"Double gate color?" The other woman's voice that asked was that of Norma Gunn.

On the other side, Fan Ning held his mobile phone and listened attentively.

On the eve of the "Meat Sacrifice" incident, these two people had been taking the lead in the operation in the Southern Continent. Now that the Crimson Church collapsed, the "Cracking Field" was guarded by the Special Inspection Department. It was not surprising to encounter these two people again inside.

These two people are both veterans of the Special Inspection Department. At that time, Fan Ning had just been promoted to the Deep Dawner, and he could fight with them head-on with his own secret key. Now that he himself has reached the second level of Xu Xiao, even if it is one-on-one, , are confident enough to kill or maim one of them.

A "qualified person" to take the guard's place? The Divine Advent Society is also searching?

Doesn't it mean Joan? But what does “replacing guards” mean? If it happens, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Which party is promoting it? Which side is doing the damage?

In the spirit body search information, is the "residues of the meat sacrifice sacrifice" mentioned by Sylvia also related to this?

The key words in the conversation between the two made Fan Ning have many questions in his heart.

He originally planned to try to hide through the wall to see what else the two people would say. After he had a better understanding of the characteristics of this shifting secret realm, he could look for opportunities to take action.

But then, a young man’s voice emerged that seemed to be the narrator of He Meng and Gang——

"Well, the texture of the wall here shows the shapes of things like owls, poisonous snakes and deer antlers. Part of the color is like the purple-gold dusk sky, and the other part reminds the dreamer of the red glow and the fragrance of hawthorn flowers. He Meng's The judgment is good, this is the 'color of double gate' involving the two aspects of 'Key' and 'Chi', that is, the traces of true knowledge left by 'Tongmu''s actions and words in the secret history."

This made Fan Ning hesitate to act rashly for a while.

"Mr. Wax", the chief secret historian of the Special Inspection Department, is also here!

The next moment, Fan Ning saw ripples appearing on the dark red liquid surface in a twisted corridor far ahead.

These people actually came towards their position.

Fan Ning immediately turned on the recording of "Summer Noon Dream" and invoked the invisible power of the remains of the "Red Pond" in the historical projection of the South.

And very skillfully lower the volume all the way to "mute" at the same time.

"Huh? Sure enough."

The moment he opened it, he felt his spiritual tentacles extending to each "pool room".

Because this "cracking field" is everywhere soaked with the pollution that has been continuously released from the "Red Pond" for forty years, and now, the body of the "Red Pond" wreckage is in his hands.

It is inevitable to establish an inductive connection.

Fan Ning felt that he had some insight into their intricate "external structure", but he also vaguely felt that there might be an even larger "internal structure" beneath them that was completely beyond the ability to understand logically. , there are some unknown and terrifying things sealed in it.

"At least, my affinity for the 'external structure' is enough for me to deal with the situation in front of me first."

Fan Ning confirmed that the surging dark red liquid would not cause pollution to him.

You must know that although these "pool cores" are quenched and then thrown in, they once originated from the evil god, and the pollution to others cannot be underestimated, just like those highly toxic wastewater treated by sewage treatment plants. It's not something ordinary people would dare to use for bathing and drinking.

But now Fan Ning not only doesn't have to avoid them, he even feels that he can control a small part of them by spending a certain amount of inspiration.

This made him much more confident about the next rescue operation, even if the Special Patrol Office was present, and even if the other party had an order enforcer.

The dark red water next to him was violently stirred by him.

"Wow--"

A large stream of dark red liquid surged up, covering Fan Ning's body.

When he fell, his entire spirit body turned into blood-colored mist, gradually melting into the dim background.

The wreckage of the "Fountain in the Painting" was already good at camouflage, and the body of the wreckage of the "Red Pond" was in his hands. This time, Fan Ning was really "confused" with those pool cores.

The next moment, these three people entered the pool of water where they were.

I saw He Meng and Gang wading in while looking around. Mr. Wax in the middle was still sitting in a wheelchair, holding a burning white candle, and his entire waist and abdomen were immersed in the liquid.

This caused a layer of waxy gray light to flow all over their bodies, and their spirits were like "lotus leaves". The water splashed onto their bodies, without any moisture, and immediately rolled down smoothly like beads.

"Why not fly?" Fan Ning wondered.

Obviously, all the Insighters can fly directly in the sky during the migration. They do not require additional special abilities like in the waking world.

But Fan Ning, who was hidden in the blood-colored mist, felt that the state of these people seemed to be somewhat "restricted". He neither dared to fly nor get contaminated by these liquids. He could only "isolate the water" with the help of Mr. Wax. "Survey on foot.

As soon as Mr. Wax came to the new "pool water" field of view, he glanced in the direction where Fan Ning had disappeared. The liquid there was still spreading out with deep ripples.

This made Fan Ning feel nervous.

But soon, Mr. Wax looked at other places.

The pool water in this "cracking field" is not still. In some places, there are "valve ports" on the walls or ceilings that continuously discharge water. In some areas, the liquid itself is surging inexplicably.

"But I still have a little doubt." He Meng said again, "The traces of true knowledge here are the so-called 'color of double gates', that is, the phase of 'key-pool'? But why on that day the 'meat sacrifice' At the banquet, the divine shock left by the twin girls fighting each other, after analysis, it was clearly derived from the 'Pleroma Fruit' of the 'Desolate-Cocoon' phase?"

"So, what do you think common sense should be?" Mr. Wax glanced at him.

"It is more common sense to unify as the former." He Meng said, "Although during the time they were fighting, we were fully activating the containment altar without paying attention, but based on the analysis of the remaining secret atmosphere afterwards, The chariot driven by one person is the 'Key', while the other person worships the 'Red Pond'. Needless to say, this conclusion is also consistent with the occult characteristics of this place. In any case, a 'qualified person' must understand wounds and understand pain. ”

Yes, after "Miss Purple Bean Cake" and "Miss Scarlet Red" reversed their phases, why did they happen to be the two phases controlled by "Tong Mu"?

Fan Ning, who was lurking aside and listening to the exchange between these people, suddenly discovered an angle that he had never noticed before.

"The previous name of 'Tongmu' was not like this, nor was the phase of control." While explaining, Mr. Wax put an ordinary-looking "origami boat" into the water.

Fan Ning stared closely at the movements of this mysterious strong man.

But after the "origami boat" was put down, it just floated and swayed with the liquid, which was normal, which made him not understand what the other party was doing.

"That's not the case? Then what was he called before?" Gang asked.

"The older the secret history is, the fewer people know it, and the higher the status, and I am not within the scope of knowledge." Mr. Wax shook his head.

He Meng couldn't help but sigh: "You are the chief secret historian. Even a leader who is good at conquests still needs to consult your opinion in the field of secret history research. If it is knowledge that you have not mastered, those 'ignorant people' and It is even more impossible for those who pretend to be gods to understand, and I am afraid that no one in this world can reveal the secret.”

Mr. Wax shook his head and smiled. The next paragraph was unremarkable, but it gave people a sense of nihility and horror when they understood it carefully:

"What you know is only what they, who are in the position of residence, decide."

"Actually, those witnesses who you think are the so-called 'falls' are not really 'falls', such as the Qiyuan God, and the 'Fanghui Poet' in the Southern Continent. They were just expelled from their homes. They are just the position of the house. Those who study history still know them, and their reverberations are still there in the movement."

"The true 'fall' is unknowable, it is complete nothingness, it is the secret history of non-existence, it is the eighth and ninth place among the seven world source gods you know, it is the world except spring, summer, autumn and winter. Season 5 and Season 6 are the 25th and 26th hour outside of the time you live.”

Mr. Wax made several metaphors at the end of the paragraph. When several people listened, their understanding of the secret history deepened, but at the same time they felt a strange shudder.

Even the Lord of Witness may end up in such a situation during a battle, but what about mortal creatures?

Maybe it was just an inconspicuous implication.

Fan Ning couldn't help but repeatedly imagine this feeling, if he was completely erased, along with his existence, personality, works, achievements, historical traces, and the recognition of others

"So, the current name of 'Mother Tong' is knowable, but the name of the past god is difficult to know." He Meng was trying to understand, "What kind of events happened in this? The current view of official organizations generally believes that 'Tong Mu' The mother is the god of origin, but the Holy Wound Society once believed that it was the god of origin. What is his origin? "

Under Fan Ning's eyes, Mr. Wax took out that origami boat again and placed it on the floating and surging water.

This time it was a big handful, ten in total.

A group of rooms with mixed opening and closing, dim light, red pool water, and gray paper boats make the atmosphere here even more weird.

"The origin of 'Tongmu' is related to the secret of the demise of the Noah Dynasty." Mr. Wax said.

"That event became known as: The First Worm War."

"And the 'disintegration field' you are currently in is the site of the first worm war."

Fan Ning was shocked.

Everyone who studies history knows that the distribution of the two dynasties in the third history is extremely uneven. Compared with the Tulungalia dynasty, which has relatively rich textual research data and lasted for more than 1,700 years, the earlier Noah dynasty was only It was destroyed more than a hundred years ago and has always been shrouded in mystery.

Did the threat from "worms" start at that time?

"At first, people noticed the proliferation of abnormal areas, but few people paid much attention."

Mr. Wax watched as the paper boats floated out of the room, down the corridor, and out of sight.

"At that time, the view was that although the abnormal zone was dangerous and spreading, it was not as fast as a snail. Everyone had legs. The area to evacuate was a great threat, but it was single and slow. We would think of a solution later."

"But later, they found out they were wrong."

"You can hide in the abnormal area, but the 'worm' is different."

"This power grows from the abnormal zone, and will take the initiative to penetrate into the world and dreams. Moreover, it has nothing to do with real factors such as 'speed, time, distance'."

"They are of the same level as the Lord of Witness, and they are malicious to all forms and concepts. If they are allowed to mix dreams into a paste, one day, the flow will also become an abnormal area."

He Meng and Gang, the peers of the Lord of Personality and Witness, became increasingly wary of such things that were made out of nothing.

Now there is a view that something died in the innermost part of the abnormal zone, so these "worms" rotted and grew. If these saprophytes are the person of the Lord of Witness, then what exactly is at the "X coordinate" Something scary?

"In short, there was an outbreak of 'worm tide' in the entire Noah Dynasty at that time. According to reasonable inference, this 'First Worm War' not only caused turmoil in the dynasty, but even attracted the personal attention of many witnesses."

“The ‘worm’ grows fat where things end, and the ‘qualified person’ chosen to end this war is a priestess of the Noahic dynasty.”

"Under the instruction and guidance of the Lords of Witnesses, the priestess passed through the 'Gate of the Dome' and was promoted to the Lord of Witnesses, becoming the first mortal creature in history to achieve the 'Fourth Type of Origin'. His original divine name It is no longer known. The aspects they control are 'Desolation' and 'Cocoon', and their real names are 'Color of the Double Gate'. They are the two unknown gods who were expelled from the HOS earlier by the Lords of Witness—— 'Contemplation of death' and 'flow' are separated from each other."

"And this named place, the 'Cracking Field', is where the Priestess personally guards the gate of the 'Worm'. It was designed by them based on a profound mystical principle. The original name is unknown, but the terminology of this principle is unknown. In itself, I can provide a translation——"

Mr. Wax in the wheelchair lazily moved his fingers through the flames of the candle he held, as if there was no high temperature:

"Liminal Space."

The two of them listened attentively, and Fan Ning gradually felt that his spiritual energy was being consumed a lot.

In the secret history "Apollo and Mathias", there is no detailed record of the origin of the priestess. There is only one sentence "born from a well and a wound". The original detailed textual research version is like this.

Although this person always looks sick and decadent and world-weary, his knowledge of secret history and mysticism is so profound that even Pogorelich has to ask for advice.

"In a nutshell, this kind of 'liminal space' usually consists of a huge cluster of 'front rooms', and there are more complex and countless 'back rooms', which are separated from each other by ambiguous transition channels that lack characteristic recognition. Connected, the priestess' true knowledge, the Color of the Double Gate, provides divine power for its operation. In this way, it becomes the gate that guards the 'worms', firmly blocking the vast majority of 'worms' from the world."

Gang tried to understand: "So, the pools we are currently in are just 'front rooms', and there are many 'back rooms' with unknown structures below. They are already abnormal areas - although they are not deep, they are It's a disordered area filled with 'worms' - I don't know if this is the right description."

"good."

After receiving a definite answer, the two people felt that their feet standing in the pool became more and more unsteady when they thought about the things sealed below the surface of the liquid and at the bottom of the well.

"Looking at it now, the first worm war should be a winnable war, right?" He Meng thought for a while and said.

"To put it bluntly, there has never been a lost worm war in history."

Mr. Wax made an expression that was half-smiling, which meant that the consequences of losing had lost the meaning of the discussion.

"Well, what I mean is that judging from the current process alone, it seems that the Noah Dynasty is not enough to reach the end of its downfall."

"Yes, so what changes happened later?"

the two asked.

"Later" Mr. Wax looked up at the wall.

"An unknown fear gnawed at the priestess, and serious problems soon appeared in the process of guarding the 'worm' day after day."
