Chapter 33: An Intractable Crisis
"Whew! Damn, I don't know how many rooms of monsters I have to fight to get out! Cao Shen put the last monster in the third room, and when the door opened, there was another room full of monsters, which looked even more powerful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Since you have entered the door of death, you must have the consciousness of death!" The Army set was the first to enter, followed by the others.
Small town, inside the inn.
"Uncle, since everyone is repeating the life of the previous day, why don't you be affected? Also, how do you know to wake them up and we'll be able to leave? After listening to what the old man said before, Childe asked two questions.
"I can't answer either of these questions, and I don't know why I know this or why I'm not affected. I just know that whenever someone comes, at night there will be companions who will become clay figurines in my hands, sometimes one, sometimes more. I have already told you how to leave, and whether you believe it or not is your own business. The old man got up and left.
"Wait!" Feng Wuwei stopped the old man.
"Want to do it?" The old man's expression remained unchanged, looking at Feng Wuwei who was blocking in front of him.
"Let the old man go." Childe opened his mouth and said, "I think the old man is also innocent, so let's not be angry with him." “
"However, the clay figure is clearly there..."Feng Wuwei was indignant, hesitated, but moved to the right and made way for him.
When the old man saw this, he didn't leave, sat back on the stool, picked up the water that the boy had handed him before, and drank it.
"Uncle, I guess I have something to tell the juniors?"
"Seeing that you young man knows the time, the old man will tell you more."
Han Lie and the others were happy, according to what the old man said, only the old man in the city knew that the days were repeated, so no one would know the more detailed situation. The reason why Feng Wuwei wanted to stop the old man was because he wanted to know more.
"The old man doesn't know how to wake them up, but the old man knows how not to wake them up." The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "Before you, there were many people who had been here, and if you were a little smarter, you could remember when you saw the clay figure that the old man had placed at the door. After that, the old man appeared, and after telling the reason, he saw a lot of the ways that those people used to wake up. “
"The most common thing is to call Xiao Er and the shopkeeper over immediately and tell them directly, of course, it's all about trying, hoping for what happens, it's useless." When the old man said this, Han Lie coughed dryly, a little embarrassed, because he had thought so just now. Then I heard the old man say: "There are also clever, money, or direct orders, or even mental control, to force these people to 'know' that they have been living a repetitive life." However, it is useless, I think that only let them be spontaneous, uncontrolled, and understand from the heart, at least in the same state as you woke up. “
"That's the first category, and then the second category. Let this place make a huge change, to put it bluntly, I still don't want to believe in such a thing as memory loss, and I always feel that there is an enemy hiding in the small town, and once I do too much, it will come out. Speaking of this, there was some memory in the old man's eyes, and his expression became sad.
"Uncle, we're not going to do that kind of thing." Childe saw the fire in the eyes of the old man, saw the burning, killing and looting, and felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort the old man like this.
"Hopefully." The old man calmed down, looked at Childe deeply, and then said: "No matter how much change those people make, even if they destroy the whole city, everything will be restored the next day, and there will still be companions who will become clay figures, until everyone disappears, and all the clay people will disappear." “
"Then there's the third category, which is a bit better and doesn't do much damage. Do something to help others, gain the trust of these residents, and then tell them the truth, even if they are treated as insane, there are few complaints. Or a miracle to tell the inhabitants that this place has been transformed by the forces of evil, which of course makes sense, and perhaps it is. “
"Some of the residents really believed it, but it still didn't work. Although they made a lot of efforts and did not use coercive means, even the old man was moved by a few people, but it could not change the fact that they failed. The old man thought about it for a long time, and thought that the reason was that he did not let the few residents who believed their words recall what had happened before. In other words, this is still passive, not the residents themselves. “
After the old man finished speaking, he drank all the water in the cup, and everyone fell silent.
"So, it's inexplicable?" For a long time, Han Lie said bitterly.
"We have to try, we can't just sit and wait." Feng Wuwei left with his little junior brother, asking and explaining from door to door. What is rare is that even if he is scolded for being neurotic, he will not get angry, and he still patiently persuades.
"Childe, what should I do?" Han Lie didn't want to disturb Childe, but he couldn't think of any way, and looked at the clay figure of Senior Brother Zeng Jian on the table, very sad. The thought of becoming like this makes me despair.
"Raw, raw! Since it is a way to live, there must be a way out. People who can create such a place can easily set up a way to kill themselves and others. As long as it's not boring people who make this place, there's bound to be a way out. Childe muttered to herself, and the Majin princess had been sitting quietly beside him, her cloak hidden, and her expression could not be seen.
"Uncle, please do one thing, tomorrow..."On the eve of the evening, the son asked the old man. Feng Wuwei and the little junior brother also came back, with a tired face and no progress, not even those who believed, let alone those who could recall.
A rooster crows from outside, and a footstep comes from outside. "Guest officer, your breakfast has been prepared, you can come down to eat." With a white cloth on his shoulder, Xiao Er, who bowed slightly, knocked on the door and said.
"Childe." As soon as I came out, I saw Childe, who had entered together, and the Majin princess had just come out of the guest room next to her.
"Guest officer, the meal for the three of you has been prepared, and it is at the table by the window." On the counter, the shopkeeper said to Han Lie with a smile.
"I'll eat something first, and I'll wait to get out." Han Lie stayed at the dinner table, and Childe and the Majin princess walked towards the outside of the inn.
As soon as he walked out of the inn, an old man came up to him and said to the son: "Guest officer, don't you wake up yet!" The voice was very loud, attracting the attention of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er in the inn.
Childe stopped there, a little unclear, and felt the shopkeeper behind him and some guests watching over, so he invited the old man aside and asked, "Uncle, what did you mean by waking up?" “
When the old man heard Childe answer like this, he knew that Childe still hadn't remembered yesterday's events, and according to Childe's request in advance, he continued, "You will go in a while..."
This paragraph was written down by Childe and handed to the old man, Childe went out to look for it twice, and the route he took was very similar, very Childe's style. Deliberately tell these to Childe to see if they can be used again.
At this time, the son was shocked, and he didn't know how the other party knew so much about him.
When the old man saw Childe's reaction, he knew that it still had no effect, and then said, "You were originally a group of seven people, and it has been the fourth day since you came here..."
Childe pondered for a while and said, "I believe what you said, but according to what I thought yesterday, it is still a failure now, because I still don't remember anything about the previous day. ”
"Hey." The old man sighed and took out the two clay figurines, which were the senior brother and junior brother of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
"This!" Seeing this, Childe had some enlightenment. took out the other two clay figures found in the room, which were Zeng Jian and Liu Lin'er. But after half a cup of tea, everything before and after was recalled. But he kept sighing, because he still had to go through the mud man to wake up, but the inhabitants of the small town would not become mud man!
"Hey, Childe, why are you still here?" Han Lie, who was full, walked out and looked at the three of them strangely. Childe's heart moved, and he asked the old man to ask Han Lie in order.
"So that's what happened!" Han Lie was extremely surprised, and Childe was very disappointed, because Han Lie also remembered it when he saw the clay.
"Yesterday, the two people of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion turned into clay figures, so what about today! Who will turn into a clay figure today! Han Lie was a little broken, yelling indiscriminately. Childe gently knocked Han Lie unconscious and handed it to the Demon Princess, making Han Lie faint for a while. Then ask the old man to walk around the town with him and think of a way.
Afternoon.
Han Lie woke up and found himself lying on the bed in his room, with a faint pain in his head.
"Don't look like this, I'm fine." The demon princess was entrusted by Gongzi to take care of Han Lie, so naturally she didn't want him to go crazy. The way of the Majin princess is very simple, just stun again. Seeing her posture, Han Lie hurriedly dodged and said that he was fine.
Seeing that although the Majin Princess had stopped, she still looked like she was going to fight at any time, Han Lie hurriedly lay down on the bed and signaled that he was fine.
The Majin princess walked over and made sure that Han Lie no longer showed signs of making crazy moves, before she lifted her attacking stance.
"Childe told me that anger doesn't help, the most important thing is to solve the problem." Han Lie said, "It was many years ago that I met Childe, who not only opened a door to a new world for himself, but also taught himself a lot of truths. It's just that I can only remember, but I can't do it. “
Han Lie reclined on the bed and looked out the window.
"You're familiar with Wuchen, right? Can you tell me a little bit about his past? Han Lie couldn't help but be stunned when a pleasant voice like a lark came, it was the first time he heard such a nice voice, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was the demon princess who was talking.
Han Lie thought about it carefully, sorted out his words and thoughts, and slowly narrated it to the demon princess starting from his encounter with Childe.
As the sun set, Childe and the old man returned to the inn together, and Han Lie had just finished speaking to the Demon Princess.
