Chapter 431 Let’s go together for now
That night.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" Yu Wenxuan asked.
"This time is not a mission issued by Wuji, but a trap created by An Yuan." Bai Yanliang said in a low voice.
"Evidence." Yu Wenxuan spoke concisely and to the point.
"Because of Wuji, have you ever thought about the meaning of Wuji's existence?" Bai Yanliang asked.
"They said that the fog set was to restrain the evil ghosts so that we would not have no hope of survival." Yu Wenxuan seemed to chuckle.
"Why don't we have no hope of survival?" Bai Yanliang continued to ask.
"No one likes to watch a one-sided game. If Wuji is really a game created by some so-called god out of boredom, I think he should think the same way. He wants to watch a game that is not equal, but has a little The death game of hope can squeeze out all the potential of human beings without quickly consuming the hard-to-find 'contestants'."
Yu Wenxuan's answer coincided with Bai Yanliang's.
"That's right, so this hiding of the moon in the mountains completely violates the principles of fog collection. It is here to kill us."
"So? What do you want me to do?" Yu Wenxuan glanced at Bai Yanliang, "I have no means beyond common sense."
Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment and said:
"Going back to the previous question, I think the purpose of Wuji's existence is for those ghosts."
"Ah?" Yu Wenxuan looked at Bai Yanliang like he was looking at a madman.
"Why? Why?" he asked.
Bai Yanliang did not answer immediately, but instead asked Yu Wenxuan a question: "If, as everyone guessed, Wuji exists to leave the last hope for mankind, then why do we play this game with mankind? Is it a ghost?”
Yu Wenxuan was stunned by his question.
Yes, why a ghost?
If it is a game played by gods, why is it that the object of competition with humans is not beasts or mythical creatures, but... ghosts?
Moreover, everything Wuji encounters is a ghost, and even if there are some interspersed species, it can still be explained.
However, the fact is that only ghosts and humans participate in this "game".
"So I'm wondering, could it be because the master of Wuji can only control ghosts and humans? The rules that seem to favor the protection of humans, from another perspective, are also meant to stimulate all human potential, as well as... fear. ”
Bai Yanliang's statement made Yu Wenxuan fall into deep thought. He did not rush to refute, but seriously thought about the possibility of Bai Yanliang's remarks.
"So what you're saying is that the master behind Wuji is the same as the ghost. We are not toys, but we have to go through life and death again and again to achieve a certain goal?" Yu Wenxuan said at the end, shaking his head slightly, "Imagine There are too many ingredients.”
Bai Yanliang nodded with approval: "This idea didn't take shape until this time, because there is a special ghost in this place, under that well."
Yu Wenxuan's eyes changed slightly.
"We know that ghosts cannot communicate, they are just pure malice. They don't even have such a thing as instinct. What drives them is only malice. But...in this village, a ghost was born that can communicate and can communicate. , a self-aware ghost.”
Bai Yanliang touched his chin: "So I wonder if there is such a place where countless evil ghosts exist. They are all unconscious and wandering around in a muddle. Suddenly one day, one of the evil ghosts gave birth to self-awareness due to a coincidence. , he knows who I am and the concept of self.”
"However, when he wanted to communicate with the same kind around him, he found that he couldn't do it at all. The moment he awakened himself, he had transcended the shackles of race..." Bai Yanliang's voice became faster and faster as he spoke. Clarity: "Wandering without consciousness is nothing. But having self-awareness and still living in a hazy state is torture for any living being."
"He should be like the first ancient ape to develop self-awareness, and clearly realize that he is different from other similar people, so... under the long-term loneliness and depression, there are only two choices he can make. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Yanliang looked at Yu Wenxuan.
"Kill yourself, or find yourself a partner."
Yu Wenxuan answered.
Bai Yanliang nodded: "The sudden appearance of Wuji and the sudden appearance of the ghost are the external manifestations of his choice. This ghost who gave birth to self-consciousness should have chosen... find a way to make all ghosts give birth to self-consciousness. .”
"Of course, this is just a conjecture of mine. After all... the ghost in the well is the only ghost I have encountered so far who seems to be able to communicate. Coupled with the weirdness of this fog collection mission, I suspect that this time It's a trap set by An Yuan, then... An Yuan, the master behind Wuji, and the ghost in this village who can only barely communicate can be connected."
"This ghost also has self-awareness, but it is not necessarily born by chance. I suspect that it is an experiment, and the experiment was not completely successful, so it appears here."
Yu Wenxuan listened carefully to Bai Yanliang's words, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded:
"Now, I trust your judgment."
"What do you want me to do?"
Bai Yanliang's silence was longer than before.
"I hope my guess is wrong..." His mood remained unchanged, but his tone became even lower. "I will explore the location of Dark Abyss and find the mastermind behind Wuji. The news will be passed on to You, what you need to do is to destroy one of their actions at the critical moment.”
Yu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man under the moonlight with some surprise.
"According to your speculation, since Wuji has a master, you who have been chosen by Wuji also mean that you have been under the attention of Wuji's master. You guessed that there is a connection between him and An Abyss, and you still want to go like this Do? Then your actions are completely exposed under their eyes?”
"Are you worried that I will die?" Bai Yanliang asked.
"Your life is your own business. I just don't want to waste the time I spent talking with you." Yu Wenxuan glanced at Bai Yanliang.
"It's okay," Bai Yanliang twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling, "They choose me every time. It seems that the master of Wuji can't wait to kill me, but he has never taken action in reality. If I am right, I guess , there may be something in me that will greatly hinder his plan.”
"But for some reason, he couldn't kill me directly. He could only borrow the help of Wuji..."
"So I think, in addition to the person who wants to get rid of me, there should be someone who wants to protect me."
At this point, Bai Yanliang lowered his voice and said: "So... I will investigate everything without any scruples and wantonly under all their eyes."
"And you must be a good shadow in the dark."
Bai Yanliang looked at the full moon in the sky.
Yu Wenxuan followed his gaze and sneered:
"At least, we're on our way for now."
