Chapter 1127: "Nightmare Capital" Akron
A "microcosm", as the most terrifying hypnotic ability in the world, has another perversion - it cannot be exempted! Even if a person's mind is as strong as steel, once he hits the "microcosm", he cannot escape with his own willpower alone.
Fantasy is something more addictive than drugs, a person will always have all kinds of unsatisfactory things in reality, and only in the dreams he weaves can he have a chance to make up for regrets, and this is the terrible thing about the "microcosm".
Roland also has a psychological weakness, he was dragged into the "microcosm" unexpectedly, and the reason why he was able to get away with it was that he had to thank the artifact of "Black King Armor" for opening the "spiritual barrier" in time to resist the "microcosm" eroding his will. It was under the constant warning of the "Psychic Barrier" that Roland was able to perceive the headache caused by the stabbing of the Brain Sucking Monster, and finally defeated the illusion and successfully sobered up.
Thankfully, Roland remembered his lost companions, and if they also encountered the nuns who rang the bells, except for Colossa, the others probably had no chance to escape from the "microcosm", and they must be found as soon as possible......
Thinking of Colossa, Roland realized that he was alone in a strange and dark street, and Colossa did not know where to teleport.
Roland looked around at the dark and strange-shaped buildings, and looked up at the thick fog in the night sky, as well as the blood-colored crescent moon looming behind the fog, and a question arose in his heart:
"Is this Akron? It looks ghostly, but it doesn't look like the legendary fantasy city full of gold and hospitality......"
In any case, Roland barely suppressed his uneasiness and walked along the endless street.
As soon as I took a step, a system prompt immediately flashed in my mind:
Enter the chaotic evil half-plane "Nightmare City" Akron!
- Order and Kindness faction creatures are suppressed by the laws of the plane, and all tests based on intelligence, perception, and charisma are forced to -2!
"Plane Law Suppression...... I'm really afraid of something. ”
Roland tugged at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly had the urge to greet the women of the author's family of "Double Dreams". Akron is obviously a "nightmare city", but in his pen it has become a "dream city", and the difference between heaven and hell is in this word!
In such a strange place, Roland didn't want to stay for a minute, but he hadn't found a way out of this nightmare city, let alone his lost companions. He stopped and tried to contact Gorofa using the "telepathic connection", only to receive a system prompt that disappointed him:
The "dreams" of the evil gods greatly weaken your telepathy, and you can't get in touch with your companions who are too far away.
Roland sighed, and had to take one step at a time, trying to find the lost partner in the most primitive way, hoping that they were all well......
The streets of Akron are paved with black bricks of unknown material, which look like solidified asphalt. On both sides of the street are brick and stone buildings, with strange architectural styles, including Gothic towers, oriental gardens, and more buildings showing irregular geometric shapes, and there are no doors, windows and stairs in the usual sense.
The strangeness of Akron is not only reflected in the chaotic architectural style, Roland walked along the street for about ten minutes, did not meet a single pedestrian, and the roadside buildings were also dead and silent, mostly showing the atmosphere of ruins in disrepair, without a trace of life.
"Could it be that all the inhabitants of Akron have left the city, or are all dead, leaving only an empty city?" Roland secretly guessed.
Turning a corner, he realized that his suspicions were not true, and that the inhabitants of Akron were indeed very sparse, but humans could occasionally be seen on the streets...... However, the guy standing on the bridge with his back to him was really human?
Roland walked lightly up the stairs leading to the bridge, and glanced down at the railing, where there was neither running water nor the sound of water to be heard, only a hazy mist floating above the river.
Roland withdrew his gaze and looked at the man who was looking away from the railing with his back to him. Judging by his size, he was a tall man who seemed to be meditating by the river. The other party was dressed in a very different style from Varess, and looked quite similar to the popular styles on the planet: canvas jeans on the bottom, a blue jacket on the top, and a large hiking bag on his back, and a cylindrical container in the side pocket of the backpack, which looked more and more like a stainless steel thermos cup.
"Hey, friend, can you excuse me?" Roland greeted him in the lingua franca of Vares.
The man moved his neck slightly, as if glancing back and turning back. The shadow cast by the hood of the jacket obscured his face, and Roland did not see his appearance clearly, so he approached him and continued to greet him, but received no response.
Stopping five feet behind the man, Roland opened the "Pupil of Destiny", and the system reminded him that he was a "traveler from another world", who was "bathing in the red moon of Akron" and "touching the source of nightmares......
What the hell is this?!
Roland has been getting the system for more than three years, and he also knows that the so-called "game system" is just an interface, in fact, the goddess of fate Sindra tailor-made for him "information service terminal", whenever he opens the "pupil of fate", it is like entering a keyword to search for relevant information in the knowledge database of the goddess of fate, to put it bluntly, it is the same thing as earthlings using Google or Baidu to search for answers, but Sindra's knowledge base is larger than the database of any search engine, and there are almost no people and things she doesn't know, then correspondingly, Roland, who has mastered the search terminal, can also share the knowledge of the goddess sister and solve the mystery in time.
But since coming to Akron, the "City of Nightmares", the information search service provided by the goddess's sister has become more and more unreliable, and many things can't be queried at all, just a general answer with "the power of the evil god distorts XXX" or "deep contact with XX will cause damage to the mind", and now it is even more unreliable, and the answer given is as inexplicable as this city, and there is no logic at all.
Roland was vaguely concerned that the signs of anomalies were either signs of a system breakdown, or that his own spirit was collapsing, unwittingly losing his ability to make rational judgment and logical reasoning.
Whichever is the correct answer, it's not good news.
