A strong feeling of suffocation filled the chest and lungs, Luo Di opened his eyes violently, and the cold air instantly filled his chest and abdomen, so that he couldn't help curling up, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down the diary and made a "click" sound.
The surroundings were quiet, three kerosene lamps provided steady light, and Roddy fumbled with the blanket on his body to see the familiar basement, only to realize that he had passively entered the world of the diary just now, with a first perspective.
As soon as he remembered the last content of the diary, Roddy felt a sense of suffocation invade again, Atana died in the back garden, and the strange dismemberment process made Roddy's head chaotic, with no murderer and no tools to commit the crime.
"How can the tables, chairs, and curtains be murderers?"
The heightened sense of suffocation and chaos tormented Roddy, and he tried his best to stay calm and regain his freedom, but some fragmentary memories appeared in his mind that drove him to endure the pain.
"Join us..."
This is a phrase that Roddy recalls before he lost consciousness.
.....
At three o'clock in the morning, Roddy woke up to find himself back in his room, feeling the warmth of the futon, and a petite, blonde man was sitting at his desk and napping.
Roddy frowned slightly, and when he tried to get up, he found that he was weak, accompanied by a labor pain in his head, and the sound of pain made Ash quickly wake up from half-asleep.
He came to the side of the bed and helped Roddy to sit up, looking at Roddy with a worried look on his face, which made Roddy unaccustomed for a while.
"What time is it. ”
Roddy asked, clutching his head.
"Twenty-two, Tuesday, three o'clock in the morning. ”
Ash replied in detail, watching Roddy fall into deep thought without interrupting, which was completely different from his previous enthusiastic state, showing the rigor that an adult man should have.
"Why are you at my house?"
Roddy had already determined that he had only been unconscious for four minutes at most, and although it didn't take long, Ash's presence was still there, and then Roddy felt a sense of security.
"The church sent a potion at midnight, and the captain asked me to let you know at noon today. ”
Roddy looked at Ash half surprised, half delighted.
"But you can't wait to see how excited I look, so you came straight to me as soon as you got the news?"
Ash scratched his head in embarrassment, apparently Roddy was right.
"I'm excited, but you can tell I don't have much strength right now. ”
Roddy spread his hands helplessly.
Ash looked at Roddy with a complicated expression, motioned for Roddy to wait a moment and quickly leave the room, and returned in a very short time, while he already had a cup of steaming bitter tea in his hand.
"That's all I found, you drink and warm up first. ”
Ash handed the bitter tea to Roddy and sat on the edge of the bed with a complicated expression.
Feeling Ash's gaze, Roddy took a sip of bitter tea and felt the comfort of warmth rushing from his tongue to his stomach, and said after a comfortable sigh of relief:
"I'm not sick, you don't have to worry about my body. ”
"Really?!" Ash stared at Roddy in disbelief, which made Roddy smile helplessly.
"Really, but it's not what you think, but... Or maybe worse. ”
Roddy briefly told him about the diary, and Ash immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, anything that could not be treated with common sense meant extraordinary, and extraordinary meant danger, and Roddy had obviously borne part of the danger.
In fact, Roddy knew that the reason why he was in a coma was not only because of the diary, but also because of a memory, a memory that belonged to the real Roddy when he died.
"Is this the diary?"
With a serious expression, Ash picked up a journal from his desk, which was Atana's research diary.
"Did you see it?"
Roddy looked at Ash solemnly, and Ash gave him an affirmation.
"Normal?"
"It's normal. ”
Roddy took the diary suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to the first page, gradually realizing that the diary was only described in some daily life, and there was no mention of research, mysterious ancient books, and strange furniture.
"How... Could this be the case?" muttered Roddy, noting that there was no trace of the erased research in the diary as Smith had said, that he did not think that Smith had to lie, and that he had experienced it himself.
"I suggest asking the captain. Ash closed the diary for Roddy, perhaps fearing that Roddy would be in danger again, so he put it in the bag he carried with him.
"We have to pay enough attention. ”
Roddy took a deep breath and relaxed back on the head of the bed, a few minutes later lifted the futon and prepared to head to Scream Beach.
"Now, no, you need to rest more. ”
Ash tried to stop Roddy, but Roddy said in a firm tone:
"I have to see the captain. ”
....
"Thank you. ”
This is Roddy's heartfelt thanks, and the sincere tone and expression make Ash a little embarrassed, this adult man in his twenties is like a praised schoolboy, and there is something cute.
Walking through the silent streets, the two soon came to Screaming Seaweed and took the elevator to the Guardian Squad's underground base, where Mr. Em was still sitting on the couch drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, and his laid-back appearance couldn't help but make people think about sitting down and drinking a cup of coffee.
However, Roddy still had business to do, so after a brief hello, he went straight to the captain's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in. ”
Bob's distinctive voice peeked through the door, and Roddy gently pushed open the office door.
"Sit. Bob seemed to be in a good mood and then added:
"I have to say you're really lucky. ”
Bob picked up a document and handed it to Roddy.
"There are three options here. ”
Roddy took the list, if it was yesterday or if he hadn't experienced the diary, he would be very excited by now.
"Your reaction was a bit of a surprise to me. ”
Bob crossed his chin with his hands crossed, returning to his usual serious style.
"Tell me something. ”
Roddy took out his diary and quickly described it all over again.
Bob cautiously picked up the diary and looked at it a few times, but did not open it to read, but took out a pocket watch from the drawer and handed it to Roddy.
"I'll look into the diary, it's a simple and extraordinary artifact that can help you somewhat. ”
Roddy took the pocket watch and found it identical to Mr. Isad's.
"Looks like you're really lucky. Bob repeated, "Take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted to extraordinary." ”
Luo Di glanced at the document in his hand and understood that extraordinary promotion is equally important, only when he is promoted can he have the ability to protect himself and have a guaranteed contact with extraordinary, and things have to come one by one, the ancestor said well, you can't become a fat man in one breath.
"Captain, which of these three sequences do you think is best for me?"
