Sure enough, once their eyes saw the completely changed scene outside Utopia, they instantly became stunned and stunned.
Although he had known that the three of them would be shocked, Lu Mingfei still felt very happy when he saw their surprised expressions with his own eyes.
Isn't there a classic saying? When you are caught in the rain because you don't have an umbrella, you should go and raise other people's umbrellas.
All in all, Lu Mingfei just wanted to drag others down.
"This..." Chu Zihang stared out the window blankly, speechless for a long time.
The visual impact is accompanied by a mental impact.
There was a faint murmuring sound in his ears, which sounded like some kind of prayer.
Chu Zihang frowned and wanted to listen carefully, but no matter how carefully he tried to distinguish the sounds, it was difficult to hear them clearly.
"What the hell is this?" Old Tang took a breath and looked at the strange things outside the window. He couldn't find any words to describe them. The weird black lines all over his field of vision, and the twisted words
The ferocious monster... Is this still the harmonious and friendly town it was before?
Old Tang had actually made a lot of mental preparations before, thinking that this place might have this mysterious and terrifying truth, but after actually facing the scene he saw through the monocle, he still felt an unparalleled impact.
Those hideous, terrifying, and abnormally twisted monsters simply do not exist within the cognitive scope of human society.
Such a strange sight...
Old Tang took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down the fluctuations in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei, "What's going on?"
Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "I don't know. But I guess... it's probably because of these glasses."
"So... you have seen such a scene before? That's why you deliberately want us to wear glasses?" Old Tang showed a pair of dead fish eyes.
"Yes, that's right." Lu Mingfei admitted readily and said shamelessly, "Didn't I let you see the truth about Utopia? You should thank me. But speaking of it, your expressions just now were terrible.
It’s really funny.”
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei showed an arrogant and unbeatable smile.
The corners of Old Tang's mouth twitched slightly, and he grinded his teeth fiercely. He felt that his fists were already hard, and he wanted to punch Lu Mingfei on the head to shut him up.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Tell me what's going on? Why have I never heard that a monocle can produce such an effect?" Chu Zihang glanced at him indifferently, and then asked seriously,
"What's going on with the monocle in your hands?"
"I don't particularly understand this." Lu Mingfei shrugged. "Maybe it's the function of the glasses themselves. The person who gave me the monocle before told me that this is a very important alchemy tool."
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Old Tang: "I remember that you are quite knowledgeable about alchemy. Do you have any clues?"
Old Tang stared at the monocle in his hand. Although he had checked it before, he checked it over and over again now. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He was very sure that this was a simple and ordinary lens.
A common monocle. But he didn't know why it had such a magical effect.
He swore with his tens of thousands of years of alchemy experience that the glasses were indeed very ordinary. The lenses were very common glass without any prescription, and the gold rims were just ordinary gold-plated rims with only twelve shallow circles.
The ring, without more complicated patterns and symbols, is definitely not an alchemy tool no matter how you look at it.
Seeing that Old Tang had not spoken for a long time, Lu Mingfei coughed twice and urged him.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?"
"No." Old Tang shook his head, "This monocle is too ordinary. I can't see any trace of alchemy at all."
Lu Mingfei sighed after hearing this.
He originally just had the attitude of giving it a try, but who knew that even Old Tang couldn't see the weirdness of this monocle.
Lu Mingfei was immediately discouraged.
It seemed that this prop was much more mysterious than he imagined.
"I'll continue my research later and see if I can discover the secret of these glasses." Old Tang pondered for a moment and finally made this decision. His expression was still serious, and there was no sign of perfunctoryness.
.
Completely different from his usual carefree appearance.
Lao Tang's actions showed how serious he was about this matter.
Lu Mingfei nodded and said nothing more.
Chu Zihang walked to the window and watched the people walking on the street. He squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about something, but soon gave up. He put away his monocle.
He stood up, sat back down, and lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei noticed Chu Zihang's strange state and asked curiously.
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei. His dark eyes were like a dark pool, shining with an obscure light.
"Is what we see, what we knew before, really real?" Chu Zihang asked.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He blinked, and for a moment he couldn't answer this question.
He didn't know what Chu Zihang was referring to, and he didn't know how to explain it to him.
And he was a little strange. He didn't know why Chu Zihang suddenly asked this inexplicable question.
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I just suddenly felt very confused. I didn't know what kind of illusory world I was living in." Chu Zihang's voice was very hoarse, "Have you ever thought about the truth we have seen? This is what we can only
That’s all we saw, everything we saw could have been made up.”
"You said that everything we saw and what we knew before are fake?" Lu Mingfei frowned and asked with some doubts.
Chu Zihang nodded.
Lu Mingfei fell into silence.
At this moment, Old Tang's voice suddenly interrupted the awkward and strange silence.
"What's the use of worrying about this now? I think you may have been shocked by what you saw just now, and you feel that everything we saw is fake."
Old Tang patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, just take a closer look. Those are just weird-looking monsters. That's the truth of Utopia."
"..."
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, and then sighed slightly: "That's not what I want to express."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Old Tang asked doubtfully.
Chu Zihang looked at Old Tang for a few seconds, and then said slowly: "I am thinking of another terrible possibility."
"What terrible possibility?"
Old Tang asked.
Chu Zihang paused slightly, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, there is not enough evidence for my current speculation, and it can only be said to be a ridiculous conjecture."
When Lu Mingfei heard Chu Zihang's words, he touched his chin thoughtfully.
Old Tang frowned, but still didn't ask any more questions.
"Having said that," Lu Mingfei said with a slight wry smile, "We can't be frightened by the mere truth. Shouldn't our most important thing now be to figure out how to leave this place?"
"Yes." Old Tang spread his hands helplessly, "This place is really not a good place. We are now in a lair full of monsters. If we are not careful, we may be besieged again."
"We are now completely penniless and unarmed. If we really end up in that situation, we can only rush out with our word spirit."
Old Tang said bitterly, "But I don't think things will be so bad. Today I met a mysterious scholar, the scholar who called himself Amon who gave me the monocle I mentioned before."
"He did provide me with a lot of useful information, and I temporarily chose to enter into a cooperative relationship with him. He wants to use us to find the truth, and we can also use his situation to find a way to leave here."
Old Tang explained how he and Amon met on the beach this morning.
"Has Utopia been destroyed before?" Lu Mingfei thought thoughtfully, "Then it seems that this place is not absolutely unsolvable. At least it can still be debunked with pure violence."
"But the key is that we don't have that much power now." Chu Zihang pointed out pointedly.
Lu Mingfei choked. He curled his lips and did not refute.
"However, what I am very concerned about is, why does Mr. Amon need to rely on our power?" A flash of thought flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes, "Moreover, he obviously has some key information and props, otherwise
Nor will he give you this monocle. But he did not tell you the reality of this utopia..."
“He said that he seemed to be subject to some unknown curse and could not appear in front of the residents of Utopia.” Old Tang recalled, “As for why he didn’t say anything, it seemed that as long as he was mentioned, there would be a risk of being watched.
Only if we go and look for it ourselves.”
"Mr. Zhou Mingrui I met before also said the same thing." Lu Mingfei said in surprise, "It seems that there are so many cursed people in this small city. But why are they so confident in handing over precious props?
Us?"
"I think since he gave us the things, he should believe in our abilities." Chu Zihang said calmly, "And it is very likely that we are useful to them."
"By the way," Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei, then at Old Tang, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it possible that the person you met is the same person? Maybe he deceived you first, and then
To fool other people."
Lu Mingfei and Old Tang were stunned.
"I met him on the streets of Utopia. 'Zhou Mingrui' looks like a postman, riding a bicycle. It is said that he came here. However, I feel that he deserves a beating..." Lu Mingfei
He scratched his head and murmured, recounting the entire encounter with "Zhou Mingrui".
"I feel that the scholar is very reliable except for some weird problems of scholars." Old Tang also began to recall, "There is no need for beatings like Lu Mingfei said, and it is quite descriptive. Apart from the fact that they are also wearing monolithic
The glasses, and there are no other similarities. It shouldn’t be the same person.”
"But don't you think the timing of those two people's appearance is too coincidental? They seem to be deliberately waiting for us to stand alone and defeat them one by one." Chu Zihang said slowly.
"I think maybe it's just a coincidence? After all, it's not like we haven't encountered strange things. Besides, maybe we're just worried about the curse. We're afraid of being discovered by Utopia, so we can only contact us quietly." Old Tang hesitated, "And
, we are now certain that the scholar named Amon must be related to Utopia and has chosen to cooperate with us. We still have many opportunities to find out the truth."
"That's right," Lu Mingfei agreed, "I made an appointment with the postman to meet at St. Arianna's Church tonight. Maybe we can get more useful clues."
"!" Old Tang was very surprised, "The appointment he and I made was also at St. Arianna's Church!"
The two of them looked at each other.
"It seems... this church really has some important clues." Chu Zihang stared at the two of them, "However, I still feel it is very strange. We must be careful."
"I know, I know, senior brother, you really look like an old woman sometimes." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.
"That's not me being verbose. We are now in a completely unfamiliar environment, and we must always be vigilant!" Chu Zihang said seriously, "Sometimes, things about coincidences mean weirdness."
"Don't you think this is all a coincidence?"
"It should just be a coincidence..." Lu Mingfei replied weakly.
"..." Chu Zihang was speechless.
"But no matter what, we must go to that church tonight to find out what's going on." Old Tang's blood boiled.
…
The Church of Santa Arianna is built on a high platform in the center of the castle. From a distance, it looks like a blooming white rose petal. The entire church is shrouded in thick darkness and hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to detect.
The Church of Santa Arianna is the only church preserved in this town. It has existed for a long time and has a long history, so it is often praised and worshiped by the residents of the town.
When Lu Mingfei and others arrived at the door of St. Arianna's Church, the sky was completely dark.
The square, which was originally lively and bustling during the day, was now completely silent.
Not even a dove feather can be seen on the road.
Only the crows circling in the sky symbolized the coming of some kind of terror.
