Within the high walls, the red moon is like blood.

A hunchbacked old woman was holding a medicine pestle and beating the herbs in the medicine jar, making a crisp sound from time to time.

The plaster bowl collided with the iron pestle, bringing a merciless echo, and the empty house, which seemed to be full of human shells for a moment, disappeared in an instant.

The old woman was like a snail crawling on the ground, her towering back so far from her lowered face that she looked not like a snail but like a misshapen boulder.

The husk loomed, and there was a shout that seemed to be out of nowhere.

There was also the owner of a pair of white calves, barefoot and shackled, curled up in the corner, watching in horror as the misshapen boulder moved its steps towards her.

"Don't ...... Don't come here! ”

"Help...... Help ......"

A series of shouts came out of her mouth, but no one could hear them, and the seemingly non-existent shells began to loom on top of each other again.

Lonely and ghostly, she saw the images that made her tremble, with severed arms and stumps piled up in the empty room, and the screams of countless girls tightly irritated her eardrums.

She! Be a part of this too!

"Don't be afraid...... "The old woman's face seemed to be embedded in the boulder, blending in with her earth-gray clothes.

The old woman's eyebrows were particularly hideous under the red moon, and the strange smile made the corners of her mouth tear open, revealing the fangs of the steel ruler.

"Soon ~ Soon ~ You won't be in pain ~"

The girl panicked and tightened the shackles on her feet, and she retreated very quickly, but she could only hit the wall, and moved forward, leaning her head against the high wall, and in great fear, she assumed the last posture of her life.

Her back was straight, her left hand turned outward and twisted, her right hand turned inwards and folded, her head tilted to the right, her face raised upward, her legs one inward and the other outward, like a monster enchanted, trying to rush out of this terrified humble shell.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

[No matter who it is...... Please come...... Help me......]

"Theoretically, a single absurd magic stone can also satisfy any human desire, but it needs to pay some price, I know these settings are a bit cliché, but the price of absurd magic stone does not need to be my own price."

Tsubaki rubbed her nose.

"For example, if a person wants to make a wish through a small piece of magic stone and obtain inexhaustible wealth, but the price is a reduction in lifespan, any wish treasure has the restriction of [equivalent exchange], and the principle of this equivalent exchange will also be offset by the user, and the life span will be reduced when the wealth is obtained."

She looked at Chang Yu Feng's calm cheeks, and she was also a lot more serious.

However, Shadow Seeker itself does not like this mechanism of equivalent exchange, so that the equivalent exchange of the [owner] becomes an arbitrary equivalent exchange. In other words, I get riches, and you lose your life. ”

"That way, things get a lot more interesting...... It is also more in line with ...... A request from wicked people who will use the Wild Demon Stone to make a wish. Kinder people are still instinctively worried about what price they need to pay to make a wish, and more evil people can make their own wishes at the cost of others, which is also more in line with human logic. ”

Tsubaki naturally scoffs at the absurd magic stone.

"At the expense of others, to fulfill one's own wishes...... It's a shame that the Shadow of the Desolation can think of it. ”

Chang Yufeng looked at Tsubaki seriously, and Tsubaki shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"If you could...... There's nothing I can't think of, Seeking the Desolate Shadow used to be the king in charge of the law, what kind of stealing chickens and dogs, male thieves and prostitutes, killing people and setting fires, all kinds of evil acts have not been seen? There is such a thing as fulfilling one's own desires at the expense of others...... He's seen a lot...... Only people who have not been deeply involved in the world or who have lived for so long like you and have not yet understood will feel unreasonable. ”

Tsubaki mocked Changyu Kaede for being too positive.

"It's actually very reasonable, it's just not fair."

"It's reasonable for him, it's not fair to you."

Tsubaki stroked another unopened white flower, and the white flower swayed and lazily opened, and everything was explained.

"The Arashi Demon Stone has great power and no side effects, I'm afraid, it will be very difficult to find."

Chang Yu Feng stood up and sighed.

He now knows the effect of the Wild Magic Stone, but he has lost the jade pendant that he is looking for the Wild Magic Stone, and he feels a little tired thinking that it is far away.

It may be that he does have some loneliness and cannot bring up the courage to face reality again.

"I was most afraid of this happening to me, trying to find something, and in the end, I had nothing. Isn't that scary? What I had to face after all was so daunting to me. ”

Detachment, but not complete detachment.

This is the most painful thing......

It's like being stuck on the ground, and you can't go up or down......

"You're the only one with the memories of a god."

Tsubaki spoke eloquently, as if telling an ancient saying, there is a possibility that they are old acquaintances.

"And the only person who can think like this, every space, space and star line of the long feather maple exists around you, or angry, or silent, or alone, or like a frightening sky, or old and helpless...... But in the end, it is not as transparent as you. Or maybe it's because you know the history that you can stand out from all the long-feathered maples and gain the trust of the Shadow Seeker, and that's why you're so entangled, how to be yourself. ”

Chang Yu Feng listened on the side, his head moved slightly, and for a moment, he felt that Tsubaki had indeed said it and poked him in the heart.

"I've never seen anything like that, they've done so much for me, and I'm holding back a little now, it's true...... I don't know, what the hell should I ...... How to get back to yourself. I didn't have a flash like everyone else...... Life. ”

My life is spent minute by minute......

My life is tormented by minute by minute......

A lonely life of every minute and a second......

How should I spend my ......

Life is meaningless...... Don't you feel it?

The meaninglessness of life.

"As long as there is space, space and stars, as long as there is a reciprocating life, as long as it is independent of all lives...... I couldn't find the meaning of my life...... Looking for the Magic Stone and ......"

His suddenness ...... Felt......

All after all that has been done......

Looking for the shadow of the wilderness, Chang Yinglan, with the dragon——

The ending of "The Spiritual Record" -

It is to give Chang Yu Feng an explanation.

That is!

Life!

There is no turning back, possession from the beginning, possession of the past, possession of the future! Pain and pleasure!

is life......

One! A meaningful life!

It's not a transparent life with any Zen feeling......

But......

A Meaningful Life......

"Go and find it...... The meaning of your life ......"
