Chapter 616: Golden Thread of the Void

This is a tall and lush silver banyan tree, with branches and leaves like a canopy, spreading out more than ten meters away.

Surrounding this tree, several wooden high ladders are connected back and forth, interlocking, and finally in the center of the tree, a delicate and widely distributed tree house is built at the branch.

Next to the tree house, a fluorite sign is hung on a slanting branch, and the fluorite emits a faint green light. On the surface of the fluorite, there is a row of black cursive characters, clearly writing the name of this tree house, the Fluorescent Hotel.

This hotel built on the silver banyan tree is Angel's first destination.

After they landed, the Dalmatian was still barking at the hotel.

"Will Nausicaa be here?" Shan frowned, looking at this hotel that was obviously very delicate, but for some reason it was quite gloomy at this time.

"I don't know, let's go in and take a look." Angel didn't know whether the Dalmatian was guiding them to find Nausicaa, but he had no other way. The sleepless city is hundreds of miles in size, and the buildings are widely distributed. It is too easy to hide a person, so for now we can only trust this spotted dog temporarily.

Along the wooden ladder, Angel and others walked to the door of the Firefly Hotel.

Before entering, the wooden door opened without wind, and countless parasites came out from inside. In an instant, the sky was densely covered with light spots like fireflies.

Seeing these parasites, Shan and Xiliu were scared to squat down.

After a while, the whizzing sound passed by their ears, and finally all the parasites in the door of the hotel left and successfully bypassed their position.

To be precise, they bypassed Angel.

"Why are there so many parasites here?" Shan stood up with a feeling of fear.

"Maybe, the nest is inside." Angel whispered, then strode forward and walked directly into the deep darkness.

Shan and Xiliu looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes. Angel only said that if you follow him, you will not be parasitized by parasites, but he did not say why.

There were few parasites before, and they hadn't felt them. But after this incident, they were inevitably filled with doubts.

How did Angel make these parasites avoid him? And it seemed that it was not Angel who drove away the parasites, but the parasites took the initiative to avoid Angel.

"It's really strange, he is so weird but doesn't want to say anything." Shan muttered secretly, and strode forward with Xiliu to follow Angel's footsteps.

As soon as he entered the tree house, Angel stopped.

Shan was behind him, and the darkness blocked her eyes. She could not see anything, but she could faintly hear a buzzing sound in her ears, which seemed to be the sound of insects.

Shan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after asking Angel's opinion, she released a light spell, which completely illuminated the tree house.

When the light spell rose, Shan was stunned.

Just in front of Angel, a huge nest was standing here, and the buzzing sound they heard was also made by unknown insects in the nest.

Shan shuddered and said tremblingly: "Angel, what kind of nest is this? Could it be those parasites?"

Angel nodded casually. There is actually a deeper connection between parasites and nests, but there is no need to explain.

He has seen this nest more than once, whether it is Night Demon City or Pocrates, so Angel did not feel too much fear in his heart.

Angel: "Shan, move the light source up a little, just above the nest."

He came here to find someone, and he was not interested in the nest of the colorful dragonfly. After a careful observation, Angel found that there seemed to be some movement in the dark above the nest.

Shan raised the light source fearfully.

Just at this time, a large number of dragonflies with colorful brilliance suddenly emerged from the nest. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of them. As soon as they appeared, they surrounded Angel and others.

The energy fluctuations on these dragonflies were all at the level of peak apprentices, so when hundreds of them appeared, Shan's face turned pale and her hands and feet became stiff. She was originally manipulating the movement of the light source, but now she stopped moving.

"What should we do now?" It was Xiliu who spoke. She performed better than Shan, but she still had a slight tremor when she spoke.

When Angel was about to answer, the colorful dragonflies suddenly emitted a series of strange emotional fluctuations.

In the perception of Shan and Xiliu, they could only detect that the emotions of these dragonflies were a little excited.

But in Angel's perception, he heard familiar praises, praising the queen, praising Sharapova, praising the brightness of the moonlight... even if there was no moonlight here.

The IQ of the colorful dragonflies is not high, which can be seen from the words of praise they sang.

"Don't pay attention to them. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack, they won't attack." Angel explained.

Sure enough, after a long time, those colorful dragonflies just released their excitement, but none of them moved, but kept circling around them.

"Shan, move the light source upwards." Time waits for no one, Angel reminded again.

At this moment, a scream came from above.

Shan quickly raised the light source, and as the light shone, she saw a woman with long green hair above the nest, her whole body suspended by golden threads, and the golden threads connected to the void behind her.

The scream was made by the woman. After the scream, the woman's face showed a desperate expression, the blue veins on her face faded, her eyes were pupilless, and were pure white. A mysterious energy was transmitted from the void to the woman's body through the golden threads.

And then...a wonderful mezzanine space began to spread rapidly with women as the center.

With the emergence of the mezzanine space, the woman's will was completely lost. When the mezzanine space covered the surrounding area for dozens of miles, it began to slowly shrink again, and finally merged into the woman's body.

When all this was completed, the woman was dragged into the void by the golden thread and disappeared.

At the same time, Angel felt that the mezzanine space in the center of Sleepless City was gradually merging with a new mezzanine space and slowly expanding...

"Let's go, Nausicaa is not here." Angel said coldly.

A puppet protoembryonic body was born under his eyes, and he witnessed with his own eyes the process of the protoembryonic body losing its will and becoming a container, which made him feel even more urgent, fearing that Nausicaa would not be able to hold on in the next second.

They immediately turned around and prepared to go to the next location.

As Angel turned around, the surrounding dragonflies immediately gave way to a path, seemingly as if they were sending Angel off.

Both Shan and Shiliu noticed this, but now was not the time to explore, so they quickly followed Angel. They knew very well that being able to avoid the attacks of parasites and dragonflies was definitely thanks to Angel, so they did not dare to stay away from Angel.

After leaving the Firefly Inn, Toby immediately transformed into a griffin and took them to the next location.

The Dalmatian seemed to understand what Angel meant, and started barking in the new direction.

In less than two minutes, Toby flew more than ten miles, and finally they stopped in a cemetery in the west area of ​​Sleepless City. This is a suburban cemetery, still within the realm of darkness.

The cemetery is surrounded by black iron railings. At first glance, it looks a bit like the cemetery Angel saw in Castle Black. But if you look closely, you will find that the interior of the cemetery is very clean and tidy, with no mass graves and no coffins dug out. The location of each tomb is well planned, and even the inscriptions have a strong craftsman style.

"This is the Rose Cemetery in a wealthy area. Those who can be buried here are not poor people. At least there are extraordinary people in their families." Shan said.

The group of them landed behind the cemetery. As Shan said, the iron fence at the edge of the cemetery was covered with thorns growing bright roses. There is no rotten smell in the air, but a rich dark fragrance.

But this faint fragrance made everyone present look a little bad. Because of this aroma that absorbs rotting corpses from the ground and blooms into gorgeous flowers, there is also a general name in the Southern Region: the fragrance of the dead.

There are some wizards with special hobbies who really like the fragrance made with this kind of dead man's incense. Not only is the fragrance more intense, but it also has a stronger effect on stimulating serotonin than similar flowers.

"Go in and take a look." Angel took the lead and walked into the cemetery.

Shan stepped forward with a look of doubt: "Angel, what happened to the woman tied up with the gold thread just now? Will Nausicaa be treated like this?"

"Yes, so we have to find Nausicaa and save her before she completely collapses." Seeing that Shan still had problems, Angel said, "Time is running out, don't waste any more."

Soon, they found their target in the cemetery.

In the center of the cemetery, there is still a nest of colorful dragonflies, and the people abducted by the Yorkshire terriers are suspended above the nest just like in the fluorescent hotel.

However, this time it is still not Nausicaa.

But it was Gan Ke, a person they were all familiar with.

Ganke was bound and pierced by the golden thread in the void, hanging in the air, roaring incessantly, his mask had been opened, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

"Due to some special reasons, Gan Ke not only has no desire, but also has extremely low reaction to emotions. But now that he is shedding tears of blood, it means that he has reached his limit!" Shan said to Angel with a look of horror on his face. .

Ganke seemed to be aware of his master's voice. He turned his head to look at Shan and whispered Shan's name.

"It's not parasitized!" Shan turned to Angel and said, "It still remembers me! How should we save it? It seems to be on the verge of collapse now!"

Angel knew from the beginning that these abducted people would not be parasitized. Because once the parasite is over, it is a difficult process to break down the parasite's psychological defenses due to the characteristics of the parasite.

Humans' psychological defenses are much weaker than those of parasites, so it is impossible for Yorkies to let them be parasitized.

Because of this, whether they can survive depends entirely on how strong their psychological defense is and how long they can persist in the process of transforming into protoembryonic bodies.
