Chapter 36, Second Inference
The terrifying atmosphere dissipated invisibly, and standing beneath the ancient beast, all that could be left in my mind was the feeling of fear and death.
"Am I going to die?"
By this time, the thing's mouth was completely open, and it looked down, and the sticky saliva and the thick blood plasma fell down and smashed on me.
"Damn, how did you die here?" All that came to mind at this time was a replay of the death of the guy before, the kind of body fracture, heart-wrenching pain.
My teeth trembled and creaked, and it was only then that I realized that I could not do anything in the face of death, that I was too small.
I squatted on the ground with my head covered, but a minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, and I was still alive.
In disbelief, he stood up again and raised his head, only to see that the giant beast had already recovered its previous appearance, and was sitting solemnly on the stone platform, like a sculpture.
Everything just now seemed like it only yawned.
"It's not going to eat me?" Doubts in my heart.
I remember that the first time I passed through this place before, this thing was also indifferent, could it be that I didn't meet its appetite?
This is, so why was "that guy" eaten? It's still a long way away, and I deliberately ran into the forest to eat.
I don't understand when I think of this, it's at least nearly 1 hour away from the place where that guy was eaten to the front of the mountain gate, so how did this town mountain beast sense his existence and run over from here to eat him?
Wait...... Wait......
Induction? I was surprised by this sudden word, but it is very likely that this is how things will turn out after thinking about it.
That's right! Could it be that he sensed it and ate him? If that's the case, then the question arises again: why only eat him and not me and the other four people?
Could it be that he is different from us?
In my mind, I separated "that guy" and wanted to rule out the differences between him and us, but after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue, and the only thing that made him different from us was that he was very likely to get out of his own "samsara".
This inference is based on my understanding of mountains.
In my understanding, there are two kinds of reincarnation, the first is the reincarnation after death, such as the same corpse that appears on the river beach, and the second is the reincarnation of a specific time, such as the self I see.
At present, there are 6 people in the 'mountain', a total of three groups, the first group is the scarface of the surveying and mapping bureau who came in 09, and the second group is the guy who stole my box, so I will call him "old bird" (the meaning of the old liar) for the time being. The third one is me. The people of 09 years Scarface are actually caught in the reincarnation of the 'mountain', so ten years have passed, and they haven't gone out yet, and the same is true for the old bird.
So what is the reincarnation of the old bird? It is a place that is the starting point, and it is the starting point that you return to after your own "death". Of course, this is my understanding, because the old bird said that his memory is constantly draining, probably because of death, he does not remember his own death, every time he wakes up is at the original point, so he will repeat his "purpose", this so-called "purpose" is like Scarface they come in to find something.
They have been erased from their memories before they died, and they have retained their original "purpose", so this "purpose" will continue to push them into this endless cycle.
And the reason why the old bird was eaten is that he is very likely to have escaped from his "reincarnation", that is, the death river.
Of course, I don't know why he got out of the previous reincarnation, but I think he remembers some things about his previous things in a scattered way, and it is also because he got out of the reincarnation, so his memory is slowly recovering.
But as the guardian of the "mountain", the Zhenshan Beast would not allow such a person to appear out of "reincarnation", so the old bird was eaten.
As for those foolish people in the Surveying and Mapping Bureau, this terrible cycle is still going on. Their beginnings are probably in the ground of the riverside.
As for me, it's not that I've traveled to the world of '09, but that I, like the other five, have entered an unknown world that is independent of the ordinary.
That is, the "mountain" mentioned by Grandpa, as he said:
"Mountain...... in making them a part of yourself. ”
Because after coming in, you can't get out, if someone gets out of control, it will be like the fat man who died in the forest farm in the heavy snow in 68, in fact, if you think about it, snakes are cold-blooded animals after all, how can there be any snakes in the winter? Presumably, it was the Zhenshan beast in the "mountain" in Gannan that ate the fat man at the beginning.
I pressed my temples, and my head suddenly ached, probably as a side effect of the transition to the brain.
But even so, my inference is not supported by any evidence, and as for the second type of reincarnation that I suspected, I think he should have a time, but this time is also unknown, and I don't know how often this reincarnation will be initiated?
I smiled bitterly, and finally just as I was about to give up, I suddenly slapped my head.
"By the way, didn't this old bird mention a diary?"
According to him, all his memories were written in that diary, so I might be able to find some clues in it.
Thinking that at this time, "Scarface" and "I" were most likely waiting for the dwarf's reply on the cliff not far away, so I simply sat down on the ground with peace of mind, took out the diary in my backpack and flipped it up.
But this diary, which records the memories of the old bird, was found to be wrong when I read about ten pages.
And these places are unusually amazing, and the more you look down, the more terrifying you become.
