Chapter 3856 Purification
Angel took a quick look and saw that Lizzie's mission was progressing quickly. She had already confirmed the identity of the corpse and was now contacting the corpse's family.
As for Connors...there hasn't been much progress yet.
This is normal, as virus research is unlikely to be accomplished overnight.
Angel shook his head and looked away.
At this time, he had arrived at the "underground" area of Wanming Street. Passing through this area, he would reach the main street area of the Eighth Town.
As soon as he stepped into the tunnel, Ingres's restless thoughts gradually calmed down.
Although the surroundings are filled with the smell of dampness and mold, walking in this tunnel area where you can even hear the echo of your footsteps, your heart feels extremely peaceful.
It was as if this place had its own barrier that could calm the mind and spirit.
When passing the middle of the tunnel, Angel glanced at a cozy flower shop with lights on on the side of the road.
A mutant clerk with terrifying tentacles on his face was holding a watering can and watering the flowers in the pot under the light. Perhaps noticing Angel's gaze, the mutant clerk looked up at Angel.
Nodding with a smile.
It’s like a harmonious encounter between the shop owner and passers-by.
However, when Angel and the clerk crossed paths and went their separate ways, the clerk's smiling expression slowly disappeared. He turned his head and quietly looked in the direction where Angel left, with a trace of barely detectable emotion in his eyes.
After a moment, he shook his head and stopped staring. He continued watering the flowers and returned to peace.
After walking out of the tunnel, Angel immediately heard the daily noisy sounds of the Eighth Town. He looked back at the dark tunnel. It was only a few meters away, but it seemed like two completely different worlds.
The reason for all this is that... mutant clerk.
The mutant clerk was definitely a fashion magician who had set up an area in the tunnel that belonged to him alone. It could even be called a "field" or "barrier", which gave rise to the obvious tranquil atmosphere.
When Ingres came here for the first time, he didn't pay much attention to this "silent barrier".
Because this is not an offensive magic, it can make people feel peaceful, and it can be regarded as a mild auxiliary magic. For pedestrians passing through the tunnel, there are almost only benefits and no disadvantages.
But just now, when Angel passed through the tunnel again, he found something different.
"Call of the Dark Corner" (continuous purification, current progress 0.000%)
Behind the dark corner mark on the text column, the words "Continued Purification" appeared. All of this appeared after he entered the tunnel.
In other words, the "quiet barrier" in the tunnel seems to have the ability to purify negative effects.
However, its purification effect was not particularly strong. During the few minutes that Angel walked in the tunnel, no characters were displayed after the continuous purification.
But since there is "continuous purification", it means that there is still progress, but it may be very, very small.
If you want to completely purify "The Call of the Dark Corner", you probably have to stay in the tunnel for dozens of days?
It sounds like it will take a long time, but you have to know that the ability to purify the dark corner mark is very, very rare. After all, this may involve the "dark corner rule", which is a pollution at the level of the world's will.
And the mutant magician in the tunnel was able to purify this negative effect by relying on that inconspicuous quiet area...
Could this mutant magician be similar to Zuniga, and be the hidden boss in this copy?
Angel looked back at the tunnel for a few seconds, but ultimately chose not to verify it.
He already has enough side quests and random tasks. In order to avoid more causal entanglements, he should stabilize for a while...
However, despite what Angel said, he still cared about this mutant magician.
He pondered for a moment and contacted Connors.
Since it can purify even the "Call of the Dark Corner", will it also have an inhibitory effect on the "mutated weird virus"?
So, he asked Connors to get someone over to give it a try.
Of course, this was just a flash of inspiration for Angel. Because according to Connors' current progress, it would take an unknown amount of time to complete the hidden mission "Resurrection".
If there is a shortcut, Ingres still hopes to take it.
……
On the outskirts of the eighth town, Qingshui Canal.
This place is far away from the main street of the Eighth Town. There are no well-dressed people around. Occasionally, you can see living people, but they are all homeless people struggling to survive in the sewers.
Moreover, the deeper you go into the clear water canal, the fewer homeless people there are.
Because we have left the "reservoir" area and re-entered the cramped sewer area, not only is the road narrow, but there is garbage and excrement everywhere on the ground, and the smell is much worse.
Angel walked along the sewer area for about five minutes before he came to a slightly larger cave.
The spaciousness of this cave is only relative to the sewer area. If compared with the caves where the Ruins Paradise and the Eighth Town are located, it is really a dwarf compared to a giant and cannot be compared at all.
There is only one villa in this cave, and this almost dilapidated villa is the residence of the former noble knight.
To get to the villa, you have to pass through a winding canal.
This canal is the so-called "clear water canal".
But it's not crystal clear.
Of course, from the perspective of cleanliness, compared to the polluted canals in the sewers, this place is already very good. At least there is no floating garbage and no foul smell.
However, there was a thick layer of white foam floating on the surface of the clean water channel, just like soap foam, and the color of the water was reddish pink, making it look more dangerous than the polluted channel.
For this reason, although many homeless people know that there is an uninhabited villa here, no one dares to come here.
Most of the reasons are due to this red canal.
It is said that this canal is polluted by chemicals. If you stay here for a long time, normal people will mutate, and mutants will continue to fester...
But these are actually rumors.
The fact that the former noble knight dared to live here for a long time means that this place is definitely not unsafe.
Earlier, when Ingres and Sisley went to find the Fallen Knight Bonnet, they learned from Bonnet that the reason this section of the canal was this color was because of a kind of algae under the water.
This kind of algae is reddish in color, so the color of the canal also looks reddish-pink. As for the foam on the water surface, they are bubbles spit out by the algae and are harmless in themselves.
It just has a great visual impact.
Ingres had also seen it from a God's perspective before. The bottom of the canal was covered with dense red algae, and this red algae was long and narrow. If you didn't look carefully, it looked like a group of earthworms swaying at the bottom of the water.
As for why the Dark Round Table allowed the "rumor" to spread, it was actually to deter the homeless from occupying the villa of the former noble knight. To this end, the Dark Round Table also destroyed the only bridge over the clear water canal. If the homeless wanted to go to the villa, they had to cross the five-meter-wide "pink canal".
The actual effect is quite good at the moment.
At least from Ingres's perspective, there was no sign of homeless people occupying the villa.
Ingres stepped lightly and crossed the clear water channel, landing on the other side of the channel.
This is a valley shaped like the Chinese character “葵”, with a clear water channel running around the valley, and in the center of the valley is the former residence of the former noble knight.
There are many tall trees planted on the valley. Looking from the other end of the clear water canal, you can hardly see any traces of buildings, only dense and lush vegetation.
Only by going deep into the woods can you see the hidden, uninhabited villa in the central depression.
This is a detached two-story villa with a towering spire. On the top of the spire is a rusty cross that is crumbling under the erosion of time.
This cross is the family emblem of the former noble knight, and this decoration is almost everywhere in the villa.
The walls were made of grey stone bricks, and because no one had lived there for a long time, they were covered with dark green vines, as if nature wanted to devour the house again. The windows were large, but most of the glass was broken. Fortunately, when the Dark Round Table left, they covered the inner windows with paper to prevent the interior from being contaminated by dust.
There was a small garden in the yard, but it was all withered now, and all you could see were broken grass roots.
The pure white tea table next to the garden was also covered in mud, completely losing its former glory.
This is a villa abandoned by time.
With an observant eye, Ingres kept memorizing the scene around the villa, not missing a single blade of grass or tree. Moreover, he compared the memorized scene with the scene he had observed from a God's perspective.
Try to find the differences.
Because in Ingres's opinion, where "difference" exists, there must be something fishy.
However, Angel looked around the outside of the villa, memorizing every detail in his mind, but still did not find any difference.
Ingres was not discouraged, the real big head was in the room.
Passing through the dilapidated courtyard, Ingres came to the front door of the house. The heavy door was made of steel and was engraved with some strange symbols. At first glance, these symbols looked like some ancient religious or mystical symbols.
But in fact, this is actually an angle code.
This corner code does not have any special meaning, but is a series of numbers. If you want to enter the room, you need to click the corner code correctly to open the iron door.
To put it bluntly, this is a Modern City version of a combination lock.
Angel didn't know the original password of this door, and neither did the Dark Round Table; however, after the previous Noble Knight disappeared, the Dark Round Table found the merchant of this door and reset the password of the door lock.
Now you only need to tap the first symbol and the last symbol in succession to open the door.
Of course, Angel can also choose to score directly.
But, there is no need.
After opening the iron gate smoothly, Angel walked into the interior of the villa. Before that, when Angel observed from a God's perspective, he had remembered every detail of the interior clearly, so when he entered the villa, he not only did not feel strange, but instead had a sense of familiarity of "going home".
He remembered every detail here, including the extent of the curled edges of the blanket on the floor, the location of the broken porcelain bowl on the table, and the fragments of window glass scattered on the floor.
Now, it is just a matter of "comparison" again to confirm whether there is anything missing or different from the God's perspective.
This check took twenty minutes.
From beginning to end, Ingres used his physical eyes and spiritual perspective to explore, so that he could compare it with God's vision.
But at present, there is no difference between the hall, kitchen, cloakroom on the first floor, the bedroom, study on the second floor, and even the basement.
This made Angel feel a little depressed.
His intuition told him that there must be a secret here, and this secret was most likely related to the disappearance of the former noble knight, but he just couldn't find it.
Angel sat on the still soft sofa and fell into thought.
He was recalling the inspection along the way, reviewing every detail, trying to find what he had missed...
As images continued to flash through Angel's mind, a sudden complaint woke him up from his memories.
"It's so dark... I hate being pinched."
Angel was stunned for two seconds before he reacted. He waved his hand and a light blue magic hand appeared before his eyes.
The magic hand was originally clenched tightly, but it slowly opened as Angel called it.
The palm stretched out, revealing the card inside.
This card was the contact card with Zuniga. At this moment, the girl printed on the card was pouting and complaining in a low voice, “I was pinched again, I was pinched again.”
When she felt light coming from the outside world, she blinked her beautiful eyes and said aggrievedly: "Can't you put me in a normal place? I can't see anything when I'm pinched."
Angel had a blank expression: I threw it to the magic hand because I didn't want you to see it.
Seeing that Angel was silent, the Print Girl sighed, "Dear Mr. Angel, the master has something to contact you..."
Then the card changed, the printed girl disappeared and turned into Zuniga.
Judging from the background, he seemed to be sitting on a train at this time. The logo on the seat was silver wings, and it was obvious that it was the Silver Wing Express.
The Silver Wing Express is only responsible for the passage between the central area and other areas. In other words, Zuniga should have left the central area by now.
"I'm on my way to West 8th now." Zuniga's voice came.
"West District 8? Are you planning to come to the Eighth Town?" Angel was stunned.
Zuniga nodded. "Well, I found someone to help me carve graffiti in various districts, so I don't have to run to every place. So, I'm temporarily free, and I plan to go to the residence of the former noble knight you just mentioned. Do you want to come with me?"
Angel: "..."
Angel stood up, let the magic hand hold the card, and looked around.
In Zuniga's puzzled expression, Angel said, "I am now at the residence of the former noble knight."
Zuniga: "You've been there? Did you find anything?"
Angel nodded and briefly explained the results of his examination: "Nothing has been found so far. I guess that perhaps the clues left by the former noble knight are not the secret clues I imagined..."
