The girl's form begins to become abstract, and her limbs begin to take on a distorted view of giants.

She lowered her hand and hid her swollen forearm behind her.

"That old man, he's some kind of god creature, isn't he?"

"Yes......"

"You've told me before." She chuckled softly, "You told me that those god creatures are the most difficult to deal with, and their rules are difficult to guess. ”

She tilted her head and stepped back behind her, "But I also remember that you said you wouldn't do something you're not sure about. Since He will be here, I think you planned it.

You'll have about three hours from now until the ceremony is over, and I don't know what you're going to do, but if you want to do it, just do it. ”

Chen Qing's brows tightened, he stared at the girl who was stepping back step by step, and his heart couldn't help but tighten: "Why are you helping me." ”

She looked at Chen Qing and grinned, but the smile was not good-looking: "There is a stupid girl who has too strong will before her death." ”

"Are you leaving? Where are you going! ”

She shook her head, "I can't go anywhere." ”

She looked at Chen Qing, and her voice softened a little: "Don't keep staring at me." ”

Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to ask: "Why do you have memories, who are you?" “

The girl smiled and explained: "I am me, I am her, but I am not exactly her, I came from her and inherited some unforgettable memories."

That's it. ”

"You...... In this case, do you know about the knowledge of promotion also come from her? ”

She shook her head in denial, "No." These memories are something I was born with.

Just as humans know how to eat in order to grow up, intangible cultural heritage also knows how to elevate their class. It makes sense. ”

Chen Qing nodded, and then asked, "Carrying the memory...... And being recognized, what's the difference.

Why would you say that to me.

And also...... Acknowledging this is a very subjective judgment in itself. How this quantifies the condition.

and ......"

Chen Qing was silent for a while before he continued to ask: "Since the promotion of intangible cultural heritage does not rely on carrying memories, why do I lose this part of the memory content alone after I come in." ”

Cen Nianyan listened to his words, kneading her eyebrows slightly, her expression was clearly similar to that of a certain teenager.

Chen Qing was stunned for a few seconds, and saw a little shadow of himself from her.

"Let's answer you one by one. Carrying memories is possible, but it will never be the only criterion.

It's really subjective to be recognized, but to put it bluntly......"

Before she could finish speaking, her words stopped: "Actually, it's still a rule." ”

She looked at Chen Qing and pointed to the other party's mouth before continuing: "The rules are always objective. And the in-depth reasons ...... I'll let you know when we have a chance to meet later.

As for the loss of memory you mentioned...... That's really nothing to do with me. You've got to see what that son did to you.

He must have done something.

He wants this promotion ceremony to fail, and He wants you to leave unharmed.

He wants you to lose some of the props needed for your promotion ceremony.

But he clearly didn't expect it. ”

The girl tilted her head and stuck out her tongue: "He didn't expect me to be on the side of you." ”

"That's ...... Is it really good? ”

He listened to the girl's words, the expression on his face was a little ashamed, he gritted his teeth, shook his head before he spoke: "In the end...... It's ...... me."

"But I'm not her after all!" Cen Nianyan interrupted him: "I'm not her!" The memory she left me with was not a hatred before she died.

Believe it or not, it's her memories that are preventing me from continuing to embarrass you.

She's the one who put me on your side.

All I can say is...... Even before she died, the biggest, most paranoid thought she remembered was still you. ”

He took a deep breath and shook his head slightly, "Is it up to you to set the time when I can move in this space?" ”

"Not really." She touched her lips, as if calculating something: "You have about six hours this time, and it should be almost half past now."

That's why you're in a hurry. ”

"Three hours?!" He looked stunned, and turned his head to look at the bell stand on the side, where the time that seemed to match the count in her mouth.

"Okay...... Case...... Then I'll have no problem. ”

Cen Nianyan nodded when she heard this, the smile on her face seemed to be a little thicker, she stepped back step by step, and the wall behind Chen Qing also began to shrink and deform.

He turned his head, and the desk that had been leaning against the wall was now empty.

A dark hallway took the place of the wall and led to another room.

"Go ahead. You have an hour to be in the same room with Him. ”

When Chen Qing was about to raise his legs and step into the corridor, Cen Nianyan's voice came from behind Chen Qing.

The voice was far away, just enough for him to hear.

His expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became a little more solemn.

He frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

He walked all the way forward, and when he came to the corner where the light was shining, he saw the old man in the center of the room.

He was slumped, his eyes staring at the corridor like snakes and scorpions, and he had a smile on his lips, but the laughter was not inaudible in the slightest cheerful and kind thing.

"You're here?" He looked at Chen Qing and couldn't wait to speak: "You want to kill me?!" You want to kill me! Do you think you can kill me?! Yes! ”

Chen Qing's face furrowed, and his brows seemed to be Sichuan-shaped.

He listened to the ridicule in his ear, but his heart was even more worried because of it.

The two were only a few meters apart, but curiosity arose in Chen Qing's heart.

"You seem to be in a hurry? In a hurry to die? He looked at the old man and suddenly smiled.

"What?"

"I say, are you in a hurry to die?" Chen Qing squatted down, as if he understood something in his heart.

Corresponding to this, there was a bit of worry on the old man's face.

"What's that...... What do you mean I'm in a hurry to ......"

"Alright, let's catch up." He waved his hand and interrupted the old man's nonsense: "You are eyeing me in the tulou." ”

He was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

"At that time, Jiang Wan threw you into the yellow sand, didn't you die?"

"Dead. But I can be born again in the Overworld. There seemed to be a bit of anxiety on his face, and he wanted to speak first, but he found that he couldn't ask anything.

"So you've stayed with me?"

"Yes...... But it's not. ”

He suddenly smiled: "Do you know why you came here?" ”

"Stop you."

"Stop me from what?"

"Prevent you from being promoted."

He sighed with emotion and couldn't help but say: "What a good baby who has to answer all questions." ”

His expression was warm, but his hand was only stretched out before it was withdrawn.

"But no."

This time, Chen Qing didn't wait for him to answer, so he said to himself.

"Actually, it's not what you want to be here."

He looked at the old man in front of him and suddenly grinned: "I don't know what the promotion ceremony will bring, I don't know what the promotion ceremony will cause." Even I don't know why you're trying to stop me.

Because the intangible cultural heritage after promotion will cause resistance to you? ”

He shook his head, listening to Chen Qing's words, the old man's face was already extremely bad.

"Impossible. It's just an E-rank promotion ceremony. She simply doesn't have a way to stop you. Since it is not the result, it can only be the act itself. ”

He looked at the old man, and the old god continued, "She once said that this is a world of lies built with truth.

Then I think Cen Nianyan's words are at least mostly right, for example, you want me to fail the ceremony.

The ritual failed, and it was normal for the props used for promotion to disappear, but you told her alone, you want something to disappear, can I think that it is this thing that threatens you, and you, you don't want me to realize it.

The ritual of promotion will be the complete erasure of its existence in the past. Are you scared...... The secret of my ritual. ”

He looked at the old man, and the moment the words in his mouth were finished, Cen Nianyan's voice also came from behind him.

"You won't go in and kill Him? This is the only chance you have to kill a god creature.

He is weak in nature. ”

"You're still thinking of killing me." Chen Qing didn't look back, but his tone was a little cheerful.

"But this is your only chance to kill Him."

Chen Qing listened, of course knowing that she was not lying.

He just turned his head and smiled at her slightly.

"Sure enough. I can't hide it from you. Seeing Chen Qing's smile, Cen Nianyan's expression became a little depressed, but it was also mixed with a few detached looks.

"You said that when the promotion is over, I can enter the room where the other person exists, and that's true. Because the promotions are over, they will naturally not be bound by the rules. But what if it's not over? ”

Chen Qing stretched out his hand, and for some reason, that hand was ghostly on her shoulder: "You still want to kill me."

You told me I could be in the same room with Him for an hour, but what hour was it? You didn't say that. ”

He paused, and watched as the girl's face began to peel off, and those skins began to fall off little by little like pieces of paper: "You said that the end of promotion mainly depends on your recognition, but what if there is an intangible cultural heritage that is not recognized?" It doesn't make sense.

Unless there is another case, the one that satisfies the rules represents the permission of your will.

So you're still telling the truth, but you're just choosing to say part of it.

It's not bad for you to tell me you're on one side with me, but no one has ever said that partners in the same camp can't be stabbed at each other. ”

He smiled and withdrew his hand, he looked at the girl's face with a slight smile, she tilted her head, and her pale blue dress was pulled open by her.

Under the cloth, there are bright red cracks on the skin.

"It's you......" she whispered, "what about Him?" Aren't you worried? ”

Chen Qing shook his head: "Don't worry about it." What do you do when you're worried about a dead person? Since it's good to wait, then don't do too much to add to it. ”

"That's what you're doing......" She chuckled softly, as if she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, but the words in her mouth were silent, she could only listen to Chen Qing continue.

"I don't know what the secret I used in the ritual is, and I don't know how that secret can make or break his life or death, but since the ritual can kill him, so be it."

"Hmm."

She listened to Chen Qing's words, and there were countless bright red silk threads covering her body from the bottom to the top under her blue dress, and blood began to drip from her fingertips, and those vivid threads dyed and changed the color of her clothes on her body.

She looked at Chen Qing, her eyes were weakly opened, and her voice was a little murmuring.

"You...... It's going to end? Seeing the girl in front of him gradually drift into the air, he heard the rapid footsteps behind him, and he could only turn around, and the second fingertip of the girl's left hand grew several meters forward, piercing the old man's brow with his finger.

She listened to Chen Qing's question, and the smile on her face became stronger.

"Hmm."

He turned around and saw a faint smile on the girl's face.

"Next time, I won't let you pass so easily."

He listened to the faint words of the girl in his ear, and everything in front of him disappeared.
