Chapter 304 The Eye of Thinking
Above the wilderness, the setting sun on the horizon stretched the figures of Dillashaw and several other mourners.
In fact, a complete funeral ceremony contains multiple steps, but after omitting all the savings, only the steps of placing the coffin, burying the soil and praying are left, which is probably the most time-consuming step. Instead, it’s the part of making tombstones.
The hunter killed by Milo was buried in the wasteland east of the city.
The sound of the cold wind carried Dillashaw's eulogy over this inaccessible land.
"May you rest in peace in this land, stranger."
Dillashaw closed the book, picked up a handful of wet soil and sprinkled it on the coffin.
......
The long night finally ushered in the first ray of sunshine on the horizon.
The surrounding weird and twisted trees drooped gloomily, reflecting the withered grass blades and broken stones. Before the sun fully illuminated, there were many bats in the gray sky.
The dead and corrupt atmosphere of the night had not completely faded away, and Dillashaw hurriedly ended the funeral ceremony.
In some ancient rumors, after strangers of unknown origin are buried in Nanwei territory, they will attract ghouls under the wilderness crust. They prefer such tombs that are easy to be forgotten. Because no one will be dusting the tomb on the Day of the Dead next year.
This is also the reason why the Nanwei people will light a candle in front of the wild graves on the hilltops on the night of the Day of the Dead. After all, this city is not as impersonal as the rumors describe.
......
"Go to the Chengnan Law Enforcement Station to inform that person and tell him that my matter has been completed."
Dillaxiao ordered his officials to go into the city to report the news.
I was holding the scripture and calmly looking at the clouds gradually becoming translucent on the distant coastline.
He liked the breath brought by the early sun very much. Although it could not really sweep away the gloom of the dark night, it could at least give people hope.
After several years of watching, Dillashaw felt more and more that he could not see through the city, and an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
In the past, he did not understand why Pastor Defoe often sighed, but now he felt that he should be able to somewhat empathize with it.
…
Soon, the early sun shone on the church floor.
The huge star window above the clock tower divides the sunlight into seven colors and reflects it into the condensed clouds and mist.
Dillashaw stared at the clock tower that towered into the clouds like a giant finger, lost in thought.
…
...
Above the bell tower, the thick curtain wall intercepts the bright colorful rays of light outside the star window.
On the hidden floor, there is no trace of the church’s splendor.
Grey has become the main color here.
But it wasn't always like this here.
Everything can be attributed to the malice that came from under the Church Bridge not long ago.
The chaos that transcends the rules of time and space has caused the real stars on the clock tower to lose their original light. The person who was originally in this position can absorb everything in the entire Nanwei City. fundus.
But after that day, its pupils were stabbed, and it paid the price for looking directly at a certain figure. It was the source of the malice, that shadow, any name that correctly read it Everyone will encounter disaster... The dark shadow silenced everyone on the Star Clock Tower.
Every day after that, they sealed off the curtain wall on the Star Clock Tower, recited the Golden Rule day and night, and prayed for blessings in order to seek inner comfort and purification.
...
This is also the real reason why Dillashaw can only get a few words of guidance on a piece of paper at a time.
The thinking eye that should have penetrated the source of all disasters was stabbed, and it fell into a dormant state for an unknown length of time.
Its supporters can only figure out its intentions from the few words it murmurs in its sleep, and then convey this will to the hands of the officials.
But this model is still too slow after all.
...
“It’s too slow. We still can’t understand the source of all this turmoil. What is the first creature that breaks the balance?”
“Unknowable, we have always been in a state of uncertainty. Under the haze, something tore through the haze, allowing the terrifying beings above to notice this place. They smelled the breath here, and their thinking eyes only captured a vague shadow. It was very small, even as big as a palm, and was black. It seems to have a tail. The totem condensed on the contract shows that it may be a cat..."
"When has such a thing happened in the history of time? The incarnations of the high gods gathered in a dilapidated building. In the city, they have become the target of hunting before they reveal their true identity."
"What a god, they are just the remaining shadows of the old world. Those ignorant hunters don't know the blasphemy at all. As for the fate of the incident, this time they can only be regarded as seizing the opportunity. They have not yet touched the terrible existence hidden in the depths, but once the door of disaster is opened, it can no longer be closed, and they will become the sinners of the era. "
"Is this the so-called destiny? We cannot avoid this disaster after all. Our thinking eyes have been staring at it for so long, and just because of the only accident that fell into dormancy, so many disasters immediately appeared."
" How can you be sure that it was an accident? It's just that we thought wrong from the beginning. The person who can't see through, Val Rokan, is not the source of the disaster. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, he is not even a person. The participant was just a dull boy who accidentally broke into this catastrophe."
"How are you sure it was an accident?" Someone returned the original words to the former.
“He drove off Glaaki.”
“It was we who persuaded Glaaki to retreat. He only angered Glaaki and indirectly caused the tragedy in the Severn Valley. Could it be that Haven't you heard the rumors in the West? His name has been cursed by many people in that river basin."
"Why bother with an outsider? He will always pay the price for his actions. Although there are people in red vouching for him now, at the end of the day, no one can escape the reckoning. This is eternal. "The prophecy of change."
"What about the people in Nanwei City? Are the people in the contract organization still keeping silent?"
"The old gods will never forget it?" There is no need to worry about the creatures who pray to him, and remember the teachings of the Golden Rule."
"But there are too many shadows on the city... Fortunately, the source of chaos has left."
"Pray with all your heart, while we still can."
...
…
Not long after, the sun was shining high.
Milo has arrived in the wasteland.
The first thing he did was to check the angle between the tombstone and the ground. After confirming that it was correct, he knelt down and immersed his vision into the world of the dead.
...
Among all the people who have noticed the coming of the shadow, Milo has become one of the few who is doing his best.
But the people who placed their faith in the entire Nanwei City sealed themselves in the high tower and were cautious.
