Lu Mingfei was slightly stunned. He did not expect that he would meet the postman who gave him the monocle so soon.
The main reason is that the postman was too hasty last time.
She just handed him a monocle, said a bunch of mysterious things, and then ran off on a bicycle. She didn't know why he came to see her.
It's impossible to come over here to entertain him because he saw him wandering around casually on the street.
And Lu Mingfei also felt that although the postman was very weird and looked like a naughty kid who needed a beating, he should know a lot of things.
After all, he himself said that his uncle was a resident of Utopia, and he might be able to get some inside information.
But when I think about this.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frown.
The horrific scene he saw in his single eye was still lingering in his mind, seeming to remind him that everything here was not what he saw on the surface.
Maybe this person was warning him something.
but……
Lu Mingfei was more willing to believe that this was a prank.
Maybe they just do some tricks on the glasses, and then let the user see some special scenes. There is indeed such a special magic prop.
However, because the monocle was accidentally broken by him, Lu Mingfei was unable to confirm whether the eye had been tampered with afterward.
Lu Mingfei didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Because the people he met were all so gentle.
The proprietress of the hotel took them in who were penniless during the storm. Mrs. Wendy in the bakery saw that he was pitiful and gave him a nice drink. Even the customers were very kind and kind.
.
Everything seems so gentle.
But...what if?
The postman couldn't have handed him a monocle for no reason.
It can also be emphasized that you should not wear this monocle in front of people from Utopia. Obviously, the other party must know some inside information, otherwise it would be impossible to warn him like that.
Then……
I just put on a monocle.
Lu Mingfei is still very confused and confused until now, but fortunately, the culprit who caused all this is standing in front of him with a smile.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and stared at the smiling postman walking towards him: "Why were you leaving in such a hurry this morning?"
"Because I'm afraid of being chased by the owner of the bicycle." The postman said this without changing his face. "I told you before, my bicycle was handed over from someone else's door. In case it is lost to the owner,
If you see it, wouldn’t it mean that you are going to be in bad luck?”
This postman's shameless and indifferent attitude was really hard for Lu Mingfei to deal with. He had never seen such a shameless person.
You can talk about stealing things so naturally.
Lu Mingfei really admired him.
"..." Lu Mingfei didn't know how to answer for a while. Even the question he originally wanted to ask was suppressed, and a new question popped up: "Where is the bicycle you stole?"
"I've been found."
The postman said confidently: "It was too obvious to ride that bicycle. If you were not careful, your whereabouts might be exposed. Then I conveniently left it at the door of someone's house and ran away."
"..."
Lu Mingfei was about to speak but stopped.
It seems that if you continue to talk to this guy, any nonsense will be useless.
This guy didn't seem to feel that his stealing behavior was shameful at all, but was proud of it.
A moment.
Lu Mingfei even felt that this was the case. He believed that this postman was a bit unreasonable. Maybe this unreliable guy was really deceiving him.
If he believed it so foolishly, wouldn't it mean that his cerebellum was hypoxic?
"You seem to have broken the monocle I gave you." Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was about to suffer from pain, the postman kindly asked first.
"Didn't I remember that I told you not to wear these glasses in front of the Utopians? It seems that you still wear them..."
"Yes...that's right."
Lu Mingfei then rediscovered the topic he originally wanted to ask about.
"What the hell is going on with that monocle?!"
"Oh, since you have already brought it, it doesn't matter if I tell you." The postman smiled mysteriously, "Obviously, you seem to have seen the other side of Utopia inside. Tell me, what exactly did you see?"
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, staring at the postman in front of him, as if trying to catch some clues from his expression. But unfortunately, this guy's expression was so cheerful and frivolous from beginning to end.
No changes appear.
"I saw many black thin lines. Those lines spread out from everyone's body and spread to infinity..." Lu Mingfei's voice paused slightly, thinking of Mrs. Wendy's terrifying face.
, gritted his teeth, and finally continued, "I also saw...the originally kind and kind old lady and the gentleman customers all turned into ferocious monsters..."
Lu Mingfei's voice seemed a little trembling. It was obvious that he didn't believe everything he saw at that time, and he didn't believe that the people he came into contact with were monsters.
Obviously they have their own life trajectory, their own warm family, they care about the little things, they also enjoy the delicious food and all the good things in life.
He is obviously a normal human being, how could he be a monster?
Until now, Lu Mingfei still didn't believe that what he saw was real.
"I didn't expect you to see so much from those glasses." The postman pinched the frame of his monocle with a smile, "I thought you would faint from the excitement after seeing some black lines.
.After all, there are some things that cannot be observed. If you don't have enough life level and look directly at it, you will probably have a mental breakdown, or even become such a monster."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But it seems that your mental defense is still very strong. You actually saw that part of the truth and didn't lose control. It seems that you are not an ordinary person."
The postman praised him without hesitation.
"It's no wonder you were dragged to this utopia. I originally thought that among the four people who came here, you were just a casual one."
Lu Mingfei frowned tightly and asked sternly: "What do you mean? Are you deliberately approaching us? And, that monocle..."
"It doesn't mean anything." Amon interrupted Lu Mingfei's words with a smile, "When you came here, the movement was too obvious. Four people who didn't belong here at all suddenly came to Utopia. It was like
Like a big light bulb in the dark, how can it not be noticed?"
"I am also a person who does not belong here. I only found you to find people with the same goal. I know that you want to leave this utopia, and that is why I came to help you. I will give you the bill
The purpose of wearing glasses is to allow you to see the reality here better, but I did not expect that you would come into contact with those realities so early."
The postman sighed slightly and said slowly: "I admit that I didn't explain it clearly to you in advance, but there are some things that cannot be said directly. You should take my warning seriously."
But in fact, he did it on purpose.
Sometimes humans are really easy to deceive. It’s fine if you don’t emphasize it specifically. Sometimes, the more you emphasize it, the stronger people’s rebelliousness will be.
The more emphasis is placed on things that cannot be touched, the more curious they will become, until the desire for curiosity overwhelms the non-deterrent warnings.
This is why he deliberately emphasized not to wear glasses in front of Utopians.
This was deliberately guiding Lu Mingfei to put on those little glasses.
Lu Mingfei's psychological control over people is completely different from the other person's.
He is still struggling with why the other party wants to help him.
"Didn't you say that your uncle is also a resident of this utopia? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be on our side." Lu Mingfei asked.
He could feel the evilness of the guy in front of him.
Who knows why this guy came to them deliberately?
The postman raised his eyebrows slightly, then sighed deeply, showing a hint of pain.
"Don't you understand yet? After you see the reality of this place?"
"This..." Lu Mingfei blinked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"What do you think those black lines you see represent?" The postman's expression was very solemn, and even his tone was not as light and lively as before, "Those black lines are far more terrifying than you imagine.
That is the spiritual thread that controls every resident in Utopia. You can also call it the puppet thread."
After Lu Mingfei heard these words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
If the term "Spirit Thread" didn't sound like anything yet, after hearing the term "Puppet Thread", Lu Mingfei instantly realized something.
"You mean, all the residents in the entire utopia are puppets controlled by that weird puppet?!" Lu Mingfei shouted, looking extremely shocked.
He felt that his world view had been subverted.
On the surface, this seemingly harmonious and warm city is simply an ideal city, a utopia. The harmonious and friendly residents inside it are all puppets controlled by those black threads?!
This fact simply overturned Lu Mingfei's imagination.
This also means...
That Mrs. Wendy who greeted her with a smile and asked with concern if he wanted a cup of sweet iced tea... was a manipulated puppet.
Those customers who come to the bakery to buy bread are also manipulated puppets...
The marching band on the street, the pedestrians surrounding the band, the proprietress who kindly took them in, and even the children playing on both sides of the street are all being manipulated...
The entire Utopia is like a large puppet show stage, where every resident is a manipulated puppet. They are controlled by those black lines according to their own character settings, and perform the joys, sorrows, and joys of all living beings...
Lu Mingfei felt a biting chill hit his heart, and an indescribable fear occupied his mind. He could not imagine how such a terrible thing could be done.
Yan Ling...?
No, it's impossible. He has never heard of such a powerful word spirit. There is no record of it in the periodic table of word spirits. Even the Dragon King does not have such a terrifying word spirit.
Lu Mingfei finally understood what the oldest and deepest fear is, which is the fear of the unknown...
He felt deeply ridiculous.
"It's impossible... this is a lie!" Lu Mingfei stared at the postman in disbelief, "Those people are obviously normal ordinary people, they are obviously no different from the humans in the outside world!
"
"No matter what you say, the truth can never be changed." The postman shrugged nonchalantly, "You can choose to believe it, or you can choose not to believe it. It's up to you whether to blindfold yourself or not."
"If you can, you can also choose to leave here right now and stay away from Utopia. In that case, you don't have to be troubled by these things."
The postman's tone was full of melancholy: "After all, I can't stop you. When people encounter the unknown, escaping is indeed the best choice. No one will blame you, you are just trying to protect yourself."
"However, now that you have stepped into this vortex, it is not up to you to decide whether you can leave. Even if your spirit body is not controlled by that person and has not turned into a puppet, it is still
There will be a pair of invisible hands controlling you. Do you think you can really escape unscathed if you accidentally come here?"
"..."
Lu Mingfei fell silent.
As the postman said, he could treat everything as if he had not seen it at all, just regard it as an illusion, and then work peacefully in Mrs. Wendy's bakery to earn some living expenses, and then wait for the arrival of the ship and then leave.
This does sound like a perfect option.
Everything in Utopia has nothing to do with him. He can also choose not to know anything and cover his eyes.
but……
This just sounds good.
First of all, they have no way to leave here now. They are penniless and don't even have money to eat. They can only go out to work. They have truly entered a utopia.
Lu Mingfei had never seen anyone enter the big boss's lair and escape intact.
Plus……
He has now seen the other side of this beautiful utopia, the other side full of weirdness and horror.
How could this make him feel at ease and treat this place as an ordinary city?
"I..." Lu Mingfei looked at the postman seriously.
