"As you can see, it is a city." Writing appeared on the tablet of the God of Death.
"How can people in this city die and live and live and die over and over again?" Li Xiu said coldly: "Tell me honestly, does the City of Love really exist, or is it just a memory? The city in the city?"
"If you want to know, you can go to the cemetery outside the Black Death City. The answer you want is there." Such a line appeared on the tablet of the God of Death.
"You can tell me directly." Li Xiu said, staring at the God of Death tablet.
"If you haven't seen some things, you won't be able to understand them even if I tell them. After experiencing it yourself, you will naturally understand everything." The God of Death tablet talked a lot today.
"Okay, I'll go there first and take a look. When I come back, if you keep being so evasive, don't be afraid that I won't be rude." Li Xiu thought for a while and said.
The things he encountered in the cemetery outside the Black Death City had already made him somewhat suspicious that those buried in the cemetery might be people from the City of Love.
Li Xiu first asked Chu Jun to come over and asked Chu Jun to help him treat his injuries again.
"I said Li Xiu, what have you been doing all day? How long has it been and why are you injured so badly?" Chu Jun frowned as he looked at the injuries on Li Xiu's body.
While Li Xiu was treating his injuries, he explained things about the City of Love and the City of Black Death.
Chu Jun listened and said: "The last time I heard you talk about this, I was thinking, could the City of Love be the former Black Death City, a mirage that does not exist at all?"
"I think so too, but if it's just an illusory kingdom, I shouldn't be injured. Besides, I killed some demon spirits outside the City of Love before and brought the demon core back. Those things can't be fake." Li monasticism.
"I have also considered this. Do you think it is possible? The City of Love is a fragment of time and space intercepted by some kind of force. That fragment of time stays there forever and keeps repeating itself." Chu Jun thought for a while. said.
"This should be the most likely explanation at the moment." Li Xiu nodded and said, "What exactly is the situation? Maybe this time we can get the answer by going to Black Death City."
"I'll go with you." Chu Jun said.
"No, you have to organize the Trialist Competition, and that place is different from the City of Love. I have to explore it myself." Li Xiu shook his head.
After treating the injury, Li Xiu went to the Brave Trial Gate and directly used the trial badge to enter the trial with admission tickets. Li Xiu arrived at Black Death City and found that many trialists had come to the city, which was very different from when it was empty before.
All the Black Death Demons in the city have long been killed, and the trialists are coming and going, almost like a market.
Of course, most of these trialists are not trialists from the City of Light, but those who come to compete. Because there is only one trial gate in the City of Light, they all come here when there is no competition. Li Xiu took a quick glance and saw a lot of familiar testers. They should be testers from the Immortal Heaven.
Li Xiu's appearance also attracted the attention of many people, because outside things could not be brought into the trial place, and there was no way to cover his face, so everyone could see clearly.
Li Xiu didn't want to talk to anyone, so he headed directly towards the city gate of the cemetery, and soon arrived in front of the city gate. "Li Xiu." Just as he was about to open the city gate, he heard someone calling his name.
Li Xiu knew it was Li Qingyi from the voice. He turned around and saw Li Qingyi in green clothes walking over. "Why are you here too?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.
Most trialists go to canyons and deserts, and few trialists go to the Dead Sea and cemeteries.
Li Xiu had already issued an announcement in the City of Light before, telling the testers that the outside of these two city gates was very dangerous. There have been testers who did not listen to the advice before, and many of them disappeared.
"Too many trialists have come, and now I can't find any demons to kill, so I want to try my luck outside the door here." Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
"I have something to do outside the city. There are some unexplainable things outside the city. What are you doing?
Let's go look elsewhere. Li Xiu advised.
"You can go, but I can't. Do you mean that I'm not as good as you?" Li Qingyi said with a smile. "Of course that's not what you mean. If nothing happens, I won't take risks there." Li Xiu said.
"I wonder what happened to Director Li? As a member of the technician team, your subordinates are naturally obliged to help you solve problems." Li Qingyi obviously didn't want to let Li Xiu go just like that.
"It's a personal matter, so I won't bother you." Li Xiu couldn't explain it.
"Okay, you do your thing, and I'll go around as I please." Li Qingyi said.
Li Xiu was helpless. If she was an ordinary subordinate, he would just let her go back. Unfortunately, Li Qingyi was not actually his subordinate.
"Okay, let's go together, but the situation outside is a bit complicated, and you don't know much about the situation here..."
Before Li Xiu finished speaking, Li Qingyi blinked and said, "Don't worry, Commander, everything will follow the Commander's command." Li Xiu shook his head, stretched out his hand to push the winch, and raised the city gate.
Not far after they went out, they saw the cemetery.
"Why are there so many graves here?" Li Qingyi asked curiously.
"I think a lot of Demon Kingdom people died here in the past." Li Xiu said and walked towards the cemetery.
"Agui..." I didn't see Agui outside the cemetery, and Li Xiu didn't go in directly. He just shouted twice outside.
"Why are you here again?" After a while, Agui walked out from the depths of the cemetery and stood next to the outermost grave, looking at Li Xiu and saying with a depressed look.
But when he saw Li Qingyi next to Li Xiu, Agui's eyes lit up: "What do you call this beauty?" "Li Qingyi, Li Xiu's subordinate." Li Qingyi said himself.
Hearing this, A Gui looked at Li Xiu with some jealousy and said, "You are really good at raising such a beautiful subordinate."
Li Qingyi heard the implication of A Gui's words, but just smiled without explaining anything.
Li Xiu was too lazy to explain to Ah Gui and asked directly: "A Gui, has anything strange happened in this cemetery recently?" "How do you know there is something strange in the cemetery?" Ah Gui was a little surprised. He asked, looking at Li Xiu.
"Tell me first what strange thing happened?" Li Xiu asked quickly.
A-Gui glanced at Li Qingyi, and Li Xiu understood what he meant, and quickly said: "As a member of your own family, if you have anything to say, just say it." A-Gui then said, "Remember the grave where something came out before, right?"
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu asked with a strange expression.
The grave that the ghost was talking about was naturally the one that crawled out with small steps like an evil spirit last time.
"A few hours ago, there was movement on that grave mound again, emitting a strange purple light..." A Gui roughly said.
After hearing this, Li Xiu's expression became even more strange. The time A Gui mentioned was the time when he entered the City of Love and Xiao Bu'er died.
"It seems that Xiao Bu'er is buried in the tomb, but why will the grave here change after Xiao Bu'er from the City of Love dies? Could it be that the life and death of Xiao Bu'er from the City of Love will affect this place? "Li Xiu thought to himself.
"Take us to see it." Li Xiu said and stepped into the cemetery.
Li Qingyi also followed, and under the leadership of A Gui, the three of them headed towards the depths of the cemetery.
After a while, Li Xiu saw purple light flashing in the cemetery in front. After bypassing the large grave in front, he saw the grave that he had crawled out of before with small steps like an evil ghost.
The grave mound was intact as before. What was strange was that there were many small purple stars twinkling on the tomb mound.
After taking a closer look, I realized that those were not small stars at all, but small bugs that looked like fireflies, their bodies emitting a bright purple light.
"What's going on with those bugs?" Li Xiu stared at the bugs, but couldn't sense the aura of the demon spirit on them.
"It seems to have emerged from under the grave.
There were not so many when I came to see them not long ago, but over a period of time, they seemed to have increased several times. "A-Gui muttered.
Li Xiu frowned and said nothing as he looked at the insects on the tomb. The God of Death tablet asked him to come over, probably because he wanted to see what was inside the tomb.
The horror of the evil ghost Xiao Bu'er last time was still fresh in Li Xiu's memory. The main reason was that the power of ordinary trialists had no effect on the evil ghost Xiao Bu'er, which was indeed a bit troublesome.
"These should be soul insects, right?" Li Qingyi said suddenly. "Soul worm, what is that?" Li Xiu and Ah Gui both looked at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi thought for a while and then said: "Legend has it that there are some extremely powerful demon spirits. After they die, their souls will turn into soul insects and gather in the place of death."
"I've killed a lot of demons, but why haven't I seen a soul worm?" Li Xiu had even killed god-level demons, but he had never seen a soul worm.
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "Only some extremely powerful demon spirits can turn into soul insects after death. I have only seen it once. It was a trial place that my father took me to. There was a big tomb there, and on the tomb It’s full of soul worms, as if a volcano is burning. However, the soul worms there are golden, not purple, but they all look the same, and I’m not sure whether these are soul worms.”
"What harm can soul insects do?" Li Xiu asked.
"There shouldn't be any harm. My father caught a few soul worms with his hands and put them in bottles for me to play with. They were very beautiful, but it didn't take long for the soul worms in the bottles to disappear." Li Qingyi said.
"It's good that there's no danger." Agui was worried about the threat these soul insects would pose. Hearing Li Qingyi say this, he immediately felt relieved.
Li Xiu looked at the soul worms on the grave, hesitating whether to dig up the grave to see what was inside.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw the soul insects on the grave mound flying up from the grave mound as if they were frightened.
Li Xiu and Agui quickly retreated. Although Li Qingyi said that the soul worm should not be a threat, they were still not sure whether it was a soul worm, so naturally they did not dare to take risks.
Li Qingyi was also retreating, obviously she herself was not confident enough.
After the group of soul insects flew up, they pounced towards the three of them at an astonishing speed. "Spread out." Li Xiu yelled and took the lead in one direction.
Li Qingyi and Ah Gui also ran in different directions. As a result, when Li Xiu turned around, he found that the soul insects ignored Li Qingyi and Ah Gui at all, and rushed towards him one by one.
"I'm going, I haven't dug the grave yet, I just thought about it, can this also lead to retribution?" Li Xiu felt a little depressed. Seeing that the soul insects were almost behind him, Li Xiu summoned the forbidden spear to use In Gatling state, he bombarded the soul insects wildly.
As a result, those bullets all passed through the body of the soul worm, as if they were all ghost bodies.
"This thing is the same thing as the evil ghost Xiao Bu'er before... Ordinary trialists' power can't hurt them at all..." Li Xiu immediately realized the problem and had to use his spiritual sense. Cross the line.
Only spiritual consciousness that has crossed the line can have an impact on this kind of thing. This is what was done when the evil ghost Xiao Buer was dealt with last time.
But before Li Xiu could activate his spiritual power, the soul insect that rushed not far in front of him suddenly stopped and stopped charging at Li Xiu.
The soul insects shining with purple light were flying in the air, and they gradually arranged into two characters.
"Uncle..." When Li Xiu saw the two words arranged by the soul worms in the air, he didn't know what it felt like. The last time the evil ghost Xiao Buer also called out these two words under the stimulation of Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness.
This time, these soul insects actually arranged these two words, which surprised and delighted him. "Xiao Bu'er, is that you?" Li Xiu asked quickly.
"Uncle, it's me." The formation of the soul worms changed and became four words again.
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Xiu's mind: "If the people buried in these graves are all the people from the City of Love, and if the person in the grave is really Xiaobu'er, how could she know about me?
? Unless our previous speculations are all wrong, the City of Love is not an illusory country, nor is it a certain memory space. If that is the case, even if Xiaobuer is buried in this grave, she cannot possibly know her existence. . "
Now Li Xiu can only guess two possibilities. One possibility is that the City of Love is the Black Death City in the past, and the God of Death tablet sent him to the Black Death City in the past. He and the people in the City of Love have experienced Those, so Xiaobuer, who has long since died and turned into a ghost, will remember him.
There is another possibility, maybe the two cities are simply parallel spaces that can influence each other, so what happens in the City of Love will affect here.
In Li Xiu's opinion, these two possibilities are extremely unlikely.
What an incredible power it is to turn back time. When he fought against the Death God Tablet before, if the Death God Tablet really had that ability, he would have been killed long ago. Would he still wait until now?
The intersection of parallel spaces is something that only exists in some fantasy works. In reality, Li Xiu has never heard of the existence of such a thing as parallel spaces.
"Xiao Bu'er, what happened?" Li Xiu directly asked the doubts in his heart. This may be the closest he has come to the truth.
"I don't know what happened." The soul worm kept changing various forms of magic text in the air. Fortunately, Li Xiu recognized the magic text.
Li Xiu continued to communicate with the soul worms, and soon he realized something.
Although these soul insects have Xiao Bu'er's memory, that memory only lasts until she was killed by the mysterious man, and she doesn't know what happened next.
As the communication time increased, soul worms continued to disappear, and there were fewer and fewer soul worms in the air. After a while, there were not many left.
"Big...I feel so tired and I'm going to sleep." Because there are too few soul worms, I can only change it word by word.
"Xiaobu'er, wait for me, maybe I can save you." Li Xiu murmured to himself as he watched the last soul insect disappear.
Now he is sure that what happens in the City of Love can affect the Black Death City. So if he defeats the mysterious man and saves those in the City of Love, Xiaobuer and others will not have to die. .
Li Xiu wasn't sure if that was the case, but he wanted to give it a try. But thinking about that mysterious person, Li Xiu had a headache again.
Except for his spiritual power, his trialer power has minimal influence on the mysterious man, and there is no possibility of defeating the mysterious man at all.
However, the power of spiritual consciousness does not have real lethality. At most, it can make the mysterious person fall into an illusion.
The scary thing is that the mysterious man's spiritual consciousness is also very strong. The spiritual consciousness power that Li Xiu's body can support can only make him fall into the illusion for a short time. Such a short time is not enough for Li Xiu to do anything.
"It seems that we still need to be promoted to the divine level. Only by increasing our physical strength can we be able to unleash more spiritual consciousness. Even if the spiritual consciousness does not reach the level of hurting people, there may be a chance to make the mysterious person fall into an illusion for a long time. ....." Li Xiu, A Gui and the others came to Xiao Bu'er's grave again. The vision there had disappeared, the grave was no longer shining, and there were no purple soul worms on it.
After saying goodbye to the ghost, Li Xiu and Li Qingyi returned to the city.
Li Qingyi had many doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask anything.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Li Xiu was about to blow out his longevity lamp, but was pulled by Li Qingyi. "What's wrong?" Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi suspiciously and asked.
"Do you remember what I told you just now, that my father once took me to a large tomb in a trial place?" Li Qingyi said.
"Remember, you were the soul worm you saw there, what happened?" Li Xiu didn't know why Li Qingyi suddenly mentioned this matter.
"I was not very old at that time, and many years have passed. Except for the soul worms and the big grave, which are more vivid in my memory, I can't remember some details. But when I saw you communicating with those soul worms just now, I suddenly recalled something." When Li Qingyi said this, he seemed a little depressed and did not continue talking immediately.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiu knew that Li
Qing Yi said that the incident he remembered must have something to do with him, so he quickly asked.
Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment and then said: "I remember when I was playing with a bottle, my father also spoke to the big grave like you, and the soul worms on the big grave were also arranged into some words like this. I hadn't learned the magic text at that time. In the past, soul worms were flying around. Now that I think about it, those must be the magic texts. Because I didn't know them at all at the time, I don't remember what those magic texts were, but there were two It was a relatively simple symbol that I had memorized at the time, but now that I think about it, it probably means small steps."
