Chapter 38 038.【Madman's Knowledge】

   "The Island, the Kingdom of the Night, and the Abandoned Capital, shouldn't they be places in this world?"

   "Is it a foreign land?"

  Lu Jian thinks it is very reasonable.

  Like my own suona, if it existed in this world, it would definitely cause riots and leave a record.

   But there is actually no relevant history.

  By researching the products of [Silent Department Store], Lu Jian can roughly conclude that there are several exotic places.

  One is the Hejima, which seems to be composed of islands, the sea is the main area, pirates are prevalent, and there are monsters lurking in the sea fog.

  One is the Kingdom of the Night, most of which are located in the Black Forest. There are two organizational forces called the Gray Tower and the Black Tower, and they also possess extraordinary powers such as magic.

  One is the abandoned capital, which seems to be close to the level of modern civilization, with cars, trains, Mafias, and of course monsters and gods.

  The other one is the wasteland. The description of the wasteland is a bit complicated. There are statue of gods, modern tools, beliefs, and science. Since it is not one of the three missions of this trip, he did not study it in detail.

  There is another part, the description is vague, I don't know which area it comes from.

   "No matter what, let's take a daily single draw first, and then make a judgment based on the knowledge gained."

  Lu Jian spent 50 points of silence in exchange for [Madman's Knowledge].

  In his hand, a strangely shaped skull suddenly appeared.

   it's looks like a human being, but the shape of the teeth and eye sockets is obviously different, and the whole head is more like a rodent, sharp and narrow.

  In the skull, there is a pale flame burning. This flame is not scorching hot, but cold. When the fingers touch it, it is like flowing through extremely cold water, which makes the teeth chatter.

   "How do I use this?"

   Lu Jian held the skull in his hand, not feeling terrified, but extremely confused.

   "Grind it into powder and eat it? Soak wolfberry? You can't heat it in the microwave for three minutes, open the bag and eat it?"

  He looked at the skull.

   On the back of the bone, at the back of the head, there is a line of small gilded characters.

  [Crush and use].

   "Crush?"

  Lu Jian exerted force on his hands.

  click——

  The skull that looked like a mouse or a human was turned into powder under a little force from Lu Jian, and the pale flames in it turned into gray mist, flowing into his brain through Lu jian's nose, mouth, ears, and eyes.

  Lu Jian leaned back on the back of the chair.

  A certain kind of knowledge is like a drill breaking through the surface, and it is firmly stuffed into Lu Jian's skull, spreading between the grooves of the cerebral cortex, and commotion in the neurons of the hippocampus.

  In Lu Jian's ears, countless ravings rang out.

  These ravings come from different languages, and are uttered by people of different ages, genders, and identities. Most of them are languages that Lu Jian can't tell the source of.

  He only caught a few words.

  ".They dug down, and at last found the treasure, and the evil of ancient times"

  ".It's all fake, it's all hallucinations, hahahaha, I got it! Hahahaha."

   ".Mafias are important to the abandoned capital, just like white blood cells are to human beings, do you understand what I mean?"

  ".Those flowers, they are in my body, wandering in every blood vessel and every muscle of my body, growing, absorbing my life, and then, being born"

  ".Hey man, when you see fish in the desert, you know what I'm talking about,you should run!"

Along with these babblings, Lu Jian also saw a tall, dark, row upon row of city, saw a magnificent flower field, saw Mafias in suits and sunglasses fighting in the damp and cold alleys, he saw whales singing high and joyously above the desert, he saw beggars struggling to die, he saw the luxurious upper class, and he saw the eyes that lived above.

   eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes

  Countless eyes, more dense than the starry sky, hung high above Lu Jian's head.

  Lu Jian's body trembled slightly, his eyes, nose, mouth corners, and ears were bleeding a little bit, the joints of his body were twisted to an angle that humans couldn't do at all, and his whole body twitched ferociously and strangely for a full five minutes.

  Suddenly, everything stopped abruptly.

  The whole room was silent, as if there was no living person, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

  The cabinet door moved slowly, but it didn't open.

  The curtain fluttered, and there seemed to be a person standing behind the plain cloth.

   The sound of scratching sounded from under the bed for a moment, and then fell into silence again.

  Lu Jian's body suddenly trembled.

   "Huh——"

  He took a deep breath before sitting up.

   Regardless of wiping the blood that had become sticky on his face, Lu Lian first glanced at the familiar ceiling.

  There is nothing on the plain ceiling.

  No.

   Just as Lu Jian was staring carefully, an eye suddenly opened on the wall.

  One, two, three, in an instant, countless eyes opened from the ceiling to the wall, even computers, tables, cabinets, curtains, and even Lu Yi's hands, looking around in different directions.

  Finally, these eyes all looked at Lu Jian's position.

  Lu Jian's nosebleed surged up again, dripping on his clothes and trousers, soaking a large area.

  He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything had returned to normal.

  "I just need to change clothes."

  He looked at his bright red clothes and jeans, got up silently, and opened the closet.

  In the corner of the closet, there seemed to be some kind of darkness gathered. Lu Jian ignored it, but took out a change of clothes, and immediately took off his clothes and trousers, exposing his six-pack abs after exercise, and changed into clothes.

  Throwing the blood-stained clothes into the washing machine to wash, Lu Jian washed the blood on his face and returned to the computer.

  Vision is still a little blurry, but it will recover soon.

   Not a big problem.

   "This is knowledge from the abandoned capital"

  Lu Jian opened a document and briefly summarized what he had just learned.

   "The cultural level of the abandoned capital was about the 1920s and 1930s, with a mixture of Chinese and Western characteristics. Beyond the densely populated megacities lie deserts and wastelands.  "

  "There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the city. The poor live in the small old urban areas, while the central urban areas are exclusive to the rich."

   "The Mafias have an important position in the waste capital, and even become the judicial spokesperson in some areas."

   "There are a lot of monsters hidden in the desert outside the city, including flowers that can crawl and infect, and whales that can fly."

   "There are still riches in the desert, which attract people to go out and explore."

   "And... the ruler of the entire city, the owner of those eyes, may also be a god equal to the existence on Aldebaran."

   "Since I have obtained the knowledge of the abandoned capital, it doesn't look so dangerous here."

  Lu Jian seems to have made a decision.
