Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1484
"Why should I die?"

Angel stood at the intersection of light and shadow, Alex glanced at the floor, but there was no shadow.He seemed to understand something, and said: "I can be sure that there is no one in Gust Town who has a deeper understanding of this continent. I speculate that you will leave Gust Town and go to the Holy City."

"So, in your eyes, as long as I leave Gust Town, I will die?"

Alex nodded: "That's true. Since Mr. Pat is not dead, you can tell me why you came back again?"

Angel's eyes flickered for a moment, and he asked without answering, "Do you want to know the truth about those people's deaths?"

Alex shook his head without hesitation: "I don't want to."

"Since you don't want to know, why do you ask me why I came back?" Angel looked at Alex with a smile.

Alex was silent for a moment. Since Angel asked this, the murder case is really related to leaving Gust Town?Is someone slaughtering the leavers, or did the leavers find something and someone won't let them leave?

There can be no trace of massacre, so they must have discovered something.

What can be found?

Alex looked at the smiling Angel, and finally said softly: "So, is it a cage?"

Angel raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you are not stupid."

Alex originally said that Gust Town is like a birdcage, and its wings will be broken when it goes out.Therefore, it was not difficult for him to deduce the answer from Angel's question and answer.

However, Alex did not fully believe Angel's words. Angel himself was also a mystery to him, and it was possible that he was misleading himself.However, Alex just kept these thoughts in his heart and didn't show them.

"After crossing that river, it was a barrier that I couldn't leave. I couldn't move forward, and there was no way to go to heaven or earth, so I came back." Angel shrugged and said.

After Alex finished listening, he didn't say anything, but thought secretly in his heart.

"Speaking of which, you are still not curious, what is outside Gust Town?"

When Angel asked this question, he unconsciously recalled Alex's answer before.At that time, Alex categorically expressed that he was not curious. Compared to this, he was more curious about... the world.

At that time, Alex raised his head and seemed to look at the boundless void through the ceiling.

At that moment, Angel seemed to see a fellow traveler.

He went around in Gust Town and confirmed this answer even more.While everyone else was looking down to pick up sixpence on the ground, Alex saw the moon in the sky.

This is a seeker who looks to a distant place.

However, seekers of knowledge also need to be flexible. If you only breathe the wind blowing from afar and don’t lower your head to pick up the bread that falls on the ground, then seekers of knowledge will also starve to death.

So Angor asked this question again. He really wanted to know whether Alex was a dreamer with high ambitions or a seeker who was really chasing the moon.

Faced with Angor's question, Alex still didn't think about it this time, and said the answer without hesitation.

But this time it is different from the previous answer.

"I'm a little curious."

Angel took a deep look at Alex: If one day, he can get out of this cage, maybe he will really become a fellow who pursues the truth.Of course, the premise is that he has talent and opportunity.

"I'm also a little curious. After all, if we don't crack these secrets, it seems impossible to know the location here." Angel smiled at Alex: "Why don't we talk?"

Alex didn't answer, but he took out a small bottle of new lamp oil from the box and poured it into the lamp.Judging by the consumption rate of lamp oil, it can last at least one night.

Alex showed his support with action.

Angor found this Alex more and more interesting.

"What do you think is the meaning of this cage?" Angel asked the first question.

The reason why he asked Alex was because Angel was an outsider, he was a passer-by who broke into the cage inadvertently.And Alex is the person involved. He lives in Gust Town and should know something.

Alex pondered for a moment, he obviously knew what Angel wanted to ask, and said directly: "I have lived in Gust Town for three years, and I have basically studied the scriptures with Father Branlang, and I rarely leave the church. I don't know what secrets there are in Gust Town."

"Then you didn't find anything weird?"

"I don't know." Alex is actually an oddball himself, he pays more attention to himself and less to others.

Alex's answer was that he didn't know, which meant that he might have noticed the weirdness, but he didn't pay attention to it himself.Angor understood that.

"Then what do you think about it?"

Alex thought for a while, and did not start from the meaning of the cage itself, but from the Kruja Church.

"According to the documents I saw in the church, this Kruja church in the town of Gust has existed for 200 years. And, during these 200 years, the holy city has been sending priests to the church until five years ago. Years ago, the road to the holy city was cut off, so the clergy did not come."

"The road to the holy city is broken?" Angel looked at Alex suspiciously. If it was broken, why would Riven Knight and others go to the holy city again?

"It's because the main road is broken. If you go over the mountains, take dangerous or remote mountain roads, you can still reach the holy city. But it will be very troublesome, which has caused the townspeople to not go to the holy city in recent years. It is also because of this, the series Not many people died in the case." After Alex finished his explanation, he continued the previous topic: "So, if the records in the literature do not deceive me, the cage was formed within five years."

After talking about the time when the cage was formed, Alex began to analyze the various major events that occurred in the five years recorded in the book.

However, Gust Town itself is not big, and nothing major has happened in the past five years, except for this series of murders.

But the current evidence shows that the murder case is the aftermath of the cage, and definitely not the cause of the cage.

So, Alex was also a little stumped.

"Since this path is blocked, why not think about it from another angle." Angel suddenly said, "Think about it, what if the documents are fake?"

Alex: "The person who recorded the document, there should be no need to lie about it?"

"It's really unnecessary, but is all of this, including the entire Gust Town, a scam?"

Alex's pupils shrank. If everything is really a hoax, then the existence of the cage was born for this hoax!But why?

"If I remember correctly, you have amnesia, right?"

Alex nodded: "I was adopted by Father Branlang three years ago, and my memory is only from these three years."

"Did Father Borenlang tell you where you came from?"

"Father Brenlang didn't know either. He just said that I floated along the river and I was unconscious at the time."

Float down the river?Angel raised his eyebrows: "Then, you may also be an outsider like me? In other words, you can't be sure that the previous history of Gust Town is true after you came to Gust Town .”

Alex's throat moved: "I'm really not sure, but I don't think there is a need to make up these histories."

"In your opinion, it is unnecessary. But in my opinion, this possibility is not small." Angel stretched out his hand, and a sand table illusion was naturally formed above his palm, "Since the meaning of the existence of the cage, It's hard to find it now, so it's better to start with the cage itself."

Looking at this strange phantom of the sand table, Alex's mind moved, and he wanted to ask what it was, but in the end he suppressed his doubts in his heart and didn't ask.

"In my opinion, the cage has two forms." Angel pointed a finger, and immediately undulating mountains and forests appeared on the illusion of the sand table. At this time, a translucent glass-shaped box appeared in the sky, and one of the mountains was contained in in the box.

"This glass box is the first form of cage. It is a continent, and an area is cut off, so that people in the box cannot go out."

As for the second form, Angel directly removed the glass box, leaving this sand table out of thin air: "This sand table itself is the second form, and this cage is an artificially created area. A certain extraordinary life created Hakoniwa Garden."

Angel put away the illusion, and said to Alex: "If the cage is the first form, then the history here may indeed be true. It's just that five years ago, the cage appeared and cut off Gust Town communication with the outside world."

"But if the cage is the second form, then everything here may be false, including the so-called history."

After listening to Angel's words, some memory fragments flashed in Alex's mind. He seemed to see a cage in the dark...

In fact, when Angel said this, he suddenly thought of something in his heart.

If the cage is the second form, then such a cage must be created for a special event or a special person.

Angel walked around the town of Gust for a long time that day, and he noticed that the people living here did not doubt the place where they lived at all.They deeply believe that they are the aborigines who have lived here for many years.

The only exception is Alex.

This man has lost his memory, he is the only one who does not know the past, and may even be an outsider.

If the cage is the second form, is it possible that Alex is the meaning of this cage?
Of course, this is just Angel's guess. Even if it is really the second form, it may be someone else, or something else.

"It's because I didn't think carefully. I agree that the cage may have these two forms. However, I think it may be too early to figure out the creator's mind with my ability." Alex paused: " I think we can start with the truth about this murder case.”

Alex didn't mention the previous episode, nor did he talk about the memory that flashed in his mind, but talked about the previous murder case.

"This series of dead, including Riven Knight, died because they wanted to leave Gust Town subjectively or objectively."

"Once they leave Gust Town, they will inevitably discover the truth."

"Someone is trying their best to prevent them from discovering the truth. Maybe, if they find the person who killed them, they will know something?"

Alex's proposal is quite logical, but——

"What if the murderer is not a human being, and doesn't even exist in a cage?"
