Chapter 400: A copy? There is a copy!
What appeared in front of me was a human face with empty eyes and a dull expression.
But none of this matters. What matters is that this face is only a few centimeters away from Mo Cheng's face. It can be said that the distance is exactly nose to nose.
When he saw this scene as soon as he went out, Mo Cheng almost couldn't help but punch the face away.
But he still remembered that he was in a state of [Ghost Walking], and no one could see him or touch him.
Mo Cheng frowned and dodged the approaching person. Although he had no physical body in the [Ghost Walk] state, he was somewhat uncomfortable seeing such a face getting closer and closer.
The newcomer was unaware and just walked past in a swagger. Only then could Mo Cheng see the environment of the corridor clearly.
At this glance, two different environments appeared before my eyes.
On one side is a normal manor corridor with luxurious decorations, and every piece of furniture is showing off the taste of money in various postures.
There was also a corridor on the other side, but it was full of signs of destruction. The precious furniture had been savagely hacked and smashed, and there were also traces of being burned by fire.
What's going on?
Mo Cheng glanced at his equipment bar. Not surprisingly, the [Gems of True Sight] was shining, but the light was not like the hazy and clear light of the past.
Something is wrong.
If it was an illusion or invisibility, the outer layer should be an illusion in Mo Cheng's vision, and he could see through the outer layer and reach the reality with the power of the [True Vision Gem].
But this time it was different from all the previous times. It was as if a line appeared in the middle of the field of vision. On the left side of the line was an intact corridor, and on the right side of the line was a damaged and burned corridor.
Moreover, this state will change as the line of sight shifts. No matter how Mo Cheng shifts his line of sight, his left and right eyes will see different things.
I took two cautious steps forward, and the scenes on the left and right sides suddenly swapped, with the left side damaged and the right side intact.
After hesitating for a while, Mo Cheng took down the [True Vision Gem] from his equipment column, and the split screen disappeared, leaving a dilapidated scene in front of him.
The corridor was full of debris and stones, and there were traces of blackened fire all around. There was also a lot of blood in some corners.
Picking up the wooden fragments of the picture frame at his feet, Mo Cheng walked forward a few steps again, and the surroundings returned to a normal corridor.
He compared the fragment with the painting on the wall. He had a piece of the frame in his hand, and he touched the frame with his hand to confirm that it was the real thing. He did not find any damage to the frame.
In other words, the fragments in my hand are real, and the picture frame in front of me is also real.
"Both images, are they real?"
Mo Cheng was surprised when he personally confirmed that both the intact and damaged states were real and not just an illusion.
No wonder even though the [Gems of True Sight] had exerted its power, the vision it provided was so strange.
Because whether the corridor is intact or damaged, it really exists, so the only thing the [True Sight Gem] can do is to allow Mo Cheng to see the corridor in both states at the same time.
But the question is, how?
This behavior is no less than mixing two animations frame by frame. People are like the progress bar. Once they move forward or backward, the picture will change.
This involves very profound powers of space and dimensions.
At the same time, as another completely identical City Lord's Mansion mixed with the City Lord's Mansion, where exactly this [material] came from is also a question.
Even whether the city lord's mansion is still in the material plane is something worth considering.
Also, the status of the guards patrolling outside, whether they know anything about this, and even whether they are guards at all, remains a mystery.
After discovering that there was a problem here, Mo Cheng was relieved. He was not afraid that there was something strange here, because that would mean that the direction of the investigation was correct.
There were something strange about the City Lord's Mansion, and the signs of fire and large amounts of blood in the damaged Mansion were consistent with what Dorothy had said before.
Mo Cheng returned to the room he had come out of before and revealed his figure after passing through the door.
Then he told Dorothy what he had just seen outside the door. This type of thing was obviously something that the knowledgeable legal professionals knew more about.
"The celestial spheres meet?!"
Just after listening to Mo Cheng's description, Dorothy blurted out a term he had never heard of.
"What is that?"
"A mysterious natural phenomenon, where worlds of different latitudes collide, and the worlds are directly connected and penetrate each other. Every time a [celestial intersection] event occurs, new species from other worlds will appear. At the same time, the areas where the collision and penetration occur may have rules that are different from our world, thus forming [different space]."
"This is also one of the professional knowledge of the Starry Sky Mage. We are very interested in the law of occurrence of the [Celestial Convergence]. In addition, not to mention the races that came with the [Celestial Convergence] and died because they could not adapt to the rules, some species with their own unique ecological systems have also developed into groups because they are able to adapt to the environment."
"The most famous ones are probably the drow elves in the underground world."
After listening to Dorothy's explanation, Mo Cheng suddenly realized, isn't this the situation after the first major version update of [Foreign Land]?
Due to the death of the [Eternal Night Demon], a terrifying energy shock swept across the world, causing the crystal walls of the entire world to be severely worn from the inside , and eventually making the originally difficult space transfer in this world easy, thus leading to the multi-world system.
"Is [Celestial Conjunction] common?"
"It happened more often in the era before the dragons disappeared, and the number of times it has appeared since then can be counted on two hands."
Dorothy pondered for a moment and continued, "You said you saw living people outside just now. It is very likely that because of the occurrence of the [Celestial Convergence], the different rules of the two worlds have infiltrated, causing their judgment of death to be distorted. They will forget that they are dead and what happened that night, like skeletons without self-thinking, repeating the same action over and over again."
Mo Cheng lowered his head to think, then raised his head and asked, "You said that [the intersection of the celestial spheres] will form [another dimension]?"
When he heard the synonym of "different space" as the copy, Mo Cheng gave up thinking. Now he just wanted to clear out all the people in this place, and then slowly look for clues from the copy.
Compared with the copy, the truth of the matter suddenly became less popular.
Mo Cheng was very angry because the previous mission was close to failure. Although Mo Cheng still wanted to find the mastermind behind it, when faced with an alien space that was most likely a copy, he now hoped to complete the copy and get the reward.
Just as Mo Cheng was thinking about whether to go out and clean up everyone, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the door.
