Doll turned into an old man.
It sounded a little scary.
However, the contamination he had encountered in the small courtyard was the same. He could not detect it himself, but it had changed in the eyes of others.
Thus, Lu Xin felt that there was no need to panic.
He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at his surroundings. He immediately discovered that the shadows around him had all changed.
He was in a bustling little city.
Beside them was a flowing river, a wall made of bluestone, and a lively crowd. The warm sunset was on the horizon.
On both sides of the road were a dazzling array of shops. The entrance of each shop was filled with fresh flowers.
He had been to this town before.
When he first entered the wilderness, he saw a Phantom formed by spiritual radiation.
That shadow was what the city looked like.
When he first entered the museum, he saw the life scenes in the bottle. They were also in this town. However, the difference was that he was watching from the outside of the bottle before. Now, he was inside the bottle.
He had finally entered the bottle.
Feeling slightly dizzy, Lu Xin looked around him and saw that there were many people following him.
They had a well-behaved but unusually quiet girl.
There was a woman with short hair and a gentle face.
There was an honest man with a lame leg.
There were also two strong-looking little boys.
They were all carrying different things in their hands. Some were carrying vegetables, while others were pushing their bicycles.
In his hands, he was still holding meat and a bottle of white wine.
“Go big.”
The man who was pushing the bicycle urged, “”Fengxia and kugen are both hungry, and Yuqing is also hungry.”
Lu Xin didn’t know who these people were, but he suddenly realized that they were all the old man’s dreams.
He had entered this world by borrowing the old man’s characteristics and had integrated into his life.
If one looked closely, one would realize that there were two elderly people around them. Including himself, there were three of them. However, the people in the town did not realize that there were three elderly people. In their eyes, he and the baby were also the same old people.
So he heaved a sigh of relief and found which one was the doll from the standing posture. He took her hand and retreated to the side.
The family didn’t seem to find it strange. They just walked towards the end of the road slowly, talking and laughing with the old man.
“Jiazhen, go back and stew some meat for them.”
“Good, good, good. I’ll make more stew today for everyone to eat!”
It was indeed wonderful to have such a harmonious family.
this town is the world inside the bottle? ‘
After the old man left, Lu Xin looked up at the blue sky above the town.
The sky was actually very fake.
Because people who entered this town would automatically be immersed in their beautiful dreams, they would not notice the problem.
However, Lu Xin had entered the town with a suspicious attitude, so everything seemed out of place to him. He could even see that the entire town was like a cracked mirror, with a severe sense of patchwork and refraction.
Just as Lu Xin was beginning to suspect something, a new power appeared in the town.
In the Azure sky, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and his cold gaze swept across the entire town.
It also realized that a Dower that did not belong to the museum had entered.
Lu Xin looked up at the pair of eyes in the sky and smiled.
He could feel that a force was spreading over the entire town.
It wanted to devour him completely and even cut off a part of his mental power.
This was probably the natural instinct of the museum of calamity to collect a portion of his memories.
And this part of the memory should be the one he didn’t want to see the most, or even forget. It was a part of the collection.
if you can be attracted by disaster, then what do you see in me?
Mumbling to himself, Lu Xin slowly took a step forward.
“Creak …
A crisp sound rang out, and the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted and folded like glass.
It was as if he was in the middle of a calm lake, and any movement could cause a huge change in the world.
From this point of view, breaking through this town seemed to be a very simple matter.
Thus, he slowly took another step forward.
Hualala.
More and more changes appeared around him, turning into images that refracted different lights.
Undetectable mental power gushed in from all directions.
This mental power seemed to be able to pull out the memories deep in one’s mind.
People always had the habit of hiding many memories.
However, this kind of memory would always jump out involuntarily at times, and all of a sudden, it would dispel all of the calmness and joy.
Lu Xin was like this at this moment, and he was even more turbulent.
Endless memories surged in the depths of his mind like a fountain.
He suddenly saw his mother, father, and sister not far away, smiling and waving at him. Then, he turned around and slowly walked into a long corridor and closed the iron door.
Lu Xin recognized the corridor. He had seen it in his dream before.
A heavy and oppressive feeling grew in his heart.
He watched as his mother, father, and sister disappeared. He wanted to keep them, but he didn’t.
He continued to walk forward, and everything around him suddenly changed like a trotting horse lamp. He saw a row of children in front of him, all of them sniffling and looking at him in a daze. In the middle of this group of children, there was a lady in a wheelchair.
When Lu Xin saw her, he could not help but feel guilty.
The muscles on his face twitched, trying to squeeze out a smile.
However, he was unable to succeed.
He just stood there quietly for a while, lowered his head, and continued to walk forward.
Group after group of figures flashed in front of him as if the fast forward button had been pressed. He saw little nineteen curled up in the corner of the wall and children in white patient garb playing and chasing each other by the river under the sunset.
She also saw the kind and kind old principal.
He was wearing a low-brimmed hat and a dark-colored casual suit. There were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his hair had turned vvhite, and his back was slightly hunched, but his eyes were still so bright. There was a familiar smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking at his own child. He sat by the stone bridge with a smile and looked at her quietly.
Lu Xin’s heart trembled as a strange emotion washed over him.
He didn’t know how to face this old man who had the most complicated memories. Gratitude and hatred stabbed into his brain at the same time.
He stood there quietly for a long time before he slowly raised his head.
A smile appeared on his face as he gently raised his hand and greeted the old man on the stone bridge.
“Good day, director.”
His voice was trembling, but it still sounded very warm. Then, he closed his eyes and slowly continued to walk forward.
“Huala …
The surroundings suddenly changed.
There were bloody corpses everywhere. The lights in the shops next to them flickered, and dark red blood flowed past his feet. Those familiar faces fell into a pool of blood one by one.
Lu Xin was on the verge of going crazy from the smell of blood and the broken faces around him.
Blood gushed out from his nose like a fountain, wetting the front of his
c10tnes.
This time, a strong desire suddenly emerged in his heart.
He wanted to agree to the town’s request.
He knew that the town, or rather, the museum of calamity, was negotiating with him. It was instinctively trying to get him to pass on this memory, or rather, this feeling, to it, and in return, he would be able to enjoy the good times.
It was indeed attractive.
However, Lu Xin still slowly raised his head and shook it. “l refuse.”
this is indeed a very bad thing. In this life, or even in the next life, or even forever …
“l don’t want to experience it again.” “But I still can’t give it to you.”
“After all …
He spoke slowly, his voice trembling unconsciously, ” whether it’s pain or misfortune, it’s all my own. The reason I feel pain is because these memories appear on the basis of the good, right? ‘
“The destruction of beauty is pain.”
but even if it’s destroyed, I won’t give you these real things in exchange for false illusions …
There was actually no need to say such things at this point in time, but Lu Xin was still very serious.
When he finished speaking and raised his head again, he saw that all the figures in front of him were disappearing. Bloody faces, twisted and strange images, those who had appeared in his life, whether they were by his side, forgotten, or found, they all appeared at the other end of the town and slowly disappeared.
Even the old principal stood up and stood in the middle of the crowd, gently waving to him.
Then, it slowly disappeared.
It wasn’t just Lu Xin’s people who disappeared at the same time.
There were many people in the town, and with everyone as the center, many other human figures were projected. These human figures then constructed and intertwined to form this bustling town. From a bystander’s point of view, it was impossible to tell whether they were real or fake.
After Lu Xin rejected the museum’s offer, he was able to see the true face of the town.
In his vision, the false image of prosperity and liveliness in the town was also quickly disappearing.
Many people immediately went from being surrounded by a crowd to being alone.
In front of the burnt shop, the shop owner sat dejectedly.
An old man with a hunched back, walking towards the setting sun alone.
The girl was lying on the wooden bed in the red light district, her eyes wide open numbly.
There had never been any happiness or beauty in this town, only painful and numb souls..
