Chapter 2114 The shackles of the world are but a dream, formless, shapeless, and without self.
"hiss……"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and obediently placed the ice cubes in front of Si Jin's door. However, just as he straightened up and knelt down, he saw Si Jin take something from the bedside table and casually toss it to him.
Lin Yuan reached out and took it, glanced at it, and saw that it was a roly-poly toy.
What are you going to do with this?
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I heard Si Jin close his eyes and lazily speak again: "If you put a roly-poly toy on your head and kneel there, every time the roly-poly toy shakes, you have to kneel for two more hours."
Lin Yuan: (╥ω╥`)
Little A Yuan put on a pitiful expression, trying to elicit a little sympathy from his master: "Master, I've already knelt on ice for two legs, so this is practically a crematorium for two people, isn't it?"
"Originally, it was calculated." Si Jin shrank into the quilt, the faint red from her tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes, carrying a captivating aftertaste.
Because the journey to Linyuan was slower than ever before, it offered a more... unique experience.
Si Jin felt as if she had remembered something strange. Her white hair hung messily down her cheeks, her voice was hoarse, and at first glance, she looked easy to bully.
It makes you want to rush over right now, hold him down, and kiss him hard until tears stream down your face.
But what came out of his mouth was sharp and unreasonable: "If you dare to have a problem with me, you'll have to add a roly-poly toy to your list."
Lin Yuan parted his lips, took several deep breaths to stop his gaze from constantly trying to penetrate Si Jin's clothes, and lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Disciple dares not."
You sighed.
Lin Yuan: ?
Si Jin turned away haughtily, refusing to look at him: "When you saw the ice cube, you took a deep breath of cold air, which means you had a problem with my punishment. Add another punishment."
Lin Yuan parted his lips, intending to argue, but the next second, he held back.
Fine, when Jinjin is angry, even his breathing is wrong, so he might as well use his divine power to hold his breath and kneel on the ice block QAQ.
The crematorium, oh the crematorium, it's so cold QAQ.
Seeing Xiao Junshang's pitiful expression, Si Jin felt a little better.
In fact, he also knew why Xiao A Yuan didn't come in the previous world.
Firstly, he had recently fought a battle with Su Linyuan in a lower plane, and his divine power was unstable, making it difficult for him to recover.
The most important thing is that he wants to force himself to reconcile with the other "Si Jin" and try to accept his past and all his imperfections.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, would always show him through his actions that it was okay, no matter how timid he was, he was still his favorite.
Perhaps, Xiao Ayuan didn't want him to lose his soul and become incomplete.
Thinking about it carefully, there's really nothing to blame him for.
Si Jin could tell that this plane, like the one Su Linyuan was in, was virtual.
To coax him into fusing the fragments, a miniature version of A Yuan from another dimension was specially created. Why blame him?
But... I just want to be irrational.
Si Jin didn't know when it started, but she felt that she might have been a little too willful.
Normally, he would constantly remind himself to correct it in time.
But as for Ayumi, it probably... doesn't matter, right?
A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love, and when love runs deep, you can use divine power to lash out without any problem.
Rakshasa arrived at some unknown time and just took Xiao Yao away.
Quietly, drowsiness crept in, and Si Jin gradually closed her eyes.
In a hazy state, he seemed to hear the mechanical monitoring system's final announcement: [Congratulations, host, the mission is complete. You will be unbound shortly.]
Without this, Si Jin's clear mind seemed to relax instantly, and she smiled faintly.
It's been so many years since I've felt this relaxed.
But what will happen to Xiaoyao if the scoring and monitoring system is gone?
That timid and cowardly personality, if given to another host, wouldn't they be bullied to death?
No, Si Jin remembers that there seems to be a small spring by Yaochi. If the system is blessed by the gods, it can completely detach from its mechanical body and be taken home as a spirit pet.
At that time, Xiao Yao will become a spirit pet like Rakshasa.
Perhaps he could enlighten Xiao Yao when they get back.
Before falling completely asleep, Si Jin's mind wandered, imagining almost every wonderful future she could imagine, and she felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and peace in her heart.
Back when he was released from the Celestial Prison, he dismantled the system, ruined the plot, and sought out casual sex partners. He was filled with resentment and was originally planning to give up entirely.
Back then, I never imagined I could have such high hopes for now.
… …
Splash—
[The level 10 Heavenly Lightning punishment has ended. The prisoner has fainted. He was successfully revived using ice water.]
Si Jin had no idea where her consciousness had fallen to.
It's cold, so cold.
The icy water in the Heavenly Prison carries a chilling poison that seeps into his bones. It's enough to keep him awake, but if he continues like this, it will erode his body and leave him with a chronic condition of cold hands and feet.
This is why he feels cold whenever he is afraid.
The same applies now.
However, this coldness felt more real, like the heavy hand of a demon, dragging him into an abyss of no return.
Si Jin shook her head twice, reached out to support herself on the ground, and struggled to get up, listening to the system's continued broadcast above her head.
[Prisoner No. 001, Si Jin, has been detected to have serious mental problems, exhibiting excessive delusional tendencies. Electroshock therapy is recommended.]
Si Jin's pupils contracted. Before he could react, a powerful electric current surged through his body, burning his blood and consuming his fragile life.
It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much...
I'm having trouble breathing; even death seems unattainable.
But Si Jin's mind was not on the electric shock at all.
What did the system mean by that?
What does it mean that he has an excessive tendency towards delusions?
Could it be that... everything he said he experienced before was just a dream?
Is it all a dream that Xiao Yao, bound to the system, keeps atoning for his sins, meets a god who is willing to forgive him, and sees Yu Yan again?
What about A-Yuan? Is A-Yuan also... a fake?
What about everything he went through?
Where is the light he is chasing?
thump--
After an unknown amount of time, Si Jin's pain finally disappeared.
The system's emotionless voice continued to hover overhead: "[Electroshock ended. To be continued at the same time tomorrow. Prisoner 001, goodnight.]"
Good night, good night...
These two simple words represent the warmest care that Tian Shen Prison offers to its inmates.
Si Jin collapsed to the ground, her fingertips twitching uncontrollably, her bones feeling like they were melting, and she couldn't even stand up.
But he gritted his teeth, struggled to his feet, and searched the wall for the line of words he had left behind.
He didn't believe it was all fake; he didn't believe he hadn't experienced anything!
He can find the flaws and shatter this absurd cage!
He remembered that when he was released from prison, he left a message on the wall: "Having shed the old shackles, I now know who I am."
If... if he really went out, these words would have remained. He needs to find the place where they were written and verify it.
If all else fails, then...
But before he could finish thinking, he saw the bare wall in front of him.
There were no words, nothing at all.
It's as if someone is deliberately trying to erase all the beautiful memories from his heart.
In that instant, Si Jin's mind went blank, as if something had suddenly exploded, forcing him to grit his teeth, stand up straight, and use all his strength to strike the wall in front of him.
It's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!
He can't stay here. He hasn't finished kneeling on the ice blocks yet. He has to go find him!
However, he was soon bound by another powerful divine force.
On the floor of Prisoner 001's cell, there is a huge magic circle that suppresses him, in order to prevent him from going mad and disrupting the order of the divine realm.
Si Jin was forcibly pinned to the ground. *Thud*
His bones were about to break, but he didn't care. He really wanted to fight his way out and see, just one look.
Or perhaps someone could come and hug him, or a voice could come to his rescue.
Please, please don't leave him here alone, please don't abandon him.
He'll go crazy if all hope and beauty are just illusions!
Si Jin unleashed her divine power, desperately trying to break free from the control of the magic array. After struggling all night, she ended up covered in wounds.
His leg seemed to be broken; his blood stretched three meters long on the ground, spreading out of the cell door.
Here, every minute and every second seems to be stretched out infinitely, and even the passage of time becomes a long torment.
I don't know how much time passed; it felt like several centuries.
Finally, Si Jin gave a bitter laugh, as if she had thought of something, her fingertips falling to the ground, stained with her own blood.
Slowly, slowly, two lines of crooked words were drawn on the wall behind him.
Shedding the old shackles, I finally know who I am.
The shackles of this world are but a dream, formless, shapeless, and without self.
