old dream

Chapter 116 "Reappearance in a Foreign Land"

Arecio did not use the convention described in "The Devil's Hierarchy".

Because the devil can only fulfill his covenant with one person at a time.When the agreement between it and Colin was still in effect, even if he ignited the laurel leaves on the spot again, he could not overwrite the earlier agreement.

Without a sophisticated detection device, Aresio could not determine the location of the shuttle demon.

But he can at least know the other party's presence, relying on intuition and logic.

Regardless of the danger along the way, Ke Lin wanted to catch up with him before ten o'clock, which meant that he had indeed summoned the shuttle demon.

And when he starts ignoring the time limit and chatting about things that don't fit with him, he may be trying to distract himself.

But in fact, he has already controlled the shuttle demon and launched an attack.

Aresio has been paying attention to Colin's eyes.

Of course it's not to observe some illusory murderous aura.

For a shooter like Colin who has long been used to killing people, his eyes will not reveal any information.

But Colin was not yet a skilled wizard.

So when he focused his intentions on the Shuttle Demon, his pupils would constrict slightly and become hollow for a moment.

Aresio grasped this detail keenly, thus knowing the timing of the shuttle demon's attack.

He took a step forward as if taking a walk.

The end of the Shuttle Demon's limb cut into his back the next moment, but it was too shallow, only the muscle was cut, and the internal organs were not injured.

Why do you want to hide forward?

The four directions of front, back, left, and right are just betting on a quarter of the winning rate.

But that was only one attack, what should I do next time?
There is no next time.

Because I can already confirm that it is in this carriage.

While avoiding the shuttle demon's blade, Aresio has already pulled the "trigger".

He didn't know when he was holding a pen in his hand, and with a slight force with one hand, he closed the cap of the pen with a "click".

The redstone circuit engraved in the pen cap was connected together, and a long-prepared ceremony was initiated.

And its ceremonial space is the carriage itself.

Colin felt that the atmosphere in the carriage seemed to have changed subtly in an instant.

But the situation no longer allowed him to think too much.

One shot missed, but the offensive did not stop. Colin controlled the Shuttle Demon to approach Aresio again.

The limbs extending from its joints grew again, and it was necessary to chop the lampkeeper from multiple angles.

"Do you think it's a terrible thing for a blind man to get a gun?"

Suddenly, Arecio said quietly.

The sharp limbs of the Shuttle Demon sank into Aresio's throat without hindrance, and then passed out.

But Colin's frown did not loosen. He focused on his intentions again, commanding the Shuttle Demon to launch a berserk offensive.

In just a few seconds, countless limbs were like blades, constantly piercing into the Lantern Keeper's body from various angles.

They pierced and pulled out quickly and sharply, but did not leave any injuries, and did not bring any blood.

It was as if Arecio was already a ghost.

None of the attacks worked.

Frequency limit, Colin immediately thought of the problem.

It may be that for some reason, the frequency of this space in the carriage has been changed.

It's like being in different radio frequency bands, and the call between the two cannot be carried out.The influence of the shuttle demon is cut off from this space.

"That could be a bad thing, but it's by no means a terrible thing."

Arecio continued talking about the topic just now, and the blind man got the gun.

It might look scary, but it's not like you're going to be able to hit someone with gunfighting experience.

……

Shaking.

You can use the tremor to drag Aresio into the frequency where the Shuttle Demon is.

As Colin's thoughts reached, the Shuttle Demon immediately made a roaring gesture, and was heading towards Aresio, who was less than two meters away from it.

Shocking, it will be like a heavy hammer, slamming down on the spirit of the listener.

However, this time the Shuttle Demon made a roar, but only the sound reverberated, without other effects.

In other words, it's just that those voices failed to reach this carriage.

So what exactly is it that adjusts the entire carriage to a frequency that the Shuttle Demon cannot reach?
"I seem to understand why Aresio wants to kill so many people."

Giovanni had a wry smile on his lips.

If it is just to cover up the traces, there is no need to do this.

His real purpose is to rewrite and lock the frequency background sound in this carriage.

Colin recalled the tragic situation in the first few cars, and gradually felt a chill in his heart.

"If the method of imaging can really lift the first curtain, then why can't you see anything now?"

The retired lampkeeper seems to be mocking, but also seems to be laughing at himself.Because he, who has been abandoned by the lights, also cannot see invisible things.

After walking away for a while, he continued:
"Aren't they all here. It's full, crowded everywhere."

Alessio seemed to be introducing some non-existent guests, with his palms facing up and his arms stretched forward, drawing an arc towards the empty seats.

Colin couldn't see anything, but he understood what Alessio meant.

...there are 44 ghosts of the unjustly dead.

They were ruthlessly shot on the train, full of resentment, followed Arecio all the way to this carriage.

This train is like a huge coffin, locking the return of these dead.

"The ritual of tuning the land with the ghosts of the dead."

Giovanni was not angry at the behavior of his old partner, perhaps he had already gotten used to Arecio's behavior style.

So now he just muttered with some surprise:
"This is...'A Foreign Land Reappearance'."

Even Giovanni saw this universal ritual presented in its entirety for the first time.Because its requirements are extremely strict, and it is almost on the verge of being banned.

"You have been with me for more than ten years, and you have become more and more discerning, Giovanni."

Aresio said approvingly.Then he turned around and slapped his palms twice:

"Let me welcome the two of you as the host."

"Although we are in Stade, you are welcome."

"—to Cincily!"

……

Several people in the carriage have already arrived in Cincily temporarily.

This is not a metaphor, but a fact.

The western suburbs are where smugglers gather, so most of the passengers on this train are immigrants who just came to the League from Sincilia.

Arecio used these souls to provide fuel for "reappearance in a foreign land", and used their frequencies to rewrite the "background sound" of these spaces.

"The original background sound of Stade is located in the intersection of the Anhe cultural circle and the Nale cultural circle."

Giovanni whispered.

"But now the background sound in this carriage is close to that of Xinxili."

The Urju devil appears most often in the areas radiated by the Nalek cultural circle.

Alessio's original frequency of consciousness is {his own frequency, Stadt background sound}.The intersection between Shuttle Demon and him only exists in the background sound of Stade.

But now, the background sound has been modified to Cincily.

The Sincilians resist all things related to the imaginary world and worship artificial "lights".

Even the gods they believe in are the so-called "ancestor gods", who come from the mortal world rather than the imaginary world.

Therefore, the resonance of the gathering intention of the Cincilians made the background sound point to an extremely remote frequency.

The "reappearance of a foreign land" launched by their souls is almost like a forbidden area for the creatures of the imaginary world.

"The bad news is that we're in the ritual space of 'Foreign Lands Again.'"

Giovanni looked around the carriage and said:

"And the good news is that we're in the ritual space of 'a foreign land reappeared.'"

This means that Alessio's position is inside the carriage, and they can destroy it from within the ritual.

If those ghosts can be eliminated, the ritual will end.

But the question is, how to eliminate invisible things?

Giovanni looked around, but found no ghosts at all.

What can a blind man do with a gun?At this moment Giovanni finally understood Arecio's sarcasm.

But what really displeased Giovanni was that the ceremony of "reappearing in a foreign land" was quite cumbersome and lengthy.

So how did Arecio prepare it in just a few minutes?

Giovanni had some bad feelings in his heart.
