Chapter 93: A corpse
A misty sea in a "parallel world", Laxia Island. Inside a gorgeous castle made entirely of jadeite, Bernadette slowly opened her eyes.
The tall mysterious queen glanced at the semi-open room with the best view inside the castle she was in, nodded and said to herself:
"It seems that the world is not very different from reality."
This "Queen" Her Royal Highness is none other than Bernadette, the Overworld who has "crossed over", and she is here for the "Dark Card".
In one of her father's books, Bernadette discovers the clue to the "Dark Card" and knows that it is likely to be hidden by her father in a parallel low-dimensional world......
In the course of the bath at the beginning of the year, she once again "triggered" the mysterious space that resembled a theater, in which she "understood" that "time-traveler" was the name of a certain sequence, and then developed a new "mysterious reproduction" based on the content.
When she experimented with this new spell, she found that it would take her to "cross" multiple different worlds in a row, which could take a long time and could not be terminated after activation, so she had to send a letter to Gadelia before the first "crossing" was completed, so that she didn't have to worry, but she didn't even have to clean up the room.
"It's the ninth world...... I don't know if there is a 'sweet potato-eating traverser' mentioned by my father in this world,......
"There's nearly three weeks left for me to investigate...... Well, let's start with 'Abner, ...... Of all the people I know, he has the most varied personality and the most variety...... No matter how you look at it, he's suspicious."
Thinking of this, Bernadette summoned the "Dawn" of this world
Akiko, there is only the language of the word "human child".
What she didn't notice was that a "Wisdom Eye" was attached to her star spirit and stayed with her all the time.
In the "Scarlet Plains", Abner, who sensed this scene through his "discerning eyes", smiled meaningfully and thought to himself:
"In your eyes, you must think that I am using the merging effect of 'Bernadette's fellowship with you to find the world where you set up your rituals, under the guise of looking for the 'Blasphemy Card'?
"But it's a pity, it's just a 'pretense,...... "When the battle on the Southern Continent begins, you'll definitely think that I don't care about your plan anymore...... That's probably when you're most relaxed, and that's where my opportunity lies!"
In the land of God's forsakenness, Klein, who was "wandering" alone, had just walked out of a river valley according to the position given by the goddess, and saw a dead and silent city-state.
Most of the city-state's buildings have collapsed, and what remains has a pointed top, as if symbolizing the towers leading to heaven.
They have dark red vines growing on their surface, and they bear fruits that I don't know if I can eat or not.
Entering the city-state, Klein found a sarcophagus in front of each house, in which lay bones or freshly decomposed.
What they all have in common is that they are very deformed, some have four legs, some have cracked gaps in the center of their eyebrows, some lack skin, revealing flesh and blood, and some have arms wrapped around their necks like tails.
"This is the city-state that believes in immortal birds...... However, judging from some of the remaining idols, the city-state should have been converted to the 'Ancient Sun God,......
"What the goddess wants me to take is underneath the central temple."
Instead of rushing into the still-intact temple, Crane reached forward and pulled out his projection from a minute ago, allowing him to explore the path first.
Soon, several slanted stone pillars came into his view, and the dark red grass at the top grew out of their cracks, entwining the bird reliefs.
Carrying a kerosene lamp, Crane looked around and confirmed that the inhabitants of the city-state were not really dead, and that there were still a small number of survivors who had somehow transformed into monsters in the depths of the darkness, hiding from the dim light and surrounding the temple out of sight, trying to attack Crane, a normal-looking human.
-The reason why Crane was able to determine that those monsters were originally inhabitants of this city-state was because of it
Our "spirit threads" are somewhat distorted, gray, distorted, or partially adherent, completely different from the monsters in other places, closer to the feeling of the corpse in the sarcophagus.
I don't know what kind of despair and collapse made the remaining humans here choose such a path...... Perhaps the deepest despair is the daily lack of hope, and the situation around you is getting worse and worse...... In comparison, Silver City is already a "paradise"! Klein felt a little emotional.
Unlike the original book, he has never played a "game" with Amon, and he has never experienced the kind of encounter where hope appears again and again and reaps despair, and he doesn't want to experience it at all......
But that didn't stop him from feeling pity for the inhabitants here. After a careful search around the temple, Crane did not find the entrance to the basement.
"Do you want me to dig a hole in the ground with my bare hands?
"Probably not...... By the way, Abner once told me that the ancestor of the immortal bird, in addition to its own 'death, the path, also contains' the door, the uniqueness of the path.
"And the 'Mystic, the ability of the sequence, can hide part of the area, and divide it into two parts......
"In other words, you have to go through a specific 'door' to enter!
"But I'm not good at finding the 'door,......" Thinking of this, Crane pinched his chin and thought for a while, then reached forward and grabbed it a few times, pulling out the "0" level seal "Star Staff" from the "historical hole".
Immediately afterward, he sketched a picture of "Abner" in his mind.
-When holding the "Star Staff", if some extraordinary abilities or characters come to mind, the staff will reproduce the person with the corresponding ability, and the latter can activate the extraordinary ability once.
Of course, in order to achieve such an effect, it is a prerequisite to have a sufficient understanding of abilities and characters, otherwise there will be unexpected changes.
And Klein's reproduction of the recorded "Abner" is naturally asking him to use a "discernment".
Soon, a rather hidden fragment of floor tiles came into Crane's mind, which was obviously a secret door to the hidden space underground.
Seeing this, even if it was a projection itself, Klein did not rush in, but manipulated the monsters in the dark "secret puppets" to get into it.
Twenty or thirty seconds earlier, Crane had already taken control of them, completely transforming.
Through the vision shared by the monsters, Crane saw what was hidden in the "hidden space......
It turned out to be a human-like corpse with its skin covered in feathers.
