Your knowledge is too taboo

Chapter 147 Coming on the Moon (please subscribe)

Sitting on the hospital bed and unable to get up, Colin still held on and said to Zhongli: "Thank you, Mr. Zhong."

He did feel like he had something to say thanks to.

No matter what the purpose of the other party's coming here is, just the fact that the other party is willing to abide by the contract and rescue him is worthy of Colin's sincere thanks.

After experiencing so much, Colin now knows clearly: There may not be love without reason in this world, but there is definitely hate without reason.

In today's day and age, it's hard to trust humans. Anyone can trip you up just to see you fall to the ground crying and laugh about it.

Chaos, distortion, and madness are the curses that have haunted this land for hundreds and thousands of years. Even though the Qi family seemed quite friendly, didn't they die in the end?

So Colin felt he needed to be in awe of people who were willing to lend a helping hand.

Opposite him, Zhongli, played by Chen Qing, just said a faint "hmm".

He put his hands behind his back and looked calm, as if there was no disturbance in his heart.

But only Chen Qing himself knows what kind of opportunity this is for him now.

"This is even the best time."

Colin was unable to move and the ancient mirror was tied to his chest, which meant that Chen Qing could perfectly control his own future trajectory in the spirit form.

Because he is still relatively weak now, Chen Qing's soul cannot be too far away from the ancient mirror. This is a fact that has been confirmed before in the Yamashita era.

It can be said that the user of the ancient mirror is equivalent to the player, and he is the character of the game. The character cannot be separated from the "equipment" used as a carrier - that is, the ancient mirror is too far away, and the trajectory of the character's actions is also controlled by the player.

But it's different now.

Now it is equivalent to the player handing the controller to the game character themselves, giving them the ability to control themselves.

And there is another very crucial one.

That is the taboo knowledge that Chen Qing is currently using. Colin may not be able to see it because of his perspective.

This perfectly conceals his identity as the Lord of Truth.

It was enough for Chen Qing to do many things.

But before that...

Pushing Colin's hospital bed, Chen Qing muttered: "Is there something wrong with your mental state?"

Colin smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Probably."

He felt the energy in his body and said in a low voice: "I can't find out what the specific problem is, but I am sure that my brain has been touched."

It's unclear who specifically moved it.

Because Colin could feel that his memory loss was not the usual fragmented and intermittent kind. Rather, it has a very clear direction, as round as a watermelon that has been hollowed out.

This convinced him that there was absolutely something wrong with his brain.

But he couldn't help but said decadently: "But even if I know this, I can't do anything. My strength is really too... humble, and the person who set up the method is too subtle, so I can only have I noticed it but couldn’t solve it..."

As he spoke, he sighed.

Chen Qing was not surprised by this.

He just used this point to introduce the subsequent topic: "Well, this is indeed a troublesome matter. There must be some ambiguity in your memory, so someone has eliminated some of it."

After a moment of silence, Chen Qing slowly spoke: "Do you want to find your lost memory?"

"I have a method. Perhaps I can use the 'dream' as a carrier to let you know some secrets and at the same time unlock some of your seals."

"But I haven't used this method much in the past, so I'm not sure whether it is absolutely safe. You can also give up and stay here to find a way to solve the curse. This place is very safe, and there are many secrets in this hospital, so maybe You can find stable treatments."

Chen Qing said and looked at Colin calmly.

He seemed to be laying out two methods in front of Colin, but in the final analysis there was only one.

Because he knew Colin's character, he also naturally knew what choices he would make.

as expected.

After struggling for a moment, Colin said without hesitation: "I choose the former!"

Listening to his decisive words, the corners of Chen Qing's mouth twitched slightly and imperceptibly.

But he quickly suppressed his smile, and his tone was still so calm and indifferent: "In that case, then it is as you wish."

As he spoke, he took two steps back.

At the same time, he revoked his soul form.

This way Colin wouldn't see himself disappearing into thin air.

Then, Chen Qing took down a book from the bookshelf and tore a page from it.

After rubbing this page on carbon paper, Chen Qing took the paper and got back into the mirror.

And the moment this piece of paper entered the mirror.

Chen Qing could feel the pollution spreading silently in his hands.

This kind of expansion fluctuation is much calmer than the vision he used before.

But it is precisely because of this that it becomes even more bizarre.

This was what Chen Qing expected.

Because what is recorded on this piece of paper is an anomaly that even humans before the wasteland have not been able to understand clearly and are still buried under the iceberg.

And this abnormality appeared after this catastrophic world.

Its invisible tentacles quietly opened little by little.

Holding the piece of paper, Chen Qing calmly stretched out his hand and put his free left hand on Colin's head.

"Relax," he said the same words he said when he first met Colin, "let your mind accept this power."

With his voice.

The pollution power on that piece of paper also moved closer to Colin.

Colin also felt this strange power.

But surprisingly, he didn't feel particularly repulsed by it.

On the one hand, this is because although this power is rather strange, it does not give people a "dangerous" feeling.

On the other hand, it was because of the calm words of Mr. Zhongli in front of him.

Although his tone was calm, what he said was surprisingly powerful.

As thick and steady as a rock.

With the blessing of these two aspects, Colin really relaxed his guard and allowed the strange power to enter his body.

And Chen Qing also consciously manipulated this vision derived from forbidden knowledge.

This is also a challenge for him.

After all, this vision was to act on Colin's mind.

Even before the Cataclysm, the brain was one of the least understood organs of mankind. What's more, after the disaster, this kind of distorted pollution energy will be produced if you are not careful?

Fortunately, Chen Qing's current perception is far from what it was before.

So his slow guidance finally produced gratifying results.

After a while, the invisible tentacles penetrated Colin's head.

Colin, who originally looked in pain, gradually closed his eyes.

His expression gradually calmed down, as if he had fallen into sleep.

At this moment, Colin's consciousness seemed to sink below the sea level.

His own consciousness is no longer active, replaced by the inner, more secret part of his ideas.

This part was catalyzed by that force, producing some kind of new "dream".

In this dream, Colin experienced his uneventful country life for the first time in a long time.

His parents live a long and healthy life, and his younger brother has been cured. Although his family life is not rich, it is still manageable.

At least Colin was content.

He is not the kind of person who wants too much, and his material desires are not strong. The purpose of all his actions so far is very clear - for his family.

And today's life can be called the future he is most looking forward to.

In this "future", he even found a wife who was not too beautiful, but was quite virtuous.

The story of the two of them is very simple and simple, just like a normal rural couple, making matchmaking, getting married, and holding a wedding.

Then, the two of them were in their room, preparing to complete the last step of the wedding.

When it got to this point, even Colin couldn't help but feel a little shy.

But it was obvious that his mother-in-law was more shy than he was. He didn't even take off his hijab, he just sat on the bed and waited for Colin's next step.

They soon reached the most critical moment.

The candles have been blown out, and the moonlight from outside comes in, reflecting on the bride's black dress, looking calm and dreamy.

And just when Colin was about to complete the final steps.

A distorted voice echoed gently in his ears.

"Is this the life you want?"

This voice is very weird, and the soft whispers have different weirdness and madness.

It was like several people speaking at the same time, with their different accents and tones mixed together, mixing a bottle of water into several different colors.

Then when the dust settled, the bottle of water turned as black as ink.

It seems to be contaminated and defiled.

When he heard this voice, Colin felt something familiar.

But he didn't know where this familiar feeling came from.

On the other side, the bride wearing a long black dress stretched out her hand and gently held Colin's head.

"The life you expect will never come true."

Her voice was very soft, like a poisonous snake spitting a message: "You have known this for a long time, because this is the deepest part of your consciousness, and everything is the other way around...

"Your mother had her head cut off, your father was besieged to death, and your brother was shot through the heart with blood."

"As for the future you want? No, that's impossible. Crazy evil spirits, evil religions, they are all chasing you. You are like a piece of meat abandoned on the road, defenseless and can only be eaten …”

between her whispered riddles.

Colin's consciousness gradually became confused: "No, I'm not..."

But the voice continued.

Along with this voice, Colin's consciousness gradually revived.

His relatives were dead, he was seriously injured and dying, the fire was burning, and the girls of the Qi family were eaten away...

Everything told Colin that this world and everything he experienced in his dreams were completely reversed mirror images.

The life he expected was simply impossible to realize in the real world!

A feeling of powerlessness spreads throughout the body.

And when this feeling gradually accumulates.

A dark shadow gradually appeared from somewhere.

It spread slowly, as if it was going up the bride's black dress, and gradually approached Colin.

The entire hut was slowly dyed black.
