Chapter 289 Chapter 289

There was another violent earthquake.

Flynn leaned against the wall to avoid being knocked down. Looking at Hannah and Bryce, one was hurriedly holding the coffee machine, and the other was drinking coffee calmly.

"What is going on? Is this a weird thing?" Flynn asked in panic.

Hannah, who was holding the coffee machine, didn't even turn her head and said, "Probably not. Maybe the experiment was successful."

"Experiment? What experiment?"

"An experiment to eliminate weirdness from this world." Bryce raised his chin proudly. "This is a great experiment that can save the world. It is our honor to contribute to this experiment."

Flynn still looked confused. He didn't understand, but he probably understood one thing: "If this experiment succeeds, there will be no more strange things in the world in the future?"

"No, there will still be some, but there is a way to completely separate the weird from the ordinary people." Hannah took advantage of the coffee machine to stop shaking and quickly filled herself with a new cup. "What to do next depends on the results of this experiment."

"Experiment...Are you also part of the experiment?"

"right."

"Little white mouse?"

Hannah looked at him and said, "What's wrong with being a guinea pig that God is always watching over?"

Flynn took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling.

He does not believe in God. His grandparents' generation were all devout believers, but his father's generation was only half-believing in God. Among the young people of Flynn's generation, only half have faith in God.

There are even many people who go to church regularly, not for faith, but for socializing.

Everyone is like, "Although I don't really believe in this stuff, this is the history of this country, and everyone seems very pious, so I'll just pretend to be one." It's easier to socialize when you show that you have certain characteristics in common with others, such as "we're all believers of a certain religion."

The reason for not believing is that one knows that gods do not exist at all.

Science always stands in opposition to metaphysics.

But after the emergence of the weird, everything changed. Many young people believed in the Seker Cult, and many older people changed their beliefs. But these changes were made because they had faced the weird, had been helped by the Seker Cult, or wanted to become stronger.

Flynn is a very lucky man. He has never encountered anything strange since the Red Sun. He has only seen it on the news. Young Americans believe in living in the present.

Even if there are earthquakes, plagues, and countless casualties, as long as no tragedy happens around them and their lives are not affected, they will definitely not change their plan to attend the swimming pool party and will enjoy every day.

Flynn is such a typical young man, who smiles as he watches the weird events in the news, posts some weird comments on the website, and ignores everything else once he turns off his computer, just playing.

He had heard about the madness of the faith of the Seker Cult, but this was the first time he had faced it head-on.

I would rather be God's guinea pig.

Mice are consumables. If you use one, it will die.

"I want to go home." Flynn sat on the ground against the wall and said dejectedly.

He had already lost confidence in the two clergymen of the Seker Cult in front of him.

What future can two little white mice who volunteered to be the experiment have if they follow them?

The earthquake stopped.

Hannah and Bryce looked at each other, one took out her book again and floated in the air, while the other held her battle axe tightly.

"We're going out. Do you want to follow us or stay in the room?" Hannah asked.

Bryce: "Let's be honest. We are not sure where we are, but no matter where we are, there is absolutely no safe place. You may be fine if you stay here, but we may not be able to protect you if you follow us. But we will try our best."

"I..." Flynn hesitated.

"Look out the window," Hannah whispered.

Flynn and Bryce immediately turned their heads and saw that the scenery outside the window had changed. Originally, there should have been clean roads and other shops, but now, there was a vast expanse of snow outside.

The cold wind blew into the house through the window gaps, and Flynn shivered from the cold.

Hannah had obviously prepared for the severe cold. She took out some thick clothes from a large box and threw them to Flynn and Bryce.

The two of them immediately put on their heavy clothes, but even so they could still feel the biting cold.

Seeing Flynn huddled in the corner and shivering, Hannah said, "Forget it, you'd better not go."

I guess I would freeze to death outside if I didn't walk far.

In addition to having special abilities, the awakened ones are also much stronger than ordinary people. Simply put, Hannah and Bryce are more resistant to freezing than Flynn.

Even though Flynn was wearing clothes of the same thickness, he still shivered and wished he could wrap himself in a quilt, but Hannah and Bryce were already cold enough.

"There are a few quilts in the bedroom. If you feel cold, go lie down on the bed." Hannah looked out the window and said, "If there are not enough, we can go outside to find some firewood."

This remote town still has the old-fashioned fireplaces, which can be used to burn firewood.

"Don't bother with that, just chop up the chairs." Bryce swung his battle axe, chopped up the wooden tables and chairs, threw them into the fireplace and started a fire.

Anyway, everyone here has moved away and will never come back, so all the things left behind are unwanted waste, which can be recycled.

Flynn folded his hands and went to the fireplace to warm himself.

"You guys are going out?"

"Yes, go explore." Hannah walked to the door and said to Flynn, "We will be back in an hour. If you don't come back, don't look for us, just wait here."

Flynn: “Okay.”

Then he thought of his friends and asked, "Will they encounter the same situation as us?"

"Well... I'm not sure." Hannah thought for a moment, packed a few thick clothes and threw them to Bryce.

Bryce complained about the extra luggage, but still carried it obediently on his back.

"If I see them, I'll bring them back."

"Um...thank you."

The two walked out of the room and took in the scenery outside.

Looking around, there were unfamiliar buildings everywhere, and most of them had collapsed and were covered with thick snow. As far as the eye could see, it was all white.

In this vast expanse of white, a man in a black robe with half of his face exposed stood in the distance, looking at them quietly.

Seeing that person, Hannah and Bryce's eyes lit up, and they hurried forward to salute: "Greetings, respected Lord Kret."

Kailett hummed calmly and looked at the buildings behind them: "Except for the house with anchor points buried in advance, the other houses were not brought here."

"Yes."

“Is anything missing from the house?”

"Nothing was found. Not only the building, but also the furniture and furnishings inside, and even the coffee beans in the bowls were all intact," Hannah replied respectfully.

Bryce looked at her: "You don't count."

Hannah's lips twitched. "I was just describing it. It's roughly the same. It should be the same."

"Really?" said Carrett. "Do you remember your mission?"

"Explore the world, see how far you can go, and try to fight the local weirdness," Hannah replied.

Kailett: "There are only three monsters left in this area, of levels C, D, and E. If it were in the original world, monsters of this level would be a piece of cake for you. The other one is..."

"We're trying to see if our magic weapons and potions can be used here, right?" Bryce looked at Carrett excitedly.

Kailett: "Yes. If you are faced with the weirdness from our world, you can give it a try. If you can't defeat it, just call my name. If nothing unexpected happens, I will come quickly."

"yes!"

"I hope you make it back alive."

The two believers bowed their heads and said, "It is our honor to serve you."

"By the way, how is that ordinary person doing after coming to this world? Does he feel uncomfortable in any way?"

Hannah: "No, he just looked scared because of the sudden change of environment. As for other effects, we need to observe them. We will return to the house in an hour and check his physical condition. As an ordinary person, he is more afraid of the cold than us."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Kailett disappeared.

"Should we go separately or together?" Hannah asked.

Bryce thought for a moment and said, "Let's act together first. We don't know the situation around us yet."

"Well, then..." Hannah looked around and pointed at the tallest building she could see. "Let's go over there and take a look. It's a different world. I'd be willing to die just to come here."

Her eyes were bright, full of excitement about exploring the unknown world.

"Although other worlds are attractive, I prefer to stay in a familiar environment and live a good life," said Bryce.

The two of them walked on the thick snow and went far away.

*

The car stopped on the road, and Jenny, who was in the driver's seat, looked desperate.

She had been driving on this road for who knows how long, but she had never reached the end, unable to go to the town, nor could she return to where the tree fell. They were stuck on a road that would repeat itself forever.

"I'm so hungry..." Paul lay in the back seat holding his bag. There were still tear marks on his face. He had cried once.

"Be strong, at least we didn't encounter anything strange..." Sarah stopped talking here.

Did you encounter any weirdness? If you didn't, you wouldn't be stuck in this repetitive journey.

All I can say is that the weirdness hasn't attacked them yet.

"How long have we been stuck here?" Jenny inquired.

Sarah shook her head. "I don't know. The time on your phone stopped, and the time on the car stopped too. It feels like it's been at least six or seven hours."

She was not sure either, because in a panic, her perception of time was distorted.

Maybe the actual time is longer or shorter?

"The sun is always in the sky." Sarah looked at the scenery outside. Although the sun could not be seen directly in the forest, the brightness of the sunlight falling on the ground did not change at all.

"One hundred years later, or two hundred years later, someone will find the bodies of three people starving to death in a car parked on the road..." Paul sobbed and said pitifully, "I shouldn't have gone out today, Mom. I will never run around again."

Sarah and Jenny felt very upset.

One of the purposes of this trip was to celebrate Jenny's birthday. Her birthday always falls during the spring break at school, so her friends took her out to help her celebrate.

And it was Sarah who initiated this activity every time.

"I'm so sorry..." the two girls said at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"It's snowing!" The fat boy Paul Yagen didn't listen carefully to what they said. He stared at the snowflakes outside the car window with his eyes wide open in shock.

How can there be snow in this season?
