Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Apparently, these are 'ghosts'.

This whole city is full of ghosts.

This is a 'ghost town' full of life.

Li Re, who was pushed to the other side by the "ghosts", couldn't help being speechless when he saw the ghosts scattering after crossing the road.

He was getting ready to walk around.

Explore it.

next second.

The sudden sound made him stop again.

"Are you the new reference?" A figure sitting by the roadside spoke in a low voice, his voice old and deep.

The figure glanced at Li Re with a hint of surprise: "It's actually a living human being? This is incredible!"

Li Re looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw an old man squatting at the entrance of the sewer, his feet firmly grasping the ground - a very standard Asian squatting posture.

So Li Re thought about it.

He took a coin out of his pocket and threw it in front of him...

"keep the change."

"I'm looking for your head!"

The old man kicked the coin away and stood up. "It's just a penny. What else do you want me to change? Besides, I'm not a beggar. I'm the one who set the test. Show some respect, young man!"

Questioner?

Li Re's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems that this modern-looking scene was created by you?"

"I don't have that much ability."

The old man waved his hand and said, "This is just the trend of the times - the result of technological development!"

"Ghosts also develop technology?" Li Re's eyes couldn't help but become strange.

"nonsense!"

The old man stamped his feet and said, "Don't think that only the living need a quality life. The dead also need it. Otherwise, why would you burn paper money?"

"Without further ado."

"Prepare for the test... Uh? What do you do?"

The old man was startled before he could finish his words.

He saw Li Re falling to the ground in front of him, looking exhausted.

"Fake news!" Li Re heard what the old man said and sat up on the ground, saying, "Isn't this the content of this assessment?"

"how do you know?"

The old man was stunned.

"I can tell at a glance." Li Re showed a smug smile: "Otherwise, what are you, an old man, squatting on the side of the road waiting for with a timid look on your face? Are you waiting for love?"

The old man stared.

We were talking just fine, why did this kid start swearing?

And is it really that obvious that I am weak?

He subconsciously touched his face, but soon came to his senses—he couldn't help but cough softly.

Li Re continued: "Besides, do you really think I can't see it?"

"The 'ghosts' around here are not high-level ghosts, they are just wandering souls that are still living their lives - if they gather around me and point fingers at me according to their subconscious behavior, my life will not be in danger, but the powerful ghost field I'm afraid will trap me here and I'll never be able to get out!"

If not for this, Li Re wouldn't have been pushed over from the other side of the road by that group of 'ghosts' just now.

Yes, at that moment he had been briefly trapped in the ghost's force field - otherwise he would not have known it so clearly.

Fortunately, after the ghosts dispersed, the ghost scene naturally disappeared.

But the feeling of being unable to leave, let alone die, is definitely not what Li Re wants.

He could not tolerate such behavior.

"You stand up and talk first." said the old man.

"I refuse." Li Re lay down again.

The old man wanted to say something, but he heard Li Re suddenly open his voice -

"Help! Someone beat someone up and then took advantage of their age and didn't want to take responsibility!!!"

The old man's face twitched wildly.

How come this guy is more skilled than me?

"Okay, okay, you passed." He could only say helplessly in the end.

There was no way to stop them from passing - because of Li Re's shout, a lot of "ghosts" really gathered around.

These 'ghosts' are of a very low level and will not debate who is right or wrong based on appearance. They will only listen to the person who speaks first.

If he continues like this, I won't be assessing him myself.

Instead, it became a test for him.

If I am trapped here, how can I continue to assess other candidates?

Despicable living person!

As the old man finished his words, the modern urban scenes around him blurred and disappeared in an instant.

Instead,

It is a desolate and barren land.

Looking around, the darkness was bleak.

At the end, there was a flowing river with dirty water. On the other side of the river, flowers were blooming, as red as blood.

And by the river, there was someone standing, his hair as silver as snow.

Chapter 40: Wangchuan, Dragon Girl, Scheming Bitch

The dark dome, the desolate land, the vast world reflecting the scarlet flowers, the turbid yellow river rolling, the snow-white figure standing on the edge of the river bank, seemed to have noticed Li Re's peeping, and looked back -

Li Re tilted his head.

at this time.

The old man spoke again: "Really... this year's candidates are really amazing!"

The old man patted his back.

I feel a bit powerless.

He looked at Li Re, then at the snow-white figure in the distance.

"It's very rare for you to pass the second test so quickly like you did!"

Obviously, the figure standing on the river bank is also a reference.

Of course Li Re knew it.

Earlier in front of the stone gate, he had already written down the rough outlines of the sixteen references other than himself.

He also remembered that he was the first one to pass through the stone gate, but now... that 'person' was walking in front.

"Is she faster than me?" Li Re couldn't help but become curious: "How did she get through it?"

The old man exhaled and glanced at Li Re.

Magical and slightly weird.

"That girl directly bribed the 'ghosts' in the ghost realm!" The old man smacked his lips and said, "As expected of her, she is the legitimate daughter of the Sea God Palace Master and the appointed 'Dragon Girl'. She is very wealthy!"

Sea God Palace Dragon Girl...

"What is the ghost realm?" Li Re took the opportunity to ask.

The old man shook his head: "Okay."

"The ghost realm is still far away from your current state. You just need to remember that everything you just experienced is not an illusion, but a real existence."

"As for now, I have to go and test the next batch of people who have passed the initial test. It's time for you to go and try the third level!"

The old man pointed ahead.

Li Re looked in the direction he pointed, and what he saw was naturally the flowing Yellow River.

He looked back again.

The old man had disappeared.

"So mysterious... If I had known I would have shouted out loud just now." Li Re rubbed his chin, feeling a little regretful.

but...

Sea God Palace, Dragon Girl?

Li Re once again looked at the yellow river with red flowers blooming on the opposite bank, and the snow-white figure by the river.

That river looks like the legendary River of Forgetfulness.

That flower also looks like the legendary red spider lily.

no doubt.

The 'third level' that the old man mentioned refers to this river.

Cross the river.

This is the content of the third level.

Just when Li Re was thinking about whether to jump in and see if he would die...

"The water of the River of Oblivion is so great that a fly cannot fly and a feather cannot float."

"If you touch it, it will sink and be imprisoned in the river."

"Eternal life is worse than death."

A clear and crisp voice came from the mouth of the 'Dragon Girl' who was facing away from him.

Hearing this, Li Re paused slightly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he instantly gave up the idea of ​​jumping in directly.

Trapped forever again.

It's another life worse than death.

It would be better to just let me die!

Now Li Re deeply suspected that the Yinshan Ghost House was targeting him... and was deliberately doing something that he least wanted to face.

But whether it is or not.

At present, it seems that he can only move forward——

Coming to the bank of the Forgotten River, I looked out at the turbid yellow waters of the river rolling and raging.

Li Re exhaled lightly, and looked sideways.

The dragon girl, who was also by the river, looked over.

Li Re, who had not taken a close look before and only remembered its general outline, finally saw the more specific appearance of this "Dragon Girl" when he looked back at this moment.

Her silver hair was as white as snow, and her white dress was also as white as snow. At first glance, she looked like an iceberg floating on the polar sea, but under the silver hair were a pair of light golden eyes.

Compared with Tushan Luoluo, her face was not extremely beautiful, and her figure wrapped tightly in a white robe and long skirt was a little flat, but she had an indescribable noble temperament.
