Camille hadn't been able to put her chin back. When she came back to her senses, she felt the muscles on her face were sore. She stretched out her hands to rub them and said in a tone that sounded like she was about to cry:

"A strange encounter... No, no, no, Lily, I can't describe it anymore. Ever since you suddenly disappeared after falling off the platform, I haven't seen anything that made me feel normal. Could it be that I What's wrong with your brain?"

Then, as if grasping a life-saving straw, Camille began to talk about her experiences and some of her psychological activities in just a few minutes.

Lily didn't interrupt and listened carefully.

She needs to take care of Camille's emotions, and at the same time, she also needs to know what these "strange phenomena" look like in the eyes of a bystander.

When she learned that she had suddenly disappeared and the train doors outside the platform had changed into an arrangement like this, Lily couldn't help but become a little curious. What was the "power" that pulled her and John to the strange space? , why is it related to [Two Points Four Mists], and why do you want to drag them into that strange world?

"So Lily, where have you been? What happened? Why aren't you panicking at all?"

With someone to talk to, Camille finally calmed down and finally noticed something that was not right.

After all, Camille didn't know about John's situation, nor had she witnessed what happened that day or learned about some of John's subsequent changes, so of course she found it incredible. What made her even more incredible was Lily's attitude, which was too indifferent... …

"Well... I can't explain it in a sentence or two. I'll explain it to you on our way back. Now let's search here again to see if there's anything else we can use." Lily thought that since Camille saw her disappearance, Then she needed to understand something, and decided to briefly explain it to Camille on the way back.

"Okay." Camille didn't ask any more questions.

Cooperating with Camille, Lily and Camille found a box of pistol ammunition and a bundle of rescue rope in the fire emergency office and police room of the station respectively.

After confirming that nothing was wrong, Lily and Camille returned along the original path. This time Camille did not choose to jump directly from the platform, but took the stairs at the edge of the platform.

This amused Lily so much that she laughed and said she was too careful.

Camille was indeed frightened, and she was still waiting for Lily to explain to her.

On the way back along the railway track, Lily briefly explained to Camille that the children in the orphanage will most likely be pulled into a strange world by a mysterious "power" when they turn 15 and experience something, and then they will gain some abilities. .

For example, she initially had some auxiliary abilities, such as the improvement of the flexibility of her body and fingers, and her ability to speak more convincingly.

And just now, this glove gave her an interesting active ability - distortion, which can change some "established facts" or "basic cognition" recognized by intelligent creatures within a certain range, or temporarily deceive the other party.

Hmm... Speaking of gloves, Lily felt that these gloves were too eye-catching. She silently glanced at her right hand, where the bright light was still surrounding her.

Camille couldn't calm down after listening to what Lily said, so science can no longer explain everything, right?

Of course Lily didn't know what Camille was thinking. She was thinking about how to solve the problem of gloves. Should she wear them like this all the time, or should she wear them again when needed?

She noticed that if she wore this glove, as long as she concentrated, she could briefly break through the 24-meter visibility limit of [Two Points and Four Fog] and see things about 50 meters away in the direction she was looking.

As for this active ability called distortion, or skill (Ender's influence), the maximum operable range is still 50 meters, provided that you need to look at the other person.

At the same time, she can't change the "established facts" that are too deep-rooted. For example, if she wants Aiden to think that the sun rises from the west, she can't do it, because everyone on Blue Star knows that the sun rises from the east.

In terms of "basic cognition", Lily didn't quite understand this phrase. Although she had some guesses about this, it was like what the other person did to her when she was in that world. To be honest, she had a deep memory. , so profound that she didn’t want to think about it again.

But it’s not easy for Lily to try it now. She can’t experiment with Camille. What if something really happens?

Oh, by the way, it seems that she can also use her gloves to "steal" something from someone she chooses as a target. This is her intuition, and she doesn't have a clue about it.

Suddenly, Lily, who was inspired, silently shouted "Jiao Zhao" in her heart, and gave the idea of ​​becoming transparent.

"Huh? Lily, where's your glove?" Camille suddenly felt that Lily's shining glove seemed to have disappeared from the corner of her eye.

Lily smiled and said nothing.

Yes, she succeeded, the gloves really became transparent, and only she could feel it. In the eyes of others, her hand was not wearing anything.

After returning to the London Eye, Lily and Camille only saw Dunn sitting on the railway track with a piece of dogtail grass he found in his mouth.

As soon as Dunn heard the sound of someone coming, he hurriedly turned around to check. After seeing clearly that it was Lily and Camille, he immediately smiled brightly, stood up and walked quickly towards the two of them, and began to describe incessantly the story of Lily and Camille's departure. What happened during this time.

It turned out that not long after the two of them left, Dunn, who had been close to the London Eye to check the situation, discovered something interesting——

It seems to be some things left by some maintenance staff in a cable car on the London Eye, and then they were scattered on the railway due to the impact. They are some various tools, such as hammers, wrenches, screws and pliers. , and there is also a simple dagger inside.

As he spoke, Dunn quickly ran back to the railway track where he had just been sitting, and groped around from the inside of the track. When he pulled out his hand, Lily, whose observation skills were improved, knew that it was the dagger that Dunn had just mentioned.

Dunn returned to Lily and Camille with the dagger. Camille lost interest after one glance. She didn't like this, but Lily couldn't move her eyes away.

The whole body of the dagger showed a kind of bluish color. It didn't seem to be made of the common stainless steel. Lily couldn't tell the style of the knife. The blade had a slight curvature and there were grooves near the blade.

The strange thing is that this dagger does not have a tandem, or the area of ​​the tangent is too small, only a pitiful small circle. The last part of the knife has a design that is quite in the style of the aristocrats of the old British Empire. The grip is in It looks slender and short against the fat tail handle.

The length of the entire dagger was just controlled within 25 centimeters, which made Lily's "passive skill" a bit awkward.
