Chapter 36 Reality in the Crack
In a dark underground passage.
Xiao En followed Benjamin into the depths of the Night Watch headquarters. This area covers a very large area, and part of it leads directly to the church area.
“I can only send you here.”
Benjamin stared at Xiao En in front of him and said softly: “The following is a place only high-sequence extraordinary people can enter.”
The corridors were lined with everlasting flames.
Xiao En nodded silently.
He glanced at Benjamin, leaned slightly to salute, turned around and entered the dark door ahead.
There are weird reliefs on the four walls here, which look very gloomy and dark. The height of the door is about five meters. After passing through, independent underground chambers appear in front of you, some of which are entangled with heavy chains. Some seals are engraved with complicated mysterious runes.
"Sean?"
A cold female voice said: "Please follow me."
"Don't touch anything nearby."
"This is the place where the sealed artifacts are kept."
< br>The woman who spoke was very tall, about two meters tall, but her back was slightly stooped, and her long gray hair almost touched the floor. She was wearing a classic black robe, holding a lamp in her hand, and walked in front of Xiao En to lead the way.
Sealed object?
Xiao En looked around at the underground secret rooms with a little curiosity.
Rare objects, holy relics, sealed objects.
There are only three kinds of extraordinary items he knows about so far. Strange objects are conventional extraordinary equipment, but they are still very rare. Most of the holy relics are left by extraordinary people, and some of them come from the former high-level vigil. Although people need to pay a price to use it, it is not that dangerous.
Sealed objects are mostly extremely dangerous.
Usually they come from dead high-level out-of-control people, powerful evil things that enter the real world, and some unknown and weird existences.
The cost of using sealed artifacts is very high!
Normally, the Night Watch will not use the power of sealed objects. Even the Death Patrollers must apply if they want to use the sealed objects. Except for the top leaders of the Night Watch, not many people know about Dorne City. How many sealed objects are there underground?
If there is no huge crisis, the most the night watchman can do is apply for the use of holy relics.
After a long time.
A deep gate appeared in front of you.
"Mr. Door." The tall and rickety woman said respectfully, "The person has been brought here."
The outline of a human face appeared on the door in front of him.
Mr. Men glanced at Xiao En and slowly opened a door of gray light.
The woman on the side said in a deep voice: "Go."
"The butcher is already waiting for you."
Xiao En took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the gray light door in front of him.
The Kingdom of Weirdness.
That hopeless place.
He is back.
When Xiao En's vision recovered, he saw the burly butcher in front of him. A gloomy chill that penetrated his bones made him miss the warm real world for a moment.
Weirdland.
The butcher said nothing, stared at him, turned and walked into the dark and cold corridor.
Xiao En followed silently.
The Kingdom of Weirdness is indeed colder than the real world, not in terms of temperature, but in terms of feeling.
The butcher's figure walked in front, Xiao En followed silently.
After a long time.
When a monastery-like mausoleum appeared in front of him, the butcher said slowly: "How does it feel in the real world?"
Xiao En was silent for a moment and whispered: "It's better than here."
The butcher smiled. He pushed open the heavy door, walked up the stairs, picked up his apron, then lifted the heavy iron hook with one hand, hung the pillar of flesh and blood, and started holding the boning knife. Working, he said in a deep voice: "That's natural, after all, it's the real world."
Xiao En hesitated to speak.
The butcher looked back at him and said calmly: "You seem to have a lot of doubts?"
Xiao En nodded: "Yes."
The contrast between the real world and the weird country brought him It's too big!
This kind of violent contrast shock makes him still a little uncomfortable.
Xiao En pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Why is there such a big gap between the real world and here?"
The butcher did not answer his question directly. He worked hard, and the tangled muscles on his broad back were like hard rocks. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know about the mental hospital?"
Xiao En nodded, slightly confused and said: "I know."
The butcher continued his work, raised the knife and lowered it, disintegrating the pillar of flesh and blood, and said solemnly: "If there was a mental hospital, the people detained in it would They are all the most vicious lunatics."
"But there is one person inside."
"He looks very normal. He clocks in on time, works hard, loves life very much, and is full of enthusiasm and hope for everything."
"So in your eyes?"
"You Who do you think is the most terrifying person in this mental hospital? "
A flash of lightning seemed to flash in Xiao En's mind.
He felt his scalp numb for a moment and murmured: "The person who looks the most normal!"
The butcher nodded and said: "Yes."
"They think so too!"
The butcher took out the spine of the Pillar of Flesh and said calmly: "Order is the cornerstone of the real world."
“They are afraid of reality, just like we are afraid of them.”
“Perhaps in their eyes, the real world is the crazy one, because the weird kingdom is all about them. They are the same crazy people.”
The butcher packed the pieces of the Pillar of Flesh into black bags.
He lifted the heavy iron hook again, turned his back to Xiao En and said: "The job of the night watchman is to maintain the order of the real world."
"Don't let it be destroyed by any supernatural factors . ”
“Because there is no more order, reality no longer exists. ”
Crazy people will swarm in!
At that time, even if there were miracles of human beings, miracles of destiny, and the twelve realms of clock nirvana, they might not be able to protect the real world.
The normality of the real world is a shock in this crazy and desperate country!
"This is definitely a crazy design."
Xiao En seems to understand something, the twelve realms of clock nirvana, the grotesque country of madness and despair, the normal and peaceful real world, just like the butcher As said, in the eyes of evil beings, the completely normal real world is the most abnormal, and there may be a 'big terror' in it.
And, there may really be a ‘big terror’!
Those who led mankind out of despair in the dark ages were either geniuses or madmen.
In the land of the grotesque, madness does not disappear, it only shifts.
There is a group of people who have endured the madness of reality!
Xiao En was silent for a long, long time.
He looked at the butcher's mountain-like back, was silent for a long time, and asked the question he cared about most: "Does the real world really exist?"
Yes.
Is the real world real?
He wanted to know the answer.
Xiao En is afraid that all this is fake, all illusion, all fantasy, just like a bubble, in this weird country of despair and madness.
The butcher’s hand holding the knife paused, and he said without any doubt: “It’s real!”
"In order to protect reality, we have paid too much."
"It is the last refuge of mankind!"
Xiao En believed the butcher.
He looked out the window at the gray sky and whispered: "Where is the real world?"
"The distance of the mausoleum does not seem to be reality."
The butcher glanced at him, put down the heavy iron hook, and said slowly: "Reality is in the cracks of the world."
"Here."
"It is the high wall that protects reality! ”
Xiao En’s guess is not wrong. The real world and the weird country are not on the same level.
He took off his hat and took off his coat.
Xiao En picked up the heavy black bag and started working. Before walking out of the room, he looked at the butcher and said, "Why help me?"
Without the butcher, he would not have become Ms. Hecate's disciple.
The butcher smiled and said calmly: "I hope that one day, you can take the place of mankind and sit at the dining table."
The legend of destiny in the path of a wizard was born, and countless evil things will Shivering.
