Lu Lie finally made his own decision, and he chose to stay in this world. If it is true as Li Yuan said, there is no difference between reality and illusion. Then, Lu Lie would rather choose a reality that is more gentle to him, a world where there are no giant trees, no demons, and no death threats to his existence.

On the way back, he was relieved. It's over, this nightmarish life, until this moment is finally over. Fourteen years ago, on that snowy night, he saw his family and brothers killed by horse thieves one by one, losing his family and home, and since then he has wandered the world to Zhushi Town, but he is forced to climb a giant tree, struggling to survive between a series of inhuman lives and humans more terrifying than monsters. If a person's life is a painting, some people live as a landscape, while others choose to become an oil painting, and Lu Lie's first 14 years of life are a black ink painting with no blank space; if human life is a novel, then Lu Lie's life is a black humor that even the most ridiculous horror novelist cannot write.

Now, he finally has parents who love him, has his own home, and even has a childhood sweetheart, a baby bride. He no longer has to worry about living like before, he doesn't have to worry about the weather, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he can see the sun tomorrow.

Speaking of which...... Should he still be grateful to the giant tree?

If he hadn't been forced to climb this giant tree, how could he have taken the elevator and had the opportunity to make a wish in front of the space-time machine? If he hadn't experienced this nightmarish journey, he might have been one of the 30 million homeless people in Jiangbei for the rest of his life, and finally died in a snowy night because he couldn't stand the freeze and died nameless.

Lu Lie laughed to himself.

However, is the top of the giant tree really just a space-time machine?

Is what you see the top of a real giant tree?

No matter, who knows. Although there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, life is not a novel, and every doubt that cannot be encountered will eventually be revealed. Anyway, that ghost place, Lu Lie doesn't want to go back in his life.

When he was about to arrive at his village, Lu Lie's eyes suddenly changed. For he saw that in the direction of the distant village, a great fog had been alighted.

It was as if it was on fire.

"That's ......"

Lu Lie didn't know what had happened in the short day and night he had left his village. Or is it because of the chaos of the space-time chain, and he has been swept into some new space-time line? It's just that the latter is not very likely, because every time the space-time line changes drastically, the time of the next change will be delayed, and as Lu Lie stays in this world for longer and longer, the number of changes in his space-time line will become less and less, and finally it will completely coincide with this kind of normal space-time line.

Lu Lie's heart thumped wildly. For the first time in his life, he felt such fear, he was afraid that his hard-won family would be gone, and he was afraid that he had finally made a decision, only to find out in the end that it was still just a flash in the pan.

Striding to the end, Lu Lie ran wildly. As he got closer and closer to his village, Lu Lie gradually saw sporadic firelight flickering in the black mist, and the choking smoke became more and more intense as he ran wildly. After passing through one obstacle after another, Lu Lie finally saw what worried him the most-

A monstrous fire ignited in the sky above Lujia Village!

The fire was so staggering that it had enveloped most of the village. Most of the houses of the villagers in Lujia Village are made of wooden stakes and straw, mixed with a few stone slabs. A little spark can burn up half of the sky in the blink of an eye, let alone such a raging fire? It is already unrealistic to want to extinguish this monstrous fire first, so you can only break into the fire first, and you can save one by one.

Why did such a terrible fire ignite in a good village?

Lu Lie was thinking about his parents at the moment, and he was eager to save people, and he didn't think about it so much. Immediately, ignoring his already aching legs, he forcibly increased his speed, wanting to get closer to the village to see what was going on. By the time he was less than a thousand steps away from the village, the thick black smoke had already made his eyes start to moisten slightly. At this moment, he heard a faint human voice.

Lu Lie gradually slowed down, and even avoided behind the obstacle on the side.

If others encounter such a situation, only that there are survivors of the fire, they will definitely speed up their pace and rush into the village to try to save people. But Lu Lie is shrewd and suspicious by nature, and his mind is not comparable to ordinary people?—— under the extremely urgent situation, he still has time to secretly think in his heart: The human voices under this kind of fire are either hoarse and shouting for help, or roaring and commanding to save people, and occasionally people who are dying sit and wait to die, and the small * sound made has already been ruthlessly swallowed by the fire. But the human voice I heard just now, although sparse, was not clear. But what he was sure of was that the voice was calm and spoke at an ordinary pace, not at all like the voice made when he was in the middle of a fire.

Could it be that there is another hidden reason for the fire in this village.

Lu Lie was anxious in his heart, but he forcibly endured the restlessness in his heart, pressed his body firmly behind a boulder, and watched the changes.

However, when he thought that the only two relatives in this world were still missing in the fire, how could he calm down? Lu Lie could only keep admonishing himself in his heart: Wait a little longer, endure a little longer! If after a while, there is no change, he will rush into the fire to find his parents. Even if you fight for this life, you have to save the second elder!

But a moment later, something really happened.

I heard the constant noise from the opposite side of the fire, the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, the sound of metal crashing, the cries of children and women for help, and the sound of countless rough voices laughing proudly......

"Horse thief!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying, his pupils shrank into two points, and his face became extremely hideous.

It must have been a group of damned horse thieves who attacked their village and set fire to the houses.

Hell, hell!

Lu Lie slammed the stone wall on one side of the punch, the upper and lower rows of teeth clenched loudly, and his eyes were almost bleeding. He would never have imagined that fourteen years ago, it was a group of horse thieves who completely changed his fate, and fourteen years later, he thought that everything could be back on track, but he didn't expect that it would be another group of horse thieves who wanted to take everything away from him!

"Damn! What about the officers and soldiers around here! Are they all rice buckets!"
