"...The man looked worried and had an unnatural look on his face. His former self-confidence was gone. Instead, he handed this letter to me with a sense of decadence. You want to ask me, what did he say? He said
In the coming days, he will leave the fellow train and return to his hometown, and is determined not to interfere with certain things from now on."
Sophie repeated it to Gwen in a curious tone: the retelling she had received from the receptionist.
Although it is a third-hand product, I think there shouldn't be too many flaws.
Gwen smoothed the pages of the book, inserted the bookmark, and closed it gently.
He took off a pair of glasses that magnified the fonts he had inherited from the old man's study room and put them aside. The words in Utopia are relatively small, so you need to wear glasses that can magnify the fonts to read comfortably.
.
He put the letter in front of him and looked up at Sophie: "Thank you for conveying it, Captain Sophie."
"You're welcome. If you need anything else, just call me. Even on Yuanli Yitu, I can provide more or less experience."
She walked to the desk outside.
Gwen exhaled slowly, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper inside.
The paper used is not specially used for writing letters, but a piece of ordinary paper mass-produced as office supplies.
When he saw this piece of paper, a bad premonition flashed through his heart.
Although he didn't spend much time with Jackal, he knew very clearly what kind of tough person Jackal was, or in other words, what kind of strong and tenacious man he was. This toughness was also reflected in his
Meticulous about life.
The large number of trembling brushstrokes and confusing descriptions on the paper made Gwen even more convinced.
Jackal was in a very frightening situation, and this fear even made it impossible for him to maintain the reserve and peace of a scholar.
The first sentence in the letter is:
"Gwen, you are the ghost story itself."
This sentence alone made Gwen, who usually showed no expression at all, raise her eyebrows and quickly looked around her to make sure that no one was prying into her secrets before she looked down.
But what is regrettable, or frightening, is that what follows in the letter is a strange and strange rationality.
It turned into a letter of "chilling".
What makes it even more difficult to control the fear in my heart is that I saw Jackal a few days ago, but Jackal wrote in the letter as if "two people who have a good relationship have not seen each other for decades"
, the content described is intimate and full of weird feelings.
There isn't much useful information in the letters.
The words "Do you remember the play we went to see?" and "It was such a good play, even the actors were immersed in it and performed to the fullest" frequently appeared in the letters.
There is also the matter of caring about Gwen’s pets.
But these non-existent events are enough to make people confused.
Gwen asked Sophie in the lounge: "What day is it today?"
And after Sophie reported the accurate date.
Gwen confirmed that she did not have such an outrageous time-space jump. There was no need to confirm, but this world has source power, and it also happened that she traveled to a corpse. Therefore:
Let's just pretend that anything can happen.
…………
"It has nothing to do with time or memory, so what does it have to do with?"
Gwen touched her chest and felt the doubts coming from her heart.
The only thing that is certain is that the jackal is asking for help, asking for help from a stranger who is not a stranger.
The relationship between the two has not reached this point.
Gwen suddenly had a hint of inspiration in her heart.
He stood up, walked to the newspaper rack next to him, and pulled down the most popular "Follower", "Utopia" and "March Cross" from the top.
Laying the newspaper flat on the table, he used his extraordinary memory and reading ability to read all the titles on the cover and headlines.
After reading them all.
The frequency of the words "mind flayer" increased by nearly 200%!
It seems that some invisible force is driving the progress of this sentence, and it seems that some invisible force is controlling the outbreak of events. The mind flayer incidents are increasing at a terrifying speed, and in a... many
People don't seem to care about the speed at which it goes.
ignored.
Why was the outbreak of the weird story ignored? Why did the Silver Masked Man and a copycat be killed, but more copycats emerged?
Gwen suddenly realized this.
What’s even more frightening is that he didn’t even realize it before, that it was a ‘coincidence’ and an ‘accelerated story’.
But he didn't have an answer.
There is no stable answer, but I can vaguely grasp a hint of inspiration, just like the ray of light I glimpsed when I opened the door and entered the palace of talent. I scratched my head and asked for it, but I couldn't get it. But for those who really walked in
But it is very clear to humans.
Gwen wasn't the one who walked in.
But he knew someone had 'walked in'.
Jackal.
This outstanding scholar, this outstanding professor, walked into the palace of thought at the core of this strange incident. He glimpsed something that caused him to fall into "madness", but the symptoms were not serious.
Gwen has the ability to sense each other's mood through contact.
Therefore, we can also detect from the random and disorderly fluctuations in the source of power in this letter that the jackal is not 'crazy', but 'fearful'. It's like an ant suddenly discovering boiling water falling from the sky.
Fear, the emotion derived from fear makes him look a little crazy on the outside, but it is still 'sane' in nature.
Just find the jackal and tell him with your fists:
"The Riddler may not necessarily die from fear and unknown terror, but he will definitely die from Gwen's fist."
I believe this way of boosting courage can help Jackals!
If Gwen was a medieval doctor, hey, not to mention three axes, just one ax would be enough!
【Violence】.
Gwen mentally formulated a treatment plan for punching.
He closed the book and put the precious secret book into his pocket.
And go back to the room to tidy up.
Utopia's Source Force messengers often carry this kind of pocket, carrying secret codes that they don't understand well, and studying them while moving. For example, the Silver-faced Man takes all his knowledge, notes and secret codes with him, maybe in
When trying to seize the heart, he will also conduct research.
Gwen put on the mask she obtained from the Silver Masked Man and walked out of the room.
I happened to meet the red dog and the rabbit who were chatting.
Red Dog has a small talent in energy, which makes Rabbit wish to teach her.
It’s also quite rare.
A Wilge actually wants to teach Ron.
After Gwen walked over, she said hello to Tu Xi: "Are you busy now?"
"Humph..." The rabbit squinted its eyes, as if looking at something bad.
Red Dog smiled enthusiastically and said, "You're not busy. Do you have anything you need our help with?"
Gwen saw the rabbit mouthing: "Don't take me without permission...it's really troublesome."
He pretended not to understand, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I need to trouble you. Can you take me somewhere?"
Red Dog's ability to drive a motorcycle is top-notch.
Rabbit's motorcycle is top-notch.
Taken together, if the rabbit can be kicked out and the red dog can keep driving, it will be a match made in heaven.
It was roughly Gwen's expression of 'Rabbit, can you climb the red dog driving?' that made the rabbit feel a little bit in danger.
The rabbit reluctantly agreed: "Although it is not the time for the Welji people to come out, if you ask me to bring my sleeping mat, I am still willing to help."
