51. There is always an abyss in front of you
I let down my guard against Zhong Qiu and walked side by side with him.
Soon, we came to the end of the road, and there was only a wall at the end.
"Did you get to the end?"
I touched the wall in front of me in confusion, it was thick, and I tapped it lightly with my fingers, not like a hollow one.
I turned my head and looked at Zhong Qiu inquiringly.
Zhong Qiu shook his hair indifferently, and then pulled out his great sword.
"It's okay, look at me."
Zhong Qiu used all his strength to put his sword against the wall, and the wall collapsed with a bang.
When the dust cleared, I looked up behind the wall.
There is no way.
Behind the walls is a black abyss, bottomless.
I picked up the rocks from the ground and threw them down.
"Hum~"
The stone did not make a "clanging" sound when it fell, and it took me an unknown amount of time before it made a muffled buzzing sound.
"It seems that this road is not a living road."
I turned around and looked at Zhong Qiu.
"Let's go the other way."
Zhong Qiu put away his sword unconcernedly, and then nodded.
We returned the way we came, and at the end of the fork we saw four people standing by in place.
But......
When the four of them saw us, there was no joy in their eyes, but alertness.
The four of them watched me and Zhong Qiu waitingly.
I reacted immediately, then turned to face Zhong Qiu.
Outcome......
They walked quickly together with Zhong Qiu and looked at me together......
"What are you doing here?"
I'm a little puzzled.
Jiang Shu looked at me with some anger.
"Don't lie to anyone, we know you're a ghost."
???
At this time, my mind was full of question marks, and I especially wanted to know how Jiang Shu and how they determined that I was a ghost.
As puzzled as I am, there is Zhong Qiu.
"Why is she a ghost?"
Jiang Wencheng looked at Zhong Qiu cautiously.
"You don't remember?"
Zhong Qiu asked a little confused.
"What should I remember?"
Warmth stared at me like a great enemy, the wind blade in Hu Bin's hand was already gathering in the palm of his hand, Jiang Shu quietly hid behind Hu Bin, and I frowned.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Wencheng explained to Zhong Qiu.
"At that time in Xitang, Li Ling was captured by a red-clothed ghost, and his soul has been attached to Zizi's body, and we had no choice, so we decided to find a way, and then find a way to go back to save Li Ling."
Hu Bin also looked at Zhong Qiu and nodded.
"At that time, you asked the four of us to stand by in place, and then go to find a way out by ourselves, there is no Li Ling by your side at all."
Zhong Qiu was shocked when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable holding his head.
Even more uncomfortable than him was me.
I clearly remembered at the time that it was Jiang Shu who was possessed by Zizi's body, and then I rescued her and obtained the soul stone for them...... Is all this fake?
I looked at myself, but at this time, I was in a soul state!
I'm floating translucent in the air!
Don't......
Am I really possessed by Zizi? So what am I now?
"Don't talk nonsense with her, whether she is a human or a ghost, she is our enemy."
After Jiang Wencheng said this, he manipulated the thunder and lightning to attack me.
"Don't!"
Before Zhong Qiu's words were finished, the thunderbolt had already smashed towards me, and I flew to dodge, and the thunderbolt exploded next to me and fell to the ground, and the ground was charred black.
Before I could catch my breath, a large wind blade struck, and I dodged in a panic, but fortunately I was in a soul state now, which caused my speed to increase, but the wind blade that flew by my face still made my face hurt.
I took the time to glance at Zhong Qiu, he looked at me with a sad face, and after shouting this sentence, it was like using all his strength, and it was difficult to stand up straight at this time.
It's like...... He had already remembered that my soul was still in my body.
Wrong......
My gut feeling is not right, if it was really me who possessed Zizi's body in the first place, and they didn't think of a way to save me, then what happened to my previous memory?
I killed Jiang Shu pretending to be in the haunted house, is all this fake?
But I didn't feel a trace of yin qi from them, but my own yin qi was raging.
No way!
I glanced at them quickly, then dodged the warmth covered in golden streaks and rushed towards another fork in the road.
……
The moment I entered the fork in the road, a wall appeared in front of me.
"Is there no way?"
I touched the wall, exactly like the wall at the first fork.
"Look at me!"
I looked back in surprise and saw Zhong Qiu.
Zhong Qiu still looked unconcerned, he walked in front of the wall and drew his sword.
The sword slashed into the wall, and the wall shattered.
When the dust cleared, I looked behind the wall, and sure enough, there was still an abyss where I couldn't see my fingers.
"What now?"
Zhong Qiu stared at the abyss with some embarrassment, while I, with some solemnity, stared at Zhong Qiu.
I can't tell if it's a dream or a reality, and I even have some doubts about whether we didn't kill the red-clothed ghost at all, and if I really possessed Zizi's body, waiting for Zhong Qiu and them to save me.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhong Qiu stepped forward with a smile, intending to reach out and touch my hair, but I dodged it all at once.
Zhong Qiu withdrew his hand without saying anything, but his expression was a little lonely, and I was inexplicably distressed when I saw it.
"I'm not ......"
I instinctively wanted to explain, but Zhong Qiu smiled heartlessly.
"It doesn't matter. So, let's go back and try it out on a different path? ”
I turned my head and looked at the way we had come, and I struggled a little, and I was really afraid that when I went back, I would see those four men again, and they would look like great enemies to me.
"Zhong Qiu, you say, can there be ghosts that can affect people's memories?"
Zhong Qiu seriously lowered his head and thought for a while, and then told me.
"Powerful ghosts can affect people's minds, and they can even affect the minds of many people at the same time, and those so-called memories that are affected may not exist at all."
I nodded, and thought to myself.
Perhaps, we have encountered a more powerful ghost this time, so powerful that even Zhong Qiu and I have been tricked unconsciously.
"We're not going back."
I said to Chung Qiu, because no matter how we go back, I will be treated like a ghost.
Zhong Qiu looked at me in surprise.
"Not going back? So what to do? ”
I stared at the abyss ahead of me, it was like a whirlpool, and I was deeply attracted to it.
Jump off.
Jumping off is a relief.
One strange thought after another expanded in my mind.
yes, jump off.
Jump down and it's all over.
Maybe I can go back to the one with the red-clad ghost.
Maybe I'll be able to go back to before I went into the haunted house.
Anyway, it's better than being treated like a ghost here.
I looked at Zhong Qiu and smiled at him.
"Let's jump."
