Since the birth of human beings, there has been a natural fear of the night, and midnight is the time when the human mind is most vulnerable. Although there is no change in the night itself, the alternation of day and night is just a natural law that remains unchanged for eternity.

But historically, human beings have indeed had a very complex relationship with the night.

The night is often associated with a variety of fears, creating the feeling of a long night.

This is reflected in many myths, for example, in Greek mythology, the goddess of the night, Nyx, as a primordial god, represents the essence of night among several goddesses of the night, and the genealogy extended by him is simply terrifying.

Danadus, the god of death, Eris, the goddess of discord, Moros, Kar, the god of destruction, Kachia, the goddess of evil, and Eurynomas, the god of decay......

There is sorrow, sorrow, righteous retribution, and so on, and its descendants also give rise to the gods of painful labor, famine, strife, battle, and murder......

It can be said that in Greek mythology, night is almost the root of all evil.

And Nyx, as the embodiment and essence of the night, is himself one of the gods that even Zeus reveres.

After the Middle Ages, the negative image and concept of the night did not change much, especially in European society under the domination of Christianity, not only did it not improve, but it was more prominent that "the night has an evil nature".

After all, the devil always haunts under the cover of night, and the night belongs to the devil, and the devil is the enemy of God.

Witchcraft is another object of hatred in the Church, which was prevalent in the Middle Ages, and witchcraft also belonged to the night.

In this way, the fear of witch hunts and the chilling of ghosts in the late Middle Ages were ...... All of this has led them to think of night as synonymous with "devil" and "conspiracy", and even in modern English, night still has meanings such as "darkness", "sin", and "sorrow".

This perception did not begin to change until the rise of modern urbanization and the emergence of nightlife in cities. After all, when the night is no longer long and needs to be passed, it becomes the most lively time of the day.

- In order to enjoy this lifestyle, people naturally start waiting for nightfall.

Instead of being disgusting and frightening, the night is beginning to become a resource to be exploited.

The change of night occurred in the relationship with human beings, from the long-term embodiment of evil to the period when it became a necessary way of life in modern times, and the attitude of human beings towards the night has changed along with the development of economy and society.

From the 17th or 18th century to the 21st century. People today may still be afraid of the dark, but strictly speaking, it is completely different from the fear of the night that people held hundreds of years ago.

Perhaps, it is only when they suddenly fall from a high altitude in the midst of a nightmare that they can feel similar feelings, and they can realize that they still have a little memory of this horror left by their ancient ancestors.

Or, if they happen to be in the city of Tokyo tonight, and their own inspiration is relatively high, then they can also relive that ancestral memory in reality.

Mo Chen, as a god who also has many complex attributes-

Whether it was the "Night" and "Moon" that Qu Ling plundered from Shen Jiuye, or the "Sky", "Death" and other divinities that Mo Chen himself obtained, as well as other more and more complex attributes, they all belonged to him now.

- So if he really wants to make trouble, then making special effects is definitely not something that can be solved for five cents.

Tonight will surely make the highly inspired person be completely shocked, and then the liquid of emotion will flow.

……

……

The night grew darker and darker as time passed, and the stars and moon dimmed, gradually disappearing behind the clouds.

Perhaps it is because not many people in this era have the heart to care about the stars, and they don't even have time to look up at the sky, so they don't notice that the night is getting darker and darker.

After all, no matter how many dark clouds gather in the sky, in fact, it does have no impact on a city that never sleeps that is already brilliantly lit, full of lights, and light pollution is so serious that it makes people dazzle.

Many people don't even notice the clouds in the sky, and they don't notice how much the night is overcast.

It's just a gust of wind and a chill -

The breath of darkness began to emerge slowly in every dark corner of the city, in every secluded street, especially in places where the lights were dim or could not be found at all.

The darkness spreads, not to say that the light has been banished and the lights of the city have disappeared, although it is easy to do so and sacrifice the eternal night to the gods.

But the gods who dominate everything don't need this kind of inexplicable results, so they just become more powerful in the already dark places.

The breath of the night seems to come from ancient times, from the ancient worlds where myths run rampant on the earth, and they have reappeared on the land of this planet through the indescribable eternal years.

They didn't cause any real erosion or damage, they just seemed to make the dark place darker, and the dark aura was so thick that it seemed as if a black mist was rising.

However, in any case, this is an unnatural phenomenon, even if it is not directly aimed at humans, but as long as it exists, it will definitely have some kind of effect.

- After all, that's the right way to be at night.

I don't know how many people walk from the alleys they are used to......

When passing through a dark section of road with no street lights......

When walking a few floors through the staircase where the staircase light is broken......

The feeling they felt inexplicably was suddenly dramatically amplified and uncontrollably expanded.

Whether it is the office workers on their way home or the local residents going downstairs to buy packs of cigarettes, they are not immune to the effects of this ancient night, and they become troubled and uneasy, and become a little dazed and panicked.

This is the horror of darkness, and therefore a strong nostalgia for the light—the restlessness, fear, discouragement, and powerlessness of those who waited for the sun to rise in ancient times......

These are the memories and feelings of our ancient ancestors.

It's just that this inexplicable panic did not cause much commotion, as long as they quickened their pace and walked through the dark shadows and returned to the place where there was a light, this inexplicable panic would quickly subside.

And they are also unlikely to know that they are under the influence of a mysterious force, a special intervention in the mind and spirit.

I only feel that I am suspicious, and I am even annoyed that I am afraid of this situation-

Then subconsciously want to find a reason to explain it to yourself.

For example, if you have watched some horror movies, supernatural spirits, heard some urban legends and so on? Or wonder if you have been under pressure from study or work recently, and your mental state is not very good.

Anyway, I definitely don't feel that I have been affected by some mysterious aura, and it is a factor involved in the mysterious realm.

In addition, this kind of thing is not honorable to say, and it will only be laughed at, so even a group of people are panicked and uneasy, but they will also only pretend that nothing is in front of others.

Pretending to be yourself, and others are also pretending, you will naturally feel that this kind of thing is indeed only encountered by yourself, and others do not have this problem, and they will not find out what kind of group phenomenon this is.

Therefore, naturally, there will be no disturbances.

However, these are just the experiences and feelings of ordinary people, they don't have any special talents, they belong to the kind of people who can't even store mysterious powers in their bodies, let alone practice.

And except for the vast majority of these people, it is not that the rest of the people are all gifted with the ability to practice and master the mysterious power, but they are divided into two parts-

Only a small percentage of the rest of the people are really gifted, although they vary from high to low, but at worst they already have the talent to get started.

And most of them are in a very delicate intermediate world, they have no talent, it is difficult to grasp even a faint mystical power, but they just don't have spiritual talent.

But he has a high level of inspiration compared to ordinary people, and a certain spiritual talent......

Ordinary people do not have mystical powers, but they also cannot see certain "things", which can generally be regarded as non-existent to them...... So even if there is no coping strength, the problem is not big.

But the most terrible thing is the kind of person who also can't grasp the mysterious power, but can see those "things...... When they see those "things", those "things" often find them in reverse.

- When you look at the abyss, the abyss is watching you.

In the past, this was not much of a problem, and there were not so many ghosts in this era, especially in big cities.

Unless it is in the wilderness or deep in the dense forest, where no one usually visits, and if you find the steep valleys that even the beasts will avoid, and the dark river valleys washed out by the streams of unknown origin, it is possible to find evidence of the existence of those "things".

Therefore, they have the ability to see certain things, but they have not seen them before, so they don't know about this ability, and their lives will not be affected.

But now it is different, with the help of the spell ability of the shared "Shadow Walk" given by Mo Chen, no matter whether those things summoned from the underworld have relevant attributes or not, they can travel between darkness and shadow.

Add to that the number of them, and it's easy to do a carpet search of the entire city.

But because of this, their existence will inevitably be discovered by some highly inspired guys, no matter how careful they are, there is no point in acting, after all, the base is too large and there will always be mistakes.

And in this case, it's definitely not just a simple feeling of panic and inexplicable palpitations-

……

……

A high-rise commercial building.

Fourteenth floor.

Keita Takada was also able to get off work after ten o'clock tonight, but as a minister, he already had some preferential treatment and small privileges.

You know, when he packed up his things and walked out of the floor where the company was located, his subordinates were still desperately rushing to catch up with the project and working overtime, and it is estimated that it will be delayed until at least 12 o'clock in the morning today.

And it is expected that this state will have to be maintained for more than a week before the project can be completed, and then everyone can take a little rest.

Walking out of the floor to which the company belongs, Keita Takada doesn't need to look at it at all to know that this building is estimated to be only the floor of his own company with the lights on.

Or is this a social animal...... Keita Takada sneered in his heart, I don't know if it's aimed at himself or those who are still working overtime.

The crisp sound of leather shoes echoed in the long corridor, and he carried his briefcase, looking at the night view of the city outside the window, and he didn't know why he always felt that it seemed to be very dark outside tonight.

But the man didn't think much of it, he quickly withdrew his gaze and walked to the elevator.

When you come in the morning, a large number of people gather in front of the elevator door on the first floor, and it makes people feel upset when they look at it, but at this point in time, it is still down from the upper floor.

- It's basically empty, and there is not half a figure.

The man stood still in front of the elevator, stood straight, then reached out and pressed the button, waiting for the elevator to run.
