Chapter 766 I Spend Half My Life Atone for My Sins
Looking into the girl's eyes, I pursed my lips but didn't say anything.
Whether in the human world or the animal realm, I am the only one who has heard her story.
In order to carry me through reincarnation, Junsheng's memory was sealed. The old woman was forcibly brought here by the tenants of the red building, and she forgot everything she had experienced in the past few decades.
At this moment, I am the only one who knows their past, and I carry all their hopes.
"What you see is all falsehood. The truth is cruel, but I have an obligation to restore it. This is my promise to that child."
I said it very solemnly, and the girl nodded in understanding and whispered: "Yes, I believe you."
The door was ajar and I didn't lock it, ready to rush out at any moment.
Time passed by, and the bronze mirror on the door opposite did not change. I could hear my breathing gradually becoming disordered, and anxiety and uneasiness were fermenting in my heart.
Half an hour later, there was a strange movement in the long corridor, and heavy footsteps sounded from the end of the corridor.
"Someone is coming." I opened my eyes wide, but after losing my vision, my vision returned to the level of a normal person, and I couldn't see what was coming.
One after another, according to a fixed rhythm, they gradually approached without any pause in between.
"Is it sent by Obsession to search? No, it didn't open all the doors to check, it just approached this room. Did he find me and the girl?"
I wasn't sure if the other party was coming towards me and the girl, so I glanced left and right and gently pushed her away: "You hide under the bed first, and no matter what happens, don't come out!"
"how about you?"
"Do not bother me!"
The house was not big and there were not many places to hide people, so the girl was forced to hide under the bed first.
The footsteps in the corridor were getting louder and louder. I was lying alone at the door. I couldn't see clearly even though I tried hard, "He must have identified this house, right?"
The windows were closed. This was the sixth floor. If you jumped, you would definitely die. When the footsteps came within five meters, my palms were already soaked with sweat.
My original plan was to let the girl hide under the bed. If that person was really the owner of this room, when he approached the door, I would take the initiative to rush out and lure him away.
But just when the man was about to come to the door, there were footsteps from the other side of the corridor, and there were more than one.
"Has the search started? The obsessive movement of the Red Mansion is so fast!" Both sides of the corridor were blocked. I rushed out now to seek death. I turned around and glanced. I left the door and hid under the bed.
"Shut up." I gave the girl a sign of silence. She and I lay side by side under the bed, staring at the door.
The footsteps shattered my last bit of luck, and they stopped right at the door of the room.
I could hear the sound of rough hands rubbing the door lock. I held my breath and my heart was in my throat.
"Where did the little girl and that kid in our room go?"
"You ask me how I know?"
"Old Xutou, I asked you to guard the door. Now you let them go. You won't find them tomorrow. Be careful that other people in the room chew on your old bones!"
"Longchang is so big, where can they go? There was a big commotion outside just now, maybe they ran out to watch the fun."
"You should be open-minded. Let me tell you the truth, it's not me who's looking for those two kids. It's the director of Room 4. He promised to exchange these two kids with two adult women."
"How dare you take advantage of room four? Are you tired of living?"
"Don't talk about those vain people. If you can't find anyone, I will send you there!"
The conversation outside the house sounded familiar to me, and I carefully distinguished it. Aren't these two voices the same ones I heard when I first entered the animal path?
One of them is Uncle Xu, and the other seems to be the head of the room where the girl and Jun Sheng are.
The two quarreled for a long time before it ended. The head of the room left cursing, and Uncle Xu suddenly pushed the wooden door open: "What bad luck!"
He slammed the door, and I hid under the bed and could see a pair of deformed pig feet covered in dirt walking toward the bed.
Uncle Xu spoke in a dialect that I couldn't quite understand. He was probably cursing the house manager and the dirty place called Pig Pen Apartment.
Just listening to these, I can feel Uncle Xu's hatred for the pig cage apartment. He should be a stubborn old man with his own opinions. Unfortunately, under the general trend of Longchang, he had to give in in order to save his life, otherwise he would not be alive now.
The pair of pig feet stopped beside the bed. Uncle Xu threw his coat onto the wooden chair, and then fell down on the bed.
"He didn't notice me and the girl." Uncle Xu didn't seem to know that there were two more people in the room. He thought that no one in Longchang would be so bored that he would hide under his bed in the middle of the night.
The old man didn't make any sound after lying on the bed, and the room was eerily quiet.
I couldn't use listening to tell whether the old man was asleep, and I didn't have any discerning eyes, so I couldn't clearly see the bronze mirror on the corridor from a long distance away.
The sky will dawn soon in the world of the sun, and that bronze mirror might be activated in the next moment. The more I think about it, the more impatient I feel.
It's not that I'm not calm enough, it's just that there are too many variables in this live broadcast. After coming to the animal path, I can't use all my skills and accumulated trump cards, which inevitably makes me feel uneasy.
I counted silently in my mind and calculated the time. A full half minute passed, but there was still no movement in the room.
"Uncle Xu, are you asleep?" I couldn't hear snoring or breathing. I felt like there was a cat's claw scratching in my heart. I wanted to go to the crack of the door and take a look: "The bronze mirror shouldn't be activated yet, right?" ."
After waiting for another ten minutes, all my patience was exhausted and I crawled forward, ready to go to the door to take a look at the bronze mirror.
As soon as my body moved, the other hand was tightly grasped by the girl, and she shook her head at me.
"Is there danger outside?" This was the first time the girl stopped me: "The only threat in the house comes from Uncle Xu, but he hasn't made any movement for such a long time. He must have fallen asleep."
I can't hide here for the rest of my life. If I miss the sunrise, I won't be able to go back through the bronze mirror.
To make matters worse, the place of Longchang is shrouded in a large array of reincarnation lenses. Every day, the memory will be erased and everything will start again. I am very worried that I will also be affected. My memory is already incomplete. If I am affected by this force again, I am very worried that I will be lost in reincarnation.
"You must not miss it. The girl's body is getting colder and colder. This shows that the vitality of her body in the world is constantly dissipating. If her soul leaves for too long, her body will really die!"
I waved my hand gently towards the girl, and I slowly crawled out from under the bed, moving very slowly without making a sound.
"Just take a look at the bronze mirror and come back immediately..." I made a good calculation in my mind, but I always felt that something was not right. When I was about to climb to the door, I turned around and glanced out of habit.
On the dirty bed, the ugly pig-headed man was staring at me unblinkingly! With an intriguing smile on his face!
My body felt like it was falling into an ice cave. I felt like all my strength had been drained from my body. For a moment, I lay on the ground unable to stand up. It took a few seconds to calm down.
"Are you not asleep? Do you know that I am hiding in your house?" My words did not reveal the girl's existence. I had already made up my mind that if he came after me, I would rush out immediately to lure her away.
Uncle Xu didn't speak. He looked me up and down, as if he wanted to see something from me.
He is different from other monsters in Longchang. After I came to the pig cage apartment, he did not harm me and the girl. On the contrary, he has been protecting me and the girl.
This person was also mentioned in the old woman's story before. It is said that he helped Junsheng decades ago.
Because of the above reasons, I did not run away immediately, but wanted to have some communication with him.
I was still organizing my words when Uncle Xu, who was lying on the bed, finally made a move. He sat up straight and the smile on his face disappeared: "You are not Gu Junsheng."
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the answers I had thought of were silenced in my throat. I never expected that the old and ugly monster in front of me would say such a sentence: "How did you see that?"
There is no use in quibbling, I admitted directly after pondering for a moment.
"People in Longchang never sleep soundly, and you don't know this."
There was a sound from under the bed, and the girl crawled out: "Uncle Xu, you said...he is not Junsheng?"
The old man was silent for a moment, looking away from the girl. He walked out of bed, like a hill, enveloping me in his figure: "Are you from the earthly world? Do you want to take this girl back to the earthly world?! I said That’s right!”
I didn't say anything. Uncle Xu's condition was a bit strange. His behavior was completely different from that of other Longchang residents.
Perhaps seeing my doubts, Uncle Xu put his hands on my shoulders, and that ugly pig face squeezed in front of my eyes: "Take me away with you, I am innocent, I was forced!"
"Calm down, I'm not a god, I'm just a stowaway. I promise the original owner of this body to send this girl back to the earth..."
"No! You can do it, you must be able to do it." Uncle Xu said emotionally: "I am a survivor of Longchang. I have eaten meat. I am guilty, but I will try my best to atone for my sins for the rest of my life! I have not done anything. An outrageous thing. I planted fifty acres of green forest in the Gobi Desert. I spent all my money to help others. Even after my death, I donated all the usable organs in my body! I was one of the first people in China willing to donate I gave my body to the people in the medical school, and I tried every means to make up for it! But why will I turn into such a ghost after my death? And I will be imprisoned in this nightmare place forever!"
After listening to Uncle Xu's words, I narrowed my eyes, and a thought emerged in my heart - Longchang in the Animal Path was shrouded by a large formation, and the memory could only last for one day, but why could Uncle Xu remember the past and even retain the memory before his death? .
He was also shrouded in the formation and thrown into the beast realm. Why was he different from the other monsters in Longchang?
"Could it be that one of the two reincarnation lenses in the main building is on his body?"
