Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 007 Shared Memory
Ji Weihang was born in a remote and isolated small mountain village, which believes in a "demon god" who has achieved great success in spiritual practice.
Her mother, a priestess of the "Demon God", gave birth to her under the nose of the "Demon God".
Seeing that she was a congenital spirit, the "demon god" who originally wanted to train her to be the next priestess did not want to attract the attention of the masters of the sect, nor did he want to damage his fortune, so he ordered her mother to send her away intact.
So on the dark night when she was born, her mother put her and a bottle of goat's milk in a small basket woven out of reeds and let it float downstream in the river.
Life and death are decided by God.
As an innate spiritual being, she is close to nature, and nature is close to her.
Drifting alone on the river at night, she was not afraid. She also did not know what fear was.
Looking at the stars in the night sky that gradually brightened, the little girl who had just come into this world felt novel and free.
The fish in the river, the birds in the sky, and the poultry on the ground all protected her, and she drifted peacefully all night.
Sleep when you are sleepy and get up when you are hungry.
A bottle of goat's milk is enough to keep her in a good mood.
The night is a cool quilt, and nature is the mother's arms.
As the day began to brighten, she approached the town of destiny.
A young woman who was washing clothes on the shore early in the morning saw her, immediately flew over to stop her boat and picked her up.
The birds, beasts, and fish did not try to stop them, but just watched them quietly from the side.
"Little boy, why are you alone on the river? Huh? Are you lost?"
The woman held her to her chest and asked with a smile. The woman's embrace was warm, and her breath was gentle and intimate, just like the nature that had protected her all night.
She giggled and tugged at the beads on the young woman's wrist, making them rustle.
"Do you want to go home with me?" The young woman smiled and lowered her head, her forehead touching hers. Her clear and bright brown eyes reflected the little girl's white hair and red pupils.
She put down the beads in the woman's hand, grabbed the woman's fingers and shook them twice.
"Then you agree." The woman said with a smile, "You will be a member of the Mingyan Sect from now on."
"What's your name? Do you have a name?"
Naturally, the little girl couldn't answer this question.
At this moment, the reed bed that the girl had been resting on all night suddenly loosened, spun and sank into the water, as if its mission had finally ended, dust to dust, earth to earth.
The woman looked at the submerged reed thoughtfully and said, "The universe is so vast, but a reed can support it. How about calling you Weihang?" [Note 1]
The girl screamed and reached out to grab the young woman's hair.
"It seems you like this name very much." The woman swiftly avoided her hand and said with a smile, "My name is Kunling, and I will be your master's wife from now on."
Afterwards, little Weihang grew up under the care of Ji Kunling. He walked for the first time, ran for the first time, touched a sword for the first time, drew a talisman for the first time, refined a weapon for the first time... He met the elders and peers in the sect, and gradually met the younger generations as he grew up...
The collector immersed himself in Ji Weihang's memories and felt the other person's life from his own perspective.
Meanwhile, Ji Weihang was quickly browsing the Collector's memory.
The collector's memory is somewhat confusing and fragmented, with many fragmented memories belonging to different identities.
Fortunately, Ji Weihang was already very familiar with the operation of retrieving memories, and she quickly got the information she wanted from a pile of messy memories.
When she returned to reality from her mind, the collector had some realizations and was also pulled away from Ji Weihang's memories.
Looking at Ji Weihang in front of him, the Collector lowered the sword in his hand, his hostility slightly reduced, and his curiosity increased, "Where is your world?"
Ji Weihang knew that the collector was interested in his world, "I don't know how to get there."
The Collector sighed regretfully and said:
"How could there be someone as lucky and unlucky as you in this world... It's like a plot in a novel in our world."
Seeing the other person's life from the first-person perspective is like having another life of your own. Even if you know it is not your own experience, you can still feel the joy and sadness that touch the depths of your soul.
The more beautiful the memories in the first half are, the more painful the ending is.
"Everyone has his own misfortunes." Ji Weihang paused for a moment and said, "Different worlds have different shortcomings."
After sharing memories, Ji Weihang became more patient with the collector than before.
"There's no need to comfort me like that." The Collector smiled, his expression half gloomy and half smiling, "No matter how flawed your world is, it's still much better than ours."
Ji Weihang was silent.
Having seen the Collector's memories, it was impossible and unnecessary for her to go against her will and praise this world as better than her own.
The Collector is a collection of the countless daughters of death in this world.
In order to avoid being swallowed up by the powerful ghost and losing themselves, they joined together with the same obsession and elected two ghosts with the strongest wills as the controllers of this "whole".
Collector is the title given by the outside world to "her" who loves to collect people.
They themselves prefer to call themselves as a whole "delusion".
The woman who died in the wilderness, river, street or bush;
The woman who died by the sword, the hand, or the axe;
A woman who died from neglect, abuse, coercion and malicious violence.
Killed by delusion of love, delusion of home, delusion of freedom.
The Collector slowly and lightly turned the Styx Sword in his hand, and the sword reflected the light, shining brightly and coldly.
Her voice was also soft and slow.
“Why is the world so different?
“Why does a system like this exist that can send people here and there at will?
“How do I get to the other world?”
Ji Weihang didn't know the answer to the question and couldn't answer it.
“You said…” The Collector suddenly pointed the sword in his hand at her with a bright smile on his face.
"If I kill you, will that system bind me? Will it be possible for me to leave here and go to a better world?"
Ji Weihang was not angry. She thought seriously for two seconds and answered honestly, "It's possible."
Although dying in the game does not really mean death, you will not be able to enter the game again if you fail.
The system that is short of players may actually be "restocked" on the spot.
The Collector's figure flashed, and he attacked without saying a word, with a sharp sword light emanating from the Styx Sword.
Ji Weihang got a lot of information about this world from the collector's memory. She knew how powerful the Styx Sword was. She didn't resist it with the knife, but dodged it quickly.
"You shared memories, aren't you trying to find a way to bypass Lord He and destroy us?" The Collector's figure flickered, and a gloomy individual emerged. "Now is a good opportunity to experiment."
This was also Ji Weihang's original plan.
According to the collector's memory, the energy of the ghost comes from something called the heart core. The main reason why the ghosts can devour each other is that the ghosts can melt the energy and obsession in the heart core.
The humans here are unable to do anything to the ghost because, on the one hand, they are unable to attack the ghost, and on the other hand, they are unable to find and destroy the heart core that the ghost can store outside the body or run around in the body.
But she has a way.
She grabbed "Wang"'s body and slapped a Qi-gathering talisman on it.
The dark energy continued to flow into the body of "Wang", so that "Wang"'s ability to move was affected.
She used her spiritual sense to investigate the direction of the flow of the dark energy in "Wang"'s body and found that this method was feasible.
At this time, the collector raised his sword and chopped.
She directly used "Wang" as a shield, and the collector showed no mercy and started to chop with his sword.
Seeing the "delusion" dissipate, Ji Weihang's guess became more certain.
Collectors are accustomed to hiding their heart cores in their bodies, and the fact that the clone of "Wang" has dissipated shows that the heart core can only be in the body of the "collector".
She frequently dodged the Collector's sword.
The Collector has not learned swordsmanship. She relies solely on the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the Styx Sword and the power of the Styx Sword to attack. It is very easy for her to dodge since she is in the out-of-body stage.
She followed the same method and slapped an Energy Gathering Talisman on the Collector. When the Collector laughed at her for increasing the strength of her enemy, she slapped an Energy Dispersing Talisman on him.
The Collector got a little annoyed after the back and forth, and swung his sword hard, "Are you playing hide and seek? Fight well!"
The black and fierce dark power turned into a tangible sword light and cut the house in half.
The collector was stunned and distracted for a moment when he saw a huge crack in the house where he had lived for sixty years.
Ji Weihang took the opportunity to lean forward and stabbed the collector somewhere in the abdomen!
With a dull "thump", she accurately stabbed a hard object.
The collector suddenly spat out a mouthful of black liquid, his body softened, and he fell forward onto Ji Weihang's shoulder.
Ji Weihang did not push her away.
She did not use her last bit of strength to stab her, but just kept spitting out black liquid, which hit Ji Weihang's back.
As she vomited, she started laughing and vomited even more.
"Pfft...hahahaha..." The collector barely managed to pull himself together and sit in Ji Weihang's arms, watching her laughing so hard that the turbid liquid in her mouth kept overflowing.
After laughing for a long time, she raised her hand slightly and moved the sword in her hand towards Wei Hang's arms.
"I see you have a... Jade Bone Sword." Her voice was already very soft, "It will go very well with the Styx Sword..."
Looking at the collector who looked like he was about to die, Ji Weihang was silent for a moment and said, "Indeed."
"I hope you can succeed in your revenge..." The Collector said intermittently, "We have never succeeded..."
"Revenge after death...hahahahaha..." The collector's laughter suddenly became louder, like some kind of mockery, or like some kind of crying.
With a final laugh, the Collector's heart core completely shattered, and she turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared from this world.
In a trance, Ji Weihang seemed to hear countless illusory and overlapping "thank you".
[Player Ji Weihang killed the obsession-level ghost "Wu Nu" and obtained a contribution point. ]
【Contribution ranking list is now open.】
However, Weihang was not in the mood to look at the contribution rankings at the moment.
A strong wind suddenly blew up, and the villa, which already had cracks, slowly moved and was about to collapse.
She looked into the hall.
She knew that there was a jade statue enshrined there.
The dark energy rushed towards the jade statue madly.
The jade statue, which was originally only about thirty inches tall, gradually changed and grew, and eventually turned into a middle-aged woman who looked like an ordinary person.
She was wearing ancient clothes, her long black hair was tied up, and her face was stern.
Amid the rumbling sound of collapsed houses, she walked down from the platform and looked coldly at Ji Weihang who was holding the Styx Sword.
"You killed the foolish girl."
Ji Weihang knew that this was the backer of the vain girl, the only six king-level ghosts in Donghe City, Zhang Lingjiang.
