In Para Island and Angel of the Berserk Sea, they once "accidentally entered" a large-scale dream. It was a nightmare caused by the maintenance of negative personality caused by a Nighthawks senior deacon who was trying to be promoted to "Nightwatcher" and lost control.
At that time, Angel discovered that the "Hidden Holy Emblem" given to her by Arianna, with a hint of Evernight Goddess's blessing, could keep her awake in dreams, even if the dream was created by an out-of-control Demigod.
There is no doubt that "Pale Empress" Sia Eggers hopes that Angel will come forward to explore Tizamo Town's dream, just to use her speciality of "awake in dreams" to solve all troubles without being disturbed by dreams.
But how does He know that I have the power to fight Dream Invasion? Just because of my current identity, I am the favored one of Goddess? Or maybe Divine Revelation of "Death" gave Him some hints? Angel thought and asked:
"Since your preliminary investigation found nothing, how do you know that all the anomalies are in the 'dream'?"
Shia supported the crown on her head, but did not let it be completely straightened to prevent herself from falling into that arrogant state, and then explained:
"First of all, based on the peak death toll of Tizamo Town and the outbreak time of various hysterics I mentioned before, we speculated that the power hidden deep in the town would appear in mid-December every year. Then, during this time last year, Numinous Episcopate sent some members to sneak into the town, eat local food, drink local water, sleep in the same building as the local residents... try to contact that power in this way."
The process is similar to the official Beyonder of Orthodox Church... "Numinous Episcopate", which was transformed from the Balam Empire and the church that believed in Death at the time, is indeed more formal than ordinary secret organizations... They chose to contact that force as "outsiders" because during the early investigation, it was found that outsiders and locals would suffer from hysteria and face the same probability of death?
Angel was thinking and motioning for the other party to continue.
"Sure enough, in the middle of the night on December 15, all Numinous Episcopate members in Tizamo Town entered a strange dream at the same time, but after waking up, they forgot everything, just like all other locals who entered Dream Invasion."
Shia continued to introduce in a calm tone.
Forgot everything? So how do you, who have not entered the Dream Invasion realm, know that there is such a dream? This is a complete paradox...Angel immediately found the loophole in Shia's words.
Before she could ask any questions, the latter took the initiative to explain:
"I was able to discover this dream that made all the participants forget everything after waking up, because my eyes were always following a volunteer from Numinous Episcopate. He himself could not remember any details about the dream, but I was not affected by the fact that I was hundreds of kilometers away."
This is the advantage of Angel... If it is God, this kind of power can cover the entire world, respond and help any believer at any time... Angel sighed.
Mr. Azik on the side asked with great interest:
"What's in the dream?"
"Another Tizamo Town that is exactly the same, except that it is surrounded by a dark and illusory mist and cannot leave." When Shia was not affected by the negative effects of "Pale Crown", she still maintained a certain degree of respect for Azik. She nodded to him and continued, "The Tizamo in the dream has all the local residents and outsiders who were in the town at the time, but it is Dreamwalker with a more negative mood."
"They quarreled and fought with each other, releasing extreme emotions rarely seen in reality, and even started killing each other with the weapons at hand... Of course, there are also people whose emotions are not expressed in extreme violence. They will woo the person they have a crush on but dare not say out loud, and start having sex directly on the street or in the corner of the alley...
"Most of the residents in the dream are controlled by such intense emotions and desires, including several members of Numinous Episcopate. Therefore, in addition to learning about such a strange dream, the exploration was a failure, and it also cost the lives of some members."
"Risk your life? Are there fatal dangers in dreams? "Angel asked subconsciously, and immediately understood what the other party meant, "If you are injured in a dream, it will happen in reality. If you die in a dream, is it the same as real death?"
Shia nodded:
"It's like Darkness Pathway's real dream, but there are some differences. Injuries in dreams will be reflected on the real body, but they are not real injuries, but some kind of phantom pain and dysfunction. Even if it is a missing arm or leg, the pain will get better after a few days to a few weeks...
"Only if you die in a dream, what will be reflected in reality will be a complete death, and it will slowly lead to the same death method within three months, such as the neck gradually breaking, such as the abdomen slowly splitting, and the internal organs rotting out..."
Three months... Is this the reason why those primitive tribes received "enlightenment" and took the initiative to attack Tizamo Town multiple times in December every year, killing specific targets in batches? Is this a bizarre death where the people who died in the dream are killed in reality, and they are "murdered" to cover up the reflection of the dream in reality? That mass hysteria is the aftermath of injuries and torture in dreams? Couldn't that pregnancy-like feeling be just... Angel's thoughts were spinning, and he connected Tizamo Town's various anomalies with the special dream.
But this further proves the weirdness of the dream. It seems that there is an invisible force hiding it from the outside world. Even if Tizamo Town people fight with each other and die in the dream, this secret must be kept.
As far as Angel knows, neither Saint nor Saint of "dark" Pathway has such ability. Dunn Smith and Leonard Mitchell have become "Nightwatcher", which can instantly Everyone within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area is pulled into the Dream Invasion environment, and the power of Nightmare is used to cause damage to them, which is reflected in the real body, but it is not the effect of slow death delayed for several months, and after waking up, some memories of the dream will be retained and will not be completely forgotten.
"A certain Saint or Angel of Darkness Pathway is hiding in Tizamo, and has the power of other Pathway to help?"
Angel asked after considering it.
The power of strange death after waking up from the dream may involve the curse power of "Chained" or "Devil", and making people forget what happened in the dream may be "Spectator" The ability of "Evernight" adjacent to "Death" and "Twilight Giant" Pathway also has a certain ability to delay damage.
But these abilities cannot be concentrated in one Beyonder. It must be the cooperation of multiple people or the combination of the abilities of multiple Sealed Artifact.
To her disappointment, Sia Eggers also shook his head and replied:
"I don't know about this either.
"After the dream ended that day, in addition to trying to save the Numinous Episcopate members who died in the dream and whose bodies gradually began to collapse, I also organized a new team to infiltrate Tizamo in a similar way, but did not enter the dream again. This means that the special dream will only open in the middle of the night on December 15th every year.
"The rest of the time, even if you use Darkness Pathway's Sealed Artifact, you will only enter the dreamland of no one. As long as you leave Tizamo and get close to the surrounding dark fog, you will wake up immediately. Forcibly maintaining the Dream Invasion state will even lead to being eroded by the fog..."
This is like "Special Mirror World" that can only be opened at a fixed time. At other times, even if you touch the mirror, you can only enter the ordinary Mirror World... On December 15th, three days later, I came here at this time. Is there some kind of guidance or "arrangement" from Spirituality... Angel pondered for a moment and asked:
"Although this dream sounds dangerous, it is not an intractable problem for Angel. Why would you consider the exploration of Tizamo as one of the conditions for handing over 'Pale Crown'?"
Sia Eggers straightened up and said in a serious tone:
"Because in that dream, I felt a hint of terrifying power, which is the power that all 'Death'Pathway Beyonder both yearn for and fear... It belongs to 'River Styx'.
"Due to the influence of this power, the higher the Death pathway Beyonder is, the greater the risk of entering that dream. Last year's exploration was led by 'Undying'. He remained awake to a certain extent in the dream, but was eroded in some way. After leaving the dream, he died on the spot and entered the process of resurrection. He is still lying in the mausoleum until now.
"My intuition tells me that if it were me who entered the Dream Invasion realm, my end would not be much better than his."
Having said this, the face of "Death Consul" turned a little pale.
Sequence, the higher the level, the more dangerous it is. Isn't this the characteristic of "Sefirah"? According to Salinger paraphrased by Mr. Azik, "River Styx" is "River of Eternal Darkness"... Is that dream a special area contaminated by Sefirah?
The more Angel thinks about it, the more ridiculous it becomes. If the dream is eroded by Sefirah, then no matter whether it is "Death" Pathway's High Sequence Beyonder, entering it will be affected, but Shia thinks that she who is not Death pathway can do it for her.
The clever thing is that the favor of "City of Calamity" owned by Angel can prevent her from the influence of "River of Eternal Darkness" to a certain extent, which is a mistake.
Will this be affected by the seal of "Underworld Daoist"? At first, I thought that this seal had merged with Mr. Azik and Sia Eggers, but I didn't expect that it was because of Tizamo Town's "River of Eternal Darkness" power... There is also a tributary there, like Trier underground?
If so, then she is indeed the best candidate for exploration. Whether it is Azik or Shia, it may be difficult to escape from the power of "River of Eternal Darkness". It is good luck to be reborn with the power of "Undying".
This is the East, no, what Western Continent said is that there is God's will in the dark? Angel chuckled secretly and asked:
"Does that dream have an official name?"
"Yes, Demoness Miss, yes." Hearing the implicit agreement in her words, Shia showed a relieved smile and nodded repeatedly, "In the dream, those Dreamwalkers with extreme emotions called that night 'Dream Festival'."
