Chapter 223 222. The Figure Under the Tree of Death

Horus walked forward carefully, then looked down at the cross section of the tree trunk, which was rotten and had a trace of pus.

In an instant, Horus saw that the cross section collapsed piece by piece like a building block, as if there was a bottomless pit underneath.

Horus quickly stepped back a few steps.

Just a few seconds later, the tree of death seemed to turn into ashes and disappeared completely.

Only a collapsed hole was left.

Horus paused for a while, then stepped forward to observe carefully.

It was pitch black below, a little steep, and it was unknown how deep it was. This seemed to be the passage to leave.

In just a few seconds, Horus stepped forward, stepped on the more stable place at the edge of the collapsed hole, and then slowly walked down.

The darkness enveloped him, and Horus's vision was affected. In just an instant, he found that his surroundings seemed to be brighter.

It was like he returned to the outside from the collapsed hole. That change gave Horus a little vision again.

Horus also found that he seemed to have returned to the place where he stood before, and then he turned his head to look behind.

He only found that the tree of death still existed, and it was no longer the same as before when he cut it down. For a moment, Horus felt a little palpitation.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had been deceived?

Before he could carefully sort out the secret, the tree of death changed, gradually withered, and finally weathered and rotted.

And where the roots of the tree were originally buried, a piece of loosened soil appeared, and a wisp of white appeared, which looked like a human finger bone.

Horus was shocked.

He seemed to hear a rustling sound, and then the soil was dug up at a very fast speed. A figure suddenly stood up and looked at him strangely.

Horus noticed the other person's face. On his pale and wrinkled face, there were tears of blood, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if with a hint of inexplicable meaning, and the gaps between his old yellow teeth were oozing dark red blood.

Horus looked a little solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Rom!"

In just a moment, the scene suddenly changed, just like a sudden change on the movie screen, and the weird and depressing scene suddenly disappeared.

The tree of death no longer exists, and no new caves have appeared.

"What is illusory?" Horus whispered softly.

...

In the dark fog, Horus walked slowly towards the foot of the mountain.

The bright red was gone, as if the village had disappeared, or had never appeared.

Slowly, slowly, Horus kept walking towards the distance, and he found that he had really left the area of ​​​​Dirafi Peak.

The night was still long, Horus hurriedly walked for another hour, completely away from Dirafi Peak, and then prepared to find a cave to spend the night safely.

The nearly closed cave only left some vents. On the piled branches, the fire burned slowly, and some sparks kept jumping.

At this time, Horus finally breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against the cave wall, slightly closed his eyes, felt the orange on his eyelids, and his heart warmed up.

He needed to recall his recent experience, and then reflect on it, find out his shortcomings and lessons learned, and avoid making the same mistake again next time.

First of all, all this originated from his curiosity about the Dark Plateau.

Horus actually had no goal, but just planned to slowly get in touch with this world during the journey and adapt himself to this different world.

So he came to the Dark Plateau, but he came here unknowingly, where everything began.

Now think about it, Horus always feels a little weird. The first thing that happened after he came to Yuri was about him, or about his life experience.

This is obviously not as simple as an accident.

And what happened after that made Horus completely vigilant.

Everyone is not as simple as the surface. Maybe under the face of the kind old man is a face of a demon.

Romtz, Lime... even "White Rose of Betrayal", Horus doesn't know which one is right, the so-called truth may be false from the beginning.

He was indeed somewhat curious about this. At least one thing was that he felt that he must have something to do with Ossannie, or with those people, otherwise he, who was just an ordinary person, would not have been so calculated.

And he also became a "psychic" in this incident, which was something he was happy about, but the process was a bit painful.

He felt that the real reason for his loss of control was that he seemed to have not completely mastered the power of the "gravekeeper" before he took Rom's special substance.

Apart from this tortuous process, he gained two abilities, "psychic" and "detention".

He began to analyze the two abilities carefully.

The first one, "psychic", is definitely an effective way to obtain secrets.

Thinking of this, Horus's face was a little strange, as if he had been paying attention to the so-called secrets.

Shaking off this thought, Horus continued to check the introduction of "psychic".

The most intuitive understanding of ordinary people about "psychics" is the spiritual communication of souls and bodies.

In addition, there is the spiritual communication of dead things, but this kind of communication has a high probability of provoking unknown or evil beings.

But no matter which aspect, "spiritual communication" is extremely dangerous. Facing a being higher than oneself, it will only make oneself die faster.

As for "detention", it is the only means for "spiritual communicators" to restrain dark creatures, but it can only restrain them and does not have the means of attack.

Thinking of this, Horus shook his head. He was still weak for the time being, and he felt it was time to prepare some means.

Like buying a handgun?

After getting familiar with his abilities, Horus thought of the biggest gain this time, which was the "Dream Weaver".

No matter whether the other party has the idea of ​​using Horus or not, for the time being, it is the guarantee that Horus can survive in this strange and turbulent world.

So Horus was not dissatisfied.

But he was also guessing about the identity of the other party. According to the orthodox churches, except for some orthodox gods, all other gods were evil gods.

However, Horus was not prejudiced against this, because he fully understood the truth that history always belongs to the victor.

Although the hall was a little darker, there was still a sea of ​​stars, and it looked very real.

If there is a real evil god, he may create the illusion of being bright and upright. Of course, it is not ruled out that the "Dream Weaver" can use their ideas in turn.

But Horus still had a lot of trust in his own vision. He might not be able to see through cunning and insidious people, but it was easier for a superior existence like the gods to judge through some words.

As for the analysis of "Dream Weaver", Horus got a result. The other party should not be those evil gods, and he has no idea of ​​destroying the world at every turn.

But Horus was still a little confused about His behavior. What was the purpose of selecting some people and forming an organization?

If they were evil gods, they could be forced to accept them as followers and use them as cannon fodder. Many church scriptures have said this, and they do not lack this method.

Could it be that the "Dream Weavers" are not villains, intending to overthrow the True God Church and gain faith... but to save the sentient beings who are being herded... So they are the chosen saviors, so they need to be tempered... Horus' mind suddenly appeared A bold idea.

Of course, there is no reason for this. He just came up with it when his thinking was divergent.

He just wanted to find an excuse for himself. What he joined was definitely not a villain organization, absolutely not.

Even a villain organization can be forcibly corrected.

Thinking of the last one, Horus felt that there was still a long way to go, and said softly: "Chaldean order, it is said that those who come from Chaldea are saviors, so we are the saviors."

After forcibly convincing himself, Horus thought of the other four members, and their intersection would happen soon.

He likes this model of "equivalent exchange". Of course, it would be even better if he could do it for free.

Then it should be possible to trade the most basic knowledge about transcendence from them... Horus suddenly thought.

This is what he needs most. Having experienced losing control, he can definitely imagine that if he continues to grope alone, he will most likely die earlier.

He does not think that he is the protagonist and can turn danger into good fortune. The most important thing is to have the experience and teachings of his predecessors.

Compared to the gatherings he had tried to join, he felt that the Chaldean order was more reliable, after all, he was one of his own!

At that time, he had no money, and Horus was wary of those who did not dare to show their faces, so he never revealed that he was a newcomer.

Thinking of this sad experience, Horus couldn't help but feel that he had suddenly fallen from the sky, from a small and dilapidated company to one of the world's top companies.

Although it seems that it cannot be known to anyone casually, it is still a place to go.

Turning his attention back to "Dream Weaver", Horus felt that he still needed to get to know him better. After all, he was his most immediate superior.

And if he wants to become the second-in-command, he must at least not disobey the other party. However, Horus was a little lucky. The other party should be as he said, regardless of the development of the Chaldean order. For the time being, he didn't have to worry too much about the other party asking them to do something difficult.

Then the gods all have their own authority. The "Eternal Radiance Blazing Sun" should control the ability of the sun, and the goddess of the night should be the night... So what is the "Dream Weaver"... What he said should not be that simple... ...weaving history, weaving dreams...could it be a dream...or...time...

Time... Horus was a little shocked when he thought of this. Compared to the sun and night, he felt that time was more mysterious and terrifying.

And he immediately noticed one thing, that is, he had spent at least several minutes in the hall, but it should not have been long after he returned to reality.

No, dreams may also have corresponding effects...

Horus shook his head. Maybe it was just an illusion of his brain, rather than a real change in time.
