Chapter 1188: Many doubts
“Changes at dawn?” Hao Ren curious, “What?”
“This village is not always active. When the first rays of the dawn illuminate the fence on the edge of the village, everything will immediately lose its vitality and fall into a strange state of suspended animation. I suspect that this magical land cannot It runs perfectly, so it needs to 'rest' for hours every day. When it is noon, the village will recover."
“It seems that the time and space distortion here will be weakened after dawn,” Vivian said thoughtfully. “It should be easier to break the blockade at that time and prevent traps from being triggered.”
Hao Ren also agreed to nod. "Well, and after dawn, can you wake up the goods or if you have to get her out."
Everyone’s eyes fell on Lily, who was sleeping, and everyone showed their gentle eyes on the silly dog. Vivienne sighed: “The lack of heart is really a treasure of life. I don’t know how she did it. Eat and sleep wherever you go."
This night, except for Lily’s big sleep, everyone didn’t have a good rest.
Hesperris remembered the things of the Olympus family, and many thoughts made her sleepless; Vivian was very sensitive to the strange atmosphere in the village, and she was a nocturnal creature, just overnight. Didn't sleep; Hao Ren was unable to sleep by the noise that was constantly coming from the square, so he studied with the data terminal how to communicate with the evil spirits. The result is that the fingers have been bitten several times...
As for Pierre, according to him, as long as they follow the rules of the villagers’ actions, they can weaken their vigilance. He has bypassed today’s surveillance and no one will come to him until noon the next day. The trouble, so he found another room in the longhouse to sleep for one night.
The Wang brothers and Catherine who stayed in the square, Pierre said that they have been "too much immersed in this land, and are assimilated quite seriously." It is difficult to restore rationality, and rushing to contact them can only lead to this land. The curse power is alert, so the best way is to leave it alone. If you can remove the curse from the outside in time, they may still have a chance to recover.
The next morning, when the first sun shone into the village, Hao Ren immediately felt that the nearby atmosphere had begun to change.
“It seems to be quiet,” Vivienne listened carefully to the movements in the village. “And the activity of the creature is weakening.”
The data terminal also reported: "The surrounding time and space distortion is easing, confirming that some kind of energy decline is occurring in a wide range."
Pierre took Hao Ren and his entourage out of the longhouse and walked into the village that suddenly became quiet.
Everything around is not the same.
The old houses are more broken than before, the mottled wooden walls and roads are like a faded color covered with a layer of gray, a strange smell mixed with lime and slightly rancid, floating in the air, but divided It is unclear where the source of this smell is.
Lily squinted and yawned, and the strange smell in the air made her frown: "Huh... it’s so bad."
Pierre took everyone to the edge of the village. They didn't see any villagers along the way. This place is now dead, just like a grave, cold and silent. Hao Ren asked curiously: "Where did people go? Because the magical decline has disappeared?"
"They are all in the house," Pierre said, coming to a log cabin next to the road and pushing the decaying door open.
A middle-aged villager quietly lay on the low bed in the wooden house. Hao Ren looked up and found that the villager's skin was dry and pale, and it seemed to be dehydrated and collapsed abnormally. However, he was not dead: after getting closer Hao Ren found that the villager’s chest was still slightly ups and downs, he was still breathing, but it was weak and hard to detect.
Vivian went forward and touched the other's skin: "It's lower than my body temperature."
"Living people, but it is no different from death," Hesperris whispered. "This kind of living dead phenomenon is quite common in the Egyptian gods of that year. They are good at making semi-dead corps, but it is still not quite here. same."
"The things on this land are not illusions, the houses are the ones that have been preserved by magic to this day, the villagers are also living humans, but the supernatural forces distorted everything and made them exist in quite strange conditions," Pierre shook his head. "To tell the truth, I don't know what will happen if the curse is really lifted, perhaps losing the support of magical power, the people here will die immediately, and the village will instantly become ashes..."
"According to your statement, this village has actually become ashes more than two hundred years ago. Now this land is only a dead soul that is not willing to disperse," Hesporis looked at the detective of the spiritual world. At a glance, "As for the villagers here... If the soul dissipates, the only people who leave a shell are just walking dead. When they are completely 'transformed', these people are already dead. We are going to do now. It is to lift the curse as soon as possible so that the three people who have not been completely swallowed can survive."
On the edge of the village, the low, ruined wooden fence was still faltering, drawing a border for the cursed place, and Pierre stood in front of the fence, looking at the dark forest outside, shaking his head: "Even In the case of weakened magical power, I can't leave here. The power of this border will not change with time."
Hao Ren reached out and explored the fence. This time, he clearly felt his hand through an invisible barrier.
He had never felt this barrier before he stepped into the village.
This barrier is repelling the transboundary behavior, he feels the energy fluctuations for a moment, then the data terminal starts to read a rising value, and the terminal immediately warns: "The time and space skew is increasing! This place is reclosing! ”
Hao Ren took back his hand, and it was not enough that the time and space closure detected by the data terminal gradually recovered.
"As expected, you can use brute force to break through the blockade, but it will also touch the enchantment of the secret, and when you stop crossing the border, the border will be restored immediately." Hao Ren turned back. "It is like an unattended alert." The system follows strict legal actions."
Vivian looked at Pierre: "We can take you out, but to be honest, you better stay here. We have to go to the noble house to trace the roots of the curse. The danger of that place is probably better than the village. Much higher, we don't necessarily protect you in the event of an emergency."
Pierre smiled: "I also feel that I better stay here, and I can only get in the way with you."
"That will wait for our good news," Hao Ren patted Pierre's shoulder. "You can rest assured that we will not leave you alone."
"I can only hope for you," Pierre barely smiled and looked at Vivian. "Your suggestion is worth considering. Maybe I am also retiring from this line."
"Right, this thing you take," Hao Ren touched in his pocket and pulled out a small communicator and handed it to Pierre. "Use this to keep in touch with us. The method of use is very simple."
Pierre took over the communicator and his brow wrinkled slightly: "Is the enchantment around the village likely to interfere with the signal?"
"You can rest assured," Hao Ren said with a thumbs up. "The signal of this gadget is not so easy to be disturbed. You stay in the village to observe the situation, we will lift the curse, and if there is any change, we need to contact each other." ""
Pierre put the communicator in the closeness and nodded firmly.
After inquiring about the general orientation of the noble residence, Hao Ren and his entourage forcibly broke through the space blockade at the village boundary and came to the normal forest area.
As they crossed the border, the entire village violently vibrated for a while. It seemed that the magical power that was entrenched in the depths of the earth was angered by the escape of the "prey", but with Hao Ren and his party completely breaking the border, all the abnormalities were Quickly restored.
The process of getting out of the “difficulties” is simply unbelievable. However, Hao Ren knows that the “curse” of this village is not a problem for his group. The real problem is the secret behind this: the sea where the whereabouts are unknown. Glis, the ancient artifact with Vivian power, and the historical truth that led to the village being cursed.
Finding out these things is the key to stopping them.
The roads in the forest are still rugged, but the atmosphere around the village is clearly fresh, and the rugged roads are less boring. Hesperris walked in front of the team, and she seemed to casually say, "I always feel that the village is not just as simple as a "curse."
“Yes, the enchantment around the village is the result of careful arrangement. The purpose is very clear, that is, ‘only can’t get in,’” Vivienne replied. “It’s not like being cursed, it’s more like a cage.”
"The cage is used to shut things down," Hao Ren said quietly. "If someone deliberately creates the border of the village, then he must be worried about something coming out of the village. As for the people trapped inside... I am afraid it is just an accident. The victim."
At this time Lily had completely woken up. She listened to the conversation between Hao Ren and Vivian, and inserted a mouth: "Is that cage too weak? Like our level, you can walk straight out."
Hao Ren thought for a moment: "There are only two explanations, either that the cage is really weak, or that the cage has been broken. What remains is only a shell that is not effective..."
At this time, Hesperes suddenly made a noise and interrupted Hao Ren’s words: "The front seems to be." (^)
