[Comprehensive British and American] Gluttony Queen

Henry, who also had secrets that he could not tell others, did not continue to ask. After Alex made room, he walked out of the coffin.And the moment he stepped out of the coffin, an inexplicable sense of imbalance caused him to stagger, almost falling directly.Alex looked at him inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

Henry also showed a surprised expression. After looking back carefully, he showed a somewhat stupefied and excited expression: "This is really amazing." He hadn't noticed it just now. When he was in the coffin, he didn't There is no feeling of standing, but as if lying down all the time.But at the moment when he walked out of the coffin, because of the change in gravity, he appeared in the unstable situation just now.

Although I am very curious why such an ordinary-looking coffin has such an effect, Henry also knows that now is not the time to pursue this, and the life and death of the two people who disappeared with him are still in a state of uncertainty...Of course, Alex, who was looking at him with a dark face next to him, was the main reason why he woke up.Henry felt that if he really dared to study this coffin here, the young man next to him would probably use his 'weapon' to stab him.

"Let's get to know each other first, my name is Henry Morgan." Henry walked up to Alex and extended his right hand in a friendly manner, "I'm the forensic doctor of the New York Forensic Lab."

"Alex Mercer." Alex didn't intend to shake hands with him at all, "Why did the forensic doctor go to her?"

Henry withdrew his hand in a little embarrassment: "Because we found the body of one of Dr. Angel's patients, we went to her to find out about the situation."

The anxiety on Alex's face became more and more serious: "You obviously disappeared together, why didn't she stay with you?"

Henry shook his head: "I don't know what happened. The last image in my memory is that white light that suddenly appeared, and then I lost consciousness, and I didn't wake up until just now." He saw that Alex was hiding Uneasy in anxiety, he comforted me, "You don't have to worry too much, although I don't understand what happened, but according to what Dr. Angel said before, that white light should be a trap. Since this trap is not fatal Yes, it means that her life should not be in danger now."

Alex heard Henry's words and looked him up and down seriously. This guy was so calm in this situation, and he didn't panic when he saw his claw blade before. This self-proclaimed forensic doctor Men must not be ordinary people.Alex thought for a while, took out the notebook Jenkins gave him earlier from his pocket, opened it, and saw a line of cursive characters that were the same as the one he saw on "Ancient Fairy Tales" before.

' It was not his treasure that the monster rescued from the coffin, but an undead.In order to thank the monster for his help, the undead used his wisdom to find out the hidden clues. '

While Alex was looking at this line of writing, Henry over there had already circled around the wooden house.When he saw the surrounding environment, he had already noticed a little incongruity. In such a dilapidated cabin, there was such a new coffin, which was really strange.

Moreover, since he will be placed in this coffin, it means that he should not be the target of the person behind the scenes.He couldn't have been sent here specially, and the person behind the scenes even brought a coffin here specially for him. No matter how you think about it, it's not right. There must be something special about this place.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the empty coffin that had lost its lid, and then tried to move the coffin from its original place, but found that the coffin remained motionless as if stuck to the wall.

After noticing Henry's movements, Alex walked over, swung his claws and directly chopped the coffin into pieces.

After being stunned for a moment, Henry said with lingering fear: "Your 'weapon' is really sharp." The claw almost pierced his head just now.

Alex didn't pay attention to Henry's words, because after splitting open the coffin, a magic circle exuding an ominous atmosphere was engraved on the wall where the coffin was originally leaning on.When working in that special library, Alex didn't always rush around to save people. He sometimes went to Jenkins' stronghold to ask for records books basically related to magic, just to satisfy his own curiosity. Heart.

And now, the knowledge he had learned before came in handy.Although he doesn't know the specific name of the magic circle in front of him, he can tell from the pattern that it should be a magic circle that absorbs vitality as energy and releases illusions.Those who can use this kind of magic circle are basically not good things.

If it wasn't because Henry was an undead man, he would have been drained of life energy and died long ago.

Knowing the function of the formation, Alex began to destroy the formation.The method of destruction is actually very simple, just destroy the wall engraved with the magic circle.This is not as easy as it seems on the surface. Even if the wall depicting the magic circle is made of wood, it becomes much tougher when the magic power of the magic circle flows. Even Alex's claw blade cannot easily destruction.

When Alex attacked the wall, the surrounding environment also shook slightly like the reflection in the water, revealing a completely different scene between half-empty and half-real.Henry stared dumbfounded at this change, quickly saw what he was looking for, and stopped Alex who was still attacking.

After Alex stopped attacking, the surrounding environment returned to the original cabin.Henry looked in a certain direction and asked Alex: "Mr. Mercer, you just said that the real environment here is covered up by a layer of illusion, right?"

When Alex was attacking the wall just now, in order to let Henry, who is called the undead by the "ancient fairy tale" and is very smart, be able to help, he explained the function of the magic circle on the wall a little bit, and the rationale for what he does now.And Henry also understood what happened to the gravitational chaos he felt before. It was because there was a magic circle behind him that had been absorbing his vitality.

Hearing Henry's words, Alex nodded and asked, "Did you find anything?" He had great expectations for Henry's wisdom praised by the "ancient fairy tale".

Henry's eyes were full of confidence, he looked at the other empty wall, and said with certainty: "Since it's an illusion, it shouldn't be real. I've done some research on this before, If we can believe that all this is an illusion, then those illusions will not work. Am I right, Mr. Mercer."

Alex nodded: "You're right." He had read about this before in books.The books Henry read must be different from his, but the principle is the same.After all, no matter whether it is hallucinations caused by oneself due to mental reasons, or hallucinations caused by external magic circles, they all ultimately act on the optic nerve, which is a type of hypnosis.

"So, Mr. Mercer, do you believe me?" Henry didn't look back, but asked Alex in a very serious tone.

"What do you want to do?" Alex asked back.

But Henry had already heard what Alex meant. He took the other's hand, closed his eyes slightly, and his tone became lighter: "Mr. Moser, please close your eyes and follow my lead." Step, don't think about anything."

Alex closed his eyes as he said, and walked forward following the pulling force from his hand.After walking a certain distance, he felt Henry squatting down, groping for something on the ground with his hands, and then grabbed something and lifted it up. Alex felt a slightly shady air diffuse from below. out.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now, Mr. Mercer." Henry stood up, turned around and said to Alex with a smile, "We have found the entrance."

Alex looked at the entrance of the black hole under Henry's feet, and finally showed a surprised expression: "How did you find this?" Obviously, the illusion around him still exists.

"Mr. Mercer, when you were attacking the magic circle just now, the illusion around you disappeared for a while." Henry explained with a smile, "I found that the place we are in is not a log cabin at all, but a rather large living room. And in that living room, everything looked very brand new, completely untouched, except for one thing... that was the carpet in the center of the living room. It looked in the same style as the surrounding things, But there are slight wrinkles on its carpet surface, as if it is often turned over by people." When he said this, he asked habitually, "Then, under what circumstances would the carpet in the center of the living room be turned over frequently? Woolen cloth?"

Alex didn't respond to him at all.

Feeling embarrassed, Henry no longer kept the joke, and continued: "It's very simple, because there is an entrance to somewhere under that carpet. I completely remembered the scene at that time, and depicted it in my mind. After seeing this picture, then, as long as I convince myself that this picture is the real scene, I can open this entrance."

In fact, Henry himself felt very amazing, because when he checked the cabin before, he had already touched the surrounding walls, and the touch was very real.But after successfully hypnotizing himself, he actually came out through the wall of the cabin.Is this the magic Mr. Mercer mentioned earlier?It is indeed of great research value.

After listening to Henry's explanation, Alex suddenly felt that this guy must have a lot in common with the group of librarians.
