old dream

Chapter 124 Illusion and Ending

Aresio's body fell down, and Julio stood there silently with his head bowed.

Colin hurried to the other end of the carriage, squatted down and gave Giovanni an emergency injection of the inhibitor.

Because of the severing of the Lingsu connection, the grass blades wrapped around his body have dissolved into black juice.One part fell directly to the ground, and the other part was mixed with blood, gurgling from the cut of his right arm.

The scales began to peel off, revealing the mottled wounds on his body.

Unlike other monsters, at least for now, Giovanni's body has not collapsed into a jelly-like shape.

He has retained consciousness even while fighting Aresio.

Perhaps it was just that the forces deep in his being were already too weak, so when they gushed out unhindered, they appeared gentle and failed to damage his body.

Giovanni looked indifferently at the receding night outside the car window, as if he didn't feel the pain caused by the deformation of his body at all.

"A year ago, I started thinking that killing people was a fun thing to do."

He said dumbly.

Because only cannibalism can bring him some excitement.

"But now that even Arecio is dead, I don't feel anything."

Killing an old friend can no longer bring a trace of sadness to the heart.

"Little devil."

Giovanni said to Colin who was treating his wound:
"When you find out that there is a price, you may not feel the pain of it anymore."

So it can be said that this matter has no cost.But that doesn't mean you can continue to rely on those stimuli.

Or, any sorcery that fuels the abundance of life.

……

……

The train entered the station ten minutes later, but the people at the station found that there were no passengers on it for a long time.

While lamenting that the railway was in decline, a train operator opened the door of the carriage, only to see thick blood dripping down the floor.

The poor man immediately covered his mouth to keep himself from screaming.

At this time, people outside also noticed something strange, the whole train was only half left, and the middle section of the carriage was cut off by people.

The police detectives will come soon, but tonight's tragedy is destined not to be published in any newspaper in Stade.

And just a few minutes ago, on the section where the train started to slow down, Colin had jumped off the train with Giulio and Giovanni.

Giovanni, who was seriously injured, was carried by the shuttle demon and fell to the ground, causing him no further harm.

Also brought down was the body of Aresio.

Fortunately, there are undeveloped swamps nearby, and alligators live in some waters, which is very convenient for disposing of corpses.

Leaving Julio to wait by the gravel embankment of the railway, Colin led the lampkeeper into the depths of the field.

Colin inadvertently glanced at the distant sky as he sank Arecio into the marsh with the marsh pine.

It was at this moment when he was throwing the corpse in the wild and he was a little nervous, he saw some strange sights.

Insects were still buzzing in the wetland swamp, and the smell of silt even seemed a bit cool.

But the distant horizon is burning in Xiongxiong, and the red light spreads to the night sky.

From nowhere came the sound of heavy iron chains being dragged across the hard ground.The sky seemed inexplicably narrow and cramped, as if he was looking up from a fence.

The stars have changed their appearance, bit by bit, like blood stains falling on the black cloth, and the Ziyue, which is in its last string, is a hideous wound torn open in the sky, and the texture on the moon’s surface is like the exposed tissue under the skin , trembling slightly with pain.

Bloodstains flowed to the ground along those wounds, the sky was like a tortured person, and behind the black curtain, countless punishments were being staged in turn.

The huge female moon still maintained its convex shape, and the crazy markings were distorted into a strange and unfamiliar face, which was obviously not a human face.The shape of the eyes is similar to that of the Shuttle Demon, it stares at the ground without a trace of expression.

Colin was distracted by this strange sight for a moment, and then he realized it.

I am still in the consciousness frequency of the shuttle demon.

A specific frequency of consciousness is the key to unlock a certain type of knowledge.

The frequency is equal to the coordinates, and the capture of the shuttle demon makes his consciousness close to the 36th area of ​​hell.Therefore, images related to punishment and prison appear densely in these hallucinations.

But they are obviously mixed with the facts on the frequency of matter, so all information becomes difficult to interpret.

And if, through a certain method, the things on the material frequency are filtered out.It may be possible to receive information from that frequency in its entirety and order.

For example, through dreams.

And this is the so-called frequency exploration, the way for consciousness to enter the imaginary world.

And the vision of complex frequency mixing may not just be a confusion caused by the mixing of meanings.It is also an expression of a perspective that is close to "real".

Because now Colin has understood that the path to ascension is not "migration", but "expansion".

With the inertial thinking of ordinary people, the "end" is always somewhere special.The front, the high place, the center, are often irrelevant to where you stand, a more ideal and better place.

However, it has neglected its long-standing foothold, its own "coordinates".

But if the world arises from the splitting of the indescribable's endless frequency, will the complete He exist only at a certain point in the world?

He is both one and all.

He is the highest god, but also the humblest ant.

He is anyone.

Ignoring any frequency may be incomplete, and everyone only lives on the afterimage of one ten thousandth of the 'real world'.But if anyone can extend the tentacles of consciousness to every frequency...

Colin snapped his fingers, hinting at himself to return.

"Return to zero."

The phantoms in the night sky dissipate as they break away from the anomalous frequency.

The surroundings returned to silence, only the vibrant chirping of insects remained.

Something big moved in the water, and the predators under the water had already smelled the smell of blood and approached the corpse.

Colin turned back and walked towards the railway.

…………

In the next few days, Ke Lin did not receive any information related to the train tragedy from any channel.

As a virtually retired lampkeeper, Alessio's disappearance didn't seem to cause much shock within the Five Hands.

Or, it's just that it's just not accessible at Colin's level.

On the night of leaving the train, after setting up Giovanni and Julio, Colin went to Arecio's private laboratory through the address given by Julio.

With the decline of Capello, the employees here have been dismissed a long time ago, but Alessio is here alone.

So Colin obtained the information he left without disturbing anyone.

These included research on Vibrio carinii and intelligence related to Julio.

And the photo of the "fog" applied by Aresio.It originally carried the life that Arecio planned for Julio, but now because the host of the ceremony died, the cognitive barrier in the photo disappeared, and it slowly returned to Julio's appearance.

It was only then that Colin realized that Julio was a candidate to become the Lantern Girl.

Her erratic and contradictory personality is also explained, which is that her nature and the mirror image from Valeria are fighting against each other.

At the beginning, Mr. No. [-] would understand that Aresio's actions violated the creed, and he should have recognized that the protection of the lamp girl is above all else.

As for No. [-]’s belief that the current lamp girl Hilpert is unwilling to resign, it should be Alessio who interferes with it—he doesn’t want the current lamp girl to resign, which will cause Julio to be forced to come to the front desk prematurely.

I don't know how No. [-]'s attitude towards the lamp girl will change after Aresio's death.

At this point, the story seems to be complete again.

But now, it is impossible for him to stop.

That foreign student named Benedict is really good at memorizing and analyzing trivial details.

Just like playing a certain jigsaw puzzle, he sorted out sixteen nodes from Stade's intricate traffic network and sewer system.

Considering the underground transportation, the distribution of the surrounding communities, and the emergency evacuation route in case of being attacked, sixteen addresses were obtained after weighing, as the optimal solution for the location of the underground bar.

At the same time, the letters sent as "Lieutenant Heinrich" finally began to receive intermittent replies.

After all, those soldiers have long been unbearable for the current life.

Colin hasn't opened those letters yet, but just holding them, he also knows about Stade's underground world.

A storm of change is coming.

　I'm a little dizzy and not quite right, let's do it for today.
