Lu Li seemed to have fallen into delirium, but also seemed to be saved. He was lying on the cold and hard wooden board, wrapped in low temperature and darkness.
The direction of vague conversation was difficult to discern, and it echoed all around.
"Is he awake?"
"not yet……"
"You must revive him..."
"I know, you also think he is real?"
"...Exactly the same, you also discovered..."
"But... it's coming from upstream..."
"When he wakes up..."
The conversation continued intermittently, and when he realized he was about to fall into coma, Lu Li dragged himself into a dream.
Blah blah blah
Day and night waves crash against the rocks under Wanghai Cliff.
Lu Li woke up from his dream and lay in the rocking chair under the Annie tree.
The sound of distant conversation came with the wind, as brother and sister Jimmy were building their new home.
Finding the illusory figure, Lu Li stared at it for a moment and escaped from the dream.
Lu Li slowly woke up.
The conversation in the house disappeared at this time, and the unbearable nausea overwhelmed his reason. Lu Li got up and lowered his head to vomit.
"vomit"
The river water carried the vomit and it fell down with a crash, leaving his abdominal cavity with the filth. His consciousness and perception became much clearer.
The fur covering the body locks in body heat, and the room or cave is filled with the smell of firewood smoke. A bonfire burns under a simple fireplace, illuminating the ceiling of the low room.
"Look at the vomit, he ate what was there, he was real!"
A female voice sounded, and Lu Li looked, but he was still weak and could only see two outlines in the dimness.
Lu Li touched his chest, his clothes disappeared, and the Doomsday Apocalypse book sewn on the inside also disappeared.
This is the source of his weakness.
"You're looking for this, right?"
The silhouette is close to the bed and also enters the range of the firelight, unreal, skirt, and young.
She handed the Doomsday Apocalypse Book to Lu Li, and after he took it, she stepped back to another silhouette.
Lu Li was no longer weak and weak, and correspondingly, her obscure aura weakened.
"You shouldn't give it so easily..." an old voice sounded.
"This is a doomsday apocalypse book. Lu Li has never concealed its function from me. It is true, and so is he."
"It's true, he might be fake. Don't forget those things we saw upstream..."
"But none of them are that real."
The old voice stopped arguing with her and emerged from the shadows: "Do you still remember me?"
"Tesla, Remy."
Lu Li said their names.
Remy has almost not changed. As an evil spirit in ghost form, she will not change her body as long as she does not lose herself. Tesla, with gray hair and beard, wearing a flaxen coat, cannot tell what he once looked like. The old man seen upstream will make him
Lu Li realized that "he will be Tesla twenty years from now", but the old man in front of him did not.
Only the way he spoke and the fact that he was standing next to Remi made Lu Li guess who he was.
Tesla said slowly: "We found you from the river bank. You came from upstream, right? Then you have experienced those false realities and are aware of our vigilance... We need time to confirm your identity. And I
Guess...you are also confirming us, right?"
Lu Li nodded lightly: "I will cooperate with you."
bang bang bang
There was a knock on the door, so Lu Li paid attention to the door. Lu Li began to hear arguments coming from outside.
"I'll go explain to them."
Tesla said to Lu Li and Remi, walking outside.
The moment the door opened, noise entered the room.
"Kill him!"
"We don't need strangers!"
"It will kill us all..."
Click.
The door closed and the house returned to silence, but Lu Li could still hear the conversation outside the door.
"He is no stranger."
"It could kill us!"
"I am also the one who escaped, and I saved you."
"But it comes from upstream, that place of deceit..."
"He escaped."
"We can't keep him, he will kill us all..."
The human entanglement outside the house is even more real.
Seemingly realizing that the people in the house needed rest and quiet, Tesla walked away with the quarrel going.
"I'm glad you're still alive...and so young." Remi looked at Lu Li gently.
"You think I'm real?"
"Tesla and I are different. He believes in reason, and I believe in feeling." Remi came to the campfire, picked up the torn shirt that had been dried and handed it to Lu Li: "I know you are real."
Lu Li put on his torn shirt and asked, "Isn't Anna here?"
"I'm sorry... we have lived here for over twenty years... and have never seen her."
Lu Li fell into silence.
Paradise Valley is the only clue to find Anna, but she has never been there...
Remi talked to herself and Lu Li about the other people who came to Paradise Valley.
Adangfuya has passed away, and his brother Jimmy has lost his body and can only live as a monster. Ampere is still alive, the three children have left forever, and the sculpture is lost in the eternal forest.
Truth is often more cruel than fiction.
There were nearly a hundred survivors in Paradise Valley, but as time passed, no more survivors came in, and the number dropped to only eighty-three.
Lu Li is the only one who has arrived in the past ten years, so people are panicking.
Remi cleaned up the vomit, and Lu Li saw what he vomited: river water and mud-like filth. Remi said that Lu Li must have eaten something in the Land of Deception.
As time passed, when Lu Li was able to walk on the ground, Tesla led several middle-aged people into the house and held what they called a "judgment meeting."
Lu Li saw Jimmy and the children outside. They secretly waved hello and guarded the door.
Lu Li was sitting on the bed, wearing a shirt and wearing the pants that Remi brought over his legs.
"Why don't you get older?" Tesla asked.
Under a scrutinizing gaze, Lu Li replied: "After I failed to solve the problem of Silence, I got lost underground and stayed for twenty-four days. Twenty-four years have passed since I returned to the surface."
For Tesla and others, the less trustworthy they are, the more trustworthy they are.
But others were whispering doubtfully.
Tesla silenced the buzz in the room: "How do you detect the illusion of a place of deception?"
"Some details, and the flowing cat in Vigotown."
Anna won't leave it there.
"What's this."
Remi handed the stomach bag to Lu Li.
"The stomach bag is an alchemical product of Midnight City. It can hold no more than 30 pounds of things."
"Where's this."
Remy took out the tail branch again.
"The crown of thorns, the token of the Swamp Mother."
Tesla and Remy are no strangers to this term.
"You're giving it back its belongings!" Suddenly a middle-aged man stood up and accused Remi.
"Do you have any objections?" Remi's tone was cold.
The middle-aged man sat down tremblingly and looked at Tesla for help.
Tesla ignored his gaze and continued to ask: "What's going on outside?"
"Darkness enveloped the land, the weird era turned into the Dark Age, Midnight City was destroyed, Verna Ice-free Port established an underground city underground, and old Belfast became a place of hope, illuminated by the sun." Lu Li told calmly.
