Ninth Rim Question
"The Detention Center of the Book of Life and Death of the Underworld....?"
The young man repeated Tang Yuanyuan's question with some surprise, and his eyes couldn't help but look at her a few more times, as if he had some guess, but he didn't show any other movements, but quickly answered:
"I remember... I've heard that the Life and Death Book Detention Center is a forbidden place for the souls of the dead, and only natural ghosts can approach it, because many of the things recorded in the Life and Death Book are taboos that the deceased souls cannot know. ”
"But it is said that even natural ghosts... In fact, it is impossible to enter the life and death book detention center... I don't know why it's something that is left in the underworld, but the only thing that can enter there is a living person... So all the guards there will only exist on the periphery. ”
This is the same as the information given by the fourth...
The first question she asked was the reason for this, because she was a little unsure about what she was going to do.
Although No. 4 said lightly that he wanted her to break into life and death, she knew in her heart that this matter was definitely not that simple. And Number Four doesn't seem to have any intention of giving her too much information, so she has no choice but to collect a little more information on her own.
And she hadn't been able to fully trust the information given by Number Four before, after all, she couldn't just listen to what one subject said in this unfamiliar environment.
At this time, she listened to the young man's words and silently compared the news she had received before in her heart, confirming that what No. 4 said before was not one-sided, and she felt a little relieved.
So she nodded after thinking for a moment, and then asked, "In other words, there will be no other existence in the Life and Death Detention Center, right?" ”
"Should... That is true. The young man replied with some hesitation, "After all, no one in this underworld can enter that detention center. ”
Tang Yuanyuan nodded, and quickly asked a question that he was very concerned about:
"Then do you know what happened to the living people who went in in the past?"
Since the ghosts of the underworld know that there are only living people who can enter the Life and Death Thin Detention Center, it means that there must have been forerunner predecessors in the past, and Tang Yuanyuan really hopes to hear a little about the experience of the predecessors.
But she could not hear the answer she wanted from the young man's mouth, but saw that the young man's face in front of her had become very bad again, and as soon as she felt a sigh in her heart, she heard the other man reply:
"The end... No one knows what will happen to them... Because it is said that the living people who have been in the life and death book detention center... Only one person has ever come out of it! All the others have gone and never returned, and they have all been locked up in the Life and Death Book Detention Center and have not been heard from again!! ”
This... He hadn't told me anything like that before...
Tang Yuanyuan's heart was half cold when she heard this, and she felt that she had embarked on a road of no return with no turning back, she resisted the urge to turn around and question No. 4, and her expression was not very good, she frowned, and asked again:
"Then do you know how that person came out..."
Before Tang Yuanyuan finished asking, he was unexpectedly interrupted by No. 4.
"There's no need to ask him about that kind of thing, he won't know." He said, "You don't have to worry about it, because the so-called only human being who came out of the detention center is the one I'm looking for." ”
"How she returned from the Life and Death Book Detention Center, only I know that secret, and it is futile for you to inquire from other places."
No. 4 paused slightly when he said this, and a little chill swept over the ghost boy in his red eyes, and then fell on Tang Yuanyuan.
"It's good for people like you to be vigilant, but you have no choice but to trust me. Tang Yuanyuan, you have to understand one thing, it is not good for me to harm you. ”
"Of course." Tang Yuanyuan heard the warning in the fourth word, but he didn't show any fear, but said seriously, "Of course I believe you, after all, if your purpose is just to harm me, you don't need to cause so much trouble to yourself." ”
"But everyone has information blind spots, right? I'm just trying to know a little bit more about what I'm up against, and what if there's anything you don't know? ”
She finished this sentence without blushing and heartbeat, and then wisely chose to skip some of the last words that she originally wanted to ask, and quickly changed the topic to the young man.
"Then the next question, what you said about losing your mind if you don't absorb the aura... Is it common to all ghosts? ”
Seeing that Tang Yuanyuan had changed the topic, the young man didn't dare to slack off, and immediately shook his head:
"No... Usually only the souls of the dead will be like this... Because our souls are different from natural ghosts, our souls do not belong to the underworld, and it takes a certain price to stay here for a long time... So in fact, many dead souls will also choose to be in a hurry to reincarnate..."
It seems that there is really a big difference between the so-called "revenant" and the "natural ghost" of the underworld... He always seems to mention such distinctions... And it feels like the status of a natural ghost should be a higher level in the underworld...
But what is it that the soul body does not belong to the underworld? Are different souls adapting differently to this shore and the other?
Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but have some associations when he listened to the young man's words, but this association only made the problems more and more.
Originally, she wanted to learn about the current situation of the underworld or the ghosts living here, after all, it was an instinct to want to understand more in a strange environment, but sure enough, these are not things that can be explained in a few words.
So Tang Yuanyuan could only silently digest this knowledge that surprised her a little in her heart, and while secretly glancing at No. 4 not far away, seeing that the other party's patience seemed to be coming to an end, she hurriedly sighed again, throwing away those complicated thoughts in her mind, and planned to end her inquiry quickly.
Of course, she didn't waste this opportunity.
So she coughed lightly and asked the question she had thought about the most in the morning:
"So the last question, you said that my aura is very special, what kind of special is it in your perception?"
It seemed that he didn't expect Tang Yuanyuan to ask such a thing, the young man kneeling on the ground was obviously stunned, this time there was a longer silence than before, and finally he seemed to frown and spit out something after thinking about it a few times:
"I may be offended by saying that... The breath on your body is alluring... It's the kind of allure that can't be resisted by ghosts... But it doesn't just seem like you've got a lot of spiritual power... It's as if your soul itself has a strange attraction to spirits..."
"Although it's just my own feelings... But I've had some different experiences... Well... I've actually felt a similar attraction to the scent of yours... And that attraction comes from..."
"That's enough."
Number Four suddenly interrupted the young ghost's words with a cold voice.
After he interrupted, the young man suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking, and Tang Yuanyuan, who was listening carefully, couldn't help but turn his head to look at No. 4 inexplicably.
What are you doing! I get to the point!
She shouted so anxiously in her heart, but when she turned around, she could only look at No. 4, who deliberately interrupted the young man's words for some reason, with an aggrieved look, but the latter's eyes didn't seem to fall on her, and just said to herself:
"I've allowed you to waste enough time, Tang Yuanyuan."
"I don't have to know what you shouldn't know, my patience is running out. If you don't let him go, I'll know about his life. ”
"This..."
Tang Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard this, she heard anger from No. 4's words, so she didn't dare to ask anything more, her eyes fell back on the young man's body and quickly glanced at the other party.
"My question is over...! Hurry up and get out! ”
She lowered her voice and said something to the young man, who nodded again and again, stood up from the ground, and bowed to her cautiously:
"I will remember your kindness! My name is Mu Li, if you have any help in the future, I will definitely help..."
Tang Yuanyuan nodded a little anxiously, and then said in his heart while looking at the back of the young man leaving, he shouldn't need your help, after all, what big living person will come to the underworld often if he has nothing to do?
She was complaining in her heart, and suddenly realized something from the young man's words.
"He said his name was Muri... But isn't he a dead soul? Before Four, it seemed that there was no name for the ghosts..."
Tang Yuanyuan frowned slightly and muttered to himself, and then was quickly pulled back by the voice of No. 4.
"The ghosts are gone, what's the matter, still staring at the place where he left?" He sneered, with a subtle impatience in his tone that he hadn't even noticed, "Do you care about that revenant?" ”
Tang Yuanyuan turned around when he heard this, looked at No. 4 and shook his head.
"I don't really care, I just think it's a little strange..."
She stopped halfway through, for some reason she had a gut feeling that Number Four wouldn't want to hear her talk about the boy anymore.
And it's not just the teenager who's weird... Because she realized that when she asked the boy the last question, the answer he didn't get out seemed to be deliberately interrupted by Four.
She didn't know why the other party did this, but she didn't dare to ask more.
"Strange or not, a lot of things have nothing to do with you, do they?" Four said, "It's important for you to complete my mission and get out of here. After all, humans are not fit to stay in a place like this for too long, so you should hurry. ”
When he said this, he suddenly paused, looked at Tang Yuanyuan's face and was silent for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice and said a word:
"Tang Yuanyuan, don't know too much about things you shouldn't know, the more you know about some things, the greater the probability that you will be affected and involved, understand?"
She looked into Four's eyes and nodded, not saying anything more.
"So, let's go to the center of the Diwang Mansion, I think you're also in a hurry to get rid of me, an annoying guy, right?"
I don't know if it was because he was satisfied with Tang Yuanyuan's reaction, the tone of his words finally eased a lot compared to before, and then he raised his hand and waved his hand, beckoning Tang Yuanyuan to follow his steps.
Tang Yuanyuan walked quietly to keep up with the footsteps of No. 4 who was walking in front, and then sighed silently, raising his eyes to look at the tallest palace-like building in the underworld in the distance.
