Teenagers and teens holding hands strolling...... If you change the background to a seaside in the early morning, a sunny park, an amusement park in the morning and the like, then this is a very ordinary scene of a couple traveling arm-in-arm. But now the background is a thin and swirling smoke, desolate, devastation, messy ruins and wreckage, every one of which looks eerie.

However, one of the parties, Miss Shrine Maiden, was obviously putting herself in the role of a young girl who was visiting a certain scenic spot, pulling Merlin's hand and dragging Merlin forward, and she even had the leisure to introduce Merlin to Merlin what was before the ruins by the way," ...... It used to be an amusement center, but it's completely collapsed......" she said to Merlin, pointing to a large area of rubble that looked like a garbage dump, "and it might be a good thing that this place is ruined now...... and she took Merlin's hand and continued on her way, telling Merlin what the ruins were in the past.

When the two of them stayed in front of a large piece of scrap copper and rusted metal, Miss Miko spoke again, "There used to be many bronze statues here, 'Father of the Great 6th Army', 'Father of the Great Navy', 'Statue of Mother'......"

Merlin, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth at this time, and a deep voice came from behind the mask and respirator, and he took the words of the shrine maiden and continued: "This is the last symbol of the rampant era at the beginning......" He glanced at the metal wreckage all over the ground, [It may be the best time for my blood 'father', right?] It was the era they dreamed of reappearing......] such a thought passed through their hearts, but they said, "Just let them pass with time, and that's good." ”

However, the shrine maiden was clearly very interested, and after visiting the remains of the bronze statue, she took Merlin to see the remains of various monuments. Among the ruins of marble and concrete blocks, only two simple statues and one stone tower have been largely preserved, one of which is a flaming horse standing quietly, and the other is a Derubi with a tail hanging and a mouth slightly open, and the stone tower is a standard seven-story tower of bones.

"'Military Horse Comfort', 'Military Dog Comfort'...... The Flame Horse and Derubi were once the horses and dogs of the army, and they also sacrificed their loyalty and lives in the two battles that were the result of defeats......" She raised her hand and pointed to the stone bone tower, "It is the spirit seat of the other demonic beasts in the 'Soul Seeking Tower'......"

"Is this the destination?" Merlin, who tried his best to restrain his gaze and not move around at will, asked very indifferently. He could naturally hear the slight fanaticism and yearning in Miss Miko's tone when she talked about that past, and it was no wonder that it was the national Shinto period, the heyday of Shinto since its founding, and as a clergyman, there was no reason why she could not miss that crazy era.

"No," Miss Shrine shook her head, "But soon, soon......" I don't know if it was because of some sad thing or because of some other reason, Miss Shrine's originally high-spirited love fell into a trough again, she stopped talking and just grabbed Merlin's hand tightly and pulled him and continued to walk towards the inside of the shrine. It's just that the little hand that gradually strengthened has become colder and colder, and at the same time trembling more and more.

The two of them continued to walk through the ruins and dilapidated houses, passing through the worship hall that had basically become a blank field, passing the crumbling main hall, and bypassing the bong'an hall, which still largely retains its basic structure, and the two walked all the way to the end of the shrine, where a huge clearing stood alone and abruptly a black bone-buried tower, which seemed to be modeled after a more ancient era and had a very strange shape and evil bone-buried tower, which did not seem to have been demolished in a different way like the other buildings in the shrine. It's just that the exterior has obviously been roasted by the fire, and coated with a thick layer of ash.

"This is it...... Miss Shrine Maiden suddenly let go of the small hand she had been holding, and her tone became resolute, "My journey ends here for now......" She turned her head to look at Merlin, her gaze for the first time no longer on nothingness but on Merlin's body, "Now you need to face it alone, go, go to the bottom of the tower...... But don't worry, I'll be with you until the end......" After saying these thoughtless words, the shrine maiden folded her hands and began to recite the scriptures in a low voice.

Merlin, who was silent, nodded at the shrine maiden in the middle of the chanting, and resolutely raised his right leg and walked firmly towards the ancient tower of bones. Along the way, Merlin's heart did not have the previous hesitation and scheming, and when it came to the end, he simply let go of all scruples and worries, and with the courage and confidence that he had barely mustered up, he would face the unknown fears and dangers in front of him.

[Speaking of which, who and what is buried here?] Merlin asked himself a question, and he knew that this question did not need to be answered, as long as he entered the tower, he could understand, so after asking himself, he just shook his head and smiled, and continued walking.

The stone tower itself was not damaged, but the wooden gate of the stone tower had apparently not escaped the catastrophe, and had long since become a pile of rotten wood residues scattered in the doorway, but even if it had dissipated, it was still holding its place.

Standing under the stairs in front of the stone tower, Merlin looked up at the ugly tower, and his eyes were soon drawn to a stone plaque on the lintel, "The Tower of the Human Gods......" He read in a low voice the characters on the plaque, which had been roasted by the fire, but still very clear, "I see," he laughed as he finally understood all the joints, "I ...... here"

Laughing softly and shaking his head, Merlin stepped into the ugly, twisted stone tower.

Behind him, the dressed shrine maidens were no longer alone, dozens of young shrine maidens stood behind her in a strange procession, dozens of voices chanting the same ancient, magical scripture in unison, and dozens of faces with the same expression—resolute and indifferent.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The stone tower is very dirty and messy, and the air is filled with the smell of heavy dust and **, thanks to the help of the respirator and mask, Merlin can breathe normally, but it is clear that the inner core of his respirator must need to be replaced after this journey. In addition to the smell in the space, it is also pitch black, and you can't see your fingers. Merlin's goggles don't have night vision, so he can only dig out a small high-power flashlight from his waist bag and hold it in his hand to provide the necessary light source, but the flashlight that can shine a bright light source in the field seems to be out of order here, and the light source is as weak as a firefly.

"Shouldn't it be broken?" Merlin was also a little dissatisfied with the fact that the flashlight that used to be so bright was now so unbearable at the critical moment, but he remembered that he had already charged the flashlight. After two casual taps, the brightness now has a tendency to darken instead of getting bigger, and he doesn't dare to move anymore.

With the help of this weak and unreliable light, Merlin forced all his courage to move slowly through the stone tower, fortunately nothing came out to harass him on the way, and Merlin even had the leisure to use the faint light of the flashlight to identify the names of the tombstones passing by, which had left a strong mark on the brief modern history of the city.

"From the beginning of the Restoration to the ...... of World War I," Merlin said to himself as his gaze swept over the tombstone of a well-known old-fashioned man, "There are really a lot of so-called heroes buried here...... It's just that these people who were opposed to each other in their lives actually lived in the same cave after their deaths......" He laughed dryly, "I don't die in life, but I am happy after death......"

Perhaps Merlin's soliloquy provoked some kind of response, and the light from Merlin's flashlight flickered violently a few times before extinguishing completely.

"Damn it......" Merlin viciously shook the flashlight twice, raised his hand and slapped it a few times, and finally opened and closed the switch a few times, and finally let the flashlight emit a fainter light again, "What are you doing?" With the light source again, he continued on his way.

Merlin, who was just moving forward on his own, didn't seem to notice that there were hideous, terrifying, distorted and deformed faces emerging from the solid darkness behind him, they were staring at Merlin's back silently, roaring and twisting unwillingly, and the ghost claws composed of dim ghost qi and death qi were desperately scratching at Merlin's back, but those pairs of claws penetrated Merlin's body without causing any consequences.

"Strange...... Merlin suddenly turned his head and looked back with the faint light of the flashlight, "Is there anything behind?" The faint light of the flashlight could not pierce through the thick darkness, and Merlin's vision seemed to be unable to see the ghosts that were almost already in real shape, and he looked around a few times and muttered a few words before moving on. Only the ghosts were left screaming in pain and resentment.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

There was nothing stopping Merlin along the way, and the path in the stone tower was relatively clear, even Merlin, who was a big road idiot, was lucky not to lose his way, and found the stairs of the stone tower very smoothly. Walking slowly down the stone staircase, Merlin entered the unlit bottom of the stone tower, the only bottom of the tower.

"The so-called ...... bottom" walked down the last step, Merlin turned his head to look around, "Isn't that the ...... this floor?"

The light of the flashlight seemed to be even dimmer again, and the tiny light as thin as spider's silk could only reflect a few centimeters away, and Merlin, who could no longer stand this kind of Cheng dù lighting, cursed the despicable quality of the flashlight for a few words, and then prepared to put away the flashlight, ready to use the backup plan again.

I advise you not to do this...... Wizir gave a word of advice before Merlin turned on his ability vision.

[Why?] Merlin didn't understand. In fact, when he just walked into the stone tower, he wanted to turn on the ability vision to help him see, but he was strongly blocked by his partners, so he took out a flashlight to deal with it, but now the flashlight has basically lost its effect, and in order not to touch the darkness in his eyes, he only has to turn on the ability vision, which is the only option.

[Listen to me,] Wizil said very firmly, "Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life......]

[Oh well. Merlin, who has always been very receptive to different opinions, re-grasped the flashlight that was about to be put away and turned it on again, and began to move cautiously at the bottom of the stone tower with the help of this little light of victory and weakness.

By the way, Wizil interrupted Merlin's pace with a sudden remark, taking off his hearing aids...... You don't need it......] It said categorically.

Merlin had to obediently pull out the two small hearing aids from his ears and eyes and stuff them into his pockets, so that he basically lost his vision and then completely lost his hearing, plus the storage of respirators and masks basically deprived him of his sense of smell and taste, and now he can only move forward in the darkness with the feeling of ** and a little glimmer. For some reason, Merlin didn't have a sense of fear at all.

In the process of moving forward, you will always step on some rotten wood remains and some suspicious smooth hard objects, sometimes you will step on some slimy fluid, and sometimes you will step on some soft objects that are quite elastic.

"Puff~"

No, Merlin stepped on another rotten piece of soft object, and there seemed to be some liquid in it, which splattered far away as his steps fell.

What are these things? Subconsciously crushed the soft object he stepped on with his toes, squeezing out the last liquid in the soft matter, Merlin was very suspicious of what he had stepped on, he really wanted to lower his head to see.

[Don't look, don't ask.] Wizil continued to advise.

With his restless curiosity, Merlin accepted Wizil's advice and moved on.

The subtle light barely illuminated the slightest distance in front of him, and Merlin could only tiptoe carefully in the almost complete darkness.

Completely deaf, he naturally couldn't hear the loud roar that was echoing loudly in the bottom of the stone tower at this time, and he couldn't hear the words that seemed to be a fusion of many completely different voices:

"You...... Got here......"

"I'm trapped ......"

"I'm lonely......"

"It's lonely......"

"Will you come with me?"

He would not have heard a pair of claws scratching at the dirt, planks and slates, a rotting body struggling out of the cage in which it was buried, or the screams, shouts, cries and screams that resounded throughout the stone tower......

Merlin will be glad he couldn't hear it when it's over, he will.
