It is a rhombus-shaped polygonal stone, which is finer than obsidian and rougher than black sapphire. What distinguishes it from ordinary stones is not the smooth and angular appearance of zircon, but also the wonderful power brewed inside.
And its appearance reminded Lu Li of the opposite thing: pure white stone.
The white stones possess the power of dreams...
So Lu Li "returned" to this stone twenty-five years ago, and what he experienced might just be a dream.
A dream recording the destruction of the Lennon Islands.
If what is presented is what actually happened.
Lu Li approached the accumulated pure black stone, but the remaining tearing power also acted on the soul. The dreamer could help Lu Li resist some damage, perhaps enough to get close to the pure black stone, but he did not do that, and instead retreated into the cave.
It is estimated that it will take half a day for the pure black stone to be fully charged... and the dark world with the sound of tides outside the cave reminds Lu Li that it is already noon and the next time he will fall asleep will be at night.
Lu Li did not get close to the pure black stone, nor was he too far away from it. He casually dug a cave in the corner of the cave to rest for a while, and then summoned the merchant.
Swamp Mother asked Lu Li why he hadn't returned yet, and Lu Li told her that he was at the Lennon Islands.
"...You want to find Qiaoqiao?"
The Swamp Mother actually remembers that girl.
"It was just an accident that I came here, but I did meet her."
in another way.
Lu Li tells the whole story of what happened to the pure black stone.
"What do you need?" And the Swamp Mother knew that Lu Li would not do nothing.
"I can't confirm whether that is true. I need records of the destruction of the Lennon Islands. The more detailed the better, and the sooner the better." Lu Li estimated the time when the pure black stone will be fully charged next time, "It's best before dark.
.”
Lu Li had to confirm whether what he saw with the pure black stone actually happened, or whether it was a relatively real nightmare.
Or some kind of magical power that sends him back to a strange time.
This is not easy to find, not only because there is only one daylight time, but also because when the Lennon Islands were devastated, not many survivors were able to escape the sea of despair——
Even if there is, it will disappear in the long years in the deep sea of the broken island and the wilderness of the desolate land.
It became clear that there were no survivors or descendants in the Land of Light, and the Swamp Mother contacted the Vina Dungeon and Haunted Town in hopes that they might gain something.
"Maybe it's a good thing that you don't come back. The earth dwellers are offering a reward for you. Weird knows that the human aura is related to you. They may be eyeing the Land of Light... But don't worry, we have been able to protect ourselves."
Strange gods, alchemy towers, exorcists, strange residents, and the bright place itself that shines the sunshine that strange people don't like.
Lu Li asked the merchant to help him build a bonfire in the cave. It had nothing to do with the atmosphere. The darkness no longer swallowed Lu Li, but it made him unable to see.
The merchant then arrived, bringing with him another merchant - Anthony, the merchant who had been thrown into the warehouse by the Earthlings Chamber of Commerce. It woke up next to Lu Li, and the number of merchants in the Land of Light returned to five.
The merchant is still as cold as a machine without thinking, without any nostalgia or emotion. Merchant Anthony continues to do what his own tribe would do.
In the evening, when the pure black stone was still about two-tenths full, businessman Anthony brought back what Lu Li needed: an interview and a letter. These were the only gains during the day.
And they are all old, outdated, and things from twenty years ago. The good news is that this can ensure authenticity to the greatest extent.
The interview is a special feature of the Wiener Port newspaper "The Tragedy of the Lennon Islands", and the letter is a letter written by a professor that was mailed from the "Queen's Island" the day before the Lennon Islands were lost. They are both preserved in
The Museum of Wiener Ice-Free Port - What Wiener Ice-Free Port once did to maintain the reputation of "Humanity's Hope" helped Lu Li in some way.
Lu Li first looked at the yellowed note, because it was shorter than the interview, and it also contained more urgent information about what happened on the eve of the Lennon Islands disaster.
[My only friend Angelo Dessen:
Long time no see. How have you been lately?
It's bad everywhere, right? Only the Lennon Islands can temporarily become a harbor. But what I need to tell you is that the Lennon Islands are not our pure land. They are traps, a killing feast where wolves drive cattle and sheep together.
Changes have already taken place. I guess soon Queen's Harbor will no longer allow ships to leave and dock. Then the official will claim that there are just rebels breaking into the city, and martial law will be lifted soon.
It's a pity that we don't have the chance to meet again.
Every day I will try to send you a letter telling you what happened here.
Angelou, stay away from the ocean, as far away as possible. If you can't leave...just run to higher ground.
——Gord, whose time is running out]
Apparently, no second letter was sent.
The manuscript does not record what happened on the Lennon Islands, only a few words on the eve of the disaster.
The interviews in "The Tragedy of the Lennon Islands" only make it worse. There are no survivors' oral accounts, and the most credible one is only a fisherman who was more than ten nautical miles away from the "Queen's Island".
He claimed that in the bloody dusk when the clouds were dyed red by the setting sun, he saw the island splitting open, sinful black smoke rising from the cracked ground, the sea water pouring into the crack boiling, and no one escaped alive.
Nothing else can be confirmed except that there are indeed no survivors.
It seems to be confirmed that the pure black stone is indeed an illusion of the real Lennon Islands.
Everything is a predetermined reality, and perhaps only historians will be ecstatic about it.
After telling the mother of the swamp about her guess, she conveyed a message for the Jimmy brothers and sisters: "Remy Jimmy ordered me to bring you a message...just like how I helped them."
"I see."
Until the truth is revealed, everything may be wrong.
For example, the Jimmy brothers and sisters emerge from the story.
It takes time for the pure black stone to accumulate strength. Lu Li took this opportunity to search Duanshan Island and found no strange things. He also confirmed that the cave was a safe place that even the strange fog could not approach.
As night falls, the pure black stone finally accumulates its second power.
Lu Li confirmed the time from the businessman Anthony who stayed here: nine o'clock in the evening.
Asking the businessman Anthony to follow him, Lu Li approached the pure black stone. In the depths of the darkness outside the cliff, a quiet street with weak streetlights on the edge of the woods appeared in front of him.
In a house with seeping light, Aunt Mary and Aunt Roseanne sat on the sofa and whispered sadly.
The breeze quietly blew up the stairs and through the closed door.
Qiao Qiao fell asleep on the desk, with shredded papers piled on the table in front of her.
The breeze blowing into the room gently brushed Qiaoqiao's ponytail, causing her to wake up leisurely.
"Lu Li? Are you back?" The sleepy Qiao Qiao breathed a long sigh of relief: "Where have you been? I thought the exorcist took you..."
Surprisingly, the passage of time also appeared in dreams, and the worry on Qiaoqiao's cheeks was difficult to dismiss as illusion.
