The Death List Novel - Chapter 735
Chapter 735 Monte Town
In addition to Acadia National Park, Mount Dissert Island also has several small towns and small harbors surrounding the forest park.
Because it is far away from the bustling area, other than tourism, other industries are not very developed. Without heavy and light industries, the local customs were close to nature. Compared to the big cities and bustling areas, the small towns here were simple and simple. Apart from a few star-rated hotels, the buildings were mostly low-rise two-or three-story apartments.
However, no matter how simple and modern apartments were, they were still different from the houses of the 18th century.
The population of the earth exploded in the 21st century, and the land was inch by inch. Although there were not many permanent residents of Mount Dissert Island, the architectural style was still practical, which was different from the architectural style of the first industrial revolution in the 18th century.
However, the country town below the cliff was clearly not the style of a modern building. Modern buildings are mostly reinforced concrete structures, but most of the buildings in this town can see log columns and obvious wooden beams.
Although some houses in modern western architecture still retain fireplace, most of them are electrical structures, no longer burning charcoal to reduce smoke emissions, so exhaust pipes are used instead of chimneys. The buildings and roofs of every household in this small town had a square chimney made of bricks and stones, and now most of them were emitting smoke.
“Illusion? Or did you travel through space and time again?” Hill and the others immediately checked the information in the Apostle Soul Seal, but they soon discovered that there were no hints.
“Look at the attire of those townspeople!” Hansen observed for a while and handed the binoculars to the others.
“If these townsfolk are all real, then I’m afraid we’ll be in trouble!” Hill looked at it for a while, put down his binoculars and said expressionlessly.
In the field of vision of the telescope, all the townsfolk he saw were dressed in strange clothes. Although Hill doesn’t know much about fashion, he can at least tell that their wide-sleeved linen shirts and wide-hipped knickers are very different from modern clothes.
They could only stay in this world for seven days. It was already the third day, but they still hadn’t found any traces of Qin Lun. This wasn’t a good start.
“There’s no way for us to retreat!” Hansen walked over from behind. As the king of mercenaries, he was very sensitive to the changes in his surroundings.
Just now, when everyone was observing the small town below the mountain, he had scouted in the opposite direction and discovered that the path they had come to yesterday was completely different. They are now in a sparse grove, not the primeval forest they came from.
“There are no hints in the Soul Seal. It means that we haven’t left yet. At least we haven’t completely left the original world.” Hill squatted down and grabbed a handful of weeds and dirt. He felt the feeling in his palm, “Everything here is too real. I’m afraid it’s not a dream or an illusion. From the looks of it, this should be a space-time loophole-like environment.”
No matter how realistic the illusion was, the details could not be compared to reality.
Hill and the others’ minds and souls were also protected by the shattered starry sky. As long as the superstring space wasn’t specifically targeted at them, there was practically no other world law that could deceive the Apostle Soul Seal. Therefore, as long as the Apostle Soul Seal didn’t give any hints, they wouldn’t be in a large-scale illusion.
“Temporal loopholes? You mean an environment like Bermuda?” Rand asked in surprise.
The Bermuda Sea of the Earth World has a mysterious legend of a passage of time and space.
It is said that Bermuda produces spatial and temporal passageways at specific times and locations. Those who accidentally enter will either go back to the past and the future or cross the spatial rift to reach the other mirror worlds of Earth.
‘”Yes, Arcadia may be an overlapping point where multiple spacetime converges. This explains why there were no mysterious powers here before, but last night, several mysterious powers suddenly appeared.” Hill said solemnly.
“But … isn’t the opportunity a bit coincidental?” Grant asked curiously.
“It’s not strange. Since the superstring space chose this point in time to cast the reincarnator, then it means that all sorts of wondrous historical plots will occur at this time.” Rand shrugged and spread out his hands.
“But we are not reincarnations chosen by the superstring space.” Hansen said coldly as he turned his gaze to Qin Mei. “Qin Lun’s sister, you’d better explain what plot line that world token inherited before choosing this point in time.”
The so-called world token was not randomly born. Its purpose was to bring Apostle or Samsara back to a mission world.
Since the fragmented starry sky and superstring space chose to condense something like this, it meant that after relying on the world token to return, they would definitely be able to contact a storyline or a specific storyline character.
“Don’t worry, everything is under control.” Qin Mei raised her head to look at the sky and whispered, “This is our destination. This place is called the Shadow of Space and Time. It is a place of space and time created by the superposition of several mirror worlds on the back of the earth …”
“No, it wasn’t you who suggested coming to Arcadia. Why did you know that Arcadia would produce this space-time shadow?” Hansen asked vigilantly.
“The distribution of spacetime shadows is irregular. I didn’t enter this world in Arcadia before.” Qin Mei shook her head. “However, I know that the mysterious power that I encountered before will definitely lead me to the location of the Space-Time Shadow. Only here will it have the chance to kill a high-level expert.”
“The mysterious power you encountered?” Hill looked at Qin Mei suspiciously.
“Yes, it’s a mysterious power called Reaper.” After entering the Shadow of Space and Time, Qin Mei seemed to have put down most of her worries and no longer hid anything from Hill and the others. “You can see that this world is at a fork in the road between magic and technological civilization. The two world laws are fighting for control of the world’s origin. The Samsara’s participation is to ensure a smooth transition of this kind of transformation.”
Reaper was the most powerful mysterious force in the process of magical laws. He dominated the Wheel of Fate in this world, also known as the Line of Karma. However, at present, his strength was not strong, so he could only harvest his soul through some worldly tools.
His strength is as unbreakable as God’s when dealing with ordinary humans, but no matter how skillfully he uses worldly tools to deal with mid-and high-level experts, it is useless. Our physical fitness is far beyond his control.
But because of the rules of his mysterious power, he could not fail to fulfill his responsibilities, so he could only lure me into this space-time shadow. Only when the restraint on him is weaker will it be possible to kill me. ”
Qin Mei said with a smile, “This is also my goal, because only here can we create the environment we need and break brother’s mental defense line.”
“How did you know that Qin Lun’s master would also come in?” Hill and the others were skeptical.
“This is inevitable. After all, this world is a low demon world. The power of Reaper is not strong. He cannot control the changes in the shadow of space and time while dealing with other people in the outside world. That is why he brought all the target characters to Arcadia and then captured them in one go to reduce the energy consumption.”
Qin Mei sneered, “He doesn’t have to worry about exposing himself to the mass media here, as long as everyone dies. Even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, the mass media will treat them as lunatics.”
“But isn’t the difficulty of the Samsara quest going to increase by a large margin?” Hill suddenly asked with a strange expression.
The Samsara of this world originally only needed to protect the storyline characters from all sorts of accidents. However, once they entered the shadow of space and time, Reaper would no longer be bound. Heaven knew how difficult their mission would be.
“Hehe, then I wish them good luck!” Qin Mei smiled and took the lead to run down the mountain.
This cliff wasn’t too steep. The steep slope was at an angle of 45 degrees. For Hill and the others, descending the mountain wasn’t difficult.
“Mr. Rand, what kind of place is this? Can we still find Susan?” Hidden in the woods outside the town with a few Apostle, Karin asked softly. Because Apostle’s conversation was deliberately concealed from her, the girl still did not understand her surroundings.
“I’m not sure yet, but I believe that Susan was kidnapped here. Look at the clothes of the people in the town. Isn’t they somewhat similar to the person you saw?” Rand explained with a smile.
“The style is somewhat similar!” Karin whispered. The person she saw was dressed as a gentleman. Most of the people in the small town were poor people who passed down linen clothes. However, they were relatively outdated compared to modern clothes.
“Put these on. I stole them from a hotel in a small town. They are very common. No one will notice them!” Qin Mei, who had left first, quickly returned and brought some old clothes to everyone. This made it easier for them to integrate into the town without attracting suspicion.
“So those townsfolk are all human beings with flesh and blood!” Hill took his clothes and sighed, completely convinced that this was no longer an illusion.
“Since the earth is the backdrop, have you heard where this place is?” Lan De asked Qin Mei softly.
“I told you you wouldn’t believe me. This is a British colonial town in the interior of South Carolina. It’s called Monte!” Qin Mei revealed a mischievous smile.
“South Carolina?”
South Carolina is thousands of miles away from Maine, almost to the southernmost tip of the eastern United States, and Maine is the northernmost tip of the eastern United States. The Shadow of Space and Time had actually jumped so far in a flash, causing everyone to complain.
“Shouldn’t we be glad that we’re still on the North American continent?”
“Qin Mei, did you find out the whereabouts of Susan and the murderer?” Karin asked anxiously.
“I haven’t started asking about this yet. However, this town is basically a poor immigrant and laborer. It should be easy to get a weirdo dressed as a gentleman.” A smile appeared on Qin Mei’s face.
