The Death Knell

In addition to the rainbow crystal ball, Merlin also created something that was used to turn the entire multiverse into a joke.

That thing is a mocking mirror.

Su Ming was thinking along the way, why a mirror? If you want to use a concept prop to distort the world and make normal things dark and funny, then you can completely implement the concept into something else.

For example, if you have a game console, a computer, or even a pinball machine, it will be more relevant to the game and more fun.

But Merlin didn't. He chose to cast the concept of twisted darkness into a mirror, and then shattered the mirror and spread it into every single universe.

After sitting on the throne, Su Ming got the answer to this question and laughed at the fragments of the mirror, which were the doors that were later 'born'.

The Creator God Gann is the first light in this multiverse, and the four rivers of light can be regarded as his derivatives. The doors and these 'mirror fragments' that Merlin later created are to reflect the 'light' to Other useless places to go.

The more doors there are, the more complicated the reflection results will be. Just find hundreds of mirrors randomly distributed, and let them refract a laser beam. Who knows where the light will eventually shine.

Adjusting the door of a single world is like adjusting a mirror fragment, and the light transmission route may be completely different. Merlin's fun-loving person is like a naughty child playing with laser lights, endlessly observing where the light settles every time.

Finished playing dominoes, now it’s time to play with a small laser flashlight

Each childish game almost brought the multiverse to pieces.

"Open the second door and touch the skeleton." Su Ming gave the order for strangulation, but he himself took out a bottle of wine and drank it to moisten his throat. The eye sockets of each skeleton on the mountains of bones were switches and buttons.

These saboteurs were dead, some died early, and their bones were almost weathered.

But this is the universe of the Dark Tower, where death is not the end, but the beginning of another kind. From a mage's perspective, these destroyers actually exist in another form.

It’s okay to say that they have eternal souls, and it’s okay to say that they are switches, but there is no doubt that there is some connection between them and the door they opened with their lives.

Following the death knell's order, the flexible small strangulating tentacles operated again. On the lower floor of the tall building, the lighted door also opened after a period of struggle, and the light entered it.

Su Ming, who was sitting firmly on the throne and drinking wine, seemed to be able to see the results and the places he had never been before. He added:

"Open the door to that compartment on the 40th floor and let the light out."

The symbiote did as it was told, and the light that disappeared on the seventh floor appeared again and shot out from a door on the fortieth floor.

"Press that skull."

"Open the door to 307."

"Go on, Lieutenant, take over."

As the doors opened, rays of light were woven in the corridor like sutures on a wound. Chaos Castle became brighter and brighter, and became more and more ethereal.

As mentioned before, the Dark Tower connects more than 1,300 worlds, and there are more than 5,300 doors here. The doors in each world are not unique. Then divide the following number by the previous number, and you will get an approximate is the answer to 4.

And this four corresponds to the number of four rivers of light, which is the key answer to the mystery.

After the adjutant took over, the efficiency of strangulation was actually higher, because they could communicate through signals, much faster than Deathstroke could speak.

The reason I spoke like that before was just for the mysterious guest to understand. As the work process speeds up, the death knell sitting on the throne may not be visible, but the people in the wasteland and people living in different worlds can all see it. The sky gradually lights up.

Maybe the farmers in the inner world are planting beans in the barren land, and they can see the light when they look up.

Maybe the fog thieves in the fog are looking for deep-sea fish oil, but they can also see the beam of light when they raise their heads.

Perhaps, those towns in the middle world that originally existed under the river of light may find that their light is brighter, and the tools and company dogs should not have the chance to see the sky, but it does not matter.

Light is such an attribute. Once it appears, no matter good people or bad people, regardless of social class, they will be bathed in light. It treats all life on the surface equally.

And this is the power of the creator god Gan

After finishing a bottle of beer, Deathstroke left the throne, because even a blind man could notice that this tall building was glowing. Deathstroke, who was used to operating in the dark, did not like this environment.

It feels like you are standing on the high platform of a lighthouse, with light shining into the distance from your head and feet, and it feels like your back is burning.

But to be more precise, it was because there were four huge rivers of light shooting towards the top floor of this building from the distant sky. This was probably why the Blood King's throne room was not on the top floor.

When Chaos Castle gets light, it can shine on its own.

"The black spikes disappeared." Mysterio looked at the surrounding environment. She also paid special attention to the nearby corpses: "Is it my imagination? The skeletons on the throne seemed to be laughing."

"Just treat it as an illusion. Everyone knows that smiles are the result of muscles and skin. Bones don't smile." Deathstroke took her arm and asked her to stand side by side with him: "Are you ready? Darkness The tower's gates are open and it's waiting for us."

Mysterio smiled. She did not delve into those issues, but she knew that with her mental resistance and willpower, she would not have hallucinations.

However, not all questions need answers. She and the teacher are both supreme mages, not detectives.

"So how do we get to the Dark Tower? Follow the light?" She took off her cowboy hat and put it into the light from the wall. The darkness suddenly melted like snow under the warm sun: "This kind of The environment has a great negative impact on my magic and combat effectiveness, and I don’t like light.”

"I don't like it either, but first there is light, then there is shadow." Deathstroke raised his hand to help her close her eyes, took her hand and said, "Light and darkness are opposites and complement each other. The concept of yin and yang is so good, According to the description in the original novel "The Dark Tower", as long as you follow the river of light in the sky, even if you walk backwards with your eyes closed, you will always arrive at the Dark Tower, which is both the starting point and the end point."

So the two of them really closed their eyes and walked backwards, but the direction they walked was not the way they came, but the broken window where the Blood King was thrown downstairs.

Deathstroke didn't need his eyes to move based on the three-dimensional map constructed in his mind. Logically speaking, if he walked like this, his feet would have been empty, and then he would have landed on the Blood King's flesh in a few seconds.

But after walking a few hundred steps, they didn't feel the feeling of falling, as if the road behind them had no end either.

So Su Ming opened his eyes, turned around, pulled the mysterious guest around with him, patted her back and showed her:

"Here we are, the Dark Tower is here."

What was in front of him was no longer the fortress called Chaos, but a huge spire that towered into the clouds. It was as if the building had been replaced, or the space had overlapped.

In short, it appeared silently, looking like a huge tree, but unfortunately there was no way to see the crown of the tree, only its body could be seen straight into the sky, disappearing at the end of the line of sight.

The sky here is half white and half black, which should symbolize the continuous rotation of day and night.

Even though there are four light pillars connected to the tower at this time, and energy pours into the tower like waves, black still prevails in this world. The shadow of a person is almost invisible on the black ground, only a faint trace. The light environment is like this.

"Well, at least the rose fields are back."

Deathstroke shrugged and looked at the black door, which was hundreds of meters in front of him, unfolding not far away, like a silent invitation.

But his eyes were still focused more on the outside of the tower, on the sea of ​​roses that existed on the ground and covered almost every corner of his field of vision.
