Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 577 Mental Plague

In the manor on the outskirts of the Pass River Valley, Renekton took Bugs Bunny and the crow Anu to enjoy a luxurious dinner made by a circle of undead in the restaurant.

These undead souls specially selected by Crow Anu retained part of their instincts as chefs during their lifetimes. At the same time, they also obtained their lost knowledge from the "Hidden Sage" through secret contract rituals and became qualified chefs again.

After eating and drinking, Renekton put down the tableware in his hand, leaned back on the chair and rubbed his temples. Suddenly, a thick gray mist emerged from his eyes, accompanied by Klein's deep voice:

"Miss Sharon agreed, and she will pass the specific information to you via messenger."

As the words fell, the gray mist in his eyes quickly disappeared.

An angel ran out to rob, which always feels a bit embarrassing. Well, I can't say robbery. I went to snatch back the plundered property in the Southern Continent, which makes it easier to speak.

After gathering his thoughts, Renekton raised his hand and rubbed Bugs Bunny's head and said:

"What are those two crafter cats doing lately?"

Bugs Bunny put down the green fruit he was holding, reached out and patted his belly and said:

"Hiccup~ Ritz seemed to say last time that they were developing a radio receiver that can directly transmit sound. No, it's called a wireless radio."

"They've invented machines that can record sounds and play them back over and over again, as well as machines that can play back simple images."

Renekton raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's so efficient."

"Because there are many people from the Domus Ascetic Order here, they can make the knowledge instilled by the 'Hidden Sage' have a certain direction by repeating a single prayer a lot."

"This is what Ms. Glenn said when they communicated. She also said that the danger of 'knowledge chasing people' will not be reduced because this is the necessary price to obtain knowledge through shortcuts."

As he spoke, Bugs Bunny shook his head, looking like he was trying to remember.

Crow Anu then said:

"Ms. Grant and the people from the Church of Knowledge are experimenting with using the power of 'Light Chasers' to replace steam engines and gas. Recently, Impas has been filled with the breath of the sun, and all the undead that were originally entrenched in the city have escaped."

"Well, I probably understand." Renekton nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to pinch Bugs Bunny's ears, and continued: "Go and inform Miss Grant tomorrow that I have found a helper for her who is very good at mechanics. Remember to give her The other person makes up an identity.”

"Put it on me." Bugs Bunny stood on the dining table, hands on hips, and said with his head held high.

In Pulitzer Harbor at night, gas street lamps made of black metal emit a dim light, illuminating the bluestone paved road below.

In the warehouse area some distance away from the dock, on the top floor of a warehouse, countless information flows that cannot be observed by the naked eye pour out from the depths of the spiritual world, and Renekton's figure is reorganized on the top floor of the warehouse filled with wooden boxes.

He looked towards the vent, where Maric, wearing a white shirt and black vest, was leaning against the wall, holding a telescope in his hand and observing the outside environment.

"Good evening, you two."

Renekton nodded to Maric and the shadows beside him.

From the shadows, Sharon's figure, wearing a black soft hat and a palace dress of the same color, slowly emerged. Her face looked paler than before, with a sense of transparency and illusion, like a real ghost of an innocent ghost.

Sharon nodded towards Renekton and said in a soft and restrained voice:

"Good evening, what are you going to do?"

Renekton looked across the wall of the warehouse to the dock area in the distance. His eyes easily penetrated the barrier and saw the steamships docked at the port. The steam vehicles surrounding them, which looked like exaggerated mechanical monsters, were all around. Standing on the top of the building were soldiers carrying steam backpacks and holding thick-barreled rifles.

After briefly observing the surrounding situation, he said in a deep voice:

"I will create enough chaos to make the magical items they brought back from the Southern Continent run out of control. Then I will banish the mummy. As an 'wronged soul', you can freely enter and exit the spirit world, so it should be easy for you to do so." Take that mummy away."

"Okay." Sharon nodded gently.

Renekton raised his right hand, and bits of starlight spilled out from his fingers, condensing into a pair of cold and indifferent eyes covered with starlight.

He flicked his fingers towards Sharon and Maric, and two twinkling starry eyes flew over spontaneously, explaining at the same time:

"This is the 'Eye of Peeping Secrets'. It can help you locate the items that I have banished in the spiritual world. It can also be used as a temporary magical item. I have stored two 'flashes' on it. Once used, it will Will disintegrate within a short period of time, whether used once or twice."

"It's too close to Backlund. If a serious chaos occurs, it is likely to attract the attention of the two angels of the Augustus family."

After Sharon nodded slightly, her figure quickly faded and blended into the dim surrounding environment.

Renekton nodded towards Maric, and his figure quickly disintegrated into streams of complex and pure knowledge, pouring into the spiritual world like a torrent.

On the pier that was under martial law, a hybrid ship with a chimney and sails slowed down from fast to docked little by little.

Before long, a hanging ladder hung down from the ship, and the crew on the ship began to land.

Walking at the front were sailors carrying wooden boxes, and finally a major holding a box made of crystal. He had a serious expression on his face and was surrounded by several crew members, each of whom was holding a box in his hand. The lantern illuminated the crystal box from all directions.

In the spirit world, a light purple flashed across Renekton's eyes, and his eyes became deep and dark.

His eyes lingered on the human skull without any trace of flesh and blood in the crystal box for a long time, and then he looked at the huge iron bucket behind it, which was held by a man in black formal clothes.

The iron bucket is filled with chilly ice cubes, and in the middle of the ice cubes is an arm made of pure gold!

The man holding the iron bucket was walking very quickly, with sweat dripping from his forehead. The ice cubes in the iron bucket he was holding were melting at a faster than normal speed.

Behind him, another middle-aged man in formal clothes got off the boat. In his hand, he held a box made of gold, which was covered with symbols representing the sun, light and purification fields.

Renekton hugged his right hand across his chest. The bronze mechanical glove cracked a mouth-like slit and made a high-pitched, hoarse voice:

"Great Master, that arm placed in the ice cube is a thing of the 'sun' pathway, probably Sequence Five or Sequence Six. Its negative effect is to keep the surroundings in a terrible hot environment and evaporate the surrounding air. The moisture in it ignites the flesh and blood.”

"The skull placed in the crystal box seems to be a combination of the 'Necromancer' and the 'Nightmare'. It will affect the spirits of surrounding creatures and make them die little by little in their sleep."

"The golden box seems to contain the 'Moon Messenger'. That box is too eye-catching, so I'm not sure, but it has the aura of the 'Moon' inside."

"I can't see more clearly unless I can get closer to them."

"Okay." Renekton nodded slightly in response, paused for half a second, and then continued: "Can you make them all active?"

"If I can get up close and personal, I can imbue these objects with soul and make them come alive and become chaotic and crazy."

"Without touching them, I can only affect them by breaking the seals against them."

The mechanical glove tapped its fingers twice, and the sound became a little low.

Renekton nodded slightly, stopped talking, and quietly observed the Loen military moving items from the ship in the spiritual world.

About ten minutes later, four "knights" wearing black full-body armor appeared on the deck of the ship that combined steam and sail. They were carrying a golden coffin, and the deck made a thumping sound with every step they took. .

The surface of the golden coffin will be engraved with patterns such as strange birds, feathered snakes, masks, etc. It looks ancient and mysterious, with a strong highland style.

They hoisted the heavy coffin through a pulley system that had been set up in advance and moved it to a carriage with the roof removed outside the pier.

As the coffin was hoisted by the steel rope, the "knight" wearing black full-body armor on the right front suddenly groaned and fell down without warning.

Bang!

The "knight's" helmet was thrown off, revealing a head with sunken eye sockets, rotten flesh and shriveled flesh, and streams of dark red blood flowing out from the gaps in his armor.

This scene seemed to stimulate the basic spirits of the other three "knights". They roared in collapse, took off their full body armor, ran to the side of the ship, and jumped off without hesitation.

On the outside of the pier, four "knights" in black full-body armor who were preparing to receive the golden coffin witnessed this strange and horrifying scene. The panic and fear in their hearts began to take root and spread rapidly, becoming infected.

The seeds of "mental plague" spread all kinds of mental illnesses and extreme madness with the help of the surrounding collective subconscious sea. Unknowingly, the entire dock was covered with "infectious mental illnesses".

Deep in the spirit world, Renekton's eyes turned into pale gold vertical pupils, and the mechanical glove on his right hand lit up with a burst of gray light, outlining complex and three-dimensional mysterious symbols one after another, extending into the surrounding void. , as if communicating with something that does not belong to the real world.

In the dark and deep sea of ​​collective subconscious, several virtual personalities that look exactly like Renekton appear here. Each personality has obvious emotions on their faces, whether they are angry, happy, or sad.

They turned some of their thoughts into spiritual storms that swept around them, causing the "celestial phenomena" to change rapidly. Their spiritual perception of the surroundings was strongly interfered with, effectively destroying the spiritual barrier.
