After a cursory journey through several narrative domains, following Sandra's Love Car and seeing many areas of the town, Tang Qi has a preliminary understanding of this small town that is so large that it is difficult to see the borders.

Without a doubt, this is a magical forbidden place.

Every resident is not an ordinary person, and some of the spirits above the boundless mystery have left projections here, and there are many divine powerhouses like the "Three Sisters of the Cat" who directly reside in their bodies.

However, most of the town's inhabitants are latecomers, accumulated over a long period of time.

It's obviously unlikely that they will learn the secret knowledge that Donkey wants, but perhaps the first townspeople like Thorpe, the Grim Reaper, will be different?

While pondering, Tang Qi ignored the constant invitations to the narrative domain that Thorpe the Shar Pei kept sending.

Although he doesn't have to worry about being killed by the other party when he enters the "Everyone Has One Death", after all, Thorpe is a god of death, and if he really fights against it, Tang Qi will have to use most of his strength, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Looking at Thorpe, who was still nagging and expressing his dissatisfaction, Tang Qi smiled and suddenly took the first step.

This time it wasn't "The Death of a Beautiful Boy", he casually made up another narrative domain.

His image has changed, from a languid and handsome black-haired beautiful boy to a detective wearing a trench coat, hat, glasses, and pipe, who also exudes divinity, but is not very powerful.

New fragments of information, exploding in the air.

"Forced Narrative Domain [Secret Detective]...... Pass the verdict. ”

As expected, Thorpe, who is a rogue Shar Pei on the outside, but a grim reaper on the inside, does not refuse Donkey's invitation to the narrative domain at all.

Before entering, he also showed a smile that seemed hideous, but in fact still made people feel funny.

"This is self-inflicted, stupid two-legged beast, and I hope you don't leave any psychological shadows. ”

With His voice, the mist rose.

A new sight emerges in the Magical Corridor.

It looks like an industrial city from the Golden Age of the Union, a rainy harbor, a detective looking for clues to an event, and his chosen witnesses try to resist, even kill the detective.

The "witness" was powerful, and the confrontation between the two should have given birth to many narrations.

But sadly, Donch omitted these.

In the flickering moment, the scene enters the detective's office: in a simple room full of old-fashioned style, the detective transformed by Tang Qi sits in a chair, across a shabby pharmacist table that seems to have been picked up from the street, and on the shaking chair, a Shar Pei with an unbelievable face is squatting.

"It can't be. ”

Thorpe spoke, his eyes fixed on the detective.

To be exact, he was looking at several mysterious symbols revealed in the dense fog behind the detective.

As a member of the Grim Reaper's camp, he was able to recognize all spirits represented by three of the symbols.

He had thought that the "beautiful boy" was a divine creature with a ghostly heart, and the reason why he infiltrated the castle of cats was that he came for the treasure house of cats, just like the other invaders.

As a Guardian, He has helped his three daughters fight off many of these pretenders.

But at this time, he realized that the target of this guy in front of him would not be the treasure trove of cats.

"Lord of Truth and Thorns...... Ms. Destiny...... Mystic Monarch ...... Are you their common dependent?"

"No, it can't be, it's impossible for these three to take the same dependent. ”

"Who the hell are you?"

If it weren't for the rational suppression, Thorpe would have gone berserk at this moment.

He disguised himself as a divine creature to protect his three daughters, and he could easily deal with those weak pretenders, but in the face of the mysterious figures standing behind the three "masters", unless the entire Grim Reaper camp gathered, he could no longer maintain his previous state of mind.

It's not that he has lost the power to resist, the reason why he still squats quietly, but he still has reason, enduring the suppression of himself by the breath of the three masters, looking at the so-called secret detective with a warning gaze, waiting for an explanation.

Once the detective reveals his malice, Thorpe will act against all odds and flee with his three daughters.

If he fails, he will summon his companions from the Reaper's camp directly.

Boundless mysterious, well-known occult knowledge, the Grim Reaper camp is incomparably united.

If there is no reason to attack a neutral Grim Reaper, you will soon have to face a collective hunt by the Grim Reaper.

Tang Qi also knew this, but he had no ill intentions.

He took the breath of a few Juggernauts, just to calm Thorpe and have a good conversation with him.

Without hesitating for half a second, Tang Qi, who maintained his detective form, casually transformed his notebook and pen, spread them out on the table, and then said to Thorpe in a very sincere tone: "Mr. Thorpe, I am indeed not a dependent of these three, I can only borrow some of their powers. ”

"I'm a full-time secret detective, mostly working with spirits above the boundless mysteries...... One of them here was my client, and he sent me into the town of the Grotesque to find out something. ”

"I originally wanted to turn to your three daughters for help, but it's better to be able to communicate with you, I wonder if I'm so lucky?"

"Rest assured, the incident I am investigating has nothing to do with you or your three daughters, and is another mysterious matter. ”

As Tang Qi spoke, he pointed to the mysterious symbols that loomed in the fog behind him.

It's easy to understand that Donkey has created the image of a detective who is hired by a powerful master.

Didn't expose himself, just right to maintain a median value, neither strong nor weak.

Sure enough, Thorpe did not investigate how his identity was exposed, nor did he immediately rebel, he still squatted on the chair, looked at the "classic detective" image of Tang Qi a few times, frowned very tightly, and said with some scruples:

"What do you want to know?"

Thorpe's answer, in line with the development of the narrative domain, did not trigger the grotesque town warning.

Tang Qi pondered for a short time, recalled the instructions left by the fate, and took a little detour.

"Mr. Thorpe, do you know the origins of the Grotesque?"

Hearing this, Thorpe's wrinkled face was slightly stunned, but he quickly realized something.

He looked behind the detective again, looking at the mysterious symbols.

Each symbol represents a "Lord" who is exercising some kind of judgment.

There was no casualness in his eyes that he didn't care about anything, but instead he was solemn.

His gaze finally fell on the mysterious symbols that represented "fate" and "dreams", but he could not make a final confirmation, and his voice became solemn.

"You're here for Him?"

"He?"

Tang Qi's heart moved, and it was not difficult to tell from Thorpe's tone that not only did he know the origin of the town of the Grotesque, but he also knew that there was an "old god" who was imprisoned in an unknown place in the town of the grotesque.

Just from Thorpe's ugly face, I can know that the old god is probably extremely terrifying, enough to make Thorpe, a member of the Grim Reaper's camp, feel terrified.

Seeing that Thorpe seemed unwilling to tell the secret, Tang Qi did not hesitate, nodded directly and admitted, and then said: "I am a coerced investigator, I must know the secret." ”

"The being entrusted to me is a terrible bitch, and even if you won't tell me, He will know that even the Lord can rarely resist His covetousness. ”

"If I fail, the next one to come here will probably not be the investigator, but the direct saboteur. ”

"I hope you can share your secrets with me, at least I still have hope here, after all, there is more than that bitch behind me. ”

"There's another foreign lord who thinks differently. ”

If someone else were saying this to a Grim Reaper, it would be hard to believe it.

But Tang Qi turned into a different detective, and in the fog behind him, there was far more than one mysterious symbol representing a dominant-level god.

Thorpe was obviously the first time he had seen such a scene, he understood what Donkey meant, and he knew exactly what the town was facing, and in fact he and the other first residents knew that it was an almost irreversible end, only that it came sooner than he thought.

"Fate's arrangement?"

Shar Pei let out a mocking laugh, but he also understood Tang Qi's "situation", and did not embarrass him anymore, and spit out the secret in the next second.

"The town of the Grotesque originated from an ancient 'Spirit', who is a powerful, evil ancient god, and the forced narrative domain here is an authority that belongs to him. ”

By accident, He irreversibly fell into personhood, and He was imprisoned in this forbidden place. ”

"The town of the Grotesque is made by His authority, both belonging to Him but also a prison that binds Him, and the new inhabitants of the town are added every moment, and new stories are born every moment of the town, which can serve as food for Him, to immerse Him in, not to run wild, not to cause destruction. ”

"But we all know that it's temporary, it's just an illusion. ”

"His hatred is inexhaustible and will never be dissolved, and one day in the future He will be freed from it, which is irreversible. ”

"We've all been waiting for that day to come, but now 'Fate' seems to have a different idea, and he wants to get that horrible big guy out of trouble early?"

......

Thorpe's answer sounded, Tang Qi frowned, and asked directly, "He is ......?"

Almost immediately, Thorpe's voice was followed by a voice of horror.

"He opened countless huge mouths and stretched out countless arms to mystery, and every scale covered with it shimmered with images of pain, death, and hatred, and no living creature could escape His gaze, and His sneering voice pierced through the infinite barrier and into the hearts of billions of beings, and everything was dissolved, and life, will, soul, and heart would become a part of Him, owned by Him, and enslaved by Him. ”

"He is the Lord of hatred, ravage, and enslavement, the master of the mind, the beast that devours billions of souls, and the mad ancient god Knosaus who fell in the Age of Origin. ”

"He prophesied on the day of his birth in the town of the Grotesque: on the day of his escape, he would plunge the infinite universe into terror, and he would devour all of us, and all the gods would be his food. ”
