In front of the checkpoint, the officer who was counting the people entering and leaving suddenly felt dizzy and staggered back two steps.
He covered his forehead with his hands, feeling chaotic light and shadow flashing before his eyes, and a faint palpitation spread.
The commander immediately recognized his illness—nightmare syndrome was spreading rapidly in Singara, and as a military officer, he was already familiar with its precursors.
There was no doubt that he was infected with nightmares.
"It's...it's a nightmare..." The officer turned around and stretched out his hand to the soldier with difficulty, "Go and call...Xian..."
Before he could finish his words, it was as if a ferocious beast roared in his mind, and the commander lost consciousness the moment the dark dream spread.
"Come! Go call the sage!" a guard shouted, "Go call..."
"Is it a nightmare?"
A clear female voice was heard, and the guard turned around to see a doctor with black hair and green eyes walking slowly towards him.
This doctor...the guards are familiar!
She was the doctor who had been specially invited by the Conghui Hall to treat Letes Agomont! She had also entered the inner part of the ring city through this checkpoint!
The guards were very familiar with her because she had the delicate face that was unique to Yanxia women.
"Are you Doctor Jie Deti?" The team members were overjoyed. "Quick, hurry up and save our commander! He seems to have been infected with nightmares!"
"Let me take a look."
Xing Mo squatted down beside the commander, pretending to check it out, then raised his head:
"It's indeed a nightmare. Can we find a place for him to lie flat?"
"Of course!" the guard said without hesitation.
Two guards lifted the commander up, carried him into the sentry post's garrison room, and placed him on the sofa.
Xing Mo squatted down beside the sofa and pretended to check it again, while asking:
"Has he had similar symptoms before?"
"No, no..." The guard shook his head.
"Did he get close to the desert this morning?" Xing Mo asked again, "Didn't some... uh... accident happen there?"
Refers to a deep well eruption event.
"Indeed," the guard muttered, "the personnel hadn't been transferred back then, so we were sent in to clean up the mess, but logically the contamination should have been cleared..."
"Pollution is pervasive," Xingmo whispered. "It can't be cleaned up so easily."
To be honest, it was really good luck. These soldiers happened to encounter the remnants of a deep well eruption while on duty and were cursed.
Otherwise, Xingmo would have to ask Aurora to put some curses into their bodies.
However, this can be considered a good thing: after all, Xingmo accurately condensed the curse on them and gave it to the commander alone, and then helped him to get rid of it all at once.
"Leave the room for a moment," Xingmo said, "I need to perform a simple ritual."
The guards didn't say much. After all, Dr. Jadeti had treated Letes Agomont and must have his own methods.
They all left the guard room and closed the door.
I have to say, these soldiers treated me much better than Ahmed... It seems not all of them are so racist...
Xingmo thought so, closed his eyes, and used the "Tree of Life" mark to enter the captain's dream.
The black sky and earth rushed over like a tide, quickly forming a nightmare scene when the nightmare invaded.
As Xing Mo fell asleep, she saw a little nightmare lying on the ground with a ferocious look in its eyes.
The eyes on the head are very fierce, the eyes on the hands are very fierce, and the eyes on the back are very fierce.
It looked like it had just been born and had not yet begun to devour the soul of the dream master.
Xingmo: "Hello."
Little Nightmare: “?”
Sparks instantly burned the dream, accompanied by screams as the nightmare was destroyed.
Xing Mo opened her eyes, fed the "Flower Language" she carried with her to her superior, and then stood up and stretched.
"All right," she called to the door, "the treatment is complete."
The guards opened the door and rushed in, looking at the scene in front of them in surprise: the captain was slowly opening his eyes, his eyes still a little confused.
"So fast?" They were very surprised.
According to what they had heard, nightmare syndrome was an incurable disease, and many nobles had suffered from it.
And this Dr. Jie Deti, she did it in just two minutes?
"His nightmares are in the early stages. Um...it's probably caused by today's deep well eruption."
Xing Mo said, turning to look at the captain who was waking up:
"I need you to cooperate with me in some questions and answers, okay?"
Chapter 220 Stranded Fish (Part 6) -4k- (Double Update in One)
"Investigation or something... Of course no problem..."
The officer sat up with difficulty, rubbing his temples, his face pale.
Even though he was only trapped in a nightmare for a short time, he could still feel the blasphemous power contained in the monstrous black air.
It was so terrifying that for a moment he thought he was going to die.
The commander sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at Xingmo:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tolum. If I remember correctly, you are Miss Jadeti, right?"
"Indeed," Xingmo thought, thinking that the officer was quite polite. "Sir Tolum, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"No, no, don't use honorifics for me. I have to thank you for your help," Tolum waved his hand. "I originally thought you served those old guys in the garden, but I didn't expect you to be such a kind-hearted person."
"It's a doctor's duty to treat patients," Xingmo said. "It sounds like Your Excellency is not very satisfied with the people in the garden?"
Tolum's mouth curled slightly:
"Look at what a mess this is today. They're actually trying to mine... something like that is unheard of. If the pollution spreads to Garo City, who will be held responsible? We can't stop the evil god's minions."
Oh? It seems these city guards are unaware of the underground spring mining...
This further confirmed Xing Mo's previous guess: the Sky Garden Project was highly secretive even within the imperial system.
And when the deep well erupted, the storm inside them gradually grew stronger.
"It was truly horrifying. I witnessed it all at the time," Xing Mo said, feigning worry. "I don't know if the pollution will continue to spread."
"If so, it will just allow that damned Ahmed Tut to bear some of the consequences," Tolum gritted his teeth. "He's gone mad and is no longer fit for that position."
Wow, you're so bold to say that... Xing Mo thought about it for a moment, then spoke:
"...It sounds like you're not too happy with his decision to expand the fleet?"
She paused, then quickly pretended to be sorry:
"Ah...I'm sorry, I'm just a doctor. I shouldn't ask so many questions."
"It doesn't matter. Just treat these as our gossip."
Tolum rubbed his neck, clearly still feeling a bit shaken by the nightmare he'd contracted.
"That old fellow has lived for hundreds of years. He's been away from the desert for a long time, fighting all over the sea, devouring flesh and blood like a madman."
"Both he and his vampire-like troops have gone mad."
"We are defending the city of Garo, not those disgusting old traditions. The people of the oasis have unlimited springs to drink from, so why should they drink the blood of their own kind?"
Hearing him say this, Xing Mo smiled helplessly:
"From a doctor's perspective, drinking blood is indeed unhealthy..."
"He used that as a way to show off, to claim his status as a Golden People," Tolum sneered. "Look at how many ignorant young men he led down that old path? In the end, they didn't even know how they lost their heads."
"It seems that you don't want to go to war with the Academy?" Xingmo asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Tolum's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he shook his head slightly:
"No one likes war, even the war with the Farooq people should have stopped long ago."
"My brother died in an encounter during a raid on a village in Fallu... Forget it, you're a doctor, it's better not to know this."
Tolum sighed, and then his eyes became as hot as iron again:
"Well, let's stop chatting now, Miss Jiedeti, and talk about nightmares."
"Oh, okay." Xingmo nodded.
So, Xingmo asked Tolum about his whereabouts today, the people he came into contact with, and the areas where he stayed for more than half an hour.
Of course, these questions are not really necessary, because the curses on him have been eliminated by Xingmo.
Although those curses are only a light layer, if they accumulate over time, they will probably give rise to nightmares.
It has to be said that Xingmo is very impressed by Tolum's straightforward personality and anti-war attitude. He seems to be the golden man of the new era, and his current attitude towards the Sky Garden is also dissatisfied.
Xingmo could completely understand them: he was a soldier, and his duty was to protect the country and his home.
The reason why the Machiavelli Empire declared war on the Citadel was... Prince Austin was detained.
What Austin did in the Citadel could not be hidden from everyone's eyes. After all, he released the Song of Death in the South City at that time.
The South City District is where the imperial people gather.
Xingmo knew that many people in New Garo must be dissatisfied with the decision to go to war, whether it was the peace-loving minister that Isis knew, or the former great sage Luffy, or even this ordinary imperial governor Tolum.
These people are against war and everything they do is not for invasion, but to protect their own people.
But even so, Xingmo knew that any naive fantasy should be dispelled immediately.
The Machiavellian Empire is a centralized state ruled by the Golden King. Except for the Divine Council, all decisions of the Empire will follow that King.
Opposition from a small group cannot sway the tide.
And now, the only reason why the God's Chosen Council is about to determine the outcome of the war is because the Golden King remains indoors.
Xingmo's intuition told her that no matter what the Golden King was plotting at the highest point of the Sky Garden, it would be the absolute turning point of this war.
""
After finishing the diagnosis for Tolum, Xingmo stood up and clapped his hands:
"Okay, I'll be searching the slums near the ring city for any signs of the curse. If you have any complications or if anyone else needs treatment, please contact me immediately."
Xingmo specifically told Tolum her recent permanent location and justified her reason: it was because Tolum, a person infected with nightmare syndrome, had passed through this area.
In this way, combined with his previous experience as a medical practitioner for Letes Agomont, Xingmo thought it would be difficult for him to be exposed again.
"Thank you very much for your generosity," Tolum said respectfully. "You are so conscientious. It seems I overestimated you earlier."
"A doctor's duty is to treat patients," Xing Mo said calmly. "By the way, you can tell your colleagues this news. After what happened yesterday, I suspect many soldiers may have been infected with the curse, and it might become a high-risk group."
After saying that, Xingmo exchanged a few pleasantries with Tolum, waved goodbye, and walked out of the checkpoint, returning to the slums near the ring city.
Looking from afar, Xingmo saw Aurora standing on tiptoe at the intersection looking around.
She smiled lightly and stepped forward:
"Little Ancestor, have you distributed all the bread yet?"
"I've finished distributing them," Aurora raised her hand and showed Xingmo the empty basket in her hand. "I've also explained the supreme teachings of the gods to them!"
"It won't attract other people's attention, right?" Xing Mo laughed.
"Don't worry, I demonstrated my healing miracle first, and then I started preaching," Aurora said, her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction. "But you, how come you're hanging out with those soldiers again?"
"It's just part of the plan." Xingmo waved his hand.
Next, Xingmo briefly told Aurora about how she helped Tolum cure his illness.
"That's a clever idea," Aurora nodded. "So, next, do we have to make more soldiers sick?"
"If you can do it, it will increase your credibility." Xing Mo tilted her head. "Can you do it?"
"Of course, you can ask someone for help."
