Chapter 36 Reality in the Cracks
In a dark underground passage.

Sean followed Benjamin into the deep underground of the Night Watch headquarters. This area covered a very large area, and a part of it led directly to the church area.

"I can only take you here."

Benjamin stared at Xiao En in front of him and said softly, "The place below is where only high-sequence extraordinary people can enter."

There were eternal flames burning on both sides of the corridor.

Xiao En nodded silently.

He glanced at Benjamin, bowed slightly, and turned to enter the dark door in front.

There are strange reliefs on the walls on all four sides here, which looks very gloomy and dark. The height of the gate is about five meters. After passing through it, independent underground secret rooms appear in front of you. Some are entangled with heavy chains, and some are engraved with complicated mysterious runes.

"Sean?"

A cold female voice said, "Please follow me."

"Don't touch anything nearby."

"This is where the seal is kept."

The woman who was speaking was very tall, about two meters tall, but her back was slightly hunched, with long gray hair that almost dragged on the ground. She was wearing a classic black robe and holding a lamp in her hand, walking in front of Xiao En to lead the way.

Sealed object?
Xiao En looked around the underground secret room with a little curiosity.

Rare objects, holy relics, and sealed objects.

These are the only three types of supernatural items he currently knows about. Rare items are regular supernatural equipment, but they are still very rare. Holy relics are mostly left behind by supernatural beings, and some are from former high-level night watchmen. Although they also require a price to use, they are not that dangerous.

Most of the sealed objects are extremely dangerous.

Generally, they are high-level out-of-control people who have died, powerful evil creatures that have entered the real world, and some unknown strange existences.

The cost of using the seal is very high!

Normally, the Night's Watch would not use the power of Seals. Even the Death Watchers had to apply if they wanted to use Seals. Apart from the top brass of the Night's Watch, not many people knew how many Seals there were underground in Dorne.

Unless there is a huge crisis, the Night's Watch can at most request the use of holy relics.

After a long time.

A deep gate appeared before my eyes.

"Mr. Men." The tall, hunchbacked woman said respectfully, "The person has been brought here."

The outline of a human face appeared on the door in front of me.

Mr. Men glanced at Xiao En and slowly opened a dim light door.

The woman next to him said in a deep voice: "Go ahead."

"The butcher is waiting for you."

Xiao En took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the dim light door in front of him.

Weird country.

That desperate place.

He is back.

When Xiao En's vision returned, he saw the burly butcher in front of him. A gloomy chill penetrated his bones and made him miss the warm real world for a moment.

Weird country.

The butcher didn't say anything. He just stared at him, turned around and walked into the dark and cold corridor.

Xiao En followed silently.

The weird kingdom is indeed colder than the real world, not in terms of temperature, but in terms of the bone-chilling feeling.

The butcher walked in front, and Xiao En followed silently behind.

After a long time.

When a monastery-like mausoleum appeared in front of them, the butcher slowly asked, "How does the real world feel?"

Xiao En was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It's better than here."

The butcher smiled. He pushed open the heavy door, walked up the stairs, picked up his apron, and then lifted the heavy iron hook with one hand, hung the pillar of flesh and blood on it, held the boning knife and began to work. He said in a deep voice: "Of course, after all, that is the real world."

Xiao En hesitated to speak.

The butcher looked back at him and said calmly, "You seem to have a lot of doubts?"

Xiao En nodded and said, "Yes."

The contrast between the real world and the weird kingdom is too great!

This drastic contrast has made him feel a little uncomfortable until now.

Xiao En pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Why is there such a big gap between the real world and here?"

The butcher did not answer his question directly. He worked seriously, and the muscles on his broad back were like hard rocks. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know a mental hospital?"

Xiao En nodded, slightly puzzled, "I know."

The butcher continued his work, cutting up the pillar of flesh and blood with his knife, and said in a deep voice: "If there is a mental hospital, all the most vicious lunatics are imprisoned in it."

“But there’s a guy in there.”

"He looks very normal, clocks in on time, works hard, loves life very much, and is full of enthusiasm and hope for everything."

"So in your eyes?"

"Who do you think is the scariest person imprisoned in this mental hospital?"

A flash of lightning seemed to flash through Xiao En's mind.

He felt his scalp tingling for a moment, and murmured, "The one who looks the most normal!"

The butcher nodded and said, "Yes."

“They think so too!”

The butcher took out the spine of the Pillar of Flesh and Blood and said calmly: "Order is the cornerstone of the real world."

"They are afraid of reality, just as we are afraid of them."

"Perhaps in their eyes, the real world is the crazy one, because everyone in the weird kingdom is as crazy as them."

The butcher packed the pieces of the Pillar of Flesh and Blood into black bags.

He picked up the heavy iron hook again, turned his back to Xiao En and said, "The job of the Night Watch is to maintain order in the real world."

"Don't let it be destroyed by any supernatural factors."

"Because there is no order, there is no reality."

The crazies will come rushing in!

At that time, even if there were miracles of mankind, miracles of destiny, and the twelve realms of Nirvana in the clock, they might not be able to protect the real world.

The normality of the real world is a shock in this crazy and desperate country!
“It’s an absolutely crazy design.”

Xiao En seemed to understand something. The twelve realms of Nirvana in the clock, the bizarre kingdom of madness and despair, the normal and peaceful real world, just as the butcher said, in the eyes of evil creatures, the completely normal real world is the most abnormal, and there may be "great terror" in it.

And, there may really be a 'big terror'!
In the dark ages, those who led mankind out of despair were either geniuses or madmen.

In the land of weirdness, madness doesn’t go away, it just moves.

There is a group of people who endure the madness of reality!

Xiao En was silent for a long, long time.

He looked at the butcher's sturdy back, was silent for a long time, and asked the question that concerned him most: "Does the real world really exist?"

Yes.

Does the real world really exist?
He wants to know the answer.

Xiao En was afraid that all this was fake, false, and a dream, like a bubble, in this desperate, crazy, and bizarre country.

The butcher paused for a moment while holding the knife. He said without a doubt, "It really exists!"

"We have paid too much to protect reality."

"It is the last refuge of mankind!"

Sean believed the butcher.

He looked out the window at the gray sky and whispered, "Where is the real world?"

"The distance of the mausoleum does not seem to be reality."

The butcher glanced at him, put down the heavy hook, and said slowly: "Reality lies in the cracks of the world."

"here."

“It’s a high wall that protects reality!”

Sean's guess was correct, the real world and the weird kingdom were not on the same level.

He took off his hat and coat.

Xiao En picked up the heavy black bag and started working. Before walking out of the room, he looked at the butcher and asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Without the butcher, he would not have been able to become a disciple of Lady Hecate.

The butcher smiled and said calmly: "I hope that one day you can sit on the table for humans."

When a wizard's legendary destiny is born, countless evil creatures will tremble in fear.
