God Killer: Star Weaver

"Welcome back."

In the attic, Qinghe was sitting by the window looking at the night sky outside the window, holding an exquisite writing brush, writing something at his desk. Hearing the commotion, he turned around and saw Ling Chen who opened the door and his face was much rosier than the previous few days. He was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his face, he slowly stood up and saluted.

Ling Chen yawned, put his spear on the pillar, smiled and imitated Qing He, and also bowed.

Seeing this, Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

Seeing Qing He who was much more cheerful than the previous few days, Ling Chen felt a little warm in his heart. He immediately walked to her side, pushed her back into the chair, looked at the complex symbols written by the person in front of him, frowned, and then He asked with a slight smile:

"Great scholar, what major discoveries have you made tonight?"

Although the keen Ling Chen could not understand the meaning of these symbols, Qinghe's handwriting tonight was obviously somewhat different. In the past, the handwriting was serious and elegant, as regular as a sculpture. Tonight, it seemed that the writing was a little hasty, and some places were even scrawled and altered, and some were directly dripped with a large ball of ink, drawing very strange patterns.

"Yeah." Hearing this, Qinghe's smile faded and he nodded a little heavily.

"Tell me about it." When Ling Chen saw this, her expression was indeed a bit strange.

"Ling Chen, look out the window."

Qinghe nodded, then pointed his jade finger out the window. Ling Chen also looked at the night sky in the direction she pointed.

The night sky is as calm as ever, and the stars form a bright and wide Milky Way, dividing the night sky into two pieces, which is extremely fascinating.

"I like the night sky very much, so I became a stargazer. In my opinion, the twinkling stars are like singing elves, and in conjunction with the two moons, the entire night sky seems to be dancing a beautiful and harmonious song. Dancing."

"It's beautiful. Is there anything wrong?" Ling Chen looked at the night sky blankly and asked with some doubts. Qinghe pointed it out to him alone, probably not just to admire it.

"Look, those two round golden-white celestial bodies are called moons." Qinghe shook his head slightly and said.

Hearing this, Ling Chen slightly shifted his gaze again and glanced at the two bright moons. There was not a single star under the moon's range.

"They are called moons... Is there any problem?" Ling Chen looked at the two bright moons in ecstasy and asked immediately. Although he had not observed it specifically before, the two moons had been hanging in the night like this from beginning to end, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Qinghe nodded and raised a piece of paper on the table full of symbols. The moonlight passed through the paper, and the symbols written on it seemed to be glowing faintly: "I have been observing the night sky every day for these years. Recording the trajectories of these celestial bodies..."

"But look here." Qinghe picked up the brush and lightly drew a circle on a complex pattern: "This."

"What do you mean?" Ling Chen asked.

"I read some books, and they talked about the scene of the sun and the moon returning together. The ancient Human Race stargazers observed the Celestial Phenomenon at night, and they found that the moon and the sun would return to their original positions every cycle. The ancient Human Race put this It's called the Return Day." Qinghe took a breath and said slowly: "Tonight is the Return Day, and the moon has indeed returned to its original place, but..."

"But what?" Ling Chen frowned.

"In order to facilitate observation, I drew a star map." Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said: "However, if there were always two moons, there should not be such a stable return day...or it wouldn't be like this law."

"Are you saying that the movement trajectories of those two moons are too normal?" Ling Chen thought for a moment and asked.

Qinghe nodded, then took out two pieces of paper, with more complex patterns drawn on them, and said:

"I find irregularities by comparing the positions of stars on a star chart. For example, if the position of some stars suddenly changes, it may be due to the influence of the moon, and if this influence suddenly disappears or changes, it may indicate that there is only one The real moon."

"..." Ling Chen was silent, obviously Qinghe's knowledge was still a bit difficult for him to understand.

"Lingchen, whenever night comes, I will talk to the stars and predict the secrets of the sky through their positions and lights relative to each other."

Qinghe glanced at the stunned Ling Chen and smiled. Then she pointed to the night sky and continued:

"And tonight I discovered that there are some contradictions in this dance in the night sky. The real moon would rotate with the stars, and it would have its own lights and shadows, covering or revealing them. However, I found that one of the bright moons seemed to have nothing to do with the stars. , the starlight passes through it without leaving any trace, just like a shadow passing through the water, it is very unreal. "

Qinghe paused, and after confirming that Ling Chen's attention was entirely on her words, she took a deep breath and elaborated on her conjecture:

"If there really was only one bright moon hanging in the night sky, the dance of the stars would not be so chaotic. I suspect there is something different here. The so-called second moon may not be a natural thing in the world, but some kind of illusion, or Or a reflection of a deeper secret."

"So what do you mean?" Ling Chen looked at the pattern, nodded in understanding, and asked.

"The dance at night is indeed harmonious. But there is a dancer who is not real." Qinghe crossed out a circle and said: "Suppose... there is only one moon in the sky... then everything makes sense."

"Ah?" Ling Chen was startled and suddenly looked at the sky outside the window: "You mean, one of those two things...the moon is fake? Who has such great ability?"

"Yeah, but that's just my inference." Qinghe smiled.

"..." Ling Chen nodded, thinking about something, and then said softly: "If you say so..."

"I believe that it only took me a few years to discover this situation. There must be more powerful stargazers in the continent of Eselanda than me." Qinghe said: "If they discover this matter, they will definitely write In books, spread across the continent.”

"But before I came, I followed my grandfather to check out a lot of books in the college's library. There were very few books on stargazing, and there was no mention of this phenomenon. These books basically talked about stars and the power of star weaving. Yes, it’s all about the moon.”

"So, there are several possibilities." Ling Chen reacted quickly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The first is indeed there, but the college found out that these books were not introduced. The second is..."

"The night sky outside is different from that on the uninhabited island." Qinghe took over the conversation and said.

"Which possibility is more likely?" Ling Chen asked.

"If my inference is not wrong..." Qinghe's face was a little solemn and he said: "If it is the first type, the college must have discovered this situation, and there should not be any news for so many years. So I think that the second type It’s not impossible…”

"There may be a being hidden in the uninhabited island that is more powerful than the people on the entire island. I don't know what level of Star Weaver can change the Celestial Phenomenon... and I have no way of knowing its purpose." Qinghe said slowly.

Ling Chen took a breath of cold air. If it was the latter, this existence had the ability to change the celestial body. He couldn't understand what terrifying level this could reach. Then he made a fist with his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Maybe it's not the Star Weaver? It could also be the Shadow Realm Beast!"

Hearing this, Qing He was slightly startled and nodded: "Are those products of the void? I don't rule out this possibility. But as far as I know, the strength of the shadow domain beast should not reach this level, unless..."

"You mean, there is something more powerful than the shadow beast in the void?!" Hearing this, Ling Chen's eyes were cold.

"Don't worry Ling Chen, just listen to what I have to say." Seeing Ling Chen's nervous look, Qing He shook his head and gently stroked the former's cheek with his jade hand: "I heard from grandpa that the name of the beast in the Shadow Realm is It comes from the Shadow Realm, which is a relatively shallow realm in the void... Even our academy can handle it, and they don’t have much wisdom, so they shouldn’t be able to do this kind of thing.”

"Void Realm..." Ling Chen repeated slowly, not caring about the coldness on his face.

"Yeah." Qing He nodded and smiled: "So I think it is unlikely. The ancient void disaster caused the entire continent to be extremely afraid of the void. If the product of the realm above the shadow really comes, I’m afraid our college will not be so quiet for so many years.”

"It makes sense." Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded slightly and his expression softened. Then he flashed and sat on the big bed: "It seems that if it weren't for the spontaneous phenomenon in the sky, then there really would be hidden dragons and crouching tigers on this island... It created a fake moon. What is the purpose of doing this?"

"I believe you will get the answer one day." Qinghe smiled slightly and said.

"Oh." Ling Chen nodded and smiled bitterly. Now he is still struggling on the Rank One Late Stage. If he really faced this kind of existence, he might not even be qualified to stand in front of it.

"You are really amazing. You can sit in a room all the time and use a pen to find out things that the academy probably doesn't even know about." Ling was not thinking about what the so-called "phantom realm" was. Chen slowly lay down, put his hands behind his head, turned his head and praised Qinghe.

"You also know, it's just an inference..." Qinghe also came to the bedside, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "This is just an instinctive job for me as a scholar."

…

Late at night, when Ling Chen was about to fall asleep, Qing He's whispers sounded softly in his ears.

"Ling Chen, even the academy probably doesn't know about this discovery. I hope you can keep it in mind. When you have enough strength and want to do something one day, it might be helpful to you."

Dimly, Ling Chen nodded.

"scholar…"

Ling Chen closed his eyes and muttered softly. For the first time in his life, he saw the power of a scholar.

She endured the long torture and loneliness, and with only a pair of eyes and a pen, she deduced the strange phenomena in the sky, and further deduced the terrifying existence that might exist on the uninhabited island.
