The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

"Mr. Phantom, I'm going to tell you!" Emil said, "It's not that I like painting, it's just that I copied some paintings in reality recently.

"It's something you do every day, so you have to let yourself have some fun too, don't you?"

He seemed quite pleased with what he said, so he gave a rather reserved but genuine smile.

Mr. Ghost was also a little amused by the boy's old-fashioned statement.He asked, "Are you copying paintings recently?"

"Yes. It's what I told you before, about the fact that my grandfather asked me to paint." At this point, Emil showed a distressed expression. He reached out and scratched his hair, and wiped a piece of oil paint inadvertently to his own face.

He only discovered this when reminded by Mr. Ghost.He casually reached out and wiped his face, and in the dream he returned to his neat appearance.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The dream is really convenient. In reality, I often get the paint on my face or hands, but it is difficult to wash it off."

He complained in a practiced tone, as if this complaint had happened many times in the past.This seems to mean that Emile has indeed been painting for some time in the past.

Mr. Phantom listened quietly to Emil's complaints, and said, "However, you seem to be used to this."

"Yes." Emil shrugged, "In the past period of time, I copied a lot of paintings. It will definitely be like this."

"How many pictures?"

"About... thirteen paintings?" Emil scratched his hair, "It should be."

Mr. Ghost's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked, "Are all the paintings requested by your grandfather?"

"Yes, but my grandfather only listened to other people's requests." Emile said, "that is the bet he made... They seem to have finally discovered that forcing a teenager to create new paintings is difficult.

"After all, I'm not as talented as Leon Gilbert, so they finally decided to let me copy other paintings, anyway, this is enough to test my level.

"They told my grandfather that they wanted me to copy a few paintings. At first my grandfather felt that the quantity was too much, so he bargained with them. But I finished it very well."

Emil showed a shy but proud expression.It looked like he was happy to help the family.

…After resolving the family conflict, Emil was not so resistant to painting.

He had originally been only upset that Alden Bridges had forced him to learn to paint, but now that he felt he could "help" too, the resistance vanished in an instant.

However, this "favor" he helped gave Mr. Phantom a bad feeling.

"Did you paint at home?" asked Mr. Ghost.

"No, it's not." Emil shook his head, "I went to that museum again."

Mr. Ghost frowned slightly.

"You once reminded me not to go to that museum again." Emile said a little distressed, "but I didn't know what happened that day.

"Grandpa just asked me to go out with him, I thought we were just going to have dinner somewhere... But, he just took me to the museum. I didn't have time to say no... Sorry, Mr. Ghost. I failed to follow your advice."

"It's not your fault, Emil." Mr. Ghost considered his words, "Is that museum still on Comstock Street?"

Emil's eyes widened, as if suddenly stuck.He was stunned.

Mr. Phantom was keenly aware of subtle changes in the surrounding dreams, as if there was a slight ripple, rippling and fluctuating, and at the same time unconsciously affecting their sanity.

Mr. Ghost looked at Emil calmly.

Emil just maintained that dazed look for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes. The carriage took us directly to the entrance of that museum... Yes, that's it. Then we pushed the door and walked in. "

...The situation is probably not as simple as what Emil said.

But Mr. Phantom didn't ask further questions for the time being, he just said: "So, you have been staying there for a while?" He looked at the surrounding environment, "It's like a dream-like picture, copied in the long corridor Paintings?"

Emil seemed lost in thought again, before he said: "... yes, almost... sometimes I go away for a while... sometimes I stay there for a few days. Grandpa sometimes picks me up... and then , When I finish copying everything, I will go home."

... There seemed to be some problems with Emil's memory of the past few days.thought Mr. Ghost.

Emir's current performance is like being severely polluted and then slowly recovering.

In reality, Professor Siles Noel, once tested the ritual of "self-reincarnation" at the Historical Society, and observed that some deeply polluted revelators would behave similarly during the recovery process.

It was a state similar to amnesia and trance.

When people use the ritual of "self-reappearance" to gradually get closer to their past selves, they will gradually forget their memories and actions during the time they were polluted and feel strange.It was like a self-protection mechanism.

The human soul wants to forget the hurt it has suffered.

After the initial forgetting, they then replace the old, polluted memories with brand new ones.

...In a way, it would be like replacing "Temiafa and Brancani with Erkoo" with "Temiafa and Atkinia had a meal together".

That's masking the horrific, crazy stuff with seemingly normal descriptions.

If the Emir really copied some paintings in the past (obviously it cannot be normal paintings), then it is quite normal for him to be polluted.

But how did he get rid of these pollutions?

Thinking of this, Mr. Phantom asked: "When you were in the museum, what else would you do besides copying paintings?"

"It's normal... eat, sleep, and then play with those toys." Emil said honestly, "I was in a hurry in the past. I only brought a Rubik's Cube with me. Occasionally when I got tired of drawing, I would play for a while. ,relax for a moment."

"Is that your favorite Rubik's Cube?"

Emil has bought many Rubik's Cubes from Geisha, but his favorite is always the one he bought for the first time.He himself said that he finally bought it after saving pocket money for a long time.

Emil's eyes lit up slightly, he nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he reproduced the Rubik's Cube in his dream, and touched it fondly.

Mr. Ghost couldn't help squinting his eyes.He thought he seemed to know what was going on.

He asked one last question to confirm his thoughts: "How was the food at the museum?"

"Not very good." Emil said without hesitation, "Of course I still like the food at home. Besides, they always prepare me a drink with a strange taste. Although I feel refreshed after drinking it , but still... it feels weird."

Emile showed a displeased expression.

...Looks like it's a potion.thought Mr. Ghost.

Emil has not experienced a systematic Revelator course, and he only has a half-knowledge of the power of the Revelator.So he probably didn't realize that he was taking the potion and performing the revealer's ritual.

The Shadow Believers asked Emil to paint, obviously having their own ideas and purposes.This kind of copying happened during the ritual time, and it is obviously ulterior motives... Maybe it is to let Emil better reproduce the true meaning of the painting?

However, Emil's behavior of playing Rubik's Cube during the ritual time fits with his countless similar behaviors in the past.Unknowingly, he performed the ritual of "self-reappearance" and eliminated the pollution he received during the copying process.

It is precisely because of this that despite some sequelae, he is still considered normal now.If he can maintain his current state and cooperate with the "self-returning" ritual, he may be able to completely return to normal—if the Rubik's Cube never leaves his hands.

Simply put, this is still a good result.

Mr. Ghost secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring a Rubik's Cube? To pass the time?"

"Actually, I forgot." Emil scratched her hair a little embarrassedly. "Grandpa urged me anxiously, so I didn't expect to bring the Rubik's Cube. It was my mother who reminded me that I might be bored... ...ask me to bring a Rubik's Cube.

"She also said I could take other toys, but I was too embarrassed to do that. I thought Grandpa wanted me to go somewhere with him, something formal...so I just took a Rubik's Cube.

"Thanks to my mother's reminder, otherwise I would really be bored in that museum."

Mr. Ghost listened in silence.He thought, Emil's mother knew what Emil was going to do, so she deliberately reminded her?

For Emil, the Rubik's Cube is the time when his life is at stake.If he hadn't brought the Rubik's Cube with him, he might not even have walked out of that museum.

...A detail hidden in Emir's words is that although he said that he did not stay in the museum all the time, he vaguely expressed the message that "I have only one Rubik's Cube to play from the beginning to the end".

If he did go home halfway, then how could he only have "one" Rubik's Cube?If he goes to the museum for the second or even third time, he must know what he is going to do, and he will definitely prepare more fun and time-killing toys in advance.

...So, Emil was actually locked in that museum, but his vague memory made him think that he had left the museum.

What happened?thought Mr. Ghost.Why did Alden Bridges seem to have a sudden change of attitude?How could he be willing to do such a cruel thing to Emil?

And Emil's mother is even helping the tyrant.

The Shadow Believers are probably secretly threatening them.The effect of this threat is so useful.

…just because of the death of Jeremy Forbes?

Mr. Ghost thought to himself.

On Friday he wrote a letter to the old painter, Alden Bridges, which has not yet been answered.But he hopes he can receive it as soon as possible.

"By the way, Mr. Phantom." Emil seemed to suddenly remember something, "Haven't you always been very interested in that museum? When I passed this time, I overheard what other people called this museum."

Mr. Phantom came back to his senses and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Menethil." Emil said with certainty, "They secretly called this museum, 'Menethil Museum'."

Menethil Museum?

Mr. Phantom couldn't help being taken aback.

He has indeed never heard of this name, but this combination will remind him of other old gods' paradise.

For example, Kanyo Farm, Tau Cemetery, Moshache Hills, Gochi Island, Belan Temple, Brotherhood of Yasi... These are all the old gods paradise he knows, without exception, they all have a certain name Plus a location match.

According to his knowledge of Canyo Farm, "Canyo" is the ranch where the little girl Cynthia in the story was born.Akamala probably named his home after Cynthia's home because he liked the story created by the believers very much.

By analogy, the names of other paradises of the old gods may also have similar origins or reasons.

These things can be difficult to verify.It was because he came into contact with Akamala's power that he learned about Kanyo Farm and paid special attention to Cynthia's story.

However, Atkinya may be an exception.Because most of his believers are related to the field of art, "Menethil" may also point to a well-known artist in history, or a famous work of art.

...Of course, the premise of everything is that he really thinks that this "museum" is related to Atkinya.

Mr. Phantom thought for a while, and felt that this matter might be a good argument.He also considered whether it was necessary to ask for more information from the emir, but he knew that this meant a certain risk, because the emir was still polluted after all.

So, he turned to ask a question inadvertently: "So, in this Menethil Museum, what works have you copied?"

This question directly determines the extent to which the emir is polluted.

Emil thought for a while, then looked at the wall of the corridor in the dream.He seemed to want to reproduce those paintings directly in the dream, but he thought hard for a long time, and it seemed that he couldn't remember clearly.

He said: "I'm sorry, I don't remember much... There are thirteen paintings... I'm not sure, but it seems to point to thirteen old gods... I remember flowers, I remember rivers.

"I remember the darkness, I remember the smell of meat, I remember the long journey, I remember the exhaustion of the body... I remember the ripples of the stars, I remember the colorful patches, I remember the vastness of the ocean...

"I remember the revelry of the banquet, I remember the escape of the criminals, I remember...the paintings themselves. Yes, I remember them all. But...Mr. Ghost, I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly what those thirteen paintings looked like.

"...Those days seem to be very, very far away."

Emil murmured like this, as if he didn't even realize what he was talking about.After a while, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and said a little surprised: "Oh, did I tell you?"

"...I've already said it." Mr. Ghost said, he thought about it, and then asked, "Do you still play Rubik's Cube at home recently?"

"Yes." Emil nodded, and he said a little blankly, "Besides, every time I play the Rubik's Cube, my mother will bring me a cup of strange-tasting, blue-coloured drink."

"How do you like the taste?"

Emile smacked his lips unconsciously, and said, "It's not very tasty, but it's not bad. But my mother and grandpa seem to want me to drink it, so I have to listen to them."

For a moment, Mr. Ghost didn't even know what to say.

He always wanted young children to stay away from those... horrible, crazy shadows and pollution.However, none of the children he met seemed to be spared.

Perhaps that is just the inevitable harm that this world brings to them.Maybe they are just exposed to these things a little earlier than adults.

...However, Mr. Phantom still hopes that this kind of thing will not happen again, and will not continue to happen again.

He sighed secretly, and then said to Emil: "Maybe they prepared it for you."

Emil tilted his head, feeling a little confused, but he didn't question the statement.He just said: "Anyway, I helped Grandpa complete his bet!"

"You did a good job." Mr. Ghost said somewhat against his will, but he still said sincerely, "Your family will be proud of you."

Emil scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help laughing again: "...However, what I don't know is what they will use the paintings I copied. Maybe they just put them at home Collect it? But it’s just a painting I copied.”

"Maybe they just want to see your talents and abilities."

Emile said a little unhappy: "But I don't intend to keep painting. I only went to that museum to help grandpa."

Mr. Phantom hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Emil's shoulder lightly. He smiled and said, "Tell your grandpa and your mother about your thoughts, and they will consider your wishes." At the moment they With such guilt.

Emily nodded seriously.

He chatted with Mr. Ghost again about his recent life.He didn't go to school recently, because he had to finish copying paintings, so he took a long vacation.Recently he is studying at home.

"I originally hoped that the tutor would help me." Emil said unhappily, "But what did my grandfather say, I can't tell anyone what I did before, and I can't let others know what I did... Really, it's so mysterious."

... No wonder Jules didn't know about it.thought Mr. Ghost.I am afraid that the Bridges family sent Jules away with other legitimate reasons, so that Emil had enough time to go to the museum to complete his "work".

Emil is a child after all, attached to his family, his elders.People will not, and do not have the position, to ask about a child's whereabouts and whereabouts. People always think that the child's elders will arrange everything.

But in fact, people should have realized that just as they themselves are bound by many things, the parents and elders of the children will never lose this kind of trouble because of the existence of the child.

"...I'm sorry, Emil," said Mr. Ghost suddenly.

Emile opened his eyes wide and said curiously: "Do you have anything else to do? It's okay, I'll just play in my dream for a while. Of course, it would be great if you have some new toys. "

Mr. Phantom couldn't help but smile, and that heavy emotion disappeared for a short while.

He didn't have any new toys for the time being, so he had to say sorry to Emil again.Emile again generously said it was all right.They say goodbye to each other.

"...By the way, Emil, do you have any plans for next Friday and Saturday?" Before leaving, Mr. Phantom couldn't help asking when he thought about this matter.

Emil thought for a while and said, "There are no arrangements. I should be staying at home. Both grandpa and mother think that I am very tired and should rest at home, but in fact I have nothing to do!"

Mr. Phantom also smiled, and said, "Maybe you can trust your grandpa and your mother on this matter."

Emil seemed to protest, but in the end he murmured, "I know!"

Mr. Ghost leaves Emile's dream.He glanced at the dream bubbles of Heard and Alfonso, feeling slightly tired.

He couldn't help but sighed, and didn't care about the contents of these two dream bubbles for the time being—the time in the dream is frozen anyway—he first touched Qinduo's dream bubble, planning to go there to rest for a while, and find Think about it in a clean place.

... He had to say that the old mansion of the Praia family actually had that old, secluded, and silent aura.The ancient atmosphere permeated in every piece of wood can quiet his soul.

Of course, he knew that Qin Duo didn't like it very much.Unless he is there.

The moment he saw Mr. Ghost, Qin Duo's originally calm and cold face showed a soft smile for an instant.

"You're here," Cinder said, "Looks like a busy day?"

"Five... no, six dreams." Mr. Ghost said, "I just solved two-thirds of it."

Qin Duo walked over and hugged him, and said with a low smile, "Sneak in?"

Mr. Ghost tilted his head and kissed his lips, and said, "Sneak in while you're busy."

They hugged quietly for a while, and then Mr. Ghost slowly told Qindo all the information he had gained before.From Garrett, to Garland and Nanisar, to Emile, the information really fills in the picture of truth.

Qin Duo's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Shadow believers asked Emil to copy paintings?"

"Yes, Qindo." Mr. Ghost said in a low voice, "They obviously have their own purpose."

Qin Duo thought for a while, then he looked at Mr. Ghost, and said slyly: "You must have guessed it, tell me quickly, please."

Mr. Ghost laughed, and he prompted, "Think about the Grayson incident?"

"What happened to the Grayson incident?" Qindo asked suspiciously, "That was all a year ago...that painting?"

Mr. Ghost nodded.

Qin Duo was not directly involved in the Grayson incident, and a lot of information was only heard later.He thought carefully for a while, but still shook his head, and said, "Don't embarrass my memory."

Mr. Ghost said, "Remember Clarence Dwight's research project?"

"What?" Qin Duo subconsciously said, and then he remembered, "Copy the time track?"

Clarence Dwight has participated in many projects in the Historical Society, including sealed items, replicating the time track, and recreating the ritual of "believers praying to the gods for power".

In the case of Grayson, Boleyn Elgar and Clarence Dwight needed to use the painting that contained Houddoka's powers to transform something rotten into delicious food.

However, it is impossible for a single painting to support the operation of an entire factory.They need more paintings.

Therefore, Clarence Dwight led a topic of "replicating time tracks".

Although on the side of the Historical Society, the result of this project was nothing, and did not come up with "too reasonable results", but their subsequent investigation results showed that Clarence was actually successful at that time, at least half of it.

The result of his research is that for those time tracks that are "created by people", such as paintings, texts, etc., if people do not resist the pollution carried by time tracks at all, but actively accept the invasion of pollution, then they can way to replicate a nearly similar time track.

...It's as if the human soul has become an ink pad, which can transfer the power of one time track to another time track.

Emir's copying behavior in the Menethil Museum is obviously in line with the relevant description of this topic, as well as what Clarence and the others did at that time.

In other words, Emil "copied" the power of those paintings without realizing it.

"But... can Emil really do it?" Qin Duo doubted this.

The painting that the shadow believer asked Emil to copy must not be a simple thing.It is very likely that it was collected in Atkinya's paradise, or collected by the shadow believers, about the paintings of the thirteen old gods.

In other words, those paintings are likely to contain the power of the gods.

With the power of a young boy like Emil, can he really complete all the paintings in peace?

"...On the one hand, he didn't actually know what painting he was copying. 'Ignorance' became his protection." Mr. Phantom whispered, "On the other hand...remember? I switched painter Leon's That last painting."

Mr. Ghost doesn't actually know what the painting actually depicts.He didn't look, thinking he didn't need to risk it.

However, just now Emil mentioned "Ripples of the Stars", which actually sounds like the description of the last painting of the painter Leon.

In any case, since the Shadow Believers have worked so hard to exchange this painting by the painter Leon from the Grant Family through the Fillmore Family, they must value this painting very much and regard it as a part of their plan. part.

Therefore, it is quite possible that this painting will appear among the thirteen paintings copied by Emil.

Of course, the shadow believers probably don't know that this painting has been dropped by Mr. Ghost in advance.

... This painting, in essence, embodies the power of Akamala.

As for Emil, as a boy who has had close contact with the Rubik's Cube transformed by the power of the dream, and can freely enter and exit the dream, he is of course very compatible with Akamala's power.

He can even be said to be more familiar with the essence of this painting than anyone in the world (except Mr. Ghost and Qindo). Although he may not be able to realize it, his spirituality, his soul, may This has been discovered virtually.

Rather, he can almost be regarded as a "believer of Akamala", but he himself does not have this self-knowledge, and Mr. Phantom does not think so.

But in any case, he does have a considerable connection with the power of dreams.

...And the power of dreams—more precisely, the power of illusion—is the source of Atkinya's power.

"Illusory Disciples Tracing Paintings in the Paradise of Art".This doesn't sound dangerous at all.

Qin Duo listened to Mr. Phantom's speculation and thinking, thought for a while, and felt a burst of irony: "So, if it is someone else, there is a high probability that something will happen. But it is Emil, so the result is not so cruel. This It was really a mistake.”

However, Mr. Phantom still commented very objectively: "It's not necessarily a mistake." He paused, "Shadow believers also need to find people who are capable enough to do all of this, and at the same time have enough painting skills."

"...They chose Emil specially?" Qin Duo said.

"Emile knows the connection between Mr. Ghost and Siles Noel." Mr. Ghost said, "And the rumors about 'Mr. Ghost in the dream' have always been circulating in the land of no embers."

That was something he himself had voluntarily mentioned during an evening fireside chat.

On the whole, if the shadow believers are indeed investigating "Siles Noel", then it is only a matter of time before they investigate the existence of Mr. Ghost.

"The Rubik's Cube that inexplicably appeared in Emil's hand." Mr. Ghost said, "Alden Bridges may have noticed it before, but he didn't ask Emil carefully.

"And this Rubik's Cube, obviously, is related to Geisha."

Geisha Grocery Store is of course also related to Siles Noel.

Mr. Phantom thought for a moment, and then said: "I think they chose Emil for two reasons: First, the Bridges family pretended to be followers of Atkinya, except for Alden himself. , no one knows the truth, they are well disguised.

"So, the shadow believers probably think that Atkinya's status as a believer will help in this matter.

"Secondly, they found out that the Emil was related to me - related to Sirius Noel and Mr. Ghost. Even, they may have tested the Emil, but the Emil did not find out.

"For example, inadvertently mentioning the rumor of Mr. Ghost in front of him; another example, mentioning Geisha's new toy. Emir himself will not notice the change in his expression, but the shadow believer will definitely notice.

"...Even, the Shadow Believer might have tempted him through Alden Bridges or Emil's mother, so Emil was even more unguarded.

"Shadow believers may not know that 'Siles Noel' and 'Mr. Ghost' are the same person, but they can guess that there must be some kind of relationship between these two people.

"They don't necessarily know that the painting has been replaced, and they don't necessarily know that the power of illusion is the source of Atkinya's power—of course, it's not surprising if they know this, after all, the 'Shadow' must know the truth.

"In short, they are likely to be inclined to think that the emir might be able to help them.

"Perhaps Emil was just one of the people they chose, just because of the relationship of the Bridges family and my existence, but Emil did succeed.

"...Perhaps, the reason why the shadow believers have remained silent for the past two months is to wait for this success."

Emil did successfully copy the "Thirteen Paintings".

Qin Duo listened thoughtfully, and he felt a little confused: "But, why did the shadow believers come to trace these paintings?"

"Remember that talk about 'symmetry'?" asked Mr. Ghost.

"Of course," said Cinder. "The theater district murder, the trade fair's attempted murder, and the auction of the Graves family estate all took place in 'symmetry' locations."

The theater where the murder took place is symmetrical to the opposite Lancelot Theatre, the underground passage of the trade fair is symmetrical to the above-ground city, and the architectural pattern of 1 Erskine Street itself is a square (at the same time it is a two-story building).

In addition, the Kanla River divides the city of Lamifa into two halves, and the east city and the west city echo each other, forming a symmetry as well.This is also a detail that they have been paying attention to before.

...Qin Duo suddenly understood: "So, they also need to prepare two copies of 'Thirteen Paintings'."

Mr. Phantom thought for a while, and then said: "In fact, I suddenly realized that not only the symmetry of the building, but also the 'death' or this kind of 'painting' itself, is also symmetrical.

"There was a murder in the Lancelot Theater itself; people die every day and every night in the city above ground, and if that points to the power of commerce, then of course commerce is also going on every day.

"As for No. 1 Erskine Street, it used to be the gathering place of Ebenezer Const and other nobles. The Shadow Believers are very clear about what happened there. I suspect that this place is similar to the previous two places.

"...so, of course, they needed 'two sets of paintings,' to accomplish their ultimate goal."

When he first understood the nature of "shadow", it was at the dice.Dice says "Shadow" is outside civilization.

... Civilization and beyond.

In other words, "Shadow" is the god of the concept that needs to be opposed to something from the beginning.

What he himself symbolizes is not so important, what matters is that he is opposed to something.Everything that is opposite to "civilization" can be attributed to "shadow", just as there must be night when there is day.

Civilization is always changing, so the "shadow" is always changing.

...From a certain point of view, Mr. Phantom always thought that "Shadow"'s attempt to become a god in Fisher's world was a choice to cut his own arm.

But maybe, for "Shadow", wanting to obtain "destiny" and becoming a god of a higher level is his pursuit from beginning to end, so paying all the price for this—including himself—has nothing to do. must be achieved.

He admired the determination of "Shadow", but because of this, he couldn't let "Shadow" achieve what he wanted anyway.He must deceive the god.

Qin Duo nodded and understood what Mr. Ghost meant.

However, Qin Duo quickly realized the problem, and he said: "Emir said that he copied thirteen paintings, and the painting that was replaced by you is essentially the power of dreams, but it seems to be pointed to by the shadow believers. Ruthmi's power?

"That means that these thirteen paintings do not correspond to the thirteen old gods one by one. Besides, has Trisley's painting been completed?"

They've always believed that the Shadow Cultists didn't finish the painting of Pessonari and Trisley's powers.

"The answer to the first question may be yes. But the second question...it's hard to say." Mr. Phantom said helplessly, "They reproduced Trisley's power 14 years ago, which indirectly caused Emberless today. Some chaos in the land.

"However, whether this points to Trisley's paintings...that's another matter. And..."

Having said that, Mr. Phantom subconsciously paused.He looked out the window, and in the Tau cemetery, countless gray-white souls were still floating.

"What's wrong?" Qin Duo asked suspiciously.

"...Forrest said before that in the legends of the ancient tribes, Trisley really symbolized the starting point of human civilization, that is, nature." Mr. Ghost said in a low voice, "Therefore, the 'River Ritual' was born
