What's on the moon?
That's a good question.
Mr. Door's murmurs appeared at night, reaching their peak during the full moon and blood moon. It would be strange if the Abrahams didn't think the appearance of these murmurs was related to the moon.
The moon that Olson spoke of not only referred to the moon in the real world but also had a mystical significance.
And whether in reality or mystically, the moon generally represents...
If the Abrahams only thought the Goddess of the Night was the problem and was targeting them, that would be easier to deal with. After all, the Goddess's honorific included the title of 'Scarlet Lord,' and most proper rituals pointed to the Goddess of the Night.
Ah, of course, if they weren't proper, they knew of other entities and if they tried to understand and contact them...
The Abrahams should prepare themselves to want to have children today and also want to have children tomorrow.
Have one today, have one tomorrow, have as many as they wanted, and have them however they wanted!
Moreover, was there no gender restriction on having children?
Thinking of this, Tang's mouth twitched slightly.
The high sequences of the Abraham Apprentice pathway were completely blocked by the existence of Mr. Door alone.
"Among our family, the elders," Olson's expression was somewhat ashen, as if recalling something he didn't want to remember, "after those high-sequence individuals died, the echoes of the murmurs also began to gradually affect the mid-sequence Extraordinary individuals."
"We tried some methods, and the current conclusion is that apart from the Abraham family's own descendants, others who advance to high sequences, although they can hear faint things, their reactions are much smaller than ours."
High sequences influencing low sequences was inevitable, but with the Goddess's isolation and special protection, apart from the Abraham descendants, others advancing to high sequences wouldn't easily fall victim to Mr. Door's murmurs.
But the high sequences of the Door pathway, such as Sequence Three, the Traveler, had such... advancement rituals...
Wandering the starry sky, going out at this time would truly mean being eaten without even scraps left.
Okay, the high sequences of this pathway could be considered废了 (useless), with the highest probably only reaching Sequence Four, and this was the case even for non-Abraham Extraordinary individuals.
"The only method we currently know is probably to find a place that can shield the moon."
Olson exhaled, sitting cross-legged on the ground with the travel notes on his lap. "As long as we shield the moon—I mean a place completely isolated from the moon in both the spirit world and the real world—if we can find such a place, perhaps it could greatly alleviate this influence, right?"
Although these were all family secrets, Olson didn't hide much.
As one of the outstanding younger generation members of the Abraham family, and with the death of high-sequence Extraordinary individuals, his say in the family wasn't low. Moreover, the elders had already prepared for the worst. If the Abraham family was truly destined for final destruction, it would be better to spread these secrets now, have them recorded, and serve as a warning to future generations.
Their family was very clear on how the history and truth沉淀ed (settled) in the flames of war disappeared over the long years, leaving only fragments; they also understood that if they couldn't solve this matter, they would sooner or later become like the high-sequence Extraordinary individuals of the Abraham family, going mad until death.
Of course, another important point was that Tang was trustworthy.
"Um, I have a small suggestion, I don't know if you've tried it."
Tang also sat down. "Before that, I want to ask, Olson, are you saying that the murmurs appear when you enter the night, that is, when the 'moon appears,' or is it that 'even if it's cloudy and the moon is blocked, as long as the sun sets and it's dark,' that's when the murmurs appear?"
"Ah..."
Olson hesitated. He recalled carefully, frowning. "It should be the latter."
That meant as long as the sun set, regardless of whether the moon was blocked, Mr. Door's murmurs would appear.
"Then I have a suggestion, I don't know if it will work."
"Tell me."
Tang said, "Travelers can bring people with them, right? And Recorders can mostly record journeys."
"Yes."
"As long as you expend enough spirituality and have specific spirit world coordinates, then Travelers can travel through the spirit world and make long-distance journeys in a short amount of time, right?"
"Yes..."
Tang asked sincerely, "Are you afraid of the cold?"
Olson: ...??
"Well, I guess so."
Why did the topic suddenly shift to this?
"Afraid of being alone?"
"Well, not really."
"Do you have any elderly or children at home?"
Olson was taken aback by the questions. "Yes, I do, but if they're not Extraordinary, they shouldn't be affected by the murmurs..."
"In that case, I have a good place to go."
Tang said.
His initial thought was that since Mr. Door's murmurs followed the moon, then the Traveler could just take people to follow the sun.
If Mr. Door's murmurs couldn't catch up with them, then no matter how much influence was exerted on the moon, it wouldn't affect the Abraham Extraordinary individuals under the sun.
But then he thought again. First, the Traveler's spirituality might not withstand the consumption. Second, from east to west, according to the layout of the entire world, the Land Abandoned by God (the East Continent) and the West Continent were inaccessible to Travelers. Similarly, trying to enter them forcefully would lead to unimaginable dangers.
And this method required a complete path from east to west with places for the Traveler to resupply and rest, and the trajectory and time of each journey had to be precisely determined without any error.
So, this plan was rejected in Tang's mind after he went through it once.
"You guys should go to the South Pole or the North Pole."
Olson: "...Huh?"
He was slow for a few seconds, hesitant about the words Tang said.
The land of the far south? The land of the far north?
What kind of places were those?
Tang stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and said somewhat jokingly, "Those two places have daylight for half the year and complete darkness for the other half."
"Although there might also be dangers there, going there, logically speaking, even if there's really something on the moon, it won't be able to catch you."
Although according to the current history and geography, the North and South Poles had not yet been discovered by humans.
Whether that region still had formed islands or glaciers, and whether it had sufficient resources for human survival, was also unknown.
And how to obtain the spirit world coordinates, and whether to believe what he said and have family members bear the risk to find an unknown land... these were questions the Abrahams needed to consider.
"Ah, of course, I have another suggestion." Tang clapped his hands, shaking off the dirt. "I happen to have a Sealed Artifact here, um, it should be able to shield the murmurs, considered a temporary solution to the urgent problem."
Come on, he had also prepared a happy Traveler's house for the Abrahams.
'Scheming Host.'
"Tit for tat."
