The widow on the blue star?
Chang Zizai was shocked after hearing this explanation!
Looking at the state of the group of people in front of him, he instantly understood why they were called "the survivors".
Because they are people who have never really died!
There is no body, only a soul exists.
They float like this all year round.
Few outsiders come in and talk to them.
Even if outsiders come in, they cannot be seen without [Yin Yang Eyes].
And they can't go out and see what's going on outside.
It was as if the whole city was like a cage, trapping them inside without seeing the sun or the moon all year round.
At this moment, Chang Zizai finally understood why the sky he just saw was gray.
Because in this strange city, there is no life of flesh and blood, only a group of lonely souls reside.
And after that old voice sounded.
The boatmen, women and lovers standing around all made way for a passage, and then turned to look at the same position in unison.
Chang Zizai came back to his senses, looked up and saw three figures walking towards him.
The one walking at the front was a white-haired, hunchbacked old woman with a withered face.
She was leaning on a cane, stepping up the stone steps and arriving in front of Chang Zizi.
Behind the old woman, there were two energetic old men, wearing a green robe and a black robe respectively.
"Ahem."
The old woman coughed first and then glanced at Chang Zizi.
After catching the doubt in his eyes, he said, "I am one of the oldest people living here.
Thanks to the younger generations for taking care of me, please call me Granny Yan.
If the distinguished guest doesn't mind, you can also call me this. "
Chang Zizai naturally did not raise his eyebrows. He immediately clasped his fists and saluted the old woman, "Grandma Yan."
Then he frowned and asked, "How long have you lived here?"
Grandma Yan glanced at the boatmen, women and children, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she said softly, "You can talk to the distinguished guests yourself."
The Azhu girl who had held Chang Zizi's back with her hands just now immediately pursed her lips and said with a smile, "It's been almost three years since I came here."
And the innocent little girl with two braids also raised her hands to answer.
“I just came in last year, less than a year.”
A dark-faced boatman said with a smile, "I've been here a little longer than them all, six years."
"Me, it's been almost eight years."
"And me, for over twelve years."
"Hmph, did I say anything for twenty years?"
"Is twenty years amazing? How can I say thirty years?..."
Whenever a voice sounded, Chang Zizi would look over subconsciously.
And as he listened to the responses from each widow, he couldn't help but feel more and more surprised.
Unexpectedly, this group of widows living in this strange city would have different time spans?
Among them, those who have been here for the shortest time are less than a year.
The person who has lived the longest is undoubtedly the Granny Yan in front of me, who has lived in this strange city for a full 384 years!
When Chang Zizi heard this age, he suddenly looked shocked, and his doubts became more intense.
But he didn't wait for him to ask his doubts.
Grandma Yan, as if she had read through his thoughts, spoke first and said, "What do you call your distinguished guest?"
Of course Chang Zizai told him frankly and said that he came from Kunlun Mountain.
When I passed by Wudang Mountain tonight, I remembered the strange market in Shennongjia, so I wanted to come and have a look.
Unexpectedly, I actually entered this strange city by accident.
"I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart."
Granny Yan looked at Chang Zizi, a gleam of wisdom flashed in her old turbid eyes, and continued, "And you are able to come in here, and you also mastered a [Yin Yang Eye], so you can see our existence.
That means you are destined to this place and to us..."
After a pause, Granny Yan looked into Chang Zizi's eyes and spoke slowly.
"When you heard my age just now, were you surprised? Were you also confused?
Wondering why I can live here for a relatively long time? "
Chang Zi nodded truthfully.
He did have such an idea just now and wanted to ask, but Granny Yan interrupted him first.
At this moment, when Granny Yan asked about it, Chang Zizi felt a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the old woman's eyesight was so powerful that she could directly see through his mind.
Unexpectedly, Granny Yan smiled lightly.
"Actually, I can't see through your mind, I'm just inferring based on common sense.
After all, a mortal's life lasts only a hundred years.
But I have lived here for nearly four hundred years.
Not to mention you, if it were someone else, I think they would be very surprised and confused..."
When Chang Zi heard this, he suddenly understood and nodded.
This is indeed the case.
At this moment, Granny Yan looked at him and suddenly asked a question with a smile.
"Dear guest, did you notice anything special when you just listened to them talking about the time they came in?"
Chang Zizai suddenly raised his head, first glanced at Granny Yan, and then at Miss Azhu, the little girl with braids, and the dark-faced boatman.
And while Chang Zizai was scanning the people around him, he was thinking about the common points among them.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the face of a child, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, finally figuring out a very special point in it.
He quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Granny Yan again. His mind was shaken again and he blurted out, "The time doesn't coincide?!"
This time Granny Yan was not the only one who smiled and nodded.
Miss Azhu, the little girl with braids, the dark-skinned boatman and so on, all showed a knowing smile and nodded one after another.
Obviously agreeing with Chang Zizi's answer.
And when Chang Zizi looked at the smiles of this group of survivors, he couldn't help but feel a wave of panic in his heart!
He guessed it right!
The widows standing in front of him at this moment all entered this strange city at different times.
Some have been here for less than a year, some have been here for two years, some for three years, some for five years, ten years...
In short, no one’s time overlaps here!
And the time interval between each person's arrival is measured in "years"!
Thinking of this, Chang Zizai suddenly felt a creepy feeling!
At the same time, many doubts popped up in his mind.
Why do these widows live in this strange city?
And who deprived them of their physical bodies?
And where do they come from?
Why does each widow enter this strange city at a different time?
Also, how did this strange city come into being? !
Doubts kept popping up one after another, making Chang Zizai feel an impatient urge to uncover the truth.
but!
Before he could continue thinking about it, Granny Yan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, telling him a shocking truth!
"actually……"
