In the center of the city-state, where the frost is highest, the Great Cathedral of Silence stands quietly on the top of the mountain. The gloomy sky makes this majestic and dark building seem to be even more silent and depressing. Its towering spiers stand out in the mist.
Standing like thorns and sharp knives, overlooking the entire city.
A tall figure who stood out among the crowd strolled through the square in front of the church, looking around at the scenery around the square like an ordinary tourist.
Not long after, another old gentleman wearing a dark brown coat with an elegant and gentle temperament walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards the tall figure.
Vanna saw Morris walking from the crowd, and quietly came to a relatively secluded place.
"There is nothing unusual here in the church square." Fanna leaned against a street lamp, looking at the church door not far away, and whispered.
"The same goes for City Hall. At least on the surface, no one here has any traces of mental or cognitive contamination." Morris wiped his monocle, "But I noticed something."
"A situation?"
“Some people were discussing the recent exploration of the sewers by the authorities near the square, and if I am correct, they were talking about the Second Waterway,” Morris said. “They mentioned the gatekeeper Agatha—that
"The real Agatha should be trapped in a mirrored Frost City at this moment," Morris whispered. "The one who is leading the team... is probably a fake."
Fanna took a deep breath, then suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Silent Holy Cathedral.
The majestic and solemn building stood against the background of the gloomy sky, and the towering spiers stood silently in the mist.
Her expression became solemn: "...there is nothing unusual about the cathedral, so there are only two possibilities, either the fake has escaped the cathedral's eyes, or...
"Either the Frost Church is no longer trustworthy, or at least there is a big problem in the cathedral," Morris nodded slightly, "No matter what the case is, the Frost Church has obviously lost control of the whole thing.
——We should leave here, and Mr. Duncan must be told this immediately."
Vanna nodded silently and walked towards the exit at the edge of the square with Morris. Before leaving, she raised her head for the last time and looked at the open space opposite the Silent Cathedral.
That's where the city hall is, and the Queen's Palace, once known as the "Winter King's Court", stands there. There was fog on the top of the mountain. In the slightly thicker fog, Vanna saw that the building was also
It stands silently under the sky like the Silent Cathedral, with its towering spires and numerous towers. The towers are like thorns and sharp knives in the fog, silently overlooking the city.
Vanna's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Morris immediately turned his head: "Fanna? What did you see?"
Vanna stared intently at the hazy mist.
Amidst the mist, the city hall returned to its original appearance. It was a palace-style building with various arc-shaped vaults. Surrounding the majestic gray-white main building were long halls and continuously undulating vaults extending to both sides like wings.
.
There are neither gloomy black spiers nor forest-like towers.
"Fanna? What's wrong with you?" Morris's voice sounded from the side again.
"I just saw another cathedral - right where the city hall is," Fanna suddenly whispered, her expression looking particularly solemn, "Although it was only for a moment, I am sure I saw it right!"
"Another cathedral?" Morris was startled. He instinctively looked across the square, but the only thing he saw was the City Hall, which looked the same.
But he didn't doubt Vanna's judgment at all.
"This is not a good sign," the old scholar said in a low voice. He raised his hand and pressed the top hat on his head. "It seems that you were the only one who saw the scene just now. This may be because your spiritual vision as a priest is far superior to ordinary people -
—That vision appeared directly around the cathedral, which is evidence that the erosion is getting worse."
Fanna didn't say anything. She just frowned and looked at the urban area at the foot of the mountain. After a long time, she slowly said: "It's foggy, it's everywhere."
It started to fog. It started in the central area of Frost City State, and then the fog began to spread to the entire city. From the beginning, there were only wisps of mist, to the fog that quickly became thick. In just a few hours, the entire city was covered with fog.
It was already shrouded in haze.
"It's very foggy outside!"
Shirley was lying on the window of the bedroom on the second floor, stretching her neck and looking at the scene on the street, shouting with a look of surprise on her face.
Agou also lay down by the window, his ugly skeletal head crowded with Shirley. After staring outside for a long time, he suddenly said something: "The reason for fog in urban areas is usually the large temperature difference between day and night, and human activities."
This causes water vapor to rise, dust in the air to increase, and water-containing air between buildings to suddenly drop in temperature to form..."
Shirley was confused when she heard this: "Agou, what are you talking about?"
"Agou is talking about the content of the second chapter of "The Logic Behind Nature". He has been reading this book for the past two days." Nina, who was doing homework at the desk next to her, turned her head and said casually, "You also occasionally
It’s time to try reading simple reading materials yourself, which are very useful for mastering vocabulary - if that doesn’t work, you can start with picture books.”
Shirley thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Are you mocking me for not knowing enough words and that I can only read picture books now?"
Nina's attention has turned back to her homework: "No, because you can only read picture books, and describing the facts is not sarcastic..."
Shirley suddenly opened her eyes, as if she wanted to be angry, but then she was attracted by the thicker fog outside the window, and waved her hands: "Hey, I won't tell you this anymore - come and take a look! Outside
It’s such a heavy fog! I’ve never seen such a heavy fog in Pulande..."
"The temperature difference between day and night in Praland is small, and the wind is strong in the morning and evening, so it is not easy to fog," Nina said without raising her head. "I don't want to look at it. I haven't finished my homework yet. This set was left by Teacher Morris."
The paper is really difficult, and the multiple-choice questions are so confusing. I always feel that I chose the wrong one...
"Hey, when you encounter options that you can't decide on, you always choose C," Shirley joked, then rolled her eyes again, as if a new idea came to her, "Nina, do you want to go out to play? It's nearby.
, don’t go far - there is a snack shop across the street. There must be no customers in this weather. Maybe you can buy a very cheap cake..."
"I'm not going," Nina said casually, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. If Uncle Duncan comes back, I won't complain..."
Just when she was halfway through her words, a strange, rustling sound suddenly sounded in the room, interrupting the conversation between the two girls.
"Did you...did you hear anything just now?" Shirley quickly jumped back from the window sill,
He looked around with a wary face.
Nina also became nervous, and just when she subconsciously wanted to look around, she suddenly saw something strange on the surface of the test papers and books spread out in front of her eyes out of the corner of her eye.
The words are moving, the symbols are rotating, the black and white ink marks are vibrating as if they are coming to life, and at the edges of those trembling pen marks, the black shadows spread quickly like smudged ink, and quickly fill the entire paper
noodle.
In almost an instant, all the books and papers that Nina had just read began to tremble violently, and overlapping murmurs mixed with rustling sounds echoed throughout the room!
"Ah! There's something wrong in the book you're reading!" Shirley suddenly exclaimed, and at the same time, she subconsciously lifted the chain connecting her with Agou. The moment her exclamation fell, the man who was pursuing knowledge
The smell came, and the evil things floating towards the real world also entered the room!
Black smoke and dust swirled wildly, and entities emerged from the smoke. Skeleton fragments were scattered on the floor, and in the blink of an eye they turned into ugly and terrifying demons - three ghost hounds fell on the floor, making frightening noises.
Roaring low, its chaotic scarlet eyes were filled with madness and chaos!
Then, they saw him lying on the open space next to the window, seemingly
Agou seems to be a little dazed.
The Deep Hound and the Deep Hound looked at each other——
Shirley even felt that she saw a moment of confusion in the postures of those chaotic and unintelligent "original demons".
However, this did not affect her reaction at all.
The dark chains clattered instantly, and Shirley raised her arms high. The huge force swung Agou in a full circle like a meteor hammer, and the next second it roared and smashed into the demon closest to the window!
"I'll beat you to death!"
With a loud bang, the two dog heads collided earth-shatteringly, and the demon that just ran out of the deep sea was obviously no match for Agou, who had been practicing with Shirley for many years - both in terms of the hardness of his skull and his reaction.
This is the case above.
The first deep demon was smashed into pieces upon encounter.
The second deep demon only had time to open its mouth, and before it could even let out a roar, it suddenly felt a sudden surge of high temperature.
A flame came from the side, and Nina raised her leg to perform a 6000° flying kick.
