My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 6 Second Exploration

Heart of the Ocean?!
Yule only felt a buzzing in his head.

The other party actually knew that he had the Heart of the Ocean? !
His eyes instantly became sharp, he drew his gun, aimed at Lolita, and shouted:

"Tell me, who sent you?"

The Heart of the Ocean involves one's greatest secret, so one must be careful about such matters!
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Lolita simply tilted her head and said in a daze:

"Uncle, why are you reacting so strongly? I have one too. I found it when I was a little oyster."

After saying this, she lifted the necklace around her neck, revealing the diamond underneath that sparkled like a sapphire.

The diamond was crystal clear, reflecting Jules's face full of astonishment.

……

Jules leaned on the windowsill, his face full of melancholy.

Before his eyes, the night scene of London flashed before him.

Through the thick fog, he could vaguely see workers replacing the wicks of the street lights so that they would flicker like canary lights.

He just felt like he was in a dream - both in front of him and behind him.

Behind him was Lolita, who was curious about everything and asked questions from time to time.

He occasionally looked back at Lolita, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Even though Lolita explained it many times, he still couldn't imagine that the other party was actually a transformed oyster?

Are these the oysters that I used to pry open and sell to make a living?
He only felt a strong sense of absurdity and unreality - he even wondered if he hadn't woken up yet.

After a while, Jules suddenly asked:
"Are you sure you ever dreamed that I was hugging you on the deck of a ship facing the sunset?"

Lolita stopped playing and nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, and there is an obsession in my memory, which is to find you, Uncle Jules, so I came."

After listening to Lolita's description, Jules became even more confused.

According to Lolita's description, that was clearly the scene where she hugged Ruth in the fragment of the Sixth History.

It was different from the original plot in his memory, but it was exactly the same as his personal experience.

How could Lolita dream of this? This is totally unscientific!

Moreover, after he authenticated the string of ocean hearts on Lolita, it was 100% authentic!

There is only one Heart of the Ocean in a level of history, and the Heart of the Ocean in my hand was brought back from the Sixth History. Doesn't that mean that this Heart of the Ocean belongs to this history?

He felt that the more he tried to understand the logical relationship, the more confused his head became.

After thinking for a while, he decided to give up treatment:
"Forget it, just stay at my place for now. It's just one more mouth to feed."

Because the apartment was of quite good quality and had several rooms, it was not difficult to clear out a room for Lolita to live in alone.

What's more, compared to the risks that Lolita might bring, he is now more curious about the secrets of Lolita!

The fragments of the Sixth History do not seem to be completely independent, but can interfere with reality to a certain extent!

Although it seems absurd, it is the most likely conclusion he came to after careful consideration.

"It seems that there is one more reason to explore the fragments of the Sixth History..."

After dinner and settling Lolita down, Jules also lay down on the bed.

However, he did not fall asleep, but his mind was slightly moved.

[Sixth Historical Fragment: The Sinking of the Titanic]

[In order to complete the sacrificial ritual, the esotericists planned the sinking of the great ship, praying for the God of Hours to look upon it.]

[Current goal: Find the secret believers and stop them before the ship sinks]

[Reward: Ritual Card "Feast of Raging Waves"]

[Hidden element discovered: Heart of the Ocean, ??? (When enough hidden elements are discovered, the target may change)]

[Current Secret History Integration Degree: 20%]

【Role: Jack】

[Current number of losses: 1/5]

After seeing that the Sixth History Fragment might undergo irreversible unknown changes, Yuleben planned to observe and prepare for a while before considering whether to enter.

But what happened today made him feel that some things are better done as soon as possible.

First, the Suppression Bureau recruited him as a "temporary worker," and then he was likely to go on a mission, most likely facing deadly esoteric cultists. Then, the mysterious girl Lolita came to visit him, revealing a bunch of vague but shocking information.

Although no substantial threat occurred, he always felt that an invisible net was gradually tightening.

If he couldn't sharpen his teeth enough to tear the fishing net before then, he would have no choice but to surrender.

Yuleke still remembered what the anti-suppression bureau agent who interrogated him said:
"It depends on whether you are lucky."

Even an official agent of the National Security Bureau felt that his future was full of danger, and Jules was not willing to take the risk.

He got up quietly, made sure Lolita was fast asleep, locked his door, and got under the covers.

[Would you like to enter? Yes/No]

[Once you enter, your existence will disappear briefly in this history and return after a period of time]

Jules was about to confirm his entry, when suddenly, he thought of a point -

Can I bring my own things in?
He grabbed the pistol beside him and had an idea.

"Yes!"

……

The familiar cabin was dark and cramped.

Jules felt around his body and sighed helplessly.

It seems that things cannot be brought in, and the only person who can come in is yourself.

He quickly and skillfully handled all interpersonal interactions, but he was not in a hurry to find Ruth.

He silently moved through the lower-class cabin, observing everything around him with a detached perspective and indifference.

Beer foam blooms on the wooden floor, and the joyful dance music never stops.

The flames danced with joy, just like people dancing.

But Jules only felt mixed emotions.

They were all just puppets with predetermined destinies—perhaps he was too.

……

Jules first tried to interact with the sailors responsible for the operation of the ship in his current capacity, but their response was unusually cold.

Some even cursed directly:
"What are you doing wandering around here, you idiot from the lower cabin?"

He was not annoyed, but just left quietly.

The storage habits of guns, the sailors' shift changes - these were his gains.

He quickly identified several easy targets, such as the lookout sailor and the guards on duty at the door.

But he was in no hurry to act.

There are still a few days before the Titanic sinks. During this time, let's push forward Rose's progress.

……

Just like the original plot, Jules was smoking on the deck, waiting for Ruth to arrive.

After taking a puff of the cigarette, he couldn't get enough and quickly exhaled.

If it weren't for maintaining his image, he wouldn't want to smoke this thing.

Just as he was struggling with the cigarette in his hand, a clattering sound of footsteps came closer.

He raised his head slightly and saw the familiar Ruth.

However, what surprised him was that this time Ruth just stood on the edge of the railing and did not climb over the railing to commit suicide.

Seeing no movement for a long time, Yule hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to intervene:
"Miss, this is very dangerous. Be careful of the bumpy boat. It's easy to fall off."

Ruth turned her head, her face full of sad tears:

"Please don't stop me, I just want to find my own answer."

She wiped the tears from her face and suddenly became dazed.

In her eyes, this gentleman looked unfamiliar, but he inexplicably had a temperament that made her feel relaxed and warm.

It seems like I've seen it before...
