Endless Land
"Did you just put them back?" Yu Siqi asked as he watched the soldiers running towards the reeds.
"Killing is not the only solution," Parvadi said politely, "and for this 'machine' that obeys orders, no matter how many times I wield my butcher's knife, it will not change their minds." ”
"Did they hurt you?" The melodica looked down at Yu Siqi and said, "Those guys are really rude. ”
"The ribs seem to be broken," Yu Siqi suddenly shouted as he checked his injury on the melodica, and the melodica pressed the place and said, "It hurts a little, just bear with it." ”
Yu Siqi, gritting his teeth and not screaming, watched the melodica hands glow with blue light, those rays of light traveled back and forth on his belly, the sharp pain stimulated his facial features, and he felt that someone was roughly splicing together his broken ribs.
When the feeling faded away, the pale Yu Siqi was being wiped with sweat from his head by the melodica with a scented hand towel.
With pale lips, he said lightly, "Thank you," and sat down on the ground in collapse, the stone made his ass less pleasant, but there was nothing he could do to change it. Although the melodica used her magic to repair his ribs that had been kicked by the soldiers, he was weaker than before.
"He's a living man, Mr. Parvadi!" The melodica suddenly jumped up from Yu Siqi's side.
"Obviously," said Pavadi with a calm face, "continue to treat him, he doesn't have the same means of self-healing as we do." ”
"But I have no experience in treating living people, Mr. Parvadi." The melodica looked at Yu Siqi worriedly, a little overwhelmed.
"From now on, you have it." Pavadi stretched out his hand and helped Siqi up and said, "Stand firm, little one." Don't be like a little girl who keeps slipping on the soles of your feet. ”
"It's easy to say," Yu Siqi struggled to support his body.
The blue light condensed in the melodica's hand again, only this time she didn't get close to Yu Siqi, but silently recited some incantation in her mouth. The unusual sensation appeared in Siqi's abdomen, as if someone was pulling something. The churning of his internal organs made Yu Siqi feel the urge to vomit, but his body was clamped by the powerful arm of the Parvadi, and he could not move, and he could only resist this urge until the melodica finished reciting the incantation.
When he finally couldn't help but vomit out all the contents of his abdomen, the incomparably comfortable feeling made him feel a lot more relaxed. Then he fell into an inexplicable panic, judging by the pile of vomit on the ground, he seemed to have vomited a little too much.
Wiping the blood on the side of his mouth, Yu Siqi asked with a hint of suspicion: "That can't be a liver or something, right?" ”
"Yes, I've removed all of your damaged entrails." Melodica said lightly that at the moment she was washing her hand towel by the lake.
This sentence of the melodica made Yu Siqi's heart sink directly to the soles of his feet, without internal organs, how can he live? No, aren't you dead? Thinking about it this way, it seems that whether or not there are internal organs is not very meaningful to a dead person. Just as he was comforting himself, a word from Pavadi sent him into a panic again.
"You'll pass out again in about three hours, and when you wake up, you'll be officially the new guest here." Pawa Di tapped Yu Siqi on the shoulder with his flute and said, "Maybe we can give you an early welcome ceremony?" ”
"Do you mean I only have three hours left to live?" Yu Siqi asked.
"It's that you have only three hours left to be alive," corrected Pavadi, ""and to enter the land of the dead as a living man is a remarkable thing in itself. ”
Seeing Yu Siqi's depressed face, Parvadi added with a smile: "Please don't be too sad, for the sake of the past, you are safe by my side." ”
"Safety can't solve the fact that I'm going to die again," Yu Siqi said with a bitter face, "Didn't I just hear some strange sounds?" Why did you come to you all of a sudden? ”
"Strange sounds?" Pavadi asked with interest, "Where did it come from?" ”
"Behind the curtain in Sha's room," Yu Siqi said.
"What's in there?" Pavadi asked.
"A basin, a basin of suspicious liquid, and a candlestick." Yu Siqi said: "If I hadn't touched those liquids, I wouldn't have suddenly fallen into this ghost place. ”
"Want to go back?" Pavadi said.
"Is there a way?" Yu Siqi asked.
"Melodica, maybe your wish can be granted." The Pava flute said to the melodica listening to him, "Thanks to him, the entrance has been temporarily opened. ”
"Entrance, what entrance?" Yu Siqi asked curiously.
Pavadi didn't answer Yu Siqi directly, he suddenly looked into the distance and said, "The storm is coming, and we don't have much time. If you have something to say, let's talk as you go. ”
Following the path guided by the melodica, they returned to the reed field, where many of the tall reeds had been trampled on by the soldiers. So it was almost effortless for them to come to the place where Yu Siqi had been lying before, which was bare and empty.
Pavadi, who stopped, said, "Yes, this is indeed a singularity. You've done me a great favor, little one. ”
"Can you explain to me, I really don't understand." Yu Siqi said angrily.
"If I'm not mistaken, the strange sound you're hearing is probably the sound of me talking to the melodica." "We've been wandering around here these days, looking for the legendary singularity, where the entrance is," said Pavadi with a smile. ”
"What do you want to do, don't you?" Yu Siqi guessed roughly.
"That's right, I want to leave this place with the melodica." Pawadi stood there and said, "As you can see, we are not human beings per se, and naturally we are not bound by the so-called life and death. But the ridiculous rules bind us here, and we didn't intend to break them. But you've also seen with your own eyes that something like a 'regime' has now been produced in this ridiculous land, which is very different from the legends I've heard. I don't intend to change the ownership of the land, but I also don't want the melodica to be paid for in such a place through no fault that she has committed. ”
Pavadi's expression was a little excited, and even a little emotional, but Yu Siqi could understand his thoughts. He himself had no affection for the soldiers, and even more hated the so-called verdict.
"Do you want to come back from the dead?" Yu Siqi asked.
"No one can come back from the dead, and not even we can completely break away from this rule." The melodica says, "But we can attach our souls to it by means of certain special objects, and leave the bondage and return to the earth." ”
"Why is that?" Yu Siqi asked.
"Because we don't have any entity like you," said Pavadi, taking off his mask and revealing a male face as dead as ashes, "my body is the vessel for me when I first came here, and this 'lucky' soldier became my vessel." The melodica too, do you think her current appearance is her own? ”
"Sounds a little scary," Yu Siqi has always been a little resistant to this kind of soul possession and the like.
"Don't worry," said the melodica, elegantly, "we are very satisfied with our current body, and we have not had the slightest desire for a weak body like yours." ”
"Thank you so much," Yu Siqi said with a sigh of relief.
"Alright, now we just need to wait here patiently for the owner of the candlestick to use it again." Pavadi sat down on the ground and said, "I hope this time we can wait for this opportunity before the storm comes." ”
"What if you don't wait?" Yu Siqi thought that his life would be alive in less than three hours, and asked worriedly.
"Then we will head to the Isle of Misty, a place where the storm is absolutely unwilling to come and help us get rid of its entanglement for a while. Then we repeat the cycle until the opportunity arises. Pavadi put on his mask and said, "Be patient, little one. Death is not something to be feared, like a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you're like a new life. ”
"I refuse," Yu Siqi said directly, "Actually, I have something to tell you, the current owner of that candlestick seems to be me." ”
"I don't believe it," Melodica denied.
"I have the same idea as the melodica," said Pava slowly, "and the owner of the 'key' fell into the 'keyhole', and the joke is not laughing at all." ”
"I'm serious," Yu Siqi said with some annoyance: "That thing has been staying under my bed, if it weren't for **Sha secretly taking it away, it is estimated that there would not be so much at all." ”
"What do you call this?" Melodica raised an eyebrow and said, "You actually regard this great plan of ours as what you call ''?" ”
"Sorry, the wording is inappropriate." Yu Siqi apologized.
The melodica was still a little curious, and the Pawa Flute said calmly, "There's a way to prove if you're lying, little one." Are you willing to take that risk, and are you willing to pay for your words and actions? ”
"Is this a heavy price?" Yu Siqi asked.
"There are no bones left," the melodica said briefly.
"This"
Yu Siqi was a little speechless, seeing Yu Siqi's performance, Pawa Di did not accuse too much, and he said with a smile on his face: "I am relieved to see that you have not lost your mind for the sake of being quick for a while." Please don't take it too seriously as I just said, that risky approach wasn't my intention. After all, I still have an unfinished 'date' with your teacher. ”
"Are you talking about Father Ann?" Yu Siqi asked.
"That's a funny guy, very few humans can take my clothes and get out of it." "He made me see that humans are amazing creatures, and your presence made me realize that there are countless possibilities in you. Those 'possibilities' that we never had. ”
"I'd like to hear about your method," Yu Siqi said with determination, "It's not a way to drag it now, I don't like to sit still." ”
"It's very simple, the owner of the candlestick once opened up this piece, and it can be said that he is actually the owner of this place." Pavadi's eyes lit up and he said, "And the guardian of this land is the 'Storm' we just mentioned. If it is as you say, then you will naturally have the ability to command the 'storm' as the new owner of the candlestick. Would you like to experience this feeling? ”
"If you fail, you're nothing, right?" Yu Siqi asked.
"Yes, you will be torn to shreds by the angry 'storm'." "And I'm going to flee to the Isle of Mystery with my melodica," said Pavadi, "waiting for the next opportunity." ”
"There is no good result in horizontal and vertical, so it's better to gamble." Yu Siqi said as if he were dead: "There is a saying in my hometown that is good - Bo Yibo, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle." Bet on one bet and lose two hundred and five. ”
"The people of your hometown have a really good sense of humor," said Pavadi contentedly, "and I love that phrase." Then let's set up camp here and make the storm a little more intense. Organ, go collect some firewood, we need to get some food for this 'new master'. ”
"But aren't all my internal organs?" Yu Siqi asked suspiciously.
"As long as the stomach is still there," said Pava Flute meaningfully.
