Although it was still early in the day, the way Fu Qian walked out of the school gate seemed to be like the setting sun stretching his shadow infinitely.
The gears of fate will eventually turn, one seemingly ordinary day.
And in just a moment, you will find that you can never go back to your former self, not even your name - wait a minute, what should your name be now?
The pace that almost had its own background music stopped abruptly. Fu Qian frowned slightly and thought of an important question.
There was no name written on the piece of paper, and there didn't seem to be any business cards on the person, and it wasn't even mentioned in the mission introduction.
To this day, the warehouse's diligence index has still not improved.
But it doesn't matter, if you want to become a hunter of the gods, you have to cut off the past.
He snorted coldly and looked down at his hands before paying.
The brass key, symbolizing the call of destiny, is shining brightly in the light.
After briefly identifying the direction below, he realized that he had no idea which direction the address was in.
"Hello."
But how can such a small setback stop the journey of the stars and the sea.
I exited the mission mode a second before paying and said hello to a kind old lady.
…
Is the distance a little further?
It's up to someone who is not strong-willed. Halfway through the car ride, he might lose his blood and give up being the savior and go back to pursue the story.
Sitting in an uncomfortable seat, I stared out the window silently, taking stock of the remaining journey.
The old lady was still very enthusiastic, so much so that after hearing the address and pondering for a long time but finding nothing, she even went further to find a young woman to ask.
In a slightly abnormal development, the female classmate who looked to be a few years older than herself not only looked over with a slightly strange expression, she even actually knew this place.
Is it related to any urban legend?
Looking at the densely packed buildings outside the window, Fu Qian seemed to slightly understand the meaning of that gaze.
It was obvious that those eyes were not looking up to a hero, but pity for the chuunibyou.
In such a modern city, it is indeed difficult to imagine that such a key can open any serious place.
It seems to be a bit like an urban legend...
After a while, the chosen one, who encountered no obstacles along the way, got off the car and followed the address to find the destination. He was lost in thought at the buildings with different styles in front of him.
Narrow windows, high walls, oddly shaped reliefs, and even a depressing color scheme at first glance.
There is a high-rise building across the street next to it. This unpopular building obviously does not match the surroundings - but it matches the key in my hand very well.
At the same time, it is easy to tell that although the shape is retro, it is not a real ancient building. It looks more like a theme park that has not been opened after it was built.
Of course, it doesn't matter. There are many forms of destiny summons, and they are not limited to places.
The only problem is that this place looks very big. Where can I find the lock corresponding to this key to enter the "workshop"?
…
Abandoned buildings with a gloomy style are indeed places where urban legends can easily breed, so it is normal for them to be known to many young people who are curious about them.
And in this case, a retro-style key plus directions to get here, no matter how you look at it, the elements of mischief are soaring.
But that is for a mortal, as a person who has long been determined to become the Lord of the Rings, it is just a little confusing appearance.
The main door was closed, and in the darkening sky, I looked around for a moment before paying, then passed the warning sign and went up a narrow ladder on the outside of the building.
And soon, he successfully found a half-open window on the side.
It can be seen from the traces that this is a common passage in and out of the building.
Fu Qian, who had not conquered the area with blood before, followed this custom at this moment and leaned sideways into the darkness.
Behind the window is a small hall with three doors.
Like most abandoned buildings, the interior is relatively empty. Only some things that are inconvenient to move are moldy and rotten inside, such as the door that looks like it fits the key in your hand.
However, as mentioned before, this building has a complex structure and many floors.
Even for Fu Qian, it is easy to confirm that there is no one else around but yourself.
In the absence of markings, finding the way into the workshop seems to be a tedious process of trial and error.
But it just seems.
As a chosen one, how can we be the same as young explorers who are just looking for adventure?
He took two steps forward and brushed his fingers over the patterned wall.
…
High-end design is often reflected in the details, such as this pattern that is not too delicate.
But if you look closely, you can find that there are no completely duplicate parts on each wall or even between each other.
Even every door, without exception, has dark patterns that echo it.
Of course, these all belong to the category of design, and it’s normal to just give the designer a thumbs up.
Now the key point is... he blinked before paying, and traced a pattern along the slightly dazzling pattern with his fingers.
And then another one…
In an instant, the originally chaotic patterns were decomposed into various combinations with different styles.
And the most important thing is that they don't quite match each other, they actually look a bit familiar, as if they have been seen somewhere before.
This place is not simple, indeed the world is calling.
After becoming more convinced that this was definitely not a prank, and that the power of the legendary hunting god was really waiting, Fu Qian snorted and took out the key, matching the newly separated pattern one by one with the pattern on its tail - it didn't matter.
Got the results quickly before paying.
Saving the world is not that easy, no wonder it requires a test.
Neither entangled nor discouraged, Fu Qian, who was always confident in his own judgment, simply put away the key, tried to open a door, and walked outside.
Sure enough, the slightly narrow passage behind the door also had the same messy patterns, and at first glance, it was different from the ones in the room just now.
Of course, normally speaking, considering there are no windows, an ordinary high school student should not be able to see anything at first glance.
Click!
The light in his hand lit up before paying, and the power from technology instantly dispelled the shadows.
After confirming with the old lady and the others that the journey was far away, and facing possible night operations, he had already made preparations along the way that were consistent with his personality.
Facts have proven that opportunities indeed come to those who are prepared.
All the way along the corridor, Fu Qian finally found a certain pattern that was not in the room just now and was more familiar.
I saw this pattern before when I was exploring underground ruins with a group of Saints. ()
