Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2215 1-423
So it's... two moons?
The seemingly natural occurrence just now actually had a different logic in essence?

It wasn't a manifestation shared by the witch, but rather her interplay with the dark moon in mid-air?

The meaning behind this seems to be quite significant.

"Nightmare Corridor?"

Blinked and asked casually before paying.

"It's very likely that... even with such a connection, I still find it difficult to reach."

As expected, the witch confirmed this idea.

"Interesting. So the reason the Death Star was able to react so quickly just now was probably because 'It' reacted quickly?"

Fu Qian pointed to the sky.

Given the Death Star's predicament, it's certain that they would do everything in their power to find a solution, but the time it took for the witch to stimulate him and elicit a reaction was indeed a bit too efficient.

While it can certainly be attributed to the will to survive, at this moment, there is clearly a more reasonable explanation.

The first thing to respond to the witch was actually the dark moon overhead, which then lit up the Death Star's path home.

As for why the response was so quick—it's because it's backed by a power that shares the same origin as the witch.

Why wasn't there a response before? The witch has been searching for her for many years.

Because it was so well hidden, and without someone like the Death Star to help locate it? Was this discovery an accident?
For the person in question, this reason is not convincing enough.

There is a logical sequence to the problem.

It was only after the Dark Moon above reacted and the Death Star attempted to "descend" upon the female giant that the witch was able to locate this place by following the clues.

The Death Star may have played a role, but it was not involved in the preceding response process.

So, because of the fusion of nightmares, that originally hidden place has become closer to Rieltin and all the nightmares, thus making it more sensitive?
That's one explanation, if the witch hadn't commented later—she would still be difficult to touch based on this fundamental connection.

When these elements are combined, compared to the previous ones, there seems to be a more reasonable explanation—the source of the Dark Moon's reflection is beyond this world.

It wasn't just because of the concealment, but because some changes brought them closer, which led to such a sensitive reaction.

There may be many major changes that have happened in this world recently, but one of the most recent is the one I discussed with the witch a little earlier—the Other Shore.

The paradox created by the two of them seems to have given this world a special attribute.

This special attribute is suspected to be related to Nightmare Corridor.

Even the lobbyists among those trapped inside have already proven that the Nightmare Corridor can influence this world.

……

There are traces of the witch's "mother" in the passageway I've been using.

This is undoubtedly explosive news.

"I can't feel any active will; it's probably similar to this place, just some kind of residue."

Although the witch's subsequent addition made everything sound a little more reasonable.

It's just a trace, not the person.

The Witch is now the undisputed symbol of the Dark Moon, so it would be rather strange if there were a second one.

The original Dark Moon left its mark here and was also able to participate in the Long Night, so it seems that it can travel between the two sides; there must be a passage.

In conclusion, the probability of someone following the same path as you is indeed not low.

"But you still want to go and see it?"

While making his own comments, Fu Qian continued speaking.

Although she emphasized that it was a remnant, based on her understanding of witches, she probably didn't want to miss this detail.

Even if that place looks like a prison for those in power.

"I think it's still very necessary."

As expected, the witch nodded. "I can try to take you there."

The payment process was also very straightforward, respecting opinions.

As for things like "intangible," that might be true for a witch, but don't forget that not long ago, the two of them worked together to cross dimensions.

The places I went were even bookstores that seemed more elusive than the Nightmare Corridor.

So you could try the same trick again, go ahead first, and bring the bone chain in with you.

Theoretically speaking, if I could trigger the extreme hunger infection again right now, I could achieve that...

"But please wait a moment."

Instead of doing that, Fu Qian reached out and removed the messenger's mask.

In just a moment, the familiar warehouse reappeared before my eyes.

……

It was indeed silky smooth; this wasn't an isolated incident.

Realizing that he had successfully removed his mask and returned home once again, Fu Qian silently sighed with relief.

For the warehouse, it already felt no different from the world of bookstores.

Considering that it had been speculated long ago that the warehouse and the Nightmare Corridor might have a special relationship, the witch's speculation that the mark came from the Nightmare Corridor can be seen as a partial confirmation.

Because of the pollution from the "Other Shore" attribute, that world has a different meaning for the warehouse, and also for the Nightmare Corridor.

Then, stimulated by the witch, the faint traces of the dark moon left in the Nightmare Corridor reacted quickly.

If this speculation is true, then this discovery can be considered a fortunate coincidence resulting from a rational decision.

If the Death Star hadn't fallen in, then it's highly likely that the place wouldn't have been detected until it shattered and disappeared.

If it weren't for the actions he and the witch took in the Other Shore and brought out this special attribute, then even if they found that place, the Dark Moon Mark in the Nightmare Corridor might not have reacted.

In conclusion, Fu Qian largely agrees with the assessment of the witch.

As for her decision, Fu Qian certainly didn't think it was just to satisfy curiosity or anything like that.

"It is very necessary" is not just a saying; currently, there are simply too many mysteries surrounding Darkmoon.

Not to mention that the witch had just suffered a great loss.

If you don't have a holistic understanding of the situation, you might unknowingly fall into a trap or dead end.

As for why he agreed to the witch's idea and even had a plan in place, he still asked her to wait a little longer.

Of course there's a reason.

The first thing we're doing right now is returning to the warehouse by removing the mask to verify our previous guesses, minimizing the possibility of overthinking.

Secondly, it's quite simple; Fu Qian's gaze fell on the table in front of him.

Exploring the Nightmare Corridor is different from the warehouse quest; you can arm yourself appropriately. So come back to grab some items, and finally—

[WARNING, Leakage Incident]

That's right, although theoretically we've just completed a task.

But don't forget that they were forcibly pulled in, meaning that according to the warehouse's standards, that was the last minute of the day.

So theoretically, as long as you go back into the warehouse, the leak will occur the next day.

The leaked information may continue to help verify the speculation.
