Bang Bang –

The old lock of the gate was picked open by Xia Xiu, and he pushed the door open with his hand and walked in.

A moist smell permeated the air, as if the air itself was carrying a layer of moisture, and the white paint on the walls began to peel off under the erosion of moisture, like the paint on a fading canvas began to fade, leaving irregular traces.

This kind of shabby place is only for frustrated people like Shaw Eli who have escaped from the city in embarrassment, he has not seen any other tenants along the way, and many people have taken an attitude of avoiding it. He estimated that Shaw Eli was tricked into staying here by a black agent, and when he wanted to regret it, it was too late.

Xia Xiu's feet stepped on the wooden floor on the ground, and the floor was also affected by the dampness, and some small water stains appeared on the slightly concave and convex wood grain, as if the floor was whispering the secret of the humidity of this room

"If this investigation is correct, then the relevant assertions I have submitted will be strongly proven." Xia Xiu said to [Adam] in his head. At the same time, he also began to make his way to the floor where Shaw Eli once lived, where there was no elevator, so he had to walk up the stairs.

[The article "Conjectures on the Rituals and Bodies Needed for Kupperler's Resustenance" that you wrote after investigating Seabreeze Village and based on the information compiled by the Intelligence Officer has been uploaded to [Central Containment Chamber], and the researchers in the containment chamber generally support many of the ideas and conjectures you mentioned in your paper-]

"So now it's the final piece of the puzzle, and I need to do one last backtracking of Shaw Eli to prove my conjecture."

Xia Xiu had already come to the ninth floor at this time, this strange self-built building was already decaying from the first floor to the eighth floor, only the floors above the ninth floor were relatively normal, and the building where Xiao Eli lived was 908, and he was standing in front of 908's room at the moment.

Xia Xiu twisted the doorknob and didn't open it.

So, Sisyphus floated out of his body and raised his right fist alof.

Bang!

The door opened, and he entered.

908 is a typical low-cost urban village studio.

The size of the room is small, the space is cramped, and there is not much private space; The interior facilities are basic, a bed, a simple table, a chair; The bathroom and shower are combined, the room is not a few steps away, the facilities are rudimentary, and there is a disgusting yellow dirt and smell.

"A thousand slaves have been sacrificed, and the imprint of the stars has been engraved on the Great Mother, let me take His divine body, that He may be able to fill the depths of his pelvis; He will experience the ups and downs of life, like the four seasons of the earth, and He will contain infinite hope and strength to guard the germination of new life..."

Xia Xiu's mind recalled the words of the black-robed woman, and at the same time, the phantom of [Vashak] resurfaced behind him, and at the same time, he began to review the important information he had obtained from the two fragments of the retracement.

The prayer of the black-robed woman is very important, when he was studying in the deer courtyard, when Alice performed it, he had experienced the importance of [words and spirits] and [oaths] more than once, especially for the gods, for the gods The prayer must be fulfilled - the words must be meaningful, what is said is true, referring to the essence, symbolizing the ontology.

In the field of thaumaturgy, linguistic rhetoric is as important as symbolism, and their specific application is prayer and vows.

Prayers and vows require three things: a contract, a motherhood, and a probability field.

In the tracking and backtracking of [Coupper], Xia Xiu observed the details revealed by the black-robed woman in the clues of the elephant fragment, and must use this as a clue to closely pursue and analyze her motives and next moves.

The first is [Refer to the Certificate] and [Symbolic Body], this is the point that Xia Xiu has always paid attention to, when Flange killed the [Human Face Mouse] for the first time, he noticed that the other party held the "Great Circle", one of the five major characteristics of the [Great Mother Goddess], and when the Sea Breeze Village backtracked for the second time, he noticed that the appearance characteristics of the divine organs in the shrine did indeed belong to the "Great Circle".

This clue is important because the Eigena is the manifestation of the divine power and personality of the deity, and at the same time, it is also a symbolic attribute of the [miracle]. It is an advanced manifestation of the [Crown Element], and when thaumaturgists penetrate the "Seven Levels of Aether", they will receive the "Intrinsic Weapon (Intrinsic Characteristics)" that represents a miracle.

If the Great Mother Goddess wants to be resurrected, it must meet the essential characteristics, and this involves two other points: what is said must be true, and what is said is true.

If you refine the words of the black-robed woman, you can get the following keywords:

"A Thousand Slaves", "The Brand of the Stars", "A Proper Pelvis", "The Ups and Downs of Life", "The Change of the Seasons".

Needless to say, the "Brand of the Stars" is the price that the black-robed woman has to pay for taking out her divine organs.

In addition to this clue, the other four clues were integrated into one by Xia Xiu, and the third thing he was going to do now was to prove the conjecture in his heart.

Vashak's deep, mysterious purple eyes shimmered in the room, like two bright stars in the night sky.

"Timing control—"

"Time Insight: Fragments of Events!"

-The Third Thing Goes Back to the Beginning-

Puff~

Puff~

The scene around him was like a film movie, the brown picture quality replaced the colorful world, and the only colors were the blonde youth and the time demon god behind him, who watched the gap in time like spectators.

Everything starts to rewind.

Soon, the rewind clips begin to freeze to the most important ones, and then start playing frame by frame.

"Damn! My money was obviously a little bit close, why didn't I stop it at that time! ”

In the brown picture, in the small, dimly lit single room, a middle-aged man sits quietly on the edge of a dilapidated bed.

The dim light cast a faint halo that outlined his decadent and tired face, his messy hair scattered in front of his forehead, and a pair of eyes that had lost their luster revealed a deep despair.

He held a wine glass in his hand, the liquid in which was swaying, and he took a sip, as if trying to numb the pain inside. In the corner of the room, there were countless empty wine bottles, which were testimonies of his failure. The ground is covered with paper, cigarette butts, and all sorts of meaningless clutter, just like the chaos of his life.

The indifference of the city and the cruelty of reality seem to be pushing him inexorably into the abyss.

"House, house, house..."

Shaw Eli, who was full of alcohol, kept repeating this sentence, for the vast majority of office workers, a house means a sense of security and dependence; Don't have to rent a house and be forced to live in someone else's house, looking at the landlord's face; You don't have to worry about the house, you can read or rest at home with peace of mind.

Why do you have to have a house in life?

He didn't know, he didn't want to think about too philosophical and clichéd questions.

All he knew was that the house he had bought with a loan of 30 years had become a bubble in the eyes of others.

When the Great Depression came, there were countless people like him, and there were even worse than him.

What is even more terrifying is the powerlessness of the Phrygian government, the powerlessness of the central coalition, the powerlessness of the Addisi government...

During the Great Depression, the construction of countless buildings began to stall and be interrupted due to financial problems, and eventually became half-built or unfinished buildings.

There has been a large-scale unfinished building project in Terra.

He'd seen people worse than him, poor people trying to find an explanation.

If you go to make trouble alone, they will find someone who will listen to you and let you vent, and finally let you go home.

A group of people go to make trouble, and there are many ways to deal with it, even if you finally meet the head of the Phrygian government, it will be a good meal of language art nonsense, and finally let you go home.

He didn't understand before, a house, dozens of floors, you have built it, why don't you continue to renovate?

Later, I realized that the developer could get the regulatory payment if the cap was capped.

He didn't understand before, if a house is unfinished, will the developer have no one to take care of it?

Later, I found out that even if you sue the court, the court will generally tell you: you can't find a developer, and you can't enforce it.

Banks are on the verge of becoming a joke, and the Phrygian government has directly smashed the credibility it has built over the years.

Phrygia took the land finance and taxes, the real estate developer took the purchase money, the bank made a lot of money, and then all the systems in the whole real estate chain can default and not be liable, and in the end, only the buyer cannot default and cannot file for personal bankruptcy.

If he deserves it, then those poor people are the blood mold that has fallen for eight lifetimes.

Under the Great Depression, a grain of ash of the times directly crushed Shaw Eli and others, crushing everything in their past.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Why did you do this to me!! ”

Shaw Eli slammed the bottle in his hand forward, roaring angrily, and now he was weeping and grief-stricken.

And just as Shaw Eli was venting his anger, a slightly shrill laugh reached his ears.

"You're like a dog."

"Who!?"

Shaw Eli looked around, but saw no one, just when he thought he was drunk.

The house is alive.

Squeak –

The house let out a long, low moan, and the soles of his feet and teeth sensed the strangeness.

With a bubble-like popping sound, the wall eats the window; Something is eating away at your consciousness, his senses are getting more and more blurred, it's a familiar hangover? No, that's something much more wonderful.

Womb?

Looking at the deformed house, Xiao Eli thought of the uterus for no reason, very inexplicably.

He felt his brain empty of something, followed by a hallucination, a seductive-looking woman holding out her index finger to hook his chin, and he felt nothing but a heat as the shape of his pants arched high against the skin of his legs.

"Would you like to be my dog?"

"I..." Shaw Eli felt nothing but something burning everything about him.

The already barren heart was ignited by a sudden heat.

His reason, his common sense, his shame, his dignity...

“··· I do. ”

"Good."

Something was close to him.

————————

Click!!

The backtracking scene collapses again, the surrounding scene accelerates wildly, and things return to their colorful colors again.

The blonde youth stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin, and through the scene and the familiar distortion and distortion, he confirmed a guess in his heart.

What is said is true, and what is said must be achieved.

The four clues that Xia Xiu had integrated earlier can now be deduced and summarized.

The first is the "thousand slaves".

This is actually a pun on the word, the black-robed woman's so-called "a thousand slaves" refers not only to those sacrifices, but also to a certain attribute of the sacrifice itself.

In this world, what will fit: the right pelvic cavity, experiencing the ups and downs of life, the changing seasons of the earth, containing infinite hope and strength, guarding the germination of new life, and at the same time, it is the master of slaves?

The answer, of course: houses.

Shaw Eli is a slave of the house, such a slave, in what is now Phrygia, there are many!

And now he was able to determine what the followers of the Great Mother Goddess wanted to do.

When he traced back to the ruins of Seabreeze Village, he was already vaguely aware of the [eunuch's] true motives for his actions.

And now, he is completely convinced of the other party's true purpose.

The resurrection of the Great Mother God is just a façade, what this [eunuch] really wants is to engrave [the oath] on the nature of the gods, she is not resurrecting the gods she serves, she is blaspheming Him!

In Alice's interpretation, Xia Xiu once received the [oath], as he once said to [Hope]: "The oath occupies a very important weight in the transcendence of the glorious era, it is the most secret part, the sacred oath of the transcendents of the past, whether it is made voluntarily or by others with spells or oaths, it is basically unviolable, it is also a taboo or Achilles heel that mythological heroes usually do not know." ”

The contamination of the stars, the sacrifices of the desperate people of the present world, and an abandoned building that may be a cult······

With this terrible pollution, engrave yourself an irresistible oath to the gods!

This [eunuch] is utterly blasphemous.

"[Adam], where is the biggest unfinished project in Allah?" Xia Xiu suddenly asked [Adam].

In the order of the prayers, it is not difficult to surmise that [the eunuchs] have now reached the step of finding a "suitable pelvis".

The blonde youth's left-handed watch began to glow.

[The largest current unfinished building in Allah is the Allah International Financial Centre, which is planned as a modern financial center in an emerging business district of Allah City.]

Its architectural plan includes multiple skyscrapers, commercial facilities, and public spaces, and is intended to become the center of Ankara's financial industry. However, due to various factors such as financing problems, mismanagement, and legal disputes, the project encountered many difficulties during the construction process, and after the Great Depression came, the construction plan was completely declared to be abandoned.

[Additional information: Far East Heavy Industries and Form Hunters trade their arms in the Allah International Financial Center, which has been closed for several days.] ]

"Yo, that's such a coincidence."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the blonde youth's face.
