Chapter 171: Willing to Gamble and Lose
It's a big reversal, and that's fun.
It looks like I don't have to be eaten yet, so does that mean the demons who bet that I'll be eaten have collectively lost their bet?
If you lose the bet, you have to destroy your consciousness.
So ...... they?
I raised an eyebrow and squinted at the ghosts.
I saw that the expressions of all the evil spirits were very funny, and after they looked at each other, one of them said:
"We lost?"
"Hmm."
"What then?"
"Willing to lose the bet, brothers, I'll go first, byebye!" After saying that, the ghost closed his eyes, and the raised grimace slowly retracted on the deformed ghost body, although there were still faint traces, but he was really "dead".
"Alas, I am willing to lose the bet." Another ghost extinguishes the lights.
Seeing this scene, the other ghosts sighed one after another, closed their eyes one after another, and after a while, the faces on the deformed ghost body were all hidden.
When I saw this scene, I was actually shocked.
My impression of evil spirits is a negative label, so it is natural for them to refuse to admit their accounts after losing the bet, but I never expected that they would keep their promises, saying that if they extinguish their consciousness, they will extinguish their consciousness, and they will not even struggle for a moment?
Or is it that the devil is cruel to others, and even more cruel to himself?
Some of the grimaces grew on the heads of deformed ghosts, but after the demons closed their eyes and hid their faces, the deformed ghost's face finally barely returned to "normal", and it looked like a giant's face, not as terrifying as before.
The demon smiled at me.
This smile looked very happy, very different from the obscenity that I had when I was used as "food", and it looked very normal, even a little grateful.
Grateful?
Why?
Not only that, but the blood in the demon's own eyes slowly subsided and turned into normal eyes.
The ghost appearance is very good at indicating the state of the evil ghost, and the eyes are bloodshot, indicating that he is running wild and his reason is not online; The blood light receded, that is, he gradually regained his senses, and the influence of the grave rice on him had gradually disappeared.
"You...... Could it be that they heard the gamble of those ghosts, so they deliberately didn't eat me, so that they would destroy their own consciousness? I couldn't help but ask.
The ghost now seems to be able to communicate normally: "Yes." ”
"I thought you weren't in your right mind, and you couldn't hear them at all."
"Yes, I couldn't have heard it." The evil ghost put me down, "I'm different from other ghosts, my brain is chaotic when I die, I don't know what I'm doing, I just feel so hungry, I feel so hungry, if I can't eat, I'll be very angry and irritable, and when my temper becomes bad, I will hurt others, so I become a ghost." ”
No wonder I'm so obsessed with eating.
"And what about when you're full? Will the brain be clear? I asked.
The demon shook his head, "No." ”
Then he said: "But after eating so many evil ghosts today, maybe the energy is enough, and my consciousness begins to become clear, and I realize that I have done so many evils over the years, and I am still hungry every day, so painful!" ”
I was silent, it was painful to be a ghost, and almost every day when I reached the point of death, I would repeat the pain before I died, day after day, until I was liberated.
The demon said, "I heard what they said, so I don't eat you, so they will destroy their consciousness on their own." Can you know my pain? The consciousness of dozens of ghosts is on my body, they are not my friends, they are all the source of pain that tortures me, and if I want to make myself uncomfortable, I must destroy their consciousness one by one! This process is very difficult and painful, none of them are easy to mess with, as soon as I relax, they may eat my consciousness and become the master of this body themselves! ”
I nodded: "It's a lot simpler, so do you feel better now?" ”
The demon shook his head, and he turned his head to look up and down at his body.
On this deformed and huge body, the hands and feet are messy, and I don't know how to describe it.
Judging by his expression, he wasn't very happy.
"Do you think I'm still a ghost like this?" He asked with a wry smile.
I shook my head.
He asked me, "You seem to be a warlock?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded, "I'm a Soul Assassin. ”
"Same as Xu Ye?"
"If the 'Xu Ye' you are talking about is called Xu Hongyi, then yes."
"Oh." He asked puzzledly, "Since you are also a soul assassin, do you know what Xu Ye wants to do?" Why did he give us grave food? And why do you gather so many of us ghosts together? I don't think it was an unintentional move for him to mix up everyone's graves today, it seems that he has some kind of conspiracy? Everyone knows that demons are selfish and very bad, and they don't like to share their stuff with others at all. Xu Ye is such a smart person, he has never made such a mistake in the past, why do he do it today? What is the reason for him to let us kill each other? What benefits does he get by doing so? ”
After hearing this, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Looking at his 205 appearance before, it was indeed what he called the state of "chaotic" brain, I thought he was stupid, but now it seems that he is actually very smart when he returns to normal consciousness, and he basically guessed the approximate.
He talked to me so calmly, so I told him very honestly: "I don't know what Xu Hongyi wants to do." But I think he's either making a super evil ghost right now, that's why he's doing it. In this world, not all ghosts can cultivate very well, but if ghosts eat ghosts, then in the end, the remaining ghosts will be able to have the power of other ghosts, so that a super evil ghost can be created quickly! ”
The evil ghost asked, "If you can make a super evil ghost so easily, then all the ghosts don't need to cultivate." ”
"But this is also a very dangerous thing, like you said just now, although you have eaten all the ghosts, you have also become a monster, and so many consciousnesses are gathered on you, they will torture your spirit and make you become a psychopath. And it doesn't necessarily turn into a super evil ghost in the end. ”
"So what do you say I am now, have I succeeded or failed?" He looked at his deformed body.
I solemnly examined his body and hesitated, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" ”
"Let's be honest, at this point, it's not interesting to listen to lies." The demon said.
I said, "I think it should be...... Failed. ”
The demon asked, "How can it be a failure?" Didn't I destroy all the consciousness of demons? Now that I have all the power of the ghost alone, and I don't have any other uncomfortable feelings, why do I say I have failed? ”
I said, "If you can be a normal person after eating all the ghosts, maybe you will succeed." But now it seems that although you have eaten all the demons, you have not been able to perfectly integrate their power and their souls. Sooner or later, something will happen. ”
"I failed, I became a monster, right?" He asked softly, in a low voice.
I nodded.
"Then can I still be reincarnated?"
I shook my head: "What a ghost's soul body looks like, what it looks like when it is reincarnated." A ghost whose soul body is missing an arm is reincarnated as a person who lacks an arm; After the reincarnation of a ghost with a missing leg, it is a person who is born with a missing leg, so Yin Si will prohibit the ghost from being reincarnated when the soul body is incomplete. If you're like you, you'll be a monster when you're reincarnated. Moreover, let alone reincarnation, I'm afraid that the ghosts of the Yin Si will only tie you to hell when they see you! ”
The demon asked, "Will I ever be able to change back to my normal form in the future?" ”
I shook my head, "Probably not." ”
The evil ghost asked unwillingly, "Even if I go through cultivation, can't I turn myself back to normal?" ”
I still shook my head: "If I can really change back to my original form, then Yin Si will set a law prohibiting ghosts from eating ghosts." I've heard an impermanence tell me that for thousands of years, there have been precedents of ghosts eating ghosts, and those demons who try to gain great power by eating ghosts will eventually be doomed. ”
