Looking at the only brightly lit castle in Night Mountain, Mr. Sun said softly: "The prediction the teacher received did not clearly indicate whether the 'abnormality' was a living or dead thing."
"The only thing that can be determined is that the approximate location of the 'abnormality' is the Night Mountain."
Abnormality generally refers to some special phenomenon that goes against common sense. This special phenomenon may be a strange phenomenon born in nature, or it may be a wonder caused by a certain creature.
It covers a wide range, and there are many types of abnormalities.
Many visions are even very hidden.
Just like a grass that originally could only bloom three leaves, it is affected by some unknown secret and blooms one more leaf. If this unknown secret comes from an inexplicable power, then this is actually an anomaly.
But many times, it is difficult for you to find out. Because when natural selection occurs, four-leaf clovers will also appear. It is difficult for you to judge whether the four-leaf clover in front of you is due to abnormal influence or natural selection.
As a legendary wizard, he can distinguish all four-leaf clovers in an entire garden in an instant. But the underlying logic of the formation of four-leaf clovers, even for a legendary wizard, requires a little bit of calculation and a little bit of identification.
This is why, if there is just an "abnormality", Teacher Wanwanshu will send a legendary wizard like Ms. Moon to investigate.
"Let's start with living creatures." Mr. Sun pointed to the castle below: "As the masters of civilization, the probability of human beings forming anomalies is definitely much greater than natural selection."
Ms. Moon: "When I came here just now, I took a quick look. There are not many people in this castle. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. They probably came from Dawn City to take care of themselves."
"Except for the old and weak, there are just some cats and dogs. It seems that the owner of the castle likes cats and dogs very much."
Juanjuan: "People who like cats are good people!"
Ms. Moon reached out angrily and flicked her tired head: "Now is not the time to judge good and bad people...I mean, I don't see anything unusual in the castle."
Mr. Sun: "There are many anomalies. It is difficult to see the anomalies without carefully analyzing the underlying logic."
In other words, it is difficult for Ms. Moon to detect the underlying logic just by glancing at it.
Ms. Moon: "You mean..."
Mr. Sun put his arm around Ms. Moon's shoulders: "I mean, let's take a close look together."
When he said 'together', he deliberately emphasized his tone.
Ms. Yue was stunned, lowered her head, and her face turned red: "...listen to you."
Mr. Sun immediately laughed loudly.
Juanjuan rolled his eyes: "Annoying couple."
Especially couples who are in love are the most annoying.
After a while, Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun stood outside the castle in Night Mountain.
Looking at the classical and quiet castle in front of her, a trace of nostalgia flashed through Ms. Moon's eyes: "This is a Roshiki-style castle..."
The Roshiki style is a unique architectural style of the Dasman Empire, with gardens, statues, and a city with three gates, six guards, and eight directions.
However, although this style of architecture originated from the Dasman Empire, it is now more popular in foreign countries. Because the Roshiqi style is too elegant and gentle, it does not conform to the current national conditions.
Today's Dasman Empire pursues religious solemnity, and its buildings are mostly related to religion, which look both steady and complicated.
"Speaking of which, before Luo Shiqi died, I met him once." Ms. Moon: "He was a very classical architect. At that time, his architectural style was still criticized by his colleagues. But I liked it very much.
My first castle was built by inviting Luo Shiqi."
Because of this, Lady Moon felt quite warm when she saw the Roshiki-style castle.
"When Luo Shiqi died, I asked for leave and came all the way from Crow Castle to attend his funeral." Ms. Moon sighed softly: "To put it bluntly, this was more than two thousand years ago.
It’s over.”
Mr. Sun gently stroked Ms. Moon's hair: "If you like Roshiki-style architecture, we will also build one next to the Prophet's Temple."
Ms. Moon smiled shyly and pushed Mr. Sun away: "I think so too, but the prophet in the temple probably won't agree."
Mr. Sun: "It's okay, just build it far away."
Ms. Moon lowered her head: "Then... I'll listen to you."
Mr. Sun's hearty laughter echoed under the night sky again.
His tired eyes rolled up to the sky.
"Let's go in." Ms. Moon gently raised her white hand and moved forward. A soft light flickered, forming a moon gate in front.
"In order to avoid trouble, we should enter the moon-shaped realm to hide ourselves."
The so-called "trouble" does not mean that I am worried about being seen, but that I am afraid of affecting the "abnormality". If the "abnormality" this time is a living person, maybe because of their appearance, the underlying logic of the abnormality will be disturbed.
Hidden deeper.
Therefore, in order to facilitate observation, it is better to hide and observe.
Mr. Sun praised him and took the lead in stepping into the Moon Gate in front of him.
Ms. Moon also entered it.
As they entered the Moon Gate, the surrounding vision was slowly covered with a layer of faint light. This was the "moon-shaped realm", a special invisibility technique.
Its principle is very complicated, but it can be understood as a weakened version of the inner world.
If the distance between the surface world and the inner world is 1, then the distance between the moon-shaped realm and the surface world is 1.
Infinitely close to the surface world, but ultimately different from the surface world, nor does it belong to the mezzanine.
It is a special hidden world.
They can observe everything in the surface world without worrying about being discovered. Because fundamentally, they have already left reality.
but……
Although Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun entered the moon-shaped realm, Juanjuan was locked out of the moon gate by them.
"I haven't gone in yet!" Juanjuan raised his head and looked forward. In reality, there was nothing in front of him, but Juanjuan's eyes could penetrate reality and observe the two people in the moon-shaped realm.
Ms. Moon smiled and waved her hand: "There are many cats in the castle, and these cats are free-range. Many of them are wild cats that come from the surrounding woods."
"So, you don't have to come in. You can sneak into the castle directly and no one will notice anything unusual."
Even if Weary was discovered, he would at best think it was a wild cat that ran in from outside. The servants in the castle also treated wild cats equally, and would not even raise their eyes as long as they were not causing trouble.
"You're just doing this to a poor little kitten?!" Juanjuan jumped up and down.
Ms. Moon: "After all, we are separated by a space, and many things cannot be sensed in time. If you are outside, the sensing will be faster. Help us investigate, and you don't have to worry about being found to be abnormal."
"Isn't this a matter of killing two birds with one stone?"
Juanjuan: "I said before, today's affairs are not my business!"
Ms. Moon didn't care at all and pretended not to hear: "Look, there is a cat coming to greet you..."
Juanjuan raised his head, and sure enough, a big three-flowered cat jumped out from behind the statue's fountain not far away.
From a human point of view, this big cat with a three-flowered face and a black nose is not very cute; but in the eyes of cats, this big cat is simply a peerless beauty.
Even though he had seen a lot of things in the world, Fuyi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a big beautiful cat.
What a beautiful kitten…
Unfortunately, he is a male.
The big three-flowered cat glanced at the dark Juanjuan, squinting his eyes slightly, not feeling good; then he looked at the crescent moon mark on Juanjuan's head, it was so ugly...
——I originally thought there was a new beautiful cat joining the family, but I didn’t expect it to be a clown cat. However, the owner of this family seems to like ugly kittens.
What a...stupid human being.
The big three-flower cat shook her head and turned around to leave without hesitation.
Juanjuan: “???”
Ms. Moon: "Why did this cat come and go? Didn't it come to greet you?"
Juanjuan: "..." No, it came to laugh at me.
Damn it, even though it was laughed at, I still think it is beautiful!
Of course, Juanjuan would not say these words, but simply said: "The minds of these kittens are weaker than those of human two- or three-year-old children. Do you think they know how to 'greet'?"
"That's true." Ms. Moon showed a look of enlightenment: "But speaking of it, human children of two or three years old should already be able to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, right?"
Juanjuan: "...can't."
He held his head high, tired and too lazy to pay attention to Ms. Moon, and jumped directly into the first door among the three doors and six guards.
The so-called "three gates, six guards and eight directions city" refers to the regulations of Luo Shiqi style architecture.
The three gates refer to the three gates that must be passed through before entering the main castle.
The Six Guards refer to the six small satellite buildings near the castle.
Bafangcheng refers to the landform, such as octagon.
After passing the first door, you will see the statue fountain and the garden connected to the forest. There are a large number of wild cats in this area.
Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun were in the moon-shaped realm, observing their surroundings carefully.
About ten minutes passed.
They didn't notice anything wrong here, it was just an ordinary scene.
Juan Juan entered the second door again. Behind the door was a long corridor and a tree-lined avenue. There were many specially planted ornamental trees here, but there were not many people, and there were not even many cats and dogs.
A lot.
Because servants usually feed wild cats and dogs near the first door. The area behind the second door is purely a transition area.
After checking this area, they found nothing wrong.
Finally, Juanjuan came to the third door.
The third door is the main entrance of the castle. At this time, the castle gate has been closed, and it is impossible to enter through the main entrance.
However, this was not a problem for Weary, as it jumped to the balcony on the second floor, followed the open window, and got into the castle.
There are four floors inside the castle. But the top floor is empty and filled with miscellaneous items.
The only places with living creatures are the lower three floors.
The cats and dogs in the castle were obviously domesticated, and they were clean and completely different from the wild cats and dogs outside. But Tiang Juan felt it... they were all ugly.
Sure enough, the big three-flowered cat just now was right.
Human aesthetics seems to favor ugly cats more...
Weary's appearance made the domestic cats very curious and gathered around him one after another.
Under normal circumstances, cats will be afraid and repelled by outsiders, especially domestic cats. But the aura released by Juanjuan made these kittens accept him without any grudge at all.
There were even cats that licked their fur due to tiredness.
Juanjuan enjoys lying among the cats and communicating with them. Although these cats are not very intelligent and cannot understand many things, Juanjuan has his own way to get what he wants from their memories.
.
After communicating for most of the day, Juanjuan looked at the two sun and moon wizards hiding in the moon-shaped realm: "I have asked them. From their perspective, the biggest change these days is that there are more people outside.
The wild cat only steals food, but there are a few more kittens in the house. They should be the milk cats bought by the housekeeper."
"Other than that, there are no other changes..."
"By the way, it seems like there are guests in the castle today, living on the third floor. This should be the biggest change for them."
After Juanjuan finished speaking, he waved his hand: "You start from the human aspect, and I will continue to have an in-depth chat with them."
Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun didn't say much, and turned around and went upstairs. With Weary's abilities, there would be no problem for it to stay here.
While going upstairs, Ms. Yue murmured in a low voice: "To be honest, I still don't understand why the teacher cares about the abnormality here."
Exceptions also come in different sizes.
Big anomalies can even make the whole world become strange.
As for those anomalies with a small scope of influence, if you don't take care of them, you won't be able to cause any trouble.
The anomaly here... Ms. Moon thinks it is just a tiny anomaly that does not even affect the lives of ordinary people. Is this anomaly really worth investigating?
Mr. Taiyang actually found it strange, but he thought for a while and said, "Teacher, as the most secret prophet in the temple, was once considered to be the seed of miracles."
"Everything he does, there must be a reason for it."
The Late Sleeping Prophet is the most mysterious and secretive prophet in the Temple of Prophets. It is said that he can easily pull the strings of fate.
It is indeed strange for such a powerful prophetic wizard to pay attention to the anomalies here.
But Mr. Taiyang believes that there must be a reason for everything you do.
"Since he judged that there is an anomaly here and asked us to investigate, there must be a reason. Maybe the anomaly here is related to the existence of miracles."
Ms. Moon: "A miracle...is it possible?"
Maybe it's really possible.
Because as a late-sleeping prophet, he pays little attention to ordinary things. He only cares about miraculous things.
Could it be that something left behind by a certain miraculous being caused the anomaly?
This situation is not impossible.
Ms. Moon had heard that there was once an ordinary person who was hit by a ticket stub that fell from the sky while admiring the stars at night. This ticket stub was the ticket for the Xinghai Train.
The Star Sea Train is a grand miracle in the starry sky.
In addition, similar situations include tickets to the Heart Theater, marks left by time thieves, etc...
Therefore, in the world of ordinary people, it is not impossible to encounter things left by miraculous beings.
Thinking of this, Ms. Moon also became interested.
If there really are things left behind by miracles, maybe this is their chance? Otherwise, why would Teacher Wan Sui send them here to investigate the anomaly?
