The red moon returns

Chapter 476 The Four Horsemen of Revelation

It was another day without visitors. The huge Archaeological Association was deserted, with only the lady at the counter lying there sleeping as usual.

Hmm? Good chance.

Lynch gestured to the two ladies to keep quiet, then tiptoed inside.

However, just as he passed the counter, a cashier box blocked his way. The lady at the counter was still lying on the table, but her arm was already stretched out in front of Lynch.

Hell, doesn’t the museum have to charge admission?

But looking at the empty cash box, Lynch still stuffed a shilling into it, and then walked calmly into the back hall of the Archaeological Association.

It was deserted in the front and bustling in the back, which was the usual style of the Archaeological Association.

The last time I came, it was just a rough outline. After more than a month, the strange skeleton has been almost put together.

Lynch had seen the real body of this thing in the world of the Swelling Daughter. Her apostles were riding on this thing when they were chasing Lynch. Later he heard that this thing was called Byaki, a mysterious alien creature born in the Dreamland. It was often used as a mount or a carrier pigeon, and could even carry the rider between the Dreamland and the real world, but occasionally it would take the rider on an unknown journey from which there would be no return.

Professor Green and several assistants were here to study the specific locations of several bones. This time, there seemed to be no strange objects out of control, and no bear monster specimens suddenly resurrected in the basement, but Lynch looked at the strange skeleton and always felt that it was eager to life and might jump up and party at any time.

Forget it, just pretend you didn’t see it.

So Lynch closed his eyes and, following Professor Green's instructions, found Chairman Ole in his office.

The old chairman was fiddling with a few pages of manuscript. Lynch took a look and found that they were the remaining pages of the Book of Revelation of Graaki that he had previously handed over to the Archaeological Association. Seeing Lynch come in, the chairman was very interested and repeatedly invited Lynch to study the Book of Revelation together.

"It's okay if you don't understand. I can translate it for you."

Thank you so much, you are such a nice person.

Even though he knew he was being teased, Lynch couldn't help but roll his eyes, taking a few steps back to protect Officer Natalie's back before explaining his intentions.

Of course, he did not mention the conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance. He just said that he had just come into contact with the students of the great warlock Leonardo in the strange objects and had developed a keen interest in the great disaster at the end of the First Age.

"This is not something that should be known to others." Chairman Ole stopped joking and turned serious. "It's best not to explore it, and don't even think about it."

"But I have something to do."

"..." The chairman was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Forbidden knowledge is dangerous, not because evil gods will come to find you after listening to it. Although there is indeed forbidden knowledge with such an effect, it is not much. The danger of most forbidden knowledge is that it will change your view of things. You may not be crazy at that time, but once you don't adjust your mindset, you will rationally say things that the world thinks are crazy, and do unreasonable or even very terrifying things. "

"Is this the history of the Great Disaster?" "Well, some of it is. Once you hear the taboo parts and understand the obscure meanings, unless your psychological defenses are very strong, you will at least lose your mind for a short period of time." The chairman sighed, "Everyone's cognition is different, so no one knows who will go crazy because of what content, so we try not to reveal that history, only use some vague descriptions, and even we ourselves try not to think about it as much as possible. With your help to us, I don't mind answering your questions, even if it is the highest level of taboo knowledge, but I must let you know the consequences of doing so. So, Mr. Lynch Leviev, are you sure you have something else to do?"

"I... have." Lin Qi felt a little uneasy, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I learned from some channels about the great disaster at the end of the First Era, plague, war, famine, death, and then the end of the world. But I don't understand why the destruction was triggered after the four disasters? Theoretically, there is no necessary connection between the two. I once suspected that the previous four disasters were just a revelation, a foreshadowing of the impending destruction. But some things I encountered recently made me overturn this speculation."

Lynch did not lie. If he had correctly judged the purpose of the Shadow Alliance, then the four disasters would definitely not be just revelations, because man-made revelations are meaningless and cannot trigger subsequent destruction, unless they are not revelations but real inducements.

Chairman Ole hesitated and thought for a while before saying, "I'm not sure how you will react after hearing this, but this is not strictly confidential, so it's not a big deal. But after hearing this, it's best not to make excessive associations, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

The three of them looked at each other, took a deep breath, and nodded seriously.

"It is true that many beginners regard the four disasters as revelations, and even named them the Four Horsemen of the Revelation. But that is wrong. In fact, it is very likely that the four disasters triggered the final catastrophe."

Seeing the three people looking puzzled, the chairman explained:
"First of all, you have to figure out what the Dreamland is."

I know the answer to this question. A police officer taught me on the first day.

Lynch immediately replied: "It is the embodiment of the common fantasies and dreams of all living beings, symbolizing the nightmares and fears of all living beings."

"Yes, it seems that you didn't completely ignore the class."

Huh? We talked about this in class?

"The Dream Realm is the collective consciousness of all living beings. It is the embodiment of their fears and nightmares. Conceptually, it is contrary to the real world, but it is constantly eroding the real world. However, the real world has the power of self-defense and can automatically resist the erosion of the Dream Realm. The two sides are in a tug-of-war, forming a weird coexistence."

"Hiss, what if I can't stop it?"

"If you can't stop the present world, you will be completely assimilated by the dream world."

Neighbor, is this the truth behind your alliance against the Dreamland? You succeeded in preventing this tragedy.

Lin Qi thought to himself, and then he listened to Chairman Ole continue to explain:
"Due to the nature of the Dreamland, people's fear is the best nutrient for the Dreamland. The more people are afraid, the more fear there is, and the stronger the influence of the Dreamland will be. The nightmares and fears of living beings are varied, but if we summarize them, most of them can be reduced to four types."

The chairman raised four fingers and said slowly: "Fear of disease, fear of disorder, fear of hunger, and the worst, fear of death."

Seeing the three of them looking a little stunned, Ole sighed:
"These four most fundamental fears just correspond to the so-called four divine revelations. Whenever a disaster breaks out, the corresponding fear of the living beings will be greatly deepened, and the nutrients obtained by the Fantasy Dreamland will be more sufficient. When the four disasters occur repeatedly, people's fear becomes stronger and stronger, and the power of the Fantasy Dreamland will be completely out of control. The defense mechanism of the present world can no longer resist, and then... bang."
