There seemed to be some ripples in the air, but maybe that was just Drizzt's imagination.
Nothing seems to have changed, but everything seems to have changed.
"Don't worry, you should, should be able to go back safely."
Putting down the pen, Gudu took a breath.
"In the story, I have sent you out of the town. You only need to walk out of this door to return to the original abandoned city."
He pointed at the wooden door that appeared at some point behind the three of them.
"What about you?"
Shia couldn't help but ask.
"I am already a person in the book."
People were calm in ancient times.
He picked up the harmonica on the table.
"You have been looking at this thing just now, does it look like you know it?"
Gudu said to Lu Jian.
"I know his master."
Lu Tan replied that although he had only seen the corpse, he still knew him.
"Then I'll give this to you. There's no point in keeping it here with me."
He handed the harmonica to Lu Tian, who took it and held it in his hand. The weight of the harmonica was very heavy, as if it was carrying a lot.
[Item Obtained: Du Danping’s Melody Fragments]
System's indifferent and cold words appeared on the harmonica's shell.
"One more thing."
Gudu took out another piece of paper from the pile of old papers and handed it to Lu Jian.
"Before I met that friend, I was in love with a woman. Later, because of the guy in this door, I had to stay away from everyone. I only gave her one copy of the novel after it was published.
Leave the title page as a souvenir. I hope you can have the opportunity to bring this title page to her, just say..."
The great writer was at a loss for words for a moment. He thought about it for a while before continuing to speak.
"Just say, he is no longer here."
Lu Tan took the piece of paper and felt it looked familiar.
He took out the "Old News of the Wasted Capital" that he had taken from Shitou before from his pocket, opened the cover, and put the title page inside.
The tear marks actually matched perfectly.
"...Is she okay?"
Gudu understood a lot of things in an instant, but he did not waver. What should be wavered, what should be hesitant, and what should be entangled had already been shaken, hesitated, and entangled long before the ending.
"Her children have grown up and are doing well now."
Lu Tan replied.
"That's good."
The ancient capital seemed a little sad, but in the end it was relieved.
"You go, it's not a good thing to stay here for too long."
He waved his hand and urged the three of them to leave.
The mission has been completed, and Lu Jian really has no reason to stay here anymore.
They pushed open the wooden door, and there was a thick night outside. The town no longer existed, leaving only endless ruins.
The rental car was parked outside, quietly, like an old friend.
Lu Tan took one last look at the ancient capital sitting in front of the bronze gate. The other person did not look here, but lowered his head, picked up the pen, and was ready to write another story.
He will continue to create frightening, frightening, and trembling stories like this to please the sleeping god. This kind of struggle will continue forever, until the end of the universe. No, even if the universe ends, maybe he will still
I kept writing in the dreamland of the old ruler.
Lu Tiao closed the door, and the door completely disappeared. The road was empty, as if nothing had ever existed.
Suddenly, on the other side of the endless ruins, Lu Jian saw a little white fish belly.
On the other side of the pitch-black horizon, where even the stars were invisible, a ray of light pierced through the darkness and penetrated the sky.
Immediately afterwards, brilliant, brilliant and dazzling sunlight illuminated the sky, and a golden sun slowly rose from the horizon.
In the morning light, the world was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the light hit the broken arms and ruins, leaving dazzling spots on the slightly bumpy road.
Everything is like a new life, full of hope.
No one knows that there once was an ordinary man here who relied on his own wisdom to imprison the indescribable gods.
"Give this to Shitou, he should be able to understand everything."
Lu Tan handed the newly completed "Old News of the Abandoned City" to Drizzt.
"You mean, he is from the ancient capital..."
Drizzt quickly understood.
"This task may not be as simple as we think."
After experiencing so much, Lu Jian had already made some guesses about the Land of Silence.
"If something goes wrong in the middle, we may become cannon fodder in the novel, a detective who failed in the previous wave of investigations, a nameless monster, or a named dead person."
This is the essence of [alienation].
Although the ancient capital did not say it clearly, there may have been many similar chosen ones who participated in this mission before, but they all failed and eventually became one of the townspeople wearing suits, or were jumped out of the painting.
Torn apart by dogs, or lost in the wild roads of the ruined city.
As for those indescribable great beings, they themselves seem to be incompatible with each other, and there are even obvious rivalries and hostile relationships between some beings.
The arrival of Lu Jian and others here is the key to completing the story of the ancient capital and ultimately allowing the sleeper to continue sleeping.
Therefore, the gods of the Quiet Land may not want this person in the ruined capital to wake up.
"Won't you go back with me?"
Drizzt sat in the driver's seat and asked.
"No, I don't like sitting on this thing. It makes me dizzy easily."
The reasons Shia gave are very true.
"I don't want to ride around in a car with a man."
Lu Tan’s reason is even more real.
"..."
Drizzt had no choice but to start the engine and glanced at the two of them again.
"Anyway, I hope we can meet again."
Lu Tiao nodded, and immediately, system text appeared in his field of vision.
[Mission completed, now return]
【3...2...1...】
The surrounding ruins were twisted into a ball, and Lu Tiao felt like the world was spinning. In that extreme dizziness, he seemed to see some slippery tentacles passing around his body, and saw some floating cloaks, like sinking into the cold darkness.
Like lake water, a sense of suffocation enveloped Lu Jiao.
"...something's wrong?"
In the past, although returning from a foreign land was a bit strange, it was still an experience similar to flying.
But now, this unnatural feeling of suffocation is unreasonable.
Lu Tan tried to find some clues from the colorful world around him. He saw an emerald-colored eye without pupils at his feet staring at him.
However, the eyes disappeared after just a moment and were covered by dreamy and colorful bubbles.
All of this was quickly distorted, and the suffocation that bothered Lu Jian disappeared, and his feet once again stepped onto the solid ground.
He saw himself sitting at the computer desk. The tattered and rotten book on the desk was blowing away in the wind. On the cover, a slightly crazy man was writing furiously. From his writing, countless monsters escaped.
come out.
The last thing that disappeared was the title of the book. Lu Jian saw that it was called "The Mouth of a Madman".
