Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 17 In the Dark (asking for double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

Fuck!

Although Lumian had the idea of ​​taking a risk, he had not really made up his mind. When the white candle suddenly went out, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, and subconsciously activated the black mark on his right shoulder to "teleport" directly out of the underground tomb.

At this time, he felt a bone-corrosive coldness in the palm of his right hand, which caused a slight tingling.

This made him more clear-headed, and he did not find any other bad changes in his body.

Sure enough... Lumian regained his composure in an instant and gave up the idea of ​​using the "spiritual shuttle" ability.

His guess was confirmed!

He quietly clenched his right palm to prevent the prominent "Underworld Man" seal traces from being "seen" by other things in the dark.

After being mistaken for the same kind by the old, decayed, and obviously abnormal tomb manager, Lumian suspected that this was caused by the "Underworld Man" seal.

You know, the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain" is closely related to the "Underworld Man", and one of the important reasons for the construction of the Trier Catacombs should be to seal the spillover effects of the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain". The catacombs managers will also take turns to guard the huge tomb leading to the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain".

Since the catacombs managers who have undergone the mutation can walk in the darkness of the catacombs without carrying a lit white candle and will not disappear, then theoretically, I who have been sealed by the "Underworld Man" should be able to do so!

Of course, this is very risky. If you guess wrong, even the traces of your existence will die together, so that Lumian has obviously had crazy ideas, but he still can't make up his mind.

In the pure darkness where his eyes can no longer see anything, Lumian feels like he is in the underground river of Trier, surrounded by cold, wet, heavy and dead silence.

But his breathing did not become difficult. His body and soul were absorbing air from the thick dark "water" in a strange way to maintain their own existence.

He seemed to have become a fish at the bottom of the deep water.

The darkness was indeed like a stream of water, covering and pressing down layer by layer, isolating this space from the surrounding area and the outside world.

The next second, Lumian heard the hoarse and indifferent voice of the old administrator:

"During this period, three people tried to get close to the spring, but I stopped them."

Three people... Lumian was refreshed and said:

"Which three people?"

"One was a follower of darkness and death with a 'hunter'." The old administrator described it in his own way.

The follower of darkness and death with a "hunter"... Isn't this me and Ms. "Hela", no, Ms. "Hela" and me? Do you still remember us... Lumian first realized it, and then complained in his heart.

He had previously thought that this old administrator was different from the more active administrators such as Kendall, and was close to the state of a corpse. He did not recognize people by eyes, but by sensing their breath. When Lumian entered the catacombs and came to the "Old Ossuary Entrance", he met two catacombs administrators who were showing visitors around. They did not regard him as a kind of person, but reminded him to try not to wander around alone and to keep the white candles burning and lighting.

"Who is the other one?" Lumian asked.

Is it Harrison, or Monite, the incarnation of Amon who is active in the catacombs?

The old catacombs administrator said woodenly and hoarsely:

"An outsider, his feeling is very close to us, but there are some differences, so I stopped him."

Feeling very close... different places... outsider... Lumian chewed on these descriptions for a while and thought that it was most likely Harrison, a visitor from Easter Island!

"What does he look like?" Lumian controlled his inner emotions and asked further in a calm manner.

His sight could not penetrate the darkness, and he could not even see the outline of the old administrator, but he could clearly sense that the other party was in front of him, no more than two meters away.

He then heard the old administrator answer:

"I have been an administrator for too long, so long that I have forgotten many, many things.

"Even death itself will disappear here, let alone our memories.

"I don't remember what he looks like, I only know that he looks different from us Intis people, and he doesn't look like Loen people or Feysac people."

After a short pause, the tomb administrator said in a flat tone:

"I should go back and rest..."

Lumian did not dissuade him, nor did he ask again.

This is because although he did not hear footsteps or feel any movement in front, he suddenly had a very clear thought:

"That person has left."

He doesn't look like an Intis person, Loen person, Feysac person... an outsider... has been to the fourth floor of the catacombs in recent months...Lumian went over the answer of the tomb administrator just now in his mind again and again.

Suddenly, he thought of something:

Franka mentioned that she met a man in the catacombs who was suspected to be from the world of "Tianshi", that is, the world before they crossed over, and her judgment was based on the fact that the other person looked very similar to the people in that world, and there was a certain difference between him and the people of Intis, Loen, Feynaport and Feysac!

"So, the person that Franka met was the one that the old administrator persuaded to leave? And that person is likely to be Harrison, a visitor to Easter Island...

"Easter Island is actually a node where two worlds meet?

"The reason why the sea chart leading to Easter Island is wrong is that there is no mystical content attached. Even if you reach the predetermined sea area, you will only encounter dangers and cannot see the target?

"This can well explain the divination result of Franka's "sea chart is true" and the example of adventurers not being able to find Easter Island. The sea chart is indeed true, but it does not record the method of opening the "island door"!

"If this is true, the reason why Franka and others were crossed and the purpose of the Easter Islanders appearing in the north and south continents should have a deeper explanation...

"The good thing now is that Franka has seen a person who looks like Harrison, and a corresponding portrait has been drawn through the ceremony, which will help us find the target later.

"Hehe, during that exploration, Franca and Janna obtained a lot of key information about important things, which was full of arranged atmosphere.

"This may not be done by that person, but it is likely related to the incarnation of Amon who often appears here..."

The most puzzling thing for Lumian now is why the "True Creator" or Amon would attach importance to this matter. The "help" they provided before was basically related to fighting against the evil gods outside the barrier, and did not involve the problems of another world.

"Well, is that Tianzun considered an evil god outside the barrier?

"He came from the world of 'Tianshi'?

"Is this also considered part of the invasion of the evil gods? "

Lumian made a guess and considered another question:

Whether to tell this to Franka, to "007", to Ms. "Hela", and to other members of the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society".

Lumian could already imagine what the scene would be like at that time:

Some members of the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society", including Franka, went out to sea frantically and one after another, looking for the Easter Island marked on the nautical chart, but it was dangerous if they couldn't find the Easter Island, and it was even more dangerous if they found it!

And Lumian wanted to see Franka maintain her current state:

Except for being entangled in gender, she was always happy.

After a while of silence, Lumian laughed slightly out of control, and whispered to himself in the dark underwater environment:

"Will you not look for a way to revive Auror because of the danger and other people's expectations?

"Will you give up resistance because of the danger and other people's expectations?

"Will you not merge Omibella's blood because of the danger and other people's expectations?

"No!"

Lumian made a decision and began to focus on the surrounding environment.

He couldn't see anything, but he vaguely felt that there were figures wandering in the darkness, and that there seemed to be a pair of hands reaching out to him, grabbing his arms, ankles, neck, and body, but there was no real impact.

No, one thing was that Lumian was obviously colder. With the physical characteristics of the "Reaper", he could hardly help shrinking his pores and trembling slightly.

He also heard a series of erratic, painful, and desperate cries, but he couldn't tell which direction they came from.

"Are these the people who disappeared in the catacombs before?" Lumian tried to listen carefully, find one or two missing people, and figure out their current status, but it didn't work.

Suddenly, he shuddered.

The coldness and silence filled his mind.

His thinking became a little dull, and his memories of some things became a little fuzzy.

"The seal of the 'Underworld Man' only prevented me from disappearing on the spot, even the traces of the past died, but it could not prevent me from being slowly eroded by the anomalies here, just like those tomb managers? Moreover, the speed of my erosion is obviously faster than theirs..." Lumian flicked out a flame and lit the white candle in his hand.

The darkness, coldness, heaviness, dead silence, dampness and other feelings immediately receded with the spread of light.

Lumian stared at the candlelight in his hand, nodded and said to himself:

"Just now I understood the seal of the 'Underworld Man' as an alternative white candlelight. Now it seems that they are different, completely different in nature.

"One comes from the anomaly that is sealed, and the other uses the power of the seal here?"

As his thoughts were in a mess, Lumian held the burning white candle and returned along the original path.

When he returned to the "Old Ossuary Entrance", he saw that the college students had disappeared.

"Were they scared away? "Lumian sneered, slowly left the catacombs and returned to Purgatory Square.

Memorial District, Orosei Street No. 9, Apartment 702.

Franka, who was about to go out to collect information about the "people in the mirror", saw Lumian again.

"Why are you here again?" The "pleasure witch" asked with a slight twitch of her mouth.
