Chapter 247: Circular Exploration
Above the gray fog, the ancient temple-style buildings stand quietly.
Klein, who noticed some abnormality by coincidence, entered this mysterious space after lunch, trying to confirm a guess in his heart.
He picked up the displayed round belly pen, paused for two seconds and wrote:
"I was involved in a series of coincidences made by the seal '0-08'."
Putting down the dark red pen, Klein held the silver chain in his left hand and unfolded the divination step by step.
At the end, he opened his eyes and looked at the Lingpang who was close to him.
The citrine pendant is still and does not rotate.
This indicates that divination failed!
It may be that the conditions are insufficient and the divination cannot be done, or that "0-08" has made a confrontation... Similar results will occur in both situations... Klein changed to different statements and pointed to different targets, and divination failed in the end.
He tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, hesitating whether he would go to Hongrong Wei Manor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
If there is indeed no "0-08" or similar force to arrange these things, then my sudden escape will definitely arouse Prince Edsack's suspicion. No, absconding may not be successful. Prince Edsack's people live next door... Of course, it is still very simple for me to find an opportunity to escape when I go out, but is it necessary to get to this level?
Tomorrow and the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, I will honestly meet Prince Edsack. If I hand over the task normally, I will "leave" Beckland without eye-catching. And his prince, his prince, should not force me, a wild extraordinary person, to accomplish things that are too difficult...
If there are really seals or demigods similar to "0-08" that affect recent events, judging from my experience, I should be just a supporting role who accidentally entered the stage and has not received enough attention. In this case, absconding is equivalent to telling the other party that I have noticed the existence of "you"! I have a big problem!
In this way, relying on the ability of the "faceless man" may not be able to get rid of the "gaze" that locks himself...
The best way is to go to Hongrong Wei Manor calmly, use the most normal process to exit the stage, end the curtain with decentness, and fade out of the "visit" from unknown places...
Combining the two elements, Klein finally decided to pretend that he had found nothing, handed over the task according to the scheduled plan, and "leave" Beckland.
…………
In the open-air camp where flames are burning, they are always on duty.
Derrick Berger leaned against a stone pillar and fell asleep to recover his strength.
At this moment, he dreamed of endless gray and white mist, dreamed of an ancient chair located at the highest point in the center, and a faint figure sitting on the chair, looking down at everything.
"Mr. 'Fool'..." Derick shouted out the name in his heart by reciting it.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice from the "fool":
"Prepare for the party."
Yes, Mr. "Follower", Derrick answered silently, counting his heartbeat silently.
His eyes never opened, just as everything that happened just was just a dream interlude.
There was still a long time before departure, enough to finish the Tarot party... He thought with great gratitude.
He originally thought that he would miss the party when he entered the Exploration Team.
After 1,000 heartbeats, Derick waited for a little more time before he felt like he had entered the quiet and peaceful temple.
He had just opened his eyes and suddenly scene after scene flashed back in his mind, as if there was an external force that instantly re-injected all the lost memories into his head.
Those scenes include: collapsed city walls; white and blue buildings; the temple of the "Fallen Creator" similar to the style of Silver City; detailed descriptions of the arrival of the doomsday and the murals of the "Fallen Creator" that resist the six evil gods and protect the remaining humans; the beautiful and dangerous "mushrooms"; and the unusually weird yellow-haired boy Jack.
This kind of scene is repeated over and over again, five times, but each time there are some differences in details:
The first time, outside the Falling Creator Temple, all the animal skin lanterns were extinguished, almost causing a tragedy. The second time, someone could not control himself and almost swallowed the "mushroom". Fortunately, Chief Colin stopped it in time. The third time, the little boy Jackdo told a passage, that was, he and his father were pursuing the sanctuary of the Creator in the ocean where there was no limit, but encountered a huge storm. The fourth time, Joshua was seriously injured by Jack, a little boy who had no signs. The fifth time, the temple completely collapsed and blocked the exit of the underground area.
Each time, the ending is with the "Demon Hunter" Colin killing the little boy Jack, and the beginning is to rest in the camp and prepare to enter the ruined city, connecting from beginning to end, and repeating the cycle.
We have explored the temple five times... We have been living in this experience, and there is no way to really end! The more Derrick understands his sudden extra memories, the more frightened he feels and the more creepy he feels.
"Justice" Audrey, who was sitting on the other side of the bronze table, originally wanted to say hello to Mr. "Follower" and everyone happily and briskly as usual, but she glanced at her eyes and immediately found that the little "Sun" was in a wrong mood, and immediately asked:
"Mr. 'Sun', what happened? Exploring the truth, uh, the action of falling Creator's Temple was not going well?"
"Sun" Derrick seemed to have seized hope and quickly described the incident roughly, and finally said:
"After the little boy was cleared by the 'Chief', we all closed our eyes and woke up in the camp outside the city, preparing to start a new exploration without any previous memories.
“This process was repeated five times, only slightly different in details.
"If it weren't for Mr. Fool' reminder, I wouldn't even know that I've been living a repetitive life during this period."
He naturally believed that the memories that appeared after coming to the gray fog were from the reminder of Mr. "The Fool", so he stood up and gave a solemn salute to the vague figure sitting at the top of the bronze table.
I still listened to your description before I understood what happened... "Fool" Klein has been a little confused since just now.
He maintained his original posture and nodded gently in response.
Without understanding the reason for the problem, the superiors cannot express their opinions easily or speak rashly... Klein secretly reviewed the knowledge he had when he was a keyboard strongman in his previous life.
Seeing Mr. Fool, the deep ancient well without waves, Derrick felt much more at ease, and felt that things could be solved in the end.
He turned to the "Hangered Man", "World", "Justice" and "Magician" and asked sincerely:
"Do you know the root of the problem? How to solve it?"
The enthusiastic "justice" Audrey instinctively wanted to answer, but found that she had no clue and could not even guess.
"Magician" Fors is in a similar state to her.
Klein has rich insights from the earth and has read many novels that stayed on the same day. He originally wanted to manipulate the "world" to give ideas and give everyone the inspiration for thinking, but after thinking carefully, he chose to be low-key and prepare to observe first.
"The Hanging Man" Alger was silent for a long time after listening to the description of "Sun", and then said carefully:
"I can only think of two possibilities. One is that you have encountered nightmares or hallucinations that are more than the level of demigods and half-humans. After you regain your memory with the help of Mr. Fool, you should immediately notice something wrong once you return to the real world. In this way, the problem will be easily solved.
"Secondly, you are forced or actively entering a strange space or state at a certain node, where the time remains flowing to a certain degree, but it is fixed in a certain range, reciprocating, equilibrium continues, that is, relatively still.
"In this case, there are not many ways to end the cycle. Either have external forces to forcefully break that balance, or find the key points that twist the connection between time."
External power forcibly breaking that balance? Hearing this, "Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Forsy and "Sun" Derick both subconsciously glanced at the calm and leisurely Mr. "Fool" at the top of the bronze table.
No, I can't always ask Mr. "Follower" for help... He didn't speak directly, he probably wanted to test my ability to handle such things... Derrick had some clarity and thought about it:
"Mr. 'Hangered Man', let's assume that it is the latter case first. What do you think is the key point of connecting the front and back time distortion?"
Without waiting for the "hanging man" to answer, "Justice" Audrey guessed with interest:
"That little boy Jack?
"When facing him, you can't deal with it by killing him?"
"The Hanging Man" Alger nodded:
“There is this possibility.”
He thought about it for a moment and said hesitantly:
"The description of the Sun to Jack and his father reminded me of something."
He turned to Miss Justice:
"Did I mention that I once hunted an Aurora 'listener' on the sea, whose goal to go out to sea was to find the sanctuary of the 'real Creator'."
Audrey recalled carefully and said with uncertainty:
"It seems like this is happening."
"The Hanging Man" Alger immediately said in a deep voice:
"That 'listener' also brought his child, and his age was very close to Jack described by the 'Sun'."
"You mean, did that Jack come from your world around Silver City?" "Sun" Derrick asked in surprise.
After a brief precipitation, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Because this means that the area where Silver City is located has not been completely blocked, and there is still a chance to connect with the normal world where "Hangered Man" and "Justice" are located!
"I can only say that there is a possibility." The "Hangered Man" could not give a positive answer.
He thought about it and suggested:
"You can find an opportunity to mention the Sunya Sea, the Kingdom of Ruon and the port city in front of the little boy Jack, and may have different reactions. Of course, try to avoid the chief of your Silver City.
"Also, the key point is not necessarily the little boy Jack. You have to consider other possibilities. If you explain the specific situation, such as the detailed content of the mural, maybe we can find something useful."
