Tang Yuan did not expect that he would be reminded that he had found the mission target at this time, and the content of this target was a bit confusing. He was obviously playing Lawrence, but he still had to rescue Lawrence. How to rescue him?
Through the contents of the diary, Tang Yuan can somewhat feel that Lawrence's amnesia is not an ordinary disease, and may be related to other supernatural events. He once mentioned that something seemed to be taking over his body, that "that thing" had taken over his body, and that his true consciousness was unknown to where.
Could it be that "rescuing Lawrence" here means letting Lawrence return to his body?
Wait, suddenly Tang Yuan had an idea.
He is still not sure how he will "play Lawrence". Is his soul directly attached to Lawrence's body, or is his own body directly traveling through it, but the system sets him as "Lawrence".
If it¡¯s the former, then does what Lawrence said about ¡°being possessed by something¡± refer to Tang Yuan himself as the player?
Before all the truth is discovered, this is possible. That further raises a question: Was it because Tang Yuan was on a mission and traveled across time that Lawrence "disappeared", or was it because Lawrence was "missing" in the first place that attracted Tang Yuan to come over to solve this problem?
¡°If it was his own body that traveled directly through time, it meant that he was about to find the real Lawrence, whether it was body or consciousness.
No matter what the situation is, Lawrence's situation should be very bad, and Tang Yuan needs to find him.
Let¡¯s do an experiment first to see what kind of situation it is.
Although the prosthetic body used by the deceased is infinitely close to the body of a living person, it is not really alive after all. Therefore, if you are injured and do not use any skills or props related to "healing", the wound will always exist and will not It scabs over over time and certainly doesn't bleed much.
In order to avoid hurting Lawrence, after all, if it is possessed by someone else's body, it is obligated to take good care of it and try not to damage it. Tang Yuan only planned to make a small innocuous incision to try.
He found a piece of broken glass on the ground around him, then spread his left hand and scratched it hard.
There is no pain.
There was a cut on the palm, but there was no bleeding. Generally speaking, this depth should allow a lot of blood to flow out of the palm.
He continued to move towards Lawrence's home, and he didn't look at his palm again until he reached his destination.
No bleeding, no scabbing.
¡¾This is your own body. ¡¿
¡°Then it¡¯s not a case of possessing Lawrence¡¯s body.
[System prompt: Lawrence¡¯s body has been recovered by the system. You only need to focus on finding Lawrence¡¯s true consciousness now. ]
"It's rare. Tang Yuan was a little surprised that the system proactively prompted it.
Is it too difficult to explain in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings?
This made Tang Yuan feel relieved a lot.
By this time, he had arrived at Lawrence¡¯s home. As a university teacher, or three generations of his family had been university teachers, his family¡¯s financial resources were quite strong.
This is a very traditional American-style single-family house. The light blue tiles are arranged in an orderly manner on all four sides of the triangular roof, which is steep and sloping. The entire house has simple lines, the walls are a comfortable-looking light red, and the porch is covered by a roof. There is a small garden behind the house, but it probably hasn't been taken care of for a long time, and weeds have grown wild.
¡¾Lawrence's home: The house looks like a popular style in recent years, and it looks like it should be a new house in recent years. ¡¿
Um¡¡
Lawrence should live here alone, without a wife or children, and his father probably doesn¡¯t live here either.
Tang Yuan took out the key and opened the door.
The living room is wide and open. Walking inside, you can find a staircase leading to the second floor. Generally speaking, this is a duplex two-story building with an attic.
Isn¡¯t it lonely living alone in such a big house?
The furnishings at home are very simple. Apart from daily necessities, there are almost no extra things. The only entertainment facility is probably the TV in the living room.
¡¾Lawrence is a person who doesn't like to spend time on "useless" things. ¡¿
Tang Yuan walked into the kitchen and looked through the cabinets and refrigerator. Except for a bag of cereal, they were empty.
¡¾Lawrence has no pursuit in life, even the trash can is empty, his life seems a bit boring. ¡¿
Tang Yuan agreed. This man didn't care at all about what he ate and ate quite casually. Obviously you can enjoy all kinds of things normallyHe has delicious food, but lives like an ascetic.
There was nothing to see on the first floor, so Tang Yuan went up to the second floor.
¡¾There are bedrooms and study rooms on the second floor, and there are a lot of personal belongings. It is recommended to search them carefully. ¡¿
Tang Yuan went to the bedroom first. Just like the old-fashioned and serious impression left on him before, the style of the bedroom was also the same. Everything was placed in the cabinet meticulously, and the things on the table were neatly arranged. Of course, because he hadn't been home for a long time, there was already a layer of dust on it.
He scanned it with his ECHO eye and found no information, then he went to the study.
¡¾There is important information on the bookshelf, please check it carefully. ¡¿
Lawrence¡¯s bookshelf is very large, filled with densely packed books, most of which are about economics.
Tang Yuan squinted his eyes and observed, there was obviously something that was not a book at the edge of the second row.
¡¾You have obtained information: Peasley Family History 2. ¡¿
This is a black book, open it.
"I write these words in the cabin of the ship on my way home - much of the foregoing will be familiar to those who regularly read scientific magazines. I will hand it all over to my son - the only one who has The family member who still trusted and supported me despite my bizarre amnesia was also the person most likely to know the inside story of my experience¡ªProfessor Wingate Peasley of Miskatonic University. When I tell the story again He was probably the only person in the world who didn't laugh at me that fateful night."
Tang Yuan touched his chin. He remembered that Lawrence had mentioned his family in his diary before. His grandfather also encountered some occult-related things and handed him over to his son. So the author of this passage should be Lawrence's grandfather?
He lowered his head and turned the pages.
very similar.
This tells a bizarre story, which is very similar to what Lawrence is encountering now.
Lawrence's grandfather also suffered from that kind of strange amnesia and saw countless hallucinations, even "as if another consciousness was occupying his body".
? But there is a little difference.
Lawrence only regained consciousness after being in a coma for more than a month, although he later had another seizure.
And his grandfather lost his consciousness for more than five years! After regaining consciousness, this kind of amnesia has never occurred again, but it has been accompanied by bizarre dreams all year round.
Is this a hereditary disease in the family?
The black book records the author¡¯s events from onset to sobriety. He also mentioned what happened in the five years when he lost consciousness¡ªalthough most of them were told to him by others.
In the past five years, he has completely changed. Not only has he started to relearn English and basic knowledge of life, but he has also become interested in all aspects of a certain period of history. Whether it is science, art, language, or folk customs, he has recorded them all. He also has some unexplainable abilities and seems to be able to master knowledge that is almost impossible to know.
However, when he mentioned these things that were beyond ordinary people's knowledge to the people around him, and noticed the extremely surprised expressions on the audience's faces, he changed his mind and said that these were just random jokes.
¡°Compared to Lawrence¡¯s one-sided experience, his grandfather¡¯s records are obviously more comprehensive, and it seems that he can get a glimpse of the secret behind it.
The latter part of these texts is basically the process in which the author begins to find out where he really went during these five blank years.
But it was torn up and scrawled on the last page.
"This is just the imagination of a mentally ill patient, and it is all a lie."
It should have been written by Lawrence himself. He is a serious, old-fashioned and traditional person, and does not believe in these strange things. It is estimated that the content behind it was too shocking, so he took the initiative to tear it up to avoid being seen by others.
But Tang Yuan was a little angry, and he found out the most important thing!
The result is gone!
Dong Dong Dong¡ª¡ª
At this time, there was a knock on the door downstairs. Tang Yuan stuffed the notebook back into the bookshelf and looked out the window alertly.
