Chapter 257: Ghost in the Mirror (Twenty)
After saying this, two lines of blood and tears flowed from Guan Yingying's eyes.
She stared at Jie Fangcheng and repeated what he said.
"The victim should not be blamed too much, and the knife should not be swung at the weak... You said these two sentences too easily!!"
The wind was blowing hard all around, and screams and cries were rolling in the black fog. It seemed that only Guan Yingying in front of him and the ghosts that wanted to burst out of the black fog were left between heaven and earth.
The skin on Guan Yingying's body cracked inch by inch, revealing not the flesh and blood inside, but tongues.
Those tongues that once hurt her wantonly have now become her weapons.
Tongues burst out of her body, each one speaking.
"Weak? Who isn't a weak? Can weak people just ignore everything?"
"It takes two to tango, a fly won't bite an egg without cracks, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person... Are these proverbs wrong?"
"How funny! I've suffered so much and finally become stronger now, not to listen to these great principles!"
"kill!!"
"Kill her quickly!! Kill them!!"
Guan Yingying's originally dark eyes now turned blood red. Jie Fangcheng knew very well that this meant that her sanity was fading.
When hatred completely occupies the mind of a ghost, the ghost's strength will increase greatly. At the same time, the ghost will become crazy and manic. A ghost that has completely lost its mind is just a killing weapon.
In the black fog, Guan Yingying's body almost doubled in size and her height also increased.
A weapon appeared in her hand again - this time it was no longer a fruit knife, but a bone sword with flesh made from the spines of countless people.
Xie Fangcheng seemed to sigh.
"Wake up, you."
"Hahahaha, awake? I'm sober now!" Guan Yingying raised the sword in her hand high, "Why can't I kill? Isn't this game all about the survival of the fittest? Why is it that when others swing their swords at me, no one comes to stop them, but when I swing my sword to seek justice for myself, someone explains this to me?"
Her voice was like thunder, and the ghosts around her attached themselves to the bone sword.
When the sword chopped down, the sound of evil spirit suddenly arose.
The sword was so powerful that it even dispersed the black fog the moment it was chopped down, and the sword wind scraped the surrounding ground.
Zhu Ping, who was protected by Jie Fangcheng behind him, was injured by the ghost energy. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments, tilted his head, and fainted.
So she didn't see that in the next second, a hand that looked even a little thin easily grabbed the sword that was coming down.
Jie Fangcheng looked normal: "But now, haven't you become the person who hurt you?"
"So what!! The environment is like this anyway!! Why don't you tell me!--" Guan Yingying's tongue suddenly expanded, and it forcibly dragged her spine out of her body, cast it into a bone sword again, and slashed towards Jie Fangcheng.
"I just asked Zhu Ping, but she couldn't answer! Since you are so powerful, then tell me!! If a weak person like her can be cold and selfish with a clear conscience and has no responsibility to change the environment, then who has the responsibility to change this environment!!!"
Jie Fangcheng did not dodge or evade, but stood there motionless.
"I."
The bone sword stopped just a fraction away from him.
——It wasn’t that Guan Yingying stopped the sword in time.
In front of him, Jie Fangcheng was surrounded by a thick ghost aura, his white hair was tied up with a red hairband, and he had a pair of eyes, one black and one white. Behind him, a huge palace appeared.
Even in the copy of "Three Thousand Worlds", when the palace appeared, thunder was faintly heard in the black fog.
The ghost that was originally controlled by Guan Yingying knelt on the ground uncontrollably, waiting for the arrival of the King of Ghosts.
Even Guan Yingying herself seemed to feel an inexplicable pressure at this moment.
Xie Fangcheng's long robe fluttered in the wind as he looked at Guan Yingying in front of him.
"The responsibility lies with me."
The responsibility lies with me.
It’s not because Jie Fangcheng is the guardian.
"Being weak, selfish and timid is very sad, but it is not a reason to die. People are like plants, some are towering trees, and some are low bushes. Being brave and tenacious should be a compliment to yourself, not a requirement for others."
"Guan Yingying, I think everything you've been through is very unfair to you. I also know that what you said is the reality. There are too many unfair things in the world, so there is 'I'... Now that you are very strong, there can also be 'you'."
Guan Yingying's eyes were red: "You mean I should protect others?! I don't accept it! Why should I protect others!!"
"Because you are also being protected by others."
The ghostly aura on Jie Fangcheng's body became increasingly strong, yet it was also mixed with faint golden light.
"I have handled many cases before. Long ago, citizens who sued officials would be killed. Even in our country, we believed that this was the normal law of the world. But now, officials have to become 'servants of the people'... I know what you are going to say, but I believe that the environment is getting better. I can't answer you what you should do when you encounter such a thing. I am not good at this. But what I know is..."
"Sooner or later, the world will become more fair."
Guan Yingying murmured, "What about me? Am I going to die in vain?"
"This is a sacrifice of the times. We will all be victims - or martyrs. We are stepping on the bones of our predecessors, heading towards a better and more distant future than before. And we are also stepping stones for future generations. Now -"
"Stop!"
Jie Fangcheng exerted force with his right hand, grabbed the sword, and pulled Guan Yingying in front of him.
Behind him, a bell rang.
At the same time, a golden light penetrated into Guan Yingying's body.
Golden light instantly flowed through Guan Yingying's body. The tongues were both proof of Guan Yingying's strength and represented her karma.
At this moment, golden light flowed, and the tongue screamed and retracted into her body.
Guan Yingying's pair of bloodshot eyes finally turned back to black, and she stared blankly at Jie Fangcheng.
"you……"
Jie Fangcheng had been exposed to the golden light too many times and was very familiar with this kind of shock.
He patted Guan Yingying on the shoulder and said, "Be a good ghost. I'll see if I can take you back."
Guan Yingying's expression was still stunned: "...Why?"
"Why?" At this point, Jie Fangcheng asked, "By the way, is that person really called 'Qiao Qiang'? I can help you check it out when I get back."
When this name was mentioned, Guan Yingying was the first to be attracted to it.
"Look? What do you want to help me see?"
Jie Fangcheng didn't explain too much: "My work scope has some entanglements with the aftermath of a person's death. I can go down and help you check if Qiao Qiang is here now. If he is, I can help you through the back door."
"What backdoor?"
Jie Fangcheng was helpless: "Things like using the backdoor cannot be explained too clearly."
The golden light had suppressed the irrational evil spirit in Guan Yingying, so Jie Fangcheng did not continue to maintain his original body.
That state is still a little difficult for Jie Fangcheng now, mainly because this is still in "Three Thousand Worlds", and he is not sure whether there will be any irreversible consequences after releasing his true body.
At this time, Jie Fangcheng was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with his medium-long hair tied into a small bun. He looked like a youthful college student, but his temperament also gave him the feeling of a veteran office worker.
Especially when it came to taking the back door, her expert look made Guan Yingying's words stuck in her throat.
"Who...are you?"
It’s not that Jie Fangcheng didn’t want to explain, but it was obviously too difficult to explain, and Guan Yingying’s current condition was very strange.
She was clearly a player of "Don't Answer", but now she has become an NPC of "Three Thousand Worlds" - and she is in a state of amnesia.
So Jie Fangcheng explained very briefly: "Civil servant."
That’s not wrong, the civil servants in the underworld have a regular position.
Although I am now retired and working overtime...
Guan Yingying nodded somewhat dazedly.
It was Xie Fangcheng who brought it up first.
"By the way, should I give you a brief introduction to the general situation? About this game and our original little world?"
The main thing is that Jie Fangcheng wants to take Guan Yingying out, but he doesn’t know what his situation is now. It is still a mystery whether he will return to the underworld or to the "Three Thousand Worlds" after completing the copy.
Xie Fangcheng is not good at thinking about this kind of problem, but it doesn’t matter. According to Nie Shuangshuang, Xie Fangcheng already had a preliminary understanding of Guan Yingying’s IQ.
"The original small world?" Guan Yingying repeated, her expression still a little dazed, as if she hadn't quite come back to her senses.
Jie Fangcheng nodded: "Yes, you know this is a game anyway... In short, this game is not a good place. I wanted to tell you about it. See if there is any clue or method that can get you back."
"Where are you taking it? 'Don't Answer'?"
"Ah? Take him back to the underworld." After Jie Fangcheng answered, he felt something was wrong... Wait! !
"??? "Don't answer"??? Did you remember???"
Guan Yingying nodded: "When your golden light came over just now, a reminder came to my mind."
[Ding——Player detected? Abnormal status, repairing data. 】
[Ding——Repair successful. 】
[Ding——Welcome player [Guan Yingying] to enter the game [Three Thousand Worlds (First Generation Edition), detected that the player's link method is abnormal, unable to return to [Player Hall], processing is in progress, please wait. ]
When the system prompt sounded, a bunch of memories instantly emerged in Guan Yingying's mind.
Those memories were what she once had, but after she entered this game, they were modified by the system.
She thought that she entered the "Three Thousand Worlds" after her death, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Not only did she recall "Don't Answer," but she also understood many more things in an instant.
"Thank you, Shuangshuang, are they okay?"
"Ah? They are fine. 'Don't Answer' is gone now. Most of the people in Ronghua are staying in the underworld."
Guan Yingying nodded: "That's good...but I can't leave now."
"Why?"
"President and the others are still here." Guan Yingying frowned, "The [Reincarnation Training] is a lie. When we entered the [Reincarnation Training], the place we came to was... the burial ground of dragons."
