Wan Peng smiled: "Do you think I look like a long-lived person?" ”

"This? I don't know, I don't know how to look. I said.

Wan Peng said: "I know you can't look at your face, but even if you do, I don't know how long I can live." ”

"Isn't that normal? No one knows how long they will live. I said.

Wan Peng leaned on the seat, looked at the night view of the city outside, and said with a slight sigh: "Maybe the days have been too stable in the past few years, and the stability makes me feel unreal, I always feel that the happiness in front of me may burst like a soap bubble at any time."

Those who have great power will inevitably face great calamities, although I could have lived an ordinary life, but from the moment I entered the thief's house instead of you, everything about me has changed. ”

"Enter the thief's house instead of me? What does this mean, was it I who was chosen to be the Thief of Life in the first place? I was surprised.

Wan Peng nodded: "It's really you."

The training process of the Lifestealer Boy is not what you can imagine, and the long-term overload of training also requires facing countless emergencies at any time, so that the mortality rate of the Lifestealer Boy is very high.

That year, there were a total of 50 people who started training together, but when I actually left the school, I was the only one left, and there were all kinds of deaths, each of which you don't want to hear about. ”

I didn't dare to interject, so I listened quietly.

Wan Peng continued: "In order to hug the thigh of the thief family and get into a relationship with the thief, the city god of the lotus pond will select nine six-year-old boys who are very good in all aspects from his own territory every year, and let the thief's family take it away, which can be regarded as a gift to the thief's family.

But you don't have to worry about them having frequent missing people, because they were sent by the hands of the city god, and in the yang world, they all died normally. ”

At this time, Brother Yao interjected: "Then whether this life-stealing boy is a human or a ghost, if he has already died once in the yang world, then is it possible that the thieves took away all ghosts?"

, you are also a life-stealing boy, you won't know each other for so long, you haven't told me, you're actually a ghost. ”

Wan Peng praised Brother Yao with a smile: "You have such a rich imagination, but unfortunately, you didn't guess the idea." Then Wan Peng continued, "Lord Chenghuang is in charge of the yin and yang of the entire Lotus Pond Mansion, and it is very easy to fake his death, just like getting a fake ID card, the fake certificate issued by Ye Luzi must not stand up to scrutiny, but the fake certificate given by the official is true, which is equivalent to a person having two legal identities at the same time."

The same is true of Chenghuang's fake death, this person in the yang world has indeed died once, and he is really dead in front of everyone, but because this is arranged by Chenghuang Ye himself, so here in this person, it is a fake death.

As for how to operate it, this is the secret of Lord Chenghuang, and people won't tell me, anyway, that's what it means.

Yan Hui's ability to help Yuanguang Nu get out of disaster is not a secret to Chenghuang Ye, since the day Yan Hui was born, Chenghuang Ye did not wait to see him, and pondered how to kill him all day long, but he had people to harm and someone to protect, and Chenghuang tossed for several years, but he also failed to kill him.

Yan Hui, do you remember when you were a child and dreamed of a very scary rag doll? If it weren't for the fact that your yin and yang eyes had already been sealed by Old Man Zhao, the scene you saw at that time would definitely be tens of thousands of times more terrifying than that, and a child a few years old would definitely be no problem to be scared to death directly. ”

I was told by Wan Peng to straighten my neck, no wonder that nightmare made me feel so terrifying, it turned out that someone was planning to scare me to death.

Wan Peng continued: "Chenghuang was tired of tossing for a few years, so he thought of a ruthless trick, and directly gave your eight characters to Black Umbrella, and told Black Umbrella that you are also one of the nine life-stealing boys he selected."

You are so talented, and there is a heaven and earth lock in your body, the black umbrella is naturally happy, but the city god is not to let the black umbrella cultivate you, what he likes is the high mortality rate of the life-stealing boy, the life-stealing boy can live to be a teacher, less than one in a hundred, after you go, you will serve the thief for a few years, and it is estimated that you will die, and then the soul will be detained in a certain old grave pit, and it will slowly be tortured into a remnant soul, and he will not have to worry that you will let go of the Yuanguang girl. ”

I complained: "It seems that my bullshit world lock is not very awesome, and it should be hung up." ”

Wan Peng said: "The life of the lock of heaven and earth lies in the lock, it is just that it is not born or destroyed, although your soul will not dissipate, but in what state it exists, it is not necessarily." If you don't have any other abilities, relying only on an eternal heaven and earth lock, maybe one day you will be like Prometheus? ”

This is indeed very reasonable, eternal life is equivalent to a physical attribute of mine, and it does not have any tendencies in itself, and the key depends on how to use it.

It may be that immortality is indeed the pursuit of some people, but it can also be the punishment of some people. The emperor is immortal and is a permanent emperor, but the prisoner is immortal, and may also be a permanent prisoner.

Just like in Greek mythology, Prometheus, who deceived Zeus, was painfully pecked by vultures every day on his liver, but the next day, a new liver would grow again, and the torture would never end.

There is also the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, the cursed immortal skeleton soldiers, and the ghost army cursed by Essidor in The Lord of the Rings. For these people, eternal life is a punishment, and being destroyed is liberation.

If one day, I become that virtue, my God, I can't even think about it, it's terrifying.

At this time, Brother Yao asked curiously, "What else does this say?" In that case, although the Lifestealer Boy is trained in batches, it is actually quite rare. ”

Wan Peng smiled: "Of course, have you ever seen other life-stealing boys?" ”

Brother Yao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, you are such an awesome character, I can see one, it is already a blessing for three lives." However, how many have survived on the earth now, so it's convenient to reveal? ”

Wan Peng said: "Most of them are still in training, and their cultivation is high and low, and not everyone is awesome.

And I'm not stealing now, and I can't give you a specific number, but after graduation, there should be two more than me, one is thirteen years old, and the other is fourteen years old, anyway, the two of them were still alive some time ago, and now I'm not sure.

I am the only one now, and the only one who has lived to adulthood in the hundreds of years that the thieves have trained the life-stealing boys. In fact, just by listening to the name, you know, boy, what they want is just a child, and they don't plan to let these children grow up to adulthood, and it is a complete accident that I can live until now.

So now there is a wave of people in the thief who think that I am a demon and should not exist at all, but fortunately, this wave of people has been almost wiped out by Lord Black Umbrella, and I have been working happily with Lord Black Umbrella, so they don't dare to fart. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Peng also glanced at me and said, "Now you know, why did Lord Chenghuang let you be a life-stealing boy, right?" The Lady of the Round Pipe needs to be an adult at the age of eighteen before she can borrow your life to escape the disaster, but the Boy is doomed to die and has never been able to escape from the thieves. As long as you go to the thief's house, then the Yuanguang girl is hopeless to get out.

Yuanguang Nu is so smart, naturally she can't watch you go to the thief house to die, so he teamed up with Old Man Zhao to use a substitute means to replace you with another boy, when the city god found out, the boy had been taken away by the black umbrella, and the city god stared dryly, no move. ”

I said, "Is that boy you?" Then aren't you tantamount to being framed by Yuanguang Nu and Master Zhao, and you are going to die for me, don't you hate the three of us? ”

Wan Peng said: "What do you think? If this Yuanguang girl hadn't offended me, I wouldn't have given her to the black umbrella, her grievances and grievances with the black umbrella have nothing to do with me, I negotiated terms with the thief's family, and I don't have to use her as a bargaining chip, this is regarded as the price of her pit me back then.

No matter what happened to me, she planned to send me to death anyway, even if she didn't hurt me objectively, but subjectively doing evil, and still having no repentance, it is also unforgivable. ”

Later, I didn't dare to ask, he had already solved the Yuanguang Girl, the Yuanguang Girl was at the black umbrella, naturally it was impossible to have a too pleasant time, so the next one, is it up to me.

Brother Yao said curiously: "It seems that you are still a very generous god, and the old man surnamed Zhao is also a trick on you, and you are still thinking about giving him a pension and sending him to the end of his life." ”

Wan Peng said: "It's not that I didn't want to kill him, when I was twelve years old, the first time I went to look for him, it was to take his life, but I saw the tablet of my parents enshrined in his room.

I was six years old when I was taken away by my family, and I can already remember many things, my parents were both adventurers, and they were also polar expeditions, and they didn't have time to know that I was taken away by the thief's family, and I had died in the ice and snow because of a heavy snowstorm.

Through various relationships, Master Zhao knew that my parents had not returned from the expedition, and knew that they would probably not come back alive.

It was precisely because of his offerings that the souls of my parents who were trapped on the iceberg did not dissipate, and I later had the opportunity to send them to the dead.

Later, Master Zhao sent me to school again, took care of me in various ways, and treated me as his own son, not to mention that he couldn't be blamed for everything that happened back then, and that's it. ”

Brother Yao asked again: "What about this Yan Hui?" Don't you think it's annoying to see him with so many things happening? ”

As soon as Brother Yao's words came out, my heart instantly rose to my throat, Wan Peng won't suddenly turn your face and kill me.

Wan Peng looked at me, then lowered his head and smiled, and said: "Well, I'm a little afraid to say this, if you tell a lie, I really don't know what to make up, but if you tell the truth, I'm afraid that you will be so angry that you will smoke directly." ”
