Chapter 005 Departure
There are still no words, but those intricate lines quickly change under the gaze of the eyes
Redirecting my gaze to the book, I silently commanded the chip in my heart: "Detect and record everything that happens!"
Silently aligning his gaze with his memories, Raymond, fully focused, began to recall as commanded by the ancient and authoritative voice echoing in his mind
Abnormal audio and video data, no records found, re-establishing the task
Chirp, chirp... chirp...
Time correction completed, interval difference sixty hours
Time slowly passes, and in the absence of the possibility of assistance from chips, Raymond begins to leaf through the symbols on the pages of his memory book
Listening to the conclusions of the chip investigation, Raymond's eyes widened increasingly, and his face turned pale.
This seemingly heavy booklet contains only nine pages, but only after memorizing the symbols on the first page will other symbols appear on the subsequent page. If one directly flips the page, the lines of various colors will not appear on the page in view, resulting in a complete blank.
These sturdy roots, along with the canopy above, gradually made their way into the forest, disappearing from Raymond's sight
Accompanied by the sound of nursery rhymes emanating from the pages in the treetops, the tree, supported by its main roots and the books, began to move at an increasingly rapid pace
His palm still maintained the posture of wanting to turn the pages, but in his perception, he had already lost control of his body
Feeling quite speechless, Raymond straightened his posture, gazing at the large tree in the distance, as well as the leaves that had reappeared beneath the roots, entwined and singing nursery rhymes around the tree. Raymond shook his head.
When the sound of the chip disappeared, Raymond understood that he had been trapped in that strange condition for sixty hours
In Raymond's vision, only the lines on the pages of the book remain
The four peculiar characters that became completely clear on the cover caught Raymond's eye, while a low, aged, and authoritative whisper reached his ears: "Please pay attention ... ... "
Task established, beginning backtracking
Like an earthquake, the unsteady Raymond watched as a main root, thicker than his waist, emerged from the soil, lifting the entire tree into the air. The tree seemed to grow many feet, slowly moving along the ground.
Time distortion, recalibrating
Task established, beginning to record
These colorful lines intertwined and twisted together, gradually forming a peculiar symbol of www.hetushucom.com, which came into Raymond's view
Raymond, with a furrowed brow, gazed at the large tree, as the aged face on the trunk gradually faded away
Tentatively lifting the cover, there was no difficulty at all; the first page appeared in view.
In an instant, the sphere magnified in Raymond's line of sight. Within Raymond's somewhat stiff vision, the sphere composed of various colors began to rotate, with each colored line becoming exceptionally thick.
The little grass in sight no longer dances with the wind
The parchment book placed on the ground still retains its original unopened appearance, with a dark cover that bears no text whatsoever
His thoughts were somewhat chaotic, and shaking his somewhat dazed head, Raymond picked up the book from the ground after his sore arms had recovered
As Raymond stood up, he saw the large tree swaying as well, and at the same time, the tree's aged voice echoed: "Little one, the time has come. I must leave, and you can stay here for no more than two days"
His arm remained in the position he had intended to reach out, but the sensation of soreness and swelling throughout his body caused Raymond to cry out in pain
From the cracked earth, countless roots emerged from underground, with the fine roots tightly embracing the main root, and together with the thick main root, they broke through the soil.
A faint fragrance, a slightly tipsy breeze, and the grass in front begins to sway again
Raymond, with a vacant expression in his eyes, watched helplessly as the large tree disappeared into the forest, pursing his lips
Since even the great trees can speak and the leaves can sing, how many more astonishing events might occur in this magical world, Raymond felt he could accept it
There are no words on this page; it is filled entirely with intricate and chaotic lines. However, the colors of these lines are varied and bizarre, with no two lines sharing the same color
My thoughts are somewhat chaotic, with disordered and unstructured memories flooding in one after another
one, two, three ... ...
These lines of various colors slowly floated out from the pages of the book, writhing and gradually rising, gathering together, ultimately transforming into a sphere that appeared to be woven from silk threads
However, the chip's detection results for this book indicate that the entire book emits a faint radiation while Raymond is viewing it, which has a certain effect on his body
But the ground beneath quickly began to tremble, and under Raymond's astonished gaze, the talking tree slowly retracted all its branches towards the trunk
The alarm of the chip continued to echo, yet Raymond felt as if he had lost control of his body, his gaze imprisoned on this book
Moreover, when Raymond finished flipping through this book, it was impossible for the chip to record its contents, as everything within the book could not be captured by the chip. Under the chip's scanning, the entire book appeared completely blank, and even the four peculiar characters on the cover, which Raymond could see, could not be recorded or saved by the chip.
It was already midnight, and Raymond saw the leaves at the base of the tree that sang nursery rhymes, wondering where they had gone
That aged yet commanding voice echoed in Raymond's mind when this symbol appeared: "Please remember..."
The symbols formed by combinations of lines, once successfully memorized by Raymond, will be deeply etched in his mind. Only after remembering the first three symbols does the fourth symbol appear on the third page of this book
Based on the position of the symbols on the page, Raymond could deduce that there should be three symbols on the third page. However, when he was unable to remember the fourth symbol, the other symbols on that page did not appear at all.
With some regret, Raymond closed the book and silently recalled the symbols he had already memorized. After confirming that he had thoroughly remembered these three symbols, he reopened his eyes and lifted his head.
The faint fragrance that lingered at the tip of my nose has also vanished
The slightly warm breeze from just now is no longer felt
Certainly, it seems that a process is still needed to help him understand these matters
Uncertain how much time had passed, a faint, aged, and authoritative voice echoed in my mind: "The mental will test has been passed, congratulations..."
There is one symbol on the first page, and there are two on the second page
With the emergence of this sound, it seems that Raymond's control over his body has been restored
Slowly retracting and massaging the arm that was experiencing muscle spasms, Raymond, somewhat astonished, commanded the chip: "Number 1! Retrieve all the video footage from earlier!"
Time seems to have come to a complete standstill, and everything has come to a halt
Some heavy books have a somewhat warm and smooth feel when held
Memorizing these symbols, time seemed to stand still, and the body also required a significant amount of energy. It was only under the prompt of the chip that Raymond realized that merely memorizing three symbols had consumed nearly ten hours of his time
The thick book on the ground slowly opened by itself in front of Raymond, and with the gentle breeze, the first page of this book, which had never been opened by Raymond before, came into his view
The main subject exhibits abnormal behavior, unable to trace back
Is this considered as it having run?
