"You should think about it carefully again. Is there something like Mummy Yin? Or do you have any memories about that person?" Bai Wu wanted to know more clues.
But the gray-robed boy shook his head:
"I'm sorry, but my memory is not blurred, but plundered. The stronger the power of the judge, the weaker my power as a gravekeeper will be. We devour each other."
The white turned to grey...
One leads to life, the other leads to death.
But the catastrophe seven hundred years ago tilted the balance of life and death. The judge who led the death had become increasingly powerful, while the defender who led the survival, the gravekeeper, began to be slowly eroded by the judge.
"Memories, strength, and personality will all be slowly devoured. If you accept my commission and try to stop the judge but never succeed, then maybe next time you come to Yellow Spring Island, you'll find that I've become the judge too."
Bai Wu probably understood that this was a true union of twins.
"So essentially, he's your split personality?"
"He is the main body, and I am the one that was split off."
"… "
No wonder he was suppressed so fiercely. The main personality believes that everyone will die, and death can eliminate all human suffering.
This personality, who believed that he had to survive no matter what, had the opportunity to surpass the main personality, but he was trapped on this island.
All I saw were people who had lost the will to live.
But Bai Wu didn’t quite understand why a person would have two such completely different concepts about life and death
The young man in gray robe seemed to know Bai Wu's doubts and said:
"Before I separated from him, I was already a very contradictory person. I have met many people who lived in pain. Death may be a relief for them."
"The judge believes that this world should give people the right to pursue their own death. When the end of the world comes, there should be a place where people can die happily."
Obviously the appearance of the gravekeeper means that the judge has experienced something very strange.
"But it's not like that... Although most people are suffering, and there are many people in this world who want to die because they can't live anymore, there are more people who are trying hard to live."
"I saw a man who starved to death. When I found him, his mouth was full of his own nails. He had no strength left, but before he died, he still bit off his nails."
When he couldn't find anything to eat, he tried to find it in himself. A person who was extremely hungry should not have any strength left, so he bit his nails with all his strength, which was probably the last bit of strength released by his survival instinct.
Bai Wu could imagine that kind of despair.
"When the end of the world comes, I always believe that if people do not resist death but actively welcome death, then the destruction of this world will not need the end of the world."
"Maybe it was just a breezy afternoon, the sun was shining, the food smelled delicious, people were laughing and talking, and then suddenly - everyone died."
"Can you imagine the absurd scene I saw on this island in 2127? The judge played the flute, the sound was melodious, and a group of people seemed to be smiling, but in fact there was panic in their eyes. Under the guidance of the flute, they jumped from the cliff into the sea one by one like penguins entering the water."
"It seemed like these people died without complaint, but the irony was that when they were thrashing in the sea, the first words they shouted were not goodbye to the world, but 'Save me, save me.'"
The gravekeeper's expression was strange and somewhat torn. When he said these words, it was as if he was fighting against another will.
"Just outside the island, there are still many people whose families have been destroyed and who have nothing. They are facing the loneliness of being abandoned and enduring the horror of the evil attacking the city, but they are still trying hard to survive. However, these people on the island... do not understand the value of life at all!"
There is a saying that goes, "Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering." In fact, it only talks about the truth that people cannot empathize with others.
Bai Wu couldn't say with absolute certainty that those who wanted to die were just bored. But the gravekeeper was not wrong in wanting others to live.
Even if a person really desires death to the extreme, as a person who is about to witness his death, he should think again whether life is really boring and whether life is really hopeless.
After all, humans can be very impulsive at times.
The judge's approach was not to make people accept death... but to guide some people who originally still had the desire to live to death.
This is undoubtedly a sin.
Under the influence of the flute sound, a large group of people lined up and jumped into the sea with laughter. It can be imagined that this group of people did not do it intentionally.
"Have you thought about it?"
"How long ago did the judge leave the island? Why was he able to leave the area? If he could leave the area, why can't you?"
"He left a month ago. As for why he could leave the area, but I couldn't, it's because I am pure evil and he is not. He should have left earlier, but an evil with three crows did not come as agreed."
The gray-robed boy's words surprised Bai Wu again.
But soon Bai Wu found that it all made sense.
"Half-evil... Jiang Yimi is also half-evil. Jiang Yimi also separated a pure evil, the Lantern Man. But the Lantern Man is a guardian. After seeing Jiang Yimi, the two have the same will and merged."
"The judge and the gravekeeper have different attitudes towards life. The gravekeeper should have awe and respect for life from the judge's heart."
"But Jiang Yimi has fusion disease, does the judge also have it?"
"He mentioned the evil creature with three crows. Isn't that the Traveler? The Traveler must have persuaded the judge to explore the mystery of the flight and find a way to take away the coffin guarded by Mummy Yin. Can he be resurrected through this island?"
"This is really a big chess game, but why didn't the traveler show up as promised?"
Even though Gray Robe took Bai Wu seriously enough, he did not expect that Bai Wu would deduce the truth of the matter just from his few words.
The black-robed judge did want to find the flight and bring back the coffin. As for how to break the reincarnation cycle, it was up to the travelers who were loyal to a certain force.
If the man in black brings back the coffin, the hundreds of years of preparation on Yellow Spring Island will be able to revive the person in the coffin.
But unfortunately, the traveler... died.
Bai Wu said again:
"I can promise to help you deal with the judge. In fact, I also know where the judge is. But then you have to answer a few questions for me."
"you say."
"Are there any other evil servants around the monster with three crows? For example, are there any that look very sturdy and strong enough to withstand attacks?"
"No."
"How long have they met?"
"More than two months ago."
Bai Wu frowned. More than two months ago, the military exercise between the two armies had not yet taken place. Could it be that the traveler was killed by Liu Mu during the military exercise between the two armies
Bai Wu naturally didn't know the truth that after he left the mine, the Traveler was dismembered by the future Four Heavenly Kings of the Black Zone.
The forces outside the tower were far more chaotic than he had imagined.
But more or less, he had some doubts in his heart:
"I know some things and I know where the judge will go in the end, but there is one thing I must say."
"What?"
"It's not like an NPC will issue a mission just because they see a player, and it doesn't matter whether the player is wearing a novice outfit or a god outfit, right? You asked me to stop the judge, it can't be because I have some kind of omniscient ability, right?"
Bai Wu gave an expression that said you need to pay more:
"You should know that the unidentified person lying in the coffin in your memory is a very dangerous person."
Bai Wu actually had an impression that in the files left by Professor Tao, Jing Liu mentioned that the cruise ship was heading towards nothingness, and in the plane was where her brother lived.
So far, Bai Wu has come into contact with Well Six, Well Four, and Well Five.
Jing Si has gone mad and is missing, Jing Liu is about to become invisible to the world for spying on cause and effect, Jing Wu is related to the forces of Black Gold Island, and seems to have a lot of cooperation with the rulers of the human tower.
But the other three people didn't know whether the person lying in the coffin was Well One, Well Two or Well Three. Bai Wu had no idea. After all, to him, these three were just code names.
In short, the Jing family is the ceiling of the black area. When encountering such people, even the Eye of Prell will have to waver.
"Naturally, since I want you to help me, that means you and I will join forces. I will give you a part of my power and entrust it to an item on you."
"Items? How about a rice cooker?" Bai Wu didn't expect that he would actually have to pay extra.
The man in gray robe looked like a gloomy young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. His expression was even gloomier at this moment:
"You'd better be serious. The power I gave you can only be used once."
"Is there a power that can be used infinitely? I have personally witnessed it. It is a legendary distortion item. It costs extra money."
Bai Wu felt that if he continued talking, Huipao might push him down.
"You'd better find one that you can use frequently."
"Will items that have already been sent to spirits be okay?"
"Can."
"Then let's have a mask."
Bai Wu gave a smiley face mask. Looking at the smiley face on the mask, the gray robe said:
"I've seen this mask. Where did you get it?"
"I picked it up. I forgot where I found it. What can you tell me about this mask?"
Gray Robe said:
"A very powerful person. The original owner of this mask was no ordinary person. It may be God's will that you can possess it."
"How powerful?"
"Stronger than me and the judge. At least the judge had to avoid him at that time. But he is very mysterious, and we don't know more."
Although he was absolutely sure that it was not him, Bai Wu felt a little good for some reason.
The previous generation of masked monsters did make me proud.
After getting the mask, the gray robe did not do anything, but the purple mist around him became much thinner.
The bodies hanging under the bridge began to sway as if blown by the wind.
During the whole process, the two did not speak.
It was not until the gray-robed boy gave the mask to Bai Wu that Bai Wu discovered that the notes on the mask had changed.
Its original ability has not changed, bringing with it powerful facial defense, but the worse your physical condition, the more broken the mask will appear.
Now, this little mask has a new ability, although it only works once. Let's call it "The more it's hurt, the more exposed it becomes. Wishing to die can't relieve loneliness. The little mask." I always use logic when naming.
When you are in danger, the mask will summon some people who have a causal connection with you to take you out of danger. Don't think that this ability is insignificant, because you have accumulated a lot of causal connections, and you may not even know it.
In short... If you can't win, can you call for help through the mask
Bai Wu thought about it and felt that his biggest supporters should be Hong Yin and Aige, right
Although the eyes mentioned that we should not underestimate this mask, I always feel that facing an existence of the judge's level, Hong Yin and Shorty seem to be not good enough.
After thinking it over carefully, he still couldn't remember who he had a karmic relationship with. Bai Wu looked quite disappointed.
Gray Robe was unhappy:
"I haven't told you about the power of this mask yet. Oh... you have some kind of precognitive ability? So you knew it in advance?"
“I guess so.”
"You look disgusted?"
"It's... hard to say."
Gray Robe suddenly regretted it. This seemingly smart but actually stupid human didn't even know how big the stakes he had invested were!
Bai Wu still took the mask and said:
"Aren't you afraid that I will just take the benefits and not do anything?"
Gray Robe said:
"You are from the tower, so you should know better than me that humans must leave the tower. If humans do not leave the tower, what will happen inside in order to obtain survival resources?"
"And the biggest reliance for humans to leave the tower is because at least one rule in this world has not changed, and that is birth, aging, illness and death. I don't know what the judge is going to do, but he is likely to change the rules of life and death. Once this is done, the risk of death for humans after leaving the tower will become abnormally high."
On the third floor of the tower, attempts were indeed made to grow crops such as bluegrass inside the tower.
But it seems that without some kind of light from outside the tower, the plants inside will soon die.
If humans don't leave the tower, it won't be long before they start killing each other for food.
Bai Wu thought about it and realized that the traveler's goal was to build up defenses near the well area and find a way to weaken the entire human camp.
Contacting the judge once and for all to find someone in the Jing family and then changing some powerful rules is something that a traveler can do.
Changing the rules is a crazy act that could potentially destroy the world. Someone once compared the rules of the world to the various parameters of a precision machine.
A slight change in one parameter and the world could collapse.
Just like the temperature in the human body, if it gets a little bit higher... you will die.
Of course, the people in the tower have changed now. Under the influence of the companion force, they can fight in temperatures of 70 or 80 degrees.
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. After all, on this island, life and death are controlled by me and the judge. For me, death is just merging with it. But for you, death means that all your efforts over the past seven hundred years will be gone."
Bai Wu thought for a long time and took on this task:
"I'll find a way to find the judge. I have to go now. Next time we meet, I hope you'll be just gray, not black. Also, you should remove the third test."
Gray Robe thought for a while, but finally shook his head and said:
"Some things are inevitable. Go back to that room and you will find your friends."
After the words fell, the gray robe disappeared.
Bai Wu returned to the room, and sure enough, Lin Wu Rou was sitting in the second seat with a confused look on his face.
"I actually fell asleep just now? I just had a dream. I dreamed that the door of the house opened, you all disappeared, and someone was wailing outside, and someone was calling my nickname."
"What's your nickname?"
"How could I possibly tell you that my nickname is Arou?"
"Okay, Arou. It's time for you to open the return wheel, Arou."
"grass!"
Bai Wu is really a little envious of Lin Wu Rou now.
"Where's Yin Shuang?"
"He went back ahead of us."
Bai Wu opened the return wheel, but this time, he did not see the same ending slogan as before:
There are still many secrets on this island. Since you have been recognized by the island owner in advance, we will assume that you have explored 50%. The next time you come here, maybe this area will be a black area. Oh, my dear old friend, I am depressed and sentimental because I have seen a grand reunion and farewell. Please keep your mask, it is something that can save your life.
