Chapter 686 Dance Hearing her companion's words, the woman in the light-colored long skirt looked serious: "I have similar feelings, but not as specific as you." The man in the dark grey suit calmed down initially, looked back and said: "Let's go to that place quickly. It looks like there are many anomalies here that are beyond our control." The woman in the light-colored long skirt nodded. The two men identified the direction, quickened their pace, and quickly left the intersection. ………… Lumian, wearing a golden straw hat, led Amandine, Robert and others and returned to the small square from the side of Saint-Sien Church. At this time, Camus saw figures wandering in the cemetery on the other side. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked intently, and found that they were pale skeletons covered with rags and human-shaped shadows made up of fine dust. Many upright tombstones had fallen to the ground, and many graves had suffered obvious damage.

"The dead are awakening?" Camus frowned slightly and asked Amandine who was standing in front of him, "Can the Dream Festival also awaken bones and ashes?" Whether dead or alive, we must celebrate the "Dream Festival"? Amandine nodded lightly: "Isn't this normal? The extraordinary power Robert obtained in the Dream Festival is from the path of the Corpse Collector, which belongs to the realm of the God of Death. This shows that the Dream Festival itself has this, uh, characteristic." At this point, Amandine was secretly pleased and proud that her knowledge in this area surpassed that of the senior patrol members, and she comforted Camus: "Don't worry, the skeletons and shadows in the cemetery are very peaceful, completely different from the humans in the Dream Festival. As long as you don't get close to them, you won't be attacked by them. They won't wander around, they will only wander around their own graves." “Of course they are peaceful.” Lumian, who was walking in the front, laughed and said, “They don’t have emotions or desires that need to be suppressed normally, so they won’t form any extreme projections in this dream.” Dead people don't have emotions! Of course, those who died with resentment and hatred are excluded, but those who can be buried in the cemetery attached to St. Sean Church must have been purified. "Your joke is not funny." Amandine wanted to comfort her silent fiancé, but she felt that she had just witnessed his ugly behavior and cooperated in killing his lover, so she did not seem to have the qualifications to do so. It would be quite hypocritical to say anything, so she had to talk to Louis Berry. She muttered in her heart: Humph, as a fiancée whose marriage was notarized in the church, it is my legitimate right to punish my fiancé's lover. It was just a little bit extreme. But facing that blasphemer, that devil who attacked minors, being a little extreme was a revelation from God to me! The more she thought about it, the more justified she felt. Lumian walked quickly along the shadows beside the road. He thought for a moment and said: "Will those killed in the 'Dream Festival' be awakened and become undead?" "Yes, but it takes a long time. I only encountered them at the end of the Dream Festival. They were very cold and aggressive." Amandine recalled. Ruiya took the opportunity to ask: "When will the 'Dream Festival' end?" Amandine replied, smiling: "Didn't you notice? The wall clocks and pocket watches here are still ticking. When it's almost dawn, the Dream Festival ends." "Is there any way to get out of the 'Dream Festival' early?" Lugano is concerned about this question. Amandine glanced at Robert, who remained silent: "No, I can't. Normally, I can get out of it by falling asleep in Tewanaku's house or being stimulated at the edge of the dream. But once the Dream Festival starts, I can only wait for it to end naturally." Lugano closed his mouth in disappointment and unconsciously took two steps closer to Lumian.

Camus looked at Amandine, who was walking briskly, and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Aren't you going back to Palm Manor to protect your parents? Aren't you worried that they'll die at the Dream Festival?" Amandine curled her lips and said with a slightly complicated smile: "During last year's Dream Festival, I rushed back to protect them. Unexpectedly, they had a very happy time and were not in any danger... "My mother likes to find the lowest, dirtiest but sturdiest slaves, and do it while scolding them. I don't know what kind of mentality this is, or where the repression comes from, but in this way, the male slaves will definitely not kill her, and the maids and slaves who are jealous of her and dissatisfied with her will be pinned down by the male slaves as soon as they get close to her and join them. "As for my father, he was awarded the Legion of Honor for his work in the Southern Continent. When he was awake, he was always afraid of being attacked by someone or encountering a slave riot. He built several bunkers in the manor and stored a lot of food and weapons. He also kept learning combat, shooting and military knowledge. Even during the Dream Festival, it was difficult for those servants and slaves to raid him. After breaking through one layer of defense, there was still another layer. At most, they could drive him into a bunker and hide him. "Unless there is an Beyonder who is their enemy and is rushing over to kill them, they are still very safe. If I stay in the manor to protect them, it might be more dangerous. Haha, I mean I am more dangerous. I can't bear the 'love' of those men and the jealousy of those women. I don't want to kill too many people." Hidden means that they are more afraid of feeling the hidden malice of their relatives and friends towards themselves in the "Dream Festival" environment where participants lose their self-control. They would rather wander outside and see the other side of others than go back to experience it? Lumian can roughly understand Amandine's mentality. He did not continue the topic, but turned his head to look at the silent Robert and said: "What are the differences between your experience of channeling at the Dream Festival and channeling at other times? "Will those spirits become more violent and more difficult to communicate with?" Robert had put on his white shirt and black trousers, and said in silence for a few seconds: "No different." Is it that the special dream that absorbs excessive emotions and desires only targets living things, and the spirits are usually in a state of little self-control, which makes the reality no different from the "Dream Festival", or is it that the spirit world here is fake, and the spirits are also fake, belonging to a part of the dream, coming from the cognition of some people, and completely fitting Robert's imagination, so he thinks the same? It should be the latter possibility. "Psychics" are not only able to establish connections with spirits in the surrounding area and borrow power from them. Robert didn't say that some spiritual communication cannot be completed in dreams... Lumian's thoughts were mixed, and he had some speculations. He led Camus and others through the intersection and quickly returned to the house in Tewanaku. He asked about the psychic situation because it was closely related to what he was going to do next! Standing on the second floor of "Siso's" house, Lumian said to Robert, who had a cold temperament and a slightly feminine appearance: "Have you ever completed a psychic session here?" "I've tried it, and I can establish a connection with the spirits around me, but it's nothing special." Robert answered truthfully. Amandine helpfully added: “He tried it in reality, in his dreams, and during the Dream Festival. "We are all very curious about the peculiarity of this place and want to find out the reason, but the spirits don't know anything about this." Lumian nodded, took out his gold-cased pocket watch, opened it and took a look, then said to Robert: "In two minutes, you will come up to me and help me complete the designated spiritual communication. You all can come up." Robert was slightly relieved to find that he was not facing it alone. On the third floor, in "Siso's" bedroom. Lumian opened his arms and once again began the Dancer's Dance of Recruitment. When he used the "Mystery Glasses" to observe this house in the real world before, he found that there was some kind of mysterious connection between this place and the black boulder. Just now, Father Kali said that the black boulder was actually an ancient tomb. It was the source of the extraordinary powers of him, Robert, Amandine and even "Siso" Tewanaco, and the source of the "Dream Festival". In this case, performing the "Dance of Recruiting" in the "Hiso" house is likely to attract some special, strange things that have a specific connection with the black tomb. Important information about the tomb or the corpse in the tomb may be obtained from these things. This is much safer than using the "Secret Glasses" directly, or performing the "Dance of Recruiting" after finding the black tomb. Moreover, Lumian had no intention of letting the summoned strange things directly attach themselves to himself. He asked Robert for help in order to make the spiritual communication safer and more effective. ——A "psychic" can communicate with spirits in a surrounding area or with spirits with specific directions and accurate descriptions. He cannot rely on the "Dance of Attraction" and the special features of the house to attract spirits from farther away and more hidden places like a "dancer". However, a "psychic" can use the power of spirits to achieve different supernatural effects and communicate with spirits in depth and detail, while a "dancer" can either only choose one trait or ability, or only gain a limited memory.

In the twisted, clanging, and bizarre dance moves, Lumian's spirituality combined with the unique power of the environment spread out in all directions. As the intense dance approached its climax, something finally diffused out from under "Siso's" house and condensed on the glass windows. The human-like shadow was wearing a black robe. This was somewhat similar to the gravekeeper Lumian had seen at the edge of his dream, but there were also differences. The face of the shadow hidden under the hood seemed to be looking at Lumian, as if it was eager to try, but it also sensed the seal of the "Fool" and the residual breath of the "Blood Emperor" and did not dare to really possess him. Lumian did not give any mandatory orders and continued to perform the "Dance of Recruiting" until Robert and the others came up. He slowed down his movements and slowly came to a stop. During this process, he pointed at the shadow in the black robe and said to Robert: "Take the time to channel it." Robert nodded slightly and took out a bottle of moon essential oil from the secret pocket of his clothes. (End of this chapter)
