The sun is getting dusk, and the fate is nine reincarnated.

"What does that mean?" I asked at Dawn.

"Rihua is the time when the sun is the most intense, and the gradual twilight is about to get dark, the ancient people did not understand this phenomenon and thought that it was the rapid passage of time, so it was described as, at noon, the time was about to enter the dusk, and the life spirit was the soul of the person, and the nine turns meant that they had experienced nine turns of life, and the birth was the resurrection, so you understand!" Dawn said slowly, obviously knowing everything about it.

"It seems that you are not honest enough, friend!" Xie Chenhui glanced at me at this time and walked over slowly, their previous mustard has always existed, this time Xie Chenhui seemed a little unhappy about the concealment, I shook my head and motioned for him to continue.

Liming smiled bitterly and glanced back at Xie Chenhui, and continued: "Actually, the phenomenon in those two sentences is a total solar eclipse, which means that during a total solar eclipse, the dead here will be resurrected, that is, reincarnated. Xiao Du's previous guess can draw a perfect end, the soul continues to go to a point in time through a small space-time vortex, this point in time is actually not backward but advanced, and those sealed corpses are also waiting for a crossing, waiting for the time vortex to roll them to a point in the same time as the soul. ”

I looked at Dawn and said very calmly, "You mean that there were no souls in this city in the first place, but the time vortex sent them here, but how do you know this?" Just when I was wondering, I suddenly thought of a person, and I remembered what that person said when I first met: "The sand immersed in the daytime, in the sand splits into sand." This was my first conversation with the third uncle, and he said, "That year, several of us undoubtedly got this sentence and a drawing, which led me to the castle of the Black Lama. Beneath the castle is the entrance to the ruins of Gumo, a ruin, a kingdom, another world. ”

Oh, my God! The third uncle has been here, and I should have thought that there was no whirlpool here a long time ago. Otherwise, the third uncle and they would never have left here alive, and there were many people who had been here, but they were all gone, why? Because at that time there was nothing, no soul, no time vortex, maybe not even this huge stone tablet hourglass.

"No, no. That's not true. As I spoke, I recalled the scene at that time, and the third uncle said at that time, "Curse, death." The mist, the mask, my brothers left before me. "Is the curse the effect of the Time Spiral draining souls? Is the fog an earthquake caused by a total solar eclipse? The mask is that statue? At that time, someone actually died, but the third uncle and they still escaped, and it seems that this time I seem to have caught up with the time.

But why do I suddenly feel that my memory is confused, and I don't remember many things, it seems that this situation started when I remembered those things during the Cultural Revolution in the desert. What's going on, my mind is messed up again, I seem to have a pain in my brain just thinking about what happened before, and then I think about it when I come.

I looked at the dawn. found that he was still sitting calmly at this time, "Time waits for no one, this hourglass must be the time when the eclipse appears." And this is the ninth time, maybe this dead city has changed dramatically, and we can't sit back and wait. ”

"Huh." After listening to my words, Liming buried his head between his legs and said in a dull voice, "There's no time, I'm sorry I lied to you, I actually came here to verify something, and the organization listened to our whole conversation from the time we entered the city, as well as the time-controlled video." Then Dawn lifted her head. Peel off the two clear lenses on the eyes.

"Contact lenses?"

"No, it's actually a video recorder that sends video to the organization." Dawn smiled and tossed them aside.

"But what are you?" I'm stupid about Dawn's actions. "Could it be that you're always in touch with your organization? But the distance we have traveled all the way is simply impossible. ”

At this time, it stretched out its hand, "Can't you see the red dots on my fingernails?" This is the communicator of the organization, you all know it! Now there is no signal, and the desert organization that was outside at the beginning has been on the desert of this city, and they have found the body of the negative god, and they have also found the place where every total solar eclipse in the ancient city of Gumo appears. So as soon as we got here, my signal was automatically connected to the organization, and the video was recorded and delivered. Now that all the materials needed for the organization are complete, Xiao Du, you have once again become a dog of the organization. ”

By this time Dawn was already laughing maniacally, he was incoherent, almost insane, I knew it was the distortion of fear when one knew that his death was near. Xie Chenhui and I didn't speak but looked at him quietly, maybe only people who know here will know how close death is to him, but I'm not like this, I don't want to die yet.

"Xiao Du, your Chengruo actually didn't help you at all, letting you out was just their temporary fun, you have been under the control of the organization, no. Once again, you helped us. And the total solar eclipse has begun, and the signal is blocked by a strong magnetic field, so we have completely lost contact with the above, sorry, this time I let you die here with me, because I am afraid alone! ”

It seems that there is too much attachment to this world, and Dawn is still talking all the time.

"What should we do?" Xie Chenhui has given up the idea of Liming, and now that he has said everything, it doesn't matter if we extract a confession from him, this is an abandoned person, and he must not know much.

"I knew there had to be a way out here, someone escaped from here many years ago." I looked at the rocks that had collapsed in the sky and the sand that had poured down and said silently, "I hope we can find there." ”

At this time, the ancient city seems to have become a post-apocalyptic scene, but none of us know what to do or where to go. They all looked at the huge hourglass indifferently, because soon it would be full. "You can't get out." Dawn suddenly shouted, "No one can get out." ”

"Xie Chenhui, let's go, don't forget, what is the purpose of our coming, we are here to find that statue, we are going out. I don't know if there's anyone out there who expects me to go out, but you do! You should get out of here. With that, I picked up my backpack and walked towards the back of the stele, where I remembered a very tall tower.

"I know that." Xie Chenhui smiled at me and picked up the backpack on the ground.

And when we walked past the dawn, I still saw him sitting there alone and talking to himself, this is a man who has no desire to live. Like a dead man. When I saw him, I seemed to see myself under the Dajiu Lake in Shennongjia, so I said casually: "There are many reasons why people are different, they come to this world in the same way, but they die in different ways. Do you think some people are afraid of death? ”

I gave him back this sentence at that dawn, when I was in despair, and I said, "No one has ever been afraid of death, they are only afraid of the way of death." After saying that, I left without looking back.

As the sand fell, the streets of the ancient city were also covered with small particles, and Xie Chenhui pulled the hat of his jacket to his head. He remembered the distribution of the streets very well, and we walked past house after house, and soon we were far away from the hourglass, which was the center of the area, and no one could have imagined what would happen after the sand filled the hourglass, and the uneasiness in our hearts also prompted us to trot, and the houses on both sides of the street were quickly skimmed backwards in our afterglow, which was the grave, if it was really as Dawn said. Are those people waiting for the resurrection in it now? Gritting my teeth, I shouted, "Hurry up, that tower." Maybe you can get out. ”

But just as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a roar, and then the whole earth of the city trembled for half a minute. "What's going on?" I asked, subconsciously looking up at the hourglass in the darkness. By this time the hourglass had been completely filled, and the weight of the sand was sinking little by little with the huge stone monument.

"Sinking?" Xie Chenhui asked, "Could it be that there is still space below." ”

"So to speak, of course it could be." As he spoke, the stele suddenly sank in its entirety after sinking a little, and in an instant the earth under our feet began to tremble, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the sky was shattering. After the sand fell from one place and shook wildly, it drifted in all directions, and huge rocks fell from the mountain hundreds of meters high, and cracks in the ground slowly expanded from a small turtle pattern until a moment later a bottomless abyss appeared at our feet. The houses began to collapse, and the graves and temples shook violently under the earthquake, and then collapsed, but under the ruins of those graves, Xie Chenhui and I saw white cocoon-like things.

Like a giant bug's nest, the white cocoons flutter slightly like a heartbeat.

"Those 'people' are in there?"

I didn't answer Xie Chenhui's question, in fact, the situation was already very clear, I looked around with wide eyes, only to see that those graves had collapsed in the "sky collapse" one by one, and all the living cocoons inside were exposed to the air, one two, ten, hundreds or thousands. At this time, I finally knew what Dawn would give up and why I would seek death.

"Boom" I heard the sound of my clothes tearing, followed by a crazy roar, it was not a sound that one person could make, it was the voice of a monster! I turned my head to look at the place where I had been before dawn, which had completely fallen, and in the closest place to the stele, many graves had collapsed, and at the same time many "people" had been reborn in a limited way. Today may be a celebration for the Gumo people, but it is definitely our misfortune.

"It's impossible to get out." Xie Chenhui took out all his weapons and looked around vigilantly.

"Actually, I don't know if that tower will let us out." I swallowed and said.

Dead silence, in the roaring sound all around, Xie Chenhui and I didn't speak, just walked quietly in the cracked street, the tower was out of reach, and there were more and more voices caught in our ears, the sound of running, the sound of things being torn, the sound of stones colliding with the ground, the sound of the ground cracking. But unexpectedly, another voice came to my ears at this time: "The people who have gone away will not return, and the souls of the dead will not return, just like the water of the Tarim River sweeping away history and dust." Finally the white clouds in the sky accompanied Allah. (To be continued......)
