Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

I have no regrets in my life!

Although it was still early, Fu Qian's posture as he stepped out of the school gate seemed as if the setting sun was stretching his shadow infinitely.

The gears of fate will eventually turn, on a day that seems so ordinary.

  But in just a moment, you will find that you can no longer go back to your former self, even your name - wait, what should be your name now?

The pace that almost came with its own background music came to an abrupt halt. Fu Qian frowned slightly and thought of an important question.

There was no indication on the piece of paper who it was for, and he didn't seem to have any business cards on him, and it wasn't even mentioned in the mission description.

To this day, the warehouse's diligence index has not improved much.

But it doesn’t matter. If you want to become a hunter of gods, you must cut off the past.

With a cold snort, Fu Qian looked down at his hand.

The brass key, symbolizing the call of destiny, is shining brightly under the sunlight.

After simply identifying the direction, he realized that he had no idea which direction the address was in.

"Hello."

But how could such a small setback block the journey to the sea of ​​stars?

Fu exited the mission mode a second ago and said hello to a kind old lady.

……

  Is the distance a little far?

If it were someone with a weak will, he would probably lose his passion halfway through the ride and give up on being a savior and go back to chasing the anime.

Sitting in the not very comfortable seat, Fu Qian stared out the window silently, planning the remaining journey.

The old lady was still very enthusiastic. After listening to the address and pondering for a long time without any results, she even ran further to find a young woman to ask.

What was a slightly unusual development was that the female classmate, who looked only a few years older than him, not only looked at him with a slightly strange expression, but she actually knew this place.

Is it related to some urban legend?

Looking at the densely packed buildings outside the window, Fu Qian seemed to understand the meaning of that gaze a little.

It was obvious that it was not a look of admiration for a hero, but rather pity for the chuunibyou.

In such a modern city, it is hard to imagine what decent place such a key can open.

It seems to be a bit like an urban legend...

After a while, the selected person, who had not encountered any obstacles along the way, got off the car and found the destination according to the address. He fell into deep thought at the buildings of different styles in front of him.

Narrow windows, high walls, strangely shaped reliefs, and even a color scheme that makes people feel depressed at first glance.

There is a high-rise building across the street. This unpopular building is obviously out of place with the surroundings - but it fits in well with the key in his hand.

It is also easy to tell that although it has a retro shape, it is not a real ancient building. It looks more like a theme park that has been built but not yet put into use.

Of course, none of this matters. Destiny summons come in many forms and are not restricted to any particular place.

The only problem is that this place looks quite large. Where can one find the lock that corresponds to this key in order to enter the "workshop"?

……

Abandoned buildings with gloomy styles are indeed places that are prone to giving birth to urban legends, so it is normal that they are known by many young people who love to explore the unknown.

In this case, a retro-style key and instructions for getting here make it seem like a prank.

But that is only for mortals. As someone who has long aspired to become the Lord of the Rings, it is just a superficial confusion.

The main door was closed. In the dark sky, Fu Qian took a quick look, then passed the warning sign and went up a narrow staircase on the outside of the building.

Soon, he successfully found a half-open window on the side. From the traces, it can be seen that this is a common passage in and out of the building.

Fu Qian, who had not conquered with blood before, also followed this custom at this moment and leaned sideways into the darkness.

Behind the window is a small hall with three doors.

Like most abandoned buildings, the interior is relatively empty, with only some things that are inconvenient to move left to mold and rot, such as a door that obviously fits the key in hand.

However, as mentioned earlier, this building has a complex structure and many floors.

Even for Fu Qian, it was easy to confirm that there was no one else around except himself.

In the absence of markings, finding the way into the workshop seems to be a tedious process of trial and error.

But only as if.

As the chosen ones, how could I be the same as those young explorers who were just looking for curiosity?

Fu took two steps forward and brushed his fingers across the patterned wall.

……

High-end design is often reflected in the details, such as this not-so-delicate pattern.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are no completely repeated parts on each wall or even between each other.

Even every door, without exception, has dark patterns that correspond to it.

Of course, these all fall into the category of design, which is normal, but I’d like to give a thumbs up to the designer.

Now the point is... Fu Qian blinked, and his fingers outlined a pattern along the slightly dazzling pattern.

And then there is another…

In a moment, the originally chaotic pattern was broken down into combinations of different styles.

The most important thing is that they look a bit familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere before.

This place is not simple. The world is calling.

He was even more certain that this was no prank and that the legendary power of the hunting god was really waiting. Fu Qian snorted coldly and took out the key, matching the pattern he had just separated with the pattern at its end one by one - there was no connection.

The result was obtained soon after payment.

Saving the world is not that easy after all. No wonder it takes a test.

Without getting entangled or discouraged, Fu Qian, who was always confident in his own judgment, simply put away the key, tried to open a door, and walked outside.

Sure enough, the slightly narrow passage behind the door also had that kind of messy pattern, and at first glance, it was different from the one in the room just now.

Of course, normally speaking, considering that there is not even a window, an ordinary high school student should not be able to see anything at a glance.

  click!

The light in Fu Qian's hand lit up, and the power of technology instantly dispelled the shadow.

After confirming with the old ladies how long the journey was, he had already made preparations along the way that were consistent with his character in the face of possible night operations.

It turns out that opportunities do come to those who are prepared.

Walking along the corridor, Fu Qian finally found a pattern that was not in the room just now and was more familiar to him.

This is a pattern I saw when I was exploring underground ruins with a group of Saints. (End of this chapter)
