The souls reported in the soul projector are generally very weary, and even the most powerful black knight has become amnesia.

"Let's put our things aside, I remember that we came to this forest and had our own mission!"

The Black Knight rummaged through the forest, and found traces in a field of dirt that he used to remember.

"This ...... Really, it's a bit of an exaggeration. ”

Blanton looked at the area for documentation.

The trees were cut down and neatly split into boards, and they were inserted into the ground like a blackboard.

Records began a long time ago, and in a normal world, the handwriting on these boards is history.

But here's the problem...... It's a world of mystery.

Everything in the soul projector has a mysteriousness that slowly grinds away.

As far as the eye can see, the plains within a radius of dozens of miles are blurred on the wooden boards used for recording.

The words were like they had been soaked in the rain, spreading out patches and stains, and they were useless......

"Strange...... I wrote it here, I remember it was here! ”

The Black Knight searched among the large pile of worn planks for the piece he had written down the other day.

Actually, he didn't know exactly how long 'the other day' was, he forgot.

It shouldn't have been that long ago, anyway, right?

"Ancestor ......?"

A mage stared blankly at the black knight and whispered.

The meaning of his words was well known to the scholars on the investigation team, who could find out when the planks had been forged.

It's so long ago that time has lost its meaning.

These planks are the stuff of the last civilization.

The Black Knight and the inhabitants present, they exist in the soul projector, so it needs to be understood.

The soul projector is a creation of a pre-civilization, and the Black Knight still has inhabitants...... I'm afraid it's also a pre-civilized person.

"Ancestor? What are you talking about? ”

When the black knight heard this, he was stunned and laughed: "Don't recognize your relatives indiscriminately!" I'm young, and I still have a ...... A? ”

As he spoke, he tried to recall his memory, and after three seconds he clapped his hands:

"That's right! I also have a fiancée who is waiting for me just outside the forest, and as long as I finish my mission, I will be able to go home. ”

"The quest is written on these things, and there is some kind of anomalous rule in the forest, and there is no way for outside items to stay in this place...... It's weird. ”

Ian frowned, as did the others.

'Something out there? ’

Also...... There are only two types of existence that can be reported in the soul projector.

Soul, magic.

In a word, whether it is the Black Knight or the inhabitants, they can survive in the soul projector, and they are themselves in a state of death.

Their flesh is equivalent to "outside objects", but the Black Knight is not aware of this.

He thought he was still alive, and at worst he could be resurrected.

That's the main problem.

- The current civilization does not know the "resurrection technique".

'It's okay...... There is light energy ......'

Ian suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and looked at the group of human souls in front of him who were not at all like normal people due to the wear and tear of their souls.

The Black Knight slowed down the loss of his soul by reinforcing his beliefs, as well as the reason for his own strength.

Even so, the flesh forged by magic has turned into a skeleton, after all, he needs to protect other people who can't move to fight.

He didn't know what era he came from and forgot about his mission.

He doesn't even understand what the 'outside' is, he divides the outside world from the inside he is familiar with, with the outside of the forest and the inside of the forest.

This is already a serious soul wear and tear that the memory is almost empty.

"The undead were lucky enough to get the soul projector, and the connection with the souls of the former civilizations inside the projector."

This also laid the groundwork for her resurrection plan, I am afraid that she wants to resurrect the souls of the former civilizations...... So he parted ways with Alice's Mansion. ”

"It's a pity...... Even so, a natural disaster is a natural disaster, a necromantic plague that symbolizes "death", how can it be allowed to be resurrected. ”

Ian summed up the experience of this long history.

The span is 300 years, and it all starts with a woman codenamed "The Undead", who studied puppetry under the Alice family.

After that, he gets the soul projector, goes his separate ways, and dies.

Ian also intends to resurrect the souls of former civilizations.

However, he thought that he should not need to speak, and the investigation team around him was already completely stunned.

"Ancestors...... That one... We are ......"

"Don't call me an ancestor, outsider! Bastard! I'm young and I have a fiancée! ”

The Black Knight was annoyed by a mage's nagging and began to make a big noise:

"Really...... Having said that, who are you? Is there something outside the forest, is our mission over? ”

He looked at the mage first, and the mage immediately lowered his head, looking like a good baby.

He looked at the other mages, the same as the others, only Blanton dared to look at him, but he was also dumb and silent.

At the center of all of them is Ian, who is aware of it.

The Black Knight looked at Ian, his tone full of anticipation:

"Outsider, I haven't seen an outsider in a long time, do you know what our specific mission is?"

"Our mission... Is it done......? ”

task

A task assigned to the Black Knight by a former civilization.

He misunderstood that Ian and the others were not people from the pre-civilization, and the pre-civilization had long been ignorant... How long ago it was destroyed.

He is like a ghost from history, suddenly appearing in the eyes of modern civilization.

But, listening to the anticipation in the Black Knight's words, Ian gave Blanton a look.

Blanton stepped forward and respectfully saluted the Black Knight and the others, and his tone was solemn:

"Ancestor, your mission is accomplished."

……

……

Time has passed, and now it is the turn of the present civilization to carry out their mission: to survive.

The ancestral souls of the former civilization have set off a wave in the town of Changmian.

"Is it really an ancestor?!"

"Gunpowder" The Redton craftsman's eyes widened, and he still had the wine he had bought from Ian.

Except for Ian, other adventurers or hunters can't help him brew wine, and in return, Renekton is in charge of the precision crafts (golems, living crystal golems...... work.

"It's definitely the ancestor, it was the president himself who said it, and the identity of the other party has been determined."

"It's just...... Due to the weakness of the ancestors' souls, their memories were so worn out that they could not even leave the black square. ”

A black square the size of a fist, quietly placed in the Temple of the Dawning Order, alongside another hourglass.

This was suggested by Blanton himself, and there was no suitable place for ancestral souls to live in the town of Long Sleep.

And...... Strictly speaking, ancestral souls don't need a place to live, they live in a soul projector, which has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, and there is no problem at all.

The cause of the bilunar anomaly has been discovered.

It is divided into two:

Eternal Night;

Bilunar vision.

The soul projector will absorb the magic on its own, turn on the projector, and let outsiders enter the ancient forest.

Now that it won't, Ian adjusts its settings.

However, the anomaly was not resolved.

They also need to find a way to "get rid of the garbage", the garbage left behind after turning on the projector.

The garbage caused the eternal night to happen, trapping Momiji Town in the night.

Started the final stage of the study, focusing on "garbage" to investigate the real treatment plan.

Garbage is similar to the Tier Universe, but it can't be solved by killing monsters, monsters can't be killed, and they are part of the pre-civilization plan.

"President, why are there puppets in the anomalous forest?"

Blanton was a little curious, he had only entered the anomalous forest twice, and there was no way to investigate the situation there.

Ian has figured this out:

"Maybe it's a coincidence, the puppet controlled by the necromantic plague died in the anomalous forest and was recorded."

The soul projector has the ability to record the dead, strictly speaking, it has only one logic -

'Prevent the dead from being polluted by the necromantic plague. ’

But it is clear that the soul projectors of pre-civilizations do not set a limit, that is, 'what to do with the tainted soul'.

They didn't think about it at all, and it ended up being recorded and saved by the projector on both sides.

"The souls of the former civilization need to be removed from the projector as soon as possible, otherwise they will still be damaged, but the magic power is sufficient, and the speed of damage is much better than before."

"Whether their souls will heal or not, no one can say, but even if they do, it will take a long time."

"Soul, we have begun to come into contact with the knowledge of the second stage, and the soul realm is no longer a secret."

"Taking 'puppetry' as the starting point, and using the soul retribution in the 'soul projector' as the center, the 'resurrection' was studied."

Ian's words were clear, and Blanton recorded what he said.

I have to admit that this is really a bold attempt, but it is just in line with their abilities.

"It's easy to solve the problem with garbage."

Blanton had just led the people to inspect it, and found that with the departure of the soul projector, the eternal night in the area gradually dissipated.

"The amount of garbage brought by the soul projection is small, and it took quite some time for it to accumulate before the Eternal Night anomaly occurred."

"Therefore, after the soul projector cancels the intermittent projection, the pollution has shown traces of dissipation, and we can speed up the purification by cleaning up the soul pollution."

Ian listened and nodded slightly.

It's good, this trip is not a problem of the level universe, but I am very lucky.

As soon as he thought of this, Ian was suddenly stunned, he frowned, and carefully thought about the task in the Black Knight's mouth.

"Could it be...!"

Ian looked up in surprise and looked at the moon in the sky.

He guessed for a moment what the task of the former civilization was.

"The Black Knights, and the inhabitants of the former civilizations...... Their mission is to ......"

The light of the moon shone on the edge of the window, casting a silver veil over the earth.

"Research...... ...... Bethymoth? ”

It's a terrifying guess that makes Ian feel a little creepy.

The Twin Moon Forest is an artificially created projection of the soul, but its location is more than that.

That area is not a regular forest, it can even be called a real soul country, but it is only a little bit exposed in reality.

After all...... The moon shining on the forest is abnormal!

The moon was split in two by the shadow of some huge object, and the shadow was probably a giant space station the size of the moon.

Neat in two?

Ian used silk thread to create a round hairball, which was snow-white in color.

Blanton watched his movements, and slightly understood that the ball represented the moon in the sky.

Afterwards.

Ian used the silk thread again to form a ring, like a human cuff, and he gently fastened the ring to the center of the furball.

The silk thread ring is black, and it is a quarter of the width of the hairball, and it is in the center, which is better to divide the hairball in two.

Blanton's expression instantly became surprised.

Ian and he looked at each other, both of them feeling indescribable.

"Brandon...... Do you think the 'Twin Moons' in the Twin Moon Forest, it doesn't look like this thing in my hand? ”

Blanton nodded stiffly.

Resemble! It's so similar!

But how big of a ring is it to envelop the entire moon and let the shadow cut the moon in half!

That anomalous ring is in the soul projector, and there are only three kinds of projections.

Moon, forest, mission personnel.

"Ancestors...... The Black Knight Ancestors' mission is to observe the moon in the sky in the Twin Moon Forest? ”

Blanton summed up this clue, originally he didn't pay much attention to the soul projector, but when Ian broadcast it, the inspiration in his brain exploded instantly.

"The moon has been sacrificed by the 'Demoting Ceremony'!"

He clenched his fists: "Our current moon is the moon of our ancestors. ”

"But...... The moon is there, but what about the ring?! ”

He raised his head high and looked at the moon in the sky, his heart mixed with horror and fear.

Yes! What about rings?

Where exactly is that ring and what does it do? Is it a cage of necromancy, or a weapon to destroy the moon?

But either way, the ring is not here! It's gone.

Its afterimage remains in the soul projector, which acts as a portal for all dead humans to stare at the moon and the giant rings in the sky.

Is this a wake-up call for the moon, or something else?

"President, we need to study the soul projector, we must find out where the 'ring' is!"

Brandon was emotional, he was just excited, he was going to be scared to death.

Anyone who hears that the celestial-sized artificial structure above their heads has disappeared, leaving no trace, must be scared to death.

……

The soul projector was turned on for the second time in one day.

This does not cause attrition internally, and the main attrition of the ancestral soul comes from the passage of time.

The soul is not immortal, the spirit is also depleted, and eventually the memory will turn to ashes, just like the current state of the ancestral souls.

"Hello! People outside the forest! ”

The Black Knight waved to Ian, "What do we need... Can I help? The residents can't, they're a little dumbfounded...... Haha, forgive me. ”

Ian and Blanton looked up at the twin moons in the sky.

After a long time, compared to the vision of eternal night, the double moon in the sky is the real anomaly.

This round does not have a strong sense of existence, but occupies the main position of the moon and rings...

"What level of universe is this......?"

Blanton's visceral question.

There is no doubt that the soul projector is connected to a certain level of the universe.

It is not the violence of the "Phantasmal Star Breaker" to dismantle the reality cube and enter the dimensional universe.

The Soul Projector is exactly linked to the Dimensional Universe on the first floor, and it is also the identity of the Key.

Here's the problem...... They had no idea which level of the universe was being linked to by the projector.

"President, can we explore this inside?"

Blanton asked.

Ian shook his head in denial: "No, only people in the soul state can act in the soul projector." ”

He looked at the Black Knight, "Am I right?" Knight. ”

"That's right!"

The Black Knight cheerfully replied, "You can leave the task to us!" It's our old business! ”

"Uh...... But I wanted to rest for a few days, and it could be a sign that my soul was severely worn, so I couldn't rest. ”

"Leave it to me what you want!"

He's trying to fight death.

Ian had promised to find a way to resurrect them, and it wasn't difficult to have souls and the necromancy weak.

"In that case......

Ian nodded, assigning the task to the Black Knight.

"Huh? Studying the Moon? But I don't have a ...... Planetarium? It seems to be called this name. ”

The planetarium is supposed to be an astronomical telescope of a pre-civilization.

"It's nothing, there's no trick."

The soul projector has the ability to magically convert matter, and Ian needs to bring in the craftsmen of Eternal Sleep to design a complete telescope drawing.

The rings on the moon were simply named "moon rings" by Ian.

It must have a deep connection with the scourge of the dead!

……

Ian left the soul projector.

The bi-monthly anomaly is officially over, and the eternal night garbage left behind by the projection has begun to be cleaned up.

Puppetry, this requires the cooperation of Ms. Duja.

But this tuba Alice, although not hostile, is not an easy type to touch.

It needs to start with Alice.

Ian finds Alice, who was badly injured last time, but he learned puppetry from a stealth mission.

Skill points! Anyway, you have to learn, and if you click on puppetry, you will understand the basic maintenance ability.

Alice is making grizzly bears.

She heard the door open and looked back to see Ian.

She holds her hands and has a temperament of a truly aristocratic lady. The ten fingers have been healed, and not only that, but all the parts in the body have been repaired.

Ian is better than all the puppeteers of the past when it comes to learning.

Alice even wants to give what she knows to Ian, but unfortunately she can only think about it, she is not a genius, nor is she a teacher.

I wanted to teach Ian, but after saying it for most of the day, Ian didn't understand a word, let alone learn advanced skills.

"Gatekeeper, when are we going to find my mother?"

Alice asked.

"At any time, Ms. Dujia has no substantial connection with the bilunar anomaly, only a small connection."

Ian said that he knew that Ms. Duggard was not simple, but the last few times she tried it, Ms. Duggard did not show hostility to him once.

This only shows that there is a secret in the puppet technique, and it is not the type that he can access, and Ms. Duggard does not want to tell him.

It's a normal act of secrecy, Ian can understand, and he will make good use of it.

Alice always felt that Ian's smile was ill-intentioned.
