Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 217 "Nightmare on the Tower"

On the night of September 26, 1998, the "bloodthirsty apostle of pain" fell, marking the completion of the team's attack on the "ancient labyrinth city" in just two days.

This is undoubtedly an incredible feat.

They surpassed the special forces of the United States of Sahelta and were on the right path to chase the "legendary" Dong Fulis.

As for the result of the feat - they got "the herb that cures all diseases", a "green grass" that looks ordinary, but exudes a rich fragrance.

Germain had an inexplicable feeling that they were more like food seasonings than herbs.

After Xiaodi finished harvesting the "herb that cures all diseases", the four members of Germain's team approached the ancient and towering tower.

Countless stones were piled up to build this tall tower, which was now covered with vines and moss. It looked quite old and weathered.

At the top of the tower is a ball that looks like a "gold and silver ingot", but everyone can tell that it is also made of stone just by looking at it.

There is only one gate at the bottom of the tower without a door leaf. Looking inside through the stone door opening, you can see a spiraling stone staircase without handrails.

Jin took the lead to enter the bottom of the tower to explore, and after confirming that there were no dangers such as traps, he walked out.

He said to Germain, who had quickly recovered some of his energy and no longer needed help from others:

"We can go up... Dong Fulisi didn't find any important clues here. Do you think we can find them?"

King now took Germain's views more seriously.

As for the reason, in addition to Germain's strength being recognized by him, there are still many confusing aspects of Germain, such as the "teleportation lantern". Perhaps these will be the key.

Germain raised his head, observed the tower, and said:

"Don Fulisi has probably searched this tower inside and out more than once. If we want to make new discoveries, we need a little luck."

Jin nodded:

"Are you lucky? That's true. Let's go and try our luck as we go. This is the only way we can do it now."

That's what Jin said, but after entering the tower, he stopped every step, almost stopping in front of every brick that looked suspicious to him to observe carefully.

It just so happens that he is a "relic hunter", and he is best at protective archeology that works slowly and meticulously. From time to time, he reaches out his hand and taps gently.

Bisji was taking pictures, and he himself took out the "stereoscopic camera" that had been unblocked from the card state, and he and Bisji took pictures everywhere inside the tower.

But while King comes across as a meticulous archaeologist, Bischi is more like a journalist focused only on the special.

The German team was not short of time, so no one disturbed Jin and Bisji's research on the tower, and they slowly climbed up.

However, some things cannot be determined by their subjective wishes.

When they climbed to the middle of the tower, the side effects of "Sambika's Ultimate Recovery Potion" came - they would feel exhausted for about half a day.

Everyone felt this uncontrollable and full-body tiredness one after another. In the end, they could only give up dawdling in the tower and climb to the top of the tower first.

Resting on the spiral stone staircase is not a good idea, and there are no halls or rooms in the middle of the tower.

When they speeded up the entire spiral stone staircase and came to the inside of the sphere, they found that it was an empty platform with balconies on all sides, and the night wind was blowing through the hall.

Drowsiness hit them like a tide, and their eyelids were about to droop completely, so they decided to have a hasty dinner here and then have a good night's rest.

However, halfway through dinner, Germain felt a bump on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Xiaodi's head tilted on his shoulder.

Xiaodi closed her eyes, but she still held a knife and fork and a plate in her hand. There was curry rice on the plate that she had not finished eating. She even opened her mouth half-open, and there was a small mouthful of rice in her mouth that she had not swallowed.

She stayed in this position and fell asleep without any worries.

Germann had no choice but to ask Bisji to help him put away the cutlery, forks, and dishes. Together, they helped Xiaodi lie down in the sleeping bag, and then took out the mouthful of rice and threw it away.

Xiaodi just frowned during this process, but did not wake up. Instead, she snuggled up to them with confidence, as if they were taking care of a sleeping baby.

After that, the other three people quickly finished their dinner, cleaned up, and went to sleep one after another.

On this high tower, they don't need to stand guard, they just need to maintain a certain degree of vigilance.

"New World Chronicles: Fragment of the East Chapter" records that this tower is the true "safe house".

No matter it is the "painful bloodthirsty apostle", "night attack species" or "gold and silver ingot parasitic species", they will not attack this place for unknown reasons.

Maybe this place is indeed extremely special.

The "safe house" that Higashi Fulisi set up in multiple "cubic stone pillars" was actually inspired by this high tower, where he spent many nights safely.

No matter what, Team Germain has gone through a sleepy and tiring two days, and now they can finally sleep well and relax.

In fact, Jin, Bisji and Xiaodi all got a pretty good sleep on the high tower platform, especially after the wind stopped at night and it was only cool here.

However, Germain had a very bad sleep, and the reason for the poor sleep quality came from his dreams.

He had a nightmare again.

Germain returned to the night when he first came to this world. He walked in the dilapidated courtyard in a daze, and the abandoned clock tower was in front of him.

The difference was that this time there were no members of the "Phantom Troupe" nearby, only himself.

He walked for a long time before walking out of the courtyard - in fact, its area should not be so large. In short, he came to the outside of the courtyard.

However, outside the courtyard was not a mountain or forest, but a dark place, like an unloaded map, with nothing.

Germain didn't know what he was doing here. Dreams always make people do things that contradict the logic of reality.

After a while, he finally saw something.

Germain walked over and squatted down. He saw a pot with a human face placed on the ground. The eyes on the face were closed, but the mouth was open.

He looked at it for a while, and even in his dream, he had a sense of déjà vu for this human face pot.

Just as this feeling arose, the human face on the surface of the pot opened its eyes and looked at Germain.

The next moment, black smoke blew out of its mouth.

The black smoke hit Germain's face.

Germain couldn't help but take a step back, and then he found that he had stood up without knowing when, and was in an environment where there was only a glimmer of light around him.

The human-faced pot had disappeared, and instead the black smoke twisted and changed in mid-air, turning into rolled-up white papers.

They flew past Germain like frightened bats in a cave.

Germain subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and then he saw from the corner of his eye that the notes on the white paper were jumping and twisted, and they were fleeting.

The white paper disappeared into the darkness.

Germain's dream was destined not to stop like this. He noticed that a door floated over from a distance and soon stood in front of him.

The gate was majestic and solemn, with a crest of surging waves engraved on it, emitting a strange power.

Germain involuntarily reached out his hand, wanting to touch it, but in the blink of an eye he found that the gate had disappeared.

A white object appeared on the ground in front of him.

Germain approached and saw that it was the only human torso left after the head, hands and feet were cut off.

And this torso seemed to be alive, throbbing, and the originally pale skin cracked, revealing flesh and blood as bright red as pomegranates, which instantly engulfed Germain's vision.

Germain closed his eyes involuntarily, and then he found that he was not attacked, so he opened his eyes.

This time, the scene in front of him changed again. He was no longer in the dark, but standing on a slope covered with white flowers.

Not far away, a full moon slowly rose, staring at Germain like a huge eyeball, and the scarlet blood filled the eyeball.

What on earth are these...

Excessive knowledge did not allow Germain to accept it easily. He only felt pain and his consciousness became more chaotic.

The whole world began to break at this time, and darkness fell like paint falling, swallowing up everything visible, including Germain himself...

Finally, after a long time, Germain heard someone calling from afar.

"Germain... Germain... Germain?"

He was like a drowning man who finally surfaced. He suddenly opened his eyes and breathed in big gulps of air.

Someone gently supported his back, someone wiped the sweat on his face and neck with a towel, and someone whispered something, but he couldn't hear clearly.

After a while, all human senses returned, and he was able to correctly recognize reality.

The sun shone into the top of the tower, making it bright. The night had long gone. It was now the daytime of September 27th, and it was almost noon.

He was still on the "Tower of the Ancient Labyrinth City" and had never left.

Biscuit was holding his back, Xiaodi was wiping his sweat, and Jin was squatting beside him to ask about his condition.

They stared at Germain with worry.

Two hours ago, they woke up one after another and prepared breakfast. At this time, they realized that Germain was sleeping too deeply, which was not like his style.

So, they tried to wake Germain up in various ways, both rough and gentle, but in the end, it was useless.
