When Cen Jin and Wu Yujie were observing the iron man statue, they suddenly heard a loud noise outside the bookstore, and rushed out the door without saying a word. Countless sheets of white paper were scattered on the ground.
Wu Yujie caught the paper that fell in front of her, opened it and saw a line of words written in Rune script on the front, but she was not paying attention to the content that she couldn't understand, but on the paper itself: "This is Daolin paper."
Cen Jin felt agitated, and used the tip of his knife to poke through the densely packed Daolin paper on the ground. There were several lines written on each piece of paper, and it could be seen that each piece of paper had different content written on it.
"There are not so many coincidences. If you guess correctly, these Dowling Papers have the same effect as the Dowling Papers that occurred in cases such as mental hospital wards and hotel fires in Northern Europe."
"For example?" Wu Yujie stared at the paper in her hand and whispered: "The content of each Daolin paper will be realized in various ways, and everyone who gets this paper will become the protagonist in the story, so do I have May be the protagonist of this Dowling paper?"
Cen Jin suggested, "Why don't you try to throw it away?"
Wu Yujie first threw the paper out, the weightless paper floated crookedly, and finally fell back to her shoulders in a strange arc, then crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the abyss, a hot wind from the bottom up The ball of paper was returned to her arms.
"Tear it up and try." Cen Jin said.
Wu Yujie took his suggestion and tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the air. She didn't recover for a long time, but her tense nerves did not relax: "The torn paper does not mean that I am free from the setting entanglement of the protagonist of the story."
Cen Jin: "About Daolin papers, story characters and setting arrangements are just our guesses, and may not come true, but just in case, pay more attention to these Daolin papers, don't touch them for the time being, and wait until Ding Yiqing can solve them. Most of the rune words will be said."
Wu Yujie responded and felt a little relaxed.
Cen Jin comforted Wu Yujie with his mouth, but in fact he was not relaxed. An ominous premonition swirled in his heart, which had not subsided since he stepped into the thick fog. Entering this palace, the premonition was so strong that it made him panic.
"Go back to the bookstore, be careful not to touch the Daolin paper."
The two carefully returned to the study room. When they were about to step into the room, an iron figure on the right side suddenly fell from a height of seven meters, revealing a torn body under the torn, and a black sticky liquid flowed out.
Immediately, a rotten smell of sea fish permeated the air, and Cen Jin and Wu Yujie knew where the fishy smell they had been smelling since they stepped into the land of death came from.
Wu Yu's clean and white side face was stained with a few drops of black liquid that had been splashed over, and it was quickly smeared away, leaving traces that could not be wiped off.
She looked at Cen Jin with an ugly face, spread out her hands, and in her palm was a neatly folded piece of Daolin paper, the words squeezed out from between her teeth: "The torn paper has returned to its original shape, and it appeared in the in my pocket."
As soon as the words fell, Wu Yujie seemed to see something terrifying, her pupils shrank, and her face showed fear, she grabbed Cen Jin and pushed him in, only to close the door in time, and in the next instant, she was wrapped in Daolin paper flying over the sky and covering the sky.
The process was only fleeting, Cen Jin didn't have time to react at all. When he regained his senses, he split open the closed door angrily. The door was clean and empty, not a single piece of Taolin paper, and not a mess on the ground, except for some of the iron man statues and Wu Yujie that disappeared. Everything is as it was before.
He searched the entire palace but couldn't find Wu Yujie, so he began to identify the iron figures one by one, but he couldn't find any familiar faces, so he couldn't help but go back to the bookstore in frustration.
It has been a day and a night since they came to the palace, but the time in the land of death has stopped forever. The light of the sun and the moon can't shine here, only the gray sky. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to detect the time. elapsed.
Ding Yiqing looked up from the vast book and saw Cen Jin, who looked wrong, and got up worriedly: "What's wrong?" He found Wu Yujie was not there, so he asked.
Cen Jin clenched the long knife tightly, his face was gloomy and a little dejected, and he recounted their experience completely.
Ding Baiqing frowned tightly: "Can you still remember the contents of the old witch's piece of paper?"
Cen Jin: "I can describe it." He doesn't know the rune script, but these words appear from time to time around him recently, which causes him to subconsciously force his brain to remember the rune words he sees. "Can you crack it?"
Ding Baiqing: "I can only recognize a dozen or so characters at most, and there are still a few words that I can't determine the original meaning."
Without any ancient and modern documents to refer to, it is easier said than done to learn long-lost complex characters from a large number of ancient documents based only on the dozens of Rune characters that have been learned.
Cen Jin lowered his head: "I searched all over the palace and couldn't find the old witch, I have no clue, I haven't even seen the face of the master messenger who dealt with us, I don't even feel any spiritual pollution or danger. , only calm, dead silence, without waves of death, is the real terrifying danger."
He was a little doubtful whether the decision to enter the Nordic World Tree was correct, was it too reckless, and was it coerced by the so-called adventurous spirit of young people? Is it brave or self-righteous to drive them into the indescribable unknown under all unknown circumstances
The target of the enemy's calculation was him and Ding Yiqing. As a result, Wu Yujie encountered an accident first, and in the end it was his problem.
The Daolin paper that was scattered all over the sky just now might have been aimed at him, but Wu Yujie blocked him for him, as well as the fallen iron man statue and the Daolin paper that rushed over. It was Wu Yujie who pushed him away and stood in front of him. Unexpectedly.
How did he implicate his partner
"You're wrong." Ding Baiqing said suddenly.
Cen Jin raised his eyes blankly: "What?"
Ding Yiqing stuck Cen Jin's chin in his mouth, looked at him carefully, and said patiently: "You have always been optimistic and confident, and you will not be easily defeated. Now Wu Yujie is only missing, you are self-pity, pessimistic and lost, regardless of our previous How many missions, Wu Yujie, Lao Long, Li Daoyi and even me, we are facing a more dangerous situation, life and death are on the line, you can cheer up, think about desperately trying to save us, and you can avenge us no matter how bad it is—
The old witch just disappeared suddenly, why did something unexpected happen
She must still be alive, if she picks up the Dorian paper, she will become the protagonist of the story. "
A struggle flashed in Cen Jin's eyes: "She was there to save me—"
"Don't be stupid." Ding Yiqing mercilessly broke Cen Jin's glassy heart at the moment: "The school teaches us that everything is aimed at eradicating weirdness, and survival is the premise. Any extraordinary person needs to achieve results at a critical moment. The most reasonable and profitable choice, Wu Yujie is an outstanding student representative, will she make the choice of pulling you to death or pushing you to death?"
"What's more, she's your friend."
And a friend is never a friend who has lived and died together.
"Wait, let me clear my head."
Cen Jin pondered quietly, and after a while, he cleared his head, an expression of disbelief flashed on his face, and immediately frowned and concluded, "I'm wrong."
Slowed down. Ding Baiqing sat beside him, grabbed a lock of yellow hair and played with his fingers: "I guess the World Tree is not without spiritual pollution, but we are in the source of pollution, and our brains have been blinded and polluted without knowing it."
Cen Jin: "The detector has no warning."
Their extraordinary people will carry a simple mental pollution detector with them every time they go out. Since stepping into the thick fog, the detector has not sounded an early warning.
Ding Yiqing took out the detector he was carrying, and the value stayed at the normal 80, but he neatly removed the back cover of the detector, fiddled with a small part inside, and the next second, the detector value soared to a terrifying value.
The detector beeps an early warning sound and fails after a few seconds.
Cen Jin: "...Fuck."
I said something was wrong, and my mood was inexplicably low.
"Such a high level of mental pollution didn't make us mutate into monsters, it just made me feel depressed?"
Unbelievable how to survive such a high level of pollution.
"Perhaps we are polluted and mutated without knowing it. The brain is the easiest place to be deceived." Ding Baiqing said a terrifying guess, and then returned to the topic: "The old witch pushes you away, facing the dangerous choice alone, It is estimated that she knows that she is being targeted, and instead of hiding in the house and trembling, it is better to go deep into the haunted cave."
Cen Jin: "It is indeed something Wu Yujie can do." He tried his best to shake off the uncontrollable depression, feeling disgusting.
Ding Yiqing: "Help me record and teach you to recognize Rune script."
It's better to have something to do than to be downcast. Cen Jin had no objection, and followed Ding Yiqing, helping to record and learning to read.
Time passed minute by minute, without hunger and exhaustion, and the time passed without realizing it. When the two finally walked out of the sea of books, they could already recognize the prophecy left by the blind girl of Valhalla.
"It's not so much a prophecy, but an autobiography of a blind woman. She left the Hall of Valor and came to the Land of Death, went to the Sanctuary to see the three goddesses of destiny, and met Hela, the god of death who came to steal the spring water.
She had a hunch that everything she saw and heard was closely related to Ragnarok. The three goddesses of fate were sitting under the roots of the tree and gradually grew old. The theft of Hela, the god of death, was not only a preparation for war, but also a threat to the undead of the dead country.
The undead of the kingdom of the dead will become the victims of war... There is not much difference with the literature, but this sentence is a bit strange, it can be translated as, all the results of destruction are in the applause of fate - not very smooth, destruction is final destiny? "
Ding Yiqing was a little hesitant, unable to determine the true meaning of this sentence.
"The translation of the next sentence is... Rebirth at the end of death?" Cen Jin also mastered a lot of rune words, combining the meaning of the previous sentence: "Destruction is the ultimate destiny, rebirth at the end of death?"
"The so-called prophecy always likes to guess word puzzles. Anyway, the literal meaning is that the world tree is destined to be destroyed, but there will be new gods, new life and new hope to be reborn, reborn from the ashes. If you understand this, it is also in line with Norse mythology. development context."
"The word death also means time."
"Reborn at the end of time?"
Cen Jin frowned, feeling that they were like players who had just arrived at the Novice Village and ended up picking up the guidebook for the last level, and used this guidebook for the final level with a high level of difficulty to conquer the Novice Village.
Ding Yiqing: "All the destinies that will perish will be reunited at the end of time...or reborn at the end of death?"
