At this moment, there are two almost identical snapping fingers echoing around the simple house, except that one is real and the other is false, but if you don't know in advance, you must still think it's an echo.

No. 15 snapped his fingers, quickly raised one of his calves, pulled out a short knife, held it in his palm, and held it across his chest, his big eyes vigilantly scanning the wind and grass around him.

Zhao Man was even more shocked, the sleepiness just now had long since disappeared, she immediately "wore the mold", melted into the air, disappeared from the eyes of No. 15, and hid in her unique space to prevent a sneak attack.

The average elevation of this depression is about 20 meters below the sea surface, the deepest part is about 30 meters, and the shallowest place is more than 10 meters.

If there is no wind, the door will not open for no reason, and it will not be opened and then returned to its original state.

There are terrestrial birds in the surrounding woods, and there are many seabird nests on the cliffs of the coast, but there are no birds in the depression itself, at most there are some insects and ants, and even rodents such as wild mice are rare.

It was quiet, so quiet that I could hear Number 15's own breathing and heartbeat, but there was no other sound.

No. 15 jumped onto the roof of the house, looking down condescendingly, but did not see any suspicious figures.

After a while, Zhao Man appeared behind a tree and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone?"

"I didn't see it. ”

Number 15 shook his head, letting his guard down for the time being, but confiscated the dagger back.

"Will it ...... Is it the villagers' children running over to play?" Zhao Man breathed a sigh of relief.

Bear children are often more rebellious than adolescent teenagers and girls, and the more parents say they are not allowed to go, the more they may run, for example, if parents do not allow them to swim in the ditch, they have to go, until something happens to them to know that they are afraid.

This depression has lost children before, and the nearby villagers have always forbidden children to come here to play, and they will be beaten severely if they are caught, but they can't stand the luck of the bear children too strongly, and they always think that they are the one who is most favored by God.

During the time that Zhao Man and No. 15 lived here, they really met a few bear children who came to explore in groups, and then Zhao Man pretended to be a ghost and scared them into running away with their pants wet.

But the wildfire can't be burned, the spring breeze blows and grows again, this group of bear children was scared away, and it is not possible for another group of bear children to come, just in time for No. 15 and Zhao Man are not in the house, they may trespass without permission.

No. 15 also felt that this possibility could not be completely ruled out, so she jumped back on the ground and inspected each simple house one by one.

There is only one room in each simple house, and when you open the door, you can see that the floor of the other houses is thick with dust, and it is clear that no one has entered.

The house where No. 15 and Zhao Man live is the only house with a simple bathroom, which is why they chose this house, they cleaned it before they moved in, there was no ash on the floor, and it was impossible to see if anyone had come in.

Regardless of whether anyone had come in before, there was no one in the house anyway, and there was no sign of anything being turned.

"Is there anything missing?" Zhao Man also followed.

"It doesn't seem to be ...... It's strange because there's nothing missing. No. 15's suspicion was not dispelled, but became stronger, her eyes swept over Zhao Man's brand-new clothes and the snacks that Zhao Man liked to eat, "If the villagers' children broke in, would they not touch anything?

Zhao Man was stunned, "This is ......"

It is impossible to expect the bear child to be polite and obedient in someone else's house, not to mention that the owner is not at home, they see so many delicious foods, there is no reason not to eat happily, these snacks are high-end snacks bought by Zhao Man, and children in nearby villages and towns can only see them in advertisements before.

If the house is in shambles, then they can rest assured, because most of them are bear children crossing the border, but it is very abnormal to be so untouched.

"Will it ...... Is that the quality of that hair bad today?" Zhao Man whimsically.

Every time No. 15 and Zhao Man leave the room at the same time, the former will tie the door frame and doorknob with a hair before leaving, and there has never been a problem in the past, so the latter has long lost his vigilance and wants to push the door directly when he comes back today.

It is impossible for the hair to break off on its own, so the 15th will not turn a blind eye to the signs of crisis and bury his head in the sand like an ostrich.

"It shouldn't be the children of the villagers, but someone else, the people who came with a purpose, most likely the 33rd and 22nd. ”

Number 15's mind immediately remembered that she had met the wave of people last night, and she felt that they were the most suspicious.

"But how could they possibly find here?" Zhao Man questioned.

The two of them were careful enough when they left last night, not only wearing masks when renting a car, but also using fake documents, so it stands to reason that it is impossible to be followed.

No. 15 couldn't think of a reason, but she didn't dare to be careless, and said: "I don't know, but those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, we can't be lucky, even if it's not them, we have to prepare for it as if it were them." ”

"You mean...... Are we going to leave here?" Zhao Man asked, in fact, it didn't matter to her, she didn't care what would happen to the sect master, she would stay here just because the 15th was here, she couldn't wait to leave, this ghost place couldn't even take a bath, it was too uncomfortable for a young girl.

The 15th hesitated, "It should be about the same if you hold on for another day or two." ”

Zhao Man took this as a signal that he was about to leave, and he was immediately overjoyed.

But the question is how to get through these two days.

......

Layla sat in her private jet, looking out the window at the clouds and sipping her coffee, a little distracted.

Luisa slept in the cabin of the plane.

This journey takes the most time and effort to get out of the rainforest, and it is not until you get out of the rainforest and get into the buggy that the journey starts to accelerate.

Layla disbanded the mercenaries, paid the guide and translator as agreed, and together with Luisa and the bodyguards, first got into a propeller plane and flew from the nearest airstrip to the capital of the country, and then got on a private jet, but due to the long journey, to fly to the other side of the world, this private jet did not have enough fuel to fly directly to the whole flight, and stopped at other airports in the middle for refueling and refueling.

Flying east in a private jet, Layla and Luisa talked a lot about things, such as Layla's experience after dropping out of school, and Luisa also shared her daily life in the tribe, and the conversation was very lighthearted, even a little lighthearted.

Now that Luisa had gone to sleep, Layla finally had time to think about something more.

Before Luisa left, her human bone scepter was left in her seat, and the two black holes in the skull's sockets seemed to stare at Layla across from her.

Layla's last few conversations before leaving the tribe shocked Layla, both because the conversation itself was shocking, and because she was shocked at why she hadn't thought about it earlier.

yes, isn't it easy to think of? It's not even an exaggeration.

If the bones of a dead transcendent animal can have remnants of source energy that has not yet completely dissipated, what difference does it make for humans who are the spirits of all things?

No, if anything, the human spirit is stronger.

Human beings' ability to understand nature and transform nature comes from the powerful consciousness of human beings, and the various abilities of the transcendent are the best portrayal of the rich spiritual world of human beings...... It is not disrespectful to the witchcraft tribes, in terms of the richness of their abilities alone, the transcendent animals < the women who wear turbans< the witchcraft tribes < other transcendentals, and the more extraordinary the developed regions, the more diverse the types of abilities, because the transcendents in the developed regions are more knowledgeable and less constrained by their thoughts.

Even the monastery, which is extremely godly and devout, disseminates scientific knowledge to its nuns, and although they firmly believe that their abilities come from God, it does not prevent them from using science to deepen their understanding of their abilities.

When humans and animals die, does consciousness completely dissipate?

No one can give an indisputable answer unless they try to die, but the superposition of the collapse of source energy by conscious observation and the small amount of source energy left in the bones of animals after death faintly points to that answer.

Of course, the fact that the source energy will collapse when observed by consciousness is only a speculation of scientists, and it cannot be confirmed by experiments for the time being.

According to the existing theory, only the source energy in the body will be affected by consciousness, and the source energy scattered in the air, which scientists call "free state source energy", will not be affected by consciousness.

The interesting fact that only the source energy in the body is affected by consciousness is reminiscent of the "vipassana" of Eastern Taoism, and the Buddhist meditation has a similar concept, which is to observe the physical and mental reality inward through meditation.

It is said that the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology.

But the problem is that this makes it impossible to prove it through experiments, otherwise if the relationship between source energy and consciousness can be conclusively proven, then the answer to the previous question is coming out - consciousness does not completely dissipate after human and animal death.

Consciousness that does not completely dissipate can only be called by another term - soul.

Heaven and earth are heroic, and the autumn is still awe-inspiring.

Although there are more and more atheists, even atheists often subconsciously hope that they will leave something behind after death, even if people die like a lamp going out, there will be a puff of green smoke left, the green smoke slowly dissipates, infinitely diluted in the air, but never completely eliminated.

Human souls, which are far more powerful than animals, naturally have more source energy left in their bones, and Layla wondered why she hadn't thought of such a simple fact before.

She wasn't entirely to blame for this, not only did she not expect it, but it wasn't mentioned in any textbook she'd read about supernatural abilities.

There are so many smart people in this world, to say that everyone didn't expect it, it's unlikely, someone must have thought of it, but for some reason this truth has been suppressed.

Primitive tribes such as the Witchcraft Tribe, who had a tradition of keeping the skulls of their relatives and friends, should have been aware of this fact before anyone else.

Why should others who discover the truth keep it a secret?

Cause...... It's actually quite simple.

Layla shuddered.

The reason for not announcing it is nothing more than two reasons, one is to enjoy this secret and the benefits it brings, and the other is to worry that after this secret is made public, the world of the transcendent will become a slaughterhouse, and all the transcendent will be in danger.

If they knew the truth, they would have kept it a secret, but other individuals or organizations couldn't say for sure.

Layla finally fully understood why the witchcraft tribe was able to rise at an impressive speed, grow enough to compete with other large-scale organizations with more profound backgrounds in a short period of time, and faintly overpower, not only because of the appearance of Luisa, her appearance was just an opportunity, but also because every member of the witchcraft tribe who died, part of their power would be inherited by a new generation of members...... It's scary.

On the way, Layla learned that the mortality rate of the witchcraft tribe has been very low in recent years, except for the few members who were killed by Lilith, only two or three hunters at most died every year when they were out hunting when they encountered too powerful beasts, after all, the witchcraft tribe did not have the role of a physician before, and this shortcoming was made up by Luisa, she activated the ability of a young girl, and this girl became the witch doctor of the tribe.

But much earlier, before Luisa and Layla were born, the death rate of the witchcraft tribe was not low in order to lay a foundation for themselves, and many members defected from other places, after all, in that part of Africa, boys as young as five or six years old were armed with AK47s.

The skulls of the dead members were all left behind, including the skulls of the hostile transcendents who came to provoke them, and these skulls became a treasure of the tribe that is still in full use to this day.

Who says the witchcraft tribes are so poor? They have a fortune that no other big organization has!

As Layla pondered, her private ...... The stewardess came over and whispered:

"Miss, sorry to interrupt, the front is about to arrive at the destination, the plane is ready to land, please fasten your seat belt. ”

Layla came to her senses, nodded, and fastened her seatbelt.

"Do you need me to wake up that companion of yours?" asked the stewardess again, her eyes sneaking a glance at the skull scepter on Luisa's seat, the crew members were of high quality, but when they saw this scepter, they still couldn't help but panic.

"Go ahead. ”

Layla waved her hand, put her thoughts aside for a moment, and regrouped her mood, it was time to say goodbye to her cousin after a long absence.

Stealing incense
