Chapter 262: The Matter of the Mountain Master
In the middle of the night, I was still writing an investigation report on the World Snake and a reply to my only friend now, Wei Haizhong.
My hands shook when I saw the name, but I quickly calmed down again.
He was the only one who could help me, but I didn't know how to tell him what I knew about the process in the most direct and truthful way.
Truth, the word, seems to me to be very vague, I see a window in front of my eyes, but I have an impulse in my heart to break this deception, but who can tell me that the outside world is real?
Although Lao Liu and I are working here, he has not discovered the illusion we are seeing now.
It's not because he's not sharp enough, in fact, he's smarter than me, although he walks the literary road, but he has a strong insight, maybe he doesn't find it, he's just afraid to believe, because we can't resist, it's fate, it's something we can't see.
I asked him if he had done anything regretful, and the other party would reply impatiently, "Don't ask about these useless things, don't think about so many useless things all day long!" Looking forward is the right thing, and it's useless to say anything in the past. ”
I don't believe that he is denying him by saying this, and in fact he is comforting himself.
We felt quiet in the mountains, but we also had a lot of time to leave and observe the sky and the earth.
There was a time when I was out. I found an ancient tomb, which is a Han tomb, and you can see its approximate size from the topography.
It was like a giant serpent, entrenched here, and if you looked around from a high ground, you would see its body, but every time I was eager to try, I didn't dare to go alone.
When I asked Lao Liu privately, he told me that there was a mountain seeker there, who was guarding the spirit, and the giant snake we encountered that day may have been raised by him.
Snake?
Is it deceiving me and showing me the world it sees?
I lingered on it, thinking that I could take a gun and go up the hill to find the snake, but I didn't have the courage, and I only went around the woods a few times and came back.
Until, when I told Lao Zhong about this idea, he felt the same way and wanted to come and help me, but I refused, because I didn't want to trouble him, and I didn't know what the consequences would be.
The information in Sichuan was very messy, and I couldn't sort it out, so I chose to give up and started asking the Prophet, but I didn't dare to tell him too much, I was afraid......
I'm afraid I'll be seen through by this person again...... Yes, he sees too much, and every time I call him, I always hear too many questions from him about people and things, and what he senses.
When I asked about the disaster, he suddenly became very focused, and he said that he was trying to change, but I really didn't know what he was doing, probably no one understood what he did, and even if he wanted to tell me, we might not be able to understand.
I hung up the phone, but I felt restless, I was afraid of myself, I was afraid that what I saw and heard was not true.
It's as if they've all become prophets, and it's confusing.
One time when I was talking to a guy and I didn't know what I asked him, the guy actually told me, "He saw the snake!" ”
No, I'm sure sure, snake! I definitely didn't bring it up, but he said it, and it came out very suddenly.
When I heard the snake, I felt myself tremble constantly, and I managed to control it.
"Where?" I asked him coldly, but I seemed to have become another person, a stranger.
But the other party didn't seem to notice my change at all, and whispered to me, "It's in our underground base!" ”
I was shocked, and then I took someone to look for it.
Our base is huge, it's built underground, and the project is so large that all of us together only occupy a third of the space, and the rest of the location, some are off-limits, and some are equipped with highly dangerous equipment.
The history of the construction of this base dates back to 79 years, and it is said that it was designed by a Soviet engineer.
But in that long passage, even though I was already familiar with it, I didn't dare to go too far, because in that darkness I would forget something.
However, after that, I started to search everyone, but after a long time of searching in the area where we could move freely, I didn't find a single snake creature.
Obviously, the man deceived everyone, but I didn't think so, I asked the man to look for him, and we followed him.
But the further I walked in, the more depressed I felt, but I didn't want to stop here, so I gritted my teeth and continued to walk, as if to confirm a truth.
It wasn't until we came to the third basement floor, when we were at the gate of the forbidden area, that the man pointed to the iron gate marked with a forbidden passage on it and said, "I saw that snake crawling in!" ”
We stood outside the door, Lao Liu shook his head, "This is a forbidden area, we can't enter, and you can also see that the door here is closed, can the snake still open the door and close the door?!" ”
No one spoke, everyone began to retreat, but I stood still, Lao Liu pulled me and whispered, "Don't mess around!" ”
I glanced back at him and knew that he was doing it for my good, but what I saw was different from what they saw.
I felt that the snake was coming back with us, so I had to find him, and see through his eyes once and for all, what was real and what was false.
For this thought, I was sure to act alone, because I had the ID cards for all the passages here, and I opened the door, and there was indeed a snake in the door, but it was huge, and there was a seeping light in its eyes.
And beside it, there were piles of bones, and those bones were written all over them, and I saw what they were, and they were their memories, and there were things in them that they feared and what they longed for.
But I can't help them, I can't do anything, because they're gone from this world.
Why did they die here, was it because of the serpent? Perhaps! I looked into its eyes, the snake, it was alive.
It and the bones here are sealed, as if it were a piece of history, but these are what I have seen, I have found the key, maybe this is also a disaster.
The eye contact with the serpent made me see everything that had happened in the past, and that there had been a catastrophe here in the past, and that someone would re-establish this place in the future.
However, through the eyes of the serpent, I could see that they were a harbinger of the future here, and that calamity would come.
Finally the serpent closed its eyes and fell asleep, and I woke up, looked at the bones all over the ground, and finally left the place.
I was in a panic, not knowing who to talk to about these things, and I wasn't sure if they were true or not.
Was that skeleton all killed by the giant snake? I'm really not sure, if it is, then it's obvious that the disaster is it, why does it tell me this?
I crouched around my room, and finally decided to write it all down and call the Prophet, but when I told him what I knew, he didn't answer for a long time.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked uneasily.
Then the other party said, "You don't believe in yourself, but you don't understand why you doubt it, maybe what you see is what you want to see, not the truth!" ”
I didn't seem to understand, but I still hummed, and then I heard the other person say, "Have you deceived us?" ”
I didn't know how to answer, but in the end I said, "I didn't, at least I didn't feel like I was lying to you." ”
"Then there are only two problems, either you have a problem, or what you see is a problem?"
Hearing him say this, I suddenly paused, and just about to explain, I felt that this sentence made me suddenly enlightened.
What if it's your own problem? Then I shouldn't be thinking about it, because I tell myself that the problem is with me, and no matter what I think, there may be a problem.
I nodded immediately, "You mean I need to find this to help me determine what's wrong?" ”
"I can't help," he said, "because I still have a lot of calculations, including the possibility you just mentioned, and I have to send someone to investigate the clues of that giant snake." ”
I was a little frustrated when I heard him say this, but after I hung up the phone, I thought of a person, and this person was Lao Zhong.
His job was leisurely, just sorting out the papers, so I sent him two letters, one for him and the other for the Inspectorate.
A few days later, he replied to me with a letter, but the wording was crude, somewhat like a rejection, but at the end he agreed to it.
For the next few days, I went to the place where the serpent was kept, and hesitated to go in and take another look.
This also aroused Lao Liu's concern, but I didn't reveal much to him, perhaps...... I'm still doubting myself — that strong delusion.
