Mannie, who had a little more at ease, took the camera to the intersection, where there was a huge flower garden, like a small park.

Quiet morning, quiet in the sunlit flower beds.

Mannie sat down by the pool in the center of the flower garden, then turned on the camera and began to view the replay.

At first, everything was normal, and there was no sound in the town at night except for the rumbling equipment, so Mannie adjusted the playback to 1.5x.

It was fast to midnight, and it seemed to be windy, as Mannie saw the tent move slightly, but it quickly subsided again.

And just as Mannie was about to slow down and take a closer look, a strange scene appeared.

"Huh?!" Mannie, believing that she had misunderstood, pauses the footage, rewinds it for 10 seconds, and then plays it back at normal speed.

This time, Mannie watched it carefully, but at 1:11:27 a.m., an internal combustion engine that had been converted into a generator on the left side of the tent disappeared in an instant.

"This ......" Mannie's heart began to beat faster, she looked up and looked around, the town was quiet, nothing unusual, but under this silence Mannie smelled horror.

Rubbing her eyes, Mannie continued to look down, but within a few seconds, the image began to rise rapidly, and then only heard a click, and the camera fell to the ground, and the camera was upward, facing the gray sky.

But why did it fall? Was it windy last night? Or is it ...... Did "it" deliberately push the camera down?

Mannie didn't dare to think about it anymore, she looked up again, everything was as it was, there was no danger.

After taking a deep breath, Mannie could only secretly cheer herself up and continue to look down.

But she didn't know what she was expecting...... Maybe it's the expectation that the camera will record some unusual sounds...... Or...... It is the desire to see the shadow of "it".

However, until 4:30 a.m., the footage is gray, starless and unusual.

Mannie felt a little disappointed, but she ignored the anomaly of the sky itself...... Because before she fell asleep, the starry sky was bright.

After 4:30 a.m., some strange crackling sounds appeared, and after careful identification for a while, Mannie was sure that it was the sound of a burning fire, and it seemed that the fire at the beginning was small and had not yet spread.

At around 6:11, the fire was noticeably bigger, and it wasn't long before Mannie appeared on camera, seeing herself hurrying by, and then returning with a fire extinguisher to start putting out the fire......

……

With 9% of the battery still charged, Mannie turned off the camera, and sat blankly in the flower garden in the center of the intersection, guessing all kinds of possibilities.

But except for the weird and the real, everything else is obscured in a deliberate concealment.

Mannie is sure she won't wake up here for no reason, but she finds herself in a barren and mysterious world.

After sitting like this for a long time, Mannie sighed, sorted out her mood, and said to herself, "Well...... Anyway, it's still a bit rewarding! ”

With that, Mannie got up and walked towards the spot where the fire had broken out last night.

Looking at the still smoking ruins, the burned machinery and equipment, Mannie traced the location of the device that had disappeared from the camera.

The ground nails on the ground that were used to hold the tent in place were still there, but the "generator" that had been placed behind the tent last night was completely gone, leaving only an empty space on the ground, as if it had been teleported away.

Right! Transmission!

Mannie soon realized that this was possible.

If the understanding of space during the Earth period was limited by the level of science, but Mannie was not an earthling, she was born as an engineer at the forefront of human civilization on Gaia, and the concept of space teleportation was not unfamiliar to her.

Although the technology of over-distance phase hopping has not yet been realized, it is still possible to "grab" such a large object and teleport it somewhere within a certain distance.

Thinking of this, Mannie's mood was much more relaxed.

But is it really as Manny thinks, that there is a force that is secretly playing the little game of "teleportation"?

To confirm this, Mannie made a rough volume measurement of the vanished "generator", and then calculated the limit of how much the "generator" could be teleported in combination with the weight of the same type of machine.

'1,900 meters...... Just two blocks down the town'...... Mannie determined the area, and began to search the surrounding area with her handmade improvised torque blaster.

This electric moment explosive device is different from the impression of electric shock device, because it is an instantaneous burst of attack weapon, which will fire an electric arc at a certain range of enemies in a very short time, and create a chain reaction, with extremely high lethality.

Of course, Mannie's handmade improvised torque blaster is nowhere near as powerful as a real military model, but it is still enough for self-defense.

With it to embolden her, Mannie's search process was relatively easy.

But over the next two days, Mannie's ease gradually became more and more solemn.

……

Day 5

It was another familiar morning, the sun was shining on the hour, and Mannie, who had not slept all night, moved her body, pushed open the door and continued to search the area.

This time, however, her pace slowed down significantly, and her mind was muddy, and the scene she had seen in the waterlogged villa last night kept coming back to her.

……

11:03 p.m. the night before.

Coming to a villa in the southeast corner, she pushed open the hidden door, and as soon as she entered the room, Mannie was shocked by the scene in front of her.

I saw a radial white trace in the center of the main hall of the villa spreading in all directions, almost covering the entire main hall.

Cautiously approaching the trace, and after looking down, Mannie was sure that there had been a strange explosion in the villa, which did not cause a fire, but also eroded the original contents of the main hall, leaving only the chandelier and the fresco on the ceiling.

After taking a closer look at the murals with the lights on, Mannie felt strange......

Because it is clear that the things depicted on the frescoes are not uniform, some of them are more Nordic, depicting a battle between a man and a giant, and the other part is a bit of a central curtain, next to the pale old tree, the man shrouded in golden light sits under the tree with his eyes closed, and the people around him, on one side holding a sword with a fierce face, as if to kill him, and on the other side he kneels on the ground, as if in repentance or gratitude.

Finally, around the chandelier, the mural is distinctly black and white, with a group of people drowning in a sea of black on the left, and a group of naked people in the light on the other side, surrounded by a masked man like a moon.

What are they......

The more Manny looked, the more frightened she became, and the more she watched, the more confused she became...... If the owner of this villa wants to convey anything through these murals, it is too messy......

After looking at it for a while, Mannie took a picture and continued deeper into the villa.

Bypassing the main hall, the first floor is left with only a study, a dining room, a room for which I don't know what to do, and an underground warehouse entrance that is chained and locked.

It was also the first time Mannie had found a place in the town that was so tightly locked.

So Mannie's curiosity was instantly raised, but thinking of the things she saw in the main hall, Mannie felt that sometimes it was better to restrain her curiosity, after all, she also knew that her strength was limited, and she had to die to a certain extent.

But if you don't open it, it's not a normal person's style after all, so Mannie hesitated for a while and decided to open the lock first.

However, in the process of unlocking, Mannie encountered some minor troubles, that is, except for the crowbar and some wrenches found in the mall at the beginning, there were no handy tools around, and Mannie was sweating in a hurry, and finally failed to break the chain.

In the silent night, in the empty villa, Mannie felt that she was really getting bolder.

Thinking of this, Mannie stopped and decided to continue during the day.

After a short break, I saw that the time had come to more than 1 o'clock in the morning.

This was the time of the strange scene of last night, and for safety reasons, Mannie decided to move on after that.

So Mannie sat down in the study next to the warehouse.

As a result, as soon as she sat down, Mannie suddenly noticed that something seemed to flicker in the gap in the cabinet opposite her desk.

This notice immediately alarmed Mannie, who slowly got up and then sat down slowly.

And then the thing flashed again.

'Looks like it's a matter of angle...... Thinking of this, Mannie looked back at the empty study, the cabinet behind her was empty, and there was not a single book on the table, but Mannie always felt like there was something behind her.

So Mannie got up and looked at the bookcase behind her.

The bookcase was so high that it reached the roof, the door was unlocked, and when it was opened, there was nothing but dust flying.

I tried to push the cabinet back and forth, but the cabinet didn't move, and it didn't seem to have any mechanism.

But the flash made Mannie think that this room was not that simple.

So then, Mannie turned on the switch of the torque generator, and then cautiously came to the cabinet opposite the desk, first looked carefully along the gap, and after making sure that nothing was found, she came to the side of the cabinet and pushed hard.

With a click, the cabinet moved, and the next move didn't require Mannie's strength, and it moved about half a meter to the other side.

Then, as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered, a flash of light emanated from the cabinet was emitted right on the globe on the desk.

Then the globe was lit up, and the scattered light instantly filled the entire study, and those hidden pasts slowly appeared in front of Mannie's eyes.
