Chen Zhi didn't look back. The voice was too familiar to him. He knew who was speaking in the darkness behind him. He knew that it was him even without looking back.
Another Chen Zhi walked out of the darkness. He walked to Chen Zhi's side, looked sideways at Chen Zhi's indifferent face, and smiled.
"Did you know? In fact, you have died here since that day. Everything you experienced later was a story you made up for yourself. You are the invincible protagonist in this story. How about it?
Is it enjoyable?"
"I'm not invincible, I've lost many times...", Chen Zhi replied calmly.
But the other Chen Zhi put his face in front of Chen Zhi and looked at him with a mocking expression, full of contempt.
"Don't pretend in front of us. I know who you are. You are not afraid of death. What you are afraid of is obscurity and being looked down upon by others.
Jiang Ziya's descendants are so beautiful! In this dreamland that you weave, you feel great, don't you? Do you feel that you are different? You enjoy all this, enjoy that you are an important person, enjoy being high above others, and enjoy being worshiped by others...
…,Is it right?"
"Do you think it's useful to say this?" Chen Zhi suddenly sneered, looked up at the face that looked exactly like his, and said calmly with his eyes still,
"I'm not as fragile as you think. I know what is true and what is false. I am not dead, I am always alive! I am very real, and you are the false one. You are nothing more than the fear in my mind. Now
I am no longer a coward, I can face all the fears in the world, and I can also face the fears in my own heart..."
"You are really smart! You can distinguish between reality and illusion, and you know that I come from your own fear, hahaha..." Another Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled exaggeratedly,
"But..., Chen Zhi, have you ever thought about why you are afraid? And..., why are you here? Is it to maintain the barrier? Is it for humans? Is it true...,
Isn’t that too noble?”
"I don't know what you mean!" Chen Zhi lowered his eyes, no longer looking at the face that was exactly the same as his, and his voice was very cold.
"Do you really not know who the mole is?" The other Chen Zhi tilted his neck and looked into Chen Zhi's eyes.
"I don't know!", Chen Zhi answered affirmatively.
"Hahaha~~~~~, liar!" Another Chen Zhi suddenly laughed, "Actually, you know everything, you are a coward, you want to lie to yourself, you are unwilling to face reality...,
Hahaha~~~, you coward~~".
When Chen Zhi said this, he suddenly held up Chen Zhi's face with both hands, and stared at Chen Zhi's ferocious eyes. There seemed to be countless lights and shadows in his eyes, as if he could see through Chen Zhi.
The corners of his mouth were grinning in an exaggerated way, almost like a ghost.
"Chen Zhi, I'm going to tell you now, why do you have to come here! Why do you sacrifice your life for the spirit stone! You are not doing it for the barrier, nor for human beings or so-called justice, you are doing it to atone for your sins,
To atone for your heinous sin..."
It seems that after Chen Zhi said these words, he suddenly disappeared, and only Chen Zhi was left in the dark space.
Chen Zhi stood there without moving. His eyes quickly searched the space, looking at everything in the cellar. Everything here was so real. His uncle's body was right in front of him, and
It still feels tactile when touched.
Next to his uncle's withered arm, there was a row of extremely inconspicuous marks, which looked like scratches on the ground. The string of marks were details that Chen Zhi had always forgotten.
At that time, when Chen Zhi took off his uncle's watch, he saw this detail and thought it was just a series of meaningless scratches. Later, the Youth Forge was burned down by fire, his uncle's body disappeared, and all the people in the cellar
All the clues were burned away by the fire, and Chen Zhi was the only one who saw the traces.
At that time, Chen Zhi did not know the divine writings and had never left these traces in his memory. However, Chen Zhi now knew that they were a series of inverted characters carved on the ground with a powerful curse.
, these characters use the structure of Morse code. After reassembly, it is a sacred text that only their Jiang clan can understand...
Before Chen Zhi could identify the divine words, his brain suddenly started to hurt. This pain was so heart-piercing that he couldn't stand it anymore. Chen Zhi screamed loudly and covered his head, closing his head.
His eyes were blinded, but when he opened them, he was still in this dark space. His uncle's body was gone, and the entire cellar was what it looked like after it was burned by fire.
Chen Zhi stood here like this for a long time. He was not worried about time because he found that the clock on his work clothes had stopped and the minute and second hands were motionless. In other words, in this space, time does not exist.
of.
Although there was no time in this space, Chen Zhi could really feel the pain all over his body. He had stood there for too long, and the pounding headache just now made him nervous. He took a few steps forward and found a
He sat down in the corner.
Everything here was too dark, and the damp musty smell on the ground and the burnt smell from the fire hit his nose. He looked above his head. The entrance to the cellar was still open, but Chen Zhi did not try to climb.
Escape from that entrance because he knows that everything here is an illusion and the most persistent thing in his mind.
Chen Zhi thought to himself that maybe the legend about the evil mirror platform in the first palace of Yama is true. Maybe King Qin Guang is just a legendary figure, but there really is something like the evil mirror platform in the palace of the first palace of Yama.
The same thing can reflect a person's sins and merits and demerits. Maybe in the eyes of this evil mirror, Chen Zhi is really a sinful person. Or maybe, the ultimate judge of people is themselves.
Chen Zhi sat in that corner for a long time, thinking of various ways to escape from here. He even tried to recite a lot of mantras, trying to activate the Fiery Curse and the Wind and Thunder Curse to break through the space, but he immediately discovered that,
Any spell is meaningless in this space. This entire space belongs to another place, and he is here now, just a bystander.
"..."
Chen Zhi suddenly heard a small sound. If he listened carefully, it seemed to be the cry of a person.
Although Chen Zhi is no longer afraid of ghosts and darkness, for some reason, after hearing this voice, Chen Zhi's heart still tightened. He followed the voice and looked ahead, only to see the dark figure.
In the corner, layers of cold fog rose, and there seemed to be a person crying.
