"Then our task now is to first find out what happened..."
Muttering this, Dorothy manipulated her body and slowly stood up from the chair.
…
At the port of Navaha, many ships of the church fleet still stay here.
The powerful hypnosis coming from underground in the city spread here in no time. Under the influence of this power, the sailors who were on guard and patrol fell to the ground without warning and fell into a deep sleep. Even the most dedicated worshippers in the cabin could not resist the strong sleepiness and fell asleep on the ground.
This even included Jode, who was working in his cabin. When he felt sleepy, he could not resist it and fell asleep on the desk. The other Cretaceous Extraordinaries in the fleet could not bear the strong fatigue and fell down at their respective posts.
If the Cretaceous Extraordinary was like this, let alone the Extraordinary and even ordinary people below them, in just a moment, the huge fleet fell into a dead silent slumber.
In a separate cabin of the fleet's flagship cruiser, a thin, bald, barefoot, fifty-year-old man wearing a monk's robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground, sleeping peacefully. In front of him was an open holy book, and in front of the holy book was a small altar of the Holy Father.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the old monk was affected by the hypnotic waves during the prayer process and fell into a coma. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, it seems that he will not wake up until tomorrow.
Just as the old monk was sleeping soundly, something strange happened at the scene. Behind the old monk, a translucent whip emitting a faint golden light appeared out of thin air, waving automatically in the air and whipping the old monk fiercely. Although the translucent whip did not cause any physical effect or leave any scars on the old monk's body, it still woke the old monk up and made him cry out in pain.
The old monk who was awakened by the whipping opened his eyes wide, with pain showing on his face. Then he immediately looked around and saw the transparent illusory whip behind him gradually disappearing into nothingness.
"I actually fell asleep while praying... Holy Father... Please forgive my laxity."
Seeing the disappearance of the Whip of Illusion, the old monk turned around and prayed while looking at the altar in front of him. Soon after, he felt a strong sleepiness again. Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep, the old monk slammed the holy book spread out in front of him and spoke directly in a stern tone.
"The commandment is not to sleep."
As those stern words were spoken, a golden glow appeared around the old monk's eyes, and then the strong sleepiness that had been plaguing his consciousness disappeared in an instant, and the old monk returned to a state of full energy.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a strong 'shadow' power in a place like this..."
Sighing, the old monk stood up again, tied the holy code chain around his waist, opened the cabin door, walked out quickly, and walked along the corridor of the cabin.
The old monk ignored the sailors who were already sleeping soundly in the corridor and walked all the way to the captain's cabin. After opening the cabin door, he saw Captain Joad sleeping soundly on the desk. Then he stretched out his hand in the air, and a translucent golden whip condensed in his hand.
"Sleeping during work hours... Even if you are the captain, you need to be punished."
Muttering, the old monk mercilessly swung the whip in his hand and whipped Joad. The illusory long whip hit Joad's body, and Joad, who was in a deep sleep, woke up with a scream of pain and fell to the ground in pain.
"Ah! Huh... Huh... What happened? Brother Weir, why are you here? I just... Uh..."
Covering his head, Qiao De fell to the ground and looked at the old monk in front of him in confusion. At this moment, sleepiness arose in Qiao De's mind again. Qiao De, who couldn't resist, seemed to fall asleep again.
"Jord Schneider, I want you to follow the rules and not sleep."
Seeing Joad's appearance, the old monk spoke to him in a stern tone. Listening to the old monk's words, the sleepiness in Joad's mind began to ease immediately, and Joad took this opportunity to speak immediately.
"Yes, I obey your commandments..."
Following these words, Joad was immediately affected by a strange effect. All of a sudden, he lost all sleepiness and stood up silently, panting.
"Huh...Huh...This is...hypnosis. And I can't resist it. We are being attacked by such a powerful 'Shadow'!"
Joad said while panting heavily. At this time, he already had a general understanding of the current situation. The old monk next to him nodded and spoke after seeing that Joad had completely gotten rid of his sleep.
"Yes, Captain Joad, we were attacked by the power of 'Shadow', and everyone was hypnotized. After I was awakened by the self-discipline whip, I immediately came to find you. Now we are in danger."
"Thank you for your help. There is a force hidden in this city that we did not expect. Brother Weir, please wake up Santos and the others! We need to build a defense now!"
Qiao De looked at the old monk and spoke sternly, and just when the old monk nodded and was about to say something else, a loud noise suddenly came from the city in the distance.
Hearing the sound, the old monk and Joad looked at each other, then immediately walked out of the captain's cabin and came to the deck. They stood on the deck of the ship and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from, and what they saw was a scene that shocked them.
In the distant city, behind the dark outlines of the buildings, a huge object is slowly rising. Looking closely, it is actually a twisted illusory giant moth.
On the spread-out, translucent giant triangular wings, there were dazzling circles everywhere. On the hind abdomen of its plump body, which was more than ten meters long, there were countless white cocoons covered in tons, like countless white lumps. Under the front abdomen, where the insect's legs should be, there grew countless illusory and wriggling tentacles. The head at the front of the abdomen did not have the mouthparts of ordinary insects, but instead had countless pairs of eyes growing on it.
Grotesque, twisted, even disgusting... the monster from the dream has just emerged from the cocoon and is soaring in the night sky of Navaha.
