"Why, can't you face the fact that you're dead?" The ferryman's tone was faintly mocking.

Chu Tinglan was slightly distracted, and he muttered, "If I have died, then I am ...... now And what? ”

The ferryman said lightly: "Excuse me...... It's a special ghost who has awakened the memories of his past life. ”

"You...... I don't belong to that world anymore. ”

"Not a ...... Is it? Hearing this, Chu Tinglan smiled a little lonely and said, "So that's the case." ”

"I've always wanted to find my way back."

"But now, it's going back, and it's also going back to a world that doesn't belong to me at all?"

"So, are you going to give up?" A voice came from behind him.

Chu Tinglan was slightly stunned, he turned his head and watched the red-eyed girl come forward, her delicate pupils staring at him deeply, as if she was suppressing some heavy emotion.

"Do you want to completely break the line with your past and start over?" Mu Bei asked softly.

"Re-...... Begin? ”

The girl's tone was a little strange, Chu Tinglan frowned slightly, looked at the red-eyed girl in front of him seriously, and asked, "Girl, can I ask you, do you really not know me?" ”

"Does it matter to you now, whether you know or not?" Mu Bei said.

Hearing this, Chu Tinglan smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Yes, it's not important anymore." ”

He looked back at the ferryman and said, "Although I already know these things, I don't intend to change my original goal. ”

"I want to touch it with my own hands, the truth I want to explore, the truth about this world......" Chu Tinglan lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "This truth, I can feel it, only when I go to that place, can I fully understand." ”

"In that case." The ferryman glanced at a few people, then turned and walked forward.

"Then let's go."

"I'd like to see how far you can go."

Mu Bei followed wordlessly, Chu Tinglan looked at her in surprise and asked, "Girl, you also want to ......"

"Call me Mubei." Mu Bei didn't look back and said lightly.

"Mubei, are you going to that place too?" Chu Tinglan asked suspiciously.

"Like you, I had to go there for a purpose." The girl glanced back at him and whispered, "I don't have the truth I want to know, but I have something I want to do." ”

"I need that strength."

With that, she took Ino's hand and followed the ferryman.

"That power? "......Chu Tinglan was very curious about this girl who felt familiar from the bottom of her heart, but this girl named Mu Bei didn't seem to want to say anything more to him, but she seemed to be very concerned about some of the things he said.

Returning to the ruins is extremely dangerous, why is it that she must choose to go to that place like herself......

Chu Tinglan didn't know, and Mu Bei wouldn't tell him, walking silently on the hard stone ground, her expression was a little dazed.

The farthest distance in the world is probably that he stands in front of you, but he has long forgotten you.

……

North Wind Plain, cliffside.

After a long time, the girl came to this place again, the mountain wind between the cliffs blowing her long hair, carrying the fragrance of a patch of grass.

She raised her head and looked at the purple flowers growing wantonly on the opposite cliff, and the vines stretched and bloomed in the wind.

The girl buried the broken golden armor in her arms into the soil on the side of the cliff, buried it very deeply, and gently inserted a wisteria flower on it.

There is no way for a wisteria flower to survive for a long time without the vine, but the girl still did it, she buried the rhizome of the flower under the soil, stood at a distance, looked at it for a long time.

I don't know when, the girl's figure quietly left, leaving only the wisteria flower, still isolated in the wind, and I don't know when it will wither.

……

The Ruins of Shadows, the Eastern Region, the Far West.

If you want to get to that place that is extremely mysterious to the ghost, the first thing you need to cross is a place called the Shadow Barrier.

This place, not literally, is a barrier that blocks the road, but a stretch of area.

On the way to the ruins, for some reason, there are all kinds of extremely powerful shadow beasts entrenched here, they have extremely strong hostility towards the ghosts who dare to set foot here, as long as they enter their sensing range, they will be immediately attacked by them.

The Shadows who had stepped into this place and escaped from the Shadow Beasts by luck preferred to call this place the Shadow Barrier the Shadow Barrier.

It means that the Ghost can only stop here, and will never be able to step through this moat.

After a short journey, Mu Bei and the others came to the border close to the eastern region and the central region, walking in a narrow mountain road, faintly hearing the sound of the beast roaring from the front, Chu Tinglan's expression became slightly solemn, and said, "It's already here." ”

"Ahead, there's the Shadow Barrier."

"Not bad." The ferryman paused, looked back at Mu Bei and Chu Tinglan, and said in a deep voice: "Through the shadow barrier, the ruins are in its depths. ”

He walked slowly, picked up Ino, and said to them, "Gaining His approval is not something that can be done easily. ”

"From now on, I will never help you again."

"If you fail, you will pay the price of your life."

"Now, it's your last chance."

"To enter, or not to enter!"

"To live or to die!"

The ferryman's voice was cold and heavy, and his expression was not moved in the slightest, only serious and serious.

"If your lives are in danger...... his tone paused slightly, and then he sneered: "Don't think that I will save you, if you die, I will only leave immediately without hesitation." ”

"I do what I say."

"No need." Mu Bei walked forward calmly and said lightly: "There is nothing to hesitate about. ”

"I might die."

"But it must be dead in my way." The girl's voice revealed incomparable determination, and she murmured, "This is the only way for me to move forward. ”

"Since even Miss Mubei is like this, how can I fall behind." Chu Tinglan smiled slightly, he nodded at the ferryman, and said, "Thank you, Lord ferryman." ”

Immediately, following Mu Bei's footsteps, he walked up.

Seeing the two of them enter the shadow barrier, Ino asked with some concern, "Lord Ferryman, do you really care about Sister Mubei and them?" ”

The ferryman said lightly: "This is the path chosen between the two of them, I can't change it, and I won't change it." ”

"From the moment they walked into the shadow barrier, the chance of coming out alive was almost non-existent."

Ino was stunned, and she hurriedly shouted: "How come, Sister Mubei is so powerful, and that ghost named Lan Jun, how can they not have a chance at all." ”

With a sudden wave of his palm, the ferryman suddenly flew into the air, stepping on a very high place, and calmly stared at the huge black shadows that were moving slowly on the ground in the distance.

"The strength of the two of them is very strong, even stronger than the vast majority of Dacheng Phantoms, but the Phantom Beast is not so easy to deal with."

"Maybe they have a glimmer of possibility, they really walked before returning to the ruins, and really stepped into the abyss where he was."

The ferryman sneered, "If you want to get His approval, you have to rely on that impure Red Demon Ghost and that outsider? It's simply not possible. ”

"If you don't get the recognition, you will disturb Him, and there is no second possibility except death."

Ino couldn't say a word for a long time, she looked at the two small figures below, they had already begun to make contact with the shadow beast herd, and one after another beast roars rang out, gradually spreading into the distance.

"What to do...... Eno didn't want them to die. Ino's eyes were full of worry, and the ferryman stood calmly in the air and said, "You can't stop it, even if you appear in front of them now and tell them what I said before, they won't give up their choice." ”

"They have a deep obsession in their hearts, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve it for a certain purpose."

"This kind of person, once he has great power, has an extremely terrifying impact."

The ferryman's eyes deepened slightly, and he said softly: "They are the most likely to become variables. ”

……

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the weather gradually became colder, and November was not a special day for the people in Langton City, who would still live as usual peacefully.

However, for some people, a certain point in time is quietly approaching.

Langton City, western suburbs.

The thin girl sat on the floor-to-ceiling windowsill, staring at the sky outside through the glass.

"Girl, what do you want?"

There was a sound at the door, and the girl did not look back, and after a while, she heard footsteps behind her, and a deep voice came into her ears.

"Uncle Mo, you're back." Meng Shaohua retracted her gaze, turned her head calmly, she looked at Mohe, the corners of her mouth pulled out a slight arc, and said softly.

"If you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself." Mohe sighed: "There is still half a month left. ”

"It is said that next week, there will be complete martial law at Magliton Prison, and if you want to see him, this is the only week."

Meng Shaohua was not moved, she just said softly: "Can I see him?" ”

"I went there again today, and the warden finally responded." Mo He said helplessly: "The above agreed, but you must avoid everyone's sight, not even appear in the jailer's sight, and go to see him alone, and only for three minutes." ”

Meng Shaohua was slightly stunned and asked, "Even the jailer can't know?" Why? ”

"This is the above statement, I don't really understand, in short, this is your last choice, whether you want to go or not, you can only depend on your own decision."

Meng Shaohua nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll arrange this with the warden, you have to adjust your emotions, time is pressing, you have to prepare all the things you want to ask him."

After that, Mohe quickly turned around and left, and Meng Shaohua sat on the sofa, imagining in his mind what that person looked like now, what he would look like.

After spending so much time in prison and experiencing such a blow, he must be very decadent.

After all, he used to be such a proud person.

Three-minute ......

What should I ask him?

Meng Shaohua thought about it, sleepiness quietly flooded her mind, and the fatigue of this period of time made her easily immersed in dreams.

In her sleep, she returned to the familiar courtyard, and saw her mother leaning lazily on the chaise longue, reading a book while looking at her with doting eyes from time to time.

Seeing his father, he sat down at the stone table, talking with the old butler and paying attention to her, with a gentle smile on his face.

I saw herself, in the courtyard, free, carefree running and laughing.

On the sofa, the girl subconsciously curled up.

Two lines of clear tears slipped quietly from the corners of her eyes, wetting the placket of her clothes.
