Chapter 916 [The Meteoric Rebirth Cabinet Incident] Act 2

Chapter 916 [The Meteoric Rebirth Cabinet Incident] Act

Inside the high walls, the moon is as red as blood.

A hunchbacked old woman was beating the herbs in the medicine jar with a pestle, making crisp sounds from time to time.

The collision of the plaster medicine bowl and the iron pestle brought about a merciless echo. The house, which was almost empty, seemed to be filled with human corpses in an instant, and then disappeared in the next instant.

The old woman was like a snail crawling on the ground. There was such a huge height difference between her towering back and her lowered face that she looked not like a snail but a deformed piece of stone.

The body was looming, and faint shouting sounds were heard.

There was also a pair of white legs, barefoot and shackled, huddled in the corner, watching in horror as the deformed stone crawled towards her.

"No...don't come over!"

"Help... help..."

A series of shouts came out of her mouth, but no one could hear them. Those seemingly invisible bodies began to overlap again, looming.

Like a wandering ghost, she saw a terrifying scene: broken arms and limbs filled the empty room, and the screams of countless young girls stimulated her eardrums.

She! Will also become a part of this place!

“Don’t be afraid…” The old woman’s face seemed to be embedded in the stone, blending in with her earth-gray clothes.

The old woman's eyebrows and eyes looked particularly ferocious under the red moon. Her weird smile made the corners of her mouth torn open, revealing her sharp teeth like steel rulers.

"Soon, soon, you will no longer be in pain."

The girl panicked and made the shackles on her feet tighter. She retreated quickly but could only hit the wall. She stumbled forward and leaned her head against the wall. She was extremely terrified and posed in her last posture before death.

Her back was straight, her left hand was turned outward and twisted, her right hand was turned inward and folded, her head was tilted to the right, but her face was raised upward, and one of her legs was pointed inward and the other outward, like a possessed monster trying to rush out of this humble body that was terrified in life, in excruciating pain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh-"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh-"

[Whoever it is... please come... save me...]

"In theory, a single Desolate Magic Stone can also satisfy any wish of a person, but it requires a price. I know these settings are a bit cliché, but the price of a Desolate Magic Stone does not require the price of the person himself."

Tsubaki rubbed her nose.

"For example, if a person wants to make a wish with a small piece of Desolate Magic Stone and obtain endless wealth, but the price is a reduction in lifespan, any wish treasure has the restriction of [equivalent exchange]. The principle of this equivalent exchange will also allow the user to offset the cost, and gaining wealth will reduce lifespan."

She looked at Chang Yufeng's calm face and became much more serious.

"However, Xun Huangying himself does not like this equal exchange mechanism, and turns the equal exchange of [owners] into an arbitrary equal exchange. In other words, I gain wealth, and you lose your lifespan."

"This way, things will become much more interesting... and more in line with the requirements of the evil people who use the Wild Magic Stone to make wishes. Kind people are still instinctively worried about what price they need to pay to make a wish, while more evil people can make their own wishes at the cost of others, which is more in line with human logic."

Chun naturally sneered at Huang Yi's magic stone.

"To achieve one's own wish at the expense of others... I'm amazed that Xun Huangying could come up with this idea."

Chang Yufeng looked at Chun seriously, and Chun shrugged indifferently.

"If possible... there's nothing that can't be thought of. Xun Huangying used to be the king in charge of the law. He had seen all kinds of laws for stealing, prostitution, murder, arson, and all kinds of evil. He had seen a lot of things like fulfilling one's own wishes at the expense of others... Only people who are inexperienced or like you who have lived for so long but still don't understand life would find it unreasonable."

Chun also mocked Chang Yufeng for being too positive.

"It's actually reasonable, but it's not fair."

"It's reasonable for him, but unfair for you."

Chun touched another unopened white flower, and the flower slowly and lazily opened, and everything was explained.

"The Huang Yi magic stone possesses powerful power and has no side effects. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find it." Chang Yufeng stood up and sighed.

He now knew the effect of the Huangyi Magic Stone, but he had lost the jade pendant to find the Huangyi Magic Stone. Thinking that it would be a long time before he could find it, he actually felt a little tired.

Maybe he really did have some loneliness symptoms and couldn't muster the courage to face reality again.

"I'm most afraid of this happening to me. I want to find something, but in the end, I have nothing. Isn't this terrible? What I will eventually face is so daunting."

Detached, but not completely detached.

This is the most painful thing...

It's like being stuck on the ground, unable to go up or down...

"You are the only Chang Yufeng who has the memory of a god."

Chun spoke slowly and leisurely, as if telling an ancient saying. There was a possibility that they were old acquaintances.

"He is also the only one who thinks this way. Every Chang Yu Feng in every time and space and star line exists around you, some are furious, some are silent, some are alone, some are as graceful as a startled swan, and some are old and helpless...but none of them are as clear-headed as you. Or maybe it is because you know the history that you can stand out from all the Chang Yu Fengs and gain the trust of Xun Huangying. It is also because of this that you are so entangled. How can you be yourself again?"

Chang Yufeng was listening on the side, his head moving slightly, and for a moment, he felt that Chun was right and it touched his heart.

"I've never seen such a scene before. They've done so much for me, but now I'm a little bit withdrawn. It's true... I don't know how I should... be myself. I don't have a life that flashes by like other people."

My life is spent minute by minute...

My life is suffering every second...

A lonely life every minute...

How should we spend...

Life is meaningless...don't you feel it?

The meaninglessness of life.

"As long as time, space and star lines exist, as long as there is a reciprocating life, as long as I am independent of all other lives... I can't find the meaning of my life... I'm looking for the Desolate Magic Stone..."

He suddenly felt...

After everything that's happened...

Looking for the shadow of the wilderness, growing orchids, with dragons——

The ending of "The Spirit World Record" -

Just give Chang Yufeng an explanation.

That is!
life!

There is no turning back, have consistency, have the past, have the future! Have pain and joy!

That's life...

One! A meaningful life!

It is not a transparent life with any Zen meaning...

But...

A meaningful life...
