Chapter 3369: Chapter 3370: The Living Dead of Mist Marsh Forest

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Although there are only a few possibilities, upon careful analysis, many can be largely ruled out.

For example, hysteria.

While it’s possible for one person to experience hysteria, the likelihood of a group of people all experiencing it is quite small. Of course, collective hysteria can occur, but it requires external suggestion and influence as a prerequisite.

If such a "suggestion" truly exists, it indicates that there is certainly something fishy behind the event, warranting further investigation.

The possibility of a mirage is also very small. The prerequisite for a mirage is the existence of the "object" itself, to remotely create an illusion.

But does the Crystal Origin of Dreams really have "translucent undead"? At least, Angel hasn’t discovered any yet.

Therefore, if you ask Angel, the greatest possibility still lies with the Fairyland Duplication.

"Why don’t we take another look?" suggested the Rabbit Girl.

Angel was initially thinking that he could use God’s View to look, but he had already checked once before and found nothing unusual. This led him to wonder if investigating it personally might make it easier to find clues.

After considering, Angel nodded: "Alright, let’s go together."

This time, they didn’t let the group of people lead the way; they only chose one young boy to accompany them.

The boy’s name was Wes, chosen because he was the most energetic among them. The others were somewhat mentally diminished after experiencing the Wraith in the Fog, either due to worry or fear, but Wes showed more curiosity than fear.

Like a newborn kitten, until all nine lives are exhausted, curiosity remains his eternal theme.

Since Wes was eager to go, Angel chose him as the guide for this investigation.

Leaving Rabbit Mansion, they followed Wes all the way to the scene.

The location was not far from Rabbit Town; just follow the caves back to the surface, skirt around a Crystal Mound, then head south for about five minutes to reach the target site.

Along the way, Angel noticed the Rabbit Girl was uncharacteristically quiet, merely tilting her head as though contemplating something.

Angel: "What’s the matter? Did you think of something?"

The Rabbit Girl hesitated for a moment: "I’ve just been considering whether the Wraith in the Fog might be a monster I missed in cleaning up."

Recently, the Rabbit Girl has been logging into the Crystal Origin of Dreams, either assisting in guest reception or cleaning up monsters. These monsters are varied, big as mountains, small as insects, varied and numerous.

It seems reasonable for an undead monster to appear among the Eliminators.

After hearing the Rabbit Girl’s words, Angel was slightly disappointed. He originally thought she might have linked the Wraith in the Fog to Laplace’s Temporal Body...

Most of the recent Fairyland Duplication instances are related to Laplace’s Temporal Body. Whether it’s Maggie’s Silver Coral Island, Mushroom Concubine’s World Grinding Day, Shi Zhong’s Mist Isle Dragon Tomb... The instigators behind these are all those Temporal Bodies in the Memory Forest.

Because of this, Angel actually suspected whether the Wraith in the Fog might be some special NPC, modeled after Laplace’s Temporal Body?

Since the Rabbit Girl hadn’t thought in this direction, Angel directly voiced his doubt: "The Wraith in the Fog is definitely not a missed monster. I have recorded the coordinates of those remaining monsters, none of which are related to the Wraith in the Fog. However, I do have a thought: could the Wraith in the Fog be related to a Special Wonderland?"

The Rabbit Girl was stunned: "Special Wonderland? Are you suggesting... the discarded Temporal Bodies as the main entity?"

Angel nodded, looking excitedly at the Rabbit Girl: "Are there similar Temporal Bodies in the Memory Forest?"

The Rabbit Girl did not answer immediately but lowered her head, pondering quietly.

After about half a minute, she spoke: "The power of the undead is chaotic and evil. Even undead with minds may succumb to corruption at any time. In such circumstances, trying to imbue an undead with memory and an Aggregation Energy core is almost impossible to achieve. There are no undead-like Temporal Bodies in the Memory Forest, even those related to mist, only Shi Zhong..."

"If we’re forced to say, the Mirror Ghost might have some minor relationship with the undead, but the Mirror Ghost is a female spirit, not male."

The group who saw the Wraith in the Fog had difficulty judging other features, but male or female was clear at a glance. According to their descriptions, the Wraith in the Fog was a young or adult male, without any feminine features.

So, considering these aspects, the Rabbit Girl did not find a corresponding "Temporal Body" in the Memory Forest matching the Wraith in the Fog.

"If it’s not a Temporal Body, then it shows it’s not related to Special Wonderland?" Angel frowned: "Could it really be just their hysteria?"

Angel remained silent, waiting quietly for further inspection.

A few minutes later, Wes had already led them to the site of the incident.

There were no distinct features in the surroundings, just a vast Crystal Origin, with only a dozen-meter ground collapse in the southeast as a reference point.

"It was here where we encountered the Wraith in the Fog before." Wes arrived at the "old site," not nervous but rather excited, looking around.

Angel nodded and exchanged a glance with the Rabbit Girl: "Let’s get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, they immediately entered investigation mode, examining the conditions and details around the site inch by inch.

Ten minutes later, Angel and the Rabbit Girl met again.

Without speaking, they caught the same helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Apparently, their search this time yielded no results, just like earlier.

There were no unusual places, no "suspected Fairytale media" concrete objects, and even nearby energy showed no ripples.

Everything seemed as calm as ever.

Angel even used God’s View to inspect underground, to no avail.

It seemed as if everything was telling them there was nothing unusual here.

"Wes, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong before?" Angel couldn’t help but ask Wes again.

Wes nodded without hesitation: "Definitely not wrong! It’s right here where we saw the undead."

Angel sensed Wes’s emotions again and found no signs of lying. The emotional fluctuations matched the current environment, without signs of suggestion.

Could it really be as simple as hysteria?

Just as Angel was baffled, Wes suddenly said: "Actually, now isn’t entirely the same as before. It’s clear skies here now, but there was a faint thin fog when we discovered the undead earlier."

Wes’s words made Angel narrow his eyes.

According to their statements, indeed, the only difference between this place now and what it was when they came here before is the weather condition... Angel hadn’t encountered thin fog weather when using God’s View to investigate.

Perhaps, is it truly a matter of weather?

"Is it? We just need to test it to find out." Angel closed his eyes and directly began manipulating the Authority of "Celestial Alternation."

In Angel’s Mind Space, the power of Authority surged, while externally, the clear sky suddenly turned overcast, and gray clouds slowly covered the Sky Dome.

The Heavenly Light dimmed, the earth’s air surged upward, and a thin Mist began to spread from all directions.

Seeing the sudden emergence of Mist around, Wes exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, that’s it. Previously, this place was just like this Mist, and we saw the undead within such Mist."

"Back then, the undead were in this direction..."

Wes turned around in the thin Mist, seemingly locating the direction. Shortly after, he pointed to the north, "There! That’s where we saw the undead!"

Wes looked expectantly in the direction he pointed, imagining whether the Mist had arrived, would the undead also appear?

But as time ticked away bit by bit, there was no change in the direction he gazed at. Let alone the undead, beneath the swirling Mist, not even a speck of Dust could be seen.

Wes, who was full of confidence initially, couldn’t help but start to doubt himself. Had he really seen it wrong before?

Just as Wes was doubting himself, Angel suddenly stepped forward and walked to the location Wes pointed at.

When he arrived at the undead’s initial point, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"So this is how it is..." Angel stared at the Void within the Mist, murmuring softly.

The Rabbit Girl also came to Angel’s side, carefully scrutinizing the surroundings, especially the direction Angel was staring at intensely, but she found nothing unusual.

"Have you discovered anything?" Unable to find anything herself, the Rabbit Girl could only look up at Angel, hoping he would explain.

Angel nodded, "There is a discovery; the specific situation..."

When Angel started speaking about the specific situation, he hesitated for a while.

The Rabbit Girl thought Angel hesitated because Wes was nearby, making him uncomfortable to speak, so she whispered, "Why don’t we go back first and talk?"

Angel remained silent momentarily, "It’s okay, talking here is the same."

His hesitation just now wasn’t because Wes was present, but because he was contemplating how to explain the situation to the Rabbit Girl.

Because.

The core issue involved in this matter is something even Laplace is unaware of.

It’s not that he can’t tell Laplace, but because this matter is so intricate, closely tied to all realms’ realities, that Angel himself hasn’t fully grasped the full picture.

And this matter is... Dreamseeing!

Angel: "Our earlier speculations were correct; the so-called Wraith in the Mist is indeed related to the Immortal Realm."

"This Immortal Realm is not a Special Wonderland, unrelated to Laplace’s Temporal Body, but it’s hidden very deeply, and similarly requires certain unlocking conditions to be met." While considering his wording, Angel stomped the ground lightly, "Right when the Mist appeared, at this position beneath my feet, the Fairyland Information showed up."

"Fairyland Information?" The Rabbit Girl glanced at Angel’s feet. Typically, Fairyland Information appears near the instance medium, which is the Crystal Creations.

Yet, she looked for quite some time and couldn’t find anything nearby resembling a Crystal Creation medium.

Even if there’s no Crystal Creation, a "Door" similar to the previous Training Dungeon would suffice.

"Don’t bother looking for it. The medium for entering the instance hasn’t appeared yet; it must fulfill certain conditions to emerge," Angel said.

"Although the medium Crystal Creation hasn’t appeared, because one of the conditions is met, the Fairyland Information still escaped from the instance."

Even if others know there’s Fairyland Information, they can’t read it; however, Angel, as an indirect Authority holder of the Wonderland of Dreams, can forcibly read the escaping Fairyland Information due to his permissions.

"According to the information I’ve obtained, there’s a hidden Immortal Realm nearby, and the instance is named— ’Living Dead of Mist Marsh Forest.’"

"The specific information inside the instance is currently unknown; it will only be revealed once it’s unlocked. However, the unlocking conditions of the instance, I’ve already obtained them."

"Before discussing the conditions, we need to clarify a prerequisite: the instance location. The entrance to this instance is around here, hence the upcoming conditions revolve around the instance location."

"The first condition is... Mist."

When Mist occurs in this area, it activates the first condition.

The Rabbit Girl nodded after hearing it, realizing why they had searched everywhere and found nothing, but as soon as the Mist arrived, an indication appeared.

Because the Mist met one of the conditions to unlock the instance.

Once the Mist appears, the instance enters an unlocking state, leading to the escape of Fairyland Information.

Angel: "The second condition requires the right time."

The Rabbit Girl whispered, repeating, "Right time? You mean only at a fixed time can one enter the Mist to meet the instance unlocking’s second condition?"

Angel nodded, then shook his head, "That’s one way to interpret it, but it’s not entirely correct."

Seeing the Rabbit Girl’s confused look, Angel spoke softly, "Do you remember Luigi’s daily station assessment?"

The Rabbit Girl nodded, "Yes, I know. It lasts for seven days and needs entering the Uriel Dungeon for stationing once daily."

Angel continued, "Then you shouldn’t forget the timing of Luigi’s daily assessment, right?"

The Rabbit Girl recalled for a moment, "Luigi’s daily assessment timing isn’t fixed and only begins once Uriel enters the ’Dreaming’ state..."

The Rabbit Girl halted suddenly, then looked up sharply at Angel, "Is the right time you mentioned somewhat similar to ’Dreamseeing’?"

Angel nodded, "Yes, the second condition, the most crucial one, is to contact the ’Living Dead’ entering the Dreaming state."

Upon hearing this, realization flashed in the Rabbit Girl’s eyes, "So, the Wraith in the Mist Wes and his team encountered was actually the instance NPC—Living Dead?"

Angel nodded, "That’s right. Who knows whether their luck was good or bad, as they explored nearby and just happened to encounter the Mist, then coincidently ran into the ’Living Dead’ entering the Dreaming state."

"They perfectly met the two conditions for unlocking the instance, explaining why they could see the Wraith in the Mist. They didn’t see an undead, but rather a Living Dead."

"However, to truly activate the instance, a third condition is needed: physical contact with the ’Living Dead’ in the Dreaming state."

Wes and his group did see the Living Dead, but they didn’t dare approach and make contact, choosing instead to flee back to Rabbit Town. Thus, they missed the chance to activate the instance.
