The sky was a black nothingness, dotted with speckled light, as if there were countless stars circulating, and as if there were countless mist in the air.

On the surface of the earth, there is a river of silver light, which cannot see the source or the end, as if it was born from the light of the source of this world, flowing quietly like a mighty stream of light. This river seems to encompass everything in the world, encompassing the whole world and reflecting it in it.

"Here it is, the river of life......"

Before Liuli led them here, Yang Yun and Zhang Jie had thought about the specific situation of the River of Life many times.

In all fairness, as members of the reincarnation team and have experienced many worlds, they can be said to have seen a certain amount of the world, and they are not the kind of dirt buns in the countryside. But when the two of them really saw this endless, beautiful river shining with silver light, they couldn't help but be amazed.

The Ganges River in Hindu legend, from which every human being is born and every human being dies, is just an exaggeration, but the river of life in front of us has turned the exaggeration into a true fact.

The River of Life, the Well of Eternity, the Great Soul, the Akasha Records...... This long river represents the destination of all things, the reincarnation of the world, and the flow of all things. The silver water flowing in the river, if you feel it carefully, you can realize in your heart that this flowing river water, in fact, every drop is made of blank souls and obsessions, and only needs a little refinement to turn into the purest spiritual energy.

“…… I really didn't expect that there would be such a place, and it would be at our feet. ”

Zhang Jie couldn't help but look back at the exit of the elevator, after 10032-2 opened an elevator hidden inside the wall in the core control room, and within a few minutes of several people sitting on it, they came to the bank of this extremely beautiful river of life—and such an important place was so close to everyone.

"Don't look like it's been a long time here, in fact, just now, we have passed through the surface of the world and come to the inner side of the world."

A cold female voice spoke: "I told you a long time ago, Rengominiade is the Arashi anchor who ties to the stars, and at the same time, in this thousand five hundred and seventy-three years, he has also taken on the responsibility of sealing the wounds of the planet and preventing the source of life from continuing to leak blood loss...... Look there. ”

Zhang Jie looked in the direction pointed by the female voice, and sure enough, he could see that in the distance of this river of life, there seemed to be a giant pillar that reached the sky. When he scanned it with his spiritual power, he found that it was actually a huge spearhead, and he could even see countless runes flashing on it, and these runes together formed a powerful seal to prevent the leakage of the source of life.

Zhang Jie nodded at first, but when he realized that it was not Liuli who was speaking, but 10032-2, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Okay, I've seen it...... But why did you come down with us? It would be better for the disabled to stay in that treatment chamber. ”

Due to 10032-2's previous evaluation of innocent people, and the attitude she showed was too cold and hurtful. So far, Zhang Jie still has a grudge against this cold woman who did not fight side by side with them, and the words he said at this time were also thorny.

However, I can't complain about what Zhang Jie said, at this time, 10032-2 was only wearing a researcher's white lab coat, and she was now sitting in a high-tech wheelchair that didn't look big, but was a bit too big for her body, suspended in mid-air.

The skin of SCP-10032-2's upper body is unnaturally pale like snow, while the lower half of his body is shockingly black infested with sin. And many places behind her are connected to this wheelchair, and it looks like the cold woman in front of her, integrated with the wheelchair.

And it wasn't until she walked out of the treatment chamber that Yang Yun and Zhang Jie suddenly realized the difference between this being, who had been in the core control room, and Liuli—staying in one place for a long time, and the erosion of sin had caused 10032-2's height to irreversibly shrink to a certain extent, and this manifestation was manifested in the soul. And it was with such an injury that she persevered for fifteen hundred and seventy-three years.

"I have my own reasons, and I gave up the original plan to detonate the holy gun as a last resort, naturally because I had a better policy."

Regarding Zhang Jie's words, 10032-2 didn't seem to hear the meaning, and didn't seem to care, but as always, replied in a cold tone: "And you, just need to do what you have to do." ”

Touching a soft nail, Zhang Jie shrugged his shoulders and no longer bored himself. Yang Yun, who had not spoken since he arrived here, stared at the river and suddenly said, "Look there, Zhang Jie, those black things." ”

——Just like Yang Yun said, this silver river of life is mixed with foreign substances.

It was pitch-black, ink-like sin, like sludge mixed into the clear water, like a stubborn stain that could not be removed no matter how strong the dish soap was, and although it was few, it was there.

"That's the pollution that Ashiya Michiman caused to the River of Life."

Liuli spoke, although her words were also without the slightest emotion, but Yang Yun and Zhang Jie both heard the uncontrollable disgust from it: "After Ashiya Michiman discovered the existence of the River of Life, he not only wantonly extracted the source of life from it, transformed it into spiritual energy to devour and heal himself, but also cut off a part of his soul origin and integrated it into it. ”

"Soul Cutting Technique...... Similar to Horcruxes? Yang Yun glanced at the black shadow hanging on the head of the gungun, which was still struggling at the moment: "Let me guess, even if we completely wipe out this mass of things, as long as his part of the soul origin in the River of Life still exists, it will be endlessly resurrected?" ”

"That's right."

Liuli nodded and took Gangnir back from Zhang Jie's hands: "The good news is that since Ashiya Michiman has not mastered the technique of dividing the three corpses, the soul origin that he has integrated into the river of life does not have self-consciousness, and will only passively react instinctively to the outside world, while constantly supplying ontological energy...... So what we have to do is to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

"Lure the snake out of the hole?" Zhang Jie asked: "What should I do?" ”

"First, we need to go straight to the river of life......"

"Go down, you."

Before Liuli finished speaking, 10032-2 behind her took the riding gun that appeared in her hand at some point and poked it lightly on Zhang Jie's buttocks. I didn't see how hard she shot this shot, but Zhang Jie jumped up with a snort like a cat with a burned tail in the cartoon, and then fell into the river of life, leaving only an unfinished sentence......

"I'm going to be cooing with you bastard......"

"Will you do it yourself, or will I help you?"

After poking Zhang Jie down with a shot, 10032-2 flashed the riding gun in his hand at Yang Yun with an expressionless face, and the meaning was self-evident.

“…… I'll do it myself. ”

Yang Yun wiped a handful of cold sweat that didn't exist, and took a deep breath-

Then, he stepped into the river of life.
