Chapter 313: The Door of the Stars Opens
"Boss, are we going to wait here?"
"Yes, we have walked so hard to come to the City of Stars, we have to go in and have a look."
"It's a rare experience......"
"We'll listen to you honestly, and we won't make trouble, okay?"
The people under him seemed to be very dissatisfied, and before opening the gate of the City of Stars, they were sent by Dong Bin to camp far away, and they protested in front of Dong Bin one after another.
Dong Bin had a headache, he knew very well that on the one hand, these people were really interested in the "City of Stars" that existed in the legends of the Arctic, and on the other hand, they ...... They're scared. Yesterday's mutilated nightmares born of fear really scared them, and in their hearts, it was obviously much safer to be with transcendent beings like themselves than to be in the company of ordinary people.
However, Dong Bin knew it even more - if these ordinary people directly entered the City of Stars, then they probably didn't even know how they died.
Judging from Edith's description, the danger of the City of Stars is even greater than that of the dock capital dominated by Xiao Lian two years ago, and even those who break the rules like themselves will face the threat of death, not to mention them!
"Calm down, listen to me," Dong Bin raised his hand to signal people to be quiet, "It's safe here, those supernatural forces will be controlled by us in the city, the only thing here that can get typhoid fever is the wandering polar bear, but you should be very good at dealing with polar bears." ”
"But ......" Someone else wanted to say something, but Dong Bin raised his hand and interrupted him.
"The danger of the City of Stars is beyond your imagination, and some existences, even just looking at them, can wipe out the souls of mortals. I can't take you in right now, but...... After the event is over, it is not impossible for you to visit it if you have the chance. ”
It took a lot of effort for Dong Bin to finally convince everyone to stay here honestly.
But this still seems to be a bit insufficient...... Dong Bin thought about it, grabbed the beard that was temporarily the leader, and walked aside.
"What's wrong with the little brother? Is there anything else you would like to entrust? He asked with a smile.
"What's your passerby number?" Dong Bin asked directly.
The bearded smile froze on his face.
"You're hiding it well, I really haven't found any loopholes...... But Qi Rui is different, he is the oldest group of passers-by like Lamp Shadow Lu Shan, and he can still discover some traits in you. Dong Bin gradually accelerated his speech, "I don't want to fight with you now, can I make it clear directly?" ”
The beard was silent for a few seconds: "Passerby B, I can passively erase anyone's hostility towards me to a certain extent...... It's a waste of wood for combat, but it's good for lurking. ”
"No wonder your affinity is scary...... Dong Bin nodded, as he guessed, such a passer-by with human feelings must be a member of the Einsatzgruppen with an alphabetical number, "I didn't expect that the Lamp Shadow family still attaches great importance to the Typhon family, and there are actually two passers-by, one bright and one dark, lurking in Icefield Town." ”
"I don't know exactly what's in the City of Stars, but the family seems to hate that existence." Passerby B said helplessly.
"You see the seriousness of the matter
In the matter of preventing the evil spirit in the 'astrolabe system' from descending, our interests should be the same. Dong Bin patted him on the shoulder, "Before I leave this glacier, I can still treat you as a friend." I lied just now, and I can't guarantee that the abilities that overflowed from the astrolabe won't create a similar mutilated nightmare to attack these people again, so...... I hope that if that happens again, you can use your power to protect these people, they helped me, and they are innocent of it. ”
"Yes, that's fine." Passerby B agreed, "But do you really refuse to let me go to the city to fight together?" ”
"Nope." Dong Bin said categorically, "First of all, these people do need protection; Secondly...... While I basically believe you, ...... Having a passerby from the Light Shadow Family standing behind me during a battle was still too exciting for me. ”
"Oh, I understand." For Passerby B, this was the expected answer, "So how long do we have to wait?" ”
"Three days, wait for us for three days." Dong Bin simply turned around and announced loudly to everyone, "If the matter can be resolved, we will definitely come back to you within three days, but if we don't come back within three days...... Immediately return to Vlad, the Crimson Capital, and find anyone with the surname Ampeseta and tell him what is happening here...... They will be very generous and pay you well. ”
……
The stars twinkle in the sky and fill the night sky, like a curtain that envelops the whole world.
At this location, in a climate where the blizzard had just stopped, seeing such a clear starry sky would have been impossible.
"This is not the function of the astrolabe, but the enchantment that has been strengthened for hundreds of years within the family, in this field, as long as it is not too bad weather, you can clearly see the starry sky." Edith held out her hand to the sky in fascination, "Starry sky, this is what the Typhon family has worshipped for thousands of years...... Although, we have never known where this almost pathological worship comes from. ”
"The power of the Typhon family is indeed not to be underestimated." Qi Rui's spiritual power tentacles extended to the surroundings and looked carefully, "Such an enchantment, even I will find it difficult to destroy...... Presumably, we've come to the gates of the City of Stars, but we can't see it? ”
Edie nodded without any surprise: "Yes, you really deserve to be an exception breaker at your father's level, and it is not difficult for you to see this." ”
"Let's get started, I've told my men to find a place a little farther away and wait for us for three days, and it should be bad for them." Dong Bin didn't mention the true identity of the beard alone, and that matter is not very important now.
Edith slowly closed her eyes, and held the piece of metal that reflected the starry sky in both hands, and the glowworm-like light flickered beside her, and the starry fluorescence made the girl's entire body begin to be illusory.
Some jerky and difficult language is recited by the girl, it is the sound of some organ that does not look like a human being at all, the voice is ancient and vicissitudes, as if some unknown creature borrowed the girl's body to sing the praises of a lost history.
Glittering mist rises up in the ice sheet and emerges from the mist
What is now is a myriad of huge disks made of unknown metal materials, and a series of cone-shaped towers that rise at the junction of the discs, countless dense patterns suspended above the entire astrolabe system.
"This is the City of Stars." Edith muttered softly, "Based on the 'astrolabe system' left over from previous civilizations, we built those towers ourselves as our living place - and at the same time the node that unifies the computing power of the astrolabe. ”
"Using the stars as a mirror and supernatural forces as a medium, we collect the flow of information from all over the world, and through extremely efficient calculations, deduce what is most likely to happen next." Edie made no secret of the roots of the Typhon family's ability to "see the future", "But even so, our use of the 'astrolabe system' is only scratching the surface. ”
"Maybe...... Qi Rui, can you perceive anything? Dong Bin turned his head and asked.
Qi Rui knelt on one knee, gently brushed the earth with his hand, and stared intently at the astrolabe made of unknown metal material: "I can feel it...... Pulse...... It's a living ......."
Everyone shuddered.
"Alright...... Don't say it again, my heart is empty...... Dong Bin shuddered, "Edith, why didn't you see the people of your family?" Do you all stay in those towers...... Edith! What happened to you? Don't scare me! ”
"I ...... It's okay......" Edith felt a little dizzy and seemed to have some liquid running down her face, and she forced a smile. Stretched out her hand and wiped her face, her hands were stained red with blood flowing from her eyes and nose, and the girl froze for a moment, and her body fell straight down.
"Damn, what's wrong with you?" Dong Bin hugged Edith, who was almost down, and was a little confused.
"I ...... It's okay, the cost of opening the door is a bit big......" Edith pushed off with difficulty, and the blood that came out of her eye socket stained the world in her eyes blood-red.
"You're a bit expensive? I don't think House Typhon would have to sacrifice a family member once they opened the door! What the hell is wrong with you? Isn't it...... That thing is still eating away at you? Dong Bin held the girl's shoulders and let her sit on the ground slowly.
"I ...... It's okay...... Ahem......" Edith tried to plead a few words, but more blood foamed out along with the cough.
"Don't be pushy! Qirui! What the hell is wrong with this girl? Dong Bin turned his head and asked loudly.
Qi Rui stepped in front of the girl, brushed away the hair on the girl's forehead, and pressed his palm up. In an instant, the piercing sound like the screaming of an evil spirit exploded instantly, rubbing everyone's eardrums, but the next moment it was annihilated, and everything returned to silence.
"It's basically solved." Qi Rui said calmly, "Indeed, that power has been infiltrating and destroying her body. But fortunately, the energy of the imprint left by that evil spirit in everyone's spiritual world is limited, and I can barely handle it. ”
"Really," Dong Bin looked at Edith, whose face had improved significantly, and sighed, "You are really too strong...... Isn't it just that if you tell the truth, we know that your physical condition is bad, and we won't let you act together? Forget it, since you have to come along, then I'll carry you. ”
was told by Dong Bin, Edith lowered her head: "Thank you...... I really have to see what happened to my family......"
