Hearing this, Wang Zi let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and subconsciously leaned over to Li Shuai's side.

The old man looked at Xiao Mo with an ugly face, and while he was hiding from the mirror, he said to Xiao Mo:

"You remove that mirror first, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Seeing the old man compromise, Xiao Mo turned his back on the mirror with satisfaction, waiting for the old man's next explanation. The old man sighed helplessly, and then pulled his body and Xiao Mo a little closer, and then said slowly:

"In fact, I'm a dead man."

The old man's first words made everyone fall into consternation, and Wang Zi asked in disbelief:

"Dead people? Are you really a ghost? ”

"It's not a human or a ghost." The old man smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to Xiao Mo, signaling Xiao Mo to touch it, Xiao Mo touched it suspiciously, and he really couldn't detect the slightest temperature from the old man's hand.

The old man withdrew his outstretched hand, and continued:

"Common sense says I'm a dead man now, because I don't have a heartbeat and I don't have the slightest warmth in my body. But strangely, I still have the ability to think and move the mind that is unique to human beings.

I'm cursed to be imprisoned here, and I can't get out of this building, because once I get out, my body will get even more dry. I don't know how long I've been dead or how I ended up here, but in short, there is a consciousness in my head that governs my actions, and I can't resist it, I can only follow it. ”

"And what's the difference between you and the walking dead now?" Li Shuai said bluntly.

"It really doesn't make any difference. But I can't die, and even if my body turns to bones, my soul will still be trapped in this dark cage, never to be freed, unless...... The curse was shattered. ”

Xiao Mo didn't have the slightest interest in the old man's tragic life experience, he was interested in how much the old man knew about this curse, so he asked again:

"Do you know how this curse came to be, and what is the significance of its existence?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know how it came to be, and I certainly don't know what it means. ”

The old man's answer once again disappointed Xiao Mo. However, after the old man finished speaking, he added a twist:

"But what the hell is, I might be able to give you an explanation."

"What's the explanation?"

"The ghost itself is actually a combination of two factors, one is the evil thoughts accumulated by human beings in the world, and the other is a powerful shell produced by curses.

The most common depiction of ghosts in reality is that people become ghosts when they die. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this explanation, as I do now, the human soul is immortal. It's just the outer shell that's rotting.

Souls who have lost the shackles of their bodies wander between heaven and earth, and at this time they are conscious, but they have changed from materialistic beings to idealistic beings. At the same time, they see things that the living can't.

That's what people often call hell. ”

"You don't talk about it there, it's still hell, why don't you talk about Sun Wukong, I'm still making trouble in the Heavenly Palace!" Li Shuai interrupted the old man, thinking in his heart that this guy who was not a human or a ghost was making up a story.

The old man didn't say anything. just glanced at Li Shuai sluggishly:

"You can believe it or not, but I've been through death, so I feel like I have a voice."

Xiao Mo actually felt a little suspenseful in his heart, but he still wanted to hear the old man finish speaking. He motioned to Li Shuai to let the old man continue.

"Hell is black and white impermanence in the eyes of the world, the king of Yama, the book of life and death, and the temple of reincarnation. In fact, hell exists in the world. Because man after death. You will see things that you wouldn't be able to see when you were alive.

For example, the bleak overhead, covered with filthy clouds.

Man's thoughts, man's thoughts. The various feelings of human beings are not unexistent. They are real and will not disappear as your state of mind improves, they will remain in this world, gathering high in the sky, forming endless clouds.

And this cloud is like a virus, they can't penetrate people's shells, but when people lose their bodies, these viruses will invade in a big way, and in the invasion they will devour the original mind in the soul, so as to inject those filthy, filthy evil thoughts into it.

Once there are more of these infected souls, then they will have an impact on the real world, so the effect of the curse is manifested. It extracts infected souls from them, injects them into a new shell, and finds a way to digest them into reality.

In this way, it can not only alleviate the evil thoughts that exist in the world, but also purify the infected soul to the greatest extent, and ensure the balance of this world to the greatest extent.

So I think that the meaning of the curse is simply to want balance. ”

"QNMD Balance!" Li Shuai really couldn't listen to it anymore, and he scolded very angrily:

"Don't try to clear your master's name, don't you know what this damn curse is doing? Since its appearance, how many innocent people have died tragically, and how many happy families has it broken up?

The wicked in the world grasp a handful, and since it has such a powerful ability, why not just pull the wicked in? You're a big comer! ”

"The only one who can eliminate dark thoughts is human beings themselves, and the rules of the curse are not made by the curse itself, it is just an investor, and it is the human beings themselves who really decide its internal rules!

It can be said that since the birth of human beings, in addition to natural disasters and human beings themselves, the only thing that can affect them is the virus. Fear is the fastest spreading virus in the world, and viruses can kill people and make people re-examine themselves. ”

The old man looked at Xiao Mo and them expressionlessly, and said one last word:

"If you want to break the current situation, if you don't want any more innocent people to be harmed, then you try to be the one who sets the rules.

If you can't, and you don't even know if you'll survive the next event, then you're not qualified to think about these issues, and you're not qualified to doubt the truth of what I'm saying.

Because you don't live to the end, any truth has nothing to do with you!

Therefore, I advise you to focus too much on this kind of thing, and to live every day as if it were the end of the world, and to enjoy all that life has to offer you. ”

The old man's words were speechless, and Xiao Mo also secretly did some introspection in his heart, feeling that he had not distinguished the main and secondary well.

After saying so much to them in one breath, the old man also lost the interest in continuing to speak:

"Now that you've got the reward, if you don't plan to perform the reward mission in the future, don't come here to disturb me."

"The bonus mission?"

"It's for the cowards who are desperately trying to do the reward mission just to save enough to sell their freedom. This has to be said to be a very clever approach, but I think you are so stupid that you will not choose this path in the future. The old man said meaningfully.

Li Shuai glanced at the old man and said disdainfully:

"Dead old man, don't think we don't know what you're up to, I guess you'll do this to everyone who comes to receive the reward, first to make them think you know a lot of secrets, and then you're gradually guiding them to conquer the curse, not to compromise with it.

As for why you're doing this, I think it's because you've lived enough and want to be liberated. You're well-intentioned. ”

The old man's face changed slightly, and it seemed that he was really said by Li Shuai, and he shook his head with a sigh:

"I'm really blind, you rabbit cub is quite exciting."

"The handsome guy is not only exciting, but also very smart......"

Xiao Mo said goodbye to the old man, and the old man before saying goodbye also uncharacteristically said that if they could still come here alive, then he would welcome them over at any time.

In addition to this politeness, the old man also reminded Xiao Mo of one thing very strictly, and revealed his true identity in the mirror. (To be continued......)
