Chapter 121 Crimson Memories
When I first saw it, it was hard to describe what it was. In Lynch's understanding, it was just a mass of indescribable matter. After staring at it for a few seconds, his brain just understood Understand the meaning of this mass of matter.
As I understood it, the mass of matter gradually changed in front of my eyes, shaping into a small statue.
A petite female figure holds the red moon up into the air with her right hand. Her long, smooth hair is spread behind her back. Her appearance cannot be seen clearly. It seems that there is only a ball of moonlight in the position of her appearance.
The crimson moonlight shone on Lin Qi's face, soft and warm, as if he had returned to the most peaceful place.
This feeling is too familiar and unforgettable.
Lin Qi soaked in the warm moonlight, and a series of long-dusted memories emerged in his mind.
At that time, it seemed that I had just ended my previous life. I woke up inexplicably in that strange and filthy environment, and my spiritual body was floating in the world filled with red mist.
Without any ability of autonomy, waking consciousness is the most terrible torture. Loneliness, despair, pain, and fear are the same day after day, making Lynch scream desperately in his consciousness every moment. Roaring, being on the edge of collapse at any time, as if he would fall into eternal madness at any time.
Until a red moon rose in the sky, and a beam of crimson moonlight enveloped Lynch's soul.
Obviously it was just the moon, but for some reason, Lin Qi had the illusion that someone was always with him. He was no longer desperate, no longer lonely, warm and safe.
Like intentional companionship, the moon never disappeared again, allowing Lin Qi to enjoy the immersion of moonlight every moment. His desperate soul gradually calmed down, and spent his time floating quietly in the red mist. I don’t know how many thousands of years.
'Neighbor. ’
【I am. 】
‘Will you always be here from now on? ’
Silent in consciousness.
‘Will you always be here from now on? ’
[Oh, I’ll try my best. 】
‘Let’s do our best together? ’
[Hmm. 】
The corners of his mouth turned up, and a kind of joy and happiness emerged spontaneously. Lin Qi himself didn't understand the reason, but he seemed to have an urge to hum in his heart.
Lin Qi coughed dryly to suppress the harassment in his mind, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand towards the statue.
Looking at this action, Rick Knight’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.
"You, you, you, you, are you going to touch the sacred memories directly like this?"
"Huh?"
"Even if it is a meteor god, it is still an ancient god. Bathing, meditating, praying..."
"Oh, my goddess doesn't mind, I just asked , she ignored me, presumably because she didn’t object.”
"How did the Meteor God respond to you? You fellow soul-changers of the Meteor God are really..."
Rick Knight gritted his teeth when he saw this. For the believers of the Lord God Church, Lynch's behavior of directly picking up the idol was still too much. It’s so irritating, it’s simply disrespectful to the gods. But the sacred memory already belonged to Lynch, and he could only watch this guy holding the statue in his hand and playing with it.
It feels very weird, and I can’t describe what kind of material it is.
The essence of the statue is actually the same as those strange objects. They are echoes of memories from illusory dreams, not real substances.
But those ordinary mysterious objects, after being condensed in this world, will appear in materials that can be understood by the world according to the rules of this world, just like the police officer’s steel sword in Viking’s Trial, or Lynch’s Inference The passion of a fiery lady.
But the Holy Mystery is different. Its essence has far exceeded the scope that living beings can accept. Any successful understanding will be completely assimilated by the brilliance of the gods. Therefore, what people perceive can only be so incomprehensible. materials, and unpredictable images.
Weird, but true.
‘These are your memories? ’
[Hmm. 】
'Can I see it? ’
After a long silence in the consciousness, the gentle voice whispered again:
[Stare at it. 】
Lin Qi's eyes were focused on the moonlight, and the next moment, his entire consciousness seemed to be pulled out of his body.
I feel like I am overlooking a vast world.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but I have watched the world gradually change from an empty and lonely barren land to a colorful one.
From swimming fish, insects, giant beasts, birds, to intelligent creatures that have opened up their spiritual intelligence, more and more creatures are walking in the world, making the wild land full of vitality. Watch them being born, watch them grow, watch them be reborn, watch them die.
Watch them build magnificent cities, watch them use their gorgeous temples to express gratitude to the heavens.
Lin Qi's heart was filled with joy, just like watching his own child grow up day by day. However, gradually, the direction of the world began to become strange.
The first thing that broke out was the ubiquitous plague, which gradually spread to the entire world, spreading fear into the hearts of every creature.
The next thing that broke out was a cruel and tragic war. The war quickly got out of control, turning magnificent cities into ruins overnight.
The third thing that broke out was famine around the world. Years of wars that lasted for many years made people have no intention of farming, crops failed, and people died of hunger all over the land.
What finally greeted us was despair and death. The ground was littered with corpses, and people’s hearts were filled with fear and madness.
It is this endless fear and madness that come together to awaken another world, which is a community composed of the nightmares of all living things, which is a dreamland that did not originally exist.
The dreamland originally overlapped with the real world, and existed in opposite directions, but at this time, being called by the fear and despair of the real world, the dreamland became more and more real, gradually eroding the real world, and deep in the dreamland The horror and weirdness of the world, as well as the erosion of the fantasy world, gradually penetrate into the real world, leaving the current world, which is already on the verge of despair, no longer able to see any hope.
Heartbroken.
Lin Qi watched everything going out of control, watched those creatures wailing and dying, watched each prosperous population disappear, and felt like his heart was twisting in a knife. I want to save them, I want to stop them. All of this was the strongest thought in his heart.
At the moment when he felt the sadness was uncontrollable, a hand suddenly tapped on his shoulder, bringing him to consciousness.
"What are you, Mr. Detective, why are you suddenly stunned?"
It's Rick Knight.
"I..."
Lin Qi finally woke up and realized that he was still standing at the pier, staring at the memory of the red moon. Unknowingly, his face was already covered with tears, and Deep in his consciousness, a faint sigh was heard.
“Nothing, the eyes got into the statue.”
Lin Qi forced a smile and wiped the tears from his face, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
It turns out that this is the real situation at the end of the First Age. It turns out that the few cold records in the records are filled with despair and death.
‘Oh, what I felt was how you felt at that time? ’
【You can understand it this way. 】
‘That is to say, it is related, but not completely? ’
[Hmm. 】
‘Then the question comes back to me, this all happened in the past, what about now? What is your purpose and what do you want me to do for you? ’
After a long silence in my mind, a very familiar answer rang out.
【I will be by your side and witness every choice you make on your journey. 】
'Stop, stop, stop, I'm tired of hearing this, you...hiss...' Lin Qi suddenly had an idea, 'So your explanation is not an excuse? You are just telling me repeatedly that you are not prepared to forcefully ask me to do anything, and that you are willing to leave every choice to me to make my own decision. ’
After a long time: [...Hmm. 】
‘Very difficult? ’
【Um. 】
‘Need help? ’
Quietly.
‘Oh, I understand, since you don’t want to tell me your expectations, then I will continue to show you every choice I have, awkward neighbor. ’
Poking the blurred face of the statue, Lynch looked up and saw Rick staring at his fingers with a twisted expression.
"It's nothing, just a mistake. I'm going to go home now and study this sacred memory. My goddess is too awkward..."
Lin Qi laughed dryly and hid the statue in his pocket. Just as he was about to explain something, he saw a large group of reporters carrying tattered equipment. They had also been rescued ashore and were surrounding them with gleaming eyes.
Poor, I forgot that they still haven’t been sent away. Can I take back my previous promise? It’s so troublesome. Or I should just run away and leave it to Rick...
Pa, A hand was placed on his shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Knight Rick's meaningful smile.
If you want to be beautiful, you can't run away.
