The concept of the soul has always been a matter of keen interest in human beings.

In this world, whether there really is a soul, whether human consciousness is really controlled by the soul. Since human beings began to think about this question, the study of the soul has never stopped.

As for Mu Bei, once, she didn't believe in the fact that souls existed, because she had never thought about it.

But at this moment, when she came to this world, this world called the Shadow Ruins, her perception of the soul had a new change.

There is no day and night in the ruins of shadows, and the ghosts control their work and rest by the springs and falls of the spiritual springs in the settlement, and the same is true of the caves.

Because of the influence of the previous "Mubei" power, most of the ghosts in the cave fell into a coma and woke up again, completely unable to remember what was controlled by "Mubei" before.

And those who vaguely understood the truth, except for Ino, were only Youqi and Ye Qingli, who came from afar, and the two of them were entrusted by the ferryman, and they didn't talk nonsense at will, and completely buried the previous things in their hearts, but later, they occasionally looked at the red-eyed girl's gaze, with a little complexity and deep meaning.

They didn't know what the power contained in this girl named Mubei meant, let alone what the Red Moon Energy and Red Demon were.

In the eyes of the two, this girl named Mu Bei is almost the same as Lord Watar, an existence shrouded in mystery.

Everyone in the cave woke up, they were a little puzzled, their previous memories were blurred, they didn't even know why they were lying like this with the other ghosts, they only remembered that something seemed to have happened before, but they had no clue after thinking about it.

The elder of the cave came to his senses, he was not deeply controlled by the power of "Mubei", and there was still a little residual memory, he recalled that in front of the spiritual spring before, there was a figure, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body, although he couldn't remember the specific appearance of the figure, but the eyes that flashed with a strange red light were deeply engraved in his mind.

Could it be ...... Invaded in the cave?!

The old man was suddenly startled, looked around, and saw that the familiar ghosts in the cave were leaning together, staying in the open space on the side of the sinkhole, some of them were looking around blankly, and some of the ghosts were lying on the ground and fell asleep, but their souls were safe and sound.

Just when he was puzzled, a figure that he had been looking forward to for a long time walked over and said in an indifferent tone that made him feel extremely reassured: "It's all right." ”

"Lord Watari!" The old man walked over in surprise. Standing in front of the ferryman, he suddenly saw another slender figure behind the ferryman, and saw those red eyes.

"You!" Subconsciously the soul flickered slightly, and the old man was a little panicked, but even after calming down, he looked at the girl's red eyes, which were completely different from the ones he remembered.

The pair of red eyes imprinted in the depths of his mind were full of arrogant, cold, depressed, and bewishing emotions, and the girl in front of him, although they were also red eyes, were crystal clear, and there was only calm and indifference in them.

"Are you the girl that Lord Dao Ling brought back before?" The old man wondered.

Hearing this, Mu Bei was slightly stunned, she didn't remember how she came here, and raised her eyes to look at the tall blue-haired man in front of her.

"You don't have to care about her affairs, everything that happened before in the cave has been resolved, and you don't need to ask more, you just need to calm everything down." The ferryman said lightly, his eyes moved to the two people walking towards them on the side, and said, "You two, come with me." ”

"Lord Wager." As soon as You Qi and Ye Qingli came over, they heard the words of the ferryman, and walked to the side with the ferryman with some doubts.

"There are some things that are not necessarily good to know more." The ferryman glanced at the two of them lightly and said, "What you saw and heard before, you should know it in your own heart, and you must not disclose it to others at will." ”

"Yes, Lord Watari." The two of them nodded.

After speaking, Youqi raised his head, looked at the ferryman, and asked softly, "Lord ferryman, Arnold...... How is she? ”

The ferryman's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Her soul body is abnormal, and I can't find a better way to deal with it for the time being, but I will stay here and replenish her soul body with enough ghost stones to help her survive the soul crisis." ”

Hearing this, Youqi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and having the assurances of the ferryman really made him feel a lot more at ease.

The ferryman nodded slightly, turned around and left, Mu Bei followed, and the two came to the entrance of the sinkhole, and the girl finally spoke: "Wait a minute." ”

"What do you want to say?" The ferryman paused, did not look back, and said.

"You said before that there is no way to get me out of this world? Ever back there? Mu Bei's eyes looked at him and asked.

The ferryman turned his head, looked at the girl, and said in a subtle tone: "Explain to you that the reason why I was able to bring you into this world is because of my own ferryman's ability and ......."

He stroked the long knife on his back and said lightly: "The power of the envoy." ”

"Your body, the body of a living person, came here from that world, although without my help, you wouldn't have been able to find the spatial coordinates here, let alone get to this place."

"However, such behavior is within the scope of the rules."

Mu Bei frowned slightly, she vaguely understood what the ferryman wanted to express.

"In other words, if there is a person who has the same means of crossing space and is able to lock the coordinates of this world, then he can come to this world without me, and he can come to this world with the body of a living person, and to do so, it is allowed by this world." The ferryman said lightly: "But if on the contrary, you want to use the body of a living person, and in turn from here, back to the previous world, unfortunately, the one-way existence of the void power in the slit of the world will completely shatter your body. ”

"You can't get through at all."

"That is, if I want to go back, I must have the same ...... as you Soul body? Mu Bei muttered.

"But it's also impossible." There was a hint of mockery in the ferryman's eyes, and he said: "The body of a living person will bind the soul, and in the case of having a body, it is impossible for your soul to reflect the soul body in this world. ”

"So, from now on, you can only stay in this world."

Hearing this, Mu Bei's expression did not change, she looked at the ferryman, and asked slowly: "Then what about you, according to my observation, your current state does not seem to be a soul body like other people, but has the body of a living person like me." ”

"......" The ferryman's expression was slightly stunned, he looked at Mu Bei, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Just when Mu Bei couldn't help but ask for other words, the ferryman finally spoke.

"If it's really possible, this may be the only way you can get out of this world."

The ferryman's eyes were a little trance-like, and for the first time, this tall blue-haired man showed such emotions in front of Mu Bei.

"Become a ferryman."

"To be the second ferryman besides me. It's the only way you can get out of here. ”

Mu Bei's tone was a little puzzled: "Ferryman? ”

The ferryman's gaze was a little deep, and he said slowly: "The power of the ferryman can give you the power of the soul far beyond the limit of the human race, so that you can reflect the soul body when you have a body. ”

"But it's almost impossible to be a ferryman."

"Why?" Mu Bei's red eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked softly, "Since you can do it, why can't I?" ”

"Because...... From the very beginning, when I was born here, I was already a ferryman. The ferryman smiled softly and said, "It's been so long, so long that I have almost forgotten what my original self was like." ”

"Calculated in terms of the time of your world, I was born in this world before people and civilization were still alive."

Hearing this, Mu Bei's heart suddenly shook, and in her mind, a picture subconsciously appeared, which was a lush forest mottled, through the gaps in the leaves, you could see a blue sky, cloudless, incomparably clean, just like the sky was when it was first born.

She slowly closed her eyes and banished the image from her mind.

"I've been through so much since I was born." "I don't want to dwell on my so-called past, because that would be meaningless. ”

"Wanting to become a ferryman, for countless years, after knowing my existence, many creatures in the Shadow Ruins have also had such thoughts, but without exception, they have all failed."

"Under the endless abyss, the souls of the unrecognized creatures have turned into nourishment for this world, and their traces have been completely erased from this world by Him, and there is no possibility of returning."

"What do you mean? He? Mu Bei was puzzled.

"He is referring to the will of this world." The ferryman said solemnly: "The ruins of the shadows, this world, are alive. ”

"He never reveals his traces easily, and only when anything happens that would harm the world, He reveals and erases the source."

"When I was fighting with the guy in your body before, she injured the knife spirit, and the knife spirit is a ferry envoy recognized by him, which is equivalent to a part of the power of my crosser, and all of him showed his eyes, but because I was there, he didn't do it directly, otherwise the guy in your body wouldn't have any ability to fight back."

"World Will ......" Mu Bei's expression finally changed, the impact of the Shadow Ruins on her was too much, not only the existence of the soul ghost, but now even the will of the world can actually manifest.

In other words, the so-called ferryman is the one who needs to receive Him...... Is that the approval of the will of the world? ”

"Yes, in theory, it does." The ferryman said lightly: "But I can't guarantee it, because apart from me, the naturally born ferryman, there is no second creature who can be recognized." ”

"But if you want to leave the ruins of the shadows and become a ferryman, that's your last resort."

"But if you fail, the complete annihilation of the soul is the only ending, and there are no surprises"

"It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay." The ferryman gave her a faint look, turned around, and stepped into the void, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Standing in place, Mu Bei was silent for a long time, her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly smiled softly.

"If I can't go back to that world and continue to fight against Akatsuki, my life doesn't have any meaning."

"The ferryman......

The red-eyed girl slowly turned around and walked into the cave, knowing very well that she didn't have much choice.

Her life is destined to be a road without forks.

Be duty-bound not to turn back.
