old dream

not a single one.

This was the conclusion he could think of, so it didn't feel very novel.

Instead of feeling sad, he now felt in a joking mood.

So he just made a "shh" gesture to the female officer to keep quiet, then he left Bernice and tiptoed towards the end of the dining table.

The puppet's footsteps made no sound, but the quadrant was trembling with its awareness.The originally insurmountable boundaries between different quadrants are also dissolving and disappearing as it creeps.When the remnants of the Grand Duke came to the end of the long dining table, the space in the main hall could no longer be regarded as human in anyone's eyes.But the strange thing is that no one, including the residue himself, seems to have not noticed these changes.

The Grand Duke reached out and patted an important minister on the shoulder. When the latter turned his head in confusion, Edmund shouted at him:
"Aha!"

I must have caught him.

Apart from this, the Grand Duke did not make another sound.But the originally noisy venue fell into deathly silence because of this mischievous shout.

Like the minister who was tapped on the shoulder, people stared blankly at the sudden appearance of Edmund like frightened animals, wondering why he came back from the dead.

It is obvious that these people already have great power. Even just a few hours ago, they solemnly announced the end of the Edmond family's rule over the principality.But at this moment, all those who divided the spoils still instinctively had only one thought left in their minds, and that was to run away immediately, even if they were pissed off and fled in a hurry.

There was a clang and the sound of a series of chairs overturning at the same time. They couldn't even wait to stand up decently, so they covered their faces in horror in an attempt not to reveal their faces, and rolled on the ground as if they wanted to leave the venue.

But for some reason, more and more people fell to the ground quickly after getting up in embarrassment.After they calmed down, they discovered that their hands and feet had sunk into the ground and walls. The nature of these cold marbles had changed at some point, and they were shrinking and squirming like some kind of meat.

It is not that there are no wizards here, but they who are usually top-notch people have become no different from ordinary people at this time.A few wizards above the female moon subconsciously turned to witchcraft, only to find that the mirror image no longer resonated as before, and even the most basic spiritual elements no longer existed.So at this time, they are just humans with more sensitive senses.

But now even the most stupid ordinary people can hardly fail to notice the most strange existence in the entire space.

The Archduke Edmund who suddenly appeared before them was incomplete.

People saw with their own eyes that the body was almost just a tentacle, a tentacle that was stuck in the crack of the door and barely poked its head out into the world.

It is the remnant of a great being left in this world.

The upper ends of the tentacles extend into the unknown, where they are connected to the terrifying body.The real Edmund is still isolated behind the crack of the door. Perhaps, there are all the answers there, but as mortals, we should never look at each other. Even if we accidentally glance at him with our peripheral vision, it is an irreversible violation.

There were a total of 370 six people present, and no one did not know this truth. It has been engraved into human instincts since ancient times.However, their eyes continued to rise, and they could not help but follow the insignificant tentacles into the depths of the world as if they were possessed.

"A seemingly ordinary person suddenly possessed unimaginable power and realm. Then he died without warning, leaving only bedbugs all over the city..."

Using his sword to cut through the maze-like bushes, Colin suddenly asked Rui:
"What does this remind you of?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid you night people know more about this kind of thing." Rui said.

After all, in the division of labor in the alliance, it is the night people who have been doing the most shameful and dirty work.Colin was silent for a while and continued to push aside the curved trees with his hands:
"I still remember that we had talked about some things about inner god practitioners before. The Intelligence Department has prohibited discussion, but you are privately interested."

"Do you think the Grand Duke's situation is related to the Transcendent?" Rui asked.

"I can't tell you clearly, but..." Colin said:

"Zal Winter is one of the few friends of the Archduke. Calculating time, he should have been an eyewitness to the events of that year. But after Edmund's death, this man began to embark on the road to awakening his inner god regardless of risk. There is something obvious here. Related…”

Colin recalled his meeting with Winter, those weird descriptions about the "umbilical cord", "cosmic womb" and "real childbirth", and said slightly lost in thought:
"Actually, after we talked about the Transcendent last time, I had some thoughts that I didn't tell you."

"What?" Rui asked curiously as he walked.

"You have been working in Building No. [-] since you came back from the Nale battlefield. I don't know how you got connected with the underground river, but you probably don't know much about the dirty work of the night people, including the jackdaw where Nancy once worked. Hunting group." Colin said:

"When I was in Stade last year, I accidentally came into contact with the inside story of these things... Do you know that about six percent of newborns will have coordinate offsets? I personally saw a child who had never been exposed to The eyes of young children who have learned the mysticism release a light film like oil. This kind of power obtained without any practice is called "awakening" by the transcendents. And most of the dirty work done by the night people is Eliminate these Awakened Ones. But don’t get me wrong, those night people have absolutely no ability to eliminate [-]% of newborns and cover up these facts. In other words, it is impossible to do this even if the entire alliance is staked. The night people are doing the best they can. It can only be regarded as the aftermath.”

“What is really repairing these deviations and errors and getting them back on track is a force that seems to exist in nature itself.”

Colin doesn’t know what it is. Is it natural selection?Or maybe the universe itself really does have some kind of consciousness.

"After a certain period of time, these natural transcendents will disappear." Colin continued:
"Some of them will leave something behind, and then people will mistakenly think that they have turned into something else. One mother thought she gave birth to a rabbit, a pair of twins turned into butterflies after death, and some turned into the breeze, and more Most of the time, nothing is left. Even in many cases, those who experienced it will think that all this is a natural and normal death, and even directly lose all relevant memories, and will not notice anything wrong in the end. place."

Rui had never heard of these things before and was so surprised that he was speechless.Anyone who knew that six percent of newborns every year were quietly wiped out by some force, and that humanity as a whole was unaware of this, would probably have a similar reaction to him.

After a while he asked:

"So you think... the Grand Duke is too?"

"It's very similar. It matches in many places...whether it's the lack of awareness of power, or the inexplicable death and remnants. But...there are also some places that don't match up." Colin said.

Such as the age of the Grand Duke.

What's more important is scale.

Compared with one or two butterflies or a wisp of breeze, the bed bugs in this city are too many and too difficult to deal with.

But if we assume that the disappearance of [-]% of newborns is a natural phenomenon that exists in this world, is it possible that the situation in the Grand Duke is caused by man-made things?

Precisely because it is man-made, the consequences of loss of control are extremely troublesome.

Prince Anhe wrote part of the truth in his blood and passed it down from generation to generation.

At this moment, Colin suddenly sensed something, so he turned his head and looked in the direction of the main hall of the palace behind him.

It was at this glance that he saw a sight he would never forget.
