Chapter 228: Life and Death
When Chen Mo was a child, he always thought that life or death was just the difference between being hungry and not starving, and nothing else.
When he was older, he began to understand that things were not what he had imagined.
After Chengren, he became more aware of the meaning of responsibility, and sometimes had to desperately survive and wander on the edge of life and death. It doesn't feel good to have one foot in a coffin, and if someone says he's dead, he'll probably think they're threatening or taunting until he knows about the strange existence of the twin corpses.
But now, the phrase means something completely different.
Chen Mo returned to the boat and casually perfunctory the two girls, and fell asleep early. He was still in the same room as the bronze corpse, and there was a chilling aura about the latter, cold and serene, as if shrouded in the thick of the night.
Chen Mo felt inexplicably relieved, like a person who likes to smell the smell of gasoline sitting in the cab of a truck, with an indescribable sense of ease.
He pondered the previous situation again, and the Indian had nothing to do with the madman in any way, and the intense look of surprise on his face when he was questioned did not look like a hypocrisy.
Although this question was weird enough, Chen Mo felt that he really wanted to get an answer from himself.
I'm dead? Which aspect?
Chen Mo was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling in the dark, his brows deeper and deeper.
Is he alluding to the fact that I haven't found the meaning of existence, so I can call it the walking dead? Looking at him, he looks similar to me, how can he rise to the level of a philosopher? Besides, talking about life in the slaughterhouse is not looking for death?
Thinking of the other "self" that Mo Wentian had once shown, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. On the question of whether Li Kui is or Li Ghost, he was suspicious, but looking at Luo Si's performance, it seems that he is a clone and not the original version.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are a clone, you are a clone with all the vital signs. There is a heartbeat, there is a breath, there is a thought, and it seems to have nothing to do with the dead man that the Indian strong man said.
Is he saying that I am not a real being?
Chen Mo was a little upset, and Suo sat up. The bronze corpse moved with his movements, and then froze there again, like a mechanical toy with a discarded battery.
When Chen Mo walked out of the room, he tried to give a "don't move" command, and the operation of the Ares robot also stalled. The bronze corpse remained wooden until he pushed the door and walked out, and he didn't move for a while.
Luo Li moved a mattress and slept at the door. She was very vigilant, although Chen Mo's footsteps were quiet and no more noticeable than the breeze, the sound of her subtle breathing still changed instantaneously. Chen Mo stopped where she was, and waited for a moment before she fell back asleep.
During this time, she must have been very tired. Chen Mo looked at Luo Li for a while, the light coming in from the outside was so faint that he could barely see her face clearly.
Luo Li's delicate eyebrows were slightly lame, as if she had just had a nightmare, and her nose was full of small beads of sweat. She looked helpless and weak, of course Chen Mo knew that she was by no means as weak as she looked, but she was not as strong as she looked.
She was a girl after all, but now she even watched him sleep. Chen Mo stared at the other party without blinking, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.
There are not a few guards on the drilling platform, but there are many secret whistles, and monitoring probes are densely packed in every corner. Chen Mo took a lot of twists and turns to get into the second layer of the platform.
He saw the Indian from afar.
[***] Perception didn't help Chen Mo too much, the other party really didn't leave, and waited on the way to the fighter's residential area as if he knew that he would find it.
"Follow me." The Indians' English was still so lame, and there was still something strange in their gaze towards Chen Mo.
The two climbed the escalator one after the other, sat at the highest point of the entire steel frame structure, and the southeast and northwest were full of oceans as far as the eye could see, and the platform was like a lonely reef in the sea.
Although the Indians were large, they were extremely flexible, and they were no slower than Chen Mo. After sitting down, he didn't care about the vertical distance under his feet that was enough to shatter his bones, he looked at the starry sky for a long time, and suddenly turned his head and asked Chen Mo, "You know everything?" That's why you came to me? ”
"Know what?" Chen Mo saw that he was playing dumb riddles again, and he couldn't help but get angry.
The Indian paused, the sea breeze sending his long hair flying in the air, looking like a rising black flame, "You're a dead man, but now you're being ruled by a power, and you're alive again." ”
"Can a dead man climb as high as you can?" Chen Mo smiled.
"There has been a precedent for resurrection in our tribe for a long time, and the wizards consider it a miracle." The Indians also grinned, their teeth white, "My name is Mountain Wind, what is your name?" ”
"Chen Mo."
"We look about the same, I seem to be a little darker than you." The Indians' surname is simple, and they have no scheming at all, and the mountain wind is also thinking of what to say, "Those white people asked me to deal with you, I said that you are a reborn and walking soul, and no one can kill you, so they are willing to give up." ”
"Those guys are doing things for Pandora?"
"Like, I've heard the name."
Chen Mo thought for a while and asked slowly, "You said that I am alive again now, what does this mean?" ”
"I had a man named White Wolf, who was fighting with other tribes, and was shot through the head by an arrow, so we buried him. After a few days, he crawled out of the pit on his own and returned home, ignoring what others said. The wizard said he had something unfinished, so he was forced to stay in the world, and we didn't understand what that meant. After some time, the white wolf's wife fell into the swamp while grazing, he obviously stayed at home, and he didn't know how to rush over, saved his wife, and fell off the horse on the way back, and then he really died. ”
Shan Feng pointed to his heart and looked at Chen Mo, "The guy who has died, even if he still jumps here, is different from others." You are very similar to the white wolf at that time, and it makes people feel cold when you are far away, and I will not forget this smell, and I will not admit it. ”
What this Indian said was cold or not, it was similar to the breath that Chen Mo felt on the bronze corpse. If just being dead could make him notice something unusual, when he was in Pandora, Chen Mo felt that he had already reached the standard.
"Looks like I'm overthinking." Chen Mo pondered for a while and smiled bitterly.
With the impact of twin corpses and clones in front of him, such an abrupt question can be misleading, and the shape of the mountain wind is infinitely close to that of a professional god...... Chen Mo felt that his current suspicion was so serious that it was funny.
The mountain breeze seemed to want to add something, but he looked confused, shook his head and said, "I only know that without the blessing of the moon god, you will not survive, and the moon god will not have mercy on the bad guys." I can see that the force that sustains you now is strong, but you have only a small part of it. Remember my words, worship nature in order to integrate the power of nature, a grain of sand and a handful of soil has a soul, what you need to do is to comprehend. They have been around for countless years, and the old stuff will make you understand who you are. ”
"Well, thank you." Chen Mo remembered that Tana, the Gumeng girl, seemed to have said something similar.
"I have to go, I hope you can live longer and not rush to that world." Shanfeng stood up and hugged Chen Mo, his eyes clear, "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, let's do it as soon as possible!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already jumped down from the high platform, and his hands were borrowed from the steel frame one after another, swinging down like a giant ape.
Chen Mo stayed alone for a long time, counting the hundreds of upgrade points he had recently gained from the event, but in the end he was still reluctant to use any of them.
He did have an unfulfilled wish, but he no longer believed that it would be his last wish.
Back on the boat, the lights were bright. Zhuo Yitian and Luo Li were both waiting there in neat clothes, and they snorted together when they saw him come back.
"Where did you go? Why is it always like this, and I don't say hello, which makes Lao Tzu worry for a long time! Perhaps because of the light, Zhuo Yitian looked a little better in blood and was in good spirits.
Luo Li guarded the door and let Chen Mo slip out, he had already made up his mind to question him, but when he saw Zhuo Yitian in a frenzy, he suddenly diverted his attention, "Where did he go, why did he report to you?" ”
"I'm talking to him, why are you interjecting?" Zhuo Yitian sneered, "I see that you are healed and forgot the pain, I don't remember how I cleaned you up in the first place!" ”
"You are wrong, I have always held grudges, I remember clearly how much I owe me and how much I should repay." Luo Li glanced at her with a contemptuous gaze, "But now that Agent Zhuo has become like this, I will not settle accounts with you for Chen Mo's sake." It also saves you to win the game, and you cry and shout that I took advantage. ”
"Don't, settle accounts as soon as possible. I'm almost in good health now, but it shouldn't be a problem to clean up Sister Luo. Xiao Chen Mo seems to be a little inconvenient here, let's go out, and save you from winning, I will make some habitual actions, and you can't hang it on your face. Zhuo Yitian replied with a big grin.
"You want to die?" Luo Li's face was flushed, and there was murderous intent in her eyes.
Zhuo Yitian snorted, his big eyes narrowed, "Whoever dies and who lives will only know if they try it." ”
The two women were tense and refused to give in to each other, but it made Chen Mo dumbfounded.
"The ......," he said cautiously.
"Don't talk!" Zhuo Yitian and Luo Li shouted at the same time.
"I'm a little hungry." Chen Mo still insisted on finishing his words.
Zhuo Yitian was stunned, and reluctantly looked away from Luo Li's face and glared at Chen Mo, "What do you want to eat?" Or is luncheon meat okay? Let's start with that, I'll give you a maximum of five bottles of wine. ”
"Luncheon meat ......" Luo Li sneered, "Brother, you wait for me for a while, and I'll cook for you." ”
It was the first time she called Chen Mo like this, but it was very natural. Zhuo Yitian's cooking skills were already in a mess, and seeing that he was hit in the soft underbelly, the boss was not convinced, and he also went to the kitchen.
Chen Mo was afraid that the whole boat would be dismantled by the two girls, one big and one small, and was about to make peace to the end, but he heard a slight movement behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was a bronze corpse standing there, still with a mutilated and hideous face, eyes that could not see pupils, and a posture as stiff as a bow.
"Where have you been?" Chen Mo never knew that this guy could read and act, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that he had unconsciously regarded the other party as a partner who could communicate.
The bronze corpse stiffened and stood upright, unresponsive, revealing a drop of crimson between the fingers of the white bones.
Are you looking for me?
As soon as Chen Mo came up with this ridiculous idea, he heard the alarm bell outside loud, and the footsteps were chaotic.
