According to what Pierre said before, when trapped in a small forest village, the time flow of various things will fall into a very strange state, some things will accelerate to decay, while others will show a state of time and space stagnation , so what happens when the time-space distortion of the village suddenly disappears
At present, these distorted times will be "compensated" immediately.
The 300-year-old village decayed into ashes in an instant, and the forest that was blocked outside the wall occupied this once civilized soil in an instant, and those villagers who had completely integrated with the village and became part of this magic power system were captured. Treated as dead things: they are also instantly compensated into time.
Pierre was both surprised and happy after seeing Hao Ren and his party. What happened just now made him feel shocked and terrified. The sight of everything around him decaying instantly and the big forest creaking and rolling over made him almost commit suicide again. had a heart attack. The Wang brothers and Catherine beside him seemed much more confused: the three had been trapped in the village for so long that they almost lost the ability to think freely. What happened in the past few years was confusing to them. It was a chaotic dream, and even the memory before the dream seemed to be lost a lot.
After hearing Pierre's explanation of what happened before, the Wang brothers couldn't believe it, and Catherine's eyes widened: she thought she had just set off from a research camp outside the forest and was about to Ready to come to this forest to collect animal and plant data.
However, in the blink of an eye, it is almost a vicissitudes of life.
"Now that the curse of this place is gone, what are your plans next?" Hao Ren looked at Pierre and asked, "Also, have the three behind you...have thought about the future?"
Obviously, the Wang brothers and Catherine haven't thought about such a far-reaching thing, or even if they have thought about it, I'm afraid they don't have a clue: such a bizarre experience has only been heard in fairy tales. ah? And even in the stories of gods and monsters, it seems that there is no mention of how to deal with this kind of thing after encountering such a thing. Everyone has heard the story of Wang Zhilanke, but it seems that the story does not talk about the unlucky guy who let the fairy spend a hundred years of time. Then how to make up the ID card...
However, Hao Ren felt that the three situations in front of him were at least luckier than Wang Zhi, who watched the fairy play chess in the story: they had only been out of touch with the outside world for a few to ten years, and they could basically resume production if they found a fake certificate. …
"I'm really thinking about changing careers," Pierre said from the bottom of his heart, and nodded to Vivienne at the same time, "Your point makes sense, my physique and luck... if I continue to do this, it will probably be within five years I have to put the photos on the wall. As for these three friends... To use an old oriental saying, meeting is fate. After all, they have been trapped together for so long. Life."
Hao Ren felt relieved when he heard this, and thought that Pierre would be willing to take over such troublesome things, so he would be relieved. But he still asked curiously: "Do you have any connections? Spiritual detectives even take care of this? It's okay for these two brothers to say that Catherine seems to have disappeared in the year Bush Jr. came to power. She disappeared for fifteen years and resumed production." It's more difficult... "
Pierre smiled slightly: "Spiritual detectives also have their own network of contacts, and although there are rare cases of mysterious disappearances and reappearances for many years, as long as their families are still there, everything will be easy to handle. In an unexpected situation, the worst case is to find them a fake certificate... "
Hao Ren: "..."
After tossing for a long time, this is the way the detective in front of me is
"Well, anyway, you can take care of yourself," Vivienne waved her hand, "But if you really encounter difficulties, you can go to Athens, Greece, and draw a pattern of hexagrams and eyes on any monument near the city center. Someone will look for you, and when you report my name, you can get help from the Shadow Council."
Pierre was immediately moved. This was probably the first time he was about to come into contact with this level of supernatural power after working as a detective in the spirit world for so many years. Although he didn't know what the Shadow Council was, just hearing the name was enough. Get him excited. And when he was excited, Hesperis reminded him from the side: "By the way, there is something to pay attention to."
"Please speak." Pierre immediately responded with a correct attitude.
"When drawing patterns, just use water, not paint," Hesperis covered his forehead, "Last time, two idiots from the American Fraternity used spray paint to draw joint codes on city monuments. We learned from the police. They were fished out by the police..."
Pierre: "..."
Hao Ren patted the spiritual detective on the shoulder: "Change careers as soon as possible, the daily life of these monsters is not as strict as you imagine."
Pierre continued: "…"
After arranging the affairs of these "strange village victims", Hao Ren and the others did not leave in a hurry, but turned to the ruins of the village overgrown with grass, and walked deeper into the barren land.
If you don't experience it yourself, it's hard to imagine that there would be a village with hundreds of "populations" just a few hours ago, but now, all you can find here are clumps of weeds and shrubs, which grow rapidly due to the distortion of time and space. The plants that come out are still in an unstable state. They continue to grow and wither at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye. Under the cover of these plants, you can see the remnants of the village's severe weathering: fragmented rotten wood, and Gravel on the road.
Hathaway followed behind everyone in an invisible form. She pointed out the way for everyone based on her memory and the special recognition skills under the vision of the undead. Soon, they arrived at a seemingly ordinary depression.
As for Pierre and the other three, they wisely did not come to join in the fun: After a series of events, these people already knew that the front was not the area they should be in contact with.
"Right here," Hathaway floated above the depression, her voice could only be heard by Hao Ren and his party, "Dig down."
Lily jumped down first.
The husky girl's claws were flying, and the stale soil and gravel were quickly thrown out of the pit. After a while, a huge deep pit appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Then, Lily's claws seemed to touch something, and she issued a "ding" " a soft sound.
The dog girl has a keen sense and brakes immediately, otherwise no matter what is at the bottom of the pit, it will probably be cut into pieces by her strange strength and her claws that cut iron like mud.
Vivian summoned a group of bats to fly down, and soon, with the cooperation of the bat group and Lily, a heavy black metal box about one cubic meter in size was lifted up.
This metal box has been buried underground for more than two centuries, but it is still intact and solid. The dark black box has a metallic luster, and mysterious ancient runes and patterns are engraved on each surface. Swaying, the ancient runes on the metal box continued to reflect various brilliance as if they were alive.
"This is what Hercules brought out from Mount Olympus," Hathaway said softly, "he regarded it as his life, and this is the only 'relic' left to him by his majestic father— Although these things are just his burden."
"How should this box be opened?" Hao Ren studied the structure of the box curiously. He found that there was no clear up, down, left, and right directions, and there seemed to be no lid and lock. This thing should be a delicate mechanism container. It probably won't work if you want to open it like a normal box.
"He had predicted his own death, so he told us how to open the container," Hathaway slowly landed on the ground, her spirit-like fingers gently gliding across the surface of the ancient metal box, those ancient symbols The text began to blink regularly under her touch one by one, "However, I can only unlock the rune lock here, and then it needs a crucial key."
"Key?" Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison.
"The blood of a descendant of Olympus," Hathaway looked at Hesperis, "Zeus personally designed this container, and restricted it to be opened only by descendants of Olympus, to prevent these precious materials from being opened." It fell into the hands of outsiders. Hercules also mentioned this restriction when he handed over the opening method to us. He knows that there are still some survivors of the Olympus family in this world, so please, if necessary, hope that we He was able to transfer this thing to his people. But you also know what happened afterwards: the situation was out of control, and we failed to fulfill his entrustment. But now, this sacred agreement can finally be fulfilled."
Hearing Hathaway's words, Hesperis' expression gradually became serious.
She took a deep breath, stepped forward with an almost solemn expression, cut her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the metal box.
Vivienne took Hesperis' finger and sucked it in her mouth, watching the changes in the metal box while sucking. Hesperis had a strange expression on the spot: "...what are you doing?"
"Don't waste it," Vivienne said with a matter-of-fact expression, "I've lost a lot of mana, so hurry up and replenish some nutrients. By the way, you've been a little angry recently, right?"
Everyone: "..."
And at this moment, there was a sudden light sound from inside the metal box, and this complicated organ container was finally gradually opened. (to be continued~^~)
