Chapter eight hundred and ninth night visitors

The first day in the sandbox world, rushing through the exploration of temples and cities.

The simulated sun in the horizon was gradually approaching the horizon. The brilliant glow casts the silhouette of the desert city of Bonnie Sandra on the earth. Gao Wen came to a high platform near the temple, overlooking the empty and abandoned city from a high place, as if he was trapped in thought.

Footsteps came from behind, and Gao Wen turned his head and saw that Selena had come to her side.

“We will rest in an empty house near the temple tonight,” Selena said, “Do you think it’s OK?”

"There's nothing wrong," Gao Wen said casually, "You can understand the environment here and arrange it yourself."

Selena opened her mouth, seemed a little hesitant, and then spoke a few seconds later, "Have you thought about how to deal with the upper narrators? For example...how to draw Him out."

This is not only her question, but also something Yuri and Magnan want to ask but dare not ask.

To this day, the upper narrators are still an invisible thing in their eyes. He exists, and its power and influence can be seen everywhere in the sandbox No. 1, but He has no entity exposed to everyone's eyes. Selena could not think of how to fight against such an enemy, and the wanderers outside the territory...

She and Yuri and Magnan observed the whole day, but did not see any active means of searching or fighting against the upper narrators. Gao Wen, like them, was doing some investigation and intelligence collection throughout the day, which made them feel a little confused.

Can the things they are doing really be used to fight against that invisible and intangible "god"?

In the dim sunlight that gradually sinks, Gao Wen glances at Selena and smiles: "I know what you are worried about.

“To be honest, a faceless god hiding in such a vast sandbox world made me feel quite tricky, and I can’t start or start.

"So I'm waiting for that 'upper narrator' to show up."

"Wait until He appears on his own initiative?" Selena opened her eyes slightly, "Do you think the upper narrators will come out on their own initiative?"

"Yes, this is the opportunity He has been waiting for for a long time," said Gao Wen quite confidently. "We are the last springboard for His escape. Our exploration of the sandbox No. 1 is also the best opportunity it can seize. Even if we do not consider this, the intrusion of our "uninvited guests" must have attracted His attention. According to the experience of the previous exploration team, the god did not welcome outsiders very much. He would at least make some kind of response. As long as it responds, we have the opportunity to seize the substantial power and find its clues."

"Assault..." Selena whispered, looking at the giant sun that had already sunk to the horizon, "It's almost dark."

"Yes, it's getting dark. The previous exploration team encountered a mental backlash after it was dark," Gao Wen nodded. "In the sandbox world, 'night' is a very special concept. It seems that as long as night falls, many changes will occur in this world. We have explored Nim Sandra during the day. Next, we may be able to look forward to what its night looks like."

Gao Wen said, walking towards the edge of the platform, preparing to return to the temporary station, but Selena's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Have you considered the authenticity of the words at the temple door and on the pulpit?"

"The god is dead?" Gao Wen stopped at the edge of the platform and shook his head slightly, "I don't believe it."

Night finally came.

The moonless night sky enveloped the desert city of Bonnie Sandra, and strange stars flashed in the sky. In an abandoned house near the temple, Selena summoned her lantern, bringing bright and warm lights to this house that once belonged to.

The house had been cleaned up. Yuri waved his hand at the long table in the center of the main house and created a sumptuous banquet. Various barbecue were painted with even sauces, radiant in attractive colors. Desserts and vegetables were decorated around the main course, with bright colors and delicious appearances. There were also transparent wine glasses, candlesticks and other things on the table to embellish the feast.

"Enjoy food and explore the city-state are not in conflict." Yuri sat at the long table with a polite smile, looking extremely graceful. "Although they are all dream products, this is the dream world itself, so enjoy it."

"It's so boring, we don't have to eat and drink here," Magnan sarcastically said, "Should you say you are really aristocratic? I'll create some illusions in this ghost place to deceive myself into putting on the Sutim wine and silver candlesticks of Tifeng's 702 year."

As he spoke, the short red haired archbishop of Eternal Sleeper sat at the long table and cut a piece of barbecue for himself: "...it's quite delicious."

Selena looked at the two people at the long table and couldn't help but frown slightly and reminded: "Be careful, it's the night of the sandbox world. This world is not very safe after nightfall."

"Of course, so I'm waiting for the damn upper narrator to come to the door," Magnan's loud voice rang at the long table. "It will only create some vague dreams and illusions, and leave some 'the god is dead' in the temple to scare people. I'm curious now what else He will do next, can I knock on the door?"

As soon as Magnum's loud voice fell, the house, which was a temporary place to settle, suddenly became quiet.

"Tu tuk"

A rhythmic knock on the door came into everyone's ears.

In this empty world, in this empty city-state, under this quiet night

There was a knock on the door.

Magnan had half a piece of barbecue stuck in his mouth, and he stared and swallowed hard after two seconds: "...Damn...I'm just talking..."

At the same time, the gentle knocking sound was still ringing, as if the person knocking outside had excellent patience.

Yuri and Selena's eyes fell on Magnan at the same time. The red-haired archbishop glared at the eyes and finally waved his hand hard: "Okay, I'll go and drive..."

But Gao Wen stood up earlier: "I'll go."

While speaking, he came to the gate made of unknown wood, and at the same time he divided his spirit and felt the things outside the door.

There was a breath of someone outside the door, but it seemed that it was just a human being.

Gao Wen put his hand on the handle of the door, and at the same time, the sound of knocking sounded stopped, just as visitors outside expected someone to open the door and began to wait patiently.

As the door shaft rotated, a creaking sound broke the silence under the night sky. Gao Wen pushed open the door and saw an old man in a shabby gray robe standing outside the door.

The other party was tall, with white hair and beards, and the wrinkles on his face showed the traces left by the ruthless years. He was wearing a robe that had been many years and years. The robe was covered in scars and the hem was worn out, but he could still vaguely see some patterns and decorations. The old man was holding a simple paper lantern in his hand. The brilliance of the lantern illuminated a very small area around. In the hazy light created by the simple lantern, Gao Wen saw another figure behind the old man.

It was a young girl wearing a shabby white dress with long white hair almost drooping to her ankles. She stood barefoot behind the old man and looked down at her toes. Gao Wen could not see her face clearly, so she could only roughly judge that she was old, had a thin figure and a pretty face.

An old man and a young girl were visiting late at night with a shabby paper lantern, and it looked like there was no threat.

But in this sandbox, in this empty world, their existence itself is a strange thing!!

Gao Wen did not relax any vigilance because of the harmlessness of the visitors. He had already assumed that the other party was a "upper narrator". He had the highest alert in his heart, and kept his face calm and asked, "It's so late, what's wrong?"

"It's been a long time since the lights appeared in this city," the old man spoke with a gentle expression on his face and a very kind tone. "We saw the lights in the distance and were very surprised, so we came over to see the situation."

Such a natural and normal way of speaking.

However, the more normal he acted, the more weird Gao Wen felt.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Selena came to Gaowen.

She glanced at the old man and the girl at the door, nodded slightly, and her tone was also very natural: "Is it a guest?"

"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing at night," said the old man, "Can we go in and rest? It's not easy to see the lights in this city."

Receiving visitors on this night when visitors should never appear is undoubtedly a very risky act.

However, Gao Wen looked up and down at the door for a moment and suddenly smiled and said generously: "Of course, the desert area is very cold at night, come in and warm up your body."

Selena looked at this scene with a slightly strange expression, and some strange associations arose inexplicably:

The upper narrator knocked on the explorer's door, and the wanderers outside the domain pushed the door out, warmly welcomed the former to visit, and then things became interesting.

Of course, she had no evidence that the ordinary old man and girl in front of her were the incarnations of the upper narrators, but since they appeared in such a strange situation... even if they were not "incarnations", they would obviously not be normal people.

In the abandoned houses, warm lights illuminate the room, the long tables are filled with mouth-watering food, the fragrance of wine flutters in the air, and the guests who come from the cold night are led to the table.

Yuri and Magnan looked at the stranger in front of them with curiosity and alertness. The old man smiled gently, while the white-haired girl in a white dress just sat quietly aside, staring at her toes, as if she turned a deaf ear to what was happening around her, and seemed to dare not communicate and look at the stranger around her.

"My name is Duvalte," the old man in the worn-out robe showed no place for any abnormal people. He just sat politely at the long table, and said with a smile, "It is a priest who is still walking in the world, he...it is probably the last one."

priest……

Gao Wen captured this word, but it did not show any expression.

The old man who called himself Duvalter then pointed to the girl who was following him and continued: "Her name is Naretire."

He only introduced the girl's name, and then there was no text below. He did not introduce the other party's identity and the relationship between the two as Gao Wen thought.

Yuri, who was still beside him, took the initiative to speak: "Naretir...a nice name, is it your granddaughter?"

"No, it's just a walk with you," the old man shook his head, "In today's world, it's not easy to find a fellow traveler."

The girl called Naritiel looked up carefully and pointed her hand at herself, said in a low voice: "Narritiel."

This seems to be a self-introduction.

Magnan curled his lips and said nothing.

"We are a group of explorers and are curious about the city," Gowen saw the two "people" who came out of the deserted night before him introduced themselves so normally. Without knowing what they had planned, he did not take the initiative to attack, but instead introduced himself with a smile. "You can call me Gowen, Gowen Cecil. This is Selena Gerfen, and the one next to me is Mr. Yuri Charvin, and Mr. Magnum Kerabor."

"It feels great to see the traveler appear here again," Duvalte said in a gentle tone, his eyes swept over the hearty food on the long table beside him, "Ah... it was a hearty dinner."

"You can eat together," Yuri said politely, "sharing food is a virtue."

"The food is really good," Magnan said, and sniffing hard, "Oh... it's a pity that would have been better without the stench everywhere."

The entire Nim Dowl and the surrounding areas that have been discovered are filled with a strange smell of stench. This spreading smell has obviously affected the Archbishop's mood.

When the old man Duvalter heard Magnum's complaint, he showed a gentle smile: "Is it a rotten smell... it's normal."

Gao Wen immediately frowned and asked subconsciously: "Why is it normal?"

"The god is dead," the old man whispered, putting his hand in his chest, his palms horizontally, his palms down, his tone getting deeper, "Now... He is finally beginning to rot."
