Chapter 45: I Am Me
As soon as he got on the bridge, Shen Lie felt the gust of wind, but the mutated crows under his feet did not disperse, even if there were more and more people coming up, this 'bridge' showed no signs of collapse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are still scattered crows flying around the bridge on both sides, Shen Lie followed behind Yang Weiguo with a nervous expression, there is the red pool under the bridge, and there is a strange bald tree with flowers in the pool, once it falls, the end will definitely not be wonderful.
Suddenly, there was a miserable howl behind him, it was a woman's voice, which frightened Shen Lie and turned around, thinking that something had happened to Zhang Jing, only to see that it was a young girl behind Zhang Jing who was attacked by scattered mutant crows and fell off the bridge after dying.
The girl didn't know how lucky she had been to survive until now, but she couldn't get through it at the last moment, and the corpse slowly fell into the red pool, which instantly became the fertilizer of the red flowers.
Shen Lie didn't have any special emotions about this, after so many things, his heart had slowly become hard, he just glanced at the place where the girl fell, and then let Zhang Jing and Xiao Taotao walk in front of him.
Although some people returned to the passage, more than half of the people went to the bridge, and there were two or three hundred people. squeezed the front from behind, and easily squeezed Shen Lie and the others into the thick fog.
As soon as he entered the dense fog area, Shen Lie found that his perception was greatly limited, and the pills under his nose didn't seem to be so fragrant, and he could only feel faint life fluctuations in front of and behind him, and even Zhang Jing, who was close at hand, couldn't see clearly.
In addition, Shen Lie also found that the 'Crow Bridge' under his feet became less stable, first swinging upwards in waves, and then began to sway from side to side, he had a feeling that the bridge would probably disperse in less than a minute or two.
"Hold on to me!" Shen Lie let out a low snort, grabbed Zhang Jing and Xiao Taotao, who were still moving forward carefully, the skin on his body showed a pale golden color, the black spear in his hand was across his chest, and he began to rush forward with all his strength!
Shen Lie ran and ran, and suddenly found an important problem, that is, he had been running with two people for so long, and he didn't even bump into a person!
Not only did they not bump into it, but they didn't even look at it, as if the people around them had suddenly disappeared.
The width of this crow bridge is only three meters, he didn't even dare to run too fast because he was afraid of falling down, although his vision was a little worse, but he definitely wouldn't be able to touch a person, Professor Liu and Yang Weiguo and others were on the bridge before him, but at the moment the front was empty, he never believed that Professor Liu and others were so fast.
Swish!
Shen Lie stopped and suddenly looked back at the back.
At this glance, I was suddenly shocked, there was nothing behind it, no one, not even a red mist, only a black pontoon bridge straddling the void!
"Hallucination, it's an illusion!" Shen Lie closed his eyes fiercely, then turned around and opened them.
This time, his expression became more solemn, and he found that not only did he fail to break the illusion, but he also lost Zhang Jing and Xiao Taotao, who had been pulling him, and he was the only one left on the entire bridge!
Shen Lie opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but swallowed it back, the current situation is too weird, it's better not to make a rash move.
He raised his legs and continued to walk forward, continuing to look back and forth as he walked, but as he walked, he involuntarily ran, and the faster he ran, the faster he ran, the whole person seemed to be pulled by something, and his spirit fell into the world of illusion and became a marionette.
"Young man, take a break from a bowl of soup!" A hoarse voice sounded on the bridge, stopping Shen Lie's footsteps at once, and at the same time pulling him back to reality from his vanity.
The bridge was still not at the end, but at some point there was an extra railing on both sides of the bridge, and the shape of the bridge became arched, and he was standing at the very top of the arched bridge.
And in front of him, there sat an old woman with a wrinkled face, sitting on a stone pier, in front of which was a large cauldron, and there was no fire under the pot, but the soup in the pot was boiling hot, and the old woman was stirring in the pot with a large spoon, and watching him while stirring.
"Meng Po?"
This situation, this scene, this pot, this soup, and the bridge under his feet, Shen Lie had to think of a god and ghost figure.
"Young man, would you like a bowl of soup?" The old woman ignored Shen Lie's question, scooped out a spoonful of the soup in the pot and poured it into the bowl, motioning for him to drink it.
How dare Shen Lie drink such a strange bowl of soup, if this is really Meng Po soup, he will lose his memory and be reincarnated if he drinks it.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, I'm not thirsty now, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Shen Lie shook his head like a rattle, and while shaking his head, he planned to go around the old woman's side.
But a strange scene happened, no matter how hard he tried and how he accelerated, but every time he walked down through the arch peak, he would return to the old woman's face again!
"It's useless, this is the bridge of the afterlife, only those who cut off the past and don't ask about the afterlife can go over, drink it, drink this bowl of soup and you can pass." The old woman muttered as she brought the bowl to Shen Lie's mouth.
With the old woman's words, Shen Lie suddenly felt that his consciousness had become hazy, and it was as if there were thousands of people asking him in his ears, "What is the use of the past, and what about the next life, when it is broken, it will be broken, drink, drink, drink!" ”
"Drink, drink, drink・・・・・・"
Wave after wave of sound made Shen Lie even more confused, and subconsciously took the bowl in the old woman's hand, slowly put the bowl to his mouth, and opened his mouth to start drinking.
Suddenly, a picture flashed in Shen Lie's mind, it was a beautiful and kind woman, although she was dressed plainly but very neatly, she stood far away in the void and smiled at herself, "Xiao Lie, don't be naughty, go wash your hands and eat, Mom made you your favorite chicken leg today!" ”
The mother's figure suddenly became blurred, turning into a hazy man's figure, "Xiao Lie, you have to protect your mother when your father is away, don't be cowardly!" ”
"Xiao Lie, why haven't you arrived in Yangcheng yet, hurry up!" A gentle voice sounded, it was my cousin's voice.
"Shen Lie, there is no future between us, let's break up!" The voice of his first girlfriend also came out.
"Liezi, how good is it for our brother to wander around in this capital, what are you doing when you go home? It won't be to go home and play with your childhood sweetheart, hahaha・・・・・・" The voice of a friend in college made Shen Lie recall more life scenes.
Cut off the past?
Don't ask about the next life?
So am I still me, who am I, who am I, and what is the point of me struggling for so long in this last days?
"I'm just me, no matter how bitter the previous life was, no matter how difficult the next life was, life and death are all life, I won't forget, and I don't want to lose, old woman, I'm sorry!"
"I am who I am!"
Shen Lie suddenly let out an angry roar, and the soup bowl in his hand was thrown into the face of the old woman opposite, and then the black spear in his other hand swept directly towards the other party with a bright and uncertain halo!
