Negative effects

"How could it be?" Jenna was surprised and stunned, but also had strong doubts.

She remembered that at the end of the Occult Gathering just now, Participant were separated at intervals, and there were many routes to choose from. The two of them were careful not to leave any traces, so how could they be followed?

Seeing that Jenna controlled the urge to look back, Franca walked forward as if nothing had happened and whispered in a low chatter, "Who knows? Maybe Participant happened to choose this route and found someone in front of him and wanted to follow him to see if there was a chance to make a windfall. Maybe it was someone with special abilities who followed him in some way that we didn't expect.

"Go forward and pretend nothing happened. It will be safe when you return to the Arcade underground street.

"If the stalker launches an attack before this, you should immediately throw away the Carbide Lamp in your hand, hide in the surrounding shadows, and then decide how to participate in the battle depending on the situation."

Jenna nodded slightly, indicating that he would do it.

She unconsciously clenched her left palm holding Carbide Lamp a little tighter.

After the two walked along the dark and damp Tunnel for a hundred or two hundred meters, Franca slowed down, turned his head, looked behind him, and muttered to himself in confusion, "The stalker is gone...

"It may also be possible to bypass the 'Spider Silk' I left behind in some way..."

As soon as she finished speaking, in the darkness ahead, from the edge of the Carbide Lamp light, a Daoist figure came out.

Jenna reacted very quickly and immediately dropped the Carbide Lamp he was holding in his left hand and hid in the shadow on the side.

Franca, relying on "Mirror Substitute", did not rush to avoid it, but turned his attention to the stalker who was walking around in front.

It was a man dressed as Warlock and covering his face with Hood shadow.

That Commissioner!

He looked at Franca and said in a deliberately sharp voice, "I want to make a deal with you."

Behind "Chrismona Night Pillar", Lumian held up the new White Candles, reflecting the dim light of the fire, following behind "Hella", walking towards the dark Depths step by step along the mottled stone steps that seemed to lead to the real Hell.

The rock walls on both sides slowly receded, revealing what looked like real reliefs of human heads. They were dark gray and densely packed together, just like the countless skeletons stacked close together in the upper Tomb Chamber.

Just after walking through all the stone steps, Fourth Level of the Catacombs stepped onto the extremely quiet Fourth Level of the Catacombs. Lumian suddenly became violent, as if he was locked in a prison and had lost his personal freedom for a long time. He wanted to use all means to escape.

He has felt this way before, it was the negative influence from "Armored Wraith" Contract, but it has never been as strong as now!

It's like his spirit was imprisoned by his body and he finally recognized the truth.

His spirit wants to blow up this "cage", blow up this world, blow up everything, and gain true freedom!

Huh...Lumian exhaled slowly, calming down his mental state a lot.

Even without the Gift of "Mendicant Friar", he asked himself whether he could withstand such abnormal emotions, but with the power of "Mendicant Friar", he could control it more easily.

"According to 'Justice' Lady, the higher the Sequence, the more madness has been accumulated, and the easier it is to be affected by the Corruption hidden by Fourth Level of the Catacombs... I will do it now Is this the case, just because Sequence is not tall and the impact is very weak, so it can be tolerated and controlled?" Lumian quickly guessed the current situation, instinctively raised his head, and cast his gaze diagonally ahead of "Hella".

The other party's neck is quite slender, and most of it is hidden in the collar of the widow's outfit, which is very suitable for pinching in the middle...

As soon as Lumian had such an idea, he quickly shook his head, throwing away the negative influence from "Abscessed Severed Hand" Contract.

At the same time, he saw "Hella"'s expression became more Paleness, looking more and more like Corpse who had been dead for many days rather than a living human being.

The next second, "Hella" took out a Military Flask, unscrewed the lid, and Gulu drank.

Lumian sniffed and smelled the strong aroma of wine.

He muttered silently:

It should be strong liquor... According to the drinking method of "Hella" Lady, will he be like those drunkards Feysac who carry many wine bottles with him?

After drinking a third of the bottle of distilled spirits in one go, "Hella"'s face turned a little rosy and asked, "Which way should we go?"

"Inside a building Ancient Tomb Chamber on the far west side." Lumian said frankly without any further concealment, "Currently we only know the general range, not sure which building it is."

"Hella" nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the top of the tomb.

A thick black line is drawn there, with arrows extending in all directions, pointing to different locations.

Based on the road signs near the entrance, Lumian roughly knew which route to take to the west.

But he still took out the compass he had prepared in advance, intending to make a confirmation.

As soon as the portable instrument was placed under the dim light of a white candle, the pointer kept beating, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, completely irregularly and unable to stop.

"It's crazy." Lumian used jokes to neutralize the controlled irritable mood.

"You can only find it by combining street signs and black lines." "Hella" seemed to have expected it.

Lumian sighed, looked at the still beating compass, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "It doesn't stop, can it be used to make a perpetual motion machine?"

"Hella" glanced at him:

"Aren't you a believer in 'Eternal Blazing Sun'?"

Lumian replied sincerely, "For the time being."

"Hella" did not continue the topic, and took steps forward to the right according to the street signs next to it and the black line above his head.

"'Marian Night Pillar' and 'Lius Night Pillar' are both on this floor, as well as François Tomb, Crimson Order Hall, Mad Mushroom Cave... Well, the style of this name is completely different from the others." Lumian murmured, looking away from the street sign.

The most obvious difference between the fourth floor of the tomb and the three floors above is that the bones of the deceased are no longer piled on both sides of the road. It looks much spacious and cleaner, but it also highlights the quietness of death.

And those Ancient Tomb Chamber have their entrances closed, making it impossible to see at a glance what is hidden inside.

"Hella" said without looking back, "A sign of your mental abnormality is that you talk more and nag more?"

"That's not true, it's just that talking helps relieve my anger." Lumian didn't hide anything.

The two stopped and walked, constantly adjusting their direction based on the street signs and black lines.

When passing by the semi-natural tomb cave named "Order Hall", with its outer layer of soil showing some traces of Blood-Colored, Lumian's eyes, which were constantly looking at the surrounding environment, suddenly caught sight of a person.

It was a Women, wearing a simple white robe, with smooth black hair. His facial features were extremely delicate and perfectly matched, and his temperament was so holy that he seemed not to belong to such a dead and filthy tomb.

Although Lumian often saw "Pleasure Witch", he still had a strong sense of surprise, and even had a sinful impulse to ravage the other person.

This is not only the negative impact of the "Torture" gloves, but also the dark thoughts of Depths in his heart.

What made Lumian regain consciousness was that the other party's crystal blue Eyes was cold and lifeless, and his hands were empty, not holding the lit White Candles!

Within Catacombs, any living person without the protection of White Candles's fire will disappear!

As Lu He_Tu_Sumi'an's body tensed up, the Women turned into the surrounding darkness, was blocked by the outer wall of "Crimson Order Hall", and disappeared.

"What are you looking at?" "Hella" a cold voice sounded.

"Didn't you see it?" Lumian described the scene he witnessed in detail.

"Hella" was silent for a few seconds and said, "I really didn't see it, although as soon as you stopped walking, I set my sights there."

"Only I can see? Or, only let me see?" Lumian I'm not sure if it's the influence of Termiboros, or it's the reason of Sequence or my gender.

"Hella" thought for a moment and said, "Don't pay attention to this kind of thing. Catacombs Depths has special Wraith and Evil Spirit. It's normal to wander around, but this Catacombs itself is equivalent to a very strong seal. If you don't violate the rules or trigger anomalies, you will not be in danger."

Lumian nodded:

"I was wondering just now. Ordinary tourists and adventurous college students certainly can't get here through the Third Layer tomb. Why do they need to get the Guidance black line and accurate road signs? Who are these for?"

"Official Beyonder who come here regularly to clean up and Catacombs Administrator who are responsible for patrol every day." "Hella" answered while taking steps again.

She then simply reminded, "According to your description, the figure of Women you just saw looks very much like the high-ranking Witch."

Lumian was shocked:

"It can't be the remaining resentful spirit of 'Calamity Witch'Krismona, right?"

"I'm not sure." "Hella" took out Military Flask, and Gulu took another sip.

Lumian looked at it casually, and his eyelids suddenly jumped.

He saw a purple-red patch on the back of "Hella"'s right hand.

That wasn't there originally.

It's like the body spots of a deceased person!

Is this the impact of Corruption on the fourth floor of the tomb? "Hella" Lady is relying on strong alcohol to fight? Lumian continues to talk nonsense.

In a nagging state, he and "Hella" walked through the unmarked multiple Ancient Tomb Chambers and arrived at the westernmost area of this level.

There are dozens or hundreds of Ancient Tomb Chambers distributed on the edge of the rock wall here, and the end of Lumians cannot be seen at a glance.

He was about to ask "Hella" if there was any way to speed up the search for the target, when he suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from a nearby Ancient Tomb Chamber.

Amid such movement, with "Hella" and Lumian watching with vigilance, the damaged stone wall of Tomb Chamber collapsed more, forming a black hole for humans to enter and exit.

A figure walked out from there with a bent back.

Lumian, who was highly nervous, wanted to blast Past with "Giant Fireball", but he still resisted the urge and decided to observe it first.

The man who climbed out of Ancient Tomb Chamber took the lit White Candles, patted the dust on his clothes, and slowly straightened up.

He is wearing a Seer type Black Robe inside a Circus. He has brown skin, a slim figure, slightly curly black hair, dark eyes, and a Monocle made of Crystal on his right eye. He is just like a Archipelago liar Monet.

Monet smiled at Lumian and "Hella":

"What a coincidence!"
