"...Who?" Hearing the irrecognizable voice, Wayne's face suddenly changed, and he tensed his body tensely, turning his head left and right to observe the surroundings.

Where he is located is the studio in the newspaper. After searching this circle, Wayne did not find any suspicious targets.

And the unimaginable voice continued to echo, saying in a gentle tone with a hint of piety.

[This is a dream world created by the great divine power of God! Mr. Wayne, are you... satisfied with this place?]

"You...! What are you?!" Wayne did not respond, but asked anxiously and loudly with a more nervous look on his face. He tried hard to judge the other party's position based on the direction of the other party's voice.

Wayne soon discovered that he could not even confirm where the other party's voice came from.

It was as if the sound was made from the entire space located in all directions, everywhere.

[Are you looking for me? Haha…]

The mysterious voice, who was difficult to distinguish between men, women, and young, said this, and chuckled gently a few times.

Then the next second, the voice rang from not far away in front of Wayne: [Don't be nervous, Mr. Wayne, I have no malicious intentions towards you.]

Wayne immediately turned his eyes and swept over, and then he found that at some point a strange person appeared five meters in front of him.

Let’s call the other party ‘people’ for now.

The other party is similar to Wayne's height. Judging from his figure, he is probably a man. He is wearing a white priest robe embroidered with bright silver exquisite edges. The collar of the robe is accompanied by a hood design, and the bright silver robe is also embroidered with some

The simple but very delicate patterned hood was then covered on the other person's head, and just covered the other person's face in a layer of shadow.

However, after careful observation, Wayne was surprised to find that there was nothing in the priest robe! The hem of the priest robe fell to the floor so he couldn't tell what was going on, but inside the hood and collar

Lower, the cuffs looked empty, and there was nothing inside except the priest robe on the surface!

It was like an invisible transparent humanoid creature wearing a priest robe, which looked very weird and mysterious.

This is why you have to put quotes when calling the other person a 'person'.

"Alas--!"

Anyway, after seeing the other party's strange posture, Wayne was startled and took several steps back slightly.

【Oh? This is rude, it seems that I was a little scared to you.】

It seemed that he was scared by Wayne. The empty hood of this mysterious man hidden in the white priest's robe seemed to shake his head and shook his head left and right, and then he carried a long sleeve to his back waist.

The other long sleeve folded on his chest, bowed slightly to Wayne in this position, and said to Wayne gently in a strange inorganic sound that was difficult to distinguish between men, women, and young.

[It is just because of certain rules that I cannot reveal my true face at the moment, so please allow me to apologize to you here.]

Although it is still difficult to identify its characteristics, the other party's mysterious and strange image forced Wayne to feel alert and a vague awe, but because of the other party's gentle tone and behavior, Wayne was somewhat relieved.

At least now, it seems that the other party is willing to communicate well, rather than the monster that will rush over to attack you if you disagree.

After calming down a little, Wayne took a deep breath and secretly plucked up a courage for himself. Then he tried his best to look at the figure in white robe and asked, "Can you explain it? Who are you? And, this... hallucination? It's also

Did you do it?"

【Disillusion?】

The figure in the white robe paused for a moment, then posed for her sleeves, and said: [No, Mr. Wayne, maybe you didn't hear it clearly just now, right? Then I'll introduce it again. This is with the help of my god's greatness.

A 'dream' world created by divine power!]

"A dream world? And... God?" As a working reporter, Wayne instantly grasped the focus of the other party's words.

[That's right, if you want to understand it more easily, you can also regard this as part of the Kingdom of God. Of course, this simple and dreamy world is only a trivial little for the great power of God.

It's just part!] The figure in the white robe opened her arms and made a gesture of embracing the void, explaining in a pious and somewhat high tone.

Even if he couldn't hear the other person's accent, Wayne could still feel the devout faith in the so-called "My God" in his words.

Wayne had only seen that gesture and tone in some priests of the Church of Holy Light.

Wayne made a speculation in his heart: In this way, the other party should probably be a "god believer".

However, Wayne did not find the style of the priest robe in the white robe's figure that matched it from any of the priests known to be a religious figure.

Generally speaking, many proprietary features can be seen on religious people. For example, the priest costumes of the Holy Light Church will have patterns of white angel feathers symbolizing the Holy Spirit and embroidered logos of the cross. Senior clergy

He would even wear crosses and other prayers directly on his body, and would symbolize ritual instruments.

On the clothes of this mysterious man's white priest robe, Wayne did not find any familiar features. The only thing he discovered was the only one that the other person wore at the heart of his chest, which was snow-white, emitting transparent light.

A hexagonal crystal composed of six positive triangles is very exquisitely made.

'In other words, it is not a religion that is famous on the surface!' Wayne continued to analyze in his heart:'The most famous one among the hidden religions is the dark church that advocates the demonic species. Look at this guy's whiteness

, the atmospheric and positive style of clothing does not seem to be from the dark church...'

Wayne's eyes fell on the hexagonal crystal worn by the other party's chest. For some reason, he felt that he seemed to have a vague sense of familiarity with the style of the crystal.

‘Well…I think I’ve seen something like that?’

Wayne carefully pondered the origin of his familiar feeling, but his thoughts were soon interrupted by the white-robed figure opposite him.

I heard the figure in the white robe suddenly asked: [Mr. Wayne, is there any problem?]

"Ah, no, I'm just a little curious about the 'God Lord' you mentioned..." Wayne quickly explained after coming to his senses.

Although it is not certain whether the other party is a real god, at least Wayne understands that this unidentified white-robed figure is definitely a standard believer. At this time, no matter what the so-called "God" truth he mentioned, he said

If he questions the other party’s beliefs, there will be no good results!

You know, he is still trapped in this illusion world, and I don’t know how to get out of it. If the other party has malicious intentions, Wayne will really make him feel useless even if he breaks his throat.

So he thought it would be better to follow the other person's words.

[Oh? Mr. Wayne, are you interested in joining the glory of God?] The white-robed figure was obviously satisfied with Wayne's reaction and asked with a happy smile: [So, should you join us?

?】

"Uh, this..." Wayne suddenly had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and his face became a little embarrassed.

Why did he suddenly say such straightforward words? He would pull people into the group if he had a disagreement. How should he accept this?

Wayne suddenly became a little scared again. Could it be that he had met some bewitching cult person?

Although he has never really reported any major incidents with journalists, Wayne has also heard a lot of stories about cultists from the industry.

He, an ordinary person, met a suspected cult person who could display magical hallucinations. He was very panicked!

[Oh? It seems that Mr. Wayne has some misunderstandings about me?] Seeing that Wayne hesitated and couldn't say whether to agree or refuse, the figure in the white robe said in anger.

"Uh, no..." Wayne's heart beat a few times when he heard this.

But before he could panic for a few more times, the figure in the white robe suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: [Haha... Say goodbye, Mr. Wayne, I have said it before, I have no malice towards you, so you

Don't be so nervous.]

"Ahem, sorry, ah hahaha..." Wayne could only smile dryly to hide his embarrassment and anxiety.

Knowing that the other party still did not relax his guard, the white-robed figure continued with a smile: [It seems that Mr. Wayne, you need to relax, um…]

As he said that, the hood of the white-robed figure turned around and swept around the somewhat messy environment of the silent and unmanned newspaper studio.

【This scene seems a bit inappropriate, so…】

Bang! The figure in the white robe raised one sleeve and a crisp snap of his fingers came from his empty sleeve.

The next moment, the environment suddenly changed!

Wayne felt a flash of sight. After his vision was restored, he found that he was no longer in the newspaper office, but appeared in the courtyard of a luxurious manor with an elegant environment.

He was standing on a soft green lawn, with a white and bright birch round table and leisure chair in front of him. The sky was clear above his head. The sun was as warm as early spring, and it did not give people a sense of heat, and it was a little cool.

The breeze floats quietly with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants unique to the pastoral countryside. Not far away from the yard, you can occasionally hear a few crisp and pleasant singing of swallows and birds.

Turning back, through the outer railings of the not-too-high manor, you can see the undulating pastoral countryside in the distance, the hills, the snow-white sea of ​​clouds, and the huge distance formed by the blue sky washed by clear water. Just look at it.

Taking this landscape image gives people a sense of distant and peaceful comfort.

Wayne couldn't help but immerse himself in the scenery for a moment, but soon, he was shocked and remembered his previous situation.

'No!! I was obviously in the newspaper just now, why did it change all of a sudden?! And is this kind of scenery a little too beautiful? Does the empire have such a place... By the way, that's right, this

It must be just an illusion!'

Although he thought it was an illusion in his heart, Wayne's heart was still a little shaken.

Because, the various somatosensations brought by this "illusion" are really difficult for him to notice the falsehood.

The soft touch when you step on the lawn, the freshness when you breathe the air, and the natural atmosphere unique to the countryside, the sound of birds in the forest heard in your ears, all the scenery you see visually... These are

Not too realistic?

The only thing that made Wayne feel a little inconsistent was that these environments were too perfect and harmonious, which made Wayne, who was used to being in the real world, clearly felt a little gap.

After all, he has been in the real rural and pastoral environment for a long time. Even the most primitive unfinished areas cannot have as perfect natural scenery as he has experienced now.

Not to mention anything else, in addition to the fresh and natural breath, there will definitely be some bad breaths in the air, such as rotten animals and plants, various excrements from animals and insects, and the residues of body odor.

Yes, that would definitely not smell very good.

Anyway, it will definitely not be as beautiful as described in those literary works.

It is precisely because of this perfect and comfortable environment and beautiful scenery beyond reality that Wayne, who was in contact for the first time, was temporarily immersed in for a short while.
To be continued...
