Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "Since you encountered that strange monster in the first space-specific area, we have never found traces of those cultists."

　　 Jenkins knew that the difference engine must have changed its method of action because it was rejected twice in a row. It is a bad thing for the cultists not to show up, because no one knows what this group of people did in the invisible time.

The "distance" between 　　 and the cultists did not last long, because the next day, that is, Saturday, Jenkins encountered them again.

　　 Saturday is still an ordinary day for the whole world and Jenkins. Disasters continue to occur, the world is getting worse and worse, and the weather is a bit bad.

　　 When I got up in the morning, I heard the patter of rain outside. When I finished breakfast, the sound of rain was so loud that it was like a stone hitting the ground. It is the first ten days of July. According to Nolan's season, it also belongs to the middle and late summer. Although it can still be regarded as midsummer, the rain will probably bring a little chill.

　　It's such a heavy rain that the ladies at home don't plan to go out, but Jenkins will go out. Today there is a mandatory meeting on the schedule given by Bishop Parrod.

　　 This morning was nothing unusual. Because of the rain, Jenkins always felt that even the room was very humid. Of course, this may also be because the meeting place is the church of the [Ocean and Discovery Church] near the pier.

　　 That rainy night last autumn, Jenkins encountered the big octopus consecutively after waking up from the church, and broke into the attic where the students of the art school lived. After shooting the opponent, he encountered a cultist and sacrificed his deity.

　　 Now thinking of this one year ago, Jenkins feels as if a long time has passed. He calculated it carefully, and it was a year before he came into this world in more than ten days. He planned to celebrate that day, not only to visit Mr. Barnard's cemetery, but also to celebrate for himself and celebrate this new life.

　　 In the morning, I had a meeting at Ocean Church. In the afternoon, I was called by Miss Bevanna to help in Evergreen Forest, responsible for the final containment confirmation of a very dangerous artifact A-03-2-3229 [Footprints of the Dead].

　　 During this period, there was no accidental loss of containment, but news spread from the city to the Evergreen Forest. It is said that someone from the [Sun and Justice Church] planted in the city was found.

　　 The clue was not discovered today. The knights of the Church of Justice have recently learned about a series of strange disappearances. Most of the missing persons are men who are 20-40 years old and have received good education. When they were finally witnessed, they all appeared in the same neighborhood.

　　 After investigating the block, the gifters of the Church of the Sun and Justice locked one of the humble apartment buildings. After that, it was discovered that the few people who often haunt the apartment building were a bit strange, and it was quickly determined that the missing persons had entered the apartment building, and that those suspicious people were most likely cultists of the Gear Craftsman Society.

　　 So Jenkins entered the city with the scribe squad, along with the scribes into the city, there were also the gift of the Mechanic Church. Considering that there is a holy son in this line, the Mechanical Church did not send a demigod, just let Jenkins take charge.

　　 As for the other teams dispatched to the city, they were led by the church demigods and entered the area where the suspects were located from different directions.

　　 The people of the Sun and Justice Church were worried about being stunned. They didn't make any movement before the increase in staff. They only found three men who were suspected of cultists. They entered the apartment facing the street, and there was no more movement.

　　 That's not a residential area, it's just an ordinary street. The door on the first floor of the apartment is squeezed between the two houses next door, and the apartment itself is three stories high and attic height, so it looks extremely slender and inconspicuous, submerged in the city's architectural complex.

　　 The rain is still falling, and Jenkins stands on the corner at the end of the street with his umbrella, watching there. The windows facing the street are all closed with curtains. Although the light is dim because of the rain, there are no lights in the room.

　　 His eyes saw a variety of strange and mixed auras all over the surface and interior of the apartment. The intensity of the auras did not reach the level of the numbered items, but it looked like it was launching a large-scale ceremony.

　　 There are three gifters in the building, which is consistent with intelligence. I'm just not sure whether there are ordinary people inside, and whether those ordinary people are related to this matter.

　　PS: Two changes in the evening, everything at the end of the month.

Chapter 1874 Chapter 1845

Soon, instructions came from the temporary command center that unified the entire operation to make Jenkins and his group of 14 people stand by at the corner temporarily to prevent suspicious personnel from entering this area, and also to prevent slipping through the net once the fight really started. The fish escaped.

　　 The team responsible for the positive contact is the Nature Church, the Earth Church, the Sun Church, and the Dark Night Church.

　　 These people were divided into two parts. A group of police officers disguised as conducting census, knocked on the front door and entered. One team tried to enter through the back door of the apartment, forming a two-sided attack.

　　 The action started soon, and after knocking on the door, the night watchman also got a response. Although the ordinary people who opened the door in the house were surprised that so many police officers were needed to conduct the census, they still let a group of people in.

　　 At the same time, Jenkins also observed that the benefactors of the back door also found the garbage-throwing iron door from the alley, opened the door lock and entered the apartment.

　　 He waited patiently, waiting for the first explosion or strange light to appear. But what is very strange is that after the two teams entered, there was no movement at all.

　　Because the aura in the house is too complicated and there are too many people entering, Jenkins is not sure whether his eyes can correctly catch the gifts of the church.

　　 He waited for a while, and confirmed that the apartment was really quiet and weird. Then he discussed with the leader of the Mechanical Church around him, and then asked the command center if he should continue to wait.

　　 They waited another twenty minutes to wait for a response before they received instructions for the next step:

　　 all meet, and then evacuated the entire block. Inside that house, there is now a mystery that has been unfolded.

　　 Jenkins has come into contact with a lot of mysteries. From the beginning, Alexia trapped members of the illegal organization of [Witch’s House] on the 31st of the cycle. He also learned a lot about this large-scale ceremony one after another.

　　 He understands very well that if it is impossible to detect the information of an unknown mizuo, it is almost impossible to open the mizuo from the outside, especially in urban areas where many methods are restricted.

　　 If you want to know the information of an unknown mystery, the best way is to enter the mystery, just like the mystery of the vampire in Beldyran a few months ago. But entering the Mizuo means being trapped in the Mizuo, and you can only find a way to escape from the inside.

　　 This forms an infinite loop. According to this logic, the only thing the church can do is to wait outside for the two teams to solve the problems on their own, but waiting to die is never the church’s way of doing things.

　　 "It's just a mystery, although it is troublesome, but now that Nolan has gathered so many elites, are we going to be stumped by such a problem?"

　　 The old tomb guard who was responsible for this matter shook his head and said, and the result of the negotiation on the Evergreen Forest side was that no time should be wasted and positive actions should be carried out.

　　 The second batch of teams entering the city from Evergreen Forest brought new instructions to the group. Since it is destructive and too eye-catching, because it is a city that cannot be used, then take advantage of the number of Orthodox Churches and send 5 demigods into the Mishou. There will always be someone who can destroy the Mishou from the inside.

　　 The simultaneous participation of 5 demigods is unimaginable in ordinary times, but now the biggest advantage of Nolan area is that it has enough manpower. Of course, rushing into the unknown and using life to test is certainly not a sensible act. Therefore, after a brief discussion, the traveler’s church came up with two B-11-5-2305 [Tickets for Homecoming], which are numbered items that are enough to allow people to get out of the treacherous realm directly. Of course, they are also useful for the lost.

　　Although five people are going to enter the maze, two of them are obviously enough. Jenkins is included in the five places, after all, he was originally nearby. Of course, the church requires him to disguise his face and not be found out by the enemy in the trap.

　　 This time he was allowed to participate in the action, probably because he claimed that he had been promoted to level 7 and that he had successfully become the real candidate. In this way, letting him undergo dangerous experience is the preparation for facing more terrible things in the future. If you blindly avoid before the final day, it will be detrimental to the future.

　　 Do not carry the cat in dangerous actions, even if the chocolate grabs the edge of his pocket with his front paws. It just so happened that Sigrid, who was urgently dispatched to help at a nearby flower shop, was also there, so Jenkins entrusted her with his cat and his umbrella, and after discussing with the other four demigods to break into the locks After the countermeasures, five people braved the rain to come to the door of the apartment and knocked on the door.

　　The ordinary person who opened the door was still the ordinary person who just opened the door, and he looked at the people outside the door impatiently:

　　 "What are you going to do?"

　　 In order to ensure safety, Jenkins kept the real eye open from the time he crossed the street and came under the apartment, so he clearly saw that as the man opened his mouth, an inexplicable aura directly enveloped the area outside the door.

　　 Jenkins understood a little bit in his heart. The sign of entering the lock was not to enter and cross the threshold at all, but to hear the voice of the man opening the door. In other words, the aura he had been seeing just now was probably a complex of the auras that had been confused within Mizuo, and it had no reference value at all.

　　 "Attention, we have already come in."

　　 It was useless to remind Jenkins, and the old grave guard said. This is the oldest demigod in this diocese, and the demigod who has been stationed in Nolan for the longest time, basically equivalent to the strongest person in Nolan in peaceful days.

　　 "I didn't perceive any spatial changes, this mystery is a bit weird."

　　 The demigod Difour of the Travelers Church added.

　　 "I can't feel the power nature of Misuo, but it is certain that Misuo's internal space is not large, it should only cover this building, and there is no abnormal space inside."

　　 said Mr. DuPont of Nature Church.

　　 "I smelled rancid oil."

　　Ms. De La Salle of the Mechanical Church said.

　　 Jenkins saw that everyone else was talking, and it seemed a bit bad if he didn't speak. But he did not have any novel findings, so he looked again at the "ordinary man" who was standing holding the door frame:

　　 "This is... a corpse."

　　 He said, carefully organizing his own language:

"Although we cannot judge the nature of the lock by observing an individual alone, but considering the environment here and the usual methods of our enemies. There are reasons to believe that the greatest danger we will face in the future will mostly come from corpses and Machinery, or mechanized corpses."

Chapter 1875 Chapter 1846 The Awakened "Wisdom"

　　 "Is this a mechanized corpse in front of you?"

　　 asked Mr. Difour.

　　 "It's hard to say, what we see now is only a projection-like entity, the real body should still be behind the door."

　　 said the old grave guard, and then pushed away the person blocking the door and entered the building behind him. Others followed suit. Jenkins came in third. After entering the hall, he moved his nose and smelled the rancid oil smell that Ms. De La Salle said. But then he found that the two gentlemen walking in front were missing, and looking back, the two companions behind him did not walk in through the door.

　　Only the man watching the door walked in, and then gently closed the door in front of Jenkins, blocking out the thick fog, heavy rain and weak sunlight.

　　 The hall was very dry, and the dripping water from Jenkins was damaging the soft embroidered carpet under his feet. But he is not a guest now, so don't care about these etiquette.

He turned around and took a step towards the one he had just closed, raising his hand to split the head of the man at the door like a watermelon, but as the grave guard said, it was just a projection of a corpse, so no corpse fell to the ground. , Only a scorching steam diffused into the air along with the odor.

Jenkins took out his walking stick and turned around. He stood in the foyer without turning on the gas lamp and looked at the narrow staircase leading to the second floor. Then he looked at the narrow living room on the right hand side, slowly rubbing the orb on the stick with his fingers, his face changed. Need to calm down.

　　 is different from the paradox. Although Misuo is also an environment similar to a different space, it still conforms to most of the rules of the real world, but some special rules have evolved based on the nature of Mishou.

Therefore, most of the general rules of the material world still work in the mystery, and just find those rules that are different from the material world, such as the math problems in the Alexia mystery, and the strange light that sweeps away the filth in the clean field. , The blood-mosquito-cursers in the blood-sucking manor, and cracking them, will probably be able to reach the core of Misuo step by step and defeat Misuo.

　　 So standing still is definitely not enough, and according to Jenkins observations, the strongest point of aura is probably in the attic. Although it is not clear where all the companions have gone, it is certainly correct to go upward.

　　 But first he decided to explore the living room on the first floor, at least to understand what the nature of this puzzle is.

　　 Looking at it roughly, the layout of the house is not surprising. The arrangement and furnishing of the furniture can be seen from an ordinary middle-class family. Considering its location close to the city center and housing prices, the economic situation of the family is not difficult to imagine.

　　 Jenkins walked to the cabinet in the living room, glanced at the disk placed on the wooden shelf in the glass cabinet, and then picked up the photo frame placed in the space under the cabinet.

The black-and-white photo in the frame of 　　 is a family of three. The middle-aged father and his daughter are standing together on the grass, with a picnic tablecloth and basket under their feet, and the middle-aged woman is sitting on the tablecloth. Judging from the degree of oxidation of the photos, the shooting time should be within one year.

　　 The point is the look of that father, which is the man who opened the door to everyone.

　　 "So, this is actually a trap, not a stronghold for cultists?"

　　 He thought to himself, and then saw that the man's face in the photo moved. More precisely, only his mouth and eyes were moving. Maybe people in this world are accustomed to black and white photos, but in Jenkins's eyes, black and white photos have unique meanings. Coupled with the appearance of his eyes turning around on a still face, he suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart, but he still heard the man in the photo clearly. the sound of:

　　 "I am an engineer from Nolan No. 3 Machinery Plant."

　　 At the moment of a deliberate pause, the eyes in the eye sockets glanced in one direction at the same time, and the corners of the mouth also glanced aside, making a very strange expression:

　　 "One day, on the desk, I found a strange metal toy that I had never seen before."

　　 Those eyes moved quickly in the eye sockets. Jenkins had never seen such flexible eyeballs in any living person:

　　 "I tried to disassemble it."

　　 In the gray background of the black and white photo, something hazy and unrecognizable appeared. Like some kind of giant, but also like huge tentacles flying in the sky:

　　 "Then I saw it."

　　 eyes stopped turning and looked straight at Jenkins holding the photo frame:

　　 "I saw the wisdom in the Chaos Star Sea, the mystery in the void outside the world, and the brilliance at the bottom of the Spirit Sea...I'm awakened."

　　 Jenkins regards this as a symbol of madness. Most lunatics think that they are awakened, and ordinary people who are ignorant are blindfolded. In fact, it is difficult to tell what is crazy, but when a person suddenly claims that he has wisdom that others do not have, then he is likely to be crazy.

　　 "I have witnessed wisdom and gained wisdom. Now, I want to give you this opportunity to unlock wisdom."

　　Dangling~

　　 A heavy object fell from the top of the towering cabinet to the floor at Jenkins' feet. It was an indescribable metal object. Not only are the large loops and small loops nested with each other, but also the tenon-and-mortise structure and the metal wire like a coil are connected to each other.

　　 This together constitutes an oval-shaped peculiar "toy", Jenkins can't say whether this is considered metal rubbish. But if it appeared in the trash can on the corner of the street, Jenkins would certainly not be surprised.

　　 "Unlock it and you can move on."

　　 said the voice of the man in the photo.

　　 Jenkins glanced at him and confirmed that he did not want to continue to tell the information, then put down the photo, and then picked up the group of metal products.

In this way, this mystery lock is more similar to the math mystery lock developed by Alexia, rather than the **** dinner fan lock of the blood-sucking species. The common point of the two is that they need to complete specific steps to move on, otherwise they can only be Permanently trapped in it.

Jenkins is not interested in this kind of "pass through", so he picked up the thing and looked around and made sure that it was not a toy that could be untied casually, then put it back on the ground and backed up two steps. , And then ran forward at a quick trot, jumped when he was about to step on it, squatted down when he fell, keeping the center of gravity down, and stepped on the metal creation with great momentum.

　　 Unsurprisingly, it was crushed. Picking up the "wire biscuit", pressing his hands on both sides, as the flames emerge from the palms of the palms, the billowing blue smoke mixed with the strange smell of burning metal spreads in the living room.

　　 Soon, it was completely burned by the fire of the gift, leaving only some black residue in Jenkins's palm.

　　 "Am I unlocked?"

Chapter 1876 Chapter 1847 The "Vision" of Percussion

　　 Jenkins clapped his hands when he said this, and brought the black dregs to the ground. He asked Xiang Xiang for the photo standing on the cupboard. In the photo, the man's head seemed to be spinning around an axis, shaking with a weird motion:

　　 "Of course not. Do you think this is a puzzle game? Since you can't solve it, it means you don't have the talent of an engineer at all. Then come and accompany me. I can teach you the knowledge you lack."

　　 A pair of pale hands stretched out from the photo and grabbed the clothes on Jenkins' chest.

　　 But then, no matter how hard his hands were, standing Jenkins remained motionless.

　　 "What is this? The purpose of this mystery is that gear craftsmen will recruit new people?"

　　 He guessed in a low voice, seeing the other party clinging to grasping himself instead of answering, he also stretched out his hand and grabbed the pale arm that stretched out from the photo:

　　 "May your soul rest in peace."

　　 He solemnly blessed.

　　The flame spread along the arm to the palm of the hand in an instant, and then spread to the entire photo. The ignited photo burned at an extraordinary speed, and the jumping flame made Jenkins's face flicker, but he just stood there and looked at it. After confirming that the photo was burnt to ashes, he turned around and prepared to go to the second floor:

　　 "It's really inexplicable."

　　 still muttering in his mouth.

　　 There was no trouble on the stairs. When I came to the second floor, what I saw was not a corridor similar to my own house, but a whole large room. Here, the left and right parts are separated by wooden boards. The inner part is the bedroom, and the outer part is the study. The books on the shelf in the study, judging from the name of the spine, are related to machinery, most of which Jenkins has never seen.

　　On the four walls, only the bedroom and the study have a window, but they also have heavy coarse cloth curtains. Only the sound of heavy rain outside can be heard, and very little light can penetrate.
