Chapter 22: Confession of the Truth (II)

"Your background, in Fengxia City at that time, was regarded as a joke." Lin Shufan is reminiscing with me about the lost memories.

And I couldn't remember anything but clenching my fists.

"At that time, I didn't know you, but I heard my mother mention that because of the indifference and discrimination of most people, you have been withdrawn since you were a child, you have no friends, and you don't want to go out of your own world. My only hobbies are reading and writing..."

"Writing?" Something suddenly occurred to me.

Lin Shufan nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

This is the only information I know about my identity in the Atlas, "So, those unawakened mirror corpses didn't hide my true occupation?" ”

I thought to myself, full of suspicions, but hesitated and didn't tell Lin Shufan.

There is still a lot of mustard in my heart, not only for this other world, but even everything in the world that I "think about" - including Lin Shufan.

Seeing that I didn't say much, Lin Shufan continued: "This is your past, your past before we met. So, whether some things are true or not, I can't verify... However, one thing that everyone knows is that your spiritism is not innate, but acquired... At Fengxia, your experience has changed the history of psychic. ”

"Study?" I was a little surprised, after all, it was a completely blank memory for me.

"Hmmm! I once read a book you wrote about 'psychic' that contained your personal experience and the spiritism that only a few people can understand. According to what you described, in the moment of time and space, the whole world also changed, and due to the influx of a large amount of information that was contrary to the original living environment of human beings, mutation also began... So, at that time, you mentioned at the beginning of the book, 'Since the establishment of time and space, there has been no pure person, everyone is a psychic, just awakened or not'. ”

I couldn't help but sweat running down my back, I only felt a trace of pain wandering in my thoughts, Lin Shufan saw my painful expression, and let me calm down for a while.

It's winding outside the window again, it's a strange otherworld... One, the other world that I miss, even if the beauty of the past three years is just the illusion of a bubble.

After a long time, I remembered what to ask, so I said, "Shufan... Are they okay? ”

Lin Shufan was stunned at first, and then there was silence for a while.

"My mom and dad... Are they okay? ”

A line of tears slipped quietly, and Lin Shufan hung her head slightly, "Uncle and aunt... It's gone. ”

If the heart is torn, a lot of blood rushes into the brain... Stirring until my vision went blank and my ears hummed.

Lin Shufan supported me, vaguely... I heard her call my name, "Gao Shan... Gao Shen? ”

I choked up, my heart aching so much that I was short of breath, "They... They... How did you leave? ”

Lin Shufan sighed and said, "Fengxia's defense line was broken once, at that time, whether it was an ordinary person or a psychic, there were heavy casualties, and your parents only wanted to protect you..."

I cried loudly, and Lin hugged me and leaned on her shoulder... After a long time, another thin cloud shrouded the red moon, and the surroundings were hazy like veil.

Lin comforted me in my ear: "Xiao Gao... Uncle and aunt should be very proud to see you now... You have to cheer up, you have to get back everything you lost, not only for Fengxia... And the expectations of your relatives and friends. ”

"And then?" Gradually, I calmed down.

"Listening to the description of the messenger of Fengxia's 'psychic church', after the crisis, you were found in the center of the danger zone, when you were unconscious, and there were countless mirror corpses scattered around you... The current leader is very confused, so he gathers a few respected psychics and uses specific spiritism to explore you..."

"So... The psychics who have abandoned the common people... Like picking up a big bargain, you put me in place and put me in place as the new leader? Hum... Hehe. "I sneered at the hypocrisy of the world.

Lin Shufan hugged me and shook his head, "It's not like this... In that disaster, nearly every family lost a loved one, including the leader and a few elders... And also... My stepfather. ”

I was stunned and speechless.

"Xiao Taka... I know that you now have a grudge in your heart, thinking that it was an era of indifference, but have you ever thought about it, the good and evil of human nature also need a material foundation, if it is a world where there is chaos and everyone is in danger, who still has the heart to drink and talk, talk about poetry and words, or discuss noble conduct? There was a time when I hated too... But then, you told me..."

Lin Shufan let go suddenly, we glanced at each other, and I didn't know if it was the relationship between the red moon or shyness, a layer of slightly drunk red, imprinted on Lin's cheeks, very cute.

"You told me, 'We don't expect a rainbow, but an eternal blue sky... Because there is a rainbow, there must also be a storm to wash away, the evil of this world is not the real evil, but the persecution of the situation, so that human nature cannot be revealed. ’”

I breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling conflicted, "What happened later? ”

"Later... You joined the 'Psychic' organization, and with your talents, you soon became a small person, leading a party in a two-year tug-of-war with the mirror corpse. During this period, according to your method, not only awakened the psychic power in the bodies of most ordinary people, but also improved the spiritual power of many psychics... It's just that, due to the ability of the mirror corpse to possess and devour, you have always kept the highest secret of spiritism and have not revealed the essence information to the outside world. ”

As he spoke, Lin seemed to think of something, his eyes were fixed, and he flickered, and said, "That's right... That page is broken! It retains a compendium of the highest psychic mysteries. ”

"What!" I was horrified, but I hadn't told the truth yet.

"You gave me that broken page... Three years ago, you were drafted on a classified mission... The night before entering the other world, Hutong calculated the life and death hexagram for you. Lin paused, perhaps afraid that I would be puzzled, and she explained: "The so-called life and death hexagram is still the hexagram of the 'thirteenth face'... Before each psychic performs a confidential mission, he will use a merging mirror, supplemented by spiritism, to predict the bad luck of the trip..."

Lin suddenly avoided my gaze, as if he had something on his mind and couldn't mention it to me.

I think she skipped some details lightly, but when she thought that she also kept the secret of "Chen Yue" to her in her heart, she was a little ashamed and didn't ask about it.

"At that time, it was a bad omen. You were afraid that you would never return, so you privately tore off a page of "Spiritism" and handed it over to me to keep... And the rest of the book was burned to ashes. ”

"Why did I burn a book on the highest spiritism?" I always felt that something was wrong, so I asked.

Lin Shufan seemed to have anticipated my doubts, only to see her point to the Yin Hall and say, "It's not just books... You have also sealed the memories of the lifeblood of the book.

At that time, after learning that the hexagram was a sign of death, you were anxious for a long time... In order to avoid side problems, it is necessary to endure the pain and remove the hidden dangers. ”

Thinking about it carefully, in the mirror corpse, there is an ethereal mirror corpse that has the ability to snatch people's hearts, but it also makes sense, but further, I suddenly felt extremely frightened when I thought about it, and said in surprise: "Could it be... In the past three years, I have been able to survive in the other world because of that book? The purpose of the mirror corpse is to unlock the secrets of the supreme spiritism that I have sealed myself?! ”

Lin Shufan shook his head, "I don't know... But as things stand, nine times out of ten. Xiao Gao, not to mention the purpose of the mirror corpse to save your life, the most important thing at the moment is that the fragment of its program is in your hands... Fast... Let's try to see if you can get some spiritual power back through the channeling of the broken pages! ”

I didn't speak, just silently walked to the bathroom, found my suit jacket, found the only note, and took the depleted phone in my hand.

"That's all." I walked up to Lin and gestured.

Lin Duan looked at it for a long time, and his pupils seemed to shrink suddenly, and asked, "What about a broken page?" ”

"It's one with me."

Lin let out a false alarm, covered his mouth, and stared into my eyes in disbelief.

So, I told her what had happened.

After finishing speaking, Lin Shufan put his palm on my forehead, and a psychic aura fit and wandered on my body, "Shufan? ”

I saw her holding her breath and concentrating, silent, frowning and thinking from time to time, and when the psychic was over, Lin Shufan's face was pale, and I hurriedly handed her a bottle of water and sat down.

Lin took a breath and said anxiously: "I found out to you just now, and it is indeed as you said, there is a clear stream of existence, stored in your body... But..."Lin frowned again, this time, her eyes were very deep, she thought for a while, and continued: "However, high... Are you sure that the four scattered spirit bodies have all returned to Zhao? ”

I nodded for a moment, then said, "Why do you ask?" ”

Lin Shufan sighed, "Alas... It shouldn't be like this, there is clearly only one spirit in your body, and although the clear current is attached to your body, it is outside the spirit body, faintly, there is only a trace of connection. My ability to detect is limited in what breath of the broken book is associated with your spirit. ”

"It's space...", I don't think about it, but I'm sure.

Seeing Lin's stunned expression, I continued: "The six spirits are recorded on one page of the remnant book. space, time, light matter, dark matter, purity, and spirit..."

"It's impossible!" Before I could tell me about their relationship with me, Lin Shufan stopped me.

She said: "I've seen that there are only four spirits on that broken page, which is what you call space, time, light matter and dark matter. ”

Linden and I looked at each other in a hurry, and each seemed to have the worst thing in mind.

"But you gave me this scrap of the book, and I will never leave it... It is impossible to be transferred, and it is with this remnant book that we can save the day. ”

Lin was noncommittal, she said: "But, how can you explain that there is only one spirit left in your body?" ”

Silent, I looked out the window at the full moon, still the same high sky, still the same position, this red moon has never changed, gradually, I closed my eyes, concentrating on the only spirit and the shadow of the broken book.

I only heard the voice of memory that had been repeated many times, and it echoed in my ears again: "The soul is stripped away, and the beast is trapped in six directions." ”

"Soul stripping, trapped beasts in six directions?" This is a part of the memory that was recovered in the coffin that was compared to the vanity mirror.

When I opened my eyes, I suddenly figured out something, and hurriedly told Lin Shufan, "Maybe... From beginning to end, my six true spirits are scattered in different planes? ”

As I spoke, I told Lin Shufan about the dressing mirror, only to see that she was dumbfounded for a moment, and just wanted to talk to me about something, when the sound of the ghost crying broke the silence of the night.

We looked at each other, got up, vigilantly hid on either side of the curtain, and looked down from the tenth floor... The East Street area is densely packed... It's all the walking dead.
