Chapter 82 He is the Master of the Spirit World
Shen Cinian’s words comforted him well.
Chen Cinian is always like this, always able to consider and speak from other people's perspectives. He can always invisibly relieve other people's psychological burdens and make them accept his care and tolerance with peace of mind.
Fang Ke suddenly understood why he felt so guilty.
Chen Cinian is an immortal alien, which means that in front of most of his fellow humans, Chen Cinian needs to pretend, and pretending means that he can't open up to others easily.
Indeed, Chen Cinian seems to have very few human friends. Is this the reason why Chen Cinian made friends with Song Shuyi's ghost?
Fang Ke thought: Everyone in this world can choose not to confide in Shen Qinian, except him.
Because he is the one who wants to spend his life with Shen Cinian.
Trust, honesty, understanding, communication, and understanding.
Then tolerate Chen Cinian as Chen Cinian tolerated him.
That's what he should do.
Fang Ke figured out what he should do, and everything in front of him became clear.
He believed that Shen Cinian could not be a ghost, so he could not do anything to hurt Shen Cinian just because of a momentary panic.
As long as Chen Qinian is not a ghost, he will accept it whether it is a monster or a goblin.
"Chen Ci Nian," he suddenly laughed at himself, "You know, I just saw you disappear out of thin air in the garden. I almost thought you were a ghost."
Shen Ci Nian didn't say anything, but the hand on his back was trembling slightly, invisible to the naked eye.
"You should know why I'm so resistant to weird things. Actually, anyone would be resistant to them. They're invaders, and they have a blood feud with us."
"My mother died because of them, along with many innocent people. Shen Cinian, do you know what the saddest thing is?"
"The saddest thing is that those who were killed by the weird will not have reincarnation because they have no soul. Their souls are used as food on the weird table."
"Chen Qinian, you know so much, but do you know where the weirdness comes from? Do you know what they are? What was the scene like in the early days of the weirdness?"
Shen Ci patted Fang Ke's back and said hesitantly, "Auntie... was murdered by the head of the Fang family. You should have seen the video..."
"If there were no weirdness, none of this would have happened." Fang Ke's tone was a little cold.
If there were no weirdness, Su Lixia would not have been killed because of those songs calling for peace between humans and weirdness.
He would not have suffered so many years because of being labeled a traitor.
It can be said that the root of all his suffering is caused by the contradiction between man and evil.
"If possible, I hope that there will be no more weird things and no more spirit masters in this world. I hope... this world can become normal. Chen Cinian, you have experienced the era without weird things and spirit masters, what was that era like?"
"That era..." Shen Qinian paused, and suddenly remembered that they were still on the stairs. It seemed a little inappropriate to talk in the middle of the stairs. He patted Fang Ke's shoulder helplessly, "Either go up and play first, and then I'll tell you. Or go down now, I'll wash some fruit for you, and we can talk while we eat."
Then let’s go up.
Fang Ke took the lead in moving upwards, believing that the climb must not be in vain.
"Master..." Kneeling in the middle of the room on the third floor, Fang Ke suddenly whispered, "I think..."
He didn't say what he wanted to play, but his eyes were fixed on the pulley on the beam and the rope on the shelf.
He wanted to replicate that dream. It is said that the best way to overcome fear is to face it. He wanted to clearly know that it was just an insignificant dream, and that dream could not affect his feelings for Shen Cinian in the slightest!
Shen Cinian stood in front of Fang Ke for about three minutes, then he turned around and picked up the rough cloth strip next to the hemp rope.
This one will be a little gentler and more comfortable, and won't be too constricting.
He used the hemp rope because it was a punishment for betrayers. If it was just for fun, there would be no need.
It was different from the past. Last time, after he tied someone up, he stood by the window for a while and then left. He only came back when he felt the lesson was enough.
This time he sat on a chair not far from Fang Ke and accompanied him throughout the whole process.
Companionship is his most silent promise: I will ensure your absolute safety.
If I just play this, I'll have time to chat.
Shen Qinian answered each question one by one: "When there was no weirdness, people were very united and there was no intrigue. People in that era were very simple. There were no cars at that time. There were many rickshaws and children selling newspapers on the streets."
"Then you used to..."
"Before I was seven, I begged and sold newspapers. I was an orphan and I didn't know who my parents were. When I was seven, a middle-aged scholar came to buy my newspaper. He saw me reading the newspaper with a tattered dictionary and asked me my name and if I wanted to study with him."
"How would I know my name? I looked down and saw the word 'Chen' in the dictionary, so I said my last name is Chen, but I don't know my first name. I don't have any parents."
The scholar said: "Then you should be called Shen Ci Nian from now on. Today is New Year's Eve. After tonight it will be a new year. A new year, a new atmosphere, a new life."
"That scholar is... Ren Qingshan." Fang Ke thought of many of Shen Qinian's previous identities, and never thought that Shen Qinian really did not lie to him, and Shen Qinian was really an orphan.
"Yes. In those days, everyone wanted to be an educated youth, and everyone loved to study. My teacher took me home, taught me to read, and taught me many things. He always had the word 'hope' on his lips. He was optimistic all his life. Life back then was full of hope. Although there were always conflicts within humanity, we were all united, working hard to build society and contribute to making it a better place."
Fang Ke thought of the six big words on Ren Qingshan’s tombstone: For humanity, seek a new life.
At this moment, the image of Ren Qingshan seemed to suddenly come alive in Shen Cinian's narration. He seemed to see a middle-aged man with a small mustache, wearing a gray cloth gown, stroking his beard and looking at them with a smile, standing behind the tombstone that day. He always looked worried about the country and the people.
"What happened next?"
Shen Ci Nian's eyes became complicated. "When I was ten years old, the weirdness descended. We call the world where the weirdness resides the Spirit World. The Spirit World is very chaotic. The weirdnesses have no unified leader, so they shuttle between the two worlds unscrupulously. They destroyed everything, society began to regress, and human nature began to become complicated."
"In the first year of the strangeness, I and some others gained special abilities. We could leave our bodies during sleep and do things that ordinary people couldn't. The master gave people like us a unified name: spirit masters."
"You are one of the earliest group of spirit masters."
"Yes. I was the youngest of that group, and the master kept this a secret for a long time. He didn't want me to take the risk of going to the front."
"In the third year after the arrival of the strange, news of spirit masters bullying their compatriots began to appear in the newspapers. At that time, both the human and spirit worlds were in chaos, without a unified leader. The spirit masters and the strange did whatever they pleased, and the people suffered misery. Mr. was deeply distressed and, together with several of his closest friends, founded Lingdu United University, the predecessor of today's National Defense University."
"Mr. Wang became the first principal. He wasn't a spirit master, but he was always at the forefront, researching the true nature of the strangeness bit by bit under the protection of other spirit masters."
"The essence of the strange things is spirits. They are just like human souls, with not much difference. Sir, you speculate that they are the souls of the deceased in another world. Another possibility is that the spirit world is the legendary underworld. Due to some unexpected events, the underworld suddenly appeared in the human world, and the gates of the strange gate were opened, causing chaos in the human world."
"The idea of the underworld is ridiculous, because those monsters all have different forms and are very different from humans. Most scholars believe the first hypothesis: that the monsters are the souls of the deceased from other worlds."
"What about you?" Fang Ke suddenly asked.
Shen Ci Nian was silent for a long time, and then said: "I think it is the second one, because I have seen old friends in the spiritual world."
"In the sixteenth year of the mysterious advent, the master passed away. At that time, it had only been a year since he instructed us to establish the Players' Association. As the president, Wang Yudong was supposed to be in charge of the Players' Association, so Chen Chunzhi and I ventured into the spirit world to bring the master's soul back."
"It was at that time that Chen Chunzhi and I witnessed a scene we will never forget. The following year, Chen Chunzhi and I founded the Security Bureau, with Chen Chunzhi as its director."
"Order gradually returned to the human world. Chen Chunzhi organized the common people to seek refuge, while Wang Yudong organized the spirit masters to resist the strange and guard the gate. I taught at the National Defense University, inheriting Mr. Wang's legacy and cultivating more outstanding spirit masters."
Shen Cinian refused to talk about what happened after that. No matter how Fang Ke asked, he just kept silent.
Fang Ke simply changed the question: "When did the spiritual world begin to have order? After the birth of that strange god, the strange god was Ren Qingshan."
Shen Ci Nian couldn't answer this question, so he just remained silent.
Fang Ke took it as a default.
"Chen Qinian, you know what? When I walked onto the ice, I wanted to die. I planned to freeze to death. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. My brain suddenly went crazy and I went to pray to the gods. As a result, the strange god appeared."
"If he's Ren Qingshan... then that makes sense... No wonder the Evil God favors humans and creates a bunch of rules that protect them. That weird game was also Ren Qingshan's idea, right? It's better to release than to block. If the Evil is suppressed for too long, it will definitely rebel, so they just created a game and selected some people to play."
That’s not the case. This was System 001’s own idea. He was sleeping in the abyss at the time and had no time to care about it.
"Are ghost gods and ghosts different?" Fang Ke said this, staring at Shen Qinian nervously, "He is a god, not a ghost, right?"
In response to this, Shen Qinian gave an accurate answer: "He is not a ghost, but he is not a god either. God is just a respectful title. He is the master of the spiritual world recognized by heaven and earth."

Chen Chunzhi: Teacher, you might as well just report Shen Qinian's ID card. [狗头]
