Chapter 190: A New World
β... You've turned back time again. I said, looking at the blank space around me.
"Well," Ba Snake didn't deny, "the members of the Eight Horses seem to be influencing you. β
"None of anyone but me and you will feel like time has been set off, will they?"
"Yes, because I'm going back in time for you. β
"You should have heard the feather flip just now," I said, "and it thinks you might be against me." β
"It's up to you to believe it or not. β
"So, unless I open the door to No Man's Land for you, you're not going to tell me what those memories are?" I said, "the memories that relate to me." β
"Yes. "And neither the humans nor the youkai you know know the answer to my recollections." Except for me. β
"Anything that involves you, you can turn back time. I said, "It's another way of erasing memories." β
Ba Snake nodded.
"Okay..."I sat down on the spot, in fact, I could completely ignore the memory of myself, maybe it was really as Flip Feather said, that memory was just an illusion created by the snake, but there was a strong voice in my heart that tended to me to find the answer, "Although I don't know why, that answer seems to be important to me." β
"Definitely. β
"I'm going to help you open the gates to No Man's Land now," I said, pulling out my summoning pen, "Are you ready?"
There was no hesitation in the snake's eyes, and I wrote its name on the paper spirit.
"Ba Snake is always following your name, Ba Snake, I am about to cut off your connection with the human world, this will be your key to no man's land, I don't know what lies ahead, I don't know if it will be successful or not. β
Just like the last time I opened the gate to No Man's Land, the ink on the paper spirit slowly blurred into a line, one end of the line drilled into the head of the snake, and the other end was wrapped around my hand holding the pen, I could feel the line that the name had become pulling my hand, unlike the last time, this time the power of the line was significantly stronger, and the speed of writing on the paper spirit was much faster.
Countless memories unfolded in front of me along with the records of the ink on the paper spirit.
If I could still be indifferent to the human beings in my memories when I saw Ba Snake before, I can't close my mouth in surprise now.
"Ba Snake... I'm full of questions, and I want to stop my pen and ask what happened, but helplessly, the punishment skill can't be stopped in the middle of it.
I could only watch every important fragment of Ba Snake's memories - in every fragment, there was my shadow.
"Lord Yeke, would you like to take me in?"
"Lord Yek, it's time for you to have lunch. β
"Lord Yeke, which world do you want to go to next?"
"Lord Yeke, you'd better dress warmly. β
"Lord Yek, do you really want to do this?"
"Lord Yek, you are needed here. β
"Master Yek, it's okay, I'll find you again. β
"Lord Yeke, I will always be there for you. β
"Lord Yek..."
......
There are many worlds in the memories of Ba Snake that I have not seen, but the person who appeared in that world is obviously me, and the one I seem to have known Ba Snake a long time ago, that I...
But now, I don't remember anything.
The last memory of Ba Snake was a snowy day, and the self I was not familiar with stood in front of the red gate and said to Ba Snake: Goodbye.
The threads around my wrists reunited into the snake's name, and the ink slowly floated from the paper spirit and floated in midair.
Behind the snake, the gate of no man's land has been opened.
"I've opened the door," I resisted, "what the hell is going on?"
The snake's yellow eyes looked at me, and it took on the form of a human.
"Lord Yeke, I said I was here to pick you up. The snake that turned into a human resembled a boy of seven or eight years old, with short dark brown hair covering its eyes, and it lowered its head, "The time is up." β
β... Where are you going to pick me up? What are you going to do? The people you just remembered... The me in your memories isβ" I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to ask, and I seemed to have a power in my memories that I didn't know.
"You closed the Gate of Eternity at the cost of your own memories and strength," said Ba Snake, "and you should have forgotten all the previous things, but... It seems that something has awakened your past memories, and the Gate of Eternity has been reopened. β
β... "I heard a new term.
"That's not the worst," Ba Snake ignored my question, "The worst thing is that someone is eyeing the Gate of Ten Thousand Worlds and trying to force it open. β
"Wait!" The more I listened, the more confused I became, and a bad premonition appeared in my heart, "Let's not talk about any doors, remember, you said you were going to take me back..."
"Take it?" Snake turned his head to look at the gate, "You don't have to go through this gate. β
I breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the snake said, as long as I didn't leave the human world.
At this moment, I felt my hand slowly raised, as if attracted by the power of the gate, and the pen in my hand had turned into a sharp dagger, and I was about to cut the ink that connected the snake to its name.
I couldn't stop my hands.
"I just need to awaken enough memories for you," the human-turned-Ba Snake smiled, "Once your memories reach a certain level, you will awaken in the world where you were supposed to be." β
When Ba Snake's voice fell, the pen in my hand just touched the ink that connected the name and Ba Snake.
I felt a tremor in my heart, it was too late, no matter what I asked, it was too late.
The ink was cut into pieces in an instant, and the names floating in the air were re-transformed into memories recorded on the paper spirits, and the memories entered my fingertips one by one, and the snake was about to be taken away by the hollow behind it.
"In the meantime, you will sleep here until no one in this world remembers you anymore, and then you will disappear forever in this world that is not yours, and return to the world where you should be..."
The gates of No Man's Land disappeared with it.
I sat silently in the blank paper spirit space, feeling as if I had experienced a dream.
Stretched out his hands, patted his head, well, nothing seemed to have changed.
Maybe what the snake said was just a lie? What is the gate of eternity, what is the price of memory, what is sleeping.
Hope, it's just a lie.
Putting away the paper spirit space, I returned to the Bauhinia Courtyard, Zong An and Lu didn't know when they came back, they stood in front of me with Flip Feather, looking at me anxiously.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Xiao Ke, why have you been in the paper spirit space for so long!" Lu Ke hugged me directly, "We thought you got lost in it, did you already send the snake away?
"Ahh I remembered what had just happened, and I didn't know how to explain it, "Ba snake, I've already sent it away." β
"That's good, that's good," Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's rest for a while, that's all for today's training, and I'll find another youkai who wants to leave the human world in a few days." β
I nodded mechanically.
"How long are you going to sit on the ground? Feather said.
I realized that I had been sitting on the ground, and I quickly stood up, feeling dizzy in my head.
"I'm sorry, I've been in the paper spirit space for too long just now, I'm a little..."Before I finished speaking, suddenly countless scenes flooded into my brain in an instant, I had a splitting headache, I couldn't open my eyes, that world... Those people... Monster... Wanshimen!
I heard the sound of Lu Ke and Zong An talking, and the uneasy snort of the feathers, their voices became smaller and smaller, and everything in front of me became more and more blurred...
......
When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a bed in a room.
I guess it's a guest room in Zong'an's house.
My head hurts, I can't help but cover my head, everything just now comes back to my mind, those memories are like misplaced files, bits and pieces can't find a clue, the only thing that is certain is that those are what I have experienced.
Including, Wanshimen.
The memories are still increasing, I stand up with a headache, there are some things I have to talk to Zong An, he may know something.
I pushed the door open.
The oncoming demonic aura made me sweat all over my body, this was not the Bauhinia Courtyard of Zong'an, countless monsters walked back and forth on the streets, talking and laughing, as if this was a daily occurrence.
Not a single human can see as far as the eye can see.
Me, where is this?

But the inextricable story of him and the monsters continues, and "Late Night Wanshimen" has been opened, please press the number to take a seat.
