SWDnovel 201. Crazy Circus
201. Crazy Circus
Zong Jiu took the cane from the servant.
The cane was made of an unknown fragrant wood, and a huge sapphire was inlaid on the top, reflecting a clear halo. It felt heavy and substantial when held in the hand.
The magician took the cane in his hand and weighed it, and found a Duke's family crest engraved on the cane.
The butler lowered his head, and his eyes only dared to fall on the sapphire.
This humble human must not know that this is the brilliant hope gem known as the "Heart of the Ocean" in the empire, and it is also a family heirloom passed down by the Duke's family for many years.
His Excellency the Duke is powerful in the court, and the meaning behind this cane is naturally needless to say.
As long as this cane is in hand, even the royal family cannot give orders beyond their level, and seeing the cane is like seeing the Duke.
However, Zong Jiu did not look flattered at all. After turning it around in his hand for a few times, he threw it back to the butler without any regrets.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to catch it, fearing that the cane would fall to the ground and break any corners. Even if he chopped off ten heads, it would not be enough.
"Tell him I don't need it."
After saying this, Zong Jiu walked away without looking back, not bothering to see what the other person's expression was.
The Duke's residence was within a few miles, and no blind civilian dared to come to the noble's territory to make trouble. Under the devil's order, no servant dared to stop him. So Zong Jiu left this huge manor very smoothly.
After leaving the manor, he quickly disguised himself and hurriedly ran towards the circus.
Because he really didn't want to take the human carriage, and there was not even a bicycle in this era, so Zong Jiu had to choose to walk.
The Duke's manor is in the center of the royal city, very close to the royal city and not far from the circus.
It's night now, and it will take about a few dozen minutes to run.
At this point, Soujiu frowned: "Subsystem, can you contact Tsuchimikado?"
Tsuchimikado and him were separated. The two shared a system, so they should be able to contact each other through the subsystem.
[Although private contact between trainees violates the rules of the game, but...]
Obviously, the subsystem also remembered that it was now a grasshopper on the same line with these two trainees.
So it was silent for a while, and quietly let it go [You pass a navigation skill, and each successful judgment can refresh the coordinates of the other party for you]
Soujiu curled the corners of his mouth and turned the ten-sided dice.
......
On the other side, Tsuchimikado's situation was not much better.
He was squatting/body, quietly squeezed into the kitchen of the underground farm.
Because of the lack of raw materials, the chef ran to the slaughterhouse to urge the goods, and disappeared with a spatula.
Now the kitchen only has a flame on the stove, and some bloody meat pieces needed for side dishes, and a string of colorful bottles and jars on the table, it is incredibly quiet.
But fortunately, there are many baskets for food here, each one is taller than a person, and they are full of things.
For example, the basket of cabbage next to Tsuchimikado, another basket of carrots, and another basket of potatoes next to it.
The Yin-Yang Master huddled in this pile of food, shrinking himself in it.
For some reason, Tsuchimikado now feels a little strange.
After running out of the basement of the cult, he used the invisibility prop again and ran all the way.
But I don’t know what happened. Maybe because he was running all the time, he didn’t have time to think about it. Now that the Yin-Yang Master squatted down and thought about it carefully, he found a lot of problems.
It seems that these pursuers who came to chase him seem a little too casual.
So casual that the two black cloak cult members who were seen at the beginning did not even appear. What appeared on the road were all bull-headed and horse-faced. Even gradually, the pursuers became fewer and fewer...
Recalling the conversation he overheard in the conference room not long ago, Tsuchimikado felt that something seemed to be wrong.
After thinking for a while, the Yin-Yang Master turned the ten-sided dice and passed the listening.
Before a walking magician sucked his luck, his luck could be called sneaking. It was not 100% accurate, but at least better than that of ordinary people.
[Your roll result is 13/20, listening judgment is successful]
[You feel that your hearing has become sharper all of a sudden, and you can easily hear the sound in the corridor outside behind a wall]
"Hey, did you see the husky that ran away?"
"No, it's enough, it's almost time to go back and report. The adults of the cult have told us not to chase too far, just scare them, anyway, they can't escape on the day of the carnival."
"Indeed, the prey that was branded early on, as long as there is a magic circle, can't escape the palm of the hands of the adults of the cult on the day of the carnival, disperse, disperse."
......
Tsuchimikado was startled, and a certain line was connected in his mind.
His eyes widened, and then he realized that he had overlooked a very fatal problem.
He and the magician were summoned to this super S-level copy world, which can be confirmed by the system.
There are summoning spells in Onmyoji, but Onmyoji summons Shikigami.
This type of summoning spell, whether from the East or the West, has the same obvious similarities.
For example, if the summoned person cannot resist the first time...
Of course you can't resist the second time.
No wonder he overheard the conversation between the two sect survivors. The two survivors said that it didn't matter whether the Duke sent the magician back or not. There was still a magic circle anyway.
"How could I have forgotten this matter? Fortunately, I am still an Onmyoji. Call me a fool."
He was so angry that he hit his head with his fist on the spot: "It's over, it's over, if this is the case, those survivors must have positioned themselves on me and the magician, ah ah ah ah, but I don't have the ability of Onmyoji now, now What should I do-"
"Pfft, yes, you are quite stupid."
Just when Tsuchimikado burst into tears and lamented why he was still so unworthy despite being rid of Onmyoji's abilities, the magician's lazy voice suddenly sounded above his head.
Tsuchimikado was stunned for a moment and then jumped up.
"Damn it, when did you come? You scared me to death!"
He was startled and didn't react until he saw Zong Jiu's teasing face.
"...You kept running, do you know how many pilots I threw before I found you?"
When this was mentioned, Zong Jiu became very angry.
I don't know what Zhuge An did to their luck. After Zong Jiu and Tu Yumen separated, his own luck became particularly unstable.
Forget it, I finally succeeded with a desperate dice, but the coordinates of Tuyumen changed again, causing Zongjiu to run around here.
He pretended to be a good person, but many animals saw the Duke's family crest on his suit and thought he was some big shot, so they let him in.
Zongjiu didn't expect that he would throw back the cane sent by the devil, and then he would be able to get some light from the puppet NPC controlled by the other party. It was a bit magical to think about it.
But don't take advantage of the bastard, it's not his initiative to take advantage.
So this time Zong Jiu walked into the underground farm arrogantly like a big shot and looked for traces of Tsuchimikado nearby.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this."
In a few words, he briefly described what he had experienced that day and night, "What about you?"
"me......"
Tsuchimikado said with a sad face: "The position given to us by the survivors, no matter where we escape, as long as they draw a magic circle on the ground on the day of the carnival festival, they can summon us anytime and anywhere."
This is indeed bad news. Especially when Zong Jiu asked about the excessive system, and the sub-system also said that all the skills of the ten-sided dice were powerless against this counter-summoning.
"Don't be anxious yet." Zong Jiu put his index finger on his chin and fell into thinking: "You mean, almost half of the survivors twenty years ago actually survived, and even went into hibernation and established their faith. The cult of the evil god?”
The onmyoji nodded, "The animals in this copy all firmly believe in an evil god named Sardar Hegra. The "Sussex Manuscript" says that Sardar Hegra is just an incarnation, and he has more. However, even the manuscript says that believing in this evil god is an act of complete madness, because from the moment you believe in the evil god... your mind will be eroded by indescribable ominousness and darkness. , getting crazy.”
"But they still believe in Him unswervingly, and prepare a carnival festival every ten years. In fact, the festival is a ceremony used to sacrifice to the evil god. It is said that only by choosing satisfactory sacrifices, the evil god can He will appear with great mercy and fulfill the wishes of the cultists.”
This isn't quite right.
Survivors in the infinite loop rarely have faith, and even if they do, it is impossible to believe in evil gods. Even twenty years ago, these survivors would not have been so powerful as to go into a terrifying dungeon to promote evil.
Unless... this super S-level copy itself has a tradition of believing in evil religions and evil gods.
Just when Zong Jiu realized this, a warm reminder came from the sub-system.
[Trigger key clues, inspiration test, please]
It has to be said that Zongjiu's luck has improved again with Tsuchimikado.
[Your throwing result is 21/35, inspiration determination is successful]
[Some memory fragments that are difficult to notice are suddenly connected in your mind. Some previously ignored details are also pieced together along this clue. So you seem to have a new and extremely bold view of the situation in front of you. Speculation...]
Accompanied by the cold mechanical sound of the subsystem, Zongjiu suddenly recalled the parts that he and Tsuchimikado had not noticed when they were looking for clues in the underground farm.
For example... when you stand above the farm and look down, you can see that the pig pen is obviously too large. No matter how you look at it, the body shape is not suitable for a small human being. There are many architectural styles that are unreasonable and not even suitable for animals but for humans. There are also some strange facilities in the underground farm, everything seems to be interchanged with the real world.
Zhuge An once said that the source of all horror copies is the real world. No matter how absurd it is, it cannot be divorced from the background of reality.
But something is obviously not quite right about this world.
With the blessing of a successful inspiration judgment, Zong Jiu seemed to have divine help.
"Wait a minute, did you just say that if you summon the evil god, your wish will come true?"
The copy that was suddenly dragged from the light dimension to the dark dimension, and the darkness that filled this copy was as ubiquitous as the plague. Crazy animals, cruel rule, sick class system and concepts.
The survivors who were suddenly cut off from the main system and left in the dungeon volunteered to become the mainstay of the cult, and even started practicing black magic, planning to hold the ceremony again. Even... devout faith.
Under what circumstances can a survivor without faith be allowed to voluntarily believe in an evil god and rack his brains to summon the evil god a second time?
unless--
"Then tell me, twenty years ago... is it possible that the evil god was successfully summoned once?"
See it with your own eyes.
And, one wish came true.
The author has something to say: This copy will be finished in the next two days~
