My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 10 Lolita's Dream
[Current number of losses: 2/5]

[Return to the original history? Yes/No]

[If you choose no, the Sixth History Fragment will rotate again]

[Tip: Please note that as hidden elements are discovered, the Sixth History Fragments may undergo irreversible changes.]

Although he still failed to achieve his goal of destroying the ceremony, Jules was in a very good mood.

He has already figured out some of Ruth's mother and Carl's tricks. Next time, he will make sure they never come back!
What made him even more excited was that he thought this trip would end in regret, but he unexpectedly collected a hidden element!

Ruth's Notes

[Quality: First-class rare item]

[Effect: Can be used as a ritual base point for the first-level promotion ceremony of the synthesis sequence "Traveler"]

【Introduction: Records blood, corruption, sin, and the love they consist of. 】

Sequence "Traveler"...

Jules read the instructions softly, his eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.

The conditions for obtaining the [Feast of Raging Waves] were very harsh, not to mention that it was only a third-level promotion ceremony, and he couldn't use it directly at all.

And the first-level promotion ceremony is exactly what he needs at this moment!

He tried to summon Ruth's Notes, but failed.

"It seems that the only way to summon it is to return to reality?" He nodded thoughtfully and opened the synthesis route of this strange object.

The content of the ceremony then came into his sight.

【Footprint Ceremony】

[Effect: First-level ritual card, can be used to advance to the first level of the "Traveler" sequence]

Introduction: Sometimes history is as thin as paper, but those who tell it know it is also as heavy as a mountain. I will admire the traces of the past until I can catch up with them.

"Him?" Could it be referring to the deity that this sequence of roads leads to? Jules couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Judging from the description, this path seems to be very different from the previous "Feaster" sequence. Rather than that kind of primitive desire, it is more closely linked to the concept of "history".

If he had to choose between these two paths, he would prefer to be a "traveler".

However, in order to synthesize this promotion ritual, he needed two items that were a bit confusing to him——

Ancient coins and maps carrying "secret history".

Secret history? Does it mean history? What level of history is considered secret history? Does an ancient coin found on the side of the road count?
Jules thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and returned to reality.

Anyway, I am now backed by the organization, so I might as well find a chance to ask.

However, he was also cautious - before being promoted, he would definitely find out the situation at the Anti-Suppression Bureau to avoid arousing suspicion!
He didn't want any outsider to know anything about the Sixth History Fragments.

Except for Lolita, she is a little special, as if she is the product of the fragments of the Sixth History interfering with reality.

When he opened his eyes again, Yule rubbed his eyes and felt that the room in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Based on the previous time ratio, it should have been a whole night..."

He put on his clothes, but did not rush to get out of bed. Instead, he had an idea.

With a faint flash of purple light, a feather pen suddenly appeared in his hand.

"This... is Ruth's notebook? Why does it look like this?"

Jules looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out how to use it.

However, when he held the pen, he suddenly felt his heart tremble.

It was the same feeling he had when he saw Ruth die.

Some called it despair, some called it fear, but he felt that there was a word that might be more suitable for the feeling at that moment -

Love.

Jules was very sure that he was not in love with Ruth, but the trembling in his heart at that moment could not be faked.

"Could it be that it was because I finally felt a trace of true emotion at that moment that I was able to unlock the hidden element at the last moment?"

He played with the feather pen in his hand, feeling a little confused. He couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

Now that things have come to this, let's eat first and think about these things after dinner. Jules opened the door, and as he expected, the morning sun had just penetrated the window, casting a soft and warm light.

Feeling this rare warmth, his body gradually relaxed.

Next, he didn't plan to enter the Sixth History Fragment for the time being.

It is better to develop slowly until you gain enough power to kill the mystic.

The most important goal is to find a way to collect materials for the promotion ceremony and find out the attitude of the Defense and Suppression Bureau.

The sooner he gets promoted, the more he has to save his life.

Ordinary firearms have limited lethality against extraordinary people, which can be seen from Carl.

Oh, Carl...

Yule raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of a key point.

Many characters in the Sixth History Fragments have corresponding characters in reality, some are even identical.

Then, as the mastermind behind everything, Ruth's mother and fiancé Carl are most likely still alive!

"I see..." His eyes gradually brightened.

Now that we have a direction for investigation, things will be easy.

……

After finishing his thoughts on the future, Jules began to prepare breakfast.

Mrs. Boleyn was quite thoughtful. Although he said that there was no need to prepare lunch and dinner, she still forced some bread, bacon and sausages on him, saying that they would be his breakfast later.

Right now, it comes in handy.

After preparing breakfast, Lolita's door was still closed. Seeing this, he shook his head helplessly.

Forget it. I was also a sleepyhead when I was a kid. I’ll just wake her up and let her have breakfast before going back to sleep.

He walked to the door, knocked on it, and shouted:

"Get up and eat!"

There was no response, but faint sobbing was heard.

Is there something going on? Yule's eyes suddenly became serious. He didn't act rashly. Instead, he turned around, picked up his pistol, and carefully turned the doorknob.

Even if it is not very effective against extraordinary people, it is better than being unarmed.

When he pushed open the door, what appeared before him was Lolita, curled up in bed and crying.

Before Yule could even react, Lolita rushed over, hugged his legs, and sobbed:
"Uncle Jules, please don't die..."

Jules was a little confused - what was going on? Wasn't he alive and well?

After repeatedly confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he said gently:
"Lolita, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yeah!" Lolita nodded vigorously, tears all over her little face.

She was about to say something, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of the pistol in Jules's hand, and she stepped back tremblingly:
"No, don't kill me..."

Jules raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing something. He put his pistol away and comforted Lolita in a gentle voice:
"Don't worry, dreams are all fake, they are not real. Tell your uncle, what did you see?"

Lolita wiped her tears, and after a while, she finally calmed down and said softly:

"I dreamed that my uncle pointed a gun at me, and then I dreamed that my uncle was shot to death..."

Her narration was confusing and illogical, just like every fragmented dream.

But Jules extracted the most important point from all this——

The dreams described by Lolita seem to be what Ruth has experienced and seen in the fragments of the Sixth History.

What is her relationship with Ruth in the fragment?
He was looking at Lolita, but Lolita gradually became quiet.

Her delicate little face gradually lifted up, looked at Jules, and said seriously:

"There's something on the bottom of the sea."
