Chapter 100 The mysterious man

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

In the open space outside the lighthouse, the anomaly measuring instrument made a sharp beeping sound again, and the anomaly value on it began to soar!
The number above started to soar rapidly from just over one thousand to 1500. Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is more terrifying is the dispersion index next to it.

The increase in the dissipation index means that the magical power generated by the lighthouse has begun to spread in all directions, which also formally means that the impact of the dissipation of magical power has begun to occur in reality.

Edson wiped the sweat off his face and cursed, "Damn it, what on earth is going on in there? Observer! How high is Xia Shou!"

"Stopped at 160 meters." the observer replied.

"160 meters...it's 160 meters and we haven't found Ire's ritual yet?" Edson was very uneasy.

In the distance, the death row prisoners crammed into the escort van began to behave abnormally. Some of them became listless, while others suddenly became excited, shouting and talking nonsense. They were all passively eroded by the leaked abnormality, and experienced various visual and tactile hallucinations.

Because the escort rooms of the escort vehicles have been specially modified, the efficiency of people inside them in absorbing abnormalities is much higher than normal, so the speed at which these death row prisoners go crazy is often alarmingly fast. They are basically disposable scrap products that have to be executed immediately afterwards.

But even with the barrier of the Death Prisoner's Barrier, the cursed power here will leak out and affect ordinary people sooner or later.

Although this place is far away from residential areas, the escaped cursed energy will not disappear automatically without human interference, and the Death Prisoner's Barrier cannot 100% block the escape.

"Buyer! His height is rising again! 165...170...180!"

"Let me see!" Edson came to the altimeter and stared at the rapidly rising, completely abnormal numbers, feeling a chill down his spine.

"I now understand why this challenge is so difficult." Xia Shou's voice came from the communicator.

After a while, Xia Shou continued, "I remember now. I also saw you in my dream."

……

……

Xia Shou stood on the flesh wall of the heavenly choir, not knowing what to do.

Now it is no longer a question of whether to move forward or not, but that he can no longer tell what choice constitutes progress.

Want to turn around and run away?
Maybe he turned and ran away here, and in the lighthouse, he turned and ran downwards.

But does following the missionary’s instructions and continuing forward mean going up in the lighthouse?

Not to mention that this place has nothing in common with a lighthouse, he has no idea of ​​the direction. It is even possible that all the sensations he is feeling now are illusions, including the tactile feedback from walking.

In this situation, it is impossible for him to have full control over his body's actions.

In addition, he couldn't say anything about the Heavenly Choir because the communicator was still hanging on his waist. Although he didn't even have clothes here, in reality, the communicator should still be on his body.

But if these were all hallucinations, then any word he said now could lead to the leakage of information from the Heavenly Choir, and he would then be greeted with a punishment more horrible than death.

"Now I know why this challenge is so difficult." Xia Shou sneered.

Because in the end, tower climbing is not just about overcoming your inner fears and climbing the stairs.

But we don’t even know the direction to move forward, and we cannot compare the illusion and real behavior.

When all five senses are affected by illusions, any judgment is groundless and wrong. Suddenly, the shadow under Xia Shou's feet rippled and spread out in all directions like overflowing liquid.

The inky black shadow spread in all directions like thick paint. When the shadow expanded from under Xia Shou's feet, the wailing sounds in the air gradually faded away, and the soft touch of the soles of the feet on the human body also disappeared, and the ground under his feet became hard steps again.

The illusion is dispelled!!
This instantaneous transformation made Xia Shou quite confused, but he did return to the lighthouse, and all the pain and blood on his body disappeared.

The black shadow fluctuated under his feet, and finally bulged in front of him and turned into a human figure, and the black shadow became the human figure's clothes.

That should be a piece of clothing.

Xia Shou could only describe it with the word "clothes", although the clothes were extremely black and did not have any three-dimensional sense at all. It was as if it absorbed all the light. It was a pure black block with only the outline of a human body.

The only thing that is not black is his black hair... Although it is also black, compared with real black, his hair is not black.

"Ding!"

The man took out a pocket watch from his pocket, opened the cover to take a look, and then immediately closed it again.

Xia Shou recognized the pocket watch. It was Dorian Gray's pocket watch that he had always kept!
How did Dorian Gray's pocket watch end up in his hand?
He remembered the dream he had on the plane. Although he dreamed of a vicious homeless child, a pocket watch also appeared in the perspective of that dream. Now that he thought about it, it was Dorian Gray's pocket watch.

"I remember now. I also saw you in my dream." Xia Shou said vigilantly.

The man didn't say anything. He put the pocket watch in his pocket and walked straight up.

In Xia Shou's eyes, the environment in the lighthouse had undergone tremendous changes. Countless black threads like spider silk appeared in the air. Those threads kept flowing down from the top of the passage, as if they were blown downwards by the wind.

Countless thin lines intertwined together to create ripples like the sea tide, but the man in front of him was like a reef in the sea, forcibly dividing these black lines and forcibly making room for a piece of open space behind him that was not affected by anything!

Although the other party did not explain anything, Xia Shou suddenly understood that those black lines were the influence of the lighthouse itself on the challenger. They were the embodiment of those fears.

As long as you stand behind this mysterious man, you will not be affected by the lighthouse!

Xia Shou immediately followed the other person's footsteps and continued walking upwards.

Is this also an illusion?

But if this is an illusion, why isn't it a horrific illusion this time?
……

……

Outside the lighthouse, everyone stared at the numbers on the altimeter in amazement.

Xia Shou's height just broke through the 180 meter mark a few seconds ago, and is now rushing towards 200 meters!
Five seconds later, the 200-meter mark was broken and the speed increased further!
At the same time, the anomaly index has also increased. It has soared to an exaggerated 3000. This is no longer a question of whether to sound an alarm or not. This level of anomaly value is guaranteed to be a level six abnormality!

In normal times, according to the control bureau's procedures, they should use earthquakes or air strikes as an excuse to disperse the people in the city.

But now, although the anomaly index has reached 3000, the escape rate is very stable and even suppressed!
"Hey, the altimeter is broken?" Reed said puzzledly. He looked at the flying numbers and completely lost his trust in the machine.

The number has reached 300 meters!
And the growth is still accelerating!!!
