Chapter 566 – Foreign Matter
Chapter 566 – Foreign Matter
To Duncan, the easiest guess of the series of messages that the Profound Holy Lord had hastily conveyed to himself was actually the one at the very beginning-something that was designed to have a lifespan of only eight thousand years was now operating at overload.
The first thing he could think of was the “sun” that was now hanging high above the boundless sea, but had already started to malfunction continuously, and even started to drop parts downwards – and that was the “First Vision” that was created by the Cretan clan under the leadership of the Profound Holy Lord during the ancient kingdom of Creta! The “First Vision” of the Cretan Clan under the leadership of the Profound Holy Lord during the ancient kingdom of Crete.
The sun has been in continuous operation for 10,000 years, if its original design life is really only 8,000 years then …… then its current disturbing state will have an explanation.
By extension, the Profound Lord also mentions that “they” have been waiting for a signal from “somewhere” for this period of time, but have not yet received it – here “they” means “they”. Who does “they” refer to? Who is the “they” here? And where is the “somewhere” that the short noise refers to?
“We didn’t receive a signal outside of &*%$ within the time limit ……”
Duncan recalled in his mind the original words he heard from the ancient god at that time, and combined with the description in the Book of Blasphemy, he could boldly guess that the “we” in the other party’s mouth should refer to the “ancient kings”, that is, it includes the four righteous gods and various other ancient gods and lost gods, including the four ancient gods and the lost gods of the past. Ancient Gods and Lost Gods – just this piece of information was enough to turn this world upside down.
The Four Righteous Gods and the world’s recognized “Evil Ancient Gods” were waiting for something together, and even had a common goal – if the original Vanna heard this, she was afraid that she would go out with a jump on the spot.
But Duncan is more concerned about, is the second half of this sentence: “&*%$ outside the signal”…… What in the end is that short noise?
If it was linked to the previous Vision 001-Sun that also turned into a short noise in the mouth of the Profound Holy Lord, then could it be assumed that the short noise here also referred to something that was close in nature and of comparable rank to Vision 001? Or what important similarities existed?
What are the characteristics of Vision 001? Is it ancient? Is it a highly mysterious ancient god’s creation? Is it a huge scale that affects the entire world? Is it suspected of being related to the Black Sun? Or is it ……
Its “parts” contain some of the key structures from the “old world”, such as the “lost stars”… …
So the short bursts of noise in the “&*%$ Outside Signal” section could also be related to the Old World?
Duncan raised his hand and rubbed his slightly sore forehead, then he paused and looked at his hands thoughtfully.
The usurper …… is not the first time he has heard a “man” call himself that.
The “Black Sun” had called himself that, and now the “Profound Holy Lord” had also called himself that, and the most important thing they had in common was the rank of the Ancient Gods – that is, the “Ancient Kings”. “The most important thing they have in common is that they are members of the Ancient Gods, that is, the Ancient Kings.
However, judging from the attitude of the Profound Holy Lord, it seems that he only knows the name or concept of the “Fire Usurper”, but he does not know the specific abilities and nature of the “Fire Usurper”, and the only valid information he has revealed is that the “Fire Usurper” is at the “End of the Cycle”, and that the “Fire Usurper” is at the “End of the Cycle”. The only valid information he revealed was that the Fire Tamperer had awakened at the “end of the cycle” ……
What about the other Ancient Kings? Storm Goddess, Eternal Flame, God of Wisdom …… These “gods” who have more or less maintained close contact with the earthly world, would they know more?
Duncan shook his head and sighed softly with a helpless expression.
This world is full of mysteries, but also in himself is so many mysteries, and even worse is that the gang of “ancient gods” and “positive gods” even more than their own understanding of this, it is inevitably annoying, and even more annoying is that this gang of gods is not a good network, the connection is completely random. The connection is completely arbitrary ……
As for the so-called “end of the cycle” and what the hell, Duncan has no clue, also do not have the energy to find out.
He strolled through the path at the edge of the garden and returned to the pillar, gazing at the silver-haired figure sleeping in the thorn bushes.
Whether the Profound Lord created this Alice Mansion, or there was an Alice Mansion first, and then the Profound Lord used this Mansion to establish a link with the real world, one thing is conclusive: the doll sleeping here is inseparable from the “Alice” in the real world.
Duncan came to the sleeping doll and took out the clockwork key he had brought with him, then as long as he turned the key on the doll, he could return to the real world.
But just then, a new idea came into his mind.
Duncan silently put away the key and turned towards the garden exit door.
Following the route he remembered, he made his way through the shady, overgrown trees and flower beds and came back to the garden gate with its ornate stained glass and intricate iron lines.
The gate was ajar, and faintly could be heard from the direction of the hall of the public house the sounds of conversation, footsteps, and the soft, intermittent sound of music as if it were a never-ending ball.
He pushed open this door, and the long, deep corridor was empty.
But no sooner had Duncan taken a step into the corridor than the ghostly, headless butler burst into his line of sight – as if the headless butler had been standing in the shadows a few meters away from there from the start.
“Ah, it is the guest with the key in hand,” the butler greeted him warmly, a low, muffled voice coming from his chest, “You have greeted the mistress?”
Duncan gave the frightening headless walker a look, “You’re staring at me?”
“I’m just waiting for my guest’s call at any time – and you were only gone for a short while, so I’ve been waiting here,” the headless butler bent down slightly, his tone as polite and proper as ever, “May I ask what your next command?”
Only been away for a short while?
Duncan frowned slightly, remembering the last time the other man had mentioned the strange concept of ‘time’ in the public house.
That is to say,……, just as he returned to the real world after a moment no matter how long he was delayed in this public house, no matter how long he was active in the real world after leaving here, it was also just a moment for the servants in the public house?
This public house wasn’t simply time standing still, but was running independently of each other and the timeline of the real world?
How exactly was the process behind this?
Many more questions surfaced in his mind in an instant, Duncan’s expression didn’t change, he just slightly nodded to the steward in front of him and casually asked, “During this ‘little while’ that I was gone, has there been any change in the public house?” “It is as it has always been, my guest,” the butler replied immediately, “Very few changes have been ushered into the public house; it has been in this form since I can remember.”
Duncan hmmm’d, then asked offhandedly, “Has any other guest ever entered that garden before me?”
“Other guests?” The butler seemed puzzled for a moment and quickly replied, “Of course not, as you know, only the mistress and the gardener have access to the garden area, other than that it’s only open to guests with a key in their hand – why do you ask all of a sudden?”
Instead of answering the other man, Duncan followed up with, “The ‘gardener’ you speak of, what does he look like?”
“No one knows what a gardener …… looks like,” said the steward, with increasing hesitation, as if he had never answered a question on this level of “detail” to anyone, so that every step of thought became more and more difficult and sluggish. The gardener stopped appearing a long time ago, when the garden no longer needed to be pruned, he went back to where he should be …… The gardener is not the same as an ordinary servant, his task is to make sure that his mistress is comfortable and undisturbed when she is taking a nap, and he is not responsible for anything in the house, nor is he responsible for any of the things that go on in the house, nor is he responsible for any of the things that happen in the house. responsible for anything within it, nor does he need to …… communicate with me ……”
“It seems that even you, the ‘butler’, don’t know much about the mansion,” Duncan spoke blandly as he gazed at the headless corpse in front of him. “And is there a name you’ve heard of?”
“Name? You please speak.”
“The Holy Lord of the Profound, the King of Creeps, LH-01 – He could be called any of those three names, have you heard of Him?”
The butler was silent for a few seconds, seemingly thinking hard.
Then a reply with an apology came from his chest, “I’m sorry, guest, I have no recollection.”
The butler’s tone was sincere.
Duncan couldn’t tell the change in the other’s expression from a body without a head, and the headless walker’s posture was as meticulous as a machine’s, not revealing any emotional fluctuations at all, so he could only trust the other’s reply for the time being.
“Alright, thanks for your answer.”
The headless butler bent slightly, “I hope this has helped you ……”
He suddenly stopped, and immediately afterward, as if he had heard something urgent, he jerked straight up and turned in the other direction.
Almost at the same time, Duncan also sensed a change in the atmosphere in the public house – a feeling of tension and panic seemed to steeply fill the air, while countless hurried footsteps as well as whispers instantly resounded in the empty corridors!
He immediately turned to the headless butler, “What’s happening?”
“Foreign object intrusion, guest, please excuse me.” The butler said quickly, and immediately afterward, he turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor, looking unusually hasty.
Foreign object invasion?
Duncan instantly froze after hearing this word, before he could react the butler had already walked away on his own, he saw this and hesitated for a moment, he also immediately took a step to follow.
The butler walked forward quickly while slightly turning his body, seemed to look at the “guest” who followed, but did not have the intention to stop.
Duncan saw the situation to rest assured, followed behind the butler and hurried all the way through the corridor, through the stairs on the first floor, and came to the second floor of the long corridor leading to the “bedchamber”.
Countless shadows of servants emerged from the air, headless maids and maids have gathered in the corridor, these “lost souls” living in Alice’s public house whispering, their voices humming and rumbling, completely indistinguishable from the meaning of it, but only the feeling of uneasiness truly pervades the air.
Duncan recognized the path, and remembered that it ended in the bedroom where the spirit of the Frost Queen, Rae Nora, had once slept, but now, with the Queen’s spirit out of the way, that room had been “torn” from the main body of the mansion – at the end of the corridor! At the end of the corridor, there should be only a big hole leading to an endless dark space.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don’t touch the intruder!” The butler’s voice came from the front, the other party was walking forward while repelling the assembled maids and maids, at this moment, he showed a little bit of the majesty of the “manager of the public house”, “Where is the foreign object?”
The assembled servants retreated one after another, leaving an open space in front of the corridor.
Duncan’s eyes passed over the headless butler’s shoulders, and finally saw the appearance of the “foreign object” that caused the entire public house to become nervous.
His expression froze for a moment.
It was a small bag of garbage.
It looked familiar.
