Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lost Story Nobody Knows: Entertainment
When the fog lifted, Lulunaka returned to the chapel on the cape. The sea breeze was refreshing, the sound of the sea was continuous, the sky was blue and the sea was quiet, as if she had never left at all, walked a long distance, and finally just came back here in a circle.
No house of worship could be as strange as the one on the cape, so what Lunaka saw in front of her eyes was undoubtedly the place she remembered, and whether it was real or not was another matter.
If there was anything different about everything in front of them, if Olga and the others were here, they would probably be surprised that this chapel did not look as dilapidated as they had seen when they first arrived. Clean brick walls, brand new gates, and the constant ringing of bells. Someone was ringing the bell, and in the Chapel of the Cape, Po wouldn't do such a thing, and Lulunaka had no such interest.
Lulunaka stood not far away, and in her line of sight, she could take in the entire chapel. "So familiar, yet so unfamiliar...... What year did this look like? I feel like I'm almost losing sight of it. β
As Lulunaka watched with interest, the door was pushed open and some people came out. It was a group of young children, both older and younger. They were dressed in a variety of costumes, from simple to ornate costumes, with a few children, and even strange skin tones with scales on their skin.
These children still have the innocence and of course the naughtiness of their age, and their squeaks are as annoying as birds, and Lulunaka can remember all the troubles of the past even when she stands at a distance.
Among these children, there was a man who was surrounded by these children. She was wearing a black nun's dress, and although she was petite, she was already tall among these children, although she was far less than an adult. The children tugged at her, which gave her a troubled look on her face, and she looked like someone who was hanging all over her body by dozens of chicks. Although she was pulled by these children, her face was full of boredom, but she didn't seem to have any intention of being rude to the children, and they still pulled herself.
Lulunaka touched her chin with a pensive look, "Was I so gentle before?" she muttered to herself, "and if that's the case, then it doesn't seem strange that I've taught a bunch of fools, bastards, and wretched creatures." Pampering children too much may not be a good thing for education......"
Surrounded by children, it was none other than Lulunaka. Lulunaka, dressed in a nun's dress, was not as gentle as Lulunaka in her cloak said, her face was full of irritability, and she didn't know what to say, which was in stark contrast to the laughing children around her. If this can be regarded as gentleness, then Lulunaka's standard judgment of gentleness is rather strange.
Lulunaka, a nun-gown, led the children to the back of the chapel, apparently intending to reach the end of the promontory that rose high. Seeing this scene, Lulunaka remembered all the things before. "These little fools are always wondering if they can catch fish in that kind of place, and God knows what rod can survive the crashing of the waves, and fishing in that place might as well hang people there, and maybe attract a few big fishβbut those fish can't be mouthful. β
At that time, Lulunaka had no interest in hanging people under the cape and being beaten by the wind and rain - perhaps this was a bit wrong, she had no such interest before, and she did not have it now. But at that time, she did often hang some guys who didn't have long eyes under that, hanging for a day and a night, a few days and nights...... Until the man collapsed or was half dead.
If you look at this matter, Lulunaka in the past is indeed gentler than she is now. At least Lulunaka, dressed in a nun's garment, will not hang Julius under the cape. Maybe, maybe, probably wouldn't do such a thing.
Lulunaka, dressed in a nun costume, disappears into Lulunaka's eyes with a group of children, who don't seem to notice the shabby Lulunaka, and of course it's possible that they won't be able to find it. "Shall I go and say hello? Hello, my past me, hello, my future me...... It's kind of funny in the end. β
As Lulunaka stepped in to follow, a voice came from behind her. "Why do you want to go over? Is this a very important thing?"
The voice Lulunaka was unfamiliar. It's not a strange thing that people can recognize the voices of others, but their own voices are always familiar but extremely unfamiliar.
Lulunaka turned to look at the owner of the voice. Now, Lulunaka is not surprised why another self has appeared. "Although I can't go and say hello to that one, it doesn't seem to be much different from saying hello to you. Lulunaka laughed, then waved at the new Lulunaka, "Hello, I was earlier. β
The new Lulunaka wears a yellow robe with a hood over her head, which makes her whole being melt into the shadow of the robe. This is Lulunaka with no smile on her face, and the aura that emanates from her is nothing to do with happiness. She had a solemn face, and if it weren't for the fact that she didn't look exactly the same, she didn't feel like Lulunaka at all.
She's certainly not Lulunaka, and in the distant past, Lulunaka wasn't called Lulunaka. She used to have many names, but now there was only one left, Lulunaka.
"Looking at you like this, it feels like I've got an extra mom...... Or sister?" Lulunaka looked at Lulunaka in front of her in a yellow robe, and sighed, "It's really shy to look at your past self. You're not going to teach me a lesson, are you?"
"What you need is not education, but introspection. Lulunaka, in the yellow robe, said, her voice cold, the same voice, but it sounded exactly like another person. "Before and now, you've always messed up everything, but you never think you've done anything wrong. You give strength to others, and others die of greed, you give wisdom to others, and others die of thought, you give freedom to others, and others die of indulgence...... You messed up everything, everything. β
"You're not really going to educate me, are you, the other me? God, it feels like you've got an extra mom, and then this mom still doesn't know how long ago she was!" Lulunaka looked pained as she held her head in her hands. Her exaggerated acting skills did not make Lulunaka, who was wearing a yellow robe, change her expression in any way.
"If you were me, you would know how I feel, right? It's like my mother, who I haven't seen for a long time, suddenly appears, and then says a lot of big things to herself, without even getting people to interject. Lulunaka continued, "Do you regret it? You repent! You are wrong, you are guilty, you should not be like this...... Saying annoying words, I want my child to die. Because people always hate their past selves, that's why I'm so irritated when I see you now. β
Lulunaka spoke, approaching herself in a yellow robe. The faces of the two were so close that their foreheads were about to touch. "Or is it true that I wasn't like this at all?"
"I am you, you are me. Lulunaka, the yellow-robed answer, was succinct.
Hearing her words, Lulunaka had an eerie smile on her face, "No, no, no...... You know what, if you were really me, then you wouldn't say something like that. You know what I'm going to say? I'm not you, you're not me. But I belong to you and you belong to me...... I am who we are, and we are who we are. I am one, you are one, and one is both me and you β one is us. β
The yellow-robed Lulunaka transforms into a mosaic and disappears in front of Lulunaka's eyes. The chapel of the cape, the forest in the distance, the blue sky and the sea were all reduced to mosaics, like broken glass, falling to the ground and no longer existing.
Lulunaka was now in a dark void space, holding a diamond-shaped purple crystal in her hand for some time. The crystal was the size of her fist, and its beautiful surface had a seductive glow. No one is not captivated by Lulunaka's possession, which can arouse the greatest desires and greed in manβbut it is more than that.
Lulunaka held the large piece of purple crystal in front of her eyes, "After so many years, you still don't have the ability to learn, but it is too difficult to expect a Dao to have such a function. But this year's tricks for me are quite interesting, and after reading my memory, you want to imitate me? β
The purple crystals showed long, dense cracks. Lulunaka continued, "Unfortunately, I know what you are, but you don't know me, and it's something you can't know. β
Cracks spread all over the surface of the purple crystal. Inside the crystal, a clear female voice sounded, "The damage has reached seventy-eight percent, the protocol has been damaged, and security measures are activated to protect the customer...... The number of customers in use now is ......" This female voice has no ups and downs, and she can't hear any emotion, although she speaks, but it can only make the person who hears it feel disobedient and suspicious. That's definitely not what a human voice should look like.
Lulunaka picked up, "The number of customers is 467.5 million, and I don't count a fraction of it. As an entertainment product, the consequences of your failure are staggering, and the number of deaths can already be recorded in history - unfortunately there will be no such record. But it doesn't seem like a strange thing, anyway, people have already disappeared once because of more exaggerated things, and entertainment products like yours have become nightmares about dreams and trials...... It's a pity, but it's also frustrating, I'm going to make you disappear before you break down completely. β
The female voice became fainter and more faint and faint, until finally it disappeared completely. The purple crystal in Lulunaka's hand turned into powder and dissipated into the darkness.
"Thank you for helping me a little until the end. Lulunaka looked at her empty palms with a faint smile on her face, "As an entertainment product, your problems are indeed fatal, but as a trial, sometimes they can bring me some interesting people or things." β
The darkness around Lulunaka suddenly vanished. She was once again in the fog, standing on the patterned floor. She never looked like she had ever left here, only for a short time.
"Let me see where everyone else has gone. Lulunaka stepped into the fog.
After that, she walked into the old building where Patin's and the others lived.
