As the following figures spoke, the collector who was encased in a glass bottle smashed the wall frantically, shouting, "Impossible, how can you be a collector?" You're a window cage or an eye, right? You have the ability to show your true colors, the guy who hides his head and tail. ”

The figure sighed faintly, "Why are young people so rude now? I don't want to believe the old man's words. ”

Under the illumination of the light, the figure slowly revealed its true face.

A man with silver hair and a red Tang suit walked out, and his face was estimated to be in his seventies.

However, Wang Youcai knows very well that his face is the most unreliable, and he looks like he is in his seventies, but judging from the collector who can easily grasp the fake, the other party must not be a general, and must be an old monster who has survived for thousands of years.

The previous collector was isolated in the glass house, looking at the old man who was approaching him step by step with ill intentions, gritted his teeth and said to Wang Youcai, "Don't you really care about your father?" Get me out and I can tell you all the secrets about your dad. ”

As he spoke, a transparent vague figure appeared in the palm of his hand, and if you looked closely, you could tell that it was vaguely a man.

The memory in Wang Youcai's mind flashed back to the time when he first met the collector.

(See Chapter 75 for details)

The collector continued to bewitch, "Don't you want to see him again?" Because of the previous trade with me, I was able to keep his soul in my hands for so long. ”

"If you miss this time, you won't have the chance to see him again in your life, do you want to leave yourself with a lifetime of regrets?"

The collector felt the oppression of the silver-haired old man approaching, and although he didn't know what was going to happen, the strong uneasiness in his heart made him more and more panicked.

He hurriedly shouted, "If it's not for yourself, can you bear to let your mother miss a lifetime with him like this?" As long as you help me escape, I promise to give your father to you. ”

The silver-haired old man stood there with interest, looking at the collector's panicked look, and smiled at Wang Youcai, signaling that he could make a decision first.

After seeing this scene, the collector mistakenly thought that the old man was afraid of Ba's ability, and completely regarded Wang Youcai as the last straw, and kept saying more conditions that Wang Youcai could not refuse, in a vain attempt to save himself.

But inadvertently, the collector found the ridicule hanging from the corner of Wang Youcai's mouth, and his heart suddenly felt cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

After Wang Youcai found that the collector didn't speak, he looked at him with interest, "Why don't you say a few more words?" I'm about to be moved by what you say, and I'll agree to cooperate with you in two more sentences. ”

The collector sat down on the ground in a decadent manner, looking directly into Wang Youcai's eyes, "No, I found out that you are a natural demon, you are not prepared to cooperate with me at all, but you deliberately threw me a false expectation, so that I can achieve the expectation of empty joy." ”

After saying these words, the collector seemed to have no hope that he would be rescued, and he seemed to be much more open-minded, and asked frankly,

"But what is strange to me is that I can't see in your eyes your disregard for your loved ones, so why don't you take a gamble? I don't believe that someone of your character would dare to bet on such a thing. ”

Wang Youcai smiled and said, "Of course, it's because I know that the cards in your hand are fake, you are not a collector at all, you are an impostor." ”

Wang Youcai turned his head to look at the silver-haired old man and said, "Or should you call him Ba No. 2, right?" Mr. Favorites. ”

The collector in the bottle looked at Wang Youcai in disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

Then he stood up and pointed at the silver-haired old man and said, "I understand, you guys are united to mess with my Dao heart and then completely devour me, right?" I'm not going to let you get away with it! ”

The silver-haired old man looked at Wang Youcai curiously, and applauded lightly, "It's really terrifying!" How did you figure it out? ”

Wang Youcai also breathed a sigh of relief, he really guessed correctly.

Although I had been prepared for a long time, I was completely relieved after listening to the official seal.

Wang Youcai replied, "Of course, it's because of that fake collector, many of his behaviors are not in line with the identity of a collector, and he is too fake." ”

"The night I met my dad, I started to suspect him. Because what I saw in my dreams was what I knew, what my mother had told me. ”

"And nothing else, even I deliberately ran to other places in the dream to see what the village looked like, you guess I saw it?"

"A pure white world that seems to be unloaded, how small do you see me, and you don't even want to disguise it perfunctory."

The fake collector said in a panic inside the wall, "No way, you actually noticed everything at that time, but why didn't you show anything, and you still had to act with me for so long." Could it be that I'm trying to see if I can't make a joke? ”

Wang Youcai shook his head, "I'm not that boring, I just know that it's a dream and I don't want to break it." ”

"Not to mention, don't make your flaws in the rest of the world too obvious."

"You're too attached to Ba to care about everything else. I don't think that's the wisdom that collectors should have when they went out of their way to get him into their collection. ”

After hearing this, the silver-haired old man coughed without a trace, for he suddenly found that this seemed to be really in line with his own deeds, and perhaps this was the vice he had accidentally recorded during his long years of observing his actions.

But you must not expose it, otherwise you will be suspected of your IQ.

Wang Youcai didn't notice the mental activity of the silver-haired old man, and continued, "Of course, your biggest horse's feet, that is, the strange aura on each victim, makes Ba feel familiar, so I guess you may have something to do with Ba. ”

"And the so-called deal, it's just a trick for you to cover up people's eyes, whether it is Yang Shoucheng or Wang Ziyi, they didn't reach any deal with you, but after being hypnotized by you, they faked the appearance of a victim who was targeted by collectors."

"They have nothing to lose, but your hypnosis hides the part of their hearts that they care about the most."

"You hid Yang Shoucheng's memories and cherishing of friends, so that he became a mercenary villain; You also hid the noble justice and belief in truth, goodness and beauty in the prince's different heart, so that he has now become an unscrupulous Internet celebrity who has not achieved his goal. ”

"You can't take anything away at all, you total loser!"

After Wang Youcai said everything impassionedly, he was a fake collector with a loveless face after being exposed, and said puzzledly, "But I didn't expect that he would be so deeply involved in the play and so firmly believe that he is the so-called collector." ”

"That's because even he doesn't know who he really is, he's just a pathetic doppelganger abandoned by his body." ”

Then he looked straight at Wang Youcai and said solemnly, "Am I right?" Prison Escapee No. 43, Mr. Ba. ”

Wang Youcai was shocked in his heart, did this turn out to be the truth?

Ba ran out of Wang Youcai's body even more panicked, "Wait, this collector, have you misunderstood something?" I've always been law-abiding, how could I escape from prison! ”

And with a hint of flattery, he said, "Legendary collectors, the collection hall should be full of all kinds of souls who are constantly wailing!" In such a tight garrison, how can people flee get out? ”

The collector nodded, "So, it's always been me who underestimated you too much, so you became a shame for my collector, the only prison escapee."

Then he scratched his head and said, "Also, can you stop burying me, you are the one who spreads my bad reputation for doing all kinds of evil, stinky boy." ”

"How could my dignified collectors covet the souls of little humans, they are not worth mentioning in my eyes. The best collectibles should be the weird and strange things scattered all over the world! ”

Speaking of this, the collector paused, his eyes began to drift involuntarily in the direction of Wang Youcai, and secretly said in his heart, if it was this human being, maybe it was not unqualified to become his own collection.

He put away the bottle containing the fake collector, the doppelganger, and said, "About five hundred years ago, you escaped from my collection and left this fake to deceive me. ”

"After another two hundred years of fooling me, I finally found a clue and noticed a fake in the museum. In the end, he threw it out. ”

"In the past two hundred years, this fake, perhaps because of the influence of the eyes, actually regarded itself as a collector, and after being thrown out by me, began to make waves and ruin my reputation everywhere."

"However, because his body is still a ba, the ability to hide his body is also a must, so I pursued it for three hundred years before I found the traces he left, and then I arrested him."

The collector looked at Ba's appearance, "But it seems that in the past five hundred years, you have also had your own opportunities, not only have you lost most of your memories, but even your abilities have been forgotten so much, and you are even inferior to your doppelganger, which is also a mockery!" ”

Then he stretched out his big hand to the chin, "But just right, let me take you with me, which showcase I have always kept for you." ”

With the collector's move, the shadows that continue to emerge behind it gradually condense into the outline of the collection, and Ba is powerless to resist.

Wang Youcai was very anxious in his heart, although this time may be the best situation for him to get out of this incomprehensible chin, but there was still a faint flash of unwillingness in his heart.

After knowing the magnificence of this world, Wang Youcai naturally didn't want to live the ordinary life he once had to live again, he didn't want to and didn't want to.

After hesitating again and again, Wang Youcai stood in front of Ba and said boldly, "Collector, I want to make a deal with you, I don't know if you are willing!" ”

The collector thought of his previous thoughts in his mind, and couldn't help but snicker in joy for a few seconds, and said, "Are you willing to exchange your soul for his freedom?" ”

"Others may not have the qualifications, but I have to say, you're funny, so I agreed to this deal, what else do you ......"

Listening to the collector say to himself, Wang Youcai hurriedly interrupted him, "Wait, I'm sorry." You seem to have misunderstood something? I'm not willing to trade me for my freedom! ”

Hearing this, the collector also showed some disappointed expressions, "In this case, then I'm not interested in your transaction, I'm going to continue to do it." ”

Wang Youcai's heart was galloping with thousands of horses, wasn't it, who said just now that he was not interested in the souls of ordinary humans? Why did you get to me, you want me in every possible way.

Ba originally thought that Wang Youcai was going to sacrifice himself in exchange for a chance to escape, but he was moved in his heart, and he almost blurted out that he should go directly and not look back.

Then I heard Wang Youcai's follow-up speech, and my face darkened all of a sudden, and I sighed how I became so simple.

But in any case, Wang Youcai is willing to save himself, which is quite a good move.

Wang Youcai looked at the collector's somewhat impatient expression and the dark shadow of the collection hall behind him, and hurriedly said, "The deal I want to make is that I am willing to exchange other strange talk for the opportunity to be free." How is it? ”

The collector scratched his head, finally lowered his hands, and said, "Well, that sounds good." ”

"But why do I need so many exhibits now, I just want to keep what I'm interested in! Or give me your soul, and I promise I won't be embarrassed again. ”

Wang Youcai shook his head frantically, "No, then I'd rather give up this deal." ”

After weighing it again, the collector sighed heavily, "Okay, I agree to your deal." ”

Then he turned to Ba and said, "You're free, but it's only temporary, you need to pay a weird talk every year to get the right to continue living freely, understand?" ”

After seeing Ba's obedient nod, the collector said to Wang Youcai, "In addition, there is one more point. If you have nothing to gain before the end of the period, I will punish you by taking your soul. ”

Wang Youcai nodded, the moment he said that he wanted to trade, he knew that he might face such an end, but he still did not regret it.

Compared to continuing to know the truth about the world, such a price is not unacceptable.

And in this way, he will completely become a person on the same ship as Ba.

After speaking, the collector patted Ba on the shoulder, "You have to be glad that you are a pretty good host." Goodbye then."

Turning around to leave, after taking a few steps, he silently retreated.

Ba looked at the collector nervously, could it be that he regretted that he wanted to tear up the promise? Under absolute power, any rules and regulations will seem too ridiculous.

The collector took out the bottle from his pocket, which held Ba's doppelganger. "Since you're going to work under me, I'll give this back to you as a welcome gift, otherwise I'm really worried that you won't be able to arrest him even if you encounter strange stories."

After handing the bottle to Ba, he explained, "Although you have forgotten most of your abilities, this doppelganger is like another portable hard drive to help you back up everything you used to have, as long as you absorb him, at least it can help you recover some of your memories." ”

"This bottle also contains some of my abilities, and if you put strange stories in it, they will completely lose all ability to resist, understand?"

Wang Youcai and Ba nodded together.

Only then did the collector leave the factory completely.

Ba looked at this bottle and only felt that he had really made a lot of money this time. Not only is it backed by the Collector's Tree, there will be a lot of opportunities for the fox to fake the tiger in the future, but also the opportunity to recover the memory. This trip is really profitable.

But when I looked down and saw the figure in the bottle, I couldn't help but fall into silence, how should I absorb this thing? I don't think the collector explained it when he left.

Is it possible to just throw it in your mouth and chew it and swallow it? As soon as he thought of this, he felt a chill all over his body, if he really dared to do this, this level of bloodiness might be 404.

No, let's do it another way.

The collector watched Ba's contemplation in the collection, and his memory couldn't help but drift back a thousand years ago.

At that time, Ba raised his hands and said excitedly that he would voluntarily enter the collection to feel the experience of a prisoner.

The collector said solemnly, "Do you know what you're talking about? My collection isn't a resort, and once you go in, you'll never get a chance to leave. ”

"Let's go, I'm not interested in joking with you."

Ba said seriously, "I know what I'm doing, you just need to hold me up." Don't worry, I'll run away sooner or later. ”

The incident returned to the present again, and the collector looked at Ba and Wang Youcai beside him, and said silently, "Could it be that all this is your plan?" I'm curious to see what you want to do this time out of the ordinary. ”

"And what kind of role will that human play in all the stories?"

Wang Youcai patted Ba on the shoulder, and was surprised to find that this time he actually had a physical body, and he was no longer in an illusory state like a puff of smoke before.

He asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Ba angrily slapped Wang Youcai's hand, "Busy, don't bother me." I'm thinking about what to do with this bottle! ”

After patting Wang Youcai's hand, he was surprised to find that he actually had an entity, and immediately shouted, "Hey, have you seen it?" I can touch you now, I have a body. ”

Wang Youcai asked curiously, "What about the bottle?" Where did you hide him? ”

Ba said disdainfully, "You don't know what the point is!" Can't you just care about me first, thinking about that insignificant bottle? ”

"And isn't the bottle in my hand? What kind of eyes do you have! ”

Ba said and raised his hand, but looking at the empty palm, after falling into silence for two seconds, he screamed, "Where's the bottle?" Where did it go? What about such a big bottle, how can you say that it is gone. ”

"Will collectors use this as an excuse to make things difficult for us? Why don't we run away? ”

Wang Youcai patted his head, "What do you think, you think it's so easy to run." ”

Then he pointed to Ba's arm and stumbled, "Isn't the bottle here?" But how did it get in? ”

Ba looked down and saw that the bottle had merged with his arm, and was still swimming upward, heading towards his head.

Ba frantically slapped his arm, "Wait, it's not okay there, stop it!" Bastard. ”

While the two were in a hurry, the window cage walked in step by step, and before Ba could even notice it, he pointed to his arm, and the bottle really stopped moving.

When Wang Youcai was curious about what was going on, he looked up and found the window cage with his head tilted, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Frankly speaking, Wang Youcai has a very bad impression of the window cage, thinking that this person does not care about the lives of ordinary people at all, as if everything is a pawn for him to show his erudition.

Although he does have this ability, he doesn't need to care about ordinary people. But the way of ignoring sentient beings in the window cage still makes Wang Youcai feel uncomfortable.

However, he also knew that he was not capable of fighting the other party now, so he had to hide everything in his heart.

But obviously, Wang Youcai has forgotten the ability of the window cage and is omniscient and omnipotent.

The window cage looked at Wang Youcai suspiciously, "Human, why are you so wary of me?" I didn't hurt you in the slightest as far as I can remember, and I helped you a lot just now. ”

"Even when I was in Dawang Village before, I don't think I treated you badly. I welcomed you with my favorite play, and I took the initiative to give you the ending of the script to be revised at will, didn't I? ”

The window cage poked his finger on Wang Youcai's head, feeling his thoughts, and continued to say puzzledly, "Do you hate me because of those works of art?" But it shouldn't be, it's me who completely sublimated their limited lives and made their value reflected. ”

"You know, in the endless years, anyone's trajectory is so insignificant, and I helped them leave their traces, so that more people can appreciate them."

"How can you be angry with me because of the lowly sorrows of these human beings!"

Wang Youcai looked at the window cage and asked sincerely, and finally couldn't hold back, and said loudly, "Yes, in your eyes, you helped them sublimate their short lives." But have you ever considered the torture they suffered during the sublimation process? ”

"They're not marble or clay, they're all living people, they hurt, they have joys and sorrows, why do you think they'll thank you for your assertions?"

The window cage looked at Wang Youcai puzzled, "But they will be in pain, what does it matter to you?" Can you feel it too? ”

Wang Youcai replied loudly, "Those works of art in your mouth, they are all my kind, they are all living human beings, why can't I feel their pain!" ”

The window cage pointed to the shape of the glass bottle that appeared on Wang Youcai's arm and said, "But you are not a human being, you are my kind." ”

Wang Youcai looked at the glass bottle that came out of his arm, and fell into a deep confusion, yes, can I still be regarded as a human being like this? Who the hell am I?
