0042 Chapter 1: Confessions of the Dead (Section 36)
"I... don't understand." Zhen Cheng pursed his lips and tilted his head.
She certainly understood that Qu Yun was referring to the kimono girl who was brutally murdered several times in the mansion a hundred years ago, and she also knew that Qu Yun must have obtained some important information about the historical truth from similar "retrospections" like her.
But she didn't think that the kimono girl knew about the Golden Mask. The reason was very simple. The Apostle Cult or the Scarry Family or other guys hiding in the dark used her death as a sacrifice a hundred years ago. How could it be possible for her to be allowed to die?
Did the sacrifice himself figure out what happened?
However, the other party was an extraordinary person, and had an unfathomable temperament that would never let go of mistakes due to recklessness, so Zhen Cheng gave up the idea of resisting. Qu Yun could stroll with her in this corrupt and strange forest.
Chat, then there probably won't be any threats around you at this moment.
As for whether the other party had some agenda and was stalling for time, Zhen Cheng didn't think about it at all. Being taken advantage of by such an opponent, she didn't find any chance to take the initiative.
Of course, she didn't resign herself to fate. She stood with her hands behind her hands and showed a cool gesture of giving in to the person in front of her, in order to secretly unlock the self-defense function of her phone under her long sleeves.
Among the things Zhen Cheng carries, this unique mobile phone is much more lethal than the female pistol. The only drawback is that it can be used only a limited number of times and cannot be used for long-range attacks.
If the silver-haired fairy in front of her tried to harm her, Zhen Cheng didn't think she would have any chance of survival. But although she had bad luck since she was born, she was optimistic by nature and was the kind of person who would never give up hope until the last moment.
Stubborn temperament.
The scent of the girl's body was so fragrant that Zhen Cheng subconsciously took half a step back, but Qu Yun still pressed him closer. He heard her whisper and said with a smile: "That child has some special talents, just like you. This is the best in this world."
Interesting thing now.
This mask does record a complete path to sublimation, even beyond the realm of [Eternal Fire], which is the [God] in your concept. But it does have problems.
It's not that this poor guy used the wrong method, but the ritual completed during the game just now gave this thing a troublesome function other than carrying extraordinary paths.
Whether Scarry has a conspiracy or has been tricked, Yizi will find out. But even if this thing is not given additional meaning, it is just the carrier of an extraordinary path, which is not a path suitable for you. So for you
It’s my request..."
Qu Yun finished whispering, took a half step back, and revealed a charming smile that would make people shake their bones and could not refuse:
"Out of the memory of your bloodline, the reward for your interesting performance in the game, and the recognition of the personality potential you have shown, I will tailor a path to ascension for you that also leads directly to the gods.
Then, I will give you another great fortune that may be able to restore the regretful things. Or rather... a trial. Are you willing?"
Zhen Cheng didn't want to refuse such a temptation, but she didn't dare to accept it rashly. She just felt that the guy in front of her was too talkative and his words were vague, which made it difficult for her to understand for a while. So, she did not comment on Qu Yun's invitation.
, instead he asked tentatively:
"I believe in my choices and am willing to bear the consequences. I have never changed my original intention no matter the cost, so in fact I have never regretted anything. The trial you mentioned..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this obvious temptation, the silver-haired girl showed a very hearty and sincere smile: "You have a father and brother, but you have no family ties. You don't care or care about each other at all, and sometimes you even have to deliberately treat each other.
secretly killing each other;
Your great fame has given you countless fans all over the world. Even in the school around you, there are many Yingying Yanyan who are hanging around you. But you have no friends, because there is no one in the world who can understand each other with such a special you.
, people who treat each other as equals;
You have many suitors from rich and powerful people, but after all, you are still young, and your interests are more focused on acting, reasoning, being in the limelight, and the intrigues that you are born with and cannot get rid of. You have not yet had the chance or preparation to meet an unforgettable person.
Lover, so you also have no love.
But will you really not feel any regrets like this?"
Seemingly aware of the disdain on Zhen Cheng's face, Qu Yun smiled and shook her head: "No, kid. Just because you have never regretted it doesn't mean you won't regret it.
When you try your best but cannot make things develop in the direction you expect due to the limitation of your vision, when you feel that you have not made any mistakes but have to bear the consequences of losing something important forever, then you will understand what regret is.
You have never experienced family, friendship, or love, so you have no regrets. This is just a matter of not understanding regret. When you have experienced it and are willing to sacrifice it for something you know well, that is called
"Never regret".
If you want to truly achieve "no regrets" in this world, you can only claim to have no regrets by first becoming omniscient, or at least close to it. Understand the consequences of all your choices first, and be willing to make choices and sacrifices.
Through all the time and in all directions in the universe, I am the only one who dares to say that I have never regretted anything. But now there are not many parts of me that can be called human.
Zhen Cheng, you are not me and you cannot be me.
But because of this, it is possible for you to accomplish some things that I cannot do. The part of you called 'human' may be able to break everything.
Of course, that's assuming you can survive what happens next.
So, I ask you again. Are you willing to accept the extraordinary way that I have tailor-made for you? A kind of extraordinary way that perhaps only you can exert the greatest power in all the heavens and all realms. It can follow every word and be omnipotent.
The power of words and spirits.”
This time, Zhen Cheng nodded.
Qu Yun stretched out her hand and touched the temple of Zhen Cheng's right forehead with her fingertips. A strange rune that did not belong to any writing system in the world grew there like a tattoo.
Of course Zhen Cheng herself couldn't see all this. She only felt that the reality in front of her was abstracted into a distant and fuzzy illusion, and other things that seemed to be innate in her body but had never been noticed by her gradually became clear.
Everything in her field of vision became like a surrealist painting depicting subconscious activities, leaving Zhen Cheng in a long-lasting experience of vague understanding and mystery. It was difficult for her to distinguish the specific meaning of any image in her field of vision, and it seemed that
Everything feels so familiar.
Soon, she noticed the coolness that seemed to be mixed into her body when she touched the mask not long ago. And this thing was accompanied by the marks she left in the secret space earlier, as well as the innate feelings in certain brain areas.
Things are mixed together.
They all gathered on his forehead, giving him a splitting headache, but they were intertwined with the soft comfort brought by Qu Yun's fingers lightly tapping on the surface of the skin, and gradually merged into an indescribable thing.
Finally, she clearly distinguished one image from all the incomprehensible images that were suddenly noticed in her mind.
It was a huge door, with layers of empty rings surrounding it like concentric circles.
Qu Yun's fingers on her forehead seemed to have penetrated her skin, bones, brain, and the boundary between matter and consciousness. She gently pushed open the door in the world she imagined.
