Chapter 66 Phantom Clock Tower

Leaning by the window, staring at the street dotted with gas lamps outside the window below, Yago breathed a sigh of relief, and his black eyes turned to stare at the beak mask that had been cleaned and wiped in his hand.

He tried to visualize again, and under the gathering of spiritual mist, he synchronized vision and inspiration.

The beak mask in his hand still didn't show any unusual images in his eyes.

Not even a trace of spiritual mist emerged, and the bird's beak mask looked quite normal.

But the sense of "corpse" lingering on the beak mask has never dissipated.

When he released his vision, the beak mask wouldn't make him feel anything.

Something to do with the "Gravekeeper", or something to do with the "Gambler"?

Yago carefully returned to Halls' residence, took off another coat, and stuffed the original coat under the bed.

Because Shuge was grabbing the bloody mask and covering his face, the police coat on his body was already stained with blood, and he couldn't wear that coat to act on the street.

However, because he was worried about being caught by the Extraordinary, he changed into another windbreaker, roughly cleaned the beak mask, wiped it casually, and left immediately.

Now, he is not close to the stronghold of the traveling troupe, but is staying in another hotel.

The bird's beak mask is dark gray in color, shaped like a bird's beak, with two slender, eye-shaped openings in the eyes, and black lenses embedded in it.

It does look like a crow, like a skull.

Because of his study of folklore, he has studied the strange history of why cats were slaughtered in Europe, and then he learned about witch hunting and plague, so he is no stranger to beak masks.

However, he remembered that the beak masks seemed to be made of silver?

"Can it be used as a blood reserve bottle or something?"

He touched his teeth, doubting very much whether he could bite.

However, when he looked inside the mask, he found a faint blue gem on his forehead.

"Glass?"

With the dim light from the gray moon in the sky, Yago opened his eyes and looked at the gemstone.

Previously, he mainly used spiritual vision to observe whether there was a spiritual mist to confirm, but he didn't even notice that there was a gem in it.

Stretching out his hand to touch it, he, who is not a gem lover, couldn't tell what kind of gem or glass it was.

However, at this moment, he discovered that there was a circle of small words around the gemstone, just like the extremely small fonts that were printed in a cheat sheet before an exam.

I can't read it, it's a script he doesn't know, it's not Cartesian or Arabic, and there are some places that I can't read clearly.

If you can see it clearly.

Yago thought so.

By the way, you can use subtitles.

He remembered the subtitles that he had turned off because he found them annoying and weird.

Opening the system skillfully, the old book in my mind turned to the fifth page, and the setting interface was displayed——

[With or without subtitles: No] → [With or without subtitles: Yes]

Yago turned on the subtitle function.

However, what he saw was not the unfamiliar characters, but the familiar Chinese.

【Three Guards · Gatekeeper】

Yago was a little surprised.

Because, in coc games, there is a branch skill of [language]. The initial value of the character's native language is 80, but the initial value of other languages ​​is only 1.

Character's native language text, the system will display the corresponding text according to the language selection.

As for the language that the character does not know, even if the language is simplified Chinese, the displayed subtitles will still retain the original text, and the translation can only be given after passing the "language" skill.

But now, he has no language skills, he doesn't even know the script.

Because the language setting of "Witcher Sequence" is different?

Yago looked at the subtitles that only he could see, and thought with a little doubt.

But in any case, it is an established fact that the text has been translated.

What are the three guards?

What is a gatekeeper?

These two short nouns made Yago frown.

Is the name of this beak mask? Or the title of the person who made this beak mask? Or is it the identity of the person wearing the mask?

Three guards? Guard what? Watchmen? Which door to look at? Is there any treasure?

Holding the mask in both hands, Yago thought with some doubts.

Afterwards, he looked at the Mistcrow Hugein who got into his pocket.

Why did Shugeyin put this mask on his face before?

However, Shugein the Mistcrow could not understand his words and did not respond to his words.

It made Yago want to use speaking skills or persuasion skills, but unfortunately speaking skills and persuasion can only make his words effective for others, but cannot make him understand the words of the fog crow.

Can subtitles be translated?

Thinking about this, Yago tried to put the mask on his face.

The moment he put on the mask, Yago heard a bell.

Clang. Clang. Clang.

The sound was long and long, as if it came from an infinite distance.

Subsequently, the bell gradually increased.

Amidst the continuous ringing of the bell, from a third-person perspective, Yago saw from above obliquely that at the moment he put on the mask, black shadows poured out from the bird's beak mask, engulfing his body. Wrapped around, forming a black robe.

A black robe covered the whole body, and a hood-like black shadow was formed on the head, only the dark gray beak was exposed.

and

His feet disappeared.

Like a ghost, the end of the robe floats in the air, but the legs are not exposed.

The robe ends down like nothing.

This abnormal scene made Yago feel a little nervous.

However, soon, he felt that his legs were still there, and he felt that he did not lack any body parts.

Then, he reached down and lifted the robe floating in the air

nothing.

Not only the feet, but even the legs, and even the body all disappeared, and the inside was empty, as if he was a floating robe.

He stretched out his hand to touch, but also found nothing, but it felt like his limbs were still there.

The difference between what he saw and what he felt gave him a phantom-like sense of contradiction.

However, at this moment, he was stunned to find out.

Everything around, everything has changed.

The originally clear entity seemed to have become blurred in his vision.

It's as if these scenes are illusory, projected phantoms.

All of them are.

Whether it was the brilliant full moon in the sky, everything in the hotel room he was in, or the streetscape scorched by gas lamps looking down, all turned gray.

Although it's not so hard to see clearly, there is no doubt that everything has become a blurred phantom.

Only one building does not.

Standing under the moonlight, a dilapidated small clock tower.
