Lord of the Great Tribulation

Chapter 395 Ordinary
The outskirts of Lantis Township.

Fang Xian and Luo Fu drove a cart, disguised as businessmen who came to collect mushrooms from other places, and entered the town.

"Don't be nervous, relax... We have a full set of identification and financial certificates, and we are sent by Vegali Department Store to collect mushrooms..."

Love lit a cigarette and lowered his voice.

"I'm not nervous... I just feel... a little uncomfortable!"

Fang Xian pulled open his collar, feeling a little irritated.

This small town looks ordinary, and as the carts pulled by horses enter, it immediately attracts a lot of attention.

It seems that the residents of the small town here have not seen a strange face for a long time, and they are very sensitive about it.

'Is this the source of my irritability?Because of being watched? '

Fang Xian felt a little pity.

If his mystical view of Daluo Cave is still there, maybe he doesn't have to be so vigilant, and he is a little too nervous.

He followed Love to the only hotel in the town.

After showing proof of identity, check-in was smooth, and the innkeeper promised to spread the word for them.

"Only you businessmen come to our town every year."

The enthusiastic shopkeeper was a middle-aged man who called himself Brock, and delivered a bottle of wine to Fang Xian and Luo Fu's table: "Come and taste our specialty mushroom wine, as well as dried mushrooms!"

"Thank you."

Luo Fu laughed, poured himself a glass of mushroom wine, and poured another glass for Fang Xian.

On his hand, he wore a unique ring with a white crystal inlaid on it.

This is a tool used by investigators to detect the power of darkness. It has a very simple effect, that is, when exposed to the power of darkness, the inside will become turbid.

At this time, it was natural to hint to Fang Xian that a 'test' had been done.

Fang Xian pouted, noncommittal.

Some mysterious influences do not necessarily require extraordinary power to be effective, such as my own novels, or hallucinogenic toxins!
The adaptation surface of this ring is still too narrow.

According to his thinking, of course it would be best to investigate the case wearing a fully enclosed airtight protective suit.

It's just that it's unlikely.

Even so, he would not really eat some local specialties, but would eat some food he brought when he was ready.

Be careful when going out.

Love didn't take it seriously, or in other words, he was a 'trial and error' person. He immediately drank mushroom wine, chewed dried mushrooms, praised him repeatedly, and soon became involved with Bullock.

Fang Xian secretly poured away the drink and recalled that the scenes he saw when he came to the town were all normal.

And he himself has no sense of tribulation force, unable to detect the abnormalities hidden around him, for a while, he couldn't help being very confused.

……

A week passed quickly.

The residents of the town also got to know the two mushroom merchants.

Fang Xian moved a bag full of dried mushrooms into the room, and said to Luo Fu: "We have received enough goods. If it weren't for our excuse of collecting precious matsutake, we should have left a few days ago. The investigation still has no results." ... There are no foreigners here, and the family that moved in recently was 50 years ago, and they are not of the race of the Land of the Rising Sun..."

"I have also checked, and there is no problem with the security station in the small town. The security officer there may be corrupt, but no supernatural power is involved..." Luo Fu also frowned: "But... I just feel that this place is not normal , a pure feeling."

This kind of intuitive thing is evidence for people with high inspiration like them!
"I feel the same way, maybe...those heretics are hiding outside the town and forming associations in the dense forest?" Fang Xian said a conjecture: "I went to explore the jungle today, and I feel that the plants there grow too much. Is it denser?"

"Well, and on the way to the town, even if no one walks often, the speed of weeds is too fast... Are you trying to say... this area is too vigorous, too vigorous? "

Love thought about it.

Areas with more vigorous vitality are more likely to be favored by pagans, because the probability of success in sacrificial rituals is greater.

Fang Xian was also a little helpless.

Although his inspiration is high enough, it is only compared to ordinary investigators.

I have been wandering around the town these days, but have found nothing, as if... this is an ordinary town.

But under those ordinary characters, simple buildings, and ordinary things, there may be hidden unfathomable undercurrents, covering up the terrifying truth.

'The investigation is coming to an end... There are no clues at all... This is also the normal state of investigators. '

'Actually, there are so many supernatural cases in this world, there are always some that can't be taken care of... Even if there are some in this small town, they are not the type of sudden outbreaks. The scope is small and the harm is low. Even if they are indulged, it seems to be nothing... …'

After returning to his room, Fang Xian called out the attribute bar.

After learning from the investigator, he also added new display information to the property bar:
……

【Name: Fang Xian (Luo Ka)】

[Occupation: Alchemist (Level [-]—Death)]

【Spirit: 156】

【Inspiration: 199】

[Sanity: 50 (0~100)]

[Spells: Immortal Psalm, Bird with Broken Wings, Hymn to Worms]

[Alchemy:? ? ?Taoism:? ? ? , martial arts:? ? ? , Weird:? ? ? 】

……

"Spiritual power, inspiration, and reason are the three attributes that investigators value most. The attribute column is also based on my understanding, and the standard I understand is formulated by the keeper..."

"Spirit and inspiration, I was clumsy when I tested it, but my sanity value is not."

After all, if the sanity value is still hidden, it is not a joke to be tested and found to have lost sanity.

"There is a range for sanity, but there is no upper limit for spirit and inspiration...Love's stats may not be as high as mine!"

"The higher the spiritual power, the better, but not necessarily the inspiration... The higher the inspiration, the easier it is to perceive horror and evil... It is said that there are some special divisions. For example... more than 100, it is the deep water area, and the 'psychic' is terrifying The possibility of existence has increased significantly... My data is already a bit scary, probably almost reaching the abyss level? In the abyss, everything I see is terrifying!"

Fang Xian sneered, he was suppressed by a sixth-level personality, so he was not very afraid.

At this point, I couldn't help but focus on the hymn to the worm.

"If the anomalies in this town and the Kailuo manuscript are really related to the "Secret Gu Manual"... then the two probably come from the same source, and my Worm Hymn should be able to sense it..."

Thinking of this, Fang Xian no longer hesitated, and recited the mantra in a low voice:
"It's a hymn to the giant worm."

"The worm turns into hair and whiskers, and merges with you in the dream, making you hear the sigh of the night..."

"Crazy sea waves, huge gasps, tearing apart the worm's body, because one worm dies, and a thousand worms come back to life!"

He had tried this spell a long time ago, but it didn't have much effect.

Because there is still one element missing, a kind of 'life force'!
