Roland swung his sword and wrote the universal aspirations of strength, agility and flight in the left column, followed by werewolves, rabid dogs and crows on the right.

Now there is no need for him to explain, and everyone understands.

The evil gods distort people's illusions based on the pressure of survival: those who desire to be strong are turned into werewolves by the evil gods, those who desire to be more agile are turned into rabid dogs, and those who desire to fly are turned into fat crows......

In this nightmare city, the evil god is the omnipotent creator, who can perfectly realize people's dreams, but instead of doing so, they partially realize people's dreams with an extremely sinister mentality.

Werewolves are indeed stronger than ordinary humans, rabid dogs are indeed dexterous and agile, crows can at least fly up to the second floor from the ground, and people's wishes seem to be fulfilled, but they pay a terrible price for this, losing the nature of human beings.

"According to your speculation, if a person comes to Akron and tries to survive, the more likely he is to lose his mind and become a madman, so what if he is not enterprising?" Lyudmila asked, "For those who don't have unrealistic desires such as becoming strong or flying in their minds, and who only think about eating and waiting for death all day long, isn't it impossible for the evil gods to transform them into madmen?" ”

"You're wrong, in Akron, it's a luxury to eat and die." Anthony replied coldly, "That kind of person will end worse than other fanatics, and will eventually become maggots in the gutter." ”

Lyudmila suddenly felt a chill and muttered to herself: "If this is the truth, the evil god who created Akron is too perverted!" ”

"This is just speculation, not necessarily the truth." Roland sighed with emotion, "In this ghost place, anything strange can happen, but there is no so-called truth." ”

Anthony touched his head and muttered with some fear: "Just now I tried to explore the truth of Akron with magic, but the moment I touched the truth, endless fantasies and incomprehensible knowledge poured into my brain, and after that, I only heard my head 'bang', and then I didn't know anything." ”

"Of course you won't know what's going on, mortals can't understand the crazy and twisted thoughts of the evil god, and your head will explode the moment you touch the evil god's will." Roland sighed and stood up with his hands on his knees, "It's not too early, we have to keep going." ”

"Let's go to Vault 13 first." Anthony also stood up, "Grofa, Audrey, and Holden are all in Vault 13, and seem to have accepted the commission of the Vault's owner, and are happily hunting down the fanatics, and the three siblings are really lucky compared to what happened to us. ”

"How do you know they're in Vault 13?" Lyudmila asked in surprise.

"Of course, thanks to 'Knowing the Legend,'" Anthony smiled and pointed to his forehead, "I can't die in vain." ”

"That's hard work, please lead the way." Lyudmila put away the "Buzzing Cannon" and replaced it with the "Bow of Silence", leaving only the last ammunition supply chain in the storage bag, which was to be saved for the critical moment.

In fact, Anthony only vaguely sensed the existence of "Vault 13" in Akron City, an important stronghold that almost all the "sober" were concentrated, and he did not know where Vault 13 was located in the city. Fortunately, there is also Jessica, who has followed her father to Vault 13 many times and is familiar with this path.

Roland and the three of them followed the direction Jessica had pointed out, and the initial part of the road was unexpectedly calm, in stark contrast to the frequent attacks of the fanatics before, so that everyone was a little uncomfortable.

"The streets of Akron are devoid of fanatics, and it feels weird......," Anthony said to himself, "and it is often said that the eve of a storm is the calmest, and I have a hunch that big trouble will follow." ”

"Your crow's beak is the big problem." Roland said angrily.

Lyudmila and Jessica glanced at each other, and there was a lingering sense of depression in their hearts, and they always felt that there was something unusual about their surroundings.

Anthony's premonition of "big trouble" has not arrived for a long time, and the reason for the unusual calm on the streets has been found. Continuing to walk a little further, Roland, the brightest of the four, found fresh dark green blood near a half-collapsed house. Lyudmila searched for the blood, pushed open the half-hidden door, and the dimly lit room was filled with a pungent smell of blood, and a corpse lay on its back on the floor of the entrance, with a brass bell hanging from its chest.

Lyudmila turned and beckoned to Roland, signaling that there was a situation.

Roland approached the corpse and leaned down to touch the brass bell, extracting 1 degree of potential from it. Although the deceased had been bombarded beyond sight by bullets, Roland was still able to determine the identity of the deceased based on his experience in collecting the "Maniac Emblem" along the way.

"It's the Holy Messenger of the Church of Fanatics who was shot in the head." Roland whispered.

Lyudmila shook her head, not fully agreeing with his judgment, and kicked the corpse over to observe its back, and sure enough, there was a round hole-like wound on the back that penetrated through the heart.

Lyudmila visually examined the diameter of the wound and said to Roland: "First he was shot head-on, but it was not fatal, and the deceased turned and fled into the house trying to hide, and was caught up and stabbed in the back - this is a fatal wound." ”

Roland knew that the skill of "autopsy" was far less professional than that of the ranger, so he accepted Lyudmila's opinion and deduced it: "Two men with muskets and spears cooperate with the holy messengers of the Cult of Hunting Maniacs...... If they weren't sober, they must be Zion brothers and sisters. ”

"Judging from the diameter of the wound, it looks more like Audrey's 'dragoon spear', and as for the shot in the face of the Holy Mind, it was most likely done by Holden's imp." Lyudmila made a clearer guess.

"It's not far from Vault 13, and Anthony said that the three Zion siblings have made contact with Master Holmonx, the leader of the Sober, and accepted his commission to hunt down the fanatic, and this corpse validates Anthony's prophecy, and if all goes well, we will soon be able to meet with Grospha." Roland said.

Lyudmila nodded and followed him out the door, continuing on the road with Anthony and Jessica. There are more and more corpses of the madmen along the way, and the time of death is getting closer and closer, which shows that the Zion brothers and sisters have been here not long ago, killing the entire street of maniacs.

Lyudmila inspected the corpses and confirmed that most of the fatal wounds were caused by spears, among which the more delicate ones were the wounds stabbed by the "dragoon spear", and many more corpses were pierced from the front chest to the back of a shocking hole, and the wounds still had a subtle residual divine energy, apparently the "holy spear" Messiah who died in Coropha.
