Omen of Silence: Cobweb
No one is out of it,
There is never a way out,
Meaningless struggles,
So much so that even understanding the matter itself is meaningless.
......
"Ahem, let you wait for a long time, I don't know how many people have passed the second level, don't doubt it, if you are still alive now, or even having dinner, then congratulations on you are one step closer to 50 million, sometimes I have to admit that luck is also a very important part of life, so now, everyone can rest in peace, the next game will start at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, please don't oversleep." β
The melodious and soothing sound of the piano sounded, as if celebrating the luck of surviving for the living, and as if mourning for the misfortune of the deceased.
"If you don't have the initiative, you can only be led by the other party's nose, if you go on like this, I'm afraid it won't take three days, and the person will almost die, so far I'll say it bluntly, this Teacher Xiao and you are both spiritual priests, although I don't practice spiritual path, but judging from the level and reaction speed of the two, there is no doubt that it is the realm above the spiritual guide, I Lan Dumu is here to implore the two of you to stop this so-called game, as long as the two of you are willing to help me with this, just 50 million deer pattern gold coins are nothing at all. β
A mere 50 million deer pattern gold coins is nothing, and I am afraid that only a person of Lan Dumu's status dares to say this kind of thing, but the current situation, no matter how smart he is, there is no way to speak of it, the situation is firmly controlled by the other party, if the other party is allowed to continue, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be a spirit guide car full of corpses.
"Young Master Mu, aren't you afraid that there will be other party's accomplices among us?" asked the puppet with a smile.
"If there really is, Yue Yong and I should already be two corpses. Lan Dumu got up and walked in front of Xiao Shu and the puppet, he took off his top hat, and said in a deep voice, "I must find out the identity of the carjacker, and I must also stop this game, this is not only a matter of the reputation of Nanyuguo, but also a matter of life and death for the whole car, I implore the two of you to help me, and I owe you a favor, how about it?"
"Do you think that the two of us alone can break each other's long-planned situation? I'm afraid that even if we agree to you, we won't be able to change anything, don't you know what will happen to those who rebelled before? Who knows how many hole cards they still have in their hands, and rash actions will only make us lose faster. Xiao Shu said softly.
Isn't it a bit too idealistic for all of this to develop?
Just now, he was discussing with the puppet how to gain Lan Dumu's trust in the mental space, and the next moment he actually bowed his head and begged himself and the puppet for help, which seemed reasonable, but in Xiao Shu's eyes, this kind of coincidence came together, maybe it was not a coincidence.
Why is he Lan Dumu on this train?
Why did you knock on the door of this private room?
There is no answer, maybe it's really a coincidence, or maybe it's ......
A confident smile appeared on the corner of Lan Dumu's mouth, he squatted down, dipped his fingers in some stagnant water on the ground, and then drew several staggered horizontal and vertical lines on the table, he explained, "I don't know if you have ever played chess, the current situation is almost impossible to crack, I don't know the identity of the other party, I don't know how many people there are on the other side, what is the purpose, every step is led by the nose, until I am the general, this kind of I generally call a dead end." β
"I thought you were going to say something, but after talking for a long time, you didn't say anything. Yue Yong's face was full of disappointment.
"But have you ever thought about the fact that the rules of chess are universally recognized, and players must follow them in order to determine the winner or loser of the game normally, but at the moment, we are not playing chess with the other party. Lan Dumu erased all the horizontal and vertical stripes on the table with his backhand, and he sneered, "It's about life and death, where did the rules come from, and what do the games they make have to do with us?"
"So, you're planning to flip their chessboard?" Xiao Shu asked.
"That's right, I'm going to flip their chessboard. Lan Dumu looked out the window at the pitch black and flat, and continued. Needless to say, the other party has placed accomplices in each carriage to monitor and execute while also causing suspicion, plus the example of the massacre in the past, no one dares to continue to openly resist, I don't know very well, how many people are forced to participate in this game now, and how many people really covet 50 million deer pattern gold coins, but in this case, it is almost impossible to unite the passengers, so there is only one way left, directly destroy this spirit guide car, cut off everyone's hope, only a real desperate situation, can people see the reality clearlyγ β
Lan Dumu said lightly, but destroying a spirit guide car is not a trivial matter, for Nan Yuguo, this spirit guide car may be worth more than the lives of people in this car, but what Xiao Shu saw in his eyes was not a decision to save the people, but a desire to win.
What the puppet said is not wrong at all, not out of any sense of justice, just to win, Lan Dumu is a very eccentric person, he can destroy a priceless spirit guide car in order to win today, and he can also kill the remaining survivors in order to win tomorrow, everything he does has always had only one purpose, to win, and the most terrifying thing is that he can make everyone feel that it is a matter of course to do so.
......
Destroying a spirit guide car is actually a very simple matter from a certain point of view, this kind of sophisticated and complex operation instrument, often only need to destroy a corner, it is enough to make the entire instrument completely collapse, if it is on weekdays, the carriage of the spirit guide device must have many guards guarded, but now it is empty, maybe even the carjacking bandits will not expect, someone dares to attack the spirit guide car.
The carriage of the spirit guide device is completely sealed, and there is also a spell enchantment on it to protect it, only a passage is left on the side, and it is impossible to enter from the inside, but this is not a difficult thing for Xiao Shu, a sword shot out, and the seemingly heavy iron wall was split in two like soft mud, and the sword light penetrated through, perhaps because the speed was too fast, so that the spell on it did not have time to be triggered.
Wouldn't it be too easy?
Xiao Shu looked around left and right, there was no one in front and behind, the blood trail dragged on the aisle had not yet dried up, and the end of the bloodstain was where the control room of the spirit guide car was located, and inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of himself reflected in the window on the right side of the aisle, showing himself as a woman.
Obviously, he is an immortal out of the dust, and his elegance is peerless, but somehow, he always feels that the self in front of him is very similar to the statue of the god and Buddha who went to the temple with Xiao Jin to worship back then, whether it is his eyes or expression, all of them are the same.
Nothingness......
There are no other words to describe it, only nothingness.
The word benevolence has never had anything to do with Xiao Shu, he is used to seeing life and death, let alone hundreds of people, even if thousands of people and tens of thousands of people die in front of him, he will not be moved, but this does not mean that Xiao Shu has no thoughts in his heart, he may feel sorry, or he may be sad.
But since surviving the catastrophe of the demons, he vaguely felt that something had changed, and at first he didn't feel anything, until he was shocked to realize that whether it was the tragic death of the innocent on the train or the game itself, deep down he didn't care about it, this feeling was very similar to when he sank into a state of selflessness, but it was not the same.
In the past, self-forgetfulness suppressed seven emotions and six desires, and after breaking the demons in his heart, it could be called one-sex roundness, but now, instead of feeling any discomfort, on the contrary, he felt a kind of freedom, a kind of freedom that was not bound by his desires.
"I'm ......"
As soon as I thought of it, all my emotions disappeared, this feeling really can't be described in words, if I want, Xiao Shu can still be angry, sad, and happy from the bottom of my heart.
But...... Is it necessary?
Does it make sense?
I don't know when Xiao Shu forgot what it was and couldn't help it, and he also forgot what the meaning of seven emotions and six desires was.
"Xiao boy, a cultivator at this stage like you, whether it is cultivation or state of mind, is a stage that is very prone to mistakes, throughout the ages, I don't know how many casual cultivators have made mistakes because no one has instructed them, if you have any questions, just ask them directly, don't hide them. Su Wen instantly sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Shu.
"Su asked seniors, I ......" Xiao Shu just got up and stopped again, he frowned and thought about it, and only after a long time did he speak, "Since surviving the tribulation of the demons, I have always had a very strange feeling, all this, I mean everything, seems to have completely lost its meaning, I understand what to do and what not to do, I also understand when I can be angry, when I can be happy, but that feeling is like fiddling with myself with a thread, can you understand what I mean?"
This kind of explanation must be confused by others, and they won't understand what Xiao Shu wants to express at all, but Su Wen understands.
"You feel nothingness, right? You feel that everything is meaningless, gender and men are meaningless, seven emotions and six desires are meaningless, there is no point in saving people and killing people, you feel that everything you do is meaningless, if I don't open my mouth, you don't even plan to mention it, because you think it's pointless to even ask me, right?"
β...... That's right. Xiao Shu nodded.
"Your state of mind at the moment actually has a specific word in the Ascending Immortal Dao, Silence Heart, do you know what it represents? The omen of the Soul Extinction, the Death of the Body, but the probability of this situation is very small, and those immortals who only cultivate the Fa and do not cultivate the mind will definitely not have this kind of problem, so I must congratulate you, Xiao boy, you have a symptom that is unique in ten thousand. Su Wen didn't seem to be nervous at all, and he even teased Xiao Shu.
β...... Su asked seniors, this doesn't seem to be worth congratulating, right?" Maybe it's because of the relationship between the heart of silence, even if he hears Su Wen say that he may be gone, Xiao Shu doesn't have any special feelings.
