“You certainly can’t understand why I chose to give up, right? A person who has tried more than a million times has decided to give up this time. Does this sound absurd?” There was no grief or complaint in Sean’s tone, he just Quietly said, “You can’t understand because you don’t have the memory of more than a hundred years of life and more than 50 million years of trying…
“You’re lucky.”
There are some things that Yueguang really can’t understand, hovering over Xiao En’s eyebrows.
Seeming to be intruded by some secret thoughts, Sean paused for a moment, and only after the undercurrent passed, he continued: “I almost know everything that will happen next.”
“I know there will be an albatross flying over there.” Sean pointed to a patch of sky outside the window. Looking at the moonlight, there is a big white bird gliding between the buildings.
“I know that barman will be dead in three years.”
Before Moonlight could turn his head to look, Sean continued to tell: “There is a flight to Hawaii in an hour, and there is a passenger on the plane who will give half the people on the island the flu.
“There is a brood of scarabs in the stone chamber of the Pyramid of Khaf, and if you are there in seven days, you will see a new brood hatch just in time.
“Two months later, there will be a small earthquake in South America. If you are unfortunately in the underground corridor of Agarta at that time, you will be trapped underground. The movement around…”
Only then did Moonlight realize that Sean was talking about his experiences during those 50 million years.
“I know all there is to know about sailing, and I can even steer a sailboat across the Atlantic Ocean by myself.
“I memorized the shape of all ocean currents for the next twenty years, and I even knew several rain clouds and their entire lives. I know everything about the ocean better than an old blue whale.
“This world is all over my footprints, but guess what?—it’s meaningless! Because after walking the deepest underground and the highest mountain, I can only come to one conclusion…”
“Eternal Night’s Ark… isn’t in this world?” Moonlight interrupted the gradual excitement.
Sean leaned back: “It seems to take more than a million lives before I have the courage to admit it.”
Moonlight shook her head in disbelief. Thinking of what Sean said just now, his mind flew out of the coffee shop.
His field of vision keeps rising, he sees the street, he sees the city, as if more than a million searched lives are overlapped, and he sees countless Sean rushing in this city.
This city is like an anthill, and the ants that are busy in it are all Sean Dickinson.
He blinked, and got out of that terrible illusion, still trying to persuade the existence in front of him that has gone through more than 50 million years: “But, why does Ms. Hershey lie to you?”
“I don’t know.” Sean got up, paid the bill, and walked out of the cafe. “The more I search, the more I find that there are many things I don’t know. So I don’t ask any more questions now.”
“Then what should we do now?” Moonlight couldn’t accept the option of returning to Arkham for a while. It’s like knowing that you have wings, but deciding to bind them forever.
“Enjoy your life, Moonlight.” Sean pushed open the door of the cafe, seeming to see it, “What else can I do?”
He stood in front of the entire city, staring at the concrete ant nest, and said in a calm tone: “I know there is a place where there is a large amount of unclaimed cash, we can take it all out, and then Go buy some stocks.
“Then, let’s forget about it and go to Broadway. I know two of the most beautiful ladies in town are there, and I know they’re full of wild anticipation…
“After getting to know those two ladies, let’s buy the best brandy, whiskey, take steak, red velvet cake, and foie gras, and we’ll board a sailboat for a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. .In the sea, I will take you to meet a family of beluga whales. I also know when and where the most beautiful sunset is. We can fish together, and then I will show you my cooking skills…
“When we’re done with all this, when we come back, believe me Moonlight, we’ll be the richest people in town because of those few stocks we’ve forgotten. After that, we can go to Europe and come and buy manors travel…”
Moved by Sean’s narration, Moonlight became inexplicably looking forward to it.
However, although he knew that Sean would definitely be able to do what he said, and that the most beautiful woman he said must be the most beautiful, but…
The air between them did not appear to be intoxicating.
For the explorers who cannot return, the enjoyment of the world is obviously just a compromise.
“Anyway, just live well.” Sean’s shoulders relaxed. “After living this time, maybe next time, I won’t dream again, write down those things, and then escape from Arkham.”
After saying this, Sean stared at the street, or at the farthest point of the street, the blurry horizon. He seems to have really said goodbye to that quest.
“Accept it may not exist. Live in the moment. Do what you want to do.”
Sean walked forward. UU reading www.uukanshu. com Moonlight followed.
The pianist felt a slight sense of relief. Although Sean said he would no longer pursue it, he was not giving up on himself. He just accepted it and tried to live his life in an interesting way.
Although he has not experienced that endless search, he can feel that this is the first time in such a long time that Sean has really let go of the idea of looking for the “Ark of Eternal Night”.
What people don’t know is that everything changes at this time.
Sean walked through the crowded streets with an unprecedented sense of ease. Suddenly, he stopped again and stared in one direction, and the moonlight also looked there.
They see a traveler. The traveler’s shoes were patched and dusty, and his clothes were washed and faded. He was sitting quietly on a bench, slowly enjoying a piece of bread.
There are many passers-by around, all kinds of things are happening and making all kinds of noises. But he ate his bread slowly and intently, as if that was the only thing in the world right now.
From the aura he radiates, it can be seen that the traveler has surrendered all delusions and resistances. He seems to be on a journey, like one of the few people in the world who has found the answer.
Sean had seen many people in those searching days, but he had to admit that he had rarely noticed such people.
After letting go of that pursuit, he was able to see, and suddenly realized something.
“Moonlight, I… seem to understand.”
“what?”
Sean turned around. It’s hard to describe his expression, as if shrouded in a faint light: “I have traveled almost every road in this world…
“But I haven’t seen that road…the most likely road!”
