Chapter 408 New Moon Calendar...
"The candle in the wizard's tower never goes out."
The candlestick in Heywood's hand was pulled out from the wall.
"This sentence used to be the first article in the apprentice manual. Now it is the only article. At night, the candle will never go out."
Thor approached the candle.
Shortly after they entered the West Tower, it became completely dark.
It was unnaturally fast.
It also made Thor feel that this was not the real world.
He looked around the messy room and felt a little stuffy.
"After nightfall, the atmosphere here becomes very strange." Sol tugged on his collar. The air was too dull and he felt faintly suffocated.
It was as if there was not enough air in the room for two people to breathe.
After nightfall, Heywood didn't talk much.
He huddled in the corner, staring at the candlestick one meter away, as if he was afraid that it would go out at any time.
"I feel like someone's watching us." Thor walked toward the door.
The door was temporarily assembled from a door from a certain dormitory. The door crack was a bit wide, and cold wind blew in.
"Of course, there are many people." Heywood moved, and rarely responded to Saul, "Don't look around, wait until dawn."
But Saul is not as cautious as Heywood, and he does not intend to stay in this illusion for a hundred years. Year.
The key to breaking the illusion is to break its rules.
Although this illusion is so real that Thor has repeatedly doubted it, he is still more inclined to believe that this is not the future.
But if he continues to stay like this, I'm afraid his understanding of truth and falsehood will become increasingly blurred.
Now Thor knows enough about this place, but he has not yet found enough nodes to break through the illusion.
"Maybe the breakthrough is not in the wizard's tower."
Thor leaned toward the crack in the door.
The door faced the patch of grass covered with skulls.
The strong wind was still howling, and the dark green grass branches were blown down.
A pale head emerged, but was quickly submerged.
As he watched, Thor had the illusion that there was a human face of flesh and blood hidden among the groups of skulls, staring at the people in the room through the crack in the door in front of Thor.
"Someone is watching me, this is not an illusion." Sol endured the feeling of standing on his head with chills all over his body, and scanned every head exposed in the grass, but still found nothing.
Thor slowly raised his head.
There is no moon tonight, but there are many stars. The stars twinkled in the sky, which was a little different from the sky in his memory.
"Are these stars distributed... too densely?"
Sol squinted his eyes and looked at them more carefully.
Looking at it, he was once again sure that these stars were not the stars he remembered.
There seems to be a small black spot among the stars here.
Each black dot was pointed in the direction of Thor, like... the pupils of an eye.
Eye? !
Sol put his hand on the door and was about to go out.
"What are you going to do?" Heywood suddenly spoke from behind.
Saul turned around and saw Heywood staring at him.
There are only a few pupils in the large whites of the eyes.
Like those stars.
Thor smiled, "I'll go out and take a look."
"You must not stay in a dark place." Heywood said gloomily.
"The stars outside are so bright, can it be considered a lightless place?"
Heywood was suddenly startled, "Where are the stars outside?"
He seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately pulled out more candles from the corner, not caring about the consumption. , setting each one on fire.
As he lit the candle, his hand holding the flint trembled slightly.
Seeing that Saul was still standing at the door, he said angrily: "What are you doing standing there? Come and help light the candles! You have caused those resentments! We need more candles to calm the resentments!" Saul originally didn't want to pay attention to Heywood
. , he was eager to look at the stars, but at this time, he suddenly felt that the feeling of being watched was stronger.
A vague scream came from the crack in the door behind him. Thor turned around suddenly, and was shocked to find that the place outside the original door had become pitch black, with no grass, no head facing the wizard tower, no stars in the sky.
"Come here quickly... Come here quickly... If you stay in the darkness... you will die!" Heywood's voice behind him became hoarse.
As soon as he finished speaking, Thor felt a dangerous killing intent, passing quickly from his fingers to his back spine like an electric shock.
dangerous!
His instinct was warning him and he immediately ducked back.
But Saul endured the biting coldness and stood still.
Then, he saw the diary in his mental body suddenly opened.
[On May 14th, year 317 of the New Moon Calendar,
you are looking at the scenery behind the door, and
the people looking at the scenery
are looking at you.
】
No death reminder!
This is a crisis warning!
After reading the words in the diary, Saul took three steps back in an instant and stood directly beside Heywood.
The intuitive sense of crisis immediately diminished, but was not completely eliminated.
And as time goes by, this sense of crisis is still strengthening!
Heywood had already lit candles all over the floor and held two more in his hand, but the panic on his face did not fade at all.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
"Who is it?" Saul turned his head and looked at Heywood.
But Heywood just looked at the door, the scars on his face twitching.
Unable to get an answer, Thor looked at the door again, only to find that the crack in the door had become larger!
"No! It's not that the crack in the door is getting bigger, it's that the door is getting smaller!" Saul also felt cold all over at this time, "It's the darkness that's devouring the door!" The long-lost horror was running through his body along with his blood, but Saul was feeling cold like this
. A familiar feeling was found in the fear.
He suddenly calmed down.
His eyes fell on the diary again.
"Year 317 of the New Moon Calendar, ha, so, now is now!"
Saul just deliberately retreated a step slowly after sensing the crisis, just waiting for the diary to come out as a warning.
And there is a date on the diary!
"My initial analysis was correct. This is an illusion, the attack effect of the black light!" "
This illusion is not complicated and there is no clear danger. If I guessed correctly, the darkness this time will not be complete. Invade this room."
Thor was not as frightened as Heywood next to him, but he did not step forward to provoke the darkness again.
As expected, after a few minutes of confrontation between light and darkness, the dark shadow on the door slowly receded.
Heywood breathed a sigh of relief, and he sadly blew out the extra candles, leaving only three just in case.
Then he said to Thor in a deeper voice: "Don't explore and observe at night. If you cause pollution again, we will be dead." Unfortunately,
Thor, who had just confirmed what he thought, did not listen.
"My guess is correct. The main focus of this illusion is not fatal aggression. Therefore, the diary only gives a crisis warning, not a death warning. But it will take advantage of people's suspicion. If it were anyone else, they would find it in a short time. When there is no way out, you will become more doubtful about your guesses; when you see the correct logic hidden in the illusion of this world, you will become more doubtful about whether you have arrived a hundred years later." "And the more doubtful you are
, You will be less able to find a way out! You may even be hypnotized by yourself!"
In the end, I am afraid that I will convince myself that this is a hundred years from now, and then I will be left on the mezzanine forever.
After confirming that this was an hallucination, Thor also had some ideas about the nodes to crack the hallucination.
Sol held his chin in thought, "This illusion should only be about a hundred meters away from the Wizard Tower. If I want to leave, I'm afraid I will encounter danger approaching immediately. And those stars above my head are probably the eyes in the mezzanine. They are really very Powerful."
Now there are two ideas. One is to go into the darkness and fight against the pollution. However, judging from the warning in the diary, the battle may be very difficult. The other is to kill Heywood here...kill the output of this world view. By. "
Saul slowly turned his head and looked at the absent-minded old Heywood.
The latter stared at the candlelight in a daze.
