Chapter 422: Alice's Angel Statue
However, there is one more problem to be solved in the current night.
The time slot to enter the Black Gate is random, and so are the characters possessed by it, which is full of uncertainty and relies on ridiculous luck in addition to the necessary insight!
The purpose of the Black Door's existence is to enter another Yanan town to find the truth behind the witch trial, and if a bolder speculation is made on this basis, then is the White Door also serving this purpose?
In order to find this answer, Nightnight directly sought out any of the white doors and entered them, recording the location of all the portals, and after entering the parallel plane, he flexibly avoided several attacking shadows, and entered the portal that had previously possessed Henry.
Sure enough, his speculation turned out.
The night was possessed by the butcher's son, Henry, and the uncertain factor was only time, and Henry was currently in a state of being sick in bed.
As a result, Nighta was able to experience the power of the 'Demon Pupil' firsthand.
The body seemed to be immobilized as if it had been hit by the [Curse of Weakness], and every time it twitched, it was as if it had drained all its strength.
The skin that covers the body loses its luster and sinks inward, like a piece of dead skin attached to the skeleton.
In the irregular time period, there are labor pains that last for several minutes to tens of minutes each time, and it feels as if someone is cutting back and forth on the body with a knife, but because you are too weak to have the strength to scream loudly, it can be described as the most painful torture.
Compared with the physical body, the spirit has to endure more judgments, and the fatal part is that there is no time limit, and if this continues, even if you are not tortured to death by the disease, you will have a mental breakdown due to this haunting pain.
If there is a fatality, the most likely case is suicide.
……
Lying on the hospital bed, Cangye was taken care of by her mother.
This is a middle-aged woman with a fat body and a fierce face, and it can be seen from her appearance and demeanor that this is a woman who is very much in line with the setting of a butcher husband and wife in every way.
The chattering mother scolded in front of her son, who was not yet 10 years old, in an unusually vulgar language:
"My poor little Henry, it's those damned witches who made you like this......"
"You know, yesterday the little bitch of the shoemaker's house was burned to death, I have long said that she is a witch, she wears a terrible short skirt all day long, just to seduce men, witches are a bunch of sluts, your father who is full of women even said that it is a pity, is he ......"
Although little Henry's memory of his mother's impression of Serra was only that of a 'little slut who seduces men', from the one-sided and emotional words, the night still extracts enough useful information.
The tenth witch Serra had finished her execution yesterday, but the witch trial was not over yet, and soon the next witch was chosen, and that was the great Alice of the priesthood.
She was found smearing her 'Demon Eyes' with red paint by the river, and it turned out that she was not ill, so she was considered a cunning witch by the people who had lost their minds due to extreme fear, and in this way she concealed her viciousness.
By the time the priest arrived, Great Alice had already been lynched and stoned to death by the people.
Despite the poor relationship between father and daughter, the love for his eldest daughter can be felt when the night is possessed by the priest.
Therefore, the priest, who is the chief judge of the witch court, will definitely take revenge in his own way next, and from the eleventh witch trial onwards, the town of Anan will slide into deeper despair.
The butcher's wife, who had returned from the scene of the stoned death of Alice, had her hands covered with the ashes of the stone, and then she took care of her son with the hands that the prisoner had not had time to wash after the execution.
The possession lasted nearly 3 days.
During this time, there were 13 witch suspects at the same time, including 3 main culprits, and the rest of the men, women and children were put on trial as accomplices of witches, and even all the suspects were burned at the stake before the evidence had time to be falsified.
The priest's madness was expected in the night, and the suspects who were executed were listed in the mouths of the frightened butchers, all of whom were the ones who judged the Great Alice.
Before being forcibly interrupted, Cangye hears a commotion outside the door, and then returns to the real world amid the screams of breaking down the door and slaughtering the wife.
More shadows of Anan gathered outside the door.
Nightshade escaped through the encirclement and into another white door, behind which the black door that could possess little Henry had long since turned white, apparently already in use.
Therefore, Cangye directly chose a white door to enter another parallel plane.
The light in Yanan Town in this space was brighter than in other planes, and the time displayed on the clock was 30 minutes before the gate began.
The time spent in the Black Gate is always two hours, and the time limit for the gate to open is less than five hours.
During this time, only two doors can be passed.
But now the night saw an opportunity.
The time of the hundreds of real-world Yanan towns connected by the white gate is not uniform, and the judgment is based on the strength of the light.
After careful observation, Cangye has also discovered that the light of space may exist to match the shift of time.
At the beginning of the day, the light is brighter, and over time it gradually dims, until it evolves into a rich gray-black color.
Recall that the extra-dimensional quadrilateral body decorated on the white door is filled with large rings and small rings, which can constantly change with the movement of time, and the appearance remains the same.
However, if you look closely, there are marks of scales on the pillars that make up the quadrilateral.
The white door is placed in different positions, and the shadows formed by the light are also different due to different angles. Between the shadows and the scales, the time of the planes connected by the white door can be pushed out, so as to buy enough time in the real world.
There is no need to fear that you will not be able to find your original space, because when the time comes, the trialist will be automatically teleported back to the original place.
If Hakumon buys enough time in this way, then Kuromon has to experience all the characters and comprehensively dissect time from different angles.
Moreover, the night also discovered that the shadow of the light could also be contrasted with the black gate, and the time was also shown by the intensity of the light, and the dimmer the light, the time continued to pass after the trial of Serra.
The next time that Nightnight chose for the butcher's son was during the birthday feast, and the light was brighter than the previous door.
As soon as he was possessed, the laughter and exclamations of children could be heard in the ears of Cangye.
"Henry, what a gift you have!"
"I want this too!"
"Hmph, no matter how rich you are, it's not much of a butcher's son!"
……
When she opened her eyes, she saw little Alice holding the gift given to her by Henry, showing off to her friends shyly and proudly, and peeking at Henry from time to time.
When he saw the statue, the night stared.
That's it!
