on is southeast...Although it is also the direction of the sea, there must be something special there."
This is obvious - because the most efficient way to get from here to the real ocean is to turn left in the air, which can probably save half the distance compared to the current route.
If you just want to jump into the sea, then just choose this path.
But they didn't, which means it's not just the ocean that attracts them. Perhaps the southeast cape hides a secret.
Confirming this, Hitzfeld began to speed up.
She swung her arms and shot out like an arrow. Soon she surpassed the leading troops and started moving towards the cape at full speed.
When she reached the place, she sank slowly, and without any warning her feet touched the ground - this should be the cliff at the southeast cape.
After stepping twice to get used to the solid feeling, Hitzfeld dispersed the surrounding fog and began to feel around and look around, looking for anywhere strange.
But everything works fine.
She felt that she was a little stupid - even if there was something wrong, she probably wouldn't be able to tell with her limited knowledge of the subject.
If only we could get Ms. Feti here too.
Having gained nothing, she simply lay down on the ground, calculating the time it would take to get back to the yard while waiting for the main force to catch up.
Soon, several green lights appeared in the mist above.
Hitzfeld was cheered up and his body rose up, just passing by a "crazy jellyfish" that was turning.
The fog almost came into close contact with her. The soul-guiding incense undoubtedly had an effect on it, but the result was not what she wanted.
The "Crazy Jellyfish" began to tremble and twitch even more crazily, and then exploded with a "bang!"
Hitzfeld's scalp tingled when he saw this.
This is why she has been avoiding getting too close to the "crazy jellyfish". The control of "summoning" over them is already too strong. The appearance of a second strong traction at this time may not be a good thing, as they are likely to not be able to withstand it.
The fog exploded, spreading a large patch of black fog in the air.
A group of small fish and krill swarmed in from all directions and swam around in the black fog.
Hitzfeld was even more numb—she could certainly tell they were eating.
This could have all been avoided...
