Chapter 46 Black Lake Twelve
“But...”
The bruised and swollen Mr. Oystercatcher on the side spoke hesitantly.
“Last time we watched the movie, Miss Sparrow and I both drank locally produced drinks, which obviously contained lake water. Why didn’t we change?”
“Ingested drinks The amount is too small.”
Mr. Stork seemed to have some understanding of this and turned around to explain.
“Furthermore, the improvement of gnosis does not have obvious characteristics... No, it is not completely absent. Haven’t you noticed that after being injured in the movie, the mental malaise and physical hallucinations in reality are felt? Will it hurt faster than us?"
Mr. Oystercatcher was startled.
He and Miss Sparrow looked at each other and nodded.
"It seems...that is indeed the case."
"So the information Mr. Snow Owl shared with us is probably true."
Mr. Stork smiled and nodded.
Expectation appeared in his eyes.
Gilan looked at everyone, suddenly thought of something, and reminded:
“I felt that there was something wrong with the heroine Fima Costello a long time ago. It’s best to check before setting off.”
The four people in the gathering were slightly startled, but soon they also heard the subtext of Ji Lan and nodded.
"Indeed, it was Fima who gave us drinks that made Miss Sparrow accidentally fall into the trap. Maybe her parents were also influenced by the Black Lake and became the 'Lake God Cult' early on. One of them, maybe even the leader behind the scenes!"
Mr. Stork analyzed in a deep voice.
"It's just because of her status as the heroine that we subconsciously ignored this point."
"I don't think so." Miss Seagull frowned slightly and objected. "The Fima family are Dawn believers and are unlikely to abandon their faith and turn to the so-called 'Lake God'."
Everyone fell silent.
If faced with the temptation of immortality, can anyone really stick to their misty faith?
I'm afraid it's hard to say.
“We’ll know after confirming it.” Ji Lan said lightly. "First lure her away temporarily, and then go to her room to check. Maybe you can find something."
"Mr. Snow Owl is right."
Mr. Stork immediately expressed his stance.
"I will find a way to ask Fima to go downstairs later, such as asking her to help us buy some trauma medicine or something..."
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Mr. Stork put on his black top hat again and walked out of the room with his steel core cane.
Not long after, he came back again and nodded to everyone.
The rest of them filed out, quietly walked through the corridor on the second floor, and opened Fima's door.
Everything inside was normal until Mr. Oystercatcher took out a palm-sized red leather student ID card from Fima's backpack.
“This?!” He opened it and looked at it, making a sound of surprise.
"Did you find anything, Mr. Oystercatcher?" Everyone looked at the sound.
Mr. Oystercatcher came up with the certificate, pointed and said:
"Look!"
Everyone gathered around and focused their attention on it. They all opened their mouths in surprise.
A sense of absurdity came to my heart.
The certificate was clearly marked:
"Fima Costello, female, 19 years old, a second-year student in the Department of Archeology at the University of Michigan, recommended by the 'Vita Foundation Orphanage' Go to school.”
"Orphan?!" Miss Sparrow said in surprise.
“She never had so-called parents, it was just a product of her imagination after she accidentally bought a drink produced in Fayelan’en Town and drank it...”
Mr. Stork instantly understood the main line of the story. "Because her inner desire for her parents' love surpassed her desire for the 'elixir', she embarked on a ridiculous journey to find her relatives."

Everyone went downstairs with the truth and mixed emotions.
"Are you feeling better?"
Fima came over with gauze and anti-inflammatory drugs in her hands, looking at everyone with concern.
"It's all my fault. I asked you to accompany me here. I didn't expect that the security of 'Faye Lan'en' was so bad. There were so many gangsters and they even injured you."
They looked at each other. , sighing secretly in his heart.
Looking at the clueless and angry Fima, she just felt that the other party was extremely pitiful.
Because according to the development of the movie, this unaccompanied young female student will eventually die in that forest or on the shore of the Black Lake on the way to find her "parents".
"It's just a skin injury, it doesn't matter." Mr. Stork said with a smile. "It's more important to find your parents first. Without further ado, let's set off as soon as possible."
"But..." Fima showed worry.
Miss Seagull hugged her, comforted her, and led her out of the hotel.
Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and followed out.
This time we still arrived at the Forest Park by public carriage, but when passing the exhibition hall at the entrance, Gilan found an excuse to temporarily leave the team, saying that he would catch up soon.
He watched everyone in the record meeting leave first, and he turned back to the glass exhibition stand of "Mammoth Specimen" and looked up at the huge skeleton.
Gilan now knows that this is not a mammoth specimen at all, but the Lieutenant Colonel Dolomit of the "Expedition Exploration Team"!
It is a monster that mutated from its inner obsession after being polluted by the Black Lake!
'Although I don't know how he died, it doesn't stop me from corrupting it...'
Jilan secretly thought, and raised his leg with a kick.
Bang——bang! !
Amidst the loud noise, broken glass splashed all over the floor, frightening the staff. When they saw the familiar figure covered in blood, they felt only fear and anger.
How does the Public Security Bureau do its job? !
It’s been several hours since the police were called, and this lunatic hasn’t been caught yet, and now he’s here again? !
Oh my God! He actually stroked the mammoth skeleton with a weird smile on his face? !
Crazy! abnormal! !
But none of these staff members dared to stop them, they only cursed in their hearts. Because the madman was holding a shiny short-barreled revolver in his hand, and the black muzzle of the gun was always pointed at their location.
They didn’t dare to bet with their lives whether the gun was real or not, or whether there were bullets in the gun, let alone whether their minds would be opened after speaking out.
Gilan ignored the staff.
After watching the skeletal specimens in front of him rotting away, he smiled.
The colored number in the corner of his sight jumped from the original "25" to "35".
'After being dead for so long, there are still "10" points of mysterious energy. This shows how powerful the lieutenant colonel's deformed monster is. No wonder even the skeleton can bring me such a sense of oppression... If it is still alive, I I'm afraid it is far from its opponent. ’
Jilan thought secretly.
Soon, he recovered his thoughts and passed by the group of staff with a smile.
However, Gilan's smile did not make them feel friendly. Instead, they only felt cold and creepy... She was even more afraid that this person would be emotionally unstable, give them a shot, and then run away laughing.
“Do you have any cigarettes?” Jilan suddenly asked a male staff member.
The man was stunned on the spot and let out a sigh.
Not long after.
Miss Sparrow and others saw Mr. Snow Owl rushing back from behind with a cigarette in his mouth and a revolver, looking in a good mood.
