Chapter 17: The First Absurdity
The goddess was crouching by the river, wiping the wound with the corner of her wet clothes.
Yu Xing's footsteps were not easy to hear in the sound of flowing water, but the goddess turned around after he got closer.
"You're back?" Her eyes fell on the suitcase in Yu Xing's hand, "Thank you, you didn't get lost, did you?" ”
At that time, Yu Xing's forehead was sweating, his breathing was slightly unsteady, and he looked like he had run all the way. I don't know, I really think he is worried about the injured goddess" The direction in the mountains and forests is a little difficult to argue, I went around for a while, and it was too late. ”
As he spoke, he hurried to the priest's side and looked at the wounds on the other party's legs.
The speed of the blood flow had slowed down significantly, and now, under the cold water of the river, the blood had half-congealed at the front of the scar, and no longer fell.
The goddess's way of dealing with it is very professional, and there is no need for Yu Xing to do anything, and Yu Xing has not used the medicine box much, he was injured when he was a child before, and the doctor at home helped him get it.
He recalled in his mind the skill of the goddess in dealing with wounds, so he opened the medicine box and handed it over, "I don't know this, you can come by yourself." ”
The goddess smiled, took the box and picked out the medicine she needed and began to bandage herself, Yu Xing watched from beginning to end, thinking that her technique might really be practiced, after all, there are so many people in the village who cut meat and worship, and there is no doctor.
Although he didn't know what method the goddess used to keep a group of skeletons in a "alive" state, he guessed that if someone was really going to die, in order to maintain the illusion that the gods and goddesses would not die, the goddess would definitely help treat them.
"Can you carry me back later?" The bandaging was almost done, and the goddess really didn't surprise Yu Xing.
Yu Xing smiled, a little cramped, "Of course you can, everyone in the village respects you, and I, as a newcomer, will of course be obedient." ”
"No, I don't want you to help me because of this...... I just saw that you had an eye, so I kept you, and I wanted you to look at me like a friend. The goddess frowned, "Now I'm not ordering you to do anything for me as a goddess, I'm just asking you for help." ”
The admired goddess actually spoke to him in such an equal tone, and Yu Xing showed some flattery at the right time.
"No problem."
Half an hour later.
He crouched down and picked up the goddess on his back, feeling a sudden weight on his back, and the unfamiliar breath flowed rhythmically back and forth behind his ears.
"Good work." The goddess didn't show any closeness right away, just a little less powerful than she had been at the beginning.
After the two returned to the village, Yu Xing found that it was getting dark again, and the time of each day was at least three times faster, which shortened his daytime activity time a lot.
However, the night time must have been shortened, and he had no way of knowing that he had only slept for a few hours the other day, which was a number that made him sleepy from time to time.
At night, Yu Xing slept at Granny Li's house as usual, and today Granny Li did not make any mistakes, and Yu Xing slept peacefully.
His mood became more and more settled, because the matter here had already been revealed, and all the things he wanted to find but couldn't find out would be known when the goddess and the water ghost did something to him.
I'm afraid that there is no way to advance this incident, and now that there is a way, he just needs to wait for the opportunity.
It is worth mentioning that the day's thinking made him suspect that he was now in the realm of some kind of ghost, and his memory was also shielded by this powerful ghost.
The reason why he thought this way was because he couldn't think of any other reason to strip his memories away, not even the servants could do this.
After all, the Lingren is still a human being, and even if he has a mysterious power that is difficult for him to understand at first, he cannot directly send his body or consciousness into a scene that is so realistically shaped.
Of course, if in the memory that he can't remember, the reality has passed a long, long time, and the ability of the Lingren has become stronger...... But Yu Xing felt that this possibility was not as high as he thought now.
Yu Xing remembers that when he was locked up in the experimental base, he had to draw blood every day, slice it, and test various values with medical instruments imported from abroad, which were not so efficient.
But in his anger and anguish, he noticed something that wasn't supposed to be at base.
It was a black, indescribable mass that hovered at the end of dozens of tubes inserted into his skin every day, sending wisps of unknown mist into his body.
The mist made him cold, and he could feel that under the transformation of this mass of things, his body was constantly changing in the direction of moving away from humans, and his mind was gradually alienated.
The experimenters could see the mass, but no one dared to approach it, only the servants.
The servant would come to check it every once in a while, and then smiled and said to Yu Xing, who was already numb, "I really didn't misunderstand you, the fusion is so good, surpassing all the other experiments at present." Little master, it's not in vain that I spent so much time for you. ”
Occasionally, Yu Xing could see other strangely dressed people coming in and out with the servants, and overhearing things with his overly sensitive hearing.
For example, the Lingren and those people often have to enter some other place, and they call that place "absurd" the most.
There are many, many ghosts in the absurd, which Yu Xing guessed based on what he heard.
Rarely, he also hears the word "game".
Later, he gradually guessed that the black mass that was transforming him and contrary to science seemed to be brought out of the absurdity, a sacrifice of something, a fragment.
From that moment on, he wanted to know what the servant had gotten from that place called the absurd, and if all the mysterious powers in the servant came from there, he would have wanted to go.
If he could get those powers, he wouldn't be so passive, wouldn't he?
It's not like an exhibit that is being pointed at by so many people here, isn't it?
Even the idea of alienation is constantly reminding him that with his own power, he can kill all these people, right? Let the servants be burned by the flames, screaming, and dying in agony.
But until he escaped from the base, he didn't find any more news about the absurd place, and now ......
Yu Xing is very confident in himself.
After his body and mind were transformed, he didn't believe that he couldn't find the clues of the absurd in the future, he understood that after he was free, no matter what happened to him along the way, he would always look for the absurdity.
Because on the day he left the base, the servant was not there, and he didn't fight the servant head-on.
So the Lingren is still alive.
In order to prevent the servants from turning against him again, he will definitely try his best to seize the initiative and ensure that he is not at the mercy of will.
If he is in the absurdity now, in the realm of the absurd ghost, then everything makes sense.
"I'm not sure, but it's the best possibility, and I hope I'm not wrong about what I know about myself." Yu Xing pillowed his hand in the night outside the window.
Before going to bed, he borrowed the bathroom of Granny Li's house to take a bath, which was heated by Granny Li with fire.
Yu Xing has almost never seen such an old method of boiling water, he was born into a very wealthy family, an official in ancient times, after the establishment of the Republic of China, he ran a local chamber of commerce, doing any business.
He has never been in business, but he knows more or less, in short, there are people from their family in both black and white, so he has always lived a life of very good material conditions.
Showers have been there since childhood.
In the experimental base, it was either a shower, or he was soaked in a strange liquid, and there was no chance to take a shower at all.
So the first time he took a hot shower with a wooden barrel, he was really a little fresh, but this freshness faded when he thought about the current situation.
"Assuming I'm right, if I want to get out of here, there may be two ways, first, to investigate what happened between the two villages, restore a complete chain, and then lift the ban and return to reality. Second, kill the water ghost...... Because the water ghost is the only supernatural thing I've ever seen here. Yu Xing muttered to herself, organizing all her thoughts into two tasks.
These two tasks are still the first and more difficult for him.
Because in order to understand the whole thing, he had to follow the irregular flow of time. And the second task, killing water ghosts, is much clearer.
Yu Xing pinched his knuckles and felt the power in his body now, "I don't know why my strength is so much weaker than in my memory, is this also a kind of prohibition?" ”
Not to mention that the strength is seven or eight tenths less than when he first escaped, the sensitivity of the five senses has also decreased a lot, and the physical strength is even worse than that of a normal person, as if the entire body has been destroyed by a curse from the inside.
He knew that the curse of his body would not be removed in the future, because the first time he was touched by the goddess, he had a feeling of coldness and upwelling for a moment, which felt too familiar to him, and this feeling would continue to last when he was plugged into the pipe to receive the mist delivery of the black ball every day.
But at that time, the physical fitness was the most terrifying stage, the cold aura could only bring him pain, and the real damage was not great, unlike now, Yu Xing felt that if he stirred up the surge of that aura at this time, he would have to die in less than half an hour.
Die...... After dying and resurrecting, repeat the process.
However, he weighed it, and if he really exploded suicidally with that breath, the water ghost would definitely be wiped out in it.
It is an indiscriminate attack when the breath erupts, which may hurt the innocent.
However, he has no good intentions now, and whether these villagers are innocent or not is not in his consideration, so it is not difficult to kill the water ghosts.
"Let's see tomorrow...... Try to figure out what happened. Yu Xing whispered softly and closed his eyes.
His spirit also needs to be nurtured.
……
The Ghost of the Green Ghost has detected that you have used the innate ability "Dream Intervention" on the deducer Yu Xing, and now the restrictions on you will be strengthened, and in this deduction, you have lost the ability related to dreams.
Although the deduction system was silent in Yu Xing's mind, as an individual hidden in Yu Xing's personality mask, Yiqing could still receive warnings from the system alone from time to time.
In an illusory bamboo house, Yiqing was lying on a bamboo chair, his hair was spread out, he was holding a fan, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, looking like a bad student who didn't listen to the lecture.
"Why are you so strict, I just strengthened the probability that he dreamed of the past, let me tell you, even if I don't interfere, with his ability, he will be able to recall part of it soon." With a snap, Yiqing took a sip of hot tea, "It's better to let this happen in a dream, I can still watch from the sidelines, isn't it good to know more about him?" ”
The promotion deduction of the deducer needs to work his own, and there can be no external ability to interfere, you have violated the law.
The system really replied to him, and Yiqing took another sip of tea, "What a good opportunity this is, you only prompted me to follow him, but you didn't tell me what kind of person he is." If you don't say it, I'll naturally have to figure it out myself. Well, I know you're not a living being, you don't have emotions, just a void will. But isn't weighing the pros and cons what you're best at? ”
He seemed to be talking to himself, but he was not embarrassed at all, and he smiled to himself, the old god said, "Since you deliberately asked me to spy on him after discovering that his data was abnormal...... Then I should give some permission and let me have an environment to spy on him. ”
"Hmm, I understand the meaning of surveillance, you are afraid that this abnormal data will undergo uncontrollable changes, and you need a strong enough person or ghost to contain him, I agreed."
The young ghost who didn't know how old he was lazily raised his eyes, looked at the misty chaos outside the window of the bamboo house and the strange dreams that flashed from time to time in the chaos, and said in a negotiating tone, "But if it is a boring person, I will not agree to this errand, most of the words with him in the bar are true, you must have heard it, I was interested in him, so I went with him." It can be said that ...... Interest in him comes first, and your hint is only second, so if you want me to keep an eye on this instability for you, don't stop me from exploring this interesting person, you say? ”
You have violated the rules, and there is no penalty for this violation due to your mission, but you still need to stop interfering with the promotion game of the deducer Yu Xing.
"Okay, I've already seen some of it anyway, he's more fun than I imagined, and I won't be bored in the next ten years." Yiqing accepted it when he saw it, and didn't bargain with the system anymore, and then suddenly remembered something, "However, the more I look at it, the more I feel that Yu Xing's age is very problematic." ”
"Won't he not only not be killed, but he won't die of old age?" When the system prompted him to sign an agreement with Yu Xing, he didn't mention this.
Although Yiqing has no regrets now, he already feels that he has been tricked by the system.
This time, the system remained silent, as if it hadn't heard his question.
……
A good night's sleep.
Yu Xing subconsciously returned to the cage under the warm sunshine and found that he was not dreaming today.
Sure enough, when he was about to dream about the mountain village last night, he was cut off by a mysterious force, which would not allow him to use the dream medium to obtain superfluous information.
He closed his eyes and slowed down for a moment, and suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice, "Brother Yu Xing, Brother Yu Xing, get up!" ”
A young and energetic voice sounded in his ears, and Yu Xing opened his eyes in surprise and saw Mai Mai's little face.
He suppressed the surprise in his eyes and looked around.
Good guy, he's back to Lao Zhang's house...... And it is still the old Zhang family that has not become a deserted village.
