"Why suicide?"

A hoarse voice from a certain direction in the darkness echoed in Ji Jun's ears.

Ji Jun opened his heavy eyes and found that only sticky darkness was wandering around him. "What happened?" Ji Jun thought to himself, "Oh, I'm killing myself...... This must be death, right?Is this hell?or heaven?" Ji Jun wanted to move his limbs, but found himself tied to a chair. "Could it be that he is waiting to be sentenced by Lord Yama?" Ji Jun thought in his heart as he curiously looked at this place that he didn't know if it was hell or heaven, but there was only a sticky darkness around him. "Was someone talking just now?" Ji Jun just wanted to open his mouth and ask when it was his turn to be sentenced, and after the sentence was over, he would go to hell to serve his sentence as soon as possible—because people who commit suicide will not be forgiven.

Suddenly, a strong light tore a crack in this boundless darkness, shining straight on Ji Jun's face, Ji Jun subconsciously wanted to block it with his hand, but his hand was still tied to the chair, and Ji Jun had to lower his head and close his eyes to avoid the strong light.

"Why suicide?" said a hoarse voice from the source of the bright light.

"Hey!" Ji Jun lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, and shouted in his mouth, "Am I dead?"

"Nope. A hoarse voice replied.

"I'm not dead, then where am I? I remember that I jumped off the bridge on Baihe Road, I can't swim, and the Baihe River is so wide, I fell in the middle of the river, and no one can find me at night, how could I not die?" Ji Jun said, his tone trembling a little. I finally mustered up the courage to say goodbye to the world, do I want to go back to that painful world? No! Absolutely not!

"I saved you. Because you're dead, I'm going to be bothered. The hoarse voice said softly.

"Why save me?!" Ji Jun raised his head and ignored the impact of the bright light, and roared hysterically at the other side of the light.

"Actually, your life is in my hands now, you are not alive, you are not dead, if I want you to live, you just need to walk out of here, if I want you to die, you will go to Hades immediately. ”

"I'll calm down for a moment...... My mind is too messy......" Ji Jun closed his eyes and pondered for a while before speaking, "Is there really a Hades?"

"Of course not. ”

"And who are you going to send me to? Satan or Lucifer?"

"Hey, hey, the point now is not to send you to meet anyone!! suddenly the hoarse voice became sharp, like a chicken singing with a pinched throat.

"What about Satan and Lucifer? They don't want me either?" asked Ji Jun.

"No Satan! no Lucifer!" the chicken crowed again, then resumed its old hoarse voice and said, "Why kill yourself?"

Ji Jun fell into deep thought, in this dark space, time doesn't seem to flow, Ji Jun feels that he should be silent for ten years, no! should be seventeen years, because he only lived for seventeen years, he recalled his life from the beginning, including when he was still a tadpole, how he worked hard to rush to the championship, so Ji Jun felt that he should be silent for seventeen years.

"It's complicated...... I don't know what to say...... If you want to sentence me to serve my sentence, I am willing to accept it. Ji Jun thought of something and asked, "How long has it just passed?"

"Five minutes and thirty-two seconds. As soon as the hoarse voice fell, the chicken that pinched its throat appeared again: "I said that there is something wrong with you! Why do you have to commit suicide? I wonder if you will increase my work burden for no reason?"

"Are you black and white impermanence?" Ji Jun wondered.

"I said, there is no Hades, no Satan, no Lucifer, no black and white impermanence!" the chicken sang wildly in a shrill voice.

"Then who are you?" said Ji Jun.

"The God of Primordial, the God of Ancestors, and the God of Oneness......"

"Stop, stop, I haven't heard of any of these mentioned. Ji Jun was speechless.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, I just made it up. ”

"Anyway, you're a god, right?" asked Ji Jun.

"According to your human conceptions, I am indeed a god. ”

"Then you're Hades, or are you doing chores for Hades, or I'm going to meet you when I'm dead." Ji Jun asked.

"Didn't I say there is no Hades! And you're not dead, I saved you!"

"Then why are you saving me?" asked Ji Jun.

"So the question is, so many people die every day in the world, why do I have to save you?"

"Thorn ......"

"Of course I'm not full, I have nothing to do!" Before Ji Jun finished speaking, the chicken began to sing.

"It's not...... I mean, your light is too strong, dazzling, can you turn it off?" Ji Jun said aggrievedly.

"Okay, let's get down to business, why did you commit suicide?"

"Why do you keep worrying about why I committed suicide?

"That's the problem, if you die, I'll be very troubled, and it should be said that if you die, I'll be in pain. ”

"So why the hell?" asked Ji Jun.

"That's my job, purifying the energy and returning it to nature. ”

"Purifying energy?"

"When each person or animal dies, the energy generated by the emotions of his life will be released into nature, such as pain, joy, joy, sorrow, etc., and if the energy generated by these emotions is left untouched in the world, it will cause harm, and I am responsible for purifying the energy released into nature after the death of the living beings to be pure and immaculate, and then returning it to nature. Otherwise, do you think it will be easy for Mother Earth to feed you turtle grandchildren?"

"Then why save me?" asked Ji Jun.

"There are two reasons, first, because if you die, my career is almost over. According to your human words, almost all of your life is creating negative energy, and the negative energy generated by emotions at that moment when a person commits suicide is extremely terrifying, and the energy generated by you is more than one hundred and eighty times stronger than that of other suicides, so if you die, let your energy alone, it will kill more people, and if I absorb your energy, I will probably retire one hundred and fifty years early. ”

"Why do I kill more people? So many people die every day in the world, why does it cause so much harm if I die?" Ji Jun said.

"That's the second reason why I saved you, because when the energy is not purified in time, it will appear. As he spoke, his hoarse voice suddenly became gloomy.

"It?"

"So nature is very magical, everything in the world is relative, since there is a digester of energy, there is naturally a destroyer of energy - ember. ”

"Ash? You still play LOL?"

"I said can you be serious?" the chicken came out again, and then the old man who took over began to speak: "Ember is also an energy body like me, it has existed since the beginning of life on earth, but it has never appeared. But recently there has been a problem in this area under my jurisdiction, seven people have committed suicide in three months, and you are the eighth, and the energy you released when you committed suicide was so huge that I had to save you, and by the way, I would like to ask you if your death has anything to do with the embers. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's purely personal, it's just despair for the world. Ji Jun said.

"I didn't expect you to be a non-mainstream. A hoarse voice said.

"So I'm not going to die now?" asked Ji Jun.

"No, you must die, because I saved you, violating the laws of nature, and once this law is violated, I am afraid that something more terrible will happen than the appearance of the embers. A hoarse voice said.

"Then what now? I'll jump into the river again? But didn't you say that if I die now, you will retire one hundred and fifty years early?" Ji Jun suddenly had an idea and said, "Hey! There is a way! You can just find a different energy body to take the shift!"

"You're talking lightly! It will be at least three hundred years before nature gives birth to my next successor, and I'm going to retire early, and the area I'm in charge of is almost finished! The energy bodies in other regions are also a radish and a pit, and now each energy body has a heavy burden, who called you a large human population, do you think it was thousands of years ago?"

"You're still an organization?"

"How can I be the only purifier of the earth's size?"

"You call the Purifier?"

"You can actually call me a crow. ”

"Okay Crow, the problem now is that if I die, it will make you retire early, but I will have to die, or something worse will happen than the appearance of Ember. Ji Jun pondered, and then his expression became painful: "I refuse...... If I continue to live in the world, I will generate more negative energy as you say, and I will not live for three hundred years at all, and I will die until seventy or eighty, and if I die again, you will still retire directly, so you still end up with me now!"

"I have a way around this. Raven said.

As if he saw hope, he hurriedly raised his head regardless of the bright light, stared at a dark shadow at the light source and asked, "What way?"

"You can sign a contract with me. Raven said.

"Contract? You're pretty non-mainstream. Ji Jun said.

"It's okay if you call it a contract. ”

"Whatever, you can say anything. ”

"What I mean by retiring one hundred and fifty years early is to include other people's deaths, I don't know what's going on in this area under my jurisdiction, the number of people who can suppress more than the safe value is increasing every day, if you can help me try to persuade a few people who can suppress too much, that is, persuade them not to commit suicide and live well, even if I exchange my happiness for the next three hundred years, for you to die, I can resist the past. When the time comes, when I can't feel that much huge energy pressure on my side, you can commit suicide with peace of mind. Raven said.

"I think so...... It should be possible......" Ji Jun said.

"Alright, let's sign the contract now. Raven said.

"It's a contract ......," Ji Jun reminded.

"Okay, you say a contract is a contract!" the crow made another chicken sound.

"I mean, this contract or a contract or something, what the hell is it?" asked Ji Jun.

"Of course, it's a contract or contract that signs a contract or contract where the number of suicides you dissuade will automatically die after the pressure generated by the number of suicides you dissuade reaches the safe value on my side. You should have died now, I went against the laws of nature to rescue you, and if I let you go back and you don't want to die, wouldn't I be embarrassed? If you hadn't died, maybe something would have happened, a nuclear bomb exploded, a landslide, a meteorite landslide, and ...... landslide."

"Okay, I can't sign it......" Ji Jun thought for a while and said, "Is there a time limit for this contract?"

"Nonsense, of course there is, by the end of the year. If the contract expires and you don't complete the mission, you will automatically die, and when you die, it will be the moment when I die. Raven said solemnly: "No one knows what terrible things will happen at that time." ”

"Okay, I know, I'll sign it, as long as I can die anyway. Ji Jun said.

"Then you come to me, and I'll sign it for you. Raven said.

"I can go over a fart, I'm tied up by you. Ji Jun muttered.

"Alright, the rope is gone, come here. Raven said.

"Where are you going?" said Ji Jun and stood up from the chair and rubbed his wrists that were tied red and swollen.

"Behind the light, just come over. Raven said.

Ji Jun hesitated for a moment, but walked over slowly, imagining in his heart what the purifier of energy should look like?

"You can't be a demon with horns on your head, a tail and wings behind you, and a mouth full of fangs, right?" Ji Jun asked as he walked, "Or a cute little elf with delicate blonde hair and blue eyes?"

"I have wings, fangs, I'd like to, and hair, I've got it, but it's black. Raven said.

Ji Jun walked behind the light source, there was only a bird cage on a dilapidated wooden table, and a crow in the cage was standing on a wooden branch across the cage, staring at Ji Jun with yellow eyes.

"Are you really a crow?" Ji Jun said in surprise, then picked up a small wooden branch on the table and reached into the cage to tease the crow.

"Do you want to play again, believe it or not, I'll tie you up again?" said the crow, and spread its wings and screamed at Ji Jun outside the cage.

"Okay, I'm not playing, let's sign the contract, where is the paper and pen?" asked Ji Jun.

"If you want paper and pen, you just open the cage and put your hand in. Raven said.

Ji Jun opened the cage and put his right hand in according to the crow's words, only to see the crow jump back and forth on the wooden branch a few times, and then stretched out his head and pecked Ji Jun's palm with his beak, and black blood beads immediately came out.

"Okay, that's it. Raven said.

"Your peck hurts too much!" Ji Jun stretched out his hand back and complained.

"You can go now, and I'll send you the list then. Raven said.

"Where to go?" asked Ji Jun.

"Go through the door! the door is behind you!" said Raven helplessly.

"Are you tying me up for fear that I will bully you?" Ji Jun looked at the crow in the cage and smiled evilly.

"Of course not, I'm afraid you'll rush into the river outside the house as soon as you wake up!" said Raven angrily.

"Then I'm leaving. Ji Jun said.

"Wait, there's bird food under the table, you pour me some into the bowl. Raven said.

"Okay, Primordial God, you're a birdman with a lot of. Reluctantly, Ji Jun took out a packet of bird food from under the table and poured it into the crow's small bowl.

"You didn't answer my question from the beginning, why did you kill yourself?" asked the crow as he pecked.

"It's your business, I'm leaving. Ji Jun put one hand into the pocket of his sweatshirt and made a bow gesture to the crow behind him with one hand. Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, outside is the beach of the White River, the moonlight is gently sprinkled on the White River, and there is a thin white mist floating on the river, Ji Jun looked up at the moon in the sky and said to himself: "It turns out that the moon is full!"
