Chapter 407 Patient Lumian used the power of the "Respectability" brooch to distort the door-closing action, turning it into sealing the entire room. After completing this task, he, whose appearance had been modified by "lies", did not immediately attack the patient on the bed, but walked to the side and looked down at the other person from a high position. The patient had his eyes closed and remained asleep. His facial features, hairstyle and hair color were indeed those of "I Have a Friend". Seeing that this guy was unaware of his intrusion and was still sleeping soundly, Lumian began to be convinced that he was a substitute. According to the statement in the letter from Ms. "Magician", "I have a friend" who is at least a Sequence 6 "Hypnotist" of the "Psychologist" pathway, with a small probability of being a Sequence 5 "Dream Walker". On this pathway, no matter which sequence, everyone is very good at observation, and it is impossible for someone to walk up to them like this and still be ignorant and sleeping soundly. The problem now is that with such a substitute, it is completely impossible to tell where the trap is. Under the dim moonlight shining through the curtains, the patient on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. Lumian’s figure instantly appeared in those flaxen eyes. Almost at the same time, Lumian saw the dark void again, saw the stars that looked like countless blinking eyes, and saw the invisible door composed of mysterious symbols that came to life. In his heart and in his ears, a voice that seemed to come from the depths of the void and the source of the soul rang out: "Go through it, through this invisible door, and you will have your life changed and gain endless knowledge...
"Everyone has divinity and can hear the voice of the origin of this world. If you want to hear it clearly, you must open this invisible door and enter behind it..." Lumian's head began to throb as he "saw" the invisible door slowly opening, feeling as if every word of the voice was transforming into a living, strange creature in his mind. The voice sounded again, with a bit of confusion and doubt, mumbling to itself: "Where is the end of the world? What was the universe like at the beginning? "Which god created all this, and who created him... "What is outside the universe like? What are the differences between other worlds... "What is the difference between humanity and divinity? Is the full knowledge of oneself humanity or divinity... "Where is the dividing line between madness and reason? Is madness the final destination of every living being?..." Such words were both a reflection on mystical knowledge and seemed to be seeking answers to certain philosophical questions. Lumian's head hurt more and more after hearing them. He felt the pain of a steel drill inserted directly into his head and stirring his fragile brain for the first time in a long time. Moreover, these problems also brought about strange changes in his own spirituality and the environment around him: Madness began to surge, as if testing the boundaries of reason; the darkness around him seemed to be endowed with human nature, and began to wriggle; the bed in front of him and the floor under his feet slowly outlined strange patterns. Even though Lumian himself did not see it, his body suddenly felt a strong itch, and he wished that the outer layer of skin could be torn off completely... "Is there something that transcends all limitations and conceptual thinking..." The voice was still asking questions to the void. In the wriggling darkness, something indescribable is taking shape little by little. Lumian was completely unable to resist or stop it, and could only watch helplessly as the great terror came to pass with a severe headache. At this moment, a dazzling, brilliant flash of lightning appeared before his eyes. The huge tree seemed to have grown from the kingdom of gods, and every silvery-white "branch" made a buzzing sound. Rumble! As the silver-white lightning struck the patient on the bed, Lumian heard the thunder that shook his eardrums and soul. This shook all the strange creatures that were animated by those words out of his body, significantly relieving the throbbing pain in his head, leaving only the dizziness caused by the roar. The terrifying lightning ravaged the body of the patient on the bed. Lumian, who was several steps away, felt his skin was pricked by countless fine needles. He felt both dense pain and numbness. Faintly, he heard sacred chanting echoing, which seemed to say "I come, I see, I record", and the ward became darker and darker, as if pushed into a mysterious space isolated from the outside world by some force.
Lumian let out a breath and looked at the bed again, seeing that the patient had turned black all over, like charcoal, with a burnt smell emanating from him. The body that was clinging to the torn hospital gown, sheets and quilt began to fade away, as if it had turned into a dark shadow. The surface of the shadow was cracked with cracks, and each crack was covered with mysterious patterns and symbols, which looked like eyes and hundreds or thousands of mouths constantly opening and closing. Before Lumian could see the change clearly, his eyes were filled with pure, clear, golden sunlight. The sacred, unreal voice echoed in his ears again. When his vision returned to normal, there was only a faint black mark left on the charred surface of the bed, twisting strangely there, like a snake creature with its vital parts pierced. It was indeed a trap...Lumian was not surprised at all. He also judged from the "illusion" elements such as the starry void and the invisible door composed of cruising symbols that the patient and a secret doll of "Loki" were gifts from the same evil god, and the one who served as a substitute for "I have a friend" was obviously of a higher sequence. "Have 'Loki' and 'I Have a Friend' ever taken action against a secret organization that believes in an evil god? "This is the will of 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun'. What does He want to achieve? "What is the corresponding purpose that made 'I have a friend' choose to stay in Trier? "This stand-in is also his naked mockery of his pursuers? "I know you are looking for me, and I know what clues you can find. Why am I deliberately giving you some hope?" Thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind as he tried to analyze the situation from the perspective of "I have a friend" and find clues as to where he was hiding. He felt that given the dangerousness of the patient just now, "I have a friend" and "Loki" would not be able to capture him alive and make him a member of their team. The fact that "Loki" has a secret doll with a similar method shows that the patient just now was not actively and consciously cooperating with them. Combined with the Stand's confused and doubtful tone and endless questions, Lumian suspected that he had been driven mad by certain knowledge and truths when he obtained the Gift or in the process of using his abilities, and had become a true mental patient. "I have a friend" relied on the fact that he was a professional "psychologist" to constantly guide the patient to believe in himself and make him friendly. Finally, "I have a friend" reached the level of being able to "convince" the other party and allowed him to hold a ceremony to pray for a change in appearance. Thinking of this, Lumian glanced at the window with iron bars and saw that the deep darkness from before had faded away, and the crimson moonlight penetrated the not-too-thick glass and shone into the ward. In contrast, at the edge of Delta Asylum, where everything was originally normal, the darkness became much thicker, and the void seemed to be slightly curved, as if it had been closed into a sphere. After getting rid of the dangerous patient, Ms. "Magician" did not use any other abilities, but simply made the entire asylum and the surrounding lawns enter a similar hidden state. This seemed to be telling Lumian that he should solve problems that he could solve by himself. What I can help you with is not to let the noise here attract Trier's official Beyonders. Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and started by looking for "Loki", quickly filtering out things related to "April Fool's Day" in his mind. He gradually came up with a guess and even formed a complete "story": "I have a friend" was once a doctor, nurse or patient in Delta Asylum. One day, he discovered a strange patient who always asked various philosophical questions. Under the guidance of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", "I have a friend" began to contact the patient. In the process, he inevitably discovered that there were some gifted people who believed in a certain evil god hiding around the other party. So, with the help of "Loki", the two drove away those problematic guys and gained control over the strange patient. "Loki" also took the opportunity to gain a secret doll. After "Loki" was resurrected, the reminded "I have a friend" took advantage of the strange patient's trust in him to perform ritual magic and pray to "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", thus becoming a substitute and a walking trap. As for “I have a friend”, his appearance must have changed and his whereabouts are unknown. While Lumian was feeling annoyed, he suddenly thought of something: Jenna is a stand-in for "I Have a Friend" who came by luck. But if you only encounter a Stand, and a Stand that represents a trap, how can it be considered good luck? This is bad luck!
Unless, by following this substitute, you can really find "I have a friend", or what Janna encountered at that time was not just a substitute, but also "I have a friend", but she did not recognize it or see it directly! Both of them indicate that "I have a friend" is most likely still in this mental hospital! Regardless of whether the trap ultimately worked, it was easy for the pursuers to overlook the problems of the asylum itself, thinking that "I have a friend" must have moved his hiding place long ago. The oil lamp is the darkest and most easily forgotten place! Thinking of this, Lumian turned around abruptly, opened the heavy door, and rushed to the corridor of the asylum. With a loud crash, he crashed through the window at the corner of the stairs and landed on the lawn surrounded by the main building and the annexes on both sides. At the same time, he used the "Face of Nisse" to transform himself into the patient just now. Then, Lumian asked the starry sky loudly on the lawn: "Where is the end of the world? What was the universe like at the beginning? "Which god created all this, and who created him..." The sound echoed throughout the asylum and reached every room. Just a few seconds later, Lumian heard Franka's voice: "There are unusual movements in the doctor's duty room and nurse workstation on the first floor, as well as in the first ward of the west annex on the third floor." Lumian laughed when he heard his companion's message. He pressed his hands hard into the void in front of him, causing the red flame to burn instantly. The flames spread rapidly, creating an invisible spider web that covered the entire building. The spider web was layered and extended into every room, monitoring all human movements. This consumed nearly half of Franka's spiritual power and a great deal of time to prepare and maintain. The red flames turned into three giant burning snakes, running along the spider web towards the doctor's duty room and nurse's workstation on the first floor, and then towards the ward on the third floor.
