Chapter 244 Trap

This world is not right.

This is the source of the fear and confusion that Luke's family has been living in these days.

Rand, Friedman, Salt, Lorne, everyone knows that there is a vast world outside, but no one has ever left the city, and no one has ever seen the outside world.

More importantly, everyone thinks this is reasonable, and no one is interested in discussing this issue, including Luke's family a few days ago.

Until one day, Luke saw the woman.

A down-and-out business clerk, living the same life day after day, overwhelmed by daily chores and the courage of life, doesn't want to go home after get off work, and in the name of overtime, goes into the cheapest tavern, letting alcohol numb the brain while fantasizing about having an exciting and exciting adventure, even if it is just a dream in the end, it can add a touch of color to this boring life.

Maybe this is not the sadness of every middle-aged man, but at least this is the sadness of Mr. Luke Helmu, who sits in the same position every day, drinks the same bad wine, and complains to the same bartender about the same troubles.

Until he met the gorgeous girl with the black fan covering her face, and a choice was placed in front of him.

It was not a red or blue pill, nor did he have to follow the rabbit, but just a strange book.

Or he could return the book to the black fan girl and continue his muddle-headed and unchanging life, drowning his throat with trivialities every day and living a boring life.

Or he could open the book and let his life have some new ideas and changes.

It was so simple to choose one of the two.

Luke, who had always been timid and cowardly, had only dared to fantasize in his mind, but today, perhaps because of the anesthesia of alcohol, Luke drank three glasses of strong liquor in a row, and then opened the ancient book called "Goddess of the Black Fan".

That was the last bit of his remaining rationality that day, and then he was hit by the surging alcohol and completely lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he had returned home. What ancient book, what black fan girl, it was as if they had never existed. Even the bartender and other drinking buddies in the bar had no impression of them, and they all thought that Luke was drunk.

There was no change, and every day was still mediocre, everything seemed like a dream.

Until one day, a dream appeared.

It was not his, but his daughter Nora's. The little girl had the same dream for several days.

The little girl told Luke and his wife about it, but no one took it seriously. Life was already busy enough, so who would care about inexplicable dreams. If you have time to worry about such things, you might as well earn a few more crowns to buy Nora some old clothes. She has grown taller.

But a few days later, the same dream spread to the whole family.

The three people dreamed of a beautiful wilderness every night, with green grass and flowers everywhere.

It was a deserted wilderness in the suburbs, and the three people had camped there before.

So, the three people who were troubled by the dream decided to take time to go there again and try to find out what was there.

However, no one knew the answer to this question, because the three people went and came back, but they had no impression of what they did, saw or heard.

But from then on, the family's life gradually changed.

Things that I never doubted before began to become strange. Many cognitions of this world inexplicably appeared in my mind. Sometimes I dreamed of a world without red fog. The little girl Nora might even see strange monsters walking on the street at any time.

Fear made the two women afraid to go out, and Luke became more and more painful. He got drunk in the bar every night these days, talking about his experience, hoping to have a chance to see the black fan girl again, hoping to return to the ordinary but safe life of the family of three.

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Since the dice have been cast, no matter whether the result is good or bad, we can only accept it calmly."

Lin Qi had put down his pistol at this time and sat with the family of three. The three people had been tortured by the strange changes in the past few days and were almost collapsed. When they met Lin Qi who showed interest in their affairs, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and they honestly told their experiences again.

"Use my limited knowledge of the mysteries to understand this. An unidentified person gave you an ancient book that looked suspicious at first glance, and you read it without hesitation. After reading it, signs appeared, and you actually did it? Not only did you do it yourself, but you also took your whole family with you?"

The family of three nodded in unison.

You nodded your ass, and you think you are glorious, right? Can you use your brains? Even if I didn't experience any mysterious events before I traveled through time, I knew that this thing must be problematic. When a dog finds food on the side of the road, it knows to smell it before eating it. You don't even smell it, and just do it. You are not as smart as the dog on the side of the road.

Lin Qi was so angry that his head was big. The black fan girl in Luke's mouth indirectly threw the knowledge representing the origin of the world to Luke's family. This is definitely a malicious act, which is a disaster for anyone in the current world.

According to his description, the man was dressed exactly like the monster that Lin Qi had just encountered. They must be together, or even the same person. They even acted in the same way. They found the target's most urgent desire, and then threw out a malicious choice, letting the target fall into huge trouble, and they watched from the side, and even added fuel to the fire.

These guys did so many things, couldn't they just watch the fun, are there really such idle evil gods in the world?

[Hehe...]

"Forget it, it's over now." Lynch sighed, "So, the book is not in your hands now, and you don't remember anything in the book?"

"The book is gone. I only remember that the title is Black Fan Goddess. I don't remember anything else. I tried to recall it many times but failed."

"Then there is no way. I can only approach it from a more troublesome angle." Lynch frowned and thought for a while before saying, "The impact of the book awakened the memory deep in your soul, so you remembered the wilderness."

"No, Mr. Hunter, why didn't I dream about it? Nara hasn't read the book."

"The concept of home itself is a good carrier of mystery, and blood inherits the common ancestral memories. In addition, children's minds are thorough and easier to be infiltrated, so she was several days earlier than you two. In short, the ancient book opened up memories, and the act of going to the wilderness directly led to your subsequent encounters."

"What exactly did we encounter?" Luke asked distressedly.

"I think that place must contain a huge secret. You accidentally saw the origin of this world, which is exactly what I lack. I need these things to help me understand this world and find a way to go home. So I hope we can start working together now, and everyone can get what they need. I will try my best to figure out everything and help you restore your past life."

"What should we do?"

"You three get ready. I'll call a cab and we'll leave soon to go to your outing location. Your problems mainly occurred there. If you want to know what happened, going back to the place where it happened is the most effective way."

"Ah? But it's so late?"

Luke and Clara were stunned, but Nora was still confused and didn't know what happened. When she heard that they were going on an outing, she immediately cheered.

"Every minute could bring about changes, so we can't delay any longer. I even think it's a little late to go now."

"But Clara and Nora... do they really need to go?"

"You want them to stay and then run into the monsters chasing you?" Lynch sighed and explained helplessly, "Don't be naive. Now the three of you are one, and no one can escape. So hurry up, I don't have much time, and I have to solve it as quickly as possible, otherwise what if those black fans..."

"Don't you think it's too late now, outsider?"

Boom, the next moment, there was a loud noise outside the window, and the entire window, along with the windowsill, was blown away by the shock wave.
