Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Door of Truth with the Wrong Painting Style
The moment Liadrin's hand touched the key, that is, the moment when Wang Cheng and Liadlin pinched the key at the same time.
Very suddenly, Wang Cheng felt as if he was sitting on a high-speed roller coaster, his whole body moving at high speed, but he felt that he was standing in place without change.
The entire field of vision was a blank of light.
It seemed like a moment had passed, and it seemed like a long time had passed. Wang Cheng's vision seemed to have pierced through the layer of white light, and when he returned again, he found himself standing in front of a towering white tree-like luminous body, the bottom of which was covered with nine feather-like floating objects, and the trunk in the middle was densely growing outward, and the branches were constantly wriggling, and they were covered with incomprehensible words or patterns. It is obvious that the object is alive.
The silver key that had been pinched on his finger was missing.
Because the white light was too bright, and there were too many and too many dense branches on the luminous body, Wang Cheng wanted to look up hard to see what the top of the object was like.
But the distance that the human eye can see is really limited, no matter how Wang Cheng looks, he can only see countless white tentacles like branches growing densely together, countless white tentacles mixed together to form a cloud of white light, and there is no way to judge how tall this tree-like luminous body in front of him is.
It didn't take a second to think, Wang Cheng could judge that the thing in front of him was definitely not something to be messed with, whether it was friendly or not, and it was not something that he could deal with now.
"What the hell is this, where am I?" Wang Cheng looked around, there was silence and emptiness, he seemed to be floating in a universe without planets around him, silent but not dark.
"I can breathe, it's smooth, there is no other smell in the air, I just don't know if I can smoke?" Wang Cheng touched his pocket and touched the cigarette and lighter that he had already smoked halfway before.
Wang Cheng wanted to test it, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it.
Wang Cheng has not read some fantasy novels and film and television works before, and now his place and state are very reminiscent of some well-known anime or movies about the "Gate of Truth".
Wang Cheng is not a research party, and he generally has an impression of this kind of background setting and the like.
Because many times, the author generally just gives a yes or no setting without explanation, if you dig deeper, either you don't know what the author wants to express at all, or you are kidnapped by your own imagination, in fact, the author doesn't think about it so much.
At least as far as Wang Cheng knows, just like Sun Yuchen recommended several excellent animations to him before, without exception, there is a phenomenon of over-interpretation.
In his eyes, although the concept of the door of truth is different in various film and television works, it should be the same as it represents knowledge that human beings cannot yet understand. That is, the Gate of Truth is only the embodiment of an unknown truth that human beings want to explore.
However, Wang Cheng's eyes are slightly different, first of all, although it is very similar to the door of truth in film and television works, but there is no door at all, in addition, Wang Cheng remembers that the tree above the door of truth should be a tree of life called "Kabbalah", although there are branches on the tree, but the number of branches should be in single digits, even if you really don't remember how many branches there are, you can judge that it is absolutely impossible to cover the trunk of the tree of life similar to the dense virus-like branches in front of you.
Therefore, even though the object in front of him, which was tentatively named "The Gate of Truth", glowed with white light, Wang Cheng still felt very disgusted.
"You have to put your mind in order. ”
Wang Cheng hasn't moved a step since he appeared here, which is the instinctive caution of human beings. I remember that I wanted to give the silver key to Liadlin for safekeeping, because it was too dangerous to keep it in my own hands.
This is just a very normal judgment, since the great knight who called himself Alexander didn't care to take the key now, or he was happy to throw this hot potato to Wang Cheng, then Wang Cheng had to find a way to unlock the secret of this key, which was not only related to Liadrin's life, but also related to his own life.
Because according to Benedictas, the impact of keys on life is negative, and the way of influence is direct contact, that is, carried on the body.
The difference between different people and their bodies is basically just the length of time they die, and the moment you touch the key, you will be affected, the difference is that the longer you wear, the greater the impact.
The maximum is one year for men and five years for women.
Even if Wang Cheng is really talented, that is, he only has one year to find the truth about the secret of cracking the key. Placing the key on Liadrin, on the other hand, would extend the time to at least three years. Because Liadline has kept the key for two years.
And according to the Grand Knight Captain Alexander, Liadline was a rare vessel. It is inevitable that Liadrin, who would be praised for this kind of existence, could not last only five years, and theoretically should be infinitely close to the recorded ten years or more.
If Liadline is allowed to return to the church, then he will always worry about whether he will die suddenly the next day, which Wang Cheng can't accept at all.
So finally negotiating with Alexander, leaving Liadline and the key behind was the best option Wang Cheng could think of.
The strangest thing is that the great knight commander Alexander agreed directly without hesitation.
"I must have secrets in me that I haven't discovered yet. Wang Cheng lit a cigarette, it doesn't matter that the environment he is in is really mysterious, if someone runs out and tells Wang Cheng that smoking is not allowed here, then this is what Wang Cheng is very happy to see.
And it is obvious that the stimulation of this subtle flavor does not trigger the reactions around it, including the "Gate of Truth" with a very different painting style.
However, after Wang Cheng lit the second cigarette, no one came out, and no matter how the painting style in front of him was different from the normal Gate of Truth, there was no change.
It seems that more direct and violent stimulation is necessary.
Things have developed to the present, since Wang Cheng first saw the mysterious sign in the express warehouse, the painting style of this world has changed.
At least so far, I'm still the same as before, a bit of a smart unemployed vagrant, who loves to play games and has a good time with life. If the days go by, then it makes no difference whether you drink soy milk or coffee in the morning.
Even if he knew Ouyang Chaonan, who had a lot of money, he didn't know how to make some money, and he didn't think about using his connections to do anything when he knew Sun Yuchen, who was working in a state department.
Wang Cheng is completely messing around.
But since the death of the master, things have been completely different, why did I encounter so many inexplicable things, and if I didn't have a golden finger or something, I guess I would soon be on the street. Or judging by the unknown objects seen in front of you, it is not known whether the corpse can be left behind.
After forcibly calming down and thinking about it so much, Wang Cheng only then began to think about another question.
What about Liadrin?
He came here the moment he came into contact with Liadrin, and he felt that Liadline was also coming with him, but there was no Liadlin around him.
After all, men's sixth sense has never been accurate, and he is not a saint warrior and has a seventh sense. Maybe Liadline is still in the same place, and she is the only one who has disappeared.
Sun Yuchen will definitely wait for me to go back without moving, but this waiting is time-limited, Wang Cheng can judge that after more than 24 hours, Sun Yuchen will leave with the others first, and he doesn't know when he will be able to go back.
Why don't you try touching the tree of life that doesn't work in the right style?
But this is definitely a rather deadly act, Wang Cheng decided to wait a while, maybe there is a delay in the server, maybe after a while Liadlin will appear, although she doesn't have any reliable skills, but after all, Liadlin is a person who comes out of the Holy See who specializes in spiritual secrets, maybe she knows something.
