It's so quiet
On both sides of the empty corridor were the shadows of Yu Siqi and the priest stretched by the lights. They were not in as much of a hurry as they had been before, but they were much more cautious. This was because about three minutes earlier, Father Ann had informed Yu Siqi of his guess, or rather his thoughts.
"Did you realize that we wasted too much time on the way back?"
As Father An's idea was proposed, Yu Siqi himself quickly realized that they really shouldn't be 'on the road'. After all, under normal circumstances, he had been tracking at less than half the speed he was doing now. However, he and the priest took nearly twice as much time as they spent. And the most important thing is that even so, they did not successfully return to Fell's Invalides.
This is a fact that they are still in a state of 'rush' that cannot be easily accepted.
"Father Priest mean, are we lost?"
Yu Siqi looked at the arches with the same shape, and his aesthetic fatigue had prompted him to no longer be interested in the products of this decoration style.
"Now is not the time to rush to define them, but I can assure you that the rooms we walked through were certainly not as simple as they seemed."
Fr. Ann tapped his finger at the position of the door frame as he stepped over the arch again. A beam of light flew out of his fingertips and formed a distinctive symbol as it touched the door frame.
After confirming that he had completed the marking, Father An gave Yu Siqi a relatively simple task.
"I hope you can accomplish one thing for me in the next few days. As you may have noticed, I have left a distinctive mark near these arches. So next, I want you to do something in I've done it's actually pretty simple. You just need to leave a little 'trace' of your own in the place where you make a mark, and that's it. ”
Regarding the task assigned by Father An, Yu Siqi naturally couldn't shirk it. It's just that this is the first time he has been entrusted with such a 'mission'!
'What do you call your own traces?' You know, he can't shoot all kinds of light with his fingers like a priest. Wait, if you want to leave your own 'traces', Yu Siqi seems to have thought of something. ’
I saw the corners of his mouth rise a little proudly, and then the time near the mark froze. This should be considered a trace of himself.
After doing this, Yu Siqi explained the situation to Father An, who nodded in satisfaction and led him to the next destination.
In this way, it was not until Yu Siqi and they tossed for a long time that the new situation was finally discovered by Yu Siqi unexpectedly.
In the process of Father An once more applying his mark, Yu Siqi followed closely behind, leaving his own traces. The unexpected discovery of the latter... Around these markers, there are scattered fragments of time. Such a shocking discovery undoubtedly made him very concerned, and as he looked closely, he learned even more shocking news.
That is - the reason why these time fragments are generated is extremely simple, that is, because someone can't solve the time frozen by him, so they use brute force cracking. It's like Yu Siqi adding a lock to time. Some people can't open the lock because they don't have a key, so they choose the most simple and crude way to smash the lock. Although the lock was smashed open, the remaining fragments of the lock itself were not so easy to clean up.
After noticing this terrible truth, Yu Siqi immediately stopped Father An, who continued to leave, and told him his "amazing discovery".
"Well done, you didn't disappoint me."
After listening to Yu Siqi's reasoning, Father An's whole person seemed to glow with a strange light, and he was extremely excited.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Siqi saw Father An walking around the spot a few times. Since he has been following the figure of Father An with his eyes, this kind of 'circle' actually has a bit of a meaning to wrap Yu Siqi in, especially in the senses.
When Father An stood still, Yu Siqi heard a burst of muttering. This made Yu Siqi mistakenly think that Father An was chanting some powerful spells again? As a result, he heard Father Ann say something to himself; "Haven't your prayers been answered?" Only then did I realize that the priest had just been praying.
After another five minutes or so, Father Ann finally returned to his normal state. This refers to the state of being able to talk to him and communicate with him. To be honest, Yu Siqi actually wanted to talk to him from the beginning, but he couldn't.
Because he was convinced that once the priest had entered a state of self-centered 'thinking', nothing would be able to interrupt him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
The first sentence of Father An, who came back to his senses, was to apologize to Yu Siqi, which undoubtedly made Yu Siqi 'very comfortable'. However, he was no longer the kind of being who only 'enjoyed', and when they were able to talk, he asked Father Ann questions.
"Didn't the priest's prayers work?"
The first thing Yu Siqi asked was something he was very concerned about.
"In a sense, yes. But personally, it helped me a lot. ”
Father Ann snapped his fingers, and the crisp sound traveled far down the hallway before dissipating. Yu Siqi personally disagreed with the priest's approach, but he chose to remain silent for the time being. Because, he was sure that the priest's words were not finished.
"Have you noticed? It seems to be just you and me! ”
After a slight pause, Father Ann continued.
'What do you mean it's just you and me?' ’
At first, Yu Siqi didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence until he read something else in Father An's eyes. As the priest said, 'There may be just the two of them here'.
But that's not scientific, is it?
And so on, after going through so many supernatural phenomena. He also intends to resist the banner of science, which not only does not convince anyone, but also does not help the reality of the situation at all.
After realizing this, Yu Siqi felt that it was better to continue to let Father An perform for now, and his blind involvement might only make the mystery more and more complicated.
Of course, ideas are ideas, and words must be continued. Otherwise, it would be boring for the priest to sing a one-man show there alone.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Father, can you be more detailed?"
"If anything, it's probably too quiet here."
Without warning, Father Ann struck at the nearest wall, and the metal wall quickly formed a concave the size of a washbasin under the 'brute force' of the priest.
In fact, when the priest carried out such an 'irrational act', the violent sound of hitting the wall could have woken up all living beings within three kilometers.
At least, that's what Yu Siqi thought.
However, when they looked at each other in the quiet hallway, Yu Siqi seemed to understand what Father An meant.
Truly... It's a little too quiet...
