Red Moon Returns

It was another day without visitors, and the huge archaeological association was deserted. Only the lady at the counter was lying there sleeping as usual.

Um? good chance.

Lynch made a silent gesture to the two ladies, and then tiptoed inside.

However, as soon as he passed by the counter, a charge box stood in front of him. The counter lady was still lying on the table, but her arms were already stretched out in front of Lynch.

Heck, doesn’t the museum charge admission?

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

The front is deserted and the back is noisy. This is the consistent style of the Archaeological Association.

The last time I came here, there was only a prototype. After more than a month, the weird skeleton has been almost completed.

Lynch had seen the original form of this thing in the world of the Swollen Daughter. Her apostles were riding this thing when they chased Lynch. Later, they heard that this thing was called Bayaki, a mysterious alien creature born in a dreamland. It is often used as a mount or homing pigeon, and can even take the rider through dreams and the real world, but occasionally it will take the rider on an unknown journey with no return.

Professor Green is here with a few assistants to study the specific locations of several bones. This time, it seems that no strange objects have gone out of control, and no furbolg specimens suddenly resurrected in the basement. But when Lynch looked at the strange skeleton, he always felt that it Lively and ready to jump up and party at any time.

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

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

The old chairman was fiddling with a few pages of the manuscript. Lynch took a look and saw that it was the fragment of the Revelation of Glachi that he had handed over to the Archaeological Association. When he saw Lynch coming in, the chairman was very interested and invited Lynch to study the Book of Revelation together. .

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I can translate it for you."

Then I really thank you, you are quite a nice person. .

Knowing that he was teasing himself, Lynch couldn't help but roll his eyes, took a few steps back to protect Officer Natalie's back, and then explained his purpose.

Of course, he didn't mention the conspiracy of the League of Shadows. He just said that he had just come into contact with the students of the great warlock Leonardo in Rare Objects, and he became very interested in the catastrophe at the end of the first era.

"This is not knowledge that should be known to others." Chairman Ole stopped joking and turned serious, "It's best not to explore it, or 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, "Forbidden knowledge is dangerous, not because evil gods will come to you after hearing it, although it does have this effect. Taboo knowledge, but not much. The danger of most taboo knowledge is that it will change your view of things. You may not be crazy at the time, but once you don't adjust your mentality, you will be full of reason and say what the world thinks. If you are crazy, you will do something unreasonable or even horrific.”

“Is this the history of the catastrophe?”

"Well, some of them are. Once you hear the taboo parts and understand the hidden meanings, unless your psychological defense is very strong, you will lose your mind at least for a short time." The chairman sighed, "Everyone The understanding is different, so no one knows who will go crazy because of which content, so we try not to reveal that history, only use some vague descriptions, and even we try not to think about it based on what you think of us. Help, I don’t mind answering your questions, even if it is the highest level of forbidden knowledge, but I must let you know the consequences of doing so, then, Mr. Lynch Levy, are you sure you are still okay?”

"I...yes." Lin Qi felt a little guilty, but still gritted his teeth, "I learned from some channels about the catastrophe at the end of the First Age, plague, war, famine, death, and then the doomsday came. But I don't understand , why did the four disasters trigger destruction? Theoretically, there is no necessary connection between the two. I once suspected that the previous four disasters were just a revelation, but I recently encountered it. Some things I learned made me overturn this guess.”

Lynch did not lie. If he was correct about the purpose of the League of Shadows, then the four disasters were definitely not just revelations, because man-made revelations were meaningless and could not induce subsequent destruction, unless they were not revelations but reality. Inducements.

Chairman Ole hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I'm not sure how you will react after hearing this, but this is not strictly confidential content. It's not a big problem, but after listening to it, it's best not to overthink it. , otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.”

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 Divine Revelation. But that is wrong. In fact, it is likely that the four disasters triggered the final catastrophe."

Seeing the three people looking puzzled, the chairman explained:

"First of all, you have to find out what the dreamland is?"

I know this question, a police officer taught me it on the first day.

Lynch immediately replied: "The embodiment of fantasies and dreams common to all living beings symbolizes the nightmares and fears of all living beings."

"Yes, it seems that you didn't pay attention at all in class."

ha? Was this thing taught in class?

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

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

"If you can't stop it, the real world will be completely assimilated by the Dreamland."

Neighbor, is this the truth about your joint efforts to fight against the Dreamland? You have successfully prevented this tragedy.

Lin Qi thought to himself, and then he listened to Chairman Ole continue to explain:

"Due to the nature of the Fantasy Dreamland, people's fear is the best nutrient for the Fantasy Dreamland. The more people are afraid, the more fear there is, and the stronger the influence of the Fantasy Dreamland. The nightmares and fears of living beings are varied, but if you summarize them, most of them can be attributed to four types."

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

Seeing that the three people were 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 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."
