Chapter 818 Burning the Flames of the Past
While walking, among the three travelers, the leader felt more and more that something was wrong.
Although the other two of the three were here for the first time, he himself had been here several times.
Otherwise, with just the map, he wouldn't be able to get here at all.
Traveling is a very dangerous thing.
In places where no one lives, there is no fire to replenish, as long as the lantern is extinguished, what awaits them is death.
Therefore, every traveler, every traveler, will bring a lot of fuel and kindling.
In the process of traveling, what is relied on is not a map, but a memory of topographical signs.
Just like his map, it is full of all kinds of important terrain marking annotations.
This church, six or seven years ago, when he was a newcomer, Mr. Conker, who took him on a trip, took him here.
He can't say that he remembers it very clearly, but in his memory, the church is magnificent, compared with the one he stayed in for several months before.
And when he arrived at the destination, the moment he arrived at the church, he was even more stunned.
He looked at the charred church in front of him in some confusion.
This is, just experienced a fire?
The other two travelers couldn't help but glanced at the "young" young man beside them with suspicious and wary eyes.
The young man, or Yago, also frowned.
Burnt church?
Church after fire?
Yago's eyes quickly swept around.
He was not in the mood to answer the inquiries and doubts of the three of them.
Soon, his vision caught a fleeting shadow.
Is that shadow Shanna?
Yago, of course, immediately thought of Shanna, who was closely related to this church and who might have been a member of the Spiral Troupe.
The right hand grasped the handle of the lantern, and in the light revealed by the firelight dispelling the darkness, Yago moved towards the position where the shadow was.
Facing Yago's silent actions, the three travelers were somewhat puzzled while on guard.
"What happened to Hansen?"
"This church...is a bit strange."
"It's a fire."
"Didn't he say he was here to deliver something? There are still people living in this church?"
The traces of this fire do not seem to have been burned recently.
Recently?
Among the three travelers, when the leader heard these words, for some reason, something seemed to pop up in his mind.
However, he couldn't grasp this flash of inspiration.
In a sense of loss, in a strange trance, he said to the other two:
"Let's go take a look too."
"Mittel?" One person was a little puzzled.
"Are you not interested in what is left in this church?"
The leader of the three, a man called Mittel, said based on his own knowledge of the two, using the reason that most aroused their interest.
"certainly!"
"there must be!"
Almost simultaneously, the two responded.
And Mittel also beckoned to the two of them, and took out two spare lanterns from their backpacks, and the two of them took out the fuel bottle from their backpacks, poured them into the lanterns carefully, and took the lanterns, After Mittel lifted the lampshade, he borrowed kindling to light the lantern:
"No matter what that guy Hansen is going to do, we have to be careful, the old rules, come back here to meet if you find anything."
"If that guy Hansen" The other person who was relatively silent spoke out at this time, elongating half a sentence meaningfully.
Mittel shrugged, he understood the hidden meaning of the other party, just smiled casually:
"If he doesn't do anything special, it doesn't have to, but if he does, it's up to you."
Although they travel in various places, although they will work in various areas to earn travel expenses, but this does not mean that they are good stubble.
For the evaluation of himself and others, Mittel can only evaluate it as "it is not necessary and will not take the initiative to do something special".
As for what this "special thing" is, it depends.
But when the fuel is exhausted, when you meet other people, but the other party refuses to trade
But when they don't have enough travel money.
When they find something with "enough" value.
Acceptable as long as it fits the situation.
After all, there are no laws here.
law? What is the law?
A trace of doubt flashed in Mittel's mind, but he didn't think about it. After looking at each other, the three of them acted separately.
Walking into this castle-like church, Yago walked in this church familiarly relying on the memory of the church in his "dream".
The ground illuminated by the fire was full of ashes of various black gray and white powder residues.
Oh no, the black gray is maybe ash, but the white, probably is wall dust.
Step. Step.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent church, and Yago stepped on the road paved with ashes after a fire.
Soon, he found Shana's room.
That little room with no windows.
While being cautious, Yago glanced across the room, and immediately fell on the wall.
But unlike some of his dreams, there is no strange snake depicted as an infinity symbol on the wall of this now empty room.
This room, which was also paved with a lot of ashes, looked empty.
In this room, there is not even a bed, only a pile of charcoal remains on the left and right sides.
It looked like it was probably left by something like a box.
This room still looks like a warehouse.
The vague memory that remained when he "dreamed" to become a church member told him that this room, before Shanna lived in it, was a warehouse, a warehouse where sundries were piled up.
So
This is the time before old nun Hurley adopted Shanna?
From Atile's understanding of the dream world from the memories accumulated from his hundreds of deaths, Yago made a judgment.
Now, the time of the church he was in was before the old nun Hurley adopted Shanna.
But was this church ever burned down at that time?
No, according to the laws of this dream world, my cognition is not "real-time" and not accurate.
The church he knew hadn't been burned before that time, but after he knew it?
As I said before, the time in this dream world is staggered and looped.
The present can also influence the past.
In a way, the past can also be the future.
In other words, every point in time can be the future.
The past, present, and future can all be the future.
Originally the past wasn't burned, but sometime "after" the church was set on fire, which then affected the past—
The flame ignites the church in the past from "now" and "future", which is also in line with the law of this dream world.
Nonlinear messy time maps.
Here, "history", "past", "memory" are much less reliable.
What a nasty pattern.
