Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 569 New and old grudges

The warm afternoon sun poured into the quiet study, and Keiji Yokomichi became one with the lost and recovered memory. The sun's rays felt comfortable and itchy on his body, and he was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

[Walking in the bustling city, the streets are lined with gorgeous and exquisite stone buildings. No one is worried about their livelihood, and no children are suffering from cold and hunger due to financial difficulties. Everyone has a happy face and greets each other.

At lunch time, everyone comes out of their homes and they chat about interesting things in life and share their little hobbies like close friends.

The cafeteria is a huge and spacious building with more than a dozen entrances and exits, so as to prevent the city residents from crowding in front of the main door...】

It would be more accurate to say that Clymene was reading the book to herself according to her inner emotions rather than telling the story to Henglu.

[Okay, that’s all for today. We’ll continue with the rest tomorrow.]

Only then did Henglu realize that the sunlight outside the window was no longer dazzling. The sun was setting in the west, and it was time for Clymene to go home.

The high-level priest put the pocket book into his schoolbag, flipped back a dozen pages of the "Code of Virtues of Consciousness", turned it upside down on the table, and then left the study.

And outside the wasteland of consciousness, from Millitang's perspective, in a very short period of time, Yokomichi Keiji's body began to expand rapidly, from a little man as tall as his forearm at the beginning to... now the size of Mr. Shani.

However, his painting style was still the same as at the beginning, relatively abstract. However, it was from those abstract round eye sockets that Millie Tang saw insubstantial transparent water droplets slowly rolling down.

Is that... tears?

[Atlas, um... today may be the last time we meet. I can't say for sure if it will be the last time, because I may come again tomorrow.]

Clymene walked in rashly into the dark study. She looked flustered, not at all as calm and relaxed as usual.

[It's really a mess outside now, you must not go out, if you have the ability to go out. ]

As she spoke, Clymene checked the magic circle under Henglu's feet.

[They asked me to come... to complete a forbidden spell. It's not a good spell. It's a spell that makes you fall into a deep sleep.

Because the other consciousness, which they think is the more successful one, is now... completely out of control.

We tried many methods, but none of them worked.

Having said this, Clymene's mood became even lower. She paced back and forth in the room sighing. Like every desperate person, facts had pushed her into a desperate situation, but she still held on to a fluke and did not want to give up.

【Don’t let the same mistake happen a second time. Don’t let it happen a second time.】

These words were not said by Clymene and Henglu. She was just muttering to herself, as if trying to convince herself. After a long while, Clymene finally made up her mind to stop pacing.

[Listen, I don't know if this forbidden spell would be uncomfortable or painful for you.]

Clymene poured all the potions and ingredients in her bag onto the ground, looking at a loss.

[But if it's really unbearable, just think about the stories and travel notes I told you...

Why did I trust those guys in the first place? This plan shouldn't have happened from the beginning. I really want to go back a few months ago and stop it myself! 】

As Clymene spoke, she broke down again. Henglu on the opposite side wanted to do something but was powerless.

This is just a memory from tens of thousands of years ago. What I saw was just an image from the past. I can't do anything, just like Clymene tens of thousands of years ago.

[Atlas, you did nothing wrong. Just remember one thing: you did nothing wrong. Everything is my responsibility.]

Clymene tried to calm herself down. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. But when she opened her eyes again, Henglu discovered that Clymene's eyes were still full of anger and unwillingness.

【Since you didn't do anything wrong! Why would those people punish you! ?
No, I can't do what they say again. I've been convinced by those damn bastards once before. This time I'm going to do it my own way.

Go to the fucking meeting room! Go to the fucking consensus of the high-level priests! 】

Clymene put most of the potion back into her bag.

[Tomorrow, I will come and let you go, but I probably can't leave. Although I said a lot of discouraging words, I am a high-level priest after all. I don't have the ability to leave, and I shouldn't leave.

It's great to have had a happy time with you, and those dry lunches are no longer so hard to swallow.

You will have a journey of your own later, a journey without the intervention of high-level priests. Go to sleep, because you will set off tomorrow. 】

Clymene sprinkled a jar of potion onto the magic circle.

Henglu remembered that from that point on, all the memories related to Clymene were sealed by her until today.

"Yokoji, Yokoji Keiji, are you okay?"

Seeing the little person in front of her trembling like a spasm, Millie Tang was a little scared and didn't know what was going on.

"I am both Yokomichi Keiji and Atlas. Atlas is my real name, and Yokomichi Keiji is my... Yonglu said there is something called a stage name, right? All famous actors have a stage name?"

Millie Tang understood what Henglu said, but she couldn't comprehend why the thing in front of her suddenly said this?
"Yes, I have a stage name, Ricky... Yonglu once tried to promote his stage name in the Investigation Department, which was Little Mushroom, but it didn't work."

Millie Tang answered honestly.

"Let's go, save Yonglu, and avenge that man."

Keiji Yokomichi thought of the scene of his last meeting with Clymene. In the temple, five high-ranking priests killed Clymene in front of him.

Clymene must have used up her last breath to release the magic circle that controlled her.

It’s time to put an end to all the grudges.

At the same time, in the wasteland of consciousness, Liu Yonglu felt that he was indeed lucky today. After soaking mushrooms with his ancestors for half an hour, he ran away and first met the little genius brother, and then saw Lin Bulang from afar.

This man was walking quickly across the wilderness with his head lowered.

What do you mean… At this time, you are still trying to pick up the wallet?

"Get wet! Get wet!"

Liu Yonglu shouted at the top of his lungs.

Lin Bulang stared around looking for someone. Liu Yonglu ran close to him and only saw his two companions when he got wet.

"Lin Quilt, have you found the crossroad?" Liu Yonglu asked.

"No, but I have made another discovery."

Lin Brown pointed to the ground and realized that under the surface of the wasteland, some oval-shaped creatures were swimming in a line in the shallow water. The creatures were very small, about the size of a fingernail, and their skin was bulging up and down, as if some organs were about to break out of the body.

They are completely black and look like a group of tadpoles at first glance.

"Ricky, Haverson, did you see those dark chaotic creatures on the road just now?

I was walking in the opposite direction from them, and found these things.”

After Lin Brown entered the wasteland of consciousness, he discovered a problem: his eyesight was too poor. If he relied on his own eyes to find Keiji Yokomichi, the efficiency would be too low.

But Lin Brown is experienced. Like Liu Yonglu, he has also seen those strange and bizarre chaotic creations.

Lin Brown gradually discovered a pattern: these pitch-black monsters all came from the same direction.

Richie once said that he left the fan in the wasteland of consciousness in order to escape, and the fan represented the original will of "the crawling of chaos".

Following these deformed creatures...will we be able to find the fan? ?
"Okay, let's get wet. Finding the fan is also a great achievement. Let's go and take a look in front!"

Seeing that the one-hour deadline was almost up, Liu Yonglu thought that even if he couldn't find the crossroads, retrieving his fan was also a way out. He would take the fan and challenge his ancestors later, and he might not have no chance of winning!
