Mona, the little witch
Winnie Hills grabbed the book and clothes that had fallen from the ground, put on her clothes and left the house as she went, she strode into the depths of the forest, Thomas hurriedly got up and caught up with Winnie Hills, for he had a lot of questions to ask her, the sky was still raining cold, Thomas wrapped his coat tightly again, and followed the little girl with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Vinnie Hills strode forward as Thomas called out to her from behind, "Hey, Venisis, wait a minute. ”
She didn't stop to talk to Thomas, but walked through the slippery jungle on her own, and he continued to shout behind him, "Where is this?" Where are you going? What the hell is going on here, you heard what your mother said, you must know something, tell me......"
Winnie Hills didn't pay any attention to Thomas's shouting in the back, she still walked in front alone, which made Thomas curse secretly, this family is all weirdos, all crazy people, where the hell is this? I bet it's not Resley's spiritual world, and it doesn't make any sense at all.
Even so, he couldn't stand Winnie Hills stubbornly walking ahead.
He ran over and grabbed her by the arm and said, "Hey, Veniss, what the hell is going on?" ”
"Winnie Hills......" she corrected her name, staring only at him with that stubborn and unfriendly look.
Thomas let go of his hand, "Okay, I'm sorry, Winnie Hills, excuse me...... What the hell is going on? What does your mother mean by that? Thomas asked word for word.
Winnie Hills looked at him with a somewhat unfriendly look, rolled his eyes and exhaled again, "Well...... as you heard, literally, everything is like this here......" she swept her hand across the sky, "suddenly one day this place was frozen like this, and the sky has been like this since then, there is no sun, no moon, this rain has not stopped since that day, and since then, I have never stepped out of this forest." ”
"What?" Thomas was suddenly taken aback, "Since when?" What does it mean to never get out of this forest? ”
"Since then, the concept of time has not existed, it could be a week, it could be a few months, who knows, anyway, it's ...... like this, it's been like this for a long time, and I have forgotten what time is." Winnie Hills shrugged his shoulders and stepped back on.
"What about this forest?"
"There is no end to this forest, anyway, I guess you'll know ...... in a moment, and I don't want to say it, just because I'm afraid to scare you......" Winnie Hills said lightly.
"Why, then, did your mother ...... like that? Totally, very different attitude......"
Winnie Hills reluctantly walked forward again, Thomas walked side by side with her, and she said softly and a little sadly: "My mother was not like this before, she used to be enthusiastic and purposeful, she was the most cheerful and learned woman I have ever met, including the men here......" She deliberately looked at Thomas as she said this, "She always thinks that her knowledge is not enough, she is very curious about everything, and has a strong desire to learn, It feels like my mother is looking for something for something, she thinks that there are things in the lost civilization of humanity that she needs and needs to be rediscovered after a long loss, and she even asks for help from those ...... in order to get something," Winnie Hills paused, not knowing how to describe it, "the unnatural things, she was always working on strange herbal formulas, drawing strange figures, and ...... She also read some strange books, she said that she hoped to get some knowledge from ancient civilizations that had not been passed down, I believed in ghosts and gods, she thought that many things were hidden by ghosts and gods, and she could get what she needed with the help of the power of ghosts and gods. ”
"Can you believe it?"
"I don't know, at first my father and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but then it was out of control, and my father and I realized the seriousness of the matter, and we were very guilty that he should have stopped her earlier, and my mother started talking to herself at that time, mutilating small animals and mutilating herself, and she also taught herself Latin and Hebrew, and read a lot of strange books, and she began to secretly communicate with other people to learn the rituals of black magic, and he was still trying to prevent my mother from going back to the right path, She was very resistant, until suddenly one day she ...... That's what it looks like. ”
Thomas was a little silent and silently followed Vinny Hills, and she added to Thomas: "From that time on, I wanted to find a way out, I was driven crazy here, and every time I came out, I could feel something staring at me, and this feeling came again." ”
Both of their bodies were drenched in the rain, Winnie Hills' blonde hair was attached to her forehead, she brushed her hair and wrapped her clothes tightly, the tips of Thomas's hair were dripping, and the heat in his mouth dissipated in the air with wheezing, about ten minutes later, Thomas was stunned by the scene in front of him, he saw the cabin he had just escaped from, and he returned to the original point.
"See, that's it." Winnie Hills said flatly. "No matter which direction you go from, you'll end up coming back here, and I've tried countless directions and the end result is like this." She looked up at the startled Thomas, whose expression was also expected by her.
"This ...... We're going around in circles here......"
"Yes, just...... I thought your presence would break the cycle, and I guess my parents thought the same way, and we all thought wrong. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Obviously, we repeat these days every day, and you suddenly appeared here, I don't know why, you can't be part of the cycle here, and you just broke into here so suddenly, I don't know how you did it, I guess my father and mother want to know too."
She looked at Thomas with a hesitant expression, she sighed and continued to explain: "Everyone thinks that your presence will break this cycle, or you should know the exit, my father let you in, I guess he is to let you take me away, and my mother doesn't think so, should she want to kill you, or continue to keep this cycle, and I, I'm tired of this life, I need to get out, but this opportunity is left to me by my father." ”
Thomas completely understood the reason, he didn't know the way to break this cycle, he still wanted to tell her that everything here was not reality, but he didn't know how to express it, but he was still ready to tell Winnie Hills the truth, "Okay, I understand everything you said, but when I want to tell you, there is no reality in the whole world we live in, this belongs to a person's spiritual world, you know a person named Resley. Lyman's Girl? ”
Winnie Hills shook his head with a confused look at Thomas, snorted disdainfully, and said, "I don't know who Resley is. Lyman, I've never heard of it, I swear. Winnie Hills snorted coldly again, "I'm not surprised by what strange things are happening here, it's just that I don't understand what the spiritual world in your mouth is, can you explain it?" ”
Thomas was a little overwhelmed by her question, he didn't want to answer her question, even though he knew it was all in vain to explain it to her, "Actually, I don't know how to get out, I can only say that you made the wrong bet." ”
"Looks like ......," Winnie Hills turned around and walked back.
"Where are you going?"
"Where are you going? Of course I'm trying the other way, but knock on the door and go in and tell them, 'You're all wrong, it's not changed, it's just that I'm coming in.'" ’”
Yes, she was right, I don't know which direction I'm going to go now, let alone find my way, there is no sun, no stars, or even no direction at all?
Thomas followed behind Winnie Hills again, and Thomas shouted, "Hey, Winnie Hills......, do you have a needle?" ”
"What?"
"Needles, I said needles for sewing clothes...... or something like wire......"
Winnie Hills had no idea that Thomas suddenly asked her what she was going to do with the needle, "Are your clothes torn?" She thought Thomas was joking.
Thomas sighed and shook his head, "No, I'm going to make a simple compass, I just want to test it." In fact, Thomas's goal is not only to find a direction, but more importantly, to prove whether he is in reality or illusion.
It was only when he said that Winnie Hills understood what Thomas meant, "Okay, what are you going to do?" I don't have a needle here...... Is it okay to have a paper clip? ”
"Of course......" Winnie Hills pulled a paper clip from his notebook and handed it to him, Thomas straightened the paper clip, picked up a long leaf from the ground, and looked for another puddle of water everywhere.
Thomas gently placed the leaves on the water, Thomas took off his clothes and handed them to Vinnie Hills, asking her to stretch her clothes out as far as possible to cover the puddles of water, so as not to knock over the leaves or turn them around, Thomas rubbed constantly on the dry T-shirt, and after a while gently put the straightened paper clip on the leaves, and the leaves slowly circled in the water, and kept turning in circles, until the magnetism on the wire disappeared.
Winnie Hills looked at Thomas with a puzzled look, Thomas slowly stood up, wiped the rain from his face with both hands, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, he didn't feel the cold now, because he didn't have the heart to experience this late autumn ghost weather, he touched the water on his face.
"What does this mean?" Winnie Hills was eager to know why.
Thomas took the clothes from Vinnie Hills and shook his head and said: "The earth is a north-south magnetic field, friction wire will produce magnetism, magnetic wire will be affected by the earth's magnetic field will point to the polar direction, but the display here is constantly rotating, indicating that the magnetic field here and here is chaotic, and the constant circle is also in line with the result that we can see the wooden house continuously, I guess the wooden house is the center point of the magnetic field, as you just said that no matter what direction you go, you will eventually go to the wooden house." After listening to this, Winnie Hills squatted on the ground like a deflated ball, lifted the hood of her coat and looked at the sky, she looked helplessly at the gray sky and sighed, "It seems that this is the case, we will never get out." ”
Thomas was also in a helpless situation, he had never experienced such a directionless task, without any assistance, without any references, he did not know how to face it all now, his mind was as chaotic as the chaos of the environment here, he had no clue.
He felt strange that he had obviously entered Resley's spiritual world, why was her spiritual world like this, could it be a self-protection mechanism? Alfy Miller had told me that he had to find Resley to continue here, and then, was there any necessary connection between this girl and Risery? Is this girl and everything here the result of Resrigu's manifestation? Or is everything here a labyrinth built by Resley, who is she confusing?
If I can't even get through here, let alone save Resley, even I will be trapped in it, and my body may become a vegetative person who will never die, I can't ask anyone for help, and Affie Miller didn't come with me at all, so I can only rely on myself here.
Thomas forced himself to calm down, there must be a gap here, yes, Affie Miller once said, this place is not affected by the laws of physics, you can't be confused by everything in front of you, I must have missed something, Thomas is racking his brain to remember what he has experienced.
Winnie Hills watched Thomas move from place to place in front of him, she didn't know what he was thinking, she didn't know how to help each other get out of here, she didn't want to go back to the cabin that didn't belong to her at all, but she was afraid that she would relax and go back to that nightmarish cycle when she was young, she tried to look at Thomas with her spirits, she pinned her hopes on Thomas He had broken the cycle, she saw him walking around restlessly and a little deflated. Suddenly Thomas snapped his fingers, and he excitedly shouted to Winnie Hills, "Let's do it again, ...... quickly"
Winnie Hills seemed to hear the voice she had been waiting for, and she stood up in vigilance to follow Thomas's further instructions, and the two of them crouched down in front of the puddle and watched the rain fall and splash inside, and Thomas watched as Winnie Hills took the angel's feather from his bosom and showed her the angel's feather in his hand.
"What is this? Is it a feather? ”。
"Yes...... Special feathers. ”
"It's very beautiful, what kind of animal is it?" Thomas couldn't answer her question, "I guess you don't want to know ......"
