Chapter 343: Returning Home

Hal watched for a moment, but the man didn't say anything useful in his incoherent words, and it seemed that there were just a few words back and forth.

The man was completely immersed in his own world, and it was completely useless to speak or act in front of him. Even slapping him and hitting him didn't react at all, as if he didn't feel it at all.

Obviously, it is impossible to ask anything from him in such a state.

Turning his perspective, Chu Cheng found that the young man was holding Howl's hand tightly, looking very scared.

Hal patted him on the shoulder, and although he didn't say anything, it was clearly a message of "don't be afraid". The young man looked up at him, and sure enough, he breathed a sigh of relief, a little relieved.

Hal led the boy on. Chu Cheng thought about finding two more people to inquire about the "Stardust Land", but before he asked, he had already vaguely expected the result in his heart, and he didn't expect much.

Sure enough, a few more people had similar reactions. Either they watched them giggle, or they were babbling gibberish and saying something incomprehensible. In short, most of them are delirious, and no one even notices that someone is in front of them, let alone answering questions.

That's a surprise. Can the whole planet be crazy?

After discovering that the people in this place seemed to be about the same, Chu Cheng didn't delay any longer and asked more, and directly operated Green Lantern to take off again. He thought that it would be better to fly to another part of the planet and find people, such a big planet can't have only such a small village and town, and it is impossible to say if someone can talk in another place.

Although the speed limit of the lantern ring is in the atmosphere, as one of the hanging walls of the Zhenglian veteran, the flight speed is naturally not slow. The radius of the planetary is not as good as that of the Earth, and it doesn't take much effort to make a circle around the world.

Not long after flying again, the two found a small village again. But when I went down and walked around, I found that it seemed to be similar to the situation just now. The aliens encountered were either stupid or stupid, and none of them could speak.

A thought flashed through Chu Cheng's mind, wondering if there was something wrong with the planetary environment that would cause mental disability, or could it be someone who did it on purpose?

Rising into the air again, what they saw in their eyes was still a clear blue ocean, which seemed to be a beautiful planet full of birds and flowers, but now they looked at it completely different from when they first came down, only to feel that there was actually a dead air hidden under the vitality on the surface.

The people here look alive, but they don't know if they are alive or dead. The whole planet is gloomy, like a beast that chooses people to devour.

"I don't like this place." The boy whispered, "Can we go?" ”

"Just for a while, look elsewhere, still can't find it and leave." Chu Cheng reassured.

The young man was clearly afraid, but he nodded obediently and remained silent. He was wrapped in the green bubble, as if only the transparent shroud could give him some security.

He looked left and right in this cover, his eyes unconsciously looked out, and suddenly he saw something, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Huh!? ”

"How?"

Chu Cheng released the forward button, Hal braked the car, and the green bubble hovered in mid-air.

"There, just there," the boy said vaguely, his face dazed, "like! It looks like it! ”

It turned out that during the Green Lantern's liftoff, the bubbles they were riding flew over a wooded area, and he suddenly felt that the place looked familiar, and it was like a place where he and his grandfather grew up together.

As luck would have it, they landed in a nearby village to find out what was going on, and it was about to rise again. If it weren't for that, if he flew directly through the air at the speed of a Green Lantern, how could he recognize the environment, even if he was familiar with it?

When Chu Cheng heard him say this, he also felt that it was probably the most important clue of this trip, so he changed his course and fell over there.

The boy led the way, and the more he walked, the more he found that everything here was extremely familiar. He's been in this place for as long as he can remember, and until the day he parted with his grandfather, that's all he has for the whole world, so although he's been away for a while, he's still familiar with it.

Green Lantern followed him, winding through the woods for a while, and soon a hut appeared in front of him.

Similar to the huts in the previous villages and towns, they were also built with bare hands, simple and crude. But when the boy saw it, he felt very kind, undoubtedly his childhood residence, and rushed into the door with a shout of "grandpa".

But as you can imagine, his grandfather is naturally not in it.

The furnishings in the house are very simple. There are a few pieces of furniture that Chu Cheng has never seen, and he can't guess the purpose for a while, but the texture is also very rough and old. There was a heavy layer of dust in the house, and there was no sign of inhabitation.

Maybe it's true that his grandfather hasn't been back since the kid left.

Chu Cheng didn't know what kind of character his grandfather was, but if this kid was a remnant, then his grandfather must be the same. It is estimated that there are many people looking for the old man, and he may not know which force the old man has fallen into, just like when he found this child, he was locked up in some forbidden place and did not see the light of day.

Or maybe the old man was more alert and hid in another place. But Chu Cheng thought that if this was the case, the other party would definitely not have the reason to get out without taking the child with him, so it was more likely that the former would be the former.

The boy looked at the room with a bit of a stunned look, realizing that it was almost the same as when he left.

He walked to the side of the wall and reached out to touch it. Chu Cheng saw that there were several parallel scratches carved on the wall, and he didn't understand what this meant for a while. But then I saw the boy walk to the scratches, straighten his waist and lean against the wall, and then he understood.

This is a measure of the child's height.

Presumably, the child will stand by the wall every once in a while, and every time he grows taller, he will make a mark on the wall. This scratch is like a silent story that the years will not wash away, about the ordinary story of an old man and a child who depend on each other in this primitive old forest.

The young man's expression was in a trance for a moment. Chu Cheng operated Hal to exit the room, but he didn't disturb him for a while, but activated the green light perspective again.

Although it was true that the dust here did not seem to have been visited for many years, and he thought that since the leader of the Second Coalition of Clarafar had picked up the boy from here, he must have searched for all the clues that should be searched. It is even more unlikely that the past so many years will leave any traces of value.

But after all, the naked eye may have missed clues, and the lamp ring is much more reliable. So whether it is necessary or not, Chu Cheng has developed the habit of frequently switching perspectives to scan.

Unexpectedly, this scan didn't find anything from this hut, but it noticed other surprises.

"A sapient biological response has been detected." The light ring gives a hint.

This is not surprising. To the southeast of this forest was the town they had just visited, and the inhabitants of it, though stupid, were counted as intelligent creatures by the Lantern Ring.

But this time, the reaction from the scan came from the opposite direction of the village and town.

Chu Cheng still remembered that when he was looking down from the air just now, the place seemed to be behind a dense forest, barren and empty, with no human eyes in sight, and there seemed to be only one cliff.
