The train was moving very fast, and the scenery along the way was fleeting like slides. Mir withdrew his gaze from the window and curiously asked in his heart: "Ellie, I'm very curious. The gods are divided into three camps. You don’t seem to have contacted any of them. Are they from the same camp as Demise? You haven’t even looked for them in the gray ground.”
"No, no one is in the same camp as Death, but they once helped Death seal me, even though Death didn't need help," Ellie said calmly, like a bystander recounting his experiences.
"Why?" Mir frowned slightly: "The world will eventually die, including themselves. Why do they push themselves to death?"
"They're scared," Ellie's tone seemed distant.
As the words fell, the train stopped in front of a grand palace.
Mir's eyes were immediately attracted to this ancient palace. The outer walls of the palace were based on hard marble, with tall towers standing at the four corners.
The train stopped at the entrance of the palace, opened the door and tilted the car slightly.
Mir slowly walked off the train and looked at the sculpture at the door that symbolized the supremacy of imperial power, but was ruthlessly pushed down. The pushed down sculpture was not removed, but gradually shattered on the ground, as if to warn Stolen at all times.
Mir understood that this was the legacy of the former emperor. It witnessed the fall of the dynasty and the rise of the people. During that period, it was like an attraction that any civilian could step into.
Soon after, it became the private property of the nobles. The nobles used the palace to hold various parties and even weddings. After all, only commoners would go to churches to hold weddings, and nobles did not like churches.
The gaze of the fallen sculpture was so calm.
"I feel honored to be able to pick you up." When Mir stepped off the train, the train bowed slightly and greeted Mir: "As long as you call me, I will come."
Before Mir could say anything, the train disappeared into the vortex.
"Is it usually so polite?" Mir was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he figured it out. As a creature of the gods, it is normal to be respectful to the gods, but Ellie knows about it, which means that it is in Ellie's eyes. It already existed before being sealed, so why can't you recognize His aura? Is it because Ellie is hiding it too well?
"I have never called it. It is just a creation that adds to the fun of the gray land. No god needs to walk." Just after saying this, Ellie changed her mind again: "Maybe there is... that soul. In the palace, its mood seems to be very confused, with a little fear and urgency."
Mir followed Ellie's words and walked into the palace. After stepping through the surging gate, he saw a wide corridor. The surrounding gas chandeliers emitted white light. Both sides of the corridor were decorated with exquisite murals praising the royal family. Knives and forks have been nailed on, and the murals praising the nobility are new and beautiful.
Arriving at a spacious lobby, the floor was covered with gorgeous carpets, and the long dining table was filled with food and goblets.
A gray figure huddled in the corner, looking at Mir with a hint of fear.
Mir also looked at him, looking at the gray figure, and then at his own foggy white figure. The stars in his body had long since disappeared, and he couldn't help but ask with some doubts in his heart: "Why is this soul gray? And? There’s nothing inside him.”
"The soul is inherently gray," Ellie replied simply.
"Is that so?" Mir didn't think much about it. After all, he was not the soul of the same world. It should be normal for the gap to exist.
Lawrence looked at the boundless figure in front of him. Space seemed to lose its value in front of it. He couldn't tell how huge it was, but the entire field of vision had been completely occupied. There were countless stars in the misty white color. As if looking at the foggy white sky, a huge star that is extremely bright is competing with countless stars.
A strong sense of oppression came over him. He wanted to run away, but he didn't dare and couldn't. He wanted to go back. He wanted to go back eagerly. Even if there was an abyss ahead, he still wanted to see his wife.
A strong belief broke through my mind, and I tried hard to utter one syllable: "You..."
"Me?" Mir looked at the gray figure curled up in the corner. The figure looked like a kicked puppy, pitifully: "Um, how are you?"
"Hello, are you the owner of this place? My name is Lawrence, I don't mean to offend, please forgive me," Lawrence said in a sincere and humble tone.
"You misunderstood. I was just passing by. You didn't offend me. On the contrary, I might have disturbed you," Mir said in a strange tone, silently communicating with Ellie in his heart: "This person appeared in the palace, he should be a noble. , are nobles so polite?"
Ellie was silent for a while and then said silently: "Maybe."
Lawrence listened to the ethereal words, and his heart was filled with endless joy. He doesn't care, He doesn't care about my offense, He is a friendly god!
He has no other choice. Now he can only firmly choose to trust, or pray that the other party is a friendly existence.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Mir continued to ask: "I'm a little curious, how did you enter the Gray Land?"
"Gray Ground? Yes, this is Gray Ground," Lawrence came back from the intense joy: "[Level 1 Abnormal Object - Gray Ground's Watch], that is a small pocket watch, I got it from a Moonlight believer I bought it in my hand. It cost me a lot of gold coins. The moonlight believer said that if you turn the pocket watch back, you can reach the mezzanine of this world. In the gray ground, if you turn the pocket watch straight, you can return to The original world.”
Speaking of this, Lawrence's mood was slightly aggrieved and angry: "But there is no pocket watch. I am just a gray figure in this world."
"He was cheated," Ellie's words echoed in Mir's mind.
"Um, I can tell. What's the abnormality?"
"Anomalies are unusual items, special items, and the opposite is anomalies. Anomalies are abnormal phenomena, usually very large."
Mir looked at the gray figure huddled in the corner with pity, and couldn't help but said: "So, driven by curiosity, you set the pocket watch back?"
"I, I did turn my pocket watch back, but not out of curiosity. I have always been a rigorous person," Lawrence said righteously.
Then the tone was full of sadness: "Wedding, my fiancée and I held a wedding in the palace. Just as I was about to go from the dressing room to the lobby, a fat and disgusting big hand covered my mouth. It was clearly in the dressing room. It was supposed to be empty inside, but the force was so powerful that I couldn't break free. Just when it was about to kill me, I turned my pocket watch."
"I, I don't know what is happening in the real world now, whether my wife will be in danger."
"Wait!" The words of the fat and disgusting big hand reminded Mir of the disgusting filth: "Tell me carefully and describe what that big hand looks like."
"Um," Lawrence didn't dare to neglect his inquiry: "It's a little pale and a little swollen, like a corpse that has been soaked in water for several months."
"It must be filth," Mir silently communicated with Ellie in his mind.
"It should be," Ellie agreed, and at the same time popular science: "But they cannot come to reality on their own initiative, they can only appear through summons, and the time they can appear is very short, and they will be rejected by reality in less than a day, unless, unless they Invading people’s bodies and hiding in reality.”
"They will still occupy people's bodies?" Mil felt an indescribable nausea in his heart. After the nausea, he felt an indescribable feeling. He seemed to see the filth of that day and pulled his ankles back with his hands. La: "Only that, only that body, that is my thing, you can't take it away! I can't go back to the past."
"Tsk~" Mir clicked his tongue. So, why did Mir prefer to abandon his life and summon filth? Was he bewitched? Or does he want revenge? That's filthy, a time bomb hidden in the crowd.
I don't understand, all the items in the house were blown up, and all the truth may have been buried under the dust.
Looking at the poor man in front of him, Mir's expression became more pitiful: "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"If possible, I want to hear the good news first," Lawrence said without hesitation. He was now eager to get some relief.
"The good news is that there is a high probability that your fiancée is not in danger for the time being."
"Really, really?" Lawrence was ecstatic in his heart. This news is more important than anything else, more important than anything else: "Thank you, thank you, for being willing to tell me. Then, can I ask you about the bad news again?"
"This," Mir did not answer, but asked: "How long have you been in Grayland?"
"At least half a day," Lawrence replied matter-of-factly.
"Hi~ At least half a day, it was already late at night when I came here, so I shouldn't be able to catch up."
"Ah?" Lawrence didn't understand what he was talking about, but before he could ask, he spoke again: "Since you asked, I won't hide it from you. What attacked you was filth, the filth summoned by the believers in the other world. .”
"Heresy!?" Lawrence was a little excited.
"Listen to me first," Mir soothed him with a calm tone: "Your soul has left the body, and the filth is just to occupy your body. It will not hurt anyone for the time being."
Hearing this, Lawrence felt relieved a lot.
But Mir then spoke: "But! Do you still remember what you were doing before you came here? You were holding a wedding with your fiancée, and after he took over your body, tonight, tonight..."
"Please, please stop talking," Lawrence collapsed on the floor helplessly, and even his gray figure dimmed a lot: "I have been in love with her for five years, and we have agreed that we will keep each other's love. Everything, left on the first night of the wedding, I..."
"This is a tragedy," Ellie looked in the direction of Lawrence with a hint of pity.
"This is a scar that cannot be erased in a lifetime. It will be torn apart every night..." Mir stepped forward and wanted to pull him up, but then stopped: "It's better to leave him alone." Just be quiet."
Quiet, silent, shrouded in silence for a long time, just when Mir wanted to step forward to comfort him, a cry of surprise came.
"No!"
Just when Mir thought he finally couldn't bear the blow and collapsed, Lawrence jumped up from the ground in an instant.
"I love her! She loves me too! She will definitely collapse when she knows the truth! I want to go back, I must go back, I want to solve it and hide this fact."
If Mir had a body now, he would definitely have his mouth wide open: "You, you..."
"I love her!" Lawrence's tone was full of faith and determination. This inexplicable faith made him stand up tremblingly and look directly at Him: "I never want her to be hurt in the slightest."
Mir didn't know what to say at this moment, and Ellie also fell silent at this moment.
He didn't know how to describe the man in front of him, but the words he just said swept away Mir's prejudice against nobles, or perhaps it should be said that he wiped away his prejudice against his noble status.
"You," Lawrence said sincerely, "can you send me back? I am willing to give everything, including my soul, as long as I can go back and kill that filth and hide all this forever."
"Can he still go back?" Mir asked silently in his mind, he wanted to help him.
"The soul cannot come to reality, it must be carried by a body, but his body is already carrying filth at the moment," Ellie stated the fact that no one wanted, but the style of the painting changed: "But if the filth is removed."
"That's it," Mir thought for a long time and then slowly said, "I can't send you back. Your body has been occupied. The soul of an ordinary person cannot come to reality alone."
Upon hearing this, Lawrence's belief collapsed in an instant, he knelt on the ground, and collapsed like a drunkard.
"But!" Mil's words came too late, which gave Lawrence a glimmer of hope. "But I can help you remove the filth and then send you back."
"Ha!" Lawrence jumped up from the ground as if he had been pricked by a needle. His depression just seemed like an illusion, but then he felt that he was a little too offended, and said in a sincere tone: "I'm sorry, I was too excited. , are you telling the truth?"
Mir nodded, but Lawrence only saw the world shaking. He felt that this was His affirmation. If he had a body at this time, he would probably have burst into tears: "Thank you, thank you. I don't know how to thank you. I am willing to Give me everything I have, just to fix it, just to protect her.”
"I will," Mir looked at the gray figure in front of him calmly. He no longer looked like a pitiful little dog, and Mir's eyes no longer showed pity. He didn't need pity, no need.
"Ellie, let's go," Mir closed his eyes, his heart gradually sinking in, but then he suddenly opened his eyes: "Wait a minute!"
After being forcibly interrupted, Ellie was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
“Lawrence, you said you turned your pocket watch when your mouth was covered and you couldn’t move.” Mir looked puzzled: “[Level 1 Abnormal Object—Hui Di’s Watch], where do you usually put it? "
"I usually wear it on my chest. After all, it's quite expensive," Lawrence answered honestly.
"6..." A picture suddenly came to Mir's mind:
"Wow, that pocket watch you have on your chest is so beautiful. It must be expensive, right?"
"Of course, this is [Level 1 Abnormal Object—Hui Di's Watch], a Level 1 Abnormal Object!"
