Chapter 2 "Error"
Hearing Klein's answer, Amon smiled and shook his head, and casually asked as he reached out to open the door:
"How did you come up with the idea of such an honorific name?"
There are not many honorific names that have to be related to oneself and avoid being locked by others using the automatic response to prayer. Seeing that it had been exposed, Klein had no need to hide it, and besides, he hoped to grasp possible opportunities through similar conversations.
At the same time, his mind raced as he thought about how to save himself:
"I was deeply 'parasitized', and any unfavorable thoughts were easily sensed and detected by Him......
"Today is Saturday, and it's almost Monday, if the 'Fool' stops the tarot meeting without warning, the other members will inevitably be panicked, nervous, and confused, and the person who has the contact method of the 'world' will definitely try to summon the messenger and ask the reason, and once the messenger lady gets close to me, she will be able to discover Amon's existence, and then, you can use the 'Yesterday Reappearance' charm to restore the peak state, and he has a good chance of saving me from Amon's doppelganger......
"The most important thing for me at the moment is to persevere and 'live' through these two days!
"By the way, since Amon can't steal my fate now, why did he try to make a peaceful deal just now? Even if I agreed, he didn't dare to let me go to the gray mist to give permission, which means that I am out of his control, and I can use the 'Source Fort' to effectively purify and fight back against the 'parasite'......
"Could it be that the 'promise' itself is a switch, and there is no need for a follow-up process?
Amon deliberately didn't mention it......
"Sure enough, you're cheating on me!"
When Klein grasped the silver lining and decided to delay for as long as possible for two days, Amon's focus was still on the name that neither people nor angels could think of.
As he walked out of the room, he scratched his chin and said:
"Have you ever protected Beckland's magic and theatrical performances?"
I protected a 'master of tricks'...... Klein, who had a plan, cooperated a lot more than just now, and replied simply:
"I'm a 'magician' myself and have 'performed' many times in Beckland. ”
Amun, who was wearing monocles, nodded:
"Barely established. ”
He then walked out of the hotel room and down the stairs to the street, where Crane followed like a servant, without any unusual movements.
Glancing left and right, Amon pinched his monocle and sighed and smiled:
"I'm so sorry. ”
"Regret what?" Klein asked, puzzled.
I've been caught by you, what do you have to regret?
Amon pressed the silk top hat on his head, kept the smile he had just now, and said:
"You can guess, and if you can guess, I can make your ending a little better. ”
Klein didn't believe in his promise at all, and in order not to be deceived into more secrets, he shook his head directly and said:
"I can't guess it. ”
"It's boring. Amon gave a brief comment, clenched his right hand into a fist, and lightly knocked it on the monocle.
Pedestrians on the streets, trees on the streets, sparrows on rooftops, rats in muddy corners, and creatures that could not be seen in the air, each had an illusory insect figure flying out and returning to Amon like stardust.
The person of this Son of God was suddenly elevated to the level of an angel.
Crane's left hand was raised, and the human skin glove suddenly became transparent.
This is "Teleport" turned on.
- At this moment, Crane's clothes are only real with "wriggling hunger", and the rest are conjured from flesh and blood using the power of "Facelings" and gloves.
...... Seeing that the "trip" was about to begin, Klein was stunned for a moment and blurted out:
"Why don't you 'teleport' in the room?"
It was something he expected Amon to take him out of Bakeland, after all, this was a place where the king of angels needed to be careful, but Crane couldn't understand why the other party would open the door normally, go down the stairs, and get out of the hotel.
The eye behind Amon's monocle glanced at Klein, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up:
"I've already answered you, it's a shame that you didn't ask for help from Pales. ”
This "Angel of Time" had an obvious smile on his face, but his black eyes did not have the slightest emotion, and he felt cold all over Klein's body.
He, he's sure I'm in touch with Parles Zoroaster...... Because of what happened last time? No, stop! Crane tried to meditate, trying to keep himself from thinking too much, lest Amon steal his thoughts.
Amon glanced at the panicked pedestrians on the street indifferently, looked up at the gray sky and said:
"I can only wait for the next time, and the most important thing now is to get you to that place. ”
As he spoke, the figures of Klein and Amon became transparent at the same time and disappeared at the door of the hotel, and everyone who came and went didn't think there was anything unusual about it.
After passing through countless indescribable spirit creatures and various overlapping patches of color, Crane and Amon appeared above a sea.
Beneath their feet are huge crevices, where the blue water is cut off, and a waterfall rushes vertically into the bottomless "darkness", which can never be filled.
This is the entrance to the relics of the divine war.
Klein's heart moved, and he asked:
"You're going to take me to the 'Godforsaken Lands'?"
Amun's monocle already reflected the magnificent "waterfall", and he bowed his head lightly and replied in a casual tone:
"Yes, even your messenger will no longer be able to sense you by means of a contractual connection. ”
There is a clear barrier between the "Godforsaken Land" and the spirit world, and it can only be connected by relying on the "Source Fortress".
...... Amon knew what I was going to do...... The flame of hope that Klein had just ignited was extinguished by the cold reality.
He couldn't find any other way to save himself for the time being.
At this time, Amun, who was standing in the air, muttered to himself:
"If it weren't for the destruction of my mausoleum in Beckland by the Steam Church, we could have used the 'Abyss' as a springboard to go straight over, and we wouldn't need to be so troublesome. ”
...... Klein changed the subject a little humbly:
"The 'Abyss' connects to the 'Godforsaken'?"
"Nope. Amon shook his head and said with a relaxed expression, "But I can use some of its properties to go anywhere." ”
"I've heard that some bad things have happened in the 'Abyss'. Crane asked tentatively.
Amon turned his head sideways and glanced at him, not hiding his curiosity:
"You know. ”
"Well, I once thought about exploring the 'abyss'. Klein didn't say much, fearing that the King of Angels, who had been approached by the "thief", would find out that he could read Russell's diary.
At this time, Amon suddenly laughed:
"You, exploring the 'abyss'?"
"What's so funny about that?" Crane himself was intrigued by what had happened to the Abyss, and took the opportunity to cooperate with Amon to try to find out more.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly had a new inspiration:
With the help of the dialogue with Amon, learn more historical secrets, and quietly digest the "Ancient Scholar" potion at a very fast speed, to see if you can use this to deepen your control of the "Source Castle" and get out of the current predicament.
This thought flashed through him, and Klein quickly restrained himself from thinking about similar things.
To his question, Amon laughed and said:
"You go to the 'abyss', it's like a beautifully wrapped gift that is offered to the person who wants it. ”
"...... 'dark side of the universe'?" Klein was startled at first, and then made a thoughtful guess.
Amon nodded:
"He was the only surviving Old God, the Demon King Fabuti, and now, heh. ”
Amon didn't finish speaking, and jumped from the mid-air wind to the large, illusory gap.
Crane then lost the support of the wind and plummeted.
After an unknown amount of time, the fountain of water surged upward, throwing him and Amon to the other side of the section.
As soon as he entered the "Divine War Ruins" and was directly exposed to the bright sunlight, Crane's ears suddenly sounded bursts of whispers with a strong sense of madness.
It was like a thin steel needle that pierced his eardrum and pierced his brain, filling his every thought with great pain in addition to familiarity.
And the "spirit worms" that make up his mythical biological form are gradually changing, as if they are about to give birth to a fallen consciousness that does not belong to him.
The whisper of the "true Creator"!
In this regard, Crane was able to barely resist it, but it was difficult to hold on for too long, and he couldn't go too far in the "Divine War Relic".
At this moment, he saw that the monocle that Amon was wearing in his right eye had absorbed all the light around him, and it had become extremely bright and white.
Then, a thick darkness reigned in the sky.
Amon directly stole the daylight of the "Divine War Relic"!
In the darkness, the doppelganger of the Angel of Time landed on an island with Crane and put him to sleep against a stone pillar.
Soon, Crane arrived in the gray dream world, and saw the black monastery and the projection of the epic and mythical "Giant Court" on the other side of the cliff.
Amun, who was wearing a black silk top hat and crystal monocles, appeared beside him, and with a smile he easily pointed to the projection of the "Giant Royal Court" that froze the dusk:
"That's the entrance to Godforsaken Land. ”
Klein thought for a moment and raised his doubts:
"Isn't it necessary to enter the dream at a specific location to open the entrance?"
He couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope again, thinking that if Amon could waste a week or two of his time in the "Divine War Ruins".
"Yes. Amon didn't deny Crane's claim, and said casually, "If you want to open the entrance, you have to take a boat all the way to the heart of this ocean of ruins, which can take more than a month, and you will experience a lot of dangers that you can't afford at the moment, and I don't have to." ”
"Because you are the son of the Creator?" Crane guessed.
"It's not. Amon put one hand in his pocket and turned and walked towards the gate of the Black Abbey, "This kind of chaotic place, the order is broken, the rules are changing, there are too many places to take advantage of. ”
The "Angel of Time" looked sideways at Klein next to him as he walked:
"Sequence 0 of the 'Thief' path has a very abstract name, 'Error'.
"This is the name of my father, who used to refer to a strange word of unknown origin:
“‘Bug’。
This translates to the Trojan horse of fate, the worm of time, the loophole of the rules, and the embodiment of all errors. ”
