K-type Mage

When the door of the archive room was opened, the dust shook and rushed in. Sherlock put away the wire and walked into the door first.

The city lord's mansion in the center of the city does not have strict guards and guards, and it is more lax than the patrols of second- and third-rate gangsters who gather for secret talks.The city owner himself was having fun in the high-end club area, and no one stopped him when Steve showed his identity and brought someone in.

The recognition of their identities by the people in the city makes it difficult to use clichés—secrets that are kept together, tacit facts that these people are afraid to say out of their mouths, but they think it is something that benefits everyone.

The interior of the archives room is very clean, it seems that someone cleans it every day, and the dust is very wrong when the door is opened.Walking into the archives is like entering another space.

Bruce took out the small tool that came along before and put it against the half-closed door, exchanged a look with Natasha, and switched positions, just at an angle where he could see the movement outside the door.

The shelves in the archives room are neatly arranged, and there is an old and decaying atmosphere in the air. Steve, who is carrying a gas lamp, puts it on the table. Under the white light, there are a lot of materials in the cabinet.

The civil servants and/or attendants who are in charge of organizing the archives are quite responsible. The materials are piled up according to the time and distance, and the time is pasted on the file bag.

Sherlock picked up the latest one casually, frowned after flipping through it, and said, "No. Do you remember the time when you saw it in the city?"

There are children selling newspapers on the streets of April, neat job advertisements and city policies are also posted on the demonstration streets near the city lord’s mansion. Bruce and Natasha, who were investigating the city in order to understand the city, also smoked one serving.

Steve took out the book he got before from his bag, compared it with the time on the file bag, and showed a surprised expression.

The time is not right.

The time in the city was ten years ago compared with the information Steve had come into contact with.

And the file in Sherlock's hand is the record of the case where the library in the city was maliciously set on fire a month ago, and the culprit was unknown and never caught.

Steve brought the army ten years later to April, which was ten years ago.

"Time has stopped here." Sherlock judged, "Maybe only a few people in the outside world know about it."

Steve looked uneasy and said: "Rendall knows."

He recalled the weirdness revealed in the other party's speech, as well as the vigilance and sarcasm of the city lord and the butler, and he was not in a good mood.

"The army was brought here on purpose," he said. "3000 people, not to participate in the war, but to be used for something."

"Sacrifice." Bruce said, holding up a thin book that had slipped from his file bag, with a serious expression, and his steel-blue eyes were full of suppressed emotions, "Time in this city has stopped ten years ago forever, because A blood sacrifice."

It was a yellowed and worn booklet, the names covered in black and brown.It appears to be someone's record, some paper has been torn out.

"The war started. I think I should have sent the family away from April in the first place, otherwise they would not have been involved in this situation. But Andrew is still there, I can't let him go, he is my servant. Master. He chose me, and I should always be loyal to him."

……

"Andrew Erickson is insane! He shouldn't have touched the 'Gravekeeper'... Now it's ok!Those attracted filthy things hidden in the surrounding fog, the rescue army sent by Nain... now there is no news at all!They are here to die! "

"It would be great if a superior spellcaster found out... But it's impossible! No one will come here, because everything looks normal here, and wars happen all the time."

……

"There are more and more people going to the forbidden area to make sacrifices, and there are already long queues on the street. Those smiles are smiling like they are going to bliss forever... like the smile of a child getting candy, it makes people feel chills on their backs. Class and money are utterly useless against something that is so malicious to humanity, they don't need it."

"Andrew has changed. Mentally and physically, I almost saw the strangled previous city lord... Maybe the reason why he sacrificed was because he was bewitched earlier. He entered the previous city lord's life that day. After the basement."

"The "Gravekeeper" is asleep, but we will never go back to before the war began.That thing still exists, Andrew sent a letter to Nain, I don't know what the deal was, but people who knew nothing were brought here. "

"...that Your Excellency is correct. The fictional things become real, and the power of evil gods is no less than this."

"...My wife and children are gone, and the master I serve is also crazy. There is nothing to miss."

"Those who see this place, no matter who you are, I wish you the best of luck. The day when the bell rings, the bright moon will guide you to the place where your soul sleeps."

The handwriting became more and more messy, and the mental state of the writer probably became worse, but the last paragraph was written in a particularly solemn and neat manner.

Andrew Eriksson is the lord of the city. The owner of this diary is unknown, and seems to be his loyal subordinate.

The four looked at each other, Bruce was the first to speak, and said, "The clock tower is on the opposite side of the City Lord's Mansion."

Across the river and the wide avenue, the bell tower standing silently on the opposite side is full of ancient atmosphere, and no one approaches it. It is a very eye-catching building.

Steve cares a lot about the owner of this diary, but what he cares more about is the army he led, even knowing that this is a copy of the game... "Will the fog appear at night when the army stops outside the city?" Doubt, some worry, "Or will I be taken to the forbidden area?"

"Haoyue... What does it mean to ring the big bell at night?" Natasha was thoughtful.

Sherlock quickly analyzed the information revealed in the diary, and said: "The owner of the diary was sober from beginning to end, so he chose to die and hid the diary here."

Bruce frowned slightly, took out all the contents of the file bag where the diary was stored, and finally found the pasted hard paper inside the file bag - after tearing the file bag, it was a somewhat yellowed photo , above are two young men, dressed differently, standing side by side, but the difference in status is obvious.

Steve looked surprised, and said, "It's the city lord and the steward, younger."

... The owner of the diary is a subordinate of the city lord, and the contact content seems to be the housekeeper.But when you think about it, it's a horror story.

"The butler didn't act like he refused to sacrifice." Steve said calmly, "When he entered the city, he ordered other people to meet the army in an orderly manner."

"Then ask." Sherlock said, "He didn't take the file, maybe he's not the current steward."

***

A group of gloomy and thick black clouds gathered above the ocean, the sky was dark and gloomy as if it was about to pour out rainwater, and the sea level even set off huge waves with white foam several feet high. Leave here safe and sound.

But if you look at it from a higher and wider perspective, you will find that this cloud and rain area is maintained in a stable range, and the surrounding ocean is as calm as if it is in another world.It was a storm at sea in the middle of the ocean.

In the center of the eye of the storm is a calm channel that runs straight through the sky and the earth. Upwards you can see the clear blue sky, and downwards you can see the turbulent dark sea water.

Yuan Shen stood high in the sky, looked down at this scene that purely showed the violent side of nature, his face had no ups and downs, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Human beings are powerless in front of nature, but now he is not afraid of it, I have to say this is a bit lamentable.

He took the time to pay attention to the game situation in his thinking. He didn't care much about other people's views on "Lack Uther", that was indeed him in the past... although in essence it was just a virtual image projected into the game.The copy of the game is taken from Tatar fairy tales, and this time the plot is a secondary creation that has been mixed.

Lak Uther is the vest he used to use, and his identity is an exorcist. He was originally just a character who was randomly pulled out to deal with occasional hunting and killing of monsters.

Although "he" did not deceive Steve about the information about "Gravekeeper's Tomb", the time and identity are completely lies. 100 years ago, he was the one who sneaked into the missionary school to understand the world. He was not a teacher but a student—by the way, he met Eun again after the first meeting in the swamp, and he also dealt with the Tatar Book with Eun decades ago.

But in this period of time, it is probably a madman in a vest who is habitually indifferent, doing things happily, and wandering out of the sky with his friends.

That lie came out of his mouth. To be honest, when he recalled the vests he used in the past, he felt a little far away from the world.

He looked at the blond young man in the bell tower who was wearing a smile that fit the vest, sneered, and stopped looking.

Although time seems to have passed for a long time, it is only in the copy.The outside world has not even passed three hours, but Yuan Shen himself has completed "Go to England to find Sherlock Holmes", "Observe what Loki was instructed to commit", "Detect the fluctuations of time and space cracks in the world", "After collecting information, look to outer space "This series of things.

That is to say, Nyarlathotep was already making trouble secretly before the Avengers Building handed over the copy. ——instruct Loki.

The spiritual scepter returned to Loki's hands again, and the second prince who got it from the Titans of the Eternal Race to invade the earth not only failed to be arrested, but now he once again performed villainous acts.

Yuan Shen never thought of asking Nyarlathotep to question him, but in the face of such a situation as the prelude to a major event, it was the first time he took the initiative (by the way) to check the location of the other party—and then unexpectedly discovered that the other party seemed to have deliberately covered up his tracks and exist.

It's clear that they haven't once before—it's a tacit understanding.

The mind of the evil god is really hard to understand.He didn't pay much attention, because he knew that the other party would not stop, and he never thought that the other party might have other ideas.

There are still many things to do before the four people in the game pass the level.

He withdrew his gaze from the eye of the storm. Here was the crack in time and space that appeared in the previous jigsaw world. Later, when the world was separated, there was still a gap, so the climate was not stable.

It seems that the other party has no idea of ​​attacking the world.

but……

Yuan Shen rubbed his forehead with some headaches, there are some strange beings in this universe.

Earth is really cute.

War is coming.

But he didn't know where and when to start.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Justice League have already notified that the screening mechanism for gamers is indeed random, but it is really opportune that both Batman and Captain America have entered.

He hasn't touched hell and heaven yet, but Naia doesn't seem to be bothered to deal with them here. The only trouble for him is to let the demons come one after another.

That's it.

Compared with his home country, there are not many things that make Yuanshen happy in capitalist society—of course, good will and spirit, and beliefs that conform to universal values, he likes these very much, and Chaoying and Vigilante are exactly the same.

He kind of wants to go back to Earth.The only, special, and unforgettable hometown, even if there are no relatives and friends who value it, at least it has lived for 20 years, and it should have the possibility of a normal life.

...Although according to the information I have snooped before, no matter which source is deep, I will not live my life normally.

It feels more like the protagonist of a novel.

He thought coldly, took a step and disappeared into the sky.

And the sea hurricane that was controlled within a fixed range gradually dissipated. The clouds disappeared and the rain disappeared, and the sea surface covered by dark clouds was exposed to the bright sunlight again. The blue waves were rippling, silent and tolerant.
