The night was getting darker.
According to Selena, the first batch of explorers who entered the No. 1 sandbox to check the situation were attacked after dark.
Gao Wen stood in front of the house, looking up at the clear and bright night sky in the desert area. He looked calm and calm on the surface, but he was secretly mobilizing his perception of the surroundings and mobilizing various arrangements.
Until now, nothing unusual has happened, and no one has been polluted. Duvalte and Naritil are resting in a house not far behind, while the three of Selena are keeping vigilant, taking turns Stay in the house on duty.
It seemed like it would be a night to pass in peace.
The desert was quite cold after nightfall, but the temperature did not affect Gao Wen. He took a deep breath to let the icy air cool his mind. feel admiration
Such a real wind, such a real chill, the vast land, the twinkling stars, everything is real, how long did it take them to create such a fake world, and the beings living in this world... How long did it take to realize the existence of the box boundary
Feeling something in his heart, Gawain collected his scattered thoughts, turned his head and looked at the door, and Naritil, whose long white hair almost reached her ankles, quietly opened the door and walked out. She stepped on the ground with bare feet, walking There is almost no sound, but it doesn't know how to hide its breath.
"Are you awake?" Gawain asked casually, looking at this weird girl.
Naritil quickly looked up at Gawain, nodded slightly, and then came to a place not far from the door, and sat down on the floor, with her hands on her knees, looking up at the sky absentmindedly.
Although he always thought that the other party was weird and suspected that the other party was the minion of the upper-level narrator or a dangerous mind wandering in the No. 1 sandbox, Gawain couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Look at the stars." The white-haired girl sitting on the ground said softly.
"... It can be seen," Gao Wen was a little speechless for a while, and said with a little embarrassment, "You don't sleep at night, just to run out to look at the stars?"
Naritil was silent for a while, before hesitating to speak again: "Look... the stars."
Gao Wen: "..."
He suspected that there was some kind of communication barrier between himself and the other party, but after hesitating for a while, he stood next to Naritil and asked seemingly casually: "How did you and Duvalte meet? You and him are just Travel companion?"
"... a traveling companion," Naritil replied very slowly and briefly, making it hard to understand, but at least he was answering Gawain's question, "I don't remember."
"I don't remember exactly how we met?" Gawain understood the other party's trivial and vague answer while guiding the other party to say more things, "Then how long have you been wandering here?"
"Many... many years," Naritel said.
"Do you also believe in the upper narrator?"
"... I don't know," Naritel shook his head, "I don't remember."
"You've been wandering here all these years? Has Duarte told you what the purpose of wandering is? Do you have anything to do?"
Naritil was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Look at the stars."
When Gawain was guessing what the other party meant by the wrong answer, he heard Naritil add another sentence: "You interrupted me to watch the stars."
Gao Wen: "..."
It seemed that the communication could not continue. Gawain could only sigh regretfully, and judged that Naritel must have some mental problems, and his memory and thinking ability were obviously lower than that of ordinary people.
At this moment, a flame suddenly appeared in his sight.
In front of the temple in the distance, guarded by many pillars and stone statues, which has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, a large-scale bonfire suddenly appeared at some point. The blazing flame rose from the temple square, and it was submerged just a moment ago. The buildings in the dark night were instantly illuminated by the bright flames, and then more and more fires or lights appeared on the top of the stone pillars around the temple, on the streets far and near, and in every household. Inside the residence!
The whole city seems to be waking up fast to the lights!
Gawain stared wide-eyed at the rapidly spreading lights in the city, then suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Naritil
Naritel, who was sitting there just a second ago looking up at the starry sky, had disappeared at some point.
Gawain couldn't even lock onto the changes in her aura at all, and couldn't detect when and how she left (or disappeared)!
But he was already mentally prepared to face the weird situation, and there was no surprise at this moment. He saw the door behind him being pushed open suddenly, and the red-haired Archbishop Magnum rushed out of it in one step: "That man named Du Walter's old man is gone!"
"I know," Gawain replied lightly, "It's not just that Naritil is missing too."
Magnum stared, and noticed the lights that were constantly lighting up in various parts of the city, his loud voice suddenly exploded: "All the ancestors of my family!! What's going on?"
Yuri and Selena also came out of the house. They had already heard the conversation between Magnum and Gawain outside the house. The lights that quickly spread in the city reflected on their faces. Selena could only look at After taking a look, he turned his head to look at Gao Wen: "Is this what you've been waiting for?"
"It seems that its patience is worse than I imagined," Gawain nodded, "Get ready, the upper-level narrator is here."
Almost at the same time that Gao Wen's voice fell, on the distant street, in the shadows between the houses, and between the light and shadow boundaries created by flickering lights everywhere, countless creepy shadows suddenly emerged from the air !
Those large and small shadows crawled on the ground and moved quickly along the ground. At first, they looked like mist rising and falling at the border of the lights. It wasn't until some shadows got close that Gawain realized what they were. They were spiders. Countless A spider crawling on the ground in the form of a shadow!
Countless shadows move under the illumination of the lights, and stretch or shorten from time to time as the angle of light changes, as if there are invisible "real" spiders crawling close to the ground. He cast a strange shadow, and the moment he saw those shadow spiders, Gawain suddenly thought of a sentence Duwart said to himself:
"There are a lot of spiders here at night, but don't worry, they are all gentle and harmless, and will actively avoid people..."
These things don't look harmless at all now.
Yuri opened his hands in an instant, and countless golden runes circled and danced to protect everyone, and the soft and warm lights enveloped the audience. Selina Geer, who was holding a lantern, took a step forward, shining the lantern Suddenly, all the shadows crawling on the ground were fading rapidly, and then, Magnum opened his hands, and his thunderous voice suddenly burst:
"Psychostorm!!"
The powerful magic power gathered in an instant and turned into a dim halo that spread in all directions. Wherever the halo passed, all the spider shadows stopped for a short while, and a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere filled the entire block.
Extremely effective calming aura, high-level spiritual spells, can appease all mental units, including enemies and allies.
But it couldn't deal with Yuri, who was in a state of great consternation. The gentle archbishop with a monocle almost exclaimed: "Where's your spiritual storm?!"
"Damn it! I forgot I had replaced it with a calming halo!" Magnum yelled.
It was probably the first time in his life that the gentle Archbishop Yuri yelled in such a gaffe: "You barbarian! Don't you usually use your subconscious to cast spells!!"
"I used to be the Priest of the God of War, I am used to relying on my subconscious to cast spells, what can I do?!"
"Don't use this as an excuse, it's not that I don't know normal Priests of the God of War!"
The quarrel between the two archbishops from behind made Gawain a little stunned for a moment. He never expected that there would be such a talent in the dark sect. These two made him think of Philip and Byron. He even felt that if Yuri and Magnum arrived in Cecil, they might become national first-class comedians within a year...
But a warm and clear light interrupted all the chaos. The lantern in Selina's hand was shining with a strong brilliance, and her voice seemed to have some kind of power that could penetrate the endless curtain: "Quiet! Yuri, Mag Nan, you are affected!
"The night here is amplifying your character flaws and negative thoughts, and confusing your judgment!"
Yuri and Magnum, who were about to get into a quarrel, were affected by Selena's lantern and awakened by her words. They suddenly opened their eyes wide, and instantly realized the slight pollution and erosion.
In the next second, abnormally powerful spiritual energy erupted centered on Magnum, setting off a real "storm" in the entire building and in a rather large area around it.
At the same time, more shadows are still gathering in all directions, and more lights are lighting up the streets and alleys of Nim Sandro. Light and shadow seem to form an intertwined grid line, with the temple area as the center, It spread throughout the city, even spread out of the city strangely, and spread to the entire desert...
Looking down from the air, Nim Sandro and a large area around it are covered by this web of light and shadow, like a spider web, and the small spiritual storm set off by Magnum is located in the center of this huge spider web, like A struggling flying insect is like a prisoner in a spider's web...
In the darkness not far away from Nim Sandro, on a strange mountain standing abruptly in the desert like an upside-down limb, an old paper lantern suddenly pierced the darkness, and reflected in the dim light The figures of Duvalte and Naritil appeared.
The former was holding a lantern and was quietly looking in the direction of Nim Sandro, while the city was completely covered by a huge spider web, and there were huge spider shadows slowly patrolling the edge of the web, while the latter was sitting on the ground , holding his knees with his hands, and continued to look up at the sky in a trance, watching the starry sky simulated by the sandbox.
"The last predation has begun, Naritil," Duvalt said in a low and soft voice, "won't you come and see?"
Naritil sat unmoved, and said with stubbornness as if angry: "I want to watch the stars."
Duarte frowned: "It's all fake, what's so good about it."
"But to me... it's true..."
Duwart frowned and glanced at Naritil, then slowly shook his head: "It doesn't matter. After the predation, there is the real starry sky waiting for us."
Naritil was silent for a long time under the night sky, and then suddenly muttered softly: "Cake, it's delicious, wine, it's not good."
Duarte didn't hear clearly for a while: "What did you say?"
Naritel did not speak again.
Duarte looked down at Naritil for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly: "...it doesn't matter anymore."
Then he retracted his gaze and looked in Nim Sandro's direction again, looking at the final predation place after the end of the world.
The net woven by the upper-level narrators will eventually catch the glimmer of light from reality...
The shock waves of the psychic storm raged between the streets, wantonly tearing apart the world supported by dreams, the shadows of countless spiders were wiped out in the energy surge, and even the nearby houses and stone floors were turned into nothingness after several storms. The debris dissipated.
However, the shadows are endless, and the lights in the city of Nim Sandro lit up a large area of the night sky. In the dim starry night sky, there were larger and more abstract shadows gathering, as if some kind of giant predators. Approaching the temple area like a beast.
"These things are weird and can't be killed!" Magnum shouted loudly in the center of the storm. "They must have a source, hidden somewhere we can't see!"
Yuri maintained the protection of the golden runes, and also raised his voice: "We should find a way to leave this city, this whole city is probably a trap!"
While trying to deal with those spider shadows and the ubiquitous mental pollution, Yuri and Magnum also turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction where Gawain was.
The upper narrators have already started to do something, the wanderers outside the domain... Shouldn't there be something to do? !
"Isn't it time for you to take action?!" Magnum couldn't help shouting, "We won't last long"
Gawain was standing not far from Magnum and Yuri, beside Selina Gelfen. From the beginning to the end, he didn't make any movements, just quietly watching the shadows strike, watching As Magnum and the others launched a counterattack, they quietly observed the chaos as if it had nothing to do with them.
His quietness caught Selina's attention, and it also made Yuri and Magnum more nervous.
What are the Outlander rogues waiting for? Why hasn't he acted yet
Gawain finally exhaled softly when such doubts intensified and were about to shake Magnum's confidence.
"I see… "
(Mom!!!!)
