Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3992 White Town
Angel glanced at the chat bar and found that no one had said anything, so he clicked on the random rumor.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well take a look at the differences between the rumors about the book pages and the rumors about the fashion monsters.

After a moment, a sentence appeared in the text column.

"Random rumor: According to legend, there is a hidden town in the underground city. Perhaps we can get some clues from the Pure White Church in the 61st town."

A bit of a strange rumor.

On the surface, there are no clues directly related to the "special pages".

However, Angel guessed that there was a high probability that the special page was hidden in the so-called "hidden town", and as long as he found this town, he should be able to discover something.

But here comes the problem.

Ingres had scanned the modern city from a God's perspective more than once, and he had actually seen hidden rooms and hidden spaces.

But in his impression, there is no so-called hidden town in the underground block.

There are only sixty-one towns.

Could it be that the so-called hidden town in the rumors is a space similar to the hidden waters? It seems to be connected to the Modern City, but in fact it is isolated from the void, and can only be connected if certain conditions are met?
If this is the case, it is possible to escape his God's perspective.

While Ingres was lost in thought, April 1st came and brought thanks from Ms. Lizzie.

Then, April 1st said goodbye to Ingres, holding the investigation report on the "Cleaning Room Corpse Case" obtained from Lizzie.

According to him, he planned to go to the place where his sister rented before her death according to the information in the report, maybe there were any clues that were missed.

After April 1st left, Angel's eyes were fixed on Lizzie.

At this time, [Reality Liz] has gone offline, and the one working in the Fashion Guild office now is [Hokei Liz]

Angel noticed that although [Box Garden Beauty] was seamlessly connected, she did not seem to have any doubts about her predecessor, and naturally began to take over the investigation of the "Hidden Crisis" mission.

From this, it can be confirmed that [Hokeniwa Lizi] probably has the memories of [Real Lizi]. But conversely, [Real Lizi] does not have the memories of [Hokeniwa Lizi].

Perhaps this was done intentionally by the power of the fairyland? To avoid confusion of memory?

However, this is fine.

Angel was thinking about reminding [Hongarten Lizi] to continue investigating Xitianya and find out the hidden crisis. But now he didn't need to remind her, Lizi was already doing it.

Angel felt relieved and was about to look away when suddenly he thought of something.

"Lizzie, you should have Vera's contact information?"

The sudden voice in her ear made Lizzie dazed for two seconds. But soon, she came to her senses: "Is it Mr. Angel? I have Lady Vera's contact card."

Angel: "Well, please contact Vera for me and ask her if she knows about the hidden town in the underground district."

Hidden town?

Although Lizzie had her doubts, she would not refuse Angel's request.

Soon, she contacted Vera.

Three minutes later, Lizzie ended the call on the contact card and told Angel what she had learned.

"I see. Keep busy. I won't bother you for now."

Ingres withdrew his God's perspective and fell into deep thought.

Vera had indeed heard of the "Hidden Town" in the underground neighborhood, but she didn't know where the hidden town was.

Her original words were—

"In my opinion, the hidden town is just a false legend. It's like there are many small towns in the underground blocks, and people like to gild their own towns and add a mysterious aura."

It’s like, there’s a great magician living in seclusion in a certain town.

Or, according to legend, this town was founded by a certain old king, and there is a heritage left by the old king here... and so on.

These are basically fake and are marketing methods to attract outsiders to consume.

The same is true for Hidden Town.

As far as Vera knew, the hidden town was spread from Town 61, and it was said to be related to the first generation of pioneers of the underground block, and that the treasure of the first generation of pioneers was hidden inside.

The rumors are very detailed, but no one has ever found the hidden town.

After understanding the situation, not to mention Vera, Ingres also suspected that this was a false legend to gild himself.

Hot spots like "treasure, inheritance" are simply thrown out to stimulate the nerves of adventurers. When adventurers come, consumption will come.

However, although he also felt that the story of the hidden town was suspected of being fictional, since the random rumor was titled this, perhaps there was a hidden story behind it.

Thinking of this, Ingres decided to go to Sixty-one Town to take a look.

It just so happened that the Fashion Guild had a direct passage to Town Sixty-one. After Angel said hello to Lizzie, someone took him from the basement of the Fashion Guild directly into the underground block.

The place where we came out happened to be the central block of Sixty-first Town.

This also shows that the connection between the Fashion Guild and the underground block is actually very deep...

Although the Dark Round Table and the Fashion Guild are two separate organizations on the surface, under the coordination of the "Lord of Darkness", they can be regarded as one.

Previously it seemed like three companies were competing against each other, but in reality it was Prada Media fighting one against two.

Coupled with the death of Prada Media's old chairman, it is only natural that the company fell into a disadvantage.

The reason why it was not eaten immediately was because Vera was kind-hearted.

As Angel thought about this, he headed towards the "Pure White Church" mentioned in the rumors.

The Pure White Church sounds like it is related to religion, but it is actually a museum, it’s just called the “Pure White Church”.

It is taken from the story of a group of "white seekers" in the Modern City best-selling novel "The Wind and the White Sand".

The so-called "white seekers" are a group of people in the book who pursue and worship pure white. The buildings they live in, the clothes they wear, the jewelry they wear... and even the streets they walk on must be white. In their view, white is pure and flawless art. To outsiders, this is a group of fanatics who "seek white" to the extreme.

Therefore, some people in the book call those who seek white people people from the "Pure White Church".

The "Pure White Church" is a fictitious church in the book, but in reality, it is a museum.

There are various artworks related to the color white.

In a sense, it also fits the behavior of the group of white seekers in the novel, so the name "Pure White Church" is quite appropriate.

When Angel arrived at the Pure White Church, the first thing he saw was the pure white dome-shaped building.

The building's doors, windows, and fences were all painted white.

Even the people entering the museum to visit were dressed in pure white.

It doesn’t matter if you are not wearing white clothes. Someone at the door will give you a white gauze curtain and you can go in just covering your whole body.

Ingres did not do anything special. He used magic to change into a white coat and walked into the museum.

The interior of the museum is basically pure white.

Occasionally there are some variegated colors, but they are also painted with a white base.

There is nothing much to say about the decoration inside, which pursues "white" to the extreme. Other places are no different from other museums, with exhibition tables, glass cabinets, exhibits, written records, etc.

However, the exhibits here are mainly white.

"Rumor has it that the White Church has a clue..." Angel murmured in a low voice: "According to the usual predictability of rumors, this clue should be very obvious."

Ingres was in deep thought in the museum, searching for clues.

It wasn't long before he had toured the entire museum.

But he didn't find any clues related to the hidden town.

——At least not on the surface.

Ingres walked around the empty museum again and finally stopped in front of an oil painting.

This oil painting uses black, white and grey as the main colours to depict a pure white cottage under the sunlight.

The reason why he stopped here was because the name of this painting was: "White Town".

This is the only place in the museum that mentions the "town". Although Angell doesn't know whether the white town is the hidden town, this is the closest clue.

Ingres looked at the painting intently with his eyes sharp.

At first he thought there might be something special about the painting, perhaps the pigment, or a hidden secret, or maybe there were interlayers... But after Ingres's comprehensive observation, he confirmed that there was nothing unusual about the painting.

This made Ingres doubt himself. Could it be that the clue had nothing to do with "White Town"?
Logically speaking, the locations given in the rumors are all very promising clues... This can be confirmed from previous rumors.

How come I didn’t find anything after arriving at the place this time?
Could this be the special thing about “rumors on the pages of a book”?

"Are you interested in this painting, too?"

A slow sound of footsteps came from not far away and stopped beside Angel.

Angel looked sideways and saw a hunchbacked old man in a white sweater. His hair had turned gray, and he was wearing a soft felt fisherman's hat and leaning on a pure white cane.

"I am somewhat interested. I feel that this painting does not match the other works in the museum."

The old man glanced at Angel and said with a smile: "Young man, you have good taste."

"This painting is one that I recently bought at an auction. Although its artistic quality may not be as good as other works in the museum, it was painted by the first generation of pioneers and it is also his last work."

"The artist who painted this painting and the story behind it alone make it great. Its artistic quality is no longer that important."

"Of course, I understand that some people don't like the added value of celebrities. If you don't like this painting, you can look at other works in the museum."

After saying this, the old man turned around and left, leaning on his cane.

From his previous words, his identity has been revealed: the director of the White Church.

Ingres watched the old man go away silently. At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

"and many more."

The old man stopped and turned to look at Angel in confusion.

“Is this your last painting?”

"Yes."

"So this painting can also be considered a posthumous work?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "You can say that. It is said that this is also the favorite painting of the first generation of pioneers. It is hung in the most conspicuous position in the living room of the old house. Anyone who goes there can see it as soon as they open the door."

"But his descendants are not good people. They are addicted to gambling every day and have sold everything in the house."

“However, it was fate that allowed me to get this painting.”

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left in a very cool manner.

The word "posthumous work" popped up in Angel's mind... The flash of inspiration that had just occurred to him made him think of a possibility.

Before this, he and Benber had read countless items in search of extraordinary materials with strong emotions.

The majority of them are relics.

Because the relics are most likely to contain "strong emotions".

At this moment, when Ingres thought of the "posthumous work", he unconsciously thought of the situation in the Treasure Zodiac.

Could it be that the clues are actually hidden deep in the emotions?
Angel thought of this and snapped his fingers lightly, and a retro slap radio appeared in his hand.

It is the space-time radio - Hertz.

Then, Ingres set up a soundproof and image-isolating illusion around him.

After doing all this, Angel gave orders to Hertz.

"Hertz, search for signals within thirty meters with me as the center."

Hertz was originally lying motionless in Angel's palm, like a stupid child. But when Angel gave the order, it changed its stupid state and showed a professional look.

It floated slowly into the air, making a "beeping" sound.

Then, the wave frequency that could not be captured by the naked eye turned into circles of ripples and spread out in all directions.

All objects touched by the ripples emitted some strange signal. This signal was invisible and traceless, and only Hertz could read it.

When these signals turned into information flows and merged into Hertz's body, the text column began to refresh the text rapidly.

"Searching... eliminating useless signals..."

"Searching..."

"Search completed. No communication signals, electromagnetic wave signals or sound wave signals within the specific frequency range were found..."

"A suspected space-time signal source has been found. Please click to view."

Angle click to view.

“Oil painting ‘White Town’: This object carries the strong emotions of its user.”

When he saw the source of this space-time signal, surprise flashed in Angel's eyes: It really exists?!
Ingres suppressed his inner emotions and continued to order Hertz: "Resonate with this painting."

Hertz made a familiar beeping sound, the speaker grille began to vibrate, and two conversations came out of thin air from the painting...

"Dad, why did you draw the same picture again?"

This is a childish voice.

There was also the rustling sound of the brush hitting the paper in the air.

"Because this painting cannot be shown to others, I can only draw another one." The slightly old voice sighed, "What a pity, my painting skills are too poor, even if I copy it, I can't copy any of the mystery."

"Why can't this painting be shown to others?" the childish voice asked again.

"Because this painting shows the resting place of my old friend. If it is shown to others, outsiders will disturb it."

“Can you sleep in a painting?”

"Of course, if one day my portrait is hung at home and I am not at home, it means that I am also sleeping in the painting..."
