Chapter 310 Crime and Punishment
Going from the world of the living to the world of the dead is like entering the sea from a small pond.
Lan Yu and Su Ye also don't know whether they can find an existence that can close the door to the world of the dead in the vast world of the dead.
Their first journey begins.
The dark lamp suddenly lights up, illuminating a cold white world.
The overall tone is cold white, but other colors can still be seen clearly.
"It's a bit cold..."
Su Ye felt a little cold when he suddenly came to a place in the underworld from summer.
Although he is a celestial being, he still feels sensitive to temperature changes.
This is an office.
But it is not a private office, but a collective office environment.
The oil in the dark lamp was exhausted instantly.
But after reaching the bottom, it began to recover slowly.
At the same time, Lan Yu and Su Ye both felt the cold air entering their bodies and gnawing at themselves.
"What an interesting experience. Is this the dark dye?"
Su Ye felt the changes in himself, and Lan Yu observed the environment.
This is a multi-person office, but at this time there was only one light on in the office, and a lonely soul was working overtime.
"According to Madam Xu, the Dark Lamp has a certain chance to help us attract ghosts that are destined to be with us."
"But this is all probability. Obviously, this probability is very low. The ghost we met is useless to us."
Su Ye saw at a glance that this was a programmer.
The programmer died from overtime.
Lan Yu said:
"Can you use your ability to spy on his memory?"
Su Ye nodded and decided to give it a try.
"Anyway, there is nothing to do. After all, I have to wait for the lamp oil to be filled."
Everything is as Madam Xu said. After entering a scene, the lamp oil will be consumed, and the lamp oil needs to be refilled before leaving.
This is undoubtedly a long process.
Su Ye and Lan Yu can only hope that the Dark Lamp can really play that tiny probability and bring the two to the truly valuable people.
At the moment, Su Ye came to the side of the thin-faced, spiritless ghost.
"A slight touch should not increase the value of the Darkness."
Su Ye has touched the ghost.
This is the underworld, and the dead souls are physical, but touching them is like touching a piece of thousand-year-old ice.
Suye felt it, just by touching it, he could sense the coldness deep in the soul.
This is not the worst.
The worst is -
Suye found that he had no way to peek into the memory.
The dead have no memory.
"Strange, is it because they are dead that they have no memory?"
Lan Yu heard Suye's words and knew that Suye had no way out.
A historian in the heavenly realm could not change anything in such a place.
"Perhaps, we are already in the memory, in his memory before he died?" Lan Yu looked around and said.
Suye nodded:
"This is difficult. My ability has failed. We still have to find out more information before the lights are full."
"Although this guy is just a worker who died suddenly due to overwork, what if there is any valuable information?"
Lan Yu said:
"Let me try and strip him naked."
Suye suddenly realized:
"Yes, you have the ability to move. That's great."
The undead are actually spiritual bodies, but they have entities in the underworld.
And spiritual bodies, especially special units like undead, are the natural enemies of all spiritual professions.
At least Suye's historian ability has no effect on units that have become undead.
Fortunately...
The two of them did not respect the corpse and chose to take off a coat of the corpse.
But after Lan Yu put on the coat that looked like ice, in addition to feeling cold, many memories came to him.
The programmer's name is Tao Tai.
He is an artist at a game company. Because he often stays up late to work overtime, his body has long been in bad shape.
But for the sake of his children, his wife and parents, he still keeps working overtime.
Until one day, his wife sent a text message saying that she wanted to go out to travel to the surrounding towns together on the weekend.
His wife hoped that her husband could get some rest.
Tao Tai was very happy. All the waves in his stagnant life came from his family.
His body, which had been protesting and exhausted to the extreme, had the motivation to work again.
But everything was a flash of life.
Tao Tai died. Before he died, he seemed to realize that his heartbeat was not normal.
He wanted to call his wife, but he didn't have time to get through...
He died suddenly.
This is Tao Tai's memory.
After Lan Yu felt this memory, the lights were also filled.
Suye snapped his fingers:
"Let's go to the next scene. This is indeed a pure one."
Lan Yu looked at Suye with a bad face:
"This is just an ordinary person, you don't need to mock."
Suye smiled:
"I'm not as hypocritical as you. I have superpowers, why should I put myself in the perspective of an ordinary person?"
"Is it your first time to experience memory? I suggest you be a little indifferent and don't take other people's memories too seriously, otherwise you will be trapped."
Lan Yu did not deny Suye's words.
"Let's go to the next scene."
The underworld lamp lit up. The two began the second stop of the long journey.
Like the previous stop, it was still unrelated people. There were many big bosses in the underworld, but there were more ordinary people.
This time, it was a person who died in a car accident. The driver was drunk and he was the victim.
Lan Yu felt the resentment in the heart of the deceased and began to realize that he really couldn't let these memories interfere with him.
Su Ye was there to teach Lan Yu how to quickly retrieve his memory and let his memory take the lead.
With Sima Yi, a master of playing with memory, Lan Yu's superficial attempts did not cause any impact after all.
The third stop was a child. His mother was a little crazy. She felt that her life was not satisfactory and her husband did not love her, or in other words, did not love her according to her standards.
She threw a tantrum at home and finally found that her husband did not obey her as before, but was tough for once.
So she jumped off the building with the child.
The child was very confused.
Lan Yu did not feel resentment this time, but only fear.
With the help of Su Ye, these fears were quickly dispelled.
The fourth stop was an old man who died of old age. This battle tortured Lan Yu miserably.
Because the memories of people who died suddenly are mostly short-lived, just the memories before death.
And those who die slowly from old age almost look back on their lives before they die.
Suye found that something was wrong with Lan Yu, and finally forcibly stripped Lan Yu's old man's clothes off, so that Lan Yu could wake up.
The fifth station...
The sixth station...
The seventh station...
All of them were ordinary people.
Lan Yu began to be a little afraid of memories, but he didn't want to miss anything.
He still experienced the death of many people again and again.
Some were beaten to death by their husbands for cheating, some committed suicide due to depression, some firefighters died in the sea of fire while trying to save people, and some were even shot.
Lan Yu sighed, although the end of people is death, how they end is really varied.
Some of these people he felt deserved to die, and some he felt sorry for, and hated that he was not at the scene and could not rescue them.
The nineteenth station.
It was a villa, and the memories of the deceased before death were extremely uncomfortable.
Especially Lan Yu, he was shocked.
Because he saw two familiar people.
Su Ye did not expect to experience the death of this person.
Lan Yu's ex-girlfriend.
The ex-girlfriend who was tortured and killed by a mental patient.
Lan Yu clenched his fists. Obviously, Mingdeng really brought him to a scene related to him.
It was just this scene that made Lan Yu tremble all over.
He was not afraid.
The girl's screams were heartbreaking, and the pain she suffered in the end made Lan Yu angry and blame himself.
Hearing others say it is a completely different experience from seeing it with your own eyes.
Lan Yu did not care about increasing the risk of Ming Ran, and rushed over directly to tear the madman in the girl's memory scene into pieces.
It's not that they haven't done this before.
In the previous scene, Lan Yu also thought about rescuing the firefighter.
But after he did this, the scene was reset.
Death is an endless cycle and torture.
At least for most souls.
After Lan Yu tore the madman to pieces, he found that the scene was reset.
He tore the madman to pieces again, and reset it again...
After repeating this several times, Lan Yu gave up.
He beat the ground and blamed himself.
Su Ye laughed and said, "So the girl you like looks like this."
Such a stupid remark, said at this time, is to ask for a beating.
But the lights were on, and the scene had begun to change.
Lan Yu's fist did not hit Su Ye in the end.
Before the new scene arrived, he looked at Su Ye coldly in the cold white light fog.
Su Ye said:
"Do you feel guilty? Feeling guilty? I know you hate me very much. This is not the first time I have made fun of your girlfriend."
"Remember the last time you recorded the show? A woman said with certainty that she had an affair with you."
"I did it."
"The reason why you recommended Feng Enman as a candidate, which caused the Linxiang City team to plant the seeds of disaster and even almost completely contaminated Jian Yiyi, was also because of me."
Lan Yu's anger had reached its extreme. Su Ye changed the subject:
"You are an actor, I am a historian, I can't beat you. If you want to beat me, you can."
"But what I want to tell you is that there are people in this world who harbor malicious intent for no reason."
"People always say that you need a reason to hate someone, but you don't need a reason to love someone. In fact..."
"For some perverts, there is no love or hate, everything is out of happiness. Who can guard against it?"
"Your girlfriend didn't die because of you. Everyone has their own suffering."
"Put away your anger, Lan Yu."
Su Ye was able to speak frankly about the evil he had done, which surprised Lan Yu.
After a few words, Lan Yu actually realized that... he had avenged his girlfriend.
That madman died more miserably than his girlfriend.
He doesn't need to blame himself. If he blames himself, he should remember this girl forever.
The 19th station.
The deceased at this station is an old calendar person.
His name is Yu Sheng.
His profession is a ronin. Every day when he wakes up, he will travel to a different person.
It can be said that this profession is very good for people who like to experience all kinds of life.
Lan Yu was surprised to find that Yu Sheng was the student saved by Qin Ze.
In Jingquan College, it was Yu Sheng who told Qin Ze that there was something strange in the college.
But unexpectedly, Yu Sheng died.
Yu Sheng was so unlucky that he traveled to a person who was three minutes away from death.
Lan Yu was speechless...
This job is really risky.
Yesterday he was a billionaire, partying with world superstars at a pool party, but today he has become an old man with three minutes left to death.
The moment the ECG fluctuations returned to silence -
Lan Yu could imagine Yu Sheng's depression and terror.
Just like that... was he killed by his own job?
Su Ye frowned:
"I feel like my body is so cold that I almost lose consciousness. Our luck is too bad! How many stations have we passed, and there is no useful information."
Lan Yu didn't say anything, just entered the next scene.
The 21st station.
This is a clinic in a small town.
There is a man in a white coat outside the clinic, holding a book in his hand.
He squinted his eyes and basked in the sun.
I don't know if it's an illusion, the sun is too dazzling or something...
Lan Yu and Su Ye felt at the same time that this doctor... was glowing.
As if there was a holy light behind him, the man seemed to have noticed them.
He smiled slightly.
Su Ye just felt... that this smile had a huge impact on him.
Just like Jesus, he was wrapped in some spiritual power.
No... Jesus can't compare to this man at all!
Su Ye was shocked and took a few steps back.
Lan Yu noticed that the book in the man's hand was called "Crime and Punishment".
"This town has always been quiet, but I didn't expect there would be outsiders. Welcome, welcome."
"Let me guess, are you here to see a doctor?"
There was no sense of oppression.
Su Ye was a little dazed for a moment. What was he struggling with just now? What was he afraid of?
This man looked harmless, and had a handsome face that even Lan Yu couldn't compare to.
Lan Yu said:
"Are you a doctor?"
"Well, I know a little bit of medical skills, for example, I know that your friend has a problem."
The doctor looked at Su Ye.
"The inner world is a very mysterious thing. Your inner world has been modified by someone. Are you here for this?"
"It's really a surprise to find this place. Except for that liar and my son, no one has come to see me for a long time."
The doctor was obviously very happy to see a new face.
But Su Ye and Lan Yu were shocked.
Lan Yu knew that some parts of Su Ye had been modified by Qin Ze, which was considered a forced "reformation".
But Qin Ze's methods were unfathomable, even Qin Ze himself didn't know.
Even Pangu couldn't see it, otherwise he wouldn't let Su Ye mix in.
Su Ye knew even more clearly that his situation could not be seen by outsiders.
Because Qin Ze's methods were unheard of by him, and they could only be done with the power of the old calendar.
But the man in front of him could be seen at a glance.
The most important thing is that Su Ye couldn't feel the breath of this man at all.
This is not because the other party is dead. But the other party can be completely restrained.
This is like a crushing of a realm.
Suye's heart beat a little faster. Could it be that he really met some undead boss?
"Don't be afraid. You seem to be very satisfied with yourself now. So you are not here to treat illness?"
The man laughed. That damn charm made Lan Yu feel...how ordinary he looked.
"I don't really believe what the liar said to me. After all, he has always wanted to deceive me."
"Can you tell me what happened in the outside world?"
Lan Yu guessed that this might be a powerful existence in the pioneer era, and perhaps his strength was close to that of the old calendar master.
He asked:
"Are you... the old calendar master?"
The doctor touched his chin, and the desire to deceive people came up, but he still suppressed it.
"No, in my era, there seems to be no such existence."
