Chapter 468 467

"I'm ...... What's wrong......"

Lloyd hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his head, not caring what historical time period he was in.

But the hymn grew clearer, louder, and mader.

Even though Lloyd had closed his mouth, it still kept echoing in his ears.

It was his brain, echoing uncontrollably.

"Falling into ...... Abyss! ”

"Touch...... Authentic! ”

"Hug...... Madness! ”

"Grace...... Disordered! ”

"Face to face...... Chaos! ”

Am I ...... Already crazy? I've ......

Fallen into the abyss?

The flipping and recording of the "Book of Truth" means that I am touching the truth?

The chaotic and chaotic historical scene before gave me a comfortable feeling, that is, I was enjoying the disorder?

That's fine, at least I haven't embraced madness, I haven't faced chaos yet!

I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy......

Lloyd's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, and his thoughts and consciousness were stirred up like a mess.

He knew that if he continued like this, he might really ......

But even if he is aware of the danger, he is helpless.

Lloyd felt like a rootless duckweed, sinking powerlessly in the torrent called History.

Maybe in the next second, he will be completely engulfed......

But at this critical moment, he heard a familiar call in his ear:

"Little ......"

It's the voice of my sister Everol!

Lloyd was stunned, thinking it was an auditory hallucination.

But then, he heard Wei Yaluo's worried prayer:

Lloyd...... Please, be safe! ”

And then there was Elolo's choked up with a cry:

"Uh......h Lord Uther, don't leave me......"

Immediately there was Hiltina's gentle and serene call that was at the same time full of trust:

"My love, I know you won't leave, and we'll be together forever."

Then Lloyd heard his acquaintances pronounce their names in their voices:

"Little brother, although I don't know what trouble you have encountered, I believe that you must be fine!"

"Lloyd, you are the eternal pride of our 18th District."

"Lloyd, cheer up, you're the best student I've ever taken, Mizkatok needs you, humanity needs you!"

"Lloyd, remember who you are, you are the one who inherited the last wish of my friend, and my two-step book, the future and hope of mankind still weigh on you."

"Lloyd, what's wrong with you? We can't afford to lose you! ”

"Lloyd? What about the helper you promised me? Where did it go? Now is the most critical moment for the project team! ”

"Lloyd, the city of tranquility is always open to you, and I have been waiting for you to be one of us."

“…………”

"Meow meow meow!"

"Wow wow! Ahh ”

At the call of these voices, the reverberating carols in his mind were finally suppressed, allowing Lloyd to regain his precious reason.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the pocket in his arms, where several steel needles were slightly hot.

If nothing else, these calls from friends and relatives are delivered to my ears through this 'little gift'.

So Lloyd seized on the precious sobriety, took a step without hesitation, exerted all the strength of his body, and ran in the direction from which the voice came.

Then, he felt himself hit a layer of cold, invisible liquid, and in an instant, it was as if he had fallen into an invisible dark river, and began to drift with the current.

Cold, biting, suffocating darkness, drifting without purpose, the world spinning.

Lloyd instantly lost the ability to think, could not see anything, could not hear anything.

It wasn't until he was in a trance that he felt his body touch a solid ground, but he didn't know if it was a 'riverbed' or a 'riverbank'.

Then, the ground slowly rises, higher and higher, into the sky.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

When Lloyd finally came to his senses, he found himself on the shoulders of the giant stickman, wandering the vast wasteland with the giant's solid and steady steps.

I don't know if it was out of the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, or out of the comfort of 'meeting the old man in a foreign land', he raised his head and shouted at the head hidden in the clouds:

"Thanks! Brothers! ”

Although this call of brother and brother seems very abrupt and very arrogant, but fortunately, the other party does not intend to bother with him.

So, there was the scene of walking with the giants.

That's probably what happened to Lloyd before he met the giant stickman.

……………………

"Although I call you a brother, but in fact, I really don't know anything about you, probably you are the kind of existence that I can't touch, right? But why ......?"

"The first time I saw you, I felt so kind to you?"

"You should understand me, I have always held a low-key and reserved young persona, and I am an elegant young man who is knowledgeable, and I generally don't call others brothers, that's too much of a charlatan......"

"Is it because I've read a lot of stories about you? Or is this just a piece of past history, and my abruptness and presumptuousness don't affect anything? ”

Lloyd babbled as he shoved the large lump of plants or creatures or metal ore on the giant's shoulder into his mouth, chewing and savoring it.

It's delicious!

Lloyd didn't even know what it was, but it was delicious!

It's just what I can imagine, the best food in the world, completely beyond the limits of 'cooking', even with my own understanding and mastery of cooking, it is impossible to reproduce such a taste.

The only flaw may be that it is too easy to have a swollen stomach, and Lloyd only ate a few bites, but he really couldn't eat anymore, so he could only stand up with his round belly, lie on the giant's shoulders as broad as a city, and continued:

"Brother, you are such a good person!"

The giant still did not answer, but continued to walk forward, wandering aimlessly.

I don't know how long it was, and when Lloyd was taking a nap, he suddenly heard a muffled sound of waves crashing in his ears.

He suddenly remembered something, and quickly sat up, raising his eyes into the distance.

Not far ahead, there was a blood-red ocean......

The giant stood here, pausing slightly, as if thinking about something.

But only a few seconds later, he stepped forward again, stepping into the sea of blood.

"Nope! No! ”

Lloyd hurriedly jumped up and exclaimed.

He knew exactly what was in the sea, and he remembered what would happen to the giants next.

But his voice was too weak for Him to hear anything.

He even quickened his pace, adding a bit of resoluteness.

Then, the scene that Lloyd had seen before, and sure enough, it appeared.

With a tumbling surge of the blood-red sea, an unknown number of tentacle monsters emerged from it and swam towards the giant.

"Damn ......"

Lloyd cursed in a low voice, and saw that the fastest swimming tentacle monsters had begun to climb the giant's body.

Compared to giants, they are naturally as small as ants, but for Lloyd, who is even smaller, they are high-rise buildings......

"Get out of here!"

Lloyd was in a hurry, and without hesitation, he unfolded the [Twisted Realm], and then released those steel needles to attack the monster that climbed the fastest.

With the steel needle like a sharp blade shuttling several times, even if it is as huge as a high-rise building, it is easily cut into several pieces, falling into the blood-colored ocean below.

Very weak?

No mental pollution?

Lloyd was stunned, and then hurriedly launched a physical twist, strangling the other two monsters that climbed onto the giant's waist in one go.

It's really weak, so if I can distribute my spiritual power reasonably, I should be able to!

Lloyd's heart suddenly swelled with blood, and he vowed to change the story he had read and protect his 'brother' from this pile of twisted and ugly monsters.

Then when he drove the steel needle again and strangled the two monsters, he was suddenly stunned.

A voice began to echo in his head.

Not the crazy babble he had before, but his own voice:

"No matter when, where, what the situation, I vow that I will never betray mankind."

This was the vow he had made before the Transcendence ceremony began.

Lloyd couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the monster on the other side that was frantically climbing the giant's body, and twisted it into a twist with a physical twist.

And so the oath rang in his ears again, along with the slight tingling of the eardrums and brain.

"No...... That's not true...... It shouldn't be like this......"

At this moment, Lloyd came into contact with a truth that he did not want to accept......

He was deflated, his head bowed, his shoulders drooping, and he couldn't care about strangling the monsters anymore.

The monster, which had no obstacles, suddenly looked even more crazy, and soon the two fastest climbers appeared in front of Lloyd.

They didn't attack Lloyd, they just slowed down the frequency of their writhing, as if they were observing the strange, tiny creature.

It may also be because Lloyd is still opening the [Twisted Realm], so that they can't find the target of the attack for a while.

Anyway, after a few moments of silence, the two monsters began to twist again, then reversed course and jumped off the giant's shoulders and fell into the sea of blood.

The next second, they resurfaced, and let out a low roar from an unknown organ on their body.

The monsters that were still surging next to them paused slightly, as if attracted by the strange sound, and began to listen quietly to the descriptions of their kind.

One of them, after listening for a while, suddenly writhed wildly, and then let out a roar of the same frequency and tone.

Then more and more monsters began to follow suit.

Their roars are uniform, louder and clearer.

Until Lloyd could understand the meaning:

"Falling into ...... Abyss! ”

"Touch...... Authentic! ”

"Hug...... Madness! ”

"Grace...... Disordered! ”

"Face to face...... Chaos! ”

When this chant, which had been so hard to get rid of, reappeared, Lloyd's eyes went black and he passed out.

……………………

When Lloyd woke up again, the ocean of blood was no longer visible.

The 'earth' beneath his feet no longer trembled slightly, but stopped quietly.

The giant no longer wandered, but sat down on a chair with a rolling mountain range.

Even though he remained silent, Lloyd could still feel his weakness and weariness.

He knew what had happened during the time he had been unconscious, and he knew what was going to happen next.

"I'm sorry...... I ......"

Lloyd sniffled vigorously, wanting to say something to apologize.

But I don't know how to apologize, or I don't know whether to apologize.

He looked up into the distance again, and saw the large white monster, surging towards it like a tidal wave.

The giant, however, sat motionless, ready to accept his endgame.

And Lloyd also felt that this history had come to an end, and his [detachment] ritual should be almost over.

In fact, I didn't change anything, nor did I really experience anything, but I just witnessed and recorded a piece of past history.

In this last moment, Lloyd chose to sit cross-legged, caressing the earth beneath him, wanting to spend more time with his 'brother'.

Until the waves of monsters swarmed up, climbed the great mountain, and buried themselves and the giants completely.

In front of Lloyd's eyes, there was only darkness.

But he could feel that the time around him was passing quickly, and he was quickly returning to his original reality.

However, in terms of the principle of the Detachment ritual, it should have been a process of only a few seconds.

But Lloyd can really experience the feeling of 'time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle'.

It's fast, but it's slow.

Under the wash of this long but rapid time, Lloyd felt that his mind began to slow and dull.

Until a light reappeared in front of his eyes, and a strange face appeared in front of him.

He looked like a dusty explorer, with a thick layer of snowflakes on his hat and beard.

He was looking at himself curiously, then trying to reach out and touch ......

As a result, in the next second, he fell to the ground and began to hold his head, rolling wildly and screaming wildly.

Then, his body began to twist and change, and in just a few seconds, he was degenerated into an out-of-control monster......

Before Lloyd's slow, sluggish mind could comprehend, it was dark again.

After another time flew by, he returned to a scene that was slightly familiar to him.

It seemed that there was only a head left in his body, and he was being carried by a person to a luxurious and ostentatious office.

A young man with an 'unremarkable' appearance observed himself with great interest, and then said in an ancient language:

"Is this the source of that weird madness? Inadvertently dug up by a mountaineer? But it looks like it's just a book, right? Have you opened it and seen it? ”

"No, it's too dangerous."

"Wow? And you're going to show it to me? Do you want to take the opportunity to kill me so that you can inherit my academy? Trick those pretty and cute schoolgirls? ”

"Can you be serious?"

"Why am I not serious? Seriously, I always think that you people are really boring sometimes, there are so many mysteries to explore, there are so many beautiful things to be nostalgic about, and there are so many beautiful futures to look forward to, why are you always obsessed with the past? ”

"The past is also a mystery."

"Okay, okay, then...... Thank you for sharing your great discovery with me, but unfortunately I'm not interested in it and don't plan on getting the academy to work with you, and honestly, I've always thought it was a ...... Makes me a little uneasy? Does it have life? ”

"It can't be."

"That's right...... But since no one dares to open it, why not try it and find a way to make it present its own content? ”

"That's an interesting idea, so I'm going to try it out and I'm excited to see what kind of surprises it can bring us?"

"Haha, okay, I'm looking forward to it too, if you need any help, you can tell me."

If Lloyd remembers correctly, he had seen this scene in a nightmare before.

It's just that I didn't understand the conversation between the two sides at all, and I just felt as if I was in the perspective of an object, allowing two mysterious guys to judge me.

And one of them is the current pot of chopped pepper fish head......

So, what they are evaluating is actually a book?

A book that people don't dare to open?

Then why did you put yourself in the perspective of a book?

As Lloyd pondered these questions, his vision darkened again, and after a brief passage of time, he found himself in the midst of his second 'nightmare'.

He was still unable to move, encapsulated in a petri dish, surrounded by a large group of strangers in mage robes, who were also speaking in ancient language:

"The design based on it has been passed on in the past, although we have shared everything, but with the current situation and situation, I am afraid that the complete construction of 0-006 will not be completed over there."

"Ha~ What damn bad news......"

"There is no way to do this, whether it is resources or manpower, it is not enough, and even we ourselves do not have a complete grasp of it, how dare we expect people over there to do it? Without the protection of Brilliant Gold, we can't do anything. ”

"There is no need to be so depressed, human beings still have to live after all, and civilization must continue after all."

"That's right, be optimistic, even if it's an incomplete 0-006, it should be of great use, not to mention that there's another backup plan over there?"

"Are you talking about the 0-266? To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about that plan, if 0-006 can't live up to the design expectations, can't turn mental pollution into power, then everything is just another form of lingering, whether there is an additional perceptual module, there is no practical point. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, I can only trust them now, I hope they can create a miracle."

"I'll go out fishing first, and then I'll go fishing while I still have the chance."

"Let's come together, I haven't fished in a long time."

"Well, then continue to observe, remember to inform me if there is any news, I'll go fishing first."

This period of history made Lloyd know a lot more, but before he could digest the amount of information in it, the scene in front of him suddenly became blurred and flickered, and it was instantly replaced by another scene.

The mages who were still around 'me' before were all gone, and only a guy in armor and embarrassed could be seen, trembling and stretching out his hand to him.

He was badly wounded, his entire right arm was broken at the shoulder, and there was a large bloody hole left in his left abdomen, which was dripping blood.

This was a fatal wound for ordinary people, and Lloyd couldn't imagine how he could come to him......

The seriously wounded warrior used his last strength to smash the petri dish in front of him, grabbed 'himself', and gasped for breath while saying with difficulty:

"You...... It brings us doom and despair...... But we ...... But I had to ...... Putting the last hope in you......"

"This is the fate of humanity, this is the curse of humanity......"

"If you're really a book, then I hope you'll write down my last words."

"No matter where you come from, no matter who you are, we choose to entrust the hope of mankind to you, and entrust this [Book of Madness] to you......"

"I hope you ......"

Lloyd could no longer hear what the dying warrior was saying, and could only feel what he was writing on 'himself' with his fingers, and then struck hard.

Lloyd's gaze flickered again, and then the world swirled.

Then, he felt a sense of 'soul home'.

He tried to open his eyes, and found himself half-kneeling in front of a forest of tombstones.

Then, a fragrant and soft delicate body pounced up from behind and hugged herself tightly.

Although the delicate body had no physical body, Lloyd could still recognize that it was his lover.

"Uh......h You're finally ...... Came back......"

Hiltina whispered a low sob.

"Hmm...... I am back. ”

Lloyd whispered.

But what came from my ears was a series of dense panel prompts:
