63 Flax and Helen (middle)
The person who followed us was none other than Huma's sister, Helen. Christopher.
At first, I thought it was someone with bad intentions, so I changed my return reservation. But after Hu Ma also realized that we were being followed, I already sensed from the stalker's extremely layman's tailgating technique that I was probably misunderstood. Hu Ma quickly grabbed her from behind the telephone pole not far behind, and after seeing her face clearly, he immediately involuntarily said, "Huh? Helen? Why? Why are you here? β
Helen appeared to be about twenty-three or fourteen years of age, and had brown hair and red eyes, but no dog ears. Dressed in similar civilian clothes as the last time I saw her at the Sheepskin Killer. Specifically, he was wearing a white dress inside, a light green light coat outside, and a small brown leather bag. The luggage should have been left somewhere else.
She was a little embarrassed at first, but quickly reined in, and in turn took on a straightforward look, saying, "Can't I be here?" β
"This ...... It's not that you can't ......," Hu Ma was actually asked.
I said, "He said, "He means, why are you following us?" β
Hu Ma nodded like garlic, "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" That's what I mean. β
Helen hummed, but did not speak immediately, but looked at me scrutinically for five or six seconds before answering. She treated me quite politely, and her words and sentences were more coherent than flax. People can't help but feel that she is not so much Huma's sister as a sister-like character. She said that she saw Hu Ma's message when he left home yesterday, and knew that he was going to rest in peace, and she happened to have a vacation, so she set off at noon today. There seems to be a part of this that people like flax who don't have much heart and take their juniors to work in the field. Originally, she wanted to go shopping alone first and then make a phone call, but unexpectedly, she saw us halfway through and followed us with interest.
"All in all, that's what it is." Helen's gaze shifted to the sides of my left and right hands, and then smiled and stretched out her left hand, "I'm Helen. Christopher, Jarvis's sister. My family, YΓ‘rvis, has been taken care of by you. β
"You're a sister, right?" Huma protested.
"We are twins, and although you came out first in order, there is no real order. Besides, you're always so naΓ―ve, and everyone else says I'm more like a sister. I've been doing a lot better than you since I was a child, and you've been under a lot of pressure to be an older brother, right? I'm being considerate of you. Helen smiled confidently.
Hu Ma immediately retorted: "Where am I naΓ―ve? Besides, I'm a policeman now, so it's decent to say it, okay! β
I deliberately ignored the bickering between the two, first changed the cane to my right hand, and then held Helen's left hand, "Hello, I'm Xu Fu." β
Then he added, "I should be grateful for Huma's care." β
"By 'flax' mean you?" Helen turned her head to look at flax.
"This is my code name in the Public Security Bureau." Hu Ma said.
"Sounds cute." Helen thought, "Should I get one for myself?" β
"We're going to the museum, and you're going to do it too?" I asked.
"Let's do it together." Helen smiled and nodded.
It took about fifteen minutes to walk to the museum. In fact, this is not the first time that Hu Ma and I have entered the Sabbator Museum. In the town of rest in the dream world, Hu Ma and I have also visited, and what we have seen and heard is exactly the same as at this moment. Hu Ma also understood that the original resting town was a dream not long ago, and he looked at these scenery at this time, his eyes were a little dazed. I knew what he was thinking, and he was probably wondering if he was still dreaming.
I also have this doubt in my heart, that I am not in the real world. And if one is deeply skeptical, it is almost impossible to get rid of it. There is a saying that "if you want to add sin, there is no excuse for it", and if a person sincerely refuses to believe that "reality is reality", then no one can convince him. The same is true of violence, as are many dream technologists who have drifted away from the study of dreams. Even the Turin doctor, who proclaims that "we must be happy in reality", may have had the suspicion that "our world is just a big dream". No, she must have had, there's no doubt about it.
However, instead of pursuing the questions floating in the sky, it is better to face life in a down-to-earth manner. It's also a smart way to do things.
"How did the people of the Hell Age end the Havoc?" Helen was looking at the ancient relics in the glass case. It is said to be an ancient relic, but people hundreds of years ago have already entered the information age. If it weren't for the hell catastrophe, I'm afraid that I would have gone to the stars at this time. And these things are old modern items no matter how you look at them.
"While it is still a mystery in reality, there are some different versions of it in religion." I replied, "One of them is that the sun god himself descended on this sunless land and destroyed the doomsday gods. β
"I've heard the Zoroastrian monks say that, too." Helen nodded.
"There's an earlier version of the legend." I said, "It is said that the sun god did not come down on his own, but was summoned by the Zoroastrians of the Hell Era." β
"And that said?" Hu Ma looked at it curiously.
"This is a modified version of the Holy Flame Classic, which has been deliberately downplayed by Zoroastrianism since decades ago. But if you look carefully, you can still find it. I said, "The details are that among the Zoroastrians of that time, there was a man who was known as the 'savior.' He selected a small elite team from among the Zoroastrians and set out for the place where the Doomsday God was. After a lot of hardships and heavy losses, they finally came to the face of the gods of doom. Then the ritual of summoning the sun god was arranged, and the sun god was summoned. β
"It is said that the power of the sun god surpasses that of all the gods of all history, so that mortals can destroy themselves if they look at it alone." At the same time, his body is also like the sun itself, and its mere existence will vaporize everything around it, and even cause an unprecedented explosion. The development after that is no different from the modified legend, you should know it, right? β
"The Doomsday Deities and Saviors were caught up in the earth-shattering explosion and disappeared ever since." Helen nodded, "And the sun god has returned to his realm, never answering any call again." β
I affirmed her words, and then thought: If the information I and Hu Ma got from the nightmare of the town is genuine, and that Zoroastrianism was once really an evil religious group that believed in otherworldly gods, then the so-called sun god is probably the same as Hasta's otherworldly god. And the so-called "realm where the sun god is located" is the realm of other universes.
"The previous dream knowledge is also the same, Xu Fu knows so much." Hu Ma looked at me with admiration, and then asked curiously, "Why do you know so much?" β
"I used to really want to be a psyker, so I've been actively learning about things that come into contact with the world of psykers." I say.
"Become a psyker?" Hu Ma looked at me with a puzzled look. In his opinion, it was not good at all to become a psyker. It is not surprising that he had been tormented by psionic powers as if he were in hell on earth.
"I even pestered my dad before I went to junior high school, saying that I was going to learn martial arts." I smiled at him, "If you learn martial arts well, you can not only become physically strong, but also develop self-confidence." Good health and self-confidence are both qualities that can easily increase the chance of psionic awakening. So I practiced quite diligently, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I get up early and stay late. But unfortunately, I don't even have the talent to learn martial arts. And people who are more talented than me are grabbing a handful. Not to mention developing self-confidence, but to make it completely self-confident. β
I continued, "When I realized that I couldn't make any progress even if I stayed, I quit that gym. That was about three years ago. And as you can see, I'm not even as good as the average person now, and I can't even get back into exercising if I want to. β
"It's a shame." Hu Ma was deeply distressed. He was so sincere that I was a little ashamed.
"Even if you are physically disabled, it is not necessarily impossible to awaken your spiritual energy." Helen encouraged, "And in today's society, as long as you have a good mind, you still have a chance to get ahead." Go for it! β
A moment later, we walked out of the museum.
It was already late in the evening, and we were on our way back to the hotel. Helen also booked a room at the Fugu Hotel. She said halfway through that she was going to see her clothes again, and parted with us first. Hu Ma followed me, looking back at the corner where she had disappeared.
"Don't worry?" I asked.
"Hmm." He nodded.
"The level of security in this place is much higher than in Beaver City." I said, "And she seems to be more precautionary than she seems." At least a lot better than you. She does look more like your sister. β
"I'm my brother." He protested quietly, then fell silent and changed to a more confident tone, "Although she is much more mature than me, I want her to live a more carefree life." Moreover, she is not as strong as me. In case of other unexpected crises like the last time you encountered the sheepskin killer, it will be too late. Since I have psionic powers, I must do my duty to protect her well. β
He closed the coffin and said, "So I have to be my brother." β
"Then go ahead." I patted him on the shoulder.
"But you ......," he hesitated.
"I'll sit in the shop over there for a while." I pointed to a nearby bubble tea shop.
He looked closely, then nodded to me and ran in the direction Helen had left.
I went and bought three cups of milk tea and drank one of them slowly. Just then, I noticed a child wandering outside the store, who was about to start elementary school. For a long time, the child stood alone and wiped away tears. I put down the milk tea, walked over and asked. The child was a little wary, but when he looked at my hands and feet, he seemed to think that I was incapable of doing bad things, so he was relieved and choked up and said things like "I lost my parents".
Just as I was about to take him to the police station, Helen came from a distance with a shopping bag, and she looked at me and the child in surprise, "What's wrong?" β
"Where's flax?" I looked at her side, "Didn't he go looking for you?" β
"What?" She was also surprised, "I didn't see him?" β
Her face changed suddenly, "Could he be lost......
"Lost?"
"He's been lost a lot of times." She scratched at her hair in annoyance, "Oh no, we can't have lost him......"
Hearing this, I looked down at the child next to me.
The child looked up at me innocently.
