Chapter 413: Asking Dreams

Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Navaha.

In the afternoon, Dorothy walked slowly and attentively on the streets of Navaha. At this time, she was investigating the homes of patients with sleeping sickness in the city through the small corpses scattered all over the city, and soon found useful clues. In an abandoned patient's home, Dorothy found a strange altar in a sealed closet with the small corpse.

Afterwards, Dorothy continued to use the small corpse dolls to search the homes of several other patients, and found more or less moth-shaped marks in some hidden corners of their homes. Some wealthy families with spacious houses would set up hidden altars for the marks, while some poor families would simply carve marks on the headboards of their beds. The houses of families that had been occupied by the whole family were almost abandoned, and the expressions of the family members who lived there were all listless.

After seeing the conditions of several patients, Dorothy almost confirmed her previous guess that the sleeping sickness that ravaged Navaha was not a disease, but a secret belief in the so-called "Pan Moth". Judging from the current intelligence, if one believes in the so-called Pan Moth, one will gradually develop sleeping sickness and eventually become insane and be sent to a mental hospital.

This secret belief is spread privately among relatives and friends, so there is a phenomenon of relatives getting sick together. Now the mental state of the patients' family members who have not been sent to the hospital is also obviously not good.

Now the question is, what exactly is this so-called Pan moth? Why does belief in it lead to this situation?

"Pan moth...Pan moth that brings beautiful dreams. There is a secret worship of moths hidden in this small town. What does the moth here refer to?"

Dorothy was walking on the street, eating a piece of potato cake she had just bought as a snack, and she was thinking in her heart that the name Pan E sounded somewhat similar to the Spider Queen, Tao Wolf, Abyss Serpent and other gods. For a moment, she wondered if this was the name of another god, the name of a god related to dreams.

'The words on the altar are meant to bring good dreams to Pan Moth... The guy who tried to steal information from Vanya has the ability to pull dreams into her cocoon without her knowing... The disease those mentally ill patients have is called sleeping sickness...

"There are a lot of signs that the association entrenched in Navaha is related to dreams. Dreams are related to the two spiritualities of "shadow" and "inspiration". Now that the "inspiration" extraordinary people have become extinct, they are most likely extraordinary people assisted by "shadow"... Isn't this the dream-eating path of the little fox? Is the association here related to the little fox?

"What's even more strange is that... in this era, not only are the Initiated Beyonders extinct, but the Supported Beyonders are also pitifully rare. Only people with opportunities like Teacher Adele and Aldridge can become Supported Beyonders by chance. They don't even have inheritance, and promotion depends on archaeology. However, a decent Supported Beyonder Association has appeared in Navaha. It's incredible."

Dorothy was chewing potato cakes while thinking in her heart, judging from the feedback from Vanya, there were two people who came to investigate, one was killed directly by the backlash of a large amount of poison, and the other ran away after his companion got into trouble. The act of sending two minions out for investigation at once did not show how much they valued the so-called "inspiring" extraordinary people.

'Sending two black-rank auxiliary minions to carry out such a task, it seems that for these guys, this kind of extraordinary person who can dream is not too scarce. It is just a normal black-rank extraordinary person placed in the level of medium and large associations. But it doesn't make sense to think like this. If auxiliary extraordinary people are not a rare thing for that association, then as long as they can have a gold-rank leader to resist the punishment of the difference in rank, wouldn't they be able to use the rich divination resources to divine other associations to death?

"And if they don't even have a golden leader, then they are qualitatively different from other large associations, and it is impossible for them to compete with other associations. In the absence of a strong force to protect them, wouldn't their many auxiliary extraordinary people be fat meat in the eyes of other associations? They would have been dismantled long ago, and it is impossible for them to be here in good condition."

Dorothy slowly finished the potato pancake in her hand and thought to herself. At this moment, she felt deeply curious about the secret society hidden in Navaha. Now she planned to use more ways to further investigate this society.

Dorothy now plans to continue monitoring the families of patients who still have people to see what their secret religious activities are like. This kind of secret missionary activity must have an upper and lower line, and the ultimate upper line must be the association itself. As long as we continue to observe for a period of time and figure out the organizational structure of this cult, we can quickly find the members of the association.

Another point is that there are such an abnormal number of mental patients in the local area, but there has been no introduction from the church or the Castile secret department. This shows that the government should be controlled by that society. Under the control of that society, the government did not report the situation here, and even removed the sign of the mental hospital. Therefore, as long as we continue to investigate the government, we can catch the fox tail of that society. Dorothy has also left some small corpses in the living room to monitor any abnormal situation.

Under normal circumstances, Dorothy would have found their base camp after a whole day of investigation. However, due to the deterrent effect created by the church fleet, these guys obviously terminated or slowed down the normal activities of the entire association, which significantly hindered Dorothy's progress in following the clues. Although there have been many results of the investigation so far, their base has not been found yet. Dorothy estimated that it might take some time to obtain concrete results.

"Huh... It's getting late now. Let's go back to the hotel and monitor slowly. By the way, let's find out what this so-called 'Pan Moth' is all about."

After finishing her meal, Dorothy clapped her hands, and then murmured as she looked at the darkening sky. Then, she turned around and walked back to her hotel.

After having a Castilian dinner at the best restaurant near the hotel, Dorothy returned to her hotel room. After sitting down at the desk, she took out her magic box and pulled out the "Wenhai Voyage" from it. She then turned to the communication page specifically for Gregor. After thinking for a while, she began to use other notes and wrote the first message to her brother after her trip in the name of a detective.

…

A quiet road in front of a residential area in North Tivian.

In the evening, a horse-drawn carriage stopped by the side of the road. Rego, wearing a vest, jumped off the carriage lightly with his briefcase and clothes. After turning around and saying goodbye to the coachman with a smile, he turned around and walked towards the residential area.

Gregor, who had just finished working overtime day and night, got off work early as usual today. After taking the bureau's special carriage to his residential community, he walked quickly to where he lived. He planned to go home, change his clothes, and then find a place to have a good dinner.

'Oh... I feel like eating out every day is a waste of money. How about eating in the canteen in the bureau and then coming back? But it feels too late... What if I can't cook?

'I don't know what Dorothy eats every day in Tivian. I guess she eats in the school cafeteria. After all, the pocket money I give her is not too much. She doesn't ask me for more proof every month. She must be thrifty... Just like when she was in the village before, she is a sensible and thrifty child...

"But if she comes back this time, I'll give her more money, so she can probably live more comfortably."

Greg thought to himself that with his current income, he was already a wealthy person in the whole Pritt. Although he could give Dorothy a lot of money and let her live a life like the rich lady of Igwinter, as a parent, in order to cultivate Dorothy's habit of thrift and not spending money recklessly, Greg's living expenses for Dorothy were not much.

In front of Dorothy, Greg often said that although he had some money, it was not too much and was earned by very hard work. He tried his best to establish an image that his life was not too wealthy, so that Dorothy would not become proud and decadent because her family's financial situation suddenly became too good, and lose the spirit of hard work, which would affect her studies.

Greg planned to tell Dorothy that he was actually rich after she graduated from high school. He thought that his sister's expression would be very interesting at that time.

While thinking about these things, Gregor walked to the townhouse he rented. After opening the door and entering the room, he was going straight to change his clothes. However, at this moment, he felt a slight movement in his body.

"Is this... the detective reminding me?"

Gregor murmured with a frown on his face, then he gave up the idea of ​​changing his clothes and went to his bedroom immediately. After sitting down at the desk, he took out a small notebook from the drawer.

This was something Greg received at home shortly after the assassination of Lord Nicholas. According to the letter attached to it, this was a means of communicating with the detective and even other people in their organization. Just like the eight-pointed human-faced spider and the five senses altar of the afterbirth, the communication method of conveying prayers through the gods was only used by them at more critical moments.
