Chapter 1284 1256. Chase
“This is the most dangerous and deepest nightmare.”
Simon said to Lan En, who was half sitting on the tombstone.
“The answer found in this nightmare must be extremely important. That’s why I came here and immersed myself in running around here.”
“You can’t even remember what you were killed by. This nightmare has gone back a few times." Lan En sighed, "How far have you found out about this nightmare?"
Simon shook his head and whispered in frustration: "To be honest, I still don't know clearly."
Everyone in the entire alley died of gray blood disease.
The gloomy sunshine outside cannot shine in, and only a gloomy wind blows the weeds growing in the cracks of the bricks on the alley floor from time to time, carrying the unique bloody smell of gray blood patients.
“I only know that this nightmare lasted from yesterday to the hunting night that burned down the entire old Yharnam.”
“During this period, something must have happened. There have been many sudden and violent changes.”
"But I have said it hundreds of times, but I have never been able to get to the core of the incident and observe what happened. And"
Simon smiled mockingly as he said that.
"I rarely survive until conflicts and accidents break out."
Lan En looked up, a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
Every time I wake up All hunters are aware of the rewinding of time and can continuously accumulate experience.
Even among the Yharnam hunters, few have the experience of fighting to the death as many times as they did.
So their level is completely higher than the general level of hunters.
Hunters like Henryk, who even Irene had to go back several times to have a chance to win, are the aliens among the aliens.
Although Old Yanan is currently suffering from the gray blood disease plague, the situation is not chaotic. How could Simon remain in such a peaceful situation and not even survive until chaos arose?
"This nightmare is dangerous, Lan."
Simon did not directly answer the other party's question, but simply repeated his original words meaningfully.
"Secrets in nightmares. Secrets always have a reason to be secrets. There are always people who don't want the secrets to be revealed. Especially those secrets that are particularly shady."
Someone is in this nightmare. Hunt him down.
Lan En understood what he meant immediately.
Simon said to Lan with warnings and reminders: "The closer I get to the secret, the more dangerous it is. He can always find me, no matter where I am. I don't know how he does it. It’s just that every time before he appears, I hear a ringing sound.”
If Lan En also wants to explore the secret of this nightmare, there is no doubt that he will have the same experience as himself.
"Ringing Sound"
The demon hunter frowned and was confused. He could only first conclude that this was some kind of Yharnan technological product that could target those who wanted to explore a certain secret. people.
"It is because exploring secrets is dangerous, and the hidden knowledge itself is dangerous enough, that I wear these things."
Simon said with a self-deprecating smile. He pulled the bandage on his head that was so dirty that it turned yellow and black.
"I suggest you also prepare. When you feel something is wrong, close your eyes immediately. Don't listen to anything or see anything."
Because the knowledge itself is dangerous, you should treat it with caution.
But if you don’t look at that knowledge, how can you solve the mystery?
Yanan, the irrationality, contradiction, and danger reflected in the current disaster in this city have been fully exposed.
The hunter's actions here are like acrobatics on a tightrope.
If you are not careful, the originally precious sobriety will turn into irreparable corruption and fall into madness.
But Lan En is not too worried about this.
The [Song Gland] in his brain has already demonstrated resistance to mental oppression and distortion in the world of fire.
At that time, Lan En's heart and spirit were infected by the power of darkness just because he saw the inner essence of [Netherworld Saint] Eldridge.
In the process, he showed an endurance beyond ordinary people, until he finally killed Eldridge and completed the purification of his body and mind.
Moreover, Mentos had already developed ways to deal with the scene of spiritual pollution as early as when he dealt with Dagon.
The biochemical brain will intelligently filter images to ensure that things that cause pollution are filtered out in Lan En's eyes.
Double insurance, the demon hunter felt that he had a much better chance of winning than these Yharnam hunters who fought hard with their lives.
“Nightmare.”
Lan En’s fingers tapped lightly on the tombstone half sitting under his butt. The feel of the touch, as well as the people he saw on the road, Young Henrik, Mark.
Can the dream created by the ancient gods really be called an 'illusory dream'?
But then, Lan En shook his head.
"Is there any news that can be communicated?"
The witcher asked Simon cautiously.
Because this information may attract unknown enemies, or the information itself is dangerous, Lan En confirmed it with the other party.
"I can't say too much." Simon said lightly as if he was weak, "I only know now that the Healing Church is organizing a large-scale hunting event, and they have summoned many old hunters. There may also be Baron Weiss among them. "It's better if we don't investigate in one direction, so that we can collect more clues. Maybe we can finally piece together the whole picture."
Lan En nodded. , indicating understanding of this statement.
Lan En stood up amidst the sound of ‘Ka La La’.
"Be careful, Simon." He looked down at the hunter who looked embarrassed, "Don't die too early, otherwise if you can escape the nightmare this time, you won't be able to catch up."
"It's better to talk less big words." Simon chuckled softly.
“I don’t know how powerful you are, but I said, this is Yanan’s most dangerous and deepest nightmare. You will die dozens of times no matter what. Do you want to say that you You’ve never died before?”
“You look like you’ve never seen the [Blue Elixir]? I don’t think you look like an old hunter that I’ve never seen before. Like a newbie who was recently pulled into a nightmare."
As he spoke, Simon also took out a bottle of [Blue Elixir] from his backpack and threw it to Lan En.
It seems that this is the method that Lian Lan En found difficult to detect when he stood still just now.
"I have indeed never died once." Lan En waved his hand, took the thrown glass bottle from mid-air without looking back, and walked out of the alley.
“I haven’t gone through [blood therapy], and I don’t have sacred blood in my body, so if I die once, I’m really dead, and I’m still standing in front of you, right?”
Lan En put on the hood behind his cloak again and walked out of the alley.
But Simon, who was deep in the alley, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the tall figure in shock.
Wait a minute, he said he has not undergone [blood therapy]?
In other words, he broke into such a deep nightmare and didn't even get hurt? !
No, no, no, that’s not the point.
Simon only felt that he had heard wrongly.
——Why can people without sacred blood in their bodies be able to enter this nightmare?
He was just about to rush over and grab Lan En and ask him carefully.
But at this moment, "Dingle bell~"
A clear and distant ringing sound sounded in Simon's ears.
But Lan En, who had just reached the entrance of the alley and turned around, didn't seem to notice anything.
It seemed that the ringing sound was completely outside the range of his hearing.
Simon knows this because he doesn’t know anything yet.
Only those who want to explore the secret and have already gained something can hear the ringing sound.
The steps that were about to go out to chase the person suddenly stopped.
Simon first looked at the entrance of the alley, then lowered his head, let out a silent breath and shook it.
In the alley, a faint red light came out of a door that was broken open by a mentally retarded giant.
The embarrassed hunter took out another bottle of [Blue Elixir] from his bag and drank it.
While drinking, he walked quickly out of the alley, but after exiting the alley, he turned in the opposite direction to Lan En.
Just two or three seconds later, a red-light soul walked out of the house that had died of gray blood disease.
This soul body looks similar to the soul body that attacked Lan En in the world of fire. They both have a translucent texture that exudes a hostile red light.
This is a male hunter wearing a suit lining, a suit vest, and suit pants. He is holding a one-handed hammer that seems to be made from many jagged and messy blades.
But the suit coat that was supposed to match it has disappeared.
Instead, there was a piece of fur that seemed to have been ripped off directly from the deer's head, connected to the skin of the neck and back, and was still wet and bleeding.
Cover the area behind his back from the top of his head to his waist.
The rough fur also has twisted and asymmetrical antlers, just on his head.
He was carrying a rattle in one hand. There was no bell in the rattle, but he was swinging it casually. Then he seemed to have determined the direction and walked out with the ferocious one-handed hammer. down the alley.
——
After Lan En walked out of the alley, he was walking while sorting out his thoughts with Mentos in his mind.
The current old Yanan is a nightmare belonging to the past. After clarifying this point, his many concerns about the power of time can be temporarily suppressed.
But this doesn't make the situation much better.
Dreamland is not a place that can be cracked with brute force, or in other words - even if you have to use brute force, you have to be rational and clear about how to use it and where to use it. OK.
The key to dreams often lies in those hidden secrets.
According to Simon, the night of hunting that burned the entire city in Old Yharnam was not far away.
The main direction of his investigation is the Healing Church’s gathering of hunters during this period.
And Lan En felt
"I really got into trouble with the plague."
The witcher curled his lips in the shadow under the hood.
Immediately, Mentos marked several medical treatment hospitals established by the Healing Church to treat patients with severe gray blood disease on the map he constructed along the way.
