Chapter 186: The Corrupt City (Part II)
Liu Mouzheng's answer made Tang Qianlin realize that he was right.
Tang Qianlin said again: "In other words, you have also been to the Shaman Spirit Palace with us in other worlds?" ”
Liu Mouzheng nodded silently.
Finally understood. Tang Qianlin looked directly at Liu Mouzheng: "You actually don't have any prediction ability at all. ”
Liu Mouzheng still nodded.
Tang Qianlin said: "The reason why you know what is about to happen is because you have experienced it in other worlds, and this is the answer." ”
Liu Mouzheng finally replied with one word: "Yes." ”
All of Tang Qianlin's speculations were affirmed by Liu Mouzheng, but he didn't have any sudden realization, on the contrary, a chill filled his body.
Tang Qianlin said: "In the ruins of the Bohai Kingdom under Gongrong Village, we entered a strange space, where, I not only met an old man who had been missing for many years and had been declared dead, but also met a coffin opener Hu Shuntang who claimed to be from another world and was trapped there and could not leave on a so-called Nai He Bridge, his words were very interesting, but there was a sentence that I always remember very clearly, he said that no matter in which world, the course of history will not be changed, even if someone is forced to change, It will also be corrected to return to its original track. ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "It seems that this time is really different from before, maybe I have a chance." ”
"What chance?" Tang Qianlin frowned and said, "You have experienced these things, so you will know what I am going to do, and you will also know that my senior brother Chu Lekang will definitely die." ”
As soon as he said this, Tang Qianlin realized an extremely terrifying thing again, he thought about it carefully, and raised his eyes to look at Liu Mouzheng: "Actually, with that bronze plate and through that door, you can't go to the future and past of our world at all, you can only go to the future and past of other worlds, right?" ”
Liu Mouzheng nodded: "Yes, that's the case. ”
Tang Qianlin asked again: "You said, except for the four of us, everyone else will die, in other worlds, how did they all die?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "I don't think you still need to know." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "What? You still want to surprise me with their deaths? ”
Liu Mouzheng looked out the window and looked at the lantern hanging in the air: "Master Yefeng and Li Qingxiang's predecessors, including Xiao Wan, their deaths are the same as what you saw before, some people simply ended themselves when they passed through Mirror City, because they couldn't stand the destruction of their demons. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "What about the others? What about Enron? What about summer frost? What about He Chenxue and Zicheng? And how did they die? Didn't you save them? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "I can't do anything, and I tried several times. ”
Tang Qianlin walked up to Liu Mouzheng: "How many times?" Are you saying that you have entered the Shamanic Spirit House more than once, and have experienced these things more than once? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "That's right, that's right. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Why?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "I want to go back to the world where I was originally located, that's all, but the hope seems to be very slim, so this is my last chance, and this opportunity may be the beginning of your continuous exploration." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "What do you want to say?" You still have something to hide from me. ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Now is not the time, if I tell you the truth now, we will all die here, then everything is over, there is no room for recovery." ”
At this moment, the voice of the high priest came from the lantern again: "It is very difficult to erase a person's memory, so it can only be self-destructive. The reason why those who are only in your memories here will be embodied and will attack you is because of your own sins, and the only way for you to get through this is to find the person who is most guilty and let him sacrifice himself. ”
When they heard what the high priest said, they looked at each other and understood what he meant.
Upstairs, Liu Mouzheng said: "Let's solve the current crisis first, and when the right opportunity comes, I will naturally tell you what's going on." ”
Tang Qianlin stopped Liu Mouzheng: "No! You have to make it clear now. ”
Liu Mouzheng shook his head: "I can only tell you that everything I am doing now is to save these people and keep them alive, and to achieve this goal, you and I must join forces, do you understand?" ”
After Liu Mouzheng finished speaking, Tang Qianlin had to go downstairs after thinking about it, but his mind was still full of countless questions, what was going on with all this?
Ye Da walked towards Tang Qianlin: "Did you hear the words of the high priest?" ”
Tang Qianlin was just about to say something, Liu Mouzheng said: "The meaning of his words is very simple, he wants to tell us that the resentment and obsession of someone here are too deep, and his obsession concretizes the memories in his mind, and it becomes these things that are not human or ghost attack us, as long as this person is gone and dead, then we will be saved." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Tang Qianlin suddenly said, "Take back all your thoughts!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Qianlin together, Tang Qianlin said: "I know what you are thinking, you are thinking, find that person, throw him out, let him die, and then save yourself, right?" ”
Undoubtedly, most people have this thought in their minds before.
Tang Qianlin said: "Have you ever thought about it, what if you sacrifice the first person and the crisis still exists?" When the time comes, we will have to sacrifice the second, then the third, and the fourth, until we are all dead. ”
An Ran said: "Qianlin, you mean that the high priest set a trap for us?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Think about it carefully, that high priest said that the person who once created this place was to make it impossible for everyone, including himself, to come to this fourth layer, which is why so many obstacles have been set up here, since even the so-called 'god' can't get through here safely, then the guy who is the high priest, he can't either, maybe he can control everything on the upper layer, but here, he is just an ordinary person." ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "What do you want to say?" ”
Tang Qianlin pointed to the door: "You said before in Mirror City that your own demons will be reflected there, and this may be what Mirror City will look like after concretization, indeed, we have also seen it, and there are a lot of memories about us that are shown here, but in addition to our memories, where did those messy people come from?" ”
Tang Qianlin, Liu Mouzheng, and He Chenxue only saw the memories of being in the back alley that year; What Ye Da and Xia Shuang saw was the Yi family mansion and the Xia family mansion many years ago; What Li Yunfan saw was the Security Bureau Training School in Xinjing Puppet Manchuria, so there were only four people left: Tang Yushi, Praruo Nissen, Jin Gusi, and Tang Zicheng.
Tang Qianlin said again: "Yushi and Praruo Nissen are not people who belong to this world, they are just accidental products, they don't have any memories, and they don't have demons to haunt them, excluding them, Zicheng is left, Zicheng is just a child, where does he get so many messy memories?" ”
He Chenxue asked tentatively: "Could it be that when you took him to walk the rivers and lakes for those years, he hid a lot of bad memories in his heart?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head and said: "I didn't walk the rivers and lakes with Zicheng, I was just looking for you, I didn't let Zicheng suffer from hunger, lack of warm clothes, and poor sleep, I fulfilled my responsibility as a father, I can guarantee that I didn't let the child's soul suffer any trauma, so it will definitely not be him." ”
Li Yunfan said: "Who could that be?" ”
Tang Qianlin pointed upwards with his finger: "I just said, even if that so-called god comes here, he will lose his strength, let alone that high priest." ”
Liu Mouzheng immediately said: "Yes, excluding everything, only he is left, which is why he hid in that lantern." ”
"Lanterns?" Ye Da was puzzled, "What lantern?" ”
After Tang Qianlin told Ye Da that the voice of the high priest came from the lantern, everyone understood.
Walking up to the top of the building, standing by the window and looking at the lantern in mid-air, no one had an idea, how could they go up to such a high place, and they didn't have wings?
Tang Qianlin said: "That high priest doesn't have wings, he doesn't have the so-called divine power, and he can't fly, how did he get there?" ”
Li Yunfan said: "Yes, if he can go up, we can also go up." ”
Xia Shuang asked, "But, how do you go up?" Let's think of another way to break out of here, it's not far from the city gate anyway. ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Impossible, think about it, what is the purpose of the creator to create the fourth layer?" It was to keep people from approaching the door, so the high priest was right, there was no other way but to sacrifice the person who embodied the memory, and when I came before, I didn't encounter this because I didn't walk with the high priest. ”
Ye Da asked: "You have been saying that you have been here before, when did it be?" You don't make it clear, just say it and let us refer to it. ”
Liu Mouzheng didn't answer, just glanced at Tang Qianlin.
Tang Qianlin said: "Let's talk about this later, now our main purpose is to go up to that lantern and find that high priest." ”
Ye Da said: "To put it simply, we don't have weapons, we don't have tools, it becomes difficult to eat and drink, and if we stay for another day or two, even if we don't starve, we will die of thirst." ”
Xia Shuang said: "That's why before we came down, the high priest wanted to take all our things away, he didn't want to come down with us at all, but wanted to lead us to the bureau he set up. ”
"Weapons, tools......" Tang Qianlin stood at the window and looked out, "If this is concretized by our memories, then in our memories, maybe we can also find these things, right?" ”
Everyone looked at Tang Qianlin and didn't quite understand what he meant.
Tang Qianlin turned around and explained, "You think, the people, buildings, and objects we saw before that were concretized are exactly the same as the real ones, right? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, except for the people here, and the 'we' who are embodied by memories here are faceless people. ”
Tang Qianlin asked Li Yunfan: "Yunfan, when you were in the Xinjing Security Bureau Training School, did you have any weapons there?" ”
Li Yunfan said: "Of course there is, there is an arsenal in the basement there, but there are no heavy weapons, basically all of them are small weapons such as pistols and rifles. ”
"Follow me!" Tang Qianlin took Li Yunfan and ran cautiously to the top of the building, and then asked, "Where is the building in your memories that you saw earlier?" ”
Li Yunfan searched around, then raised his hand and pointed in a direction and said, "...... there"
