Chapter 1284: 1256 Chase

Chapter 1284 1256. Chase

"This is the most dangerous and deepest nightmare."

Simon said to Lan En, who was half sitting on the tombstone.

"The answer found in this nightmare must be extremely important. That's why I came here and immersed myself in running around here."

"You can't even remember how many times you have been regressed by this nightmare." Lan En sighed, "How far have you found out about this nightmare?"

Simon shook his head and whispered in frustration: "To be honest, I still don't know clearly."

The whole alley was dead from gray blood disease.

The gloomy sunshine outside cannot shine in, and only a gloomy wind blows from time to time, blowing the weeds growing in the cracks of the bricks on the alley floor, carrying the unique **** smell of gray blood patients.

"I only know that this nightmare lasted from yesterday until the hunting night that burned down the entire old Yharnam."

"During this period, many sudden and violent changes must have occurred."

"But I have said it hundreds of times, and I have never been able to get to the core of the incident and observe what happened. And"

As he said this, Simon smiled to himself.

"I rarely survive until conflicts and accidents break out."

Lan En looked up, a little surprised: "What do you mean?"

Every sober hunter is aware of the rewinding of time and can continuously accumulate experience.

Even among the Yharnam hunters, few have the experience of fighting to the death as many times as they did.

Therefore, their level is completely higher than the general level of hunters.

Hunters like Henryk, who even Irene had to backtrack several times to have a chance to capture, were the outliers among the outliers.

Although Old Yanan is currently suffering from the gray blood disease plague, the situation is not chaotic. How could Simon remain in such a peaceful situation and not even survive until trouble arose?

"This nightmare is dangerous, Lan."

Simon did not directly answer the other party's question, but simply repeated his original words meaningfully.

"Secrets in nightmares. Secrets always have a reason to be secrets, and there are always people who don't want the secrets to be revealed. Especially those secrets that are particularly shady."

Someone is hunting him in this nightmare.

Lan En understood what he meant immediately.

With warning and reminder, Simon said to Lan En: "The closer I get to the secret, the more dangerous it is. He can always find me, no matter where I am. I don't know how he does it, but every time Before he showed up, I would hear a ringing sound."

If Lan En also wants to explore the secret of this nightmare, there is no doubt that he will have the same experience as himself.

"ringing bell"

The demon hunter frowned and couldn't figure it out. He could only first conclude that this was some kind of Yharnam's technological product, which could target those who wanted to explore a certain secret.

"It is because exploring secrets can be dangerous, and the hidden knowledge itself is dangerous enough, that I wear these things."

Simon said with a self-deprecating smile as he pulled the bandage on his head that was so dirty that it turned yellow and black.

"I suggest you prepare yourself. When you feel something is wrong, close your eyes immediately. Don't listen to anything or look at anything."

Because that knowledge is inherently dangerous, it should be treated with caution.

But if you don’t look at that knowledge, how can you solve the mystery?

Yanan, the irrationality, contradiction, and danger reflected in the current disaster in this city have been fully exposed.

The hunter's actions here are like acrobatics on a tightrope.

If you are not careful, the originally precious sobriety will turn into irreparable corruption and fall into madness.

But Lan En is not too worried about this.

The [Song Gland] in his brain has already demonstrated resistance to mental oppression and distortion in the world of fire.

At that time, Lan En's heart and spirit were infected by the power of darkness just because he saw the inner essence of [Netherworld Saint] Eldridge.

In the process, he showed extraordinary endurance, until he finally killed Eldridge and completed the purification of his body and mind.

Moreover, Mentos had already developed ways to deal with the scene of spiritual pollution as early as when he dealt with Dagon.

The biochemical brain will intelligently filter images to ensure that those things that will cause pollution are filtered out in Lan En's eyes.

With double insurance, the witcher felt that he had a much better chance of winning than these Yharnam hunters who fought hard with their lives.

"Nightmare."

Lan En's fingers lightly tapped the tombstone half sitting under his butt. The feeling of the touch, as well as the people he saw on the road, young Henrik and Mark.

Can the dream created by the ancient gods really be called an 'illusory dream'?

But then, Lan En shook his head.

"Is there any news we can communicate?"

The witcher asked Simon cautiously.

Because this information may attract unknown enemies, or the information itself is dangerous, Lan En confirmed it with the other party.

"I can't say too much." Simon said lightly as if he was weak, "I only know now that the Healing Church is organizing a large-scale hunting event, and they have summoned many old hunters. There may also be Baron Weiss among them. "It's better if we don't investigate in one direction, so that we can collect more clues. Maybe we can piece together the whole picture in the end."

Lan En nodded to express his understanding of this statement.

Lan En stood up amidst the sound of "Ka La La".

"Be careful, Simon." He looked down at the hunter who looked embarrassed, "Don't die too early, otherwise if you can escape the nightmare this time, you won't be able to catch up."

"It's better to talk less big words." Simon chuckled softly.

"I don't know how powerful you are, but I said, this is the most dangerous and hidden nightmare of Yanan. You will die dozens of times no matter what. Do you want to say that you have never died before? Pass?"

"You look like you've never even seen [Blue Elixir]? I don't think you look like an old hunter I've never seen before, but more like a newbie who was recently dragged into the nightmare."

As he spoke, Simon also took out a bottle of [Blue Elixir] from his backpack and threw it to Lan En.

It seems that this was the method that Lian Lan En found difficult to detect when he stood still just now.

"I have indeed never died once." Lan En waved his hand, took the thrown glass bottle from mid-air without looking back, and walked out of the alley.

"I haven't gone through [blood therapy], and I don't have sacred blood on my body, so if I die once, I'm really dead, and I'm still standing in front of you, right?"

Lan En put on the hood of his cloak again and walked out of the alley.

But Simon, who was deep in the alley, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the tall figure in shock.

Wait, he said he didn't go through [blood therapy]?

In other words, he broke into such a deep nightmare and didn't even get hurt? !

No, no, no, that's not the point.

Simon only felt that he had heard wrongly.

—Why can people without sacred blood in their bodies be able to enter this nightmare?

He was just about to rush over and grab Lan En to ask questions.

But at this moment “ding ding ding ding~”

A clear and distant ringing sound sounded in Simon's ears.

But Lan En, who had just reached the entrance of the alley and turned around, didn't seem to notice anything.

It seemed that the ringing sound was completely outside the range of his hearing.

Simon knew it was because he didn't know anything yet.

Only those who want to explore the secret and have already gained something can hear the ringing sound.

The steps that were about to go out to chase the person suddenly stopped.

Simon first looked at the entrance of the alley, then lowered his head, breathed out silently and shook it.

And in the alley, a vague red light was already coming out of a door that had been smashed open by the mentally retarded giant.

The embarrassed hunter took out another bottle of [Blue Elixir] from his bag and drank it.

While drinking, he walked quickly out of the alley, but after exiting the alley, he turned in the opposite direction to Lan En.

Just two or three seconds later, a red-light soul walked out of the house that had died of gray blood disease.

This soul body looks similar to the soul body that attacked Lan En in the world of fire. They are both translucent and exude a hostile red light.

This was a male hunter wearing a suit lining, a suit vest, and suit pants. He was holding a one-handed hammer that seemed to be made from many jagged and messy blades.

But the suit coat that was supposed to match it was gone.

Instead, there was a piece of fur that seemed to have been ripped off directly from the deer's head, connected to the skin of the neck and back, and was still wet and bleeding.

Cover the area behind his back from the top of his head to his waist.

The rough fur also has twisting, asymmetrical antlers that sit right on his head.

He was carrying a rattle in one hand. There was no bell in the rattle, but he swayed it casually. Then he seemed to have determined the direction and walked out of the alley carrying the ferocious one-handed hammer.

—

After Lan En walked out of the alley, he was walking while sorting out his thoughts with Mentos in his mind.

The current old Yanan is a nightmare belonging to the past. After clarifying this point, his many concerns about the power of time can be temporarily suppressed.

But this doesn't make the situation much better.

Dreamland is not a place that can be cracked with brute force, or in other words - even if you have to use brute force, you have to be rational and clear about how to use it and where to use it.

The key to dreams often lies in those hidden secrets.

According to Simon, the night of hunting that burned the entire city in Old Yharnam was not far away.

His main direction of investigation was the Healing Church's gathering of hunters during this period.

Lan En felt that

"I really got into trouble with the plague."

The witcher curled his lips in the shadows under his hood.

Immediately, Mentos marked several medical treatment hospitals established by the Healing Church to treat patients with severe gray blood disease on the map he constructed along the way.
