Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

But...some of the conscious monsters are different.

They do have distorted emotions, but those emotions have been twisted and deteriorated over a long period of time. In the end, they have become unrecognizable, either deficient, faded, or extreme...

Mei took off the crystal pendant from her neck and placed it in the box.

The pendant was just an ordinary pendant. It had been worn by Alicia for a few days and was contaminated with Alicia's "divinity". It was not a particularly precious or strange thing.

In addition, the "divinity" of the crystal pendant has disappeared, and it has become completely dull. It has lost its special feature, so Mei doesn't feel sorry even if she throws it away.

It would be good to be able to complete the second transaction.

Mei placed the box containing the crystal pendant in the blood.

Once again, Mei saw a figure in the blood, but still could not see the face, only a vague outline was visible.

I compared my memory but still couldn't find anyone similar.

Who on earth is it?

Why is this ghost following me? And what is his true identity...

The box stayed in the blood for three seconds before finally sinking and disappearing.

The ghost began to ask for the last thing.

As Mei was thinking, the blood gradually gathered into a deadly substance - the soul.

The soul is an illusory thing that cannot be verified by science.

Some people even believe that memory is equivalent to the soul, and transferring and preserving the memory to another body is the true self.

Mei did not delve into this research, but Otto Apokalis gave the answer.

Memories can be copied and transferred, but the soul is the only self-verification recognized by the Imaginary Number Tree.

Everyone was filled with joy and looked around, wanting to see the third thing the ghost asked for.

When he saw the soul, the smile on his face disappeared.

This is a direct way to kill her.

The warehouse was silent. Dim light barely filtered through the mottled windows, casting distorted and eerie shadows. Old shelves crumbled, piled high with dusty boxes, arranged in an irregular yet seemingly meticulous arrangement. A cold wind blew through the cracks in the windows, bringing a biting chill and a mournful whine.

Everyone's breathing became rapid and heavy, and their heartbeats roared in their chests like war drums.

Mei was not in any panic, but just looked at the contents of the blood silently.

Suddenly, a delicate and subtle smile gently blossomed on Mei's lips, and she laughed out loud as a silver bell.

"Crack."

With the pistol loaded, Mei took the initiative to walk out of the warehouse and came to the door.

Billions of raindrops came pouring down, but not a single one landed on her head. They deflected in the process of falling and missed Mei's direction.

Similar to the raindrops, there are also cargo ghosts who demand souls.

After Mei left the door, it did not attack but took two steps back.

He raised the pistol, aimed the crosshairs at the ghost's forehead, and fired several shots.

Just like a stream of water, it recovers quickly after being penetrated. Unless the source is extinguished, the ghost will never die.

The smile on Mei's face remained unchanged, and she didn't lower her gun.

"Want it? Come and get it yourself if you have the courage."

After saying that, Mei put down the gun, put the pistol with only one bullet left back on his waist, spread his hands, and slowly closed his eyes.

It's like accepting your fate, choosing not to resist, and waiting for death.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone in the warehouse was nervous.

Soon, three minutes passed, and Mei did not follow the rules to put her soul in the box and offer it.

The cargo ghost suddenly disappeared before Mei's eyes.

But the strange and unique coldness did not disappear, but moved behind him.

Mei didn't react at all, letting the strange and twisted shadow gradually approach her body.

"Be careful!" the people in the warehouse reminded, but it was too late.

The cargo ghost's twisted hands quickly stretched out, and like a ghost, it penetrated into Mei's brain, about to take Mei's soul...

The next second, a huge, deep shadow appeared under the feet of the cargo ghost, like the mouth of the abyss, opening its mouth and swallowing it in one gulp.

The cargo ghost was swallowed, the strange space was shattered, and everyone returned to the real world.

Standing on the shore, Mei looked at the two figures in the water, one was her own, and the other was the ghost following behind her.

Mei walked from the shore into the stream and reached out to touch the human figure.

"who are you?"

The figure did not respond, but simply remained motionless as a reflection on the water.

"Thank you, even though I don't know who you are. My memories and the traces left in the world cannot prove that you and I have ever been connected."

"I'll find a way to find out. Believe me, it won't take long..."

Mei whispered softly to the increasingly blurred figure in the water.

There may be an idea of repaying a favor, but it is more based on rational judgment.

She couldn't allow an unknown ghost with no origin to follow her all the time. It would be a huge threat to her, Alicia and Pado.

If this ghost had been following her for a long time, it meant that Alicia's "divinity" had no effect on it.

My attempt just now indirectly confirmed that the other party has a certain degree of living consciousness and can clearly distinguish objective facts.

Since it can ignore Alicia's "divinity", it also possesses a certain degree of living consciousness.

So what exactly does it want to do?

Mei raised her head. The sky was still drizzling with raindrops, but she couldn't feel it. A barrier separated her from the raindrops.

Holding an umbrella for someone else doesn't seem like something strangers would do for each other.

"Strange, why hasn't Alicia come yet?"

Mei took out the pistol and loaded it again, looking around vigilantly.

"Leave here, go to a place where there is no light."

Mei made an immediate decision and jogged towards the secluded alley she remembered. The street was deserted, and the streetlights faded out one by one, but never completely dimmed.

not right...

Mei didn't stop and glanced around.

It was so quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if she was the only one living in this world.

There was bottomless darkness on both sides of the street, and the outlines of ghosts were looming in the darkness.

The only path you can walk on is the road directly ahead.

Of course, you can also choose to jump into the stream on the side.

The street in my memory is not far. I can reach the end quickly and turn the corner to reach my home.

But today I ran for a long time and still couldn’t see the end, as if this road had no end.

Mei raised his pistol, aimed the crosshairs at the residential building next door, and fired the only bullet.

The gunshots were crisp and disappeared the moment they entered the residential building.

It is not escaping into darkness in the traditional sense. There is a delay in the sound in human hearing, and it is a process of slowly decreasing.

But as the bullets penetrated the residential building, the gunfire stopped abruptly like a water source that suddenly dried up.

The sound of jumping...

"I came to another strange space. I'm really lucky today."

It's really unlucky to encounter two ghosts in a row without any preparation.

Including the ghost that has been following him, there are three of them.

"It seems that there is only one way for me to go."

Mei slowly raised her eyes and sighed helplessly.

Without preparation, without information, and with unknown rules, no matter who comes, they will fall into the same dilemma.

Either you have the power to break the rules, or you can only slowly explore, understand the rules, and use them to avoid bad outcomes.

Of course, most of them will die in the process of groping.

Whether it is a ghost, a human, or any specific social environment.

Those who gaze into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back at them.

This is definitely not something that can be changed by human power.

There are actually very few things a person can change...especially when faced with absolute rules.

It was like... she had once vowed to become a pioneer in exploring the universe, a scientist who would leave behind great achievements in human history, benefiting everyone and leading mankind towards a new civilization.

Later on, I began to become indifferent to human beings themselves. The more I understood, the more I understood my own shallowness. Those who have the ability to change the world will inevitably be changed by the world. Even if they maintain their original intentions, they can only change temporarily and cannot change the course of destiny.

The life of an ordinary person is just a word, just like history, which is itself a statistics made up of a bunch of boring numbers.

When a person knows too much about the dark side of another thing, understands its internal motivations, and enjoys the benefits and convenience it brings, it is difficult to get out of it.

Ghosts... perhaps they themselves are a kind of cosmic law, simply forgotten and abandoned. They languish in the depths of the unknown, and awaken at a certain moment for a special reason.

Its laws are different from the physical laws of nature and are the embodiment of the concept of "absolute".

Accompanied by high-dimensional pollution, the laws of the universe are changed at will.

Just as entropy increase and birth and death are just manifestations of the laws of the universe...

Mei's thoughts were pulled away from the endless speculation, and she walked calmly on the endless street.

The street lights on both sides went out from time to time, and the road under my feet became wider and wider.

She heard many strange noises, some unfamiliar and some familiar.

The surrounding environment is no longer dark, but becomes brighter.

A paper man came bounding up to her and tried to cut off her ankles with its thin paper hands.

It’s a pity that the force was too weak and couldn’t even tear the trouser legs.

"Why are you here?"

Mei squatted down, held the paper figurine in one hand, and looked at it carefully with her head tilted.

Judging from its appearance and the chilling aura emanating from it, it was exactly the same as the one he had encountered before.

But it should have become silent along with the destroyed world. How could it appear in the strange space of the original world?

She had considered accepting the paper ghost's request, painting eyes on it and allowing it to continue its life as a paper figurine. But after some thought, she decided against it. She had no reason to abandon her human body.

At least she hasn't encountered anything that would make her voluntarily abandon her human body and live in a strange form.

It would be nice to die like an ordinary person.

The paper man struggled desperately, but due to the strength of his body, he was unable to escape and was held tightly in Mei's hand.

Mei did not let go and observed patiently.

After struggling for five minutes without success, the paper man stopped resisting.

"Well, tell me why you're here. Maybe I'll grant your last request and paint your eyes with my blood."

"Here, here's a pen."

Mei took the hanging pen from her breast pocket and put it on the ground.

Hearing Mei's words, the paper man immediately cheered up, raised his head, picked up the pen in both hands and wrote on the ground.

This is its law. Even if it has the consciousness of a living person, it still cannot escape its own laws.

“He…”

After writing the first word, the paper man suddenly froze in place, his whole body became stiff and motionless, and he fell directly to the ground.
