Chapter Twenty-Three: Rejuvenation
Xiao Ling struggled to move forward slowly, wanting to escape further, but his physical strength had run out, and finally, he felt the world spinning, falling down heavily, his eyes were white, and then he turned into a cloud of darkness, and he didn't know anything.
His mind stopped thinking.
Xiao Ling's mind had only one thought at the last moment.
He's dead.
I don't know how long it took, as long as a century had passed, Xiao Ling's consciousness suddenly seemed to wake up from the boundless chaos.
Just woke up, Xiao Ling's mind was chaotic, and he only had a sense of self, but for a while he didn't even understand who he was.
After a while, slowly, Xiao Ling recalled who he was, and knew that his name was Xiao Ling, who was originally just an ordinary sophomore studying at a provincial university, but because of a car accident on a long-distance bus ride home, he became the only survivor and suffered a head injury.
After that, his world began to change.
He can see mysterious phenomena that others can't, and he can see small white figures appear when a human body dies, like a human soul.
I can see a big white hand that appeared in the void, capturing these white villains, once this white villain is captured, this person will definitely die, but unfortunately, no one believes what he said, but treats him as a mental illness.
After that, he met Zhou Kesheng, who was the first person to believe in himself.
Thinking of Zhou Kesheng, Xiao Ling's mind cleared up a little, and he wanted to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and he didn't have the slightest strength in his body, let alone raise his hands and feet, he couldn't even open his eyes.
The only thing he felt was that he seemed to be lying on the ground, with some stones on his back, some sharp, and some pain pressing on his back.
After a long time, Xiao Ling felt that he had regained some strength and could finally open his eyes.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a dark sky.
After that, he felt that his hands and feet could be moved, and his body was rapidly recovering.
Supporting the ground with his hands, Xiao Ling sat up from the ground, and he saw Yu Tingting not far away.
Yu Tingting, like him, was struggling to slowly sit up from the ground.
Xiao Ling saw that Yu Tingting was full of white hair and wrinkles, and she looked like a frail old man of eighty or ninety years old, but the wrinkles on her face were slowly disappearing, and the original white hair was turning black.
She was rejuvenated.
"This ...... This is ......" Xiao Ling looked surprised, thought of something, and hurriedly reached out and touched his face.
Yes, he also has wrinkles on his face, but he can feel that the wrinkles on his face are slowly disappearing, and he, like Yu Tingting, is rejuvenating, so his physical strength is recovering, from the original weakened appearance, and gradually regaining his youthful state.
Yu Tingting looked up and also saw Xiao Ling, who was getting younger, and the look of shock and shock on her face was the same as him.
Xiao Ling's mind was in chaos, and he looked around again.
They are still on the Black Mountain, and the people who have just died are slowly waking up and getting up from the ground one after another, all of them are the same, and they are beginning to become younger from their original aging appearance, and their youth and vitality are recovering.
Sun Tao, Pang Yan, Qin Yang, Wang Lei, Hu Shengzhe......
One after another, everyone was stunned, everything that had just happened seemed to be a dream, and some people couldn't help but bite their fingers, wondering if they were still dreaming.
It wasn't until the pain in his finger told him that it was all real.
"Sister Ting, what's going on?" As he continued to get younger, Xiao Ling's physical strength recovered the fastest, and soon, he got up from the ground.
He couldn't figure out what was going on.
Yu Tingting frowned, thought hard, and muttered: "The bamboo slip left by Xu Fu said that something terrible happened, and immortality was like a curse, could it be that this is the phenomenon that is happening now?" ”
In just a short period of time, Xiao Ling, Yu Tingting, Wang Lei, Wang Haiyang, Pang Yan and others have all returned to their original appearance one after another.
Including Li Zhibao and Zhou Kesheng, they all came to their senses, and their original aging appearance changed to their previous normal appearance.
The thirty-three people regrouped, all of them were puzzled, and could only think that there was something wrong with the ruins of the building, and did not dare to stay, so they immediately descended the mountain from the other side, away from this place.
Everyone had just walked for less than ten minutes, and there was a problem with their bodies again, Xiao Ling felt that the strength in his body was draining, and went to see Li Zhibao and Zhou Kesheng, the wrinkles on their faces were increasing, and in just a short time, they were at least a few years old.
"It's going to start again." Xiao Ling couldn't help but scream.
Everyone panicked and looked at each other, everyone showed signs of aging again on their bodies, the vitality in their bodies was passing, their physical fitness was declining, and even Xiao Ling, whose physical fitness was several times that of ordinary people, could not be avoided.
Soon, everyone passed out one after another because they were too old.
When Xiao Ling woke up from the coma again, he repeated the previous encounter, gradually becoming young again from the original weakness, and his physical strength was slowly recovering.
The people around him who had passed out due to aging came to their senses one after another.
This time when they woke up again, most of the people in the expedition team began to calm down.
Li Zhibao, Zhou Kesheng, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei, Yu Tingting, Guo Zhenwei and others all gathered together, thinking while watching each other slowly become younger and recover their strength.
Everyone understands that something very bizarre has happened to them, and they are now in the cycle of aging, rejuvenation, and aging, as if they were constantly reincarnating.
No one knew what the final result would be if this continued, but the situation was obviously very dangerous, and every time they returned to their original appearance, everyone could see that the faces of the others had become a little paler, and there was no trace of blood, and everyone knew in their hearts that every time the cycle returned, it would seriously deplete their essence and blood.
If this continues, I am afraid that if we repeat it a few more times, everyone may run out of oil and die in real life.
"Can anyone tell me what evil we have fallen into? Is it a hallucination? Or are you stuck in some kind of nightmare cycle? Hu Shengzhe's hands were clenched into fists, he knew that there were still about ten minutes left from their return to normal to complete aging and unconscious, and they had to find out the answer in these ten minutes, otherwise they would fall into a coma again, and no one knew if they could wake up again.
"It's not a hallucination, it's not a nightmare, there must be a reason for this, there must be a reason for this." Wang Lei muttered, cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Everyone think about it, what similar situations have we ever seen or heard?" ”
