Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

The "Hermit" rode on the pumpkin carriage, following the bright wool on the ground, and continued to go down along the dark tunnel.

After an unknown amount of time, she came to a naturally formed cave.

The not-so-real bright wool ball stopped here.

The large group of mice and the pumpkin carriage disappeared, and the "Hermit" floated down, stepping on the ground with both feet.

Without taking off the glasses on her nose, she could see the pools of pus and blood splashed on the ground and eroded the soil in the extremely dark environment.

In a trance, a scene from the past seemed to appear in front of the "Hermit":

A vague figure staggered towards the cave, and with every step, a ball of pus and blood fell from his body, hitting the surface of the rocks and soil, making a sizzling corrosion sound.

The "Hermit" bypassed the pools of pus and blood and entered the natural cave in front, but there was no one here, and even the track of pus and blood came to an abrupt end.

It was just like the figure dripping with pus and blood had finally exhausted its flesh and blood, leaving no residue, or had simply evaporated.

He disappeared.

"Kemero just disappeared like that..." The "Hermit" immediately used magic to create nine blazing suns.

This brought about a very high temperature, and the pus and blood on the ground showed signs of evaporation.

Then, the holder of the Major Arcana took off the glasses on her nose.

The pus and blood she saw suddenly changed.

This was not pus and blood, but clearly a complex, densely packed text or symbol entangled together.

These texts or symbols combined into a mass, eroding different rocks and soil, bright red and dazzling.

With the "Hermit"'s knowledge of mysticism, it was difficult to identify what they represented.

"Derived from the flesh and blood of Kemero?" The "Hermit" considered for a moment and decided to peel off all the bloody texts or symbols and take them away, asking a high-ranking "decryption scholar" to take a look.

…………

Morola, "Carnivore" bar, second floor.

Lumian had a nightmare again, but this time, he knew he was dreaming more clearly.

He dreamed that he was walking in a dark tunnel, with stone slabs under his feet and bricks on both sides. There was a rusty iron wall lamp at intervals on the wall, but none of them was lit.

Lumian walked aimlessly, sometimes turning right, sometimes walking down the stairs, and sometimes sitting against the wall to rest for a while.

Suddenly, he saw a group of yellowish lights in front of him.

Under the light, a group of figures covered in black robes appeared.

They all held lanterns that burned quietly, and their eyes were covered with thick layers of black cloth.

The law enforcement team... the experimental team... Lumian suddenly understood.

Am I dreaming about the situation in the underground mausoleum?

This is indeed very similar to the seal information of "0-01" and the descriptions in those books...

With the help of the knowledge I have mastered and the pollution I have suffered, I have restored a tunnel in the underground mausoleum in my dream?

At this time, although the law enforcers and experimenters were blinded and could not see anything, they walked very steadily and kept moving forward in a straight line.

I, I don't seem to be blindfolded now... Will there be any abnormality? No, I'm just in a dream... Although Lumian was having a lucid dream, his thoughts were still a little dull and sluggish, as if he was affected by the dream.

As he was about to pass by the team of experimenters holding lanterns, his eyes naturally fell on one of the lanterns.

A black shadow was reflected on the glass shell of the lantern fixed by the copper metal frame.

This shadow looked like a human, flashed by, and jumped onto another lantern.

This is not my shadow... nor is it the lantern bearer's... Is it, the "man in the mirror" that they were eroded by the power of the mausoleum? Or, the "man in the mirror" who sneaked into Morola? Lumian was startled and felt that he had become more sober.

He stared at it and saw the slightly twisted black shadow that seemed to be from a human pause and look back at him from the glass surface of the lantern reflecting the firelight.

As soon as their eyes made contact, the shadow disappeared instantly.

Lumian's eyes shook, and the entire tunnel illuminated by the light of the lantern shook violently.

In just a few seconds, Lumian woke up involuntarily and opened his eyes.

He was still shaking, his bed creaked, and the house was clanging.

Earthquake? Lumian made the judgment without any surprise.

In Morola, he had encountered four earthquakes, one volcanic eruption, five heavy rainstorms, four hurricanes, three tornadoes, two hailstorms, and two blizzards... Many times, there were more than two extreme weather events in a day. Of course, sometimes it was just ordinary weather changing all day long.

According to Lumian's body measurements and experience, the current earthquake could not destroy the heavy and solid building of the "Carnivore" bar, so he lay there very peacefully, without any thought of getting out of bed and escaping to the street.

If it really doesn't work, he can still "teleport" to the Church of Knowledge.

Lumian looked at the still shaking ceiling and recalled the nightmare just now:

"Did the earthquake just happen to wake me up, or did my experience in the nightmare trigger the earthquake?"

After thinking carefully for a while, Lumian felt that it was the latter.

But this means that his nightmare tonight is really connected to the underground mausoleum!

"Just now, I was wandering in the underground mausoleum in a strange form of existence, without blindfolding or holding a lantern?

"The images I just saw and the scenes I experienced were all real and happening?

"Is the 'man in the mirror' on the lantern also real?

"Well, he doesn't look like the 'man in the mirror' of the lantern bearer, and his physical condition is quite different.

"The 'man in the mirror' from Trier? He used the power of the special mirror world to explore the underground mausoleum before me, Albus, and Julie?

"If that's the case, then he may have started for many days, and he may not be far from success...

"When I saw him, he also saw me... What would I look like, what state, and what form of existence would he see?

"Well, if you enter the underground mausoleum without a blindfold, the experimenter will see the corresponding 'man in the mirror' in his own eyes, and be replaced? "

A series of questions flashed through Lumian's mind, and he gradually felt anxious that time was running out and he could not wait any longer.

He sat up and looked toward the window.

At this time, the earthquake had subsided, and the sky seemed to be a little brighter outside the not-too-thick curtain.

Lumian exhaled, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and decided to sleep for a while, until six in the morning.

He must stay in the best condition to complete the subsequent three days of study, otherwise he might lose control or die from studying.

When he woke up naturally, Lumian used Les prepared breakfast, and went directly to the Church of Knowledge. He sat down in his old seat, reading a book while monitoring the situation at the entrance of the underground mausoleum.

In this way, if there is a change, he can "teleport" there in the first time and go underground!

After the thunder and lightning and the clear sky alternated once, Lumian finished his morning study and prepared to return to the "Carnivore" bar for lunch.

When there was still one-third of the way left, he heard a scream full of pain and a little joy from the direction of the bar.

"Julie started again? She is in a good mood today, but not a bad mood..."

"Besides, noon is the busiest time in the bar... Is someone harassing her?" Lumian shook his head, thinking that Julie was too unprofessional as an employee.

Not long after, he returned to the "Carnivore" bar and saw that there was no one in front of the bar and inside the hall. Almost all the tables and chairs were overturned, and the cups were broken in different places. The wine was spilled all over the floor, and some of it had frozen into ice.

"It's like Julie suddenly went crazy, attacked all the drinkers, and drove them all away...

"What happened again?" Lumian was immediately on high alert.

As the owner of the "Carnivore" bar, he felt sorry for the waste of wine, but he also noticed obvious abnormalities.

He remembered that when he went out in the morning, Julie was fine, and even took the initiative to help Les prepare the ingredients for today.

Lumian sniffed and smelled a faint smell of blood and a little bit of chestnut flower.

For most men, the latter smell is familiar enough.

"No, according to my observation, Julie will complete the harvest before the target explodes completely, not giving him the opportunity to reach the peak of pleasure. This time, she actually left a more obvious smell... She actually let the original owner of the collection enjoy it? "Lumian frowned, followed the smell of blood, went up to the second floor, and pushed open Julie's door.

On Julie's bed, naked Les was lying there, his eyes wide open, his mouth half-puckered, and his legs were a bloody mess.

He was dead.

"Did Julie attack Les?" Lumian looked into Les' eyes and saw the extreme joy, relaxation, and obvious pain frozen in them. There was no sign of an extraordinary battle in the whole room, only the splashing blood and the chestnut flower smell from several sources told the story that had happened before.

This made Lumian suspect that Les had voluntarily gone to bed with Julie.

And this human meat cook had long known what Julie would do.

Similarly, Julie's behavior was different from usual, and it seemed that Les had completed his explosion.

"Did Les try to get relief? Or did he fail to take the initiative? "Lumian didn't find it hard to accept this, but he felt it was too sudden.

Lumian cast his eyes on the lifeless bloodstains on Les's lips.

After looking at him for a few seconds, he suddenly remembered what Julie had said to Les:

"I decided to seduce you one last time."

Finally...Lumian's eyes suddenly narrowed:

In Julie's opinion, is this the last moment?

Is she going to launch her final move?

Where is she going now?
