Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1348: It’s dark
"Suto's pupil...the guardian spirit..." Tianyang recalled the information provided by Yang Kun, and found that this place really has many special features.
At this time, Yang Kun asked curiously: "Why did you come here? Were you also washed up by that water column?"
Tianyang said with some concealment: "During a certain exploration, we found a map. We followed the route on the map to find this place. There are humans on the island."
The old man smiled at the bearded man and the others, then turned around and said, "They are different from us, they are residents of this world, but they are very strange..."
"According to them, they came to this island before the world became dark, and they only lived here for a hundred or two hundred years."
Tianyang was stunned, and looked at Moonlight in disbelief, who also whispered: "This is impossible, the reverse world slips into darkness, it will definitely not be formed in a hundred or two hundred years, and according to the discovery in this reverse world From the perspective of things, this world has been dark for at least a thousand years.”
"How could it be that they only landed on the island for a hundred or two hundred years."
"Does it have something to do with 'Suto's Pupil'?"
Xun looked out of the window: "Under its gaze, the flow of time in this area is different from other places?"
Tianyang was startled: "If that's the case, then when we go back, wouldn't it be that the outside time has passed for a long time?"
Yang Kun said with a chuckle: "Then you don't have to worry too much. I didn't pour cold water on you. Your chances of going back are very slim."
"In addition, even if the 'Suto's Pupil' affects the flow of time in this area, it seems to only affect the indigenous people."
"Why do you say that?" Moonlight looked at the old man.
The old man pointed to Tianyang and the others: "Because your clothes and equipment don't look like the outside world has passed for hundreds of years. You must know that I have lived here for more than thirty years. If you say The flow of time in this area is much higher than that of the outside world, and one or two hundred years is equivalent to one thousand or two thousand years outside."
"Then from the time I came here to the present, the outside world has gone through at least two or three hundred years, two or three hundred years, and your clothes and equipment will not be similar to mine."
Moonlight nodded slightly, feeling that what the old man said made sense, and asked him some questions, including who was the Lord of the Deep Sea Fort when he landed on the island. Through these questions, it was confirmed that the old man was not affected by time.
This relieved Tianyang and the others.
Otherwise, Tianyang will probably end the exploration immediately, leave here and return to Deep Sea Fort, lest the outside world quietly pass away, and the time has passed by the time they finish exploring and go back.
After reassuring, Tianyang asked: "Old Yang, besides the **** they believe in 'Suto', have you heard of any gods they believe in? For example, the **** of the sky?"
"The God of the Sky?" Yang Kun said with a chuckle, "That's Suto. This **** has titles such as 'God of the Sky', 'God of the Sun' and 'The Last Valkyrie'."
"In addition, when you entered the town, didn't you pass a small square and saw the statue there? That is Suto."
Tianyang frowned: "But when we found the map, we saw the murals. The sky **** in there is a majestic male. Why did he become a female here?"
Yang Kun

Shaking his head: "Then I don't know. Because of the 'Suto's pupil', I have learned about their beliefs with Awu in detail. In their cognition, the sky **** is a woman."
"Perhaps because the belief has changed in the process of spreading."
Moonlight looked out of the window and said: "For the people on this floating island, it has only been a hundred or two hundred years since their world slipped from light to darkness, but the world below the island has at least one or two hundred years past. Millennium."
"After the world slides into darkness, various huge disasters will inevitably occur, and faults will inevitably appear in civilization and beliefs. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that beliefs have changed."
"Perhaps at that time, the residents of this world yearned for sunshine and power, so they imagined the sky god, who was originally a female image, into a majestic male. After all, this image makes people feel more secure."
Tianyang nodded and said: "Your analysis is indeed very reasonable."
Dangdangdangdang...
At this time, a bell rang outside. Hearing this sound, Yang Kun suddenly got up: "We should go, it's getting dark, we have to go back to the residence before dark, otherwise there will be danger."
"It's dark?" Xun looked at the old man in disbelief, "It's still dark here?"
Yang Kun had already got up, and said "wait a moment" to Tianyang and the others, he turned around to communicate with the bearded natives for a while, and then gestured: "Follow me."
Tianyang nodded, and followed Yang Kun to the street with Yueguang and the others.
On the cobbled street, passers-by hurriedly returned home, closed the door, and even put down the curtains.
Walking on the street, the old man said: "I also said before that the 'Suto's Pupil' is like our human eyeballs, which can turn and blink. So, yes, it will also close its eyes. time."
"Every 72 hours, the 'Pupil of Suto' will go out. At that time, people must return to their homes. If they stay outdoors and stay in the dark, terrible things will happen."
"It's here."
The old man stopped and pointed to a two-story domed building in front of him: "This is the residence they arranged for me. It's quite spacious, and it's more than enough to accommodate the few of you."
Yang Kun took out the key, opened the door, waved his arms and said, "Come in quickly, check for me again, and put down all the curtains."
A few people from Tianyang walked into the door one after another. After closing the door, they came to the living room. The natives of the bell' waved their arms while beating the bell, yelling for people to hurry home.
"Put down the curtains, hurry up!" The old man said nervously, and walked quickly up to the second floor by himself.
Several people in Tianyang spread out, checked the windows of each room, and made sure that the curtains were drawn down.
After being busy for a while, they returned to the living room, and the lights were already on. Yang Kun lit several lanterns in the living room. The lamps used here are neither electric lights nor kerosene, but some kind of solid combustion.
Tianyang watched as the old man put cube-shaped, wax-like objects into the lamp, lit them with fire, and they could release a steady, bright but not dazzling light blue light.
"These are?" Tian Yang looked at the old man.
Yang Kun casually threw one of them to Tianyang: "This is the fuel in the town, and it's the only fuel. They call it 'rare earth', and they are everywhere outside the town
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It can be seen everywhere, I suspect that it is the black mud decomposed after the death of the black people, and it is a product of some kind of combination with the soil of the town. "
"But no matter what, it can be shaped into a fixed shape, and it can also be kept for a long time. The ignition point is moderate and the persistence is strong. One unit, that is, this small cube of rare earth, can continue to burn for about a week."
Tianyang looked into the lampshade unexpectedly, and did not detect the existence of dark particles from the flame, that is to say, it was a kind of safe fuel.
"If it can be delivered outside the door..." Yueguang said softly, this kind of thing is only 1 cubic centimeter, and just a little bit can keep burning for a week, even if Yueguang is not a businessman, he knows its value. .
Yang Kun laughed: "Yeah, I thought so too at the beginning, and even wanted to make a fortune from it, but then I couldn't find a way to leave, so I stopped thinking so."
"What happens here when it's dark?" Tian Yang put the small cube in his hand on the table. Compared with Rare Earth, he cares more about this town. After all, the more he knows, the more sure he will find the sky. Talisman.
After lighting up a few lights, Yang Kun looked at the window covered by curtains and said, "After dark, those who once lived in this small town but have passed away will come back."
The living room suddenly fell into a quiet atmosphere.
After a long time, Xun asked: "How do the people who have passed away come back? Or, are the residents of the town who come back?"
"Then I don't know." Yang Kun walked towards the kitchen, and the old man's clear voice sounded in the kitchen, "You can see for yourself in a while, but remember, no matter what you see, you hear Nothing, can't open the window."
The old man stuck his head out from the kitchen door: "If you open the window or the door, they will come in, and then we will become one of them."
"Are you sure those are not black people?" Tian Yang asked with a frown.
The old man came out, holding a wooden plate in his hand, on which were placed some food that looked like barbecue: "I can't be sure, although I am a sublimator, but I only have rank 2."
"And I'm old, I don't have the courage to explore when I was young. As for the aborigines here, they don't have the courage to face their dead relatives and friends, let alone find out the truth."
"In addition, you'd better not search for the truth. We are outsiders, and some truths are beyond our turn to dig. Well, this is the life wisdom of an old man."
Yang Kun put the plate on the table: "Come and eat something, unless you are not hungry."
Moonlight smiled and said: "We just ate a few hours ago, and we are really not hungry now, you can eat by yourself."
The old man laughed: "I know what you are worried about. Do you think it is human flesh, or a monster? Well, I thought the same as you at first, but later I learned that it is not what we thought."
"The people here have their own captive poultry, chickens, ducks, fish and cattle, farms, and crops. Otherwise, they would have died out."
"This is chicken. I raised it myself. It's right behind the house. I can show you around when the sun rises." As he spoke, Yang Kun didn't force Tianyang and the others to eat, he picked up a piece and bit it down.
At this time, Qianhong's voice sounded.
The girl standing by the window raised a corner of the curtain, stared out of the window and whispered: "It's dark."
