LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 713: there is only one truth
Chapter 713 There is only one truth
The night was dark and the town of Centralia filled with poisonous smog was dead silent. The sound of underground fires burning fiercely could only be heard near the mine.
A few minutes before midnight, Richard appeared at his own home in the town.
The two-storey building was scorched black by the fire, the roof collapsed, the walls were cracked, and unburned furniture remained in the living room.
Richard stood in the ruins, subconsciously embracing his hands, staring in a certain direction expressionlessly, looking as if he was in a daze.
"Why? Why was that guy able to find me?!"
Richard made a sound of doubts, with an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.
Dru and his group of investigators have hunted Richard down for half a century. Many investigators feel desperate because of the endless future day after day.
And Richard himself didn't feel numb.
Playing cat-and-mouse games with Du Lu and others, no matter how fun the game is, you will feel deeply bored if you continue to play it for half a century.
The appearance of Fang Cheng and Isis brought new changes to this seemingly endless cycle.
It's just that this change is not what Richard is happy to see.
Although he also hopes to be able to get rid of this endless reincarnation in his heart, he doesn't want the price to be the complete liberation of Centralia Town, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to stick to it for so many years.
Originally thought that relying on the ability to travel through space, Fang Cheng and Isis would be able to retreat from difficulties.
Who knew that after a few rounds, Fang Cheng was able to find his position accurately.
Richard's sense of security was shattered at once, and he fell into an unprecedented panic.
In addition to the ability to travel through space, his own strength is not very good. Facing Fang Cheng and Isis who can kill him in seconds, he has no desire to fight at all.
Standing in the living room in a daze for a while, until Dang! clang! clang! The ringing of the bell woke Richard up.
Seeing that the dilapidated living room began to recover, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"They shouldn't be able to catch up here."
This is the town of Centralia at another point in time, maybe fifty years ago, maybe thirty years ago, there are too many to remember.
Although Richard couldn't leave, he could shuttle back and forth between the towns of Centralia at these different time points, and he didn't believe that Fang Cheng could catch him.
clang! clang! clang!
When the bell rang, Fang Cheng and Isis also appeared in the town.
He immediately released his bloodline elements, and then sensed Richard standing in his living room.
Fang Cheng didn't let go of Isis's hand, and pulled her directly to open the crack in the subspace to pass through.
Richard, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, saw Fang Cheng and Isis appearing in front of him again, his eyes widened suddenly.
"you?!"
He has already run here, why is he still chasing him?
What answered him was Fang Cheng's merciless attack.
And there was no surprise in the ending, Richard ran away smoothly again, this time he did not run into the mine, but directly left the town of Centralia at this point in time, and ran to another point in time.
Fang Cheng also opened the crack in the subspace, and dragged Isis to catch up.
After both parties left, it was as if someone had turned the hands of the clock, and the recovery speed of the entire town was significantly accelerated.
Dulu and the others had just been burned to death from the last reincarnation. When they were resurrected, they faced the small town that had reached the end of its extinction.
"Why? How come again?!"
Among the cries of grief and indignation, they were once again engulfed in flames.
Richard fled to the town of Centralia at another time, still a few minutes before midnight.
The town is deserted, but Richard feels insecure.
He stood in the living room, full of vigilance like a frightened bird, but there was still a little luck left in his heart.
A few minutes later, when the bell rang, the town began to recover. This seemed to be a signal, and Fang Cheng and Isis reappeared in Richard's home.
The luck in Richard's heart completely disappeared, and he chose to run away without saying a word.
Fang Cheng and Isis looked at each other and followed closely.
After the two sides left, the recovery speed of the town accelerated again, and it was quickly swallowed by the underground fire again.
Dulu and others who had just been burned to death were resurrected.
Looking at the fire with nowhere to escape, they were filled with grief and indignation, and thousands of words were reduced to one word.
"Grass!"
Richard is like a terrified animal.
He kept traveling through different time points, and never stopped, trying to get rid of Fang Cheng and Isis' pursuit.
Fang Cheng and Isis are chasing after each other. Although they are more than a little bit behind Richard every time they cross, they will not give up as long as the direction and path are correct.
Finally, Dulu and his group of investigators were forced to enjoy the accelerated reincarnation, and every resurrection was about to end. It was like being in hell, enjoying the taste of barbecue for free.
…
I don't know how long it has passed. When Fang Cheng and Isis reappeared in the town of Centralia, their expressions were not so relaxed.
In the town of Centralia after crossing, the time is not just before twelve o'clock, but after twelve o'clock, and the residents have been resurrected for a while.
This happens because Richard runs too fast.
Every time he crosses, the reincarnation will start, and every time he leaves, the reincarnation will be accelerated.
Although Fang Cheng was chasing after him very hard, he still couldn't catch up, and seemed to be thrown further and further away.
Because Richard travels very easily every time, just open the subspace crack and get in.
Fang Cheng had to open the subspace crack first, enter his own subspace, and then open the crack to come out.
Because there is one more process, the speed is much slower.
At first, the two were able to chase after the bell when the bell rang, and then slowly after the bell rang, the residents began to revive.
Now even monsters are starting to appear, which means that the two have been thrown farther and farther away by Richard.
"How many times?"
Fang Cheng asked Isis.
Isis has been counting silently, and blurted out after hearing the question: "Three hundred and thirty-five times."
Through 335 times in a row, the target is getting farther and farther away.
Fang Cheng could not help but sigh: "We are too optimistic, it is not that easy to catch him."
After traveling so many times, he has now figured out the general situation of the entire town of Centralia.
The time in the town of Centralia is like a long strip strung together with countless small rings.
Each small circle is a reincarnation, from recovery to destruction, the town of Centralia has been repeating this process.
And when all the rings are connected, they are synchronized with the time of the outside world, from 1962 to the time when Fang Cheng and Isis came in.
Every day in the outside world is a new cycle for the town of Centralia.
This half-century adds up to at least 18,000 or more reincarnation times, and Richard can travel back and forth in it, so one can imagine how difficult it is to catch him.
Isis said in relief: "With our current pursuit speed, we will soon be able to complete more than 10,000 times."
Fang Cheng said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of the number of times, I'm afraid that he will return to the starting point after chasing to the end."
Hearing what Fang Cheng said, Isis also fell silent.
If Richard can really go back to the beginning, it means that he will never be caught.
Judging from the experience of Fang Cheng and Isis running half a century ago, this situation is very likely.
Fortunately, neither of them was an ordinary person, so they soon regained their spirits and continued to chase.
On the other side, Richard, who has escaped at least a thousand reincarnations, also began to relax.
He knows the time of the entire town of Centralia well, and knows that Fang Cheng and Isis have been left far behind.
If they had nothing else to do, it would be impossible to catch Richard, not even chase him.
Richard was even able to go back to the past point in time, running behind Fang Cheng and Isis, and they would just know nothing about it.
Understanding this, the sense of security that had been lost suddenly returned, and Richard was completely relaxed.
He poured himself a glass of wine, lay on his sofa, and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling.
"I have advised you to leave a long time ago, but if you don't listen, then enjoy despair in endless reincarnation."
Originally, Richard Fangcheng and Isis didn't have too much malice, but the persistent pursuit of these two people created a long-lost hostility in his heart, and he wanted to teach them a profound lesson.
He raised his glass slightly, as if toasting Fang Cheng and Isis in the air.
"You're going to love this, cheers."
…
After a thousand time travels.
Fang Cheng and Isis still did not catch up with Richard, but experienced the treatment of Dulu and others, and encountered a small town engulfed by fire as soon as they came up.
After two thousand time travels.
Fang Cheng and Isis met Richard in the living room of the two-storey building.
It wasn't that he caught up, but that he deliberately appeared in front of the two of them.
"You will never catch up with me, just like the wild dogs on the ground can never catch up with the flying eagle."
Richard sat on the sofa in a relaxed posture, mocking Fang Cheng and Isis mercilessly.
After three thousand time travels.
Richard appeared in front of the two again, and said slowly: "I will go back to the very beginning, but you need to go back and walk the way you came back to find me. Are you happy?"
After bringing this desperate news, Richard laughed and disappeared.
After traveling through countless times, Fang Cheng and Isis stopped chasing.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was obvious that Fang Cheng alone would never be able to catch Richard.
Isis looked at Fang Cheng: "Have you found a way to leave yet?"
In the subsequent crossing, both of them were not only trying to catch Richard, but also looking for a way out of Centralia town.
Fang Cheng shook his head when he heard the words: "Time is always chaotic, and it is even more difficult to find the way out."
Every reincarnation in Centralia Town is not connected in chronological order, but in a mess.
Maybe this reincarnation was 30 years ago after using the subspace crack, and the next reincarnation will be 50 years after leaving, and the next reincarnation will be 10 years.
If you want to find out exactly when Fang Cheng and Isis came in, you may need to check at least 18,000 reincarnations in the town of Centralia before you can find the way out.
If Richard doesn't want the two to leave, he may disrupt all these reincarnations by hand.
Faced with this desperate situation, Isis was not nervous and remained calm: "Let's take a break first."
Fang Cheng was a little irritable: "I'm not tired."
Isis insisted: "The body is not tired, but your spirit has already begun to be impetuous. Can you still find a way out?"
Fang Cheng was slightly taken aback, instead of arguing with her, he sighed: "You are right."
He has encountered many dangers before, but there has never been a situation where he has nowhere to use his strength like now.
Even though he could easily kill Richard in seconds, he was ridiculed by the opponent wantonly.
Fang Cheng's mentality is already very good. If other people were ridiculed like this, they would have already checked out of the shell—the clam couldn't hold it anymore.
At this time, the two were located in the revived town of Centralia, and the residents came back to life again, continuing the endless cycle of reincarnation day after day.
Fang Cheng and Isis casually entered a quiet building to rest.
Neither of them talked, but used silence to ease their anxiety.
The reincarnation outside continued, and Du Lu's group of investigators finally reappeared.
Looking at the peaceful town of Centralia, Dulu almost cried.
He can’t remember exactly how many times, every time after being resurrected, he encountered a big fire, was burned to death, resurrected again, and was burned to death again.
This has continued for thousands of times, and the experience in the previous half century has not been so painful.
One-third of the few investigators around him were so desperate that they gave up directly, and the rest were almost burned to the point of becoming mindless puppets. die.
Now that he finally came across the unburned town of Centralia, tears welled up in Dulu's eyes.
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy.
Fang Cheng and Isis observed the investigators halfway across the town, and seeing Dulu still encouraging the people around him to act, he couldn't help admiring this guy's perseverance.
Half a century of failures, and thousands of times of suffering from being burned to death, they still don’t give up.
Such terrifying perseverance, Fang Cheng thought to himself that he should not be able to do it.
The remaining investigators, encouraged by Dulu, sprang into action and rushed to Richard's house.
But they are doomed to be disappointed, because Richard is not in this cycle at all.
Richard was not found, and Dulu led people to the mine, but Richard was also not found.
A group of people stood in the mine, their dazed figures looked very sad, and were finally swallowed by the underground fire again.
Fang Cheng and Isis were silent, watching the flames emerge from the surface and gradually engulf the town.
Residents in the small town may be happy even though they are ignorant, without the memory of this desperate reincarnation.
Before the fire appeared, they would also turn into monsters, and they didn't need to use reason to bear the pain of the flames.
Fang Cheng's eyes gradually changed as he watched the thousands of residents in the town turning into monsters and howling in the fire.
Something flashed through his mind, it was obviously something important, but he couldn't grasp it.
Isis looked at Fang Cheng frowning and thinking, and asked aloud, "What's wrong with you?"
Fang Cheng didn't answer, but grabbed her hand and went to the next reincarnation.
In the next reincarnation, Fang Cheng did not intervene, and continued to hide and watch the whole reincarnation process.
Isis guessed that Fang Cheng might be verifying something, so he didn't interfere.
For several consecutive reincarnations, Fang Cheng has been watching silently.
Richard, who was hiding at another point in time, was also silently observing the actions of Fang Cheng and Isis.
"Is this... already given up?"
Richard couldn't guess the purpose of Fang Cheng's current actions.
But I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
After watching Samsara seven or eight times in a row, Fang Cheng finally grasped what he hadn't grasped in his mind before.
It's like pushing open a door, and it suddenly becomes clear.
After the reincarnation ended again in the town, Fang Cheng dragged Isis into the subspace, avoiding Richard's prying eyes.
He asked Isis: "Do you know when a human being becomes a monster?"
Isis hardly thought about it: "Be influenced by the power of the mother, or be influenced by the power of the evil god."
"Exactly!"
Fang Cheng snapped his fingers and said excitedly: "There will be three waves of monsters in Centralia Town, the first wave will attack Dulu's investigators and town residents, the second wave will be transformed by the town residents themselves, and the third wave will The three waves are the cultists who died in the flames in the mine, how many waves do you think are influenced by the power of the mother?"
"Of course it's all..."
Isis subconsciously wanted to answer, but swallowed back what he had said, with a look of deep thought.
"Do you think that the residents turned into monsters, and those cultists are all affected by the power of evil gods?"
"Right, that is it!"
Fang Cheng was very excited and said: "I suspect that there is a door that is about to open in the mine. The power of the evil **** seeps out from the door, turning the cultists and residents into monsters. Remember, before we came in, the forest There is a sense of crisis in the town of Telleria, and that should be caused by this gate."
If he hadn't seen the fanatics turned into monsters in his mother's memory, Fang Cheng would not be able to find the truth from the residents turning into monsters.
Residents turned into monsters, cultists, altars, the time of non-stop reincarnation, and the truth that Richard is unwilling to tell, all point to the only answer—the door.
The town of Centralia keeps reincarnating, and its purpose may be to prevent the door from opening, and the mother's body may play an indispensable role in this.
Looking at Fang Cheng's uplifting appearance, a sentence emerged in Isis's mind.
You have finally found the truth.
She didn't rush to admit it, but asked: "You said that there is a gate in Centralia Town, so why didn't we see or feel the power of the evil god?"
If the power of the evil **** is really strong enough to mutate the residents, then Fang Cheng and Isis must have discovered it early on.
Facing Isis's questioning, Fang Cheng was not nervous. He had observed several reincarnations in a row, and he had enough confidence in his guess.
