Chapter 44 The Eternal Dream
The Rorsted Islands are the ruling fulcrum of the Kingdom of Loen in the Central Sonia Sea, and also the key diocese of the Church of Storms. A senior deacon who can participate in the Council of Cardinals has long been stationed here.
Of course, pirates at the level of a general may not be able to alert such a big man, let alone the so-called second mate and bosun, deacon Cordova Royer happily accepted the order, led two "punisher" teams, activated The sealed objects "2-37" and "2-166" are ambushed at a place far away from No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue, so as to be safe.
In Cordoba Royer's view, a "Punisher" team with two sealed items is enough to deal with the "Steel" group plus "Flame" Danitz, but the latter pays attention to the pursuers instead. The performance of his whereabouts made him a little worried, and he intuitively thought that there was a certain problem hidden, so he called another "punisher" team.
Actually, "2-37" is enough... While waiting, Cordoba Royer suddenly sighed.
In his opinion, this sealed item will be a nightmare for "steel" and "raging flames".
He closed his eyes, and the corresponding information naturally appeared in his mind:
"Number: 37."
"Name: Eternal Dream."
"Danger level: '2', dangerous, use with caution and with restraint, only actions of more than three people or deacons and bishops of the diocese can apply."
"Confidentiality level: bishop, team leader, and above."
"Sealing method: placed in boiling water."
"Description: It looks like a heart, dark black in color, cold to the touch, full of hollows, and often makes a bagpipe-like sound.
"This item comes from a primitive tribe in West Balam in the Southern Continent. They are led by spirit witches, and they live a life of resting during the day and moving at night.
"A Loen army conquered this tribe and obtained the object that was enshrined on the altar. In the following week, incidents of soldiers becoming abnormal, going crazy, and committing suicide occurred one after another.
"Studies have shown that as long as you touch this object, you will enter a long dream. If you are not awakened, you will stay in that illusory world forever, showing anxiety, fear, confusion and other emotions externally. Physiological state changes gradually.
"The researchers who were awakened still couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams for a long time, which led to a series of tragic events, including but not limited to, showing love to the boss, kissing the mouth of the poisonous snake, suffering from depression,
Taking off their clothes and running naked, trying to bathe in boiling water... If they are not transferred to another city, they will only go crazy or commit suicide.
"This item can be used to allow living creatures within the target range to enter the same dream... The user can select the target within a certain limit and exclude companions... The maximum range is 50 meters in radius, exceeding the radius will cause damage to the user A huge burden, leaving a strong mental trauma... The user will enter a state where he can't distinguish between reality and dreams afterwards, and he must leave the city where '2-37' is located in order to recover.
"Multiple instances (see Addendum) have shown that, even without contact, this item can widely affect surrounding populations unless it is placed in boiling hot water..."
"Appendix: 1. It is similar to the "Nightmare" effect of the Dark Night Path, but it is more prominent and uncontrollable.
"2. Example 1: A caretaker forgot to add charcoal, which caused the flame to go out and the temperature of the boiling water to drop. He soon had an abnormal behavior, suspected of dreaming about his beloved girl, and made an enthusiastic gesture to his glove. Confession, and attempt to have a super-friendship with it; Example 2..."
While his thoughts were spinning, Cordoba Royer suddenly saw "Blaze" Danitz, the fourth bosun of the "Golden Dream" who really came to this contact point and wanted to collect information.
He gestured to the "Punisher" team members next to him to open the golden box engraved with many symbols and magic marks, and take out the sealed item "2-37" soaked in boiling water.
This golden box is another sealed item, "2-166".
It can keep the internal items at the original temperature, and change the weather to a certain extent, making it rain "solar holy water".
Of course, it also has a great negative effect, otherwise the "punishers" would have used it to seal "2-37" long ago, instead of making a temporary trick. Among them, the most unacceptable thing is that no matter what item, as long as If you have been in contact with it for long enough, you will be infected with the characteristics of being alive, and devoutly believe in the "Eternal Blazing Sun". Inside the "Punisher", there have been tables that sing "Eternal Blazing Sun" every day. Every clock wants to light its own candle that purifies everything.
—The irascible "Punisher" turned the table into a pile of firewood, and it was the candle behind that lit it.
Seeing one after another of figures appearing and rushing into No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue, Cordova Royer pressed his right hand without hesitation, asking the team members beside him to activate the sealed item "2-37".
Imaginary fish scales appeared on the surface of the player's palm, and he directly grabbed a dark heart-like sealed item from the boiling water.
The melodious sound of bagpipes followed, and the dense night enveloped the house at No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue.
The scene before the eyes of the adventurer John Smith and others has not changed, it is still an empty living room without furniture and "Flame" Danitz in a black cloak, without the feeling of entering a dream.
They rushed over, shot hard, and used their abilities hard, successfully wounding "Lie Yan" and capturing the well-known pirate who had a bounty of 3,000 pounds and was involved in the "Death Key".
However, in the real world, they are doing high leg lifts in place, or stretching their arms like swimming, or making guns with their fingers, making bang bang bang sounds from their mouths.
"Action!" Cordova Royer left the hiding place first and rushed to the house at No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue. The "Punisher" team members in the rest of the place were divided into two groups and completed the siege from different positions.
Before Cordoba arrived, the living room was already brightly lit, as if a round of the sun was rising, and the holy and pure water droplets were like rain, falling down profusely. It was the sealed item "2-166" that was working.
Farther away, the flying carpet floated quietly and was covered by darkness. As soon as "Steel" Mevity and the others saw the "Punishers" appear, they knew that this was indeed a trap set by "Raging Flame" Danitz.
"This son of a bitch has turned to the Church of Storms!" Maveti growled wildly.
"Blood Thorn" Huntley glanced at the calm Squall, and sincerely praised:
"Fortunately, we were not careless."
"Actually, I didn't expect that stupid ass 'Laging Flame' Danitz would cooperate with the Church of Storms." Squall said calmly, "Perhaps, he was caught by the 'Punisher' long ago when he was injured, so he had to cooperate .”
They were about to leave when they suddenly saw something protruding from the shadows outside the house at No. 15 Xiangshu Avenue, sticking to the ground, and swimming away quickly.
"Flame!" "Steel" Maveti recalled the scene where the ambush failed.
"Danitz!" Huntley also recognized who this guy was trying to escape with his miraculous ability.
Squall was taken aback for a moment, then understood immediately:
"Either 'Raging Flame' Danis wanted to take this opportunity to escape from the control of the 'Punisher', or he had another trap to deal with us, but somehow provoked the 'Punisher', so he gave up decisively and ran away in a hurry."
"No matter what, this is an opportunity!" "Scarlet Thorn" Huntley glanced at the "Punisher" who had just rushed into the house and said, "As long as we seize the short few tens of seconds, we will be able to In front of the 'Punisher', kill or abduct 'Lie Yan'!"
"Steel" Maverick got excited, his eyes became extremely crazy.
After Squall nodded, he said to the other two Beyonders:
"You take my living corpses and puppets and guard this position. Once the 'Punisher' chases after me, let them create chaos and take the opportunity to escape!"
"Yes, boss." The two extraordinary pirates jumped off the "flying carpet" at the same time as the living corpses and puppets.
The peacock-blue carpet turned a corner, and chased in front of "Raging Flame" Danitz.
"You assist us and mainly guard against the surroundings. I'm worried that Danitz has other helpers." Squall seized the time and said to "Bloody Thorn" Huntley.
A smile appeared on Huntley's slightly pale face:
"it is good!"
Squall said no more, and nodded to "Steel" McVitie.
Relying on the condescending advantage, Mavity discerned the superfluous shadow with almost no abnormalities, and judged the direction of the target's wandering.
He jumped off the "flying carpet" suddenly, like a boulder, and fell heavily to the ground. The hoarfrost on the soles of his feet condensed, and the cold and transparent ice quickly spread to the side.
The black shadow was immediately frozen in the corner!
With a click, "Laging Flame" Danitz struggled to break free, and "grown" out of the shadow.
Huntley on the flying carpet dropped the things he had held in his palm well, which were green leaves, blossoming flowers and thorns.
The leaves, petals, and thorns either grew crazily, or connected together, clinging to and entwining "Flame" Danitz, making it impossible for him to move.
Squall took the opportunity to jump out of the flying carpet, and with the help of his fall, inserted the sharp scalpel in his right palm into Danitz's neck.
Puff!
Holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, he turned around and came to the back of the target.
Danitz's head fell off, and his body shrank rapidly, turning into a thin, tattered paper man.
At the same time, "Steel" Maveti felt an indescribably strong sense of hunger, and felt that it was quietly watching him like a terrifying monster lurking in the dark.
No, not "flames"! As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, a blazing fireball compressed to the extreme flew over from a certain roof and hit his body.
"Steel" Maveti only made one movement for this, and that was to raise his arms and block in front of him.
Boom!
The flames exploded, and the air waves flew across, blocking the sight of Squall and Huntley, but they were not panicked at all, and had strong confidence in "steel".
Sure enough, Maveti's clothes were broken and his skin had white marks, but he was not injured in any way.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a figure full of madness coming out of the tumbling fire waves in mid-air. He was clearly wearing the black cloak of "Raging Flame" Danitz, but he had neatly combed black hair. Emotional dark brown eyes, thin and hard face.
The Danitz just now has always been Klein the "Faceless Man" and Gehrman Sparrow who is ready to hunt!
