What is it like to die?

The living have no way of knowing the answer.

The dead can't reply to the answer.

But there is one exception to this rule, who has truly faced death and then risen again under certain circumstances.

This is the case with Yi Tiancheng.

He has wandered on the edge of life and death countless times, and has buried many lives with his own hands, and even finally threw himself into the arms of death.

If you want to describe the experience of the moment at the end of life, there may be only one word that can barely fit, and that is-

All thoughts are lost.

It's not confusion, it's complete silence, and everything, whether it's the perception of the outside world or the perception of the self, is all in vain.

That's the real horror.

When I opened my eyes again, my consciousness, which was still a little vague, quickly confirmed everything and instantly returned to consciousness.

Yi Tiancheng took a deep breath, stared at the afternoon sun, raised his hand and rubbed his slightly swollen temples, and then stretched out and regained control of his body.

"Tsk~! The black and white bear is a big SB, since it was said that it was to replace the protagonist, so why should killing yourself not kill the protagonist? I think you're targeting me Yi Tiancheng, right? ”

After confirming the number of times he killed the actor, it was still only the original 2 times, Yi Tiancheng couldn't help but greet someone.

After a few curses, he regained his mood and began to focus on the present.

The first time he triggered [Return of Death], Yi Tiancheng didn't feel too uncomfortable, because it was essentially no different from the rebirth he had experienced before.

But Tsunako and Shino are not as accustomed to it as he is.

At the moment when they regained consciousness, the two women clenched their trembling teeth, but their bodies still couldn't suppress the trembling, as if they could still feel the afterglow of the biting chill.

Not only that, but the eyes of the two girls, who could remain calm at all times, were also dull at the moment, full of irrepressible fear.

What frightened them was not the pain caused by the freezing of their bodies before, but the fact that they faced and experienced death.

Unlike Yi Tiancheng, even if they are ready and think that they can face death calmly, when they really experience that kind of fear and that kind of despair, they will find that they are too serious.

Anyone, after truly experiencing death, will feel deep awe of it from the soul, from the consciousness, from the heart, from the instinct.

The causes of death, as well as the physical pain, are nothing to mention.

In the next second, one of the two women was slumped against the wall, and the other grabbed Yi Tiancheng's arm tightly, and there was a spasm in the depths of his throat, but he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit anything.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the two girls, Yi Tiancheng was not surprised, because this was originally the situation he specially created for the two girls.

Although he contracted them as servants and invested resources in them to cultivate, the growth rate of the two women was still not enough.

Therefore, he didn't care about whether the two women could bear it, so he directly took severe medicine, and used the most brutal way to ripen them with almost pulling out seedlings.

Whether it was witnessing the devastating battle between Leotian and Parker, or experiencing the pervasive invasion of death, it was far beyond the limits of what they could bear, and it also caused them to fall into the magic barrier of fear.

If you cross the past, you will be able to complete the transformation of nirvana and rebirth from the inside out, and have the indispensable mind and strength of a strong person.

But if they can't be surpassed, it will inevitably seriously frustrate their self-confidence, leaving a lingering psychological shadow, even if it is not directly abolished, it is destined to be useless.

"Take it easy, take a deep breath, and then control your body and your mood."

Yi Tiancheng comforted with contagion, and at the same time stroked Shi Nai's curled and trembling cat ears with his left hand, and held the Rouyi of the two women with his right hand, soothing the fear and panic in the hearts of the two women.

"I remember reading somewhere that fear is the culprit of all bad things, failure, frustration, jealousy, crime, betrayal, and defeat, and it can make people recognize their weakness and incompetence, and then become cowardly, or start to become stronger."

"No matter how self-proclaimed civilized the world is, it follows the law of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle in its bones; No matter how much we advocate that all men are created equal, people are also destined to be unequal from birth; This is an objective fact, and it is not subject to the will of anyone or even God. ”

"It would be too arrogant to think that it is the world, not oneself, that is wrong because of one's own miserable situation, because the world has never been right or wrong, and it does not care at all how individuals perceive it."

"Feel death, experience death, understand death, accept death. Only by crossing this threshold will there be no one who cannot be killed in the three thousand worlds. ”

Yi Tiancheng's voice, like the whisper of death, grinded into the ears of Tsui Zi and Shina, and kept echoing in his mind.

The heart that was originally shrouded in fear, the soul that was dominated by terror also began to gradually calm down.

Eventually, the two women's chaotic breathing began to calm down, their violent heartbeats returned to normal, and their eyes became more quiet and indifferent.

Seeing the changes in the two girls, Yi Tiancheng was quite satisfied, and asked interestingly, "How do you feel?" ”

"Much better." Shi Nai snuggled in Yi Tiancheng's arms, the cat ears on his head shook twice, and he replied in a calm tone with the Glock 18 pistol, the off-hand weapon he carried with him.

But Xianzi frowned, and said with some concern: "That sword master and elf are too strong, that level of battle is not something we can compete with, and it will be life-threatening just to be affected." ”

The two women answered from different angles, but it did not affect their understanding.

Yi Tiancheng rubbed Shi Nai's head, looked at Shi Nai at the same time, and replied with a smile: "It's right, after all, it's the author's own son, or how to say Lai Aotian!" Titles like "The Strongest Man on the Surface", "The Strongest Sword Master of the Ages", and "True Male Protagonist" are not just for fun. ”

Yanzi nodded, calmed down the restlessness in his heart, and asked in a cold tone: "Then why don't you wait a while and directly solve that Firut in advance?" ”

Her meaning was clear, to strangle Firut in the cradle directly before her identity was revealed, both to reduce a competitor and to avoid being in opposition to that man.

It sounded like an effective plan, but Yi Tiancheng shook his head and chuckled: "No need, it's still useful to keep that Lori." ”

"In addition, there is no need to be so serious, there is no truly strong and invincible existence in the world, even if Lai Aotian is strong, he has his own limitations and weaknesses, as long as it is operated properly, it may not be able to become our help."

Yi Tiancheng's tone was casual, but it was not a joke.

As the saying goes: a gentleman can deceive him, and a knight can deceive him.

Lai Aotian's strength is not said, but his character is more praised, honest and trustworthy, true to his word, honest and honest, brave and resolute, belongs to the knight of knights, and has no shortcomings in any sense.

But in the eyes of unscrupulous people, strict adherence to the so-called chivalric virtues is itself the biggest flaw.

"Next, let me reveal to you what is the survival wisdom of the weak, and what is the counterattack from the weak."

Yi Tiancheng looked at the two girls and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't look at me, I always like to face people and like Wushuang assassination, but when it comes to the best thing, it is the ability to survive to the end in a desperate situation, as well as the means to defeat the strong with the weak and turn the tables against the wind." ”

……

In the second week, it was still a dark alley between the two buildings.

This time, there are only two people, Yi Tiancheng and Shi Nai.

When the trio was passing by the alley, they saw the two people who seemed to be weak and bulliful inside, and after exchanging a look, they directly surrounded them with a sinister smile with ill intentions.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here." Yi Tiancheng smoked a cigarette, glanced at the three of them lightly, and said indifferently.

The strong murderous aura swept past the three of them in an instant, making them all stop in unison, and they couldn't help but shudder.

The three of them widened their eyes, and immediately realized that they had lost their eyes and mistaken the tiger for a sick cat, so they looked at each other and fled the alley decisively.

No sooner had they left than Firut was back on the field.

Without Yi Tiancheng to speak, Shino was already ready, and the Glock 18 pistol rotated three and a half times on her green index finger, and then she grabbed the handle of the gun and opened the safety bolt.

The magic power gathers, and the magic bullet is instantly generated.

Firut looks young and can be bullied, but in fact, she is also an existence favored by the world, and has the ability of [Wind Protection], so her agility and speed are far beyond ordinary people, and ordinary bullets and stray arrows do not have much effect on her.

"Get out of the way! Give me ......."

Without waiting for Firut to finish reading the lines, Shino directly pulled the trigger, and the magic bullet instantly came out of the chamber, ignoring the passive dodge of [Wind Protection], and directly hit and penetrated the girl's calf.

Blood splashed down, accompanied by a miserable scream, the girl, who was originally galloping like the wind, instantly overturned and fell to the ground on the spot, and under the action of inertia, fell headlong into Yi Tiancheng's arms.

Yi Tiancheng got up and down, and from the waist pouch tied to the back of the girl's buttocks, he found a badge inlaid with an unknown spar in the middle, which was the badge of the king's choice that Emilia had stolen.

"Little girl, you are really fearless and ignorant! Don't look at the origin of the person who entrusted you, what it means to let you steal, and what the background of the target object is, it is not easy or simple to die on you! ”

"Bastard! Let me go! Give me back my stuff! - Yikes! Firut opened his teeth and claws like a hysterical wild cat, and even wanted to kick Yi Tiancheng, but this movement, the wound immediately attacked, and her tears of pain on the spot flowed out: "Legs, my legs, it hurts so much, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"

"It hurts, that's right, it's better than being directly cut abdomen and dissecting and dying on the spot, I don't know how many times!" Yi Tiancheng was unmoved, paused for a moment, and when the owner entered, he immediately sneered: "The woman you traded with is called Elsa, you probably don't know this name, but you must have heard of her pseudonym, that is, the "intestine hunter" who likes to cut the abdomen of the assassination target. ”

She was hired by the Count of Rozval, a nobleman of the kingdom, to attack one of the heirs of the Chosen and seize the Chosen Emblem. It is related to the dispute and competition of the king's election, and others can't avoid it, for fear of getting into the trouble of killing, but you, the little thief cat, took the initiative to get involved, it's really a newborn calf! ”

"The moment you handed the badge to the other party, it was when you and the old man in the slum who was the intermediary were killed, do you know how much trouble you got into now?"

Just after Yi Tiancheng finished saying this, a crisp voice like a silver bell suddenly came in from the alley:

"You said that the assassins hired by the Count of Rozvale came to attack the heir chosen by the king and seize the other party's coat of arms, is there any evidence?"

The corners of Yi Tiancheng's mouth pursed slightly, then turned his head to look at Emilia who was standing at the mouth of the alley, and said calmly: "It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but for the sake of you being a beautiful girl, I don't care about this." ”

"As for the evidence, what I say is evidence, and if there is any objection, I will hold it in my heart! You are the owner, give it back to you, and this little stupid thief will be handed over to me. ”

Yi Tiancheng carried Firut, walked over with Shina, and casually threw the badge to the other party.

When passing by, Yi Tiancheng did not hide his mockery at all, and sneered:

"Keep your valuables well, if there is a next time, I don't think you really need to participate in the king's election, even if you become the king of this country, it will only make the life of the people of this country worse."

"I ......" Emilia clutched the badge tightly, trying to defend something, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and her blue and purple eyes, which were full of knowledge, also became a little dim and lost.

After all, the facts are in front of her, she can't even protect the king's choice badge, and she was stolen by a little thief on the street.

"Oh, this little brother, it's too unkind to speak."

The voice came from Emilia's long silver hair, and then a palm-sized, gray-haired lop-eared kitten emerged.

This seemingly harmless kitten is none other than Emilia's pact elf Parker, and the golden beast that was determined to destroy the world in the first week is its true body.

"However, I can perceive that every word he said before did not have any trace of deception~!" Parker stood on Emilia's shoulders with both feet, looked at Yi Tiancheng's departing back, and whispered.

What Yi Tiancheng said before is naturally about the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes is Count Rozval.

Rozval is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Lugnica, a powerful frontier guard, and one of the few magicians in the kingdom, known as the chief court wizard in the royal city.

On top of that, he is also the only backing up for Emilia as a candidate for the king, in the race for the Chosen One.

Emilia thought for a moment, but still insisted on her opinion: "Parker, I still can't believe it, why did Rozval do this? It doesn't make sense at all, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. ”

"Maybe, but who knows, people are so complicated, at least I haven't been able to see through that weirdo." Parker commented pointedly, and then burrowed into Emilia's hair again.

"Oops! I forgot to thank that guy! In any case, it was the other party who helped me find the badge, and I didn't even say thank you, which would be rude. ”

Emilia exclaimed, and immediately hurriedly chased after Yi Tiancheng in the direction where he left......
