Second floor, awesome guy? Go upstairs more gently
I admit that I had an illusion at this moment. I felt that I was not in a so-called ghost town, but that I had traveled to some place. In short, no matter how weird this place is, it should not be a world of ghosts!
Because in my understanding, ghosts do not have a yang body, and there are no restrictions in the material world. I can only say that this place, the owner here, has given the ghosts here a great dream. What kind of ability is this?
After the illusion, I felt powerless all over my body, because I knew that this place was a dream-like existence, and I was unable to break through the essence of this dream, but I was trapped in it.
This feeling of powerlessness is like letting me directly face the powerlessness of a powerful being who built a secret ghost market. However, I don't need to face the power of the ghost market, and the owner here is basically my enemy.
Although the child's serious reminder made me have such complicated emotions, I was still prepared to do it, but Xiao Chengqian was always a guy unwilling to be lonely. He shouted: "What kind of guy is on the second floor? I'm afraid Is it coming? Once you know us, you don’t have to be afraid."
"Oh my God, are you the most brainless young man in the world?" Brother Chengxin was helpless as he walked behind Xiao Chengqian. He subconsciously covered Xiao Chengqian's mouth, but we are soul-like existences, is this possible? In fact, he actually covered Xiao Chengqian's mouth. Xiao Chengqian glared at Brother Chengxin fiercely, but was unable to break away for a moment.
This is not good news for me. The more real it is, the more powerful the owner of this city is. This can be seen from the influence of this illusion projected deep into the soul. Cover your mouth. , is it also achievable
Just like in fact, Brother Chengxin couldn't cover Xiao Chengqian's mouth at all, but his soul and Xiao Chengqian's soul both told them to cover it at the same time, and this false fact was established.
Thinking of this, I frowned slightly. The numbness and curiosity I felt when I entered the city had completely turned into pressure, and this pressure was present all the time throughout the city.
Our farce aroused the dissatisfaction of the owner here, the child, who whispered: "I want to be truly free, but rather than becoming a stepping stone or nourishment for others, I would rather stay here in pain. Even if the years are endless. If you are willing to be my guest, please respect me. If not, just leave?"
I glared at Xiao Chengqian. Brother Chengxin let go of Xiao Chengqian's mouth, and Xiao Chengqian became quiet. After all, the master here has spoken. He may be the second most eldest, but he is not the most rude.
Guests and hosts, we finally chose to go upstairs with a glance at the child, silently and lightly, and the sound of breathing did not exist in this state, and the rest was only the sound of the old wooden stairs. the sound of.
In this way, it took a lot of effort to reach the third floor. What came into view was a wooden corridor with three rooms lined up.
The child breathed a sigh of relief and said to us: "Finally we are here. Every time that 'person' downstairs..." At this point, it smiled bitterly and then said: "We shouldn't call it 'person' anymore." Well, I didn’t expect that after being a ghost for hundreds of years, I would never forget the habits of being a human being for ten years.”
This sentence is a bit desolate. Yes, what a wonderful experience it is to be a human being. The real suffering is covered up by the colorful world. Many people are grateful. I don’t know how many reincarnations I have before I have a chance to be a human being. How can I forget it so quickly
It is a pity that human beings are the most painful. It is the most soul-refining one among countless reincarnations! Because the human body gives the soul the ability to think, and thinking derives many things, such as sex, emotions, life, old age, illness and death. Animals do not need to endure such pain, but humans do! Isn’t it bitter? But we can't forget the pain. Is this why the gods laugh at the world and can't see through it? Or, it is the most painful opportunity given by God. This time it is not broken. Well, let's continue reincarnation. We will reach the real other shore one time.
Once again, I was distracted by a sentence, but I heard Chengyuan exclaim in a low voice: "Have you been a ghost for hundreds of years? Then you..."
The child did not answer directly, but walked to the last room at the end of the corridor, opened the door of that room, and said to us: "Come in, and we will talk after you come in."
So, we didn't talk about it anymore in the corridor, but followed the child into his room.
The room is not small, about 50 square meters, but it is an empty room without any partitions or walls. As soon as you enter the room, you can see the room clearly.
A fairly small wooden bed, a wooden table, a few stools, and a few boxes made up everything in this room.
"If I were more capable, my room could look better." This was the first thing the child said to us. While talking, it was cleaning the table, and then asked us to help put the table on the bed. Next, he spread out the stools in rows, and then said a little happily: "This should be enough to sit, you guys sit down."
Looking at its slightly happy expression, I felt a trace of unbearability in my heart. This is what is called, if there is a little enthusiasm, there will be a lot of loneliness
The bed was placed by the window and made into a bed and stool. We could also see everything on the street from the window, but what was there to see? The streets are full of lunatics, and they are facing an inn that is so quiet that there is not even a shopkeeper or a waiter...
"Here, everyone, no, every ghost is given an ability, that is, the ability to turn the life in your heart and desire into reality! You newcomers must know this ." As soon as we sat down, before we had time to speak, the child started talking to himself.
This is the question I most want to ask it, because as soon as it entered the house, it said that it was not capable enough, otherwise the house could be more beautiful.
But I don’t know if it’s because it’s been lonely for too long. Before I had time to ask, it had already dragged its jaw and continued talking.
Its image is a little boy with a round face and red cheeks. Looking at it this way, he looks a bit like Hui Gen'er when he was a child. It doesn't look like he has experienced vicissitudes of life, but he is as cute as a little boy. I I won’t ask anymore and let him say enough at once.
From its mouth, we learned some of the rules of this city. For example, this kind of housing is basically full of evil ghosts. The lowest-level existences wandering on the streets are completely suppressed by resentment. , except for hatred, the guy who doesn’t have much thinking ability and just wants to vent his hatred is the guy who fends for himself on the street.
And those who have stayed in this city for a long time will get a house like this. How long will they stay? The children told us that it is twenty years, except for special circumstances of course! As for what the special situation was, it didn't have time to tell us before it talked about the next question, which is also the question I want to know most.
Such a house is empty at first, but in the city you will gain the ability to realize the environment. For ghosts, creating illusions that affect people's souls is as simple as running. The only difficulty is self-influence, which is almost An impossible task, just like you lie to others, how can you also lie to yourself
"Of course, you don't have unlimited access to Yang Shi. The most you can do is add a few pieces of furniture and decorations to your room. That's the limit! However, don't underestimate such decorations. At least they are more similar to Yang Shi. The more you can forget the pain of being dead." This is how the child explained to us.
It sounds a bit sad, but what does this ability mean? It seems to have some connection with the owner of this city (didn’t it create such a big dream?), but where is the connection, I don’t know at all now Can't think of it either.
"After talking so much, I forgot to tell you my name. My surname is Zhu, my given name is Zhuo, and my courtesy name is Li Zhi. When my father gave me such a name and character, it means that if I want to become a superb and extraordinary person, I must work hard. But... But what's the use of saying this? I died before I was ten years old, how could I become a superb and extraordinary person? Later in the world of the sun, I couldn't let go of my parents and my family, so I stopped reincarnation. As a result, , my family has added two younger brothers, plus my eldest brother before his death. My parents have focused their attention on them, so how can they remember me? So I won’t give up my name. You can just call me boy. , I'm too lazy to think about my parents in Yangshi, it's boring." It turns out that its name is Zhu Zhuo, but looking at its appearance, it doesn't want to mention this name again.
I felt sensitively that when this child said this, although he was very old-fashioned, he could not suppress the sadness in his heart, and resentment had already formed. Could it be that this seemingly normal Zhu Zhuo was also an injustice
I frowned when I thought of this, but Zhu Zhuo was more concerned about this matter than me. He jumped up suddenly and said: "How could I say this? I feel like I am complaining about my parents! The master said that there should be no resentment. We must understand the truth that fate is gone and we can let it go. Why am I resentful again? Will I become like that sooner or later? No, no! I can't walk into the city and become like that again. , wouldn’t it be more painful than death?”
It was talking to itself, very panicked, but I found that I couldn't understand a word! However, no matter how hard I understood, I caught a key word in the sentence.
But before I had time to ask, Hui Gen'er over there had already asked: "You said, there is a master here?"
