In the narrow and sealed guest room of the inn.
Fang Xian chanted the worm hymn over and over again.
His spiritual perception was fully activated, sensing the changes in the surrounding environment.
This time, there seemed to be something different.
As he chanted, Fang Xian felt that his spiritual power had changed a little. A part of it had become more active.
This was a completely different feeling from the spell of the broken-winged bird.
Although that part of spiritual power had also become dark and depraved, it was not sharp. Instead, it had a feeling of "life."
Life in the darkness, deformed artwork …
Inexplicably, a few words appeared in Fang Xian's mind.
Rustle! Rustle!
The sound of worms wriggling came to his ears again. Although the power of the spell could not be unleashed, there had been a certain change.
"My exploration is in the right direction."
Fang Xian felt dizzy, but her consciousness was very clear, as if she was tipsy from drinking too much.
He scanned the room.
There seemed to be shadows wriggling in the shadows under the bedside table and the table.
In the corner, outside the casually stacked bag of dried mushrooms, there seemed to be a multi-colored brilliance overflowing like a rainbow, bit by bit, like dust.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xian's pupils suddenly shrank.
He grasped the doorknob and opened the door. He saw Aunt Sophie, the cleaner, walking through the long corridor with a mop and a bucket.
"Sir, do you need cleaning service?"
Sophie, who was wearing an apron, asked.
On her face, colorful mushrooms grew one after another. Her greasy skin was like a toad, covered with warts.
This made Sophie, who was originally just fat, completely turn into a monster.
But the monster did not realize it and asked Fang Xian if he needed room service.
"No need … thank you!"
Fang Xian rolled his eyes, pretending that he did not notice anything, and closed the door with a normal expression.
"This town … Everyone has a problem!"
"Everyone has turned into a monster?"
"Or is it my illusion?"
He took a deep breath and suddenly looked at the unopened mushroom wine on the table.
At this moment, the wine was also rippling with colorful spots of light.
"I need an answer. I need a medium to communicate with the spirits … With my status, a little bit of abnormality shouldn't be able to harm me. Moreover, if I'm not wrong, we've already been affected the moment we entered the town. There's no difference in how deep it is …"
Fang Xian glanced at the colorful particles in the air, then expressionlessly bit the cork of the mushroom wine bottle and poured the wine into his mouth.
Gulp, gulp!
His Adam's apple bobbed, and the fiery wine flowed down his throat like a line of fire.
Rumble!
The small bottle of wine disappeared in an instant. After getting drunk, Fang Xian's eyes blurred. He leaned on the sofa, and an illusion seemed to appear in front of him.
In the dense forest, there were large tracts of mushrooms.
In the depths of the colorful mushroom forest, there was a huge cave.
A faint voice came from the cave.
It was a call, a mantra, a prayer.
It was layered and composed of the voices of men and women of different ages.
"Thank you … for your gift!"
"Thank you for bestowing us with fertility! Thank you for bestowing us with a bountiful harvest! "
"You are the son of the Goddess of Fertility. Thousands of lives converged into your body!"
"Mortals can't describe your complete name, so we can only make it …"
…
"This is … a sacrifice …"
"That name … sounds weird. It's not a language here … Does it come from the land of sunrise?"
"For a hidden existence, a name is very important …"
"Unfortunately, I can't hear it clearly …"
Fang Xian's head was dizzy.
He was like a person who had worked overtime for three days and three nights in a row. He was exhausted to death, but he couldn't sleep. He was enduring torment that could drive him crazy.
He reluctantly opened the hidden button in his belt and took a pill to calm his mind. Only then did he feel less headache.
When he completely recovered, it was already dawn.
"What's wrong?"
Lov heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he was shocked to see Roca with messy hair and bloodshot eyes.
"I think … there's still something wrong with the town. It's not in the town, but outside the town. So, I want to take a look outside the town today …"
Fang Xian took a deep breath and said.
Lov observed him for a moment, and then he nodded slowly in agreement.
Although the two merchants' request to see the mushroom production area was a little strange, the guide they hired did not think too much about it.
After all, it was fine as long as there was money.
"Sirs … The wilderness here is most suitable for growing mushrooms … There was once a drought in history. There was not enough food, and people starved to death outside. We survived with mushrooms …"
The guide pointed at the mushrooms growing under the trees and on the lawn and said proudly, "Also, the mushrooms here are of excellent quality and taste delicious."
"Yes …"
Fang Xian answered absent-mindedly. He was mainly looking for the landmark in the illusion. "Let's go to the next place."
"Okay."
The guide felt that his legs were a little sore, but he could only force a smile and lead Fang Xian and Lov to the next place.
…
After crossing a small hill, the guide pointed proudly at a forest of white mushrooms.
"We call this the Forest of Harvest. The mushrooms grow best here …"
"Huh?"
When Fang Xian saw the sea of white mushrooms, he felt that his spiritual perception was triggered. He knew that he had found the right place.
"Wait here. We'll take a look."
Seeing Fang Xian's expression, Lov said to the guide, and the two of them trudged into the forest.
"This way …"
Fang Xian led the way according to the illusion and an inexplicable feeling.
It didn't take long for them to reach a cave.
There was a stream flowing beside the cave, and the entrance was covered with vines and moss. On the ground, there was a dense forest of colorful mushrooms.
"I think … this is the place!"
Fang Xian said with certainty.
"It seems to have been abandoned for a long time?"
Lov frowned and put a pill under his tongue. "I'll go and take a look. You wait outside. If I don't come out in ten minutes, leave immediately and call for backup!"
Fang Xian wanted to go in himself, but Lov was very determined. He could not find a good reason, so he could only do this.
He watched as Lov took out his revolver and slowly groped his way into the cave.
Less than three minutes later, Lov came out again. "Come in. It's safe inside!"
"Safe?"
Fang Xian was stunned for a moment, but he followed Lov into the cave.
The cave was not deep. They reached the end after walking for a dozen meters.
The dripping spring water kept falling, and the ground was covered with a layer of rotten mud.
The surroundings were empty. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
"This place … probably hasn't been here for a long time."
Lov looked at the ground and said with certainty.
Fang Xian suddenly felt that she had sunk into great confusion.
