Chapter 3: Erased Traces (Collect, Recommend)

Ah Jiu's heart was suddenly filled with courage. "Live. ”

"What do you want?" Ah Jiu's eyes were no longer filled with fear, but instead with a gaze of courage and perseverance, looking directly at Prajna.

"Quite simply, I want to make a deal with you to give you the strength to take back what you want, and instead give me your body. I've been locked up here for too long. I have been asleep for many years, and your anger has awakened me, and I know that the anger in your heart is much more than that, and that you have not yet glimpsed the truth of the world. Prajna smiled.

Boundless night, unchanging darkness.

Ah Jiu stood up from the darkness.

Standing tall like a mountain, Ah Jiu pointed to Prajna and asked loudly, "Tell me, what is the truth?"

"Boom. Prajna didn't rush to answer, and strange laughter echoed in the boundless darkness.

"Do you know how many years have passed since you were born here?" Prajna did not answer directly, but asked Ah Jiu rhetorically.

"Nineteen is more than enough. Ah Jiu replied very truthfully.

"Wrong, very wrong, forty-seven years, if you were in the mortal world, you would have been almost a half-cut old man at this moment, you see how young and strong you are now, just because you are just repeating your boring life over and over again in a dream. That's the truth you want. ”

"Forty-seven years, impossible, in order to remember the time, I have carved marks on the wall every day, ten days for one horizontal, one hundred days for a bunch, one circle for a year, and now there are nineteen circles and seven horizontal bars on the wall, you are lying to me. Ah Jiu obviously didn't believe Prajna's words.

"You're talking about this wall? With a wave of his palm, the light in his palm flew out of the light of the fireflies, illuminating a gap, the gap was like a hanging mirror, and the mirror was just shining on the wall that Ah Jiu said, the wall was indeed engraved with nineteen circles and seven horizontal bars, and the strength went from shallow to deep, and the traces of the first circle had been blurred, leaving only shallow white marks.

"Look again, Truly. "Waiting quietly, it's like watching a good show, waiting for the actors to perform on stage.

Ah Jiu also looked at himself seriously behind the suspended mirror, and soon night fell in the picture, only the faint moonlight and starlight shone through the gap in the bricks, illuminating the ruined temple.

Soon he saw a familiar figure, a tall and burly body in the dark night slowly walked to the wall, knelt down on the wall, slowly raised his right hand, and used the small stone in his hand to slowly scrape the traces of the nineteenth circle.

The whole process is like a puppet being manipulated, numbly repeating the actions in hand again and again.

This person, Ah Jiu is extremely familiar, this person is himself.

Soon the traces of the nineteenth circle were smoothed out as if they had never existed.

At the same time, there is also the time of Ah Jiu's year.

The picture did not stop dissipating here, but in order to deepen Ah Jiu's cognition of reality, if he stretched out a finger and crossed the air, the scene in the hanging mirror turned to the stars in an instant, day and night constantly alternated, spring flowers and autumn moons, summer and winter snow.

A year has passed, and Ah Jiu looks at himself in the picture repeating all his daily routines, but he feels a malice from the depths of his soul.

I feel helpless and cold in my heart.

When Ah Jiu in the picture saw that the sunset on the last day of winter was about to pass, he stood up from the temple gate, walked to the lime wall that recorded the passing time and the traces of his own existence, and picked up the stone in the corner of the wall that had been sharpened by himself.

Scraped off all the horizontal bundles of the year, and drew a perfect circle.

Tomorrow is a new day. At that time, Ah Jiu's heart was happy.

At this moment, Ah Jiu can still recall the feeling in his heart when he drew the circle, but he can no longer feel the slightest pleasure.

Everything is like a gear that keeps moving forward, repeatedly, Ah Jiu thinks he is moving forward, but under the control of others, he draws endless circles with his own life.

Far from end, this is not the most terrible prison of time.

The cage of time, the invisible shackles, bind the helpless Ah Jiu.

So what about Ah Jiu, what did Ah Jiu do wrong, and who should be punished like this, and who punished him.

Ah Jiu's heart was like a crescent moon rising at the moment, but it was bitten by a wild dog.

"You did it. Ah Jiu turned around angrily and glared at Pranya, no wonder Ah Jiu is surprisingly angry now, if anyone knows that the life they have spent is just an illusion manipulated by others, they will undoubtedly collapse, they will despair, all kinds of emotions come to their hearts, and they can't accept it for a while, and Ah Jiu is angry.

Angrily swung his fist and shot at Prajna.

Ah Jiu has fought with wild boars and jackals countless times in the barren mountains, and has cultivated agility and strength beyond ordinary people in the natural experience.

And then even if it is a power beyond ordinary people, it is still so small in the face of the unknown power of ghosts and gods.

Ah Jiu's angry fist didn't touch the corner of Praruo's clothes at all, Ah Jiu used too much force, and the fist hit Praruo's body like a black cloud, and it passed through directly.

When Ah Jiu stood up, Prajna condensed from the black mist and reappeared behind him.

"No, no, no, your misunderstanding is a big one, your helpless and desperate look, even if I like it very much, but it doesn't do me the slightest benefit to trap you here. ”

Praruo's expression did not change in the slightest, and his red eyes actually curved slightly, obviously feeling inexplicably happy at Ah Jiu's questioning, just like watching a child with no strength swing his fist at him.

"What do I look like? Like a bad person, right? Just because I am a person who is the same on the outside, there are many hypocrisies in this world, and only my real evil is the most real. Praruo actually stretched out his arm and patted Ah Jiu's shoulder, like a senior teaching a junior. "Don't worry, I told you that I'm here to help you. I have told countless lies in my life, but this one, if you don't believe it, you can't do it. I just thought it was ......"

"You don't have a choice. ”

"You fart!" Ah Jiu pushed away Prajna's arm in disgust. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I said I would help you, but you need to pay a small price, you are not the only one trapped here, but I am the only one who can help you get out of this cage, as long as you hand over the control of your body, I can help you get out of this hellish place. For example, my eyes, my tongue, my nose, my hands and feet, I'm not a picky eater."

"Not only will I help you get out of this cage, but I'll also tell you why you're imprisoned here, and I'll even tell you who your enemies are, and give you the power to take revenge, if you pay the price. ”

"Are you saying that as long as I give you a part of my body, you can tell me the truth, take me out of here, and give me the power for revenge?" Ah Jiu sat on the ground with his head bowed, as if thinking about the pros and cons.

"That's right. Prajna's answer is very simple, he knows that the shortest words are the most powerful when it comes to promise.

"Sounds good. "Ah Jiu seems to have made a decision.

"Then what is your answer?" If you only wait for Ah Jiu to voluntarily express her acceptance, the demon's contract can be established, and the blood of Prajna is cold, but Prajna is no different at the moment, and his heart is beating very fast, which is the result of waiting excitedly, just like watching the ripe fruit about to land.

"However, I refuse to !!" Ah Jiu had already raised his head at this moment, and anger burst out of his eyes.

"Ha~ tell me the truth, take me out of here, and give me the power of revenge? You just want me to be a puppet at your mercy, from a wild dog trapped by people to a puppet who is held by people and walks, what are you kidding, my Chen Ajiu, what I like the most, is to say to people who think they are stronger than me, no!"
