Chapter 334: It’s Not Easy to Go Back (Part 2)

After noticing this non-existent hug, Leon couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at the little girl's situation with his peripheral vision.

Although the little dead girl didn't stop, the tears on her face had disappeared, and her frightened expression became a little calmer. Her eyes, which were red and swollen because of crying, also opened again, quietly fading away the fear and sadness, and she was curiously looking at the road ahead.

"In the world of the living, flesh and blood are real, and the soul is untouchable, but in the dead world, there is no flesh and blood, only the soul is recognized, and the body has become something that cannot be touched."

After spreading her palm and showing Leon the tear marks on it, Emma explained softly:

"The soul of the living is inseparable from the body, so in the dead world, it has become something that almost does not exist. Only things like will, belief, or emotion can affect other dead people.

As long as there is no particularly strong desire to touch a dead person, we in the dead world are just a breeze with a fixed shape."

After explaining the situation just now , Senior Emma turned slightly to look at Leon, and said seriously:

"In addition, your soul strength is not high, remember not to contact those dead who look special, such as those with resentment, regrets, or crying.

The emotions carried by the souls of these dead are too strong. After contacting them too much, it will affect the stability of your soul. If you are not careful, you will still feel uncomfortable for a long time after leaving the dead world."

"I know."

Looking at Senior Emma, ​​whose face was still a little pale, but still patiently explained the precautions to him, Leon couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then the right hand holding her hand was a little stronger.

I want to warm Emma's cold palms like Emma just hugged the little girl and wiped her tears, to give her the courage to fight against the road of no return.

'Don't worry, I'm here'?

After faintly feeling Leon's inner thoughts through her tightly clasped hands, Emma's eyes couldn't help but warm up slightly. Then she took a deep breath, held Leon's hand full of determination, and walked towards the black and white stone bridge not far away.

...

[Name: Black and White Bridge (Memory, Memory)]

[Appearance: A long and quaint bridge paved with black and white bricks and stones across the Yellow Springs of the Dead Realm. After stepping on a new brick on the bridge, you will review part of your life]

[Ability: Happy Memories, Painful Memories]

[Price: None]

[File: After the death of the "Faceless Man", the master of the Dead Realm, he squeezed out all the memories of his long life, classified them according to happiness and pain, and made them into black and white stone bricks.

These black and white bricks that change constantly have completely different effects. After stepping on the white bricks, you will recall the happy experiences in your life, and after stepping on the black bricks, you will recall the painful experiences in your life...]

[Evaluation: Just like people cannot know whether their next life will be happy or sad, no one can know whether this brick is black or white before they really step on it.

No one will cry forever in their life, and no one can laugh forever in their life. Only by experiencing all the joys and sorrows in person can you truly live your life.]

[Immersion value: the same as the user]

Memory player?

Habitually reaching out and touching the fence of the stone bridge, after getting the information of the [Black and White Bridge], Leon couldn't help but look at Emma beside him with worry.

If I guessed correctly, the reading range of the [Black and White Bridge] should be limited to the user's memory, and my memory of this world is only the past three years.

Although she had just recovered from the illness and had to work hard to support her family, she encountered many ugly and dirty situations and had many embarrassing and unbearable memories, but because of her younger brothers and sisters, she was still happy overall. Although the pain was unforgettable, it still could not cover the warmth in her heart.

The only time that made her unbearable was when Anna suddenly coughed up blood in the middle of the night and hoped that she could conceal her death so that she could continue to "cheat" the pension. She was able to avoid this result because she joined the Cleanup Bureau.

So for her, the effect of [Black and White Bridge] is not too difficult. Even if she can't hold on, as long as she thinks about the present life, she should be able to barely cope with it.

But Senior Emma...

After thinking about the big tree at the gate of Baohua Manor, Leon couldn't help but fall into deep silence.

With her entire family being executed and only her and her daughter left, even if she was lucky enough to step on the white stone bricks every step, she would only relive those beautiful memories, and once she recalled the final outcome, it would bring deeper torture.

Emma, ​​who was standing by, obviously knew this too. She hadn't even stepped onto the Black and White Bridge yet. She had only imagined the scenes she might see after getting on the bridge, and her lips had turned pale from biting.

"How about... I go up first?"

After a moment of silence, Leon suggested:

"I just touched the fence, and it seems that the bricks that are stepped on by someone will not change. I can go up the Black and White Bridge first and help you step on the white bricks, so that you should feel a little more comfortable."

After hearing Leon's suggestion, Emma's pale lips moved, as if she wanted to refuse and not let Leon bear the painful memories for her.

But before she opened her mouth to refuse, a feeling of relaxation from the heart, mixed with a strong sense of guilt, came directly into Leon's heart through the two people's tightly clasped hands.

"Then it's settled!"

After squeezing Emma's hand and sending back the thoughts of 'it's okay' and 'I'm willing to do this for you', Leon took a deep breath and stepped onto the black and white stone bridge.

White brick.

When Leon's foot landed, the foggy surface of the black and white bridge suddenly became clear, and a white brick that could only allow an adult to step on appeared plainly and warmly under Leon's feet.

Thank you, thank you so much!

After squeezing Leon's hand hard, Emma, ​​with a very soft look in her eyes, tiptoed, tried to take a step forward, and gently stepped on the edge of the white brick that Leon had given up.

"Brother, you're back!"

After her toes touched the ground, the world in front of her suddenly darkened. Emma found herself standing in a dark street. Every muscle in her body that could exert force was throbbing with pain. The exhaustion that made her feel exhausted made her eyes go black.

In this world filled with darkness in both reality and the body, the only thing that was still shining was the dim little oil lamp in the distance, and the pale and thin face of the girl with a look of surprise illuminated by the oil lamp.
