Chapter 25: Change
"That-"
Gokawa Shido stood in the open space in front of his house, staring blankly at the scenery in the distant sky that should have been the night sky.
ββ¦β¦ What the hell is it? β
Like everyone else around him, the look on his face said just how great the shock he was at the moment, and his mind was left blank.
And the phrase "just like everyone else around you" means that at this time in the open space around him, many people walked out of the house like him.
These people are all residents of this community, but whether they were sleeping or doing something else, they have now let go of any previous thoughts and walked out of the house.
Like Wuhe Shidao, they stood outside the door and looked up at the sky that had become abnormal, and then they all showed expressions of disbelief.
After a short time, the surrounding open space has become crowded, bustling and rubbing shoulders.
They were all stiff, staring blankly at the sky that suddenly turned into daylight, and the expressions on their faces were all extremely frightened.
And this is not just the case, but in the neighboring neighborhoods, in the city, in the country, in the hemisphere, and in the world.
People subconsciously resist accepting reality, hoping that they are wrong or simply dreaming, until the words that seem to pronounce fate resounded -
"Let me bring my people back to my kingdom. On that day of promise, I want you to return to your first life, to my throne in your original form......"
It was only a soft whisper, but it resounded throughout the world, penetrating deep into the soul and pounding on the hearts of all listeners within the planet.
For a moment, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were silent and everything was still, and everyone's face showed a confused and incredulous expression, and only this passage was left in their hearts to echo repeatedly.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
There was a dead silence in the black crowd, and the silence made the ominous atmosphere spread quickly, but this silence did not last long.
Soon, many people began to discuss the rationality of this phenomenon with the people around them, trying to find an acceptable reason from a scientific and rational point of view, or at least acceptable to themselves-
For example, what kind of mirage, what kind of collective hallucination, what kind of military weapons tests of great powers...... And so on and so forth, maybe they have never had such a rich imagination in their lives.
Although he didn't know the reason for it, and he didn't have the ability to explain this phenomenon with the laws of physics and the principles of technology, he still had the basic ability to distinguish between the five rivers.
After just listening to a few words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he only felt that these people might have lost their normal sanity and thinking ability under excessive fright.
Now that the night had turned into day, the burning stars in the sky exuded an eternal majesty, and a white horse and a vague figure could be seen in the deep and grand flames......
And the whispering voice that seemed to resound through the world just now, clearly emerging in everyone's mind.
How can these things, you tell me, be a mirage or some kind of mass hallucinogenic phenomenon?
So, these guys are complete nonsense.
Wuhe Shidao wanted not to listen to such meaningless remarks, but this kind of topic seemed to be extremely contagious, and it only took a few moments to spread around the crowd.
Because everyone looked ugly and frightened, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, as if it would cause greater panic at any moment.
Therefore, they desperately need a reassurance, whether it is or not, as long as they find an acceptable reason and someone agrees with their explanation, then they will feel a momentary peace of mind.
To put it simply, it's like when students come back to school at the end of the holidays and ask if everyone else has done their homework. Although it is said that no matter whether other people do their homework or not, there is no way to change the fact and outcome that they themselves did not do their homework.
But only when they have the support of others and know that someone is in the same situation as themselves will they feel at ease. That's the way it is.
The people around him were constantly whispering, and even if they didn't want to listen to those words, they would keep getting into their ears. Wuhe Shidao smiled bitterly, but did not say anything, it was obviously unwise to go against the masses at this time.
"Shidao ......"
The girl's voice sounded behind him, and the boy turned around to find that it was Toka who had changed out of her pajamas and walked out of the house. It's just that his sister Qinli didn't come out with him, but he wasn't surprised.
After all, this is an unusual and strange phenomenon, and if the Ratatoskr organization has no reaction to it, then it is better for them to disband it early, so as not to be embarrassed.
His sister Kotori, as the commander of the Ratatoskr organization, is estimated to have already set off for the air ship Fraxinus at this time and began to preside over the overall situation.
The Night Sword God Shika walked to the side of Gokawa Shido and looked up at the anomaly in the sky, and her excellent eyesight allowed her to capture the figure in the light that brought her an incomparable sense of oppression in an instant.
A majestic white horse with a huge flame burning on its body.
The figure with a vague figure is a truly divine existence, and in the past life of the Night Sword God Shika, he has never encountered such a terrifying thing!
"What's wrong, Shika?"
Wuhe Shidao was a little worried and asked with concern, he really hadn't seen such an expression on the face of an elf girl.
"I don't know ...... either" Night Sword God Shika's voice was a little muffled, she lowered her head in distress and rubbed her eyes, "I always feel, I always feel...... It seems to have a very bad feeling. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"There's no problem, it's probably because of the daytime that you think too much."
Feeling bad? Wuhe Shidao let out an inexplicable "pop" in his heart, but he didn't show anything, just comforted the other party after thinking about it.
Before the elf girl could answer, the next moment reality slapped him in the face-
"Wait, wait! What's thatββ!! β
Someone suddenly screamed not far away, and the sky suddenly became a little brighter, which also made Wuhe Shidao's heart beat heavily.
He suddenly looked up and looked again, only to see a white light overflowing from a corner of the sky, and huge pillars of light fell from the sky dome at least a million meters away, so that it could be clearly seen on the other side of the continent.
One of the pillars of light pierced through the heavens and the earth, obviously falling from the middle of the two people's heads.
It rushed straight towards the Night Sword God Toka.
"Ten incense! Dangerous! With a "buzz" in his head, Wuhe Shidao flew directly to the girl beside him almost instinctively, wanting to knock the other party away to avoid the pillar of light that fell with lightning speed.
However, it was useless, as if he had hit a flexible protective film, and his whole body was solidly bounced out and fell to the ground.
"Shidao! Shidao! β¦β¦β
But the night sword god Shika was at a loss, and she was suddenly enveloped by a pillar of light, and the irresistible power made her unable to do anything except scream.
What's more, her spiritual power has been sealed at the moment, although she is an elf, she has temporarily lost the attributes and abilities of an elf, basically no different from ordinary people.
Damn it! What's going on!!
Struggling to get up from the ground, ignoring the panicked retreating crowd around him, Wuhe Shido gritted his teeth tightly, and without any hesitation, he slammed his body into it again......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Time: Fifteen minutes later.
Location: Stronghold of the activities of the Ratatoskr organization, inside the air ship Fraxinus.
"No problem, right? There's really no problem, right? How can this be-" Wuhe Shidao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he was spinning around in the cab, "Shika is like this, and so is Qinli......"
The captain's seat was empty, and instead of sitting in her chair as usual, Koto Gokawa was in a coma and being examined in the infirmary along with the night sword god Toka.
It is said that fifteen minutes ago, the pillars of light pierced the heavens and the earth from outside the atmosphere, and when they shot down, the five rivers were like the ten incense of the night sword god, and they were also assigned to a pillar of light.
So of course, they are the same as the night sword god Shika, and they passed out directly, and they are still unconscious.
This is something that Wuhe Shidao did not expect at all, who would have thought that the nature of those pillars of light was so strange, even in the interior of the air ship Fraxinus, there was no way to stop it, and all material obstacles seemed to exist before they came into contact with the main master.
The bulkhead of the air ship Fraxinus could not block the phantom-like pillar of light at all, but as soon as it was irradiated into the Gokawa Koto, there was an absolute change in nature.
But fortunately, Gokawa Kotori is only the commander, and the Ratatoskr organization has a complete and independent operation system, so for the time being, there is only one less person who can make up ideas, instead of leaving everyone without a master.
Otherwise, Gokawa Shido would not be here.
But it's useless, Wuhe Shidao only feels that his mind is full of all kinds of flustered emotions and thoughts, but he can't calm down, if he doesn't know that his sister and Shika have just fallen asleep, he will probably be even more anxious.
What the hell is going on, and why are Toka and Kotori ...... What do they have in common?
Are they all girls?
No, there are enough girls in the world. But what else do you have in common?,Ten incense is an elf should be the most obvious problem.,But his sister Kotori is just a human!
"Please calm down, Mr. Shido, this is not a time to solve the problem......
The handsome Shen Wuyue who didn't look like a native came over, and at this time he restrained his perverted gentlemanly nature and took on the task of deputy commander well, "We need to - face reality. β
As his voice fell, Wuhe Shido subconsciously looked up, only to see a new picture appear on the huge screen in the center of the bridge, which was undoubtedly a scene in the sky.
A halo of light was created around the dazzling star, like a solar halo, but it was like the surrounding space like the surface of the water, spreading out in circles towards the end of the void.
Judging from the magnification operation of the frames captured by the high-precision detection instrument, the essence of the expanding light wheel is composed of a variety of luminous lines, each of which is like the condensation of the light of various complex and strange symbols.
Magic Circle?
Gokawa Shido felt a chill, and he subconsciously thought of this setting, which often appears in anime or games.
The patterns on the picture are still changing, and after more than ten seconds of technical analysis that Wuhe Shidao does not understand, they are constantly enlarged, reduced, and reconstituted, and finally a partial panoramic thumbnail is appearedββ
It was a huge array with intricate runes and patterns, which looked like the roots of a tree in shape, and at the lower end were many branches, and the limit of each branch was the eye.
Each bifurcation points upwards to form a trunk, and in the center of the trunk is a large circle......
