Mysterious Catastrophe

"Wait, what are you doing?"

Lauel was shocked.

"Of course, knock off a piece first, no matter what it is, as long as it can be exchanged for money!" Bill grinned, "There are also clothes, funeral objects, and corpses inside... even if the collector doesn't want it, it can be sold to the medical school!"

Due to the development of medicine and anatomy, the medical school in Green Forest City has a great demand for cadavers, and even allows poor students to use cadavers as tuition fees.

On the black market, the price of a dead body varies from £1 to £5 depending on how well preserved it is.

"You do not understand……"

Lauel wanted to stop his companion, but he couldn't do anything because his leg was broken. He could only watch helplessly as his companion waved a shovel and smashed it on the surface of the ice coffin.

when!

After a crisp sound, the shovel was bounced off, leaving no damage on the ice.

Do not!

Not only that, Lauel seemed to see the boy in the sarcophagus, and his eyelids moved.

This made him rub his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

And the next moment, the ice curled up and disappeared... A layer of chill suddenly surged in all directions, almost freezing the soul.

"Heck...it's summer...why...so cold?"

Lauel exhaled a breath of white air, was frozen to death at the same time as Bill, and fell to the ground.

And Aaron in the ice coffin suddenly opened his eyes.

Chapter 81 Glow

Catacombs.

The last bit of ice disappeared out of thin air.

Inside the sarcophagus, Aaron opened his slightly confused eyes, and then said, "Now... is it time for the promise?"

He felt his own weakness, but there was a trace of joy on his face.

This is the feeling of an ordinary person, which means that everything is as he expected, the spirituality in his body is exhausted, and he has turned back to a mortal.

As the ice dissipated, the last ray of light in the cave was also swallowed by darkness.

But not long after, a lantern was lit, and the dim light illuminated the surroundings.

Aaron looked at the corpses of the two people on the ground, and pondered for a while: "Tomb robbers? They seem to want to destroy the coffin, but the ice doesn't melt when it touches the last bit. It's a tragedy. I want to ask them something..."

"However, if you didn't wake up and be imprisoned somewhere, surrounded by a circle of Extraordinary people, or directly under the gaze of those existences, shouldn't it be considered a success?"

Aaron rubbed his rumbling stomach, he was hungry...

His eyes couldn't help looking at the two corpses.

After a while, Aaron, dressed in blue work clothes, climbed out of his grave, holding a package in his hand, which contained the changed clothes and accessories.

He looked at the two corpses before, of course not for eating, he was never prepared to take the 'red' road.

Just from the other party's clothes, let him know that the times should have undergone tremendous changes.

Going out in my old clothes is like jumping a zombie in broad daylight—it’s too eye-catching.

"The two worlds should merge smoothly... Then this world will definitely not lack Extraordinary people, and I'm just a weak and helpless ordinary person..."

"Ahem...Even if I have the power I once had, I probably won't be able to complete the feat of killing a country by one person, so I should keep a low profile...Thinking about it this way, it's really a little regrettable..."

"The most important thing to do when you wake up is to first observe the environment you are in..."

Aaron looked up and saw a bright moon, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness on his face: "It's so good that the bright moon was there back then, and I should be glad that it wasn't crimson..."

The surroundings are dark, it seems to be the wilderness, but there is some light in the distance.

"It seems that I made some mistakes at the beginning, the location I chose was not remote enough..."

He shook his head, turned around and looked at the big hole in the ground, feeling that it was not a project that one person could complete.

And, it's almost dawn.

"Forget it, just bury it hastily, as long as it can be covered...Then the second thing is to try to enter the dream and see how the world in the dream is going...The surrounding environment is not right now, hold off..."

"I don't know how long I've been asleep...but even though I've been away for half my life, I'm still a boy when I come back..."

Aaron held the lantern and walked towards the bright position.

……

early morning.

The orange-red sun was just rising, reflecting on the water of the mother river, sparkling.

Aaron stood in the middle of the steel bridge spanning the east and west of Lusen City, looking at the scenery on both sides of the mother river with wistful eyes.

Numerous reinforced concrete buildings rise from the ground, like a jungle made of steel.

Not far away, towering chimneys in the factory area spew out a lot of smoke.

"The forest of Greenwood has been cleared and turned into a Victorian city?"

Aaron's mouth gradually widened: "Even though the direction of the mother river has changed dramatically, I almost couldn't recognize it... It seems that the geological layer has also changed, right? At least a few earthquakes... Otherwise, I will obviously The tomb is built deep underground, and it will never appear on the surface..."

In the distance, Aaron even saw a track paved with logs, and a train pulled by a steam locomotive roared by.

"In the book I gave Ginny, although the idea of ​​a steam engine is recorded, it doesn't seem to mention the concept of a train..."

Although it was early in the morning, there were already many pedestrians, most of whom were workers in a hurry, as well as newsboys in suspenders, plaid shirts, and berets.

Occasionally, someone is wearing gray wide-leg pants, a beige lapel shirt, and a vest, carrying a briefcase, like a middle-class white-collar elite passing by.

Aaron even saw a beautifully decorated carriage ramming in the middle of the road, and the gentleman in it could be seen through the open window.

The other party was wearing a smooth silk vest and trousers, a black wool dress coat, a round top hat on his head, a gold pocket watch chain and a white silk scarf on his chest...

"This evolution is...a bit fast..."

Aaron muttered to himself and picked up an ink newspaper blown by the wind.

Although the poor-quality ink was sticky to his hands, he could barely recognize half of the text on it, and there were traces of the general characters of the Green Forest in it.

Fortunately, the date column is always more prominent, and the writing of the numbers has not changed much.

"New calendar year 1026, July 7th!"

Aaron read out the first sentence without guessing, his eyes were disappointed.

He didn't know what year the new calendar should start from in history, but it seemed that a long time had passed.

Sothoth castle, family, Ginny...

He took a deep breath, feeling that fortunately he did not leave any heirs, otherwise the feeling that all his relatives died and disappeared in history might make his heart even heavier at this time.

Even so, a kind of melancholy has been entrenched in Aaron's heart for a long time, and he can't get rid of it.

"Everything in the world has become history..."

"It's time for me to focus more...to pursue the extraordinary and the mysterious."

Aaron said to himself, and then looked at the rising sun, his hands spread out, as if to embrace the sun.

'Life is a glow...'

'The glow flows, just like water flowing down from high, so the glow comes from afar...'

'If you want to receive intangible things, you need a tangible container...'

"The tangible container is the flesh and blood itself, because there is nothing in my heart, so it can carry the brilliance..."

'So...the invisible sun rose in my heart! '

Aaron muttered the mantra silently in his heart.

It comes from the secret biography of 'Yao', and it is not the incomplete version of Lin's sacrifice, but Aaron obtained it directly from the sun debris itself.

The essence of that existence is mystery and knowledge!

After being frozen for such a long time, Aaron has already comprehended a profound inheritance naturally, and engraved it directly in his heart.

Even though he has mastered other secrets such as 'red', 'dark', 'shadow', 'chrysalis', after weighing, Aaron still chose the path of 'yao'.

Because it came directly from the [Scarlet Creator] himself, and because after thousands of years of freezing, Aaron felt that even though he was an ordinary person before, in terms of mysticism, he might be secretly transformed and become more suitable' Yao' road.

At this moment, what he is performing is the very first "Aura of Radiance" in the secret biography of "Yao", which needs to be bathed in the radiance of the early morning, and use meditation and mantras to promote spiritual awakening and accumulation.

Aaron felt that his thinking was infinitely elevated, and he came into contact with a ray of light, which filled his heart.

That is - the spirituality of 'Yao'!

He opened his eyes suddenly, his body trembling with excitement.

Even though this bit of spirituality is very weak, it is different from the previous sacrifices, it is the first ray of spirituality produced by himself!

And... no spillage! ! !

"world……"

Aaron murmured softly.

Chapter 82 Museums

'From the dawn of darkness, I saw the light! '

Aaron murmured to himself, ending the first meditation.

Although his expression was calm, he was actually very emotional.

After all, after planning for so long and experiencing so many blows... he finally saw hope!

And hold it firmly in your hand.

Immediately, he noticed that the eyes of the people around him were a little strange.

He heard words like 'crazy', 'jumping into a river', 'bankruptcy'...

"Fortunately, the language has not changed much. Although it sounds like a strong accent and dialect, I can barely understand it..."

Aaron didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and touched his stomach. He was even more hungry.

"I arranged everything for sleeping, but I just forgot to prepare for waking up. I made a mistake..."

He touched his pocket, and there were a few gold and silver coins in it, which were the pocket money he brought before he fell asleep.

Of course it can't be spent directly now, but it should be sold as ancient coins, and the coat he was wearing before should also be sold at a pawnshop for a good price.

At this moment, Aaron felt two eyes coming.

Among the crowd, two men who looked like patrolmen in black and white striped uniforms began to notice him and tended to come over to question him.

This is an age of ambition and honor.

Big businessmen and factory owners desperately squeeze workers, and then use the money they earn to buy land or donate to charity to gain fame, sharpen their heads and marry nobles, so as to join the so-called 'upper class'.

Ordinary workers and the middle class work hard every day, are exploited, live like walking dead, and will be fired if they do something wrong.

Especially workers without special skills are like machine parts, which can be replaced at any time if they break down.

Therefore, they often move in a hurry, with pale faces and rough skin, and most of them have occupational diseases.

And Aaron... No matter in terms of appearance or demeanor, they are too mismatched.

In particular, it is impossible for the workers to stop and enjoy the scenery of the Yver Bridge in a leisurely manner, and then suddenly get excited and look like they are about to jump into the river.

He turned around, merged into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

At this time, the patrolman's sense of responsibility was obviously very low, and he didn't bother to chase him after he found that he hadn't disrupted public transportation or caused any major incidents.

……

Aaron was walking down the street.

In the surrounding corners, there are a few half-sized ghosts wearing peaked caps.

They were supposed to be pickpockets, maybe even turned robbers, and children their age were either child laborers or child prostitutes.

There are not many ways out for people at the bottom, and gangsters are one of them.
