man sanctified in death row vest

In the deepest part of "here" lies a most entangled "knot".

Zheng Xiu couldn't believe what he saw.

Zheng Xiu has read and listened to several versions of the incomplete ancient book "Sun Chaser Talk".

It records the legend of the first alien named "Zhu".

What is a legend?

The so-called legends are illusory, difficult to distinguish between true and false, and have a long history, so they can be called legends.

1000 years ago, Zhu chased the "scorching sun", traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, crossed the desert, and climbed up that mountain.

He was on that mountain, chasing "Scorching Sun".

Two hundred years ago, Xie Luohe, a stranger from birth, chased the footsteps of "Zhu", crossed the Green River, and arrived in the desert with Gongsun Mo. They also arrived there and found traces of Zhu.

After that, Zheng Xiu followed the footsteps of Xie Luohe and Gongsun Mo, and arrived at Sun Cicada Valley again to seek the truth.

now.

Zheng Xiu entered the [Ancient Battlefield], because of his willfulness and Feng Bei's recklessness, after Zheng Xiu let Zheng Haoran survive, a huge distortion created a new world line "red spot".

In the red dot world, behind the "mirror" under the palace, leads to a strange space. Just like the "Sun Chaser" back then, Zheng Xiu walked a long "road", climbed the "mountain" at the end, and came to At a high place, the deepest "knot" has been reached.

then.

In that "knot", he saw the "day-by-day boy" with pure and innocent eyes.

"ridiculous!"

"ridiculous!"

"ridiculous!"

After a moment of astonishment, anger and helplessness for no reason followed.Zheng Xiu let out a low growl, and punched the "mirror surface" with his fists.

Black ripples followed Zheng Xiu's fist and rippled on the mirror. Behind the mirror, the unkempt young man whose face could not be seen clearly had incomparable longing in his innocent eyes among his messy long hair.

Zheng Xiu was taken aback.

This knot is not the "artifact" of the past!
Although there was no proof, Zheng Xiu felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at those innocent eyes like a newborn baby.

1000 years ago, "Zhu" was still a teenager, he saw "Zheng Xiu" through the "scorching sun"!
Zheng Xiu saw Zhu, Zhu also saw Zheng Xiu!

The chasing boy was eager and excited, and he was talking about something.Zheng Xiu tried hard to recognize what he said from the shape of his mouth, and soon Zheng Xiu found that he failed.The Chasing Boy didn't speak some kind of words, he might not even be able to speak, like a newborn beast, he only knew the purest and primitive cry.

Zheng Xiu and Zhu, separated by a seemingly thin barrier for 1000 years, are looking at each other while they are in full swing, while gradually getting colder.

After a while.

The longing and excitement on the young man's face were suddenly extinguished, he suddenly started to cry, paced back and forth in front of the "scorching sun", sometimes squatting on the ground like a monkey, sometimes scratching his ears and cheeks.

Crying and crying, the daily boy smiled.

He grinned.

The smile is as innocent as the warm sun in winter.

The unkempt boy approached the "mirror surface" little by little.

Zheng Xiu watched this scene quietly.

He couldn't help imagining a picture in his mind: when the primitive man hundreds of millions of years ago faced the first ray of flame between heaven and earth, when he approached because of his desire for warmth, his expression of anticipation and fear.

The next moment, the white part of the boy's eyes was dyed black.

There was no light in the originally black pupils.

The scene in "Scorching Sun" freezes.

Zheng Xiu witnessed the birth of "Zhu" with his own eyes.

"What he saw in the 'scorching sun' was actually me?"

"Is he polluted by 'me'?"

"It is said that the candle was melted because it was too close to the scorching sun."

"absurd!"

"Space-time paradox?"

"There are no candlesticks in this world, so this becomes the anchor 'red point', the biggest 'knot'?"

"How can there be such a ridiculous thing!"

"That's ridiculous!"

"That's ridiculous……"

"That's ridiculous."

"too……"

puff.

Zheng Xiu sat on the ground slumped, his eyes blank.

"Annie said that there is a 'knot' here. She kicked me in, as if to let me see all this with my own eyes, and see the existence of these 'knots'."

"But Annie was wrong."

"She was wrong."

"There's more than one knot here, there are many, many, many knots."

"The biggest knot...is unsolvable."

"I can't create someone out of thin air that never existed."

"Even if I play Zhu, I can't travel back to 1000 years ago."

"No solution! No solution! No solution!"

"This thing itself is wrong!"

"It's wrong!"

"There can be no 'answer'!"

Sad in his heart, Zheng Xiu laughed and jumped off the "mountain".

Boom!
Zheng Xiu smashed on Ripple.

No pain at all.

He lies in the vastness of nothingness.

This place is not only deprived of the passage of time, deprived of the sun, moon and stars, but even his "death" has become a luxury wish here.

He watched the strange scene of the black streamer washing away like a waterfall, and lay there for an unknown amount of time.

There was silence all around.

Zheng Xiu didn't know how long he had been lying down.

Like a day, a night, a summer, an autumn, a year.

Ah...it doesn't matter anymore.

Zheng Xiu closed his eyes.

He recalled bits and pieces from birth.

Zheng Xiu suddenly felt that his existence was ridiculous, and now he couldn't even tell which part was his "true past".

Is it "Dawn", or "Eternal Night", or "Red Spot"?
Which life in the world line is the life he has really experienced?

When every part of life is within reach, Zheng Xiu feels that even this little "truth" still makes him confused, unable to distinguish what is true, what is false, what is now, what is past, what is future.

"Ah... this is a fucking god."

This bizarre experience made Zheng Xiu feel powerless.He was lying under the void at this moment, sighing with the most helplessness.

In the face of the nihilistic power that can play with time and the world, all he can do is to observe and live in the present moment. That feeling of powerlessness, like a flood, instantly destroyed Zheng Xiu's usual self-esteem and pride.

Nothing to be proud of.

Wealth, fame, beauties, and thaumaturgy are all so insignificant in front of the mighty power that can change the world. Ordinary people in the world are as humble as ants, and they don't even know that their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. .

Zheng Xiu sat up and took a deep breath.After such a comparison, Zheng Xiu changed his mind and felt that he was lucky compared to others.At least he can "observe" what changes have happened around him, he can "observe" gains and losses, right and wrong, honor and disgrace, joy and sorrow, even if he dies like this, his life is not in vain.

"call……"

"call……"

"call……"

Zheng Xiu smiled bitterly, and his long breathing made a particularly clear sound in this lonely space.

"Fengbei..."

Zheng Xiu murmured like a dream.

At this time.

The "li" on his little finger, which looks like an annual ring, flickers slightly.

I don't know if it was "reason" that affected Zheng Xiu or Zheng Xiu's subconscious actions.

His little finger hooked lightly.

……

The blood-colored sky is covered with brown ash.

Collapsed high-rise buildings, decaying Ferris wheel, bridges covered with hideous vines, and roads sunken deep underground.

A woman in a pitch-black plumage, as if wrapped in a layer of black mist, sat alone on a rusty, crooked iron tower.Looking at the devastated "world" in front of her eyes, the strange scene, the woman gently took off the crow-like mask on her face.

Under the mask, a fair face was revealed, with neither joy nor sorrow on the delicate features.

In the depths of the pupil of her right eye, a circle of distorted light wheel was rotating, exuding an ominous brilliance.

The falling brown mist was like a piece of goose feather snow, getting deeper and deeper.

The woman stared into the distance and stood up from the rusty iron tower.

In the sky, a ferocious "face" suddenly appeared.

The falling dust suddenly freezes.

The woman silently puts back the crow mask.

The whole body of the crow-shaped mask was pitch black, covering the face, leaving only a hole at the position of the right eye.

The moment the mask is put on, the woman seems to become another person.

The dark feathers turned into her wings, flying behind her, and she floated into the air.

"Yo? The annoying guy is catching up again."

boo~
Next to the shoulder of the woman suspended in the void, a distorted blood-red light flashed, and an elegant bat landed gently on her shoulder.

"It's okay." The woman's voice was cold: "I will fight out."

"Oh, you, cold, how can anyone hurt someone?" The bat on the bat on the woman's shoulder shakes her head, and the crystal clear wings are scratching their ears with the shape of the paws, making a lack of beating. attitude.

The woman is silent.

In the air, hideous monsters rushed down the clouds.

They can't even be called "monsters".It seems that someone has cut up the fragmentary human, animal, and even plant corpses and put them back together to form a new "toy", which exudes an ugly and foul smell.

Bat covered his nose in disgust: "Be quick."

The woman remained silent.

The bat's head tilted: "Don't you...have an opinion? It's okay, just speak out boldly if you have an opinion. The great existence is by no means comparable to mere humans. Waiting will never blame a small human being."

As he said that, the bat's wings flapped skillfully, like a showdown, a crystal clear red stool swirled arrogantly on the tip of its wings.

Countless "monsters" swooped down.

The woman glanced at the "stool".On the "throne", which is only the size of a fingernail, everything that countless beings desire is condensed.She knew that it was something called "authority", as long as she had authority, she would... be able to realize all her wishes.

The woman looked away with difficulty, shook her head, and answered concisely: "Nothing."

"Tsk, an annoying character, so mere human beings are troublesome." The little bat flapped its wings, put away its "authority", and continued to pick its ears.It pulled out a piece of dark red "earwax" from its ear and popped it out.

"Boom~"

The ugly face transformed by the gray mist in the sky faced the "earwax" and disappeared in an instant.

The woman tilted her head in doubt.

The bat's wings were puddled, and he chuckled: "This is not considered a move, it is just throwing away the garbage."

The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "Dirty."

The bat is in a hurry: "You should show some respect."

The woman is silent.

"Human beings, you have to be grateful."

The woman nodded: "Thank God."

"Bah! You should be grateful for the great existence in front of you! Don't forget who saved you from the fate of 'obliteration'! Mere human beings, do you understand the gold content of obliteration?"

The woman nods.

The bat clutched its forehead in despair: "Ah... what a boring human being, but it's okay, only human beings will give birth to the 'desire' to climb to the top because of boring 'persistence'. Hehehe... If it's not... Forget it, hurry up, it stinks too much here."

Woman takes off black gloves.

At this time, her little finger involuntarily hooked slightly.

The woman trembled all over, and an inconceivable gleam appeared in her cold right eye.

Countless hideous and ugly monsters surrounded her.

"Ah."

Under the mask, the woman smiled sweetly and slapped her palm.

Huge black palms were printed in the sky.

The next second, the world became clear. Apart from her and the bat, there were no other creatures.

"I will keep the 'promise', be the 'signpost', and find what you are looking for."

The woman's mood improved inexplicably.

……

"Yes, missing, I was told that missing is an unimaginable 'power'."

……

The woman remembered this sentence.

She finally believed it now.

"why are you laughing?"

Realizing that the woman's mood had improved inexplicably, Bat asked curiously.

"You... aren't you omnipotent?"

"...lazy, and boring."

"Ah."

……

"Ah."

Zheng Xiuru, who was lying on the ground, sat up startled in a dying illness, and jumped up suddenly.

He looked in shock at the little finger, where a bunch of "reasons" condensed to the extreme, but almost invisible to the naked eye, stretched out and stretched all the way to the top of the mountain.

"Fuck!"

Zheng Xiu climbed back up the mountain again.

He regretted jumping off.

Impulse.

It took a lot of effort to re-climb the deepest mountain. In the twisted "scorching sun", the boy chasing the sun was no longer visible, only a deep void and darkness remained.

Like a cloud of fog.

"Reason" protrudes into the mirror.

Zheng Xiu was like a little male dog falling into the water, eagerly pawing at the mirror and staring into the distance.

A flickering candlelight faintly emerged inside.

In a very deep place.

It looks like a... lamp.

A light to guide Zheng Xiu.

……

"It's time to cheer up."

Zheng Xiu went back and forth on this road, which is full of "knots", and ran several times.

He calmed down, and his expression had long since disappeared from the shock and confusion when he first came in. No one saw him. In the eyes of the Scarlet King, the fire was like a torch, and his firmness was like iron.

"The orange cat may be wrong."

"What is a 'knot'?"

"Knots cannot be created out of thin air. A knot that can be twisted must have a way to untie it."

"Otherwise, it's another paradox."

"Even if there is a 'dead knot', it can be cut open with a single click."

"There is a way for people to live, and there must be a way."

"Unless, I die."

"Error, needs to be 'fixed'."

Zheng Xiu muttered to himself, and when he said the word "revision", his chest throbbed inexplicably.

He came to a huge "knot" and reached in.

……

"do not want!"

call!
It was dark all around, except for a glimmer of light in the east corner, which was a weak open flame lit in the corner of the room, flickering slightly in the room, casting the shadow of the candlestick on the paper window.

Zheng Xiu woke up from the bed.

He was covered with a festive "囍" quilt.

The person next to the pillow breathes steadily, curled up next to him, the bamboo shoots are white and fragrant.

Zheng Xiu looked down at the sleeping Yue Linglong's profile, lost in thought.

……

In the middle of the night, Zheng Xiu picked up a pen at his desk and wrote down a line.

[Tianjing two years, March [-]th, newly married. 】

【I am back. 】

……

After writing only one sentence, Zheng Xiu tore up the paper and lit it on the candlestick. He looked at the page of "diary" calmly and lit it to ashes.
