"What is the Great Prophet?"
"It is said to be a master of special effects. It has created many pictures and videos on the internet. It claims that some of the works are from the future, scenes that can be seen from a certain place."
"Because many of its prophecies have come true, it is called the Great Prophet … That is why we are here."
This was a space full of mycelium, both on the ground and on the walls. However, the mycelium was not dense, so it could be seen that this was … a civilian's home.
Sparse mycelium crawled on the furniture and carpets. Through the window, they could see that snow was falling outside. Both the streets and the buildings were full of strange-shaped fungi.
This was what the fungal world looked like on the surface. Although it was not easy to escape from the scary movie theater, the Scholar still felt uncomfortable.
However, since it was the Scholar who proposed the investigation mission, it had to see it to the end, and it should not encounter any danger now.
The only problem was … "I don't know if it is this house."
The Scholar looked around at the house that was invaded by the fungi. Previously, it had done some research and found out the general location of the Great Prophet's residence.
This Great Prophet was the Voidfolk who created the picture of the stars. This prophet was not like other prophets who only said that something would happen at a certain time, but it was a very … accurate picture, and it said that it was a picture of a certain place in the future.
Because it was very accurate, it was very famous. Even the Scholar who was born on the Wanderer had heard of it.
Of course, the Scholar had only heard a little about it. After all, it did not pay much attention to this kind of thing before. However, it was easy to find out where such a famous character lived.
However, it did not find the specific address, only that … it probably lived in this building. Therefore, there was no need to investigate the movie. It was faster to come here directly.
As the Scholar thought, it quickly walked into the room. Like the hall, the room was full of fungi. The Scholar saw two skeletons lying on the bed covered in mycelium … and a video device between them.
The Scholar picked up the square-shaped device and poked it a few times, and a three-dimensional image popped out.
"This thing can still be used?" Cryopteris said. "The energy system installed inside … Is it not random?"
"How can the energy system be random …" The Scholar said. "But I did not expect this to be so durable, but this is good."
The scholar poked around on the screen, opening one folder after another. However, these were just videos.
These videos recorded … the lives of the two skeletons lying on the bed when they were still alive. They traveled everywhere and had fun everywhere.
The Scholar also saw a recent video. In this video, the two Voidfolk were hugging each other, holding guns, and at the same time … they committed suicide.
"They sure love each other," Cryopteris said. "We should also love each other."
The scholar looked at Cryopteris and said, "That's … impossible."
"Furthermore, there is something strange about it." The Scholar said, "They committed suicide with the video on. Logically speaking, after they committed suicide, the video should be on until the battery runs out. They didn't set it to turn off automatically, so why is it still on?"
The scholar said, "Who … turned it off?"
"Why do you care?" Cryopteris said. "They are not great prophets."
"That might not be true," the Scholar said. "They might be … Ah ah ah!"
The Scholar suddenly screamed because one of the skeletons lying on the bed suddenly moved and grabbed the scholar's hand.
In the scream, the video device that the Scholar was holding fell to the ground. At the same time, it saw the other skeleton shaking and trying to get up.
"Ah ah ah!" The Scholar immediately shook off the skeleton that grabbed it and ran out of the hall without looking back. It ran out of the house and slammed the door that was covered by the fungus.
"Do you have to be so scared?" Cryopteris said. "Those are just bones. You've faced stronger monsters."
"Phew …" The Scholar calmed down and replied, "Don't you know? A moving corpse is scarier than a giant beast. "
"Is that so? You two are so strange, "Cryopteris said.
"But if you think about it, there's nothing to be afraid of …" The Scholar said. "The two that moved earlier were probably because of the fungus. Perhaps the skeletons are full of moving mycelium. Really, what is the fungus doing?"
"Maybe they want to film a horror movie here," Cryopteris said. "Anyway, let's continue to look for the great prophet."
"…"
Then, the Scholar and Cryopteris continued their search. They went door to door. In the process of searching … the Scholar was surprised to find that most of the electrical appliances in these houses were still working.
As long as they had their own batteries, they could be turned on. The one that happened earlier might be an accident, but since so many of them were fine, it meant that the batteries had been replaced.
This was probably caused by the fungi because the Scholar also found more moving skeletons during their investigation.
This time, the Scholar was not as afraid because the skeletons did not suddenly jump up. They had been moving around in these houses for a long time.
The way they moved was like … a normal citizen. They would turn on the 3D screen to watch the news, clean the house, but they would not harm the mycelium. They would even lie down to rest and sleep.
The Scholar could walk past them, and they usually ignored the Scholar. The Scholar also saw from some of the skeletons that there were indeed muscle-like mycelium growing inside these skeletons. Obviously, this was what made them move.
However, after investigating many of these houses, the Scholar found that they were not the great prophet … At least in the video devices in these houses, there was nothing related to the great prophet.
Now, the Scholar came to the last house in this building …
This was the only house that it had not visited.
Because the doors of these houses were not locked, the Scholar could enter easily. After slowly pushing the door open, the Scholar saw …
A group of skeletons were standing in the hall.
They were constantly swaying and twisting their bodies, as if … they were indeed dancing.
However, there was no music. They looked like a group of swaying skeletons. It was quite strange.
While listening to Cryopteris' words, the Scholar walked past the dancing skeletons. "Is there something wrong with the fungi 'mind?"
