Chapter 12: The Scene of Death

Due to the impact of Ember and Old Neil's contamination, Crane's spirit was extremely trance-like.

Even the trivial matter of the tuxedo clown "tricking the corpse" seems insignificant.

Due to the change of old Neil.

The four Ember Men who were supposed to return to Beckland stayed, and Dunn would be in charge of entertaining them.

Crane was eager to find out Ember's identity, but he didn't stay.

He quickly completed his mission, and then returned to the house on Daffodil Street in the carriage.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that neither Benson nor Melissa had returned home.

Return to the bedroom immediately and lock the door.

Then he didn't even have time to take off his torn formal clothes before he stepped over to the gray mist.

Although he would love to ask Ember in person, it was the most direct and fastest way to do it.

But this is clearly not wise.

Not to mention that even if he asked the other party if he would say it, not to mention that he couldn't find the time to be alone with Ember.

Asking those questions in front of the captain will only make it appear that he has a problem.

So, he chose to use another method -

Go to the gray mist for divination.

Above the vast and hazy gray mist, in the majestic ancient temple.

Crane's figure sits at the top of the long bronze table, with a freshly "embodied" piece of parchment in front of him.

"Whew!"

Klein took a deep breath, he had already envisioned multiple possibilities before he came.

I also thought about how to divinate and what to divination.

So, he didn't hesitate.

Divination statements were written on paper.

"The origin of the embers."

After writing the divination statement, Klein hesitated.

He didn't know if the word 'embers' alone could point to the other party, but he really didn't have a clearer point at the moment.

Therefore, we can only make bold assumptions and verify carefully.

If it doesn't work, then think of another way.

"The origin of the embers."

After reciting the divination seven times, Crane took the paper and leaned back in his chair, falling into a deep sleep above the gray mist.

Soon, he saw an immensible, illusory, gray mist.

In a few seconds, Crane's eyes darkened, turning brown to black, and he entered a meditative state.

His eyelids drooped, and he "saw" an illusory and hazy dream.

It was an immense, illusory, gray mist.

Soon, the fog slowly separated, and the scene behind the fog became clearer.

It was a cemetery.

A cemetery on top of a snow-capped mountain, and there seems to be a church in front of the cemetery, but that's not the point!

Crane's gaze was completely on the figure who crawled out of the sarcophagus!

Dressed in full-body armor that was very different from the ashes he had seen during the day, he crawled out of his coffin in the blood moon.

But Klein recognized it at the first time.

The armor worn by Ash is clearly the original knight suit in Dark Soul III!

He watched as Ember sat up from the coffin and looked ahead.

It was a bonfire made of bones!

He saw Ember step by step, and then took out a spiral sword out of thin air and stuck it in it.

In an instant, flames rose up.

But the next second.

Crane's eyes went dark, as if someone had suddenly unplugged the power cord, and he was plunged into complete darkness.

Crane opened his eyes suddenly.

However, in the next second, he found that the 'gray mist' in front of him was covered by 'darkness' at an extremely fast speed.

Almost instantly, darkness engulfed everything around them.

Whether it is the majestic palace or the ancient and mottled bronze table, it is gradually disappearing.

But Klein just watched, and could only watch in horror and dazed as all this happened.

But luckily.

The darkness quickly dissipated a second before it came to him.

Gray mist filled his vision again, and the towering palaces and mottled bronze tables reappeared.

"What's going on?"

Klein's eyes widened, and he gasped for air.

Looking up, everything returned to its original state, as if everything was just a dream.

But he could clearly feel that it was not a dream!

"Is it a goddess?"

Crane's IQ is not low, and he just pulls everything together after a moment of panic.

The cemetery located on top of the snow-capped mountains has no clues.

But the church located on the snow-capped mountain instantly reminded him of the headquarters of the Church of the Night, the Church of Tranquility.

Moreover, the 'darkness' just now also corresponds to the goddess of the night-

"She is the goddess of the night who is exalted above the stars, who is older than eternity, the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Empress of Doom and Fear, the Lord of Slumber and Silence."

Crane smiled wryly.

Although there is no evidence, he feels that it should be eight or nine and ten.

The one who 'invaded' the gray mist just now was probably the goddess of the night.

But fortunately, the gray mist was more mysterious than he had imagined, and he had blocked the invasion of a god.

"Whew."

Crane let out a long breath and began to think through the clues he had just gotten in his mind.

"First of all, the embers are probably the embers I remember."

"Waking up from the cemetery and lighting a bonfire is exactly the same as the 'program' I remember."

"And judging from the 'spark' on his body, he should have passed the fire once? Possibly more than once. No, it's a reality, not a game, and there isn't a multi-week, so it should only be once. ”

"Of course, it doesn't have to be 'spreading fire', it can also be 'extinguishing fire'."

"But all this seems out of place in this world, and I have never heard of any legends in this world like 'Spreading Fire' and 'Salary King' and 'Immortals'."

"Although there is also a 'resurrection of the dead', it is only a law specially enacted by the Seven Churches and the royal families to reduce and eliminate water spirits, zombies, and resentful spirits at the end of the last epoch more than a thousand years ago."

"These are obviously not the same as the undead, and the undead are cursed people, and they are not the undead who become after death."

"Or is this the world after the fire was extinguished, and both the Spread of Fire and the Salary King are what happened in the 'Zero Era'?"

"Could it be that the First Age is a post-fire world until now? But why is there still a god in this case? ”

"No, it doesn't have to be the world after the fire!"

"It's also possible that the other party is also a 'time-traveler', but he traveled from the world of Dark Souls to this world."

"But how do you explain the campfire? Ember had just crawled out of the grave when the campfire was right in front of him, and it was clearly not from the time he slept in the grave. ”

"Also, the moment Ember lit the bonfire, everything fell into darkness, and that should be the power of the goddess."

"In other words, 'lighting the bonfire' alarmed the goddess and caused her to cast her gaze at the embers?"

"Is the flame rising from the campfire the first fire? And why did the goddess look at him? ”

"Him, Ember, does he have anything to do with my crossing?"

"Wait a minute!"

Crane suddenly woke up, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

In the picture I just saw, Ember was clearly crowned with a scarlet full moon!

And on the day he crossed over, there was also a scarlet blood moon in the sky!

Did they cross on the same day?

"If that's the case......"

Crane gritted his teeth, "I must find a way to pull him above the gray mist!" ”

As long as there is the slightest clue to go home, he will not give up!

Even if it will be related to God!
