Section 1568 Monsters in the Mist
"Since he's in the black mist, what's going on with him now, does the black fog have any effect on him?" Froud asked.
If it can be determined that the black fog has an effect on Lisa's brother, then maybe the effect of the black fog can be reversed. This was what Froude had in mind.
Ingres mused, "Something is wrong with him, as far as I can see, his eyes are dull, he seems to have lost his mind, and he wanders inside like a walking corpse. But no matter how you wander, you will never leave the range of the black fog. ”
Ingres's rhetoric is a representation obtained through observation. If you want to use this kind of rhetoric to judge what the black fog roughly does, it is not possible at present.
"In other words, can you observe the situation in the black fog?" Sanders: "Is there any other anomaly in the black fog other than Lisa's brother?
Angels: "There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in the black fog other than Lisa's brother. As for the source of the black fog, I didn't find out either. ”
Sanders pondered for a moment, and the information he had so far was roughly two. First of all, the specific effect of the black mist is unknown, but judging from the godless performance of Lisa's younger brother, there must be some effect.
Furthermore, the Black Fog is not under Angels' control, and based on this consideration, if it is not an invasion from the outside, then the Black Fog may be related to the power of escape.
Sanders: "Let's put aside the other questions for now, and now we need to determine whether this black fog has anything to do with the power that escapes?"
Because only if they were sure that the black fog and power were intrinsically linked, then their experiment with the Lucky Scroll would be considered a success.
But how do you determine the connection?
Froude suggested, "Why don't you take some people with you, go into the Black Mist Zone to find out the situation first." ”
At present, judging from the situation of Lisa's younger brother alone, it is difficult to judge the specific effect of the black mist, and if there is a control group, it is naturally easier to judge.
However, if you find someone to enter the black fog area, you can only determine what danger the black fog will cause to people, and it is still impossible to judge whether it is powerful or not.
However, after weighing up, Ingres decided to adopt Frog's suggestion first. Because if he wanted to determine whether it was power, he had to go to the black fog to see the situation himself. Although you can protect yourself with various defense scrolls, it's a good idea to check what effect the black mist will have on outsiders just in case.
An hour later, two blindfolded men stood next to Ingres.
These two people are sinners who escaped from the City of Beginners during this time, which means that they are self-exiled people.
Because they were all wandering in the endless wilderness, it took Ingres a lot of effort to find them and bring them here in a gondola.
After all, it was to be used for experimentation, and according to Ingres's personal standards, it was naturally this restless, unruly, and sinful person who was preferred. Nowadays, although there are also people in Chuxin City, there are also people who commit crimes, but after all, it is just a small fight, and it can be punished by the laws and regulations of Chuxin City.
After being exiled in the wilderness for so long, these two people finally understood that Chuxin City might be the only paradise in this world. Outside the city, there was no freedom they sought, and the boundless wilderness was an even greater cage.
They actually want to return to the City of the First Heart now.
Froude also grasped their thoughts, and used "giving them a chance to return to the City of the First Heart" as a bait, and made them take the initiative to agree to cooperate with this experiment.
The two of them entered the black fog one after another, the first one who entered without any means of defense, and the second person who entered the black fog area, Angell gave a defensive scroll as a means of protection.
As the two of them submerged into the black fog one after another, the experiment officially began.
Neither Sanders nor Fred could observe what was going on in the black fog, so they both looked at Angel.
Flot noticed that at first Ingres's expression was normal, but suddenly, as if he had discovered something, his brow furrowed, and then he did not relax until the end of the experiment.
And the result of the experiment that Flot observed was that neither of them came out of the black fog.
"What's going on inside?" Fred asked.
"It's a bit of a bad thing. Angel pinched his eyebrows, his expression a little ugly.
"Isn't that good? you mean, there's danger in the black fog?" asked Sanders as well.
"There is a danger indeed. Angel nodded, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "The situation inside is very complicated, I originally thought that there was nothing unusual in the black fog except for Brother Lisa. But I was wrong, there was still something in it. ”
Angel briefly recounted what happened after the control group entered the black fog zone.
This black fog seems to be very aggressive to the inhabitants of the dream world, and the black fog originally seemed to be relatively calm, but when the two of them entered it, some changes occurred.
A thick black mist began to rise, tumble, and coalesce.
Eventually, a variety of strange "creatures" were formed, which launched an attack on the inhabitants of the Dream Realm.
These "creatures" also have different means of attack, ranging from distance to melee combat, and the two dream dwellers tried their best to resist, but still failed.
Eventually, they were invaded by these creatures.
"What does that mean?" Froude wondered.
Angels: "Literally, the creatures that come together and end up invading the inhabitants of the dream world. As if possessed, those who are possessed by them will become like Lisa's brother, losing their minds and wandering around like a walking corpse. ”
"Won't the Defensive Scrolls defend against their attacks?" Frode remembered, one of them had given the Defensive Scroll.
"It can be defended, but those strange creatures inside are constantly generated, and under the siege of them together, the frequency and strength of the attack have exceeded the upper limit of the defensive leather scroll, and after the defensive leather scroll fails, the person is also possessed. Anglel paused: "However, because he has been holding on for a while, I have also observed something." ”
First, the man who did not have a defensive scroll, because he was possessed first, so Ingres noticed that after being possessed, he also began to attack the person who had the defensive scroll, until both of them were possessed, and then began to wander sluggishly. In other words, the three of them, including Lisa's younger brother, are not harmless, and they will take the initiative to attack the surrounding dream residents.
Second, after the Dream Residents enter the Black Mist Zone, Angel still has absolute control over them, and can banish them from the Dream Wilderness at any time through the power of the Gatekeeper.
This is important, Ingres intends to get up close and personal with the Black Mist, and if something happens, he can leave the Dream Wilderness at any time.
It's kind of a safety guarantee.
After listening to Angels's narration, Frode's expression was uneasy: "Is this really related to power? Could it be that it has been invaded by other dream creatures?"
Flot used to be a dream apprentice, although he didn't have much contact with dream creatures because of his strength, he read a lot of dream wizards' records and knew too much about dream creatures. Dream creatures are powerful and sometimes unreasonable.
Because the "dream" itself is unreasonable, just like when someone has a dream, he can turn into an invincible existence in the dream, which is an illogical conception. The same goes for dream creatures, their power is sometimes illogical and unreasonable.
Therefore, Frode was very worried that if the Dream Wilderness was invaded by dream creatures, it would be very troublesome. Perhaps, there is a possibility that the wilderness of dreams will be shattered.
Ingres closes his eyes and shifts the tentacles of perception from his personal perspective to the perspective of the entire wilderness of dreams. The Wilderness of Dreams was now in a dark void, and there was nothing else around.
After a while, Ingres opened his eyes and shook his head, "I don't feel any foreign invasion, I still think it may have something to do with the power of escape." ”
"I'm going to go in and take a look, and if the black fog has something to do with power, I should be able to feel it. ”
