"I don't understand, Master First Teacher. Jonah whispered, "You've used all your power to reach the world above, and that's all you can do?

"Let's just put it that way. Gilberto Gilbernet said leisurely: "Once we reach that world, we suddenly feel less angry, even if we know the truth, what can we do? We are just playthings of fate, and even if we exceed our limits, we still can't escape the cold rules." If you have enough time to love, it would be nice to stay with your sweetheart for a long time, - that's what I thought at the time......"

"You're talking about, Arian ......"

"Oh, Ann Lycia. ”

The expression of the first mentor was sweet and pathetic, "After 24 hours, the turbulence of time and space swept everything away, whether it was the astrological tower 'Annicia' or my lover Annicia, everything was compressed into a ball in the cracks of the world, I could feel her presence, but I couldn't touch her fingers, I couldn't see her smile, I couldn't hear her singing, Ann's voice was more melodious than the nightingale, even if I used ten thousand worlds, I couldn't get that beautiful singing voice back." I don't understand why my consciousness is still there, maybe it's the space-time star array that has triggered a strange chain reaction that allows me, a disheartened loser, to live forever in the cracks of time and space, grieving for my wrong decisions for a long time. ”

"So, where does the ghost come from?" Jonah was heartbroken by the deep remorse in his mentor's words, and he couldn't help but change the subject.

"The first time I was awakened was 45 years after the continental calendar, when an astrologer crossed the endless sea of sand on a sandworm merchant ship, and spent days in the Well of Light to find a way to open the space-time star array. If it weren't for his explanation, I wouldn't have known that so much time had passed, and there was no concept of time in my world, it was just the next moment after Alicia disappeared. He said that he had not only come to the Hajj as an astrologer, but also to pay homage to the initiators as a ghost, 'Ghost, what ghost?' I thought was strange at the time, because I had never heard of such a title before. We are ghosts who want to change the world, people who are not willing to be manipulated. He said, "We're still weak, but as long as free souls exist, the ghost organization will grow stronger and stronger." With that man's help, even the world above has our companions. "I said, 'Have you been to the world I have been to, and have you seen the star-maker?' and he replied, 'No, we are not in good power, and you are the only one who has been there.' But that man tells us what the outside world looks like, and that's enough, just imagine that the Garden of Eden will be peaceful and rich before our eyes. ’”

Jonah frowned, "In other words, the ghost organization only appeared after you first arrived in the upper world, and the ghost's goal was to break the wall to get there, and that's it?"

"Yes, the Ghost members think that the outside world is incomparably beautiful, and the world they live in is a garbage dump, and they can't wait to see that world," Gilbertion said. I guess the guy named Brandon Bartholomew made up a lie to motivate the ghost members, but the intentions were good, and I didn't say anything about it at the time. ”

"Why should this Monsieur Bartholomew help us, and what good will it do him if we leave the world and go to it?...... You said that he was already a middle-aged man when we met, then he should be an old man in his last years forty-five years. Jonah said.

"Not really. The first mentor shook his head: "Listen to me." More than eighty years have passed since the Second Visit, and the Audience was thrilled to tell me that they had finally found a Guide, a prophet known as the Listener who knew all the secrets of the world and could foretell every tiny event on the continent. Bartholomew tells them to follow the listener's instructions absolutely, as the listener will lead the ghosts to the cause of counterattacking the First World. Oh, by the way, they call the world we live in 'the world' and the world above it 'the first world', so it's easier to understand. ”

He recalled, "Thirty years after the Third Encounter, the Ghost Emissaries said that what they feared had happened, and that the First World Advent had begun to arrive, albeit in small numbers, but it did have an impact on the workings of the world. These Adventists will occupy our bodies, walk the world in our form, possess our memories, emotions, and abilities to perform perfect disguises. ”

"At the Fourth Audience, the Emissary said that an organization called the 'Red Brotherhood' is growing, that it is a puppet of the First World, and that preparations are being made for the mass arrival of the First World Humanity, and that the Ghost will fight tirelessly in this organization. ”

"At the fifth meeting, the messenger said that the war had begun, and the ghosts and the Brotherhood were engaged in a dark war around the candidates, these candidates were chosen by the listeners, and at a certain moment, a certain candidate would lead the ghost organization to counterattack the First World, so it became the first duty of the ghosts to protect the candidates. ”

"At the sixth hearing, the messenger said that a great event was about to happen, that millions of adventers were coming! It was a massive invasion from the First World, and even the listeners were powerless to prevent it from happening. However, listeners point out that this is also the time that the ghosts are waiting for, because one of the million Coming will become the true savior and bring eternal light to the world. ”

"Six encounters, every member of the Ghost who arrived at the Well of Light reported to me the growth of the organization, five hundred years later, with the unremitting efforts of twenty or thirty generations, the ghost has grown from a small underground organization to a huge group spread across the continent. Just a few months before the seventh visit, the messenger brought Brandon Bartholomew's greeting: 'The gears are finally at work, you and I have waited too long, just sit down and watch what happens, old friend.' I didn't understand what he meant at the time, until I saw you, and when I saw the staff in your hand, 'Sirafina', I finally knew that the history of 500 years ago would repeat itself at this time, and you would follow my will, travel across the continent to find the whereabouts of the six artifacts, and then summon the seventh artifact, 'Umang Heiman', and open the door with the power to communicate the two worlds. ”

Gilberto Gilberneon looked at the apprentice of the next generation, and Jonah pointed to his nose with trembling fingertips: "I...... Is this my fate, Mentor, but it is not my choice, I am just forced and pushed forward by all kinds of forces, and I have come here with the waves in the ocean of fate, I am not a brave explorer, I am not even a qualified astrologer, I am nothing compared to your strength and knowledge, I have never understood why fate chose me......"

The first mentor said, "If you can explain it, fate will not be fate." I have never told the truth, pretending not to know your identity, afraid that the true face of the world will carry a burden on your back. I'm wrong, you seem so calm when you hear the news of the 'first world,' you don't feel scared, you just feel anger and shame, right?"

Jonah bowed his head and said, "Yes, there is an Advent within me, an Advent from the First World. But I'm a little confused, Mentor, I don't hate him, this Adventist didn't erase my existence, but lived peacefully with me, exploring the world with curiosity, he was an optimistic, erudite, reliable man, I think if we could get along well, we would be friends......"

"Judge for yourself, and don't let ghosts, fraternities, or old fellows like me be swayed. Gilbertion patted the apprentice on the shoulder lovingly, "You are different from me, my heart is lonely, and you have never fought alone. ”

Jonah was quiet for a moment, then slowly looked up, "I see, Mentor. I wonder if that Mr. Brandon Bartholomew is the betrayer Seglas?"

"Segres?" the first mentor looked a little confused, "I've never heard that name. Bartholomew likes to be called 'Doctor', which is probably some kind of title from the world above, even if he uses a pseudonym, I guess he will also add a 'Doctor' after it. ”

The boy said in surprise: "I thought that the betrayer Segres had a close relationship with the ghost! Fate began to turn with a prophecy in his nameless book, it was he who guided me across the continent in search of artifacts, and I think he is a more powerful prophet than the listener...... Dr. Bartholomew sounds like a prophet, after all, he lived for more than five hundred years......"

Gilbertnayon laughed: "No, no, he is just a mortal, Bartholomew was just forty years old when we first met, and five hundred years have passed, and he is only sixty years old. The time scales of the two worlds are different, we spend a long year, and the first world may only pass a minute. However, at the moment of the mass arrival of the Adventist a few months ago, the time of the two worlds finally coincided, as the Ghost Messenger told me. ”

Jonah suddenly fumbled in his underwear pocket, took out a few pages of anonymous book scraps and handed them to the first teacher: "This is the prophecy of the anonymous book, every one has been fulfilled, I can explain it to you from the first one......"

"What are you talking about? Gilbertnaion flipped through the pages and wondered, "These are just a few yellowed pieces of papyrus, and there is no writing on them?"

The boy hurriedly said: "How can it be? You see, it is clearly written here: 'On the 5th of October, the sun was pierced by a sharp sword, and they gathered together, and they could not see each other, only the sky and their heels. ’......”

Gilbertion muttered, "Have you shown these prophecies to others?"

"Nope. - Except for the one who came. Jonah replied.
