Chapter 789 The Hiding Place in the Thick Fog

A thick fog blocked everyone, almost as thick as a wall. Hao Ren stopped in front of the thick fog and looked to both sides. He found that the wall of fog spread to the end of his field of vision and gradually closed in the distance.

Thick fog blocked the entire town, and there was no road ahead.

"I'm afraid this is the boundary of the town." Vivian also stopped. She carefully put her hand into the dense fog, and a strange, smooth and warm touch came from the fog, " The scope of the secret realm is limited, and there should be no way to go further."

"Why don't you leave? Follow up, follow up -" Haimowen's voice came from the side. He was about to step into the fog, but found that Hao Ren and the others were stopped in place, "Hurry up, hurry up, Hurry, the devil may escape..."

"Can't you see such a heavy fog?" Hao Ren pointed to the wall of fog in front of him, "No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't go in."

Heimerwin was a little stunned. He turned to look at the edge of the town shrouded in thick fog: "Fog? What kind of fog? Is there any better weather than this? I can see the shadow of the old mill from here."

Everyone was stunned: this "ghost" could not see the thick fog blocking the border of the town.

Just when Hao Reng was about to ask something more, Heimerwin had already raised his legs and walked into the wall of fog, and then a magical scene appeared:

As Hemmerwin stepped forward, the thick fog around him slowly receded as if alive. Shadows of roads and vegetation gradually appeared in the originally chaotic fog, as if these things were born from the fog. Appears suddenly and extends forward along Heimerwein's footsteps.

Hao Ren didn't know what happened, but he still pulled Vivian's arm: "Everyone, follow."

The thick fog seemed to have no end. It was overwhelming and completely blocked the entire space outside the town. Within a few minutes after entering the thick fog, everyone could no longer see the direction they came from. They could only see the endless fog in all directions in the distance. The team continued to roll a few meters away, and the road extended forward within this extremely limited range. In this chaos, Lily grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve uneasily: "Landlord, will we get lost?"

"You can't lower your head and smell it yourself?" Vivian rolled her eyes at Lily, "As a canine creature, you are afraid of getting lost, and your talent is all about eating spicy sticks?"

Lily blinked and rubbed her nose: "That's right."

"It's okay," Hao Ren comforted her, "I just left the beacon transmitter at the entrance of the thick fog. Don't get separated. We can teleport back."

Nangong Wuyue looked at Hemerwin who was walking in front and tugged on his brother's sleeve: "Why can a ghost open a path in the thick fog?"

"Because he 'remembers' these," Nangong Sanba frowned, "Although I am not sure of the principle, it seems that this town is composed of two parts: the main body of the town is the real material world, and all the supernatural parts - such as The spirit body, soot, Heimerwin himself and the thick fog that blocked the town are all derived from 'memory'. Think of the entire town as a huge consciousness, and the remaining things that happened to it in its memory become We can see the phenomena before us. Because memory is always unstable, these phenomena are basically supernatural."

Hao Ren looked at Nangong Sanba in confusion: "Why do you suddenly know so much?"

"I have learned nothing else in the past hundred years but how to deal with the ghost world," Nangong Sanba puffed up his chest quite proudly, "Werewolves can't be beaten, and vampires can't be offended. If you want to make a living, you can only help. People hunt ghosts and so on. But this is the first time I have seen such a large-scale spiritual realm, but no matter how big the scale is, the basic principles are the same. Matter, memory, and soul together constitute a supernatural space, which is what we see It’s like this.”

Hao Ren sighed, wondering how Nangong Sanba could confidently say "Werewolves can't be beaten, and vampires can't be offended"...

Under the leadership of Heimerwin, everyone went deep into the thick fog. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hao Ren noticed that the road under his feet turned uphill: the team should be climbing up a gentle plateau. Hesiana asked the temporary guide in front of her impatiently: "Hammerwin, how far is it?"

Heimerwin was startled by the sudden sound behind him. He shrunk his neck and pointed forward: "Oh, right in front, right in front, you can already see it, that black house is - ah, But when I woke up, it turned out like this.”

Others couldn't see where the "house" in Hemmerwin's eyes was, so no one said anything until after walking for a while, the upward gentle slope gradually became straight, and the team finished the slope and came to an open area. On the flat ground, they finally saw the so-called "Wizard's Hideout".

A large dilapidated old house stood alone in the open land in front, surrounded by thick fog, which made it look even more shadowy and eerie. The structure of the big house is very simple, with two floors. There are no extra outbuildings around it except for a small Ma Peng. But judging from the size, it can be judged that it was once a building that belonged to the rich: at least the common people of that era. It is impossible to afford a mansion with such regulations.

Heimerwin shrank back in fear and pointed at the entrance of the big house: "He lives here and almost never lets people approach him."

Hao Ren said "oh" and looked at the appearance of the house curiously when he got closer. He found that except for the main entrance, all the windows of the building had been nailed shut with wooden boards. Occasionally, there were a few rotten window panels showing the gaps. You can also see the thick old black cloth behind it. This entire building is therefore highly enclosed, and normal people would never live in this kind of house.

Vivian glanced at Heimerwin: "You haven't gone in to see it either?"

"I...went in once." Heimerwin was a little scared. "It was full of filthy and blasphemous things. All kinds of deviant books were piled on the table."

"Now it sounds like you are quite resistant to that 'scholar'," Hao Ren stared at the change in Heimerwin's expression, "but according to our investigation, you trust the 'scholar' so much that you almost want to hire him as a consultant. And you often discuss issues together.”

Heimerwin was startled, and a look of disgust and uneasiness quickly appeared on his face: "I was bewitched at that time! It was magic, the power of black magic! The devil used magic to brainwash me. I can't even remember it clearly now. What did I do while I was under control? But I am awake now and can remember some of the things that happened at that time... It seems that what you said is right. The devil is really dead, and the spell he cast on me has faded. ”

"Perhaps so," Hao Ren nodded perfunctorily, dragging Heimerwin towards the house, "You come in too, I need you to continue to be the guide."

Hemerwin resisted for a while, seeming to be still wary of the house, but after seeing the malicious looks in Cassandra and Hesiana's eyes, he calmed down and bowed his head obediently to show his cooperation.

With a "squeak", Hao Ren pushed open the dusty door, and immediately a lot of dust fell from the door frame. He took two steps back, waited for the dust to disperse, and then walked in first.

Lily once again drew the weapon of fire to serve as lighting. The moment the weapon appeared out of thin air, Heimerwin softly screamed in surprise, only to be stabbed by Duncan with the hilt of his rapier.

The big house is very messy, with large tables and wooden shelves filled with various equipment placed everywhere. Fortunately, the objects and books on these tables and shelves are obviously related to black magic: this is indeed what the wizard once said. Used place.

"The fog doesn't seem to have invaded this house," Lily sniffed while checking the furnishings in the room. Her nose was very sensitive to the thick fog outside. She sneezed several times when she was outside, and now after entering the house Much more comfortable, "And it's strange, there is no dust here."

There was a thick layer of dust everywhere in the house, but not the black ash: the strange ash phenomenon seemed to be limited to the town.

The team began to look through the materials and books left by the wizard on the table. Heimerwin found that no one was paying attention to him. He sniffed, found a corner and sat down carefully, as still as a stone statue.

Hao Ren saw a big book open on the big table in the center of the room. Looking up from the book, he read a sentence that caught his attention:

"On the other side of the gate, lies the secret knowledge of the Twisted Realm."
