With everyone's explanations and additions, Angel gradually understood the general outline of the matter.
For some unknown reason, a disease that turns people into madmen has spread in Windmill Town. This disease is also very contagious. Anyone who has come into contact with someone with the disease has a high probability of becoming mad.
Disease contagion.
Moreover, after this disease alarmed the wizards in the Savage Cave, there was still no effective treatment. The wizard's final solution was to confine the patients to a special hospital to prevent them from infecting others.
Greya: "In other words, the Ivar you are talking about has been imprisoned in the hospital?"
Everyone nodded: "Yes, Iva was obviously imprisoned in the hospital. I don't know what happened, but he appeared in the hole in the wall."
"Could it be that Ivar's sister secretly went to the hospital to let him out?", "Or is there an accident in the hospital?", "Could it be that all the patients in the hospital escaped! The entire Windmill Town is on the verge of collapse.
?”
They thought about the horrible scenes one by one, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying they became. They raised their heads expectantly, hoping to get the truth from the mouths of the two wizards in front of them. But neither Greya nor Angel
, they all frowned at this time, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Have you ever heard of this contagious mad disease?" Angel asked.
Greya pondered: "The so-called madness generally refers to mental illness, which is either disordered, out of control, or deviated from the established track. Unless it is a physical trauma, other illnesses are basically
Personal mental state issues.”
"This disease is not uncommon, but due to individual differences, the lesions are different. Therefore, there is basically no "infectious" problem."
Angel nodded, he also understood this. From the basic logic of the origin of the disease, madness is difficult to spread.
Unless the source of the disease is a group psychological suggestion, or spiritual pollution.
For example, the belief in some weird evil gods, some totem patterns with obvious hints...etc., if exposed to these things for a long time, they may pollute the spirit and eventually lead to widespread madness.
But the situation in Windmill Town does not seem to be a hint in this psychological sense. Because the Savage Cave is right next to Windmill Town, there cannot be any evil belief, and the apparent spiritual pollutants can exist in the eyes of wizards for a long time.
under.
Moreover, even if the madness is born due to this situation, the wizard will not be helpless.
But now, judging from their opinions, it seems that the wizards have not found a cure for these patients in Windmill Town.
So besides these, are there any other ways to spread the disease?
If it were on Earth, perhaps the answer would be no. But this is a wizarding world full of incredible power, and there are too many possibilities to create similar situations.
So, the answer is yes. But what’s the use of knowing the answer?
Greya: "The currently known information can be inferred that the cause of this madness must involve extraordinary power."
Angel nodded. Since conventional methods cannot spread madness, and it is not a psychological group suggestion, then there must be extraordinary power involved. What's more, they had clearly sensed that in the cave in the wall before,
There was something vaguely supernatural about the patient named Ivar.
"But, I don't understand why it is necessary to put in effort to infect these mortals. What's the point?" Greya frowned: "Is there some conspiracy here? Could this be what Zslade's hint before meant?
Something?"
"I'll go over and take a look." Greya said and walked directly towards the hole in the wall.
Angel also followed, leaving Azaz outside to protect the group of trembling mortals.
The cave is actually not dark. The smooth ceiling wall has bright luminous plants as the light source. Through the light, you can clearly see that the ground is full of messy boxes and some fallen rail trucks.
Sanders stood in front, staring quietly not far away.
Angel followed Sanders' gaze and saw a man in a white hospital gown directly in front of Sanders, spinning in circles.
You couldn't see anything around the man with the naked eye, but Angel knew very well that there were dense illusion nodes there.
Apparently, Sanders trapped him in an illusion.
"Have you noticed anything?" Greya asked curiously.
Sanders did not reply, but whispered: "What do you think his movements look like?"
His action? Angel and Greya looked at the man in the fantasy, Ivar.
Greya looked at it for a while: "It doesn't seem like anything... Eh, that's not right."
Greya seemed to have discovered something and frowned.
On the other side, Angel didn't notice anything strange about Ivar except his facial expression at first, but now when he looked carefully, Angel found something unusual about Ivar.
His movements, whether it is the arc of his turn, the tilt of his head, the height of his hand raised, or the amplitude of his walking steps, are all larger than those of ordinary people. At first glance, it doesn't seem like much, but if you think about it carefully, it becomes clear that
It seems to be intentional.
At this time, Angel suddenly gave birth to his index finger. A ray of nightmare power shot out from his fingertip.
This nightmare power slowly condensed around Ivar, and finally an illusion appeared. This illusion was exactly the same as Ivar, whether it was dressed or dressed, or even the height was the same.
It's like a twin appeared.
At first, Grea didn't understand what Angel wanted to do by suddenly creating this illusion, until Ivar's illusion started to move, and Grea's eyes suddenly froze.
Angel is controlling the illusion and simulating Ivar's movements!
However, Ivar's movements in this illusion were slowed down.
Ordinary people's movements, even if they are slowed down, are actually smooth and moderate. But after Ivar's movements were slowed down, there were several obvious pauses.
His neck turned to a certain angle, and he paused; his feet were raised to a certain angle, and he paused again... This kind of pause was like the mechanical dance Angel saw in the holographic tablet.
However, mechanical dance is a dance created by humans and has subjective initiative.
But the man in front of him has obviously lost his ability to act independently, as if every one of his limbs is controlled by countless threads.
After discovering this, Ivar's originally ridiculous circling movements were now full of weirdness.
It seems that behind Ivar, there is a huge figure shrouded in darkness. He is smiling strangely and stretching out his hands that cover the sky. His hands are connected with countless silk threads, and these threads are...
Tie Iva tightly...
After a moment of silence, Greya said: "I have a hunch that the thing behind this may not be that simple."
Angel nodded, because this was what he was thinking now.
"How should we deal with this matter?" Angel looked at Sanders.
However, Sanders did not answer, but turned his head and looked behind them.
The man who was attacked by Ivar before was saved by Sanders. He had been lying on the ground unconscious, but now he suddenly woke up and slowly stood up...
