Perhaps to ordinary people like Kulia, Nunnally, and Ogland, the bones that littered the ground seemed terrifying, but to Fangzheng, it was very abnormal!
As a paladin of the Holy Sanctum, Fangzheng had naturally learned some knowledge about undead creatures from the Holy Sanctum. Therefore, in Fangzheng's opinion, even though the Gulf of the Dead had such a name, there wasn't a single trace of undead aura here.
This was very abnormal.
According to the records of the Holy Sanctum, generally speaking, places where people died would more or less have resentment, and there might even be ghosts and vengeful spirits. This was also the reason why undead creatures would often appear in mass graves or graveyards. And according to this pattern, the Gulf of the Dead should be filled with ghostfires, at least ghouls and undead creatures crawling all over the place. After all, tens of thousands of people died here, and they died in that crazy massacre. It would be strange if there weren't any undead creatures.
And now, Fangzheng had indeed seen a ghost.
Because there really weren't any undead creatures here, and he couldn't even feel a trace of undead aura. The entire Gulf of the Dead gave Fangzheng the feeling that it was like a field set that had been cleaned up, and the bones that littered the ground were more like stage props made of plaster.
"Nimf, are you sure this isn't another illusion?"
Although Fangzheng cast the Truth Detection Spell again, for safety's sake, he still looked at Nimf and asked, and Nimf nodded.
"Yes, Master. There are no traces of tampering with the information here, and I didn't detect any magical fluctuations."
That's strange. Where did the tens of thousands of souls that died here go? Could it be that they retired after a hundred years?
Of course, this was impossible. Fangzheng had only heard that the older the soul, the more powerful it was. He had never seen a soul that was laid off and returned home after reaching the retirement age. Come to think of it, did souls have a retirement age?
"Then what's the sound we heard?"
"Voice?"
Nimf was taken aback by Fangzheng's question. Fangzheng watched as the little angel placed her hands on the two rectangular earphones on her ears. Shortly after, a series of radiance flickered and the little angel gazed at Fangzheng in confusion.
"I didn't hear any sound, Master. There are no abnormal fluctuations in the area that I can capture."
"What?"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng couldn't help but be startled. He hurriedly slowed down and looked around vigilantly. Of course, he didn't think there was a problem with the little angel. As an artificial all-purpose angel, Nimf had shown her strength more than once. Although the Little Angel had almost no advantage in a head-on fight, she was still able to hold her own. However, as the most sophisticated product of Sinapus' black technology, the little angel's abilities in this area could be said to be top-notch.
And now, everyone heard the voice, but Nimf didn't hear it at all?
This could only mean one thing. This voice only targeted living beings!
"Can you search it carefully?"
"Of course."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, the little angel once again placed her hands on her ears. Layers of halos appeared in her eyes and began to rotate continuously.
"Activate comprehensive detection scanning mode …. Analyze the multi-dimensional space …."
While muttering to herself, the little angel's eyes slowly looked around. After a while, the halos in her eyes disappeared again. The little angel frowned with a puzzled expression.
"Master, I understand the problem."
"Oh?"
"According to the analysis of the scan results, the space we are in is located in the middle of a discontinuous spatial fault. If I'm not wrong, then the sound you heard should be a continuous signal coming from another space. Since the signal's fluctuations match the fluctuations of living beings, you were able to capture that sound, Master. I just need to adjust the frequency a little …. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng saw the strange white rectangular object on the little angel's ear flash with a rainbow glow once again. Following that, Nimfu's expression returned to normal.
"…. Just like that, I can also capture the signal you heard, Master."
"… Sorry, I don't understand. Can you explain it in a simpler way?"
Although Fangzheng could vaguely guess what the little angel was saying, he still hoped that the little angel would consider the fact that they were not graduates of Sinapus University of Technology and give them a lesson like "the little angel will teach you about abnormal space in three minutes".
"In other words …. Master, the Gulf of Souls we're currently in isn't the real Gulf of Souls."
The little angel did not disappoint and quickly gave an answer.
"In fact, the Gulf of Souls we're currently in is just a projection of the Gulf of Souls from another world. It's not the real world. The real Gulf of Departed Souls is hidden in a spatial rift, so it's very difficult for ordinary people to detect it. These sounds are coming from the real Gulf of Departed Souls. Perhaps it's because the time in the spatial rift is distorted, or maybe it's because of some other reason that it's flowing into this world. And because the frequency of this sound is the same as the frequency of living things, Master, you can hear this sound. "
So that's how it is!
Upon hearing this, Tilia and Hecate revealed looks of confusion. However, Fangzheng was enlightened. He immediately understood what the little angel was trying to say.
For example, if the Gulf of Souls in this world was the cover of a magazine, then what Fangzheng and the others were seeing now was not the original cover of this magazine. Instead, someone had cut out the same cover from another Gulf of Souls magazine and pasted it on this cover, hiding the real cover. This also explained why Fangzheng could not sense any undead aura even though there were bones everywhere. Because the Gulf of Souls they were currently in was just a projection of the Gulf of Souls in a parallel world!
Could you taste a real drumstick from a 3D holographic image? Of course not.
Then the question was, why would someone hide the original cover of the magazine so openly, and even paste a new one on it?
There was only one reason – there must be some unspeakable secret hidden in the original cover!
"Was that the illusion in that part of the sea was also for this reason?"
"It's similar in nature, but the degree of compatibility here is higher, so I didn't notice it at first …"
"Very good."
Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction when he heard Nimf's answer. He pondered for a moment, then looked at the little angel again.
"Do we have a way to enter it?"
"It might be a little difficult …"
Facing Fangzheng's question, Nimf frowned. She closed her eyes and waved her hands in the air from time to time, as if she was searching for something. After a while, the little angel gave him an answer.
"The projection here has almost overlapped with the original space, so it's difficult to open it by force. But if we can reach the core location that created this projection, I can try to hack into that magic item and control it to open the entrance. "
"So, where is the core location?"
"It's right in front."
