Chapter 64 Date (Monthly Pass Requested)
When he reached the edge of the grove not far from home, Lumian stopped, turned to look at Leah and the others who were following him.
This place is quite remote, there are no villagers around, and the trees in the forest are sparse, so you can see at a glance if anyone is hiding nearby.
As the jingle sound approached, Liya asked with a smile:
"How do you know we're looking for someone?"
Lumian didn't speak, and took out the key props he deliberately brought on his body:
The little blue book at his house!
He held it up and showed Lane and the others the pages of the book where some of the words had been cut off.
Without further ado, Ryan nodded lightly and said:
"That letter of help was written by you."
They never mentioned a letter of help in Kordu Village, let alone describe in detail that the letter was made up of words cut out of the little blue book.
Unless the other party has a key insider in Bigor, it must be the letter writer.
Leah instinctively looked around.
The two small silver bells hanging from the veil above her head strangely did not make a sound.
Seeing this scene, Valentine was about to directly ask "where is the strange thing about the people around me", Ryan was already puzzled:
"How can you be sure that we are the ones who came because of that letter?"
You told me yourselves...... Lumian smiled:
"There are very few foreigners who come to Kordu, and even fewer people do not buy wool, cheese, and lambs just wander around the village looking for people to chat with.
"Besides, I didn't say anything, I just showed you this little blue book."
Liya suddenly realized and laughed:
"So it's just a test."
"Very good way, the person who doesn't know the letter of help doesn't understand your intentions at all, so they won't have too many suspicions, at most they think it's a prank, and you are the prank king of Kordu Village." Ryan nodded slightly.
He nodded without a trace, saying that the three of them had not gained anything from chatting in Kordu Village these days, at least they figured out who was more famous in the village, and completed the correspondence.
Lumian suddenly showed a mocking smile:
"Believe it? Do you believe it?"
Seeing that Ryan and the others' expressions were stunned, he added:
"I was just joking just now, the real reason will be told to you later."
Leah grinded her teeth:
"As expected of the prank king of Kordu Village, aren't you afraid that we won't believe what you say later?"
"You can choose not to believe it." Lumian looked "it doesn't matter", "You can also verify it yourself."
Valentine, who was obviously a little dissatisfied, asked eagerly:
"You mentioned in your letter that the people around you are getting weirder and weirder, what are the strange things?"
Lumian said "Oops" and pulled up his fingers:
"There are many of them, specifically the priest of this parish believes in the evil god, the shepherd Pierre. Berry turned people into sheep and drove them back to Cordu, Mrs. Pualis sat in the carriage pulled by the "devil" in the wilderness, the priest of the dungeon hall would have a lizard-like transparent creature coming out of his mouth when he was sleeping, Naroka was not dead but was going to the other world, and the administrator's male butler Louis. Lund just gave birth to a baby himself, and the owl in the legend of the wizard flew back to the village from time to time ......"
Ryan, Lia, and Valentine became more and more shocked the more they listened, not wanting to believe it, and feeling that the kid in front of them couldn't make up so many outrageous stories.
They are all experienced official investigators and have dealt with many extraordinary incidents, many of which involve evil gods and secret techniques, but none of them are as absurd and exaggerated as we hear now, that is, it is more normal for the priest of the main hall to believe in evil gods.
More importantly, most of the incidents they had dealt with before were independent, at most two or three occurred at the same time, and they were closely related to each other, and there were so many such terrifying anomalies in Kordu Village!
"What the hell are you guys?" Almost instantly, similar thoughts flashed through Lia's, Ryan, and Valentine's minds.
They wondered if they had accidentally broken into the legendary abyss or hell!
When Lumian stopped, Leah couldn't help but ask:
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Are there any normal people in this village?
Lumian smiled:
"I haven't finished speaking, there is another anomaly.
"This is the third or fourth time I've talked to you about something similar, Ryan, Leah, Valentine, my cabbages."
Ryan was not surprised that Lumian knew the names of the others - when they were wandering around the village looking for people to chat with in the past two days, they would inevitably report their names.
They were even more surprised and puzzled by the previous half of the sentence.
"What do you mean?" Valentine frowned and asked.
"I mean the past few days have been repeating itself, that is, we are stuck in a cycle of time." Lumian didn't let the three foreigners guess, and directly gave a standard answer.
Without waiting for Ryan and the others to question, he briefly mentioned what the two of them had experienced together, and finally said:
"Think back to it carefully, was the day you entered the village really March 29?"
Liya and the others fell into deep thought at the same time.
After more than ten seconds, Valentine showed a painful expression:
"I have a vague sense of time and can't remember the specific date of the previous two months......
"But, I remember, I remember celebrating my youngest son's birthday before I left, and his birthday was ......"
Valentine raised his head suddenly, and blurted out in unusual shock:
"It's April 10th!"
That said, the real time now is mid-to-late April? In this way, I have experienced no more than one cycle before I can remember...... Well, that was the initial time, the cycle hadn't started yet, so you could send the letter directly in the middle, without relying on the river to help, wait until the cycle appeared, go back, and the corresponding memory would be covered, but the material beyond the range could not come back? Lumian has a new speculation about the letter.
He nodded invisibly and said to Ryan and Lia:
"You can also telegraph to the outside world and set the current date in a way that does not raise suspicion.
"At that time, you will believe me."
"Yes, yes! Telegram!" Valentine woke up and said, "Ask for help from above!"
Lumian glanced at him with foolish eyes:
"Help?
"Faced with this strange time loop, how do you official deal with it?"
Ryan was silent for a moment and said:
"Destroy it directly to prevent the pollution from spreading."
"So, asking for help now is slightly equivalent to suicide." Lumian smiled and spread his hands.
Valentine responded with a fanatical face:
"According to the regulations, it must be reported immediately, and I am willing to sacrifice for this!"
"......" Lumian was shocked.
And such a person?
No, we have to deal with this guy immediately, so that everyone doesn't end up together!
Fortunately, Leah and Lane clearly felt that they were still saved, and they looked at each other and nodded each.
Ryan patted Valentine on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, we don't know exactly what happened, maybe there is a better solution.
"If you really can't save yourself, we will report the situation to the above."
"Yes." Lumian hurriedly added, telling the original version of the discoveries and speculations outside the chest symbols, dream ruins, mysterious ladies, and curly baboon research groups, and finally said, "The key to the problem is most likely on the twelfth night, and we must survive this cycle until that time, only in this way can the next cycle truly solve the problem."
Seeing that he had so many details and could confirm each other, Ryan and the others were completely inclined to believe his words, and Valentine also calmed down and remembered his wife and children.
"No wonder you know us and know that we are looking for someone." Liya exhaled.
It turns out that we exchanged in a loop last time.
She subconsciously touched the small silver bell above her head, wanting to do a divination, but thinking of the abnormalities described by Lumian, she forcibly held back.
She didn't want to blow up the divination because she didn't have to divine before she started the real investigation.
Ryan thought for a moment and said to Lumian:
"You told us this in the hope that we would cooperate with you and your sister to do something?"
"It's smart, my cabbage." Lumian laughed and said seriously, "One is to send a telegram to the outside, saying that your investigation has made initial gains, and the priest seems to have a certain problem, and then ask what the lizard-like thing that came out of its mouth is, this is the one that is the least likely to directly cause a devastating blow among all anomalies.
"Second, this afternoon, my sister will invite Madame Pualis to my house for afternoon tea, and I hope you will sneak into the Administrator's residence with me and conduct some searches.
"As for the future, it depends on the information harvested today."
Ryan, Lia, and Valentine looked at each other, feeling that Lumian's request was not too much at all.
This in itself is what they are going to do.
The four of them immediately came to the village square, Ryan went to telegram, and Lia, Valentine, and Lumian waited outside under the elm tree.
Leah, who was in a good mood, glanced at Lumian and asked curiously:
"You are extraordinary, and so is your sister?"
"Yes." Lumian did not hide it.
Lia suddenly laughed:
"So direct, aren't you afraid of being arrested by us?"
"We are all on the same boat now, and we can only help each other in the face of an emergency when the ship is about to sink." Lumian shrugged his shoulders, "As for the future, it is still unknown whether we can escape this cycle."
"That's right." Leah Ding turned her head sideways and looked at Valentine.
The reason why she brought up this topic was to let her companions understand this truth and not do stupid things.
Valentine's expression was still indifferent, and he nodded invisibly.
Leah turned to ask about one thing she was more concerned about:
"Why can you keep your previous memories?"
"I won't tell you." Lumian laughed.
Without waiting for Lia to respond, he spread his hands and said:
"Just kidding, I don't know either, I have inexplicably retained my memory, and it has only been circulated twice in the last two cycles."
"If you think back to what happened, it might be critical." Liya pondered.
Lumian said sincerely:
"I've been thinking about it all this time, but I haven't realized it, maybe I have to encounter something to suddenly wake up."
Leah was waiting to help analyze when Ryan walked out of the building where the administrator was after receiving a call back.
