212. Karma II
The face gradually changed, Xuanyuan Yu's figure became illusory, Lin Ziyue looked at the edges and corners of her face becoming cold, and her eyes returned to a cold with a slight chill, and the inexplicable charm was also restrained, but Lin Ziyue always had an inexplicable panic.
I ...... myself just now No, the more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel.
Meng Li looked at her: "Maybe it's good for you to promise me?" β
"Don't make a fuss! That's because you put Xuanyuan Yu's face on the front of meβ"
Meng Li interrupted her, and it seemed that she didn't intend to listen to Lin Ziyue's reply at all: "Tsk, it's a quibble! I've managed to get some buffer time, and if there's anything you'd like to ask, you can ask now. Rest assured, although Strawberry is still there, she can't interfere with the direct process of the trial, otherwise it will be interrupted directly. β
Interrupted to speak, Lin Ziyue's brain, which was still a little chaotic, turned back into operation, and the effect of the purple mist she had inhaled before seemed to dissipate, and she quickly glanced at the black shadow that kept extending from the horizon, knowing that she would not have much time.
Although Lin Ziyue still didn't dare to look at Meng Li, if she just asked a question, she could still talk to Meng Li with a cheeky face, after all, this was the right thing: "The first one, the purpose of the trial." β
"I thought you had an idea after you went through greed. Just to make you stronger. β
Lin Ziyue couldn't help it, and glared at him with disgust, with a little anger: "Is it necessary to do this!?"
Meng Li's expression was as usual, and he did not avoid Lin Ziyue's complaining gaze: "Although you have experienced a lot of things, most of them are inherited from the outside world, not the result of your own efforts. For you to gather our idea of what is meant to be the Book of Destiny, then you should have some idea of his plan. β
Lin Ziyue nodded at this time and put away her temper: "I know, he wants to use me as a shield against V, so it makes sense that he wants me to gain strength." So the next question, what's the content of the trial?"
"I don't need to explain the seven deadly sins, but for something more in-depth, I think it's better to mention you. Of course, I can't tell you what's next...... However, as for how you choose to face it, that is the nature of the power you end up with. β
Meng Li's eyes suddenly flickered: "But this power is also a double-edged sword for you." Becoming a demon and becoming a god were originally between one thought. β
The black shadow in the distance was already approaching, but a few meters away, it would engulf Lin Ziyue and Meng Li in the next second, her gaze finally returned to calm, but Meng Li showed a trace of reluctance.
Lin Ziyue asked the last question with great difficulty: "But I inherited the seven deadly sins, what about you?"
There was no answer to her question, only a sigh from Meng Li, and then he was swallowed up by the darkness with this sigh.
Lin Ziyue closed her eyes and let the darkness erode her body.
It's a dark ocean, but it's warm like a reassuring embrace.
The sound of strawberries seemed to come from far, far away.
"Of course we're not going away, we're just going to be dormant. Demons are immortal, but of course their power can be plundered. β
Her voice was indeed a demon's whisper, which made Lin Ziyue feel extremely heavy guilty.
"What do you think it will cost to catalyze a god-like into a complete body?"
Lin Ziyue was silent, closing her eyes in the dark ocean, although the voice of the strawberry no longer sounded, but the words and the meaning conveyed in them continued to echo in Lin Ziyue's heart.
Strawberry forcibly pushed himself to be promoted, and used himself to stand in the way between the disagreement between the Book of Destiny and V, and he actually had to pay such a price?
It's no wonder that every time he asked, he kept silent, Lao Yan would be silent for a long time before avoiding the topic, and he didn't reveal anything to himself, and he thought that they didn't know the content of the specific trial.
Now it seems that it is precisely because they know so well that they avoid the topic so much.
The darkness obscured her vision, but Lin Ziyue didn't intend to open her eyes, she just let herself be immersed in the darkness, and it seemed to be sinking all the time......
Only thoughts are in a silence full of depression and entanglement, spitting out bubbles one by one.
And then punctured by this unbearable multiple-choice question.
Lin Ziyue didn't know, she obviously thought that she would not hesitate a long time ago, but now she was suddenly faced with such a choice.
Regardless of their identity, at least Yijian and Lao Yan are their friends, and Bella is also a very familiar person, although Strawberry has always been hostile, but also helped herself......
Lin Ziyue really couldn't take away the power of their titles like this, so as to take a step beyond the mortal.
She couldn't bear it.
But what can be done?
Indeed, this seems better than such a cruel decision.
Surrounded by warm darkness, you want to sleep forever......
"But isn't that just an escape?"
Lin Ziyue opened her eyes slightly, and a light was reflected in the boundless darkness.
Like a sword, like moonlight, like stardust, like a corner of the sun.
"Running away is laziness. β
This sentence was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, sticking to Lin Ziyue's body and making her want to sleep in the darkness, and smashed it hard.
The light penetrated from everywhere, like a gentle hand, gently caressing Lin Ziyue's face and passing through her hair.
Lin Ziyue was sure that an inaudible chuckle came out of the light.
Then the stronger and stronger light covered her vision, not dazzling, but just enveloping her, and Lin Ziyue felt that she was soaking in the warm water that the light turned into.
"Is that you, Bella?"
Bella's voice came from the endless light, no longer as staccato as she usually spoke: "Maybe you really are an answer. Our Seven Deadly Sins were originally meant to be used as a means to balance sentient beings and guide the destruction of god-like beings, but now we are asked to help a god-like person ascend, such a thing is actually strange, isn't it?"
Lin Ziyue's pupils dilated because of the information revealed by this sentence, and although she couldn't say that she was shocked, she still had a sense of horror: "The real leader of the Seven Deadly Sins is actually Yun, not Strawberry...... If you tell me this, won't Strawberry blame you?"
Bella's voice was cheerful, as if she had let go of some burden: "She rebukes me and can't stop me, anyway, I'll fall into a deep sleep after that...... Being able to spend a long time in a beautiful dream forever is something that makes me happier than anything else. β
"Bella......
Bella's voice suddenly became ethereal, as if through a veil, and came vaguely: "You have to be careful...... Not all of them ...... I hope you can complete the trial......"
Be careful, this is the last warning that Bella left for Lin Ziyue.
Then the white light in front of Lin Ziyue's eyes faded, and she was still sitting at the bottom of the cabin, with waves and blue outside the porthole, constantly washing on the layer of glass, as if she was looking at the scene in the house.
It was this empty room again, Lin Ziyue touched herself, leaving no traces, everything before seemed extremely real in her feelings, but after she spent that time, the memories of that short moment became extremely illusory.
It's as if there is an extension between the past and the present, constructing a disconnect.
Sure enough, all this is the embodiment of some kind of spiritual world.
As for whose spiritual world this is?
Just look at the unaffected strawberries that keep appearing.
Lin Ziyue sat on the edge of the bed, and just as she thought like this, the door naturally opened.
Sure enough, Strawberry walked in again, but his face was not very good, and his tone was very impulsive as soon as he spoke: "You are so capable of pouring ecstasy soup into others?" Obviously, charm is Asmon's ability, and weakening the mind is Bella's specialty, but they all fall to you one by one, making my boss so faceless?"
Lin Ziyue grimaced at her, and replied with great disgust: "It's obviously your own personality charm, right? Looking at your lazy appearance, I guess you must be the kind of shopkeeper who is privately complained by employees every day." β
Strawberry raised her eyebrows, and her angry coquettishness made her look more and more beautiful: "Then you can blame me! Originally, it was my duty to assign tasks to them~"
Lin Ziyue waved her hand: "I won't talk to you about this." You have to show up because it's only when you talk to me that you can take advantage of this opportunity to do the excesses of sinful karma, right? β
"You're so sharp and boring!
Strawberry seemed to hate being exposed very much, so she reflexively walked out of the cabin and slammed the door slammed shut, as if she wanted to slam the door directly on Lin Ziyue's face.
Lin Ziyue tilted her head sideways: "Hmm...... You're really a transition. And then, what's next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
It was Selot who entered the door, and here his figure returned to the same figure that Lin Ziyue had seen him for the first time, slender and tall, and the scar on his face was more noticeable than he was at all times.
Selot respectfully leaned over Lin Ziyue: "First of all, I want to apologize for my rudeness when we first met. Secondly, we hope that you can make good use of our power. β
Lin Ziyue didn't speak, she always felt that Selot meant something else.
Seeing that Lin Ziyue didn't react, Selote knew that she probably sensed the meaning of her words, and laughed lightly, but even if there was a smile on that face, it was very terrifying: "Sinful karma is sinful karma, even if it is a god, it is nothing more than a lost end." We are the counterweight designed by the Lord of the Demon Realm for the belief in the Divine Realm, and your predecessor was a Divine Realm god. Even you are in the god-like category right now, and you can't escape our influence. β
Lin Ziyue smiled bitterly and shook her head: "You all kindly remind me that Strawberry will be very angry, and she will rely on me again." β
Then she hesitated for a few seconds before she said the next words: "But I think you may have misunderstood a little, I don't want to...... Become a true God. I don't need to get rid of or cleanse myself of all the sinful karma, I just need to see through it, and that's enough. β
Selot's expression was slightly stunned, and after reacting to Lin Ziyue's meaning, he also shook his head with a wry smile: "It's really me who looks down on you, no, I look down on you." β
Then he raised his hand, and a light that radiated soft warmth slipped from his palm, and soon filled the room.
"I remember your title was...... Gluttony?"
Therot's eyes were gentle: "That's just one of the sayings. Indulging in pleasures, craving pleasures, and being too obsessed with something are all sins that I control. So, starting with me, you're going to face ......"
His voice grew softer and softer, like a whisper: "It's a lot of people." β
Bella's chuckle and Yun's sneer rang out behind Lin Ziyue at the same time, and she suddenly stood up from the side of the bed, vigilantly summoning the moon staff to cross in front of her, but there was no one behind her.
The warmth in the room was thick, and the drowsy sense of security climbed up from Lin Ziyue's toes, through the spine, and spread in the brain.
Her consciousness began to dull, and a black hole appeared under her feet, spreading little by little, but she couldn't move her body.
I can only let myself fall into it.
Therot's figure blurred, and the entire cabin vanished in a murky wave, as if it were a reflection in the water.
Lin Ziyue felt that she was falling downward, such a familiar and unfamiliar feeling of weightlessness.
It makes her think about when she first entered the fantasy world.
The same, but not the same, is not the same.
Something was eating away at her memory, and she began to forget.
The sense of panic of losing her memory was so clear that even Lin Ziyue felt fear.
It's not the same as saying yes!
It is clearly said that sinning karma is "gluttony", even if it is addicted to other things, it should not be like this, why is it ......
"Because that's what you've been longing for...... You often miss going back to a time when nothing happened, don't you?"
Lin Ziyue felt as if her heart was also saved by the words strawberry.
Is this how I longed for my old life? This feeling is so deeply hidden by myself, hidden in my subconscious, that I never even notice it......
As the voice fell silent in the West District, the matter of the Seven Deadly Sins began to be withdrawn from Lin Ziyue's consciousness. First the strawberry's voice and appearance became pale, then Bella's presence became more and more blurred, then Xuanyuan Yan's smiling face and his always smoky fingertips, and then Meng Li, whether it was his charming oppressive charm in the illusion, or his usual poker face like an iceberg with a sword, they all continued to fade in Lin Ziyue's heart.
And then there'...... Lin Ziyue's experience of entering the illusory world, starting from the memory of the moment she entered the game, was dissipated little by little, like the sun falling into the horizon, first passing in front of her eyes, and then disappearing into darkness, as if swallowed by the night.
Only the night spreads little by little, obscuring those clear scenes.
Lin Ziyue can directly "feel" that her memories are constantly missing, at first they are blurred, and then they become illusory, and then those memories become more and more fading, yellowed like old photos lost in the attic, no longer staying in her consciousness, being torn apart little by little, burned to ashes, and sprinkled into the boundless void.
Familiar faces, memorable conversations, painful or sad things, joyful or joyful things, fade white like jeans that have been washed.
Eventually, it will disappear.
"Why...... I can't forget it!" Lin Ziyue's lips seemed to have dried up for a long time, hoarse and helpless, she held her head, desperately trying to keep everything.
Memories slipped away like sand, slipping out of Lin Ziyue's palm, she seemed to be standing in the center of the hourglass, and she couldn't stop the black hole that sucked away the memories no matter what.
Dongsheng Continent, Wanghai View, Dongsheng Dabi, Heroes Collection, Mirror Flower Villa, Jiujing Gate, Demon Crack, Ranger Master and Apprentice......
While the memories were being traced, they were also constantly collapsing, passing through Lin Ziyue's eyes bit by bit, and disappearing weakly in her mind.
Lin Ziyue could barely feel her presence, she had been swept up in the torrent of memories.
It seems to be about to turn into a bubble.
The journey to the Dongsheng Continent has almost disappeared, and the story has regressed to the Flower Dynasty, the withered camellia and citrus aurantium, and the alleys in Haijiao City that shout buying and selling, these clips continue to retreat, as if they are rewinding a TV series.
There is no Luo Ling who is like a mirror image with him, there is no cold ghost king who acts secretly, there is no Yan Crow who falls on his shoulder and complains, and there is no Su Jiujiu who reunites with him after a long absence, hugging his head and crying.
"I don't ...... I don't want to forget that......"
The waves are rough and overflow the volcanoes of the Ahimi Islands.
The boat traveled thousands of miles, and the waves flooded the whales and Qian Sheng screaming.
It seems that there is a person who is always physically unfit and lying in the cabin......
Who is it and why can't I remember?
Sit on the bow of the boat yourself, do not ...... Are you standing by the sea?
No, maybe you're driving the plants through the forest?
Why did you have to go through this long journey?
Can't remember.
Very important and very important things have been forgotten.
The Book of Destiny, the main system, the illusory world.
It was successively diluted from Lin Ziyue's cognition until it could not be associated with anything, and then scattered into meaningless fragments of phrases.
When everything left in the Dongsheng Continent in his memories disappears, it will be the Isata Continent.
The people and things I encounter are like being erased by an invisible eraser, constantly erasing the outline and color, leaving only a cloudy white paper.
It seems that someone is being hunted down by some guild, and the commissary that passes through the Six Realms seems to be a way for all beings to walk among themselves? The darkness of the Inner Prison lasts forever, and whose sword does he seem to have taken over, and what is Bai Yan? Why do you think of Bai Yan?
By the way, there is one more person.
At least I remember his name.
Xuanyuan Yu.
Lin Ziyue's lips trembled slightly, and she read these three words over and over again, trying to imprint these three words on the tip of her tongue before the name disappeared.
Since he can remember, he must be a very important person to himself.
Kβ¦β¦ Seems to have something to do with him?
"I don't want to forget! I want to rememberβ"
The self who travels through time and space goes to the past, but suddenly returns to the future, and then forward......
The name L is so familiar.
A sword, a bun, a black and white boy, Jack, three thousand ......
The names are also familiar.
Isn't that a fiction?
Ninety-nine, I seem to be in trouble......
What the hell am I doing?
Memories fall into the void, like pearls sinking into the sand of the seabed.
But because it is too far-reaching, it cannot be fished up.
Lin Ziyue opened her eyes, although she couldn't think of anything, but it didn't make her pain less in the slightest.
I'm crying.
But why are you crying...... I don't know.
