Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 280

(The copy these days is more difficult to write, and the update may be later, and it may be delayed until the afternoon)
The two of Adele went straight to the fourth floor through the stairs, and the phenomenon of suddenly returning to the second floor did not appear along the way. They stopped at the stairs and prepared to take a rest.

"Before moving on, I thought it necessary to double-check that officer's notes."

Adele suggested, "Although he was stared at by those things for too long and eventually went crazy, it is very likely that he left some information before going completely crazy."

The reason why Adele proposed this is that she has already noticed that the mystery of this world is abnormally declining. Even if John Joyce, who was originally just an ordinary person, was really driven crazy by the gaze of an indescribable existence, then the records he left would not be enough. It's impossible to drive a mid-sequence Extraordinary like Adele crazy, at most it can only make her feel a little uncomfortable.

It is obviously a very cost-effective deal to learn important information only by paying this level of price.And Qiao Qiao had no reason to refuse. After all, the latest version of the handbook they held in their hands was based on the information recorded by countless members of duty before they died.

The two sat down on the stairs and opened the notes left by John Joyce.

Unlike Qiao Qiao's handbook, it was just a notebook, and all the information on it was recorded by Joyce himself.On the title page of the note is a family photo, which is a full body photo, while the second page is a group photo of several soldiers.

"It seems that he died earlier than I thought. At that time, the general manual was not even summarized. The life and death of soldiers were all based on luck, and he should be the unlucky one among those who were sent to summarize the rules. That batch."

Qiao Qiao sighed and began to carefully read the information on the notes.

"1. A human is the same creature as in the photo, but it will not be four times taller than your rifle. There are only five fingers, and the fingers will only have three joints at most, and there are no nails longer than the fingers."

"2. Human tongues don't lick elbows, armpits, or buttocks."

"3. Teammates are precious, remember to watch the strobe lights."

"4. I don't have a gas mask, and I never will. Helmets are evil, visors are evil, goggles are evil, and my head cannot be covered."

"5. People don't always smile like they do in photos."

"6. You can't drink tap water. The water that can't be drunk is completely transparent. Bottled water is also not allowed. The water in the kettle is fine, so save it."

"It seems that he has really experienced a lot of cruel things..."

Qiao Qiao sighed, "By the time he decided to write this down, his consciousness was not so clear."

"Keep watching."

Adele patted Qiao Qiao on the shoulder and turned another page.

"7. Stay where there are buildings. Don't go into the dark. Shatter all glass."

At this point, he no longer cares about identifying typos, which shows that his mental state is already very bad...

Adele continued to look down, and saw more similar information. The further down, the more scattered the handwriting, the crazier the content, and the serial number lost its meaning in the end, and the numbers were randomly mixed with the words.

"31. Teammates are precious, and teammates can survive. Teammates cannot be eaten. I can survive. Someone will come to save us. We must be alive."

"32. Corpses are dangerous and evil. A child's corpse is deadly. Corpses don't move. Creatures move."

"48. I've never had a teammate."

"21. I will not leave here. Kill whoever makes me leave."

"2. Need morphine. Need light. Need pen. I don't have a name. I need a name."

"13. I am a human being in a photo. Hunger. I am a human being in a photo. Humans are precious."

"666, eyes."

At this point, the last words came to an abrupt end, and there were only chaotic and crazy lines behind, which made people feel disgusting at a glance.

After a long silence, Qiao Qiao seemed to be unable to stand the oppressive atmosphere, and said first, "Have you noticed? In Joyce's notes, he repeatedly emphasized that he is a human being, constantly defining himself."

"It's easy to understand."

Adele nodded, "Perhaps you firmly believe in atheism due to the needs of your work and the requirements of the code-in fact, this seems to be the status quo in your world, but gods do exist in our world."

"Although our world's technology is not as advanced as yours, there are gods with extraordinary power. Thousands of years ago, gods walked on the ground, leaving behind a lot of historical facts and legends. Therefore, the development of mysticism is quite mature."

Adele paused for a moment, seeing that Qiao Qiao was only surprised and didn't feel hostile, then she relaxed and continued to explain.

"In occultism, maintaining awareness of oneself is the first lesson in learning occultism. Practicing meditation and controlling dreams are all ways to maintain awareness. Occultism uses mysterious and supernatural means to realize wishes Learning, being aware of yourself helps you to know exactly what your desires are.”

"Those things that you regard as pollution actually have a two-way impact on you, and they are not as unreasonable as the pollution in our world. As long as you firmly understand yourself, you should not be polluted or reduce pollution. degree."

"You should have also noticed that there are many descriptions of humans in the manual, especially the last page, which has been instilling the concept of humans in you, so that the degree of pollution should be reduced. Perhaps judging from your previous atheistic worldview, it will It's hard to understand, but you just have to remember..."

Adele analyzed it based on her knowledge of occultism, and Qiao Qiao fell silent again after listening. Neither of them took the initiative to break the silence this time, and just sat there in the stairwell, with the red and blue police lights on their bodies flickering. Suddenly dark.

Qiao Qiao's silence was because she couldn't digest such a large amount of information for a while, and Adele's sudden silence was because she found that she seemed to have guessed something important.

She didn't tell Qiao Qiao that their world was likely to be the past of their own, and this disaster destroyed their technological inheritance, resulting in many technologies not being passed down to Adele's era.

However, in Adele's era, why did they have extraordinary abilities and extraordinary races?
As mentioned in the "Apocalypse of the Night" by the Church of Evernight, the Creator woke up from the chaos, broke the darkness, created the first ray of light, and then completely integrated himself into the universe and became everything.His body became the earth and the stars, one of his eyes became the sun and the other a red moon, and part of his blood rushed into the sea and rivers, nourishing and nurturing life.

And his lungs became an elf, his heart became a giant, his liver evolved into a treant, his head became a dragon, his kidneys evolved into a feathered snake, his hair became a phoenix, his ears became a wolf, and his mouth and teeth evolved into aliens.His remaining bodily fluids evolved into sea monsters, the essence of which was Naga.His stomach, large and small intestines evolved into evil spirits, demons and various unknown evil existences, and the god of knowledge and wisdom, the Lord of Storms, and the eternal blazing sun were born from his spirit.

In other words, before the initial awakening, the universe did not exist, there was an end, it was empty, and everything was destroyed, but after the initial awakening, there was a world and various races.

However, the history of this world told her that there was no beginning and no god in this world, and even existed before the first awakening.

Adele couldn't help but have an extremely blasphemous thought in her heart. She wanted to forget it, but this thought became more and more ingrained.

"Could it be that this world was not originally created, but our world?"

Thinking of this possibility, Adele found herself trembling uncontrollably, as if she had an acute fever.

In this era, the "First Creator" is an independent existence, not like Adele's world, which is contained in Extraordinary characteristics and the path of God, and the initial deep sleep led to the complete destruction of this world, and then the initial awakening, created Extraordinary world...?
For us, it may be a catastrophe that destroys the world. For Him, it is just a normal sleep and then wakes up, completing the change of the world...

Adele stared blankly at the security door that was shining with green light, and it took several minutes to react.

"Okay, it's almost time to rest."

Adele tried her best not to sound so weird, "It's time to go."

There is no need to think about the previous things. Anyway, you were born in a world with gods and spirits. You have experienced the experience of being used as a pawn by a big man. There is no difference between being manipulated by a saint and being manipulated by an ancient god. The latter is even more face-saving. a little……

Adele tried her best to comfort herself, but she clearly noticed that after learning about John Joyce's experience and reading his manual, something seemed different in her heart.

Although she couldn't tell what it was exactly, she knew that after she went out, she would have to see Miss Justice for a psychotherapy session to maintain her mentality.

Qiao Qiao gave her a complicated look, stood up, arranged her equipment, and pushed open the security door.

The scene on the fourth floor is quite different from the previous floors. Originally, this place was opened as the restaurant with the best view in the entire hotel. Now that all the personnel have been evacuated, this place is no longer as lively as before.

The two of Adele stepped into the wide hall, carefully avoided those overturned tables, chairs and benches, and walked to the spiral staircase on the other side of the hall, only from there could they reach the top floor.

Just before entering the hotel, Adele tested the building strength of this hotel, and learned that the protective measures here are not only reinforced concrete, but also some kind of mysterious force is interfering with this area, making the building itself The conclusion that it is difficult to be destroyed by brute force made Adele give up the idea of ​​directly using spider silk to pull herself up to the roof.

"Wendy, you just said that you are not from our world?"

Qiao Qiao suddenly asked Adele, "Then you want to find the 'Fountain of Youth' now, because you think there are clues hidden there?"

"Hmm...well." Adele hesitated for a moment, but nodded to confirm the other party's judgment.

Qiao Qiao thought for a while, and then said clearly:
"Then, are you looking for clues to return to your world, or clues to save this world?"

Adele's movements paused, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

You can't tell her directly that I am from the future, your world has sunk to the ground, and is wrapped in pollution in the depths of the Earth Sea. Even the remains of civilization have completely disappeared, right?
"Actually, I don't know what I'm looking for."

Adele sighed, "Originally, I was sent by my boss to find the Fountain of Youth, but because of the arrangement of the gods of our world, I was thrown here for no reason..."

"I don't even know how I was thrown in. Naturally, it is impossible to know what the clues are and how to get back. As for finding the Fountain of Immortality...doing something is better than doing nothing."

"Is that so... Then, good luck to you."

Qiao Qiao patted Adele on the shoulder and walked towards the spiral staircase. "Going up from here is the rooftop, and the water tower is right in the center of the rooftop, so you can see it directly when you go up."

Adele nodded, but did not continue to say anything.After all, from here on, the goals of the two have diverged, and what she will face next may involve high-sequence Extraordinary characteristics, and even she herself may not be able to escape unscathed. Ordinary people are somewhat unrealistic.

"So, where are you going next?"

Adele walked up the stairs for two steps, stopped suddenly, and asked Qiao Qiao at the bottom of the stairs: "The troops on duty are gone, and this hotel seems to have been reduced to a place with weird seals, have you heard about it?" What have you thought about doing in the future?"

"Me? I'm not going anywhere."

Qiao Qiao sat down on the steps, smiling quietly.

"Every 'abnormality' needs someone to guard it. This is the rule of the police on duty. At least, compared with other things, you are the kind that is easier to get along with."

"In order to restore the environment of the Fountain of Youth, the entire roof of the building is closed, and there is only one exit. I am just an ordinary person, and it is unlikely to find a more reliable shelter than here."

"...Well, since this is your choice." Adele nodded.Then she suddenly remembered something, fumbled in her pocket for a while, and took out a silver amulet.These were the last batch of sleeping charms she made at the time, and they kept stuffed in the inner pocket of her clothes.

Adele stuffed the talisman into Qiao Qiao's hand, and said to her, "When using it, pronounce the word 'Crimson'. It can make you... have a good dream."

"In a world like this, it's really a luxury."

Qiao Qiao took the amulet and put it in his pocket, "Thank you...but I don't have anything to give in return."

She scratched her hair in some distress, then became cruel, took out her own orange handbook in her pocket, brushed and wrote on the last page for a while, and then handed it to Adele.

"Give me Lucia's book... Anyway, only the last page is useful." Qiao Qiao said with some embarrassment, "This handbook contains some things I recorded during this time. If you can return to your world, I hope you can remember this."

"As bad as it is here, this is the only home for me."
