In addition to Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island also has several small towns and small harbors surrounding forest parks.
Because it is far away from the bustling area, except for tourism, other industries are not well developed. There is no light and heavy industry, and the rural customs are close to nature. Compared with larger cities and prosperous areas, the small towns here are simple and simple. Except for a few star-rated hotels, most of the buildings are low-rise two- or three-story single-family apartments.
However, no matter how simple and simple a modern apartment is, it is still different from a private house in the 18th century.
The earth’s population exploded in the 21st century, and the land was very expensive. Although there were not many permanent residents on Mount Desert Island, the architectural style was still practical and focused on the use of three-dimensional space. It was similar to the architecture of the first industrial revolution in the 18th century. The style is very different.
But now in front of everyone, the country town below the cliff is obviously not in the style of modern architecture. Modern buildings are mostly reinforced concrete structures, but most of the buildings in this small town can see log pillars and obvious wooden beam structures.
Although some houses in modern western buildings still retain fireplaces, most of them are electrical structures, and charcoal is no longer burned to reduce smoke emissions, so chimneys are replaced by exhaust pipes. As for the buildings in this small town, every household has a square chimney built with bricks and stones on the roof, and most of them are now emitting smoke.
"Illusion? Or have you traveled through time and space again?" Hill and the others immediately checked the information in the apostle's soul seal, but they soon found that there was no hint in it.
"Look at the clothes of those townspeople!" Hansen observed for a while, then handed the telescope in his hand to others.
"If these townspeople are all entities, then I'm afraid we will be in trouble!" Hill looked at it for a while, put down his binoculars, and said expressionlessly.
In the field of vision of the binoculars, all the townspeople he saw were dressed in strange costumes. Although Hill didn't know much about fashion, he could at least tell the difference between their wide-sleeved linen shirts and wide-hip bloomers, which were very different from modern clothes.
They can only stay in this world for seven days, and it is already the third day, but they haven't found any trace of Qin Lun. This is not a good start.
"We have no retreat!" Hansen came from behind. As the king of mercenaries, he was very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.
When everyone was observing the small town at the foot of the mountain just now, he scouted in the opposite direction, and found that the way they came here yesterday was completely different. They are currently in a sparse grove, not the original forest when they came.
"There is no hint in the soul seal, which means that we haven't left, at least we haven't completely left the original world." Hill squatted down, grabbed a handful of weeds and soil, and felt the feeling in the palm of his hand, "Everything here is too If it’s too real, I’m afraid it’s not a dream or an illusion, so it seems that this place should be an environment similar to a space-time loophole?”
No matter how real the illusion is, the details cannot be compared with reality.
The minds and souls of Hill and others are protected by the broken starry sky. As long as the superstring space is not specially targeted at them, there is almost no other world law that can deceive the apostle's soul seal. inside the illusion.
"Space-time gap? You mean an environment similar to Bermuda?" Rand asked in surprise.
In the Bermuda waters of the earth world, there are magical legends about passages through time and space.
It is said that at a specific time and a specific place, Bermuda will generate a space-time channel. People who stray into it will either go back to the past and the future, or go through space cracks to reach other mirror worlds on the earth.
"Well, Arcadia may be an overlapping point where multiple time and space converge, which can explain why those mysterious forces did not appear here before, but several mysterious forces suddenly appeared last night." Hill said solemnly.
"But... Could the timing be a bit of a coincidence?" Grant asked curiously.
"It's not surprising. Since the superstring space chooses this space-time point to release the reincarnation, it means that various wonderful historical plots will happen at this time." Rand shrugged and spread his hands.
"But we are not reincarnations selected by the superstring space." Hansen said coldly, turning his eyes to Qin Mei who was aside, "Qin Lun's sister, you'd better explain what plot line that world keepsake inherited, That’s why it’s the right time to choose.”
The so-called world token is not born randomly, its function is to let the apostle or reincarnation return to a certain mission world.
Since Broken Starry Sky and Superstring Space choose to condense such things, it means that after returning with the world token, they will definitely be connected with a certain plot line or a specific plot character.
"Don't worry, everything is under control." Qin Mei looked up at the sky and said softly, "This is our destination. This place is called the Shadow of Time and Space. land… "
"No, you were not the one who proposed to come to Arcadia. Why do you know that Arcadia will produce this space-time shadow?" Hansen asked vigilantly.
"The distribution of the shadows of time and space is irregular. I entered this world before, not the shadows of time and space that I encountered in Arcadia." Qin Mei shook her head, "However, I know the mysterious power that I have encountered before. , will definitely lead me to the location of the Shadow of Time and Space, because only here, it will have a chance to kill a high-level powerhouse."
"The mysterious power you have encountered?" Hill looked at Qin Mei suspiciously.
"Well, it's a mysterious force called Death." After entering the Shadow of Time and Space, Qin Mei seemed to let go of most of her worries and stopped hiding from Hill and the others. At the bifurcation of the world, the two world laws are competing for the control of the world's origin, and the participation of the reincarnation is to make this transition a smooth transition.
The Grim Reaper is the most powerful mysterious force in the process of producing magical laws. He dominates the wheel of fortune in this world, also known as the thread of karma. It's just that his power is not strong at present, and he can only harvest souls through some secular tools.
If it is against ordinary people, His strength is as unbreakable as a god, but against mid-level and high-level powerhouses, it is useless to skillfully use secular tools. Our physical fitness is far beyond the scope of His control.
But because of the rules of its mysterious power, He couldn't fail to fulfill his responsibilities, so He had no choice but to lure me into this kind of shadow of time and space. The binding force on him here is even weaker, and it is possible to kill me. "
Qin Mei said with a smile, "And this is also my purpose, because only here can we create the environment we need and break the psychological defense line of brother."
"How do you know that Qin Lun's personality will also come in?" Hill and the others were skeptical.
"This is inevitable. After all, this world is a low-magic world, and the power of Death God is not strong. He can't control the changes in the shadow of time and space while dealing with other people outside. That's why he put all the target people All of them will be attracted to Arcadia, and then they will be wiped out to reduce energy consumption."
Qin Mei laughed mockingly, "He doesn't need to worry about being exposed to the mass media here, as long as everyone is dead. Even if there are one or two who slip through the net, the mass media will treat them as crazy."
"But in this way, wouldn't the difficulty of the reincarnated person's task be greatly increased?" Hill asked suddenly with a strange expression.
The reincarnators in this world originally only needed to protect those plot characters from various accidents. But once they enter the Shadow of Time and Space, God knows how difficult their task will be without the restraint of death.
"Hee hee, then wish them good luck!" Qin Meijiao smiled and ran down the mountain.
This cliff is not too steep, and the steep slope is at a 45-degree angle. For Hill and others, it is not difficult to go down the mountain.
"Mr. Rand, what is this place? Can we still find Susan?" Karin asked softly after hiding in the woods outside the town with a few apostles. Don't understand your environment.
"It's not clear yet, but I believe that Susan should have been captured here. Look at the clothes of the people in the town, are they similar to the one you saw?" Rand explained with a smile .
"The style is somewhat similar!" Karin whispered, the man she saw was dressed as a gentleman, and most of these people in the small town were poor people who passed on linen clothes, but they were outdated compared to modern clothes.
"Put these on. I stole them from the hotel in the small town. The style is very common and no one will notice!" Qin Mei, who left first, came back soon and brought everyone a few sets of old clothes. They can more easily blend into the town without arousing suspicion.
"So, those townspeople are all flesh-and-blood humans!" Hill held his clothes and sighed, completely convinced that this place was no longer an illusion.
"Since the earth is the background, have you found out where this place is?" Rand asked Qin Mei softly.
"I told you that you wouldn't believe it, but this is a British colonial town in the interior of South Carolina, called Monte!" Qin Mei showed a mischievous smile.
"South Carolina?"
South Carolina is thousands of miles away from Maine, almost reaching the southernmost tip of the eastern United States, while Maine is the northernmost tip of the eastern United States. The Shadow of Time and Space jumped so far all of a sudden, and everyone couldn't help complaining.
"Should we be grateful that we are still on the North American continent?"
"Qin Mei, have you found out the whereabouts of Susan and the murderer?" Karin asked anxiously.
"I haven't started to inquire about this, but this town is basically full of poor immigrants and laborers. It should be easy to find a weirdo dressed as a gentleman." Qin Mei showed a smile on her face.
