"You say she claims to be your wife in your previous life? Wouldn't it be better to understand, people and ghosts have different paths, if she kept her ghost form, it would be impossible for her to be with you, maybe she didn't want you to worry about not telling you about the difficulties in this, but obviously she knew it herself, otherwise she wouldn't have risked using this spell. ”

I asked the baboon man how he could recover Mengling now, and the baboon man shook his head and said that it was impossible to recover.

"You'd better give up, this woman is already gone."

“…… What the? ”

The baboon man glanced at me, sneered, and said, "The soul condensation technique requires absolute long-term recuperation after it is cast, because at this time you will fall into an extremely vulnerable state, and this woman forcibly terminated the spell before it was successful in order to save your life.

You are rescued, but she is directly scattered, if the soul condensation technique has been completed, it is fine, even if you are seriously injured, as long as there is still a breath, you can be saved with a universal potion, but now it seems impossible. ”

After listening to the baboon man's words, I felt as if I had been hollowed out. After a long time, I asked the baboon man if there was no way to save Mengling?

"Save? What do you save? It's all gone—it means that there is no longer her in this world. Zhang Hang, you give up, this is impossible. ”

After that, the baboon man didn't discuss this with me again, and he handed over the F-class task to me, and I got my fair share, but the third task was not completed yet.

The baboon man told me that he would hurry up and use up Pandora's Box in the near future and complete the third task. After that, he told me some precautions when using Pandora's box, but I didn't listen to a single word.

And when I was about to leave, the baboon man stopped me and said to me as if to warn: "Zhang Hang, don't say that I didn't tell you, Pandora's Box must not be used to resurrect that girl named Mengling." ”

“…… Why, isn't it my freedom to use it? I sneered and said.

"Hehe, yes, it's your freedom, and I don't care what you want to do with it—but remember, I've warned you, don't blame me then."

After that, the baboon man put on his mask again, and didn't bother to look at me.

It was already noon when I got back to the haunted house, but I didn't have the appetite to eat at all. returned to the house, took the Pandora's box in his hand, and kept staring, his mind full of Mengling's things. By the time I came to my senses, it was late at night.

“…… Mengling, have you really left yet? ”

Based on my experience so far, I can't think of a way to get Meng Ling back. For now, it seems that there is only one way to use Pandora's box. However, the baboon man had already warned me in advance.

He's never been a, and the baboon man would make such a formal warning, and he must have a point.

I gently placed Pandora's Box on the bed and slowly opened it. Follow the instructions to open the box first if you want to use it. After that, all you have to do is make a wish, any wish.

If the wish is a wish that can be solidified in Pandora's box, there will be a golden light inside, but if it is a wish that cannot be fulfilled, there will be no movement.

When did it start? I realized that Meng Ling had unconsciously integrated into the bits and pieces of my life. When she woke up in the morning, she would prepare breakfast for me, prepare a new change of clothes for me, and whisper to me before going to sleep to lull me to sleep.

“…… At the very least, there is a value in betting once. "I looked at Pandora's Box and made up my mind. The baboon man must have had his reasons for warning, but this time, I couldn't listen to him again. For Mengling's sake, I had to take a risk.

Meng Ling can save my life regardless of the risk of losing her soul, can't I give everything for her in return?

I took a deep breath and said my wish word by word.

"Pandora's Box, I officially make a wish to you - I hope that Mengling will be resurrected and return to me again."

After a moment of dead silence, I felt a strange vibration begin to sound in the space, but there was no change, and I couldn't help but get a little nervous. At this time, Pandora's box began to glow gradually.

However, this light was not the golden light of the description, but a blood-red light. The blinding blood red flickered in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but wrinkle and squint, reaching out to block the blinding light.

Eventually, the blood light became more and more abundant, and the whole space seemed to become weird, and I felt that my surroundings began to darken, as if I had dived into the deep sea little by little, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

When the blood was gone, everything was calm, but I found myself in a dark place where I couldn't reach my fingers, and, when I looked up, there was a very familiar person standing in front of me.

With a smile on his face and familiar clothes, he was walking towards me with his hands behind his back at the moment, and after keeping a distance of about a meter, he slowly stopped.

"Surprised, isn't it? I was actually surprised. ”

I looked at the person in front of me who was so familiar that I couldn't be more familiar, and the strangeness in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Because, what is standing in front of me is not someone else, but myself—Zhang Hang.

"You ......"

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound, and when I touched my neck a little nervously, Zhang Xuan seemed to see through my thoughts, and raised my hand to signal me to calm down.

"Don't be nervous, I know what you're thinking, can't you make a sound, right? It's okay, it's normal, I'll explain it to you next. ”

With that, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and with a flip of his palm, like a magician, a blood-red crystal was conjured in the blink of an eye. I looked at the crystal for a moment, because I had seen it before—it was a memory crystal.

"Well, this is a memory crystallization, you also used it some time ago, you don't need me to explain more, right? You just made a wish like Pandora's box, hoping that Mengling can come back to you, right? ”

I looked at him quizzically and nodded slowly.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said that if you want to find Meng Ling, although it is a little difficult, it is not the impossible thing that the baboon man said.

"He's just a monster from the underworld, and there's something in this world that he doesn't understand—Zhang Hang, do you know who I am?"

Seeing that I was silent, he smiled softly, walked over and picked up my hand, and then stuffed the memory crystals into my palm.

"You're a hanger...... And I, too, are hanging. It's just that we shouldn't have met because ...... You live in this life, and I am your past life. ”

I was stunned, my eyes widened in the astonishment—I could barely believe my ears.

He looked at me for a long time, then sighed lightly and said, "I know it's hard for you to understand this fact, but you can think about it from a different perspective - Mengling in the previous life can come back to you, why can't I come back?"

In fact, as long as you master the method, everyone can do it, but normally speaking, after the end of a lifetime, everyone will go to the underworld to be reincarnated. ”

Zhang Hang explained to me that this memory crystal contained his own memories, that is, the memories of my past life. He asked me if I remembered Meng Ling telling me that I had to retrieve my memories of my past life, and I nodded and said I remembered.

He said that Meng Ling should have emphasized that the memories of her previous life must be retrieved by her own strength, because this is the safest. But now there is no choice - Meng Ling is gone, and if she wants to be resurrected, she must first retrieve the memories of her previous life as soon as possible.

In this life, Mengling's soul is no longer there, and the only way now is to find Mengling in her previous life, and then awaken her memories in this world, and leave with her and return to this world.

"However, you have to remember that this method has a certain risk, because in my memory, you will forget the memory of the present world, and at the same time, Meng Ling is also in a state of sleep in the memory of the present world, so ......"

At this, there was a hint of hesitation on his face, and he did not continue. I couldn't make a sound, so I asked him in my heart, you can just tell me what the worst ending is.

He nodded slightly, looked me in the eye, and said, "The worst outcome is that if you can't retrieve your memories in this world, then ...... You will most likely remain in this crystallization of memories and will not be able to return to reality. ”

I looked at the red memory crystals in the palm of my hand, and my heart beat harder.

“…… How, would you like to give it a try? It's up to you how to do it, but if you want to ask my opinion...... I don't recommend looking for it. After all, in fact, Mengling didn't belong to this real world in the first place. ”

After a long time, I shook my head and looked at Zhang Hang again, my eyes full of determination. He understood my decision, sighed deeply, and patted me the shoulder.

"Now that you've made up your mind, I'm not going to talk nonsense anymore—after all, I'm probably the only person in this world who can understand how important Meng Ling is to you."

After that, Zhang Hang and I looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent. Zhang Xuan asked me to grasp the memory crystal, and then with a flick of my fingers, I saw something flashing red not far away, similar to a portal or something.

"I don't know what you'll encounter on this trip, and I can't tell you exactly which memory you'll enter, but I hope you remember one thing - to observe, no matter what it is, the more carefully you observe, the better, which will help you get back your memories in this world as soon as possible."

I nodded, thanked Zhang Xuan, and then stepped into the teleportation space with a nervous and uneasy mood. And the moment I entered the portal, I felt as if I had fallen from a high altitude into the ocean.

At the same time, I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I looked back suddenly, I seemed to see the other self just now, with a strange smile on my face. However, that picture is only fleeting, maybe it's just an illusion.

My consciousness soon blurred, like a mindless swim in the dark and cold depths of the ocean.

I don't know how long later, when I woke up again, I saw another self standing in front of me, I was sure it was Zhang Han, but it wasn't me. He was Zhang Hang from his previous life, and he looked much younger than me now.

Gradually, I felt that my consciousness was like the handwriting on the paper that had been erased by an eraser, and it became broken and hazy little by little, and by the end of the day, I could no longer remember who I was.

There is only one concept left in my mind - observation, as closely as possible, only then can I get my memory back. And now all I can observe is Zhang Han.

The space is an empty playground.

The sky was cloudless, and the playground was empty. Standing in the middle of the playground, Zhang Hang couldn't help but feel so. Even if there was a torrential rain pouring down at the moment, Zhang Hang didn't feel like he would get wet. Maybe not a drop of rain will hit him.
