79 hell
*
After those long foreshadowings, the plot finally got to the point.
Some people were talking about the new thing, the enchantment, wondering what it was, and how and how it came to be.
There are some people of the older generation who don't know why they know a little about it, and they recall the existence of enchantments, as if they are generally related to the story of guarding treasures or sealing monsters.
But when I want to recall more things, I can't remember them clearly because of the long time that has passed.
Therefore, even if many people want to inquire about this matter, they end up with nowhere to find it.
However, there are some people who have some old classics and codexes of their ancestors because of the relationship between their ancestors.
If you're lucky, you might find legends and stories on it.
But if you're unlucky, there is generally no record of anything like that on it.
Rather, there are navies and world governments, as well as some families with rich history, and a relatively large number of classics and codex as references.
But I don't know why, almost all of the above content about "enchantment" is very rare, and there is not much detailed introduction.
On the contrary, he used a lot of ink pens to describe how important the treasures that were guarded were, or how terrible the monsters that were sealed.

γAdmiral's Officeγ
Because people all over the world are busy chasing dramas, the crime rate has dropped by more than one percent.
Although Sengoku, as a marshal of the Navy, is still very busy, compared to the previous urgent reports, most of the content he has to deal with now is some trivial matters, as well as some report approval processes that are not very urgent in terms of time.
The overly light work has made Sengoku very nourishing lately, and even when he rests at night, he won't be able to sleep in bed for a long time because of too many bad things.
And, because the mood has been too pleasant these days, when Sengoku saw Karp stealing his treasured senbei to eat, although he kept complaining in his mouth, he didn't get too angry in his heart.
Occasionally, he would bring out a good tea and sit down across from Karp with a decent mouth, and share it with him.
Karp: "............"
Alas - what a scary!
What kind of style has this kid been smoking recently? How can you be so scary these days, you bastard!
Karp bit the senbei and muttered in his heart, but after only a minute or two of reluctance, he threw this awkward feeling aside, and then comfortably chewed the senbei while drinking tea.
"But then again, that thing called 'Enchantment' is really curious." Karp looked at the actions of the two on the screen, touched his chin and showed a thoughtful expression, and his heart was a little nervous, "I don't know if it is the old man who goes to punch him, it will have the same effect." β
"Hmm...... It's hard to say, this kind of thing. β
Although Sengoku really wanted to damage Karp, he recognized the strength of his companions very much, "Although the enchantment on the screen looks very good in terms of defense, but judging from the current strength of Ji Ye and Li Guanqi, they are not enough to test the upper limit of this enchantment." β
"Hahaha, indeed...... However, in this case, it also means that the trouble they will face next is not something that can be directly crushed by force, and it requires a certain amount of trickery to solve......"
Speaking of this, Karp couldn't help but show an uncomfortable expression, his facial features wrinkled tightly, half complaining, half disgusting and concluding: "Anyway, it sounds like troublesome to death." β
"It's not like you're going to use your brain, what are you complaining about here?"
The hot tea in the hands of the Warring States Products leisurely enjoyed this rare leisure time, "But you're right, since there is no way to break this barrier violently, then according to the characteristics of the enchantment, it should be necessary for them to achieve some internal conditions, or get some key props, before they can get out from here." β
In view of the fact that there are so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods on the great voyage, coupled with the background of the entire navy as a bonus, although the Warring States feel that it is rare, they are not too unfamiliar with the existence of things like [Enchantment].
It's just a little strange why this so-called enchantment exists in a place like the barracks, where there are neither treasures nor monsters? Is it really because of the saying "Midyear Festival, the Ghost Door is Wide Open" on the screen?
But this statement sounds like it's just a custom from the flower planters, and it should be similar to traditional culture on their side, like legends or something, and it can't be that there are really ghosts in this world......
It's ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Sengoku couldn't help but shake his head, but he wasn't very sure, he just hoped that things wouldn't go the way he thought.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and in less than ten minutes, layers of snow had piled up, enough to soak an adult's ankle.
Not only that, but even the surrounding roads and buildings have become visibly dilapidated.
The walls that had been white were gradually stained with a layer of rotten ash, and the skin of the walls peeled off, revealing the mud that was even darker inside.
The papyrus that did not conform to the style of this era was pasted on the walls and windows at some point, and the red lanterns were quietly hung on the walls, burning candles inside, but the light did not play the role of lighting at all, but set off everything around them more dimly.
"It's a big battle...... I don't know what kind of sacredness it will be tonight? β
"Where is sacred? In this atmosphere, the demon is almost ......"
Ji Ye pushed the cart and walked side by side with Li Guanqi on the dirt road of the barracks, looking for the figures of other soldiers while being vigilant about the environment around him that was changing all the time.
Ji Ye asked, "Where do you think the other soldiers will be now?" β
"Dorm, it's so late after all." "Even if someone who gets up at night discovers an anomaly in the barracks, I guess he'll choose to go back and discuss with the others, rather than be so stupid as to be scared and run around the camp β in that case, let's go meet them first and make sure they don't die, and then look for other clues." β
"No problem." Ji Ye nodded, she thought for a moment, and then continued: "But there is one thing that is very strange, that is, why is the painting style of this supernatural event Chinese horror? After all, if you look at the local cultural style, even if the ghost door is wide open, it should be the local characteristics, right? β
"I'm wondering about that......"
Li Guanqi thought so, her eyes fell on the couplet pasted on the white wall, and she was wondering and muttering at the same time, but before she had time to think about it, she suddenly heard some strange sounds from the house next to her.
It wasn't very loud, but it was unusually noticeable in the silence.
"Click-click-click-"
Himeba: "Sounds like someone is sharpening their knives. β
Li Guanqi added: "And the sound of rats punching holes......"
The two glanced at each other, and Ji Ye tilted his head and asked, "I'm fine, so do you want to go in and have a look?" β
Li Guanqi: "............"
Li Guanqi frowned, a little hesitant, afraid that this was a plot kill, but he thought that anyway, this type of game of horror decryption is also a knife to stretch out his head, and it is also a knife to shrink his head, and risks and benefits coexist, since this is the case, then go in and take a look.
Ji Ye put the cart in his hand in a position at the door that was particularly suitable for carrying away and running, and Li Guanqi took advantage of this effort to carefully push open the iron door of the next house.
The white light exploded in an instant, and Li Guanqi and Ji Ye, who followed him, instinctively closed their eyes by this sudden light, and when they opened their eyes again, they saw a small farm courtyard in the ancient style of a flower planter.
But before they had time to look, the two of them were shocked by the scene in front of them, the joints of their bodies became stiff at this moment, they held their breath, and even the soft sound of gasping was stuck in their throats, and they instinctively didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
A thick fishy smell rushed into their nostrils the moment the two pushed open the door.
In the small courtyard, there were two people, a man and a woman, with their backs to the door, each busy with their work in the courtyard.
Among them, the woman was sitting on a small dilapidated stone pier, sharpening the kitchen knife in her hand for a while, making regular noises.
The man, on the other hand, was standing in front of a chopping board, constantly lifting a rock the size of a skull, and smashing the pieces of flesh on the board with such a muffled sound of "coo, coo, coo".
The stench of death and decay filled the air.
There are carrion corpses everywhere, including the remains of cats, dogs, cows, sheep, people, and other creatures.
The exact number is unknown, but the piles of clothes piled up in the corners of the wall as high as a hill can tell that the number is definitely not a decimal number.
Li Guanqi: "............"
Himeba: "............"
Pupil Earthquake!
