Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 4 Prologue and Story

"what?"

Li Daosheng opened his eyes and looked around with some confusion.

Wasn't it about finding an anchor? How did I end up back in the 13th month?

He thought about it and it seemed that he was indeed sent back once, and then...what happened?
He frowned. Why couldn't he remember it at all?

Have I found my anchor? What's going on...

While he was thinking, Gu Xi's voice sounded again.

"You guys were very fast. All thirteen of you succeeded."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, Li Daosheng realized that the twelve people had already found the anchor point and returned, and he was the last one.

He didn't dwell on it for long, attributing this degree of "amnesia" to the strangeness of the Thirteenth Month. Perhaps others were just like him, having found the anchor point but without the relevant memory.

"You guys can stay now."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, books appeared out of thin air, falling from the void and landing in everyone's hands.

"Upon the moment of death, your time in your own world has ended. This book records your past."

This is……

Gu Xi's words made everyone look a little dazed.

My...past.

Although everyone has a completely different personality, at this moment, they all opened the book that records their past.

Li Daosheng glanced around at these strange people and opened his own book. According to his observation, everyone's book was different.

The uncle holding a sword, the naked uncle with horns, the handsome guy holding a spear, the big man with curly beard, and the woman covered in poisonous insects, their books are obviously in the shape of ancient books, and the details are very different.

A cold-faced man in a vest, a girl with mechanical legs, a gentle and handsome guy in a white shirt who looked like an idol star, and myself. The book I got was a more modern version with completely different materials.

As for the others, they were very vigilant and Li Daosheng didn't get a general idea of what the book looked like.

But when he opened his book, he was dumbfounded.

Does this really record the past?

Why is it blank?

He secretly glanced at the others again; everyone seemed immersed in their own stories.

Oops... I seem to have encountered a bug...

My story isn't in my book...

After a long while, Gu Xi spoke again: "I will only tell you the whole story once."

"The reason why I want you to return to your own world to find an anchor is to leave a seed behind."

"Your time in your own world has ended, but because of the existence of the Thirteenth Month, your story has not yet ended."

"You can travel to other worlds. As long as you can leave stories about yourself in other worlds in your book, you will receive... the gift of the thirteenth month."

The naked man with the broken horn uttered his first sound: "What is the gift?"

His voice was extremely powerful and majestic.

For the first time, an expression appeared on Gu Xi's face.

It was a strange expression that was hard to describe, like yearning, yet also like fear. He said very solemnly, "Time."

"Extra time, giving everyone extra time to return to their own world."

Gu Xi looked up at the empty sky and murmured, "Everyone still has important things to do, right?"

"I guess... they all don't want to die."

He lowered his gaze and looked at everyone quietly.

Although there was silence, everyone's heart was indeed filled with resentment and anger.

Even Li Daosheng felt that it was necessary to go back and find out why he died.
Who killed me?

"Let's get back to the point," Gu Xi's expression became mechanical again. "Thanks to everyone's outstanding performance, we have obtained the seeds of thirteen worlds. So, this time we have thirteen worlds to write a new story."

“The chances of getting time have greatly improved.”

Gu Xi slowly floated up, spread out her hands, and looked down at everyone condescendingly:

"Then, the first Thirteenth Month Gift... let's begin."

Everyone stared intently at the figure floating in mid-air. He held out his hands, and vibrant light screens flew out from his palms. Images of thirteen worlds quickly formed a circle, surrounding the thirteen people.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The three ringing bells from all directions made people dizzy.

However, as the bell rang, lines of text flew out from the light curtain of the thirteen worlds, densely packed, forming two paragraphs on the left and right.

Li Daosheng raised his eyes and looked at the paragraph on the left:
[In the 32nd year of Shenwei, wars broke out frequently, the world was in chaos, evil spirits were rampant, and the people were living in misery.]

The old monk from Nanming Mountain, known as Du Nan, has practiced Taoism for many years and has attained profound spiritual attainments. Unable to bear the suffering of ordinary people, he descended the mountain to exorcise demons and save all living beings.

Passing by a village, I saw auspicious clouds covering the sky from afar, but closer I saw a dark aura rising into the sky, and I was horrified.

The human heart is like a mirror, the Buddha's heart is like a mirror. Reflecting others and observing oneself is all based on the thoughts of all living beings.

It is a curse, it is evil, it desires to destroy, it desires to take away. Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.

【Now, it is your turn to pass through this village again.】

Finished writing.

Look at the paragraph on the right:

[The World Tree Company's siege continues. We must stop them from developing the Hypercrystal Energy.]

News has arrived from the border between Lower Town and Upper Town: For enough money, someone can help infiltrate the World Tree branch in Lower Town.

[A new director has arrived at the branch office. He has a skill you need.]

[How to act specifically is up to you.]

Li Daosheng was stunned.

This...is the world of these people so wonderful?

Gu Xi opened her eyes:
"The wedge is set."

The next moment, the two "wedges" floating in the air suddenly split into streams of light and penetrated into the books of several people.

The paragraph on the left went into the books of three people: a handsome man holding a spear, a slim and charming woman with a veil covering her face, and... Li Daosheng.

Li Daosheng immediately opened his book, and sure enough, a paragraph of text finally appeared on the empty page. It was the longer paragraph that had just floated in the air.

The man and woman did the same thing as him and immediately checked their books.

The text on the right was inserted into the books of the other three people.

They are a naked man with horns, an old man holding a sword, and... a woman with poison.

This group of people is outrageous. Not only do two of them fight, but it's basically three "ancients" going to the future world.

"The prologue has chosen you. In a quarter of an hour, you will go to the world described in the prologue."

"You can't come back until the thirteenth month determines that the story is over."

"Or, all die in there."

Gu Xi's words made several people feel a chill in their hearts.

"Those of you who weren't chosen don't have to worry. The 13th Month is very fair, very fair."

"Everyone," Gu Xi first looked at the six people who had been chosen, and then at the others, "This is the last piece of advice I want to give you as a human being."

"You all come from different worlds. The Thirteenth Month will not place any restrictions on your abilities. On the contrary..."

"You must read the stories about yourselves recorded in your books carefully and find the theme."

"Find it, and then..."

"Snapped!"

The girl was talking when her head suddenly exploded, spurting out red and white!
The thirteen people reacted differently, but all stared in the direction of Gu Xi.

The next moment, the blood gathered from all directions and re-formed his head.

But... Gu Xi's expression changed.

"Please wait, countdown, ten minutes."

He spoke mechanically.
