Chapter 46: The Darkest Hour

The person in charge who pushed the door open was wearing a military uniform, and his eyebrows on his not very outstanding face were particularly upright and upright.

The black hair mixed with white looked a little grayish, which made him look much older.

"Team Yan, did you find anything on a trip to the enchantment?"

"Some ideas." Yan Wan nodded, "I suspect that the earthquake has something to do with the ritual of the enchantment. ”

"Have you ever inspected the foundations of the earth after the earthquake?"

The person in charge nodded: "I have checked, but because of the collapse of the building caused by the earthquake and a series of problems, there is not enough manpower, so I only carefully inspected the ground and roughly ruled out the underground."

"I know, I'll check it out again, and tell me if there's anything to do."

"Okay."

Yan Wan nodded goodbye to the person in charge, and neatly set off to check if there were any traces of the ritual underground.

Time was tight, and she didn't know when the cultists would come, and when help would come.

According to the mission news she got before she left, only the news of the earthquake here was received outside, and after being surrounded by the barrier, the contact was cut off.

In this case, you can only rely on yourself.

Yan Wan led the others to dig three feet into the ground and carefully explore the underground of the city.

But they got nothing.

I just had to dig up the whole piece of land, turn it over and look at it, and scan it with the instrument more than once.

But he didn't find even a single spiritual energy fluctuation, it was just a poor land.

Yan Wan realized that something was wrong, and so did the others.

"With such a large barrier, the mere ritual of its existence will continue to erode other objects."

Zhuang Lianqing squatted down as he spoke, picked up a handful of soil, gently rubbed the dry yellow sand with his fingertips, and studied it very seriously: "But the land has no traces of erosion, and it is very clean."

"It's like ......"

Yan Wan, who had been looking up at the sky, connected: "It's like being sucked away by something."

"Speaking of which, the other buildings on the ground have not been eroded, but the sky."

The enchantment on his head was constantly exuding turbid spiritual energy that was eroding people's hearts, so large that it had already affected the celestial phenomena.

There was no sunlight in the dark sky, and the whole was gray, a deep shade of gray.

The storm is coming.

The heroic woman with a high ponytail who had been silent next to her, Xiang Qian suddenly looked excited, as if she had thought of something, and couldn't wait to say, "Team Yan!" Could it be that the Reversal Ritual was used to transfer the ritual body to the sky? ”

Yan Wan blinked, and after reacting, he turned his head and met the gaze of Zhuang Lianqing, who stood up violently.

His face was full of realization.

"That's right!"

Yan Wan happily patted Xiang Qian's shoulder, she was a little too tall, and the whole person could block Yan Wan, but her eyes were bright, like a loyal big dog.

"Xiang Qian, you are so smart! Very good, worthy of you! A great credit to you! I'll give you a promotion when you go back! ”

"A large part of it is due to the reminder of the Yan team, and it is not all my credit." Xiang Qian's hand touched Yan's hand on her shoulder, and said sincerely.

"Don't be polite, let's go." Zhuang Lianqing, who was standing with his arms crossed, urged impatiently in front of him, his eyes fell on the hands of the two of them, and he snorted softly.

Yan Wan recalled the rest of the team and set off to inspect the heavens again.

The cloudy and thick psionic energy was almost solid, and it looked like it was going to rain down.

The value of the instrument used for detection soars, and after reaching the highest, it does not move, and nothing can be detected at all.

This is true of instruments, and it is even more impossible with people.

As soon as you get closer, you feel like you're going to be polluted by erosion, not to mention the spirit of investigating the patterns and rituals that may be hidden in them.

Looking at the sky, Yan Wan was a little annoyed.

"Don't you have Roselle?" Zhuang Lianqing reminded.

“……”

Yan Wan frowned and recalled, as before, all the information he said about Luo Shen emerged.

Roselle is the scepter in his hand.

[Roselle: ◆◆ Legacy, the integration of the great ritual of composite creatures, with functions such as divination and purification. 】

[The divination function requires water, the more the better, preferably a lake.] 】

"Okay, I'll try."

After finding the largest lake nearby, he rushed to it as fast as he could, but even so, the sky was about to completely darken.

"It's 5 p.m."

Yan Wan glanced at his watch casually, it was winter, and it was dark early, not to mention that there was a layer of obstruction blocking the sun in the sky.

Now it's black and close to a cage.

There are no waves on the lake, and the birds have flown away, because the stinginess of the wind does not even shake the branches.

Instinctively, Yan Wan knew what to do.

The scepter floated in the blue light at the top, on the open palm.

She felt something in her body being pumped out, and with this emptiness, her perception of the outside world gradually became strange.

It's like going from the first person to the third person, the original clear perception becomes dull, and I watch everything that happens like watching a movie.

Yan Wan raised his legs and walked towards the lake step by step.

When she stepped on the water, it was as if she were on land, and she stood on it.

It was dark and blurry.

Only the lake under your feet is like a mirror, clearly reflecting everything.

The cloudy colors of the sky become crystal clear when reflected in the lake, and a complex pattern of interlaced patterns emerges in the blue.

It was the structure of the enchantment ritual, and Yan Wan watched it carefully, remembering it firmly.

At the end of the lines, they converge into a mess, and the surface of the lake becomes blurred in the light, gradually becoming a messy mass of colors.

A distorted and distorted sound came out.

"When the men and animals of the Security Bureau come over with the Mirror of a Thousand Waters and fill the last vacancy, the darkest moment will come, and the grand sacrifice ceremony will begin soon."

"The great God will come on the highest."

Even if it was a distorted voice that couldn't hear the sound quality, Yan Wan could still hear how crazy the joyful and trembling tail of the voice owner was.

When she withdrew from the divination, the pain that was so insolent that it was close to tearing her ran wildly in her mind, a side effect of the divination.

But she gritted her teeth.

Piecing together the shattered reason, he reluctantly pieced together the formed sentences and put them into words.

Just for that darkest moment.

It's almost dark, and the Mirror of a Thousand Waters has arrived, and it's going to be completely dark.

Isn't it the so-called darkest hour?

"With ...... I'll go... The highest place in the city. ”
