Chapter 39: Assimilation

"What's the trouble?

Ji Sanqian's face was full of inexplicability.

Zheng Xie stared at Ji Sanqian's eyes tightly:

"Are you sure...... Have you only been here for seven days?"

Before Ji Sanqian realized the problem, Zheng Xie turned over and took out an iron axe, which directly cut a hole in Ji Sanqian's hand.

Ji Sanqian was in pain, withdrew his hand suddenly, and looked at Zheng Xie with wide eyes:

"Are you crazy?!"

Zheng Xie glanced at him coldly:

"Am I crazy? Look at your wounds. ”

Ji Sanqian looked at Zheng Xie with a look like a fool:

"Are you retarded? cut me and let me see the wound? Why don't you cut off my head and make me-"

The words came to an abrupt end

Ji Sanqian looked at his wound in a daze, the peeled flesh was exposed to the air at this time, but there was no trace of blood, it looked so weird and terrifying,

Zheng Xie didn't speak, but also slashed his hand with the blade of the axe, and immediately red blood flowed out.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Zheng Xie's voice was frighteningly cold at this time.

Ji Sanqian looked at his hands woodenly, especially the skin and flesh that were rolled up, and said softly for a long time:

"I'm ...... What's wrong?"

Zheng Xie put away the axe, and the meaning in his eyes was complicated:

"Although we beings in the yang world and the lost people in this lost realm look similar, they are composed of two completely different rules. Even if we strayed into a lost place, we would retain our original identity for a short time. ”

However, if you stay in this lost realm for a long time, or even go through several reincarnations, you will slowly assimilate and become a member of this lost realm. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Xie gestured to Ji Sanqian's wound:

"This kind of assimilation begins with a change in the rules of the body, and the absence of blood is one of the characteristics. ”

Ji Sanqian was silent.

After a while, Zheng Xie spoke again:

"I need you to think about it...... How long have you been stuck here?"

Perhaps because of what Zheng Xie said, he was shocked by his reason, and Ji Sanqian at this time seemed at a loss:

"I don't know...... I don't really know ......."

......

Eleven years ago, during the snowy season, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and even the footprints that had just walked out would be wiped out by the snow in half a cup of tea.

In this shivering season, the only place that can still be bustling in the middle of the night is the casino.

The human nature awakened by money, as well as the greed for gambling in the bones, make this underground casino full of all kinds of voices.

Roars, sighs, remorse, and laughter are endless, and even travelers who have just stepped into this place from the snow and cold will involuntarily get their blood boiling.

It's just that in such a large group of gamblers, there is a group of people who seem a little out of place.

Two men and two women, and an old man who is over half a hundred years old.

The two young girls, but with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, make people marvel when they look at them, and those two teenagers are also with various temperaments, which makes their group look particularly eye-catching.

"Master, what are we doing here? Some mundane possessions are just ......."

One of the youngest teenagers couldn't help but pout.

The older of the two girls reached out and tapped the boy on the head, and said:

"Just listen to Master. ”

The old man's expression was calm:

"Look at people's hearts, look at human nature. ”

The young man couldn't help but say again:

"We don't often deal with the living, so what's the use of seeing this person's heart?"

The old man glanced at him:

"You can't see through the living, and you still want to see the dead?"

was reprimanded by the old man like this, and the young man was silent.

The old man then moved his gaze to the tables:

"It is the living who have desires, and in this casino there are sins, and if you can see those sins, you can teach me the secret texts. ”

"Is it sin?"

The neatly dressed teenager of the two teenagers repeated, revealing a thoughtful look.

The old man nodded slightly:

"A man's heart desires, a man's desire gives birth to sin, and a man's desire to die is to be destroyed, but sin is difficult to eliminate. Among the few of you, Pandai is the closest to that realm, and the others still need to be sharpened. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's gaze especially stayed on the young man who spoke first:

"Especially Fan Wu. ”

The young man named Fan Wu was obviously a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to show it in front of this old man and his various senior brothers and sisters.

"Xiao Shu, Wan Jue, you can consult Senior Brother Pan Bao to exchange understanding of sin and desire. ”

The old man gestured to the two girls, and then turned his gaze to Fan Wu:

"As for you...... Come with me. ”

Fan Wu was stunned for a moment, and saw that the old man had no meaning to explain, so he could only follow him nervously and walk deeper into the casino.

The remaining three boys and girls gathered together and wandered around the casino.

Fan Wu followed behind the old man, and couldn't help but secretly look at everything in the casino along the way, but because of distraction, he directly hit the old man who stopped in front of him.

However, the old man didn't care, just turned around, stared at the entire casino, and said in a low voice:

"Can you see it? Fan Wu?"

Fan Wu rubbed his head, his eyes were a little distracted:

"I ...... I'm not as smart as Senior Brother Pan, and I can't see any sin......"

The old man shook his head:

"You know I'm not asking about sin. ”

The young man named Fan Wu swallowed his saliva, raised his head and secretly observed the old man's face, and quickly lowered his head:

"Look...... See. ”

When the old man saw him like this, he was also dumbfounded:

"What are you afraid of? I won't reprimand you, just tell the truth. ”

Unexpectedly, Fan Wu shook his head decisively:

"Master, I'm not afraid of you......"

"It's just that I've never seen such a strange scene......"

The old man frowned:

"Strange?"

Fan Wu showed a palpitating look:

"yes...... Although the people in this casino are more or less angry, but ...... Even if they add up, they are far less than a drop in the bucket of 'him'......"

"Him?"

The old man looked solemnly in the direction Fan Wu intended, and saw the so-called "he"—a child who was no more than eight or nine years old.

The child was obviously a servant bought by the owner of the casino, and he was dressed in thin clothes, and his body looked a little sloppy, and what was even more surprising was that the child had red hair.

The old man squinted and looked at the red-haired child, but he couldn't see anything, and couldn't help but ask Fan Wu beside him again:

"You read that right?"

Fan Wu shuddered:

"How could this be wrong...... His anger was so thick that it almost covered my eyes......"

I saw the red-haired boy carrying a wine jug, and whenever someone won a gamble, he would quickly step forward, carefully pour a glass of wine for him, and say a compliment that he had learned many times, so as to make the guest happy.

That's what he does in the day.

In this mixed and filthy air, only the child's eyes full of spirit were particularly dusty.

"No, if the anger is so strong, how can the eyes be so pure?"

The old man muttered, and then walked towards the child.

Fan Wu trembled in horror, but his master had already taken a step, and he could only follow behind him.

The boy stood by the wall in a daze, his hands stiff from holding the flask all the time, and was thinking about how to find a way to be lazy, when he suddenly noticed that there was an extra person beside him.

When he looked up, he saw a face that was not smiling.

"Guest officer...... Do you have any instructions?"

He looked a little flustered, thinking that he had accidentally done something wrong to provoke the gambler.

The old man was silent for a moment, and then asked directly:

"What's your name?"

The child was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation:

"Ji ...... Ji Sanqian. ”

The old man nodded, and then asked:

"Do you want to get out of here?"

The child nodded subconsciously, but immediately shook his head in fear.

"Don't be afraid, just answer my questions. ”

The old man's voice was very gentle, with a soothing charm, which made the child less nervous.

"Let me ask you again, do you want to get out of here?"

The old man said patiently.

Although I don't know what the "gambler" in front of me means, the child still said truthfully:

"Yes. ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad. ”

Before the boy could react, the old man gave orders to a young man who had been hiding behind him, and saw that the young man looked shocked and trotted away with great reluctance.

Not long after, the young man ran back with a piece of paper in his hand, handed it to the old man, and said:

"I bought it, and it cost thirty taels of silver. ”

The old man tore the paper casually and looked at the child who was still standing there:

"Throw the flask away and come with me. ”
