Chapter 244 Trap
There is something wrong with this world.
This is the source of fear and doubt that the Luke family has been living in every day these past few days.
Rand, Fredman, Salter, Lorne, everyone knows that there is a vast world outside, but no one has ever left the city, and no one has ever seen the outside world.
More importantly, everyone thinks it is reasonable and no one is interested in discussing this issue, including the Luke family a few days ago.
Until one day, Luke saw the woman.
A down-and-out clerk in a commercial bank lives the same life day after day. He is overwhelmed by daily chores and the courage of life. He doesn't want to go home after get off work, so he sneaks into the cheapest tavern in the name of working overtime. Here, while letting alcohol numb the brain, I fantasize about having an exciting adventure. Even if it is just a dream in the end, it can add a touch of brightness to this boring life.
Maybe this is not the tragedy of every middle-aged man, but at least it is the tragedy of Mr. Luke Helm. He sits in the same position every day, drinks the same bad wine, and asks the same bartender Complaining about the same troubles.
Until he met the girl in gorgeous clothes with a black fan covering her face, and a choice was placed in front of him.
Not red and blue pills, not following the rabbit, just a weird book.
Or return the book to the girl with the black fan, continue your original muddled and unchanging life, be overwhelmed by the trivial matters of life every day, and live a boring life.
Or open that book and let some new ideas and changes appear in your life.
Choose one of the two, it's so easy.
Luke, who has always been timid and cowardly, has only ever dared to fantasize in his mind. However, today, perhaps due to the anesthesia of alcohol, Luke drank three glasses of strong liquor in a row, and then opened a book called "The Goddess of the Black Fan" Ancient books.
That was the last bit of sanity he had left that day, and then he was hit by the rising alcohol and completely lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was already back at home. The ancient books and the girl with a black fan were as if they had never existed. Even the bartender and other drinkers at the bar had no impression of it, and they all thought that Luke was drunk.
There is no trace of change, every day is still mediocre, everything seems like a dream.
Until one day, a dream appeared.
It was not his, but his daughter Nora's, and the little girl kept having the same dream for several days.
The little girl told the Lukes about this, but no one took it seriously. Life was already heavy enough, so how could they bother to care about inexplicable dreams. If you have time to worry about this kind of thing, why not earn a few more crowns to buy an old dress for Nora, since she is growing taller again.
But a few days later, the same dream spread to the whole family.
The three people dreamed of a beautiful wilderness every night, with green grass and flowers everywhere.
It was a deserted wilderness on the outskirts of the country. The three of them had gone camping there before.
So, the three people who were troubled by the dream decided to take time to go there again to try to figure out what was there.
However, no one knows the answer to this question, because the three of them went and came back, but they had no impression of what they did, what they saw and heard.
But since then, the family's life has gradually changed.
Things that I had never doubted began to become strange. Many knowledge about the world appeared in my mind inexplicably. In my sleep, I sometimes dreamed of a world without red mist. The little girl Nora You may even see weird monsters walking on the streets at any time.
Fear prevented the two women from going out, which made Luke even more miserable. He spent the past few days getting drunk in the bar every night, talking about his experiences, hoping that he would have the opportunity to see the girl with the black fan again. It can exchange for a dull but safe life for a family of three. "Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Now that the dice has been thrown, no matter whether the result is good or bad, we can only accept it calmly."
Lynch had put down his pistol at this time, and A family of three sat together. The three of them had been tortured by the strange changes in the past few days and almost collapsed. When Lin Qi showed interest in their affairs, they were like grabbing a life-saving straw and honestly told their experiences. Read it again.
"Use my shallow mystical knowledge to understand. An unknown person gave you an ancient book that looked suspicious at first glance, and you read it without hesitation. After reading, signs appeared, and you followed it. Did you do it? Not only did you do it, but you also took the whole family with you?"
The family of three nodded in agreement.
You guys are just nodding your heads, that’s an honor, isn’t it? Can you have some brains? Even if I haven’t experienced mysterious events before I traveled through time, I still know that there is definitely something wrong with this thing. A dog picks up food on the roadside and knows how to smell it before eating it. If you don't even smell it and just do it, you are not as smart as the dog on the roadside.
Lynch was so angry that the girl with the black fan in Luke's mouth indirectly threw the knowledge representing the origin of the world to Luke's family. This was definitely an act full of malice and would be the end of the world for anyone in the current world. disaster.
According to his description, the man was dressed exactly the same as the monster Lynch just encountered. They must be together, or even the same person. They even have the same style of acting, and their most urgent desire to find the target. Then he throws out a malicious alternative, letting the target get into huge trouble, while he enjoys it and even adds to the fire.
Can these guys do so many things just to watch the fun? Are there really such idle evil gods in the world?
[Haha...]
"Forget it, that's it." Lynch sighed, "So, the book is not in your hands now, and you don't remember anything in the book?"
“The book has disappeared. I only remember the title of the book: Black Fan Goddess. I have no other impressions at all. I have recalled it many times without success.”
"Then we have no choice but to approach it from a more troublesome angle." Lynch frowned and thought for a while before saying, "The impact of that book awakened the memory deep in your soul, so you remembered that wilderness. "
"No, Mr. Hunter, why didn't I dream about it? Nora has never read the book."
"The concept of home itself is a good carrier of mystery. The bloodline and the common ancestral memories of the inheritors, coupled with the thorough thinking of children, are easier to penetrate, so she was several days earlier than the two of you. In short, the ancient book opened up memories, and the act of going to the wilderness directly. Lead to what you will encounter later.”
"What happened to us?" Luke asked distressedly.
“I estimate that there must be a huge secret hidden in that place. You have inadvertently seen the original knowledge of this world, and this is what I lack. I need these things now to help me understand the world. Find a way back home. So I hope we start working together now, everyone does what they need, and I try to figure everything out and help you get your old life back."
"What should we do?"
"You three, get ready. I'm going to call a taxi. We'll set off in a moment to the place where you have an outing. Your problems mainly arise there. If you want to know what happened, it's best to go back to the place where it happened. An effective way."
"Huh? But it's so late?"
Luke and Clara were stunned, but Nora was still confused and didn't know what happened. Going on an outing, cheers immediately.
"Changes may occur every minute, so we can't delay any longer. I even think it's a bit late to go now."
"But Clara and Nora...do they need to go?"
< br> "You want them to stay and then run into those monsters who are chasing you?" Lynch sighed and explained helplessly, "Don't be naive, now the three of you are one, no one can escape. It's an accident. So hurry up, I don't have much time, I must solve it as soon as possible, otherwise what if those black fans..."
"Don't you think it's too late now? Outsider."
Boom, the next moment, there was a loud bang outside the window, and the entire window and the window sill were blown out by the shock wave.
