From Prisoner to Si Chen

"But……"

The bruised and swollen Mr. Oystercatcher on the side spoke hesitantly.

"Last time we watched the movie, Miss Sparrow and I both drank locally produced drinks, which obviously contained lake water. Why didn't we change?"

"That's too little."

Mr. Stork seemed to have some understanding of this and turned around to explain.

"Furthermore, the improvement of gnosis does not have very obvious characteristics... No, it is not completely absent. Haven't you noticed that after being injured in the movie, the mental malaise and phantom pain in the limbs in reality are much better than ours? Faster?"

Mr. Oystercatcher was startled.

He and Miss Sparrow looked at each other and nodded.

"It seems...that's indeed the case."

"So the information Mr. Snow Owl shared with us is probably true."

Mr. Stork smiled and nodded.

Expectation appeared in his eyes.

Jilan looked at everyone, suddenly thought of something, and reminded:

"I have felt that there is something wrong with the heroine Fima Costello a long time ago. It is best for everyone to confirm before setting off."

The four people in the gathering were slightly startled, but soon they also heard the subtext of Ji Lan and nodded.

"Indeed, it was Fima who gave us the drinks that made Miss Sparrow accidentally fall into the trap. Maybe her parents were also influenced by the Black Lake and became a member of the 'Lake God Cult' early on, or even behind the scenes. Maybe even the leader!”

Mr. Stork analyzed in a deep voice.

"It's just because of her status as a heroine that we subconsciously ignored this."

"I don't think so." Miss Seagull frowned slightly and objected. "The Fima family are Dawn believers and are unlikely to abandon their faith and turn to the so-called 'Lake God'."

Everyone fell silent.

If faced with the temptation of immortality, can anyone really stick to their misty faith?

I'm afraid it's hard to say.

"Just confirm it and we'll know." Jilan said calmly. "First lure her away temporarily, and then go to her room to check. Maybe you can find something."

"Mr. Snow Owl is right."

Mr. Stork immediately expressed his opinion.

"I will find a way to ask Fima to go downstairs later, such as asking her to buy some trauma medicine for us..."

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

Mr. Stork put on his black hat again and walked out of the room with his steel core cane.

Not long after, he came back again and nodded to everyone.

The rest of them filed out, quietly walked through the corridor on the second floor, and opened Fima's door.

Everything inside was normal until Mr. Oystercatcher took out a palm-sized red leather student ID card from Fima's backpack.

"This?!" He opened it and looked at it, making a sound of surprise.

"Did you find anything, Mr. Oystercatcher?" Everyone looked at the sound.

Mr. Oystercatcher came up with the certificate, pointed and said:

"Look!"

Everyone gathered around, looked at it, and immediately opened their mouths in surprise.

A sense of absurdity came over me.

The certificate is clearly marked on it:

"Fima Kostro, female, 19 years old, a second-year student in the Department of Archeology at the University of Michigan, recommended by the 'Vita Foundation Orphanage' for further study."

"Orphan?!" Miss Sparrow said in surprise.

"She has never had so-called parents. It was just a product of her imagination after she accidentally bought a drink produced in Fayelan'en Town and drank it..."

Mr. Stork instantly understood the main line of the story.

"Because her inner desire for her parents' love surpassed her desire for the 'elixir', she embarked on a ridiculous journey to find her parents."

Everyone went downstairs with the truth and mixed emotions.

"Are you feeling better?"

Fima came over with gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine in her hands, looking at everyone with concern.

"It's all my fault. I asked you to accompany me here. I didn't expect that the security of 'Faye Lan'en' is so bad. There are so many gangsters and they even injured you."

They looked at each other and sighed inwardly.

Looking at the clueless and angry Fima, she just felt that the other party was extremely pitiful.

Because according to the development of the movie, this unaccompanied young female student will eventually die in that forest or on the shore of the Black Lake on the way to find her "parents".

"It's just a skin injury, it doesn't matter." Mr. Stork said with a smile. "It's more important to find your parents first. Without further ado, let's set out as soon as possible."

"But..." Fima showed worry.

Miss Seagull hugged her, comforted her, and led her out of the hotel.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and followed out.

This time, we still arrived at the Forest Park by public carriage, but when passing the exhibition hall at the entrance, Gillan found an excuse to temporarily leave the team, saying that he would catch up soon.

He watched everyone in the record gathering leave first, and he turned back to the glass exhibition stand of "Mammoth Specimen" and looked up at the huge skeleton.

Gilan now knows that this is not a mammoth specimen at all, but the Lieutenant Colonel Dolomit of the "Expedition Exploration Team"!

It was a monster that mutated from its inner obsession after being polluted by the Black Lake!

'Although I don't know how he died, it doesn't stop me from corrupting it...'

Ji Lan secretly thought, raising his leg and kicking him.

Bang—bang! !

Amidst the loud noise, broken glass splashed all over the floor, frightening the staff. When they saw the familiar figure covered in blood, they felt only fear and anger.

How does the Sheriff's Department do its job? !

It's been several hours since the police were called, and this lunatic hasn't been caught yet, and now he's here again? !

Oh My God! He actually stroked the mammoth skeleton with a weird smile on his face? !

madman! abnormal! !

But none of these staff members dared to stop them, they only cursed in their hearts. Because the madman was holding a shiny short-barreled revolver in his hand, and the black muzzle of the gun was always pointed at their location.

They don't dare to bet with their lives whether the gun is real or not, or whether there are bullets in the gun, let alone whether their imagination will be opened after speaking out.

Gillan ignored the staff.

After he saw the skeleton specimens in front of him rotting away, he smiled.

The colored number in the corner of his sight jumped from "25" to "35".

'After being dead for so long, there are still "10" points of mysterious energy. This shows how powerful the lieutenant colonel's deformed monster is. No wonder even the skeleton can bring me such a sense of oppression... If it is still alive, I I'm afraid it is far from its opponent. ’

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Soon, he recovered his thoughts and passed by the group of staff with a smile.

However, Jilan's smile did not make them feel friendly. Instead, they only felt cold and creepy... They were even more afraid that this person would be emotionally unstable, give them a shot, and then run away laughing.

"Do you have any cigarettes?" Gilan suddenly asked a male staff member.

The man was stunned on the spot and let out a sigh.

Not long after.

Miss Sparrow and others saw Mr. Snow Owl rushing back from behind with a cigarette in his mouth and a revolver, looking in a good mood.
