Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

"There should be traces... Let's look for it again."

Lux flew into the air, then deployed a large three-dimensional magic circle with himself as the center and began to search by all means.

Conanshan wandered around the ground, but couldn't find anything useful.

"Can we just wait until that moving ghost place appears again..."

The strange place that swallowed up the XCOM troops had a certain pattern to its actions.

As long as this pattern does not change, it is actually quite simple to infer where it will appear next time.

However, no one can be sure what the condition of the members of the swallowed action team will be when that place appears next time.

Just when Conan-san stopped searching, there was a sudden call from the command room.

"Advisor Ke, we have made some discoveries here."

"What is it?"

Conanshan quickly took out his tablet to receive the information.

"It's like this. Before the action team disappeared, the light emitted by Consultant Schultz slightly illuminated the road in that strange area. At the moment when the fog completely came, we captured a picture."

"........."

By this time, Conanshan had already received the photos from the headquarters.

It was a photo of a road leading deep into an unknown area, a road sign that was supposed to be unclear.

By coincidence and also by luck, the technology of the human world recorded the words on it.

Conan-san, who always wears a translation watch on his wrist, can of course understand the names of the road signs.

Therefore, after seeing the name clearly, he fell into an extremely long silence.

"Fuck you..."

Conan-san now just wants to curse the sky.

He hadn't imagined it would be like this.

He should have expected this to happen.

"Fuck it...it's 'Silent Hill'! Holy crap!"

163 Silent Hill

Silent Hill, also known as Silent Hill.

It’s the same old thing from Conan’s previous life.

Silent Hill, to put it simply, is a horror game, a game series.

After the development of this game series, different entertainment works such as TV series, movies, and novels were launched.

The Silent Hill series is also well-known among horror entertainment works.

It is much more famous than the "Seventh Dragon God", the source of the alien dragons worshipped by the Dragon Cult that appeared earlier.

Conan really never thought that Silent Hill would appear at this time.

During his summer vacation at Hogwarts two years ago, he took a brief tour around the human world. The purpose of this journey was to find out whether there were hidden problems in some rather suspicious places.

In this strange patchwork world, there are cities whose names are known throughout the heavens and the myriad worlds.

For example, the two-dimensional series such as Beika-cho in Fuyuki City.

There are also equally famous works that tend to be realistic, such as Gotham City and Raccoon City.

Not to mention the Academy City Miskatonic University and the like.

As a time traveler, Conan Shan became a little restless after learning about the existence of these places.

So, he planned it and personally went to all the places with questionable names and took some time to check them out.

During this journey, he also took the initiative to look for some places that he didn't know whether they existed.

Silent Hill is one of them.

Conan Mountain has been confirmed. In this parallel world in the United States, the legendary tourist attraction Silent Hill does not exist.

Just like he couldn't find any place like Kaigami Village or Hanyu Snake Village in the Far East.

Since they cannot be found and there are no official records, these places from horror games should not exist in this world of stitched monsters.

That's how it should be.

But now, Silent Hill has emerged.

The place where Silent Hill first appeared was not the United States, but England.

Moreover, this Silent Hill can move and will devour innocent people who approach it.

The action team sent by XCOM had not even entered the area. They had only conducted the initial test before they disappeared because of Silent Hill.

"Sure enough, the Silent Hill that appeared in this damn stitched world was modified..."

Although Conan is an old 2D fan, he was not a genius with photographic memory in his previous life. Even if he has read the stories and settings of Silent Hill, it is impossible for him to remember them all.

Moreover, it is obvious that the Silent Hill that appears here must be different from the original setting. Even if he remembers the relevant detailed settings, it may not be of much use.

"However, even if it is a patchwork and modified Silent Hill, we should be able to find some references in the original setting... Is there any?"

Conanshan looked up at Lux who was descending from the sky.

The local XCOM headquarters sent a message to Conan-san, and Lukemus, the chief magic consultant, naturally received it at the same time.

However, just now, Lux was concentrating on using magic to search for his missing companions and was unable to respond to the XCOM headquarters immediately.

"Silent Hill?"

Lux was holding a smartphone, concentrating and looking seriously at the road signs of the strange place recorded by the technology of the human world.

"Ke, do you know anything?"

Rux turned around and looked at his companion.

A smart man like him, who was also familiar with Conan Mountain, quickly realized from his companion's expression that the other party seemed to know something about that strange place.

"I know a little bit..."

Conan-san nodded hesitantly.

It's true that he knew about the existence of Silent Hill, but it's hard to say how reliable his knowledge is.

But since there is no more information and clues now, we can only try our best.

"Silent Hill, as far as I know, is a land with mysterious power. It has two worlds, the inner and outer worlds. It can be considered a different world. It is a haunted place that will reveal the darkness in the hearts of those who enter it...

But, I have investigated all over the world before, and Silent Hill should not exist in our world... Although this ghost place has appeared now..."

"Is it a land with mysterious power that doesn't exist in this world?"

Rux looked thoughtful.

Then, he revealed his findings without hiding anything.

"Ke, I have tried every possible way to check. There is indeed nothing left in the area where Silent Hill once appeared. I can't find anything, and there is no magical reaction at all. However, I still found some suspicious clues... I felt the remnants of a dream, and I found traces of fantasy."

"The remnants of a dream?"

Conan-san was stunned for a moment.

"In other words, Silent Hill might be a very special area between reality and fantasy?"

His companion was as powerful as ever, and actually found some clues that might have been impossible to find.

"It's possible, but I can't be sure. What I found is completely illusory. I can only express my feelings..."

Even in the human world, Lux continued to pay attention to the situation in the magic world.

After he knew that the Ministry of Magic had accepted demons from another world, and discovered the existence of nightmares at the same time, he did try to find out.

A cautious person like Lukes would prepare corresponding means to deal with new things that might appear, regardless of whether there was a chance to use them or not.

The reason why he was able to find traces of dreams at this moment was originally to deal with the so-called nightmare creatures.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, because he did not know much about the so-called dream, he could not find more.

"What I can be sure of is that Silent Hill is not a demiplane controlled by magicians. There are very few demiplanes that can move long distances, and if they really move, they will definitely leave a lot of magical traces, but there are none here.

As for naturally generated secret realms, there aren't many in the magic world. Even if there are, they shouldn't be able to move around so freely. The magic environment in the human world isn't enough to form secret realms either.

Silent Hill might really be a place that exists in dreams. If so, I must have been pulled from reality into fantasy..."

What Lux is most concerned about now is the situation of his subordinates.

Silent Hill is obviously some kind of unknown phenomenon that has never appeared in this world before, which means that no one in this world has any corresponding experience.

"We have to find Silent Hill again and rescue the people as soon as possible... Even my reliable subordinates may not be able to hold out there for long."

The dozens of subordinates that Lux brought from the magic world to the human world are not only loyal enough, but also have considerable strength.

Otherwise, he would not have brought them to adventure into the unknown human world.

However, even if he had confidence in his subordinates, Silent Hill was too strange and their entire army might be wiped out if they were not careful.

"Since we know that Silent Hill might be of a dreamlike nature and might exist in a dream, there should be a way to deal with it... I'll go prepare."

"Are you confident?"

Conan-san called out to Lux who was about to open a portal to return to the local XCOM headquarters.

"Wouldn't Silent Hill avoid you? Even if your magic could cover a fairly wide area, maybe it would be avoided?"

"Now I can only try everything. I don't want to wait any longer."

Lukes is a veritable super magic genius.

If he were given enough time and information to fully understand the essence of Silent Hill's existence, he would definitely be able to develop magic specifically designed to target it.

But he didn't have that kind of time.

He couldn't wait to develop the relevant magic, he had to rescue his subordinates from Silent Hill as soon as possible.

"What I'm saying is that if you fail, it might cause a big reaction in Silent Hill, and then lead to some changes within the company that we don't want to see..."

"……etc."

Lux interrupted Conan-san before he could continue.

Because he already understood what this companion wanted to do.

"Do you want to risk going in? No, it's too dangerous."

"I think it's a more stable approach for me to enter Silent Hill alone and not cause any excessive reactions."

Conanshan imitated Lux's nonchalant look and relaxed his shoulders.

"Silent Hill should be aware of your strength and the danger you pose, so they are avoiding you. However, if it were me, it would be different."

"........."

Rooks frowned, very rarely, and was speechless.

He understood that there was some truth in what his companion said.

If you only look at Conan's appearance, probably 100% of people would think that he is an ordinary magician, a student still studying in a magic school.

As long as he doesn't take out those treasures, no one will ever understand his true power.

And this is not a disguise, he just looks completely ordinary.

That weird place, that Silent Hill, probably can’t reveal the true situation of Conan Mountain.

In other words, Conan should be able to enter Silent Hill smoothly.

"Roux, stop fussing. This is not like you. Don't forget, we don't have much time. We have to get ready before Silent Hill appears again."

Conanshan didn't want to take any risks either.

However, in order to truly destroy Silent Hill and prevent this haunted place from ever appearing again, it seems that he has no choice but to go to the front line in person.

If possible, he would also like to summon his heroic spirit to take the adventure on his behalf, but he simply does not have the time to do so now.
