Chapter 127: Unspeakable Detainees!
Rorschach wasn't surprised that there was something wrong with the City of Wild Sands.
If this is no problem, it will not even be possible for a second-ring morning star sent by the Prison Master Mansion of the Thirteenth Blood Prison to lose his news, and it is impossible for him to directly hang up the meritorious mission on the side of the [Prison Court] and be received by him.
What really surprised Rorschach was that Pierre didn't realize the problem!
He had just asked Pierre, not to get any useful information from him, but to see if Pierre, the Morning Star of the Three Rings, had been affected by the City of Wild Sands.
As it turned out, his concerns were correct, and Pierre was really affected!
This proves that the special situation of the city of wild sand may be even more dangerous than this quest seems on the surface!
Pierre's side also noticed that Rorschach frowned slightly after asking him, obviously having some doubts about his answer, and his reaction was faster than Rorschach thought, and immediately asked in a low voice:
"Am I being affected?"
Rorschach raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Pierre to guess.
If he had been caught up in some kind of influence and had not been able to find any problems, he might not have reacted as quickly as Pierre.
However, seeing that Pierre himself had already guessed it, he nodded and said, "Not bad." β
"Don't tell me what's going on yet, we'll talk about it later." Pierre didn't have much mood swing when he heard this, but just nodded in the same way.
It seems that this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.
This made Rorschach a little out of the way.
After following Alice to the hotel she had told them about and checking in, Pierre arrived at Rorschach's room in a hurry.
But he took out a pitch-black stone and put it on the tea table in the room, and then he saw a black curtain of light gradually spread outward from the pitch-black stone, until it covered the entire room!
"Now I can say it." Pierre sat aside.
"Didn't you notice a problem when you entered the city?" Rorschach no longer concealed his words when he heard this, and asked directly.
"When you enter the city?" Pierre recalled.
But he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he shook his head and said, "I really didn't find it, you can tell me-"
"Do you think it's normal that no one left here during the whole time we entered the city, and it didn't disappear from our view until the city gate disappeared?" Rorschach stared at Pierre.
"What's so strange about this, since you've all come here, why do you want to leave ...... again" Pierre's words were halfway through, when suddenly the whole person stopped in place, and after his brows twitched slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, it was still affected." β
"It seems that you are out of that state." Rorschach understood that Pierre's previous reaction was influenced in some way, so there was a problem with cognition, and he did not notice that something was so obviously wrong.
As the core of the Wild Sand Domain, the City of Wild Sand is similar to the City of Black Bone in the Black Bone Domain, or the City of Joy in the Happy Domain.
A hinterland like this has always been crowded.
Even if it is as gloomy as the city of bones, and the pervert is as happy as the city.
At first glance, this city of wild sand was no different from those two cities, and the city gate was also crowded with people, and it took them half a day to enter the city.
But herein lies the problem!
It's a city that you can't get in!
The first time Rorschach noticed this, he just wondered if it would happen that no one left during that time period, but the whole process of their entry into the city until they were far away from the city gate, not even one left here for such a long time, this is definitely a situation that Rorschach has never seen before!
Thinking of the Morning Star wizards who came and lost contact, as well as Alice's father, who hadn't heard from her for more than two months, it was not difficult for Rorschach to make a judgment - all of these things were connected!
After noticing this, Rorschach immediately asked Pierre if he had noticed anything unusual, but Pierre said no.
This made Rorschach realize that Pierre was afraid that he had also been tricked.
As for why he himself didn't get hit, he wasn't surprised, because when he stepped into the Legendary Realm, his will had already left an imprint in the depths of Purgatory.
If you want to affect his cognition, unless you can affect the little imprint he has in purgatory, it will only make him realize the problem more quickly.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be the first time Pierre has encountered this situation, even if he doesn't realize what is wrong with his cognition, but he has a lot of experience in coping with it.
After Rorschach pointed out the problem, he finally relied on his own will and the power of the witch spirit to successfully reverse his cognition.
"Alas, I knew that I would have to encounter this kind of as soon as I came out, why can't you stop for a while, so let's wait for the end of my leading mission." Pierre rubbed the wings of his nose and returned to his lifeless state.
"So you already know what's going on here?" Rorschach could tell Pierre what he should know.
"What else can it be, there is another 'Wei Clan' running out." Pierre collapsed directly on the chair, and said weakly.
"Stranger?"
Rorschach realized that this was another concept that he had not yet been exposed to.
Pierre was not surprised by this, after all, his identity was Rorschach's guide, and Rorschach didn't need him to know everything, so he immediately looked at Rorschach and said, "You should know the duties of the [Prison Court], right?" β
"You mean the caretaker?" Rorschach Road.
"Hmm." Pierre nodded, "The Boundless Blood Prison, or the entire Blood Prison World Group, is essentially a huge prison...... And down to us, the probationary jailers, and up to the chief warden, are the caretakers of this huge prison, and I think you should know all this. β
Rorschach nodded again.
"So why do you think this huge prison exists, and what does it hold?" Pierre continued.
"You're saying it's the Weird people who are being imprisoned?" Combined with the situation before this conversation, Rorschach immediately guessed what Pierre meant.
However, in response to his speculation, Pierre said something that made him a little confused: "Yes and no. β
βοΌβ
"The Wei clan is indeed imprisoned, but only incidentally, what the Boundless Blood Prison really imprisons is a terrifying existence that cannot be mentioned." Pierre said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean by can't be mentioned, can you make it clear at once, it's just the two of us here, are you still afraid of being heard?" Rorschach Road.
"It's not that I can't say it clearly, it's that I can't say it clearly."
Pierre said helplessly, "The reason why I can't mention it is because even the name of the terrifying existence that was imprisoned has been sealed by the Boundless Blood Prison, except for a very few wizards with a high enough personality, even if they originally knew it, they couldn't remember its name, and even if they heard it, they would forget it." β
Rorschach had already reacted at this time, Pierre was not selling off to himself, but he himself didn't know more about the situation.
I only know that there is a terrifying existence imprisoned in the Boundless Blood Prison, and I basically don't know anything about the specific information of that terrifying existence.
"Does that have anything to do with the Strange Clan you just mentioned?" Rorschach asked again.
"Of course there is, because the Aliens are the ones born from the dreams of that terrifying being." Pierre's tone was heavy.
"In a dream...... A family born of it? Rorschach was shocked.
Along the way, he has seen too many incredible things, and even he himself has stepped into the morning star, becoming the incredible in his eyes.
But when he heard what Pierre had just said, he still had an unimaginable feeling.
What kind of terrifying existence is it, it is necessary to use the Boundless Blood Prison to imprison it, so that the entire Blood Prison World Group becomes a part of the prison, and even its name cannot be remembered, and it is sealed together?
Even its dreams can give birth to a race!
"Actually, the influence of that terrifying existence is far more than that." Pierre then continued.
"For example?"
"For example, have you ever wondered why among the six major wizard world groups, only the Blood Hell World Group has ubiquitous ghosts?" Pierre asked.
"The treachery also has something to do with that existence?!" Rorschach was shocked again.
"Well, if the Trick is the embodiment of the dream of that terrifying being, then the Mystery is the synthesis of its power escaping."
Pierre revealed to Rorschach the greatest secret of the Blood Prison, "The most inconspicuous sporadic power that escapes will become a dangerous ghost, and the relatively largest number of forces will become a world-destroying ghost, nothing more." β
"So you mean to say that whether it's the ubiquitous ghosts of the Blood Hell World Group or the strange clans that have been sealed by the way, they are just the products of the ripples caused by the unconsciousness of that terrifying being?" Rorschach concluded.
"Not bad." Pierre nodded.
What is horror?
It's called horror!
Rorschach had always used horror as a meme, but when Pierre revealed the biggest secret of this blood prison, he really couldn't think of a better way to describe it than horror.
As for the existence of the treacherous, Rorschach has always thought that it is a product of nature.
Because although the paradox is terrifying and has the characteristics of immortality, the paradox itself has no self-consciousness at all.
It's like the embodiment of some rules.
However, Pierre's words overturned his perception, and it was only then that he understood why only the Bloodhell World Group could be born of the Shadowy.
It turns out that all of this is related to the terrifying existence that was imprisoned!
"What about the unknown level of the Wizardry?" Rorschach suddenly remembered Little David's 'big white', and immediately asked again.
"You really know everything." Pierre rolled his eyes.
Rorschach was a little embarrassed: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the Wei clan." β
Pierre continued: "The situation of the Strange Race is somewhat different from that of the Strange Clan, although they were born from that terrifying being, but they have a sense of self, which is why they are called the Clan. β
Rorschach nodded, motioning for Pierre to continue.
Pierre added: "Although the Strange Clan was born in the dream of that terrifying being, for some unknown reasons, they can break away from the dream and appear in reality, and occasionally use the power of that terrifying existence to escape from the area where the terrifying existence is imprisoned and come to the outside world!" β
Rorschach said, "You mean they escaped through the treacherous?" β
"Not bad." Pierre nodded, "They will escape to the outside world by fusing with the power of that terrifying being, and when they fuse, they will become the brains of the treacherous beings!" β
"Isn't this like a ghostly walker?" Rorschach Road.
"The Trickster can only turn into a semi-Trickster form at best, and the power that can often be exerted may not be stronger than that of the contained Trickster before it was contained."
Pierre shook his head and said, "But the Trick Clan is different, they were born from that terrifying existence, so there is no obstacle to their integration with the Trick, not only can they perfectly control everything about the Trick, but they can even exert some power that the Trick itself may not be able to exert!" β
"And most importantly, the Trickster will die, once it is temporarily separated from the contained Trick by an external force, it can be killed, so that the contained Trick becomes an ordinary Trick without self-will, but after the Trick Clan fuses the Trick, they become Trickster!"
"That's the biggest difference between them and the Tricksters."
When Pierre said this, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Now you can understand why I reacted the way before, because these ghosts are really troublesome, as long as they appear in the outside world, they will do everything to destroy everything in the Blood Hell World Group, just to release that terrifying existence." β
"So...... If you can deal with a strange clan, the merit point should not be low. After listening to this, Rorschach suddenly asked.
"I've been telling you for a long time, it's such a troublesome thing, all we have to do is find a way to get out of this city and ask for help."
Pierre said angrily, "As long as it is confirmed that there is a Wei clan here, there will naturally be official jailers and even higher-level [Prison Court] members coming, this is their duty, not ours, can you not die." β
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Rorschach smiled.
Pierre saw at a glance that Rorschach was perfunctory, and suddenly his head became even bigger, so he had to say: "I can tell you, once I confirm the existence of the Wei Clan, I will immediately flee desperately, if you want to die, I can't hold you, but don't expect me to die with you." β
"Got it, don't be so verbose."
Rorschach shook his head and smiled.
Of course, he was really perfunctory to Pierre.
If the trouble in the city of wild sand is some powerful wizard, Rorschach may indeed consider retreating first.
The terrifying existence that was imprisoned did subvert many of Rorschach's previous perceptions and brought him a great shock.
However, that doesn't mean he should be afraid of the Terrans.
His current strength allowed him to defeat the second-ring morning stars such as the Black Bone Wizard, but he also understood that there was still a big gap with Pierre.
But when it comes to dealing with the subtlety, even if Pierre is the abyss wizard of the three-ring Morning Star, most of them are not as good as him.
Because the most troublesome part of the treacherous has always been their rules, and what Rorschach is best at is breaking the rules!
Even if the Trickster can become a Trick with its own will, in the final analysis, the root of its power is still Trick, which is the source of Rorschach's confidence!
It's just that he can't tell Pierre about this, because it involves the Pupil of Hell, which is a secret that he won't tell anyone.
"Let's go, let's go find out what happened to that guy who is suspected of being a stranger." Pierre stood up and put away the blackstone.
Rorschach nodded, not saying anything more.
Because he also understands that, as he is now, Pierre must have a lot more experience than he is.
At this time, all he had to do was learn more from Pierre.
β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later.
Pierre took Rorschach to a tailor's shop and said to Rorschach, "The number of members on the periphery of the [Prison Court] is actually far greater than you think, and many of them are not even Morning Star and have never been to Bloodprison Islandβ"
As he spoke, Pierre had already pushed open the door of the tailor's shop.
"Welcome, do you want to customize the dress?" A little old man with half-white hair greeted him with a smile.
It looks like the owner of this tailor's shop.
"We're coming from [Prison Court], close the door, and ask you something." Pierre said to the tailor shopkeeper.
The owner of the tailor shop was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but even though he showed an extremely excited look, he replied again and again: "Yes, I'm going to close the door!" β
Before he could finish speaking, he trotted to close early.
This simple and rude way of communication, Rorschach was a little speechless, "So that's how you usually report your home directly?" β
"What if it weren't?" Pierre rightfully said.
"There's no connector code or something?" Rorschach asked.
"What are you doing with all that mess, who would dare to pretend to be someone from the [Prison Court] in the Blood Prison?" Pierre shook his head and said, "Besides, even if there really is such a person, can a guy like that guy just now keep a secret in front of that person, and he doesn't have to explain it all with a little means." β
ββ¦β¦β
Although he felt a bit simple and crude, Rorschach had to admit that what Pierre said made sense.
The tailor shop owner just now was just a mid-level wizard apprentice, and a random ring of morning stars could make him spit out whatever his ancestors called for the eighteenth generation, where could he hide any secrets.
Rorschach was purely influenced by some concepts in his previous life, so he felt that there was such a thing as a docking code.
"[Prison Court] really hasn't forgotten my Werner clan, if only my father could see this scene!" The tailor shop owner had also returned by this time, still as excited as before, and almost burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about those useless things, I'll ask you something, and you can answer truthfully." Pierre said to the tailor shop owner.
"Your Excellency, you say!" The tailor shop owner immediately complimented.
"How long has it been since you've been out of here?" Pierre asked.
"Where are you leaving, in the store?" The tailor shop owner asked, somewhat uncertain.
"Who asked you this, I mean it's been a long time since you've left the city of wild sands." Pierre continued.
"Isn't the city of wild sand bad, why should I leave here?" The tailor shop owner is triggered by an automatic dialogue mechanism, and his answer is the same as Pierre's answer to Rorschach before.
It's just that Pierre at that time quickly reversed his cognition, and the tailor shop owner in front of him was impossible.
