The Dream of the Century - War of Faith Chapter 6 The Leader of the Alien Land
Several people came to the vicinity of the rumored Dusk Alley outside of dusk, but could not see anything.
According to the content of the original call with the emblem, Zate attracted a lot of surprised looks after being active here for a short time. After all, there are many ordinary people who know this urban rumor.
It's almost noon, and the smell of rice is lingering on the streets.
"I heard that there are some interesting rumors here? Can you tell me about it?" Esther found a grocery store, where the owner had nothing to do but told Esther about the urban legend of Rosemary.
To be honest, most of these rumors may have been accidentally created by other explorers or magicians. However, the nearby Dusk Alley was highlighted as a possible barrier, and there were many people who claimed to have seen it.
"What do you see, just see a wall turn into a road?" Esther asked.
"Yes." The boss nodded.
"Are there any legends or families that lived in that alley?" Esther continued to ask.
"It's not a real alley... Do you know what I mean? It's not a good idea to talk about this in broad daylight." He waved his hands and stopped talking about it. After all, discussing mysteries is not a good thing for ordinary people.
Karin followed and listened quietly, looking towards the seemingly ordinary alley from time to time.
"Which street or courtyard does the back of that wall lead to?" Esther still refused to give up.
At this time, a patrolling guard walked by. When the boss saw this, he retracted his head and began to pretend to sort out the goods. After the guard passed by, he said: "There is an ordinary room behind the wall. Okay, don't ask. I don't want to be asked."
talk."
"Okay, excuse me." Esther bought some odds and ends and walked around to see what the appearance of the so-called ordinary house over there was like, whether there was a house number or something.
But there is another block opposite, and it is impossible to fly up and look above, and even if you look, you probably won't find anything.
When the guards learned about the rumors, they probably had already used regular methods to investigate. Rosemar was at the Queen's feet and would not allow any danger to exist.
The general idea is that a space channel may be opened regularly or a barrier-type ability may be opened. After all, Rosemar is just unable to release spells, but the operation of the spell circuit is still normal. This is not impossible. The room next door
It wasn't an empty house either. He tried to go up and knock on the door.
Noel thought for a moment and stopped following, wandering around Dusk Alley for a while.
And Romani also planned to explore the rumored wall first.
This is a busy city. Seeing that Esther was planning to take out a weapon here, someone quickly came out and warned that it would cause a riot. Then he said that this wall was between two storefronts. He was almost annoyed to death, and he also knew how many people were planning to do it.
Well.
Esther apologized and spent some time. "Is it so annoying? The more people come here to shop, the greater the flow of people and the better the business will be."
But one is a thrift store and the other is a machinery store, and neither of them is a store with high traffic and good sales.
"There used to be a few bastards who squatted in front of my store every night and waited for two weeks, making others think I was in debt." The boss looked ugly.
"Speaking of such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be possible to make more money by buying some daily necessities or snacks? Don't just do the same old business rigidly." Esther randomly picked and bought some old jewelry and toys.
.
"How can the customer flow be compared to other stores nearby? It's a total loss of money."
"I think it's a good business just to sell some tea and provide seats for people to sit down. Other stores don't have such a good location so close." Esther came up with another idea.
"Not many people came here specifically to look at those ghost alleys."
After hearing this, Esther planned to find a refreshment shop nearby and sit down to rest and prepare to wait for dusk.
Chatting with Esther at Carlin Station, Romani also sat down to eat something to kill time, waiting for dusk to come.
A few people spent a leisurely time looking for a place to eat, and gathered next to the wall again at dusk.
After being in a daze for a moment, Carlin suddenly saw an unremarkable alley appearing in the place of the wall, and the noisy people behind him disappeared. Looking back, Noel and the others were standing still. "Huh?"
"
When he looked closely, he saw his own face. Another "Karin" was also standing there. The pedestrians opened and closed their mouths, and their feet did not stop. They had no reaction to Noel and others who were standing still.
, as if they don’t exist. [Mirror?]
Karin can't see his hands, and even the concept of seeing doesn't seem to start from the eyes. It's just that the perspective can't be changed, and then the body can't move. [What's going on, is this the Dusk Alley?]
Carlin tried to imagine that he was walking forward, and his body did take a step forward, but this was particularly energy-consuming. If this was a soul leaving the body, then this consumption may be soul energy.
There was a corner deep in the alley, which was normal before. So Carlin stretched out his hand towards Esther in his imagination, grabbed him and pulled him towards him. It felt like he could pull him into the alley before he passed out...
...ten steps to go.
[The actions in this place seem to rely on imagination, let me try.] In any case, according to Ms. Camille, Esther is the key. So Carlin looked at Esther, and began to imagine that he stretched out his hand and
He also pulls in the scene.
Finally, Esther was dragged in forcefully. At that moment, Carlin's consciousness or soul returned to his body, and Esther also woke up.
"Huh? What happened?" Esther looked around.
[I seemed to have come in accidentally just now, and then I tried to pull you in too.] Karin finally told him via emblem communication.
The two of them were in an ordinary alley, with a corner in front and a wall behind them. "The actions here seem to be carried out by thinking and imagination, so it is particularly energy-consuming."
"That's really a weakness. Although my bloodline can also provide some willpower, the level of bloodline is far inferior to other aspects. But I have come in, and I have to continue after all." Esther checked his belongings.
Feel your physical condition.
"If our energy is exhausted, we may be ejected. According to Ms. Camille, only you can use that thing. If you are ready, I will try to bring you in to help you save money."
Save your energy." Carlin said.
Although Carlin was not good at this, he still had some accumulation from the long journey, so he fell into thinking and imagined the scene where he took Ester straight to the corner of the alley. But he tried to move a lot, but it didn't work.
It's very laborious, and you don't need to rely on imagination to act. "Huh?" When he found that it didn't work, he subconsciously moved his hands and feet. "It seems that it has recovered?"
"Then let's go." Esther moved her wrist.
"Good thing, let's walk." He walked happily towards the corner of the alley, but he was afraid of the wonders here, so he didn't dare to look around.
Esther followed closely and walked towards the corner.
The corner passed through several forks, all of which were dead ends. After the two checked a certain direction, they saw a little girl drawing on the dust on the ground with her fingers at the dead end.
She is about half as tall as Karin, and her black single ponytail is tied with a stained red bow tie. The black and white Lolita dress she is wearing is so dirty that it is almost invisible, and her bare arms are also dirty.
.
Carlin looked at Esther instinctively, with an expression that said, "Is this a human or a ghost?" "Although it's hard for me to imagine, the legend in the alley is, she?"
"Trapped? I don't think she is the one who created this space. She is more like a low-rise resident here or a troubled person who is unable to get out." Esther said.
"Yes... I probably entered here by mistake. But I haven't heard of any missing persons here?" Karin was confused. Anyway, he went forward to see how the little girl was doing. He tried to use his breath and saw.
Look at this little girl's physical condition, but she can't feel anything.
So Esther walked towards the little girl and asked, "Excuse me, what's the matter with you?" As he said this, he took out the dry food he had brought with him and handed it over, while observing the paintings on the ground.
"It's delicious!" Although it was just ordinary dry food, the little girl grabbed it and started eating it.
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, are you Pasfield?" He comforted and continued to hand over the kettle, asking tentatively.
[At least it’s a living child, that’s good.] Esther’s communication was very effective, so Carlin didn’t get too close and stood quietly aside, acting like a sentinel.
Because she had dry food in her mouth, her speech was slurred. "Don't take the helper god Kang to guard the petitioner's passage. It's very annoying!"
Suddenly she swallowed a sip, moved in front of Esther, stood on tiptoes and smelled his chest. "You also have the smell of God on you, but it's already very faint."
[Huh? What's going on?] After hearing a speech that was clearly not what a child should do, Carlin couldn't help but get a little closer.
"Does it sound like a god was born from this fragile bloodline? A petitioner? What is that?" Esther didn't know anything about gods.
"Petitioners are the souls of those loyal believers who have entered the kingdom of God." The little girl pointed to the sky, but the two of them saw nothing.
"What do you need to do if you want to visit the gods?" Esther asked again.
"Phuket Island." She started gobbling it again.
"Then, where does this passage you guard lead to? What's in it?" This time it was Karin who asked.
"It's such a good time, Nijian Gou has failed every year." She didn't answer Karin's question and licked her dirty fingers.
Esther observed that the paintings on the ground were just children's graffiti, probably a stickman holding a sickle killing monsters.
"There should be a sickle here, where is it?" Esther had a guess. "You have been doing this by yourself for hundreds of years, haven't gods and petitioners appeared?" He took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
She, by the way, tried to smooth the girl's messy hair.
At this moment, the girl's raised arm produced two curved blades, blocking Esther's touch. She looked at Esther blankly, and the blades looked like part of a sickle.
