Chapter 1568： A hundred years in the dark (1/2)

Gawain looked curiously at the silver-haired girl who gave the impression of "pale" in front of him. Although he had heard the description of the other party in the report before, he didn't really realize that the other party was inhuman until he saw it with his own eyes. What exactly is the "different texture" of the girl: what constitutes this girl is the purest black and white, and there is no other color. This extreme pure color even makes the outline of her face appear a little bit. Blurred, and being watched by those colorless eyes, I am afraid most people will feel creepy.

This kind of creepy and foreign texture can even make people subconsciously ignore the girl's pretty face and the friendly and gentle smile at the corner of her mouth.

But Gao Wen is well-informed after all. After the initial surprise and curiosity, his attitude immediately calmed down. He knew that the other party's appearance should be influenced by the "light and shadow master" of Ms. Ye, and the other party's appearance Identity...obvious.

"Hello," he smiled and stretched out his hand, "You should be the Miss Morning Star mentioned in the report?"

The silver-haired girl seemed to be taken aback by Gawain's outstretched hand. She probably didn't expect "the legendary Gawain Cecil" to be so approachable. From Gawain's fingertips, "Hello."

Amber finally reacted at this time. She first glanced at the girl in front of her in surprise, and then the corresponding memories emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help exclaiming: "It's you! I remember it! I was here before. I've been dealing with you while wandering around the city, and there are many people just like you!"

"Yes, that's us, but what you were wandering about in the city was just a projection between the real and the unreal," the girl Morningstar said with a smile, "the 'anchor' was not fully functional at that time, and you had arrived The border of the kingdom of God is at a critical stage of disintegration from the real world at any time, so the lady temporarily blocked part of your self-knowledge and memory, allowing you to live in the city for a while. I'm sorry, in order to make the anchoring process smooth, We have been hiding the truth from you."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way," Amber immediately waved his hands indifferently, but his face showed a happy look, "It's quite interesting to recall that experience, and you also take good care of me, there is food, drink and shelter. place…"

As she spoke, her gaze swept across the chest of Chenxing's black cloak, her gaze stayed on the silver-white emblem, and after a moment of silence, she said softly, "The emblem of the Military Intelligence Agency... Although I can probably Guess what happened, but I still want to hear you tell me Silver-Eyed Cloade, who is yours?"

"He's my great-grandfather," Morningstar smiled lightly, "and the founder of the MIIA's Shadow Affairs Section. He passed away more than a dozen years ago, and my father and grandfather took over his 'inheritance' at an early age. '. Up to now, most of the MI operators in the city of night are 'fourth generation' or earlier 'third generation' like me, you may think my appearance is a bit strange... This is the first The third and fourth generation have completely completed the proof of 'Shadow Affinity'."

Amber opened his mouth and scratched his hair a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not that strange... Although I was really surprised when I saw it for the first time."

Chen Xing just smiled indifferently, and then took a half step back slightly, pointing to the entrance of the city of night: "Please come with me, I will take you through this city on the border between the kingdom of God and the world, Chief Amber, after this you are the real hostess of this city. In addition, I will also introduce you to the situation here on the way. The lost and their descendants have been living in this world for a hundred years. Lots of stuff...to see."

…

The City of Night, as its name suggests, seems to be forever shrouded in a dark and chaotic sky above the city, maintaining a paradoxical state that seems to have entered the night, but there are still glimmers of light illuminating the streets.

This is very different from the desert surrounding the Throne of the Night Lady, which is always illuminated by the pale light...

But even if it is forever shrouded in such a dim sky, even if from a distance the whole city seems to be just an eerie and gloomy silhouette, the streets of this "City of Night" are actually far more than Gawain imagined..." bustling and bustling.”

Because this city has inhabitants, and there are innumerable inhabitants.

In the mist, row upon row of houses lined the streets. From a distance, many houses seemed to be stacked against the geometric principles. Their upside-down outer walls even made it difficult to accurately determine the orientation of doors and windows. On both sides of the road, There are also simple and elegant street lamps that extend into the distance. The crystal lampshade at the top of the street lamps is flickering with a pale and dim light. This light is not for lighting, but simply as an embellishment in the city.

And in the streets and alleys of this city, which looks like a dream and is somewhat absurd and weird, it is the residents of the night city. They are the dark shadows that suddenly flashed from the walls, the misty clouds that are bustling through the streets, and they are all wrapped around them. Rune cloth belts, shadow dwellers with secretive movements, and even many other figures that were not visible to the naked eye at all, but only the whispering voices that sounded in the air, and only from the perception of breath, Gawain could judge. out "there are people out there".

This is the city created by the master of light and shadow. It is located at the "gate" at the border of night. From the painting style to the atmosphere, from the buildings in the city to the residents living here, everything here presents a kind of dream and reality. Staggered weird state, it can even be called a "lucid dream", and even a well-informed person like Gawain, walking on such a city street is quite creepy, which even reminds him of some Description from horror stories:

When you open your eyes and see this place, you feel that there are no figures anywhere, you rubbed your eyes hard, and found that this TM is full of human figures and only human "shadows"...

"The painting style of this place finally begins to match the impression left by the ancient **** 'Lady Night' to the world." Even Amber, who has "lived" in this city for a while, seemed a little uncomfortable. Walking through a low wall, a flat "shadow" like a sheet of paper was printed on the low wall. As Amber's voice fell, the shadow "floated" abruptly from the wall, and then it seemed to be with Gao Wen and others The person said hello, and then turned into an invisible cloud and drifted away, "I didn't feel so wrong when I was wandering in this place before..."

"Your self-awareness was incomplete at the time, so of course you didn't feel any inconsistencies," Morning Star smiled, "but you don't have to be nervous, the residents living in this city are all the children of Lady Ye. The people are the shadow dwellers who have completed their journey of return and regained their senses from the blind wandering state. Maybe their shape is a little weird... but everyone is very friendly, and they will treat you as VIPs."

"They are all shadow dwellers?" Gawain opened his eyes in surprise, "Including the shadow that emerged from the wall just now, and those 'voices' that can only be heard speaking?"

"Yes, they are all shadow dwellers. There are only two kinds of dwellers here, either the 'Descendants of the Lost' like me, or the shadow dwellers," Morningstar smiled and nodded, "and the descendants of the lost are everywhere in the city. The population is very small.”

"...I thought all the shadow dwellers were the ones with rune cloth belts wrapped around their bodies, with a cloud of mist floating inside," Gawain said in surprise, "So they have...other forms."

"Shadow residents also have emotions, and naturally they will have different aesthetics. When they were wandering unconsciously, everyone was the same, but now that they have regained their senses, they will naturally... dress up," Chen Xing said, with a tone and expression that seemed to It's a bit weird. "Of course, their way of dressing may not be the same as the 'outside' aesthetic. For example, in the past two years, many shadow residents seem to have 'translucent black frosted fog with a concentration of 32% with horizontal gray and white. Gradients' as a pop aesthetic... well, honestly, I don't really understand that either."
