I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 230 Mixed Dreamland

Julian pursed his lips tightly. From the mouth of the male soldier, he got a terrifying guess.

The combination of unreasonable chills, incontinence, paralysis, and finally dementia, combined with the tragedy in the orphanage, is easily reminiscent of a sickening disease - kuru.

Kuru comes from the greatest human taboo - cannibalism.

As soon as he said his deduction, the male soldier suddenly broke out: "You are talking nonsense! Your Excellency Edison... how could he do such a thing!"

"He...he..." The male soldier retorted incoherently, but his voice became softer as he spoke, as if he himself lacked confidence.

"This is just my speculation, but... Judging by your reaction, you seem to have discovered something?" Julian glanced at the male soldier, always feeling that there seemed to be some relationship between this male soldier and the man named Edison.

The male soldier suddenly fell silent. He squatted on the ground, his small body curled up into a ball, holding his head in pain.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I only have such inferences to find clues to escape. It doesn't make any sense to us whether Edison is a hero who defends the country or a cannibal devil. " Cosmo said coldly.

The male soldier finally opened his mouth intermittently, telling a memory that he had already forgotten.

It turned out that his parents used to work in Lord Edison's mansion, and he lived there all the time when he was a child. He once saw Lord Edison hugging the cook's child lovingly. The child was only five or six years old and was killed Well-raised, white and fat, very cute.Everyone thought that His Majesty Edison liked children, so he hugged him like that, even pulled his joint-like arm, and kissed him, but from his angle, they could clearly see His Excellency using his teeth on the child's arm Grinded.

Not long afterwards, the cook's child was lost, and it was said that a thief stole it, and was never found again.

There weren't many clues, but a lot of fragmentary details put together made him produce an extremely frightening inference.It was precisely because there was no direct evidence that even he himself didn't take this matter to heart, but inexplicably felt a sense of fear in his heart.

This also saved his life. Julian believed that if he told the truth at that time, it would be hard for others to believe him or not, and that Lord Edison would definitely kill him.

At the same time, he also understood why that Edison refused to accept the priest's blessing. Cannibalism is the greatest evil. It is certain that as long as it is the church of good gods, no blessing can take effect on him. At that time, even if others don't Knowing that he was a cannibal, he also knew that he had done a great evil. Obviously, Edison would never let such a thing happen.

"Then what should we do?" Judy was still a little dazed, she and the male soldier came from different countries, so naturally she didn't understand why the male soldier was so depressed, but she didn't understand what effect Julian's reasoning had on them.

Cosmo sighed: "Julian's original intention was to break this dream. After all, he is the master of the nightmare. If you can't find out the source of his terror, how can you solve it?"

"What about now? Can it be cracked?" Judy asked eagerly.

Cosmo glanced at the male soldier squatting in the corner and holding his head. He was a little speechless. The source of fear had been found out, but how to solve it became the biggest problem.

Judy's nightmare was because of being imprisoned by the necromancer, and her life and death were hanging by a thread. When she realized that her strength could already crush the opponent, this fear naturally disappeared, and the previous dream was broken.

The source of the male fighter's fear is more complicated. To sum it up, it is probably the fear of Edison. He is afraid that he will be silenced by Edison if he knows the truth.

In the real world, that Edison died long ago. Theoretically, the source of fear of the male warrior has disappeared, but for some reason, the nightmare is not over yet.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first." Julian quietly opened a crack in the door, and the iron stick meat ball outside went to nowhere, so he just took this opportunity to leave first.

Although the storage room is hidden, there is only one exit. Once the exit is blocked, it is called catching a turtle in a jar.

A group of people quickly left the storage room and ran forward along the base of the wall. Considering that the iron stick meat ball might have returned to the guard at the gate, they quietly went up to the second floor.

The second floor is mainly the bedrooms of the orphans, as well as the washroom and the handicraft room. The so-called handicraft room is just a nice name. In fact, it is the place where the children do hard work.

The new dean pretentiously said that these children are allowed to do what they can, which is essentially squeezing their labor force. The older children have to work here from morning to night, except for three meals to satisfy their hunger. , without any wages.

Julian's destination is there. It is already night, the children are all asleep, and there is no one there. They should be able to hide for a while.

A few people walked slowly along the corridor silently. The male soldier was still lying on Julian's back. He hadn't recovered from the stimulation of disillusionment. No words.

Fortunately, Julian didn't need him to say anything now, as long as he knew the terrain of the orphanage and played hide-and-seek with those people for a while, it was enough.

"Wait...do you think there's anything wrong?" Julian suddenly stopped, listened for a while, and then looked at the others.

Everyone thought there was an enemy, and each of them held their breath and leaned close to the wall, and listened for a while, but they heard nothing.

He almost turned his puzzled eyes to Julian, not knowing what he had found.

"It's too quiet." Julian pointed out the key point.

The others were suddenly taken aback.

Yes, it's too quiet here.

It should be quiet at night, but the quietness here gives people a feeling of dead silence. Even though the windows in the corridor are still open, there is not even a little wind.

"Something's wrong!" Cosmo became tensely alert. No matter how quiet it was, he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing. There were at least ten children sleeping in each bedroom, so it was impossible that no sound could be heard.

"Be careful!" Julian quickly pushed the person next to him away, and a large piece of ooze fell right where he was standing. The ooze was mixed with blood and pieces of meat, giving off a stench, and fell on the ground. The ground quickly corroded a large area of ​​the floor.

"What the hell is this in case?" The male soldier on Julian's back couldn't help but swear, the ooze was so big that it almost covered Julian and the person next to him, if it wasn't for Julian The reaction was quick to dodge, as soon as the thing fell, he was the first to suffer!

"Stinky slime monster? How could it be..." The man who was pushed away just now, that is, the taciturn man before, looked at the puddle of mud on the ground in shock.

"Okay, don't worry about how it appeared, let's talk about how to deal with him first!" The male soldier said violently.

The man immediately replied: "This thing can absorb physical attacks, so it is very difficult to deal with. The liquid on its body is corrosive, and it is immune to most magic. The best known way to deal with it is to attack it with divine magic. "

"Damn it!" The male soldier had already jumped off Julian's body, and was circling violently: "We have all become smaller, blood energy, magic and the like can't be used, this ghost thing can also absorb attacks, it is necessary Our lives!"

"No, I didn't finish." The man yelled: "What I want to say is that this thing usually lives in swamps and is very large. An ooze monster of this size can only be a scout split from the prototype. Found us, its body should be here soon!"

"What!" The male soldier was stunned.

Pieces of mud quickly flowed out from the surrounding doors and windows. The mud covered the aisle, wriggling constantly, and the blood and stumps inside were tumbling back and forth, making people sick.

"Run!" Julian yelled, at this time, he didn't care whether he would disturb the gatekeepers, the key was to be able to run out.

Everyone ran quickly, and they were about to run downstairs along the way they came from. Fortunately, it would take a certain amount of time before the ooze monster completely merged. As long as they can escape from this old house, they still have a chance.

Just as they were about to run to the door, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and a huge meat ball was covered with iron bars, blocking the door step by step.

"Damn it!" Julian cursed inwardly. That's why there are wolves in front and tigers behind.

"No!" Cosmo sternly said, "The Lord of Nightmare can't do this. The power is balanced. He wants to confine us to childhood, so the power of this nightmare also has an upper limit. He can't make such a Horrible stuff. Unless..."

"Unless what?" The male soldier stared fiercely at the iron stick meat ball. If he still had the strength, it wouldn't take much effort to deal with such a clumsy guy, but at this time he was only five or six years old, and he rushed up to give someone a gift. vegetable.

"Unless we have regained our strength, it's just that we are used to this body shape and forget it." Julian said calmly with a flash of light in his eyes.Immediately, he released a fear spell on the meat ball, and the meat ball's face changed drastically, as if seeing some horrible scene, he let out a wild scream and ran away.

"Go, go out first, it's not good for us to fight inside!" Julian ran out first, and the others quickly followed, and quickly ran out of the house.

The ooze monster was still chasing after them, and in the process of flowing, the puddles of mud all merged together to form a hill-like ooze monster.

The recovery of their strength made them seem to wake up suddenly, and each of them returned to their original figures.

I don't know if the Nightmare Lord changed his strategy. After they ran out of the house, they discovered that the environment had changed. The original small yard had turned into a swamp, and the old house behind him disappeared after the ooze monster came out.

The taciturn man immediately reminded: "This should be my nightmare, everyone be careful. This slime monster is not very strong, but it is a special trouble."

"Leave it to me!" Julian said without hesitation.

As mentioned in the man's introduction to the ooze monster just now, physical attacks are useless against it, and it is also immune to most magical attacks.

This immune magic attack is mainly aimed at elemental magic, so magic can work.

Julian's magic comes from the devil's contract provided by the system, borrowing the energy of the hell plane, which is a kind of magic independent of elemental magic. To put it bluntly, his magic is only a superficial imitation of elemental magic. The effect is actually demonic energy at work.

He just quietly applied a corrosion technique to the slime monster, and it has already worked, that's why he is so confident.

The fighting process was lackluster. The ooze monster fought with its impenetrable body. Once it was targeted, the result was no surprise at all.

There is nothing to drop from killing the ooze, but they changed places at the moment of killing the ooze.

This time, everyone was at a loss, only Julian's face changed suddenly, and a cloud of anger ignited in his eyes.
