Chapter 7: Cause and Effect
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the rushing bolts were slashed and bombarded into the wall, and the whole wall was dented into a large piece. The dust fell, and a man wrapped in a black raincoat stood in front of the broken door, staring at the two of them with blood-red eyes.
"Who are you?"
Xia Mosheng shouted angrily, clenched the two kitchen knives in his hand, and protected Zhang Xinyi behind him, because of fear, the whole body trembled involuntarily.
"Hahahaha! Who am I? I'm the one who came to kill you, Ringing Spirit. ”
The man in black laughed maniacally and walked towards the two of them.
"What? Are you also a ringer?"
Xia Mosheng was shocked, and then he remembered that in the spirit world, the spirit ring had told him that the person who had the spirit ring was called the spirit ringman, which meant that the person in front of him was a terrifying existence with the spirit ring.
"Oh, you can't sense my presence?"
The voice of the man in black was a little playful, and he stopped three meters in front of Xia Mosheng and the others, and his expression could not be seen under the mask of black terror.
"Even if you're a spirit ringer, why kill me?"
Xia Mosheng looked at the man in black with a nervous face, and the man in black laughed: "Why? ”
The man in black raised the katana in his hand as he spoke, and Xia Mosheng hurriedly shouted: "Slow! Since the person you want to kill is me, can you let her go?"
"Oh, you care about her?"
A strange voice sounded, and Xia Mosheng only felt a flower in front of him, and the man in black disappeared. After an instant, there was a huge pain in his back, and then the whole person flew up and slammed into the coffee table.
"Ahh······h
"Let her go!"
Charmerson roared and got up in pain. At this time, Zhang Xinyi was held in the hands of the man in black, and a sharp dagger was pressed against her throat, and a trace of bright red blood flowed down. The man in black shouted almost frantically, "You care about her very much, what kind of expression would you have if I killed her?" ”
"Don't, don't hurt her, please, if you want me to die, then I'll die. ”
Xia Mosheng roared, raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and cut his throat with a knife, and the whole person fell backwards with blood spraying. Zhang Xinyi was stunned by the scene in front of her, and looked at Xia Mosheng who was lying in a pool of blood stupidly, without making a sound, and her face lost color.
The man in black also seemed to be overwhelmed by Xia Mosheng's sudden suicide, the dagger and katana in his hand fell to the ground with a clear sound, he slowly took a few steps back, knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, and roared unwillingly in the sky.
"Hey, you're dead again, it's useless. ”
In the spirit world, the sound of the spirit ring sounded in the gray void, and Xia Mosheng saw a translucent little boy sitting on a rocking chair and swaying back and forth.
In front of him was a white jade table with a set of tea sets on it, water was boiling in the teapot on the electric stove, and the delicate teacups were filled with golden tea, wisps of fresh air wafted out of the teacups, and the rich and sweet smell spread to the nose, and the smell was intoxicating.
At this time, Xia Mosheng realized that he actually had a body, he could feel the taste, and he was no longer a void like before, only consciousness existed. It's just that his body is the same as the little boy's, translucent, and he is a little puzzled, looking at the little boy with doubts.
He was taken aback by this: "You... You're a spiritual ring, why do you look exactly like when I was a child?"
"What's so surprising that I am one with you now, and I can see your past, and of course I can become you. Originally, I wanted to become a young man, but when you become an adult, you are too ugly, and you are still cute when you were a child, hehe. ”
The little boy said with a wrenched face, took a sip of tea, and lay down leisurely on the rocking chair.
"You... Why do you and I have bodies this time? Is it because your strength has regained?"
"Of course, but only a little bit of recovery, I'm not afraid to tell you that every time you die, I can recover a small part of my strength. Just as your first death awakened me from my slumber and gave you the power to be reborn, the second and third deaths gave me enough power to open the spirit world, but I couldn't talk to you yet.
Until your fourth death, my power will be enough for me to pull you into the spirit world and be able to talk to you, but only consciously, not yet to shape you and my body. And your fifth death, this time, my power can finally allow us to meet in our current half-soul form.
I know you're wondering, if you continue to die, will I be able to fully regain my strength? Theoretically, yes, but the reality is that my current power doesn't allow you to be reborn indefinitely. And with my current strength, you only have two chances left to be born again, and if you die again, it will be real death, and I will fall into a deep sleep again. Of course, my current strength can't resurrect that little girlfriend of yours, so don't ask me that question. ”
"Is there any other way to restore your strength? If your strength is restored, can it regenerate Xinyi?"
"Of course you have! It's just that you're too weak to do it right now. Hey, I'm so pitiful, to meet a weak chicken and a spirit man like you, the heavens will kill me. ”
The little boy got up from his rocking chair and walked around shaking his head and sighing. Xia Mosheng asked unwillingly: "What is the way? As long as I can save Xinyi, I have nothing to fear." ”
"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, if you want to restore my strength quickly, there's only one way, and that's to find other ring-ringers and take their rings for me to devour. All spirit rings are forged from the Open Heaven God Axe, and there is no more effective way to do this than to devour the spirit rings of the same origin. ”
The little boy looked at Xia Mosheng with disgust and said, "Losing the spirit ring of a person who has lost his spirit ring is like a fish leaving the water, which can only be devoured by predators on the shore. It's a pity that you're too weak, look at you this time, you were forced to break off by a nobody, shame, really shame. ”
Xia Mosheng was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "I understand, I finally understand why the man in black wants to kill me, it turns out that everything is because of you, it is your damn broken ring, he is here for you." If it weren't for you, Xinyi wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have had to flee.
If I hadn't bought you in the antique street, I wouldn't have seen what happened to me, and I wouldn't have watched Xinyi die in front of me again and again, do you know the pain? The pain of watching your beloved die in front of you, and you can't do anything about it, you know? ”
Xia Mosheng cursed loudly, looking at the spirit ring with hatred in his eyes, and after a while, Xia Mosheng suddenly laughed: "I finally understand, hahahaha, as long as I don't buy you, I can cut off this cause, and there is no current effect, and I can solve this game, hahahaha." ”
He finally figured out that this is a cause and effect relationship, if you want to get out of the current predicament, you have to start from the source, cut off the cause, and the cause of all this starts when you buy the spirit ring in the antique market.
The little boy in the Ringed Ring's face changed dramatically and shouted, "······Wait!
Before he finished speaking, the whole world suddenly shattered, and Xia Mosheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ring in his hand in front of him in a daze.
"Do you want to buy it? After watching it for so long, if you don't buy it, go away quickly, don't delay my business." ”
The owner of the antique shop shouted impatiently, and Xia Mosheng suddenly laughed, threw the ring back to the boss, laughed and left, shouting like crazy: "I succeeded, I finally became, Xinyi, Xinyi." ”
