In the cold basement, the human skeleton is made up of bones, and the blood is soaked in it, and it looks like it has a stain.

If a woman in a cloak is silent, it is difficult to distinguish the gender.

Regarding the unsightly outfit of the woman in the cloak, Ye Chen couldn't care about slander, whether she was weird in some aspects.

"Bang!"

After greeting old Rupert, the cloak woman uncorked the bottle with a pale palm, and released the small blue butterfly inside.

Butterflies came out of the glass bottle and fluttered, with a little bit of brilliance, flowing towards Ye Chen.

"Something is wrong. ”

Although Ye Chen couldn't see the face of the woman under the hood of the cloak, when he saw the blue-veined butterfly coming, he still guessed what the cloaked woman had done secretly.

The sporadic brilliance revolved around Ye Chen, making his consciousness misty, and at the same time, his soul had a feeling of going backwards and detaching from his body.

"The butterfly effect, or is it time rewinding?"

Ye Chen secretly raised his vigilance, although he wasn't sure what was going on with the changes in his senses, he realized that he couldn't let the strange things develop.

"What am I going to do? Let it be strong, or the bright moon will shine on the river? If I knew Jiuyang Divine Skill, I would have crackled and knocked down this man and woman a long time ago. Ye Chen saw the blue-veined butterfly wandering around, and could only secretly deal with it.

Although there is no good way, Ye Chen found that he did not retreat and wanted to be very old-fashioned, and he was quite effective in facing the current strange situation.

After a while, the blue-veined butterfly stopped flying and landed on Ye Chen's shoulder, not only did it not repel him, but slowly undulated its wings, with a sense of intimacy.

"Goddess favor!"

In the hood of the cloak, two green flame-like eyes were revealed, and the woman's voice was surprised.

Not only the woman in the cloak, but even the expressions of the middle-aged man with two mustaches and old Rupert also changed slightly.

"Goddess, I don't know your so-called goddess at all, I didn't take less herbs before, and I was more close to nature. Ye Chen secretly scoffed, and quickly abandoned this disrespectful thought.

In Ye Chen's opinion, in the face of the current strange situation, even if he pretends to be a hypocrite, maybe it will have some positive effect.

"Life is on top!"

Thinking of this, Ye Chen pretended to hold his hands in front of him, intending to drive away the small things on his shoulders.

The white right hand of the cloak woman introduced the blue-veined butterfly flying from Ye Chen's shoulder into the glass bottle.

"Just now I was clinging to my senses, which may seem anomalous to the law enforcers, but now I can't care so much about it, I can't go back to the scene when I was psychic. Ye Chen was somewhat relieved to see the green butterfly being retracted.

Leaving the basement, Ye Chen's whole person felt much better, and he felt a little reluctant to say anything about the test equipment and materials in his heart.

"Don't say that this small suburban manor that is looked down upon by the aristocracy, even if I want to prepare an underground laboratory, I can't afford it. Ye Chen, who went upstairs in silence, couldn't help but be secretly deflated when he thought of the situation in which Joyce was still struggling with food and clothing.

Although the suburbs were remote, inconvenient to go to school and work, and could not provide the aristocracy with everything they needed to live, it was better than the slums where the Joyce family lived.

Following the two bearded men upstairs in silence, Ye Chen returned to the study where the psychic ritual was held in the previous night.

In Ye Chen's opinion, Professor Toton's home is outdated, but it has a strong European style, and with the small manor and ranch outside, it is still very good if you can live here.

The compass eyes had collapsed, and it was impossible to determine whether it was a secret artifact of the Pale Age Burial Dynasty.

Since it was daytime, things in the study were clearer.

The simple altar where the psychic ritual was held was still there, and the swollen corpses of Professor Toton's four people had been removed, except for the copper candlesticks that had fallen to the ground, there were also small pieces of stone carvings scattered around the altar, which Ye Chen hadn't seen clearly the night before.

"This is the ancient Owen, Professor Totton said that the stone contains spirituality and can be used to summon spirits, but it does not match the ancient Baian Enwen on the parchment. Ye Chen recalled some details and could realize that this was another level.

"Did you participate or saw Professor Totton's psychic ritual last night?" The middle-aged man in the top hat with two beards first looked at the elegant young man waiting in the study, and then asked Ye Chen.

"Professor Toton, they seemed to be praying, and then there was a change here, the study became gloomy, Professor Toton, and they were also obviously abnormal, their bodies were irregularly swollen and crack......ed," Ye Chen recalled Later, the look of horror was beyond measure, and they kept retreating back.

The half-truths and half-truths that Ye Chen said could not be regarded as complete deception, the trembling of his body and the fear on his expression were only exaggerated in combination with his memories.

Ye Chen hid his compass eyes and did not mention it, so as not to cause the church enforcers to continue to investigate.

Speaking of which, Ye Chen pretended that he couldn't bear the loss of emotion in his heart, and didn't want the law enforcer to inquire in detail about the psychic ritual, after all, it involved the secret of his soul crossing.

"Meghan has confirmed that he is not tainted by the evil aura. Seeing Ye Chen leaning against the door, supported by Elena, who was dressed in the gray robe of a divine servant apprentice, Lampard with two beards said to the elegant young man with pale golden eyes.

I saw the elegant young man nodded, as if he had no intention of pursuing it further, or the clue was broken.

Ye Chen wasn't sure if he had passed the test, so he went downstairs and walked out of the house in a daze, he vaguely felt that he couldn't be careless, and he had to be more cautious in the future, in case this matter was not over.

The enforcers didn't ask about the secret artifacts that were suspected to be the burial dynasty of the Pale Era, and they didn't even mention it, because they didn't know, they didn't find it, or what, which made Ye Chen also uncertain.

Although Old Rupert didn't say anything during the whole process, Ye Chen still thought that he was not simple, because he was too calm, he didn't fear the gods and didn't face the panic of the law enforcers.

"Joyce, I believe that after this incident, you should be aware of the danger of exploring mysterious things, and have also learned a lesson from it, I hope you can take this as a warning in the future, and do not make similar attempts again, otherwise you may lose your life. Before getting into the carriage, Frank Lampard, with his two mustaches, stepped forward to warn.

"Is this a warning, or does it mean to let me go?"

Ye Chen was suspicious in his heart, and nodded hurriedly on the surface, looking like he was really frightened.

"Also, don't go out and talk about it. The middle-aged man gave the black-haired young man a solemn look, as if to warn him that he didn't want to be invited for coffee.

"It's really scary, looking at this situation, it's not easy to mix up in the future!" Ye Chen showed a resolute look of attention, and sighed secretly in his heart.

During the process of returning to the urban area of Lunsu City in the church carriage, Ye Chen looked out the window of the car at the trees and was slightly distracted, because of the falling leaves in late autumn, those trees looked strange, like the twisted limbs of the devil.

"Joyce, what are your plans for the future?"

In the increasingly stable carriage, old Rupert asked the black-haired young man with a rare opening.

"This, me?"

Ye Chen was a little caught off guard by the question, and his tone was a little sluggish.

Joyce was indeed about to graduate from the archaeology department of Taya University, but Ye Chen's soul was not yet prepared for this.

"If I could, I'd still like to stay at Taya University as a researcher, and if not, the museum and field archaeology team might be a way out. Ye Chen naturally didn't want to teach, but his previous answer should be as close as possible to Joyce's thoughts in the past.

No matter where the work is, it is a big thing, and Ye Chen used to have no good opportunities, so he could only rely on the outdated profession of medicine picker to make a living.

"A museum?"

Rupert Sr. frowned, as if he hadn't given much thought to the field archaeology team.

According to Ye Chen's memory, there are not many ancient museums in Lunsu City, some belong to the official empire, and some major churches collect some ancient documents and items.

Old Rupert didn't speak for a while, Ye Chen remembered that the old man had expressed many times before that he hoped that Joyce could learn more about mechanics, thinking that that was the general trend of the future, but Joyce was stubborn and couldn't listen to it.

"Joyce, the pursuit of history is very scary, some dangers are unimaginable, think carefully about the path you want to take, I should also leave, I don't know when I will come back, whether I can come back, and I can't care about you in the future. Old Rupert said in a deep voice.

"Leave, where are you going?"

Ye Chen didn't have any feelings for old Rupert, but he was surprised to hear him leave.

"I'm going to enter the gates of radiance in the Quinham Mountains. ”

The answer given by old Rupert was very simple, but even Elena, who had a cold expression, was slightly shocked.

Joyce knew before the Gate of Radiance, and during the Twilight Age, this world had undergone great changes, and large areas of spatial distortion had appeared in many places, forming a high-dimensional channel connecting the different worlds.

After people enter the high-dimensional channel to explore, they find that those alien worlds are actually an endless and vast real world, with strange monsters, ancient civilizations, and rich resources, all of which are attracted by interests.

With the passage of time, the major empires and churches paid more attention to the alien world, organized armies and church groups to enter continuously, formed a situation of colonization and land reclamation, and established a stable gate of brilliance, which could lead to the colonization and gathering place of the alien world.

The gates of brilliance represent competition and glory, and with the success of the pioneers, more descendants want to write their own legends in the alien world.

Joyce had such an idea before, but in Ye Chen's mind, this was very unrealistic, not to mention entering the alien world, even if he let him leave home and walk in the current world, it would be difficult to guarantee his survival.

It is said that poverty will limit a person's steps, and if old Rupert leaves, Ye Chen is not even sure how to live.
