Chapter 686

Seeing that Louis Longde's strange sacrificial dance was nearing its end, Fenn Bote didn't dare to waste time. He quickly poured some moon essential oil onto his hands and, using his own ability, let it combine with his spirituality and rapidly volatilize it.

Jiamou, Ai Nana, and the others immediately smelled a refreshing and psychedelic fragrance, feeling as if their own spirits were drunk and about to float out of their bodies.

Fenn Bote's voice sounded soft and distant in their ears, making their thoughts drift further and further away and become more and more detached. But fortunately, they were not the targets of the spirit channeling, so they managed to control themselves quite easily.

The shadow wearing the black robe gradually left the glass window and slowly approached Fenn Bote.

Suddenly, the shadow disappeared. Fenn Bote first lowered his head, then slowly raised it.

His face was stained with the color of the night and carried a distinct sense of gloom, his two eyes completely dark.

Seeing this, Lu Mi completely ended the "Dance of Summoning" and walked to a place three meters away from Fenn Bote.

Although he originally intended for Fenn Bote to directly channel spirits and communicate with that shadow while he himself was responsible for providing questions, that shadow was clearly somewhat special and actually directly possessed Fenn Bote.

Of course, this was also a type of spirit channeling. Many "Spirit Mediums" would let the target spirit use their own mouth to communicate with relatives from before their death or answer certain people's questions.

Looking at the gloomy and terrifying Fenn Bote, Lu Mi thought for a moment and said:

"Do you know what happened to the people who lived in this house six years ago?"

He intended to start by asking about the simplest things that were least likely to cause anomalies, and during the questioning process, he would constantly adjust the direction, tone, and wording of the questions based on the actual situation.

Fenn Bote opened his mouth and made a slightly sharp voice that didn't sound like his own at all:

"Affected, held a ceremony, all died."

Hearing such an answer, everyone else present, including Jiamou, was in a daze, not understanding whether this contained important information.

Except for Lu Jianuo, everyone else guessed that Louis Longde was asking about the fire that the Tewanaco family encountered in reality, where almost everyone died, and that spirit's answer could only make them think of the influence of a cult or an evil god.

As a "Conspirator," various relevant information instantly surfaced in Lu Mi's mind:

Every person's suppressed emotions and desires in Tizamo Town would be absorbed by the dream, gradually accumulating to form corresponding dream projections;

Dream projections would, like the gravekeeper, hide in the chaotic areas of the dream, guarding that black ancient tomb;

In the dream fragments seen during previous explorations, the gravekeeper wearing a black robe and the projections were surrounding the ancient tomb, not knowing what they were doing, and among them was the figure left behind by "Tewanaco";

"Tewanaco" would return to Tizamo Town two or three times a year, for one week each time;

After leaving Tizamo, the corresponding dream projections would gradually fade until they disappeared;

"Tewanaco" became a Path Feifanzhe of the "Demon" pathway after the fire;

The devil of the North family...

This information appeared in Lu Mi's mind simultaneously, like different nodes of a spider web, but it still lacked the corresponding threads to connect them.

Soon, Lu Mi had some guesses:

"Tewanaco" would still return to Tizamo Town once or twice outside of the "Dream Festival," for a week or more each time, to ensure that his dream projection wouldn't completely disappear and to let the dream absorb some of the rampant malice?

Those dream projections stayed with the gravekeeper beside that ancient tomb, which clearly had special features and a quite high rank. Would they suffer the hidden influence of the ancient tomb or the cold corpse inside the ancient tomb unknowingly?

If one link of guarding the tomb was sacrifice, when the 'Dream Festival' started and the projections returned to the main body, would some humans who were deeply affected try to imitate the gravekeeper's behavior, hold a ceremony, and end up failing, with the whole family dying, but also causing this house to be polluted, resulting in anomalies and having a subtle connection with the black ancient tomb?

Hmm, this is one possibility, but there's no way to put the information about the North family's devil and "Tewanaco" becoming a Path Feifanzhe of the "Demon" pathway into it...

What would happen if I put them in?

Lu Mi's heart stirred, and he thought of another possibility.

What affected the Tewanaco family wasn't just the black ancient tomb or the cold corpse inside the ancient tomb, but also that devil from the North family!

That devil had been coveting that corpse or the thing that brought the corpse's anomaly, and for this reason, secretly influenced the Tewanaco family, taught them some knowledge, and after the "Dream Festival" started, through the influence of the real world, amplified their corresponding desires in the dream. This, combined with the disintegration of self-control and crazy indulgence brought by the "Dream Festival," led the Tewanaco family to actively try the rituals given by the devil or the sacrificial process recorded by the dream projection, resulting in a series of subsequent anomalies?

Was the surviving "Tewanaco" discovered to be special by the devil and lured onto the "Demon" pathway?

His spirit suddenly became a bit tense, and a feeling of doubt emerged in his heart:

The next very important thing is to guard against that devil. It should still be unable to personally participate in the "Dream Festival," but there will definitely be its minions appearing...

As his thoughts raced, Lu Mi felt that he had a deeper grasp of the situation of the "Dream Festival."

He looked at the shadow possessing Fenn Bote and changed the question:

"What about the gravekeepers? Where have they gone now?"

Fenn Bote, whose face seemed to be covered in shadows, answered in a sharp voice:

"Dream Festival starts, tomb chamber opens, need to hide."

Need to hide? After the "Dream Festival" starts, that tomb chamber becomes unusually dangerous or has huge hidden dangers for the gravekeepers? Lu Mi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ai Nana.

This young lady, Fenn Bote, and Congressman Yu Ge had all reached that black ancient tomb without any obstruction during the previous "Dream Festival" and easily obtained different supernatural powers through touch.

Where are the hidden dangers, where is the danger, and where are the gravekeepers?

There must be some problems here.

Ai Nana felt inexplicably afraid of being looked at by Louis Longde and asked with a trembling voice:

"Is, is there a problem with this answer?"

Lu Mi laughed and said:

"The gravekeepers all need to hide, why don't you?"

Before Ai Nana had time to think deeply about this question, she saw Fenn Bote's gloomy and dim face twist, appearing extremely painful.

Seeing this, Lu Mi sighed and said:

"End the spirit channeling."

If it continues, Fenn Bote will have problems.

Fenn Bote still retained his complete self and a certain ability to act, so he immediately recited two words in Ancient Hermes, the words to let the spirit on his body leave.

The shadow on his body didn't have any reaction, and the painful expression on his face became more obvious.

Fenn Bote slowly pulled out a dagger and stabbed his own finger.

Drops of bright red blood mixed with his "Spirit Medium" spirituality and sprinkled toward the window like a string of pearls.

Accompanied by this action, Fenn Bote once again shouted in a low voice in Ancient Hermes:

"Leave!"

The shadow that looked like a black robe suddenly detached from Fenn Bote's body, chased after those drops of blood, and disappeared in front of the glass window.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mi withdrew his intent from his right hand and no longer prepared to "hum" a sound.

He breathed a sigh of relief in secret and said to Jiamou, Ai Nana, and the others:

"You go to the second floor and wait for me."

"What's the matter again..." Ai Nana muttered and turned to go downstairs.

It was only about ten seconds, and the third floor returned to quiet.

Lu Mi took out materials from the "Traveler's Bag," set up a ritual, and tried to summon the messenger of Lady "Magician."

Unfortunately, this was a dream, and it couldn't succeed.

Lu Mi, who had some expectations, wasn't too disappointed. Although the "Dream Festival" came early, making him unable to report the latest situation to Lady "Magician," which added a lot of risk to the matter, similar problems would be encountered sooner or later, and he had long been mentally prepared.

Although a "Hunter" likes to plan in advance, he won't be afraid of an encounter battle.

Lu Mi was even a little excited, which didn't just come from the slight influence of the "Dream Festival."

Putting away the items, Lu Mi went down to the second floor and said straightforwardly to Fenn Bote and Ai Nana:

"Which one of you will take me to that black giant stone?"

He had analyzed the situations of Ai Nana, Fenn Bote, and Congressman Yu Ge and discovered that their experiences of easily reaching the black ancient tomb and obtaining supernatural powers had one thing in common: they were all led by someone who had touched the black ancient tomb before.

Of course, there was more than one common point.

Fenn Bote fell silent, wanting to say "Didn't you promise to let me go after I helped you with one thing?", but he didn't dare to speak.

Ai Nana glanced at Fenn Bote a few times, and seeing that he had no indication at all, she pursed her lips and said to Lu Mi:

"Me!"

Immediately after, she added another sentence:

"I want to see if I can still obtain more supernatural powers."

Lu Mi nodded and said to Fenn Bote:

"You can leave now."

Fenn Bote glanced at Lu Mi, then looked at Ai Nana, didn't speak, and walked out of the Tewanaco house step by step.

"Hey, he might think that you were taken to the church by me, for the purpose of dealing with Congressman Yu Ge and making him look ugly. Hey, it was indeed taken there by me." After Fenn Bote's back disappeared, Ai Nana said "Hey" twice in a row.

Miss Ailuo, who had already picked up most of the arrows and put them away, saw this and comforted her earnestly:

"But you purified the church for God.

"Praise the Sun!"

Ai Nana also opened her arms:

"Praise the Sun!"

After they finished communicating, Lu Mi said to Jiamou and Miss Ailuo:

"Next, I'm going to that black ancient tomb. You decide for yourselves whether to go."

"I..." Lu Jianuo tried to speak.

He had just spat out one word when he was interrupted by Lu Mi's smile:

"You must go."

Lu Jianuo closed his mouth immediately.

Jiamou and Miss Ailuo looked at each other and said in unison:

"I'll go too."

Lu Mi didn't try to persuade them and nodded:

"Then let's set off now."
