The large manor that was a prosperous place not long ago has now become an insignificant ruin in the middle of the barren land.
The luxurious mansion has been broken into scattered stones, the trees in the center of the garden are all broken, the grass has withered, and the fountain has dried up.
The outer fence is still there, but the iron fence is mottled with rust and is crumbling like a dead leaf about to leave the trunk of a tree.
All the guests were still in the manor, and no one had any accidents, but they were all frightened and shivered on the ground.
No one could have expected that the scenery between heaven and earth would change so suddenly.
As if tens of thousands of years had passed, the city of Shanfran completely disappeared from the earth, leaving only a desert.
"What is this place?"
"Oh my god!"
"What a dark cloud."
"Go home, I want to go home?"
The commotion became more and more intense, and the guests who could not calm down all rushed to the entrance of the manor, gathering there in an attempt to leave the ruins.
Victor felt a little dizzy. When he saw the changes in the world clearly, he suddenly remembered the strange world created by Pickman before.
However, although the situation is very similar, this world is not as scary as the world in Pickman's painting, and there are no shuddering deformed landscapes and twisted animals and plants.
"What's wrong with us?"
Victor murmured to himself, and then realized that Rianlong was beside him and looking into the distance.
At the end of the dark clouds where the sun shines through, the entire sky shows a magnificent brown color.
That is the color of the setting sun, which is obscured by thick dark clouds. After its light passes through the clouds, it illuminates the entire sky.
Quite rare and shocking.
Especially when it is thousands of miles empty and the ruins of the manor become an out of place lone boat, this feeling is really amazing.
Where Li Anlong was looking was a majestic mountain, standing majestically in the farthest horizon, bathed in the most dazzling sunlight.
There is a prominent building on the top of the mountain, with a regular shape and clear outlines of beams and columns. Its style is very similar to the ancient Greek temple that Victor saw in his previous life.
When he saw this big temple, Victor was convinced that they were no longer in Sanfran City.
Miria Lilith, who didn't know what means she used, actually dragged everyone at the banquet into this vast world.
And she herself... disappeared.
"Miria Lilith...what did she do?"
Victor stared at the temple in the distance and looked at Lianlong in confusion.
The latter's gaze as he looked at the temple was shining brightly in the holes of the mask. Even though his face was covered, Victor could tell that Li Anlong must have discovered something.
"Sorry, I don't know." Contrary to Victor's guess, Lianlong denied it, "I don't even know who that lady is."
That's right, this guy joined the Anti-Suppression Department for too short a time, and may not even know the evil the Davis family has done in the east.
"Okay, do you think this is some kind of invisible technique?" Victor asked the knowledgeable Rianlong.
The latter denied this: "No, if he really has such ability, then the other party is not a seer. In my opinion, maybe even a knower can't do it."
Create a whole world and drag the entire manor into it... Rianlong thinks that Miria doesn't have this ability at all, otherwise she wouldn't have to work hard to please the councillors.
"This is similar to an afterimage, a fantasy from the past, integrated into a certain relic to create a false space." Li Anlong continued to speculate, "I guess... this space is limited, and the purpose is just to
Lock us in and trap us."
"Prison?" Victor raised his eyebrows.
"I think so..." Li Anlong nodded lightly.
At this moment, Hodney, who had been pretending to be the manor's gardener, suddenly approached from behind.
He had taken off his hat, no longer pretending, and asked Victor and Lianlong in surprise: "What's going on? Have you two been exposed?"
Of course not. In fact, Victor and Lianlong were spotted by Miria at the first sight, and before that, they had never met that woman.
There were so many distinguished guests coming to the manor, and almost all of them were wearing masks. It was really strange that Miria saw through Victor and Rianlong as soon as they appeared without talking to them.
"Perhaps, the other party still has a relic that can detect the seer?" Li Anlong guessed.
Victor thought it made sense.
After the three of them reunited, they began to discuss what to do next.
At this time, many of those guests had already entered the wilderness.
They left the ruins of the manor and prepared to find their way home...
Victor found the extremely anxious congressman in the crowd, so he called the other two people and leaned towards him.
"Damn it, go to my house and dig out my box. There are very important manuscripts inside. Go quickly!"
Senator Watson Walter still could not accept the fact that his home was destroyed, and was frantically ordering his servants to dig out his valuables from the rubble.
However, today's servants have also suffered a psychological blow, and most of them were frightened to the ground and unable to move.
Victor came over at this time and greeted the congressman: "Hey, Congressman Watson, we need to talk."
The congressman's hair was messed up. He turned to look at Victor blankly, almost crying.
"There's nothing to talk about. You bastards from the Inspection Bureau have ruined everything for me!"
"At least you are still alive. As long as you can save your life and return to Sanfran, you still have a chance to make a comeback, right?" Victor approached him and said to him.
Watson stared at Victor's cynical face and felt even more depressed.
He shook off his hand, not wanting to talk nonsense to Victor anymore.
"We need you to provide clues about that woman. It's obvious that she pulled everything into this mysterious world." Victor ignored Watson's resistance and hoped that he would cooperate.
Congressman Watson clenched his fists and replied through gritted teeth: "I haven't known her for long, and I'm completely fascinated by her. Damn it... I have to catch her, find her, and let her get what she deserves."
punish!"
"Yes, if you want to leave here, you must find Miria Lilith." Victor followed the congressman's words, hoping to win him over to cooperate with him.
Watson loosened the tie around his neck and unbuttoned the lining so that he could breathe more comfortably.
He sat on the only stone bench in the garden that was not damaged, breathing heavily.
"She is a bitch. I have always heard people say that this woman travels in various political circles and has a reputation as a social butterfly." After Watson calmed down, he finally started chatting, "She promised to use herself
Her connections and methods helped the Progressive Party occupy a favorable position in Congress and even win votes. This is why I often interacted with her and became close to her."
Victor said "oh" in his third tone.
"Why do you think that a woman as mysterious and sociable as her will give political support to your congressman? Does she have this ability?" Li Anlong also took off his mask and looked at Watson calmly.
Watson stared at his red hair for a moment, then murmured: "Because...she showed me the power behind her, and the organization..."
