Leader of the Ark Raiders

The melodious singing seems to be calling him to the past.

Shen Cangye couldn't tell the direction.

However, the source of the singing... seems to be the sea.

"Ah - big brother, why are you here!"

When Shen Cangye returned to the street, a slightly immature voice sounded behind him.

Shen Cangye turned around.

Anita stood behind him, "Big brother! What are you doing here? Sister Skadi and the others are waiting over there—"

Shen Cangye didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence, so she slashed at her with a single knife.

Anita's body broke in two from the middle, and the moment it fell to the ground, it turned into a gray-brown lump of flesh.

"It was you who spied on us on the street that night, Quintus, you turned into a little girl, don't you think you are perverted?" Shen Cangye flicked the black blood from the knife.

He ignored the squirming pieces of flesh on the ground and walked straight forward.

This is not the Yanfeng City in reality, Shen Cangye realized it from the very beginning.

In this place shrouded in thick fog, his watch was running backwards.

This is a scene that only appears in dreams, like an anchor for him to wake up.

The singing sounded again.

432. Grand Inquisitor An Likui

"His road has no end..."

"His path is thick with fog..."

"Come here... Shen Cangye, come here..."

The call echoed in the thick mist, luring him over.

Shen Cangye ignored it, he observed while walking.

Quintus must have made a one-to-one scale restoration of Saltwind City in the fantasy land, which is completely consistent with the reality of the town.

Presumably it is to deceive people - after all, the dream maker can change the things in the dream at will.

Shen Cangye thought while running.

When entering the town hall, only he saw the oil painting.

Then, maybe he is the only one who has entered the dreamland.

Then, he thought of the little judge Alini.

Eleni reports to City Hall every day.

However, in fact the town hall is just a ruin.

...Or it is possible that what she entered was not the city hall in the real world, but the city hall in the fantasy land without knowing it.

With this in mind, Shen Cangye ran towards the city hall.

Sure enough, as soon as you enter the door, the inside is bright, clean and tidy.

It is completely different from the deserted scene in the real world.

On the table not far from the door, there is a work log.

Shen Cangye approached to check, the upper part was the daily tasks assigned by the Grand Inquisitor An Likui, and the lower part was the daily work summary of the Junior Inquisitor Ai Lini.

It seems that the communication between Eleni and An Likui was completed through this work log, and she must have never met An Likui.

...Is it because An Likui himself doesn't want to meet people?Or can't see people?

Shen Cangye came to the second floor of the city hall, still exploring the past room by room.

He kicked open the door at the end of the corridor.

The things in the room caused his movements to pause slightly.

- There is a person sitting in the middle of the room.

More correctly, he has broken away from the category of "human".

It was as if two different species had been forced together. The left half of his body was still human, wearing the uniform of an Iberian judge, and the right half of his body was a Haizi...

Shen Cangye recognized the image of that Haisi.It was the first sea-spawn to use the language, and it was called the First Speaker.

The people in the room lifted their heads weakly and stared at Shen Cangye.

"You are, An Likui?" Shen Cangye narrowed his eyes.

The man showed a smile uglier than crying, "It's a good thing you found this place, outsider... Sure enough, Quintus's Dreamland has limited effect on you... Yes, I was sent to Anriqui, the judge of Saltwind City."

"Are you the judge of Iberia, or the believer of the Deep Sea Church?" Shen Cangye clenched the knife in his hand.

An Likui smiled bitterly, "Of course I am the judge of Iberia. But, as you can see, I was sealed by Quintus in this room and in the Dreamland - with this disgraceful way. Neither my information nor my call for help can be conveyed."

Shen Cangye believed more than doubted An Likui's words.

Judging from the fact that he did not sacrifice the residents of Yanfeng City to Hai Si, An Likui should not have been brainwashed by the Deep Sea Church.

"Quintus built an identical town in Saltwind City in the Dreamland, and he can manipulate what people see in Saltwind City at will..." Anlikui said.

"I'm in a dreamland now, am I?" Shen Cangye asked.

"Yes, you and your three partners are all in different places in the Dreamland. Quintus separated you, and they are all in the nightmare."

"Gloretia and the others--?" Shen Cangye was slightly taken aback, "Isn't the ability to drag people into a fantasy world through oil painting? - Could it be that people who have entered the city hall Can it be pulled into a dream?"

"You're right." An Likui said, "The oil painting "The Entrance of Dreamland" can create a buffer zone of dreams around it. You must have been lured around the city hall by Quintus. As long as you enter the courtyard of the city hall , he can drag you into a dream, and those who are dragged into a dream by him can easily get lost in a nightmare and lose their lives unknowingly."

"I can help you leave the dream." After a pause, An Likui said, "But I have a request—please take out all the things I have seen and investigated here, and bring them to Iberia Officially... time is running out, and Quintus' plan is about to succeed."

He said, looking at the bookshelf, "The third row from top to bottom, from left to right No. 30 seven books, those are my investigation notes."

Shen Cangye walked to the bookshelf, and after confirming that there were no traps, he took down the book An Likui mentioned.

He opened the thick notebook and read ten lines at a glance.

——In the beginning, An Likui was ordered to come to Yanfeng City to investigate the infiltration of the Deep Sea Church.

However, after fighting against Quintus, he was defeated and was transplanted by Quintus with half of Hai Si's body.

This Hai Si whose body had been cut off by Quintus was in a dormant state, and Quintus transplanted it on An Likui's body, allowing it to absorb An Likui's flesh and blood as nourishment.

433. Did I eat mushrooms?

Quintus placed the First Speaker in the Dreamland, so that it would not be able to communicate with other Sea-Childs through a spiritual connection.

The first speaker, this purebred Hai Si is the experimental material of Quintus and others.

Enrique could not beat Quintus, so he made a deal with Quintus.He provided his body as nourishment for the survival of the first speaker, and Quintus made the fish bring food from the sea to Saltwind City every day, so that the residents of this city could still survive after being abandoned by Iberia .

Shen Cangye was slightly surprised.

Quintus on this world line did not blindly believe in the so-called "evolution" of Haizi, but started experiments on his own, which has to be said to be enlightened.

"What is Quintus' purpose?" Shen Cangye asked.

An Likui said weakly: "By chance, Quintus got a part of the 'Mother of the Sea''s limbs, which endowed him with the ability to connect to the Dreamland, and the oil paint is also a creature in the Dreamland. made of blood..."

He paused, panting for a long time, before saying: "Quintus wants to become the god of Hai Si, the master of the dreamland...for this reason, he is cultivating his own troops."

"What a big tone." Shen Cangye said.

An Likui coughed and said, "Now, he only needs an oracle to become Hai Si's god..."

"I'm afraid he already knows." Shen Cangye said, "My companion seems to have slipped the tongue."

He and Skadi shared the dream.

Now, Skadi has said the "oracle" in the dream.

"What—it turns out that the person Quintus is looking for is your partner?" Enrique was shocked. "Too bad, time is running out. Once he completes his evolution, the entire Saltwind City—"

"Where is he?" Shen Cangye asked.

An Likui was still in panic, "That's not good, it's really not good! Outsider! I will do my best to send you away from Huanmeng, please bring the news to—"

"You said you didn't have time, and you brought the news to the Iberian officials. How fast can their response be?" Shen Cangye interrupted An Likui, "Tell me where he is, I'm going to fix him."

The Grand Inquisitor was taken aback, "Impossible! You can't do it! Even me, I can't hold on to Quintus for more than a minute!"

"Where is he?" Shen Cangye was too lazy to talk.

Knowing that Quintus is hiding in Yanfeng City, the big deal is that it will take a little more effort to destroy the entire mobile city.

Chasing and chasing all the way, from De Kawo, to Obaid, to Deep Sea Color, and then to Anlikui, Shen Cangye was about to lose his patience.

He didn't come to Iberia for tourism, especially in a weird small city like Saltwind City. He had already stayed enough, and he was anxious to return to Rhodes Island.

"He is in the church. He never ventures into the real world. He only controls the real world and everything in Saltwind City in the dreamland." Enrique said, "Quintus is best at manipulating dreams. , if you get lost in the dream he wove, you'll—ah—”

"Okay, it's in the church, right? I see, thank you." Shen Cangye turned around and left.

"You—" An Likui stared blankly at this impatient outsider who disappeared into the end of his vision in a few steps.

Don’t you even need to give you a strategy and give you homework?

An Likui was also worried. He had seen countless people who strayed into the dreamland and died under the hands of Quintus.

I am proficient in the highest swift swordsmanship, but I can't fight, so what can these outsiders do?

... Even, his companions have been trapped in a nightmare.

Shen Cangye hurried to the church.

——No wonder I didn’t see Quintus when I searched the church before, because he was hiding in the city of Saltwind in this dreamy world.

Quintus pulled him into the dreamland and wanted to kill them, but he didn't know that when he shot and hunted, he also exposed his position.

Shen Cangye kicked open the door of Yanfeng City Church and stepped in.

Heh... here we go again.

The scene in front of him was not a church, but the corridor in Rhode Island's cabin, a corridor made of blood and flesh.

The wall was moving, as if the building had come to life, and cyan protrusions like blood vessels appeared on the wall, and they were constantly trembling.

The flesh and blood split open, and what flowed out was dark blue blood.

A huge, transparent water tank stood not far away, and the ghost shark was curled up in it, and what soaked her was a high concentration of liquid origin stone.

The scene changed following Shen Cangye's footsteps.

In the cafeteria of Rhodes Island, the operators gathered around the table.

Operator Angela is cooking today.

Gloria served him food, and he saw that her body was covered with fish scales, but she enjoyed it.

Gloria opened the cover, and on the plate were twisted blood and flesh, tentacles and eyeballs.

Blood seeped out and stained the tablecloth red.

He turned his head to look at the next table, it was——

Dinosaur.

monster.

Haisi.

They wear Rhode Island uniforms.

They are eating.

They chew blood and flesh.

"Why don't you eat?" Gloria glared at him.

He heard the organ, and the voices of carols, and the bone-gnawing sounds of the dino fish in a symphony.

What are they... singing?
