Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert recalled the reminder that Lina wrote on the tent when she was dying. Seeing the scene in front of him, Hobert suddenly understood that Lina might have been a little confused at the time and used the wrong grammar.

That hint should be: the curse is in the dream.

And this "curse" is actually the curse of the oil painting. Anyone who has seen or been close to the oil painting will have a wooden sculpture of their own in this hall.

In other words, regardless of whether the tomb owner's sarcophagus has not been opened, he will be "cursed" by the oil painting, killed silently in the dream world, or attacked by monsters again when he is weak.

Lina was an Extraordinary of the "God of Death" pathway, and her spirituality was sharper than that of Extraordinaries of other pathways, so she probably understood the meaning of the curse before she died.

Of course, the reminder before her death was not for Hobert and others, but for her companions, because as long as they see or come into contact with the oil painting, they will definitely suffer the same curse as her.

But how to solve this problem?

Only then did Hobert realize that he did not have much extraordinary knowledge about dreams, and the problem he was facing was a mixture of dreams and curses, leaving Hobert with no good solution for the moment.

If that doesn't work, we can only try to move the wooden statue from the hall to the real world.

Kristen on the side was also holding her chin and thinking. After a while, he suddenly said: "Maybe that item may be useful."

He opened his briefcase and actually put his whole arm in to rummage through it.

This made Hobert couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the briefcase Christine carried to and from get off work every day was also a magical item.

After some rummaging, he finally found what he was looking for: a vintage blower.

This is a blower that looks like a medieval blacksmith. It has two handles, and the middle is like a fold in the middle of an accordion. Hold the two handles and squeeze them in the middle to blow out a strong blast of wind.

Christine threw the briefcase to Hobert. He took the blower and blew it towards Hobert's wooden statue. What came out was a stream of pure white smoke, and Hobert's wooden statue seemed to turn into gas. , rolling and disappearing as the smoke blown out.

"It really works." Christine explained: "The oil painting 'collects' some spirituality in you so that it can find you anytime and anywhere.

"The essence of the shape of this wooden statue is actually a ray of your spirituality, and the blower in my hand can blow away the spiritual bodies of ordinary people. If you blow it with it, this ray of your spirituality will no longer exist."

Spirituality can be restored, so it did no real harm to Hobert.

Kristine was about to open the briefcase and put away the blower, but Hobert quickly said: "Father, those four wooden statues are teammates who survived yesterday's exploration operation. Let me blow their wooden statues away too. "

Christine took the briefcase and handed the blower to Hobert.

Hobert picked up the blower and blew it four times, and the wooden statues of Auston and others disappeared.

As for the wooden statues of the "Guardians", of course Hobert would not care about them and let them seek their own happiness.

Hobert helped Christine put the blower away, only to realize that Christine was looking at the mural out front.

The mural in front is completely different from the mural at the entrance. It depicts huge spiders with human faces and compound eyes.

They are weaving a net. Under the net, there are intoxicated people and intoxicated beasts.

"The dream spiders." Christine explained: "Their compound eyes are one of the main ingredients of the 'Requiem Master' potion.

"Your guess is correct. The oil painting will use the power of the Dream Spider to sneak into your dreams and kill you in your dreams."

Hobert looked at these spiders and thought of a certain unlucky dragon king in the "childhood classic".

In the extraordinary world, killing someone in a dream doesn't seem to be too difficult.

Kristine took off a gray button on her clothes: "This is the sealed item from the 'Spirit Witch' that I just mentioned. I can use it as a disguise."

Christine injects spirituality into the button, and ripples are created again with the button as the center, but this time the ripples are visible, after all, this is a dream world.

Under the influence of the button, Christine and Hobert gradually faded away like spiritual beings exuding spirituality. Hobert could even see the tulips behind him through Christine's body.

Christian raised his hand and looked at his arm. He was very satisfied with his operation. Then he tried to enter the front area, and as expected, it did not cause any changes in the mural.

Following Christine's actions, Hobert realized that some of his previous ideas were really shallow.

Christine behaves more like an Extraordinary of the "Black Emperor" path, who can quickly find and exploit loopholes in the rules. This is how to solve the problem of the wooden statue, and it is also the same to avoid the harassment of "Dream Spider".

At the same time, Hobert realized: knowledge is not just seeing it, but also having your own understanding!

In terms of force alone, Hobert's current state is definitely one he can fight at this level, but in a mysterious and extraordinary world, being able to fight is only the most basic requirement.

The more he comes into contact with the mysterious parts of the world, the more he realizes his lack of knowledge.

However, it is difficult to make up for this shortcoming. We can only follow knowledgeable people like Kristine and Azik, watch more, learn more and think more.

"Have you noticed that the prey in the murals are human beings, extraordinary creatures, and beasts?" Christine's words interrupted Hobert's reflection: "It's as if, in the eyes of the owner of this dream, humans and extraordinary creatures are , no different from wild beasts.”

He suddenly stopped: "This seems to be a philosophical question. What is the difference between humans, extraordinary creatures, and beasts?"

"De." Hobert almost blurted out.

"A strange pronunciation, what does it mean?"

Hobert suddenly discovered that words such as "morality" and "social rules" in the Loen language could not explain what "virtue" was.

This is one of the cornerstones of Eastern culture in his heart. The Duke of Zhou used this to distinguish humans from beasts, but Western culture has never had a similar philosophical concept.

There is no similar philosophical concept in the northern and southern continents today, so many people think that there is no problem at all with the idea that slaves are two-legged animals.

After thinking for a long time, Hobert said: "It can be understood as the opposite of moral turpitude and lack of conscience!"

"Virtue" is difficult to explain, but "bad virtue" is easy to understand.

Kristine thought for a while, then smiled and said: "A very good idea. What is taught in philosophy courses in universities now is quite good!"

Hobert smiled guiltily. This was not taught in the university he attended when he first arrived in this world, nor in the universities in the AD era.

The former is because there is no such philosophical concept, and the latter is because it is engraved in the bones without being taught.
