And according to the past mentioned by "he" himself in the memory fragments, his name when he was mortal was the same as this baron.

This means that he used to be called Alex as well.

After "him" disappeared, Granny Nails has been looking for "him" for many years.

She never imagined that one day she would use Alex's former name to find his traces. But when the name came out of Vannathan's mouth inadvertently, her heart, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly thumped.

Although she knew that it was very likely that Alex that Vandiathan mentioned was just a coincidence, and the name just happened to be the same as he used to be.

But this is the first time that Granny Nail has heard the name Alex in so many years.

Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's excitement, or maybe it's a kind of induction.

After thinking about it for a while, Granny Nails decided to come and see the protagonist in Vannathan's mouth for herself: Alex.

Even if Granny Nails knew that this was just a drama refined by Ingres, even if this drama was most likely made up and the protagonist's name was fictional, she still didn't want to let go of any clues.

What's more, the name also really touched her heart and memories, maybe it was also a kind of wizard's omen, subconsciously guiding her to come here.

......

As the strange and long sound of terror grew farther and farther away from her, Granny Nails felt as if she had entered a long, narrow passageway. A pair of invisible hands pushed him into the dark and unknown box garden.

This is a sign of entering a fantasy land.

With the ability of the nail mother-in-law, it is easy to break free. But she didn't do this, but followed this dark tide in the air, and sank herself into an unknown sea of illusion.

When the tip of her nose was slightly cold and the wind was whistling in her ears, Granny Nails opened her eyes with anticipation.

It was a night without the stars and moon.

Granny Nails' perspective is high in the sky, overlooking a lonely town shrouded in a dark night.

She took in the general distribution of this small town at a glance, and as a experienced wizard, she also subconsciously assessed the environment, the town buildings, and the possible corresponding locations.

Because it was too dark, the moonlight added a layer of white to the town, and the original appearance of the town was also deformed. And the nail granny can't use energy to change the visibility, so it's hard to tell where it is.

However, in terms of the distribution and style of buildings, it is a typical human town, but it still looks quite primitive, with neither railways nor steel buildings, that is, it is not within the radiation range of Rongguo.

When Granny Nails wanted to continue to observe the situation, the picture suddenly changed.

She went from a bird's-eye perspective to a bystander's perspective. And now she is located not in the sky, but in a somewhat old chapel.

The church is small but brightly lit, and a group of worshippers clasp their fists against their foreheads and chant religious prayers against a somewhat broken stone statue.

Granny Nails walked slowly down the central aisle of the church, observing her surroundings as she went.

She remembered that Vannathan had said that only when she came to the core of the current scene and activated the plot would she move on to the next scene.

And the central figure of this church, she remembers very well, is a priest with an indifferent personality.

is also the protagonist of this special drama, Alex.

When Granny Nails walked to the middle of the aisle, she suddenly heard a voice: "Everything is based on the teachings of the divine scriptures, and your way of thinking and logical evidence also need to be based on the teachings of God the Father, do you understand?"

In the church where the whispers are recited, the sound is so abrupt that it immediately attracts its attention.

She turned her head to look.

On the side of the church, an old priest was talking to a teenager in a low voice.

As she focuses on them, the camera naturally begins to zoom in, and Granny Nails understands that she has found the central character of the scene.

Granny Nails looked at the two of them with expectant eyes, or more precisely, at the young man. She knew that this teenager should be Alex in the mouth of Van Nathan.

When she saw the boy for the first time, her heart trembled slightly.

The boy had white hair, and under the oil lamp of the wall candle, the hair reflected the light, and had a dazzling silver texture.

And "he" is also a white hair, pure like the first snow.

Although the length was different, white hair of the same color and texture appeared in front of her eyes. Her heart began to beat faster, could it be that this teenager really had something to do with "him"?

When the perspective got closer and closer, and finally focused on this old and young man, the nail lady frowned.

Because, the appearance of the young man is not the slightest resemblance to the "him" in his memory.

Sure enough, the expectations were disappointed again. Granny Nails sighed softly, although she didn't have much hope, but this sense of disparity that was expected to arch up to the clouds and be pushed to the earth by reality again made her feel a little lost.

Granny Nails has been disappointed many times over the years, and she quickly adjusts her mood. Anyway, it's all here, so let's watch a new drama.

The plot that follows slowly unfolds.

The serial murder case is laid out in front of her with extremely shocking graphic expression.

Immediately afterwards, the characters of all parties slowly appeared, and each character had his own role while also pushing the plot forward. One of the most eye-catching is naturally the character who is shrouded in Ambilight and calls himself a time traveler, who seems to have become the living plug-in of the protagonist. was originally a good story to solve the case, but because of his appearance, it went to a strange development.

The cage that was solved later, and the Father Bronlong who slowly revealed the truth, and the nun hidden in the deepest part were all discovered by time travelers in the dark.

However, Granny Nails didn't care about the plot of the story, firstly, Vannathan said the general idea of the plot, which also explained the hasty blank of the ending, and secondly, all her attention was once again attracted by the protagonist Alex.

She had already let go of it, and she no longer overthought it. However, when the protagonist begins to communicate with the Time Traveler, her doubts arise again.

In this play, everyone else's accents are very strange. Granny Nails has been in the Southern Regions for so many years and has never heard a similar accent.

But the accent of the protagonist Alex, she has a strange sense of familiarity.

The treatment of some onomatopoeia and the end sound is very biased towards the tone of the thirteenth Yin'an Zhou of the Shisang Dynasty.

Granny Nails pays attention to Alex's accent because...... If she remembers correctly, "he" is also from the thirteenth Yin'an Zhou of the Shisang Dynasty.

Although the accent of the protagonist Alex also incorporates some other local intonations, among the several accents that occupy the main body, there must be the thirteenth In'anzhou.

This makes Granny Nails a little suspicious: the names are similar, the hair color is the same, and even the tone is close.

"Really, is it just a coincidence?"

Granny Nails didn't dare to give birth to expectations immediately, but there was a seed of doubt sprouting in her heart.

By the time the illusion was over, most of the people in the class were still immersed in the shocking illusion before.

Although the ending is a bit too fast, the story is overall complete, and what they appreciate more is the alchemy fantasy itself, and the way this very special emerging art is expressed.

Even though some people have tried to construct a story with illusion before, this is the first time that Ingres has used the natural switching of images to represent the advancement of the timeline and the deepening of the story.

While everyone was amazed, the eyes of the nail mother-in-law were in a trance.

"What is the origin of this story?...... the main character" Granny Nails looked at Angel beside her, "Does he have a prototype?"

Ingres was a little surprised that Granny Nails would ask this question, he originally wanted to refine this Fan Cage Shadow to see if anyone knew where this Fan Cage was, and used it to determine the ability of the Void Gate.

But so far, he has received no other information other than Sanders' confirmation that Alex's accent is biased towards the Shisang dynasty.

Angel has already made up his mind, and when he goes back, he will find Duoduoluo to predict it, if it really doesn't work, he will go to the thirteenth Yin'an Zhou of the Shisang Dynasty to try his luck.

But now the solemn expression of the nail mother-in-law seems to explain a fact.

What does she seem to know?

Ingres didn't answer immediately, but said to Granny Nail, "I'll finish the class first, and I'll talk to my mother-in-law in detail later." ”

With that, Angels came to the center of the circular classroom, briefly said a few summaries, and then ended the class.

Half an hour later, Mangshi Magic Street, inside the nail alchemy house.

In the empty second-floor hall, only Angel sat opposite Granny Nails.

Granny Nails was silent all the way, seemingly immersed in her own world, and even when they sat down, they never spoke.

After a long time, the fragrance of time wafting in the air has changed from the fragrance of noon to the fragrance of night, and the nail lady comes back to her senses.

Granny Nails looked at Angel and spoke slowly.

She asked the same thing as she had said in class before: "What is the source of the story in Shadow of the Cage?

Angels: "Why does my mother-in-law ask that?"

Granny Nails pondered for a few seconds and said, "Because, I have something I want to confirm. ”

This sentence was said by Granny Nails before entering the Shadow Illusion of Fan Cage. Angel was curious: "Could it be that after experiencing the illusion, the mother-in-law still can't confirm what you want to know?"

Granny Nails nodded: "Yes, I always think it's a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences, which makes me have the extravagant idea of 'it may be true......'."

Ingres didn't know what Granny Nails was referring to, but he didn't immediately follow up, but answered her earlier question in one sentence.

"It's hard for me to answer what the source of the story in Fan Cage Shadow is. But what I can say is that although the illusion is my fiction, the story is real. ”
