Chapter 550: Difference Between the Inside and the Outside

Chapter 550: Difference Between the Inside and the Outside

Although Sun Yixie was shocked by the scene at first, he calmed down after Huang Donglai in the mirror cursed a few words with very clear mouth movements.

"Fuck you..." After a few seconds, Sun Yixie cursed at the mirror, "You're not dead, are you?"

Of course, Huang Donglai, who was in the "Mirror City", was just like Sun Yixie on the other side. They could only see the other party's mouth moving but could not hear any voice from the other side.

Even so, the two of them still cursed at each other in front of the mirror for about a minute, and during this process they achieved the two feats of "talking back and forth" and "talking nonsense" just by relying on each other's expressions and lip movements, which made Dan on the side dumbfounded.

Fortunately, this argument did not last too long. After a minute, Sun Yixie finally decided to do something serious. He picked up the parchment and showed it to the mirror.

Then Huang Donglai on the opposite side discovered that from his side, the words on the paper were all "horizontally flipped", which made it impossible for him to translate these words using his translation technique.

Seeing this, Huang Donglai could only use very slow lip movements and various gestures with his hands, and said to Sun Yixie: "Hold it and don't move." Then he asked Balde and Roman beside him to help him see what was written on the parchment.

As long as the two of them spent a little time, they would be able to understand the contents of the paper, so they translated the contents of the paper after two minutes.

While they were translating, Huang Donglai was not idle either. He asked Roman for paper and pen (Roman had plenty of supplies on him), and briefly wrote down the situation on their side, wrote a few questions, and made three pieces of paper with "yes", "no", and "don't know" written on them respectively.

As for Sun Yixie, Dan thought the same thing as Brother Huang. When Sun Yixie held the parchment, he quickly found some materials in the drawer of the room and made something similar.

Just like that, a few minutes later, the two teams on the "two sides" of the mirror began a very inefficient silent communication.

Why is the efficiency said to be “very low”?

Imagine that there is a person on each side who cannot read foreign languages, and at the same time they encounter the problem that the "translation software" cannot translate and process the mirror text. Originally, this problem could be solved by asking both of them to communicate in their native language by handwriting. Unfortunately, one of the two people cannot even write his own native language well... They can only ask the foreigner next to him to write in foreign languages ​​to help convey information. So when the other party encounters content other than "yes", "no" and "don't know", they have to ask the two foreigners next to them to help translate...

But no matter what, even though the efficiency is low, there is progress.

Through this wave of information exchange, Sun Yixie had a general idea of ​​what happened to Huang Donglai and Balde after that night, as well as what happened in the "fog forest" before.

Simply put, there is a certain power in this castle that vaguely connects two different worlds.

One is the "surface world" where Sun Yixie and the others are now, and the other is the "inner world" that exists on the "other side of the mirror".

The castle in the surface world doesn't have so many monsters, nor does it have "doors that change space when opened or closed", but Philibert and his two butlers usually stay in the surface world, which means that the "BOSS" is here.

Although the other world is a more chaotic and distorted place, not only does it have that kind of "door", but the number and abnormality of monsters are also higher... but relatively speaking, it is better to "survive" there.

Because there are several "chapels that can restore people's strength and heal injuries" in the inner world, and because the rules of time and space here are very chaotic, even Philibert, the owner of the castle, cannot move freely in it, or even he has to take certain risks every time he comes in... So in theory, as long as you are familiar with some of the rules of the inner world, you can live longer there than in the surface world.

As for how to determine which world you are in, it is also very simple: find a window and look at the moon - the inner world is always at night, there is no dawn, and there is a blood moon in the sky.

I guess some people have realized after seeing this that the woods outside the village were actually covered by the inner world when it was "foggy" at night.

So when the rangers returned to the woods of the surface world during the day to look for them, they could not find the carriage and their dead companions that had fallen into the inner world.

Normally, if you want to get out of the foggy forest, you must find "specific rules", that is, the special rules for moving in the inner world, otherwise you will never get out.

The reason why Sun Yixie and his companions were able to break out in a very short time was because Huang Donglai, who was in the other world at the time, asked the organ spirit who called herself "Maria Agnes Raimondo" to help and guide everyone with music.

By the way, a large part of the above information was also provided to Huang Donglai and others by Mrs. Maria. Considering that her words are basically consistent with what Roman figured out after a long battle in this space, the credibility should be very high.

In addition to these things, another more important information for everyone in the surface world is naturally: the "elite team" previously sent by the ranger organization has been almost wiped out, and now only Roman is left.

From a certain perspective, the moment he learned this information, Sun Yixie had already achieved the minimum goal of this trip to Transylvania.

I wonder if you still remember that before we set off, Lao Feng said that the primary task of their team was just "investigation" and "rescue" was not something that had to be done.

And only after completing the "investigation" and "rescue", if there is still energy left, will they consider "dealing with" the evil forces here; and if they have trouble with even the "investigation", they can give up "rescue" if necessary.

In other words, if Sun Yixie immediately returned with this information to report to Lao Feng, Lao Feng could and would probably directly decide to give up the rescue and lead the remaining people out of the city the same way.

After getting out, they will contact and wait for other stronger demon hunter organizations, such as the "regular army" of the church, and then hand over all the information they know to the other party and cooperate with the other party's action arrangements. That is the most reasonable strategy.

After all, a responsible leader will not be inclined to lead the entire team to "fight" unless there is no escape route or it is absolutely necessary.

Before, when the situation was unclear, no matter how many people died, it was all life. But if you have found enough intelligence and know that there are no more people to be saved, but still go ahead and send them away, then it is not life, but a waste of life caused by human factors.

At least with Lao Feng's character, he would never give orders like this. Even if he and Roman were to switch positions today, he would not complain about the people outside retreating first instead of trying to rescue him. So if Sun Yixie brought the information back now, Lao Feng would probably really order a retreat first. As for how many other rangers would agree to retreat and how many would insist on rushing to the end... that's another matter.

On the other hand, Huang Donglai also learned something from this wave of intelligence exchange. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still a little scared when they actually confirmed it, that is, "In the eyes of Sun Yixie and others, Huang Donglai and others left the team more than half a month ago."

I think some careful viewers would have noticed that on the night Huang Donglai and Balde left the team, the circus was located in a wilderness two days' journey away from Targu Seques, a town away. But when we talk about the circus next time, the latter will have already arrived in San Simion. Then we talked a little about Huang Donglai, and when we came back to see the circus again, they had already arrived in Transylvania.

Obviously, although from the perspective of Huang Donglai and Balde, it seemed that only a short time had passed since they came to this world, a long time had passed at the circus.

During this period, the Gaoying Circus had already passed through several towns and performed several shows...Dan gradually integrated into the team during that process, and he didn't suddenly become familiar with everyone.

Someone will definitely ask here: Since the speed of time flow on both sides is so different, how can Sun and Huang communicate synchronously through the mirror at this moment?

The problem here undoubtedly lies in the "small chapel with the stone statue of the mysterious nun".

In fact, there is no difference in the speed of time flow between the two worlds, but when you are in a small chapel or near a stone statue of a nun... it is an exception.

Do you think that the wounds on your body can heal quickly and that you won’t feel hungry, tired, sleepy, etc., and that these things come without a price?

How is this possible...

To put it bluntly, all of these are exchanged for "time".

"Let the wound heal quickly" requires you to sacrifice "your own time", that is, your life span; the more serious your injury and the more times you need to recover, the more life span you need to overdraw.

The principle of "ignoring hunger, fatigue, and sleepiness" is to detach yourself from the "external time". Why are you not hungry or sleepy? Because you are standing next to the statue of the nun, which is equivalent to a static state for the surface world... And this detachment is not a matter of how long you feel, because the time in the outside world is much longer than you feel.

Maria told Huang Donglai and the others all of the above. Fortunately, Huang Donglai and Balde did not stay in the chapel for too long, and Huang Donglai had only recovered from a moderate injury once, so overall the impact was not significant.

But Roman is... more dangerous, because even he himself can't tell how long he has been wandering in the other world, and he can't count how many times he has healed his injuries next to the stone statue. It's possible that his lifespan has already been overdrawn, and once he leaves the other world, he will age rapidly and die.

However, even though he knew this would happen, Roman didn't say much, and continued to do what he was supposed to do with his almost cold attitude. Balde secretly admired his awareness.

"HEL——————P!"

Suddenly, a long roar came from outside the door, downstairs..., interrupting the communication between the few people.

"It's Coman." Dan immediately looked at Sun Yixie and said.

Indeed, the cry for help was definitely from that lord.

"Follow me." Sun Yixie didn't waste any words. While talking to Dan, he quickly gestured twice to Huang Donglai in the mirror. He didn't care whether the latter understood what he meant or not. He rushed out the next second.

After a moment, Brother Sun and Dan ran out of the lounge one after the other. Before they ran down the stairs, they saw Coman being chased by a wolfhound bigger than a tiger on the crescent-shaped terrace outside the door.
