"There seems to be something wrong here..." Old Tang said in a low voice. He looked up at the main entrance of the church, his face pale.
He thought of those horror movies, and always felt that the atmosphere here was inexplicably scary, and the strange silence made people feel panicked. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Even the Dragon King is afraid of ghosts, okay?
Especially those ghost movies that he had brought so deeply into his heart when he was still Old Tang, that he can't forget them even now.
And the atmosphere at the scene was really weird...
Although there was no movement, the more it happened, the more nervous Old Tang became.
"The atmosphere here is indeed a bit overwhelming." Lu Mingfei frowned and asked, "Where are the two people who invited us out?" He looked around, hoping to see traces of the two postmen or scholars.
"Don't worry, let's be patient." Chu Zihang was quite calm. He patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder and said, "Since they asked us out and both of them were at the same place, then they definitely won't
I will give up easily."
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei nodded, barely suppressing the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.
The three of them stood in front of the church door, hesitating whether to go in - although they were not afraid of ghosts and gods, nor were they afraid of the strange gods believed in this place, but now, they were still a little afraid.
After all, no one knows whether this church is the location of the big boss behind the scenes.
I don't know what weird, weird and unpredictable things are there.
Just as they were hesitating, a gust of night wind blew by, picking up the dead leaves on the ground and making a rustling sound.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but shrink his neck, "It's really cold here, and the atmosphere is..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, as if he thought of something, and clapped his hands in sudden realization.
"You said they haven't come out yet. Are you worried that we are being controlled by the beings here? Are you worried that we are here to fish them out?"
After listening to Lu Mingfei's words, Old Tang nodded in agreement.
"It is very likely that this is the reason, so how should we prove our identity? How to prove that we are not controlled puppets?"
He scratched his head in confusion, and then suddenly an idea flashed through him.
"That's right, that scholar told me before that he would wear a monocle to prove his identity when we meet again."
Originally, he didn't take this sentence to heart. He thought it didn't matter whether he wore it or not. After all, it was just an ordinary pair of glasses and it shouldn't have much impact. But he soon thought of the strange reactions of the residents of Utopia.
, and the truth you see after wearing it.
...Maybe this is the only way to prove their identity.
After all, people in Utopia would never wear monocles. Although he couldn't figure out why, it was obvious that there were many rules.
But now, monocles have become the most direct way for them to prove their identity.
"Yes, yes." Lu Mingfei quickly took out his own and stuck it in his eye socket.
"Wrong, it should be worn on the right side." Old Tang said quickly, and then took out one and put it on his eye socket, trying to give Lu Mingfei a correct demonstration. However, because his eye sockets were not deep enough
, it was always easy to slip when wearing it, so he had to frown and squeeze the monocle with the flesh on both sides of his eye sockets, trying to prevent it from falling off.
"Oh." Lu Mingfei quickly changed the position and put it on his right eye as well.
Constantine also imitated his brother.
Three monocles appeared in front of the Church of Santa Arianna.
There was only one Chu Zihang, who seemed out of place with the others because he had no props.
However, he didn't pay attention and continued to observe his surroundings expressionlessly.
It was already late at night. Although there was no such thing as a watch, judging from the height of the moon's rise, it should be almost eleven or twelve o'clock. The entire Utopia once again fell into a quiet night. There was no one on the streets and the square was empty.
It's empty and not as lively as during the day.
Originally, in a modern society with ample entertainment activities, it would not be a problem for them to stay up until three in the morning, but here they have nothing but toil. Lu Mingfei has already yawned all day long, and is extremely sleepy.
If he hadn't been waiting for someone, he wouldn't have stood stupidly in front of this weird church in the middle of the night.
When will that person come?
He was almost going crazy waiting here. If he didn't come again, he would think he was being let go.
However, in the next moment, Lu Mingfei shuddered and immediately woke up.
Because he saw that the trees not far away shook slightly, and then two men came out of the woods.
One of them was wearing a simple worker's clothing and holding a candle lamp in his hand, and the other was wearing a well-dressed black suit and holding a flashlight, but the same thing is that each of them wore a monocle on their face.
.
"It's them," Lu Mingfei reacted instantly, "It's those two people. The man in work clothes is the Mr. Zhou I saw during the day."
"Why did they come out of that place?" Old Tang couldn't help complaining.
Although the scholar was well-dressed and had a very gentlemanly temperament, it still could not conceal the fact that they emerged from the grass, with a leaf hanging on his head.
"I think they are the ones who asked us to meet here?" Chu Zihang said calmly, "But I don't know what their purpose is."
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry to meet you in this way." The man who called himself "Zhou Mingrui" smiled and pinched his single eye, "Because the investigation in the city is too strict, everywhere
Everyone is attacking the monocle, and we really have no choice but to appear in this way."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Actually, we have arrived a long time ago and have been hiding in the grass over there and did not come out directly. Because you did not put on the monocle, we also
There is no way to confirm whether you are one of our own."
"That's right." Amon also nodded seriously.
Lu Mingfei and Old Tang subconsciously nodded in agreement.
After all, they all know the other party's current difficult situation, and they may suffer a fatal blow if they show up at all, so they can only be cautious.
After confirming their identities with the help of a monocle, we were able to meet them.
They all know that Utopia is not very friendly to monocles. Maybe it is because through these glasses, you can see the most realistic scene. After all, no one wants their true identity to be exposed.
Therefore, the monocle worn on the right eye is the best way to prove themselves.
"Then why did you come to us here?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I should have told you before," Amon glanced at Old Tang, "I just want to seek cooperation. After all, it is really inconvenient for us to appear in other people's sight. And this cathedral, but
It is the most critical link and the most iconic building, so we have to meet here."
Old Tang pondered for a moment, glanced at Amon and the person next to him, and narrowed his eyes: "You two have known each other before?"
"That's right." Amon readily admitted, and patted "Zhou Mingrui" beside him on the shoulder, "He is my father's friend. Due to his own reasons, he also came to this utopia. Originally, it was me.
It would be nice if you were alone, but I didn’t expect him to come over too. In fact, I was also shocked.”
After hearing what Amon said, Old Tang didn't ask any more questions. After all, they just needed to know that the two people in front of them came to cooperate with them. If it would be helpful to them, then he didn't care about other people's thoughts.
But Chu Zihang is different.
Chu Zihang stared at the two people in front of him with a solemn expression. He always felt that these two people were not ordinary.
and……
There seems to be something wrong with them too.
However, the performance of these two people was extremely magnanimous, making it impossible to see any flaws.
but……
On the surface, he did not reveal his suspicion directly.
He just secretly raised his guard.
After all, Lu Mingfei and Old Tang seemed to trust each other, and the other party also provided crucial props to help them see the unknown side of Utopia. It was obvious that people were on the side that was beneficial to them.
In this case, if Chu Zihang directly showed too much suspicion, it would probably arouse their vigilance or disgust.
If they are really on their side, this is likely to create a gap between them. And if they really have any bad thoughts, if they show it directly, it will make them more alert.
?
Amon glanced at Chu Zihang seemingly casually and said casually: "Is this gentleman your companion?"
"Yes, he is trapped on this island with us." Old Tang nodded.
"That's it." Amon smiled slightly, then took out another monocle from his pocket and handed it in the direction of Chu Zihang, "I wonder if this gentleman is interested in putting on the glasses and taking a look at this real thing?"
What about the world?"
"Believe me, this monocle will help you a lot."
Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the other party would hand over important props to him, but when he was about to reach out and take the glasses.
His eyes suddenly filled with layers of waving waves.
There seemed to be countless small voices whispering in her ears, and the prayers he heard before gradually became clearer.
Chu Zihang's eyes widened, he had recognized it, it was his own voice!
He seemed to be chanting with great piety.
"Does not belong……"
This is……
Who is he praying to?
And he sounds so pious, and his emotional expression doesn't look like he's faking it at all.
Even his heart was touched, and a burst of inexplicable emotions emerged.
But this is simply impossible!
Because in his impression, he had never believed in anything at all, and it was impossible for him to pray to the gods so devoutly!
Chu Zihang felt waves of severe pain in his head.
That strange prayer sound was like a spoon, constantly stirring in his mind, and it seemed that it would not stop until it turned his mind into a lake of slurry.
what on earth is it!
Stop it! Stop it!
Chu Zihang roared hoarsely in his heart.
Perhaps the pain from the soul was too intense. Even Lu Mingfei, who was watching on the sidelines, was startled and quickly asked: "Hey, hey, hey, senior brother, what's going on with you? What happened?
?Don’t scare me, hey..."
Chu Zihang's cold sweat wetted his bangs. He gritted his teeth, shook his head at Amon, pushed his monocle over, and rejected the other person's kindness.
"My current condition is a bit bad and I am not suitable for wearing such an important prop."
Chu Zihang said coldly.
Somehow, after he rejected Amon's kindness, the violent spirits in his mind gradually disappeared, and his own prayer gradually became weaker...
Why does this happen?
Chu Zihang didn't understand what was going on with his situation.
Under the violent mental shock just now, he almost instinctively rejected the monocle, but he never expected that after rejecting it, he actually became refreshed.
His instinct resisted the monocle.
What is the reason for this?
"Maybe your subconscious is telling you, maybe if you put on the monocle, you will see something very scary." Amon was not angry when he saw that his kindness was rejected. Instead, he explained very thoughtfully, "Yes.
People's subconscious is very powerful at that time, maybe it is protecting you, protecting your worldview and spirit from being polluted."
"After wearing it, you will see the reality of this world. But it is also because of this that if your inspiration is too high, you may face the most dangerous existence. It is also because of this that it may cause mental illness.
The impact on the body may even turn him into a madman or a monster..."
"It seems like your inspiration is very high and your subconscious mind is trying its best to protect you. You are relatively lucky."
Amon put away his monocle, looked at Old Tang and Lu Mingfei who were standing aside, paused slightly, and then spoke.
"I believe you have tried wearing it before. How was it? Did you see a completely different scenery?" Amen asked with a smile.
"It's really..." Old Tang cried and laughed, "I didn't expect the truth here to be so scary. You should have told me in advance so that I could be mentally prepared."
"No, because any attempt to describe directional words will be easily discovered." Amon waved his hand helplessly, "I am also helpless."
Chu Zihang didn't say much.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
Because he had seen the truth here through a monocle before.
