Chapter 50: A Belated Beginning
"It's finally back."
In the secluded and dark underwater Grand Canyon, a two-meter-high black shadow gradually appeared.
On top of two pairs of horns that resembled heads, a pair of scarlet eyes gradually looked around.
Collapsed houses, dilapidated buildings, and the few surviving palaces were empty.
Although there are some fish and shrimp, the city has clearly lost its life.
"What's going on......
"Where have all the servants gone......
Dylan stared at the ruins of the ocean floor around him, a little stunned.
Although he has been away for a while, it is not like this.
And this time he made a big discovery, and even made a plan, but he couldn't achieve it with his strength alone.
The purpose of hurrying back was to find other demons.
Dylan's plan needed some of their strength.
Although I don't want to bring that guy with me, I can't help it, this operation is difficult to continue without any demon.
Can ...... now
Can five years make such a big difference?
As he thought, he followed the current.
Looking for the palace that belonged to him.
The dilapidated building moved backwards, and in a few moments, Dylan followed his memory to the palace where he had lived for a long time.
Unfortunately, his palace was not one of those that survived.
And compared to other collapsed palaces, the building was more completely damaged.
The palace complex next to it is not even intact, as if it is ...... It's like going through a big war.
After a moment of silence, Dylan sneaked into his palace.
His body made of black qi could be blurred, and the ruins of these buildings could not stop his movements.
Following his memory, he approached his magic laboratory.
No other thing could survive such a catastrophe, but magical items are different.
It's just that Dylan can resist it, and I'm afraid there are few pieces.
Hope to find it again.
With luck, the demon formed by the black qi rummaged through the ruins, occasionally using its sharp claws that could touch the real thing, removing the fragments of the building that blocked the view.
The rocks that were thrown fell into the mud, and the surrounding sea became turbid.
Some small sea creatures were frightened and fled into the distance.
Time passes.
Dylan rummaged through the place for more than ten minutes.
But the end result was not very good, and only one of his collections was still usable.
Everything else has lost its magic.
On the black paws, a rusted box was pinched.
Dylan didn't care that it was underwater, and directly opened the magic lock.
The surface is terrible, but he put a lot of effort into the design of this box.
I don't know how long it took, but it clearly did its job well.
The magic lock opened, and the rusted box lost its ability to sustain it, and it shattered into gravel directly in the water, and then was washed away by the current.
What remained in Dylan's hands was a piece of paper.
A piece of paper with magical powers.
This piece of paper was encountered by him during a trip, and it also faintly reminded him.
It seems that it will be gotten by a thief thousands of years later.
Fun magic items Dylan won't refuse, not to mention that origami magic is also a rather rare side magic.
Its kaleidoscopic nature is still very attractive to Dylan.
It was originally preserved for the purpose of collecting, but now it is the only thing left.
Although he was a little embarrassed, Dylan didn't feel too much.
The strange sight of Atlantis gave him a vague premonition, but if that was the case, it would be a hassle to find help from other demons.
However, it doesn't have to be all bad.
After all, if it really spans thousands of years, then there is a shortcut after discovering the essence of discovery.
The power of the shadows may be able to absorb it......
Speculating on this, Dylan quickly left the Grand Canyon.
Just find a shore and observe the human condition, and he can be sure of everything.
Following the direction of the current, Dylan remembered that there was a land on that side.
After advancing for almost an hour, Dylan's impression of land gradually appeared.
He hid under the water and slowly approached.
Torrential rain slowly began to fall in the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the thunder continued to sound.
As we approached, the situation on the land began to become clearer, and modern buildings appeared.
What was originally a harbor is now a fish canning factory.
In the surrounding ocean, cargo ships pass through from time to time.
Dylan knew that there was no need to look any further.
These things have already determined his thoughts.
But can't righteousness affect him? Why is this happening......
In the shallow sea, a black fog ponders in the water.
But with the presence of someone, Dylan withdrew from his thoughts.
By the window of the canned fish factory, a white-haired man appeared, looking out the window and wondering what he was thinking.
He was dressed in a striking green suit, his face was a little gloomy, his face was slightly tilted back, and he was saying something.
It was so far away that even if Dylan was a demon, he couldn't hear what he was saying.
But that iconic dress and hair color, as well as the current era.
A thought came to Dylan's mind.
However, if he appeared with this body, he was afraid that it would cause considerable turmoil, but he did not want to refuse the temptation of the charm.
Raising his palm, the magic paper gave Dylan an idea.
In the scarlet eyes, the house of the canned fish processing factory gradually enlarged.
……
……
In the wind and rain, the paper folding bird gradually descended to the roof of a four-story building.
Below, even though it was raining, there was still a vendor selling something.
Under a large rain shelter, the young white-haired man sells some figurines, anime stickers, posters, and the like.
The face is covered with the mask of the anime character that is popular nowadays, and it seems to be to attract the interest of the guests.
Although there were not many pedestrians on the road, it happened that a girl who was being led by a blonde woman noticed this side.
"Mom, I want that!"
The little girl tugged at her mother's hand with a look of longing.
Although she wanted to go home quickly, the blonde woman couldn't bear to refuse the little girl, and besides, it was just a toy.
"Baby, mom bought it for you!"
Rubbing the girl's head, the woman held her umbrella and led her to the side of the vendor.
As soon as she walked under the shed, the woman put down her umbrella, and the other took the girl's hand and tried to release it to close it.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the umbrella she had just put down was blown out.
Because she didn't let go, the umbrella was still in her hand, but the vendor's humble shelf was knocked down by the umbrella, and things fell to the ground.
Several of the posters were blown away by the wind, and even in heavy rain, they still flew far away, and one of them flew into the alley next to it.
"Oh, I'm sorry sir! I'll pick it up for you! ”
The woman apologized for the mistake she had made, and kept apologizing to the young man who was picking up something next to her.
And during this time, a tall figure came out of the alley, waited under the eaves for a while, and got into a taxi with the girl next to him and left.
Most of the things on the ground were picked up, except for the ones that could not be wanted, but some of the ones that flew out could never be recovered.
The white-haired youth did not blame them and gave the little girl a mask.
By the time the mother and daughter left, the rain began to lighten.
The white-haired vendor picks up a Q version of a male doll from the sewage.
Looking at the doll, he didn't know what was going on under the mask, and let out a strange laugh.
"The trapped beast in the cage is always jealous of the birds that fly freely...... Why not me? ”
Mumbled questions will not have answers.
The words gradually fell, and the mask on his face slowly disappeared.
There weren't many options he could make, and this face was one.
At the very least, there will be some traces of existence......
