Chapter 675: Bigger Trouble

Chapter 675 Bigger Trouble After hearing Father Kali's shout, Rhea raised her hunting bow and aimed the arrow wrapped with silver-white electric light at the clergyman in the dark and complicated robe. Unlike when she faced the cafe owner Bunia just now, the anger in her eyes was more obvious now, without the slightest hesitation. The priest is blaspheming and apostasy! At this moment, a slender and powerful hand appeared in front of Ruiya's hunting bow and blocked the arrow. "You..." Riya turned her head to look at Louis Berry, not understanding why he wanted to stop her. Lumian said calmly: "Look again." As the two talked, Father Cali smiled ostentatiously, turned around, held the holy book in his arms, and walked back to St. Sean's Church step by step. The golden dome at the top of the church and the statues and decorations on the outer walls seemed a little dim under the crimson moonlight.

When Father Kali disappeared from the open door of the church, Riya looked at Lumian with a gloomy expression and said: "why?" Lumian smiled: "After discovering that this place seemed like a dream, I have been thinking about a question." As he spoke, screams and shrill shouts rang out in Tizamo Town and the surrounding plantations, echoing in the dark night sky. "What's the problem?" Riya asked. Lumian did not answer but asked: “It is now almost certain that we are participating in the ‘Dream Festival’. "In this case, if you succeed in attacking Father Kali, what will happen when the Dream Festival ends and everyone wakes up?" Without waiting for Riya to answer, Lumian smiled again and said: "If he had been shot through the arm, he would have woken up with phantom pain in the same spot, like arthritis, with torn muscles; “If you hit him on the head with a hammer and knock him out, when he returns to reality, he will most likely have a headache, dizziness, and nervous twitching. “If you rape him and cause him to get pregnant, when he wakes up, he will most likely feel nauseous, have acid reflux, and be bloated, and feel like there might be a fetus in his stomach; "If you tie him up, give him electric shocks, and burn him with fire, will he feel that he is possessed by a ghost in the real world, and is always restrained, paralyzed, or in pain?" Riya listened calmly, not bothering to question why Father Kali was pregnant. The more she listened, the more frightened she became. Because the symptoms Louis Berry described after waking up from the dream basically match the various manifestations of mass hysteria in Tizamo Town collected by the patrol team! Lumian tilted his head, glanced at Riya, and asked with a smile: "If you had just shot Father Carli to death with an arrow, what would have happened when the dream faded?" "He will die immediately? No..." Riya denied herself. There has never been a case of many people suddenly dying in their sleep overnight in Tizamo Town. Ruiya immediately thought of an abnormal phenomenon here:

Eighty percent of Tizamo's annual deaths occur between mid-to-late December and mid-to-late March, with a mortality rate significantly higher than that of Paros and surrounding towns. Riya immediately changed her statement: "Will he gradually die in the next three months, irreversibly?" Lumian nodded slightly and said: “I even suspect that the primitive tribe in the jungle launched several attacks in the past three months mainly to kill those who died in their dreams, so that they would die in reality in a reasonable way and not expose any abnormalities. "The reason they only completed one attack between December last year and December this year is probably because that attack was very successful. All those who should have died died, and some who shouldn't have died also died. There was no need and no motivation to take the risk of coming to Tizamo Town again." Ruiya listened carefully, thought for a few seconds and said: "Which tribe is the source of the 'Dream Festival'?" "Possibly, more likely they are guarding or worshipping that source and taking corresponding actions based on the revelations," Lumian answered simply. Ruiya nodded slightly: "No wonder you stopped me from shooting Father Kali. The people of Tizamo Town should all be victims." This is why I didn’t fight back against the two attackers, but just killed the giant anaconda with one punch… When I wake up from the dream, will the giant anaconda crawl directly in front of me and die? If so, it will be a good treat for Ludwig… Lumian looked around the deserted square sleeping in the dark night and said: "Now go find Camus and see if he's still awake." ………… Tizamo Town, on the third floor of the police headquarters, there are five rooms and a bathroom here that belong to the patrol team: One room is used for daily office use, one is used for storing documents and items, and the remaining three are apartments for local patrol team members, one for each person. With the arrival of Camus and Kolobo, Meslo temporarily moved to Lobban's place, leaving a room specifically for his colleagues from Porto Paros. when!when!when! Camus suddenly woke up as the bells rang. He looked at the deep darkness and dim crimson moonlight outside the window, feeling dazed for a moment and not knowing what time it was. Camus was about to pick up his pocket watch to check the time when he suddenly realized that Kolobo, who was supposed to be sleeping on the makeshift bed, was missing. His nerves tensed, and with the help of the crimson moonlight, he quietly got out of bed and put his pocket watch and weapon back on his body. He moved step by step and walked out of the room. He felt that the corridor filled with darkness was extremely quiet, without a single sound. However, outside the police headquarters, in Tizamo Town and some places on several plantations, sharp screams and wailing shouts could be heard from time to time. As he walked, Camus, with the help of his familiarity as a "sheriff" with his "jurisdiction", noticed something unusual. He threw himself to the ground and rolled forward. There was a snapping sound, and the wooden door of a room that Camus was originally going to pass through suddenly broke in two and flew out. A huge sword slashed out from inside, carrying a fierce and violent sword wind, and slashed on the empty corridor. Camus turned his body while tumbling and saw who his attacker was. That was Luo Ban, a member of the patrol team who was over meters tall, with short light blond hair and light blue eyes. This Feysac man had a cruel smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with undisguised greed.

In an environment with only a little moonlight, his face was heavily shadowed, with an indescribable hideousness and evilness. When he saw Roban, two flashes of lightning flashed in Camus' eyes. "Spiritual Piercing"! Luo Ban then let out a scream, subconsciously dropped the huge sword in his hand, raised his palms and covered his head. Seizing this opportunity, Camus pulled out his enlarged-caliber revolver, half-crouched on the ground, and aimed at his teammate. Looking at Loban's familiar face twisted in pain, Camus hesitated, then lowered the gun without knowing what was going on. boom! A bullet fired and hit Loban's knee, causing blood and flesh to splatter and breaking bones. Such injuries can be cured by the "doctors" of the "Mother Earth" Church! Loban's body shook and he fell to the ground. He instinctively tried to curl up, but was unable to do so due to the pain in his knees. Camus lowered his revolver, stood up, and continued running to the end of the corridor. As he walked down the stairs, he passed a compartment where miscellaneous items were stored and heard slight noises coming from inside. Camus' heart moved, and he whispered: "Kolob, is that you?" After a brief silence of a few seconds in the compartment, Kolobo's panicked and terrified voice rang out: "Don't come over here! Don't come near! "Let me go please!" Camus frowned, feeling that Kolobo's mental state seemed a little abnormal. Although he was occasionally afraid of this and that, and after meeting Louis Berry, he often didn't even dare to open his eyes, but he had never behaved in such a hysterical way. He was the type of person who would force himself to complete things and make the right choices even though he was very scared. What happened to Kolobo? Camus wondered. Because he stopped where he was and didn't try to get closer, Kolobo in the utility compartment fell silent again, as if he wanted to use this method to show that he didn't exist. After more than ten seconds, Camus was ready to confirm Kolobo's situation. If he thought the problem was serious, he would evacuate here and look for Louis Berry. Suddenly, he heard two footsteps approaching quickly from below. Camus suddenly turned his body sideways and aimed his revolver at the stairs below. Then he saw Louis Berry wearing a golden straw hat and Rhea holding a hunting bow and arrow. Looking at the thick black muzzle, Lumian laughed and said calmly: "Welcome to the 'Dream Festival'." "Dream Festival"... Is it the "Dream Festival" now? Camus instantly understood the current state of teammates such as Roban and Kolobo. He looked at Louis Berry with a smile on his face and Riya with a solemn expression in confusion, and asked in a deep voice: "Why do we stay awake?" He basically judged from Louis Berry and Riya's performance that they were not dominated by extreme emotions and desires, but they never put down the revolvers in their hands. "Maybe it's because we slept in the house in Tewanaku and entered this special dream in advance." Lumian simply stated his speculation. Rhea took the opportunity to tell Camus her speculation that what happened in her dream might reflect reality to a certain extent. Camus first felt lucky that he didn't blow off Loban's head with a single shot, then he said solemnly: "There are more than three Beyonders in Tizamo Town. If we keep thinking that we can't kill them when they attack us, it will seriously affect our combat performance." Lumian smiled: "Who said you can't kill?

"If they really endanger me, anyone can be killed." Riya and Camus were silent for a moment. After a few seconds, Camus nodded and pointed to the utility compartment at the corner of the stairs. "Kolob's extreme behavior is fear. It won't harm us. Let him hide here and don't disturb him." As soon as Riya expressed her agreement, Lumian's expression suddenly changed slightly. He asked: "Kolob is also in this dream?" Kolobo, who had been in Tizamo Town for less than a week like me, was also forced to participate in the "Dream Festival"? "Yes." Camus asked doubtfully, "What's the problem with this?" Lumian said with a gloomy expression: "It means there could be a bigger problem." That might be even scarier than the Dream Festival itself! Without waiting for Camus and Ria to ask further questions, Lumian said directly: "You guys wait for me here." Before he finished speaking, he had already used the "Spirit World Shuttle" and disappeared into the stairs. Lumian's figure then appeared on the second floor of the Briou Hotel, outside the door of his suite. The next second, he heard a scream filled with pain and terror. That’s from Lugano.
