127 Chapter 127
The moment he was pricked with the needle, the first thing that came to Kerry's mind was the conversation he had with the Prophet before he came.
"What will happen if I go this time?"
“…… As I have told you before, my title 'prophet' comes from knowledge and information obtained in advance, not from the future. The Prophet said.
"But if you actually want to, you can know part of the future."
"Yes, are you sure you want me to do it?" The Prophet smiled, "If I say that you will go and go back this time, will you give up?" ”
Needless to say, Kerry already understood what he meant, and if he knew the ending in advance, then he would not be able to achieve his purpose this time.
Because before, whether it was Edmund or Archie, there was no prophet to cover them before the adventure.
But this is completely inconsistent with Kerry's mindset, who is a purely rational individual, always thinking in advance about whether it is worth it or what the way out will be if something goes wrong.
It is because of this rational thinking that after Kerry joined the Investigation Bureau, he thought that he was only here to pursue his own goals, and there was no need to work so hard for the investigation task, and he did not hesitate to leave when he was in crisis, even if he was ridiculed by those investigators.
Figuring out what he wants, and making the effort accordingly, and eliminating other unstable elements as early as possible, is Kerry's mindset, and he's always been like this, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
But the current prophet's rhetorical question has blocked the way to know the end in advance, and even implied an unspoken rhetorical question.
What if this time, he had to abandon his 'rational' way of thinking in order to get the trust he wanted?
Kerry didn't know the answer either.
……
The liquid in the needle tube was pushed into the flesh, and Kerry rolled his eyes, lost consciousness directly, and was caught by the doctor who had expected it, and the doctor placed Kerry's body on the ground, put one hand on his forehead, and released a hint of spell.
The doctor was in such a hurry to scoop people up, and even ignored all the suspicions in Kerry, of course, because he had something to say.
He had stumbled upon the pattern on the back of Kerry's hand a long time ago, and recognized it as the mark of the All-Knowing Society.
The All-Knowing Society was established by the Prophet, one of the Three Sages, but unlike Fate, the existence of this fellow One of the Three Sages is quite low-key, and he has hardly heard from him since he parted ways with Fate, and if it weren't for the Doctor's other channels, there would be no way to know that the Omniscient Society is the power of the Prophet.
The reason for wooing Kerry is that the Doctor is now desperate to know something, an important task given to him by his master.
That is to find the 'Ark of the Covenant', which is hidden by fate, a vital prop.
Originally, the doctor planned to plunge the inspection bureau into civil strife first and then take the opportunity to observe the situation to see if he could find the prop, but now that Kerry appeared in front of him, there was this shortcut, of course he also needed to give it a try, even if it was worth it to make Kerry the eyeliner planted in the omniscient.
As soon as Kerry's eyes closed, he came to the Dream Gap, but this time the situation was completely different from before, originally when they came to the Dream Gap, they both had absolute control over themselves, but this time Kerry's soul seemed to be out of his body, watching 'himself' stride to the next level of the ladder without hesitation.
No, wait a minute!
Kerry was very reluctant to this loss of control, and he had been fully sure of the previous tests to open the Dream Gap, but Kerry was completely unaware of the situation on the fourth level, and from the words of this doctor, he knew that the situation should be quite bad.
You can't just go in recklessly!
But unfortunately, his personal will did not count, and under Kerry's desperate gaze, his body still strode through the fog under this unknown control, regardless of the fact that his ontological consciousness was soaked in the fog of madness, and plunged headlong into the platform on the fourth floor.
As soon as his feet stepped onto the platform, the scenery in front of Kerry's eyes immediately changed
Kerry stood on the street blankly, he recognized that this seemed to be the most prosperous Huth Avenue in Orland, and the commercial street was full of people, and no one noticed Kerry standing in place.
Suddenly, a harsh and strange sound sounded in his ears, and Kerry covered his ears sharply, only to find that it did not prevent the sound from entering his head, as if it was sounding from the depths of his head.
"Wow, look at the sky!"
A passer-by pointed to the sky unconsciously, and Kerry also looked up at the sky, and the next moment his pupils trembled, because he found that the stars had completely changed.
The day the stars return to their positions......
A round of red full moon, rising from the night, before people took out their mobile phones to take pictures, the earthquake was surging, everyone could not stabilize their bodies, fell to the ground, and what was even more terrifying was that the ground that was originally asphalt poured actually cracked a bottomless crack, the building collapsed, and the people who ran in terror were swallowed by the cracks in the ground.
And that's far from the end.
An even more desperate sight
Reflected in Kerry's eyes, with the appearance of the red moon, the fog and weirdness also appeared, only this time the weirdness was no longer humanoid or about the same size as before.
More than five meters tall, several long tusks grow from their exteriors, densely packed all over their bodies, making them look like weapons of war made of white bones, trampling the earth wantonly.
The pillar-like life that pierced through the clouds and fog seemed to be scattered with colorful light all around, but all human beings who were illuminated by the light seemed to have lost their souls and walked towards the cracks of the earth.
Giant octopus legs rise from the bottom of the ocean and drag islands into the ocean, where never-before-seen tornadoes, typhoons, galostics and volcanic eruptions sweep through human society.
Eventually, even the sun disappeared from the sky.
It is as if ringing the evening bell of the end of the world for the world.
The atmosphere of despair and madness completely swept over Kerry, and he completely forgot that he was going through the test of the dream gap, as if he had really experienced this scene, or he subconsciously knew that humanity would definitely experience this scene in the future, and felt hopeless about the future of humanity from the bottom of his heart.
Humanity could have been so small in the face of the catastrophe called Doomsday, he fell to his knees uncontrollably, and the reason that he had been proud of was completely gone, and even if anything that could save him appeared at this time, he would worship it as his master.
At this moment, the hinting spell cast by the Doctor from the outside world began to take effect, and Kerry saw a sudden light appear in the cloud-covered sky.
It was an angel with a trumpet in hand, and the light was so holy in the eyes of Kerry, who had grown up in Orlando, and the churches in the surrounding neighborhood were not uncommon, and this classic scene corresponded to the religious impression imprinted on their minds.
Everything is as the Bible says, and at the Last Judgment Day, faith in His existence will be redeemed.
Kerry's mind was in such a trance, and just as he was about to completely convert, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.
Kerry snapped out of the illusion, and remembered that it wasn't the end of the world.
But this does not change anything, the terrible thing about the fourth layer of dreams is that it only reveals the truth in front of humans, just like ants that move in advance before the earthquake and fish that jump out of the water, the fourth layer does not cover any tests, as if it is just subconsciously knowing that this day will come sooner or later.
Is this the last mercy? Or is it a cold message?
Kerry looked at the scene in front of him, he raised his head slightly, and saw a huge table appear high in the sky, on which thirteen chairs were placed, and the distorted existence of the unclear figure sat on the chair, frantically eating the food on the table.
Where does the food on the table come from?
They stretched out their hands from the high tabletop, and the huge monsters that had devoured many humans were instantly caught on the table by more distorted beings, and were brutally torn apart and eaten, and the messy flesh and blood foam fell to the world, and the human beings touched by the strange flesh and blood were also polluted, growing extra eyes, hands and feet, and even their bodies gradually melting.
It's like, a weird food chain.
Kerry thought, and there is no doubt that at the bottom of the food chain are humans.
Humans are preyed upon by the Strange, and the Strange are preyed upon by those more powerful beings, is this the end of humanity's demise?
The sight in front of him told Kerry that it wasn't.
As the human race gradually decreased, the weirdness was also devoured by the thirteen beings above, and then, a figure with an unclear face suddenly stood up from the table, and then he reached out and grabbed the figure next to him, tearing it with his arm, and placed it on the table as another big meal.
The indescribable beings on the long table seemed to be crying, but they couldn't stop the figure's movements, and as the figures on the long table disappeared one by one, only one was left at the long table standing high in the sky.
The table was removed, angels gathered around him, singing hymns, and the surviving humans on the earth became his devout followers, calling on his name with a loud voice.
Kerry also heard the voice, urging that only faith in this great being can lead to eternal salvation in the end times.
But he did not give in, closed his eyes and recited the prayer to the faun.
If there is only one person who must offer his faith, it will definitely not be an immediate existence.
Kerry's resistance seemed to cause his anger, and the humans around him who were still alive rushed to him desperately, and from the reflection in their eyes, Kerry saw himself now, with a '666' pattern on his forehead, which seemed to symbolize that he had been brainwashed by the devil, but look at them-
Faith has distorted the light in their eyes, making them invisible, and they have gradually mutated into monsters that are very different from humans.
The freaks swarmed Kerry to the ground, tearing at his flesh with their teeth and claws, causing not only severe pain, but also intense contamination from the wound.
Kerry's prayers had gradually deformed, and he fell to the ground in pain, his sober mind once again occupied by madness, and his sanity completely lost.
At the moment when reason completely disappeared, Kerry sank into madness, subconsciously grasping the only light in his hand.
It was a spiritual plant that he carved into his flesh. :,m..,.
