Chapter 547 The Center of the World?
The dark underground labyrinth is surrounded by emptiness.

Only somewhere in the far distance, there is a strange sound of dripping water and waves, which is transmitted far and far away in the empty and silent underground space, and the sound itself becomes ethereal and weird because of this.

It's eerily eerie and nerve-stimulating, and when people hear it in the dark and empty, they feel a kind of scalp-numbing and creepy feeling.

And in the center of the maze, in front of a majestic and huge mural, there is a strange white ball of light floating in mid-air, emitting soft and pure light in all directions.

There are three uneven figures below, and the shadows of the three are dragged long under the light of the lighting——

Among them, the black-haired girl in kimono narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint thought appeared between her brows.

The debtor steward next to him also had a serious expression, as if he was facing an enemy, watching a certain teenager in front of him vigilantly, even though he was his companion a minute ago.

"..."

"..."

A short time has passed since Mu Xiu closed his eyes and lost his breath for a moment.

Both of them had no time to stop his behavior, they could only watch helplessly as he finished his last sentence, and then it seemed as if...

died?
Although it is indeed very unkind to think so, but to be honest, no matter whether it is the debtor butler or Saronomiya Yisumi, they can only think of this.

Because the boy on the opposite side was still standing straight, his eyes were closed at all, and there was no breath or vitality in his whole body.

There is no heartbeat, no breathing, no pulse, no breath fluctuations.

Maybe it's really out of breath, maybe it's just too restrained.Anyway, no matter who it is, at first glance, they will only think that this is a lifelike wax figure of equal proportions, right?
This situation is already weird enough, plus the profound words that Mu Xiu said before he closed his eyes...

"I have an idea, but it may be a little dangerous. If you realize that my situation is wrong, you should leave here immediately."

So it's no wonder that Saronomiya Yicheng has become so serious, and the debtor steward has become such an enemy.

Because although they don't know what the other party wants to do, they are very aware of the terrible consequences if the other party becomes an enemy. To be honest, they have no grasp or confidence at all.

In the dark and empty space, despite the lighting, the unchanging environment well confuses people's specific and clear perception of time, even if it is 1 minute, it will feel very long.

Ayazaki Sa and Saronomiya Isumi could only clearly feel each other's breathing and heartbeat, but other than that, there was no movement tens of meters away.

However, they didn't dare to communicate with each other, for fear of missing any trouble.

Just like that, time passed by every minute and every second.

Neither of them knew exactly how long it had passed, maybe it was just a few minutes, or maybe it was a few hours.

until--

"It's too late to explain, hurry up..."

Mu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes without any warning, and pronounced the words clearly at an unusually fast speed, but it was a pity that he stopped abruptly before he could speak a complete sentence.

Without waiting for the two of them to react at all, a gorgeous golden cloud suddenly spread out from his body, and then spread extremely quickly.

When it touches the huge mural next to it, it bursts out with dazzling light. Mars are flying all over the sky, and the golden flames are tilted like molten steel. In less than a second, the reality of the world has been wandering around. The golden light subverted in an instant.

In the next moment, there seemed to be an irresistible invisible force suddenly appearing.

"...!!"

The Debt Steward and Saronomiya Yicheng suddenly had an illusion, as if their consciousness had separated from their bodies in an instant, and they flew towards the huge mural next to them under the pull of some force.

It seems like a moment has passed, and it seems like thousands of years have passed.

And then, a shuddering feeling in the depths of the soul—for at last they had reached their destination after this paradoxically short and absolutely long journey.

……

……

I don't know when exactly.

I don't know where exactly.

The only thing that is clear is that this is the center of the world, the city where the gods live on the cliff, surrounded by a huge garden surrounded by Greek stone pillars.

Its interior is a palace-like luxurious building. After entering the door, you can see the black and white checkered floor, and a circular magic circle similar to the zodiac is embedded in it.

"This should be the castle of the royal family, right? But Ayazaki-san and the others didn't come here?!"

With a long sigh, Mu Xiu pushed open the gate of the castle, and walked in with the heavy sound of pushing the door, and the sound of clear footsteps also sounded in the castle, breaking the silence since ancient times.

The time went back to about 10 minutes ago.

When he just woke up, or when his mind just returned to normal and was able to continue to function, it was no surprise that he found himself in a vast sea of ​​flowers.

Blossoms are swaying in the warm breeze, looking from a distance, you can hardly see the edge, making people wonder whether this sea of ​​flowers is as vast as the ocean.When the wind blows, the waves of flowers rise and fall, and the setting sun like blood is reflected in the boundless sea of ​​flowers.

The blue sky is deep and vast, and the dark red sunset scene can be seen behind the hazy background on the horizon—to be exact, the huge sun hangs in the sky, which seems to be very close to this land.

However, this huge celestial body did not emit any dazzling brilliance or heat waves, it was just glowing red with a little residual heat.

——It is indeed like a sunset and dusk, contradictory and weird.

But it seems that this is the only way to make sense. If such a huge celestial body is so close to the ground, the huge gravitational force is enough to destroy everything... At least this strange garden around will not be so moist.

It is full of splendor and beauty, but to be honest, Mu Xiu doesn't know any kind of plants in this garden at all.

What's more, what he really pays attention to is not such small things, but the weird changes in the dimension of time and space and the laws of the world at a deeper level.

I don't know how to describe it to be more accurate. The laws of time and space in this unknown world seem to be completely different from any other world.

It is almost like an outer world that is between existence and non-existence, isolated from the cause and effect of all time and space.

——This is the world line beyond all possibilities, the residence of the supreme god?

Here, he can feel that the visions of parallel alien projections that have troubled him for a long time will not appear, nor will they appear, as if the causal connection from any other world is cut off here.

However, space-type abilities will not be subject to any restrictions. Whether it is teleportation or crossing planes, they can be done at will as before. This is a rather contradictory place.

Mu Xiu couldn't figure out what was going on, and after hesitating for a while, he turned his gaze to the magnificent castle on the cliff in the distance.

He didn't know whether Ayazaki Sa and Saronomiya Isumi also came here, but it seemed that only that place could completely isolate him from his sensory detection.

In addition to sight, neither breath perception nor mental power scanning can capture the existence of that castle. If it is not possible to confirm it through vision, Mu Xiu might just ignore it.

If those two people are also in this space, then that castle should be the most likely.

With this in mind, Mu Xiu started to move towards the cliff, searching for the other two along the way.

Until now, 10 minutes later, he appeared in front of the gate of the castle, and opened the door to enter.

Da da da……

The crisp footsteps sounded in the silent castle, but it felt more lonely.

Mu Xiu frowned, but he still didn't take his steps lightly. He didn't sense any danger, and he didn't plan to take any sneaking measures either.It would be best if the other two could hear him and find him all the way——

If those two people are indeed in this castle.

The black and white checkered floor is spotless, and people can even be reflected in it. If someone cleans it every day, then this is definitely a huge project.

There are various styles of paintings hanging on the walls, some are landscape paintings, some are pictures of figures, and there is no regularity in the arrangement of them.And even the top of the corridor is hung with gorgeous chandeliers, the light is particularly abundant, and it looks resplendent.

"This...well, it's not."

Opening a door made of mahogany, what appeared in front of Mu Xiu was a room similar to a large library——

The tall mahogany bookshelves are neatly lined up like guards, and you can't see the end of the room at a glance. The same is true for the bookshelves and the books on the shelves.

There is an ancient atmosphere in the air. If you use a little literary term to describe it, it is the taste of knowledge. After all, the collection of books here is truly vast.

And like any other room, until the door is opened, the interior space is also isolated from any form of sensory detection.

So until now, Mu Xiu has no way to get a glimpse of the whole interior of the castle, and he has no way to determine whether the debtor steward and Saronomiya Yicheng are also in the castle.

Because even if his sensory ability is fully activated, it seems to be limited within a hundred meters nearby. Compared with the previous normal situation, he is almost like a blind man.

The boy has already begun to wonder if this is really the so-called royal family city. Although many features are exactly the same, it might not be the same place.

"Fortunately, the big light sphere can still function normally..."

Opened the operation interface of "Lord God", looked at the [-] reward points and a B-level branch storyline obtained for completing the mission, and tried it out to confirm that he could use the various functions of the big light ball at any time.

Finally, Mu Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and turned off the operation interface.

Then he hesitated for a moment, and instead of directly closing the mahogany door that had just been opened as before, he chose to walk directly into the library-like room.

It is quite normal to have a magnificent castle with wide corridors and thousands of rooms.

However, if the formal means of direct investigation by extraordinary power are eliminated, anyone in it can only search through corridors and rooms like ordinary people.
And if it is just to find two companions who may be separated, even if it is not a needle in a haystack, it may not be much easier, because the companions are likely to be constantly walking around.

If this is the library in the castle, maybe Mu Xiu can find the specific architectural blueprint of the castle.

Because if this is really the Royal Court City, then the debtor steward should be very familiar with this place, maybe he will choose to go to some meaningful scenes...

Of course, the most important thing is that if this is the royal court city, then there should be a place called "Mirror of Celestial Sphere".

It's a pool, and you can see what you want to see from the water. The disadvantage is that you can only check the situation around your acquaintances, and you can't hear the sound.

But that's enough.

As long as he understands the spatial structure inside the castle and can see where the other two people are, Mu Xiu will be able to find them.
