Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In addition to Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island also has several small towns and small harbors surrounding the forest park.  Because it is far away from bustling areas, except for tourism, other industries are not very developed.  There is no light or heavy industry, and the rural customs are close to nature. Compared with larger cities and prosperous areas, the small towns here appear simple and simple.  Except for a few star hotels, most of the buildings are low-rise two or three-story single apartments.  However, no matter how simple and simple a modern apartment is, there is still a difference between it and an 18th century private house.  The population of the earth is exploding in the 21st century, and land is at a premium. Although there are not many permanent residents on Mount Desert Island, the architectural style is still practical and focuses on the use of three-dimensional space, which is similar to that of the first industrial revolution in the 18th century.  The architectural styles are very different.  But now in front of everyone, the country town below the cliff is obviously not in the style of modern architecture.  Most modern buildings are reinforced concrete structures, but most of the buildings in this town can be seen with log columns and obvious wooden beam structures.  Although some houses in modern Western architecture still retain fireplaces, most of them are electrical structures and no longer burn charcoal to reduce smoke emissions, so exhaust ducts are used instead of chimneys.  As for the buildings in this town, every household has a square chimney made of bricks and stones on the roof, and most of them are now emitting smoke.  "Illusion? Or have you traveled through time and space again?" Hill and others immediately checked the information in the apostle's soul seal, but they soon discovered that there was no prompt in it.  "Look at what those townspeople are wearing!" Hansen observed for a while and handed the binoculars to the others.  "If these townspeople are all entities, then I'm afraid we will be in trouble!" Hill looked at it for a while, put down the telescope, and said expressionlessly.  In the field of vision of the telescope, all the townspeople he saw were wearing strange costumes.  Although Hill didn't know much about fashion, he could at least tell that their wide-sleeved linen shirts and wide-hip bloomers were very different from modern clothes.  They can only stay in this world for seven days, and it is already the third day, but they have not found any trace of Qin Lun. This is not a good start.  "Our retreat is gone!" Hansen came from behind. As the king of mercenaries, he was very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.  Just now when everyone was observing the town at the foot of the mountain, he scouted in the opposite direction and found that the road they took yesterday was completely different.  They were currently in a sparse grove, not the virgin forest they came from.  "There is no hint in the soul mark, which means that we have not broken away, at least not completely broken away from the original world." Hill squatted down, grabbed a handful of weeds and soil, and felt the feeling in his palms, "Everything here is too special.  It¡¯s too real. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a dream or an illusion. So it seems like this should be an environment similar to a time and space hole?¡± No matter how real the illusion is, the details cannot be compared with reality.  The minds and souls of Hill and others are protected by the Broken Starry Sky. As long as the superstring space is not specifically targeting them, there are almost no other world laws that can deceive the apostle soul mark. Therefore, as long as the apostle soul mark does not prompt them, they cannot be in a large area.  inside the illusion.  "A space-time loophole? You mean an environment like Bermuda?" Rand asked in surprise.  There is a magical legend about the passage of time and space in the Bermuda Sea area of ????the earth world.  It is said that at a specific time and in a specific place, Bermuda will create a space-time channel.  People who mistakenly enter it will either go back to the past and future, or will they pass through space cracks and reach other mirror worlds on the earth.  "Well, Arcadia may be an overlapping point where multiple time and space converge, which can explain why those mysterious powers have not appeared here before, but several mysterious powers suddenly appeared last night." Hill said solemnly.  "But could the timing be a coincidence?" Grant asked curiously.  "It's not surprising. Since the superstring space has chosen this point in time and space to release the reincarnators, it means that all kinds of wonderful historical plots will happen at this time." Rand shrugged and spread his hands.  "But we are not the reincarnations selected by the superstring space." Hansen said coldly, looking at Qin Mei aside, "Qin Lun's sister, you'd better explain what plot line that world token inherited.  That¡¯s why we chose this time.¡± The so-called world token is not randomly created. Its function is to allow apostles or reincarnations to return to a certain mission world.  Since Broken Starry Sky and Superstring Space have chosen to condense such things, it means that after returning with the help of world tokens, they will definitely be connected to a certain plot line or a specific plot character.  "Don't worry, everything is under control." Qin Mei looked up.Looking at the sky, he said softly, "This is our destination. This place is called the Shadow of Time and Space. It is a place of time and space created by the overlapping of several mirror worlds with the background of the earth" "No, come forward.  You are not from Arcadia, so why do you know that Arcadia will produce this shadow of time and space?" Hansen asked warily.  "The distribution of the shadow of time and space is irregular. When I entered this world before, I did not encounter the shadow of time and space in Arcadia." Qin Mei shook her head, "However, I know the mysterious force that I encountered before.  , will definitely lead me to the location of the Shadow of Time and Space, because only here can it have a chance to kill a high-level powerhouse." "Have you ever encountered a mysterious power?" Hill looked at Qin Mei with suspicion.  "Well, it's a mysterious force called the God of Death." After entering the Shadow of Time and Space, Qin Mei seemed to have put down most of her worries and no longer hid anything from Hill and others. "You can all see that this world is in the midst of a magical and technological civilization.  At the fork of the world, two world laws are competing for control of the origin of the world. The participation of the reincarnation is to make this transition smooth. The God of Death is the most powerful mysterious force in the generation of magical laws. He dominates this.  The wheel of fortune in the world is also called the line of causality. However, its power is not strong at present. It can only harvest souls through some secular tools. If it is used to deal with ordinary people, its power is as unbreakable as a god.  It is useless for middle- and high-level experts to use worldly tools skillfully. Our physical quality is far beyond the scope of his control. But because of the rules of his mysterious power, he has to fulfill his responsibilities, so he had to induce me into this.  This is a shadow of time and space. Only if the restraint on Him is weaker here can it be possible to kill me." Qin Mei said with a smile, "And this is also my purpose, because only here can we create the environment we need.  , Breaking my brother's psychological defense. "How do you know Qin Lun's personality will come in?" Hill and others were doubtful.  "This is inevitable. After all, this world is a low-demon world, and the power of the God of Death is not strong. He cannot control the changes in the shadow of time and space while dealing with other people in the outside world, so he has previously targeted all the target people.  Attract them all to Arcadia, and then catch them all in one fell swoop to reduce energy consumption." Qin Mei laughed sarcastically, "He doesn't have to worry about being exposed to the public media here, as long as everyone is dead, even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net.  , the mass media will also treat them as crazy. " "But wouldn't this make the reincarnation's task much more difficult?" Hill suddenly asked with a strange expression.  The reincarnators in this world originally only needed to protect those plot characters from various accidents.  But once they enter the shadow of time and space, the god of death is no longer restrained, and God knows how difficult their mission will be.  "Hehe, then wish them good luck!" Qin Meijiao smiled and took the lead and ran down the mountain.  This cliff is not too steep. The steep slope is at a 45-degree angle. It is not difficult for Hill and others to go down the mountain.  "Mr. Rand, where is this place? Can we still find Susan?" Karin asked softly while hiding with a few apostles in the woods outside the town. Because the apostles' conversation was deliberately hidden from her, the girl still  Don't understand your environment.  "It's not clear yet, but I believe Susan was kidnapped here. Look at the clothes of the people in the town, do they look similar to the person you saw?" Rand explained with a smile.  .  "The styles are somewhat similar!" Karin whispered. The man she saw was dressed as a gentleman, and most of the people in the town were poor people who wore linen clothes, but their clothes were relatively outdated compared to modern clothes.  "Put these on, I stole them from a small town hotel. The styles are very common and no one will notice!" Qin Mei, who left first, came back soon and brought several sets of old clothes to everyone.  They can more easily blend into the town without raising suspicion.  "So, those townspeople are all human beings with flesh and blood!" Hill held the clothes and sighed, completely convinced that this was no longer an illusion.  "Since the earth is the background, have you ever found out where this place is?" Rand asked Qin Mei softly.  ¡°You won¡¯t believe it if I tell you, this is a British colonial town in the interior of South Carolina, called Monte!¡± Qin Mei showed a naughty smile.  "South Carolina?" South Carolina is thousands of miles away from Maine, almost to the southernmost point of the eastern United States, while Maine is the northernmost point of the eastern United States.  The shadow of time and space actually jumped so far all of a sudden, which made everyone complain.  "Should we be thankful that we?Still on the North American continent?  " "Qin Mei, have you found out about the whereabouts of Susan and the murderer?  "Karin asked anxiously. "I haven't started asking about this yet, but this town is basically made up of poor immigrants and laborers. It should be easy to find a weirdo dressed up as a gentleman.  "A smile appeared on Qin Mei's face.
