All the images penetrated the life of the purgatory worm, penetrated the shining soul stone, and finally penetrated the agreement carved on the surface of the soul stone, falling into three pairs of eyes.
In the tavern.
The three of them watched the person named Bamusi completely fall into the devil's trap without realizing it, and finally withdrew their gaze little by little.
The female devil held up her soul stone and said, "Look, it's a perfect masterpiece."
The devil is a little proud, every soul stone is like a work of the devil, and the female devil feels that even among the devils, she is at least an artist.
When she showed her soul stone to Quetzalcoatl and the ancient metal doll demon spirit, she did so with the intention of showing off.
The female devil sniffed the soul stone, and a power of depravity, sin and obsession filled her body.
Let her be intoxicated.
"This is the person I'm looking for."
"She is not strong, but no matter how many times she does it, she will never repent because there is no such word in her consciousness."
"She never feels that she is wrong, and she never admits that she is guilty."
"Only the soul stone created by such a person will not collapse because the agreement is broken."
"Only such a person will fall into the prison of endless reincarnation and create an eternal soul stone and a great devil."
The female devil looked at the contract carved on the soul stone. This was the agreement between her and Bamusi.
Only by fulfilling this agreement will the devil fulfill his original promise.
The agreement between Bamusi and the devil is to prove her innocence in one reincarnation, that is, to choose to repent and make other choices in one reincarnation.
But it seems that this kind of thing will never happen to her.
"Of course, this is just my way of creating the soul stone. Other devils also have their own favorite ways, choosing people who have committed different heinous crimes."
"But what I like most are these people. The soul stones they create are really great."
Misil and Kurmis also understood it completely.
The composition of this soul stone is that the power of the devil is turned into stone, the consciousness of mortals is attached to the worm, the eternal sinful desires are turned into agreements, and the fictitious memories are turned into prisons.
A person who has made an agreement with the devil is like a millstone, constantly pushing the millstone to rotate, prolonging the devil's life and increasing the devil's power.
However, it is not that simple to find a suitable extremely evil person and create a high-quality soul stone, because if it fails, the devil will also suffer trauma.
So even the devil will look for those special people who have committed extremely heinous sins, those who are completely obsessed with it.
Just like the people with the desires of gods that various pantheons are looking for, the type of people that the devil is looking for are also extremely scarce.
Misil asked the first question: "So what really happened to Bamous?"
The devil said: "She killed her brother with that axe, robbed all the food and imprisoned her in the attic and starved her sister to death. Finally, after spring, her crime was discovered and she was hanged on the gallows."
Kurmis asked: "How many devils like you are there in Purgatory?"
The devil said: "There are not many, but there are bugs everywhere. Not all purgatory worms can become devils, just like not all devils can become big devils."
The female devil took off the waiter's clothes and ended the conversation and transaction.
As she was leaving, Mihir asked her why she didn't give herself a name.
The female devil thought for a moment and told Misil.
"Or, call me Bamusi?"
The devil had a name for the first time, and then he walked into the crowd and disappeared. I don't know whether he was looking for the next person to commit a heinous crime or what he was doing.
In the tavern, Misil and Kurmis finished their last glass of wine.
Michel: "Interesting."
Kurmis: "The harvest is not small."
The two also had ideas about what they wanted to do, and stood up to say goodbye to each other. Kurmis invited Misil to visit his golden land when he had time, and Misil also returned to his workshop.
The devil Bamusi came to purgatory and knelt under the throne of the Lord of Purgatory.
"Owner."
"I've accomplished my mission."
Up high, two people were talking.
"Why do you need to befriend Misil? Although he is an ancient god, he is still just an apostle?"
"Because we also need to use the power of the demon spirit clan to go to the depths of the star realm."
-------------------
The manufacturing workshop of the Pyrogen Steam Train.
Michel was busy quietly in the corner of the workshop, moving in rack after rack of the latest props.
It was a magic crystal photo camera, a magic crystal video recorder, a photo bead synthesis platform, and finally a magic crystal video player.
The first two are used for taking photos and videos, while the latter two can freely edit and dub the story, and even convert and modify the color and content, and finally play it out.
recent.
In the line of knowledge, after the God of Contracts and Codes who had mastered the power of writing, there were also those who took other paths to become gods, such as the God of Music, the God of Sculpture, etc.
And one of them became a god and was known as the God of Cinema.
He does not have a temple, or his temples are just movie theaters. His influence has been very popular recently, far exceeding that of other gods.
Misil's set is the same model he got from the theater of the god of cinema. He has recently learned how to play with this kind of thing and how to make a movie.
It is different from the simple shooting that Misiel imagined. Any changes or deletions will produce completely different effects and things. It may just be that one fragment is missing, and the final story may be another story.
"alright."
Misil finally fiddled with these things, and after placing them straight, he saw a ray of light projected in front of him.
The magic crystal video player is playing the life of Misil.
Michel sat quietly in the corner watching his own movie, reviewing his life experiences.
After watching Bamusi trapped in endless reincarnation, he would always think about whether there would be times in his life when he would be like Bamusi, repeating a certain choice. We always think that the next
One time we would change, but the next time we would choose to repeat.
We always think that we will change, but in fact we never change.
We may occasionally make different choices, but then be back to the starting point the next moment.
Michael would still think about whether he could do better if life gave him another chance.
a few days ago.
Misil input all his memories into the time control machine. The time control machine's control over time has been further strengthened, and the time ratio has been controlled at nine-tenths nine-nine-nine-nine...eight.
However, through this attempt, Misil also figured out some of the principles of the time control machine, and even the secrets of the dream species.
At that time, the more information the time control machine absorbed about the world and the more secrets it knew, the more powerful it could control time.
And those who know the world best are constantly recording the world’s various hidden carriers.
It's life.
However, compared to ordinary information and memories, if all the emotional memories are injected into it, the time control machine can obtain a more powerful bonus. The reason for this is not very clear to Myth.
But it was impossible for Misil to inject all his memories, including the emotions of these memories, into it, which would be equivalent to him becoming a different person.
Gradually, Michael finished his life.
He stood up, looked at the metal structure magic crystal video player on the side, and turned the knob on it.
"Kacha!"
The image stopped and turned into a bead falling down.
Misil thought back on his life and the scenes of Bamusi in the soul stone.
He decided to play videos for the passengers on his time train.
But it's not about playing the passengers' lives.
Rather, it is another life for the passengers.
When each passenger boards the train of Mir, he will let the passenger's consciousness enter the time control machine and return to a certain beginning in his memory.
Then let him go on another road, and let the passengers make choices again and again on this road to reach another life.
Some are similar to those in soul stones, but some are different.
However, the passenger's memories of this period of life, and all the love and hate of this period of his life, will eventually remain in the time control machine and become the nutrients of the time control machine.
And finally.
Michelle will automatically crop the video and make it into a gift for the other party.
Next.
Misil integrated the Magic Crystal Photo Camera, Magic Crystal Video Recorder, Photo Bead Synthesizer and Magic Crystal Video Player together, and finally created a micro theater.
Michel called it: "The Theater of Life Change and Choice."
He came to the big hole in the center of the workshop, passed through the golden ripples and entered the realm of time control.
As he approached, the square cone continued to enlarge.
at last.
He entered the inside of the square cone and placed the mini theater into the core of the time control machine.
What I could see was that deep inside the square cone-shaped object, there was something that looked a bit like a photo-shooting machine, but it was entirely made of metal and gears.
"Crack, scratch, scratch, scratch."
The gears behind this miniature theater began to rotate, driving beads to continuously slide out from high places.
And through the hollow behind it, you can see the densely packed beads rising and falling inside.
Just like everyone's life.
------------------
King Topa train station.
The king has ceased to exist in name only, but the station named after him remains.
A downcast middle-aged man carrying a suitcase walked through the station and entered the waiting hall of the station. There was a sea of people inside, and there was a smell that was a combination of rust, sweat and various other smells.
He was a businessman who originally wanted to expand his business in the bright land far away. Everyone said that there was gold flowing there.
But as soon as he transferred his business there, his partner ran away with his money and assets.
He is bankrupt.
He lost everything, including his family who also left him.
He didn't know where he should go, so he looked around at the ticket window at the station.
He asked: "Are there any sightseeing trains coming recently?"
The conductor said: "Mir's sky train will pass here soon."
The man has also heard of this famous train: "Buy me a ticket. By the way, is there food on the train?"
All the money he had left was just enough to buy a ticket. If there was no food, he would have to go hungry.
Conductor: "Of course."
He chose the legendary sightseeing train, which was the sky train of the legendary ancient demon Misil.
Its most famous project is to travel around the world, and the places and stops on each trip are different.
But it is precisely because of this that many people flock to it.
The man's tail was wrapped around the high stool, reading a newspaper and waiting quietly. Soon, a sound came from deep inside.
"The Michel Sky Train traveling around the world is about to depart. Passengers on the train are requested to immediately..."
The man immediately ran over with his suitcase and saw a train of astonishing length, with no tail visible at a glance.
The entire train is shiny and new, with beautiful patterns on it, and magic patterns engraved on the wheels. The doors open with pneumatic gates, and there are soft cushions inside. It exudes a luxurious atmosphere from the inside out.
The man boarded the train and heard the conductor introduce the train.
Recently, a special service appeared on the Mir Sky Train, which aroused the attention of passengers.
Man: "Time Travel Carriage?"
The train conductor said: "Passengers in the time travel car can get exclusive box seats, and at the same time gain life-changing experience and the opportunity to choose a theater and watch movies."
The man asked: "How much does it cost?"
The train conductor said: "You can upgrade for free with your ticket."
The man was a little interested. After all, he could exchange his ordinary train ticket for a special box seat ticket for free. This was a completely different enjoyment.
Although the Sky Train is already the fastest train in the world, who wouldn’t want a more comfortable environment?
The man handed over his ticket and received a special ticket.
There is a mysterious line written on the ticket: "Welcome to time travel and keep the beautiful and fleeting time."
The man followed the guide and walked forward, and finally entered a carriage with golden lights. The bright and dazzling lights made people feel better in an instant, and the man felt that the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
The carriage door opens and then closes automatically.
He doesn't know that the time he experiences from now on is no longer the same as the outside, although the difference between the two is not big now.
The carriage was divided into individual compartments. The man opened the compartment door with his suitcase and walked inside. The golden light outside dimmed, making the interior look a bit dark and dull.
He saw a bed inside and a curtained space on the other side.
He opened the curtain, and there was a strange machine inside, with a chair placed in front of the machine.
There is a pattern-like inscription on the top metal shell of the machine, which reads:
If the path of life gave you a second choice, what path would you choose?
Do you choose to move forward bravely, or stay where you are?
Will you make the same mistakes again?
Will the happiness you once had at your fingertips become something you miss beyond your reach?
He remembered what the train conductor said before: "Get a life-changing experience and choose a theater to watch movies."
The man sat down and saw the golden sphere embedded in the machine in front of him emitting light. A piece of information was passed into the man's mind, which was about life changes and how to choose a theater.
"Please select the memory node to return to."
The man immediately hesitated, what should he choose?
Do you choose to go back to before the business failed?
Or should we choose to go back further and return to the previous opportunity?
Or go back to when you were younger, yes, there were more opportunities then.
But, in that case, my wife and children would be gone, right?
But thinking of his family who abandoned him, he immediately said.
"who cares!"
"If you don't have it, then you don't have it. If you have money, what don't you have?"
"Besides, it's just a video."
After thinking for a long time, the man finally made his choice.
"Kakakakakaka."
The man turned the knob and saw the golden sphere rotating continuously, and he also saw his memories constantly rewinding, all the way back to when he was young.
Finally, a strong light flashed.
The man came to his senses.
It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment of confusion, but for some reason the man felt a strong sense of exhaustion.
He looked left and right: "Is this the end?"
He heard a voice coming from the machine: "Winter! Winter! Winter! Winter! Winter!"
A bead kept colliding and falling inside the machine, and finally fell into a drawer nearby.
He picked up the bead and could see a large number of pictures circulating inside, all of which seemed to be about him.
He remembered the life changes he had received before and how to choose the cinema. After searching for a long time on the machine, he finally found a hole in the upper right corner.
He put the beads into it again, and saw the Life Change and Choice Theater glowing with light and projecting a picture.
in.
It is playing about his life, the life after another choice.
He saw scenes from his childhood, which he could not remember clearly, appearing before his eyes bit by bit.
When I was a child, my family was very poor.
He lived in a slum, and the house in his memory always leaked. When it rained, there was always the sound of water dripping into pots and pots. The family ate moldy food distributed from the relief center affiliated to the temple.
, I can’t eat a few pieces of meat all year round.
Therefore, he was thin and small when he was a child, and even when he became an adult, he was not tall. Fortunately, he still had a smart head. When he grew up, he was admitted to the Magic Crystal Item Skills Academy established by the temple.
With the emergence of magic crystal props over time, various countries and forces began to need a group of ordinary people who can skillfully manipulate magic crystal props.
He went to the college happily, put on new clothes, held his head high, and changed his appearance.
I thought I could become a master from now on.
But when he arrived at the academy, the teacher announced to everyone that he came from the slums and was recruited through special recruitment, and placed him in a corner without any concealment.
At that time, the teacher made a joke about him, which made everyone laugh mockingly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He didn't speak, but he felt extremely humiliated.
The series of bad things he experienced next also made him taciturn.
Poverty, humiliation and lack of dignity, loneliness and insecurity always accompanied him in the first half of his life.
Perhaps from that day on, he developed an infinite desire for money and status, a desire so strong that no one else could match it.
He always felt that the people around him looked down upon him, and he always felt that every look from around him was filled with contempt, whether it was true or not.
When I grow up.
He started working hard to make more money.
Because money can bring him infinite security, he saves the money he earns and hardly spends it.
He feels that every money he spends consumes his sense of security. He invests the money to make more money, and he is determined to be a big businessman.
He treats everyone around him harshly, does not trust everyone around him, and feels that everyone is following him because of money and interests. When he really thinks about it, things will completely move in this direction.
direction evolution.
His partner betrayed him and his family left him.
But this time, life in the film is different.
He took another path. He seized the opportunity when he was young and rose to the occasion. He became richer and had a higher starting point.
"look!"
"changed."
Even if it was just an illusion in the theater, it made him happy, and a burst of false hope surged in his heart.
He saw that he had married a more beautiful wife and had two more children. He saw that he had the huge wealth that he had dreamed of, and he laughed out loud while sitting in the box.
"Yes, this should be the real me."
"As long as I am rich enough and as long as I don't lose everything, no one dares to leave me and everyone will compliment me."
"I will be happy, I have everything, and I am not afraid of anything."
This time, he became even more powerful.
This time, no one dared to betray him.
He watched his other self become the richest man in Topa Kingdom.
He saw himself stacking money into a mountain and sleeping on it. He smelled the smell of money, and the smell made him feel at ease like no other.
but.
No matter how he makes money or how he improves his status, it seems that nothing is enough for him.
He always wants more and is always stronger.
He didn't know how to stop. It seemed that stopping would make him feel scared and panicked. He felt that if he stopped, he would lose everything.
He saw that he had forced his wife to death for money and then married another man.
In order to gain status and become a member of parliament, he forced his daughter to marry a one-eyed military officer who was about the same age as himself.
He sent his son to the battlefield, called it training, and finally became an honorary father after the other party died in battle, and finally became a parliamentarian during elections and speeches.
In order to obtain higher money and status, he can sacrifice everything.
The timeline was getting closer to his current age, so he saw himself becoming a loner again, in another way.
The video ended and the man stared blankly at the video.
"like."
"Not bad, I actually sat in as a member of the national parliament?"
The man laughed, but for some reason his laughter was dry.
Suddenly, he patted the chair.
"Damn it, it's fake."
"Why am I still a loner?"
"Is it a lie?"
The more the man thinks about it, the angrier he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the less he can accept it.
He once again opened the theater of life choices and changes, and then began to choose nodes in the world again.
This time, he had a different ending, but in the end he was still a loner.
Time and time again, men keep trying, with good and bad endings.
Every time, he always achieves some success, but always loses something.
But no matter how much he gained, he always felt that it was not enough.
"There is something wrong. There must be something wrong with this machine." He began to blame the machine, thinking that there was something wrong with it.
"Liar, how could I do this?" He felt that he had been fooled.
"Why, why is this happening?" However, he also began to doubt himself.
during this process.
The train stopped again and again and restarted again and again. The man always surrounded the machine without even taking a look.
He missed one stop after another.
finally.
The sky train circled the world and was about to arrive at the place where he started.
There is also his final stop.
After looking at the different options many times, gradually the man suddenly understood.
It’s not that you understand life, but you understand yourself.
"No, I will always become a loner."
"Because I am a loner at heart and refuse to accept anyone, so I am destined to lose everyone."
"It's not that they left me, but that I was destined to abandon them."
It has nothing to do with how much money he has or his status, but it has been decided from the beginning that he is a loner.
It was decided from the beginning that he would ignore all other people in his life and only pursue the wealth that made him feel peaceful.
The man looked at himself in the video and found it difficult to accept it.
"Why?"
"Why can't I stop for a moment and enjoy life?"
"I have so much money, why can't I be nicer to my family? Even if I give out part of it, it will be enough..."
"Why can't you trust others, even if you give a little bit..."
He has many whys.
The man was very unhappy, and he even wanted to jump into the movie and make choices for his other self.
But he himself knows that no matter how powerful he is in words now, when he really encounters the situation, he will definitely do it just like in the movie.
Because, he is that kind of person.
Finally he lay on the bed and said helplessly.
"It turns out that I am such a person!"
For the first time, a man felt that he could see himself so clearly, a self with low self-esteem, greed, and selfishness, a self that was extremely eager for money and status.
But after truly gaining money and status, there are those who still feel that it is not enough.
While lying on the bed, he looked at the roof of the car.
"What exactly do I want?"
"Money, happiness, family?"
"What is it that I am constantly chasing? Why can't no matter how much money I have, I can't satisfy my inner desire for money and status?"
The man tossed and turned, and finally stood up again and came to the Life Change and Choice Theater.
He kept putting beads into it, watching the changes and choices in his life that had occurred before.
"Why on earth, why did I become like this?"
"Why did I become this person?"
Suddenly, he actually hated himself a little.
Gradually, the train arrived at the station again.
The man put the beads into it again, and he saw himself again as a child.
He finally understood something.
Man: "I just want to fill in what I once lacked, but the things of the present can never replace or fill the past."
The man was silent and pressed his hand on the knob.
He seemed to want to start over.
But this time, he wanted to start from the moment he was born.
But he only turned halfway and then stopped.
He hesitated.
Because if even the self he was when he was a child was re-chosen, would this self still be him?
Doesn't such a choice completely doubt and abandon one's own existence?
"Dongdongdong."
At this time, the flight attendant suddenly knocked on his door, and the man came to his senses, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the door and saw the train conductor telling him.
"Hello, sir."
"Your scheduled terminal has arrived."
The man nodded, he carried the box blankly and walked out. As he stepped out of the car door, all the beads he generated were injected into the Life Choice and Change Cinema, flowing to the terminal.
At this time, the flight attendant shouted: "Please invite the next time passenger."
In the midst of a huge crowd.
The man got off the bus, looked up and saw the name on the bus station.
“King Topa Station.”
He felt like he was in another world, but he still felt like he was wandering back to the same place.
He had obviously boarded the best sightseeing train in the world, but he had never taken a good look at the scenery outside. He spent the whole process in that dull carriage.
He had clearly embarked on a longed-for journey around the world, but he arrived at the end point in such a mess.
He suddenly remembered the name of the micro theater.
Standing at the intersection of the station, he raised his head and looked into the distance and said.
“What is more important in life is which path to choose, or to change yourself?”
There were other people walking out of the carriage like the man, and everyone seemed to have some insights, and everyone's insights were different.
in.
It seems that some people have really made changes, while others still choose to maintain the past.
The so-called life choice and change theater is just a special movie viewing.
The only difference is that since then, the tradition of changing the placement of life and choosing a theater has begun to appear in the magical vehicles of the Demon Spirit Clan. People who board the Demon Spirit Vehicle for the first time will also try it.
