Chapter 570 The Eternal Red Moon
Located on the second floor of the college, the door to the platform leading to the lake is locked, but for Fang Zheng, this is obviously not a problem.
"Boom!"
Seeing Fangzheng kick open the heavy wooden door, Irene stretched out her hand to press her forehead and sighed helplessly, she was already used to Fangzheng's behavior. Locked doors and the like are of no use to him at all. If the door is locked, kick it open; if the door cannot be kicked open, the window must be opened;
Erin had to admit that this was also the reason why they were able to reach the academy so quickly.
It’s just that this outsider seems to have a deep-rooted obsession with opening the door... He seems to dislike detours to find agencies to open the door. According to the outsider, well, it’s a waste of time and quite boring .
"Why do I have to go around to the other side to open a door that I can kick open with one kick? Is there anyone here who wants me to lose money?"
Erin had to admit that there was some truth to this sentence.
But the problem is... this time the outlander might really lose money.
"Uh………"
When Fangzheng kicked the door open, he was a little embarrassed to find that on the platform on the other side of the door, an old man was sitting on a rocking chair and staring at the lake in front of him. He wears heavy robes, a broad hat, and holds a long staff in his hand. Fangzheng's rude way of opening the door didn't seem to affect the old man. He was still curled up on the chair, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it, I just tripped accidentally."
"........."
Hearing Fangzheng's insincere apology, Irene silently glanced at him, then said nothing. But Fang Zheng didn't change his expression of contempt for Irene, he just walked up to the old man, lowered his head and looked at him.
"You are Master William?"
"..."
The old man didn't speak. Fangzheng saw that the part above his nose was covered by a wide hat, but judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was not sleeping.
"I have some questions to ask you..."
Fangzheng spoke again, but the old man just shook his head, then he raised the scepter in his hand and pointed to the front.
"........."
“…………………”
Seeing the old man's reaction, Fangzheng and Irene looked at each other, then Irene walked to the edge of the platform pointed by the old man's staff and looked down, then she turned her head and shook her head at Fangzheng.
"You can't see anything here."
"I hope you can answer a few of my questions, Master William."
"........."
Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, William still didn't say a word, he just raised the scepter again and pointed to the front.
But Fangzheng didn't pay attention to his actions this time, he just stood beside the old man with his hands on his hips, as if he had fallen in love with him.
"........."
"........."
Minutes and seconds passed, Fangzheng remained motionless, and neither did the old man. It was as if they were having a game of patience, and whoever couldn't help but speak first lost.
"I said, what are you doing?"
In this case, it was Irene who couldn't bear it first.
"Didn't this old man give us a hint? Maybe we should look for clues around here..."
"The other person is here, and he is not dead, so can't he just say it outright, so we have to run around?"
Fangzheng obviously doesn't like this.
"I said Master William, everyone is a smart person, don't fool us, I have some questions to ask you, but if you want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, then we have to continue to spend, this is not a game, you It's not an NPC that is set to say nothing except limited content, and I'm not your student or subordinate, so don't expect to fool me into doing something without saying a word."
"………Ha ha………"
Hearing this, the old man finally chuckled. He turned his head and looked in the direction where Fang Zheng was.
"It's so interesting, a stranger... Although I do feel an unusual soul from you, but... you are much more interesting than I imagined."
"You think the same as I do. Is it true that people have this problem when they get older?"
"Maintaining a sense of mystery is a bad habit of a scholar, but you're right..."
Having said this, William coughed a few times.
"...but young man...sorry my spirit right now...it's hard to support me in long conversations, the world, the world is crushing me. You can't understand how I feel, voice , light, all of these things are completely different to me..."
The old man seemed really tired. He coughed violently after saying a few words, and he recovered after a while.
"Okay, so I'm sorry, let me make a long story short...you did this never-ending night of hunting?"
"..."
The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"why?"
This time, Irene couldn't help asking.
"Why are you doing this, Master William?"
"Because... when the night of the hunt is over, the blood moon will rise..."
The old man's voice was full of fear and sorrow.
"The Old Gods have always been in this world, we used to think they were gone, no, they weren't. It's here, there, this way, that way. In any one of the places where we thought they should exist or not. Where it should be. But we just can't reach them, they look at us like we look at ants in a box... the ant won't be aware of us because it has nothing but antennae The way we can perceive the world. The same is true for human beings, we are ants, we can only use our tentacles to feel our world..."
Having said this, the old man's body also began to tremble.
"But when the blood moon rises, the power of the ancient god will cover everything... the whole Yharnan will become its playground, no one can stop its power... the curse of the ancient god will be merciless Devour everyone, let them struggle in pain and despair...then...destroy..."
"But now Yanan is on the brink of destruction."
Hearing Master William's words, Irene's face turned pale, but Fangzheng was quite calm.
"With all due respect, this is a matter of dying sooner or later. Both glasses are poisoned wine, one is blood-sealed and the throat is sealed, and the other one can confess a few last words, but after confessing, you still have to die, right? If so, why? Let's not be more straightforward...Master William, is there a way to get us out of the dream?"
"...To get out of the dream, you must eliminate the curse of the ancient gods and defeat them...but...it is almost impossible..."
Having said this, William's voice gradually dropped.
"Impossible...Humans cannot observe the world with the way of thinking of the ancient gods, and only when we understand the world in this way can we be in contact with the ancient gods, but at that time, we are no longer It's us again... Mansis persistently seeks the coming of the blood moon, immersed in his impossible ideal... Lawrence... Poor boy... He went the wrong way, they all wrong."
William raised the scepter in his hand again and pointed it forward.
"I used Roma's time loop to seal off this world. The night of hunting will continue forever, so that the blood moon will never come. It is in the center of this lake. As long as you kill it, the blood moon will come. The world is about to change... I don't know what's next, but Outlander... Since you're so confident, I might as well let you try. Go ahead, kill Rom, and... ...to find Mansis, he tried to use the blood moon to create the ancient gods, his actions are doomed to fail..."
"That's right, don't you think it's good for everyone to speak clearly?"
After listening to William's narration, Fangzheng picked up the big sword and walked towards the edge of the platform, but seeing Fangzheng's movement, Irene hurried forward to stop him.
"Wait, wait, are you really planning to go? What if..."
"There is no chance, no matter what, the hunting night will end anyway, as for whether there will be a blood moon coming... then, whether it is good or bad, there will always be changes, isn't it? "
While talking, Fangzheng waved his hands, then he jumped and jumped off the platform.
