Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 62

Arriving at the edge of the woods not far from home, Lumian stopped and turned to look at Liya and others who were following behind.

This place is quite remote, with no villagers coming or going around, and the forest is sparse with trees, so you can see if anyone is hiding nearby at a glance.

As the tinkling sound approached, Liya asked with a smile:

"How did you know we were looking for someone?"

Lumian said nothing and took out the key props he specially brought with him:

That little blue book in his house!

He raised the object and showed Ryan and others the pages with some words cut out.

Needless to say, Ryan nodded gently and said:

"The letter asking for help turned out to be written by you."

They had never mentioned a letter asking for help in Kordu, let alone a detailed description of the letter being pieced together from words cut out of the Little Blue Book.

Unless the other party has a key insider in Bigor, it must be the letter writer.

Lia instinctively looked around.

The two small silver bells hanging from the veil above her head were strangely silent.

Seeing this scene, Valentine was about to directly ask "What's strange about the people around me?" when Ryan said in confusion:

"How can you be sure that we are the ones who came because of that letter?"

You guys told me yourselves  Lumian smiled:

"There are very few outsiders who come to Kordu, and there are even fewer who don't buy wool cheese lambs and 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 it and laughed:

"It turns out it was just a test."

"A very good method. The person who didn't know the letter asking for help didn't understand your intention at all, so they wouldn't have too many suspicions. At most, they thought it was a prank, and you are the prank king of Kordu Village. "Ryan nodded slightly.

He nodded without leaving any trace, saying that the chat between the three of them in Kordu Village these days was not fruitless. At least they found out who the more famous people in the village were and completed the correspondence.

Lumian suddenly showed a teasing smile:

"Believe it? Do you believe it?"

Seeing the stunned expressions of Ryan and others, he added:

"I was just joking, the real reason will be told to you later."

Liya grinded her teeth:

"As expected of the prankster king of Kordu Village, aren't you afraid that we won't believe what you're going to say later?"

"You can choose not to believe it." Lumian said, "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 becoming more and more strange. What are the strange things?"

Lumian said "Ouch" and raised his fingers:

"There are many, including the parish priest who believed in evil gods, the shepherd Pierre Berry who turned people into sheep and drove them back to Cordu, Madame Poialis riding a carriage pulled by the devil and galloping through the wilderness, A lizard-like transparent creature will come out of the mouth of the priest when he sleeps, Naroka is going to the other side of the world even though she is not dead yet, the administrator's male butler Louis Lund has just given birth to a baby, and the wizard legend The owls there fly back to the village from time to time..."

Ryan, Liya, and Valentine were more and more shocked as they listened. They didn't want to believe it, but they also felt 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 occult techniques, but none of them are as ridiculous and exaggerated as what we hear now. In other words, it is more normal for our priest to believe in evil gods.

What's more important is that most of the incidents they dealt with before were independent, with at most two or three happening at the same time, and they were closely related to each other. However, there were so many terrifying anomalies in Kordu Village!

"Where on earth are you?" Almost instantly, similar thoughts flashed through the minds of Liya, Ryan, and Valentine.

They wondered if they had accidentally entered the legendary abyss or hell!

When Lumian stopped, Liya 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 yet, there is another exception.

"This is the third or fourth time I've talked to you about similar things, Ryan, Leah, Valentine, my cabbages."

Ryan, Liya and Valentine were not surprised that Lumian knew the names of themselves and others - when they were wandering around the village looking for people to chat with in the past two days, they would inevitably announce their names.

They were even more surprised and confused by the first half of the sentence.

"What do you mean?" Valentine asked with a frown.

"What I mean is that it has been repeated over the past few days, which means we are stuck in a time loop." Lumian did not let the three outsiders guess and directly gave the standard answer.

Without waiting for Ryan and the others to question, he briefly mentioned what they had experienced together, and finally said:

"If you think about it seriously, was it really March 29th when you entered the village?"

Liya and others fell into deep thought at the same time.

After more than ten seconds, Valentine showed a painful expression:

"My sense of time is blurry and I can't remember the specific dates of the past two months...

"But, I remember, I remember celebrating my youngest son's birthday before I left, and his birthday was..."

Valentine suddenly raised his head and blurted out in shock:

"It's April 10th!"

In other words, the real time now is mid-to-late April? From this point of view, the number of cycles I have experienced before I have memory will not be many, not even more than once... Well, that time was the initial one, and the cycle has not started yet, so I can send the letter directly in the middle, no Do you need to rely on the help of the river, wait until the cycle appears, and go back, the corresponding memory will be overwritten, but the material beyond the range cannot come back? Lumian had new speculations about the letter.

He nodded invisibly and said to Ryan and Liya:

"You can also send a telegram to the outside world and find out the current date in a way that does not arouse suspicion.

"When the time comes, you will believe me."

"Yes, yes! Send a telegram!" Valentine woke up suddenly, "Ask for help from above!"

Lumian looked at him as if he were a fool:

"Help?

"Faced with this weird time loop, how do you officials deal with it?"

Ryan was silent for a moment and said:

"Destroy it directly to prevent the contamination from spreading."

"So asking for help now is a bit like committing suicide." Lumian smiled and spread his hands.

Valentine responded enthusiastically:

"According to regulations, we must repay immediately, and I am willing to sacrifice for this!"

"..." Lumian was shocked.

Are there such people?

No, this guy needs to be dealt with immediately, lest everyone dies together!

Fortunately, Liya and Ryan obviously felt that they could still be saved. They looked at each other and nodded.

Ryan patted Valentine on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, we don't know exactly what happened yet, and there may be a better solution.

"If we really can't save ourselves, we will report the situation to the higher ups."

"Yes." Lumian quickly added, recounting the chest symbols, the dream ruins, the mysterious lady, and the discoveries and speculations outside the Curly Baboon Research Society, and finally said, "The key to the problem is most likely in the twelfth Ye, we must survive this cycle until then. Only in this way can the next cycle truly solve the problem."

Seeing that he told so many details and could corroborate each other, Ryan and others were completely inclined to believe his statement. Valentine also calmed down and remembered his wife and children.

"No wonder you know us and know that we are looking for someone." Liya breathed out.

It turns out that we had exchanges last time.

She subconsciously touched the small silver bell above her head, wanting to do a divination, but thinking of the abnormalities Lumian described, she forced herself to hold back.

She didn't want to be blown up because of a divination that shouldn't have been done before she even started the real investigation.

Ryan thought for a moment and said to Lumian:

"You tell us this, do you want us to cooperate with you and your sister in doing something?"

"Very smart, my cabbage." Lumian laughed and said seriously, "The first is to send a telegram to the outside, saying that your investigation has made preliminary gains. The priest seems to have certain questions, and then ask Ask what the lizard-like thing that comes out of the mouth is. This is the least likely of all anomalies to directly cause a devastating blow. Ah, by the way, confirm the real date, pay attention to the method, and don’t let outsiders know. people doubt.

"Secondly, this afternoon, my sister will invite Mrs. Pualis to my house for afternoon tea. I hope you can sneak into the executive mansion with me and conduct a certain search.

"As for what happens next, it depends on the information gathered today."

Ryan, Liya, and Valentine looked at each other and felt that Lumian's request was not excessive at all.

That in itself is what they do.

The four of them immediately came to the village square, Ryan went to send a telegram, and Liya, Valentine and Lumian were waiting under the elm tree outside.

After gathering herself, Liya glanced at Lumian and asked curiously:

"You are an extraordinary person, and so is your sister?"

"Yes." Lumian didn't hide it.

Liya suddenly laughed:

"You're so direct, aren't you afraid of being arrested by us?"

"We are all in the same boat now. Facing the emergency situation where the boat is about to sink, we can only help each other." Lumian shrugged, "As for the future, we will talk about it later. Whether we can escape from this cycle is still unknown. Woolen cloth."

"That's right." Liya tilted her head and looked at Valentine.

The reason why she raised this topic was to let her companions understand this truth and not do stupid things.

Valentine's expression remained indifferent, and he nodded slightly.

Liya turned to ask about something she was more concerned about:

"Why can you keep your previous memories?"

"I won't tell you." Lumian laughed.

Without waiting for Liya to respond, he spread his hands and said:

"I'm just kidding. I actually don't know. I have retained the memory for some reason, and only the last two cycles."

"Remember what happened at that time, this may be crucial." Liya pondered for a while and said.

Lumian said sincerely:

"I have been thinking about it during this period, but I haven't noticed it. Maybe I have to encounter something to suddenly wake up."

Liya was waiting to help analyze, and Ryan, who received the call back, walked out of the building where the administrator was located.
