The wooden house...has a lot of mushrooms growing on it.

It has obviously been uninhabited for a long time. It is covered with layers of moss and vines, and plump mushrooms are clustered on the left and right. Some of them are very delicious, like the rocks on the seaside covered with shellfish and seaweed.

Set against the surging mist, it looked particularly cold and strange...and a bit ridiculous.

"This is not a Rachka house," Terry said.

He tried hard to use serious topics to push the childish argument out of everyone's memory, and Yis was particularly cooperative.

"Like the Brittan huts on Mount Singa," he said.

The wooden houses of the Lachika people have high and sloping ridges to protect them from rain, and they proudly rise upwards. The walls are made of different woods with beautiful patterns and painted with different colors. The building in front of them,

But it is square, thick and solid, and the wooden walls are neatly put together... so neatly that it doesn't look like a human being, but more like it was made by a machine.

But looking at the appearance, it does look more like the ancient wooden house of the Brittans on the Source Star.

In order to prevent moisture, half a person's height is raised below the wooden house. The wooden boards on the steps have rotted in the too humid air. However, the house itself is made of whole tree trunks, which is still intact. The inside of the house even looks quite dry.

But there is still a strange, mildew-like smell floating around.

"Portable dehumidifier." Terry looked at the wall and knew it. "It should have stopped running not long ago."

Then he saw the big round metal mushroom in the corner on the other side... which Tess tried hard to cover with her body but could not cover at all. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Robot?"

The robot was no taller than a human thigh, its body was round and cylindrical, its head was like a fat fan cover, it had no legs, and only had two short robotic hands. It really looked like a child.

Tess curled her lips unhappily: "...Since you discovered it, I'll give you a look. But, it's mine!"

She pushed two steps to the side and waved her arms in an exaggerated way: "Introducing to you, cute little Yuanyuan!"

Yisi glanced at her contemptuously, thinking that she might not even be three years old now.

"So, this is the house of the missing scientist that Ollie and the others talked about?" Terry reacted, "He..."

Did you die here?

"I didn't see the body." Feili understood what he hadn't finished, "but it's probably something bad... all his things were left here, as if they suddenly disappeared."

He gestured to them to look at the messy tabletop on the wall near the window. Various tools scattered around, notebooks opened, pens thrown aside, plates that were not washed after eating, moldy and stained...

Yisi's face turned pale and he almost vomited, but Terry was very calm - the things they came up with during previous experiments were much more disgusting than this.

He was more interested in the tools on the table, and there were a few that he just needed. And...

He turned to Tess and told her: "I have to dismantle your... little Yuanyuan first. The one on its head is the signal receiver. With that, the range of the detector will be wider and the accuracy will be higher...

…”

He watched Tess's face change quickly, and he added: "I will put it back after use..."

Feili shouted sharply: "Stop her!"

Terry hadn't reacted yet, but subconsciously moved her hands. Tess, who rushed out of the door like an arrow from a string, was blocked by vines that grew instantly... and then was tied up tightly.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, extremely angry. The sound stung Terry's mind, and Iss had simply and roughly slashed Tess's neck with his palm, then caught her limp body and pushed her onto the bed.

The smoothness of the throw made Terry stunned.

It feels like...he's wanted to do this for a long time.

"What's going on?" Isz was asking Feili, "Is her brain completely broken?"

"I don't know either." Feili leaned against the table with a tired look on his face. "She seems...totally turned into a child. She has not lost her memory, but her attention is easily distracted and she sees everything.

I want to touch and talk about it, but once I think of Novi, it is easy to fall into a very manic state like now. I think...she may have secretly eaten something in the woods while I was not paying attention."

When he turned around, he only saw her mouth moving, but he couldn't open her mouth to see if she had really eaten anything.

If Tess was like this when she was a child, raising her Novi... would not be easy.

Speaking of which, it's all Terry and Iss's fault. He asked everyone to turn on the sound transmission stone in order to understand each other's situation at any time, but they obviously didn't pay much attention to what was going on on his side and just kept arguing...

And he actually got distracted by listening to their quarrel with great interest, and almost let Tess run away.

Instead of helping each other, they interfered with each other.

"Hey!" Yis yelled.

Only then did the paladin realize that he was distracted again, and couldn't help scratching his beard in embarrassment.

"Let's take a look at this." He handed the notebook to Ace, "I just turned through a few pages... I think his speculation may have some truth."

.

People who focus on a certain goal without getting results sometimes become extremely stubborn.

This was the case for the Brittan scientist whom Ollie and the others called "Red Face." He originally thought that it would be very easy to figure out how the fog in Mount None was generated and why it persisted all year round, but in the end,

He spent more than ten years on this without getting any results. In the end, he simply moved into the foggy forest.

Before that, he had been in and out of the fog forest countless times, and he had always suspected that there was some kind of hallucinogenic plant in the forest, such as some kind of mushroom spores erupting in the air, which caused the fog to have the kind of feeling that makes people lose control of their emotions.

Effect.

But he couldn't analyze anything from the mist. As for the hallucinogenic plants... It seemed that all the plants in the forest were hallucinogenic, but he couldn't detect any problems either.

However, the plants in the forest grow at a very strange speed, some are fast and some are slow, and this is not because of different types, but because of different growing areas.

He moved to the woods because he felt that he had gradually adapted to it and was not affected much, and also because he had his little robot.

The robot Madoka does not have high intelligence and has relatively simple functions, but it is his best companion. It will not get lost or lose control. It can follow him closely no matter how he runs around, no matter what kind of situation he is in.

Under any circumstances, it can use its robot hand to firmly grasp his calf at the set time and tell him: "Master, go home."

"'Master, go home.'" Among the scattered records and various speculations, the scientist casually wrote this sentence, "This sentence is the anchor of my soul. It prevents me from being taken away by the fog of time."

, I don’t know where I am lost.”

The fog of time was what he called those fogs in the last few years. His research direction has long since changed from how the fog is generated and why it does not disperse, to where the strange effect of this fog comes from.

In the end, he came to a conclusion that he himself felt had no scientific basis at all - these fogs would make the soul's time go back.

"...Meaning, the mist will turn our souls into children little by little?" Iss said in disbelief.

Even if he is a magical creature who has seen everything, he still thinks this is too magical. He has heard of a spell that can regress the body's age, but that spell changes not time, but the development of the body itself.

But it is also quite laborious to maintain this youthful status - as the white crow once did.

And the soul...the soul will be influenced and tempted, but if it eventually changes, it will be because of the changes caused by itself - which is much more difficult than changing a body.

"It's hard to accept," Philly said, "but don't you think it explains the current situation?"

Their memories still exist, but they think of the past more and more. Their minds are getting smaller and smaller, and the stability and self-control brought about by these years of growth disappear like birds flapping their wings and flying away... If time

After a while, they may still feel that the recent memory is getting blurry and blurry, like a dream, as the red-faced child described, while the distant past becomes clearer and clearer.

It felt like I was a child again... but with an aging body behind me.

Feili thinks this is quite scary. A body of more than fifty years old contains a soul of thirty years old - he feels that he should still be thirty years old now - it is worse than a body of more than fifty years old containing a fifty-year-old soul.

Where is the soul! At least it looks young!

"...This is completely unreasonable!" Is said, "According to this, the trees here will not grow taller at all, but will only grow shorter and shorter, and the mushrooms outside cannot grow!"

"Look down." Philly said, "That 'scientist' also chased the monster Tess and the others chased last night. He thinks the answer to the mystery should lie in that monster."

Yisi looked at it quickly. Hong-faced Er had seen those phantoms many times. They did not appear in fixed places, but almost always appeared in the same scene. Hong-faced Er chased them many times and finally discovered that those phantoms were actually

Appears with the appearance of monsters.
