Lu Yanli suddenly felt a palpitation.
This creepy palpitation came from nowhere, creeping up on his heart. But Lu Yanli believed in his intuition - after years of wandering on the edge of life and death, intuition was more important than logical reasoning.
So, what happened again
The momentary creepy feeling was gone in a flash, leaving me alone sitting in the room, sorting out documents.
He only had a Pisces jade pendant on him. He took it off and looked at it for a long time, and then he recalled the album. Lu Yanli had a good memory and could recall all the contents in the album.
I just couldn't figure out why my future self would draw such an album, why I would put it in a library, and why I would be led there specifically.
Is it just to give it to my current self
Lin Chu is currently in the same camp as him, but she is not trustworthy enough. They both know very well that before the cultural festival, they are using each other. But at least... she is of use.
The room he was in happened to be a small room with complete supplies, including painting tools. Thinking of this, he got up to take out the painting tools, spread out the paper, and started painting.
The brushstrokes, style, content... are exactly the same as in that atlas.
However, the painting process was not smooth. When he was halfway through, he was suddenly interrupted. There was a knock on the door.
The voice didn't sound like a ghost. The voice coming from outside the door was exactly the same as his own. Lu Yanli realized that it was his future self.
"Come in, it's not locked."
The door handle turned.
A person who looked exactly like him pushed the door open and entered.
The two men were wearing different clothes. At first glance, they looked exactly the same, but upon closer inspection, there were still differences. One still had marks on his neck and looked pale and haggard, while the other seemed to be in much better spirits.
Lu Yanli, who was still in the dark, said: "We are finally back. Fortunately, we didn't exceed the time limit."
"time out?"
"Yes, we must participate in the cultural festival to form a closed loop of time. Otherwise, everyone will disappear."
Lu Yanli's mind was in a state of confusion. He stared at his future self and tried to find some information from her words: "What exactly happened at the Cultural Festival?"
Unconsciously, Lu Yanli shook his head, and looked back at the eyes that were exactly the same as his own: "You will know." He stretched out his hand, pointed at the other person, and pointed at himself, "If we want to survive, we must change."
He used the word "we" to make his past self more convinced that they were in the same camp.
No matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future, my intuition always prevails over logic. Before I started, I gave myself a psychological hint: I am doing this for your own good, for win-win cooperation, and I have no ill will towards you.
Otherwise, you may not be able to deceive your past self.
"Don't believe in that thing too much." He said to his past self, "If more people regard it as a god, it might... really become a god."
"Because of faith?" Lu Yanli asked.
"Maybe. Is it faith or something else? I don't know for now." He said the last words to his past self, "Do you believe in idealism? If you believe, then yes. If you don't believe, then no."
Before my past self could raise any doubts, he had already arrived at my table: "I'll take this unfinished album away first. Trust me, it will be of great benefit to us."
No matter when, we always take "we" as our position in order to gain the trust of the other party.
Know yourself too well.
Even if it is the same person, I will never stop trusting him/her. We will always only trust me, and will not place our hopes on something as illusory as our selves in another world or our future selves.
Although Lu Yanli still had some doubts in his heart, he had no choice for the time being. In addition, the other party had actively lured away the evil spirit in his eyes and had also shown kindness to him. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and let the other party clean up at the table and take away the still scattered unfinished picture album.
"Speaking of which, the paint in this room can still be used." He casually picked up a few unopened tubes of paint on the table and compared them in his hands. "But, they are about to expire."
Lu Yanli didn't say anything and let him clean up.
Before leaving, Lu Yanli, who was not yet married, reached out and patted his past self, staring at the other person for a long time with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but finally left.
After he left, Lu Yanli closed the door.
After searching for a long time, he decided to go back to the table and continue painting.
Yes, don't believe in your future self.
Lu Yanli knew himself too well. If he really saw his past self, his first thought would be to destroy him and survive himself.
The future seems to care about this album very much, so it must be restored as soon as possible.
In the future timeline, Lu Yanli pulled up his hood after leaving the room, carefully avoiding the cameras all the way.
Outside the psychic town, a truck drove slowly.
Most of the trees outside the town were burned down by the fire a few days ago, and now they are still dark and bare, with few people coming. The truck drove to the tunnel and slowly stopped.
"Can you feel it? In here?" the man driving asked the tall, dark-faced girl sitting in the back of the car.
The girl said slowly: "... can... be here."
The driver felt relieved, turned off the high beam, and drove slowly into the tunnel.
"After you go in, you must not speak. Can you do that?"
"… good… "
It was pitch black in the tunnel, and nothing could be seen clearly, but the driver knew that he must not turn on the lights easily.
When you pass through this kind of tunnel that goes through time and space, or... let's call it a wormhole for the time being, you must never act presumptuously and hear or see something that should not be perceived.
Darkness is our enemy.
The girl in the truck had no facial features, she didn't speak, and she sat very quietly in the back seat. But she could sense...
A thing is looking at her!
This made her feel very uncomfortable, but she had promised not to speak, so she had to hold it in. Gradually, her hair began to wet with sweat.
The darkness seemed endless, and the driver could not see anything in the darkness. It was dark inside and outside the car, so he could only drive forward quietly, at the lowest speed, for fear of making any noise. But things did not go as planned. After driving for an unknown period of time, the truck seemed to hit something, causing a not-so-slight vibration.
Even though they didn't make any sound, the decibel level of the truck's sudden shaking was not low. The driver's heart tightened for a moment, and he immediately realized the dire situation. He continued to move forward steadily, allowing the truck to knock down the thing and run over it.
Based on the touch, it feels like I'm crushing someone...
The driver didn't dare to think too much and continued driving forward.
I don't know how long I drove, but I finally saw a ray of light in front of me. The light was so bright that it made the driver, who had been in the dark for a long time, feel a little blinded. I couldn't say anything, so I had to keep going.
The light was getting closer and closer, and finally, it drove out of the long tunnel and stopped in the sunlight.
"Okay, here we are..." The driver excitedly leaned half of his body out of the wide-open window to greet the pretty girl in the back seat, but he never expected...
There was nothing in the trunk.
The faceless woman who was as tall as three people and had to sit on her knees in the carriage disappeared!
"No... How is this possible!" The news of the missing face girl was too shocking for the driver to accept. He opened the door and jumped out, looking left and right, but found nothing.
The carriage is empty!
Really... I lost an A-level sealed object!
And he was lost in a world where it is very likely that the manager and his companions are there!
Such weirdness, if not controlled by the authorities, would inevitably cause chaos. Although the female with a beautiful face has stable attributes, if they cannot control her, once she loses control, it will be out of control.
"Are you there? Where did you go?" The driver didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of causing any unusual changes in the cave.
However, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it.
I still remember that I seemed to have hit something in the tunnel. After searching for a long time without success, I turned around and saw the car.
There were bloodstains on all four tires.
“… So, she lost it?” Lin Chu listened calmly, and couldn’t help but clench his fists.
"Yes. I'm sorry, it's my fault." The driver lowered his head in shame.
"This is certainly your dereliction of duty. When you found out she was missing, wouldn't you have gone into the tunnel to look for her?" Lin Chu didn't want to say anything too harsh, but she couldn't hide her anger.
She was also shocked. How could an item that could restrain the statue be lost so miserably
The driver dared not speak.
What I didn't say was that I was planning to enter the tunnel, but when I stood at the entrance and was about to enter, the extremely terrifying aura coming from inside made me dare not go in. Even though I encouraged myself several times, I still didn't dare to take a step forward.
I dare not step in, no matter what.
So he had to enter the town first. After hearing about the living traces of Lin Chu and others, he immediately went to find them, hoping to enter the tunnel together to search.
Lin Chu paced back and forth in the room, finally trying to calm down her anger. She forced herself to smile and said, "Okay, let's wait for the test results to come out."
She asked her team members to have the blood stains on the tire tested to see if they could find any results.
In addition, if she really wanted to explore the tunnel, she planned to ask Lu Yanli to go with her.
She wanted to try to see if she could maximize the uniqueness of Lu Yanli.
The wait was not too long, and soon, the test results came out. The blood belonged to human beings, and because we did not have a sample in our hands, we could not tell who the person was, but we knew that it was fresh blood.
“Maybe I really bumped into someone in the tunnel.” Lin Chu murmured.
Who would enter the psychic town at this time
Could it be her teammates as well
After confirming that the bloodstains might belong to one person, Lin Chu went to find Lu Yanli alone. She asked the other person to stay hidden for the time being. When she found the address according to the code and knocked on the door, the other party seemed to be normal.
There was still a smell of paint in the room.
Since Lu Yanli didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She glanced and saw the picture album on the table.
“Did you draw it?” Lin Chu asked in a hurry, pretending to walk over and flip through a few pages casually.
"Yes." Lu Yanli asked back, "What's the matter?"
"Do you still remember that black-faced girl? I would like to ask you to go find her together." Lin Chu was flipping through the pages consciously, and suddenly, his eyes fixed.
The color here is wrong!
