Chapter 247: The Exploration of the Cycle
Above the gray mist, ancient temple-like buildings stand quietly.
Sensing some anomalies by a series of coincidences, Crane enters this mysterious space after lunch to try to confirm a certain suspicion in his mind.
He picked up the round-bellied pen that appeared, and after a pause of two seconds, wrote:
"I'm involved in a series of coincidences created by the seal '0-08'. ”
Putting down the dark red pen, Crane held the silver chain in his left hand and began his divination step by step.
Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum that was close at hand.
The citrine pendant is stationary and does not rotate.
This indicates that the divination has failed!
It may be that the conditions are insufficient to divination, or it may be that "0-08" has made a confrontation...... Similar results occur in both cases...... Crane changed the phrase and pointed to a different goal, but the divination ultimately failed.
His fingers tapped the edge of the long mottled table, and he hesitated whether to go to the Red Rose Manor the day after tomorrow.
If there really is no "0-08" or similar force to arrange these things, then my sudden absconding will definitely arouse Prince Edsak's suspicions, no, absconding may not be successful, Prince Edsak's men live next door...... Of course, it's still easy for me, who is already a "Faceling", to find a chance to escape when I'm out, but is it necessary to get to this level?
Tomorrow afternoon, I will honestly meet Prince Edsak, and hand over the task normally, and I will be able to "leave" Beckland without attracting attention, and his Royal Highness the prince should not force me, a wild extraordinary, to accomplish something too difficult......
If there really is a seal or demigod like "0-08" that is influencing recent events, then judging from what happened to me, I should just be a supporting character who strayed into the stage, and I haven't received enough attention, in this case, absconding is tantamount to telling the other party that I am aware of the existence of "you"!
In this way, the ability of the "Faceling" may not be able to get rid of the "gaze" that locks him......
The best way is to go to the Red Rose Manor calmly, exit the stage with the most normal process, take a decent curtain call, and fade out of the "sight" from where I don't know where it comes from......
Combining the two elements, Klein finally decided to pretend that he had found nothing, hand over the mission according to the predetermined plan, and "leave" Beckland.
............
Inside an open-air camp with flames burning and always manned.
Derick Berg rested against a stone pillar and regained his strength from a deep sleep.
At this moment, he dreamed of the boundless gray mist, of an ancient chair in the very center and at the highest point, and of an indifferent figure sitting on the chair and looking down on everything.
"Mr. 'Fool'......," Deric mentally called out the name.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a voice from the "fool":
"Prepare for the party".
Yes, Mr. Fool. Darik replied silently, silently counting his heartbeat.
His eyes never opened, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream interlude.
There is still a long time before departure, enough to attend the tarot party...... He thought to himself, rather gladly.
He had expected that he would be absent from the party when he joined the exploration team.
After 1,000 heartbeats, Daeric waited a few more moments before he felt himself enter the temple of silence and tranquility.
As soon as he opened his eyes, scene after scene flashed back in his mind, as if an external force instantly poured all the lost memories into his head.
Among those scenes are: crumbling city walls, white and blue buildings, the "Fallen Creator" temple similar to Silver City, a mural detailing the coming of the end and the "fallen Creator" resisting the six evil gods and protecting the remaining humans, the beautiful and dangerous "mushroom", and the strange yellow-haired boy Jack from nowhere.
This scene is repeated over and over again, a full five times, but each time there are some differences in details:
The first time, outside the Temple of the Fallen Creator, all the animal skin lanterns were extinguished, almost causing a tragedy, and the second time, someone couldn't control himself and almost swallowed the "mushroom" Fortunately, Chief Colin stopped it in time, and the third time, the little boy Jack told a story, that is, he and his father were chasing the Creator's sanctuary in the boundless ocean, and they encountered a huge storm, and the fourth time, Joshua was seriously injured by the little boy Jack who had changed without warning, and the fifth time, the temple completely collapsed, blocking the exit from the underground area.
And each time, it ends with the "Demon Hunter" Colin killing the little boy Jack, and begins with resting in the camp and preparing to enter the ruined city, beginning with each other, repeating the cycle.
We have explored the temple five times...... We've been living in this experience, and there's no real end to it! The more Derick understood his sudden memory, the more frightened and creepy he felt.
Audrey, who was sitting on the other side of the bronze table, originally wanted to greet Mr. "Fool" and everyone happily and briskly as usual, but when she swept her eyes, she immediately found that the mood of the little "sun" was wrong, and immediately asked:
"Mr. Sun, what's going on? The search for the real, uh, fallen Creator Temple isn't going well?"
"Sun" Derick seemed to grasp hope, and quickly described what happened in general, and finally said:
"After the little boy was cleared by His Excellency 'Chief', we all closed our eyes and woke up in the camp outside the city, ready to start a new expedition, with no memories of the past.
"This process was repeated five times, differing only slightly in the details.
"If it weren't for Mr. 'Fool' reminding me, I wouldn't even know that I had been living a repetitive life all this time. ”
He took it for granted that the extra memories of his arrival on the gray mist were due to Mr. Fool's reminder, so he stood up and bowed solemnly to the vague figure sitting at the top of the long bronze table.
I still listened to your description to understand what happened...... "Fool" Klein was a little confused from just now to now.
He kept his original posture and bowed his head lightly in response.
In the case of not understanding the cause of the problem, the superior cannot easily express his position and cannot speak rashly...... Klein secretly reviewed the knowledge he had been exposed to when he was a keyboard powerhouse in his previous life.
Seeing that Mr. "Fool" seemed to have a deep ancient well without waves, "Sun" Derrick felt a lot more relieved, and felt that the matter could be solved after all.
He turned to "The Hanged Man", "The World", "Justice", and "The Magician" and asked sincerely:
"Do you know the root of the problem, how can we fix it?"
The zealous "justice" Audrey instinctively wanted to answer, but found that she had no clue, and could not even guess.
"Magician" Falth is in a similar state to her.
Klein has a wealth of knowledge from the earth, and has seen a lot of people who stay in the same day, and wanted to manipulate the "world" to give ideas so that everyone can get inspiration for thinking, but after thinking about it carefully, he chose to keep a low profile and was ready to observe first.
After listening to the description of "The Sun", Alger the "Hanged Man" was silent for a long time, and then said after deliberation:
"I can only think of two possibilities, one is that you have encountered nightmares or hallucinatory abilities that exceed the level of demigods and demihumans, and after you retrieve your memories with the help of Mr. 'Fool', as soon as you return to the real world, you should be able to immediately detect that something is wrong, so that the problem can be easily solved.
"The second is that you are forced or active to enter a certain peculiar space or state at a certain node, where time maintains a certain degree of flow, but is fixed within a certain range, the cycle repeats, the balance continues, that is, it is relatively static.
"In this case, there are not many ways to end the cycle, either an external force can force that balance to be broken, or find the key point that connects the time warp. ”
Hearing this, "Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Furth and "Sun" Derick all subconsciously glanced at Mr. "Fool" at the top of the bronze table, calm and leisurely.
No, you can't always turn to Mr. "Fool" for help...... He didn't say anything directly, probably to test my ability to handle this kind of thing...... Darek came to his senses and thought for a moment:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', let's assume the latter case first, what do you think is the key point that connects the before and after time warps?"
Without waiting for the "hanged man" to answer, "Justice" Audrey guessed with interest:
"That little boy Jack?
"When you face him, you can't deal with it by killing him?"
"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded:
"It's possible. ”
He pondered for a moment, hesitated and said:
"The Sun's description of Jack and his father reminds me of something. ”
He turned to Miss "Justice":
"Did I mention that I once hunted down a 'listener' of the Aurora Society at sea, and his goal was to find the sanctuary of the 'true Creator'. ”
Audrey recalled carefully, and said uncertainly:
"It seems like there's such a thing. ”
"The Hanged Man," Alger immediately said in a deep voice:
"The 'listener' also had his children with him, and was very close in age to the Jack described by 'The Sun'. ”
"You mean that Jack came from your world around Silver City?" "Sun" Derick asked in amazement.
After a short period of precipitation, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Because this means that the area where Silver City is located has not been completely sealed, and there is still a chance to connect with the normal world where the "Hanged Man" and "Justice" are located!
"All I can say is that it's possible. The "hanged man" could not give an affirmative answer.
He thought for a moment and suggested:
"You can find an opportunity to mention the Sunia Sea, the Kingdom of Rune, and the Port City in front of the little boy Jack, and maybe you will have a different reaction, of course, try to avoid your Silver City chief.
"Also, the key point is not necessarily on the little boy Jack, there are other possibilities to consider, you tell the details of the specific situation, such as the mural, maybe we can find something useful. ”
With that, Alger began to look forward to the information he could get.
