Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Germain looked out the window.

"The human world is already very big, but it is only a small part of this world. The "Dark Continent" is the real world. "

"In the same way, the universe is very vast and our planet is so small. It is not surprising that there is nothing in the real universe."

"However, if you dare not take the first step into the universe because of fear, human development and evolution will stop here."

He paused and then said: "This is my last inquiry. It's still too late for you to quit now, as long as you promise not to leak the secret. Do you want to quit?"

The chill of the night seeped into the house silently. There were still some noisy and tinny sounds, but they disappeared at some point, leaving only the world after silence.

Bisji and Xiaodi looked at each other, and then looked at Germain with different expressions.

"I don't want to quit." Xiaodi stroked the inverted cross on her chest with her finger. "I gave up when I had a profitable thing in front of me. Isn't it a pity?"

"Besides..." Bisji added, "Even if your assumption is correct, wouldn't it be better if we didn't go looking for it? It has legs on us, can it still control our will?"

Germain closed his eyes, then opened them again.

He had expected that they would say this, but he was not surprised and said: "Then, just follow the original plan, have a day off tomorrow, and set off in the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

"The purpose this time is to explore deeper into the "Dark Continent", find valuable loot along the way, and return safely without suffering serious damage. "

Bisji and Xiaodi both nodded in approval.

This was a decision the three of them had made before. Originally, they could have sought stability and returned to the areas that Germain had explored, but they were not the kind of people who were afraid of danger.

Everyone who reached an agreement rested for a day the next day, until the early morning of the 22nd, when everything was silent.

Most of the lights in the luxury suite have been turned off, leaving only a single light bulb emitting a dim light, casting a circle of light on the area where the three people were sitting.

"One last check, are you ready?" Germain first checked his backpack before asking.

Xiaodi nodded and put her backpack in front of her eyes: "I'm ready."

"Me too." Bisji confirmed, "In addition, the 'doctor' I mentioned to you before is already in place nearby."

"But she is a very shy child. She probably won't come here without my message."

Germain nodded and said, "That's fine. There's no need to let too many people know the inside story. Just let her think it's just an ordinary commission."

"Don't worry, that kid is very reliable." Bisji suddenly became excited and stood up with his hands on his hips, "Hurry up and let me see your "lantern." "

"Yeah." German said no more.

He first stretched out his right palm, and his mental energy materialized the "Hunter's Badge" that looked like a broken fragment. Then, through it, he materialized a "lantern" in the central area where the three people were sitting around.

Purple light fell from the "Hunter Badge" like water drops, dripping on the ground, causing ripples.

After a while, a simple lantern emerged from the lake-like floor, and on the lamp holder were lying four haggard little ghosts, who looked like the mummies of premature babies.

"Although I heard you say it once, when I actually see it, I still feel creepy." Bisji stared at the imps and commented, "It doesn't look like a "mind beast", it's just part of a "lantern". "

The four little ghosts did not waver at all because there were two more strangers around. They still howled at Germain like a spoiled child, but the howls were too frightening in the dark night.

Xiaodi touched the reverse cross on her chest and suggested, "I feel like we need to hurry up. If someone hears such a sound in the early morning, they might come over to check."

"Maybe it will become a strange story in this hotel." Bisji laughed evilly.

Germain nodded in agreement and said, "Then stretch out your hands and hold them together."

He stretched out a hand as a demonstration and held the hand of one of the little ghosts. The little ghost immediately let out a cry of surprise.

Bisji and Xiaodi looked at each other, then stretched out their hands and came into contact with those rough, cold fingers. They could feel the fragility of the little devil, as if they could crush them to death at any time.

Only one little ghost was not selected. It did not howl, but hugged the lamp base in disappointment and weakness.

"Do they also have the concept of 'emotion'?" Xiaodi asked curiously.

"Probably." Germain replied, "I have tried to communicate with them before, but apart from crying and joy, they did not make any third sound."

Bisji raised a finger and said: "That means it is impossible to communicate and is only used for 'teleportation' guidance."

Germain nodded, and then looked at the content projected by the "lantern".

"Lantern location: dry valley/mud land"

"Cooling time: 32 minutes (cooled)"

"It's begun." Germain first reminded Bisji and Xiaodi, and then said to the three little ghosts, "Take us to the "mud land." "

Bisji and Xiaodi, who were a little nervous, felt that the little devils were holding their fingers a lot harder at the same time, and then an extremely strange scene changed in front of them.

The sky and the earth were spinning, the stars were moving, and the surrounding scenes were all distorted and shattered, and then reorganized in a very short period of time.

It is daytime here, surrounded by a forest of reeds that are as tall as a forest, but a large area has been burned, leaving gray embers.

Germain immediately looked at the edge of the muddy land and realized that the corpse of the "Lord of Crows" had disappeared.

There are traces of dragging around, and the direction of the dragging is the depths of the "mud land".

His eyes narrowed in alarm.

Is it cannibalism, or is a new king born, or is this place occupied by other species?

German gave up delving into this matter and turned to look at Bisji and Xiaodi, who were looking around curiously.

"It does seem that it was teleported to a certain place." Bisji touched the ground and kneaded the loose soil. "Even day and night are reversed. Is it a problem of longitude and latitude?"

Germain looked up at the sky, then looked at Bisji and Xiaodi beside him.

"I thought so too. So I chose to teleport to the "Dark Continent" four times around one o'clock in the morning, but at different locations. "

"But no matter if I teleport from one end of the six continents to the other, it will always be daylight when I finally arrive here."

"The last time I brought a compass, I walked north for more than half an hour. Every time I encountered an open space, I would stick a branch on the ground and observe the changes in its shadow."

"The shadow keeps moving from northwest to due north, getting shorter and shorter. It is estimated that the time is probably in the morning."

Bisji pursed his lips.

"In other words, the "Six Continents" are too small compared to the "Dark Continent". I'm afraid they only occupy less than one time zone..."

"This is the northeast side of Lake Mobius, the belly of the "Dark Continent." "

Note: The cooling time has been corrected here. I forgot to double it once before (embarrassing)

Sorry, the update was delayed this time, mainly because I was struggling with many settings.

Xiu Tuo said that there are billions of people in the six continents. Such a six continent, placed on the diagram of the dark continent, is not as big as Taiwan, and the six continents still use a 24-hour system.

In addition, we must also consider that the released map of the Dark Continent may only be a small part, whether Lake Mobius is actually pitifully small, whether it is in the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere, whether it is at the equator, etc.

How to calculate the twilight line and the direct sun point?

I feel like my head is exploding

The initial idea was to directly copy the earth's time zone, no matter why this huge planet rotates 24 hours, no matter where Lake Mobius is, but the more I thought about it, the more complicated it became.

In the end, I decided to completely abandon the too complicated geography and time settings, and try my best to get the best of an area that I am not good at at all. I will only die miserably. The more I write, the more loopholes will appear. In the eyes of professionals, it is still ridiculous, so it is not as good as Think about what you are really good at

The most important thing is that the real earth should not be directly transferred to it. This is a fantasy and magical world.

The real Dark Continent setting will be released in Togashi’s lifetime.

I forgot where I saw it, but the current setting is more like humans starting from the earth and going to the dark continent, the deep part of the solar system, to explore. I feel the same way.
