Chapter 456: The Confusing Light
Chapter 456: The Confusing Light
On the street, a long red dragon was severed into several pieces, causing chaos and panic among the ordinary citizens and Awakened alike.
Amidst the chaos, a few eccentric artists began playing music, while others grabbed their brushes to swiftly capture the chaotic scene on paper.
The scene before them was like a disaster, attracting those who would film such moments.
Even in danger, they managed to capture precious footage, revealing their wild and carefree nature.
Inside the Embassy, Lindsey and the two girls witnessed the chaos below, unaware of the origin of the strange light.
The messenger present recognized the phenomenon:
"This light... yes, it's an extension of the Dream of Confusion!"
"Excuse me, I have to leave now!"
"The Embassy will be entering a closed-off state. If you stay here, we can guarantee your safety."
After leaving these words, the messenger quickly exited the reception room.
Wah Wah looked at her with a pout:
"Is there such a crazy program in the art festival rehearsals?"
Remote Star immediately shook her head:
"No matter what the art festival brings, it's impossible to open the Dream of Confusion."
"I heard from Mr. Fimbull that this entrance to the Dream of Confusion is usually in a stable state. But when encountering unexpected events, there's a chance for such results."
The two girls continued discussing the truth behind the incident.
Lindsey, however, took action without hesitation, climbing out through the window.
Immediately, the map skill was activated, and the Puzzle Solver was locked in the first position after RPG. As the entire city's structure was laid out on the map, Lindsey looked up and sighed.
The red, yellow, and green markings were densely packed, indicating extreme chaos, making it difficult to distinguish anything.
The Thousand Sails City had a permanent population of over a million.
In such a place, using the map to gather information became a severe interference item.
"Too much information is also a nuisance."
Lindsey complained, focusing her gaze on the surrounding scene.
Fortunately, he had enough game modules to deal with the problem.
Wah Wah and Remote Star quickly caught up with him.
The latter, essentially an actor, had no experience with adventure, causing her tone and expression to reveal her anxiety:
"Wah Wah, what are we going to do next?"
Lindsey replied:
"Protect your own safety."
Remote Star widened her eyes:
"And what about you?"
Lindsey responded without hesitation:
"If this matter settles on its own, then let it be; if it doesn't end by itself, then I'll end it!"
The situation was sudden and unexpected.
But Lindsey's response was resolute.
Remote Star was momentarily stunned.
Wah Wah, while following Lindsey, turned and smiled at her:
"Lindsey is such a brave soul."
"No matter the circumstances, taking action is the most important!"
[...]
Confused Crowd - Scattering and fleeing from north to south.
Fallen Lamppost - Cut by a blade, with an unusually smooth cross-section.
Confusing Radiance - Abnormal Essence, spreading from north to south, seemingly affecting people's emotions.
[...]
Lindsey's gaze switched between the clues.
As soon as one clue was revealed, he immediately looked at other objects, quickly drawing conclusions.
"Go - the problem is in the north!"
The city was in extreme chaos.
The confusing colored light obscured the city's original lighting, making everything around them hazy.
Lindsey ran forward, with Wah Wah closely following.
Wah Wah sang:
"Deep into the night, like a lamp, the Milky Way is the light it shines!"
"Oh, night - let me hold your lamp, as we walk the path where the wind blows!"
Boom -
The dazzling starry sky transformed into a light-filled corridor, tearing through the chaotic colors on the street and illuminating the path ahead of the two.
Lindsey and Wah Wah stepped forward together under the starlight and chaos.
The surrounding clamor seemed to be celebrating their steps.
"..."
Watching this scene, Remstar stood still for a while, dazed.
When the light was about to fade, she finally reacted and hurriedly chased after the two people ahead.
The trio headed north.
The chaotic radiance influenced people's emotions in the streets.
Ordinary citizens' fear and sorrow escalated, making them wail and cry out in despair.
Some emotions were extreme, yet the artists with low-quality essence were also deceived. They even launched endless attacks on the surroundings, be it buildings or living people.
Wah wah shouted to lindsey:
"Lindsey, these people attacking are all below the 5th stage."
"Once their emotional essence erupts, their actions become uncontrollable!"
Wah wah clearly wanted to help these people.
But lindsey had a clear goal:
"The urgent task is to solve the root of the problem!"
"Remove the influence of Dream of Illlusion, so they can come to their senses, don't lose sight of the essence!"
The two continued through three blocks.
At this point, a sealed hemispherical building came into view.
It appeared to be entirely made of hard rock, with strokes left by painters, significantly enhancing the building's defense.
Wah wah immediately made a judgment:
"This place is one of the entrances to Dream of Illlusion!"
"To prevent accidents, its surroundings are strictly sealed, only those with permission can enter at specific times!"
Lindsey nodded while rushing to the stone structure.
Strange howls and harsh grating sounds frequently came from inside. The two artists guarded the entrance with serious faces:
"You two!"
"Without permission, no one is allowed in!"
Lindsey pointed to the chaotic city behind:
"The Dream of Illlusion inside has clearly gone awry. For the safety of the city, the issue must be addressed immediately!"
The artist at the door was resolute:
"we're guarding here, waiting for the Art association to send support."
"Any random move could worsen the situation!"
L indsey tried to negotiate:
"Please let me try."
"My skill is unique, I mightfind clues. Also, just recently, I worked withAzurerobe Savart to resolve a kidnapping case!"
the two artists exchanged glances.
They were hesitant, but their stance quickly solidified:
"Sir, we cannot letanyone in."
"..."
Lindsey turned to look at the chaotic streets behind,Though the small number of marks were already vanishing from the map amidst the tumultuous noise.
Clank
At this moment, drawing a sword was more direct than words.
Lindsey dashed forward in a swift stride.
Though the two artists were prepared, her speed caught them off guard.
The one on the left only felt a shoulder grab and was bent down.
"Ah?"
In the instant his balance was lost, a strike to the neck rendered him unconscious.
"Eisenvent!"
Lindsey took down the first swiftly.
However, these two artists were tasked with guarding.
The other quickly wielded a paintbrush, the paint forming a perfect ring around him as a defensive barrier against attacks fromany angle.
Just as he was poised to fight desperately,
a girl's voice sounded from behind:
"Silence resonates with the sound of rain, just as nests embrace sleeping birds."
"Awake ones, let you slumber in the deep dark night, where your slumber is buried in tranquility."
