Indescribable cyberpunk

Lying flat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the ceiling, crossing his legs, humming a tune that he subconsciously thought of in a low voice, not in a meaningless daze, but thinking about the next plan.

What the old priest said in the dream made Zhu Jue suddenly realize that he seemed to be facing a choice.

An unavoidable choice before you.

As the old priest said:

I am only responsible for speaking out about these messages. It’s up to you whether you want to listen to them or act on them!

The implication is actually very clear. Zhu Jue can ignore what he said, pretend that nothing has happened, and continue to do whatever he needs to do. Anyway, the old priest's consciousness should be complete after conveying these words. It disappeared, and Lobelin was completely unaware of it.

On the other hand, if Zhu Jue chooses to accept this information and go to the stone monastery in the eastern desert, then he will undoubtedly involve himself in this upcoming or ongoing catastrophe.

Because it was foreseeable that the things the old priest hid under the bed were very likely to have certain purposes. When Zhu Jue accepted them, he also accepted his request.

That is to find the gods in the dreamland and tell them what you know.

How about going to get something first and then come back without caring about anything?

This may be a good way to evade responsibility, but Zhu Jue doesn't believe that the old priest who can still retain his will and easily control another person's subconscious after a few years of death will leave nothing behind. .

Either don’t touch anything, or accept the good and the bad!

However, this is not just a matter of two strangers meeting each other on the road and asking each other "Have you eaten?". The Great Elder Atal in the Usa Temple has clearly stated the possible consequences of searching for these gods.

Being thrown hundreds of meters into the air by some force and then torn into pieces and falling down is not just a scary story.

If you take this path, you will face unpredictable dangers, there is no doubt about it.

Zhu Jue doesn't like troublesome things. He has always been like this. Normally, he might pretend to know nothing and forget about these things after a sleep. But this time, although the things in front of him are very troublesome, they are still very troublesome. It was hard for him to give up.

Because he had a strange intuition, which was the same as the sea and crabs that appeared in his dream two days ago.

Initially it was just some mental fluttering, but as soon as Zhu Jue thought deeply, he couldn't help but think that he had to do this, as if he would regret it if he missed it.

This idea goes against his original intention, but the last Crab Lord incident has proven it once, it is best not to ignore this feeling!

Zhu Jue's self-contradictory thoughts made Zhu Jue feel bored. This kind of state did not happen to him often, which meant that once it appeared, it would be a real trouble, which would make his already tired and confused spirit even more uncomfortable. Even if he lit up a No amount of incense can relieve it.

Going for a walk?

"Wind Chime, I'll go out for a couple of walks while you look after the house."

Following his own wishes, Zhu Jue said to the wind chime. The latter was running around the room, killing its imaginary prey. Hearing Zhu Jue's words, he stopped and called out to express his understanding.

Zhu Jue didn't plan to run far. The residential building he was in was a community in itself, so he simply strolled along the corridor.

Speaking of which, Zhu Jue has never been to other floors since he moved here. At most, he just took a look while riding in the elevator. This time, on a whim, he circled up from the floor he was on without deliberately speeding up. Quickly, buy a bottle of happy water from the vending machine, put your hands behind your back like a little old man eating after a meal.

Passing by the fitness center on the same floor, three or five people were playing basketball with the robot. The latter could keep up with the movements and speed of humans. Occasionally, it could make two cheers or annoyance movements, but it was a little stiff and could be seen. The output is programmed.

Stopping in front of the internal children's playground on the 15th floor, there are a dozen children playing around accompanied by their adults. There are no smart equipment, only play facilities made of sponges or other soft materials.

Walking into the cinema on the 20th floor, there is no difference between 2D and 3D. Here there is only VR panorama or the latest protagonist memory connection mode. Parents and children, young couples, young friends, chatting and laughing, waiting for their own show to start. .

Zhu Jue just stayed aside quietly. The dilapidated scenes he saw in Shenzhen and Hong Kong during the day flashed through his mind one by one, comparing them with the scenes in front of him.

The gap is reflected in all aspects.

This is only the situation in what those in the city center consider "low-class areas"!

Is this how life is?

There were still contradictions in the previous choices, but new doubts arose in Zhu Jue's mind.

Why do so many poor people believe in the reappearance of a beautiful world after disasters that some cults say?

It’s not because this world makes them at a loss as to what to do, everywhere is an abyss for them!

Is such a world deformed?

Can the threat to the world from monsters that are the source of mental pollution be seen as an opportunity to start over again?

The confusion in his thinking caused Zhu Jue's will to begin to agitate in a strange state.

The experience during this period caused his own strong will to be damaged one after another. The black octavo text, the Crab Lord, and the yellow silk mask. The indescribable objects Zhu Jue faced were more terrifying than the last.

Zhu Jue relied on his strong will to suppress them again and again, but now when he began to hate something, especially the emotion of self-doubt, the horror that he had suppressed seemed to have found an outlet. , trying to fight back forcefully!

There was a "whoosh~" wind in his ears, and the air around him became a little sticky. Ice crystals fell down around Zhu Jue's body. It was no longer pure white, but was filled with disgusting black mist.

"Brother, do you want to buy flowers?"

I don't know when, a little girl in simple clothes walked up to Zhu Jue and asked timidly.

The look she held up was not very good. At first glance, she knew it was a wild yellow flower, but it looked a bit delicate when wrapped in colorful cloth strips.

"Are you jealous of them? Tell the truth!"

Zhu Jue turned his head and pointed at the laughing crowd in front, a dark mist filling his right eye.

"Jealous? I'm just a little envious."

The little girl looked at the strange "uncle" in front of her and replied with some fear.

"If we destroyed the world and made you just like them, would you do it all over again?"

A bloody smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the black mist in his eyes became thicker.

"don't want."

The little girl's answer was decisive.

"Why?"

Zhu Jue's movements stopped and he asked in surprise.

"Because my mother just cooked pork rib soup today and waited for me to drink it. My father finally bought it. If you don't buy flowers, I will leave. Brother, you think about so many weird things all day long. Drink hot water, my dad said it can cure all diseases!"

The little girl put the flowers back into the basket in her hand and skipped away. It could be seen that she was in a very good mood, perhaps because she gave some mature advice to some strange "uncle".

Drink more hot water and cure all diseases!

Yes, the prerequisite for destroying the world and bringing about a better world is to destroy the beautiful world in the hearts of these people now!

How could that be right?

This world is still very cute.

You won't lose anything if you do something for it. If you really encounter something terrible, the worst thing you can do is drink more hot water.

"Hey, drink more hot water. Hahaha~"

The black mist faded away, and Zhu Jue, who was refreshed, stood up with a smile and trotted to catch up with the girl.

"Why don't you sell all the flowers to me at a 50% discount? Why don't you give me a 20% discount? That's too much. Give it a 10% discount. If you don't sell it to me, I won't want it!"

Carrying a small flower basket and humming a song, Zhu Jue returned to his room, put the flowers in a glass vase and lay down on the sofa contentedly.

"There are a lot of things to do next."

Zhu Jue put his hands behind his head and whispered to himself.

You definitely have to go to the stone monastery in the eastern desert of Dreamland, and you have to be led by Lobelin, but before that, it is crucial to visit the Great Elder Atal in the temple in Ulsa Town.

Although that guy was not very reliable, Zhu Jue did not forget the story he once told about himself and his friends chasing gods together. The former was just one step away from success, while the latter was killed by some mysterious force after success. .

Regardless of the outcome, there is no doubt that they all know some important information about this.

Since gods were mentioned in the first message given by the old priest, it would not be wrong to ask Elder Atal, and maybe he could get some additional useful information.

"Huh~~"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue let out a sigh of relief subconsciously, and suddenly realized that the world in another space seemed to hide many secrets.

In fact, we can see some clues just from the existence represented by the Crab Lord's ring and the yellow silk mask. Even compared to the mess in the real world, the situation in the dreamland may be deeper?

The space door should be accessible now, but Zhu Jue wanted to wait until Lisanna arrived in Usa before going there, solving all the problems at once, and saving time from running back and forth.

"There are almost two days left, what should we do?"

Turning sideways, supporting his chin with his left hand, his eyes followed the figure of the wind chime as it drifted around the room.

This time is really awkward. The Yimeng side has been busy investigating serial murder cases for the past two days. Zhu Jue is somewhat interested in the monster that appears as a source of mental pollution before and after the man was in coma, but he can't get involved in this aspect. After all, they are conducting No one without a computer brain would be able to do such work as news aggregation and analysis.

As for Lotus Leaf and Wutong, the city they are in is still far away from Shuguang City. Not to mention the time it takes, I only mentioned that I was very busy this afternoon and asked someone to take me out to play tomorrow.

Doesn't this slap in the face make a snapping sound?

Ding~

There were messages flashing on "TALK". Zhu Jue turned around, took the phone in his hand, and glanced at the sender: Olivia.

Clicking on the message content, there is a video at the top, the still picture is a cloud of khaki smoke, and at the bottom is a series of intermittent voice messages.

"Zhu Jue, there is a giant spiritual pollution source monster in the ruins!"

"We are trapped, the evacuation route is about to collapse, the signal will be blocked, and we have no time!"

"There is very important information in the ruins. If you want to know, then rescue us before the Archaeological Association comes in!"

She could barely make out the general content of the words from the noisy background sound. The first two sentences described the situation, and the last sentence was undoubtedly attracting Zhu Jue to come over. Olivia also knew Zhu Jue, and she knew how much this guy felt about these ruins. Interested, so I specially mention it.

I have to say, this method is really useful.

Putting his hands on the sofa, he jumped up. The wind chimes running around beside him kicked off the low table and jumped into Zhu Jue's arms.

The scavenger hooked the windbreaker hanging on the sofa on the other side and put it on Zhu Jue. The latter reached out to the left and right as he walked towards the door, put on the windbreaker completely, and raised his hand to open the door.

Outside the corridor is pitch black night.

"If you are really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. If you sleep with your MB, go out and have fun!"

He closed the door with his backhand and strode towards the landing point of the airship.
