As the iron gate opened, the girl slowly walked in step by step, her eyes looked around, the courtyard was full of scattered dead leaves, and the flowers on the side of the road were messy, as if no one had repaired and cleaned them for a long time.

The huge manor was empty.

Following the route in her memory, Meng Shaohua walked in slowly, she saw the tools that the servants had used to clean fallen in the corner, and saw the wine bottles on the stone table in the vestibule, empty wine bottles were piled up all over the table, I don't know who left them, and they were also covered with dust.

She slowly walked through the corridor in front of the villa, walked to the door, and stretched out her hand to push slightly. The electronic lock on the door has long been invalid, but it is only gently hidden, and the girl just pushes it, and easily opens the door.

Meng Shaohua walked into the villa with red eyes and a stunned face, but the scene inside made her stunned.

Her father, Meng Changli, was self-made and was an extremely strict and serious person in his daily life.

No matter when, he will always require and emphasize neatness and cleanliness, under his influence, the neatness of the entire Meng Mansion can be imagined, and at this moment, Meng Shaohua walked into the villa and saw the scene in front of her, which made her never think of it.

Broken glass residues, messy fallen tables and chairs, and even unknown dark brown marks left on the floor, and the entire hall was filled with a foul smell.

Such a scene does not look like the scene when the people in the house leave safely and normally.

Meng Shaohua's hands trembled slightly, her face turned pale, and she suddenly ran towards the stairs.

On the second floor, in Meng Changli's study, the girl suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in, she looked at the chaotic room, the bookshelves were crooked, almost all the books in it fell to the ground, and the scattered pages were everywhere.

She slowly walked to the desk, looking at the documents on the table, Meng Shaohua picked them up and opened them.

I saw that this was a list of data, which was full of dense strange symbols and numbers, and the only place she could understand was the stamp in the lower right corner, which was engraved with the three big characters 'Meng Changli'.

"Father......" The girl recalled that day, Meng Changli ruthlessly ordered her to leave the Meng house, and even refused to give her a look, her fingers subconsciously grabbed the letter of the document, and muttered in distraction.

She put the papers away and reluctantly searched around the room for some more clues.

But after rummaging through the entire study, Meng Shaohua didn't find anything of value.

She sat alone in the scattered pile of books, and her eyes inadvertently swept over the photo on the side wall of the study, which was a family photo, on which was her figure when she was five years old, held in the arms of her parents, and smiled sweetly at the camera happily.

The girl's gaze did not leave for a long time, and she sat there quietly, as if in a daze.

If she had known that her future would be like this, would she still be able to smile like this at the beginning?

Meng Shaohua didn't know this answer, and she didn't want to know either.

It doesn't make any sense anymore, does it?

I don't know how long she sat down, but the girl slowly stood up, leaned against the wall, and walked out with difficulty with her numb legs.

When she came to the stairs, she wanted to leave directly, looked up at the third floor, and her footsteps paused slightly, and she couldn't help but walk upstairs.

On the third floor, near the staircase, was the door she had dreamed of opening for countless nights, and it was her bedroom.

Like all the daughters, her bedroom is extremely gorgeous, warm yellow and mild tones, bright room, neat dresser and desk, Meng Shaohua slowly walked to the desk, her fingers gently brushed the table, raised her hand and rubbed it slightly.

There is only a thin layer of ash......

The girl's eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

She turned and walked to her huge closet, opened the door, and saw that it was almost full of delicate clothes, brand new, and her whole shoulder trembled slightly.

I...... I remember that the day I left home, my wardrobe was not like this......

He, why, why did he?!

The girl's tears could no longer be controlled, and the bean-sized tears slid down the floor with a subtle ticking sound.

She turned around with difficulty, and suddenly saw a princess doll placed in the corner of her bed, which was a birthday present from her father when she was four years old, and she remembered that she had held the doll for three whole days and refused to let go, and she was very happy.

The princess doll is delicate and cute, smiling at the girl, as if to comfort her broken heart.

Meng Shaohua picked up the doll, hugged it tightly in his arms, wiped the tears in his eyes, and suddenly saw a note at the doll.

She picked it up lightly and folded it to see a line of small characters on it, which was her mother's handwriting.

"If there is a god, I am willing to give up this body, the only thing I want, my daughter will be satisfied."

My daughter is ......

Mom......

Meng Shaohua clutched the note tightly in the palm of his hand, covered it on his chest, and closed his eyes tremblingly.

Outside the room, Mo He leaned quietly on the railing, he saw that the girl hadn't come out for a long time, he couldn't help it, for fear that Meng Shaohua would have any other ideas, so he came in to take a look, and when he saw that she was still standing inside, he finally put his mind at ease.

Half an hour...... An hour passed......

Hearing the slightly messy footsteps behind him, Mohe turned around silently, looked at the girl, and did not speak.

"Uncle Mo...... You said before that you could let me see him, is that true? The girl spoke softly.

Hearing this, Mo He frowned slightly, leaned on the railing and pondered for a moment before saying, "I will find a way to let you meet." ”

"It's just that you have to be mentally prepared."

Meng Shaohua raised his head, his pretty face full of tears was expressionless, and he looked at him quietly.

"Your father, he's not in a good place." Mo He sighed slightly and said: "I don't know the specific situation, what your father has experienced during this period of time is not something that can be easily explained to you for a while, and from my personal point of view, it is not convenient to explain anything to you." ”

"Shaohua girl, go to my house for one night first, and tomorrow morning, I will find a way to contact you."

A hint of complexity flashed in Meng Shaohua's eyes, and he bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Mo." ”

"It doesn't matter." Mo He smiled a little bitterly.

"After all...... We're also colleagues. ”

……

Hearing the blue-haired man's words, Mu Bei was silent, although she wanted to say that she would not let that guy appear again, but no one could say what would happen in the future.

Just like this time, in the Third Akatsuki War, the sudden appearance of the Gluttonous Red Demon forced her to burst out all her strength and break through the seal in her body with the help of the rich Akatsuki energy.

Because of this, Akatsuki's energy stimulated the guy's awakening, and because he spent a huge amount of spirit and strength, he unknowingly fell into her illusion, but was accidentally controlled by him.

"I'll keep that guy under control." Mu Bei looked at the man, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know, how did you find out about her existence." ”

"From the moment I felt the strong Akatsuki energy in you, I paid attention to you." The man turned around, looked at the girl lying on the stone bed, and said lightly: "Your soul fluctuation was very strange at that time, and there was a very evil aura hidden in it. ”

"Just when you took out that sword, although your strength reached its peak, the spiritual level became very weak, and that aura began to grow quietly, and I noticed her existence at that time."

"Because that aura in your body is too threatening, I can't sit idly by, so I took the initiative to bring you here."

"I'm sorry for that." The man turned his head slightly, looked at Mu Bei and said.

"Because I didn't expect your consciousness to remain intact under the oppression of that kind of guy, and it wasn't even affected."

"Now it seems that you are not a simple being."

Mu Bei stood up, walked to the man's side, looked at the blue light on his body, and the surging luster of the girl's body on the stone bed, a trace of doubt flashed in his red eyes, and asked softly, "Your body ...... What exactly is this force? ”

"Why, I feel an inexplicable sense of depression around me."

The man replied blandly: "There seems to be some kind of source full of Akatsuki's energy hidden in your body, although it seems to be in a sealed state now, its breath still remains on your body. ”

"In the Ruins of Shadows, the Akatsuki energy is something that is rejected."

"If you don't feel uncomfortable, I'll be weird."

Hearing this, Mu Bei was stunned: "Rejecting the Red Moon energy? ”

"The Ruins of the Shadows...... What is this place? How come I've never heard of it here? ”

"I haven't bothered to tell you that the place you are in now is no longer the world you used to be." The man seemed to be very patient, and said to Mu Bei in an indifferent tone: "You are still the first to come here as a living person. ”

"If you want to go back to that world, I'm sorry, I didn't plan for you to go back, so I don't know how you can get out of here."

Mu Bei's expression was slightly solemn, she looked at the man, and said in a slightly incredulous tone: "A living person? Another world? What do you mean by that? ”

"Literally." The man smiled faintly: "In this world, there are no living people. ”

"All human beings here exist in a way called the soul body, they have souls, but they don't have bodies."

"Here, they can manipulate their soul power to do things that are no different from ordinary people on your side, but, in a sense, their existence is no longer alive in the world."

“…… Just...... ...... in the way of the soul Exist. Mu Bei muttered, "Ghosts? ”

"Well, so to speak." The man smiled inexplicably: "The ruins of the shadow are the underworld in a sense. ”

"However, there is no such thing as black and white impermanence here, only ferrymen."

"And I'...... It's the so-called ferryman. ”

"The Ferryman...... What do you mean......" Mu Bei's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and he stared at the man tightly and said, "Are you saying that all the creatures here are actually incarnated by the souls of human beings in the world I was in before?!" ”

"You brought them here!"

The ferryman shook his head slightly, nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Not everyone is qualified to enter here, only if the soul strength reaches a certain requirement of the Shadow Ruins, I will go to collect it." ”

"Bring their souls here, turn into ghosts, and continue to live in this place."

"Soul ...... Does this kind of thing really exist? "Mu Bei seems a little unimaginable.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" The ferryman raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly: "Didn't you also see it with your own eyes?" ”

"That guy's soul...... Even monsters like the Red Demon have souls, so why can't humans have souls? ”
