Chapter 1485

"Why should I die?"

Angel stood in the light and shadow communication room. Alex looked at the floor. There was no shadow. He seemed to understand something and said, "I'm sure no one in Gusteau has a deeper understanding of the continent. I guess you'll leave Gusteau for the holy city."

"So, in your eyes, as long as I leave Gusteau, I will die?"

Alex nodded: "that's true. Since Mr. pat is not dead, can you tell me why you came back?"

Angel blinked in his eyes and asked, "do you want to know the truth about those people's deaths?"

Alex shook his head without hesitation: "No."

"Since you don't want to know, why do you ask me why I came back?" Angel smiled at Alex.

Alex was silent for a moment. Since angel asked, is the murder really related to leaving Gusteau? Is someone slaughtering the leavers, or what did the leavers find and someone won't let them leave?

The massacre can't be without trace, so they must have found something.

But what did you find?

Alex looked at the smiling angel and finally whispered, "so, is it a cage?"

Angel raised his eyebrow: "it seems you're not stupid."

Alex had said Gusteau was like a bird cage. If you go out, you'll break your wings. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to deduce the answer from angel's question and answer.

However, Alex did not fully believe what angel said. For him, angel is also a mystery, misleading himself and possibly. However, Alex just kept these thoughts in his heart and didn't reveal them.

"When I crossed the river, I was a barrier that I couldn't leave. I couldn't go forward. There was no way from heaven to earth. I came back." Angel shrugged.

After hearing this, Alex said nothing, but thought in his heart.

"Speaking of it, you are still not curious about what is outside Gusteau?"

When angel asked this question, he unconsciously recalled Alex's answer before. At that time, Alex definitely said he was not curious. He was more curious about... The world than this.

At that time, Alex raised his head and seemed to look into the boundless void through the ceiling.

At that moment, angel seemed to see a fellow traveler.

He made a turn in Gusteau and confirmed the answer. While the others were looking down to pick up sixpence on the ground, Alex saw the moon in the sky.

This is an intellectual who looks to distant places.

However, the knowledge seeker also needs to be flexible. If you only breathe the wind from a distance and don't lower your head to pick up the bread falling on the ground, the knowledge seeker will also starve to death.

So angel asked this question again. He wanted to know whether Alex was a visionary with high ambitions or a real knowledge seeker chasing the moon.

Facing angel's question, Alex still didn't think about it and said the answer without hesitation.

But this time the answer is different from the previous one.

"A little curious."

Angel took a deep look at Alex: if one day he can get out of this cage, maybe he will really become a colleague in the pursuit of truth. Of course, the premise is that he has talent and opportunity.

"I'm also curious. After all, I can't seem to know the location here without cracking these secrets." Angel smiled at Alex and said, "why don't we talk?"

Alex didn't answer, but he took a small bottle of new lamp oil from the box and poured it into the lamp. In terms of the consumption rate of lamp oil, it can be maintained for at least one night.

Alex expressed his support with action.

Angel found this Alex more and more interesting.

"What do you think is the meaning of this cage?" Angel raises the first question.

He asked Alex because angel was an outsider and he was a passer-by who inadvertently broke into the cage. Alex is the client. He lives in Gusteau and should know something.

Alex pondered for a moment. He obviously knew what Angel wanted to ask and said directly, "I have lived in Gusteau for three years. I basically study the scriptures with father brunlang and rarely leave the church. I don't know what the secret of Gusteau is."

"Then you didn't find anything strange?"

"I don't know." Alex himself is actually an eccentric. He pays more attention to himself and less attention to others.

Alex's answer is no, which means he may have found something strange, but he didn't pay attention to it himself. Angel understands this.

"What do you think of it?"

Alex thought for a moment, not from the meaning of the cage itself, but from the cruya church.

"According to the documents I saw in the church, the cruya Church in Gusteau has existed for 200 years. Moreover, in these 200 years, the holy city has sent clergy to the church. Until five years ago, the road to the holy city was cut off, so the clergy did not come."

"The road to the holy city is broken?" Angel looked at Alex suspiciously. If it was broken, why did Knight Raven and others go to the holy city again?

"The main road is broken. If you cross mountains and take more dangerous or remote mountain roads, you can still reach the holy city. However, it will be very troublesome, which leads to the fact that the townspeople don't go to the holy city in recent years. Therefore, there are not many deaths in a series of cases." After Alex explained, he continued the previous topic and said, "so if the literature does not deceive me, the cage was formed in five years."

Having said the time when the cage was formed, Alex began to analyze the events recorded in the book in the past five years.

However, Gusteau itself is not big, and no major events have happened in the past five years, except for this series of murders.

However, the current evidence shows that the homicide is the aftereffect of the cage, which is definitely not the reason for the formation of the cage.

So Alex was a little embarrassed.

"Since this road is impassable, it's better to think from another angle." Angel suddenly said, "think about it. What if the literature is false?"

Alex: "people who record documents shouldn't have to lie about it?"

"It's really unnecessary, but all this, including the whole town of Gusteau, is a fraud?"

As soon as Alex's pupils shrink, if everything is really a scam, then the existence of the cage is born for this scam! But why?

"If I remember correctly, do you have amnesia?"

Alex nodded: "I was adopted by father brenlang three years ago, and my memory is only in these three years."

"Did father brunlang tell you where you came from?"

"Father brunlang didn't know. He just said that I floated along the river. I was unconscious at that time."

Floating down the river? Angel raised his eyebrow: "so, you may be an outsider like me? That is to say, you can't be sure that the previous history of Gusteau is true after you come to Gusteau."

Alex's throat moved. "I'm not sure, but I don't think it's necessary to make up this history."

"In your opinion, it is unnecessary. But in my opinion, the possibility is not small." Angel stretched out his hand and naturally formed an illusion of a sand table over his palm. "Since the meaning of the cage exists, it is difficult to find it now. It's better to start with the cage itself."

Alex looked at the strange sand table illusion and moved his mind to ask what it was, but finally he pressed his doubts in his heart and didn't ask.

"In my opinion, there are two forms of cage." Angel pointed, and the undulating mountains and forests immediately appeared on the sand table illusion. At this time, a translucent glass box appeared above, and one of the mountains was put into the box.

"This glass box is the first form of cage. It is a continent, cut off an area, so that the people in the box can't go out."

As for the second form, angel directly removed the glass box and left this sand table out of thin air: "this sand table itself is the second form. This cage is an artificially created area. It has no basis, but a box garden created by an extraordinary life."

Angel put away the illusion and said to Alex, "if the cage is the first form, the history here may indeed be true. Only five years ago, the cage appeared and cut off the communication between Gusteau and the outside world."

"But if the cage is the second form, everything here may be false, including the so-called history."

After hearing angel's words, Alex flashed some memory fragments in his mind. He seemed to see a cage in the dark

In fact, when angel said this, he suddenly thought of something in his heart.

If the cage is the second form, then creating such a cage must be for a special thing or a special person.

Angel spent a long time in Gusteau this day. He noticed that the people living here actually had no doubt about where they lived. They deeply believe that they are the aborigines who have lived here for many years.

The only exception is Alex.

This man has lost his memory. He is the only one who doesn't know the past and may even be an outsider.

If the cage is the second form, will Alex be the meaning of the cage?

Of course, this is only angel's guess. Even if it is the second form, it may be someone else or something else.

"It's my thoughtlessness. I agree that the cage may be these two forms. However, I think it's too early to try to figure out the creator's mind with my ability." Alex paused: "I think we can start with the truth of the murder."

Alex did not mention the previous episode, nor did he say the memory flashed in his mind, but talked about the previous murder.

"This series of dead, including Raven knights, died because they wanted to leave Gusteau subjectively or objectively."

"Once they leave Gusteau, they are bound to find out the truth."

"Someone is trying to stop them from discovering the truth. Maybe if you find the person who killed them, you can know something?"

Alex's proposal is a positive logic, but——

"What if the murderer is not a person, or even does not exist in a cage?"
