Three, two...
When the countdown came to the last three seconds, the slim-looking mermaid finally removed her calm face and opened her bloody mouth, filled with fangs.
She knew that Angel would not come, so at the last second she showed her true face and roared, as if she was issuing a bad curse to Angel.
The countdown is over.
The debuff of the hallucinogenic state disappears, and all surrounding hallucinations also dissipate.
From the lively dance of demons to the empty dusk underwater, it only takes a moment.
However, although the hallucination disappeared, the singing was still there.
Angel raised his head and looked at the underwater church dozens of meters away. Through the dim light of the colored windows, he could hear humming sounds coming from inside.
This humming sound was exactly the melody of the mermaid in the previous hallucination.
But its real singer is actually the half-man, half-demon in the underwater church.
"It's true." Angel suddenly stopped just now because he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the intensity of the hallucination suddenly changed, from affecting his vision to using sound to affect his emotions.
The moment he saw the mermaid, his desire to have contact with the mermaid reached its peak.
The body unconsciously wants to move in the direction of the mermaid.
Although Angel was able to control it easily, the feeling of losing control just now still made him feel confused.
He must have been affected by hallucinations just now.
It is known that this hallucinogenic state comes from the inside out, in other words, it affects the nervous system of the body. The nervous system is responsible for transmitting and processing various body signals. Once disturbed, it will produce wrong instructions.
Previously, Angel easily resisted the initial hallucination through his own illusion resistance. However, at the last moment, the half-human, half-demon singing combined with the hallucinogenic buff broke through his physical resistance, and this happened an uncontrollable trend.
Angel was still a little confused at first, but now he has figured it out.
Half-human, half-demon is the culprit.
"Originally I thought you were sleeping, but now it seems that you woke up and found me as soon as I entered the hidden waters." Angel murmured in a low voice.
Otherwise, it would not have been able to calculate so accurately. It happened to be the last moment of the countdown, when the negative hallucinogenic effects were the strongest, and it suddenly came out to do this.
Ten minutes ago, when Angel was infected with the hallucinogenic state, it must have discovered it.
It also noticed that Angel ignored other illusions around him, indicating that he had a certain resistance to illusions.
Therefore, when the hallucination is at its strongest, it uses its own singing voice combined with illusions to attack Angel.
However, what it doesn't know is that although there is a big gap between the body of Dream Crystal and the real body, and the illusion resistance is not enough, Angel is actually an illusion wizard, and he is even better at emotional manipulation, almost
It was not affected at all and easily got rid of its carefully designed situation.
Angel's eyes flickered slightly as he listened to the faint singing coming from the underwater church in the distance.
It seems that peaceful exchanges are impossible.
However, he had never thought about peaceful communication with this special entity.
Although the hallucinogenic state had ended, Angel did not immediately go to the underwater church, but looked at the location where the "mermaid" had been.
The illusion of the mermaid was created by a half-human, half-puppet, trying to guide Angel there.
Angel wanted to know why.
Are there any special circumstances where the mermaid stays?
Angel squinted his eyes, God's perspective had been opened, his thoughts and consciousness were detached from the physical body, his eyes traveled through space, and even through matter...
After a moment, Angel withdrew his gaze.
He had already seen that where the mermaid was sitting was a pressure touch console.
There were a large number of lines and corner codes in this touch console. He couldn't understand the corner codes, but along the path of the lines, Angel followed the track to the center stage of the underwater church.
That is, the location of the half-human, half-doll.
Angel also discovered several similar lines around the stage. These lines were also equipped with corner codes and connected to the other two places in the hidden waters.
One is in the northeast corner, one is in the northwest corner, and the south corner on my side.
The distance between the three points is almost the same. If they are connected in order, they will form an equilateral triangle.
The circular stage in the underwater church is exactly in the center of this triangle.
"So formal, like a ritual? Or is it some kind of magic circle?"
Angel didn't know what it was, but he also found the same touch console at the other two points. The most important thing was that the pressure plates of the two touch consoles had been pressed down.
Judging from the traces of gaps around the pressure plate, it was definitely not pressed recently.
It should have been pressed for a while.
It is worth mentioning that there is a scrawled text next to one of the touch consoles: Be careful of phantoms!! Don’t touch!!!
This row of text should have been written using fashion magic. Not only does the magic energy remain, it has not faded even after being soaked in water for many years.
Angel had seen the same handwriting in the villa in Qingshuiqu before.
This is... left by Alfred.
Alfred has been missing for five years, which means that this is a warning from five years ago.
"Five years ago, maybe Alfred also encountered a hallucinogenic crisis..."
Moreover, there is a high probability that the crisis he encountered was the same as this time, and it was half-man, half-demon who was behind the scenes to induce Alfred to come to the touch console.
Caused two pressure plates to be activated.
At the last moment, Alfred came to his senses and left this line of text to sound a warning for those who came after him.
Angel guessed this because only two pressure plates were activated. If Alfred was still under the control of hallucinations at that time, the third pressure plate would definitely have been triggered.
As for what would happen after the three pressure plates were activated, Alfred did not record it, but it must not be a good thing.
Angel looked at the underwater church and murmured in a low voice: "You seduced Alfred to activate the pressure plate five years ago, and you seduced me again this time... You obviously have the hands and feet but you don't do it yourself, or it's pressure.
There is something near the board that scares you, or..."
"You can't get out!"
Angel personally prefers the latter because he didn't find anything unusual near the pressure plate.
The center stage of the underground church is covered with intricate patterns and angular codes.
In addition, the half-human, half-doll only moves on the center stage, so it is very likely that it cannot leave that stage. The lines and corner codes below form a formation that restricts its movement.
After sorting it out like this, things become much clearer.
Angel had always been puzzled before. It was clear that the Hidden Waters would connect with the Modern City every twenty-four hours, but after so many years, the half-man, half-demon never left the underground church.
Now it seems that it is not that it does not want to leave, but that it cannot leave at all.
Perhaps, only when the pressure plates of the three touch consoles are pressed can it break free and leave the stage that confines it.
Unfortunately, very few people know about this place, and even fewer people come here.
For so many years, Alfred is probably the only one who has been here. In fact, it even failed to completely control Alfred, and even allowed him to break free from the hallucination at a critical moment.
Angel couldn't help but shake his head at this moment, not knowing whether to sympathize with it or pity it.
