Dream Guide - #457 - Chapter 457 Feeling like old friends at first sight
However, something unexpected happened.
Not only was this night not as dark as before, but it was actually so bright that it was dazzling.
While the dusk clouds were still enjoying the remaining warmth of the setting sun, a few stars had already appeared in the sky. As the colorful light gradually faded, a large piece of light red mist appeared in the middle of the sky. The two are carried out at the same time. The lighter the glow, the thicker the haze. There are some dazzling little dots in the light mist, shining with blue or white light.
People couldn’t tell when the night fell. It wasn’t until the entire sky was filled with such light and mist that they were sure that this was the starry sky at night on this island.
The red mist in the sky is diffuse, with a diffuse arc on the outermost edge and a few bright or dark clouds in the middle. At first, Aoki thought it was a cloud, but it wasn’t until Su Huilan reminded him that he realized it was a nebula in the Milky Way.
The stars in the nebula are getting brighter and brighter, and the brightest ones emit dazzling blue light that is so dazzling that when people look at them, it seems like they are looking up at the LED light bulbs on the ceiling.
The spectacular starry sky scenery was a bit suffocating, and people almost forgot about hunger and the chill blowing in the night wind. Everyone held their breath and looked up silently, just like countless sages did when facing the bright stars.
Only Anderson said with emotion: “Ah, such a night is really a good time for fishing. If I could get a pair of fishing rods and go boating on the lake now, what a beautiful scene it would be!”
The sound of chanting could be heard in the distance.
Aoki looked around and saw that under the starry sky, the savages had extinguished the fire and were lying on the ground. The savage wizard also knelt on the ground, holding his scepter high in his hand, and took the lead in chanting incomprehensible prayers. The head of the scepter points to the most dazzling star cluster in the middle of the starry sky. It is like a big bird, flying in the center of the arc-shaped red light mist surrounding the sky. Its wings fan up a storm of stars, and its body emits a colorful glow. .
The crow spread its wings and shouted: “Quah! It’s as cool as when I fly!”
He gave a hearty “meow” for half a moment, looked at the crow, then looked back at the nebulae in the sky, and then put back the second half of his “woo”.
The same chanting sound came from the hillside on the other side, but the distance was slightly farther and their situation could not be seen clearly. Aoki took out the telescope again and looked over there for a while, but didn’t see Situ.
He decided to go now. Su Huilan suggested that she and him go there, while the others stay where they are just in case. The two of them have enough ability to protect themselves. If they encounter danger, escaping will not be a problem.
Qingmu thought for a while and said: “Let’s stay together! We are all in trouble, and it is not appropriate to be separated again. If we get separated, it will not be easy to get back together in the future. And I believe that Situ is not an enemy. To say the least, it’s really If there is a conflict, with the abilities of a few of us and the weapons we carry, we may not be afraid of them.”
He touched the willow branches in his arms and gained a little more confidence.
Petru and others all agreed with him and believed that they should not be separated. Su Huilan said no more, and the group started to head towards Situ’s camp.
The starlight shone down, and although it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves of the forest, compared to the dark hell where there was no light at all the night before, the light at this moment was enough.
The wind gently shook the leaves, making a rustling sound. The insects in the ground chirped. The sound of human feet crunching on the soft ground was mixed with the sound of tapping.
It was only then that everyone felt the coolness of the wind blowing on them, and occasionally one or two drops of cold dew fell, giving a feeling that it was already late autumn and winter was about to begin.
They walked carefully for fear of disturbing the savages. When they approached Situ’s camp, they saw the savages in the camp also prostrate on the ground, mumbling something. At this moment, the person holding a scepter and presiding over the prayer was an older savage. Two Russians were on guard on both sides of the forest, while Situ was resting under a big tree in the forest.
When Aoki and the others approached, they obviously alerted the savages. The savage priest let out a cry, and the savages became nervous and grabbed the weapons on the ground.
The savage priest ran over and handed the scepter to Situ respectfully, but Situ did not accept it. Instead, he patted the savage on the shoulder. The savage relaxed, glanced suspiciously in the direction of Aoki and the others, and then went back to conduct the prayer ceremony. .
Situ just stood there, like a host welcoming distinguished guests, with a spring-like smile on his face, welcoming the arrival of Aoki and his party.
“It’s Mr. Aoki!” Situ’s voice was very magnetic, like a prince on a drama stage, with a handsome figure, sonorous words and a kingly air.
Aoki was slightly startled and said, “Is this the first time we have met? How could Mr. Situ know me?”
Situ smiled heartily and said, “Isn’t it the first time you’ve seen me? How come you recognized me?”
Aoki thought about it and smiled unconsciously. He is a person who doesn’t want to think too much about things, not to mention that this issue is not worth thinking about in the first place. Situ gave him a good feeling. In addition to the natural comfort brought by his appearance, his speech and behavior also made people feel like a spring breeze. When he stands in front of you, whether you knew him or not, you will feel that this is your long-lost old friend.
Su Huilan looked at Situ curiously, and then turned to look at Qingmu. She found that the two men were not similar in facial features, but if you looked at them for a long time, you would have the illusion that they looked a bit similar. She didn’t know why this happened. She thought it was the influence of their subconscious minds. Could it be that people with strong mental powers would bring such illusions to others?
So far, Su Huilan has never met anyone with a stronger spirit than Qingmu, and with just one glance, she was sure that the Situ in front of her had no worse mental power than Qingmu. But the savage’s mental power was also very strong, so why wouldn’t he have such an illusion?
By this time, Situ had already greeted everyone one by one. He was polite to everyone, just like his friends, regardless of status or mental ability. Only when facing Mrs. Larry, Situ showed more respect:
“Madam, I have admired your name for a long time and have wanted to see your face for a long time, but unfortunately it only happened once. Speaking of which, Mr. Jaeger and I had a chance encounter. He is a great scholar, and his views on the Gendaya civilization He has surpassed the current level of human understanding of civilization. Unfortunately, the world is short-sighted and regards him as a scientific heretic. I believe that in the near future, his thoughts will shine again!”
“Thank you!” Mrs. Larry’s voice suddenly choked up, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She only said two words and could no longer say anything else, and her voice was full of gratitude.
She thought of her husband, the German who was even more stubborn than she was, who firmly believed in the existence of the Gendaya civilization and took adventures in the jungles of South America and the islands of the South Pacific again and again. His academic radicalism, especially his theory of biological degeneration, caused great controversy. Not only was he not recognized by the mainstream academic circles, he was also dismissed as a heretic, saying that he was a madman and an anti-human scholar. Even his wife did not understand his stubbornness, and until his death, he was an extremely lonely man.
