When Chen Zhe recovered from the severe pain around him, he found that he had already been stripped naked and thrown into a wooden barrel, and his body from the head down was all soaked in some kind of dark brown liquid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It hurts!" Chen Zhe poked his teeth and took a breath of cool air.

Now the pain in the whole body is not as sharp as before, but the wound on the right shoulder is extremely sore, and the wound has a strange itching sensation due to the soak in this strange liquid.

Looking at the right side of the empty body, Chen Zhe's heart flashed with loss, confusion, and fear of the monster.

Since the moment he woke up Xiao Shixuan, his ordinary life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Who would have thought that the truth of the existence of this world was so cruel, what Kabbalah Gate, Soul Arrester and other strange things would make the worldview he knew before collapse in an instant.

What Chen Zhe didn't expect the most was his brother-in-law, an ordinary farmer who could easily kill the soul arrester in seconds?

Although at the cost of losing an arm, Chen Zhe peeked into a corner of the truth, but such conditions made him unbearable.

Not to mention that he lost an arm, what will he do in the future? On the parents' side alone, Chen Zhe didn't know how to explain it to them?

All kinds of annoying thoughts came up for a while, Chen Zhe sighed, now he can only take one step at a time, and he will leave the future things to think about later.

Reluctantly packing up his mood, Chen Zhe turned his head and began to look at the current situation.

With the help of the orange light, Chen Zhe quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, and immediately understood what kind of place this was.

The room he was in was about fifteen square in size, and the walls had been lightly dipped in lime mortar to give them a drab white color.

On the left side of the room, the old cabinet is piled with all kinds of miscellaneous items and clothes, a light bulb hangs from the front beam of the tiled room, many cobwebs hang from the wall to the beam, and the wall is hung with pictorials in the style of the 80s.

Three or two small wooden stools were thrown everywhere at will, and on the corner bracket, there was a 15-inch Changhong brand black and white TV.

The only thing that was more fashionable was the Chinese knot-style wall clock that hung on the wall.

……

All this in front of Chen Zhe is all too familiar, he lived here for 15 years because of eye problems when he was a child, and he didn't move out until he was in high school.

The furnishings in my uncle's house have not changed at all, and I don't know how he has come by himself all these years.

Looking at this familiar room, Chen Zhe fell into memory, and it was not until his uncle's voice sounded that he woke him up.

"Can you speak? How do you feel about your body now? Chen Zhe's brother-in-law is called Mo Yu, an authentic farmer, who is still single in his forties, and at this time he is leaning against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at Chen Zhe casually.

"Well, it's much better!"

"What a fart, my hands have been torn off by others! How much better could that be? ”

Mo Yu threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, strode towards Chen Zhe, and scolded: "Lao Tzu warned you before, let you leave those bullshit light gates, you have to listen!" I didn't ask for any ability, but also learned from other people's heroes to save the United States, and closed the light door for others, if there was no magneto stone given to you by Lao Tzu last time, your baby would have died a long time ago! I didn't expect you to learn your lesson this time, and you ran to provoke the arresters again, and now you are satisfied with becoming a one-armed man, right? ”

Chen Zhe has long been immune to his uncle's scolding, and his uncle is a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart.

"Uncle, let's not talk about these things for now, I remember that we were still in CD City just now, why did we suddenly return to our hometown?"

"Humph!" Seeing that his nephew diverted the topic, Mo Yu said angrily: "Of course I walked back!" ”

The corners of Chen Zhe's mouth twitched a few times when he heard this, CD City is at least a few hundred kilometers away from here, and his uncle has walked hundreds of kilometers on foot with him in such a short period of time?

Alas, it seems that the world of masters is incomprehensible to mortals like him.

Mo Yu circled around the barrel a few times, then lit a cigarette again, and seeing that Chen Zhe wanted to speak and stopped, he exhaled a breath of turbidity and sighed, "I know what you want to ask." I wanted you to live this life plainly, but since you have been exposed to the truth, there is no need for me to hide it from you, after all, you are 27 years old, and you should know something. There are some things I don't understand, but I'll tell you everything I know. ”

The old man found a small wooden stool and sat down, and after smoking the cigarette in his hand, he finally began to speak.

There are different opinions about whether the soul really exists. There are those who believe and those who are skeptical.

For example, the ancient Egyptians believed in the existence of souls, so they mummified human corpses in the hope that one day human souls would return to the body and continue to be there.

There is a similar saying in China that a person enters the Yama temple after death, and the judge decides whether or not to use the right to reincarnation based on the person's deeds during his lifetime.

There are also theories in Europe that people go to heaven or hell when they die, but they are all the same.

And those who don't believe believe that death is like a lamp going out, and death means nothing.

There are also some so-called scientists who have done experiments to prove the existence of souls by weighing them to measure the weight of their souls. It is said that humans lose 21 grams of weight after death, so some people think that 21 grams is the weight of the soul.

Speaking of this, Mo Yu took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lit it, "You asked me when you were a child, saying that you can see that after a person dies, a human form with a white glow will appear in his body, and that human form is exactly the same as the deceased, right!" ”

Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Well, I remember this incident, and you scolded me fiercely at that time." That thing must be the soul! ”

Hehe, I didn't expect you kid to hold such a grudge, I remember that I scolded you at the time! Mo Yu spit out the smoke ring in his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, that's the soul!" It's just that after death, the soul will not enter any heaven or hell, or the Yama Temple, and when people are dying, a light gate will appear above their body......"

"Then a hand will stick out from behind the light door and grab their souls in! And the owner of that hand is the soul arrester? Chen Zhe interrupted Mo Yu's words and immediately said, "Will the souls of human beings be eaten by them after that?" Where did those monsters come from? ”

Mo Yu shook his head, "I don't know very well, soul trappers are creatures that do want to eat souls, and they do keep humans on the earth as animals, but no one knows where they come from, and no one understands why they eat souls, maybe they really just use souls as food." ”

"Didn't humans ever realize that they were actually in captivity?" After getting confirmation from his uncle in person, Chen Zhe felt a chill down his spine.

"How is that possible? With so many human beings, there is always a part of them who can discover this fact. They, like you, are people who are born to see the Gates of Light and the Soul Trapper. Such people are collectively referred to as the First Awakened! And the soul of the first awakened is hundreds of times stronger than the soul of others. ”

Some of the first awakened people went around proclaiming what they had seen after discovering the truth, but none of them came to a good end, and they were either treated as insane or burned at the stake.

Some of them signed a contract with the soul captors, and obtained a certain degree of immortality and powerful power by sacrificing offspring and being enslaved, and this part of the people was called gods in ancient times! These gods live on the power of faith provided by their believers, and they not only devour the souls of others, but also hunt down humans who are also the First Awakened.

The last part is not willing to be food, and gets together with those who are like-minded to form a common group to fight against their fate, but over time their respective beliefs gradually change, so they end up disintegrating into many schools of organization.

Mo Yu extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up and said to Chen Zhe: "As you can see, your uncle and I are also a member of a certain organization, of course, from now on you will also be a member of this organization until the moment your soul is captured by the detainee." ”
