In the Nuuk Art Museum, there are bright lights, but strangely, there is no one in the exhibition hall.
Until there was a rush of footsteps at the gate, a figure stumbled in from the outside. He went straight through the empty exhibition hall, ignored the valuable oil paintings on the wall, and did not touch the gold wares and ornaments in the counter, so he ran all the way to the west side of the exhibition hall where the Inuit handicrafts were hanging.
He reached for the top woodcarving, which was a mask with exquisite workmanship and mysterious color. However, the visitor didn't mean to cherish it at all. He rudely stuffed it into his handbag and then turned to run outside.
But just as he turned around, a voice came from a distance, "it's rare to come back. Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The visitor felt stiff, but he didn't stop. He still ran towards the gate. His car was parked in the parking lot of the museum. He just had to go through the door and run another 20 meters.
The next moment, however, there was a gunshot in his ear, and then there was a sharp pain in his leg. The passer-by fell to the ground, and the bag with the woodcarving also fell to the ground.
"Tut Tut, they are all old friends, and I don't want to do that, but it's not polite for you to take my things and leave without saying a word." The voice continued.
The man who fell to the ground didn't open his mouth, but struggled to climb up to his handbag again and took out the woodcarving mask from inside. Then he put his finger into the mouth of the mask and pressed it down. The forehead of the woodcarving immediately opened and a small oval stone rolled out from inside.
There is a five pointed star carved on it, and in the center of the five pointed star is an eye. Someone raises the stone and talks to the person on the second floor.
"Oh, old seal, really? You actually hid the old seal in my Museum. I have to say that it's really powerful. I sent someone to search your clinic and school office more than once, but they couldn't find it. I didn't expect that it was under my eyes. " The speaker stepped down the stairs on crutches.
There was a look of despair in the intruder's eyes. He just held the stone called old seal in his hand, just like his life-saving straw.
After that, however, he heard the man on crutches jokingly say, "don't be silly, doctor, it may be useful to deal with those deep divers and Kunyang, and it can also keep you a good night's dream, but I'm just an ordinary person like you, and this thing has no effect on me at all."
It was no one else who broke into the art museum. It was Dr. Baker, whom Zhang Heng and Song Jia had visited. Hearing that, he dropped his hand, but still holding the old seal, and finally said.
"We've known each other for more than 20 years. Not counting the Chinese couple, you are the most brave and determined person I've ever met. To this day, I still can't believe that you will choose to surrender to that monster."
"Why, are you going to influence me with your eloquent mouth?" The man on crutches asked, "don't think of me as one of those stupid crazy believers. My head is very clear. There must be someone who understands the whole situation. This is the agreement between me and the great being."
"Agreement, or your own delusion? That monster doesn't seem to be the type who will make an appointment with people. And you know your own situation. If you really have no mental problems, why do you often come to my clinic for psychological counseling after that scientific research investigation? " The doctor was breathing heavily, and the sharp pain in his leg made his forehead full of sweat.
The man on crutches fell into silence after a moment and said again, "anyway, we will all fall into eternal happiness in the end. It's just a matter of one day earlier and one day later. It doesn't make much difference. I just want to understand this matter recently. In order to avoid falling into greater madness, I've been going out of Jianju according to your advice all these years, Cut off the Internet, do not read newspapers, and do not communicate with anyone outside, but how long can we last? I heard that its name has become a household name outside, that is, in Greenland, an isolated place, you and I can last until now. "
The crutcher paused and then said, "I regret participating in the scientific research investigation all the time. I don't think your situation is very good. Although you have closed the clinic, you are still doing part-time work in the school. There are even foreign students in your school. You must have a very hard life."
"Fortunately, when I really can't, I will put cotton balls in my ears, and I don't surf the Internet anymore." Dr. Baker said, "in fact, we should all be glad that we didn't read the relevant books or hear its name before we met it. Otherwise, at the first sight, we would have gone mad and become crazy believers."
"The more you know, the closer you get to madness. The person who came up with this setting is a genius," muttered the crutcher, "so that sober people will never know the truth."
Probably because of sympathizing with each other, after finishing this sentence, the two people in the Hall fell into silence again.But soon, the man on crutches said again, "doctor, you ask yourself that I've taken care of you enough these years. I stopped those crazy believers who wanted to absorb you. You refused to hand over the old seal, and I'll go with you. Even recently, you and our enemies, the Inuit shamans, have been very close, and I've kept one eye open and one eye closed, so why Do you want to test my bottom line again and again?
"Yes, I can restrain those crazy believers to a certain extent, but if they know that you have taken the old seal from me, we will both be overwhelmed. You and I have seen the scenes of those people's madness. I don't want to be like that, so I can only apologize to you." The man on crutches raised his shotgun as he spoke.
"Wait a minute," the doctor raised an arm to block his face. "I didn't mean to steal the old seal while those crazy believers were not here. Although I admit that I do have this consideration, we have experienced such a thing before, such as earthquake, red aurora. With these abnormal weather disasters, its activities will become more frequent, like ours I may not be able to survive, and this time is different from the last time. Just three days ago, I had a very terrible dream that it ran out of the palace below. By then, the whole world will be destroyed. We need to do something before it is too late. "
