"Hey......" The old man drank the water in the cup, sighed, and his eyes became much more complicated. He looked at me and was silent for a long time, and then spoke again after a minute, "I didn't expect that I would really wait for ......"

"You must be curious as to why I know this, and you must have a lot of doubts to ask me, and it is precisely because of seeing you that I have dragged this sick body to survive until now."

Indeed, as he said, I desperately want to know who this old man is and what he knows, what this world is, why there are reincarnated, and how can I save Xue'er...... There are so many puzzles that need an answer that I can't find on my own.

"You're a robotic body, you can't speak, right-handed?"

I nodded.

"Come, stretch out your right hand." I stretched out my right hand, and I saw him take a pen from the table next to me, and then a metal ring and a thin wire, and tie the pen to my right index finger in three or two clicks, and then bring a blank piece of paper and put it on the table.

"That's all I can think of." As he spoke, the old man pointed to the corner of the counter, "Although I don't know if the robot will feel tired, but it's okay to sit for a while after standing for so long, my old bones are really not good, and I have to trouble you to move it yourself." ”

I nodded again, walked to the counter in three or two steps, moved the chair across from the old man, and sat down like that.

"As you might guess, I'm a reincarnated being, but I came here relatively early, about thirty years ago."

I hesitated, raised my hand and wrote on the paper, "Why did you come here, and did you have any difficult wishes?" ”

The old man smiled, "I think this is the case with all the reincarnated people who come here. ”

"All reincarnated?" Thinking of the purple robots and Bars I encountered before, isn't it just us who have come to this world to reincarnate?

"The world of Tisbor, at least that's what I call it here, you must have wondered why there are still royal cities and other cities in this world, but they will be resurrected here."

I nodded, indeed, I've always had doubts about it, but I just hadn't thought about it.

The old man shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know why, I also woke up in Tisbor, and I seemed to be a dying addict at that time, so I just woke up to fight the ravages of drugs." Then I met a man who helped me get rid of my addiction in a special way, and told me that he was a reincarnated like me, waiting in this world for the next reincarnated person. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably the seventh person I know to be reincarnated here. ”

Every word, even every word, of the old man shook my soul. Although I also considered that there might be more than me and the two robots in the reincarnation, I really didn't expect that there were so many, and they all knew each other according to the old man.

"What the hell is going on, could it be that all the reincarnated ones will come to Tisball City?" I wrote on paper.

"At least every reincarnation I know will come to this city, I don't know the real reason, but there have been some speculations, I have discussed this with the benefactor who saved me, and we found that as reincarnateds, we all have a characteristic, that is, our memories are incomplete, but we remember the purpose of coming here, in general, we came to the world of Tisbor, all to fulfill one of our wishes."

"So we guessed that the key to achieving this goal might be in Tisball City, but we didn't have any information, so I went to the library to find a lot of information, and finally found that only the dragons in the Black Dead Realm were the most suspicious."

That's what I thought at the beginning, but ...... Thinking of the past two lives, my eyes involuntarily dimmed.

"In order to get more information, I joined the army, and every day I recorded the information I got in the form of notes, everything is going on steadily, and my understanding of the world is getting more and more full, but after all, there is a layer of fog shrouded in the truth. From what I've looked up, many clues point to the dragon, but I didn't know where the key dragon lair was until thirty years ago. ”

"It's the war, and sure enough, you're the author of that notebook." As I spoke, I took the fragment of the second half of the notebook from the side and handed it to the old man.

The old man smiled bitterly, "This note is indeed me, but the things recorded in it...... It's true, but it's not the truth. After another pause, the old man continued, "It seems that you are not the first life anymore, you must have read the contents of this notebook, and if it has brought you any unfortunate past, please forgive me." As he spoke, the old man of the antiquarian bookstore stood up tremblingly and wanted to salute me.

Seeing this, I hurriedly got up and hugged him, helped him to sit down again.

"No, if I didn't have your notes, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to see you know about this." This sentence is not polite, it is from the heart. Although I once misunderstood the truth of this world because of this notebook, abandoned all morality and humanity, and went to the dragon's lair twice but ended up dying, in the final analysis, it was I who caused all this, if I had discovered the difference between the record in the notebook and the actual situation earlier, I might not have had those previous things.

"I headed to the Dragon's Lair after I took this note, and I came across the huge guardian dragon, but I used the equipment I had with me to get out of the way with it, and finally used the terrain to lure it away." The old man sighed, a look of pain in his eyes, and it was clear that what he was going to say next was definitely not a good thing.

"When I looked at those two crystals and saw the faint glow they emitted, I really thought that it was the wish-granting machine I was looking for, but when I actually came into contact with them, I realized that I was wrong."

"Those two crystals are not wish-granting machines at all, and when I came into contact with them, I was eroded by extremely large negative emotions, causing irreparable damage to my soul, and even many functions of my body were degraded."

It's the same when I first came into contact with those two crystals, but maybe because I'm a robot, so I don't have a big deal physically......

"It was also at this time that the dragon returned, and I felt that I couldn't die like this, so I dragged this body and ran away desperately, but how could I escape from the pursuit of the monster? One of my arms was ripped off like that...... Ahem! ”

Before he finished speaking, the old man began to cough violently again, and I quickly poured out another glass of water from the bottle on the table, patted the old man on the back, and handed it to him.

After a few deep breaths, the old man waved his hand at me and told me that he was fine.

"Let me finish, I probably won't last much longer." As he spoke, he sat up straight again and continued, "I thought I was going to die, but the next scene shocked me and saved my life. The moment before the dragon was about to swallow me, it disappeared into thin air, turning into a cloud of white mist and melting into the two crystals, but at that time, I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly got up and ran the way it came. ”

It turns out that this is the case, so it seems that those flying dragons are probably all part of the crystal, or those two crystals are the body of the dragon species, which can explain why there are many flying dragons in the dragon's lair, but there is no trace at all.

It's a horrible thing, but I don't feel much about it anymore, and since I came to this world, I've experienced almost all of them beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and if I say it, I don't think many people will believe it, so I guess I won't be surprised if I hear anything again.

"Just like that, walking in the slow yellow sand, the food is empty, the water is drunk, I support myself by standing, I can't just fall like this, my wish is no longer fulfilled, my body doesn't allow me to take any more risks, but I can't let the next person who comes here end up in the same miserable situation as me, so I must live."

"I don't know how long I walked, until one day, I finally saw Tisball in the yellow sand, I dragged my body towards it, but finally I couldn't hold it anymore and fell into the desert, and when I woke up again, I was already lying in the army bed, my legs had been eroded and rotted according to the doctor, and I had to amputate them, so I replaced them with a pair of prosthetic limbs."

"Later, when the war ended, I retired from the army, and the benefactor who had saved my life also died because of my old age, and I had no financial resources to do some odd jobs, and because of an accident that caused the destruction of a mechanical leg, I finally opened an antique bookstore here to make a living."

I don't know whether to comfort the old man, he's been through so much, and the pain I've endured is nothing compared to him.

At this time, my feelings were complicated, and I sympathized with what he had experienced, such an old man with a tragic fate did not die in the end, but endured pain and wanted to tell the next reincarnated person about his experience, so that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now that I think back to what I have done, I feel unspeakably guilty.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to this world?"

"For the sake of my love, she was all I had in my life, but she passed away in a car accident." Speaking of sadness, I unconsciously lowered my head.
