Chapter 1193 Crossing the Border
In fact, not much can be translated from the incomplete notebook. Most of the content cannot be deciphered because the preface does not match the postscript, but just the translated part is enough to become a crucial clue.
As the data terminal interpreted the remaining parts of the notes, Hao Ren was finally able to piece together some of the situation that year.
Only part of Pierre's investigation was true, and the real situation was far from the spirit detective's investigation.
This "family" is not so depressed - in fact, judging from the contents of the notes, this family is not an exiled nobleman during the French Revolution at all. They do have great strength, but they are not an aristocratic family. The specific situation in this regard has not been recorded in the notes, but it can be determined that among the many challenges this family faced at that time, the only one that did not have the impact of secular forces was the impact of secular forces. There was only one reason why their family moved to this place, and that was Ying Fernan. That is, Hercules came for help.
This mysterious family seems to have known Hercules from a long time ago and knows the identity of the descendant of Olympus. They also know the artifact that Hercules carries with him, but they don't seem to be interested in this treasure. This family The only reason for coming here is because Hercules suffered a backlash from some "unspeakable dark force", and they came to help suppress it.
And when Heracles finally lost control of himself, he was killed and suppressed.
This dark power that backfired on its master seemed to come from the artifact that Hercules carried with him.
Pieces of fragmented text were reorganized, and the data terminal projected them all in the air:
"...The construction of the magic tower went very smoothly. The poor locals did not care who they worked for, nor did they care about the meanings of the symbols and magic items. As long as they had enough money... they could overlook the high ground of the village... as a means of suppression. column.
"...there was a huge noise...Heracles came to visit on a rainy night, and his body turned into a terrifying appearance, causing a stir in the village...We should prepare for the worst, but Sivir became interested in the artifact and thought that something else could be used. Way...to extract its power to slow down Hercules..."
Vivian interpreted these two paragraphs: "It seems to mean that this family has built a stronghold in the forest, which is where we are. It is a magic center and can observe the situation of the entire village. At the same time, The corrosion that occurred on Hercules was getting worse and worse, to the point where he was starting to harm innocent people, so he came to seek further help. From here on, the family's attention shifted to the piece in Hercules' hands. Regarding the artifact, it seems that they are trying to extract the power of the artifact through artificial control methods to inhibit Hercules’ transformation.”
Lily touched her chin and nodded: "According to the general script, this is the beginning of seeking death. According to the current situation, they are really dead."
Hao Ren pointed to the text that was parsed next: "Yes, it is obvious that their research on the artifact has caused problems. Here: '... leads to a dark cursed realm, and there is a path outside our real world. The border... is only frenzy and noise.' The following paragraphs are unclear. At the end, it is mentioned that they seemed to have accidentally opened a door, or some evil force that had been sealed opened a crack, and They failed to stop this."
Afterwards, the second half of the note became scrawled and messy. Even if the text could be restored, many of the contents in it lost their meaning because they were too crazy and obscure. From the records of only a few words, we can only roughly judge. Some members of this family were bewitched by a crazy will lodged in the artifact. Although they had realized that this crazy will would cause unimaginable disasters to the real world once it was freed from its restraints, they still insisted on concealing the expansion of the rift. , and eventually everything gets out of control.
"...the last barrier of the border has been opened, and our real world is about to be exposed to its gaze," Hao Ren pointed to the last paragraph of text in the note, "...we can finally get a glimpse of the world on the other side of the border. , and learned that it represents the dark side of the entire universe, however... it continues to seep in, but there is no way to stop it. The blind and crazy power is polluting this land. Our foolishness has finally led to the greatest consequences... We must stop it. More people are trapped in disaster and can only make sacrifices..."
The last few pages of the notebook were missing. They were not destroyed in the fire, but showed obvious signs of being torn off. It seemed that the person who recorded all of this was worried that some of the most important secrets would be known, so he simply destroyed them completely.
Vivian is very familiar with things in the magic field: "Judging from the symbols on the first few pages, the last few pages probably record the specific rituals and locations where they sealed this evil force. If some mentally ill Zhongerji Mieshi If the enthusiasts get these records, they may reverse the ritual and release the sealed things, so destroying the last records is a wise move. But this will cause us a lot of trouble."
Hao Ren put the incomplete notebook into his pocket and felt that things seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction: "What do you think is the 'evil force' they face?"
"The power of the artifact next to Heracles is obviously very bat-like," Lily crossed her arms and swung her tail around, "so the evil power sealed in the artifact must be the evil thought body of the bat - that thing Isn’t it a catastrophe for mankind?”
The cans and bottles in Hao Ren's pocket immediately started to sway in response to the situation, and a thin voice yelled from inside: "His ha——"
Hao Ren took out the can and shook it for a while, then heard the constant ping-ping-pong-pong collision sounds from the can. After a while, it became completely quiet inside.
Anyway, now everyone has figured it out. If you want to calm this little evil spirit, you can only use coercive measures: this little thing can't communicate at all!
"I also thought about the evil mind body," Hao Ren carefully opened the cap of the can and made sure that the little one was just holding his head and huddled up but not injured, and then continued to express his opinion, "Of course he is not this kind of noob - he is Vivian's 'normal' evil thoughts body, but there is one thing that is not clear. This notebook and the previous undead have been emphasizing the 'boundary' and 'crossing the boundary'. What does this mean?"
Vivian thought for a while: "It sounds like some kind of different space, or a tunnel leading to a different space. Wizards often use this ambiguous description to describe the magic field. They are used to using 'boundary', ' Another world' and other words to describe the supernatural world."
"So, that artifact opened a tunnel to another space and summoned some evil force from the other space to the earth..." Hao Ren guessed, "But this is not the same as the evil we know. The spirits are different: So far, except for the evil spirits found on the Purgatory Planet, all the evil entities were splintered by Vivian during her life on the earth. These evil entities are committed to destroying the world on the earth. It seems that There is no tendency to burrow into a different space. Even if it is sealed in some small secret realm, the owner of the note would not describe that place as 'the dark side of the universe'... It always feels like it is too exaggerated."
At this time, the little evil spirit became energetic again: "His ha——"
"Oh, some evil thoughts have a tendency to burrow into mouse holes. Can't this little thing be completely quiet for a while?"
Vivian looked at the can in Hao Ren's hand: "Are you hungry?"
"No, it's not quite there yet," Hao Ren glanced at the little one in the can, who was jumping up and down like a convulsion inside, "Speaking of which, why is she so... wait a minute, isn't this little thing in a bad situation? wrong?"
"Hiss—scared! Ha!!" The little evil mind was tossing crazily in the can, making random noises while bumping around. Usually when she was tossing, it was to attack someone around her, but this time This time she jumped up and down as if she had no goal at all, as if the surrounding environment was stimulating her into a frenzy. Hao Ren could tell at a glance that this little one was in an abnormal state. However, no one had the ability to communicate with evil thoughts, and no one knew what was going on.
And at this moment, the undead soul that had been silent all this time suddenly made a sound again, just a long sigh: "Alas..."
As the sigh fell, Hao Ren suddenly felt a shaking under his feet, and the surrounding scene started to spin!
The ruins of the dilapidated ancient house collapsed, dazzling lightning flashed across the cloudy sky, and the strong wind roared through the forest, bringing with it bursts of shrill howls among the rugged ancient trees!
This process lasted for just half a minute, and then all the howling winds gradually calmed down. The ruins of the collapsed houses began to quickly restore themselves. The beams that fell on the ground returned to the air. The furniture that was beyond recognition, the porcelain that turned into pieces, and the pieces of porcelain that were broken into pieces were destroyed by the fire. In the portrait, everything seems to have gone back in time and regained its former splendor.
Just a few minutes later, Hao Ren found himself standing inside a gorgeous aristocratic mansion, surrounded by bright lights and bright decorations, while faint human voices were coming from the front.
