Chapter 383 is just that
There is one more thing.
Marty, that dead kid who graffitied on the wall, killed animals and bullied his classmates.
Daisy has confirmed Milo's speculation that Marty is indeed a young psychic.
But the difference is that he is not a spiritual visionary like Milo who was naturally formed by the superposition of unknown factors. Marty was born after tomorrow, at least this is Daisy's view. .
Someone was forcing something on Marty that he wasn't supposed to see. The coincidence is that Marty's own spiritual vision is higher than that of ordinary people. He has the talent in that area, but he does not have the help of a guide like Milo...
So, in the nightmare stage , he became lost and drifted away.
Those distorted and terrifying images for him, such as the doctor operating on Kai, or the black wings attacking the Vampire Manor, were all things he received in his dreams. Unfortunately, at that time He could no longer distinguish between dreams and reality.
To a certain extent, he can now be defined as the so-called "Apostle of Tribulation" in the church's mouth.
But the thinking eye has not yet reached a complete state, and the information Daisy can receive is one-sided and fragmented. In her field of vision, Marty's figure disappeared long ago.
Even... when Milo met Marty for the first and last time in front of Qiao Tinghan Academy, the child could no longer be seen with his thinking eyes.
A very strange idea that had to be re-examined popped up in Milo's mind
-Maybe, maybe Marty who appeared at the gate of the academy was Imnar.
After this crazy idea flashed through Milo's mind, a series of clues and details made sense, especially when Milo had just experienced a strange twist and turns. After the deception, he became even more convinced that this was indeed something Imnar could do.
It can transform into the shape of any life, not only the shape, but maybe even the memory will be inherited.
The child who was beaten up by Finn in front of Jordingham Academy was no longer Marty. The real Marty was in a "replaced" state at that time, so the thoughts on the Star Clock Tower My eyes can no longer capture its figure.
So why does Imnar appear in Milo's life as an annoying child?
It bullied Kai, showed up on his own initiative, and then caused a disappearance.
…
“Rick…”
Milo slapped his forehead.
He finally remembered the note that Rick left in the underground morgue of the law enforcement station.
“Damn it.”
Milo cursed secretly.
In order to find the missing Marty, Milo asked Rick to cooperate and release the spell.
And now, the third series of spells that steal hearts has become a channel for the old ruler to continuously transmit deceitful words to Rick's mind.
…
Milo once again witnessed the bone-deep terror carried by this unique old ruler.
Because when he looked back and carefully reviewed all the things that had happened recently, Milo discovered that almost anyone could be evolved from Imnar.
And when I couldn't distinguish the authenticity from the familiar faces in my memory, and began to immerse myself in a kind of extreme self-doubt, I fell into another trap of Imnar, That's what it emphasized to Milo again and again in the Prayer Square - chaos.
After the sudden realization, there was a profound feeling of heart palpitations.
Milo can only be thankful that he performed dream seduction on Daisy.
On the way back, the reason why Milo was able to see through Imnar's imitation of Marshall was because of the dream-induced connection between him and Daisy, which combined Daisy's uneasiness with Daisy's. The panic was passed on to Milo.
With just this hint of fear and uneasiness from Daisy, Milo smelled a problem.
This has some amazing coincidence with the very beginning - the beginning of it all, when Milo was still a guard in the prison city, he heard something in front of the murder hut that was about to be burned down by the church. He saved Daisy by listening to her cries and prayers, but was also completely involved in this endless disaster...
If we trace the origin, it was the murder that made Milo remember the source of fear in Daisy's heart, so that he had an entry point to realize the dream.
When your vision is not broad enough, all of this can only be attributed to coincidence.
This is why Milo feels very lucky, because after seeing through Imnar once, the same thing will not happen again. The spiritual vision will remember its smell. This is the Red Witch. words of guidance.
…
Of course, the priority is not to remember the past.
If nothing else happens, there will definitely be another accident.
It was already afternoon when Milo returned to the law enforcement station in the south of the city from the dilapidated monastery of the Scarlet Witch's refresh point, and Rick, who left the note early in the morning with an umbrella, has not yet returned. return.
Milo knew that as a half-living corpse, Rick would not die so easily, but it was precisely because of this that it was worth worrying about, because it might lead to more serious consequences.
Looking at everything Imnar has done so far, it is not difficult to find the difference between it and the ancient creatures that Milo has come into contact with in the past, whether it is the Familia or the Old Ones, Even the foreign gods among the ancient gods have one thing in common, which is disdain and contempt for ignorant and lowly human beings. This contempt is not just limited to attitude, but even goes deep into the soul. In their eyes, even Milo is just a slightly larger gravel in the vast dust.
But Imnar is different. It treats Milo as an opponent of almost the same height as it. Its way of thinking, its tricks and methods, and even its soul are more like A human being, through countless imitations, deceptions and substitutions over the long years, has acquired a personality, and once forgot the part that belongs to the godhead - its real name.
It was the first to ask Milo for a confrontation between the Old Ones. And this is exactly what's scary about it.
Milo can no longer backstab a superior as a humble inferior like before. What he is about to face is a person who has both The Great Old One of personality and godhead.
......
"No, what's the benefit of tricking Rick away..."
Milo sat on the autopsy table in the morgue, holding his chin with one hand
thinking seriously about this very puzzling question.
Now that Daisy is awake and Daisy is asleep again, Milo cannot expect her to find Imnar from the city like she opened her eyes, especially since the last time she did this, she was directly killed by Imnar. Munnar reacted and cursed.
And after Imnar learned his true name, its power has far exceeded before. It is too easy to hide it now.
Then using Milo's hand to trick Rick away, regaining his godhood and saying a lot of harsh words, but he has not been seen for a long time, what is the purpose?
What is it waiting for?
In other words, what is it plotting?
“Or is it not Rick that it originally wanted to trick, but me?”
Milo always felt that this was more likely.
The outlines of Eric and several other exiled shadows emerged on the dark morgue wall, gesturing to Milo in sign language——
"The coroner last appeared at the Opera House, where he made a moderate joke, and then disappeared."
Eric turned his attention to other people.
The rest of the people also shook their heads and said that they had not seen Rick.
Henry added: "The Garnier Opera House is open as usual today, and nothing suspicious has been found, at least I haven't."
In addition, Kane, Lao Luo, and Wei Both Er and Jones are still wandering around the city, looking for Rick's whereabouts.
Look at the information reported by the Exiled Shadows.
Milo turned his attention to the handwriting on the message left by Rick. The most conspicuous sentence in it must be -
"Amina finally reunited with her fiancé. Okay, but not everyone can escape the curse of dreams, right?"
There is no doubt that this sentence completely disrupted Rick's thinking.
This sentence is indeed somewhat similar in tone to the long speeches from Imnar that Milo heard in the Prayer Square.
"I'm starting to miss those hunters a little bit."
Eric made a few gestures.
Milo looked up and down at Eric's dark shadow on the wall with an idiot's eyes, and asked, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"It is." Henry on the side agreed deeply.
"I know, that guy gave me a shot, but judging from another angle, he does have some uniqueness in finding people." Eric spread his hands and said that he was just being truthful. Don't mix personal emotions.
"This is a typical scar that heals and forgets the pain." Milo pointed at Eric and said.
The rest of the Exiled Shadows nodded in agreement.
......
Just when "a few people" were chatting happily, Milo turned around and found Enid standing at the entrance of the basement stairs, talking to Milo When their eyes met, the expression on her face was a little confused.
“What?”
Milo asked Enid.
"Ah, it's okay, you're busy."
Enid just left these words and fled back to the first floor, as if she had been frightened.
Listening to the clattering of the little girl climbing the stairs, Milo slowly turned around and murmured to the others:
"How long has she been standing there?"< br>
"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads.
"Strange, why have I been so alert lately..."
Milo rubbed his forehead inexplicably.
The same thing happened twice today, and he didn't notice anyone approaching.
This is not a good sign.
