“Fatty,” Jiang g suddenly said as he looked at him, “How about you climb back up the tree?”
Following the dire where Ran and Su Xiaoxiao were heading, Fatty also followed Jiang g. The deeper they went into the forest, the more they could sense something strange about the pce.
At first gnce, every tree here seemed the same, but the lohey looked, the more a strange feeling would suddenly surge up, as if the trees were ging.
This feeling immediately caught Jiang g's attention, and even Fatty noticed it.
They casually picked a tree and circled around it. The lohey looked, the strohe eerie sensation became, as if the tree was stantly ging.
“Doctor,” Fatty swallowed nervously, “Do you feel it?”
“Mhm,” Jiang g rubbed his and said, “In my subscious perception, this tree is stantly ging, but my eyes tell me it hasn’t ged.”
“Yes, yes,” Fatty nodded repeatedly. He didn’t have as big a vocabury as Jiang g, but he could clearly feel the sensation Jiang g described.
This tree... was stantly ging, and this ge was irreversible, noitive.
At least, that’s how it felt to the two of them.
“Stop looking,” Jiang g interrupted Fatty, then started walking in the designated dire. “Let’s catch up with them first and go see that stoform.”
Along the way, Fatty closely followed Jiang g’s side. Even though Jiang g pined a few times that Fatty was blog the way, Fatty shamelessly brushed it off.
“Doctor,” Fatty said proudly as he leaned in, “Don’t you feel like we’re one and the same?”
Jiang g squinted his eyes, carefully sing his surroundings while speaking softly, “If you had said that before you plimented me on being an orphan, I might have believed it.”
Grumbling, Fatty closed his mouth shut.
Ever since apanying Jiang g, Fatty felt like his nerves had beuch stronger. In the past, if he entered something like this, he would’ve been too scared to think, his mind going bnk. But now, although he was still scared, it was just a bit of fear.
Other than fear, everything else retty normal. Even though he was being watched by several pairs of eyes st night, especially the old woman's gaze, he actually fell asleep quite soundly.
If this was before he met the Doctor, he wouldn’t even dare to imagi.
He had evolved!
Or rather, progressed!
He could even bicker with Jiang g in the midst of dahese were as he performed unsciously, but after having warm versations with Jiang g, his nerves would rex and he wouldn’t feel so tense.
“Doctor,” Fatty lowered his voice, “Should we hurry up? With Su Xiaoxiao leading them, they’ll probably be much faster than us.”
Jiang g shook his head, “No, it’s too quiet here. If we walk too fast, we’ll be noticed.”
“Then Doctor, they should’ve arrived at the giant stoform before us. But if they get there first and don’t find us, won’t that expose us?” Fatty tilted his head and asked.
“Not necessarily,” Jiang g said. “After all, no one knows how strahe giant stoform really is, or what kind of effects it will produce.”
“Su Xiaoxiao’s description is probably just about the surface. I have always felt that the stoform is not so simple,” Jiang g tinued.
“ something that revive corpses just be as it shows on the surface?” Fatty thought Jiang g might have gone crazy.
“Fatty,” Jiang g suddenly asked, “What do you think of the people in Bckstoown?”
Fatty froze for a moment, then stammered, “Aren’t they... the things that were, uh, assimited?” He blinked, seemingly not uanding the purpose of Jiang g’s question, “What else could they be?”
“Do you think they know they are the products of assimition?” Jiang g asked again.
“They... should knht?” Fatty’s tone shifted slightly. From his expressioried to sound assured, but his voice betrayed him.
He hesitated.
This question was fual, a matter of either-or, there was no room for doubt.
Fatty became more serious.
Soon, he figured out the reason why Jiang g had asked this.
It ed the iions of the things in Bckstoown.
Not giving Fatty more time to think, Jiang g tinued, “Fatty, I think they probably know. Even if they didn’t know before, over time, they would feel that this body is different from their old one.”
“And most importantly, they still have the memory of that stoform.”
“I think if they’ve fotten the memory of being killed and resurrected, then their memory about the straoform should also have been stripped away.” Jiang g said. “They have no reason to remember it.”
Fatty thought for a while and then nodded. “That’s right, if their previous memories were erased, then they shouldn’t have any memory of the stoform.”
“Right,” Jiang g said, “Now, let’s assume the people in Bckstoown know that they’re not truly human. They’re just monsters with human bodies aions. Then...” Jiang g suddenly looked at Fatty, “Why do you think they would want to destroy the curse?”
“Put it another way, they’re able to survive only because of this so-called curse. If the curse is broken, what will they bee?”
Hearing this, Fatty slowly widened his eyes and looked at Jiang g in horror. “They... they’ll turn bato corpses!”
“Maybe,” Jiang g gave an ambiguous answer, “But I don’t think it’ll be anything good. To be blunt, it’s probably worse than now. At least they survive, but if the curse is broken, they...”
Jiang g didn’t finish his sentence, but Fatty already uood what he meant.
“So, their goal isn’t to destroy the curse at all?” Fatty said. “What they told us about keeping the fme in the lighthouse burning is all a lie!”
“It’s a lie, but I guess keeping the fme burning in the lighthouse must be them in some way,” Jiang g grangely at Fatty. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t go to such lengths.”
“What be?” Fatty swallowed nervously.
“Think about it from their perspective,” Jiang g pushed aside an obstrug branch, and his pace slowed down. “If you were them, what would you want most?”
“I want to escape from Bckstoown! I don’t want to stay in that dark pce for the rest of my life!” Fatty suddenly realized something aedly said, “So Doctor! They just want to escape from the prison-like Bckstoown, not break the curse!”
“Breaking the curse... and esg from Bckstoown on the sea are two different things!”
Jiang g nodded, and his senteunned Fatty. “Fatty,” he raised his eyelids and slowly said, “Do you really think that stoform was something they discovered by act?”
