According to Pierre's previous statement, when trapped in a small village in the woods, the flow of time of various things will fall into a very strange state, some things will accelerate decay, and others will show a state of space-time stasis, so what will happen when the space-time distortion of the village suddenly disappears?
For now, it seems that these distorted times will be "compensated" immediately.Three-hundred-year-old villages decay to ashes in an instant, the forests that have been blocked out of the walls have taken over the soil of what was once civilization in an instant, and the villagers who have completely merged with the village and become part of this magical system are regarded as dead things: they are also instantly compensated into time.Pierre was surprised and delighted when he saw Hao Ren and his party, what had just happened shocked and terrifying him, and the sight of everything around him instantly decaying and the squeaking of the great forest made him almost suffer a heart attack again.The Wang brothers and Catherine beside him seemed much more confused: the three of them had been trapped in the village for so long that they had almost lost the ability to think freely, and what had happened in the past few years had been a chaotic dream for them, and even the memories of the dream seemed to have been lost.After hearing Pierre's explanation of what had happened, the Wang brothers couldn't believe it, and Catherine's eyes widened: she thought she had just set off from some research camp outside the forest, and was about to come to the forest to collect data on flora and fauna.However, in the blink of an eye, it is almost a sea of life."
Now that the curse of this place is gone, what are you going to do next?"
Hao Ren looked at Pierre and asked, "The other three behind you......
Have you thought about the future?
”Obviously, the Wang brothers and Catherine haven't thought about such a far-reaching thing, or even if they did, they probably don't have a clue: such a bizarre experience has only been heard in the story of gods and monsters, and who knows what to do if it is really encountered in reality?
And even in the story of the gods and monsters, it seems that there is no talk about how to deal with the follow-up of this kind of thing, everyone has heard the story of Wang Zhike, but the story does not seem to tell how the unlucky guy who let the immortals lose a hundred years of time later make up for his ID card......
However, Hao Ren felt that the situation in front of him was at least luckier than that of the immortals playing chess in the story: they were only a few to ten years out of touch with the outside society, and they could basically resume production if they found someone with a fake certificate......
"I'm really going to consider changing careers," Pierre said from the bottom of his heart, and nodded to Vivien, "Your suggestion is very reasonable, my physique and luck ......
If we continue to do this, it is estimated that within five years, the photo will be posted on the wall.As for these three friends......
In an old saying in the East, meeting is fate, after all, we have been trapped together for so long, I will help them, at least let them return to their respective hometowns and live a normal life. ”Hao Ren was relieved when he heard this, and said in his heart that Pierre was willing to take over this kind of troublesome matter, so he just didn't have to worry about it.But he still asked curiously, "Do you have a way?"
The spirit detective doesn't even care about this?
It's okay for the two brothers to say that Catherine seems to have disappeared when Bush Jr. took office, and it has been gone for fifteen years, and it is more difficult to resume production......"
Pierre smiled slightly: "Spiritual detectives also have their own networks, and although there are few cases of mysterious disappearances for many years and reappearing, as long as their families are still there, everything is very easy."
And even if there is an accident, the worst situation is to find a fake certificate for them......"
Hao Ren: "......" tossed for a long time, and the detective in front of him is just such a means?"
Well, you can take care of yourselves anyway," Vivien waved her hand, "but if you really get into trouble, you can go to Athens, Greece, and draw a six-pointed star and eye pattern on any of the monuments near the city center, and someone will find you, and when the time comes, you can report my name and get a help from the Shadow Council." ”Pierre was suddenly moved, this was probably the first time he had been a spirit detective in so many years that he was about to come into contact with this level of supernatural power, although he didn't know what the Shadow Council was, but just hearing the name was enough to make his heart excited.And when he was excited, Hesperius reminded him again: "By the way, there is something to pay attention to." ”"Please."
Pierre replied with a straight attitude."
Just use water when drawing patterns, don't use paint," Hesperius covered his head, "Last time, two stupid X-X, who came from the Brotherhood of America, used spray paint to draw joint codes on city monuments.
The ...... who fished them out in the bureau" Pierre: "......"
Hao Ren patted the spirit detective on the shoulder: "Change careers as soon as possible, the daily life of these monsters is not as forced as you think." ”Pierre continued: "After the ...... arranged the affairs of these "strange village victims", Hao Ren and the others did not rush to leave, but turned to the ruins of the barren and grassy village, and walked deeper into the barren land.It's hard to imagine that just a few hours ago this would have been a village of hundreds of "people", but all that can be found here today is clumps of wild grass and shrubs, plants that have grown rapidly due to the distortion of time and space are still in a precarious state, growing and withering at an almost visible rate, and in the shadow of these plants, you can see the remnants of the village's severe weathering: crumbling logs, and gravel that was once used to pave the road.Hathaway followed behind them in her stealth form, showing the way based on her memories and the special skills of the undead's vision, and soon they reached a seemingly unremarkable depression.As for Pierre and the other three, they wisely did not come along to join in the fun: after a series of events, these men already knew that the front was not the area they should be touching."
Right here," Hathaway floated above the depression, her voice only accessible to Hao Ren and his party, "digging down." ”Lily jumped down first.The husky girl's claws flew up, and the stale dirt and gravel were quickly thrown out of the pit, and in a few moments, a huge pit appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and then Lily's claws seemed to touch something, making a soft "ding" sound.The dog girl has a keen sense and immediately brakes urgently, otherwise no matter what is at the bottom of the pit, it will probably be cut to pieces by her strange power and the clawed blade that sharpens iron like clay.Vivien summoned a swarm of bats to fly down, and soon, with the cooperation of the bats and Lily, a heavy-looking black metal box about a cubic meter square was lifted up.The metal box has been buried underground for more than two centuries, but it is still intact and sturdy, the deep black box glows with a metallic luster, and each surface is engraved with mysterious ancient runes and patterns, and as the light and shadow swaying between the trees, the ancient runes on the metal box continue to reflect various brilliance as if they come to life."
This is what Hercules brought out of Olympus," Hathaway whispered, "and he regarded it as his life, the only 'relic' that his majestic father had left him—though it was only a burden to him." ”"How should this box be opened?"
Hao Ren studied the structure of the box curiously, and he found that the thing did not have a clear up and down, left and right, and it seemed that the lid and lock were not visible—this thing should be a delicate mechanism container, and it was probably impossible to open it like a normal box."
He had anticipated his own fate, so he told us how to open the container," Hathaway landed slowly, her spirited fingers gently sliding over the surface of the ancient metal box, and the ancient runes began to fade regularly under her contact, "but I can only do to unlock the runes here, and then it needs a vital key." ”"Keys?"
Hao Ren and Vivien spoke in unison."
The blood of a descendant of Olympus," Hathaway looked at Hesperius, "Zeus himself designed this vessel and restricted it to being opened only by descendants of Olympus to prevent this valuable information from falling into the hands of outsiders.Hercules also mentioned this restriction when he gave us the method of opening, and he knew that there were some survivors of the Olympian family in this world, so please ask us to pass this on to his people if the situation necessary.But what happened next, as you know, was out of control and we failed to deliver on his request.But now, this sacred covenant can finally be fulfilled. ”Hearing Hathaway's words, Hesperith's expression gradually became serious.She took a deep breath and stepped forward with an almost solemn expression, slicing her finger and squeezing out a drop of blood and smearing it on the metal box.Vivien grabbed Hesperith's finger and put it in her mouth, sucking it up as she watched the metal box change.Hesperith's expression was a little strange on the spot: "......
What are you doing?
”"Don't waste it," Vivien said with a look of course, "I'm wearing a lot of mana, so hurry up and replenish some nutrients at this time."
Anyway, you've been a little hot lately, right?
”Everyone: "......"
And just then, there was a sudden sound in the metal box, and the complex mechanism container finally gradually opened.
