Chapter 128

Like Yu Gaoyi, Lin Chu didn’t want to offend Lu Yanli unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, she tried her best to explain everything she could.

She had a feeling she was getting closer to the truth.

“Indeed, it’s looking for me,” Lu Yanli said. “I can feel it, it keeps trying to pull me into that world.”

He didn’t know if it was because of the jade pendant on him, but he had no intention of handing it over.

As for the other jade pendant given to his future self, he didn’t know that it had already reached the other party’s hands. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have found him so quickly.

Lu Yanli pondered slightly, deciding not to hide it. Now both sides needed to exchange information. After he stated a year, Lin Chu murmured, “No wonder.”

The tunnel she had just passed through, every lap she walked, was going back twelve years, right? A full five laps, sixty years ago.

So, all the marks she had made had disappeared, forcing her to choose to blow up the tunnel. Who knew that Lu Yanli just happened to end up in this era?

After the two sides communicated, they both felt a chill down their spines.

It was as if some existence behind the scenes deliberately arranged for them to meet. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Sixty years… sixty years for a cycle… Lu Yanli thought of this sentence again.

What exactly did that thing want to do by sending him to this period with so much trouble?

He didn’t think what he had just seen was an illusion, but what he had touched just now didn’t seem like a fake.

“Little Lu, have you finished discussing?” Captain Yang heard their conversation gradually stop and waved to him from afar.

Lu Yanli turned his head and glanced at them.

Based on her description, Lu Yanli quickly thought of the luminous pearl he had seen in the museum.

“Next, I need to find at least one statue and destroy it. Have you seen it?” Lin Chu asked.

“Yes, but it disappeared.” After Lu Yanli described it, he said, “I don’t think that was an illusion, perhaps some conditions need to be met.”

“When did it go missing?” Lu Yanli suddenly asked.

Lin Chu was stunned, realized what he was asking, and replied, “It’s been eight years.”

Sure enough…

Sure enough, all the abnormalities were because of it, right?

Eight years ago, the normal world he was in began to produce strangeness, which quickly swept the world.

“Its function, or rather, what consequences will it bring?” Lu Yanli ignored the calls from the people behind him and walked forward.

Last time, “he” disappeared here, either “it” took him away, or there was a secret passage here that others couldn’t discover.

She thought of the mark on Lu Yanli’s body and was a little worried about his mental state.

“Summon?” That made sense too.

Ignoring the shouts from the people behind them, they cautiously walked to the end of the tomb.

The dark wall was painted with strange reliefs.

“Can you see it?” Lu Yanli asked.

“See what?”

“Reliefs, strange reliefs.”

Lin Chu carefully looked at it, but there was still only a flat wall. But since Lu Yanli said so, he must have seen something different.

Then, his hand penetrated the relief and touched something cold and hard.

With a force, his whole person continued to move forward. The surprised shouts of the others behind him seemed to be far away, separated by a layer, and he couldn’t hear them clearly, only the whistling wind in his ears was clearer.

Lin Chu followed suit, but her hand stayed on the surface of the relief, and her palm felt the touch of a flat wall.

“It seems, you are indeed special.”

She watched as Lu Yanli’s whole person passed through that layer of relief.

“Where’s Lu Yanli? Where’s Little Lu?!”

The others finally seemed to realize something was wrong, and Captain Yang took the lead and rushed forward to question her. They couldn’t believe that a living person had disappeared under everyone’s noses?

Lin Chu played dumb, “I don’t know, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

“What should we do? Should we look for him?” Daozi asked the captain.

Before they could argue to a conclusion, Lin Chu preemptively said, “You can go look for him, I’ll wait here, what if he reappears?”

Lu Yanli, who was being talked about by the crowd, had already arrived at a strange place.

He saw it again.

A statue stood in the hall, surrounded by emptiness, making the statue seem a little small. It was not as huge as he had just seen, almost covering the sky.

Turning around, behind him were all red-robed believers, bowing their heads and praying devoutly. Looking over, there was no end in sight, and the dense praying sounds intertwined into a vast torrent.

Lu Yanli saw a woman leading the group, her face was very familiar – Lan Zhiyu.

It was her!

Lan Zhiyu and others did not notice Lu Yanli, and walked past him on their own, and began to communicate.

“…found the ancient tomb, it really records two songs…can communicate with God…”

“Most people can’t learn…”

“I will definitely learn, when I sing this song, God will come following the music…”

He seemed to be watching a phantom of decades ago, when the devout Lan Zhiyu was praying to God.

Listening to the conversation, she hadn’t learned to sing that song yet.

Lu Yanli continued to move forward.

Behind the statue, there was also a relief. He wanted to try if he could continue to reach the next time and space.

Soon, he stood in front of the relief. Without much hesitation, he reached out.

His palm fell into the seemingly solid relief again. He didn’t notice any danger, and then, his whole person walked in.

The scene before him was…

*

Inside the Spiritual Medium Town.

“Looking for missing people? Kill Lu Yanli?” Zhuang Ci was very strange about their inexplicable mission, and couldn’t help but ask her companions, “What exactly is the mission? Why must you complete it?”

“The mission is…” Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly exploded completely in front of Zhuang Ci, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

There were many outsiders entering the Spiritual Medium Town who also belonged to the research institute. Zhuang Ci finally awakened the memory of one of them, but just as she was about to ask, the other party suddenly died violently. This filled Zhuang Ci’s heart with a strong sense of unease.

She felt that she seemed to have missed a lot.

Chu Xian… she softly recited this name.

After recovering her memory, she suspected that those stories were true. Chu Xian had obviously discovered something through some means.

It was a pity that she was dead now, and there was no way to ask her clearly. Her younger brother, Chu Xiu, didn’t know where he had gone, perhaps… not in this world?

“Let’s look again. What secrets does the Spiritual Medium Town have? Those local residents don’t need to be bound by the mission, they are mainly looking for outsiders.” Zhuang Ci gave the order.

Could these missions be the work of “it” again? Placing curses on them, and then sending this group of people into the other world.

“It shouldn’t be…” Zhuang Ci muttered.

It cannot create worlds out of thin air. It must use a certain world as a base and find an “anchor” to use as its core, so that the worlds can be connected. Otherwise, it will be like a real world of bubbles, swallowing each other.

Zhuang Ci simply couldn’t predict it.

The world outside the Spiritual Medium Town –

Just now, the boss fired him because of his low work efficiency. Xu Xihe spent a morning packing his things, and in the afternoon, he was swept out the door. Walking on the road, seeing the glamorous appearance of the people around him, Xu Xihe couldn’t help but feel more sad.

He didn’t notice what was reflected in the window when he walked past the street.

It was a red shadow, following behind him.

He was unemployed and needed to get together with a friend.

Of course, at this moment, in his memory, he was just a programmer, earning a few thousand dollars a month and working overtime, even on holidays.

He didn’t know that his memory was completely wrong.

The company was fake, the parents who sent him umbrellas and took care of his colds in his impression were fake, and the friends he called were fake.

As long as he was willing, this warmth belonging to normal people could accompany him for a short time.

He looked back and saw a crowd of people watching the excitement, and the police cars and ambulances had all arrived. He shook his head and walked away.

After a while, the door was finally knocked, and at the same time, the phone pushed out a piece of news.

“A major traffic accident occurred at XX intersection, and the drivers of all three vehicles died on the spot…”

“Coming, coming.” Xu Xihe casually stuffed his phone away and walked to the door.

He was taken aback the moment he opened the door.

When his good friend asked, Xu Xihe suddenly remembered that he had promised to take pictures of his hometown scenery for him to see, and quickly took out his phone.

Before he could open the album, a notification was pushed out, announcing the names of the dead.

Xu Xihe saw his friend’s name on it.

And now, he was sitting in front of him.

Who… was he?
