Chapter 44: The Place for Raising Corpses (Part 1)
-
The next day.
The sky was dense with dark clouds, and although it wasn’t raining, it made people feel depressed for no reason.
Song Weichen arrived at the agreed place half a quarter of an hour early, only to find that a group of grudge breakers had arrived earlier than her. The Nian Niang case was very involved, and everyone could not wait to go to Wangchuan to find out.
Ding Heran and the others were very excited when they saw Song Weichen, who was in good health. Naturally, there were a lot of people surrounding her and they had to talk to each other. I was touched that everyone cared about her so much. Even Guyu heard Jingzhe accidentally mention last night that after she was taken away by Mo Tingfeng in a coma, the little girl hid in the Lord's Mansion and secretly cried several times.
She originally thought that since Sleep World is a place of half-dream and half-awake, then the human relationships and things here are nothing more than half-truths and half-falsehoods, and do not need to be taken seriously. But now she feels that there are a few more people she really wants to be with. The real world is precious to her, isn't it because there are so many people she really wants to be with.
She suddenly felt that she should work hard to become stronger, not just to prove her innocence, but to be strong enough to protect herself while also being able to protect the people she wanted to protect.
When Mo Tingfeng came, he looked calm and no longer moody when he saw her. She was also relieved. The events between Wangchuan Yujian and the dining hall and him last night seemed unreal.
At this point, the twelve people from Sichen Mansion who participated in this operation have gathered and set off to Wangchuan in the soul-carrying boat.
.
This is the first time that Song Weichen has time to observe the spirit boat carefully. It looks very much the same as the ancient boat, except that the two sharp corners at the head and tail of the hull are curled up in a circle like the tail of a chameleon.
Wouldn’t it be a proper UFO if it were left here with us? Song Weichen stroked the hull and thought about it.
"The soul-carrying boats are large and small, and are tools used by the Sichen Mansion to arrest chaotic souls. The front and rear ends are soul-locking shackles, which are made of the gloomy wood that has grown for thousands of years in the Santu River. They can be used to lock souls. Stay in chaos to prevent escape." At some point, Mo Tingfeng stood beside her.
"Nian Niang was not tied up that day and she could move around freely." Song Weichen recalled.
"It's his style. His predecessor, Baipao, never locked up Luanpo when handling cases. He relied on his magic power to cultivate his skills. He was conceited that no Luanpo could escape."
"How could such a powerful person say that? If you disappear, you will disappear..." Then he thought again, "I heard that the number of enemies of my predecessor in white robes is ridiculous. If I follow you on a mission in such a big way, I won't be targeted for retaliation, right? Master Si Chen, why don't you arrange an office clerk for me? The work is done..."
Song Weichen was instantly frightened because his ambition to become stronger and protect his comrades before departure might be eaten by a dog.
"No one dares to touch you."
He originally wanted to say that he should not stay too far away from him and stay with him at all times, but he did not say it in the end.
.
“Master Si Chen, Brother Wei, we’re here!” Ye Wujiu walked over and pointed to an open cave on the shore.
At first glance, there is nothing unusual about this cave. Because it is open upwards and you can see the inside at a glance, it is easy for people to overlook its unusual features.
But if you look closely, you will find something is wrong. The light in the cave does not change with the changes in the surroundings. For example, it is cloudy today, but the scene inside the cave is what it would be like on a sunny day.
Meijie is a vast area. If Ye Wujiu were not a cautious person like Ye Wujiu, and if he had read through a large number of Wangchuan disappearance case files in Cangyue Mansion and had some direction, it might be possible in a few days. Yue couldn't find anything unusual here.
"Go down and take a look." Mo Tingfeng said.
Everyone descended to the ground one after another and walked towards the open cave. Mo Tingfeng calmly pulled Song Weichen to his side, "Don't be afraid."
"As long as you are here, I will Not afraid." She spoke the truth from the bottom of her heart.
Mo Tingfeng was startled, and inexplicably felt like a bright wind passing through his heart, and all the difficulties in the world could be easily solved, which in turn gave him a lot of strength.
"Everyone pay attention, I am responsible for the white robe." After saying that, he grabbed her waist and flew into the cave.
.
The moment she entered the cave, she felt a familiar strange feeling, but before she could capture the specific reason for the strangeness, the feeling disappeared in a flash. Being in it, I just feel that it is so ordinary. The sun seems to be shining in the cave, and the light spots on the rock wall are shining and mottled. It is in sharp contrast with the hazy sky at this time. It is so ordinary but so unreasonable. It is really shocking. Puzzled.
"Start a fire and control the intensity of the fire." Mo Tingfeng ordered.
Someone executed it immediately. Song Weichen was confused. Was he planning to set up camp here? Seeing her confusion, Ding Heran kindly explained, "Open fire can break the illusion. You are worried that we will be misled by the illusion."
Soon the fire was lit, and an even stranger situation occurred. The flames burned blazingly but had no temperature. Not only did there be no temperature change around them, but even if you put your hand in the flames, you couldn't feel the slightest heat.
Everywhere is weird.
No one noticed that above the water not far outside the cave, Gu Cangyue stood in the air like a beautiful evil god with fluttering clothes and stared in this direction. He promised that he would not fall in love during the period. Interfere with her in the performance of her official duties unless she takes the initiative to ask for his help. Gu Cang Yue claimed that although she was not a gentleman, she was not a person who broke her promise, so no matter how much she followed him, she only glanced at him from afar occasionally, and then disappeared.
.
Song Weichen walked around touching the walls of the cave, wondering what the strange feeling he felt so familiar just now was.
"Heran, could you please take me in and out of the cave a few more times?"
Since she couldn't remember, she might as well try a few more times, so she made her request to Ding Heran who was nearby. Unexpectedly, he didn't hear it. The person who came over was Mo Tingfeng - Ding Heran was not stupid, he was deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb. He had discovered it since the time he fainted in Baipao in the garden. It was best not to have physical contact with Song Weichen, otherwise Si Master Chen's eyes will be lingering.
Every time he entered and exited the cave, Song Weichen had an indescribable feeling. What was it? She closed her eyes and felt it, desperately trying to grasp the familiar commonality in her head.
Wait! Isn't this feeling exactly the same as when she was the one in love, looking at the AI controlled by her on the screen - that feeling of being herself but not herself.
“I might know!”
.
After hearing this, Mo Tingfeng put her down, and the others gathered around them.
“There’s something wrong with this hole! It’s like a screen, you can also think of it as a mirror. In short, after we enter this mirror, we become virtual us, but we don’t realize it! This is why Huo Bu The reason why it’s so hot is because not only is the fire fake, but we are also fake!”
“How is this possible? Don’t you know if I’m real or fake?” Someone questioned, obviously not believing it.
"Yes, Brother Wei, how do you prove that we are fake?" Ding Heran asked.
A bold idea came to her mind, "I'll prove it to you." As she said that, she pulled out Ding Heran's sword. Everyone was shocked and subconsciously protected Mo Tingfeng and looked at her suspiciously.
She took a few steps back with the sword in hand, pointing the blade towards herself.
"Wei Wei!! No!!"
Everyone was still watching, but Mo Tingfeng had realized what she wanted to do, and he pushed aside the people who were blocking her and rushed over.
But it was too late.
Song Weichen closed his eyes and thrust the sword into his body with all his strength.
