Chapter 420: Clues
Walking into the door, what Cangye saw was another Yanan town, with the same tower, and countless black and white portals on the ground, the difference was that the wandering Yanan shadow had appeared here in advance.
Seeing the night, the shadow holding the torch rushed immediately.
If you are attacked by it again, you may re-enter that layer of dreams that contain some kind of clues, but you will also have to pay the price of weakening the blessing, and before you get more clues, the night will not be directly exchanged for the price.
Therefore, he chose to avoid the Shadow's pursuit, and then returned along the road, and the Shadow stopped the pursuit when he reached the door.
When the night returned, he found that the portal, which had been black just now, had turned white, and even the carvings on the door had been replaced.
Suddenly turning his head, Cangye saw a figure suddenly appear behind him.
It was a young man with the Scythe of Time and beautiful lead-red hair, and the data he had piled up was not even legendary.
As if sensing the scrutinizing gaze coming from behind, the young man suddenly turned his head, and was startled on the spot when he saw the presence of the night, and the scythe immediately blocked his chest, and his expression became vigilant.
It seems that the other party has no intention of talking.
After a brief glance, Night, who had collected enough data, turned to leave again, this time choosing another white portal.
The gate was connected to the town of Yanan, and there were more shadows of Yanan floating in the empty town, several of which were faintly larger than their counterparts, holding not only torches in their hands, but also long-handled broad-bladed scythes in the other, which were filled with a thick and ominous black aura.
The moment the night appeared, all the shadows almost swarmed towards the sharks that smelled blood, and the shadows with the scythe in their hands almost teleported to the eyes of the night, and attacked with a swing of their blades.
In the next moment, Nightshade returned to its place, and the Dimensional Wand appeared in his hand, which was an experiment, in addition to confirming whether it could teleport back and forth, but also confirming Nightnight's conjecture.
The young man just now had already left, and Cangye ignored him, and immediately found another portal, this time it was a black door, and the pupil imprint on the door revealed a mysterious signal, but Cangye could not parse this signal at present.
Walking through the door, the scenery behind the door this time is completely different from the previous two times.
Nighty returned to the town of Anan, where the witch had been judged.
The situation on the street is completely different from what was seen before.
The town of Yanan, which appeared due to a strange illness, was shrouded in a dark and desperate atmosphere, and the appearance of the witch became the only outlet for the hysterical people in extreme fear.
However, the indulgence of hatred does not alleviate fear, nor does it fundamentally address the spread of strange diseases.
If the witch trials represent a desperate future, then the current town of Yanan is a comfort where despair has not yet arrived, and the most obvious feature is that there is no anxiety or panic on the faces of people walking on the streets.
This time, the role of the night is that of a boy no more than 10 years old, appearing as the butcher's son.
His father, who was a butcher, ran a large slaughterhouse on his own, and almost the meat of the entire town was supplied by this slaughterhouse.
Meat is more expensive than vegetables, so the butchers who run the slaughterhouses have a fortune comparable to that of the big merchants. However, because the slaughter of livestock was a blood-stained work, it was despised by the upper class and was not accepted by the upper class.
However, even so, the butcher's status in the town was higher than that of the average commoner, but in order to enter high society, he chose to send his son to a school founded by the church, and bribed the headmaster with a lot of money, so that although the butcher's son did not have the top grades in the school, he received 'excellent' evaluations every year.
The outstanding students are qualified as 'priest apprentice candidates', and the butcher hopes that his son will become a priest in order to enter the high society and achieve his wishes.
Walking down the street, almost everyone greeted the butcher's son with a smile, and from the expressions of the people, it was obvious that the night read the intent of affection and flattery.
The current time is about 20 days before the strange illness appeared.
The first case occurred in the case of the pastor's daughter, the day after the party's 9th birthday, and in the following days, the friends who were currently celebrating the pastor's daughter's birthday all contracted a strange disease.
It just so happens that the role that Nightnight is currently playing is one of the friends of the pastor's daughter.
On the way, suddenly someone ran from behind and shouted in his ear kindly:
"Henry!"
The butcher's son's name was Henry.
When the night turned around, he saw a little girl in a plaid skirt and a churchgoist-like costume standing behind her, about her age, with an innocent smile on her face.
"It's little Alice!"
The person who called the night was the priest's daughter, and the priest had two daughters, both named Alice, so people used age to distinguish Alice.
Little Alice let out a crisp laugh like a yellow bird:
"My birthday is almost here, have you decided what to give me?"
In fact, Henry's father also thought of climbing the high branches by marriage, and little Alice was a good target, so half a month ago, he asked Henry to prepare a gift for little Alice.
"Well, I've got a gift ready."
"Is that so? I'm so happy, I'll see you then! ”
Little Alice smiled and left, if it was the previous Henry, he would definitely be fascinated, but Cangye got unusual information from it.
The gift has long been prepared.
It was a carved wooden angel statue in the form of little Alice.
The main material of the statue is said to be a piece of black walnut brought from a large city.
Walnut is an extremely precious wood, and the carver on top of it was also made by the butcher at the expense of the last carpenter in town, and the surface was covered with a layer of gold lacquer, making the statue's original value even more expensive.
This angel statue is not so much to please little Alice as it is a subtle statement of intention to the priest, which can be regarded as a showdown of change of direction.
In fact, if there is no strange disease, the butcher's purpose has really been achieved, and the wedding of little Alice and Henry will be held at the time of their 14-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
This time it lasted two hours before the night was kicked out of the door, and at the same time, the black door metamorphosed into a white door.
It seems that from the white door, you can go back and forth to other parallel Yanan towns, while the black door enters the Yanan town before and after the witch trial, and you can only stay in the black door for a few hours at a time, and then it will be raised, and the portal will be transformed into a white door, and during the door, you will be completely substituted into the character, unable to interfere with the character's actions, and can only watch the whole event from the perspective of a bystander.
Night's bosom holds a silver key.
The Silver Key is the only one of the 10 Silver Spoons that has been forged after opening the Dream Gate.
The test of the Dream Gate is to survive in the town of Yanan for 10 days with this key.
At certain times, a clock will appear in the sky, and then all portals will be opened, and the shadow of Anan will appear, attacking the holder of the silver key.
All the Dream Gate trialists are not in the same dimension, and they travel back and forth to the nodes of Yanan Town through the portal, and occasionally there will be a situation where the trialists meet.
If all the portals were just white doors, it would have been easy to guess the intention in this test, which was to survive the attack of Anan Shadow for a certain period of time.
But what is the meaning of the existence of the black gate that can travel to another Yanan town?
On the surface, 10 days of survival seems to be easy to achieve, but because of the black door and the witch trial that seems to have nothing to do with the trial, Nightnight always feels that the purpose of this trial seems to be for the trialist to uncover the mystery behind it.
