Chapter 35 Strangeness(1/2)
"Ha! Black goat!"
The song finally ended, and Mrs. Lewis clapped her hands happily.
The black goats also showed joy and peace, as if they were inspired by the singing. Even the fear caused by the corpses of their companions was invisible to them at this moment.
Afterwards, the room fell into a long silence, and no one had any intention of speaking first.
The three of them, Linden, were all deeply affected by this absurd and weird style of lyrics and music, and an invisible sense of depression grew in their hearts.
The ballad, which was already filled with a sense of absurdity, was sung by Mr. Lewis, and it added an inexplicable meaning.
Even Falcon, whose strength is resisting illusions and memory modifications, inevitably feels anxious.
The lyrics, which are mixed with remote dialects and accents, seem to have some kind of power that can affect the minds of the listeners.
It was Linden who reacted first.
Whenever he couldn't concentrate, there would always be whispers trying to intrude on his thoughts.
This high-intensity intracranial attack and defense battle causes Linden to usually choose to sleep during the day.
He never thought that one day he would be able to regroup his energy through irritating nonsense.
Irritability, nausea, anger...
He also had a severe headache and an explosive sensation, which forced Linden to regain consciousness.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort with strong willpower, and raised the arm holding the revolver high.
boom!
The sound of gunshots woke up Antar and Falcon at the same time. Sweat dripped from their foreheads and they gasped in shock.
"What's going on? Sister Falcon, even you have been tricked?"
Falcon himself could not answer Antar's question.
For her, the bewitching influence will be more difficult to work than for ordinary people, but this does not mean that it is completely useless.
Give her some more time, Falcon may be able to get out of the current predicament on her own.
Just like when facing an illusion, she can quickly counterattack in a short period of time, but she cannot isolate it immediately.
But,
The ballad sung by Mr. Lewis,
She had never seen such an effective mental attack,
Can people suppress panic with just a few syllables and sentences?
and,
Mr. Lewis does not possess any special abilities.
As an ordinary person, he was able to influence three night watchmen.
So what would happen if it was sung by a powerful person with ulterior motives?
These possibilities,
The level of fear after Falcon wakes up is even far greater than when he was just bewitched.
But at the same time, she also received an unexpected surprise.
Lyndon, a newly hired Night Watch intern, was actually able to regain his sanity faster than himself.
This new and famous night watchman,
Could it be that it really has some powerful potential?
Falcon felt that it was necessary. After the operation, he proposed to Ian, the boss of the East Street Night Watch, to immediately launch special training for Lyndon to learn professional abilities more systematically.
She considers herself to be capable of resisting rationally.
From this point of view, Lyndon may still be far better than his own talent in this way.
Good talent should not be buried.
Lyndon twisted his neck and took a deep breath again.
No one could feel how uncomfortable he felt at the moment.
Antar and Falcon were deeply shocked by Mr. Lewis's song, but they never imagined that the reason why Lyndon woke up quickly was because there was greater pain oppressing him.
If it was Jiana who had been with him for a long time, she might have been able to detect the efforts that Lyndon was making under his trembling hands.
He forced himself to remain calm and prevent others from discovering his situation:
"I probably understand why your wife is like this.
It was probably after she learned this song that she developed this problem!"
"Yes, sir, just like you said, this song has profoundly affected both of us and brought us a sense of happiness."
"I can't bear this happiness anyway."
Antar was still a little scared and continued,
"Damn, it's getting more and more evil. I think this black goat is much scarier than Carpio's.
Fortunately it didn't happen in our jurisdiction, otherwise if the organization would blame us, the problem of our unfavorable inspections would be too big."
"No matter which jurisdiction it is, as night watchmen we must manage it."
Falcon interrupted him sternly.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Sister Falcon, Antar, do you have anything else to ask?"
Lyndon felt that he needed to end their conversation because the pain was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe.
This time it was quite serious, and Lyndon suspected that it was because of that song that he became too relaxed.
For Whisper, this is a rare opportunity to attack.
As usual, before Jana was around, he would choose to enter the dark dream to avoid the unbearable high-intensity intrusion.
But now that the situation is special, he is reluctant to summon Hei Meng.
Jiana was also unable to help herself because she was too frightened and had to work hard to sort out the clues in her mind.
Linden just wanted to find a quiet place first so that he could temporarily deal with the biggest problem.
"I didn't, what about you, Sister Falcon?"
"Neither do I. Contact my colleagues in the West Block to manage this castle! I will take care of this matter when I find time...Linden, what's wrong with you? You don't look good!"
Compared to Antar, Falcon was still much more attentive. When her eyes swept over Linden, she noticed that he seemed to be enduring great pain.
After she mentioned this, Antar also turned to look at Linden, and he said in surprise:
"Why has your face turned so white! What's wrong with you? Don't hold it back!"
"It's nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well!"
Linden forced a smile and said vaguely,
"His song made me a little dizzy. I think it has something to do with my poor sleep quality."
"Then what are we doing now...?"
"Just do what Sister Falcon said! Antal, you go contact your colleagues in the West Block and ask them to come over as soon as possible. I may need to rest for a while."
"Isn't it? Here? Just rest when you say rest?"
"Antar, obey the order!"
Falcon forcibly interrupted Antar to express his opinion, and said with concern to Linden,
"You should first find a room and have a good rest. This kind of singing may cause damage to your spirit. Please don't leave any sequelae. We are more experienced than you in the process of completing the task, so you can rest assured and leave it to me.
If you feel particularly uncomfortable, remember to tell me and she will help you find a solution."
"Okay, thank you Sister Falcon."
The headache was getting worse, and Linden couldn't care less. He turned around and left the room quickly.
Antar stared at his leaving figure and said suspiciously:
"Didn't he feel fine just now? Why do you say that it won't work if it doesn't work?"
"Isn't it normal for a newcomer to encounter such a difficult problem on his first mission, plus he has not received training, so he can't handle it?"
Is this true! No matter how talented a newcomer is, he will definitely encounter problems.
Falcon secretly speculated with the thought that this should be the case.
In her guess, Linden probably had some special way to quickly avoid mental interference, but this special way came at a certain price.
Her idea cannot be said to be completely wrong. Lyndon does have his own unique method.
However, when dealing with ballads, he has not yet used it, but is planning to leave it to babble.
He quickly found a vacant bedroom.
To be continued...
