Chapter 225: The Secret Behind the Strange Tales
Looking at the wooden box in front of me, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
"What the hell is here?"
Xie Chen gently placed his hand on the wooden box, and he could feel these delicate patterns, all of which were carved by hand little by little.
And some vicissitudes can be seen inevitably above.
I can also tell that this thing has a sense of age.
"It seems that it is also something from Grandpa's era."
Xie Chen swallowed his saliva, and was very curious in his heart that the appearance of this wooden box was so exquisite, and even so well preserved, he really didn't know what kind of things were stored inside.
Xie Chen slowly found the buckle of the box, and the place of the buckle was actually at the bottom of the box.
"How else can it be made this way?"
Xie Chen gently buckled the buckle with his hand, and the lid on the top actually had a tendency to press down a little, if he continued to break down, not only would he not be able to open the wooden box, but he would even make the entire wooden box more tightly pressed.
"So evil?"
Xie Chen quickly let go of the finger that pressed the buckle, and straightened the wooden box again, checking if there was anything he had missed.
The safety factor is so high, which proves that there is definitely something extraordinary in this wooden box left by Grandpa.
"I'd like to see if such a thing can still stump me?"
Xie Chen turned the box to the side, and touched it up little by little along the side lines, as long as the lines were not wrong, the box would always be opened.
As long as the original intention of the design is a wooden box that can be opened, then there are absolutely flaws in it, and the buckle at the bottom is just to hide people's eyes.
I guessed that I was not wrong, and while touching down the gaps in the box, I found that these gaps in the wooden box actually extended into the pattern in the middle.
Xie Chen was a little puzzled, could it be that if you want to open this box, you still need these patterns in the middle?
As the left and right hands touched the side, the two lines pointed to a depression on the right side of the box.
If you look at it with the naked eye, you can't tell any difference at all.
Even if you touch it with your hands, it is extremely smooth.
But when I touched these lines from beginning to end, and when I passed through that point again, I found that there was a little sunken feeling.
Xie Chen was overjoyed and stretched out his finger and pressed it, and this delicate wooden box actually had an inexplicable inertia.
I just wanted to straighten it back, but I accidentally let go of my hand and let it back on its own.
Click!
The two gaps next to the wooden box began to rise slowly, and then opened on their own like a ladder, without the need for additional operations on their own.
"Is it so awesome?"
Just after the box stopped moving, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, it should be pretty much the same, right?"
Xie Chen said as he reached out and opened the lid.
In addition to the upper lid, there is also a separate lid on the inside of the wooden box.
It was just a matter of opening it, and finally a notebook of a leather bag appeared in front of him.
"It's ...... Note? ”
"Is it a diary or something?"
Xie Chen took out the notebook in the middle of the wooden box with both hands, and wrapped the notebook in plain and unpretentious cowhide, which was not too thick.
Xie Chen opened the first page with a curious face, and the words recorded on the top immediately attracted his attention.
[Some secrets about that world.] 】
For a while, I only felt cold sweat, and even a hint of foreboding appeared all over my body.
I did have a guess that my grandfather might really survive the strange world, but I didn't expect this idea to be verified so quickly.
After all, Grandpa Tai has passed away, and even before he died, he was already in a state of mental disorder, even if he wanted to ask Grandpa and his mother about some things about Grandpa Tai before he died, it is estimated that they would not be able to say.
After all, a person who is dying and mentally insane, no one will always remember what he has said.
After all, my grandfather has passed away for quite a long time.
And in this real world, I don't have much time left.
"It's really interesting."
Xie Chen continued to flip through the notes left by his grandfather with an excited face, and there was no other content on the first page except for these words.
So I turned to the second page, no, I stayed on the first page of the note too much.
No wonder this notebook is packed in such a delicate box, and what is written in it is estimated that anyone in reality will only be regarded as a physical book.
If I hadn't personally walked around the world of weird talk and came back, even if I cleaned up the book notes left by my grandfather, I wouldn't take it too seriously.
If you look at it this way, it is estimated that when Grandpa Tai wrote these contents, his brain was still in a very clear state.
[Until now, I don't know how I was chosen, and I somehow became the chosen one in this world. 】
[In that world, the rules can even be changed temporarily, and the strange talk is like being self-aware, as if deliberately trying to understand the chosen one.] 】
[Many times, the aspects dissected by the strange talk, until the end of the whole copy, are more like conveying the original side of human nature to people.] 】
[This is what confuses me the most......]
Seeing this, Xie Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
Grandpa Tai has passed away, and now he doesn't know if the copies he experienced in his old man's house are the same as his own.
But judging from the few words left by the grandfather, the real situation is indeed correct.
Whether it's a copy of the Chonghui Hotel, or a copy of the first wedding night, the swimming pool, the Bichao Beach......
Behind these copies, they seem to be telling themselves something.
Is marine pollution or marine litter affecting the creatures in the ocean that should be living well?
If a person does something that is wrong in this lifetime, he will have to go through a painful cycle after death?
A swimming pool that uses a child's life to conduct human experiments, prevents his daughter from being with her lover, and finally kills her daughter and then contradicts herself to kill the newlywed copy of her son-in-law......
These are not like weird copies teaching themselves, but more like showing themselves these ugly sides.
Even the last funeral copy before returning to the real world seems to be telling himself that if he can't return to the beginning in the end, then the dead person will be himself.
"Whew...... It's a little crazy. ”
I really didn't think about this level of information, so I patronized and thought about how to clear the dungeon and return to the real world.
If it weren't for Grandpa Tai mentioning these levels, he wouldn't have thought of these contents for the time being.
[So the most important point is to figure out who is behind everything for the time being. 】
[If the operation of the strange world is artificial, then what will be the ultimate goal? 】
[Is the chosen one open to all the people in the world?] What's the point of picking and choosing alone? 】
Xie Chen followed the questions left by his grandfather and fell into thinking.
If it is global, how many people are selected?
And the biggest possibility is artificial, this is not the plot in it, the whole world is also calm to death, not like that kind of weird talk at all, directly about what kind of strange talk comes, and the national fortune is competing.
If you really want to compete for any national fortune, you won't just choose yourself.
If there is really any strange talk that has come to the real world, I can't do it, and now I can still clean it safely in my grandfather's old residence.
"If it's not a natural disaster, then only man-made disasters remain......"
But in the case of man-made disasters, if this kind of means is not used to make a lot of money, it should also be put on other research, and what kind of copy of the chosen one is engaged in, isn't it purely idle and nothing to do?
I'm an ordinary classman.
If it is necessary to sharpen the will and exercise the body, it should be oriented to the soldiers of the army, and it is obviously more useful to make it similar to the special training.
Xie Chen really can't figure it out, what is the meaning of this?
And according to Grandpa Tai's speculation, this thing is like reflecting the current social situation with the Chosen One.
But when he returned to the real world, he was just a stinky dick.
It doesn't help much, it doesn't change the social status quo.
"Ugh."
Xie Chen continued to flip through the notebook left by his grandfather.
[After the third dungeon...... It should be the third, and I finally got the direct item given by the strange talk world. 】
[The ability of this pocket watch is very rebellious, and the complete control of time and space is also very helpful to myself. 】
[But I always feel like it's more like a key, a key that should be used to open a certain lock at a certain time.] 】
When I saw this, I couldn't help but pause.
What I really didn't expect was that Grandpa Tai actually got the pocket watch after half of the copies.
That is, when he first entered the world of strange talks, in the face of the rules that came one after another, as well as the terrifying scenes, Grandpa Tai was able to get through it unharmed.
And judging from the content of the notes, when Grandpa Tai got this pocket watch, the ability of the pocket watch was obviously more rebellious than his current pocket watch.
If it is only a few tens of seconds like at the beginning, and even the number of uses cannot exceed one hand, it is estimated that Grandpa Tai will also deliberately leave relevant marks on the notes.
If you bring it in, if you are a grandfather, you will complain that "it's a pity that the time is too short" or "it's a pity that the number of times you use it is too little" and something like that.
Xie Chen's scalp was numb and he looked at this sky-high amount of information, and it was estimated that when Grandpa Tai obtained the pocket watch, the development ability of the entire pocket watch was estimated to be even higher than his current pocket watch.
Xie Chen squinted his eyes, if it was really a reward for clearing the third dungeon, then how difficult was it to clear the third dungeon?
It is estimated that it will have to be cleared at the perfect level.
I have experienced so many copies so far, and they are basically ordinary level clearances, and there are very few perfect level clearances, and there are only a handful of them.
Xie Chen's heart was not a taste for a while.
When I turned the page, it was obvious that the notes on the next page were not quite right.
It's the kind of rustiness that I haven't written for too long, and I put the pen back on the top again, and the handwriting will change because of this.
Xie Chen frowned, it seems that before he wrote these contents again, Grandpa Tai has gone through a long period of copy.
[I'm so tired......]
[If it weren't for this pocket watch, relying on my own personal ability alone, I guess I would have really given my life to it this time. 】
[But fortunately, he came back alive.] 】
[This moment of life and death, but let me see that thing, I really don't know what words to use to describe it. 】
[If you think about it, it seems that there is really nothing that can be perfectly described. 】
[Forget it, let's use that as a proxy for the time being, after all, the last time I saw it, I don't dare to believe if I saw the real appearance, it may still be a shadow. 】
[Strangely, I didn't mark the time this time, it was like coming back suddenly, and I thought I would never come back in my life......]
[I don't know how to explain this kind of thing to my family, maybe no matter how I explain it, I will think I'm a crazy person? 】
[After a few verifications, that really exists an autonomous consciousness, and even manipulates the operation of the entire weird world, I don't know if that one will affect the family, I really haven't been in touch for a long time......]
[For the safety of the children and grandchildren's families, forget it, anyway, the loneliness and pain experienced inside are not comparable to this little bit at all. 】
[The lock didn't appear, but the pocket watch is definitely the key, and I hope that the next time I go in, I can really touch the so-called lock.] 】
[It may not really exist in the form of a lock, which is why it is the most troublesome to wake up early.] 】
[Maybe the lock appeared in front of me a long time ago, but I didn't even notice that it had appeared......]
Xie Chen looked at the handwriting behind him and trembled a little, obviously when he wrote here, Grandpa Tai's physical condition was no longer optimistic.
