Chapter 558

Four hundred and tenth chapter – Toxin

Suddenly, different voices filled the air above the dream square, with every corner having mysterious and forbidden incantations. In the semi-air above the square, strings of characters floated out of nowhere. These slightly glowing characters drifted around the square, filling every corner.

“This is… mm…”

Facing the sudden situation, the shadow, who was just asking Vania a question, was stunned. Just as he was about to figure out what was happening, countless forbidden sounds filled his ears, and dangerous texts floated before his eyes. In an instant, the shadow was completely surrounded by forbidden knowledge.

To see, to hear, to comprehend… In a moment, countless pieces of knowledge flooded the shadow’s mind through various channels, and at the same time, the intense toxins contained within arrived as well.

Amidst the constantly echoing voices and floating words, the human-shaped shadow covered his own ears, and let out a painful scream. Amidst the scream, the shadow’s entire body began to distort, and in an extremely exaggerated deformation, it quickly dissolved and completely vanished from Vania’s dream space.

“Ahhhh!!!”

In the real world, beside the Navaha church, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out. This exaggerated scream directly interrupted the evening prayers inside the church. Many pilgrims who were praying frowned and stood up from their chairs, looking towards the direction where the scream came from. Some people pointed angrily and shouted loudly.

“Who is there!”

In the direction pointed by the pilgrims, outside the church window, a young man was seen with wide-open eyes, desperately grabbing his head. bl**d was flowing from his nostrils, eyes, and ears, carrying indescribable extreme pain. The man with bl**d gushing from seven orifices fell backward and collapsed on the ground.

Not far from the man, his companion who was also trapped in a dream woke up due to the heart-wrenching scream. When he deactivated his ability and looked at the man falling beside him, he couldn’t help but run over hurriedly.

“Pablo! What happened to you?!”

The young man, who had just woken up, immediately squatted down next to Pablo and started checking his condition. After a brief examination, he found that this companion, whose seven orifices were bleeding and whose face was terrifying, was already dead. This discovery made the young man’s heart churn uncontrollably, and he was so scared that he almost sat down right there.

“He… He died… How could this be? He actually died? Why did he d*e for no reason?!”

Looking at the corpse of his companion, the young man held his chest and gasped, truly unable to understand why Pablo, who was just fine during the dream trap, suddenly died! There was no one attacking him nearby?!

Although filled with fear and confusion, since their location had been exposed and people inside the church were rushing toward them, the young man didn’t have time to think much. Upon hearing the dense footsteps approaching, he immediately got up and ran, disappearing into the night in an instant.

The crowd that came from the church only found a corpse with bl**d gushing from seven orifices at the location where the scream occurred.

On the other side inside the church, Vania, who had been sleeping, slowly regained consciousness.

“Ugh… Hmm… What just happened? I suddenly feel so sleepy… I even fell asleep during the evening prayer… This is too outrageous…”

Awakening, Vania took off her glasses and wiped her eyes. Just as she put on her glasses to continue her prayer, she noticed that the church was in chaos, and everyone seemed to have stopped praying, instead gathering together and discussing.

“Huh… What’s going on? What happened while I was sleeping?”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Vania muttered in puzzlement. At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in her heart.

“Sister Vania… Are you awake?”

“Huh… Miss Dorothy? You… Are you communicating with me through Akka?”

Hearing this familiar voice, Vania immediately responded in her heart. Soon after, Dorothy’s voice came again.

“Yes, it’s me talking to you now… I need to remind you of some things that just happened. The Navaha we are in might not be as simple as it seems on the surface…”

…

Late at night in Navaha, in a certain room.

Garcia sat on a comfortable single-seater sofa, her face showing surprise as she looked at the nervous young man before her, speaking in an incredulous tone.

“What! You said Pablo died? And it was sudden, without any warning?”

“Huff… Huff… Yes, Ms. Garcia, I was performing a dream trap on an officer who was a deity follower when I suddenly heard Pablo’s scream. When I deactivated the dream trap and went to check, I found Pablo lying on the ground dead. His nose, eyes, and ears were all bleeding; he died in a very terrible way…”

Standing in front of Garcia, the young man panted as he spoke, and Garcia continued to ask.

“How did Pablo d*e? Was he attacked by someone?”

“No… I don’t know! I don’t know how Pablo suddenly turned like this? I didn’t see anyone attack him, and there were no obvious injuries on his body, but he just died for no reason… It’s really too terrifying…”

The young man answered with fear. After hearing the young man’s words, Garcia paused slightly and then spoke seriously.

“Pablo died for no apparent reason, which suggests he might have been targeted by someone… You were right there when he died, yet you couldn’t find any clues about the culprit, and you even ran back without properly handling the body? So, what good are you?”

Garcia stared at the young man with a dangerous look, and the young man, sensing the danger, immediately responded.

“No, ma’am! I didn’t come back empty-handed. I successfully gathered some important information through the dream trap!”

“What kind of information?”

“It’s information about those deity followers. I performed a dream trap on an officer, and from him, I learned why these deity followers never left Navaha!”

“The church is gathering more strength against us, and the tribunal people are here too. Since the tribunal has mobilized, they must be targeting us!”

“Ms. Garcia, we’ve been thoroughly spotted by the church!”

The young man told Garcia the important intelligence he had just obtained from the officer, and upon hearing his words, Garcia’s expression became very grim.
