The next day, at 21:20.

Under the steps was a long, dark and deep path, but Meng Po's steps were calm and calm. The sound of footsteps clicked and echoed in the staggered paths, not in a hurry or slow, like a wanderer returning to his hometown, groping for his place little by little in the mottled memory.

From time to time, Meng Po stroked her fingers over the stone slab on one side of the wall, and with a few taps, she could light a dim oil lamp or open a small hidden door.

Li Ben followed closely behind Meng Po, for fear that he would disappear in one step. There are no pursuers behind him, but the road under his feet seems to have no end, and the monotonous environment stretches endlessly, even if it is the consciousness space imagined by a mental patient, there seems to be no disobedience.

Of course, Meng Po's back is still eye-catching, and the chat with Meng Po is also continuing, which is the only way for Li Jianguo to confirm that time is still passing.

Meng Po's tone was very calm, as if she was discussing a trivial matter, not much more rigorous than the taxi driver's attitude of talking about international current affairs: "Most people don't know very well, in fact, the city of Fengdu is connected to each other. At that time, the builders of Fengdu had some friendship with me, so I knew most of the trails well. Later, I sent someone to complete some important passages, and the entire underground space was relatively complete. ”

Li Jianguo was a little incredulous: "That is to say...... You could have gotten out of there at any time? Wait a minute...... In that case, they shouldn't have been able to catch you, should they? Did you get caught on purpose? ”

As he spoke, Li Jianguo watched as Meng Po pulled out a layer of dark lattice from the wall on the right, which was actually biscuits and water that had already been prepared!

Meng Po took out the water and drank it, then pushed the dark grid back, and her tone did not change: "That's right, I can not be caught by them, and I can even hide so that no one can find me." But this is meaningless, I am Meng Po after all, and I am the only person who can make Meng Po soup, if I keep hiding, then within a few days, the reincarnation system itself will have problems. ”

"I see," Li Jianguo felt that he could understand Meng Po's words slightly, "Anyway, they can't lock you up, so it's better to take the initiative to find out what the other party wants to do, right?" It's you, but it's ...... that you can create a pathway in any house that only you know about."

"Oh," Meng Po responded, "not any house, it's mine. ”

Li Jianguo was a little surprised: "Your house? ”

"That's right, that's my property, and I'll leave it to my subordinates. They rented it from me before, so I know a little bit about it. ”

"It's a coincidence!" Li Jianguo sighed, "Fortunately, this is your house, we can get out of danger so smoothly, in case it is not......"

Meng Po opened another fork in the road, paused briefly at the intersection, turned her head to Li Jianguo and smiled: "There will be no case, in view of the unique location of my house, my house is to attract conspirators, kidnappers, and lawbreakers from all walks of life...... To tell the truth, at present, more than 90% of the "illegal" enterprises above designated size in Fengdu are renting my house. ”

Meng Po continued to walk forward calmly, and Li Jianguo was dumbfounded.

"Uh...... Don't you care about Hades? ”

Meng Po said lightly: "I can't control it, besides, we also have our own release channels." Even if they are underworld forces, they always have to have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and they need a suitable place to fulfill their ambitions and ambitions. ”

"And ......" Meng Po smiled: "As the richest man in Hades, some people are bound to covet me, and if they all choose to tie me up to my house in the end, it can be regarded as a kind of insurance." ”

Be...... Is that so?

Li Jianguo was deeply shocked by the woman in front of him.

It is worthy of Meng Po.

There are three caves of cunning rabbits, but in Fengdu, the entire Fengdu underground has been dug with holes, and the entire Fengdu is Meng Po's hiding place and refuge.

Li Jianguo felt that he was becoming more and more unable to figure out the relationship between Meng Po and the underworld. There seems to be some connection between them, but there are also some differences; They seem to be rushing for the same thing, and they seem to be following very different paths......

The gentleman is harmonious and different, and it can only be said that at this point, there is an extraordinary tacit understanding between Hades and Meng Po.

However, Li Jianguo still has one thing to understand.

"Then why did you let Cui Ling leave just now?"

Meng Po responded, "This is the way we can all leave, I believe you should be able to see that Cui Ling may be fighting with you at that time, and in his option, there should be no possibility of being captured alive." Hades still doesn't know about Cui Ling's plan and the disappeared soul, and it shouldn't want Cui Ling's clue to be broken. I have long heard that the adult is mighty, and if you make a move, it will be difficult to guarantee Cui Ling's fate. ”

Oh, I see, indeed.

Meng Po is much more thoughtful than herself, she should be the one who solves the problem of Hades, not me, an impostor.

Having said that, Li Jianguo thought back to what Meng Po said to him last night, and he also had some things that he cared about more.

The two men walked in silence for a while, only the sound of footsteps echoing in the passageway.

Finally, Li Jianguo couldn't help but ask: "Master Meng, when I saw you for the first time, I remember that you said, "It turned out to be you", and finally you also said, "Shibei three days, impressive" I want to ask you again, do you know me? ”

Meng Po replied very calmly: "Of course." ”

"Then you must know why the heavens chose me to be this so-called death tester, is it really just a random substitute for the dead ghost? If you can remember me, maybe ......" Li Jianguo's voice was a little expectant: "Maybe I was actually a hero or an immortal before?" ”

Meng Po smiled: "Isn't it because you are wise and martial, it says that you are brilliant and brave, we dealt with you yesterday, you are indeed extraordinary, I think, this is the ...... that God chose you"

Li Jianguo hurriedly waved his hand: "Harm, I don't know who I am." In this way, you don't know me in this life, so what about me before you, for example, me in previous lives, since you know me, I must have been a well-known figure before, right? ”

She turned to look at Li Jianguo, and the smile on the corner of her mouth looked even more mysterious and unpredictable against the backdrop of the oil lamp.

"No, Master Li, I think you're mistaken. The world has a misunderstanding of me, even Cui Ling just now, he thinks that Meng Po soup has a secret recipe. No, Master Li, the reason why Meng Po soup has been the only one I can make for thousands of years is because ......"

Li Jianguo looked at Meng Po's eyes, which seemed to be unfazed, and it seemed that there was also a storm.

"I am the god of memory."

Li Jianguo was a little puzzled: "The god of memory? ”

"The doctor who understands the pain best can calm the pain, and in the same way, the god who is good at remembering can help people forget. I have memorized all the past and present lives of hundreds of millions of souls in the world, and every time you drink Meng Po soup, it is actually a memory cut and pasted into my mind. So...... That's right, I remember you as much as I remember everyone else in the world. ”

Li Jianguo was a little disappointed, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I was really just an ordinary soul before." ”

Li Jianguo was sullen in his heart: Did the Jade Emperor really randomly choose an ordinary substitute ghost?

"However," Meng Po's brow furrowed slightly, "you are indeed very special. ”

Li Jianguo couldn't help but look forward to it: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Meng Po tilted her head slightly, as if considering the words she wanted to say:

"Lord Li, your first ten reincarnations...... All very ordinary. ”

Meng Po's words, somehow, pulled Li Jianguo back into an irrelevant memory fragment.

I think that back then, an interesting incident happened when Li Jianguo was studying.

At that time, he was still in junior high school, and after a final exam, he scored 62 points in mathematics, and he felt that there was a problem, so he went to apply for a score review, and sure enough, he found that there was a problem with his score, and the school was very reasonable, so he immediately adjusted his score.

After the adjustment, the math test score is 52 points.

And because he failed, he was beaten violently by his parents and almost died on the spot.

If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem to be a "fun" thing.

Now, he has passed away.

And, the same anecdote played out again.

Li Jianguo thought that he should be familiar with this feeling, but he didn't expect that he still felt very lost......

And surprised.

"X...... All very ordinary? Master Meng, if you tell me this, you might as well not tell me......"

"No, no, no," Meng Po said firmly, "the tenth life is very ordinary, and this matter is already extremely unusual. ”

Seeing Li Jianguo's eyes like a puppy in the water, Meng Po had no choice but to explain: "The reincarnation of ordinary people should be like an electrocardiogram, with peaks and troughs, some are outstanding in one life, and some are indifferent to everyone in one life, ups and downs, and enjoy different scenery...... But you're different, Master Li......"

Li Jianguo actually read a rare confused look in Meng Po's eyes: "Your reincarnation is a trough, and you are born mediocre." Your fate is like the electrocardiogram of a dead man, there is almost no fluctuation, two lives, three lifetimes are enough, but you have been like this for ten consecutive lifetimes, and in my memory Meng Po, I should not have found any existence like you. Master Lee......"

A hint of awe could almost be read in Meng Po's eyes: "At least in the first ten lives, you were outstanding in terms of mediocrity, and no one could match you. ”

Listening to Meng Po's eloquent words, Li Jianguo couldn't ...... for a long time Not calm.

The double negation is affirmative, that is to say, Li Jianguo is ...... in his heart The heart is like stopping water.

Rather, the heart is like stagnant water.

I even want to roll my eyes.

Meng Po was still looking at herself.

What's up? Should I be more responsive?

Should I thank the other person? Or do you want to say something like "it did" and "I knew"?

All right.

"I'm praising me when I have the right to be Lord Meng Po." Li Jianguo said sullenly.

Meng Po then smiled and said, "But it is the mediocrity of the first ten lives that has made Master Li indispensable in this life, isn't it?" Perhaps it was the foreshadowing of the previous ten lives, that Lord Li was able to make a splash in this life, go straight to the sky, and become an existence that the Three Realms looked up to. ”

Pull it down.

Li Jianguo had no strength to refute.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and Li Jianguo finally spied on some secrets of his life that he had never known, but he was not in the mood for happiness.

It doesn't matter if it's not a famous god of war, it's not the second generation of a superhero or his own son, and there is not even a supervillain who jumps out and says to himself: "I'm your father!" ”

Why can't these clichéd plots be staged on oneself once?

10th ......

How many lifetimes are there in this life......

At present, only Li Jianguo himself knows that he is now very mediocre in the eleventh consecutive life. Cui Ling and Bao Zheng have all seen their resumes, and they immediately said that this resume is fake, because no one would be so mediocre.

Lao Tzu will.

Li Jianguo looked at the dim road ahead.

I don't know how long I can hang out in Hades...... The ten-day crisis can be mixed up until the eleventh day at most. It's the second night, and when they all find out that they're impostors, I don't know what kind of expressions they'll have on their faces.

But...... Wait a minute......

"Lord Meng," Li Jianguo asked secretly, "What about before the tenth generation?" How many lifetimes does the soul have now? ”

Meng Po thought for a moment and responded, "Now the soul is generally between one hundred and one hundred and twenty lifetimes. Tell you the truth, the story of your ten lives ago...... I did not see. ”

Seeing Li Jianguo's look of expectation, Meng Po hurriedly said: "But don't look forward too much, just like you saw before, the soul after death dies again, and the soul will be scattered." After the three souls and seven spirits burst out, the soul returned to the nine abysses, and the soul returned to the underworld, and the soul reunited after many years, and the previous soul was a completely independent individual. So...... It's possible that your soul was scattered because of some accident ten lives ago, and it is estimated that you fell on the road and your soul fell apart. ”

All right.

Alas.

Others are more powerful, greater responsibility.

The greater my expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Li Jianguo pondered and couldn't extricate himself until a bright light flashed out from above.

"We're here, Master Li, let's come out first."

Oh, yes, I still have important things to do, I have to hurry up and tell Bao Zheng about the current situation, and I have to chase Cui Ling and find out the whereabouts of the soul.

After Meng Po walked up, she stretched out her hand and pulled Li Jianguo out.

Return to Earth...... Well, no, returning to the ground underground, looking at the lifeless Fengdu buildings again, Li Jianguo's mood improved slightly.

Now it seems to be in the backyard of a building near the Meng Hotel, which can be regarded as Meng Po's own territory.

It's time to get down to business.

"By the way," Li Jianguo asked, "Do you know why Cui Ling kidnapped you?" ”

Meng Po nodded: "First, ask me the recipe for Meng Po soup, which I have explained to you just now; The second is that he wants me to tell him where the shelter and entrance I use to provide shelter for the people will be in a few days. ”

"Shelter? Did you tell him? If we tell him, we can go there and find him. ”

Meng Po shook her head slightly: "That's not true, we didn't reach an agreement on this point. You've seen the shelter, though. ”

Li Jianguo asked suspiciously, "Have I seen it?" ”

"Yes," Meng Po pointed to the slowly closing hole underground, "The underground world we walked over just now is my refuge. ”

What?

However, too.

"Of course, I promised him some things and I would help him. That's why he did what I said and left. ”

"Really? Why would you want to help him? ”

"Never put your eggs in one basket. Venture capital, if you Hades can't solve the current difficulties of Hades, it's always good to have another option. ”

Meng Po paused, and then said, "But you can rest assured, at least for now, I am not your enemy. Hades will always be my first choice, and I hope that Lord Li will not disappoint my expectations. ”
