Chapter 39: Causes
Xinyi and I sat down next to the two of them, and Lao Zhao began to say, "It all started 30 years ago!" 30 years ago, the wolf master made a living by robbing tombs, and belonged to the tomb robbery sect in the gold faction, and his life spanned the north and south, robbing countless tombs, and everyone knew about it in the tomb robbery world, and mixed with the title of the wolf master who touched the gold. 30 years ago, this achievement, the wolf lord is particularly proud, the wolf lord never robbed the tomb for money and jewelry, what he pursued was to constantly provoke the limit of human wisdom and courage, to pour the fight that others dare not fall, to steal the tomb that others can't find! ”
Lao Zhao couldn't help but look at me when he said this: "Lord Wolf has spent most of his life on finding the dragon point, and the most sorry people in his life are your mother and you, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father!" Later, by chance, Lord Wolf joined the Institute of Ancient Chinese Culture, History and Archaeology, because here, Lord Wolf found a new challenge: finding the ghost mirror. During this period, your mother has been pregnant with you, but this new challenge has aroused all the passion in the heart of the wolf master, he ruthlessly abandoned his wife, who was already pregnant with Liujia, and resolutely embarked on a journey with the members of the archaeological institute to find the ghost mirror, now that I think about it, he really can't stand your mother and son! ”
Lao Zhao seems to be making a confession for his father 30 years ago, but I don't feel much when I hear it, because in my impression, the role of father almost doesn't exist! casually comforted Lao Zhao and said: "You don't have to repent for my father, he left before I was born, so I don't have any impression of him at all, in my memory, my mother has never blamed him, my mother is always kind, gentle, she never mentioned anything about my father to me!" ”
That being said, I also have another understanding in my heart, Lao Zhao is not repenting for his father, or he may be deliberately picking out my father's guilt back then, so as to become the reason for him to replace my father as my father's shadow!
Lao Zhao listened to my words and was secretly touched, and then said: "30 years ago, the wolf master and the personnel of the archaeological institute formed a team of 17 people, according to the dragon vein of the dragon out of the sea, and followed the Changbai Glacier - Inner Mongolia Ghost Tower - Western Regions Loulan - South China Sea Cloud Island - Kunlun Labyrinth - Divine Tomb Wang Ding to find the ghost mirror, until after entering Kunlun Mountain, 17 people ...... There are only three left! ”
"My father, the wolf, has a big beard, and glasses!" I couldn't help but say.
Lao Zhao nodded: "Yes!" After the battle of Kunlun Mountain, the fate of the three of them has changed since then! ”
"I know what you said, it is precisely because of the battle of Kunlun Mountain that you were born, and the bearded man has since become Wu Laohan, but these glasses are ......."
"Glasses...... It's today's sunspots! ”
"What? Sunspots are glasses? ”
I was taken aback when I heard this, I didn't dare to interject again, and listened to him continue: "In the panic of that year, the wolf master and the bearded man left their glasses in the tomb, and since then there has been no news, and after the death of the wolf master...... I showed up, and many years later I ran into glasses again, and by that time he had changed from a timid glasses to a brave and resourceful sunspot! He and I belong to the same category, both of us have taken the identity of shadows instead of the ontology, and since then we have become the complete opposite of the ontological personality traits! But Kuroko himself still doesn't know the origin of his new identity, and only some scattered memories are kept in his mind, and it is because of these scattered memories that he is forced to keep chasing his past, and he has always wanted to find out his own life, so at that time, I secretly guided him to come together with you as 'L'! That's why you met in the Tomb King's Ding! I also came to a conclusion that it is impossible for people who appear as shadows to fully possess the memories of the original body, which requires the complete superposition of the two magnetic fields, most people can't do it, they are often unaware of themselves after being replaced by shadows, and others can only be aware of the changes in their behavior and habits, such as sunspots, and monkeys! ”
I listened to it for a long time and couldn't help but wonder Kuroko had told me that everything he was doing now was forced to do by a command that would pop up in his mind from time to time, and in the same way, this monkey who came to Changbai Mountain with me didn't know that his true intention was to kill me!
From Lao Zhao's mouth, I finally let me know the true identity of the sunspot! I couldn't help but say: "Now it seems that the mysterious disappearance of the only three people left 30 years ago has finally allowed me to find the corresponding new identity to correspond to, Lord Wolf, beard, glasses, corresponding to Lao Zhao, Wu Laohan, and Heizi!" ”
Lao Zhao nodded meaningfully: "Back then, the wolf master and the glasses were replaced by their own shadows, replacing the wolf master, I appeared as Lao Zhao, so far my psychological process has undergone diametrically opposite changes, I no longer have any interest in the dragon point, the only thing I want to do is to make up for your mother and you!" I would love to come back and recognize you, but I found out that your mother and son were also involved in this curse, and since then there is only one thing left in my life, to lift the curse for you! It took me many years to find out the secret of the ghost mirror and find a way to put an end to it, but over the years I began to feel the existence of a secret force that did exactly the opposite of me, and they wanted to reawaken the curse of the ghost mirror and let more people be shadowed by it...... Fill somebody's shoes! ”
Lao Zhao said, his eyes couldn't help but cast on the masked man in front of him.
Sitting with the leader of this dark force at this moment, I was also about to ask him clearly: "It's you who are stopping everything we do, you want to turn the world upside down, let evil rule everything, what is the purpose of you doing this?" ”
"Nope! He is just the promoter of the matter, but the cause is the wolf! Lao Zhao immediately waved his hand at me: "If it weren't for the wolf master who took the ghost mirror out of this thousand-year-old ice cave 30 years ago, everything would not have happened!" ”
I was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "So, my father really got the ghost mirror from the beginning, so why did he hide from everyone and pretend to continue on the road with them?" ”
"Because...... Because the wolf master wants to find out the black shadow that has been secretly following him! From the moment the wolf master got the ghost mirror here, he began to feel the existence of something, at first the wolf master was not sure what that thing was, but it has been pestering the wolf master! ”
Lao Zhao's words made me a little confused, after meeting with Wu Laohan before, I had already deduced that the dark shadow that had been pestering my father 30 years ago and the mastermind behind the death of my father in Kunlun Mountain...... It's his shadow, that is, Lao Zhao sitting in front of me at the moment, but listening to Lao Zhao's meaning at this moment, it seems that there is something else wrong!
I couldn't help but ask Lao Zhao: "That black shadow that has been haunting my father...... Isn't that you? ”
"Me? How is it possible, in this way, you still haven't fully understood the relationship between the ontology and the shadow! ”
I was even more confused: "What...... What do you mean? ”
"Ontology and shadow have the principle of 'consistency'! Yes, back then, as the shadow of the wolf master, I was indeed inseparable from him all the time, but at most I could only interfere with his thinking, the existence of the principle of 'consistency' made it impossible for me to make any moves to the wolf master independently, let alone kill him! If I want to kill the wolf, I can only kill myself! If that were the case, I wouldn't be sitting in front of you right now! ”
Lao Zhao's words suddenly reminded me that when I made my previous inferences, I did ignore the principle of "consistency", so that my previous speculations would all be overturned, the black shadow that haunted my father...... Is there really someone else?
Lao Zhao continued: "Later, the wolf master finally got in touch with the black shadow, and since then he finally knows his purpose, he wants the wolf master to return the ghost mirror to its place and put it back in the thousand-year-old ice cave!" ”
"They...... How did you get in touch? ”
"He will often leave inscriptions on the stone walls wherever the wolf master goes! At first it was just persuasion, and then it ...... Became a threat! ”
"Threats? What do you mean? ”
"He told the wolf master in engraving that if he didn't follow the advice, he would start killing, and the wolf master was young and vigorous back then, and he was never afraid of anything, so how could he be threatened by him!"
"And what about later? Did he really kill someone? ”
Lao Zhao nodded: "Before they left the mountain, two team members were beheaded and died, and the last five words he left for the wolf master on Changbai Mountain were: Two people have been resolved." ”
Hearing this, it dawned on me that all the members of the team had been killed by this mysterious black shadow.
At that time, the wolf master was completely aroused by him, so the wolf master took the mirror and the others to continue on the road, in order to lead him to continue to work, so as to find him out! But Lord Wolf underestimated his ability, and every time he could kill people invisibly! When he arrived in Inner Mongolia, he solved three more people, one after another, and in the end, there were only 3 left in the team of 17 people, and finally in Kunlun Mountain, even the wolf master himself died in his hands! Many years later, I reappeared as Lao Zhao, in order to lift the curse of the ghost mirror on you, I began to try my best to find the ghost mirror, and I want to bring the ghost mirror back to this thousand-year-old ice cave land. At the same time, I also found that the mysterious black shadow that killed the wolf master back then has become the head of the dark forces, and he is still chasing after the ghost mirror, and he wants to use the evil power of the ghost mirror to awaken more human shadows......"
Hearing this, I was shocked again: "You mean, that mysterious black shadow is Xinyi's master, the masked man in front of us at this moment?" ”
Lao Zhao and I both cast our eyes on the masked man almost at the same time, "Not bad! I also found out after years of tracking! ”
At this moment, Lao Zhao and the masked man looked at each other, and I felt that the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
My mind became more and more confused, and two questions suddenly popped up: "No! There are contradictions in your statement, first, the ghost mirror was on my father's wolf master back then, and the moment my father died was your birth, you should have gotten the ghost mirror as a matter of course, so why do you need to look for it again? Second, according to what you just meant, the mysterious black shadow that killed my father back then is the masked man in front of us, who originally wanted to prevent my father from bringing the ghost mirror back into the world, but then how did he become the leader of the dark forces? It's not logical! ”
