Chapter 23 Ancient Night

Since its birth, human beings have had a natural fear of the night. Midnight is the time when the human mind is most vulnerable. Although the night itself has no change, the alternation of day and night is just a natural law and remains unchanged forever.

But in history, human feelings for the night are indeed very complicated.

The night is often associated with people's various fears, which makes people feel like the long night.

This is often reflected in mythology. For example, in Greek mythology, the goddess of night, Nix, as a primitive god, represents the essence of night among several goddesses of night. The divine spectrum extended by him is simply terrible.

Danadus, Goddess of Disaster, Goddess of Disaster, Moros of Ereth, Goddess of Destruction, Goddess of Destruction, Goddess of Evil, Goddess of Destruction, Goddess of Destruction, Goddess of Destruction, Goddess of Destruction, Eury Nomos of the Decay...

There are also sorrow, sorrow, righteous indignation, etc., and their descendants also have also produced the pain of the god of labor, the god of famine, the god of struggle, the god of battle, and the god of murder...

It can be said that in Greek mythology, the night is almost the source of all evil.

As the incarnation and body of the night, Nix himself is one of the deities that even Zeus fears.

After the Middle Ages, the negative images and concepts of the night did not change much, especially in the European society dominated by Christianity. Not only did it not improve at all, it was better to say that it was considered that "the night has the evil nature" and it was more prominent.

After all, the devil always appears under the cover of the night. The night belongs to the devil, and the devil is the enemy of God.

Witchcraft is another object of disgust in the church. Medieval witchcraft was prevalent, and witchcraft belonged to the darkness.

In this way, people's panic about witch hunting and chills at ghosts in the late Middle Ages... These made them regard the night as a synonym for "devil" and "conspiracy". Even in modern English, the night still has the meanings of "dark", "sin", "sad".

This concept only gradually changed after the rise of modern urbanization and nightlife appeared in cities. After all, when the night is no longer long and needs to be passed, it becomes the most lively period of the day.

——In order to enjoy this lifestyle, people will naturally start waiting for the night to come.

The night is no longer disgusting and fearful, but begins to become a resource that can be used.

The changes in the night occur in the relationship with human beings. From being the incarnation of evil for a long time to becoming a necessary period for modern lifestyles in modern times, human attitudes towards the night have changed with the development of the economy and society.

From the seventeenth or eighteenth century to the current twenty-first century, although people today may still be afraid of the darkness, they are strictly different from the fear of the darkness hundreds of years ago.

Perhaps, only when they suddenly fall from a high altitude in a nightmare can they feel that similar feeling and find that they still have some memories of this terrifying memory left by ancient ancestors.

Or maybe they happened to be in the city of Tokyo tonight, and their inspiration is relatively high, so they can also relive the memory of their ancestors in reality.

As a god with many complex attributes, Mo Chen is also a god with many complex attributes.

Whether it is the divine nature that Qu Ling plundered from Shen Jiuye, or the ones obtained by Mo Chen himself, and other more and more complex attributes, they are now owned by him.

——So if he really wants to cause trouble, then creating special effects will definitely not be solved by 50 cents.

Tonight, people with high inspiration will definitely be completely shocked and then the touching liquid will flow out.

...

...

As time goes by, the night becomes deeper and deeper, and the stars and moon are dim and light, gradually disappearing behind the clouds.

Perhaps it is because in this era, not many people have the heart to care about astrology, and they don’t even have time to look up at the sky, so they don’t find that the night is getting deeper and deeper.

After all, no matter how many dark clouds are gathered in the sky, it has no effect on a city that is already brightly lit, flowing light and is so serious that it is so polluted that it makes people dazzling.

Many people have not even been able to find the dark clouds and haze in the sky, nor have they found that the night is so gloomy.

It's just a gust of wind, and the chill is terrifying—

The breath of dark night began to emerge in every dark corner of the city, every secluded street and alley, especially the dim lights or places that were simply unavailable.

The spread of darkness does not mean that the overwhelming exorcising light and allowing all the lights of the city to disappear. Although this can be done easily, the eternal night will be presented to the gods.

But the gods that dominate everything do not need such inexplicable results, so they are only becoming more and more severe in the already dark places.

The breath of the dark night seems to come from ancient times, from the ancient world where myths are rampant on the earth. They have reappeared on the earth of this planet through the indescribable eternal years.

They did not bring any substantial erosion or damage, and seemed to only make the dark place darker, with the dark aura so rich that it seemed like black mist rose.

However, no matter what, it is good. This is an unnatural phenomenon. Even if it is not directed to humans, it will definitely have some impact as long as it exists.

——After all, this is the right thing to do at night.

I don’t know how many people walk from the alleys I used to...

When passing a dim section without street lights...

When I walked through several stairs where the stair lights were broken...

The feeling they felt inexplicably suddenly was suddenly magnified and uncontrollable.

Whether it is the office workers on the way home or the local residents going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, they cannot avoid the impact of this ancient night. They become troubled and uneasy, and become a little confused and panicked.

This is the horror of darkness, so I miss the light strongly - this is the uneasiness, fear, discouragement, powerlessness that the people who were waiting for the sun to rise in ancient times have been steadily held...

This is the memory and feelings of ancient ancestors.

However, this inexplicable panic did not cause much riot. As long as they speed up their pace through the dark shadows and return to a place with lights, this inexplicable panic will quickly subside.

And they also cannot know that they are affected by mysterious powers and are special interference in the mind and spirit.

I just feel that I am suspicious of my own, and even annoyed that I am still afraid of this situation-

Then subconsciously wanted to find a reason to explain to yourself.

For example, have you watched some horror movies, supernatural novels, or heard some urban legends recently; or are you wondering if you have been studying recently, have a lot of work pressure and are not in good spirits.

Anyway, I definitely don’t feel that I have been affected by some mysterious aura, but it is a factor involved in the mysterious realm.

In addition, it is not glorious to say such things and will only be ridiculed. Therefore, even if a group of people are panicked and uneasy, they will only pretend to be nothing in front of others.

If you pretend to yourself and others pretend to be too, you will naturally feel that only you have encountered this kind of thing. No one else has this problem and will not find out that this is a group phenomenon.

Therefore, there will naturally be no riots.

However, these are just purely encounters and feelings of ordinary people. They do not have any special talents. They belong to the kind of person who is born with mysterious power that cannot be stored in their bodies, let alone practice.

Apart from these vast majority of people, it is not that the rest of people have the talent to practice and master mysterious power, but are divided into two parts of people-

There are only a small number of people left, who are really talented. Although they vary in height, they are already talented at the worst.

Most of them are in a very subtle middle world. They have no talent and it is difficult for them to master even if they are just weak mysterious powers, but they just don’t have spiritual power talents.

But it has higher inspiration than ordinary people and a certain spiritual talent...

Ordinary people do not have mysterious power, but they cannot see certain "things". Those "things" can generally be regarded as non-existent for them... So even if they do not have the power to cope, there is no big problem.

But the most deadly thing is the kind of people who can't master the mysterious power but can see those "things"... When they see those "things", those "things" often find them in turn.

——When you look at the abyss, the abyss is also watching you.

In the past, there was actually not much problem. There were not so many ghosts and monsters in this era, especially in big cities.

Unless it is a wilderness or deep forest that is usually unvisited, and there are steep and deep valleys that even beasts will avoid, and dark valleys washed out by streams with unknown sources, you can find evidence of the existence of those "things".

Therefore, they have the ability to see something, but have never seen it before. So this ability is nothing like that. They don’t know it themselves and their lives will not be affected.

But now it is different. With the help of the shared magical powers given by Mo Chen, no matter whether those things summoned from the underworld have relevant attributes, they can shuttle through darkness and shadows.

Adding to their number, it is easy to search the entire city in a carpet style.

But it is also because of this that their existence will inevitably be discovered by some people with higher inspiration. No matter how careful they act, it is meaningless. After all, if the base is too large, it will always make mistakes.

And this situation is definitely not just a feeling of panic and inexplicably palpitations—

...

...

A high-rise commercial building.

The fourteenth floor.

Tonight, Keita Takada was able to get off work after 10 o'clock, but as the minister, he was already given some preferential treatment and small privileges.

You know, when he packed his things and walked out of the floor where the company was located, his subordinates were still working overtime on the project. It is estimated that today will also be delayed until at least twelve o'clock in the morning.

It is also expected that this state will last for more than a week before the project can be completed, and then everyone can take a short rest.

After walking out of the floor where the company belongs, Takata Kyota didn't need to check it at all, just to know that only the floors of this building were still on.

Or this is the social animal... Takada Keita said so sarcastically in her heart, not knowing whether it was for herself or those who were still working overtime.

The crisp sound of leather shoes echoed in the long corridor. He held his briefcase and looked at the night view of the city outside the window. For some reason, he always felt that it seemed particularly dark outside tonight.

However, the man didn't think much about it. He quickly withdrew his gaze and walked to the elevator.

When I came in the morning, a large number of people gathered in front of the elevator door on the first floor, which made people feel upset, but at this point in time, I still go down from the high floor.

——It's basically empty, not even a single figure.
