In the dark, sturdy and solid room, Derick Berger, who pretended to be unconscious, suddenly turned over and stood up.
His Hurricane Axe had been taken away and sent for inspection. His pockets of his clothes were also emptied without leaving any items.
Derrick took a breath and looked around calmly.
There were two small sun-like lights in his eyes, which made everything in the room reflect into his eyes one by one.
The furnishings here are only one table and two chairs, and in addition to this, they are stone floors with strange patterns.
There is half a piece of used candle on the table, which is standard for each room in Silver City, because once it gets dark for a long time, monsters may really suddenly appear.
Derrick didn't hesitate anymore, sat down, reached out and picked up the half of the candle.
Immediately afterwards, he broke and pulled the candle and divided it into three sections, one section occupying three quarters of the original and two sections share the remaining quarters.
After Derrick's adjustment, the candle stamens of these three pieces of candles were all highlighted.
Bang!
He rubbed his fingers and created a golden flame, lit the three candles.
The two at the top represent Mr. Fool, and the remaining one symbolizes Derrick himself.
After preparing, Derrick no longer burned herbal powder according to the normal process, dripped the essential oil of the medicine, leaned back directly, recited the name of the fool very quietly, and quickly entered a state of meditation.
He recited it over and over again, monotonously and repeatedly, as if he was constantly hypnotizing himself.
With the help of meditation, Derrick entered a strange state of sleeping in his mind and spiritual dispersion. He was both confused and maintained a strange awakening, and his spirit continued to float upward and get higher and higher.
This is artificial sleepwalking.
And Derick, who has permission from Mr. Fool, can simplify some non-essential steps.
……
Above the gray fog, inside the towering and ancient palace.
Klein, the fool who was playing with the eyes of the whole black, suddenly saw the crimson stars symbolizing the small sun expanding out light, condensing into a human-shaped phantom, and the power of the mysterious space was pierced a little.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because it meant that Xiao Sun had completed the relatively more dangerous preliminary affairs, leaving only the final work.
Klein did not delay, immediately put down the Eye of All Black and picked up the Black Emperor card.
His level and his position instantly became higher, allowing the leveraged power to surrender one by one.
Then, he grabbed a piece of paper man, shook his wrist, threw it out, and threw it at the crimson stars corresponding to the sun.
The paper man and the power flowing like water quickly expanded into a huge angel with twelve pairs of twenty-four black wings.
The angel penetrates the crimson light and overlaps with the phantom of the little sun.
It started to burn silently and turned into ashes in less than a second.
At this point, Klein can no longer affect the situation in Silver City. As for whether his angel stand-in can help Xiao Sun through the subsequent inquiries and investigations, he is not sure, so he can only sigh in his heart:
After doing what you should do and working hard to do what you should work hard, you can only wait for the arrangement of fate. Hope it will be a good result...
……
In a daze, Derick saw an angel descending in front of him with a momentum covering the sky, and wrapped himself layer by layer with the twelve pairs of pitch-black wings.
He suddenly woke up, three candlelight burning quietly in his eyes.
Thank you sincerely, Mr. Fool, Derrick ended the ceremony and extinguished the two candles that accounted for only one quarter of the original one.
Then he pulled them up and created a golden and clear flame in his palm.
Tick, tick, the two candles melted rapidly, and tears kept falling, either on the remaining body, or around it.
As the candle was completely burned out, only a candle was left on the table. It was a little shorter than originally, but not very obvious, and it seemed that it had just burned for a long time.
After disposing of the remaining traces, Derik extinguished the last dim candlelight.
He sat upright in silence, staring blankly in front of him, without any movement for a long time.
He was worried that the six-member squad would not respond quickly enough to let the Exploration Team members hold mushrooms and doumgo to pollute more residents of Silver City;
He was afraid that the chief and others would find another clue elsewhere to let his preparations fail;
He hated those outsiders who were hiding in the depths of darkness and always carried strong malicious intentions, including Amon, and the fallen creator;
He felt guilty that he had avoided the exploration, but did not remind Dak and the others, turning them into polluted monsters;
He was in pain that he had personally removed a classmate who could be called a friend.
Although Derrick did not see Dark's final outcome, he believed that the other party who became that way was equivalent to death.
In the complex and chaotic mood, Derrick didn't know how long he had been waiting and re-lit the candle halfway.
Finally, he heard the sound of the seal being lifted and the door being opened.
Turning his head and looking at him, he saw a woman with her hair tied into a long braid and drooping to her vest walking in.
Ms. Evelo.Derrick shouted subconsciously.
Evelo had a pretty face, but there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She smiled and nodded, responded to Derrick, and then sat across the street with brisk steps.
Do you have anything to say?she asked softly.
Derrick instinctively looked up and looked over. Suddenly, he found that the other party's eyes had turned into light golden vertical pupils.
My thoughts were in a trance and Derrick seemed to have entered a state of sleepwalking.
Evelo adjusted the candlelight, allowing the dim color to completely reflect on the boy opposite.
Her light golden vertical pupils became more and more indifferent, like an emotional audience.
Suddenly, there were circles of faint light in the light golden vertical pupils, which seemed to form a vortex and build a maze.
In a daze, Derrick felt himself floating, in the endless darkness and countless bright colors.
At this moment, he suddenly woke up and felt that his sleepwalking state was cleverly picked up by something.
He saw the inexplicably swaying dim candlelight, and saw Evro sitting opposite, with his eyes light golden and erect.
In the shadow of the corner, the gray-haired Chief Elder Colin Iliad walked out.
After nodding to the Chief, Evelo asked Derrick softly:
What have you done during this period?
Derrick kept his teachings in mind and maintained his state as before:
I don't know, I've been confused all the time, like dreaming, only awake occasionally...
While he answered, two complex dark green symbols were highlighted in the eyes of the Demon Hunter Colin.
Evelo continued to ask:
Do you know you had a conflict with Dark Reggins?
I only remember that I was fighting with him... I seemed to see a man hanging upside down on a cross, a man wearing a steep hat and crystal glasses. Yes, I have seen him in the dungeon... He spoke, smiled and spoke... Derik told a story that had been made up for a long time.
Ephro glanced at the chief and asked:
What did he say?
I can't remember clearly, I can only recall a little... He smiled and said, "The Fallen Creator, the Real Creator... The Shepherd... Derrick almost couldn't control his inner excitement."
He took such a great risk to tell the Chief about the name of the Fallen Creator and the Shepherd!
The Fallen Creator...the Real Creator...is very consistent with the content of the murals at the bottom of the temple.Colin nodded gently, frowned and whispered, Shepherd...
What after?Ephro's voice was extremely gentle.
Derrick replied in a daze:
After that, they collided together, and there were so many lights, so bright lights. I woke up and kept coughing...
The dark green symbol in Colin's eyes did not fade, signaling Evelo to ask for some details.
Derrick gave a selective answer, and the ones that he had considered long ago were pushed to Amon according to the script, saying that he could not remember it.
Finally, Evelo asked:
Where did your axe come from?Where did your ‘Sun’ pathway potion recipe come from?
The axe was bought from the underground trading market. The man covered his face and could only tell that his gender was a man... The potion formula for the ‘Sun’ path was left to me by my parents, and found during an exploration... Derrick said without any guilt.
These are always doubts. When the Hangman guesses the question, he thinks that they will inevitably appear, so he asked Derrick to rehearse how to answer it repeatedly.
Although the underground trading market in Silver City is semi-public, there are also attempts to conceal their identity for various reasons, which provides Derrick with the best explanation.
After listening carefully, Evelo turned his head to the Demon Hunter Colin:
He didn't lie, he couldn't lie, I had the power to rely on the "Crown of Glory".
Colin nodded and said:
In this state, he did not show any traces of evil, depravity, or pollution.
Discovering these things are the special abilities of the Demon Hunter.
As a high-sequence profession, the strongest thing about Demon Hunter is that he can cover up his own actions and intentions, making dangerous goals unaware.
Therefore, every demon hunter is the nemesis of the demon.
After thinking for a while, Colin stood up and left the room, and said to the shadow in the corner outside:
I will let Derrick leave later, and I think he has no problem for the time being.
But if Amon can create two clones in secret, he may create a third one.
Yes, Chief.The shadow responded respectfully.
When Derrick woke up, there was no one in the interrogation room, leaving only words that he could leave freely.
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief and walked outside, thinking in his heart the advice of the Hanging Man:
You can't relax and be careless. The secret observation will definitely last for a while, otherwise your "chief" will be unqualified!
Well, I can't recite Mr. Fool's name recently...Derick was silently talking to himself, walking down the hovering stairs.
As he walked, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, the shepherd elder Luo Weiya, dressed in a purple-patterned black robe and with a gorgeous and generous appearance.
Lovia's pale gray eyes swept over Derrick, and a soft smile appeared on her face.
……
Back in her room, Lovia walked to the desk with a faint expression and spread out a piece of paper made of leather.
She pinched her right index finger with her left palm and pulled her finger off with a snap, but the blood did not drip at all, as if it was sucked on the surface.
Holding this finger, Lovia drew a complex symbol on the paper, which was composed of half a symbol of the secret Eye without Eye and half a twisted line that symbolized change.
After careful examination, Lovia wrapped the broken fingers with this piece of paper, stuffed them into her mouth, biting it and then swallowed it all.
Her right palm pedestal, which had only four fingers left, had flesh and blood squirming in the wound, and quickly grew into a new index finger, a slightly pale index finger.
Lovia lowered her head, looked at her palm, and whispered a word:
Fool?
His Hurricane Axe had been taken away and sent for inspection. His pockets of his clothes were also emptied without leaving any items.
Derrick took a breath and looked around calmly.
There were two small sun-like lights in his eyes, which made everything in the room reflect into his eyes one by one.
