"What? What's surprising? ”

"No, I happen to know a Liu Tianxin, I don't know if it's the same person. www.biquge.info I used to live there for a few years, and he was always very nice to me, I was my sister, he was my brother, we grew up together, and then I went to Taiwan. ”

"It seems to be a coincidence."

"Yes, nothing will happen to Brother Tianxin, right? How has he become now? ”

"It's mysterious, and sometimes it's a little nervous, but overall it's a good person, and we get along well. I didn't have anything to do anyway, so I went to see him. If anything, I can at least talk to my classmates and teachers. ”

"Oh, I'm worried about him."

Now, I look at the teacup in my hand. It turns out that I have known Situ Wugong and Liu Tianxin for a long time. And Liu Tianxin is really my roommate, Xia Cheng has known him for a long time, and the two of them are still small. And what about Situ Wugong? He had wanted to kill me for a long time, but of course, he probably didn't really want to kill me, otherwise I would have died by then, right?

The Ghost King asked, "What do you remember?" ”

"Liu Tianxin."

"Oh, Liu Tianxin. It turns out that anyone can change, Liu Tianxin becomes good, then bad, and then better, which is a complicated process in itself. Of course, we can't simply say whether he is good or bad, because who defines good or bad? In fact, they are just obsessed with one thing, and we are just imposing good and bad on them, right? What is good for us is good, and what is bad for us is bad. That's what we're good or bad about. The Ghost King took a sip of tea.

"What else is there? That scar, as well as the black hand, and Zhao Banxian, who were they originally? and Zhang Zhiwei......"

"Who knows? You've lost almost all of it, and now you can only get it back by burying it with your own hands. ”

"Here, it's just me making a grave for myself?"

"Or else? You won't remember when you came back and watched the lonely ghosts wander the city in a daze, and they didn't know if they were alive or dead, because no one told them. It was a spectacular scene, because there were so many of them, you had never seen so many, and in there, there were many faces that you had seen before. ”

"But why should I put them here?"

"You can't forgive yourself. Because of your cowardice, because you are afraid of me, you hide in a corner alone, don't ask anything, as if the whole world has nothing to do with you, even if you have the ability that others dare not think of, but you have no sense of responsibility. If you were even a little bit stronger, none of these things would happen in the future. ”

"Is that really the case? So it's all my fault? ”

"Otherwise, who is to blame? Blame me? Blame Xiaomeng? Or is it to blame Situ for being reactive? Of course, it was Xiao Meng and Situ Wugong who directly made them die, but what is the relationship between Xiao Meng and you? Although he seems to have a greater relationship with me, how can I say that he is also your son? ”

I was stunned.

He ...... What kind of person is he? ”

"Someone who is not like you."

I can't imagine what he looks like, maybe a little bit like me? And a little like his mother? But what kind of person was his mother? The one who was frozen like me?

"Tell me about him."

"Think for yourself. You're afraid of facing those ghosts, so you arranged for them to be given such a so-called paradise? You put them in here, and then you seem to be at ease. Because after they came here, what really happened might just be a dream, and they seemed to be alive and well here. But there will always be accidents, and the accident is that someone will always wake up, so they will find the falsehood of this world, and what is even more unexpected is that Situ Wugong came. ”

"He's going to be me."

"Maybe he's going to be me." The Ghost King said lightly.

Since it was said by the ghost king himself, then it must be eight or nine from ten. Others may be able to deceive me, but the Ghost King doesn't have to do that. Because I am him, and he is me.

It seems like I'm just having a conversation with my subconscious right now. This conversation weighs me heavy.

Because the real ghost king should have died at this time. I don't know how he died, or what he died for.

I took another sip of tea and it was even lighter.

Xia in his memory said carefully: "What about people? Why is it gone? ”

We came to a small mountain village, there are many mountains, this small mountain village is inhabited together, and the range of houses is also very small. The house was unoccupied.

Xia Cheng even shouted, but no one responded to her.

"Have you all moved?" She came to the door of a house, knocked on the door and said loudly: "Third aunt, I am careful, I am back." ”

No one answered.

The whole small mountain village is enveloped in an atmosphere of silence. I tried to push the door open, and it opened.

The dust inside the door means that there should be no one here for at least half a month.

And there's a dead dog lying down the door. The dead dog was skinny and skinny, and had become a dried corpse, not rotting and not emitting a foul smell.

Xia Xin screamed, clutching my hand tightly.

"What's going on? Could it be that Brother Tianxin also had an accident? Is something wrong with everyone? Her voice trembled.

"Looks like I'm starving."

I was also a little sick and scared of this dead dog. But I had to show my courage in front of this little girl, so I bypassed the dead dog and went to the back room.

The teapot and teacup on the table indicate that the people in the room left in a hurry, although there is dust, but there is still unfinished tea in the teacup, and the tea has almost turned all black.

Entering from the living room, the side looks like the kitchen, one bedroom on the left, two bedrooms on the right, and a door at the back that looks like it leads to the backyard or something. I pushed open the bedroom on the left. The light inside is very dim and you can't really see it. The air was filled with the strange smell of no one for a long time.

"No one."

Xia carefully asked, "But how can there be no one?" It's not like it's moving. ”

It's like a dead village. All of them died. Because I didn't see a single bird, not even an ant.

Pushed open the door that led to the back, and there was a backyard and a pigsty.

There was still a hint of pig in the air, and there was a dead pig in the pigsty, also so thin that it had become a dried corpse. It seems that even the pigs are starving to death.

Natsu threw up carefully, and she quickly ran out.

I caught up with her.

"The pigs are dead, the dogs are dead, and nothing seems to live except us," she said. Is this village dead like this? But what about people? ”

Are people also dead?

"I think, it's important that we finish your business quickly, you didn't say bury the ashes, or ......"

"Put the god tree there, grandpa confessed."

"The Sacred Tree?"

"Yes, the sacred tree, it's over there, in the very center, and there are no other trees around, only ...... Yes? ”

I looked in the direction she was pointing, but I didn't see the so-called sacred tree. Because the place she was referring to, sure enough, there was a large open space, but on top of the clearing, it was not a sacred tree, but a strange house, it was a red house, out of place with the other houses, it seemed to be brand new.

"What about the Sacred Tree? How did you cut down the sacred tree and build a house? She walked forward in a daze.

I hurriedly walked over and grabbed her, "Don't walk around, I think we should call the police." ”

"Go over and see. Besides, there is no signal here. No, I must find the sacred tree, or I won't be able to explain it to my grandfather. ”

Her grandfather is dead, what else is there to confess?

She came to the door of the house.

The door is also red and closed. She pushed the door open, and it was empty, with only a separate room and door.

I wanted to tell her to hurry away, but she had already gone inside, came to the door, and pushed open the lonely door. There was a big zero written on the door, and a circle was drawn to it.

Inside the door is a staircase that descends.

"This house is so strange, maybe everyone in the village has gone down, right? What the hell is going on? Standing in front of the door, she said.

The handrails of the staircase were wrapped in wires, leaves were waking up, and at intervals there was a small light bulb emitting light.

I grabbed her, "Let's go call the police." ”

"I'll go down and take a look, maybe they're really down there." She also shouted to the bottom, "Is there anyone?" ”

The echo kept echoing, but no one answered.

She walked in. Maybe I should turn around and leave at this point. But she's just a girl, and I'm a man. So I followed her in.

The door closed, and then I realized that the door had no handle on the inside side, and what was even more surprising was that even the crack in the door was missing.

It's a quirky house that you can only enter, not exit.

Now, I look at the house, and although it looks the same from the outside as I remember, the furnishings inside are different. At least there's a table here, and I'm drinking tea with the Oni King.

"Liu Tianxin's entire village is dead?" I asked him.

"Dead, including Liu Tianxin himself."

"Is Liu Tianxin the last one alive?"

"Yes. Their people are very strange and persistent, just like Xia Careful's grandfather asked Xia Careful to put the ashes jar under the sacred tree, and the wheel of fate turned forward like this. So Natsu will meet you, so you'll go inside with her. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have gone down at all, would you? You may have left long ago when you first entered the village. You won't come across what they call the sacred tree, and then everything will change. ”

Xia carefully asked, "Divine Tree?" What the hell is it? ”

The Ghost King said lightly, "Wake up their sacred tree, and then let her return to the original world." It's just that our world will not exist. And you, like this, became attached to their sacred tree, and the strange thing is that you really made friends with her? ”

I asked him, "Me?" ”

"yes, isn't that weird?"

Strange, of course. Because I'm only now realizing that as I drink tea, the figures of him and Xia Cheng are fading. Are they themselves this cup of tea? When I'm done drinking, they're gone?

So I looked at the tea in my hand and didn't know if I should continue drinking it.

In fact, the ghost king and Xia Jing in front of me are my real memories.

So, in the eyes of those one-eyed dragons, Xia was careful and had to die.
