The Modern Age of the Mysterious - Vol 2 Chapter 690

“Such a huge amount of energy?” Sean couldn’t help but widen his eyes.縿

What surprised Moonlight was that they were in the darkness at the moment, but Sean’s eyes reflected a strong yellow light—even without looking directly, he knew that there was big trouble ahead.

Xiao En, who observed through the spirit vision, blinked. He saw many terracotta figurine fragments scattered around the energy group.

Presumably that huge sunset combined the energy of all these soul residues.

Tens of thousands, unimaginable.

With such a size, even if Ivan’s Thunderbird hadn’t absorbed it, if it faced it directly, it would be blasted to pieces.

Its location is just not far from the exit indicated by Alicia. They couldn’t leave R’lyeh without passing it.

“How did this come about?” While asking questions, the answer gradually emerged in his mind.縿

He saw some soul slags bumped into each other by chance, their energy bombarded each other, forming a resonance, destroying more soul slags gathered together, all these energies were condensed together, as if turning into a huge vortex.

The remnants of these soul surges gradually stabilized and became a new form.

Luckily, this huge evening-yellow blob doesn’t move. Otherwise, it will be like a huge planet attracting the surrounding celestial bodies, gradually absorbing the energy of all the soul **** in the barren station, and turning into a giant entrenched here…

“Is it conscious?”

The next scene seems to answer this question directly: some small black dots are whirling and circling in the setting sun. There are six dots in total, and their trajectories are symmetrical. Sometimes they gather and sometimes separate, but they obviously symbolize some kind of regularity…

“There is such a strange law inside, I’m afraid it’s conscious.” Sean ended the vision. After returning to the darkness, the eyes were dim for a long time.

“There is no record in Stella’s notes. It seems that this thing was formed after his visit.” He turned to Arthur. “But we can’t reach the exit without going through this big thing. 縿

“Why don’t we go forward first, within a safe distance, we will test him and see if there is any way to lure him away or eliminate him?”

Arthur nodded: “That’s the only way.”

The group moved on.

Thinking about it carefully, there are still some opportunities hidden in the danger: the price of the formation of “Sunset” is the destruction of a large number of soul residues. At present, the place where it is located is not very dense with soul slag. This allowed them to somewhat concentrate on dealing with this big guy.

Plus, if the heavyweight wasn’t so cunning, they could use that to lure it away…

Given the right timing, it’s perfectly possible to escape R’lyeh before it returns…

The big plan will come true. They will eventually escape from R’lyeh as being hated by Kruvitan.縿

Not only that, but also brought back Stella’s notebook.

“There is movement.” Arthur interrupted Sean’s thoughts with his raised hand. After he reminded, Sean also heard that voice.

It was a faint, slightly noisy humming. The sound was especially obvious in the empty darkness.

Like an old radio that’s been forgotten in a dump, its batteries still running.

A group of people hide their figures, and their spiritual vision focuses…

what is that? Moonlight couldn’t help but widen his eyes, while Xiao En frowned.

They saw a small thing gathering something in the dark. The body of the thing was made of metal, in the shape of a cylinder, with slender limbs extending from the cylinder, like some kind of scribbled stick figure. Interestingly, its head is a hemispherical transparent container, and a human brain is soaked in a fluorescent green solution.縿

The mouth of this strange thing is a small trumpet, and the strange humming sound comes from that horn.

What’s this? A walking pot of eternal dreams?

Grabbing a transparent green mushroom, the gatherer suddenly stopped humming. It raised its head, and the visual parts hidden somewhere seemed to have noticed something.

The ectoplasm that Moonlight used to observe was too close, and it actually observed it.

Throwing down the mushroom in his hand, the Eternal Dream Jar with limbs turned and ran away.

“Follow!”

A group of people rushed over. The brain robot was obviously terrified, and the mouth that acted as a trumpet let out a scream. He waved his hands and ran away screaming.縿

After passing through the winding corridors, passing through rooms, and entering a spacious space, he shouted: “Boss! There are explorers! There are explorers coming!”

“What’s your name!” A male voice sounded, “Isn’t it a good thing that the Mystery Explorer is here!?”

The brain machine fled behind the man, and Xiao En and others arrived. Sitting half-sitting on the ground in front of him, looking tired and weak, was actually a human being.

Not only that, but he’s a mystery seeker. If it’s just that, it’s not worth being too surprised. The reason why Xiao En and his party were stunned was that the mystery seeker in front of them was actually the well-known “Professor of Stealing Dreams” Lehman.

·

Lehman is a King-level explorer. He once served as a quick response team in the Aegwyn angel recovery incident and together with the thug Carlos suppressed the recovered angel.

This expert and scholar involved in dreams can be regarded as indirectly saving Sean and Moonlight once. However, that was a long time ago, when Moonlight was just a Jack-level rookie, and Sean’s face was even just the apprentice mask “Nobody”.縿

Today, the opponent is still only at the King level, and Xiao En has already caught up with the strong man in his eyes.

“You are Professor Lehman? Why are you here?”

The professor was dirty and looked weak. Deep in the raised eyes, some dream green was stained: “I have been trapped here for more than a month…”

He pointed to the timid robot behind him: “This is my assistant, Smeagol. If he hadn’t helped collect some wild fruits and mushrooms, I’m afraid I would have starved to death here…”

The fruits of R’lyye plants are mixed with turbid soul surge energy. Frequent consumption will not only harm the body, but also cause hallucinations like drinking Beon… No wonder the professor’s eyes show that color.

“What the **** is going on? How are you trapped here?”

Lehman took the water that Xiao En and his party handed over, raised his head and drank for a while, and then continued: “There is a big guy in front, a huge energy body…

“It’s there to make sure I don’t get out.”

He handed the bottle back gratefully: “Thank you. I feel better.”

The little robot named Smeagol next to him seemed more comfortable, and he put the collected mushroom food into a clay pot.

“Since the recovery of Kruvitan, the dream world is no longer as peaceful as it used to be.

“In order to ensure the safety of the public’s dreamland, I have always maintained the habit of monitoring the entrance of the Great Dreamland.

“During the last observation, I discovered that an unstable energy aggregate appeared in the former site of R’lyeh.

“In the beginning, it was just a fusion of dozens of those yellow thunderbolts. After that, its volume slowly increased. It is like a seed formed by a storm, and it will brew into a terrible disaster.”

“This is the entrance area of ​​the big dream. Any disturbance will affect the tranquility of the dream of the collective consciousness of mankind. This energy body exudes extremely strong hatred and anger, although he has done nothing in this empty city , but just because it exists, it has already affected people in real life…”

“Did any specific incident occur?”

“Yes.” Lehman propped himself up and sat up a bit, “Someone reported to me that someone died in his dream.

“When I went to examine the man’s body, I found that his brain was scorched… There was still that sharp yellow pulse of energy in the nerves…

“So I knew: the existence of the giant Xihuang Lord has already threatened the lives of ordinary people.

“In order to eliminate the risk, I want to study it, and then submit a detailed report to the association to form a crusade team with matching strength…

“Unexpectedly, I was discovered by it during the investigation.

“I finally escaped its pursuit and hid here. However, the two assistant explorers I brought were killed…

“In order to ensure that I can’t leave here, it guarded my way out.”

After hearing what Lehman said, Sean frowned worriedly: In other words, the thing he called “Lord of the Sunset” could move. And the reason why it is still there is to ensure that Lehman will not escape.

Arthur and Sean exchanged glances.

The veteran mysteries tainted with dream green in front of him at least brought good news: he has some information about the Lord of the Evening Yellow.

This means that they can find a way to formulate escape tactics next.
