The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v2 Chapter 667: cool down

After feeling a little tired, Moonlight stopped talking and opened his eyes. Sean still lay on the side motionless, but breathing evenly. Moonlight, whose legs were numb, decided to take a break. He got up and wanted to sit against the wall, only to find that it was already dawn outside, and the hazy light shone into the entrance of the cave in zigzags.

While leaning against the wall to eat bread, Moonlight found that Sean had woken up and was lying on the ground with his eyes open. He woke up soundlessly.

The moment he found his eyes open, Moonlight was a little scared. He was afraid that it would be that maniacally laughing Sean who would appear again.

But fortunately, there were no bloodshot eyes in Xiao En's eyes, and he didn't laugh wildly... The eyes that were staring straight at the top of the stone chamber changed, completely different from before the memory was recovered.

Those were indeed a pair of calm eyes, but they were hard to see through, as if there were many buried in them.

Then Sean sighed. The air flow faintly rolled, and it crashed silently on the wall of the stone chamber.

"woke up?"

Sean turned his face away, with a calm face: "Wake up."

Although he has woken up, Moonlight can confirm that Sean has indeed undergone some profound changes. I hope it will be a good change—Moonlight muttered silently in her heart.

"Feeling okay?"

Sean didn't answer. He got up and got out of the hole. Moonlight quickly followed.

He thought Sean was just going outside to get some air, but he didn't know that this guy walked out of the farmhouse and walked quickly on the path in the early morning.

"Where are you going?" Moonlight followed behind.

Sean turned back: "Just follow."

The two walked forward along the misty path in the morning, and Xiao En suddenly started to trot: "Hurry up, the car is coming!"

car? What car? Moonlight was confused.

Soon after, they reached the side of the road. Almost as soon as they arrived, a truck cut through the morning fog on the road and drove slowly. When the car passed in front of him, Sean ran after him, and Moonlight also ran. The two climbed into the cargo compartment of the truck, turned over and entered, and were accompanied by a cage of white-feathered chickens.

Moonlight is a little confused: At this time, there are very few cars on the road...

"How do you know there will be cars passing by at this point?" he asked.

Sean smiled and didn't explain. Moonlight keenly discovered that it was a kind of tolerant smile, the smile when adults forgive children for asking meaningless questions.

Moonlight is not ashamed. Not only that, but from the series of events that happened just now, he realized something, as if a corner of the curtain had been lifted, revealing some light: these strange changes of Sean were all due to the awakening of those memories.

He's been through a lot, maybe a million directions into the future. Come to think of it, he probably knows a lot.

Regarding the way to return to that world, maybe he has a new direction? Moonlight guessed so in his heart, but he didn't ask.

But... who was that maniac laughing and yelling "impossible"? Is that desperate man still inside Sean?

The truck bumped and headed in an unknown direction. Just like the mood of Moonlight at this time.

·

About twenty minutes into the city, they jumped out of the truck one after the other.

This is the west end of the city, and Moonlight is not familiar with it. And in his impression, Sean never mentioned that he had been here.

Sean, who recovered, walked ahead at a steady pace. Then he stopped at an intersection.

Moonlight walking behind heard a siren sounding in the distance, and caught up with two steps curiously. Turning around, he found Sean next to him expressionless, as if he was waiting for something.

Then the noise grew louder. A black Ford sedan sped past them at an extremely disrespectful speed, startling a man crossing the road back two steps and sitting on the ground, staring in astonishment at the direction the other was driving away.

The windows of that car were half open, and the green banknotes sprayed out from the window cracks due to the high speed, fluttering in the air. Then, two police cars speed past noisily...

Robber? ! Moonlight took two steps back in shock, and Xiao En crossed the road while looking up at the fluttering green paper. While walking, he slowly stretched out his hand, and took off two bills that were falling in the air—not so much as "taking it off", but rather saying that the two bills floated into his palm.

Folding two hundred-yuan bills and gently putting them in his pocket, he lowered his head and continued walking. In the sight of the moonlight, the green paper flying all over the sky blocked the sunlight from time to time, people on the street shouted and fought, and jumped down the mountain... Sean walked forward blindly in such a scene.

Moonlight blinked, and hurriedly followed in a daze. Sean led him to a cafe across the road.

Grilled chicken thigh sandwiches, maple syrup served with waffles, fried eggs, hash browns, and lattes were quickly on the table.

Originally, they only had two yuan left in their pockets, which was not enough for such a decent breakfast.

Just now... Moonlight is still in a daze: what happened just now? Sean took the perfect time to pass that intersection, get the money that floated down from the sky, just for us to have this breakfast?

"Yes, this is one of the best plans among more than 2,000 plans to go back to the city - because here..." Sean picked up the cup in his hand, not paying attention to Moonlight's ghost-like expression, "The coffee here is great."

"So, can you understand?" Putting down the coffee, Sean said in a somewhat...tired tone, "What have I experienced?"

Moonlight nodded uncertainly: "1.62 million attempts..."

He smiled wryly: "To be exact, it was nearly 1.6 million lives—later, I became more patient and took a long time to explore each time, so it was a life span, not a fleeting moment. The fleeting 'try'..."

Knowing that Moonlight had many questions, so that he didn't know where to ask, Sean said: "We didn't understand the meaning of the wrong goddess—I did escape from Arkham again and again, found Candlelight again and again, and then found the candle again and again. Find a way to return to that world...

"However, I've tried over a million times and still can't make it."

Moonlight squinted and asked: "What exactly do you want to find when you return to that world? Can you find a passage?"

"It's to find my mask. If you find the mask, you can go back."

Hearing the word "mask" in this world, Moonlight felt a little uncomfortable. He blinked, and tentatively said the word in the story: "Eternal Night Ark?"

"right."

"Eternal Night Ark, in this world?"

Sean nodded: "In my understanding, waking up from this dream is impossible, because it is related to... a curse of a master.

"But Eternal Night's Ark has opened up a possibility. It is the only guide and the last hope."

Then, Sean narrated the picture of the whole incident. Moonlight gradually understood the whole picture: they were imprisoned in this very real dream because they angered Kruvitan.

This world is indeed a boring dream, but they cannot wake up and return to that real world.

After listening to what Xiao En said, Yueguang felt a little difficult to calm down for a while. He took a deep breath, looked out of the window, felt a little dizzy, and inexplicably jumped in his heart: "This is really a dream!" He recalled everything in the book, the secret explorer, the spiritual piano, the ubiquitous gods...

"That... that is the real world!"

He blinked, a realistic force trying to drag him back to the ground. However, the candlelight in the ground, the image of Ms. Hershey, and the scenes of Sean taking banknotes from the sky in the backlight made him unable to settle down in "reality"...

That world ~lightnovelpub.net~ is real!

Waiting for Moonlight to calm down, Sean's voice lowered the temperature a bit: "I understand how you feel now, Moonlight. No matter how many times you tell this truth, it makes people feel dizzy. It's like someone told you that your most wonderful The dream is actually the same..."

Pausing for a sentence, staring into the eyes of the moonlight, Sean said word by word: "However, what I want to tell you is: Although that world is real, we cannot go back there.

"It's really the worst kind of situation: Letting you know the truth and never waking up from this dream.

"Moonlight, I've given up." He leaned back, feeling calm.

Moonlight blinked, and suddenly remembered that Xiao En who laughed wildly and shouted "impossible" in the stone room...

The situation at hand is worse than that—

The desperate man has become quiet.
