【Dusk】.......... Hearing this term, Su Shi understood that it was the other party's symbol, not the traditional sense of twilight, of course, the other party could put him in such an eternal twilight scene, I am afraid it was also related to the power of the other party.

"Are those missing like me?"

Su Shi asked seemingly calmly, but his fingers, unconsciously grasping his clothes, this answer was very important to him.

"You don't have enough authority to know the answer." [Dusk] went straight to the point and explained to him: "The reason why Dusk Space is included in you is very simple, now there is a choice, and it is in front of you. ”

"—Did you sign a contract with Twilight Space and become a dependent?"

"The advantage of signing a contract is that you will not only get the answers to the above questions, but you will also gain power beyond ordinary people, as well as the things I mentioned earlier, which cannot be known by human reason.......... For example, the knowledge that books cannot record, and the corresponding power. ”

"At the price, you'll need to carry out space missions, travel to different worlds, and carry out missions as dependents."

After saying that, [Dusk] looked at him quietly.

But unexpectedly, Su Shi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Is this the legendary 'Hirazaka'?" ”

Hirazaka is one of the famous legends of the Sakura Country, just like 'Kamigakure', and it is said that in ancient times, there was a couple in the land of the Sakura Country, and the male was named Izanagi. And his wife, Nami, after dying in childbirth, Izanagi traveled to the Underworld to find his wife, Nami. But when Izanagi found Nami and was about to take her back to the world on the night, he got a glimpse of his wife's true face.

It was full of maggots wriggling, and her skin was swollen and festering, like a demon, and it turned out that Nami had already eaten the food of the underworld, and her body had turned into the people of the underworld, so she naturally became like this.

Izanagi turned around and ran in fright, and finally fell down a rock at 'Hirazaka', preventing Nami from leaving the underworld and cutting off the junction between the human world and the underworld.

The influence of this myth is so great that the folklore of the cherry blossom country has its shadow, just like the silver-haired old driver who said, 'You can't eat the food offered to the immortals by mistake, otherwise, you will have to stay there forever........... is also derived from this.

At this moment, Su Shi asked this question, and the meaning of it was self-evident - the contract was equivalent to the food of the underworld.

In other words, he guessed that the 'Twilight Space' was the mastermind behind those 'hidden' events in the real world, and those who disappeared were probably summoned into the 'Twilight Space' by him just like him.

By analogy, does the story of the 'Shinin' in the ancient legends of the Sakura Country imply the rules of the twilight space? For example, if an ordinary person mistakenly enters the underworld dominated by the gods and eats the food of the underworld, they will incarnate as 'residents' and will not be able to return to the human world for the rest of their lives.

Isn't Su Shi signing a contract with the other party equivalent to eating the food of the underworld?

According to the allusion of 'Kamigaku', this is not a good thing, and Izanagi's wife, Nami, is trapped in the underworld.

[Dusk] was slightly stunned, and then, where his face could not be seen under the cloak, suddenly there was a burst of laughter, compared to the previous gender indistinguishable, this time, his laughter seemed to be a little soft:

"You're funny, personally, you're definitely the funniest of all the dependents I've ever met.........."

"I'm interested in you."

After saying that, [Dusk] didn't give him a chance to answer, and continued: "As I said earlier, I have many names on my body, including the part that you are familiar with, and the same is true of the land under your feet, which also has many names........."

"For example, Hirazaka in the Sakura Country, such as Avalon where the lake elves are stationed, such as Valhalla, where the warriors rest, and Shadow Country, which resides in the shadows........"

"Or even .......... Shangri-La? ”

Call......... Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, the meaning that [Dusk] passed to him was very clear, after signing this contract, he could still return to the real world, just like the Nordic warriors in Valhalla, or the mountain villagers who had strayed into the fairyland and returned in the Peach Blossom Land in Guxia.

Since the other party is not limited to the Sakura Country, let alone the indigenous mythology of the Sakura Country, and is inextricably linked to the major myths, then, his last concern has also disappeared.

At that moment, Su Shi no longer hesitated: "I agree." ”

Since [Dusk] threw an olive branch to him, and it was related to the disappearance of his sister three years ago, all kinds of factors combined, and he has been chasing Su Shi in the mysterious world, and there is no reason to refuse the other party.

Only by becoming a dependant can there be hope of finding Su Li.

The knives and guns that stood on the ground around him shone brightly, and a dim point of light floated towards him.

The dusk color like a firefly fell in front of Su Shi and transformed into a piece of golden parchment, on which fragments of obscure words automatically emerged, as if they did not belong to the language of this era.

Strangely, however, Su Shi could read the words just by looking at them—even if he had never seen them.

Those are descriptions of 'dependents', and in some places, they resemble the ancient legends of heavenly soldiers, Taoist priests, sorcerers, and so on.

At this moment, Su Shi realized more and more the words that [Dusk] once said: "For example, knowledge that cannot be recorded in books ........."

When the golden parchment was described to the end, Su Shi's real name was depicted on the inscription, and at the same moment, Su Shi felt pain on the back of his hand, faintly matching with the parchment in the air, and then, the entire parchment turned into a large number of light spots, accompanied by the words of [Dusk]:

"I'm looking forward to your performance and hope to see .......... next time"

"It won't be long."

As the words fell, the dusk bloomed like amber solidifying, covering Su Shi's vision.

...................

"Extracting the world of trials, drawing is complete."

"The body is transformed, and after the transformation is completed, your body will display the situation with half data."

"First Trial Mission, get the world language for free."

"Only by completing the trial can you retain the status of 'dependent'."

There was an emotionless cold voice in his ears, but Su Shi didn't care about it, because the feeling of weightlessness came from the soles of his feet, and the whole person seemed to be thrown into the drum washing machine, and he was dizzy for a while.

The next moment.

When the imbalance dissipated, Su Shi opened his eyes, and the smell of smoky sulfur burrowed into his nostrils.

At the same time, Suose found himself in a dimly lit single room, somewhat similar to a staff dormitory.

But the walls were rocky, and his bed was hung from the wall, and not far away, there were rusty iron buckets and basins, which looked like household items, and a slightly green sink next to it, in which was a pile of dirty water.

Hiss, Su Shi felt a pain on the back of his hand, and looked down, a dim symbol like a remnant sun gradually condensed on the back of his hand.

It was he who signed a contract with the golden parchment and signed the seal of the dependents on the back of his hand, but according to the information revealed on the parchment, this mark was not yet full authority, and it required Su Shi to complete the trial in order to retain the status of the 'dependent'.

When Su Shi's gaze met the sigil, for a split second, he took information from the sigil, just as he had read the words on parchment earlier.

Trial Location: Primordial Iron World (Lv5/Hell difficulty).

World Type: Dependency World

Main Quest: Trial of the Dawn

Feeder: None

Hint: This trial has a limited scope, if you leave the scope of the 'Black Gold City', you will not enjoy the protection of the assessment, and the world difficulty will increase greatly (with unpredictable consequences)!

Reminder: It is not allowed to disclose everything about the 'twilight space' to the indigenous people, and those who violate it will be punished according to the situation, and those who are serious will be deprived of their status.

Special Note: Failure of the main story will deprive the dependents of their status.

Failure Punishment: Erase the Trialist's memories of 'Twilight Space' and banished him back to the real world.

"Erase the memory.........." Su Shi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw the punishment of failure.

At this moment, he understood what was going on with the 'Shen Yin', it turned out that those who disappeared did not remember their personal experience because they failed the assessment and did not become the real dependents.

There are also many examples from ancient mythology that correspond to this situation............ Dusk space, a long time ago in the selection of dependents? The missing in the real world are the objects of its selection.

But it's imperative to get to know the location of the trial first......... Su Shi looked down.

At the bottom of the information is a brief introduction to the world -

[This is an extremely barren world, with only endless mountains and gray mist shrouded in sky. 】

[In the 120th year of the Black Iron Calendar, a tribe discovered a strange substance deep underground in the Endless Mountain Range, which is similar to metal and has mysterious activity, and when humans come into contact with it, they will also be infected by it. 】

[In the 138th year of the Black Iron Calendar, a large number of 'Infecteds' began to be born, claiming to be blessed by the heavens, and calling the strange substance a gift from the earth to mankind, and naming it 'Primordial Iron'. 】

[In the 150th year of the Black Iron Calendar, the tribe that first discovered the 'original iron' established a church of faith, and they no longer believed in the earth and the ethereal gods, but changed their faith to 'original iron', calling themselves 'black craftsmen', and began to spread their faith. 】

[The black craftsman is the aristocrat of the new era. 】

[In the 460th year of the steam calendar, the Church of Primordial Iron ruled the land, led by the three major steam city-states, due to the blessing of the power of Primordial Iron, the life span of blacksmiths was far greater than that of ordinary people, and at the same time, they established harsher class laws. 】

[The aristocracy, led by the black craftsmen, and the contradictions between ordinary people are becoming more and more intensified, as if the calm before the eruption of a volcano. 】

[In the year 512 of the steam calendar, small-scale riots frequently broke out in various places, except for the three steam city-states, other regions were not spared, but the three steam city-states did not take it to heart, and the power of the black craftsmen was not something that ordinary people could shake.

While their eyes are focused on the depths of the mountains, a period of critical planning has been prepared, however, a secret organization called the 'New Gospel' has quietly spread among ordinary people, quietly waiting for an opportunity............]
