With his entire understanding completely overturned, Lu Mingfei could no longer grasp the situation at all, so he had no choice but to look for help at the person who told him all this.
That is, the mysterious postman in front of me.
"Unfortunately, I don't know either." The postman shook his head, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Actually, I am also a victim here. All I can do is hide as much as possible, and I cannot even appear in any Utopia.
in front of."
The postman sighed and stared at Lu Mingfei: "You are the only ones I can rely on now. Because you can move around freely in this utopia without any interference."
Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise and stared at the postman in front of him.
"Didn't you say that your uncle is also a resident here..." Lu Mingfei frowned, and he suddenly realized that the situation of the person in front of him might be worse than the four of them who accidentally came here.
"Is it possible that your uncle accidentally came to Utopia like us? Then because he noticed something, he was turned into a puppet like everyone else by the terrifying existence behind the scenes?"
Lu Mingfei combined the information previously disclosed by the postman and made a reasonable guess.
The postman had told him before that his uncle was a resident of this utopia. However, his position from beginning to end did not show his closeness to the uncle, but instead contained deep complex emotions.
Coupled with the horrific truth about Utopia that he just learned, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion.
"That's right."
The look on the postman's face seemed very lonely.
"My uncle was originally a magician who loved to bring people joy. After seeing the harmonious and beautiful atmosphere of this utopia, he decided to live in this city for a long time. But he never expected that this utopia turned out to be a magic cave.
, is a complete puppet city."
"After my uncle made up his mind, his spiritual body was slowly controlled, and he completely lost his ability to think. From then on, he became a member of this warm and harmonious utopia..."
Listening to the postman's words, Lu Mingfei shuddered. A biting chill filled his heart.
What a terrifying place is this?
This utopia relies on its apparent harmony and warmth to lure passers-by, and then eventually turns them into puppets one by one, performing a strange and unpredictable stage play.
Will they eventually become like this?
"I understand." Lu Mingfei stepped forward and patted the postman on the shoulder with half comfort and half sympathy, "I understand, why do you keep emphasizing that you don't belong here either. You must be very sorry for your
Uncle, you must be very sad to be turned into a puppet, that's why you come here."
"yes."
The postman actually showed an expression of nostalgia and sadness.
"At the end of my uncle's life, he used his last consciousness to send me a signal. It was a series of unknown codes, but after being deciphered, it will be found that it was a cry for help, coupled with the clues that were obtained before
, I came to Utopia without hesitation, wanting to find the last traces of my uncle."
"It's quite a blessing to say that." The postman smiled mockingly, "Thanks to my uncle's habit of writing travel notes. He often posts his travel experiences online. I also found a lot of useful information from those travel notes.
That’s why I avoided many twists and turns and finally touched the edge of the truth.”
"But it's a pity that in the process of exploring the truth, I was accidentally targeted by that existence. If I appear in front of those puppets and appear in the eyes and ears of that person, I will be punished.
An unimaginable catastrophe.”
"That's why I carefully avoid the sight of other people. Just like this morning, once someone shows up, I have to leave. Otherwise, there will be serious consequences."
"That's why I found you."
The postman looked at Lu Mingfei sincerely: "So, can you help me? I can provide you with a lot of information about this place. The only thing I hope is that you can help me find the mastermind behind this place and destroy this terrifying place.
."
"Is that why you know so much?" Lu Mingfei looked at the postman with some emotion, "I know you must be in pain, but continuing to dwell on the past is not the answer. We should find the culprit that caused everything.
Your uncle takes revenge!"
do not know why.
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei's blood started to boil.
For a moment, he felt the passion he had when he was a child watching those heroic blockbusters. Those heroes wearing tight uniforms on the screen were his yearning when he was a child. He had also dreamed of becoming a hero, and wanted to stand out in front of his classmates.
Show off.
But in the end they were defeated by the cruel reality.
Fortunately, after arriving at Kassel College, he learned that his life experience was a little bit unusual, and his bloodline seemed to be a little bit powerful.
It's a pity that without the little devil's blessing, he would still be the same loser.
But today, after he learned the truth about all this and the tragic experience of this fateful person he met unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei actually wanted to lend a helping hand to help this poor man who had lost his uncle.
, this person walking alone in a scary city.
They are both fallen people at the end of the world, and they are also trapped in this strange place. Logically speaking, they should help each other.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei was already full of trust in this poor man.
"..." The postman also didn't expect that his plan would advance so quickly.
Or...this guy seems to be more deceitful than he thought.
The postman pinched his eyes and was about to say something more.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Mingfei suddenly interrupted: "By the way, what is the monocle you handed me before? Why can you see directly here?
Real? Is it some kind of spiritual spirit or an alchemy tool?"
Because of the postman's monocle ability, Lu Mingfei subconsciously regarded him as a hybrid.
The postman followed his guess and answered: "It's some kind of very precious alchemy tool. One is missing after use, and now you have broken one directly. I originally just wanted to lend it to you, but...
"
After hearing these words, Lu Mingfei felt very embarrassed for a moment. He looked left and right, but did not look directly at the other person.
"Well... I didn't mean it. After seeing the truth, I was so shocked that my hand slipped and fell off."
Lu Mingfei said very apologetically.
"If possible... can I use other alchemy tools to compensate you? I have a friend who is an excellent alchemist master. Well... I can ask him to make some new items for you after he goes out."
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei's voice became smaller and smaller.
After all, this was indeed his fault.
Because of his improper operation, he directly broke the opponent's precious props. The opponent might as well just beat him up, which would be merciful.
And he really didn't have anything valuable on him.
Apart from the alchemy dagger that Old Tang gave him before, and the equipment given to him by Kassel Academy, he was basically penniless.
And now...
They came here accidentally.
In the beginning, he didn’t even have money for food. The few bills he had on him now were given to him by Mrs. Wendy out of kindness. What kind of props could he use to compensate the other party?
Are you putting your own face on it?
Lu Mingfei was a little on the verge of tears.
"Forget it, this isn't your problem. You must have been very shocked after seeing such a terrifying truth." The postman said empathetically, "And your face doesn't seem to be suitable for wearing a single piece.
Glasses can easily slip off when you put them on, so it really shouldn’t be entirely your responsibility.”
As he spoke, he took out glasses that were exactly the same as before from his pocket and handed them to Lu Mingfei.
"Fortunately, I have other monocles on me now. I saved a lot of them before. I will give you a new one now. But you must use it well and never wear it in front of the residents of Utopia."
Lu Mingfei nodded gratefully and took the monocle excitedly.
Then, he hesitated for a moment.
He put on his monocle and stared straight at the postman in front of him.
Under the sun, the postman still looks like his original self. He has not turned into a monster, and there is no thin black line connecting him to infinity.
At this time, Lu Mingfei took a long breath, finally letting go of his last vigilance towards the other party, and completely believing what the other party said before.
The postman raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lu Mingfei quickly explained.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were out of caution..."
"It doesn't matter." Before Lu Mingfei finished speaking, the postman interrupted him and comforted him, "It is indeed a good thing to be vigilant, and your approach is correct. Because that existence does have control over
The power of change can change the appearance of any puppet and become any person."
"That's why the truth you see through the glasses is that the residents here are all monsters. Because they are what they are, but they have been transformed into the appearance of ordinary humans."
Lu Mingfei blinked blankly, and then quickly realized something terrifying.
"In other words, is it possible for them to become our companions?"
"That's right."
The postman nodded deeply: "If you see your companion again, even if it is me, you must wear a monocle to confirm whether the other party is real."
Then he paused for a moment before speaking, and then frowned.
"But you have to observe covertly, because once those monsters discover that you are wearing a monocle, especially on your right eye, you may suffer unimaginable disasters, and you may even directly anger that existence."
"why is that?"
Lu Mingfei asked curiously.
"You can understand it as a certain rule." The postman did not explain the relevant reasons in detail, "Well, when we meet in the future, we will put the monocle on our right eyes together to confirm each other's authenticity."
Lu Mingfei felt that this proposal was very feasible, so he nodded seriously.
"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"
The postman paused hesitantly, then pinched the frame of his monocle seriously, and crushed a secret charm in his pocket with his other hand. After some kind of shielding force took effect around him, he
Then he spoke slowly.
"My name is Zhou Mingrui."
"Zhou Mingrui?"
Lu Mingfei murmured doubtfully.
This name sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before...
And the moment the other party said this name, Lu Mingfei felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, like a good friend he had known for a long time.
But he didn't remember that he had ever met a person named Zhou Mingrui.
The postman who called himself Zhou Mingrui quickly noticed Lu Mingfei's reaction and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What? Is it possible that you have heard of this name?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it just sounds a bit familiar." Lu Mingfei shook his head, as if he was talking to the postman, or to himself, "Maybe it's just that the name is very common. Maybe I have heard of it before.
I also met a man named Zhou Mingrui."
"Yeah?"
The postman took a deep look at Lu Mingfei and looked him up and down. This ordinary-looking young man seemed to be speaking casually.
"This name is very common. Maybe it's a coincidence. Have you really known someone with the same name as me before?"
"I don't remember." Lu Mingfei continued to shake his head, and then looked at the postman.
The man in front of me has black hair, black eyes, a very wide forehead, and very deep facial features. He looks a bit un-Asian.
It doesn't quite match the name Zhou Mingrui.
Zhou Mingrui in his impression should be...
What should it look like?
Lu Mingfei frowned. The phantom in his memory seemed to be lingering, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
"..."
The postman took a deep breath and spoke directly to interrupt Lu Mingfei's train of thought: "The curse wrapped around me is about to happen again. I must leave here immediately and get rid of that man's gaze. We are in Ali, the province of Utopia, tonight.
Anna church gathering.”
As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, before Lu Mingfei could say anything more, the person in front of him quickly ran away from him like a rabbit.
Just like last time, I couldn't grasp the trace at all.
Only Lu Mingfei was left who had not yet reacted.
"Zhou Mingrui, he feels mysterious, but he should be trustworthy."
…
Not far away, a young gentleman who was sitting leisurely enjoying coffee in a cafe crushed his cup.
"Amon..."
"You want to steal my St. Arianna Church, right? You also want to brainwash all my relatives and friends..."
