I studied beheading in a mental institution

The knight took out the positioning device from his pocket, turned around, and finally landed on the side post of the torii. A palm-sized pixel wind signal transmitter was quietly attached to it, and the indicator flickered slightly. Light.

The knight removed the signal transmitter, his eyebrows full of doubts.

"What's the matter?" Wu Xiangnan walked to his side, saw the device in his palm, and asked, "Is this the signal launcher of 'Paratrooper'?"

"That's right..."

The knight said hesitantly, "However, since the signal transmitter has been installed, it stands to reason that the 'paratroopers' will be here waiting for us to rendezvous..."

"But there's no one around here." Wu Xiangnan continued. He squatted down and carefully observed the bluestone slabs under his feet. "And there were no signs of fighting or chasing... Did he leave by himself?"

"No, it's impossible for the 'paratrooper' to leave at such a critical time. Without him leading the way, we would need to spend a lot of time and energy to find out the form of the 'circle of people', and there is a risk of exposure. He couldn't just leave us like that."

"You mean... something happened to the 'paratroopers'?"

The knight didn't speak. He stared quietly at the signal launch equipment in his hand. After an unknown period of time, he looked up at the bluestone road ahead.

"Let's look around here first to see if there are any other clues."

The three of them walked straight forward along this bluestone road, and the dark gray walls seemed endless. The further they walked, the deeper the grayness on the walls, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

This strange change could not escape the perception of Jia Lan and the others. Wu Xiangnan stopped in his tracks. He frowned and looked at the surrounding walls, "There is something wrong here..."

Jia Lan raised his head, sniffed the air, and unconsciously clenched the black box in his hand.

"It's the breath of 'mystery'." Jia Lan said firmly, "It's very strong, and there's more than one, but...the smell doesn't seem to be the same as the general 'mystery'?"

In the past two years of drifting life, the number of "mysteries" that Jialan has fought has reached astronomical figures. Even with just a wisp of smell in the air, she can keenly perceive the existence of "mysteries", the general direction, and even It is the strength of strength.

"No?" The puzzlement in the knight's eyes deepened, "The 'circle of man' was created by the gods, how could there be 'mysteries'? These things simply cannot enter the 'circle of man'...

Isn't this the 'circle of people'? "

After hesitating for a moment, the knight stretched out his hand and shook it in the air. A mass of snow-white waves rolled between his palms, and his brows suddenly frowned.

"The Forbidden Ruins can be used normally. Is this really not a 'circle of people'?" He thought for a moment, and thought of a possibility, "I see, we are still in the 'gap'."

"Still in the 'gap'?" Jia Lan asked suspiciously, "Didn't we just pass through the 'gap'?"

"The size of the gap in each 'circle of people' is different. Generally speaking, the larger the size of a 'circle of people', the larger the 'gap' may be. If the space we are in is really Japanese If there is a gap in the 'circle of people'... then the size of this 'circle of people' should be of a terrifying magnitude!"

The knight continued solemnly, "So far, the largest 'human circle' we have seen is the Sphinx Kingdom in Egypt, where nearly ten million people are kept in captivity. Judging from the scale of this 'gap' , its 'circle of people' might be bigger than Egypt.

If this is the case, then the "circle of people" we are in may be the largest and most insane "circle of people" in the world at present. "

Hearing these words, both Jia Lan and Wu Xiangnan fell silent.

Jialan couldn't help feeling worried.

Such a dangerous place... Qiye and the others will not have an accident, will they?

Jia Lan's hand holding the black box was even tighter, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, and she walked quickly along the bluestone road, her dark blue Han robe fluttered in the wind, her black hair was tied with a red rope, and she followed Her steps faltered slightly.

Feeling the change in Jialan's temperament, Wu Xiangnan and the knight looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

What's wrong with this girl...

Ignoring the gradually decreasing temperature around her and the creeping cold atmosphere, Jialan walked directly to the end of the long bluestone road. The dark gray walls came to an abrupt end, and what appeared before her was a vast ruins of a shrine .

On this site, there are dark stone statues one after another. Most of these stone statues are grotesque. There are long-haired women with two mouths, short and ugly boys with green lotus leaves on their heads, and strange monsters with a horn on top of their heads. Boy, there is a graceful girl with long light blue hair...

The bodies of these stone statues are covered with cracks and moss, and they are scattered on the ruins. Their expressions are stiff and strange, and their movements are very uncoordinated. Putting these stone statues together in front of them makes people shudder inexplicably.

"Stone statue?" The knight followed Jialan to the ruins, looked around, licked his lips, as if he couldn't hold back the instinct to blow up the shrine that was engraved in the bones of the evil society, "it's this shrine Is it a god to worship?"

"No." Wu Xiangnan walked up to one of the stone statues of the boy, observed carefully for a while, and his expression suddenly changed, "These are not statues of gods...these are statues of demons."

He stood up with a very gloomy face, "From the outside, this stone statue looks like the Zashiki boy in the legend of Japanese monsters. The light blue long-haired girl next to him should be a snow girl, and the boy behind him should be a kappa...

This shrine does not enshrine Japanese gods at all, but Japanese demons. "

"A shrine dedicated to demons?" The knight was puzzled, "How could such a thing exist? Who made these stone statues?"

"Nobody made it."

Standing in front of the Snow Maiden statue, Jia Lan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "The 'mysterious' breath I just smelled came from here, they are not stone statues...they are the 'mysterious' atmosphere in Japan that was petrified and trapped here. '!

They... are alive. "

As the night watchman believes, most of the "mysteries" come from legends and unofficial histories from all over the world, and these stone statues in front of us are the representations of local Japanese legends.

"Live?"

Hearing these words, the expressions of Wu Xiangnan and the knight changed at the same time.

Things seem to be different from what they imagined.

This is the gap leading to the "circle of people", but there is a shrine dedicated to demons, and all the stone statues of demons are alive... This matter itself is extremely strange, even for experienced knights in the mist , also began to feel a little confused.

Here... what exactly is this place?
