The knight took out the positioning device from his arms, walked around, and finally landed on the side pillar of the torii gate. A palm-sized pixel wind signal transmitting device was quietly attached to it, and the indicator flashed slightly.
Light.
The knight removed the signal transmitting device, his brows full of doubts.
"What's wrong?" Wu Xiangnan walked up to him, saw the device in his palm, and asked, "Is this the signal transmitting device of the 'paratrooper'?"
"That's right"
The knight hesitated and said, "But, since the signal transmitting device has been installed, it stands to reason that the 'paratroopers' will be here waiting for us to meet up."
"But there is no one around here." Wu Xiangnan continued. He squatted down and carefully observed the bluestone slab under his feet. "And there was no fighting. Did he leave the traces of the chase by himself?"
"It shouldn't be. It's impossible for the 'paratrooper' to leave at such a critical time. Without him to lead the way, it would take a lot of time and energy for us to figure out the form of the 'human circle', and there is also the risk of exposure.
There's no way he would just abandon us."
"You mean something happened to the 'paratrooper'?"
The knight did not speak. He quietly stared at the signal transmitting equipment in his hand. After an unknown amount of time, he looked up at the bluestone road ahead.
"Let's search around here first to see if there are any other clues."
The three of them walked straight forward along this bluestone road. The dark gray walls seemed endless. The further they walked, the darker the gray on the walls became, and the temperature also dropped rapidly.
This strange change could not escape the perception of Jialan and the others. Wu Xiangnan stopped, frowned and looked at the surrounding walls, "There is something wrong here."
Jialan raised his head, sniffed the air, and unconsciously clenched the black box in his hand.
"It's the 'mysterious' breath." Jia Lan said firmly, "It's very strong, and there are more than one, but the taste seems to be different from the ordinary 'mysterious' breath?"
In the past two years of drifting life, the number of "mysteries" Jialan has fought has accumulated to astronomical figures. Even with just a wisp of smell in the air, she can keenly sense the existence, general direction, and even the existence of "mysteries".
It's the strength of strength.
"Isn't that right?" The confusion in the knight's eyes deepened, "The 'human circle' was created by the gods, how could there be a 'mysterious' existence? These things cannot enter the 'human circle' at all.
Isn’t this a ‘human circle’?”
After hesitating for a moment, the knight stretched out his hand and grasped it in the air. A ball of snow-white waves rolled in his palm, and his brows suddenly frowned.
"The Forbidden Ruins can be used normally, is this really not a 'human circle'?" He thought for a moment and thought of some possibility, "I understand, we are still in the 'gap' now."
"Still in the 'gap'?" Jialan asked doubtfully, "Didn't we just pass through the 'gap'?"
"The size of the gap in each 'human circle' is different. Generally speaking, the larger the scale of a 'human circle', the larger the 'gap' may be. If the space we are in now is really Japan's
If there is a gap in the 'human circle', then the scale of this 'human circle' should be on a very terrifying scale!"
The knight continued seriously, "So far, the largest 'human circle' we have ever seen is the Sphinx Kingdom in Egypt, which contains nearly 10 million people. Judging from the scale of this 'gap'
, the scale of its "human circle" may be larger than that of Egypt.
If this is the case, then the 'human circle' we are in may be the largest and most insane 'human circle' in the world."
Upon hearing this, Jialan and Wu Xiangnan fell into silence.
Jialan couldn't help but become worried.
In such a dangerous place, nothing will happen to Qiye and the others, right?
Jia Lan's hand holding the black box tightened, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she walked quickly along the bluestone road, her dark blue Han robe fluttering in the wind, her black hair tied with a red rope.
Her steps swayed slightly.
Feeling the change in Jialan's temperament, Wu Xiangnan and the knight looked at each other, and both saw confusion in the other's eyes.
What's wrong with this girl?
Ignoring the gradually lowering temperature around her and the spreading cold aura, Jialan walked directly to the end of the long bluestone road. The dark gray walls stopped abruptly, and what appeared in front of her was a vast shrine ruins.
.
On top of this ruins, there are dark stone statues one after another. Most of these stone statues have strange shapes, including a long-haired woman with two mouths, a short and ugly boy with a green lotus leaf on his head, and a weird one with a horn on his head.
A young man with a graceful girl with long light blue hair
The bodies of these stone statues are covered with cracks and moss, and they stagger around on the ruins. Their expressions are stiff and strange, and their movements are very uncoordinated. These stone statues placed together in front of you make people feel inexplicably shuddering.
"Stone statue?" The knight followed Jialan and walked to the ruins. He looked around and licked his lips, as if he could no longer suppress the instinct of bombing the shrine that was engraved in the bones of the Shangxie Society. "This shrine is
A god to worship?”
"That's not right." Wu Xiangnan walked up to the stone statue of a young man and observed it carefully for a while, then his expression suddenly changed, "These are not statues of gods, these are statues of demons."
He stood up with a gloomy face, "From the appearance, this stone statue looks very much like the Zashiki Warashi in the Japanese monster legend. The light blue long-haired girl next to it should be a snow girl, and the boy behind should be a kappa.
This shrine does not enshrine Japanese gods at all, but Japanese monsters."
"A shrine dedicated to demons?" The knight was puzzled. "How can such a thing exist? Who made these stone statues?"
"No one made it."
Standing in front of the statue of the snow girl, Jialan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "The 'mysterious' smell I just smelled came from here. They are not stone statues, they are the Japanese native 'mysteries' that were petrified and trapped here!"
They are alive."
As the night watchmen believe, most of the "mysteries" come from legends and unofficial histories from all over the world, and these stone statues in front of them are the embodiment of Japanese local legends.
"Live?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Wu Xiangnan and the knight changed at the same time.
Things seemed different from what they imagined.
This is a gap leading to the "human circle", but there is a shrine dedicated to monsters, and the stone statues of monsters in it are all alive. This fact itself is extremely weird. Even a knight with rich experience in the fog can't help but wonder.
