Chapter 30 Paper Man City 27
Mrs. Zhu was shocked and said, "Hey, don't act like you're a savior!"
"It was the bandits who killed them. Did the master ever harm them? No! Besides, isn't it the master's credit that they can meet again now?"
Zhao Xiaoxuan said angrily: "But he lied to them for ten years!"
"The master didn't lie to them!"
"Resurrection is risky. The master told them."
Madam Zhu snorted, "Do you think the master erased their memories of resurrection so that they can be controlled? You are totally wrong."
"A person's spirit and soul are originally one. How can an external soul parasitize quietly? Even if it is told in advance, the person will involuntarily fall into a coma in the magic circle and will not remember any instructions. In order to protect his own body, the original owner began to rationalize this matter."
"That is to say, coming back to life - this is something they forgot about themselves!"
"Do you know what they were afraid of when Qin Xue didn't tell them at the beginning that it was an evil ghost?"
"They are afraid that someone will come and take their bodies away!"
Mrs. Zhu laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. "They said it was as if there was someone living in their bodies who wanted to harm them! I wanted to die of laughter when I heard it. It's only one day, just one day. Don't you remember that you should make selfless contributions?"
Mr. Huang and Xu Pingting lowered their heads in shame, tears streaming down their faces.
The initial exchange is very sincere and serious. The other party is your own brother, sister, parents, and lover. You want to protect me and I also want to protect you.
"During the day, you use this heart and I'll make the paper mannequin. At night, we switch back and you make the paper mannequin, and we'll take turns living together. I won't let you die."
There is no way to bring the dead back to life in this world. The dead can never live again.
But if you bury the dead with your own blood, bones, flesh, soul, and heart in the soil, and plant them day and night, your lives will be intertwined like growing vines, never dying or abandoning. This is a sharing method that is like a curse. Who knows that in the beginning it was one person who wanted to save the life of another?
"I really can't stand listening to it anymore." Jiang Yuelu said.
"One side is good at brainwashing, and the other side just accepted it without even trying to refute it for themselves. In that case, I'll refute it for you." Jiang Yuelu looked like he had nothing to do anyway.
"You and your master seem to have accepted that people will selflessly sacrifice for others. Then I want to ask, will everyone in this world sacrifice their life for another person?"
"I have been locked up in the city for ten years, living a life like a ghost, unable to leave and others unable to enter. I am no different from being dead. You just brushed these things aside and then criticized one or two words of others. What right do you have to criticize me?"
"And your master seems to be conducting an experiment, right? In our human society, to conduct an experiment, you need to disclose enough details to the participants. What you said was a willingness is actually not fair at all. With just one sentence, they worked hard for you, but in the end, nothing good happened to them. They even had to be pointed at by a ghost like you. From this point of view, it would have been better for them to die ten years ago."
Jiang Yuelu said calmly: "At least I don't have to see your disgusting face or listen to your disgusting words anymore."
"you--!!!"
Mrs. Zhu was furious and kept struggling to break free from the system's control.
Mr. Huang knew that he was speaking for himself, and he was grateful. After thinking for a while, he said, "...I have seen many children like you over the years, and none of them could get out."
The wind in the ancestral hall became slower.
He seemed to see those young men in wizard robes again. Some of them stopped at the beginning, some stopped halfway, and some had been to South Town, and were only one step away from the truth.
He said in a voice that Jiang Yuelu could hear: "Besides you, there are two other wizards who have met us." He seemed to want to say that you should look for them to see if they are still alive. But he could no longer speak.
His time only flows in the night, and now the interval between yin and yang will no longer continue, and he will gradually separate in this contradictory tearing. This is not a pity, because life built on such a weak foundation will disappear one day.
But even so, he still wanted to take another look at the old woman's face.
As if hearing their calls, the paper cocoons burst, and the bones swam through the dark fog and came to their loved ones. The flesh and blood of Mr. Huang and others also slowly melted, and like Lin Wan, they melted together. The regret of "not being able to die on the same day and year" ten years ago came too late.
The flickering light dust passed across Jiang Yuelu's cheek and came close to her ear, as if it was a quiet word of thanks.
Lin Wan was right when she said this, this should have all ended long ago.
Jiang Yuelu glanced at Madam Zhu who was struggling to break free and rushing towards him. She was still shouting "No!" He thought to himself, it was too late. He picked up the sword that had been blessed again, and this time, he destroyed all the Shengji tombs on the altar.
Including the anonymous tablet at the top.
"System!" he said quickly, "I want to answer the questions."
"What is the second essay question?"
The system's control over the copy is falling apart, which is generally a good thing, because it will allow the higher-ups to find out and send people over. But can they hold on until then?
Until then, they can only rely on themselves to survive.
The system was also trying its best to maintain: "Essay question 2. What roles did Madam Zhu and Lord Zhu play in the two cities..."
Madam Zhu said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
"Ningning!" Lord Zhu exclaimed, "If you interfere with the questions again, you will die!"
"I want you to keep talking!"
Master Zhu murmured, "You really love him..."
Madam Zhu endured the great pain and cut off the system's announcement, trying her best to change the question again - at least to change the question to something Jiang Yuelu didn't know. Something completely unrelated to the prompt given by the system just now.
Is there anything else Jiang Yuelu doesn’t know?
He had a photographic memory and knew everything about Iron Town. He knew the connection between South Town and North Town, and he also knew that the owner did all this to support the nameless cemetery. The system also gave him special privileges, and now he even knew the origin of the paper figurine.
At least it has to be someone who has nothing to do with the whole town... That's right, that's right. Her eyes brightened up again.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yuelu thought to herself, this woman wants to change the subject again!
"Essay question 2. Madam Zhu and Mr. Zhu..."
The system, whose throat was being pinched, was stuck here and couldn't speak any more. It mechanically repeated "My Lord" and "My Lord" several times. The original words were erased by a person, and when it spoke again, it had become a vicious female voice that Jiang Yuelu was familiar with: "Aren't you supposed to answer questions? Let's try this one."
In less than a moment, an ethereal rustling sound suddenly came from the depths of the originally silent tablet.
The paper people who were sleeping in the darkness heard the mother's urgent call, raised their drooping white heads, and headed towards the mother's position like brand new white drums.
"Sand, sand, sand..."
Without a whisper, they cannot speak.
But they responded to Madam Zhu's call at an extremely fast speed. The motionless army of paper men suddenly started to blow up from the end, and in less than a few seconds, they had expanded several times and rushed out from the darkness.
Madam Zhu shouted, "Bring it here!"
They appeared like white ants, carrying two people, and divided into two rows behind the mother, one on the left and one on the right, rushing high into the sky.
Zhao Xiaoxuan quickly saw the two people submerged in the white paper, "..."
"Brother Lu. That is..."
Jiang Yuelu said: "I saw it."
Paper figures continued to pour out from the darkness, and soon two glowing white ribbons rose up in front of them. About the width of a person and as high as the ancestral hall, the huge fluttering of white paper silk brought a strong wind to the ground, which instantly scattered the tablets and cut several townspeople who were standing still in the middle of the wind.
In order to reverse the situation, Madam Zhu was willing to fight to the death. Unlike the minor fight at Zuixianlou, this time she would try her best to kill them.
Even with such a loud noise, the people tied to the white silk on both sides were still unconscious.
"Leng Jing! Lin Shenyin!"
The two were quickly transported to a high altitude by the paper mannequins. No matter how Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Chuan shouted, they could not open their eyes.
They seemed to be placed on an execution platform, awaiting the next trial.
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Now please answer."
"Essay question 2. Who are Lin Shenyin and Leng Jing?"
Before Jiang Yuelu could speak, Madam Zhu covered her mouth in a pretentious manner, "Oh. That's right."
"I forgot to tell you. The original question was to answer the identities of Madam Zhu and Lord Zhu. After answering correctly, these two people will be punished. Although the question has been changed, we still have to follow the original rules."
"What it means is - even if you answer correctly, they still have to accept the punishment."
Zhao Xiaoxuan asked: "What...what punishment?"
Mrs. Zhu laughed and said, "Death."
Zhao Xiaoxuan said: "What a joke! Leng Jing is different from you. Has he killed so many people?"
"Then I can't control it. This is the rule set by the answering system." Mrs. Zhu clapped her hands happily, "Okay, please give your answers quickly."
Even if the question is answered correctly, Leng Jing and Lin Shenyin, who have become the question, will die.
Jiang Yuelu stood in the ancestral hall with his head down and remained silent.
"Brother Lu, do you know the answer?" Chen Chuan asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yuelu nodded.
Chen Chuan looked up at the sky, it was very far away, no one could be seen, but he could still remember Leng Jing's smile. At first, he chose him with the idea of giving it a try, but after escaping death many times, he realized that the original choice was very correct. Why did he and Xiaoxuan think he was so good?
Is it because he has a bag of magical instruments?
No.
It was because he told himself and Xiaoxuan that no matter what happened, he would never abandon them. And then, he did it, didn't he? He took them along all the way, and just like Brother Lu, he never thought they were a burden.
Zhao Xiaoxuan recalled the day they sat together to have lunch. Everyone was there at the time, and they didn't know that so many people would die overnight. Then one by one...all of them died.
If they don't answer the questions, they will die.
If the answer is correct, Leng Jing and the others will die.
What should I do...
She looked at Jiang Yuelu helplessly, as if she could calm down by looking at this person when she was panicking. But he turned his head and looked outside the door. The dark atmosphere was hidden outside the thick fog, and it seemed that the sight of the small dark room appeared again.
“Very sensitive.”
On a huge tree not far away, a corner of red clothes was faintly fluttering.
Green fire swirled around the soles of his feet, like an ancient and secret magic circle with a mysterious totem inlaid in the middle.
"If you don't mind, I don't mind doing you a little favor."
He chuckled and raised his hand. The green fire gathered into a curved bow in his hand. Two cold arrow feathers were ready to be fired. His eagle-like eyes were aimed at the ancestral hall in the distance, and the smile on his lips disappeared in an instant.
The moment Jiang Yuelu opens her mouth to say "no", the arrows will shoot the two unconscious people to death.
