The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 56

"...that man, with a worried face and an unnatural expression, his previous self-confidence is gone, but he handed this letter to me with a sense of decadence. You have to ask me, what did he say? He said Now, in the next few days, he will leave the fellow train and return to his hometown, and he is determined not to ask about some things from now on."

Sophie recounted it to Gwen in a curious tone: the retelling she got from the front desk people.

Although it is a third-hand product, there shouldn't be too many problems in the future.

Gwen smoothed the pages, inserted the bookmark, and closed it gently.

He also took off a pair of glasses with enlarged fonts that had been 'inherited' from the old man's study, and put them aside.The text in Utopia is relatively small, so you need to wear glasses that can enlarge the font to read comfortably.

He put the letter in front of him and looked up at Sophie: "Thank you for your conveyance, Captain Sophie."

"You're welcome, if you have any other needs, just call me, even on the way of Yuanli, I can provide more or less experience."

She went to the desk outside.

Gwen exhaled slowly, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper inside.

The paper used is not specially used for writing letters, but a piece of ordinary paper mass-produced as office supplies.

When he saw this piece of paper, a bad premonition flashed in his heart.

Although he didn't spend much time with the man Jackal, he clearly knew how tough the Jackal was, or in other words, what a strong and tenacious man he was.This tenacity is also reflected in his meticulous attitude towards life.

The trembling strokes and chaotic descriptions on the paper made Gwen even more convinced.

The Jackal was in a situation of such terror that he could not even maintain the reserve and peace of a scholar.

The first sentence of the letter reads:

"Gwen, you are the ghost story itself."

This sentence alone made Gwen, who usually doesn't show any expression, raise his eyebrows, and quickly looked around, making sure that no one came to inquire about his secret, before looking down.

But regrettably, or perhaps horribly, what follows in the letter presents a weird, eerie rationality.

It became a 'greeting' letter.

What made it even more difficult to control the fear in my heart was: I had seen the jackal a few days ago, but the jackal wrote in the letter as if "two people who have a good relationship have not met for ten years" , what it describes is intimate and full of eerie feelings.

There is not much useful information in the letter.

Words such as "Do you still remember the play we went to see?" and "It's such a good show, even the actors are immersed in it and perform to their heart's content" frequently appear in the letters.

There is also the matter of caring about Gwen's pets.

But these nonexistent events are puzzling enough.

Gwen asked Sophie in the lounge, "What date is it today?"

And after Sophie reported the exact date.

Gwen made sure that something as outrageous as a time-space jump did not happen to him.There was no need to confirm it at first, but this world has source power, and it happened that he crossed over to a corpse.therefore:
Let's just pretend that anything can happen.

…………

"It has nothing to do with time, nothing to do with memory, so what does it have to do with?"

Gwen stroked her chest, feeling the doubt coming from the mechanical heart inside.

The only thing that is certain is that the jackal is asking for help, asking for help from a stranger who is not a stranger.

The friendship between the two did not reach this point.

Gwen suddenly had a hint of inspiration in his heart.

He stood up, walked to the newspaper shelf next to him, and pulled out the most popular "Village Man", "Utopia Quanjie Daily" and "March Interchange" from the top of the "Village Man".

Spreading the newspaper on the table, he used his extraordinary memory and reading ability to read all the titles on the cover and headline.

After reading all of them.

The frequency of the words mind flayer has increased by nearly 200%!

It seems that some invisible force is pushing the word forward, it seems that some invisible force is manipulating the outbreak of the event.Mind flayer events are ramping up at a terrifying rate, and at a rate that... many people don't seem to care.

Be ignored.

Why is the outbreak of strange talk incidents ignored?Why did the silver-masked man and one copycat come out after killing the silver-masked man?
Gwen suddenly realized this.

What's even more frightening is that he didn't even realize that it was a 'coincidence' and an 'accelerated story'.

But he has no answer.

There is no stable answer, but a faint glimpse of inspiration, like the ray of light that I saw when I opened the door and entered the hall of talent.Scratch your ears and scratch your cheeks, but you can't ask for it.But it is very clear to those who really walk in.

Gwen was not one to walk in.

But he knew someone had 'walked in'.

Jackal.

This excellent scholar, this excellent professor, walked into the core thinking hall of this ghost talk incident, and he glimpsed something that caused him to fall into a 'madness', but this symptom was not serious.

Gwen has the ability to perceive the other person's mood through contact.

Therefore, from the random and disorderly source power fluctuations on this letter, it can be noticed that the jackal is not 'madness', but 'fear'.It's like an ant suddenly found the kind of fear of boiling water falling from the sky. The emotion derived from the fear made him appear a little crazy on the outside, but he was still 'reasonable' in essence.

Just find the jackal and tell him with your fists:
"The Riddler may not necessarily die from fear and the horror of the unknown, but he will definitely die from Gwen's fist."

I believe that this way of boosting courage can help the jackal!
If Gwen is a medieval doctor, hey, let alone three axes, just one ax is enough!
【Violence】.

Gwen made a treatment plan for punching in her heart.

Just close the book and put the precious secret code into the pocket of the book.

And go back to the room to tidy up.

Utopia's envoys of source force often keep such pockets, and carry out the secret tomes that they don't know much about, and study them as they move.It seems that the silver-masked man has all his knowledge, notes, and secret tomes with him. Maybe he will also conduct research when he is seizing the mind.

Gwen put on the mask she got from the Silver Mask and walked out of the room.

I happened to meet the red dog and the manul who were chatting.

Red Dog has a small talent in Yuanli, which makes Tuman hope to teach her.

It is also quite rare.

A Verge actually wanted to teach Ron.

After Gwen walked over, he greeted the manul: "Are you busy now?"

"Hmph..." The rabbit squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at something bad.

And the red dog smiled enthusiastically: "Not busy, do you need our help?"

Gwen saw the mouth shape of the manul: "Don't take me with you...it's so troublesome."

He pretended not to understand, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I'm going to trouble you, can you take me somewhere?"

Red Dog's motorcycle skills are top notch.

Maul's motorcycle is top-notch.

Taken together, it would be a match made in heaven if the mantle could be kicked out and the red dog would keep driving.

It's roughly Gwen's pair of 'Maleman, can you climb the red dog driving? ''s expression gave the manul a sense of crisis.

The manul reluctantly agreed: "Although it's not the time when the Welgies come and go, but if you let me bring my sleeping pad, I'm still willing to help."
