Queen is actually asking for help?
Lu Xin can't even imagine, under what circumstances would a being like Queen make such a cry for help?
Since he has heard Queen's cry for help, it means that he is very close to Queen.
He glanced at Kid beside him, took a deep breath, and started walking towards the town.
His feet stepped on the withered flower fields around him, making a crunching sound.
Because they were aware of the crisis in Queen, Lu Xin subconsciously sped up a little faster.
At this time, he no longer intentionally walked around the people in the bottles as before, but followed Queen's cry for help and chose to walk in a straight line. No matter what was around him, the movement of his body immediately caused interference from those dark red spiritual radiations.
Like red water, trembling gently.
Those who were wrapped in spiritual radiation and lived in a happy life suddenly stiffened their movements.
It is as if Lu Xin's movement has affected the operation of this fake city.
Those who had continued their slow actions stopped again, slowly turned their heads, and looked towards Lu Xin.
Their tightly closed eyes seemed to be in a state of being unopened at this time.
Whether it was the butcher shop owner in a wrinkled suit, the woman holding a rotten baby in her arms, the restaurant clerk wearing a scarf, the fat girl accepting a confession, or the woman shopping with friends, their movements all stopped slightly.
His head turned towards Lu Xin, his eyes seemed to be open, only a sliver of white was exposed, cold and indifferent, surging with some kind of danger.
This sense of crisis made Lu Xin slow down slightly, but continued to move forward.
The body passed through the spiritual radiation, completely ignoring the stopped steps of these people and the slightly opened eyes.
"Ding ding ding..."
Strangely enough, even though they were just walking in the wilderness, the sound of glass bottles clinking could be heard all around.
Bang...
When Lu Xin passed by a fat man, there was even a sound of a glass bottle falling to the ground. It was very clear and sweet. As the sound sounded, the fat man next to him suddenly took a sharp breath of air and fell to the ground. He lowered his head, his shoulders trembled violently, and his throat made a roaring sound, like a wild beast.
"Sorry!"
Lu Xin didn't look back, just apologized to him softly.
At the same time, he said, "But to be honest, I haven't actually touched you. If you attack me, it would be an act of aggression!"
While speaking, he still strode forward.
It's just that my heart is full of vigilance, ready to deal with attacks coming from all directions.
There were sounds of glass bottles shaking around.
This crisp sound represents danger among countless sleepwalkers in this wilderness.
It seems that for these sleepwalkers, Lu Xin passing directly through it is tantamount to rudely breaking into their world.
It has caused great damage to their beautiful life, and an invisible hatred is growing.
But Lu Xin chose to ignore them at this time.
As long as they don't interfere with each other, I will take care of the emotions of these people.
But now that it has affected my work, I can't care less about it.
"Hey, hey, be careful. If you break something in the museum, you will have to pay for it..."
Just as the pent-up resentment around him was getting thicker and thicker, an anxious voice suddenly sounded not far away.
It was so quiet that his voice was unusually clear.
Lu Xin immediately stopped and looked up.
Under the layers of dark red radiation, a man was walking cautiously. His movements were very cautious, as if he were walking through a corridor with countless infrared lasers, carefully bypassing these people walking slowly in the wilderness.
It looks like Lu Xin's movements were somewhat similar when he bypassed these people just now, and he didn't want to disturb these people.
The man slowly came ten meters away in front of Lu Xin, showing his white teeth and smiling.
He looked to be in his thirties and was wearing camouflage clothing and a beret.
He wore huge black sunglasses, but he still couldn't hide a scar on his face.
Lu Xin was slightly startled after seeing this person, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
"It's actually you?"
"..."
The man who looked like a mercenary that could be seen everywhere in the wilderness was slightly startled.
Immediately, he smiled slightly in the area not covered by his sunglasses and said, "Do you know me?"
Lu Xin also took a deep breath and nodded.
He did know this man, or should I say, very familiar with him.
It was a friendship that had killed him a dozen times.
Qin Ran.
From the young boss of the transportation company in Satellite City No. 2 when we first met, to the leader of the knights who chased him all the way to Happy Town, and now, this Qin Ran seems to have changed many identities, but it seems that he has always been himself.
I didn't expect him to appear in this wilderness.
However, after thinking about it, it seemed very reasonable, because the first time I entered Happy Town, it was for him.
Seeing him here gave me a vague feeling that my previous doubts had been solved.
Technological Church, you should have a certain understanding of Happy Town very early on, it is far above Qinggang.
So, what they are doing now may have been prepared for a long time.
Thinking carefully about all the possibilities, Lu Xin had countless things to ask him.
For example, why he seems to be endlessly killed.
Like what they are doing at Happy Town.
For example, what is this museum?
After thinking seriously for a long time, he looked up at Qin Ran and said, "You want me to pay?"
"..."
Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Xin to ask this.
After a pause, he said, "I'm not really asking you to pay compensation, I'm just trying to explain this."
"To be honest, there are fragile and precious things here. How can we not be careful?"
"..."
Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
Just now, because of his walking, there was a sound of bottles shaking around him, and he attracted countless people with hateful eyes. But now that he stopped and said a few words, these people had started walking again and continued to fall into their dreams. Only the fat man who had the bottle smashed was lying on the ground at this time, crying in suppressed and sorrowful way.
Lu Xin frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing?"
Qin Ran smiled and said with a sense of sincerity in his voice, "We are healing the injured."
"In other words, healing the world."
"..."
"You call this healing?"
Lu Xin turned around and looked around, with a strange expression.
But Qin Ran nodded seriously and said, "Yes, we are healing the wounds in their hearts."
"Perhaps you can also see that these people are all brought by us from Water Bay City. They are all unhappy people."
"The butcher shop owner Li worked hard all his life and finally settled down in Water Bay City. He worked hard to build such a butcher shop. However, he was burned to death because he offended the local gang. When we found him, he was ready to hang himself."
"The little girl named Ping Ping is kind and hardworking."
"I met her husband on a blind date, but we have a very good relationship."
"She thought that if she was diligent enough, she could run the small restaurant well and make her family prosperous in the future. However, her husband became seriously ill. She spent all her savings and sold the small restaurant, but her husband eventually became seriously ill and died."
"When we found her, she was sitting at the door of the store receiving customers. Customers often hit her because she provided poor service."
"Like a salted fish, you don't even hum..."
"The young mother holding her child thought she was the happiest person in the world, but..."
"..."
"Stop."
Lu Xin stopped him from continuing.
Because when I looked up at this time, I saw that the wilderness was densely packed with people, tens of thousands of them.
He didn't doubt these people, each one had a story, but he was pretty sure he wouldn't have enough time to hear it all.
He frowned slightly. "So, your cure is to... put them in a bottle?"
"Please don't speak with such a condescending sense of superiority."
Qin Ran looked at Lu Xin, his attitude seemed very sincere, even a little serious, and said:
"You think it's in a bottle, but to them, how does that differ from real life?"
"In the eyes of some higher-level people, this huge world we live in is nothing more than a bottle."
"All human memories and perceptions are nothing more than the brain's understanding of the world and feedback on things."
"In that case, why not give back some good things?"
"..."
Lu Xin fell silent.
He suddenly thought of himself, which made him feel depressed.
On such a topic, I seem to have no inherent advantage.
He actually did not say these words with a sense of superiority. On the contrary, deep down in his heart, he had a deep understanding of these people.
Looking at Lu Xin's silence, a smile with the right to speak appeared on Qin Ran's face.
He slowed down his tone and whispered, "Each life is at a different level and has a different understanding of the world."
"The fact that you were able to leave the museum proves that you have a very clear mind, so I think you can understand."
"Our world will always be incomplete."
"This world will never make everyone happy."
"Because some people's happiness is inherently higher than other people's pain."
"So, the world in the bottle we created is the only way to make this world happy."
"So you..."
"..."
There seemed to be a hint of expectation in his voice.
Then in Qin Ran's eyes, Lu Xin suddenly looked at Kid and said, "Do you understand?"
Kid, who was standing quietly, turned to look at Lu Xin and shook his head silently.
Lu Xin said, "I didn't understand either."
Qin Ran The smile on his face disappeared immediately.
"What you said seems to make sense."
Lu Xin turned to look at Qin Ran and said seriously, "But I don't know why, subconsciously I feel that what you did is wrong."
"It seems like I have experienced similar things before..."
"Sorry, my memory is not very good, I can't tell you exactly what it is."
"But now I'm here with a mission, so I'm going to start my investigation next."
"..."
Qin Ran was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and raised his head. "Do you have to destroy the happiness of these people?"
"If they continue to get in my way, then yes."
Lu Xin nodded and said softly, "Because I want to be worthy of the pain of those dead people."
"The pain of the dead?"
Qin Ran was obviously startled and frowned slightly.
"Yes."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "I don't know why you suddenly came here and caused so many things, but you killed my colleagues and turned them into living dead people. You made them feel pain and fear that ordinary people can't imagine. But even in this pain and fear, they still decided to complete their job."
"I thought about it for a long time before I understood the significance of what they did."
"Because they just want to protect our lives because they think it's worth it."
"Actually, I feel like there is some truth in what you said. I don't want to say that the people in the bottle are pitiful or anything like that, but what you do is in conflict with what those people who sacrificed things more important than their lives to protect..."
"In this wilderness, I met the best of dead people, and the worst of living people."
"Who do you think I trust more?"
"..."
Qin Ran didn't seem to expect Lu Xin to answer like this.
He was slightly startled, his expression thoughtful, as if he wanted to write down Lu Xin's answer completely.
"Besides, it seems that you are not just giving happiness to these people..."
Lu Xin looked at Qin Ran and said slowly:
"If you are here for healing, then why did you name the bottled world Museum of Calamities?"
"What is in the bottle is the life and the most beautiful dream that these painful people long for, but their pain is the strongest when the dream is interrupted. So, can I understand that this is just a way of collecting?"
"Use the most beautiful fantasy to collect the most desperate pain."
"I..."
When he said this, Lu Xin's pupils shrank slightly. "I hate what you are doing."
"So, I never thought of letting you go from the beginning..."
"No matter what you see or say to me, my purpose will not change in any way."
"..."
Qin Ran's face had become a little cold, and facing Lu Xin's gentle and warm smile, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He subconsciously stepped back, staring at Lu Xin's movements, and whispered in a low voice, "It seems that I can't persuade you anymore. Although I am a knight of Technological Church, I must admit that I am only good at preaching when I point a gun at the opponent's head..."
"Just like this."
"I can't convince you to respect this museum, but what I can ask you is..."
"Faced with such a first-order parasitic product, do you know what price it will cost to break it?"
"..."
"I never thought about it."
Lu Xin said slowly.
Not only did he not think about the cost of breaking this museum, he didn't even think about how to break it.
In the past, I had always been with the help of my family, and no matter what I did, I was always successful, but now, I am alone. Without the company of my family, how much of their abilities can I still use?
If he senses it carefully, he can actually feel that there seems to be some power in his body. He can also forcibly summon such power by imitating his sister, father, and Mom. However, he has confirmed it many times before. If he does this, although he can indeed exert some of his abilities, the overall effect is very unsatisfactory and cannot be exerted.
So, with my current strength, can I cope with the situation at hand?
After careful calculation in his mind, he turned to Kid, nodded with a smile, and said, "Break it."
Although the family cannot be seen for the time being.
But luckily, I brought a thug with me.
Kid doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't do anything to attract others' attention.
Most of the time, she just followed Lu Xin quietly. Even when she encountered such a strange museum, she had no intention of taking the initiative to explore or investigate. From this aspect, she was really not a good team member.
However, she obeyed.
Therefore, when she saw Lu Xin's smiling face, she immediately understood what Lu Xin meant.
Then he smiled shyly and walked out.
If a chapter has 4,500 words, rounding it off... does that mean there are no updates?
