Mystery: The Stars Returner

In online novels, time travel is a very interesting thing. It can free you from your original boring life and enter a brand new world.

There, you can have a new identity, you can still be yourself, you can come into contact with different people, and you can experience different things.

You can get rid of this frail body that is unlikely to live to be a hundred years old. You can get rid of the physical strength that requires you to gasp for air even if you climb stairs. You have too many choices, and you can become someone far beyond your imagination.

Calling wind and rain, flying through the void, these abilities can only be shown in TV dramas, but they can be gently controlled by you.

Go beyond the ordinary self and become a self that can only exist in dreams.

Time travel sounds like an extremely lucky thing.

But what if you just traveled through time?

……

Backlund, Audrey was preparing to lie in bed to rest at night when she felt the call from Mr. Fool.

She asked Susie to stay outside the room, while she lay on the bed and silently recited the name of the Fool in response to this call.

She came to the ancient palace above the gray fog, which was not the normal meeting time. It was quiet and deserted, without a trace of fireworks, and there was only a chill surging from the depths of her soul.

Will Mr. Fool just stay in this palace alone for thousands of years?

Audrey couldn't help but think to herself. Soon, she saw a small room on the side. The mottled door was slightly closed but not closed.

Mr. Fool called her tonight because of the prayer from Mr. World, who wanted him to help treat psychological problems.

She accepted the commission and came here.

Pushing open the ajar door, Audrey walked into the small dark room. A wall separated her from Mr. World.

She slowly sat down, leaning against the wall. In this quiet atmosphere, she adjusted herself, and then said in a brisk tone: "Good evening, Mr. World~"

When her voice rang out in this quiet little room, her spiritual intuition felt the changes in Mr. World's mental body level on the other side of the wall, or the mood swings and state of mind.

Gray, low, confused, depressed, and not interested in anything, as if his life has come to an end, there is no hope, only despair that is so deep that he falls into the abyss.

Did Mr. World encounter any major life changes?

Audrey had felt this emotion before, when she and Mr. Hastur went to the dock area and met people who had lost all hope in their eyes.

The people there exude from the depths of their souls the aura of almost ending, the end of life.

She was not a psychiatrist at that time and could not accurately analyze their mental state.

Now Mr. World next door reminds her of this past event, which proves that Mr. World is in the same mental state as them.

"Good evening, Miss Justice."

Mr. World, who was separated by a wall, finally spoke to break the silence.

This was undoubtedly a pretty good start. At least Mr. World was willing to say hello to her.

"I'm curious about what you have experienced. It seems that you have experienced too many tragic experiences." Audrey said, maintaining the same tone as before.

"If you're willing to share it with me, we can simply chat as friends."

"Of course, if you are interested in my life, I am also willing to share some interesting things."

Mr. World on the other side of the wall fell into brief silence again.

Audrey thought for a while, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with bright eyes: "I heard an interesting joke recently."

"A dog asked a cat a question: 'Why do you always look so relaxed and at ease?' The cat replied: 'Because I am a cat, and you and I are different creatures.' The dog nodded and said: 'I understand. , then I am a happy dog.'"

"That's a joke a dog told me."

Silence, silence is the joke tonight.

Well, actually I don’t think this joke is very funny... Seeing that Mr. World didn’t make any movement, Audrey pouted her lips slightly, straightened her demeanor quickly, and asked tentatively: "Mr. World, you should also You know I have an extraordinary dog, right?”

At this time, Mr. World's slightly hoarse voice came from the other side: "What are your expectations for the future?"

There was finally some movement. This was a good start... Audrey rolled her eyes slightly and replied seriously: "Work hard to improve yourself and strive to be promoted to Demigod earlier so that you can protect your father, mother, and brothers." .”

Well, Mr. Hastur can protect himself and does not need his own protection.

"I once went to the dock area of ​​Backlund. There was a slum there. The people living there were very poor, both materially and mentally. That was the first time I realized that the world was different from what I had imagined. Same."

“It’s not just fine wine and coffee, sweets and scented tea, musicals, dances and dramas, but also the human suffering of not having enough to eat and not being able to keep warm. It’s a world completely opposite to the environment I grew up in.”

"They just exist in the slums and in Backlund. It's conceivable that there are countless uncountable and unseen sufferings happening in this world..."

The words of empathy that came from deep within made Audrey keenly aware of the fluctuations in Mr. World's mental state, just like the ripples and ups and downs of a peaceful inner lake disturbed by a pebble.

Audrey continued to think about herself and said: "Everyone's life script is different. There are scripts like mine where everything goes smoothly and you are a winner in life in the eyes of others. There are also scripts where you are born into poverty and work hard to make progress. There are also scripts where you encounter accidents. , an adventurous life with ups and downs..."

"But I think no matter what kind of life it is, as long as you are still alive and have the ability to change a little bit, even if it is just preparing an extra omelette for your breakfast when you wake up tomorrow morning, that is a good start. "

"Giving up is the easiest option in my mind, because you just need to make no changes and let it go, and it will be done..."

Audrey's soft words finally caused Mr. World to have a slight emotional change across the wall.

"You once obtained information about the dragons from the sun, so you should have a certain understanding of the dragons of fantasy."

"If, I mean if, one day you suddenly discovered that your father, mother, and brothers were all imagined by the audience through the King of Angels and never really existed, how would you react?"

He must have collapsed on the spot, or even lost control... Audrey was inexplicably panicked by this question, but she quickly realized the psychological problem of Mr. World in this passage.

He should have just experienced a drastic change in his life similar to this if.

This is also the crux of his psychological problems.

Audrey did not answer directly, but asked in a guided manner: "You seem to have witnessed the destruction of a hope."

A burst of self-deprecating laughter came from the other side of the wall, "I once naively thought that I still had family in this world, but later I discovered that this was just my wishful thinking."

"Why do you say that?"

The room next door was silent for a few seconds, and then Mr. World's voice sounded again, "You must have read a lot of enlightenment fairy tales that Emperor Russell used as a tutor."

"That's a memory from my childhood."

"Then you should know the story of Sleeping Beauty and the Prince." In the dark room, only Mr. World's deep voice narrated, "There was such a person who also fell into a deep sleep until he woke up one day... He thought that his family Still here, he is trying to improve himself, trying to advance to a higher order, trying to find a way to return home and reunite, which has become the whole meaning of his life."

"But in the end, he discovered that he had been sleeping for at least three hundred years, or even thousands of years, or even longer. Everything he originally owned could never be recovered, it was lost forever, and could never be made up for..."

Such intense pain and confusion gave Audrey, a psychiatrist, a strong sense of empathy, and it also made her understand how to help Mr. World.

Mr. World, who has lost his life goal, needs a new life goal. Only when he has a goal that he wants to pursue again, will he come out of the abyss of despair and continue to walk in the sunshine.

"If I were the protagonist in the story, I think I would go through a life of pain, confusion, and confusion, but I would eventually find the source of all these stories."

"People always end their lives in a daze. When I finally wake up, I would rather die on the way to sobriety."

"There are still many things that can be done, and there are many issues that can be clarified. Even after thousands of years, history is there. There are always some people and things that have survived. Maybe there are people who have experienced the same thing as you, and they are also actively looking for it. What are you wearing?"

This time, Audrey clearly felt that Mr. World was like a dying patient clutching at straws, crawling out of the dark abyss little by little.

Yes, there are people who have experienced the same thing as him. They may also be from his own era... Mr. World Klein suddenly thought of those three empty cocoons.

There is no doubt that Emperor Russell, Huang Tao, is also a time traveler.

And he also realized that there were other time-travelers, so he left a diary written in Chinese characters.

The purpose is to give some inspiration and help to future travelers.

Otherwise, Emperor Russell could destroy the diary he wrote.

In this regard, Huang Tao is indeed a very good fellow.

I am also one of the time travellers, so what about the time traveler in the other cocoon?

He should also have left something in history, or he, like himself, is also living in the present!
