When he woke up, Lu Tiao found that it was getting late.
He was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and the windows were closed. It was windy and snowy outside, but it was as warm as spring inside.
The blood on his face has disappeared, and his wounds have long been covered by vegetation and healed without leaving any traces.
Sitting up, Lu Tan felt a little weird.
He looked inside the bedroom. Two clouds of mist were lingering in the corners of the ceiling. There seemed to be a vague figure sitting on the chair.
"Is it you?"
No response.
But there was no more response.
It seems so.
When Lu Kian had an accident before, the cohabitants in these families could barely come into contact with Lu Kian and could only wait for Lu Jian's natural recovery.
But now, it seems that these cohabitants have initially acquired the ability to influence and interfere with reality. They can at least help him wash the dishes, clean the toilet, close the windows and cover the quilt.
"Is it true that, as Feng Yu said, the world's pollution level is getting deeper?"
Lu Tiao felt that the situation was getting serious.
His idea after chatting with Feng Yu was very simple, that is to improve the world's human beings' ability to withstand pollution to some extent. The first way was to cause a certain amount of slight pollution first.
Just like a vaccine, it first raises people's thresholds in some painless ways, allowing them to develop tolerance for strange and indescribable things in foreign lands. After that, if the entire world falls into a state of erosion, then humans will not be easy to alienate.
After achieving this step, what Lu Jian has to do is to find a way for human civilization and pollution to coexist.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that in fact, most of those foreign lands were worlds that had survived after severe erosion and widespread pollution.
And every world has its own way of living with pollution.
For example, the nucleosis in the wasteland is said to have destroyed civilization, but it may be that the existence of nucleosis allowed humans in that foreign land to complete their evolution and be able to survive in the desert and fight against overwhelming insects.
For example, in the Kingdom of Darkness, the knowledge of magic is inherently a kind of pollution, and the wizards of the Gray Tower isolate this pollution from ordinary humans through the magic network. Even the wizards who always use magic have adopted the method of
Magic network prayer is a way to temporarily gain knowledge to resist erosion.
As for Wajima, the system of pure fire and shrine maiden was originally the vanguard in the fight against pollution. At least the pure fire burned the filth and slowed down the progress of erosion and pollution affecting Wajima.
As for the abandoned city, the ruins lurking in monsters one after another may be traces of civilization being invaded by evil gods. As for the way to coexist with the abandoned city and pollution, Lu Jian cannot see for the time being.
Therefore, Lu Jian needs to figure out how these pollutions work and find a way to resist pollution that is suitable for this world.
This cannot be solved by singing "Good Luck Comes".
"Wait a minute, maybe you can sing "Good Luck Comes", wasn't that what the cinema was like at that time?"
He decided to keep the proposal on hold for now.
Getting up from the bed, Lu Tan washed himself, put on clean and fresh clothes, packed his backpack, and brought some necessary tools.
Although it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the hard-working Lu Jian decided to leave immediately.
He sent Feng Yu a message and received only a "bon voyage" reply.
It seems that Feng Yu is not surprised or worried that Lu Tan is about to go to the [Alienation] difficulty level.
It's also possible that she doesn't care much about Lu Tan's life or death.
Maybe even if Lu Tiao dies, Feng Yu will still be able to do something for him.
Putting down his cell phone, Lu Tan came to the table and opened the book that was illusory yet real, full of strangeness.
[Whether to enter a quiet place]
【whether】
The handwritten text appeared, and Lu Tan gently touched it with his finger [Yes]
In an instant, countless words flew out of the book and wrapped around Lu Tan's arms and body like vines. He felt a strong suction force in the book was dragging him. After resisting instinctively for a moment,
He chose to hug each other.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the room with the doors and windows closed. Countless pieces of paper flew into the air, and Lu Tiao was sucked into the book.
As for the book, its pages flipped crazily and finally closed, as if no one had ever opened it.
On the cover of the book, the painfully twisted human face turned into the appearance of Lu Jian, and above it, several strange and bloody words slowly appeared.
"The Mouth of a Madman".
[The flow rate of time in the Quiet Place is inconsistent with the outside world]
[The time ratio of this journey is: 1:1]
[Number of travelers: 2]
【Heading to the Abandoned Capital】
Lu Tiao didn't see this. He only felt that the world was spinning, and a sense of weightlessness that was beyond the past enveloped his whole body. Silhouettes of some monsters, incomprehensible scenes, and crazy murmurs passed through Lu Tiao's mind. When he came back to his senses,
By then, he was already sitting on a chair.
"......haven't seen you for a long time."
Lu Tiao discovered that sitting opposite him was Drizzt, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Drizzt still has the messy jet-black hair like seaweed, lake-blue eyes, and a somewhat angular face of a Westerner. He is wearing an autumn and winter coat, a deerstalker hat, and is holding a
Heather-carved pipe.
When Drizzt saw Lu Trip, he was stunned for a moment, but then he pretended that nothing happened and picked up the tea in front of him.
"I thought you should show up here in some more relaxed way."
Drizzt lowered his voice.
Lu Tan looked around. This was a teahouse with open-air seats, and he was sitting by the window in the store. There was a small ceramic cup in front of him, which contained hot tea. This tea seemed to be a combination of black tea and other teas.
Mixed, it has a strong fragrance, just smelling it is enough to refresh you.
The guests were dressed in suits, long gowns, and cheongsams, and they looked like a city at the beginning of the last century. The high-pitched conversations of men and women echoed in this teahouse. If you are careful, you may be able to hear some upper-class gossip, and you may be able to infer someone.
Some unknown business secrets may be able to spy on the house number of a lonely lady.
The people next to him did not express doubts about Lu Tian's sudden appearance, as if Lu Tian had been sitting there from the beginning.
While he was thinking, another person appeared on the seat next to Lu Tan.
She wore a dark gray hooded cloak, and underneath the cloak was thick and strong armor. Even her slender hands were covered with steel gloves. The woman had short, slightly curly light golden hair and green eyes, and there was no doubt that
, this is Xia, the mage from the Kingdom of Darkness.
She first noticed Drizzt, and then she noticed Lu Jian, her eyes less vigilant.
"Let me introduce, this is Drizzt, a detective, and the Chosen One like us."
Lu Tan pointed at the detective wearing a deerstalker hat, and then pointed at the girl wearing armor.
"This is Shia, a mage from the Kingdom of Darkness."
After speaking, Lu Tan picked up the tea cup and was about to drink the hot tea when he felt a shadow surrounding him.
