The Modern Age of the Mysterious

The moon appears green due to the diffuse reflection of sunlight and the special dust that floats around the moon, which is basic scientific knowledge that even grammar school students understand. The sea is blue, and the moon is green, as it has been since ancient times. Many poets throughout history have written poems about this pale green, dreamlike moon.

It was already dark, and the patients in the Arkham Spiritual Therapy Center were all having dinner, but Sean and Moonlight were still standing on the rooftop. In the distance, the city is noisy, and the green moon is quiet...

Looking up, the moon was reflected in the moonlight eyes, he suddenly frowned, and looked suspiciously at Sean beside him: "Sean, there is me in this world, and there is me in that world—which one is the real one?

"If you think everything in your dreams is real, what are we doing now?"

After pondering for a while, Sean said in a low voice: "I would rather believe that there is real."

Somewhat ironically, Sean felt that this sentence fit inexplicably with the place he was in now. But he knew he wasn't crazy right now.

"You mean, what we are living in now is a dream?" Moonlight suddenly felt the absurdity and shook his head, "I can clearly remember how I came here for more than 20 years, and I still remember the night she left me !

"These are all things I have experienced. How could it be false? How could it be a dream?" He felt a little angry inexplicably, and his tone became more intense, "Sean, have you forgotten all your experiences? Did you come from Where did it come from, and what have you experienced?!"

Asked by the moonlight, those past events suddenly surged up. In the peaceful days of my hometown, in order to pursue my news dream, I came to the other side of the ocean, and traveled with me, but my sister who unfortunately suffered...

"I remember." Sean sighed, "I remember..."

"Then why do you say that what we are experiencing now is a dream?"

Xiao En pondered for a while, and when he looked up, his eyes were a little stubborn: "Moonlight, why do you have to believe in memory? - What if the memory is false?"

"What did you say?"

"Memory, must it be real?"

Moonlight froze. For mental patients, it is a common feeling not to trust their own memory—what remains in memory may not necessarily be true, which has been proven time and again in life.

But like Sean, completely negate all memories? For a moment, he wanted to end this conversation, go back downstairs, and have a quiet dinner...

Suddenly, Sean felt something, his speech speed was a little faster, and his emotions were a little intense: "Yes! Memories can be false. And what imprisons us is the so-called memory!"

The black clouds flowed, and the green moon was covered. Sean suddenly raised his head, his eyes glowing brightly: "I have a strong feeling that I have touched the truth! Our memory is a cage, this world is a cage, we have to escape from here! "

Moonlight also seemed to understand something: "If we are said to be in a cage, then who put us in the cage...?"

The two were silent, neither daring to finish the sentence.

"Then what should we do now?" The doubt and anger that Moonlight experienced just now disappeared suddenly, and only the passion to find the proof of the existence of that world was in his heart.

Sean's gaze passed through the excited moonlight face, passed through the lights of the city, and landed in a place far away.

When the cloud covered the green moon, he finally saw the faint candlelight. Passed through all barriers, fluttering in the distance.

Weak, but firm, as if he has been quietly waiting for himself.

Sean's eyes also became clear all of a sudden. Although the sedative medicine was still taking effect in his body, his eyes had already found their own path.

"Moonlight, are you willing to believe me?"

Maybe it was Sean's state that gave him courage, Moonlight nodded.

"Then let's go to a place where there are answers."

For Sean and Moonlight, leaving the nursing home was not difficult. They created the illusion of falling asleep, avoided all supervision, changed into staff clothes in the locker room, and sneaked out of the center in the dark, while the nurses thought they had fallen asleep...

They walked cautiously through the dark woods. The free air is fresh and cold.

"Shawn, where the **** are we going?" Moonlight asked only when the Arkham Rehabilitation Center for Mental Illness was a little light behind him.

Sean, who was walking ahead, stopped. On the way, Sean discovered a rule—the candlelight in the distance will only appear when the moon is covered by clouds.

It definitely has deep meaning.

Sean turned around and made a "shh" gesture. He looked up at the moon through the branches and leaves, until the moon rolled into the clouds, he said: "I see a light, it is calling me!"

Moonlight let out a soft breath. He remembered that he and Sean were sick friends, so he was inexplicably worried about Sean's words just now—he thought Sean recalled something before, but it turned out that he just saw a little light!

Escaping from the sanatorium is no fun. If they are caught back, they will be locked up in a confinement area and put on restraints! That's definitely not a good feeling...

Not only that, they will be classified as patients with severe symptoms due to their escape behavior, and they will be discharged from the hospital on time.

And he really wanted to leave Arkham someday.

So for him, it is really unwise to follow him just because his patient said, "There is a light calling from a distance". After all, in the madhouse behind you, there are many people who will say they can see the call of the light...

The passion of looking for another world on the rooftop before receded, and now he was a little uncertain about his thoughts.

Sean seemed to see that his companion was in a bad state, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, Moonlight?"

Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Sean frowned: "You think I'm crazy, don't you?"

The moonlight still didn't speak, and the green shimmer shone through the branches, and they hid in the shadows. The pianist raised his head helplessly, his eyes were powerless: "Sean, I really want to leave Arkham as soon as possible. I want to make my life better..."

"I understand!" Sean was not much more optimistic than Moonlight except for that bit of candlelight, he growled a little anxiously, "I totally understand how you feel, Moonlight! Life is like a **** wild beast, no matter what No matter what you do, you will always be knocked to the ground by all kinds of inexplicable things!

"Then, we became more cautious! We couldn't believe that lucky things would happen to us! Even if the ideal world came to us, we didn't dare to go in! We became like being repeatedly shocked by electric shocks in a laboratory The monkey lost the ability to believe!"

The green moon shone brightly, reflecting the surroundings in a strange way. Like escaped prisoners, they dodge searchlights in the shadows. Sean took a deep breath in the woods, and his voice became calmer: "You can go back, Moonlight. Really." Sean stared into the other person's eyes, "I won't blame you.

"And I..." He turned his head and pointed to the direction where the candlelight flickered, and it disappeared again due to the green moon in the sky, "And I will go to the place where the candlelight is.

"I could die for it, really—even if my heart is drained, I'd choose to die in pursuit. We're going to die anyway.

"Goodbye, my brother." Sean said with a smile, looking at his friend who lowered his head. They have experienced a lot in another world, but here they have diverged from the very beginning.

After a while, Moonlight raised his head, his eyes flickering: "Let's go, Sean. Let's go." He pushed Sean's back.

"You're such a good talker," he muttered behind his back.

Sean smiled and continued walking ahead.

To get to that candlelight, they had to go through the city. Soon after, they returned to the city. They were still wearing decent clothes at this time, so the people on the street didn't know that these two guys who were not bad in appearance had actually escaped from the famous Arkham Asylum. Of course, in a sense, they may just have entered a larger one from a small madhouse.

They crossed the busy road, passed the saxophone performers, and passed the obsessed young lovers.

They walked to the vicinity of Silent Street in that world~www.readwn.com~ Silent Street is a street branched off from Central Avenue, and ordinary people will avoid it unconsciously due to the effect of magic spells. The Quest Center is located there.

When passing by here, Sean and Moonlight deliberately stopped to take a look. As a result, they were stunned with just one glance.

In this world where there are obviously no explorers, they saw a group of masked people walking over mightily.
