Chapter 404 Drinking more hot water can cure all diseases

Lying flat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the ceiling, crossing his legs, humming the subconscious tone in his mouth, he is not in a meaningless daze, but thinking about the next plan.

What the old priest said in the dream made Zhu Jue suddenly realize that he seemed to be facing a choice.

A choice that is hard to avoid.

As the old priest said:

I am only in charge of telling these news, if you want to listen and do it, it is up to you!
The implication is actually very clear, Zhu Jue can ignore what he said, as if nothing happened, and continue to do what should be done, anyway, the consciousness of the old priest should be completely cleared after conveying these words. It dissipated, and Lobelin was completely unaware of it.

On the other hand, if Zhu Jue chooses to accept the information and go to the stone monastery in the eastern desert, he will undoubtedly involve himself in this imminent or ongoing catastrophe.

Because it was foreseeable that the things that the old priest hid under the bed might have some purpose, and Zhu Jue accepted his request at the same time as he accepted them.

That is to find the gods in the dreamland and tell them what you know.

Why don't you go get the things first, and then come back without caring about anything?
This may be a good way to evade responsibility, but Zhu Jue doesn't believe that the old priest who can still retain his will and easily control another person's subconscious after a few years of death will leave nothing behind .

Either don't touch anything, or accept everything good and bad!

However, this is not a matter of two strangers meeting each other on the road and asking each other "Have you eaten?" The Great Elder Atal in the Temple of Uzza has clearly stated the possible consequences of finding these gods.

Being thrown hundreds of meters into the air by some force and being torn to shreds is not just a horror story to scare people.

If you take this path, you will face unpredictable dangers, there is no doubt about it.

Zhu Jue doesn't like troublesome things, it's always been like this. Normally, he might pretend that he doesn't know anything, and forget about these things after a night of sleep, but this time the things in front of him are very troublesome, but It was hard for him to give up.

Because he has a strange intuition, which is the same as the sea and crabs that appeared in the dream two days ago.

Originally, it was just some mental throbbing, but as long as Zhu Jue thought about it deeply, he would involuntarily think that he had to do this thing, as if he would regret it very much if he missed it.

This kind of thinking goes against his original intention, but the last crab lord incident has proved it once, it is best not to ignore this feeling!
The self-contradiction makes Zhu Jue feel bored, this kind of state is not often seen in him, which means that once it appears, it will be a real trouble, and it will make the already tired and disordered spirit even more uncomfortable. Root incense is difficult to relieve.

go out for a walk?

"Fengling, I'm going out for a walk or two, you take care of the house."

Following his own wishes, Zhu Jue said to Feng Ling, who was scurrying around in the room, killing its imaginary prey, and only stopped when he heard Zhu Jue's words, calling out to show he understood.

Zhu Jue didn't plan to run too far. The residential building he was in was a community in itself, so he just strolled along the corridor.

Speaking of which, since I moved here, Zhu Jue hasn’t been to other floors. At most, I just glanced at it when I took the elevator. Speed, buy a bottle of happy water in the vending machine, put your hands behind your back like a little old man who digests food after a meal.

Passing by the gymnasium on the same floor, three or five people were playing basketball with the robot. The latter could keep up with the movements and speed of humans. Occasionally, they could make two cheering or annoyed movements, but they were a little stiff. Out is programmed.

Stop in front of the internal children's playground on the 15th floor. There are more than a dozen children playing around accompanied by their own adults. There are no smart devices, only play facilities made of sponge or other soft materials.

Walking into the cinema on the 20th floor, there is no difference between 2D and 3D. There are only VR panoramas or the latest memory connection mode of the protagonist. Parents and children, young lovers, young friends, chatting and laughing waiting for their own show to start .

Zhu Jue just stayed aside quietly, and the dilapidated scenes he saw in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong area during the day flashed in his mind one by one, comparing them with the scenes in front of him.

The gap is reflected in all aspects.

This is just the situation in the "inferior people's settlement" in the eyes of those in the city center!
Is life like this?

There were still contradictions in the previous choices, but new doubts arose in Zhu Jue's mind.

Why do so many poor people believe in the reappearance of the beautiful world after the disaster that some cults say?
It's not because this world makes them at a loss, where is an abyss for them!

Is such a world deformed?
Can the threat to the world of the spiritual pollution source monsters be regarded as a chance to do it all over again?
The confusion of thinking caused Zhu Jue's will to start to agitate in a strange state.

The experience of this period of time made his own powerful will suffer one after another. The black octavo text, the Lord of the Crab, and the yellow silk mask. The indescribable things that Zhu Jue faced became more and more terrifying.

Zhu Jue relied on his own strong will to suppress them again and again, but now when he starts to dislike something, especially self-doubt, those terrors suppressed by him seem to have found an outlet , trying to counterattack forcefully!
There was a sound of "huhu~" in the wind, and the surrounding air became a little sticky. Ice crystals fell from Zhu Jue's body, and it was no longer pure white, and traces of disgusting black mist were rendering it.

"Big Brother~ Do you want to buy flowers?"

At some point, a plainly dressed little girl walked up to Zhu Jue and asked timidly.

She held a flower that didn't look very good, it was a wild yellow flower at first glance, but it looked a little delicate under the colorful cloth strips.

"Are you jealous of them, honestly!"

Zhu Jue turned his head and pointed at the laughing crowd in front of him, a dark mist rose from his eyes on the right side.

"Hey, jealous? It's just a little envious."

The little girl looked at the strange "uncle" in front of her, and replied with some fear.

"If you destroy the world and make you like them, do it all over again, would you like it?"

There was a bloody smile on the corner of his mouth, and the black mist in his eyes became more intense.

"No."

The little girl's answer was decisive.

"why?"

Zhu Jue's movements stagnated, and he asked in surprise.

"Because my mother just cooked pork rib soup for me to drink today, but my dad finally bought it. If you don't buy flowers, I will leave. Big brother, you think about so many weird things all day long." Drink hot water, my dad said it will cure all diseases!"

The little girl put the flowers back into the flower basket in her hand, and bounced away. It could be seen that she was in a very good mood, perhaps because she gave a mature advice to a strange "uncle".

Drink plenty of hot water, cure all diseases!
That's right, the prerequisite for destroying the world to bring about a beautiful world is to destroy the beautiful world in the hearts of these people now!

How can that be right?

This world is still very cute.

It won't hurt you to do something for it yourself, if you really encounter something horrible, the worst thing is to drink more hot water.

"Hey, drink more hot water. Hahaha~"

The black mist faded away, and the refreshed Zhu Jue laughed and stood up, trotting to catch up with the girl,

"Why don't you sell all your flowers to me, and get a [-]% discount. Can't you do it? Why don't you give me a [-]% discount? You're going too far. Give me a [-]% discount. If you don't sell me, I won't take it!"

Zhu Jue, who was carrying a small flower basket and humming, returned to her room, put the flowers in a glass bottle and lay back on the sofa contentedly.

"There are a lot of things to do next."

Zhu Jue put his hands behind his head and whispered to himself.

The Stone Monastery in the eastern desert of the Dreamland must be visited, and Lobelin must lead the way, but before that, it is very important to visit the Great Elder Atal in the temple of Ultha Town.

Although that guy is not very reliable, but Zhu Jue did not forget that he once told the story that he and his friends pursued the gods together. The former succeeded just one step away, while the latter was killed by some mysterious force after succeeding. .

Regardless of the outcome, there is no doubt that they all know some important information in this regard.

Since gods were mentioned in the first message given by the old priest, it would not be wrong to ask the Great Elder Atal, and maybe you could get some additional useful information.

"Hu~~"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that the world in that different space seemed to hide a lot of secrets.

In fact, some clues can be seen from the existence behind the crab master's ring and the yellow silk mask. Compared with the mess in the real world, the situation in the dreamland may be deeper?
The space door should be accessible now, but what Zhu Jue wanted was to wait for Lisanna to arrive in Usha before going there, and settle everything at once, so as not to waste time running back and forth.

"There are almost two days left, what should I do?"

Turning sideways, propping his chin with his left hand, his eyes drifted around the room following Feng Ling's figure.

This time is really embarrassing. The Yimeng has been busy investigating the serial murder case for the past two days. Zhu Jue is somewhat interested in the monster of spiritual pollution that appeared before and after the man's coma, but he can't get involved in this aspect. No one without an electronic brain is capable of such work as news aggregation and analysis.

As for the lotus leaf and the phoenix tree, the city they are in is still some distance away from Shuguang City, not to mention the time it takes, I only mentioned that I am very busy this afternoon, and I will ask someone to take me out to play tomorrow at night.

Didn't the face be slapped?
Hey~
There was a message flashing on "TALK", Zhu Jue turned around and held the phone in his hand, and glanced at the sender: Olivia.

Click on the content of the message, the top is a video, the still picture is a cloud of khaki smoke, and the bottom is a series of intermittent voice messages.

"Zhujue, there is a giant spiritual pollution source monster in the ruins!"

"We are trapped, the evacuation route is about to collapse, the signal will be blocked, we are running out of time!"

"There is very important information in the ruins, if you want to know, then rescue us before the Archaeological Association comes in!"

I could barely hear the general content of the words from the noisy background. The first two sentences were describing the situation, and the last sentence was undoubtedly attracting Zhu Jue to the past. Olivia also understood Zhu Jue. Interested, so a special mention.

I have to say, this method works really well.

Putting his hands upside down on the sofa, he jumped up, and the wind chimes scurrying beside him stepped on the low table and jumped into Zhu Jue's arms.

The scavenger hooked the windbreaker hanging on the sofa on the other side and put it on for Zhu Jue. The latter stretched his hands left and right as he walked towards the door, put the windbreaker on completely, and raised his hand to open the door.

It was pitch black outside the corridor.

"It's really dozing off, and someone will give you a pillow. Sleep with your MB, go out and have fun!"

He closed the door with his backhand, and strode towards the docking point of the empty boat.
