But she just laughed twice and couldn't laugh anymore.

Because she saw a scene she had never seen in all these years.

The young man with a big-faced cat on his back actually squatted down in front of the old man.

"He's coming!"

"Who's coming?"

"Hey, didn't you feel it?"

"Sorry, I really didn't feel it. What did you feel?"

"It's him. He's coming soon."

"What will happen if he comes?"

"What will happen if he comes?"

The old man was stunned.

Then, the old man suddenly laughed.

His voice suddenly changed from low to sharp. The laughter was like crazy, harsh and noisy.

When the people around heard the sound, they frowned and looked over, casting unhappy eyes.

Even the guards not far away were startled. The two guards holding long guns looked at each other and then walked over.

Only Lu Lin's expression did not change. He just stared at him silently.

"Hehe, what will happen if he comes... What will happen if he comes... Jiji, hehe, hehe..."

The old man let go of Lu Lin's hand, hugged his head, and began to laugh wildly and incoherently.

However, Lu Lin did not leave, but continued to ask: "So, do you want him to come? Or are you afraid of him coming?"

When these words came out, the nearby residents who were watching the excitement were stunned.

Because the old man's strange laughter gradually stopped.

Then suddenly, the old man rushed forward, grabbed Lu Lin's collar with both hands, and yelled: "Afraid? How could I be afraid of him! Of course I want him to come?! I! I... You tell me! Why do I... Why do I... Why do I want him to come?! Ah ah ah!"

The old man grabbed Lu Lin's collar and yelled at Lu Lin like crazy. This sudden action scared the people around him, and the two guards pointed their spears directly at the old man.

What Lu Lin didn't expect was that Li Mi, who was supposed to sleep in the ox cart, also fell from the sky and landed directly beside him.

"Wait! Don't be nervous!" Lu Lin hurriedly shouted, "Li Mi, you too! Don't move!"

Li Mi was very obedient, and put down his fist when he saw it was about to be raised.

The two guards looked at each other, and then temporarily stepped back two steps.

After confirming that everyone around him was stabilized by himself, Lu Lin turned his head and looked at the old man again, looking directly into the other's turbid eyes, and slowly said: "Okay, okay... Listen, I'm not afraid of him, and I just felt that he is coming, he is coming soon, you say, when he comes, what will we do?"

"We will! We! We..." The old man's voice gradually became smaller, and the strength of holding Lu Lin's collar gradually became smaller.

Then, he let go of his hand and huddled up with his knees.

Then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, the old man's shoulders began to tremble slowly.

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwuwu... When he comes, what will happen to us when he comes... Wuwuwu..."

;

The hoarse and vague sobbing made the people around feel uncomfortable.

For a moment, the crowd looked at each other. They felt that there should be no big deal next, and there would be no excitement, so they all dispersed.

One of the guards came up to remind Lu Lin to pay attention to safety, and then left with his companions.

Only Lu Lin was left, frowning and guarding in front of the old man.

The old man cried for a while, and then fell down again, curled up like at the beginning.

"It's finally quiet..." The lady boss of the meat shop across the street muttered, "This young man is really capable. This is the first time I've seen someone torment this old man like this."

"I don't think this young man is tormenting him, but seems to want to help him," the shop owner beside him shook his head slightly, "It's a pity, the Holy Church can't do anything about it, what can this young man do?"

Who knew that just after the two finished talking, they saw Lu Lin took another step forward.

"You..." Lu Lin slowly spoke, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Were you also a hero who conquered the dungeon?"

The next moment, the old man turned his head suddenly.

The four eyes met, and the turbid old eyes seemed to be able to see things, staring at the direction of Lu Lin.

The next moment, the skinny old man suddenly jumped up from the ground, then kicked the wall, passed Lu Lin, and rushed directly to the alley opposite.

Lu Lin also reacted quickly, calling Li Mi and getting up to chase.

Coincidentally, Lan Jie was next to the ox cart at this time, guarding the ox cart whose roof had flown out for some reason, and was looking around for traces of Lu Lin and Li Mi. At this moment, he finally saw his boss, and hurriedly waved and shouted: "Hey! Boss! What are you doing! The earth dragon has been bought! Where are you going!"

Lu Lin didn't bother to explain to him, and shouted: "You go and load the car first! Then wait for us here! We'll be back soon!"

After that, Lu Lin and Li Mi followed the old man directly into the alley, leaving Lan Jie confused.

At this time, the shopping guide also came out of the store, looked at the ox cart next to Lan Jie, and asked: "Excuse me, are these the things you want to move?"

"Ah, yes," Lan Jie nodded, "Ah, and, I don't know who just flipped the ceiling over, it was just flipped over, it shouldn't affect the purchase price we agreed on, right?"

Lu Lin has actually been thinking about one thing.

There must be more than one hero like Li Mi who is responsible for conquering the dungeon.

There is a lot of dungeon-related information in the news, and I don't know how many people like Li Mi are reported in it.

Lu Lin doesn't know if they will have mental problems like Li Mi.

But...

Since the Holy Church has taken great pains to make itself have absolute authority to treat mental problems in the country, it is hard not to wonder what their purpose is in doing so.

Combined with Li Mi's situation, Lu Lin easily came up with a guess.

These heroes are likely to have similar mental problems.

Based on this guess, Lu Lin is thinking about another question.

Suppose Li Mi didn't escape back at the beginning, or was captured by the Holy Church because she didn't meet him, would she continue to be controlled by the Holy Church and continue to help the Holy Church conquer the major dungeons?

Lu Lin felt that there was a high probability that the answer was "yes".

Well, based on the above assumptions, Lu Lin finally came up with a question.

In this environment, if a hero is really controlled by the Holy Church for a lifetime, then if he is old...

Then, what will he look like?

When he first saw the old man, Lu Lin actually just thought he was an ordinary beggar.

Even when the old man grabbed his hand, Lu Lin just thought that this old beggar wanted to ask for more money.

But soon, he realized that something was wrong.

Although he couldn't tell what disease the old man had, it was obvious that he had mental problems.

But...

According to Lan Jie, wouldn't people with mental problems be sent to the Holy Church for "treatment"?

But why is he still here?

At that moment, the question that had been lingering in his mind before came out unconsciously.

"If a hero is really controlled by the Holy Church for a lifetime, what will he look like when he is old?"

So, Lu Lin tried to communicate with the old man for a while.

As a result, the communication process was as he expected, inexplicable and difficult to understand. He did not confirm the identity of the old man because of this, but he was not willing to let it go when he saw the old man shrinking back to his original position.

So Lu Lin asked that question.

"Were you also a hero who conquered the dungeon?"

Now, based on the old man's reaction, Lu Lin could make a judgment.

This old man was probably a hero like Li Mi.

And his symptoms were obviously different from Li Mi's. He was not PTSD, but more like he had emotional disorders, severe depression or split personality.;? From him, Lu Lin might have the opportunity to get more information about heroes and dungeons.

In the intricate alleys, Lu Lin and Li Mi turned countless corners.

Finally, at the end of an alley, they found the old man who had escaped.

The old man was squatting at the end of the alley, but he didn't look like he was desperate after walking into a dead end. Instead, he was in a leisurely posture, as if... he was waiting for them on purpose...

Chapter 67: The Forgotten Place in the World, Burying the Forgotten People in the World

The old walls were covered with moss, and there was no one to clean up the garbage and debris everywhere.

This old alley is part of the city, but it has been forgotten by the city for many years.

Lu Lin walked slowly forward and walked towards the old man;! .

Li Mi followed Lu Lin. Although her expression was still as empty as before, it was not difficult to see from the face that was always facing the old man that she was always on guard against the old man.

The old man didn't react, and just squatted quietly.

Lu Lin walked up to the old man and sat cross-legged about one meter away from the old man.

"Why..." Lu Lin said.

But as soon as he said three words, the old man raised his hand.

Lu Lin thought that meant that he should not speak first, so he stopped talking.

But who would have thought that the old man's hand would rise higher and higher, and finally rise straight above his head.

When Lu Lin was wondering what strange action the old man was doing again, the old man's hand suddenly fell and slapped the old man's face fiercely.

Snap!

The harsh sound echoed in the alley. The heavy hand and the fierce force made Lu Lin frightened.

The next moment, Lu Lin even saw blood flowing out of the old man's nostrils.

"You!"

Lu Lin just opened his mouth, but was interrupted again.

And this time, it was the old man's old and hoarse voice that interrupted him.

"Sorry, I'm old, and it's getting harder and harder to be sober..."

As the old man said, his pale eyes looked at Lu Lin. His eyes were still so turbid, but Lu Lin could still feel the other's gaze.

"You seem to know a lot about the relationship between dungeons and heroes, but you don't look like a member of the Holy Church. Tell me, who are you?"

"I..." Lu Lin hesitated for a moment, but decided not to mention his difficult-to-explain past, and said directly, "I am an alchemist, and I may have saved someone who had the same experience as you."

After Lu Lin finished speaking, the old man twisted his head unnaturally and asked, "Is it her?"

Although the old man did not look at Li Mi, it was obvious that he could only ask Li Mi.

"Well," Lu Lin responded, "her mental condition is also very bad. No offense, what I mean is that although her situation is different from yours, she is also very...'crazy'."

"Hehehe..." Hearing Lu Lin's flower, the old man laughed, "Haha, hehehe, jiji hahaha..."

The laughter became more and more exaggerated, and it seemed to be out of control again.

However, at this moment, the old man suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard again.

Lu Lin shuddered in shock, but the old man just moved his neck and waved his hand.

"Ahem... I said, it's getting harder and harder to stay awake when I'm old..." The old man slowly said, "But I really didn't expect that I could meet such a lucky companion in this life, haha, alchemist, great, kid, you are a brave guy..."

"Companion?" Lu Lin noticed this key word, "Old senior, do you mean the hero who conquered the dungeon? Can you tell me what's going on?"
