Industry City.

Duan Xu's eyes flickered, and he had returned to Guishou Mountain.

He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, but the other party didn't look at him.

He stood there quietly, his eyes on Yecheng at the foot of the Ghost Head Mountain, and pondered for a long time.

Duan Xu was surprised to find that his body was gradually dissipating.

This kind of dissipation appearance, Duan Xu had seen before, and the man wearing the white mask also dissipated like this.

Little by little, it turns into powder.

Duan Xu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You...... Going to die? ”

He turned his head and looked very calm: "I have no life, how can I talk about death?" ”

"Look."

He pointed to a clear stream outside the cemetery and muttered, "That's what is alive, changing every moment, every moment is unknown and different, fresh and vivid." That is the most primitive pulse of life. ”

Duan Xu was stunned for a moment, and then thought deeply.

At this moment, it was getting late, and the moon was gradually climbing the mountain.

The two of them stood in the cemetery, as if listening to the flowing water.

He's still dissipating, though, he doesn't seem to care.

The moonlight flowed on the dark and silent Mt. Guishou, and the stream shimmered with silver, as if it were flowing down from the treetops.

It's quiet.

"This reincarnation is the last, and if you can't get time back in flow, both worlds will completely die out after this reincarnation."

He said calmly.

Duan Xu's heart tightened, although he was not a great person, but in this world, there were people he cared about, if he could, he would naturally not let the world die, but ...... Can it really be done?

"You don't know the specifics of the withering project, what can I do?" Duan continued to ask.

He glanced at Duan Xu with a complicated gaze: "Although Li Jingnian did not leave the content and members of the withering plan, the things he arranged for himself after the new life have already been decided. ”

"What is it?"

He responded, "Thirteen knots were found, and on each of them, an unknown creature was depicted. ”

With such an obvious clue, Duan Xu couldn't help but think of the wooden card he got in Huai Village, he didn't hesitate, took out the wooden card, and asked, "Is this it?" ”

He looked at the wooden plaque in surprise, which depicted a strange creature lying on the ground with its limbs covered in barbs.

"I don't know, in Li Jingnian's previous reincarnation, there have been no thirteen knots depicting unknown creatures, which is something that only appeared after the start of the withering project."

Duan Xu frowned and said: "This thing I got from an ancient village, it has a long history, if the wooden plaque only appeared after the withering plan, the time is not right." ”

He smiled: "Even an existence like me that is not human or a ghost can appear, and it is not unimaginable that the knot wrapped in unknown power can travel through time and space, what do you think?" ”

Duan Xu didn't respond to him, but looked down at the wooden plaque in his hand and asked, "What is it?" I could feel the horror of it just by holding it, and my consciousness was warning me not to use it, why ......"

His body had dissipated nearly half, and when he heard Duan Xu's doubts, his voice sped up a little: "In the mission left to me by Li Jingnian, there is also a warning for you. He said...... Unless it is a desperate situation where death is inevitable, you must not use any of the thirteen different knots. ”

"Once you use it, there's no going back."

"What are the consequences?"

Duan Xu held it, although he could feel its horror, but the statement that there was no turning back also made him care a lot.

He looked into Duan Xu's eyes and said word by word: "Your body will change, your soul will rot, your will will collapse, and you will ...... Turn into a ghost. ”

"Once you use it, the whole process is irreversible, so ...... Unless it's already a mortal game, don't use it. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and reminded: "Also, in addition to the thirteen heterogeneous knots, the knots that require sacrifices cannot be used more than once. ”

Duan Xu took out a blood-red doll again and said, "Is this the case?" ”

He froze.

This was the truest expression Duan Xu had seen from his face.

"You seem to ...... More dangerous than Li Jingnian. ”

"Why can't you use it more than once? Does it produce mutations? Duan Xu didn't hear his complaints, and continued to ask.

He shook his head and said, "If the knot that requires the sacrifice is used too many times, the ghost in the knot will become conscious, and then kill you and replace it. ”

Duan Xu suddenly thought that when he was in Huai Village, he summoned the powerful ghost in the knot, and then the ghost turned sideways and glanced at him.

Could it be ...... Is it already generating consciousness?

Duan Xu put it away with a complicated expression.

Why is it that I am full of such dangerous things?

"Well, if you want...... Just try to live. ”

"I don't know how many participants there are in the Blight Project, but ...... As long as you're on the train, you'll always meet those people. They may have been told about the past, just like you are now. Perhaps in the process of growing up, the soul merged with the previous life, either way, at least...... You're not alone. ”

He looked at Duan Xu inexplicably: "You and Li Jingnian have very different personalities, you may have been affected by his remnant soul, but ...... You came to Yecheng under your own name, not Li Jingnian. He's dead...... I deserve to die too, we are the dregs of the previous world, the living dead trapped in a stagnant world, this world...... Whether it withers or blooms again is up to you. ”

His words fell, and a touch of moonlight suddenly disappeared in front of him.

Guishou Mountain became black and swarthy, and a few broken leaves fell with the wind, as light as a remnant butterfly.

Duan Xu raised his head and looked at the dense canopy.

The day and night change, the sun disappears and the moon rises, the wind blows the leaves and falls, and the water murmurs.

The cycles of nature are forever changing.

In this treetop, there is a bright moon leaning by, and the clear light is circulating. There is also a round of sunset leaning over, and the mid-mountain is red.

His body had completely dissipated, but his face was not full of pain, but full of yearning: "Blooming flowers, fruitful fruits, falling leaves...... Death and rebirth drive the world forward. The stagnant, decaying, backwater world, seems beautiful, but in fact it is ugly, continue, come on......"

His last voice also dissipated into the moonlight.

Duan Xu stood in place, silent for a long time.

It's more complicated than he imagined, and it's simpler than he expected.

The withering plan, thirteen alien knots, on the train, I don't know if they are friends or foes.

Am I not alone......

People are subject to change, even those who are also involved in the withering project, and they will gradually change between the long and terrifying trials of life and death.

Duan Xu himself is the same, he is not Li Jingnian.

Compared to the world...... He cares more about the people who put him at ease.

Duan Xu turned around and stepped out of Ghost Head Mountain.

Now that you have embarked on this path, then ...... Let's go and see where this train ends.
