In the Earth Federation, the phenomenon of spatial overlap between subspace and the real world is not unheard of, but because the degree of overlap is different, the harm and damage caused are also different.

Situations like the current situation where a certain part of the Black Forest Wonderland overlaps with the Dibia Mountains often happen in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and each cosmic civilization has already had a set of coping mechanisms.

Usually, this kind of space overlap will not cause particularly great damage to the real world. It will only cause some objects to temporarily enter the subspace due to the spatial dislocation. People in the space overlap area will be affected by this kind of space.

The confusion of perception caused by misalignment causes mental damage to varying degrees.

However, this kind of mental damage will not be fatal. At most, it will make people feel depressed for a long time afterward. However, after systematic cultivation, this depressed state can return to normal in a short time.

There are no side effects.

But if the spaces overlap, then things will be troublesome. The overlapping part will either mean that everything in the real world is sucked into the subspace, or that things from the subspace will descend into the real world. No matter which one is more harmful to the people around you,

It is absolutely a devastating disaster.

Because no matter which situation occurs, it will cause space to tear, and even worse, space material will be extracted, causing space to collapse, and then evolve into a black hole. There is a similar precedent in the Earth Federation, that accident

Although the rescue was timely, one-third of the planet was still swallowed up by the micro black hole formed by the space rift. Fortunately, it was only a resource planet, not many people lived in it, and the casualties were negligible.

If the Dibia Mountains in front of Leo now overlap with the Black Forest Wonderland, then Leo will definitely not do anything, will not pay attention to his previous promise, and just turn around and stay as far away from here as possible.

Although the web weaver said that the current situation is just a coincidence of spaces, not an overlap of spaces, Leo could not completely believe the web weaver's words, because the difference in knowledge and cognition would cause some misunderstandings. It is possible that the space mentioned by the web weaver was

Coincidence is the spatial overlap in Leo's cognition.

So in order to avoid mistakes, Leo left the camp and used the Earth Federation's detection methods to detect the current space status of this place. Finally, from some of the clues found, he deduced the true situation of the current space, and this situation

There is some difference from the spatial overlap in his perception, but it is not too different.

According to Leo's understanding, space overlap is just the overlap of the projections of two spaces. In fact, the matter in the two spaces does not overlap. It is just like a mirage. It is just an illusion of space projection. In this way, everything in the space overlaps the area.

Objects will be caught in some kind of space due to space distortion, causing everything seen or touched not necessarily to be real. True and false can no longer be judged with the body's senses, and this strange phenomenon will affect everything.

on the object.

But what makes Leo feel weird now is that this strange phenomenon after the space overlap does not affect the mountains of the Dibia Mountains, but only affects the animals, plants and other life forms on the surface of the mountains, thus making

Wherever Leo could see, there was no trace of any living thing.

In this situation, Leo doesn't have any information in his mind that can provide reference, and he himself is not a scientific research biochemical person. No matter how powerful his brain's computing and memory capabilities are, he can't analyze a reason.

Now, the only thing Leo can be sure of is that there is no danger in the overlapping space environment here. The real danger lies in those hidden on the other side of the overlapping space.

Because the current overlapping situation is completely different from the previous situation in the Giant Sequoia Forest, Leo can no longer see the figures of the black forest monsters and the dependents through the vision given by the cat potion. He can only wait for the black forest monsters and the dependents to completely

Only after they appear in the world of Velen can their whereabouts be tracked.

However, Leo was not worried that those black forest monsters and family members could appear directly in the camp, capture the ordinary people in the camp before he could react, and then escape.

Because he deduced that the black forest monsters and dependents would probably no longer be able to travel between the two worlds as easily as they could in the giant sequoia forest. They could release the virtual and real state very close to the camp and enter the world of Velen to hunt prey. Similarly, they should also

It is impossible to capture the prey and then directly enter another space together with the prey without anyone noticing.

The reason why Leo made this guess is entirely because of the changes in the spatial environment here. When people and objects in the Velen world are affected by this spatial coincidence, things in another space will also be affected by this spatial overlap.

The impact, and because of the issue of space stability, the Black Forest Wonderland in the subspace state may be affected even more strongly.

In this fragile and chaotic space overlapping environment, any behavior of changing space becomes extremely dangerous, and a little carelessness may cause fatal consequences.

Perhaps in order to confirm the correctness of his speculation, Leo used the imitation of the power of nightmare behind a slightly hidden hill not far from the camp to temporarily transform his body into a kind of black forest that he had hunted before.

The state of the unknown family members, and in this state, he saw the appearance on the other side of the overlapping space, and was forced to immediately release this imitation state after just one glance.

Leo didn't know whether the scene he saw was part of the Black Forest Wonderland, but he was sure that the environment on that side was very bad. A large amount of energy turbulence of unknown origin formed an energy storm inside, attacking everything that tried to get close.

object.

Fortunately, Leo only imitated the special state of the unknown Familia in the Black Forest through the power of nightmares, and did not really enter another subspace, so no matter how strong the energy storm there was, it could not affect him and let him

Able to retreat calmly.

Judging from this situation, it is definitely impossible for black forest monsters and dependents to appear directly in this overlapping space. They can only escape from that special space reality in places like the giant sequoia forest that no longer overlap.

State, completely enter the Velen world, and then gradually approach the camp like the beasts in the Velen world, hunting prey.

For Leo, the black forest monsters and dependents who are out of the virtual and real state of space are not scary. He is fully capable of killing them before they threaten the ordinary people in the fleeing team, so now this space-overlapping environment is not for him.

favorable.

Just as Leo had guessed, until the early morning of the next day, no black forest monsters or dependents appeared around the camp of the escape team, and Leo only used his spiritual vision to see a group of people in the distance late at night.

The tree-man-like Black Forest Familia appears.

However, after the group of family members discovered Leo's approach, they immediately fled towards the edge of the mountain where there was no space overlap. They did not re-enter the subspace of the Black Forest Wonderland until they escaped from the space overlap area, which just confirmed Leo's guess during the day.

However, although there were no attacks from black forest monsters and family members that night, there were still a large number of people missing in the camp.

At dawn, the hunters guarding the camp went to each tent one by one to wake up the people resting there, giving them enough time to pack their bags. However, these hunters soon discovered that there were more than a dozen tents empty.

One hundred people were missing, but their luggage and all other belongings were kept intact in the tent.

This incident quickly spread in the camp, causing quite a commotion. The morale that had begun to recover after half a day and a night of rest became low because of this incident. Everyone was frightened, fearing that if they continued, they would be in trouble.

He was the next missing person, so there was a sound of walking back among the crowd.

And not only the refugees wanted to go back, but even some hunters were frightened by the strange situation before them, and connected these things with the legends about the Dibia Mountains, and even Barak's past

Even the power could not suppress the uneasiness in their hearts, so when someone proposed to go back, the frightened hunters also agreed.

Just like yesterday, Barak also called everyone to give a mobilization speech, and also persuaded those who had the idea of ​​​​turning back to continue. However, compared with the effect of yesterday and previous speeches, the effect this time was very average.

It can even be said that it is terrible. Not only did it fail to persuade those who had the idea of ​​​​turning back, but it actually made some people who were still hesitant make the decision to go back.

However, what made Barak a little relieved was that the dignitaries did not intend to turn back and still decided to cross the Dibia Mountains, which saved him a lot of persuasion efforts.

Although these people who decided to turn back disrupted some of Barak's plans, in the long run, it was not a bad thing, because after these wavering people left, the remaining people were all people who were determined to cross the mountains.

In the next journey, things that shake the morale of the entire escape team will not happen again.

After thinking about the gains and losses, Barak did not retain the nearly 500 people who were ready to turn back. He took out some of the supplies and gave them to some hunters who also decided to turn back, and selected a few who had enough prestige and ability to lead the team.

people.

On the other side, although the number of people has been reduced by half, it has become a lot easier for the fleeing team, because most of the people who decided to turn back were older people, while the rest decided to continue crossing the mountains.

Most of the people are young and strong, which can make the next journey much easier.

Just when the escape team was divided into two groups due to the recurrence of a large number of missing persons, everyone's attention was focused on personnel arrangements, route selection, etc. after the team was separated, which caused the team to

The separate incidents of missing persons seemed to have been forgotten and no one mentioned it again, as if it had never happened.

As a bystander, Leo quietly observed all the activities in the camp through the mental network from a distance. He was not interested in the separation of the escape team at all. What interested him was the attitude of these people towards the nearly a hundred missing people.

Except for the initial discovery of the missing persons, which caused a commotion in the camp and caused the team to separate, no one in the camp showed any concern for these missing persons. Even the relatives and friends of the missing persons in Naxi were also cleaning up.

There was no abnormal emotion when the tent was empty, and the expression on his face was as calm as if the missing person did not exist.

This situation makes people feel abnormal no matter how you look at it, but the problem is that Leo did not find any psychic fluctuations in the camp, especially inside and outside the tents of the missing people, so these people were basically indifferent to the disappearance of their companions.

The influence of witchcraft can be ignored.

But at the same time, Leo can also be sure that there is indeed power affecting their minds, making them unable to help but ignore the missing people, because he also can't help but want to forget the missing people, but his will is too strong.

This emotion was not enough to shake his mind.

Unfortunately, even though Leo clearly felt that he was affected by an inexplicable force, he could not find the source of this influence.

In addition to discovering that the people in the camp were emotionally affected by unknown forces, Leo also discovered that the missing people were all, without exception, those with the strongest psychic reactions.

If only one or two missing people were like this, that would be fine, but the problem is that the ninety-seven missing people are all the ones with the strongest psychic reactions among the more than a thousand people. This obviously cannot be explained by pure coincidence.

However, among these refugees, there were three people whose psychic reactions were equally strong, but they did not disappear in their sleep. These three people were the three members of the family who had been cast by Leo with protective witchcraft, which made Leo even more confused.

What was interesting was that he felt that the protective witchcraft left on the family of three was somewhat depleted. Apparently, the family of three was also attacked last night. It was only because of his witchcraft that the family of three was not attacked.

Become a missing person.

"Maybe we can use this family of three as a breakthrough!" After discovering this, Leo immediately had an idea. So he sneaked into the camp again, secretly cast some tracking and other witchcraft on the family of three, and

The protective witchcraft on the three people was strengthened.

What surprised Leo even more was that when he performed the witchcraft on the family of three, the web weavers also saw it. Not only did they not stop Leo, nor did they show dissatisfied expressions, they instead waited until Leo finished the spell.

Finally, one of the web weavers made a gesture to the family of three, and Leo saw through the spider tattoo that there was an extra silver-gray thread on the body of the family of three.

It is obvious that the web spinner has the same idea as Leo, and is also preparing to use this family of three as a clue to find out the mysterious disappearance.

After resting, the team that was about to turn back started to leave first. When these people disappeared into the giant sequoia forest in the distance, Leo could clearly feel that there was absolutely no possibility of these people walking back out of the forest, and Zhi Zhi
