The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

The dining car is full of diners at the moment.

Because this train is overcrowded, there are also two dining cars, located at one end of the train and one at the end.Siles and the others chose the dining car at the front of the car.

Alva found a table for four with sharp eyes, and went over to occupy a seat first.Siles and the others went to choose food.When they came back, Siles saw Alva arguing with someone red-faced.

Siles couldn't help frowning, walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Standing in front of Alva was a middle-aged man, his face looked very old and haggard, and his clothes were poor.He was arrogant when facing the young Alva, but after Siles came over, his momentum slipped instantly.

Siles felt that the man looked familiar for a moment, but he didn't know where he had seen him for a while.

"Uh, uh...sir, it's like this." The man pointed to Alva and said, "This little guy has taken our place, which should be ours...do you understand?"

Siles glanced sideways at the dining table, there was nothing on it, it was empty.There was nothing to back up the man's words.Besides, should it be right?

Siles said, "This little fellow is my companion, do you understand?"

The middle-aged man blushed, and after a while, he suddenly lost his temper and said angrily, "All right, I'll do as you please."

Then he left.

Alva said angrily from the side: "I clearly told him that my companion has already gone to pick out food, but he is still chattering that I snatched his seat... What are you kidding! Don't you know before you sit down?" Ask if anyone is here!"

He grumbled, looking really pissed off.

"You really impress me." A low laugh came from behind Siles.

He turned sideways, and sure enough, he saw Cindo standing there, looking at Sirius thoughtfully.After a while, Qin Duo said again: "I didn't expect you to be so tough."

Siles fell silent for a moment.For a moment, he felt that he really couldn't handle someone like Qin Duo.It seems that everything is divided into interesting and boring in his eyes.

Because of Siles' previous "judgment", because of his understanding of Huddoka, and because of his various performances after he came to the Land of No Embers, Qindo thinks he is interesting and is willing to make friends with him.

Because "Fate Cards" is interesting enough, Qindo is even willing to exchange a few words with Chester and Alva.

It's no wonder, Siles thought, that the people of the Everlands consider Cyndo to be too arrogant and difficult to get along with.He seems to have his own set of survival logic and values.

But for Siles, no matter what kind of person Qin Duo is, at least Qin Duo is his traveling companion now.

So Siles just nodded calmly, and said, "Come and eat."

The smile in Qin Duo's eyes froze.He seemed about to say something, and seemed to feel that his "interest" was interrupted by Siles' dull, calm reaction.He didn't seem to understand why Siles could act so flat.

After a while, Cindo sat beside Sires as if nothing had happened.

Alva had already shut his mouth, and looked at them with a blank, ignorant gaze.

Then, he said, "You...have a fight?"

Siles and Cendo looked at him inexplicably at the same time.

Young Alva tilted his head in distress.

Having no idea what happened, Dr. Chester came over with a plate of food, sweating profusely, and said, "Huh! It's really hot on the train!"

indeed.Siles thought.

He was sitting by the window, and at this moment he just slightly turned his head, and he could see the withered scenery outside the window.

It was dusk, and the whole world was shrouded in a dim, hazy light.The world seemed to be slowly falling into a deep sleep, but the withered and yellow land and the deserted surface gave Sirius a feeling that the world seemed to be dying.

It was the evening of October 10rd.Not long after Anti-Nam's birthday, the world will usher in a cold winter.

If they were outside the speeding train at the moment, the temperature they felt might be around ten degrees.But inside the train, the temperature was much higher, at least twenty degrees.

This is not due to the air conditioner, but the extremely high heat released by the fast-burning coals.

Siles even spotted some shirtless men among the passengers.He himself was only wearing a light cotton jacket and a coat.He had bought this coat at the October Fair.

The vast majority of passengers on the train are men.Women are extremely rare.Not for nothing.Siles saw several pairs of explorers traveling together, a man and a woman, probably husband and wife.

The gender concept of this era has not yet opened up to the point where unmarried men and women travel together.Of course, it's not impossible, but it will be considered a very deviant behavior.

On the way back to the No. 19 car after leaving the dining car, they saw many couples exploring together in the car along the road.

They even encountered the man who almost quarreled with Alva again. He was standing beside a woman, talking softly, his eyes full of fear and tension.

Is that his wife?A trace of doubt arose in Siles.The man's performance was too panic, it seems that the relationship with that woman is worth pondering.

Moreover, a middle-aged couple.Siles thought.Their age can be compared to Eric Colrens and his wife.Why did they set foot on the train to the Never Embers this winter?

At the same time, Siles also noticed that Alva would occasionally stare at the couples traveling together for a while, seeming to be a little concerned about this matter.

He didn't think much of it.Not long after, the four returned to the carriage.

Siles went to the bathroom.There was no possibility of showering in the compartment, so he wiped his body with a wet towel.This forced him to take off his clothes.Thankfully the bathroom has a door lock.

After wiping his body, Siles didn't continue to put on his coat, but just put on the top and returned to the box.None of the companions planned to continue playing cards. At this moment, they were lying quietly on the bed, either reading books or newspapers, looking very leisurely.

The sky outside the window slowly darkened.Siles also climbed onto his bed softly.

Qin Duo, who was on the upper bunk, noticed his movement, looked up, and nodded casually at him.Those emerald green eyes always gave Sirius a strange admiration under the dim light.

Both Chester and Alva were in the lower berth.The difference in height made Siles feel in a trance. They seemed to be back on the train from Lamifah City to Malz City. There were only him and Cindo in the box, and Cindo was lying opposite him, reading quietly. with.

He seems to be reading a newspaper.

... Where did the newspaper come from?Siles thought a little curiously.

Qin Duo seemed to finish reading one, and then noticed Sirius' gaze.He looked up again, and after a while, he leaned out and handed one of the newspapers to Siles.

The bunks are just wide enough for them to pass newspapers.

"Thank you." Sirius whispered.

Qin Duo smiled faintly.He sat there with his back against the wall, one leg folded on the bed, the other leg bent up, the newspaper on his lap.

Siles sat cross-legged.Because Cendo was just opposite, his sense of presence always appeared in the corner of Siles' line of sight.Despite the silence, it is still so obvious.

But when Siles settled down to read the newspaper, he gradually ignored the existence of Qindo.

The newspaper was the Constance National.Siles once found clues about the tribal ruins that Alfonso Carlyle announced in the "National Newspaper" on April 393, 4 in the Mist.

It is not known where Gyndo got the paper.Siles thought.Maybe somewhere in the corner of the dining car?

The date of this paper is not very new. It was published on October 10, that is, yesterday, the day they arrived in Malz.

The news in the newspapers clearly distinguishes several major events.

The Grayson event on October 10; the God's Birthday celebration on October 19; the development plan of the Blight Wasteland announced by the Grand Duke.These three things are in no particular order, and each occupies a large space in the newspaper.

From the newspaper, Siles learned that the investigation team in Lamifa City has confirmed that the Grayson incident is related to some "special people" in the Land of Never Embers, so the authorities are sending an investigation team to Land of Never Embers .

Because this matter is directly related to the food of the residents of Lamifa City, people are obviously very concerned about this matter.However, if it is really possible to investigate the ins and outs of the whole matter within a short period of time... Siles doesn't have much hope.

There are two different investigation directions here, one is the mysterious organization that Boleyn Elgar joined; the other is the source of the mysterious portrait.

Although the latter is more direct and dangerous, it is obvious that the former is easier to investigate and easier to obtain the results of the investigation.

…… To let Siles say, he may add a third direction of investigation, which is what Elgar said, "They are one after all".Still, such an investigation may appear more dangerous.

Siles shook his head, and didn't expect to get any useful information from the newspaper.Obviously, if he wanted to know the inside story, it would be better to ask Dominic directly after he returned to Lamifa City.

Another thing in the newspaper that attracted Siles' attention was naturally the development plan of the withered wasteland.

There is nothing to say about the celebration of God's birthday, it is nothing more than praising Anti-Nam.However, Siles also sighed a little, because judging from certain words, people in this world are indeed sincerely grateful to Anti-Nam.

This honeymoon period between humans and gods has lasted at least 400 years.But the future?

No one knows what the future will hold.

Siles himself still has a good impression of Antinam and the Church of the Past, but he has always remained vigilant.

After all, to this day, he still doesn't know whether Antinam is really related to his time travel, and whether the overly friendly attitude of the church in the past was simply based on the fact that he provided information about the apostate .

In any case, his understanding of the world is still not deep enough.

The Endless Land may allow him to understand the world faster.Siles thought inadvertently.After all, the Land of Never Embers hides the most important secret of this world - the Fall of the Gods and the Fall of the Mist in the Age of Silence.

Siles just wandered off for a moment, then continued to read the newspaper.

Regarding the development plan of the withered wasteland, many things have been started now, and the first thing that catches people's eyes is more train lines and track laying.

Now the residents of the Duchy of Constance want to go to the Land of Never Embers, they have to transfer to other train lines in the border cities.

Along with the progress of the development plan of the Blighted Wasteland, Duke Const intends to open a direct train line to Galsworth, the land of no embers, in Ramifa City and some other important cities.

According to the news in the newspaper, several private railway companies have already started bidding.Newspapers also mentioned the impact of this matter on driving domestic employment, consumption, and so on.

It is obvious that many workers are needed to lay the railroads; and it is impossible for the workers to earn money without spending it.Many businessmen have already begun to move around.

The railways in the Principality of Const are all privately owned. For example, the "Light of the First Snow" train that Siles is riding at the moment is owned by the "Dexter Railway United Company".

The Dexter Railroad United Company is a behemoth in Fisher's world. Its tentacles of influence spread across various countries, and most of the railways in the Never Embers are operated, developed, and operated by it.

For a long period of time in the past, Grand Duke Const had to negotiate with this company and then distribute the benefits before finally announcing the detailed plan.

But... Siles couldn't help thinking that according to some information he had received before, such as what Angela said and the hint from the Grand Duke Const at the dinner party, the Grand Duke also intends to carry out some development work in the city of Ramifa.

This kind of development is obviously an opportunity for some new, small companies to take advantage of.

subway.Siles speculated about this possibility with great interest.Is it really possible to move in this direction?

If this is the case...then the underground passage in the West City has become a big problem?It is also underground. If Grand Duke Const really wants to develop the subway, it will conflict with the territories of those underground gangs.

I have to admit that at this moment, Siles hopes that the Principality of Const will rectify those underground gangs.But at the same time, he is also well aware that the chaotic West City also has chaotic order, which is the existing strength and background of that area.

Thinking of this, Siles couldn't help but sighed in a low voice.

He finished the newspaper, closed it, looked up and was about to return it to Qindo, but found that Qindo had already lay down on his side with his back to him, as if he was going to sleep.

Siles couldn't help but startled, opened his pocket watch to check the time, and found that he spent more time reading the newspaper than he expected.It is now nine o'clock in the evening.

He folded the newspaper for the time being.He glanced at the bed and finally placed it casually under the pillow.He got out of bed lightly, went to the bathroom to wash up, then returned to room 901, and fell asleep as well.

The next morning, Sirius awoke to a piercing, faint scream.

"What's going on?" he asked almost instinctively, sitting up.

Opposite him, Cindo was sitting on the edge of the bed, shrugged, and said, "I don't know. The conductor yelled if there was a doctor, so Doctor Chester followed them. Alva was also woken up, Also followed.

"As for me. I would have liked to join in the fun, but...Professor Noel, to be honest, I'm surprised you're not awake under the circumstances. So I'll just stay here in case you come out What's the matter?"

So, Siles thought, neither Chester nor Alva was in the box.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Siles ignored Qindo's taunt, just thanked him softly, then climbed out of bed, went to the bathroom first, let the cold water wake him up.

When he was fully awake and returned to room 901, Alva also hurried over and said, "Someone died."

Siles stopped buttoning his coat and asked in surprise, "Who?"

Alva was a little bit embarrassed, and finally said: "The middle-aged man who quarreled with us yesterday."

Siles frowned slowly.

Qin Duo said thoughtfully: "So it seems...we are suspects?"

Alva sighed: "One of them." His expression looked a bit depressed, but suddenly, his emotions became agitated again, "Speaking of which, the dead bodies on the train, the suspects with different identities—really A perfect detective story scene!"

Siles and Cendo remained silent.

Alva glanced at the two of them, shook his head pretending to be deep, and said, "It would be great if the doctor was here at this time. He will definitely agree with me. As for the two of you..."

He showed a provocative expression that was full of exaggeration.

Siles ignored the young boy's desire to show off.He just said, "Where's Chester?"

Alva sighed extremely bored, and then said, "The doctor was just called for an autopsy."

Siles pondered for a while, and then asked with some confusion: "Then who made the scream I heard just now?"

According to Alva, Chester was called over just to conduct an autopsy.But when Siles was awakened by the scream, only him and Qindo were left in box 901.

The timing was obviously wrong.When was the body discovered?Wasn't that scream the cry of an eyewitness?

"It seems to be the wife of the deceased," Alva said. "She cried out in fright when she saw her husband's body, and now she has passed out. The conductor is still waiting for her to wake up and ask for the identity and information of the deceased."

Only then did Siles understand.But he still felt a little confused - the wife of the deceased?Why didn't the lady stay with her husband?

He thought as he buttoned the top button of his coat.He glanced at his pocket watch and found that it was only six o'clock in the morning.The sky outside the window was still gray, as if the train was driving through thick fog.

Alva's words interrupted his train of thought: "Professor, Mr. Qinduo, since you are all awake, come with me. The train conductor has to ask us about related matters."

Siles nodded, and followed Alva's footsteps with Cendo.

The deceased had previously slept in compartment 3.But now the body has been removed.There was a faint restless atmosphere in the No. 3 carriage, as well as a lot of whispering voices.

Everyone seems to be curious and horrified by a human death.

Alva took them to the dining car at the front of the entire train, which was where they ate last night.Now, the body is placed on one of the dining tables.At first glance, the surface of the corpse was not traumatized.

The expression of the deceased was fixed on horror and disbelief.Overnight, a fresh life becomes a withered corpse.

Siles felt that the atmosphere in the dining car was very stiff and cold, everyone seemed hesitant to speak but didn't know what to say.

Chester was wearing medical gloves and had some utensils by his hand. It seemed that he had carried out a very careful examination of the corpse.He stood there expressionless, looking more dazed than genuinely indifferent.

His clothes were a little messy, and he looked very embarrassed. He was probably dragged over for an autopsy before he woke up.I'm afraid he himself didn't think of such a thing as being able to conduct an autopsy on the train even though it was just a trip.

At this moment, there are not only corpses, Chester, Siles, etc. in the dining car.In fact, it seemed extraordinarily lively and crowded here.

Several men were standing aside with pale faces, as if they were shocked by the death on the train.Several other conductors stood expressionlessly in a corner of the dining car.

Compared with the conductors on the previous train who were even a little helpless in the face of the theft, these conductors who professionally traveled to and from Neverland seemed to be much more serious and indifferent.Facing Sires' eyes, their eyes were only very polite and gentle.

There was another lady who was sitting quietly at the moment, weeping in a low voice with her head bowed.She was wearing a very plain black dress with some patches.That must have been the dead man's wife, the source of the screams Sirius had heard.

He noticed especially that this lady was the same person they saw along the way yesterday when they returned to the box from the dining car.At that time, the deceased was beside her... talking to her in an attitude that was almost terrified.

Siles turned his eyes around them, and then looked at the corpse.He took a closer look, especially the dead man's face distorted by fear and death.

When he met this middle-aged man in the dining car yesterday evening, Siles felt that he seemed familiar.

Now, when he saw this man again—especially his distorted face, Sirius finally realized where he had seen this man.

One of the two suspects who stole the astrologer Heidi's star chart.On the previous train, the man had angrily quarreled with the conductor and another suspect, and firmly denied his suspicion.

The face distorted by anger was completely similar to the face distorted by pain to some extent, so Siles immediately remembered it.

He didn't realize this yesterday, because he didn't actually observe the appearance of the two suspects very carefully.At the time his attention was on what Heidi had said.Until now, he still doesn't know the whereabouts of the astrologer Heidi.

Will she be on this train?Siles thought so in his heart.

Aware of the deceased's identity - or a certain part of his past, Sirius began to wonder if it might have something to do with his death.But how did the deceased die?

Before Siles could come up with a trick, suddenly, two conductors walked towards them.

One of them said in a polite but indifferent tone: "Mr. Noel?" Seeing that Siles nodded, he turned to look at Cindo, "Praya...Mr.?"

It seemed the conductor was aware of Gyndo's reputation.

Qin Duo also nodded.

The conductor said: "We hope to know something from you two. Can you come with us?"

Alva said from the side: "Don't be afraid, we were asked about it just now."

Siles glanced at him and thought to himself, you might as well not have said it.He sighed at the young man's recklessness, and then whispered, "Of course."

Qin Duo continued to nod, looking like he didn't bother to speak at all.However, his eyes occasionally lingered on the corpse for a moment thoughtfully.It seems that Qin Duo is also aware of the identity of this man.

The conductor took them to an empty compartment nearby.Then one person was in charge of recording, and the other was in charge of asking questions. It seemed that they took this murder incident very seriously.

They naturally asked about what happened in the dining car yesterday.Siles also told the truth.Qin Duo had no contact with the deceased, so there is nothing to say.

After recording, the conductor said gently: "Your statement matches that of others. We don't think you are suspected of murder. However, your small conflict with the deceased will still be recorded. Maybe you will still be needed in the future." Cooperate with the investigation."

Siles nodded.

He thought to himself, in this day and age, there is probably no investigation of alibi, motives for killing, etc.?

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "However, Mr. Conductor, I have something else I want to tell you."

The conductor learned this by accident.

"Cendo and I," Siles looked sideways at Cendo, "we came to Malz by train from Lamifah City together. On that train, we once had an encounter with the deceased. Fate... no, it should be said, coincidence."

The conductor looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Can you elaborate?"

"Of course." Siles said. "On that train, a lady named Heidi was stolen. It is said to be a piece of cloth embroidered with a star map. I know the lady, so I talked to her." for a while.

"At that time, the deceased was one of the suspected suspects. However, the theft incident was not resolved, and Ms. Heidi did not seem to intend to pursue the matter."

The two conductors looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help saying, "From this point of view, the death of the deceased may be..."

Another conductor was older and calmer. He shook his head, just recorded the matter, and then said in a deep thought: "We will try to find this Ms. Heidi and whether her stolen star map is Really on the dead.

"However... your destination is the Land of No Embers. In other words, that star map is...?"

"Timeline," said Siles, "that's true."

The train conductor frowned even tighter, as if he had thought of some possibility.

Siles also understood his thoughts, and he asked: "Are you thinking that it might be caused by the out-of-control timing? However, I would like to ask, what is the cause of death of the deceased?"

The two conductors looked at each other, hesitated, and looked a little hesitant.

At this time, Qin Duo said: "Suffocation."

Siles looked sideways.

There was a casual and joking smile on Cendo's face, and he seemed very satisfied with the situation that "the conductor didn't tell Siles, but he told Siles".

But Siles suspects that he just finds this kind of situation very interesting, and sometimes Qin Duo has a wicked taste of deliberately dismantling the stage.

"There were choke marks on the neck of the deceased, and he was strangled to death," Cindo said.

Siles couldn't help frowning, and murmured in a low voice: "But, strangle? Didn't the dead resist? In a carriage..."

In a carriage, someone is strangled to death, and the rest know nothing?Did the deceased make no movement when he died?

The conductor looked at Qin Duo helplessly, and finally sighed, as if he didn't want to provoke the evil star.Finally, he said: "Sir, please keep this matter private. We don't know what the whole situation is like yet."

Siles came back to his senses and naturally nodded in agreement.

They got up and left the box.One of the conductors went in the other direction, apparently to investigate something else—was Heidi on this train?Siles thought.

The other conductor returned to the dining car.Siles and Qindo followed behind him, and the conductor didn't stop him, it seemed that he let the flow take its course.

The time slowly came to seven o'clock, and the sky outside gradually brightened, but the fog was still thick.Perhaps they should be thankful that the mist was just an ordinary morning mist, not any special mist.

But even so, the thick white mist still covered Siles' heart with layers of haze.

When they returned to the dining car, the corpse was still there. Dr. Chester was sitting alone and had already put away the medical utensils, but his expression still looked very dazed and he hadn't recovered.On the contrary, Alva was full of energy and was looking in another direction with great interest.

Opposite him, the conductors were questioning the lady and the men.When Siles and the others came back, such inquiries had already come to an end.

Siles didn't quite understand.But he glanced at Alva, knowing that this young man must have heard the whole process, so he was not in a hurry—to be honest, he was a little confused, let alone Dr. Chester, why the conductors let Alvarius Listen here?

Sure enough, when the conductors asked them all to return to the box, waiting for the results of the follow-up investigation, and after they returned to the box, Alva shared everything he heard in the dining car with a slightly excited tone.

"I can't believe it. If I knew that going out to play is such an exciting thing, I tried to convince my parents early in the morning." Alva said, "Well-of course, I don't disrespect the dead. Death is one thing, But the living ones are another matter."

He said so, but both Sirius and Cinder just stared at him very calmly.

Alva muttered something, and then said: "Okay! Let's get to the point, what did the conductor ask the lady and the men.

"Those men are actually the roommates of the deceased. According to the lady, she and the deceased were husband and wife. But since there are at least four people in the sleeper car, and they don't have much money to buy all four berths, so They each buy their own tickets.

"The woman was living with other women and the deceased was living with the men. They would meet a few times during the day, such as at meals, but mostly separated.

"Last night, they parted after dinner. The lady said she didn't know about our encounter with the deceased. She said they had agreed before getting on the bus that the deceased would occupy a seat in the dining car, and then The lady will go to him.

"Because the deceased didn't expect there were so many people in the dining car, they didn't have dinner at the first time. The two waited for a while hungry, so they had a little conflict.

"Er...here, said the lady, they had a silent dinner and then went back to their boxes without staying together.

"Then, this morning, after she woke up, she came to the dining car to have dinner with her husband, but unexpectedly saw her husband's body here...it was really scary."

No wonder that scream was so harsh, Sirius thought, nodding thoughtfully.I'm afraid no one would have guessed that I just went to the dining car for breakfast as agreed, but saw the dead body of my husband who was still alive last night on the dining table...

Thinking about it, Sirius also felt his hair stand on end.

Alva couldn't help but paused, and then continued: "As for the deceased's roommates. They just met yesterday, and they don't know the deceased at all.

"They just said that the deceased's temper was not very good, and he seemed to have some... er, bad living habits. He lived in a ten-person room, and one upper bunk was empty, so everyone could pile things up.

"The dead man was the lower berth of the empty upper berth. He put his own luggage on the upper berth and refused to let others put their luggage... It seemed a bit strange. The two berths were next to the door.

"...Maybe you haven't seen the room of ten people. There is no very independent and private box like ours. Their box is more like a thin wooden board, and the bed frame is fixed on the floor.

"There are no locks like ours. They are all open. So people can come and go freely. The deceased's roommates all said they didn't hear anything last night.

"The bed of the deceased was originally by the door of the carriage, maybe someone could easily walk in, kill him, and then leave..."

As he spoke, Alva's tone became lower, as if he finally understood that a living person had died.They are in reality, not some thrilling reasoning or adventure novel.

They were all silent for a moment.

Afterwards, Siles asked with some doubts: "Even so, didn't the deceased make any struggling sounds when he was killed?"

At this time, Dr. Chester breathed a long sigh of relief, and he said: "There is no sign of struggle on the body of the deceased, and the handprints on his neck... are very deep, and there is no trace of movement. I suspect that the deceased was buried It is very likely that he died of suffocation in ignorance."

"Poison?!" Alva exclaimed.

Even Qin Duo was a little interested. He asked, "How did you find out?"

Chester glanced at him, and then said with a bit of professional confidence: "I am a doctor with a professional background. During the autopsy, I noticed that his nails were gray.

"This is a relatively obvious sign...Of course, it would be great if a more detailed blood test can be carried out later. I am only making judgments based on experience now, and it may not be accurate.

"In short, it is very likely that he ate the plants of the genus Hymenia. It is hard to say which one, but the plants of this genus basically have hallucinogenic, hypnotic, anesthetic and other effects, so he may not even know that someone is Kill him."

With that said, Chester couldn't help but sighed.

Siles frowned, feeling something subtly wrong.After a while, he finally realized where the strangeness came from, and he said, "But...if someone can drug him, why do you have to strangle him yourself?"

They looked at each other.

Siles explained his thoughts in more detail: "The deceased was poisoned, which means that he has no defense against drugs and toxins in this area.

"And since the person who poisoned him used this plant, it means that he has some understanding of plant toxicity, and he can use more toxic or other deadly drugs.

"And, doctor, according to what you said, the effects of this type of plant are hallucinogenic and hypnotic. Don't you think that the purpose of using such plants is
