Chapter 767: Being a Human Being in the Next Life
Xu Bo was a very special person. In the old grandmother's story, he escaped the cruel war and survived by luck. He did not lie about this.
He is a survivor. After being rescued from Longchang, he tried his best to atone for his sins. However, after doing so much, he was still cast into the animal realm after death. His soul became a monster that was neither human nor pig. He lived in despair every day. , repeatedly experiencing the memories that I least want to face.
At this moment, I can somewhat understand him, but understanding is understanding. If you want me to take him out of the animal realm with just these few words, it is absolutely impossible.
I didn't refuse directly, nor did I agree directly. Looking at the ferocious pig face in front of me, I calmed down like never before.
This person may be my breakthrough point.
I am not Gu Junsheng. As long as I can achieve my goal, why not make a deal with the devil?
Uncle Xu held his shoulders firmly, his facial features were distorted, and his mouth was full of stench. I could see his pain and anger: "If you want me to take you back to the human world, you will have to pay a high price."
Sensing the change in my tone, Uncle Xu felt a glimmer of hope in his heart: "As long as I can leave this damn place, I'm willing to pay any price!"
"Don't agree in a hurry. I have a few questions to ask you." The method of getting out is the key to my ability to talk to Xu Boping. Naturally, I can't reveal anything. I thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to find out everything about Longchang. The apartment thing.
After more than ten seconds, Uncle Xu calmed down. He retracted his hands and took a few steps back: "What do you want to know?"
"First of all, it's about Longchang. Why does Longchang exist in the Animal Path? And it's still the same as it was decades ago. It hasn't changed at all." I initially speculated that Longchang had a special terrain, but later I felt that this place was too weird. , it’s not just the terrain.
"Beast way?" The flesh on Xu Bozhu's face twitched a few times: "I know that if I ate human flesh in my previous life, I will definitely not be able to be a human being in my next life."
He chuckled, and the enthusiasm on his face slowly faded: "I was alone in my later years, and came to this place after my death. It felt like I woke up and found that my dream was finally over. I don't know the relationship between Longchang and the human world. What does Longchang have to do with it? Maybe everything in the world of the sun will also exist in the underworld."
"You're lying." I pointed to the night sky outside the window: "Longchang of the Beast Way has been set up with a large formation, which is the mirror hanging upside down in the sky outside. The memory of the people in the formation can only last for one day. The formation is a new one every day. Reincarnation keeps repeating the same time, everyone has forgotten the past, only you remember!"
I slowed down my speech and looked at him closely: "Uncle Xu, you are different from those monsters, and you don't need to fool me. If you want me to help you escape Longchang, then let me see your sincerity."
"Jun Sheng can never say this. You are indeed not him." Uncle Xu showed a clear expression: "I don't know what reward that child promised you. I can give you double whatever he gives you. I just ask you to take me away!"
"Uncle Xu, Junsheng, what is going on?" The girl ran from the bed and stood between me and Uncle Xu. She wanted to get closer to me, but she was hesitant in her heart.
"He didn't give me any reward, I just owed him a promise."
"You are really a fool to run to the other side of reincarnation for a promise."
Neither Uncle Xu nor I paid attention to the girl. The two of them faced off for a moment, but he was the first to break the deadlock: "Anyway, I have nothing to lose, so I just trust you once. What I just said to you is not everything." It’s fake. Waking up again after death is like waking up from a dream. Returning to this terrible place again makes me feel like I’m going crazy.”
"There are pigs all around, talking in human languages, wearing human clothes, and walking upright. When I look at them, I seem to see myself. I can't imagine that I have become like this. I am looking for everything in the building. Something that can reflect light, I originally thought about committing suicide after seeing my own face, but fate has its way, and later I found a strange mirror in the Longchang Building."
Uncle Xu turned around and walked to the window: "You can see that mirror, but you can't touch it. The person reflected in the mirror is me, and it's not me."
Attracted by Uncle Xu's words, I also walked over: "Where did you see that mirror?"
"It's right where the light rises." Uncle Xu turned around, with an indescribably strange expression on his face: "Aren't you curious about what I saw in the mirror?"
"You will naturally say what you want to say." I stretched my head out of the window. When the vicious beast attacked Longchang, three lights rose in the community. One light came from the doctor, the other from the bottom of Longchang's main building, and the last one. It lights up from the top of the main building.
The hidden positions of these three mirrors are very interesting. Except for the one held by the doctor, one is at the highest place in Longchang and the other is at the lowest place in Longchang, which coincides with some kind of true meaning in them.
"I saw it on the top floor of Longchang. When I woke up again after death, I couldn't believe that I had turned into a terrifying monster. I searched all over Longchang but couldn't find anything reflective. What's even more terrifying is that I feel that my memory is being lost. It keeps getting blurry, and it seems that like the people around me, I will soon lose everything and sink into a nightmare forever without being able to wake up. If this is the case, I would rather die!" Xu Bo clenched his fists, and then he shook his head. : "I was disheartened. After all, I had died once, so dying again would not be a hard thing to accept. I tried various ways to die before my memory completely dissipated, but no matter how I went Even if you do it, you won’t die, and everything will start over again as soon as you open your eyes.”
"I didn't communicate with the people around me. I stubbornly felt that I was different from them. I don't know how many days passed like this, until my memory was blurred and I was about to forget myself. Then something happened."
"I came to the main building of Longchang, stood on the highest place, and tried the last way to die. It was wrong. In fact, I couldn't remember whether I had jumped over the building before. My mind was very confused."
At this point, Xu Bo's words began to be confused. He beat his head very hard, looking very much like a masochistic patient.
"You saw the mirror on the roof, right?" I saw how painful he was and wanted to end the topic quickly.
"Yes, the moment I jumped down from the building, I saw the mirror hidden at the highest point of the main building in Longchang, and I saw myself in the mirror." He stretched out his hand and grabbed his face, pulling away the ugly face. Digging out traces of blood: "I don't look like this in the mirror. I'm still the same person in the mirror, just the same person!"
It can reflect the essence of monsters in reincarnation. Such an ability can only be found in the reincarnation mirror. I wrote down the location where Uncle Xu said and motioned for him to lower his volume and not get too excited: "What happened next? What happened again?"
"I jumped from the main building and fell into a pulp. The pain probably lasted for a few seconds. When I opened my eyes again, I found that everything had started all over again. I was still lying in a dilapidated house, and the people around me were also Nothing has changed. The only difference is that part of my memory seems to have been lost forever." Uncle Xu's face was dripping with blood from his scratches, but he didn't care: "I don't know what I forgot, I just remember There is a mirror on the top of the building, so I go there every day to check. Only when I see myself in the mirror can I be sure that I am still a human being!"
He paused for a moment and then continued: "This ghost place keeps reincarnating the same day. Every time a fixed time comes, everyone's memory will be erased and everything will start again. I have tried it before, and only by walking out of Longchang can I stop. Affected by this power. So I suspect that the Longchang we are in now was actually evolved from the formation, and is just a prison used to punish criminals."
What Uncle Xu said was just his own speculation. I nodded after hearing this: "Use the fragments of the Samsara Mirror to set up an array and imprison tens of thousands of obsessions. Who has such great courage and dares to set up on the other side of Samsara?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about, and I don't care who is planning it. I just want to get out of here. If you promise to help me, then I will tell you another secret."
Uncle Xu's eyes sparkled, and I weighed it for a while before decisively agreeing: "We are mutually beneficial, so why should I refuse? Tell me, what other secrets do you know?"
"I go to see that mirror once a day. Although my memories are constantly fading, most of them are still retained." Uncle Xu glanced at the girl: "This secret is about her."
"This girl did not originally exist in the animal realm. At least I have not seen her in so many reincarnations, which means that her life span is not over yet." The old man grabbed the girl's shoulders: "After death, the cold starts from the soles of the feet, and it will be cold when it reaches the top of the head in the next life. Reincarnate as a human being; but if on the other hand, the cold starts from the top of the head and reaches the soles of the feet, then he can only be an animal in the next life. This child's body has a chill from the soles of the feet, and it has reached the shoulders, which is exactly the opposite of me at that time , indicating that she will be reincarnated and start a new life in her next life.”
Uncle Xu's voice always made people feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't care about the girl's increasingly pale face, but he was still using his hands hard: "It's not fair, it's really unfair. I have done so many good things, but in the end I still have to be a beast." She is a sacrifice, but she can be reincarnated as a human being!"
The girl couldn't get away, so I stepped forward and pushed Uncle Xu aside with all my strength, and said coldly: "What exactly do you want to tell me?"
"Actually, it's nothing..." Uncle Xu was about to speak when the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door. He immediately stopped speaking with a nervous look on his face: "Hurry up and hide under the bed. It seems like someone from room four is coming. Got it!"
Without him saying anything, I had already dragged the girl and hid it under the bed. As soon as I put the sheets on the bed, the old wooden door was violently kicked open!
"You let that girl go?" The voice outside the door was a bit cold, making people tremble.
I hid under the bed and held my breath: "That security guard, why are you chasing me here?!"
