The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 10 Public Speaking
Gwen in the front carriage came once, but didn't look carefully at it. At that time, he was preparing to find a place to avoid falling into the street. Now he is free.

A curved bar for both the bar and the front desk is arranged on the left hand side of the entrance, with a free large hexagonal fireplace in the middle.This fireplace looks like a hexagonal table, but the six sides are empty, and there is a red egg-like metal in the middle that is emitting heat.

Before Gwen could walk over, she felt the billowing heat wave hitting her face.

so warm...

"But does this count as my weakness? Do I have to blow the cold wind outside to sober up?" Gwen thought about this question.

Overcoming people's comfort zone nature is also something he loves to do, but he gave up after thinking about it. Today, he has exercised his will.

Never practice more is his slogan.

Reasonable exercise, don't push yourself to the limit, that's why he in his previous life can maintain a peak state that others don't have for so many years.

Reasonable planning, the pursuit of a romantic life, a life that is as exciting as boiling water, but will not pursue the momentary youth and short-lived.

...Of course, it's not like you just stay away.

Surrounding the fireplace in the middle of the room, there are two or three residents, who carry small table boards and cushions that look like canvas.Most of them are people called Ron people with canine ears.There are also a small number of Welji people, that is, cat-eared people.Then, there was the bear-eared Shard who was lazily drinking tea and playing cards.

As for the last major race in Utopia, the 'Lutes', they went to bed early.The Lute people live an exquisite and withdrawn life, unlike the other three types of people who like to drink tea together at night, chat about literature and play cards... Although memory shows that the card skills of people in Utopia are often addicted to food and vegetables.

But food is relative.

As long as the opponent is good enough, then it is evenly matched, and it is an upright victory or defeat!

In addition to people who play cards, you can also meet 'special talents'.

It was two adult women, sitting on the two ends of a portable table used as a small bookshelf, full of books.

One of them, Ron En, with red hair and wolf-like dog ears, read with a beautiful voice:

"The ghoul is the embodiment of 'desire', unable to control its stupid and blind nature...In the depths of the abyss, in the train track under the train, there is something...The hoarse voice said, countless chaotic and unverifiable words From his mouth...the only complete sentence was, 'His lover's body was dug out by some kind of creature and eaten'..."

The secret code contains knowledge, knowledge contains source power, and the vibration of source force can attract Utopians, because every Utopian instinctively pursues source power.

Gwen learned from memory that this behavior was called 'public discussion and reading of the tome', and it was not illegal.

But the identity of the general user is illegal.

In Utopia, religious groups other than the two legal religious groups are called "societies". Similarly, it is not illegal to have the source power, but it is illegal to guide others to learn the source force, and the source force messengers develop similar and inferior The online method is also to use the community to develop.

The purpose of public reading and discussion of the Codex is to attract 'sufficient qualifications'.

Even if they are not qualified enough, it seems that they can be useful in coolies.Not every source messenger has the same physical fitness as Gwen.

But these two are not origin messengers, they are like candles being lit in Gwen's eyes.Weak, half a foot into the extraordinary, but it has not yet illuminated the black mist around him, and saw his own 'landscape'.

Gwen walked to the front desk, lifted the pajama pants that were short to the thigh, fastened the tie of the nightgown, and removed the source force cover.

"An interesting phenomenon."

A large number of light spots of source power emerged in the air, they sank into nature, and slowly diverged. After about 4 seconds, Gwen's sense of presence 'returned'.

The waiter at the front desk looked at him, his eyes widened in surprise.

Weakening the sense of presence cannot do what some comics do. The so-called "weakening" needs to be "reasonable" to set off.If you don't interrupt at this time, maybe the attendant will look at the opened door, thoughtfully patch up the 'picture' through the subconscious mind of the 'picture that I have ignored', and realize that 'something is wrong'.

So just respond to it.

Without waiting for the attendant to think, Gwen said first: "Mushroom tea, I heard from the driver that each person has 200 grams of mushroom tea as a gift?"

Mushroom tea, which is closer to the 'tea sugar' in the shape of cube sugar, will give off the aroma of mushrooms when thrown into a hot water cup, but it also has the aroma of tea.Mushroom tea is also used as a way to get in touch with a wonderful creature called 'Cat Lantern', which is mysterious but harmless and is therefore mostly ignored by people in Utopia.

...It is said that some of the envoys of origin force were able to make a deal with Mao Lantern.

Gwen was convinced that the hair ball on the huge glowing tree in the landscape in her mind should be the cat lamp.Although it is much fatter than a normal cat, and it also glows, it is still a cat.

……cat.

Words like cunning hunter, wilderness master, and dangerous creature came to mind.

Gwen thinks that he has nothing like these traits. Although it may be hard to say, he personally thinks that he should be regarded as a lazy person.

"It's Gwen who stayed in the deluxe room today... sir?"

The waiter was a bit embarrassed to tell the difference.

Gwen didn't blame him. After taking a shower, she let her long hair down, and added this unisex shorts, long-sleeved pajamas and soft and beautiful nightgown.There will be no hysterical rants and involuntary insults.

"Yes." Gwen waited with a little expectation.

“Mushroom tea Mushroom tea…”

The waiter bent down and rummaged through the bar for more than ten seconds before finding a brass balance and a wooden box containing mushroom tea cubes.

In order to get closer to the identity of the 'Utopia Train Folklorist' on the ID card she is currently using, Gwen deliberately asked curiously: "Isn't it a brass box?"

The next standard moves of 'I've heard of XX...' haven't been used yet.

The servant's ears stood upright like furry hairs: "That's metal poisoning!"

... The level of common sense in Utopia is a little higher than expected.

Gwen's initial strike was thwarted.

But another purpose was achieved. 200 grams of mushroom tea cubes were packed in a small box converted from a cigarette box and handed over to him.

Holding the box, Gwen walked back.

When passing by the pair of women who were still discussing the secret tome publicly, I pretended to be curious and listened to it (actually, I was really curious), and the dog-eared lady enthusiastically stuffed the booklet into her hand, and was told:

"Read it, this is knowledge..."

The other was probably a Welgian, with cat ears.She said gloomyly: "...This can improve your vision."

"Vision," Gwen repeated with feigned ignorance.

The cat-eared man proudly raised his chin: "It's the expansion of vision. It's like when people see a gun pointed at themselves, they can understand that the 'gun' is a threat, so they can escape. This booklet can make you feel like Discern the 'gun' like a threat from an invisible abyss we shouldn't be discussing."

"Invisible...threat?" Gwen pretended to be an innocent little girl like a boy who was about to vomit, subconsciously biting his lip and frowning.

Rong Enren's elder sister boldly raised the mushroom teacup, and said loudly: "Ghouls, soul-snatching demons, deer head monsters...and..."

She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "...strange stories and curses. You have probably heard of mind flayers?"

…I am.

Gwen smiled, lowered her head and pinched the long hair next to her ears: "I've heard of it, it's a model of strange stories that fits well with the model of popular society."

"Model? Ha! That's real."

Sister Welji the cat girl spent [-]:[-] in the afternoon discussing with you in the classroom whether the two students under the window poked their mouths yesterday, and said with a little sigh: "Lee West Kelder is dead!" Yes, mind flayers did it!"

...yes, I did...wait?who?
Gwen silently recalled her memories, especially the memory of 'Mind Flayer Gwen'.

"The O pill was smashed, the eyes were poked blind, and the chest was cut open... This is brutal."

...Hey, I was there, I did it!

Gwen couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly waved her hands, as if she was frightened by outsiders, said goodbye with a pale face, and then returned to her room.
