Chapter 168 The Unlucky Anderson
After recognizing who the leader on the mural was, Klein subconsciously suspected that it was the content of his dream.
However, he quickly rejected this idea, because the unlucky Anderson was not anyone he knew, nor was he someone who had left an impression on him, and it was most likely not an extension of his dream.
And Anderson clearly stated that he became unlucky because he saw the mural, and he was in a state of strong connection with the mural, so this is part of his dream!
Concentrating his mind and looking carefully, Klein quickly discovered that there are several differences between the murals here and the murals that the little "Sun" saw in the abandoned temple of the "True Creator":
The background here is the sea burning with golden flames, and the previous one was a barren and dead plain;
The destination here is the depths of the sea, the previous one was a high mountain in the distance, and there was a huge cross and an upside-down person on the top of the mountain;
Here, the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroreus has black mud on the soles of his feet and fish inserted into it with his head down. The previous pair was a meandering and circulating river.
It's not the same mural, it's closer to the records of different stages of a pilgrimage... Klein nodded with some guesswork.
Such a scene has emerged in his mind:
A long time ago, in a certain period of the Fourth Epoch, Ouroreus the Tail Swallower led a team of devout pilgrims or the remaining believers of the "True Creator", and was chased by many powerful enemies. this sea area;
For some reason, He gave up the ship, relied on the help of the "True Creator" or his own strength, directly separated the sea, led the pious through here, entered the "Land Abandoned by God", and kept the "Rose of Redemption", " The kindling of organizations such as the Aurora Society;
In the "Land Abandoned by the Gods", they crossed the barren plains and built temples on the way of "pilgrimage", which is the kind that the little "sun" they discovered later.
Judging from the fact that "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin was forced to restart the cycle and turned into an embryo, "Tail Swallower" should still be alive... Does this mean that he led those "pilgrims" to finally reach their destination— —The Sanctuary of the "True Creator"? Does this mean that the sanctuary of the "True Creator" is somewhere in the "Land Abandoned by God"? Thinking of this, Klein suddenly felt some inexplicable feelings:
If my guess is right, it means that no matter how the "City of Silver" saves itself and passes on the torch, when the "True Creator" fully wakes up or returns to normal, they will inevitably perish!
When you are very close to the kingdom and sanctuary of evil gods,
Whether you exist or not has nothing to do with your own efforts!
It's like the foam stirred up by the rush of sea water. When the wave passes, it will disappear.
The human race and human civilization are so fragile under the gaze of evil gods.
"No, you can't be so pessimistic. I was just guessing just now. Maybe it wasn't Ouroreus who reincarnated Will Auceptin, the chairman of the life school. Maybe the 'True Creator' is not so easy to recover or wake up. He may Bearing the seal of the Seven Gods...
"So, the City of Silver still has a chance to open up the road between the 'Land Abandoned by the Gods' and the outside world before the evil god breaks free! This is probably why the chief of the City of Silver wanted to release the elders of the 'Shepherd'. They must use Every ounce of power that can be used..." Klein forcibly withdrew his thoughts.
He was a little worried right away, afraid that he who came here would have fallen into the "cycle of fate" created by "Tail Swallower".
At this moment, he instinctively wanted to take four steps backwards, enter above the gray mist, and forcibly retrieve the memories that might have been erased, but in the end, he suppressed this urge, and prepared to observe first before saying:
From the perspective of interpreting symbols, there is no circular river here, only black mud with fish inserted upside down, which means that there is no cycle of fate, only the entanglement of bad luck!
This fits with Anderson's words!
"As the king of angels, Ouroreus certainly doesn't have only one trick of 'Fate Cycle', it is completely logical to use different abilities for different murals in different temples... Besides, this is a dream!
"Also, even if I didn't do anything, and really fell into a loop, I kept repeating the experience of talking to the 'Admiral of the Stars' until I planned to observe and observe. When next Monday comes, the problem can be solved. At that time, The Tarot Society will definitely not be able to be held as scheduled, Miss 'Justice' and the others will definitely pray in doubt, and I can use this to retrieve my memory..." Klein suddenly gained confidence, and the panic and tension in his heart did not disappear. , is hidden deep inside him.
He raised his head and looked forward, and found that the hall was very deep, with no end in sight at a glance, and the light from outside the door was only limited to the area that came in, and the other places were quite dark. I can vaguely see wooden doors on both sides, but I don't know where they lead.
Looking at this deep and dark scene, Klein's desire to continue exploring dropped to the minimum:
"I have encountered the murals left by the King of Angels here. Who knows what will happen if I go deeper and enter other rooms..."
Fear of the unknown is an extremely ancient emotion. It can be predicted that it is very dangerous, but the source of the danger is unknown. It is the unknown that can bring the strongest fear. Klein examined himself for a few seconds and stopped moving forward.
He turned to Anderson, who was splitting the giant log with an axe:
"Why are you here?"
Anderson looked up at him and sneered:
"I'm a treasure hunter.
"What do you think I'm here for?"
Treasure hunter... Klein asked casually:
"Is there a treasure here?"
Anderson continued to bury himself in the so-called canoe, and his voice suddenly became low:
"This sea is full of treasures.
"As long as you can get it successfully, get out alive."
This is true... But the problem is that if you are not a demigod, it will be very dangerous here, and a demigod is even more dangerous here... Klein looked into the depths of the hall and said:
"Do you know what's in there?"
Anderson followed his gaze and glanced:
"do not know.
"At least a third of my companions formed a team, explored there, and never came back."
"Do you mean the real world, or the dream world?" Klein asked thoughtfully.
boom!
After the ax fell, Anderson smiled and said:
"Of course the real world.
"The other one-third of my companions who explored forward in the dream didn't come back either."
... Klein took a breath, thought for a while and said:
"What about their real-world bodies?"
"It mutated into a monster and killed many companions." Anderson pulled out the ax and slashed down hard.
when!
In the crisp sound, his ax shattered into two pieces, and because the fracture was near the back, the pieces shot to his body.
Bright red blood flowed out of Anderson's right chest and abdomen immediately, gurgling like a spring.
He covered a wound with his left hand, raised his head, looked at Klein, and said with a bitter smile:
"As I said, I've been plagued by bad luck ever since I saw that mural.
"Fortunately, it's not too bad luck, at least they didn't ruin my ordinary handsome face."
...how do these two adjectives fit together? Klein watched Anderson quickly take out the fragments, treat the wound, and take the medicine. He found that he was emotionally stable and skillful, and seemed to be used to it.
Klein put one hand in his pocket, played with the coins inside, and asked after deliberation:
"When your companion started exploring, did you and the rest stay in place to study the murals?"
Anderson froze for a moment, tied the medicine skin back to his belt, wiped his mouth and said:
"Do not.
"I belong to the third that explores forward."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth opened a little bit, revealing a warm smile.
This... Klein shrank his pupils, arched his back slightly, and raised his left palm.
At this moment, the dazzling sunlight shines, everything is bright white at first, then fades and disappears.
Klein naturally opened his eyes, and found that the outside had returned to the noon state.
He took out his gold case pocket watch, opened it and took a look:
"It's only been half an hour, this night is a bit short...
"The unlucky Anderson just now looked normal, but I didn't expect it to be so scary!"
After turning over and getting out of bed, Klein suddenly remembered one thing, that is, "Snake of Destiny" Will Auceptin hasn't "replyed" yet!
Because everyone's dreams were pulled into that world and not connected to the spirit world, so he couldn't locate it? Or, he sensed the breath of "Tail Swallower" Ouroreus, and didn't dare to approach? Or, is there something wrong with the sea itself? While thinking about it, Klein decided to verify it.
As for how to verify, the method is very simple, that is to take advantage of the "noon" and go back to sleep again.
However, he was in no hurry to do so, because he didn't know if there was a taboo here about not being able to sleep during the day.
Putting on his peaked cap, Klein went outside the captain's room and knocked on the door with his fingers.
After three beeps, he withdrew his hand and waited patiently.
Not long after, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya opened the door.
The confusion in her dream was gone from her face, and her thick glasses were put back on.
"Can I sleep during the day?" Klein asked bluntly.
Cattleya nodded:
"Can."
After answering, she hesitated and said:
"In the dream just now, you seem to be very active?"
Thinking of the danger hidden in this sea area, and thinking that he might be forced to show something in the future, Klein decided to take the initiative to lay the groundwork.
He looked at Cattleya, smiled politely and said:
"Yes.
"This is a gift from my Lord."
My lord... Cattleya's gaze under the cover of her thick glasses flickered obviously.
She frowned in a rare way, and then spread it out without asking further questions.
Klein thought for a while and added:
"Be careful of Heath Doyle."
Cattleya obviously understood what he meant, and replied directly:
"Don't worry, he has a sealed item, the negative effect makes him only hear the sound from a very close source."
This is a clever use of negative effects... Klein stopped talking, took off his hat and saluted, turned and left, and walked back to the room.
He lay down again and fell asleep meditating once more.
In the dream world, he woke up and saw the familiar dark wasteland and dark spire.
Phew, it's okay, I was able to get in touch... Klein heaved a sigh of relief, and walked all the way to the tower, where he saw scattered Tarot cards and new handwriting in the old place:
"There are many dangers out there, but the most dangerous are the dreams that come after night.
"It doesn't mean that it will disappear if you don't sleep, but you must remember one thing:
"Don't explore that dream!
"Definitely don't explore that dreamland!
"Because there is not enough space here, I will not explain the reason. Well, just kidding, the reason is that there are some dreams left by some gods."
