The Master of the Strange Realm

"But it doesn't matter. Why should I be afraid of my past?"

He suddenly laughed, startling the cat who was looking at him, thinking that Jenkins had suddenly gone insane. Noticing that his cat showed a worried expression - this was mainly reflected in the fact that Chocolate kept patting the back of his hand with his claws, Jenkins stroked the cat's head and said to it:

"There is nothing to worry about. The power you get is the most real. My past is something I have always insisted on not throwing away, so the past and the present together support the real me. Maybe this power is similar to the disaster we are facing, but I believe that in my hands, the power will be used most appropriately."

Chocolate raised his head and "meowed~" and tried to rub Jenkins' palm with the tip of his nose. Jenkins picked up the cat and looked at the fog outside the window:

"It won't be too far."

Such a serious accident happened in the Metal Black Tower. As the son of the church, Jenkins certainly couldn't hide at home and sleep in. But when he "hurriedly" rushed to the bottom of the tower, the battle was already over. The church was collecting the metal skeleton birds that fell because of the believers of lies on the roofs of several nearby streets.

The big crack in the ground has closed automatically, leaving only a raised trace. Jenkins soon met Miss Befanna, pretending to know nothing and asking her what happened just now, and then learned that what happened tonight was actually related to him.

During the day today, Jenkins entered the puzzle lock of the Craftsmen's Association and cracked the conspiracy. Then the church tracked the traces of space fluctuations caused by the space door, and actually found another base of the Craftsmen's Association in the city. It was deep in the intricate sewers under Nolan, where the church and the gifters of the Craftsmen's Association broke out.

The battle ended with the victory of the church. In the end, more than 20 cultists were arrested and killed, and a large amount of intelligence that had never been mastered was obtained. This was the biggest victory against the Gear Craftsmen's Association in the past few months.

The church believed that what happened tonight was the revenge of the Craftsmen's Association against the Orthodox Church. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that they had just won the victory during the day and immediately encountered such an attack at night. But fortunately, the believers of lies were willing to help maintain the safety of the city as they said.

Miss Befanna told Jenkins to go home directly and not to stay under the tower. After the attack that night, the church will do a more stringent job of security in the vicinity.

(Chocolate running...)

According to the original plan, Jenkins took his family to Evergreen Forest for a visit on the second day, which was Saturday. Hathaway and Britney had made preparations early, and Dolores also took a rare break from her busy schedule, taking a break from the heavy meeting to breathe fresh air in the forest.

Needless to say, Alexia wanted to walk alone in the forest with Jenkins, but since it was his rare initiative, she also prepared with a happy mood.

After breakfast that morning, Jenkins rented a carriage to take the group from St. George Street to the vicinity of the mansion where Salshi II stayed.

Jenkins was allowed to approach the gate only after his identity was verified. After seeing Alexia and Dolores in the mansion, he chatted with Salshi II for a few words, which meant a half-hour private conversation in the study, and then took the ladies out of the city together.

Evergreen Forest is in the far suburbs of Nolan, so the journey took a long time. But with so many companions on this journey, everyone didn't seem bored. Jenkins even suggested playing a card game during the journey, but unfortunately there were too many people, so he was finally excluded and watched with his cat. Occasionally, he would be complained by the ladies for whispering a few words.

Because they had already informed the church in advance, after the carriage stopped, they allowed the group to continue to go deeper after a brief inspection.

The life spirit that erupted on the day when the seeds of the world tree closed expanded the area of ​​the forest three times, causing some chaos in the management of Evergreen Forest.

The original forest entrance checkpoint needed to be reset, and without the valley as a support, it became more difficult to set up the checkpoint. There were also some buildings that were used as landmarks in the forest that needed to be rebuilt, new trails needed to be opened in the forest, and even the animals living here needed to be considered.

After that day, wild animals migrated out of season again around Nolan, and more animals entered the forest area and settled down. The church needs to re-plan the living area and water source for the residents in the forest, which is not a simple matter.

Because the newly expanded forest on the periphery is still an undetermined dangerous area, after entering the forest, Jenkins led everyone directly to the center of the forest, that is, the valley area.

The carriage could not enter the forest, and the group walked along the newly opened forest trail. Britney was very curious about the reason for the formation of this forest. She was the only ordinary person in the group.

Although the two people who directly caused the appearance of the forest in the 31st day of the cycle are now here, Jenkins cannot explain the real cause of the forest, so he answered vaguely:

"It was a group of cultists fighting that caused this place to become a forest."

"Is it an extreme environmentalist?"

"No, it's a cultist... In fact, it seems that there is nothing wrong with treating extremists as cultists."

Dolores, Julia and Bryony were all here for the first time, and were very surprised by the deer that gradually appeared behind the trail and followed the group. Dolores even wanted to hug the short-eared fawns, but the animals didn't seem to like her that much.

Jenkins noticed that there were actually two or three elk following him. He had never known that there was a population of elk near Nolan, nor did he know where they came from.

"Are you always this popular?"

Britney looked at a group of squirrels on the branch and said, Chocolate made no secret of her dislike for those animals with exaggerated tails.

"Yes, I am a genuine descendant of elves."

"When I was little, I also dreamed that I could marry an elf riding a white horse."

Seeing Hathaway looking this way, she added:

"I dreamed about it before I met Hedwig."

"Jenkins doesn't know how to ride a horse."

Hathaway said with a smile.

"But he has a unicorn...borrowed from a friend. I've seen it before, and it was a very beautiful little beast."

Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately added.

"unicorn?"

Blainey wondered.

"It is the most holy and beautiful creature you can imagine, and it matches every girl's imagination when she is young."

Alexia reminded.

Seeing Bryony looking at him, Jenkins put his right hand into his pocket and took out a small metal unicorn statue. Because when [Reading and Writing] + [Creation Pencil] work, [Book of Memories] directly extracts the images in the memory, so this statue is very lifelike.

"Why do you carry this kind of thing with you? Are you prepared for it?"

Seeing the happy expression on Britney's face, Hathaway asked suspiciously.

"It's chocolate's toy."

Hathaway looked at the cat again.

The chocolate on his shoulder shook his head at her, then he was stunned, pretending to be stupid again, and turned to look at his dangling tail.

Hathaway recalled the question she had posed to another woman traveling with her at the last cocktail party.

Throughout the day, the family was active in the evergreen forest. Jenkins introduced the interesting scenery to the ladies and even took them to see the shadow of the saint hanging upside down under the tree.

Alexia had been here many times after "confessing" her identity to the church, so she didn't have much interest in this forest. She just enjoyed walking in the forest with Jenkins.

Hathaway had sneaked in here before in order to use the music box that Jenkins sent from the Shire to call God, but this was the first time that she had freely stepped into this forest area during the day. She enjoyed this freedom very much. Feel.

Dolores and Julia were just looking at the scenery. They lived in the cold northern country all year round. Even though the city of Loen is not closed by heavy snow all year round, at least there is no such forest where Loen is located.

Bryony held the bronze unicorn statue given by Jenkins along the way, and privately asked Jenkins to see the little beast. Of course, this couldn't be done in the evergreen forest. Jenkins didn't want to do such a dangerous and exciting thing yet, but he promised that he could do it after going home at night, which in exchange for a kiss while tiptoeing slightly.

Of course, it’s not as if Jenkins didn’t do other things at all that day. While dining in the forest at noon, he learned about last night's events from Miss Stryce. The lie believers used unknown means to defeat most of the gear-skeleton birds. This is the information that was obtained from Miss Bevanna last night.

This time we are mainly talking about the metal black tower. This is already the fourth mutation:

"So, has the church discovered anything about the fourth floor of that tower?"

“The cross-sectional area was larger, and the church discovered the power of shadow.”

"The power of shadow?"

Jenkins put his surprise into words and then concluded:

"So far, the first layer has been explored by believers of lies. There are statues of the three kings in it. The outside of the second layer has changing characters, but the full picture of the characters is not yet fully obtained. The third layer has 'town under the moon' written on it, etc. Words, the fourth level have the power of shadow.”

Chapter 1888 Chapter 1859 Time Creatures

"That's a good summary so far."

Miss Strace nodded, flipped her hair, and continued in a lower voice:

"Considering the information provided by believers of lies about the 'Ritual of the Rebel', the church believes that the characteristics of each layer may correspond to a savior emblem."

Jenkins thought so too, but the metal tower had too few features:

"You can barely match the power of the shadow on the fourth level with the 'real phantom', but the other three levels can't match it even if you barely do it, right?"

"The followers of lies once broke into the first floor of the metal tower and saw three statues of kings inside, which may correspond to the [Uncrowned King]."

Miss Strace said.

"That makes sense, so does the church plan to send people into other levels of the tower? Maybe doing so can get more clues."

"The church has thought about this, but it is impossible to achieve. Jenkins, haven't you noticed? Except for the first floor, there are no entrances to other floors at all."

Jenkins was stunned. He really didn't know this. Recalling it again, the last time I entered the tower, I didn't seem to see any stairs or transmission devices leading to the lower level. It was still unknown whether inter-level transfers could be carried out in the tower.

"In short, the church agrees with the guesses of the lie believers and believes that the tower most likely only has nine floors. When all nine floors appear completely, it will probably be the day when the so-called fate-defying ritual is fully launched, and it may even be the final day. when disaster strikes.

"Does that mean there are five more floors?"

Jenkins asked, but it was all just speculation.

Throughout the day the family visited the forest. This is a rare opportunity, after all, except for Britney and Chocolate, everyone in the family is very busy now.

But they were going to have dinner back in the city, so the family left the forest at four in the afternoon, and Jenkins had already made a reservation at a restaurant in the city in advance.

The entertainment after dinner was to go to the Royal Opera House to watch a play together. Although Jenkins always planned such activities, everyone was very happy because he took the initiative this time.

By the time we sent Dolores and Alexia back and then took the other girls home, it was already close to ten o'clock at night.

After being tired all day outside, even Jenkins wanted to take an early rest. Of course, before that, he had to show the unicorn to Britney. Of course, he cannot be summoned directly, otherwise Hathaway will know his identity.

Therefore, he was forced to take the cat to blow the warm summer night breeze on the roof for ten minutes, and then he knocked on the door of his house with the unicorn. Jenkins admitted that his little beast was beautiful, but he could never figure out why ladies acted so overly because of unicorns.

Hathaway had seen it before, but still, like Britney, took the trouble to stroke the little beast's soft white hair and talk about unicorn-related stories with Jenkins. Even Julia couldn't help but touch the unicorn's neck. The little beast didn't seem to like Hathaway and Britney, but he wasn't tired of Julia's touch.

When Britney asked privately about the reason, Jenkins whispered into her ear and explained the definition of "pure girl", which resulted in him being lightly hammered.

"If there is a chance in the future, I can carry you and fly around in the sky. You will like it."

He said with a smile, and Brittany raised her arms and put her arms around his neck, hugging him. Just when the young men and women were about to do something else, outside the door, the church's carriage stopped at the door of the house with a harsh sound, interrupting the good atmosphere in the corridor.

Bryony and Jenkins separated slightly, and kissed Jenkins on the cheek with some regret:

"I'm happy today, we can go out together as a family again... Stay safe."

She knew that the carriage meant that tonight Jenkins would have to go out and face danger again, but she would not stop Jenkins.

"Don't worry, I will come back safely, in the name of the sage and in the name of chocolate."

He picked up the unhappy cat and shook it, then changed clothes and went out with the help of Julia who hurriedly walked out of the room. Blainey stood at the bedroom window and waved goodbye to the young writer downstairs who was about to board the carriage. After turning around, she saw the red-haired girl leaning against the door frame with her arms folded in front of her chest:

"Oh, 'I'm very happy today, and I will be a family in the future...'."

She repeated what Britney had just said in a teasing tone, and was hit by a pillow thrown by Britney, who was blushing.

In the city shrouded in gray fog, the carriage carried Jenkins into the night fog. After arriving at the church and getting an overview of the matter, the carriage took Jenkins off again, taking him and Chocolate to the southern suburbs of Nolan.

The west of Noland is the coastline, and shipping and ocean trade support the prosperity here; the north is the continuous mountains, where fruit tree planting and summer tourism are popular; the east is the mining area, coal mines and rare metal and gem mines, which is Noland It has become an important foundation for the industrial city on the west coast; while the south is the starting point of the Great Plains on the west coast of the mainland, and is also where Nolan's main horse farms and farms are located.

Maritime ships and criss-crossing railway lines gather here to support the glory of this "pearl" on the west coast.

What happened tonight was the Ludwig Farm, which was the private property of Count Ludwig, a local nobleman in Norland. The farm covers an area of ​​about 80 acres and mainly grows crops, but there is also a small flowerbed and fruit trees. It is said that there is a wine cellar under the farm where wine can be made, but because private wine making is illegal, Count Ludwig has always claimed that this is a slander against himself.

At about 6:30 tonight, an abnormally thick white fog appeared over the farmland in the east of the farm, and expanded into a thick fog in a very short period of time. The servants and farmers on the farm were very curious, and no one realized the danger.

So after dinner, two curious people who had drunk some low-quality spirits broke in without permission with farm tools, but they never returned.

After discovering that someone was missing, the steward of the farm led two dogs and three strong farmers with sickles to look for them, but they still didn't come back. Only then did the remaining people think of going to the city to find Luther. Count Vichy.

The old earl had long since resigned from his official duties and was living in Nolan as a retirement home. He didn't want to deal with this kind of thing, so he asked the servant to call the police, and just tell him what the consequences would be.

When the servant broke into Carfax Field in the night and described the general story of what happened, the church's civilian staff stationed inside the police station immediately realized that this was another space anomaly. Only then did the church learn that what happened in Novotown This incident in Lan Yuanjiao.

This is not the first space anomaly. The reason why Jenkins in the city was specially found is because this time the situation is special. Not only are there space anomalies, there are also weird things related to time.

Chapter 1889 Chapter 1860 The Story of the Psychiatric Sanatorium

An hour before Jenkins received the news, the church followed the procedure for dealing with abnormal areas in space and first sent a team into the fog to confirm the traces of the missing persons and investigate where the other area superimposed on this space belonged.

But when the team entered the fog, no news came out for half an hour. After checking again, I found a very slight hallucinogen component in the dissipated white mist.

Of course, this was not deliberately sown by anyone. Even a large dose of pesticide would have no effect in such an open and windy field. After searching for information and comparing the ingredients of the hallucinogens, it was finally confirmed that what appeared with the white mist was [Biggs Hospital] numbered A-07-2-3926.

A-07-2-3926 [Biggs Hospital] is a strange thing similar to [Night Manor]. It is a real entity that can be witnessed and touched. Its specificity is reflected in the time loop state inside the hospital.

[Biggs Hospital] is a hospital-shaped building complex that appears randomly in the material world. The barbed wire fence around the hospital is used as the dividing line between the inside and outside of the hospital. It will only appear in spring and summer, and it will only appear in plain areas.

With the emergence of hospitals, hallucinogens will naturally appear in the air nearby. This drug is not lethal, addictive or supernatural. The only effect is that people who inhale the ingredients of the medicine are more likely to lose control of their emotions, lose their sanity, and see various hallucinations.

The church believes that [Biggs Hospital] should have appeared somewhere in the world, and by coincidence, this location overlapped with Nolan's abnormal space zone, which caused the accident.

"Although the time loop of [Biggs Hospital] only occurs inside the hospital, this strange thing cannot be left alone. In addition to its internal time loop characteristics, it will also spontaneously attract ordinary people to break into this place. And those intruders , do not realize that their thoughts are being controlled, and usually carry out their actions for reasons such as "exploration", "writing", "testing their courage", etc. Even if they block nearby areas, they will use what they think is "normal". In short, in order for Nolan, who is closest to here, not to be affected, the church believes that it should take the initiative to solve the problem instead of waiting to see how things develop. "

Dad was sitting in the church's makeshift camp, warming a campfire with Jenkins. This kind of time-related magic is very rare, and not many people have experience in dealing with such events. But it just so happened that Dad and Jack had encountered [Biggs Hospital] 33 years ago, and they were the only survivors of that incident, so they called Dad so late. Come.

"What should I do?"

Jenkins asked eagerly. Fusion of the king's soul requires an abnormal time and location. Although the star realm is also possible, the protoss also said that the star realm can only be considered barely acceptable. If there is a better backup option, Jenkins will certainly not let it go.

"I suggested that the church call you here. This matter still needs your help."
