Chapter 396 You Are Here

She also took the initiative to invite four people to stay yesterday. Although the reason was reasonable, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious it became.

But at least now it seems that she is not an enemy, she just needs to be mentally prepared.

Lynch left a question mark in his mind and pointed at the crazy old man who was still spreading doomsday theories.

"What about this man? Is he also from the city? When did he start going crazy? Wasn't he driven crazy by the ghoul? How long have you been chanting about him?"

Different from when they mentioned the doctor, these people all had disgusting expressions: "I don't know where this crazy old man came from. He appeared two years ago."

Um?

Lynch raised an eyebrow: "Two years ago? Did he come with Dr. Swain?"

Not long ago, there are still some farmers who remember it.

Not together, but relatively close. Dr. Swain came back first, and about a month later, this madman also wandered into Norland.

There was almost no interaction between the two parties. The old madman usually just wandered around the drying yard and begged, and stayed in an empty house for the night. Several times everyone thought he was going to freeze to death, but he was still shivering the next day. Appears around the drying area.

This person has been crazy since he first came here, but he doesn't yell like he does now. He only occasionally says crazy things or looks at people and laughs. But every time he stares at someone who laughs, he will soon become unlucky. Therefore, everyone is afraid of him, but they dare not refuse his begging, lest he laugh at them next time.

The old man started talking about ghouls five days ago. At that time, the rumors of ghouls nearby had just spread. He seemed to be stimulated and started talking about everyone dying, which made the city more and more panic. Heavy, although no one took it seriously, but it was really annoying.

Five days ago?

Lin Qi repeatedly sorted out the information he already had, but he couldn't figure out the reason why the old man suddenly changed abnormally five days ago.

Things started to show up seven days ago, and the panic broke out three days ago. What time point is five days ago?

Those who believe in coincidences in mysterious events are seeking death. There must be causal connections between events. Discovering these connections and responding to them is the best weapon when facing mystery.

But Lynch racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, until his shirt collar was tugged again.

Lynch turned directly to look at Judy. Only this girl could play like this.

Sure enough, the big, dull eyes had become sharp at this time, and Judy asked softly: "What time are we sure we are coming in?"

Um?

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously: "I learned about this on June 27th. It was confirmed that I would start training on the 28th. On July 2nd... hiss, this is really a coincidence."

"hehe."

Judy laughed dryly, and her eyes immediately became blurry again, leaving only three people stunned.

How could it have anything to do with the time we determined to enter? This is the memory of a strange object.

But after excluding all irrelevant factors, the remaining one can only be believed no matter how incredible it is.

And if you think about it carefully, nothing is impossible.

The neighbor said at the time that the change in the plot was related to the entry of the four people. The entanglement and interference of cause and effect in the mysterious world does not only start from the actual behavior. Often the entanglement has already begun when the idea arises.

So, it wasn't Dr. Swain who caused the impact, but this crazy old man? Or is it that the crazy old man is not the cause, but just a concrete manifestation of interference?

Looking at the crazy old man talking incessantly, Lynch recalled the information obtained during the training.

As a landmark item, this old man was also mentioned in the records of the previous two tests. Although there is not much writing, the results of the two records are consistent on one point. He is one of the seven people who survived, and he is the only survivor with a clear identity.

This is a very special identity, no less special than the core character Dr. Swain. It is not impossible to say that he is a factor that affects the direction of the plot.

But why do things outside affect ancient memories? Isn’t that the established direction?

Miss Diana suddenly reached out and grabbed Lynch's wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Unless our arrival 'this time' is itself part of the established trend, the seeds of change 'this time' were already there when this memory was formed. It has been planted, and our decision only activated the seeds.”

"Thousands of years ago, the seeds of an event thousands of years later were planted? And then a decision made thousands of years later changed the direction of memories thousands of years ago?" Lynch gradually understood the original meaning of his neighbor's words. , it is indeed an incredible method that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. If you can't understand it and rely on her to explain it, you may annoy your neighbors to death. "What kind of damn ability can do this kind of thing?"

When he asked, he actually already had the answer. Officer Natalie on the other side reached out and knocked off the little hand that was holding his wrist, and said with a serious face: "I understand, time, just like the last time we two When we met the Milt brothers and sisters, we didn’t say anything yet, but she already knew everything. This is also the case. We haven’t come yet, but he has seen us coming in advance.”

"No, he saw the possibility of our arrival." Diana rubbed the back of her hands dissatisfied and said, "There is a difference between the two."

"So I don't know how many times strange objects have gone out of control and developed according to the predetermined trajectory. Only 'this time' we entered has activated the preset special reaction." Lynch quickly sorted out his thoughts, but his expression was still full of confusion. Shocked, "Huh, I should have thought of it earlier. He has never even concealed it. From the first time we saw him, he has been showing his specialness and his power of time in front of us, and I just Like a fool, he doesn’t understand at all.”

At this moment, a crow that could transform into human form appeared in his mind. The problem is that the crow is already a demigod, while the one in front of him is just an obviously human old man.

No, the two are not contradictory.

Lynch looked at Judy and the apostles in Rhine City.

Just because humans can't do it, doesn't mean that the evil god behind it can't do it.

He immediately realized that the endless colorful light he saw on the first night, and the thousands of sights hidden in the light, seemed to be staring at him unblinkingly.

Just like the symbol of countless eyes he had seen a few times before.

Besides those who peered into the river of time, who else could have seen the ending early?

Who else but the Great Old One can play with the concepts of past, present and future, gain insight into the present from the past, and reverse the future?

The supreme being who has insight into all timelines, knows all the mysteries of the world, and is known as the omniscient.

Lord of billions of lights.

Yog-Sothoth.

The question is, what is his purpose in suddenly performing this scene?

It doesn't sound like he has any malicious intent, but... hiss.

Lin Qi felt the hairs on his back stand up, because at the same time he was thinking about this, the crazy old man on the grain pile suddenly glanced this way.

A strange smile appeared on his dirty face.

It's like saying: "You are here, I found you."
