Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh hiding place in the thick fog
A thick fog blocked everyone in front of them, almost as thick as a wall. Hao Ren stopped in front of the thick fog, looked to both sides, and found that the wall of fog spread to the end of the field of vision and was very far away.
Gradually shrink.
Thick fog blocked the entire town, and there was no road ahead.
"I'm afraid this is the boundary of the town." Vivian also stopped, and she carefully put her hand into the dense fog. A strange, smooth and warm touch came from the fog, "
The scope of the secret realm is limited, and there should be no way to go further."
"Why don't you leave? Follow up, follow up." Haimerwin's voice came from the side. He was about to step into the fog, but found that Hao Ren and the others were stopped in place, "Hurry up, hurry up."
, the devil may run away..."
"Can't you see such a heavy fog?" Hao Ren pointed to the wall of fog in front of him, "No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't go in."
Heimerwin was a little stunned. He turned to look at the edge of the town shrouded in thick fog: "Fog? What fog? Is there any better weather than this? I can see the shadow of the old mill from here."
Everyone was stunned: this "ghost" could not see the thick fog blocking the border of the town.
Just when Hao Reng was about to ask something more, Heimerwin had already raised his legs and walked into the wall of fog, and then a magical scene appeared:
As Hemmerwin stepped forward, the thick fog around him slowly receded as if alive. Shadows of roads and vegetation gradually appeared in the originally chaotic fog, as if these things were born from the fog.
Appeared suddenly and extended forward along Heimerwin's footsteps.
Hao Ren didn't know what happened, but he still pulled Vivian's arm: "Everyone, follow."
The thick fog seemed to have no end. It was overwhelming and completely blocked the entire space outside the town. Within a few minutes after entering the thick fog, everyone could no longer see the direction they came from. They could only see the endless fog in all directions in the distance.
The team kept rolling a few meters away. The road extended forward within this extremely limited range. In this chaos, Lily grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve uneasily: "Landlord, are we going to get lost?"
ah?"
"Can't you lower your head and smell it yourself?" Vivian rolled her eyes at Lily, "As a canine creature, you are afraid of getting lost, and your talent is all about eating spicy sticks?"
Lily blinked and rubbed her nose: "That's right."
"It's okay," Hao Ren comforted her, "I just left the beacon transmitter at the entrance of the thick fog. Don't get separated. We can teleport back."
Nangong Wuyue looked at Hemerwin who was walking in front and tugged on his brother's sleeve: "Why can a ghost open a path in the thick fog?"
"Because he 'remembers' these," Nangong Sanba frowned, "Although I am not sure of the principle, it seems that this town is composed of two parts: the main body of the town is the real material world, and all supernatural parts such as spiritual bodies
, soot, Heimerwin himself and the thick fog that blocked the town, these parts come from 'memory'. Think of the entire town as a huge consciousness, and the things that happen to it that remain in its memory have become us
These phenomena in front of us are basically supernatural because memory is always unstable."
Hao Ren looked at Nangong Sanba in confusion: "Why do you suddenly know so much?"
"I have learned nothing else in the past hundred years, except how to deal with the ghost world," Nangong Sanba puffed up his chest quite proudly, "Werewolves can't be beaten, and vampires can't be offended. If you want to make a living, you can only help.
People hunt ghosts and so on. But this is the first time I have seen such a large-scale spiritual realm, but no matter how big the scale is, the basic principles are the same. Matter, memory and soul, together constitute a supernatural space. That is what we see
It’s like this.”
Hao Ren said oh, wondering how Nangong Sanba could confidently say "Werewolves can't be beaten, and vampires can't be offended"...
Under the leadership of Heimerwin, the group went deep into the thick fog. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hao Ren noticed that the road under his feet turned uphill: the team should be climbing up a gentle plateau. Heiseana
Somewhat impatiently, he asked the temporary guide in front of him: "Hammerwin, how far is it?"
Heimerwin was startled by the sudden sound behind him. He shrunk his neck and pointed forward: "Oh, right in front, right in front, you can already see it. That's the black house. It's just a house.
When I woke up, it turned out to be like this."
Others couldn't see where the "house" in Hemmerwin's eyes was, so no one said anything until after walking for a while, the upward gentle slope gradually became straight, and the team finished the slope and came to an open area.
On the flat ground, they finally saw the so-called "Wizard's Hideout".
A large dilapidated old house stood alone in the open land in front, surrounded by thick fog, which made it look even more shadowy and eerie. The structure of the big house was very simple, with two floors, except for a small Ma Pengzhi.
There are no redundant ancillary buildings around the outside, but judging from the scale, it should have once been a building belonging to the rich: at least common people in that era could not afford to live in a mansion with such regulations.
Heimerwin shrank back with a little fear and pointed at the entrance of the big house: "He lives here and almost never lets people approach him."
Hao Ren said "Oh" and looked at the appearance of the house curiously as he approached. He found that except for the main entrance, all the windows in the building had been nailed shut with wooden boards. Occasionally, a few rotten window panels exposed the gaps.
You can also see thick and old black cloth covering the back. The entire building is therefore highly enclosed. Normal people would never live in this kind of house.
Vivian glanced at Heimerwin: "You haven't gone in to see it either?"
"I...went in once." Heimerwin was a little scared. "It was full of filthy and blasphemous things. All kinds of deviant books were piled on the table."
"Now it sounds like you are quite resistant to that 'scholar'," Hao Ren stared at the change in Heimerwin's expression, "but according to our investigation, you trust the 'scholar' so much that you almost want to hire him as a consultant.
And you often discuss problems together."
Heimerwin was startled, and a look of disgust and uneasiness quickly appeared on his face: "I was bewitched at that time! It was magic, the power of black magic! The devil used magic to brainwash me. I can't even remember it clearly now.
What did I do while I was under control? But I am awake now and can remember some of the things that happened at that time... It seems that you are right, the devil is really dead, and the spell he cast on me has faded.
Already."
"Perhaps so," Hao Ren nodded perfunctorily, dragging Heimerwin towards the house, "You come in too, I need you to continue to be the guide."
Heimerwin resisted for a while, seeming to be still wary of the house, but after seeing the malicious looks in Cassandra and Hessiana's eyes, he calmed down and bowed his head obediently to show his cooperation.
With a "squeak", Hao Ren pushed open the dusty door. Immediately a lot of dust fell from the door frame. He took two steps back and waited for the dust to disperse, then he was the first to walk in.
Lily once again drew the weapon of fire to serve as lighting. The moment the weapon appeared out of thin air, Heimerwin softly screamed in surprise, only to be stabbed by Duncan with the hilt of his rapier.
The big house is very messy, with large tables and wooden shelves filled with various equipment placed everywhere. Fortunately, the objects and books on these tables and shelves are obviously related to black magic: this is indeed what the wizard once said.
Used place.
"The fog doesn't seem to have invaded this house," Lily sniffed while checking the furnishings in the room. Her nose was very sensitive to the thick fog outside. She sneezed several times when she was outside, and now after entering the house
Much more comfortable, "And it's strange, there is no dust here."
There was a thick layer of dust everywhere in the house, but not the black ash: the strange ash phenomenon seemed to remain within the confines of the town.
The team began to look through the materials and books left by the wizard on the table. Heimerwin found that no one was paying attention to him. He sniffed, found a corner and sat down carefully, as still as a stone statue.
Hao Ren saw a big book open on the big table in the center of the room. Looking up from the book, a sentence caught his attention:
"On the other side of the gate, the secret knowledge in the twisted kingdom." (To be continued...)
