Chapter 121 Scarlet Memories

At first glance, it was difficult to describe what it was. In Lynch's understanding, it was just a mass of indescribable matter. After staring at it for a few seconds, his brain gradually understood the meaning of this mass of matter.

As he understood it, the mass of matter gradually changed before his eyes, shaping into a small statue.

A petite female figure holds the red moon up into the air with her right hand. Her long, smooth hair is spread behind her back. Her appearance cannot be seen clearly. It seems that there is only a ball of moonlight in the position of her appearance.

The crimson moonlight shone on Lin Qi's face, soft and warm, as if he had returned to the most peaceful place.

The feeling is too familiar and unforgettable.

Lin Qi soaked in the warm moonlight, and a series of long-dusted memories emerged in his mind.

At that time, it seemed that he had just ended his previous life and woke up inexplicably in that strange and filthy environment, with his spiritual body floating in the world filled with red mist.

Without any independent ability, waking consciousness is the most terrible torture. Loneliness, despair, pain, and fear are the same day after day, making Lynch roar desperately in his consciousness every moment, and he is ready to collapse at any time. On the edge, as if he would fall into eternal madness at any time.

Until a red moon rose in the sky, and a beam of crimson moonlight enveloped Lynch's soul.

It was obviously just the moon, but for some reason, Lin Qi had the illusion that someone was always with him. He was no longer desperate, no longer lonely, warm and safe.

Like intentional companionship, the moon never disappeared again, allowing Lin Qi to enjoy the immersion of moonlight every moment. His desperate soul gradually calmed down, and he spent countless thousands of years quietly floating in the red mist.

'Neighbor. ’

【I am here. 】

‘Will you always be here from now on? ’

Silent in consciousness.

‘Will you always be here from now on? ’

[Oh, I'll try my best. 】

‘Let’s do our best together? ’

【Um. 】

The corners of his mouth curled up, a kind of joy and happiness welling up spontaneously. Lin Qi himself didn't understand the reason, but he seemed to have an urge to hum in his heart.

Lin Qi coughed dryly to suppress the harassment in his mind, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand towards the statue.

Rider Rick's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets when he saw this action.

"You, you, you, you, are you going to directly touch the sacred memories?"

"ha?"

"Even if he is the Meteor God, he is still an ancient god. He bathes, meditates, prays..."

"Oh, my goddess doesn't mind. I asked just now and she ignored me. She must have no objection."

"How will the Meteor God respond to you? You fellow Soul Changers of the Meteor God are really..."

Knight Rick gritted his teeth as he watched. For the believers of the Church of the Lord God, Lynch's behavior of directly picking up the idol was still too exciting, and it was simply disrespectful to the gods. But the sacred memory already belonged to Lynch, and he could only watch this guy holding the statue in his hands and playing with it.

It feels very weird, and I can't even describe what kind of material it is.

The essence of the statue is actually the same as those strange objects. They are echoes of memories from illusory dreams, not real substances.

But those ordinary mysterious objects, after being condensed in this world, will appear in materials that the world can understand according to the rules of this world, just like the police officer’s steel sword in Viking’s Trial, or the fiery lady’s passion carried by Lynch. .

But the Holy Mystery is different. Its essence has far exceeded the scope that living beings can accept. Any successful understanding will be completely assimilated by the brilliance of the gods. Therefore, people can only perceive such incomprehensible materials and unpredictable changes. test image.

Weird, but true.

‘These are your memories? ’

【Um. 】

'Can I see it? ’

After a long silence in consciousness, the gentle voice whispered again:

[Stare at it. 】

Lin Qi's eyes were focused on the moonlight, and the next moment, his entire consciousness seemed to be pulled out of his body.

It was as if he was overlooking a vast world.

I don’t know how many years have passed, but I have watched the world gradually change from an empty and lonely barren land to a colorful one.

From swimming fish, insects, giant beasts, birds, to intelligent creatures that have opened up their spiritual intelligence, more and more creatures are walking in the world, making the wild land full of vitality.

Watch them being born, watch them grow, watch them be reborn, watch them die.

Watch them build magnificent cities, watch them offer thanks to heaven with their magnificent temples.

Lin Qi's heart was filled with joy, just like watching his own child grow up day by day. However, gradually, the direction of the world began to become strange.

The first thing that broke out was the ubiquitous plague, which gradually spread to the entire world, spreading fear into the hearts of every creature.

What followed was a brutal and brutal war that quickly spiraled out of control, turning majestic cities into ruins overnight.

The third thing that broke out was famine around the world. Years of wars that lasted for many years made people have no intention of farming, crops failed, and people died of hunger all over the land.

What finally greeted them was despair and death. The ground was littered with corpses, and people's hearts were filled with fear and madness.

It is this endless fear and madness that comes together to awaken another world, which is a community composed of the nightmares of all living things. It is a dreamland that did not originally exist.

The dreamland originally overlapped with the real world, and existed in opposite directions, but at this time, being called by the fear and despair of the real world, the dreamland became more and more real, gradually eroding the real world, and the dreamland was deeply The horror and weirdness everywhere, and with the erosion of the dreamland, gradually penetrate into the real world, leaving the current world, which is already on the verge of despair, no longer able to see any hope.

It broke our hearts.

Lin Qi watched everything going out of control, watched those creatures wailing and dying, watched each prosperous population disappear, and felt like his heart was twisting in a knife. I want to save them, I want to stop all this, this is him The strongest thoughts in my heart.

At the moment when he felt the sadness was uncontrollable, a hand suddenly tapped on his shoulder, bringing him to consciousness.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Detective, why are you suddenly stunned?"

It's Rick Knight.

"I……"

Only then did Lin Qi wake up and realize that he was still standing at the dock, staring at the memory of the red moon. Unknowingly, his face was already covered with tears, and deep in his consciousness, a faint sigh was heard. .

"It's nothing, my eyes got into the statue."

Lin Qi forced a smile and wiped the tears from his face, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

It turns out that this is the real situation at the end of the First Era. Those few cold records in the records, it turns out that every letter is filled with despair and death.

‘Oh, what I felt was how you felt at that time? ’

【You can understand it this way. 】

‘That is to say, it is somewhat related, but not completely? ’

【Um. 】

‘Then the question comes back to me, this all happened in the past, what about now? What is your purpose and what do you want me to do for you? ’

There was silence in my mind for a long time before a very familiar answer rang out.

[I will be by your side and witness every choice you make on your journey. 】

'Stop, stop, stop, I'm tired of hearing it, you... hiss...' Lin Qi suddenly had an idea, 'So your explanation is not an excuse? You are just telling me repeatedly that you are not going to forcefully ask me to do anything, and that you are willing to leave every choice to me to make my own decision. ’

After a long time: [...Hmm. 】

‘Very hard? ’

【Um. 】

'need help? ’

quietly.

‘Oh, I understand, since you don’t want to tell me your expectations, then I will continue to show you every choice I have, awkward neighbor. ’

After poking the statue's blurred face, Lynch looked up and saw Rick staring at his fingers with a twisted expression.

"It's nothing, it's just an accidental touch. I'm going to go home now and study this sacred memory. My goddess is too awkward..."

Lin Qi laughed dryly and hid the statue in his pocket. Just as he was about to explain something, he saw a large group of reporters carrying tattered equipment. They had also been rescued ashore and were surrounding them with gleaming eyes.

Too bad, I forgot that they still haven't been sent away. Can I take back my previous promise? It's so troublesome. Or I should just run away and leave it to Rick...

Snap, a hand was put on his shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Rick Knight's meaningful smile.

If you want to be beautiful, you can't run away.
