Chapter 3843 Ruined Paradise
"Why?"
Faced with Angel's curious inquiry, Grapnir sighed and explained: "I don't know the specific situation. Zuniga didn't tell me the reason. However, when I went to Prada Media Company just now to find Star Bug,
, met with him privately."
"According to Starworm, the 'time radio' trapped in the photo wall seems to be of great significance to Kaushik."
"Kaushik doesn't believe Starworm didn't get a Time Radio."
"Time Radio" is a nearly advanced monster, and its "challenge mission" cannot only have a countdown of one or two hours.
According to Kaushik's knowledge, the countdown is at least twelve hours.
Therefore, if Starworm said that he "failed the mission", it would be at least twelve hours later.
It only took one or two hours for the starworm to come out of the challenge space. In Kaushik's eyes, there was only one possibility: the starworm challenge was successful.
"If Kaushik doesn't believe it..." Angel: "Starworm can show him the magic book?"
Although "Fashion Magic Book" is a very personal thing, generally speaking, for the sake of privacy and heritage, magicians will not show it to others.
But Starworm's magic book is full of incomplete puzzle pieces, and they are all ordinary low-level monsters. Even if they were given to other magicians in vain, no one would care about them.
He would not be troubled if he showed the magic book to Kaushik.
Gleipnir spread his hands: "Starworm showed the magic book to Kaushik, but Kaushik still didn't believe it."
Kaushik's thoughts were not convoluted. He only had one thought: Even if the starworm did not get the puzzle piece of the time radio, but the puzzle piece disappeared from the starworm, then if he wanted to find the time radio, he still had to get it from the starworm.
Start with insects.
Therefore, Kaushik was unwilling to let the starworm leave no matter what.
"The location where Starworm was before was Prada Media Company. If he really wants to leave, Kaushik won't be able to stop him without using magic, right?"
Once Kaushik uses magic, the magicians of Prada Media Company will definitely sense something strange.
If it attracts the attention of other magicians, all Kaushik can do is to take the starworm away by force.
But Angel had previously sensed it from God's perspective. Although Starworm followed Kaushik, he was not forced to do so. There were no energy traces of fashion magic on him. In other words, Starworm should have followed Kaushik on his own initiative.
of.
Gleipnir: "That's right."
"Starworm does have a chance to leave by force, but Starworm himself doesn't seem to have this idea." Gleipnir: "He told me that he was going to help us find out."
Angel was stunned: "Who are you helping? Help us find out?"
Gleipnir nodded: "Yes, that's what he said. I asked him why, but he didn't tell me, he just said... he had a guess, and he wouldn't find out until he followed Kaushik."
Therefore, Starworm stayed at Prada Media Company and let Gleipnir go to the ceremony location alone.
In the words of Star Bug: "Anyway, the ritual information I got has been given to you. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. If you succeed, I will also complete the main mission with you. It doesn't matter if you have me or not."
"On the contrary, here, if I reject Kaushik today, this side mission may be terminated here."
The above is what Gleipnir knows.
Gleipnir: "I don't know what exactly Starworm discovered, but I guess that he followed Kaushik because he still wanted to complete his side mission 'Time is a Circle'."
Angel nodded. From Starworm's words, we could tell that he was indeed doing Kaushik's side mission. However, Starworm should have "discovered" something, otherwise, he would not have told Gleipnir,
Want to "help them" find out.
"I understand." Angel: "I will continue to pay attention to his situation."
Gleipnir was also a little curious about the situation on the Starworm side: "If you find anything, don't forget to tell me."
"Um."
As Angel spoke, he turned his attention to the North Ninth District.
Starworm was still following Kaushik at this time, and the location they were in was still the "residential area".
Although it is said to be a "residential area", it actually doesn't count. It is a densely packed low-rent area made up of a large number of low-rise bungalows and stacked containers.
In the words of people in the central area, this is actually a slum.
Of course, compared to the "slums" in underground neighborhoods, this low-cost and low-rent area in the North 9th District is relatively safe.
At least Angel glanced over and saw that there were street lights all the way. There were several one-touch alarm buttons on each street. There were also women walking alone, which proved the safety here. However, the vast majority of women walking alone were under street lights.
He leaned down and wandered at the entrance of the alley, as if waiting for something.
Starworm and Kaushik seemed to have been walking through the low-rent area without knowing where they were going. In addition, they didn't speak. Angel could only stare at them for a while. After confirming that they would not reach their destination in a short time, he silently withdrew his gaze.
…
Wanming Street.
This is a very special street because half of it is in tunnels.
Because the Eighth Town is built in a huge abandoned reservoir, the space is relatively wide compared to other underground towns.
As for Wanming Street, half of the area is within the original reservoir, while the other half is a relatively narrow tunnel that was man-made on the "pool wall".
This tunnel leads to another smaller, empty cave, and that cave is where the "Ruined Battlefield" is located.
At this time, Angel and Gleipnir had already entered the tunnel.
Compared with the neon light pollution outside, the light in the tunnel is obviously much dimmer. Only a few small shops opened in the tunnel can be seen, with a little light at the door.
Under the illumination of these lights, we can see that the tunnel road is actually not smooth and there are many lumps of earth.
From time to time, you can still see a pool of old water that has been accumulated for an unknown period of time.
Under the dim light, you can see small, dark insects jumping around inside.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world disappeared in the tunnel. The air was relatively humid, with a smell of moss and mold, but Angel personally felt that this smell was compared to the pungent lamplight in the center of the Eighth Town. The smell of paint should be good.
At least the smell here is "natural", while the outside world looks bright, but it has a significant smell of pollution.
The Wanming Street tunnel is very quiet, but that doesn't mean there's no one here.
There were even a lot of people coming and going, but these people seemed to lower their voices subconsciously as soon as they entered the tunnel, as if they were afraid that their voices would disturb other people.
After walking for about two or three minutes, they finally passed through this irregular artificial tunnel.
Graipnir remained silent in the tunnel until he came out and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that there's something wrong with that tunnel..."
"Obviously I can hear someone whispering, but I still feel it's a bit too quiet."
"It's as if walking into this tunnel from the town is like entering two worlds."
The former is noisy, the latter is peaceful.
Angel: "Your senses are very keen. The air there is indeed filled with energy."
After a pause, Angel said, "Do you remember that there is a flower shop in the center of the tunnel?"
Graipnir recalled for a moment and nodded: "Remember, it was a very warm-looking flower shop, and the clerk was a mutant."
The reason why Gleipnir was so impressed was because the mutant had two slender organs that looked like octopus tentacles on his face.
The mutant clerk stood in front of the counter, recording the bill with a pen in the dim light.
And his two tentacles each carried a water bottle and sprayed water on the surrounding flowers.
It's not that Gleipnir has never seen people with tentacles, but this one has them on his cheeks, which makes him look quite scary. So, he was very impressed.
"This mutant is a magician." Angel paused: "Probably a magician from the creative series, because he created the peaceful atmosphere around him. The energy in the air comes from creative points. ."
"He is a magician?" Gleipnir was stunned.
Angel nodded: "Moreover, he should be a powerful magician. He almost always maintains a peaceful aura around him. Were you in the tunnel just now and didn't want to speak?"
Gleipnir nodded.
"This is the effect of that tranquil aura." Angel: "Although I don't know the name of this magic, we have experienced the effect just now... Don't speak unless necessary, and even if you speak, you will deliberately lower your voice. "
It is a relatively mild magic.
He does not force people to be silent. When something important happens, he will still say it, just in a lower voice. But if it is not something particularly important, he will subconsciously not want to speak.
Even if a magician sees this kind of magic, he won't be offended.
