When she felt a little tired, Yueguang stopped talking and opened her eyes. Sean was still lying on the side motionless, but breathing evenly. Moonlight, whose legs were numb, decided to take a rest. He stood up and wanted to sit against the wall, only to realize that it was already dawn outside, and the hazy light shone into the cave entrance in a zigzag manner.
While leaning against the wall and nibbling on bread, Moonlight discovered that Sean had woken up and was lying on the ground with his eyes open. He woke up soundlessly.
The moment she discovered that his eyes were open, Yueguang was a little scared. He was afraid that it would be the laughing Sean again.
But fortunately, there were no bloodshot eyes in Sean's eyes, and he didn't laugh wildly... The eyes staring straight at the roof of the stone chamber changed, becoming completely different from before the memory was restored.
They were indeed a pair of calm eyes, but it was hard to see through, as if there was a lot buried in them.
Then Sean sighed. That breath of air swirled faintly and scattered against the wall of the stone chamber silently.
"woke up?"
Sean turned around with a calm face: "Wake up."
Although he has woken up, Moonlight can confirm that Sean has indeed changed deeply. I hope it's a good change - Moonlight thought 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 actually walked out of the farmhouse and walked quickly on the early morning path.
"Where to go?" Moonlight followed.
Sean turned back: "Just follow."
The two of them walked forward along the path hazy in the morning mist. Sean suddenly started jogging: "Hurry up, the car is coming!"
car? What car? Moonlight was confused.
Soon after, they reached the road. Almost not long after they arrived, a truck cut through the morning fog on the road and drove slowly towards them. When the car passed by, Sean started running behind, and Moonlight also started running. The two climbed into the bed of the truck and climbed in, accompanied by cages 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 a car passing by this point?" he asked.
Sean smiled without explaining. Moonlight keenly discovered that it was a kind of tolerant smile, the smile of adults who forgive children for asking meaningless questions.
Moonlight was not ashamed. Not only that, he realized something from the series of things that had just happened, as if a corner of the curtain had been lifted, revealing some light: Sean's strange changes were all due to the awakening of those memories.
He has experienced a lot, which may extend into the future in a million directions. Come to think of it, he might know a lot of things.
As for how to return to that world, maybe he has a new direction? Yueguang guessed this in his mind, but he didn't ask.
But... who is that maniacally laughing and shouting "impossible"? Is that desperate man still inside Sean?
The truck jolted, heading in an unknown direction. Just like Moonlight's mood at this time.
·
About twenty minutes after entering the city, they jumped out of the truck one after another.
This is the west side of the city, and Moonlight is not familiar with it. And in his memory, Sean never mentioned that he had been here before.
After regaining consciousness, Sean walked ahead, walking at a slow pace. Then he stopped at an intersection.
Moonlight, who was walking behind, heard a siren blaring in the distance and took two steps to catch up curiously. Turning around, he found Sean expressionless next to him, as if he was waiting for something.
Then the noise grew louder. A black Ford sedan sped past them at an extremely rude speed. A man crossing the road on the opposite side was so startled that he took two steps back and sat on the ground, staring in amazement at the direction in which the other person was driving away.
The window of the car was half open, and green bills sprayed out from the crack of the window due to the high speed, flying in the air. Then, two police cars sped past noisily...
Robber? ! Moonlight took two steps back in shock, and Sean moved forward to cross the road, looking up at the fluttering green paper. While walking, he slowly stretched out his hand and picked off two falling bills in the air - rather than saying "picking them off", it was better to say that the two bills floated into his palms.
Folding two hundred-dollar bills and putting them gently into his pocket, he lowered his head and continued walking forward. In the sight of the moonlight, green paper flying all over the sky blocked the sun from time to time. People on the street shouted and fought for each other, jumping up and down... Sean kept walking forward amidst such scenery.
Moonlight blinked and hurried to follow in a daze. Sean led him to a cafe across the road.
Grilled chicken drumstick sandwiches, waffles with maple syrup, omelettes, hash browns, and lattes were quickly placed on the table.
Originally, they only had more than two yuan left in their pockets, which was not enough for such a decent breakfast.
Just now... Moonlight was still in a daze: What just happened? Sean chose the perfect time to pass that intersection and get the money floating down from the sky, just to let us enjoy this breakfast?
"Yes, this is one of the best plans among more than two thousand return to the city - because here..." Sean held up the cup in his hand, not caring about Moonlight's expression as if he had seen a ghost, "The coffee here is great .”
"So, do you understand?" Sean put down the coffee, his tone was a little... tired, "What have I experienced?"
Moonlight nodded uncertainly: "1.62 million attempts..."
He smiled bitterly and said: "To be exact, it was nearly 1.6 million lifetimes - later, I became patient and spent a long time exploring each time, so it was a lifetime, not one time after another." A fleeting 'try'..."
Knowing that Moonlight had so many questions that he didn't know where to ask, Sean said: "We didn't understand what the wrong goddess meant - I did escape from Arkham again and again, found Candlelight again and again, and then again and again Looking for a way back to that world...
"Yet, I tried over a million times and still couldn't do it."
Moonlight squinted and asked, "What exactly do you want to find when you return to that world? Find a passage?"
"It's about finding my mask. If you find the mask, you can go back."
When Yueguang heard the word "mask" in this world, she 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... the curse of a master.
"But the Eternal Night Ark opens up a possibility. It is the only guide and the last hope."
Then, Sean recounted the whole incident. Moonlight gradually understood the whole story: they were imprisoned in this extremely real dream because they angered Kluwetan.
This world is indeed a boring dream, but they cannot wake up and return to the real world.
After hearing what Sean said, Yueguang found it difficult to calm down. He breathed heavily and looked out the window, feeling a little dizzy and inexplicably excited in his heart: "This is really a dream!" He recalled everything in the book, the explorer, the spiritual piano, the ubiquitous gods...
"That...that is the real world!"
He blinked, a force of reality trying to pull him back to the ground. But the candlelight in the ground, the image of Ms. Hershey, and the scene of Sean taking banknotes from the air in the backlight made it impossible for him to settle in "reality" anymore...
That world is real!
Waiting for the moonlight to calm down, Sean's voice lowered the temperature: "I understand how you feel now, Moonlight. No matter how many times you tell it, this truth makes people feel dizzy. It's like someone telling you that your most beautiful Dreams are actually real..."
After pausing for a sentence and staring into the moonlight, Sean said word by word: "However, what I want to tell you is: although that world is real, we can't go back there.
“This is really the most stupid situation: letting you know the truth but never being able to wake up from this dream.
"Moonlight, I have given up." He leaned back, his mood calm.
Moonlight blinked, and suddenly remembered the Sean who was laughing wildly in the stone room and shouting "impossible"...
The situation in front of me is even worse than that——
The desperate man has become quiet.
