Chapter 224: Back to Ghost Town
A flock of butterflies emerge from the valley, colorful and colorful. Like rainbows that have been washed away, they regrouped in the air, and then flew away in the distance, turning into a long rainbow in an instant. No matter how much you flutter your wings, you still can't fly out of this valley. The spirits of the mountains whispered to me that it was the parables of the gods that bound them here, not for punishment, but because they were bound by the love of another world, and were destined to wander like this for a lifetime.
In the early morning of the next day, when Tong Fei woke up, she found that her surroundings were empty, and Wu Jia was gone, her brows were furrowed tightly, and she said to herself.
"What. Don't call me to go, where the hell did this guy go? ”
At this time, she remembered Mishima's words, if she encountered any trouble in Luoyun Town, she would go to Fang Fan for help, and Tong Fei dialed Fang Fan's phone.
"Is it Fang Fan?"
"Yes, who?"
"It was Mishima who told me that if I had trouble in Luoyun Town, I would look for you."
"Do you know Mishima?"
Tong Fei told Fang Fan about her encounter with Wu Jia. Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.
"Then come to me. It's just that Wu Jia is not here with me now. ”
"Let's talk when we meet."
It turned out that the broken temple where they stayed last night was not very far from Fang Fan's house, and they didn't have to walk a few steps to get there. Tong Fei knocked on the door, and it was Yuehan who opened the door.
"Is this Fang Fan's house?"
"yes, who are you looking for?"
"Of course I'm looking for Fang Fan."
Yuehan frowned, this little girl spoke quite impulsively.
"Husband, someone is looking for you."
Tong Fei looked at Yuehan and asked.
"You are Fang Fan's wife?"
"He's a blessing."
Yuehan heard the sudden compliment, and her heart burst with joy. After a while, Fang Fan walked out, looked at this girl who was not tall and innocent-looking, and asked.
"You just called me?"
"You are Fang Fan?"
"It's me."
"Mishima asked me to come to you, and he said that you have a way to help Wu Jia."
"What else did he tell you?"
Tong Fei thought for a while and said.
"He also said you're a nice guy who helps people."
"There's no need to say flattery, I want to know what else he said about Wu Jia."
"It's gone."
"You saw him last night?"
"See, we spent the night together in the ruined temple."
Before Fang Fan could speak, someone suddenly said.
"This kid has a good life."
Tong Fei turned around when she heard the sound and saw Zhang Ze munching on an apple while talking leisurely.
"What a good thing, if it was good, he wouldn't have suffered this."
Zhang Ze swallowed the apple in his mouth and said.
"It's not a problem, there will always be a way."
Tong Fei suddenly ran in front of Zhang Ze and asked expectantly.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Ze shook his head and said.
"Nope."
Tong Fei gave him a blank look, and Zhang Ze continued.
"Although I don't have it, Fang Fan does."
Fang Fan also glanced at Zhang Ze, and then said to Tong Fei.
"As long as you can bring Wu Jia back, I have a way."
Tong Fei said happily.
"If it's a deal, I'll go to him."
With that, she ran out of the house. Zhang Ze asked slowly and leisurely as he nibbled on an apple.
"Are you really going to help that kid?"
"Or else?"
"It's so angry to look at his stinky fart, why bother. It's hard for us to take a break, isn't this another matter for ourselves? ”
"Okay, don't complain, I can't stop you from eating."
Zhang Ze spread his hands and said.
"Okay, you're the boss, you can do whatever you want."
", help fetch water."
Zhang Ze saw Fang Fan's mother carrying water to the kitchen, and then shouted at the top of his voice.
"Auntie, I'll come."
As he spoke, he ran towards Fang Fan's mother. After sending Zhang Ze away, Fang Fan fell into contemplation again. Could it be that Wu Jia really has a way to do it after he comes back? It's easier said than done to find the source of life that won't run out. Unless he uses everyone in Zhonghai City as his feed, that's it. But this is not a human thing, Fang Fan's mind is extremely disturbed at this time.
"Are you still worried about Wu Jia's affairs?"
Yuehan asked softly.
"It's okay. That kid's reluctance is exactly the same as mine. ”
"Actually, Zhang Ze's words are not unreasonable."
Fang Fan smiled and said.
"Even if it's for Mishima, you can't ignore this matter."
Tong Fei walked on the street looking for Wu Jia's figure, but he disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world.
"This kid won't go back to Zhonghai City, will he?"
Tong Fei had just finished asking herself, when suddenly two figures walked out of the restaurant in front of them pushing each other. Tong Fei took a closer look, it turned out that there were two people pushing a person out from behind, and the person who was pushed was Wu Jia.
"Go, go, we don't take credit here."
Tong Fei walked over quickly and asked.
"What's going on?"
One of them pointed to Wu Jia and said.
"This kid wants to eat white food."
Hearing this, Tong Fei took Wu Jia's arm and walked inside, saying.
"Who said that we want to eat white food, we have money, he just came here first and waited for me."
"Okay, if you have money, you can do it. Rich is the master. You two, please. ”
Wu Jia suddenly shook off Tong Fei's hand and said.
"I'm not hungry anymore."
"Hey, why are you so awkward."
At this time, the guy next to him interjected.
"Beauty, don't care about him if you don't know what to do, let's do everything here..."
"Shut up, what does our business have to do with you."
The man didn't dare to say any more. Tong Fei pointed at Wu Jia and said.
"Okay, you're here, aren't you? Okay, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it, we'll just consume it. ”
Wu Jia didn't say a word and turned around and left, and Tong Fei followed behind him. On the third day of the day, Tong Fei was already hungry and couldn't walk, but Wu Jia's speed did not change at all.
"Hey, are you a robot? Walk so fast without eating, wait for me. ”
Wu Jia listened to Tong Fei's words for the first time, and he stood in place waiting for her. Tong Fei caught up and said.
"Don't be tough, come with me to see Fang Fan. He said that as long as you go back, there will be a way to save you. ”
Wu Jia shouted with all his might.
"No, I'm not going to beg him in a low voice."
Tong Fei sneered and said.
"It's really backbone. Since you don't plan to beg someone, then what are you doing here, just go back to Zhonghai City and wait for death. ”
As soon as the words came out, Tong Fei regretted it, and sure enough, this sentence stabbed Wu Jia's pain, he grabbed Tong Fei's collar and said.
"I'll warn you one last time, you don't have to worry about my business."
Even in the face of such a bad Wu Jia, Tong Fei's attitude was still tough.
"The hell wants to take care of you. If not, if not..."
Tong Fei swallowed the words in her throat because she sounded Mishima's warning, 'If you like him, don't provoke him'. But now she's just kidding herself.
"Or what?"
"It's none of your business."
Wu Jia let go of her collar and said.
"Let's go. I don't want to see you again. ”
Tong Fei was really angry, she shouted hysterically.
"Let's go, Wu Jia, don't regret it."
With that, she left without looking back. Wu Jia looked at her back as she left, and felt a sense of relief in his heart. Wu Jia is not a robot, how could he not understand what Tong Fei meant, but he can no longer tolerate other people in his heart. At this moment, there was a sudden stabbing pain in his arm, and then his heart suddenly contracted, as if a hand was holding his neck, and the suffocation made him dizzy, and then he fell to the ground heavily. In his confusion, he heard someone calling out to him.
"Wu Jia, Wu Jia."
Wu Jia looked at Tong Fei's anxious expression in a daze, but he didn't have the strength to drive her away again at this time. Tong Fei vigorously lifted the unconscious Wu Jia on his back, although his feet were still drooping on the ground.
"Bastard, you can't die like this, I still have a lot of accounts to settle with you, and I want to return all your grievances to you. Bastard, you give me a life. ”
Tong Fei carried Wu Jia on her back and walked towards Fang Fan's house, she felt that she had a mountain on her back, and she couldn't do it if she wanted to speed up. Pedestrians on the street were watching them, but none of them were willing to lend a helping hand. Knock knock, Tong Fei knocked the door of Fang Fan's house. The moment the door opened, she and Wu Jia fell in together.
"Quick, come and help."
Fang Fan and the others worked together to carry the two of them in. In the evening, Tong Fei woke up first, and she saw Yue Han guarding her.
"What about Wu Jia?"
Yuehan took a bowl of sugar water and said.
"He's fine, Fang Fan and they are all looking at him. Don't worry, you drink this first. ”
Tong Fei took a sip of the sugar water, and then asked.
"What about Wu Jia?"
"Okay, I'll take you."
As the two walked towards Wu Jia's room, Yuehan asked.
"You really like Wu Jia very much."
Tong Fei glanced back at Yuehan in surprise and said.
"You're mistaken. That bastard bullied me a lot, he can't die, if he dies, who will I seek revenge. ”
Yuehan smiled but said nothing. She pushed open the door and saw Fang Fan, Zhang Ze, and Jinqiu all sitting around Wu Jia. Yuehan patted Fang Fan's shoulder and said.
"This little girl can't wait, she has to see Wu Jia to feel at ease."
"I didn't."
Fang Fan smiled and said.
"Wu Jia is fine. In addition to the old problem, it is because of hunger. When he wakes up, it's good to eat something. ”
Tong Fei's hanging heart finally returned to her stomach, and she turned to Fang Fanwen to ask.
"Didn't you say you had a way if I brought him back? It's time for you to make good on your promises. ”
Fang Fan let out a long sigh and said.
"It's a bit dangerous."
"No matter how dangerous it is, I'm not afraid."
Zhang Ze said with a smile.
"Little girl, it's not as simple as you think. But we promise you that we will return Wu Jia to you intact, and you can do whatever you want when the time comes. ”
"You..."
Jinqiu said.
"Alright, let's be serious. Then let's do what Fang Fan said. We go to the ghost town, and you stay to watch the house. ”
Zhang Ze said reluctantly.
"Or I'll go. Let Lin Yu stay, after all, his experience is not as rich as mine. ”
Jinqiu said with a wicked smile.
"Forget it, if you let Wanli know that the purpose of your departure is not pure, we will also suffer with you at that time."
Fang Fan also said.
"That's right, you just stay with Wanli, what is enough for the three of us."
Zhang Ze sighed and said.
"Woe comes from my mouth, why is my broken mouth so worthless."
"You deserve it, who told you to say you went out just to avoid Wanli."
"Who made her so fierce."
As soon as the words fell, Wanli shouted outside.
"Zhang Ze, go back to sleep."
Hearing this, Fang Fan and Jinqiu laughed together. After a moment, Fang Fan said.
"It's not that complicated this time, if we need you at that time, we will send you a call for help as soon as possible."
"It's a deal."
Fang Fan nodded, and then said to Tong Fei.
"Wu Jia will be handed over to you. Wait for us to come back. ”
Fang Fan, Jinqiu, and Lin Yu set off overnight. None of them expected to return to Ghost Town for such a reason. Fang Fan thought for a long time, if there was a soul spring in the world that would not be exhausted, it would be the spiritual source of the ghost town. The Spirit Source gathers all the souls of the ghost town, and the souls there are definitely the most abundant in the world. The only problem now was how to bring the spirit source out of there, and Fang Fan still had a debt there that he hadn't repaid.
In the early hours of the morning, the three of them landed on the island, and the wading village was still the same as half a year ago, because it was no longer inhabited, so there was nothing special except for the dilapidated eyes. Jinqiu looked around and said.
"I guess in a few years, this place will become a part of nature completely."
Fang Fan said.
"No, it won't. Nature will never accept what is human, except human life. ”
The three of them entered the ghost town without thinking, and the cold breath penetrated into their clothes and hit their bones directly. The ghost town is just as dilapidated, and after the victory over the mayor, it fell into a boundless desolation. But this scene is also a bit exaggerated, and the yellow wind and sand bury the ruins deeply.
"What's going on? We used to be the same here as we were outside, how did it come to be like this in such a short period of time? ”
"It may have something to do with Mayor Mare's death."
It's also weird that you can't see a single floating soul on the streets of the ghost town. It was like a catastrophe when Jinqiu suddenly noticed that there was only a decent house in the distance. He said.
"Look over there, let's go there and see, maybe there's going to be something there."
With that, the three of them walked there, and the wind and sand along the way blocked their progress like strong hands, and every step was extremely laborious. After about a few hours, the three of them finally stood in front of the door of the house. Jinqiu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door suddenly opened from the inside, but there was nothing inside. The three of them walked in suspiciously, and this courtyard seemed to be familiar. This was the courtyard where the mayor was at that time, and the inside of the courtyard was completely different from the outside. The courtyard is full of greenery, and you can see koi fish in the pond under the small bridge.
"What the hell is this? It's just the same as the outside. ”
As soon as the words fell, an ethereal voice appeared.
"Fang Fan, you're finally here."
Fang Fan frowned, he didn't respond. Jinqiu said.
"Who? Who's where? ”
The ethereal voice continued.
"I didn't expect you to bring me a gift, thank you."
At this moment, the door of the house in front of them suddenly opened, and the three of them cautiously entered, the door behind them slamming shut. The empty dark room was lit up with blue candlelight, one after the other, extending from the doorway to the sides of the seats at the end.
There was a man sitting in his seat, and there seemed to be something hiding beside him in the darkness, from which occasionally the sound of chains swaying.
"Fang Fan, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Fang Fan looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize who the person who spoke was, and asked.
"Who are you?"
"People? I haven't been for a long time. But why is your memory so bad? Have you also forgotten that Mo Zhu asked you to take care of me? ”
Fang Fan's eyes widened as he looked at the gloomy man in the seat, and he said after a long time.
"Are you empty?"
"It seems that you are not old foolish. It is not in vain that Mo Zhu saved you with his most precious thing at the last moment. ”
"Sora, how did you end up like this?"
"What is that? I'm not the same child as before, can't you get used to it? Do you think I'm more likely to be deceived like that? ”
"No, I didn't mean that. And I don't mean to lie to you. ”
"Shut up. If it weren't for the spiritual source, would you come back? ”
Fang Fan was taken aback and asked.
"How do you know we're here for the Spiritual Source?"
"Ever since you were gone, I have been watching you, watching you destroy the cobbler's plans, watching you cry and laughing. But I didn't see anyone planning to come back to pick me up. Luckily, I arranged my retreat not long after you left, and I'm here to introduce you to an old friend. ”
With that, the blue candle flame gathered into the dim place around the empty side. I saw a person tied to him in chains, and if a person with poor eyesight looked at him like this, he would definitely think it was a skeleton. Fang Fan looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize what kind of person this was, and asked.
"What is this?"
"What? Can't even recognize your old friend? ”
Fang Fan had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said.
"This, this is the mayor?"
"That's right, this is the mayor you defeated. But to be honest, his soul power is indeed several times stronger than that of ordinary souls, and not only do I rely on his soul to grow, but his soul can even continue to maintain the immortality of the entire ghost town. ”
Fang Fan finally understood the reason why the ghost town was full of yellow sand, it turned out that the crux of the problem was in the gradually weakening mayor. Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.
"Since you know everything, then I won't say secret words. I really came for the spiritual source this time, and I need the power of the spiritual source. ”
Sora suddenly laughed and said.
"Fang Fan, you don't really think that the whole world is revolving around you, do you? Don't rely too much on your protagonist aura, no one can take the spirit source from me. Not even if it's you. ”
With that, the blue candle flame in the room suddenly rose two feet high, and the hideous face of the empty roared in the candle flame. Fang Fan and the three of them all covered their ears and ran out, but the door was tightly closed at this time.
"Don't even think about going anywhere. Forget it if you left me to fend for myself, and now you still have the idea of Lingyuan, why didn't you just kill me in the first place. ”
Fang Fan hid behind the pillar and shouted.
"Sora, even if we take away the spiritual source, it won't have any effect on you. Even if the ghost town is gone, you can go with us, and I will definitely take care of you all the time as I promised Mo Zhu. ”
Hearing this, the anger of the void rose to another level.
"Cocky guy, I don't need your care at all."
As soon as the words fell, the furnishings around Fang Fan were beaten to pieces. He didn't expect that Sora would have such power, it must be the spiritual source that turned him into this.
"Fang Fan, what should I do?"
Jinqiu and Lin Yu hid aside and shouted loudly.
"Just don't do it and kill him. It's endless to spend like this with him. ”
"No, I've missed it once, and I can't have a second time, otherwise I'm sorry Mo Zhu. Lin Yu thought of a way. ”
Suddenly, Lin Yu's whole body flashed with golden light, as if a Buddha had appeared. At this time, he screamed loudly, and he seemed to be afraid to look at the golden light on Lin Yu's body.
"It worked, Lin Yu worked harder."
Suddenly, Lin Yu recited the difficult mantra and walked towards the air step by step. With each step he took closer, Sora took a step back. Although Sora was afraid of his mantra, Sora's momentum did not diminish in the slightest, and he was waiting for an opportunity to fight back.
"Lin Yu, come on."
"No, if you work hard, he'll be gone."
Just as Lin Yu was speaking, Kong found the right opportunity. Immediately afterwards, a roar shook Lin Yu away, and Lin Yu slammed into the wall. Jinqiu ran over quickly.
"Lin Yu, how are you?"
"It's okay, he's so strong. But I could feel his pain, as if he was forced to do so. ”
After the roar, Sora suddenly fell to his knees. Fang Fan said when he saw this.
"Was he forced?"
Lin Yu slowly stood up and said.
"This power of his does not belong to him, and he is under extremely great pressure, and there must be someone behind him manipulating Sora."
Fang Fan let down all his guards, strode over into the air, and asked.
"Sora, you're honest, is someone forcing you to do this?"
Kongyi pushed Fang Fan away and said.
"It's me, it's me who did it voluntarily. No one can control me anymore. ”
The momentum of the empty rose again, and the mayor who was tied up at this time also let out a terrible wail. Fang Fan dodged sideways from the empty body, and then ran to the mayor's side and asked.
"Did you turn Sora into your puppet?"
Fang Fan shook the mayor violently, his eyes no longer lustre, and his gray eyes were like a wave of stagnant water. Fang Fan pulled out the Luo blade and cut off the iron chain on his body, and then picked up the town mayor and shouted.
"Withdraw."
The red Luo Blade slashed at the wall and slashed hard, and then the wall cracked like an explosion, and Jin Qiu and Lin Yu jumped out behind Fang Fan. They could still hear the roar of the air after they were gone.
The three of them led the mayor to a secluded place, and the mayor was no different from a corpse at this time, Jinqiu asked.
"Fang Fan, what are you bringing him out for?"
"I feel that the change in Sora has something to do with the mayor."
"Of course it matters, I just said that he is growing up with the last soul of the mayor."
"No, I feel like there's a deeper relationship. There should be a medium of connection between them, and if this medium is broken, it should be possible to liberate voidness. ”
"But he can't sue you now, can he?"
Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.
"Lin Yu, you should have something to do, right?"
"There is indeed a trick in the Shingon Monk that is the soul restoration technique, but it requires the soul of the deceased to survive, I don't know if it can work for him like this."
"Let's give it a try."
Lin Yu nodded, only to see a golden light coming out of his palm, and then a rune array spell appeared, and a blue spiritual flame kept hovering on it. Lin Yu recited the mantra in his mouth, and then pressed his palm on the mayor's forehead, and the golden light spread from the mayor's forehead to his whole body, and his eyes also followed the golden light.
