The time was later than expected. It was already late at night when Jiang Chenchuan arrived at the Duanting Mansion. He vaguely felt the twisted aura and looked at the mansion uneasily. The shadow in the darkness was like a dormant huge beast.
I walked to the door with my cane and found some rust. There was some movement in the grass. I picked up the lantern and illuminated it. I found a dark kitten with two eyes that glowed faintly under the reflection of the light. .
The cat sprang out from the grass, rubbed against Jiang Chenchuan's feet, and then ducked into the door. After taking two steps, he turned back, as if signaling for Jiang Chenchuan to follow it in.
I heard that this was a cat sending a signal to people for help. I saw the kitten turned around after a few steps. It was originally black hair, but it disappeared bit by bit into the darkness and could not be seen.
Jiang Chenchuan did not follow rashly. When he used his sword to split the lock on the door, his intuition told him bluntly not to go inside again.
Something is wrong.
It seems that there is a distortion happening, not from darkness, nor from malice, but a more wonderful illusion that makes it lose consciousness.
What is it?
Jiang Chenchuan had to find the source of the strangeness, or else he would put himself in danger. It seemed that someone was watching him, and the malicious eyes were very visible. Dark malice was squeezing towards Jiang Chenchuan from all directions. It's as if time has stopped...
etc!
time?
Jiang Chenchuan finally realized where the strange feeling was coming from. He took out his pocket watch. The hands and minute hands on the dial were rotating crazily, and they were rotating in different directions.
Even if you use force to change it, you can't reverse the strangeness of time. Time has a special concept and is not similar to ordinary relics. Jiang Chenchuan was deep in thought and didn't notice at all that the hour and minute hands on the dial gradually disappeared.
Click——
There was a soft sound, and several cracks appeared on the dial.
"Oh oh oh... Thank God, I can actually leave the museum underground one day... I can't remember how many years it has been... Oh, my God, it's my friend! Evel, where is this?"
A familiar voice came to his ears, and to Jiang Chenchuan's surprise, Leonid actually appeared in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that everything below the knees was transparent, one would have doubted whether Leonid had come back to life again.
"Ah, the great World Tree... He is still exactly the same as in my memory... This is probably the greatest significance of my existence until now!"
Leonid looked in the direction of the World Tree and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Leonid."
Looking at the damaged pocket watch in his hand, Jiang Chenchuan probably guessed something. Although the relic did not run away on its own, but Leonid appeared here and the relic was lost, the poor person on duty would probably be detained for a long time. A salary.
It is hard to imagine that the museum displays are all illusions created by Leonid, and the true form of the 305 time pocket watch will be in the hands of Jiang Chenchuan.
"That's right, Yvel, there's something I forgot to tell you last time... I published a book before. If you really want to learn... Oh, wait, what is this... How could this happen? There is such a chaotic and twisted place…”
Only then did Leonid notice the existence of Duanting Mansion. He could see the strangeness of the mansion at a glance, and in the distortion of time, he could distinguish the real passage.
"Can you see anything?"
"Chaos, endless chaos, as if something has forcibly kneaded time together. To give a more understandable example, time is the same in every space, like there are countless parallel lines. No one interferes with the other, and when distortion is discovered at a certain point, it forms a space vortex, and people at different times may meet in the same space."
In this regard, Leonid can be regarded as a semi-expert. Coupled with the special nature of his ghost, he can see many things that Jiang Chenchuan cannot see.
"Can I go in then?"
"Of course you can, but you have to be careful... Once you enter the space vortex, it will be difficult to leave."
Leonid patiently explained that to him, Jiang Chenchuan was considered a smart student who understood quickly.
"It's like being trapped in an alchemical formation. Unless you break the eye of the formation, you won't be able to leave."
"You can say that, but there are some essential differences... In short, finding the source of the distortion can solve the problem."
After Leonid finished speaking, he fell into a brief silence. Jiang Chenchuan stared at the dark mansion in the distance without speaking.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. The meaning of discipline is to explore the essence. As long as you know the essence, even distortions have laws. Come on, follow me."
Leonid's words made Jiang Chenchuan feel relieved. He took a step forward, like a high-altitude rope. There were endless abyss on both sides and only a narrow road.
Meow~
The cat's cry came from the darkness, and the pair of green eyes made him feel uncomfortable. They were strange and solemn. He followed the ghost Leonid and went deeper step by step. The road was shorter than expected. We soon arrived in front of the mansion.
"arrive."
The gate is right in front of you. Unlike all others, Jiang Chenchuan's gate is locked. No matter what method you use, you can't open the door. In the end, Leonid relied on his strength to pass through the gate and break the lock. Come on.
Crunch——
The sound of the door opening was very loud, which was very abrupt in the dark night, but this was the independent mansion of the Horst family, so it would not attract much attention. Under the illumination of the lantern, the door was pushed open.
There was a ray of light in the dark mansion. Before I took two steps, something seemed to be mentioned at my feet. I lowered my head and took a look. It was an opened box. It was half-covered. It looked familiar. It reminded me of early winter. The box looked like it was still covered with some dust.
Even so, Jiang Chenchuan could feel something, an unspeakable feeling of nausea, constantly rising up.
"Evel, be careful, I think this thing inside is dangerous."
Leonid kindly reminded that even ghosts can sense dangerous things, which made Jiang Chenchuan a little wary and curious at the same time.
He used his cane to hook out the leather strap, and with a gentle pull, the box was opened and the light source of the lantern came closer.
Jiang Chenchuan could clearly see that there was an embryo placed in the box, which seemed to be still breathing. It seemed that he could see a hazy face, mixed with nightmare-like murmurs, and the arms inside the film slowly She stretched out her hand toward him and spread her palm, as if asking for something from him.
"Evel!"
Leonid spoke up in time.
Da Meng woke up, and when Jiang Chenchuan looked at the box again, it was just an ordinary white square box.
What embryo, what arm,
Neither exists.
