"Eclipse of the Night...... What's that?"

The cupboard was smashed by Uesugi Yue, and the things inside fell to the ground in an uproar, Gu Bei didn't pick it, picked up a bottle of sake from the ground that had not been broken, and poured himself a glass after opening it.

Uesugi glanced at it, "Joe 100,000 yen."

Gu Beihao couldn't squirt out, put it in his mouth and thought about it, and felt that it would be a loss if he squirted out, so he swallowed helplessly: "What kind of broken wine, you dare to charge me 100,000 yen!?"

"Dream Sparrow, you have a good eye, and it is the most valuable of the pile of wine on the ground." As he spoke, Uesugi picked up a cup and poured it for himself, "Even I don't want to drink it, so I keep it."

Gu Bei glared at him, "You drank it yourself, can't you let me spend money."

"It's not fun for you to drink too much yourself." Uesugi touched Gu Bei's cup to himself, making a crisp sound.

Gu Bei can see that this old thing is a character from the same era as Ange, so he definitely knows Ange, and even the shameless place is so similar.

He angrily took a sip of the wine in his glass and filled it again, "Now let's talk about the 'Eclipse of the Night'."

"Eclipse of the Night......," Uesugi looked at the deep alley through the rain curtain, "That's the opposite of Takamagahara, the city in the mirror, it's far less than Takamahara's name, but it's real."

According to mythology, after Yin Kanaqi gave birth to three children, he ordered Amaterasu to guard Takamagahara, and Suzuo to guard the sea frontier, and the place given to Tsukiyomi to manage was the Eclipse of the Night.

It is the kingdom of night, the world without light.

Anyone who has heard the myth will remember Takamagahara, because it was the abode of the gods, the place where the sun rises, but they don't care about the eclipse of the night.

Because there is no mention of the purpose of the Night Eclipse at all in the mythology, and the gods live in Takamagahara, what is the Light of the Night Eclipse......

"Nibelungen ......" Gu Bei guessed it, but it was precisely because he guessed it that he felt a little outrageous, "Why do you Japan have so many Nibelungen?"

"There's only one Nibelungen, actually." Uesugi looked at Gu Bei, "Your thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding, you have always thought that the Nibelungen is an extension of reality and a variant of the alchemy realm, but this is actually just a prejudice."

"The Nibelungen is indeed a reflection of reality, but this reflection is relative, like a two-way mirror, and reality is not a projection of the Nibelungen." Uesugi Yue's eyes were dark.

"Reality...... It's a projection of the Nibelungen......" Gu Bei felt as if he had touched something, obviously he could get the true image as long as he touched it, but it was separated by a thin layer of things.

Uesugi sighed, "Let's be more blunt."

"Takamagahara, and the Eclipse of the Night are both Nibelungen, but they are like the two sides of the same disc, when Takamagahara, the Eclipse of the Night is the Nibelungen hidden in the lower layer, and when Takamagaha falls into the Nibelungen......

"The Eclipse of the Night will be out of the Nibelungen and become a reality!" Gu Bei suddenly realized, followed by a numb scalp.

The information that Gu Bei got from the two brothers of the Yuan family has always recorded the existence of Gao Tianyuan, but there are some inconsistencies in this record.

In the early days, Takamagahara, a real city standing on the earth, but after Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi teamed up to sink Takamagahara, two generations of Yaki Orochi, into the deep sea, the recorded Takamagahara, became a Nibelungen.

And the one that exists in reality instead of Takamaga is the Eclipse of the Night.

But......

"If the Eclipse of the Night really exists as a 'reality', then why has there been no trace of the Eclipse of the Night in Japan until now?"

This is a loophole.

The existence of Takamagahara, which can be glimpsed, and as a mirror image of Takamagahara, there should be no trace of the Eclipse of the Night, but the fact is that there is no trace of the Eclipse of the Night in reality, except for the written record.

Uesugi shook his head, "You misunderstood, although Takamagahara, and Night Eclipse took advantage of the loophole of the mirror image to squeeze one of them into reality, but in the end

At the end of the day, both the essence of Takamagahara, the Eclipse of the Night, is still the Nibelungen, and you can only enter it through a specific entrance."

"It might be clearer to put it another way......

Uesugi lit a cigarette and the sparkle flickered: "Actually, the whole of Tokyo...... No, the whole of Japan is the back of Takamagahara, and the "reality" of the Night Eclipse and the real "reality" are superimposed, and only by opening the "door" connecting the two sides through a specific entrance will the Night Eclipse and the real world truly merge."

"Door ......" Gu Bei chewed on this word, and suddenly struck a spirit, saying Uesugi Yue's gaze looked at the deep alley.

The heavy raindrops crackled on the roof of the roof of the roof and the chill in the air suddenly intensified tenfold, making it almost suspicious that the raindrops would freeze instantly.

"You're smart." Uesugi nodded, "This is one of the gateways to the Eclipse of the Night and reality."

Uesugi is the owner of all the land on this street.

The former actor is now so poor that he has this piece of land left, but he would rather sell ramen than sell this piece of land, no matter how you look at it, it can't be out of nostalgia.

If he was really nostalgic, he wouldn't have sold the Uesugi family's old house.

Gu Bei looked around, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the torrential rain hit those nearly 100-year-old wooden and roofs.

The techniques of these constructions have been handed down from the Edo period, where craftsmen lay layers of tiles between the rafters, and the rain rushes down the troughs, shooting out silver parabolas in the night, and in this rainstorm all the cherry blossoms fall, and the streets are covered with water, and the stagnant water is full of fallen leaves, like a shuttle boat.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Going deep into every street and alley, in this rainy night that should be silent and uninhabited, there are countless shadows wandering in those dark alleys without light, and it is impossible not to remind people of the legend of the Netherworld Yellow Spring.

After turning off the vision, the other sensations are ten times sharper.

He felt the ground shake slightly, the sound of shadowy footsteps in the distance.

He smelled the smell of metal rust, not from the kitchen utensils scattered around, but the long knives on those shadowy waists that had been washed away by the rain for hundreds of years, and the wind brought the smell of iron to Gu Bei's nose.

Uesugi Yue threw the cigarette butt into the stagnant water, and with a "stab" sound, the picture in his mind as if a dream was shattered, Gu Bei opened his eyes, and Uesugi Yue just lit another cigarette in time.

It's still Gu Bei's lighter.

"How?" Uesugi was merciful and poured him a glass of wine, although Gu Bei spent money to buy it.

Gu Bei didn't move, thoughtful.

During the time that Uesugi was smoking a cigarette, his soul seemed to follow his mind to another world, and he saw monsters that were different from the real thing.

It wasn't until the sound of the cigarette butt being extinguished by the water that he pulled him back from that world.

"What the hell am I hearing?" Gu Bei asked.

"It's Hunt, a creature between humans and dragons, and hybrids often call them Deadpool. Some of them have been wandering in the Night's Eclipse for hundreds of years, some may have been thousands of years, and some of them have been demonized."

"They are called 'hunting' because they only have the instinct to hunt, which is determined by the bloodthirsty genes of dragons. The Night Eclipse was the creation of an ancient half-blood, before humans had yet to learn how to refine bronze, and the White King's bloodline had already built a city like Takamagahara, and it was mistaken for a kingdom of gods on the distant horizon in the memory of humans."

Gu Bei nodded: "So, the Eight Snake Families are also the gatekeepers of the Night Food Plain to some extent."

"Wrong." Uesugi shook his head, "The Eight Families of Snake Clans are just servants who serve the Imperial Blood, and the real gatekeepers are the Imperial Blood holders of each generation, and the Imperial Blood is the only key that can open this door, so it must also be guarded by people who are also Imperial Blood."

"Imperial Blood...... It's the key." Gu Bei suddenly thought that everything that happened in Japan seemed to revolve around the imperial blood and the holy remains, whether it was Eri or the Genji brothers, the ultimate goal was the imperial blood, they were all the heirs of the imperial blood, and they were all used by the people behind the scenes.

At first, Gu Bei thought that the person wanted to resurrect the White King with the Holy Blood Sacred Remains, but now he had another conjecture.

What if the other party's targets are not only the White King, but also Takamagahara, and the Night Eclipse?

Herzog's thinking tends to be that of a pure-blooded dragon, and everything is respected by bloodline and strength, so he probably can't accept multiple white kings on his head.

But what if he took control of Takamagahara, the Night Eclipse?

Or does he have the means to control the White King?

Gu Bei had a lot of thoughts, but in the end it was just a guess.

"By the way," Gu Bei looked at Uesugi Yue, "You just said that this is one of the entrances to the Night Eclipse Plain, are there any other entrances to the Night Eclipse Plain?"

Instead of answering directly, Uesugi asked rhetorically, "Have you ever wondered why dragons create such a paradoxical space?"

"The Nibelungen is a grave of dead matter and a storehouse of alchemical materials, and dragons make it a matter of course. And in this kind of space where they can create whatever they want, they have absolute control and feel safe." Gu Bei's answer was from the library in Kassel, and as for which book, he couldn't remember.

Uesugi shook his head: "That sounds reasonable, but those ancient dragons who can create space out of thin air will not lack the materials needed for alchemy, and the production of the Nibelungen first requires an extremely large amount of alchemy raw materials, so there is no need for them to do it for the sake of alchemy materials."

"Also, in the primeval era when dragons ruled the world, they also had absolute control over the real world, the world was their territory, and they should have placed their throne at the core of the territory, rather than creating a paradoxical space to hide their throne in."

Gu Bei pondered

After a moment, he nodded, "You're right."

"In fact, most Nibelungen was created for two purposes, either a sanctuary or a prison."

"Prison?" Gu Bei was stunned for a moment.

"The Eclipse of the Night was originally a prison, and Yin Shanaqi, whose ability was close to that of the Dragon King, created it, and it was continuously strengthened by successive Shadow Emperors to imprison our ancestors." Uesugi said quietly, "Those descendants who have fallen into Deadpool."

"You just said the hunter of the Eclipse of the Night......

"It's the ancestors of the Eight Snake Families." Uesugi said.

"I once heard a story in the Eight Snake Clan, there was a well in the courtyard of the Wind Demon House, but the well did not produce water, and it seemed to have dried up for many years."

"The elders of the family warned the children not to go too close to the well, which was locked with iron railings."

"One year, a cat owned by the owner of the Wind Demon family got through a crack in the railing and jumped into a well, and the cat never came out again."

"But it wasn't until later, when the old head died, and the new head of the family took office, that the people of the Wind Demon family could still hear the sound of a cat nearby, and some old people in the family said that it was the cat that jumped into the well, and it became a god and would never die."

"Long before the current Storm Demon Master was born, the well was filled with dirt and transformed into a pond, but the meows of cats and other uncanny sounds still roamed around it."

"Sounds like a ghost story." Gu Bei said.

Uesugi nodded: "With the lifespan of a cat, it is obviously impossible to live from that era to the present, and that well will not have enough food to support it to live for decades."

"Later, I found a primitive record in the family, in the hundreds of years of history of that house, every time the Snake Qi Eight family gave birth to freaks, or the bloodline of family members got out of control, the family would throw them into that well, and they held a large-scale *** by the well, apparently to pray for the blessing of the dead family, but in fact they used alchemy to set a ban and cut off the way for the family to return to the human world."

"That well is the entrance to the Eclipse of the Night?"

Uesugi nodded, "Yes, one of the entrances."

"So I can't guarantee that there is no other entrance to the Night Eclipse in this world, and even if this kind of thing is resurrected, there will be no answer, because the Night Eclipse is Japan itself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole of Japan is an entrance."

"Tsk," Gu Bei smacked his lips, "Your ancestor is like a troublemaker."

"Hmm." Uesugi thinks so.
