Chapter 267: Life is a Circle
Just after eating the fragrant French snail rice, before I had time to have any buffer, I saw such a group of ugly and disgusting hanged ghosts, which really gave people a lot of mental damage, especially when I saw that the tongues of some hanged ghosts had been completely rotted and pitted, and the black-red blood mixed with yellow-green pus flowed downward, even Zero, who had lived in the rotten land for hundreds of years, couldn't help but turn over the river and sea in his stomach, covering his mouth, and finally controlled himself and didn't spit it out.
With her willpower, not to mention the group of sailors in the live broadcast room, at this time, the barrage was already full of grief, occupied by strings of 'vomit' expressions!
"Ling, Teacher Ling, you are so poisonous!"
"This contrast is too strong, isn't it?! One second it was still so delicious that it made people drool and want to lick the screen, and the next second it became these hanged ghosts who have been dead for I don't know how many years! My little heart......
I was so excited by the gluttonous worms seduced by snail rice that I got up and soaked noodles, and then you ate a bite and I took a bite, and I took a picture of your big meal to eat, pretending that I was also eating with you. Unexpectedly, while the instant noodles were still chewing in my mouth, a hanged ghost popped out of the screen! I was so scared that the instant noodles squirted out of my nostrils!
"It turns out that I'm not the one who is unlucky! What I ate just now is now back in the bowl! I just want to ask Teacher Ling if he can compensate me for the bowl?"
"What do you think Teacher Ling is an ordinary little anchor? It's already your honor to let you watch it, the internal ecological environment of the core area of the eight Jedi!
"That's what I'm saying, the core areas of the eight Jedi, and not only Teacher Ling can enter, but there are also many strong people in our human race and their teams who are all engaged in research in the eight Jedi, right?"
"Then the question is, in this kind of magic suppression area, it is a little difficult for them to protect themselves, is there that idle man to start a live broadcast for you like Teacher Ling?"
"That's true! I just suddenly remembered that if there were more people cultivating martial arts on the continent in the future, and they would not be affected by the suppression of magical power, would we human beings be able to consider the matter of developing the resources in the Eight Great Jedi? After all, the Eight Great Jedi are at least one-fifth the size of the continent!"
"Don't dream! There is everything in the dream! At most, you can develop some edge areas, after all, compared to magic suppression, the biggest threat is still those terrifying eighth-level demonic beasts!"
"Hey, sometimes I wonder why in the classification of Warcraft, there is such a big gap in combat power between the eighth level and the seventh level? These two giant snails, it seems to be called 'Gui Niu', they should be seventh-level Warcraft, right? This kind of Warcraft Sect can handle a thousand-strong ordinary mage army, and the eighth-level Warcraft Sect has hundreds of thousands of troops plus a few floating cities are all dead!"
"The seventh-level demonic beasts are also divided into strong and weak, and in the same level, they are also divided into lower, middle, high, and peak, this snail is obviously the seventh-level lower-level demonic beast, the weakest one!"
"The in front of you, this snail will definitely not be able to send a team of 1,000 people! Let's not talk about whether you can break the volute, no one can stop that white line alone! And this is only a seventh-level demonic beast, according to the information that has been proven now, there are more than 2,400 different seventh-level demonic beasts on the mainland! See clearly that it is a 'species', not only!"
"That's right...... If all the seventh-level demonic beasts on the continent are united, the human race will be wiped out directly! Of course, this situation is impossible to happen, but you must remember that our human race is really not as strong as you imagined!"
"I've always been curious, is there a big one that can solve my confusion?"
"The water friend 'has my capital wrapped around his waist' to reward the anchor with a meteor shower! At the same time, he left a message: The big one is here!
"Let's say all the time that the human race is not strong, that is not strong, all kinds of demonic beasts, ancient gods and those eighth-level existences can destroy us, so why is it that in the entire continent, our human race still occupies the most territory?"
"This ...... I'm wiping this problem from a tricky angle!"
"I didn't notice this before, but now that I think about it, I really want to know!
"Someone must know! But those who know these secrets probably don't have time to watch the live broadcast!"
β......β
Noticing that the barrage began to discuss this issue in full swing, and even some people began to fantasize that the Terrans had countless hidden powers, which could punch Andersen and step on the golden fortress and kill through the elemental plane in minutes, Ling Mo made a pause gesture and said a little speechlessly:
"Okay, sailors, don't be obscene, as far as I know, the human race has a lot of hidden power, and it has not been announced to the public, but it will definitely not be too much, and it will never be much stronger than the strength on the table. In future live broadcasts, I may touch on these aspects, but don't discuss this now, it's very boring. β
After finishing speaking, Ling Mo pointed at the hanged ghosts who were extremely slow to move again, and faced Hebrew, and asked again, "Don't you explain?
"Oh, hehe~~!, actually captive human souls, so that they can absorb them at any time when their soul energy is insufficient, this is actually the work done by the disciples of the Split Sky Sect who have always advertised themselves as just, benevolent, and impartial, or the punishment knights in the Split Sky Sect who are famous for abiding by the rules of the world, and even more excessively, in order to prevent these hanged ghosts from escaping, they also made such a long, tall and majestic city wall!" Zero digested some of the food, stopped hiccups, and immediately seized the opportunity to mock:
"As a small sect member who obeys the sect, I am really shocked by this kind of thing that exterminates humanity! The most shocking thing is that this is actually done by those righteous people who chase behind our butts every day and shout 'heretics of the cult and kill them,' and I don't know who gave them the courage to call us good people who obey the sect 'cult heretics', Liang Jingru? Although I don't know why Liang Jingru was mentioned, Zero still said the name. β
"What do you know, you cult saint!" Lanaya was furious, and stood up suddenly, a stumbling psionic blade popping out of her hands, as if trying to reason with Zero. But at this time, where would Zero, who was well-fed and well-fed, be afraid of her? Immediately, one of them stood up, his eyes full of provocation, and looked at her without showing weaknessβ
Then both of them fell down again because they got up too violently, holding their stomachs.
Ignoring the performance of these two stupid women, Hebrew heard Ling Mo's question, and sighed for a long time, followed by a heart-rending cough, wiping the corners of his bloodstained mouth, Hebrew lowered his head, subconsciously took it into his pocket, touched it a few times and didn't touch anything, and then raised his head and asked Ling Mo, "This gentleman, do you have any cigarettes?"
Immediately, he realized that he had asked a stupid question, Ling Mo was not his fellow punishment knights, how could there be smoke? He smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect that the man on the other side really threw over a small cylinder, and subconsciously took it in his hand to see that it was actually a handmade cigar with very exquisite workmanship!
The reason why it is beautiful is because this cigar is very textured, and the tobacco leaves in it are golden with a hint of burnt brown, revealing a kind of charm. The paper of the cigarette is also very particular, and the wavy decoration on the outside fully shows how patient and careful the maker of this cigar is when rolling. The most impressive thing is that the cigarette tail is slightly up, on the dark brown paper, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice at all, there is actually a line of black Juanxiu small characters:
When these words are in ashes, I will be on your breast.
"......?" said Hebrew, holding his cigar with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I made these cigars for my ex-girlfriend, and I used to smoke cigarettes, but then she poisoned them and quit. Ling Mo explained lightly, and at the same time reminded: "The tobacco is roasted from the leaves of the 'Abyss Bliss Flower', and it has a lot of strength, and the physique is poor, and it will cause great damage to the body afterwards, but you are dying, it doesn't matter, right?"
"That's right. Seeing that Ling Mo didn't mind, and Hebrew was not pretentious, a small flame flashed in his hand, lit the cigar, took a beautiful puff, and showed a happy expression on his face, like a leaky bellows, and a violent choking cough actually slowly stopped, exhaled a puff of blue smoke, Hebrew raised his thumb and said to Ling Mo:
"Sir, from this cigarette, I have tasted the depth of your ex-girlfriend's affection for you, if there is nothing that cannot be overcome, just get back together, it is not easy to have a woman love you so much. β
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't answer, Hebrew smiled awkwardly, took another puff of cigarette, and under the cover of the changing blue smoke, he said lightly: "These hanged ghosts are not in our captivity, and we have never absorbed any soul energy on them, although we are very reluctant to admit it, but these hanged ghosts are the 'companion monsters' of our punishment knights." β
"Companion monsters?!What about your tm liar?!" Before the others could speak, the Ragdoll Bear was not happy for the first time: "Are you saying that you and these hanged ghosts, like rhinoceros and hodors, soybeans and rhizobia, termites and flagellates, Ultraman and little monsters, are no one else?"
"I didn't say that, your understanding is too complicated. Hebrew spat out a smoke ring, looked at the hanged ghosts that were pouring through the cracks in the wall, and said, "I mean, they were born with us, or rather, together in the rotten land, and became demons." β
"Why? Each of you has at least the strength of a fifth-level demonic beast, and these hanged ghosts don't even have the strength of a first-level demonic beast? This kind of companionship is too unmagical, right?"
"Because ......," Hebrew's gaze was a little distracted, "because these ghosts were hanged by our punishment knights before they died." β
"!!" Zero and the Ragdoll Bear had shocked expressions on their faces at the same time, and Lanaya's face was full of pain, only Ling Mo was thoughtful. Hebrew's tone was flat, and he continued to explain: "We punish the knights, in the name of 'punishment', to correct violations of the teachings of the Splitting Void Sect, to punish those who violate the rules, and to hang those who seriously violate the teachings and commit heinous crimes. β
"We have always believed that our actions are righteous, that we are striving for a better continent and a greater spread of the glory of the Lord, and that we, who are incomparably faithful to the teachings of the Lord, will be sublimated after death and will reach the throne of the great Lord and return to eternal peace with the Lord. β
"But when we die in the most heroic battle, and open our eyes again, we are surrounded not by the glory of God, but by ...... The souls of every heretic who have been hanged by us! These souls cling to us, barely sane, and only know how to mechanically look at us for food, and look at us like chicks waiting to be fed, looking at their parents!"
Speaking of this, Hebrew's calm expression was a little untenable, and a trace of pain appeared on his face:
"After death, we were resurrected in the same place as the 'heretic' who hanged with his own hands! Is it the Lord's will that we are actually the same as them? Is it the Lord's will for us to be accompanied by them? At that time, there were more than 120 of our 'resurrected' punishment knights, and in the face of this black and oppressive large number of hanged ghosts, more than half of them could not accept this fact at all, and their spirits collapsed, and their soul fire was crushed on the spot, and completely disappeared. Only forty of us were left, and we were always taking care of these thousands of hanged ghosts. β
"You are mistaken, there is no Lord's will in this, there is only the law of nature. Seeing that Hebrew was a little unable to speak, Ling Mo said: "Those 'heretics' in your mouth, they did not do any evil in their lives, they were hanged by you just because of their different ideas, of course the resentment is very big, this kind of resentment has a 'locking' effect on your soul, and it is not strange to become a ghost to find you after death." β
This is the same reasoning as our discussion. Hebrew took a hard puff on his cigarette and continued:
"For hundreds of years after death, we have been hunting for them, which can be regarded as atonement. These hanged ghosts have a huge amount of spiritual power, but they don't have any ability to take care of themselves at all, let alone prey. At first, it was okay, but later, more and more monsters knew about the large number of delicious and non-resisting foods here, and our days became more and more difficult, and we had to build a city wall in order to resist the attack of stronger and stronger monsters. Fought off several waves of powerful demonic beasts, and finally attracted a terrifying monster like Guiniu. β
"I know it's a bit of a tough request, but as you can see, we, the Punishment Knights, are dead. So...... Can you please find a habitat for these hanged ghosts to survive after we die?"
When he said this request, Hebrew, a muscular man with a height of nearly two meters, actually knelt on the ground, begging Ling Mo with a face full of hope, his appearance was so depressed and pitiful, that Zero on the side was a little unbearable. However, Ling Mo did not have any mood fluctuations, and calmly refused:
"You don't need to, just die in peace. As soon as you die, these hanged ghosts will lose their obsession with hating you, and they will naturally disappear. β
