Chapter 331: Hell
What I didn't expect was that Forty-Nine was actually part of the inner city. But only some, not all. From his words, it is clear that he himself is controlled by another force in the inner city. And that power seems to be some kind of living being......
The living form is closely related to the existence of this world, and this world has two parts, real and unreal, just like the physical and spiritual world of a certain person. When there is a problem in the spiritual world, the entity will be affected and weakened, and then it will be an opportunity to destroy the whole world.
And the snake human-eyed brother and sister are the key to destroying that lifeform.
The specific relationship between the three is unknown for the time being, but according to Forty-Nine, the reason why the purebred snake man had the opportunity to go from the inner city to the outer city was because of his deliberate release of water.
ββ¦β¦ Opening the spiritual world of the eye hole will make the ontological spirit of this world chaotic, and the control over me will also be slightly relaxed. At that time, if I kill the lord of the city and trigger the mechanism of the outer city, I will have the opportunity to control the opening of the gate of the inner city, and even be able to send you directly to the true master of the inner city. That's a ...... It's a place I've never been to either. β
Speaking of which, Forty-Nine's huge body slowly descended in mid-air, he had no eyes, but it seemed to be looking at me, "I don't want to be trapped here for the rest of my life, to be a victim." My heart, in your body, I can feel that you have a reason to leave here, that there is someone waiting for you outside of this world, that you still have something to do...... And now, it is fate that has arranged that both eyes have fallen into your eye sockets, and you are the most suitable candidate...... Enter that world, let's return to the human ......"
His voice, accompanied by that trembling hum, struck at my soul.
I could clearly feel that this was not a request, but an order that I could not question.
He has a way to kill me.
Although I don't know yet, Forty-Nine has any other abilities besides this heart. But he's quite confident, and I, I don't want to challenge his confidence here.
I turned my gaze to the silent night and looked up at the behemoth again, "I have a question, why have you never been to that place...... Why know that this is the way out of this world. β
"What do you think...... My heart can only predict danger? β
I didn't expect this answer.
"You're not afraid of guessing wrong?"
"I can't go wrong...... And in a way, you and I are the same person, I can sense what is going on in your heart, and you are more desperate than I am to leave this world. β
Recently, the guy who claims to be the same person as me has one more one.
However, the second half of his sentence is right.
I do want to get out of here, but ......
Should I really do this?
This question arose in my mind, a question that shouldn't have arisen in the first place.
"There's another question, these eyes, now only the right eye can be used, how can I use these eyes to kill that guy."
"These eyes are the rules of this world, the cycle of life and death, the cycle repeats, life and death are states, but where there is a state, it is existence...... Therefore, when life and death coincide, it is erased and completely disappeared. The answer lies in the moment when you use the power of your left and right eyes at the same time. But that chance, only once......"
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but it's not hard to use your eyes at the same time. It's just that I've already said that there is something wrong with my left eye. β
"You should have more numbers in your heart than I do."
He didn't answer my question, but he already knew the answer.
It made me really wonder if he really knew what I was thinking. So, I covered my left eye, "Got it." Send me in. β
"Brother, you ......" Jingye worried.
"Don't worry." I stroked her forehead, "Brother promises you that this time he will send you back to the world you came from. β
"But my brother's eyes?"
I tore off the flesh membrane above my left eye.
"You ......"
In fact, I just realized that my eyes were not blind, but my vision was blocked. But I didn't think about it so early, so I tore this layer of flesh off.
Maybe it will help me unexpectedly, but now it seems that I don't need it.
Before leaving, I whispered in Jingye's ear: "Jingye, until my brother returns, you will stay alone." Those two people, no one should believe them. β
"Will they threaten the Silent Night?" Silent Night whispered to me.
"Yes, but as long as you stay here, under the protection of that piece of meat, it should be fine."
"Silent Night Knows ......"
After that, I entered a crack that had opened in front of Forty-Nine. Before entering the rift, Forty-Nine reminded me that the real controller of the inner city was in some sort of self-healing state because of the disturbance of the spirit world, and he would look like an egg, or something. In short, not like an individual. And that's my chance to destroy it, and if the powers of my eyes overlap, I'll destroy it completely.
I was in the cracks, I don't know how long I walked, I just felt that time was here, it seemed to stop and not turn, and I didn't have that down-to-earth feeling, like my body was floating, as if it was fast, and it seemed to be very slow, until a beam of light appeared......
It's really an egg.
Completely different from the previous blood-colored world, it was as holy as if it came from heaven. The fluorescent fall all around, like pieces of angel feathers, it is a milky white oval in it.
I could feel a beating heart in the oval body.
I walked towards it, and the distance between us was getting closer, and my speed was getting faster and faster. In front of it, the heterochromia of my left and right eyes has almost reached the extreme, and the next moment, it is to release their respective abilities.
One timeline goes backwards, and one timeline advances.
One life and one death.
What would it be like then?
The world is collapsing? Fragmented? Like a broken mirror? And I, leaking out of the fragments of this mirror, fell into the world?
Or crawl out of a fissure in the ground with magma and pain?
"Heh......"
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of this.
The discoloration in his eyes also disappeared in an instant.
That's right, I didn't intend to destroy the egg at all.
I want to leave, always, but I want to know one thing, or a reason, other than this. The raison d'Γͺtre of this world.
Only the one in this egg can tell me the answer.
I sat in front of it, quietly waiting for the egg to hatch.
But I waited too long, and I got a little impatient, so I simply turned into a worm and tore the eggshell to shreds with my claws and fangs! A human body gradually appeared in front of me, and his appearance became clearer and clearer......
Finally, I saw the face.
The same face as me.
He opened his eyes and met my eyes.
We didn't have a conversation, but I didn't see the slightest surprise in his eyes, as if everything was as he expected, not the slightest deviation.
"You seem to know I'm going to come here." So I asked.
"Yes."
"Why do you know, who are you? Is it the immortal head in the Yuan Tomb? Or, another Wei Heng? β
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I know why you're here."
"That's right, then tell me why I'm here...... You have to say this, as a reward for saving my life, I almost killed you just now. β
"You're not going to do that." He replied confidently.
"Oh? Why? β
"Because of the reason you have to get out of here."
"Hahaha...... I don't understand it yet, you really have to explain it. β
We sat down face to face.
He was white and glowing, and I, with my right eye, was always more dead than my left. We are two completely opposite individuals, but we are the same person.
Black and white are the same color.
"You know, some people are born unlucky, and some are destined to sacrifice at birth. There are joys and pains in this world, but not everyone has good things. Maybe you don't want to admit it, maybe you don't dare to admit it, but bad luck is always evenly divided. Some fates, tragic as they are, are destined to go this way, because someone has to go. But it is precisely because of this that we can leave the remaining part of happiness in this world. β
I didn't have any interest in his words, and asked directly: "Your words don't mean anything to me, I want to hear the beginning of all stories." β
"Good ......"
He responded, then continued: "Once upon a time there was a man who lived too long, when there was no world, he was in darkness, and only consciousness existed. It was nothing at first, he just didn't know the before and after...... But this concept will become clearer and clearer over time. Then, there was pain. He's lonely, he's scared...... So, I slowly learned to communicate with my own ideas. He imagined another version of himself...... And those themselves, more and more...... He began to think of something else, simple space, to heaven and earth, to the vast universe...... All consciousness, all life, originates from that one thought. That thought will not die, and all the life that arises from him will last forever. So a pain was magnified to countless times. They finally became monsters killing each other...... So that thought finally understood what he had been pursuing for a long time, he wanted an end, but he was reluctant to come to that end. But this end is also a rule, maybe its existence will make this existence more meaningful, and it will make this thing that is not worth cherishing become a treasure. β
"Got it? If I don't understand, I can describe it in another way......"
"This is hell, destroy this place, relatively speaking, the real world, there will be no life and death. Then the world will be full of hell. β
I nodded, "Yes, no pain is forever pain." Hell must exist. Someone has to eat each other, so at least the outside world will be beautiful......"
"You remember what she said to you, right?"
"Hmm......" I nodded, "so how could I break this hell and destroy reality." β
"Then please leave, those who have left reality should not go back."
"No, I'm going back, but not with everyone here. I still have to do something. Otherwise, reality will still be hell. β
