Chapter 404 Crazy Old Man

"Are you talking about Leonard's house? Is he a ghoul?"

Lin Qi asked this, but the old madman smiled and said nothing, which made his heart completely cold.

Obviously, the little ghoul the old madman was referring to was Dr. Swain.

So...this woman who has traveled halfway around the world is actually a ghoul? No wonder she refused invitations from all parties to come back here. It seems that she is a member of the nearby tribe.

But that's not right. Historically, she was also killed by the ghoul invasion, and she was the one who advocated sending people for help.

Lin Qi felt lightning and thunder in his heart, but on the surface he looked as normal and said calmly: "You said she is a ghoul, do you have any basis for it?"

"No, I just knew it and told you casually. What basis do you need?"

"Huh? You didn't stay here just to investigate her?"

"Her? It can be considered one of the reasons." The old madman did not hide any thoughts and answered straightforwardly, "She is a disciple of the old secret mage Leonardo. When she was traveling in Middle-earth, she once came into contact with someone. This book. I am interested in this book. To be precise, my master wants to get this book."

"The Lord of Billions of Glory?"

"Well, it's actually Avgomon, but you can also understand it as Yog-Sothoth. Anyway, it makes no difference to you. Just treat them as one. There is no need to go into detail."

Lynch probably understood. He was probably similar to the Milt brothers and sisters. They believed in another incarnation of Yog-Sothoth, but... "What book?"

"Necronomicon."

"What the hell?" As soon as he heard the name, he thought it was not a good thing. Lynch guessed it was some kind of mysterious document.

"The experience written by a madman records a lot of what he understands about the nature of the world." The old madman's eyes flashed with crazy light, "It is the most mysterious book in the world. Many of the contents in it are close to the truth and are not true at all. Mortals can read it.”

"Don't the Lords of Billions of Glory claim to be omniscient?" Lin Qi asked doubtfully, "Why does he also want to read this book?"

"???" The old madman looked confused, "I never said the master wanted to see it, I just said the master wanted to find it."

"Uh, okay, I preconceived it." Lynch sighed, "So Dr. Swain knows the whereabouts of this book?"

"Both she and Leonardo have read it. She only read a few pages and learned some unknown secrets. Leonardo read it all."

"Huh? Doesn't it mean that it can't be read by mortals?"

"So Leonardo died, died on the journey." The old madman showed an envious expression, "This is the price of reading, but I think he must be very satisfied."

No wonder he felt that Dr. Swain's secret method was also very powerful, and the name was a bit strange. Lynch nodded and continued to ask: "So you got the whereabouts of the book from Ms. Swain?"

"No, I definitely won't get it." The old madman shook his disheveled hair and said nonchalantly, "But the master will get it in the future, so there is no need for me to worry now."

"Then why are you here now after returning it? Don't you need to find books?" Officer Natalie couldn't help but ask, "You shout every day, you should know how dangerous this place is."

"I didn't say you don't need me, it's just that I definitely won't get it." The old madman said with a smile, "I stayed here to wait for you, otherwise who would find the Necronomicon."

Um?

The four of them looked at each other, their minds a little confused for a moment. It was Lynch who came up with the idea first through all kinds of imaginative experiences in his hometown.

"You're saying that Avgomon created the current situation just to get you to tell us and let us find books for him?"

"It's really good that you can understand." The old madman said happily, "So the master must let me this time, and once I know something, things will automatically change under the disturbance of information, and even There is no need to 'do' anything, as long as I know it, the change will happen."

"I... can vaguely guess it." Lynch said, suddenly looking stern, "Wait, this time you? So you know your current state?"

"I can't understand it, but it's not important, and I don't care." The old madman giggled, "I'm a madman anyway."

Several people looked at each other for a while, unable to figure out what expressions they should show. After hesitating for a while, Lin Qi confirmed: "So he just wants us to get the whereabouts of the book from Dr. Swain, and then return to our time and put it back." Find the book?"

Lynch was thinking as he talked. The more he thought about it, the more incredible it became, but he had to admit that it seemed feasible, as long as no one intervened in the past thousands of years.

"Yes, that's what it means."

"But why should we do this?" Lynch rubbed his hands, "Thinking about these things is full of dangers, why should I take risks?"

This time it was the old madman's turn to look confused, scratching his head and saying in confusion: "You...don't want to get the light of miracles from the omniscient and all-seeing ones Tavel, Art, and Umr in the Silver Gate. ?"

ha? Yes, they are actually one.

Lin Qi was stunned, so these things are connected?

What a shame.

"If you borrow something like that, you will never get it back, so it is reasonable to ask you to help find something. And I have arranged the process for you. This should be the most difficult. For this reason, the master had to let me come to this city thousands of years ago. And if you want to enter the Silver Gate, you will definitely be overwhelmed by the hounds without the help of the Yis people. Now you don't have to worry about it. Find them and they will definitely help you."

It is completely impossible to refute. In fact, since realizing that these are all serial dramas, Lynch knows that he must agree to this deal, but he still has to ask: "But there is no time. We don't know when we may use the light of miracles."

"The master has explained that the whereabouts of the Book of the Dead is the deposit. It is the same to look for it after the goods are used up. It is impossible for you to go now. In addition, if you can learn something from it after finding it, it will be your gain. The master will not care."

"Okay, we agree." The four of them discussed it for a while and decided to accept this deal , "But you have to answer some questions for us. What is the current situation here? Why would the fixed plot change? Was it created by Avergomon?"

"Even the master cannot create history. This should be said to be... another trajectory?"

"Another timeline or parallel world?"

"Yes, it will still happen under certain circumstances, but it doesn't happen in your cognition at this time, probably." The old madman said distressedly, "If you want to understand it, I guess you will go crazy several times. Do you really want to know?"

"Well, we don't want to at all." Lynch shook his head vigorously, "So, what happened in the city? Who is causing trouble? What about Dr. Swen, and what about the ghouls?"

"I'm sorry, I know, but I can't say it. Once you know some information, the direction of everything will change again. So everything depends on you to figure it out. I can only say that from a certain perspective, the little ghoul is not a bad guy."
