"Little brother... little brother... wake up quickly!"
Under Zi Ling's urging, Yu opened her eyes with great effort.
But he suddenly discovered that many large or small black "tadpole"-like things were swimming around very close to him!
Seeing that he woke up, all the tadpoles turned around and left listlessly.
Yu seemed to hear their random voices, such as "boring", "boring", "it doesn't matter", etc. Soon they all disappeared into the space, as if they had traveled to the back of the world...
"Hey...little handsome guy, are you finally awake? You are really relaxing..."
Not far away, Hong Ling tilted her body strangely, with one hand on her hips and the other pointing forward, but she maintained an "arrogant" look like a portrait nailed to the wall.
Zi Ling, who was closest to him, hugged his right leg tightly with two slender arms and was looking up at him with a blush on his face. However, Zi Ling's eyes were trying very hard to move left and right to avoid him. With Yu’s gaze…
"...Haha, they really look like two little guinea pigs..."
Thinking of the extremely cute pair of "store treasures" in the pet store she once passed by, Yu smiled knowingly.
...The little guys will beg for food very well, and if they are not given fresh vegetables, they will hug their thighs pitifully... Such thoughts can't help but come to Yu's mind...
"You are the guinea pig! Your whole family is guinea pig!!!"
"Little brother is so bad, we will all know what you think..."
Hong Ling Zi Ling's protest immediately sounded in Yu's heart, interrupting his random thoughts. But he also found that his body was also unable to move. He folded his hands and placed them on his chest. His head was slightly lowered in the direction facing Zi Ling. He was so embarrassed that he had to pretend to be calm and his eyes wandered around.
"...Where are we..."
"Have you finally grasped the point? Handsome boy, your heart is really unusually big..."
Hong Ling shouted:
"If Ziling hadn't kept calling you, you would have been eaten by those things! You still call us guinea pigs, you are an ungrateful fellow!"
"...Um...what things? Is it the tentacle that caught us?"
"How stupid! It's those black 'empties'..."
Zi Ling underneath him explained softly:
"Those black ones are said to be residents from the virtual world. They are born with the ability to travel through the gaps in the world. Souls like my little brother who have left the body alive are what they are most interested in...
"...But they generally won't eat the souls of living people. In fact, if they can move, they can be driven away with just a wave of their hands. Apart from simple thoughts such as 'boring, boring, and indifferent', maybe they won't even 'eat' 'I don't even have this concept..."
"Hmph! If it's just a few seconds longer at night, when they are interested enough in you and think you are 'dead', they will crawl all over your body and devour any part they come into contact with! By then, Even if I wake you up, you will become a fool with a broken soul!"
Yu was startled by these words - had he "escaped death" unknowingly... In this way, he was lucky, but why didn't he have any sense of reality...
His body was unable to move. Looking from the direction he was facing, this place looked like a huge star crystal, with various shiny objects suspended everywhere inside, shining like stars inside the star crystal, but They are all still in a far distance, and it is difficult to see what they are...
And he can't feel the "weight" at all! Under his feet, a thin and long "line" was sticking to the soles of his feet, stretching out very far away...
...By the way, the name "Tianchen Xingjing" also suddenly appeared in Yu's mind. I don't know if it came from the Dharma God's Library that he just inherited, or somewhere else...
"Yes, little brother, Tianchen Xingjing is a specialty of our family. My mother said that she really likes eating star crystals, and ended up eating them like this...
"As for the thread under your feet, don't worry at all - it is the link between the soul and the body! And you will be very safe here with mom. Except for those virtual beings who are bored and only know how to wander around every day, nothing can enter. Came here…”
"...Um...Okay..."
Yu is still not used to this kind of answering-like communication. Can everything he thinks be perceived? Doesn’t that mean there are no secrets anymore?
——I have just received the Dharma God inheritance! Seeing how scared Hong Ling and Zi Ling were, and the way they captured us was so violent, the owner here didn’t seem to be a gentle and harmless being... Moreover, the inheritance of the Dharma God is such a precious thing, no one would turn a blind eye to it! What if the owner here is not good for me and the Dharma God inheritance is taken away...
no! Gotta think of a way!
...By the way, as long as you don't think about inheritance...
Yu hurriedly tried to clear his mind, but the more anxious he became, the more unable he was to do it...
All the experiences of inheriting and receiving the inheritance of the Dharma God emerged from his mind, and the library in his consciousness poured into his heart like flowing water!
In the middle of his forehead, the ring-shaped crystal seemed to have come to life, glowing faintly under the translucent soul skin...
"...Huh? Little brother, are you asleep again? Why can't I hear your voice..."
Zi Ling's question awakened Yu, making him even more confused.
…What’s going on? Isn't this place known as "no inner voice can be hidden"? Could it be that the inheritance of Master Dharma God can withstand the power of this space?
Yu looked at Zi Ling, bathing in the river of inheritance in his heart, and tried to call her name, but Zi Ling underneath him had no reaction except confusion, and his expression did not seem to be fake.
"Well, it really works. I didn't expect that Master Dharma God's inheritance is so wonderful!" Yu Xinxia praised:
"No need to worry anymore!"
The relaxed boy looked at the tiny Ziling, and the pair of guinea pig babies could not help but reappear. They were small, well-behaved and cute, and looked very similar to the red damask Ziling in front of him...
Especially the one that likes to hug people's thighs. I heard that it was specially modified by plastic shaping magic at birth, and its appearance and demeanor are very similar to the smaller version of the girl!
——But of course it’s impossible to be completely consistent. That might scare children who love animals. The pet shop owners who can come up with such a method are not that stupid...
...that guinea pig will be called "Xiao Zi" from now on... The other one is very arrogant and won't even touch the freshest vegetable leaves. It is a bit like the current Hong Ling, so let's call it " "Xiao Hong"...
...Eh...Purple sweet potato...Sweet potato...Haha, what an interesting name...
This strange young man who may be distracted at any time and at any time did not realize that the river of inheritance under his feet was quickly dissipating... After showing off the extraordinary features for a while, he probably confirmed that his master was not in danger, the Dharma God The inheritance transformed into a study room again, and the ring crystal on the forehead also became silent...
"You... said... what...?! Sweet potato?!!! Wait for me, you guy! Let's see how I educate you later!"
Hong Ling shouted loudly, if she wasn't imprisoned there, she would have countless ways to torture people to death - a certain old man not long ago is a living example!
Zi Ling underneath her looked aggrieved, obviously shocked, biting her lower lip pitifully...
The boy with erratic disorder was awakened again. The feeling of guilt that hit his face made him feel ashamed, and he lamented helplessly in his heart...
...I have done this so many times...I don’t have a long memory at all...Does my body have its own "fugue" attribute...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Little brother, if you call me Purple Rat, I'm not as good as a mouse in your heart..."
"Zi Ling! I have told you countless times - there is no good man in the human world! They should all be stepped on and rubbed on the soles of their feet!"
"...I'm really sorry...it's all my fault..."
The young man was extremely ashamed. Being clumsy, he could only repeat this feeble apology. He didn't know how to calm down the two pets... ah no... the resentment of the two girls...
However, the voices of condemnation and lamentation stopped abruptly!
The three of them noticed almost at the same time - deep in this space, there was a sudden slight and clear vibration. The three of them maintained their current appearance and began to be slowly pulled towards the source of the vibration...
"It's over! Mom really woke up early!!! Wuwuwu, Hong Ling, we are really going to be eaten this time..."
Zi Ling's cries became even more pitiful...
"Is that your mother in there? How could she eat you..."
...Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Generally speaking, no matter how rough and unreasonable the mother inside is, she would not do such a cruel thing...
It was hard for the kind-hearted young man to imagine that in such a strange but peaceful space, that strong man would turn out to be an extremely evil existence like a great demon! He even completely forgot that if he was really that evil, what kind of fate would he face when he was about to face her...
"...Uuuuuuuuu, mom is right here...we are already inside her body..."
…What? ! !
...It turns out that I have been swallowed by this strong man! Is this going to be digested? !
...No wonder Hong Ling and Zi Ling were so panicked. They were afraid they were in a desperate situation and could no longer escape!
…What else can we do?
...Being devoured by the strong is, in the final analysis, just because he is just an insignificant weakling!
...I just saw a little hope of getting stronger, I just made up my mind to get out of the haze of the past, is it going to end like this? !
…What does that sentence say…
..."Despair is as vain as hope"...right...
...Master Dharma God, it seems that I can only live up to your love...
…I wonder how sad my mother-in-law will be after she is eaten...My two sisters, Xiaosan and Xiaowu, may go crazy...
...Because if it were me, I would probably go crazy!
…Luolan…Xiangxiang…Lanling…Lanxin…
…and Erin!
…Farewell to those I hold dear…
…I’m really…unwilling…
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Hey, hey, hey! Damn guy, wake up!
"It's not you who will die! Don't you just want to be a fool!"
"...Hong Ling, haven't we already been eaten by this strong man and will be digested soon?"
"...I really lost to you! Are you the legendary 'brain monster'...
"Zi Ling has told you a long time ago that there will be no threat to you here, including mother!
"See for yourself! The 'threads' under your feet are still well connected..."
Yu looked at his feet. Although the line was already as thin as hair, it stretched endlessly without any feeling of breakage.
"...Little brother, we are different from you, we are spirits..."
Zi Ling explained:
"We were born here a long time ago when our mother was sleeping. Although our mother never recognized us as daughters and has become confused now, she is still our mother..."
"Then why would she eat you?"
Yu is extremely puzzled...
"Ahhhh, I'm so annoyed!"
Hong Ling became even more anxious:
"How can there be so many reasons?!
"Of course it's because she's hungry!..."
...You have to eat when you are hungry, drink water when you are thirsty, is it that simple...
I couldn't help but feel horrified...
"...Little brother, my mother used to be just like you, a gentle and kind mother! It's just that it took too long, and the entire Tianchen Star Crystal Mine she brought was eaten up, so my mother had to sleep frequently to reduce consumption. When we are so hungry that we can’t stand it anymore, we only eat a small part of our body…
"Don't look at how young we are now, but we were older than you before! My mother woke up hungry some time ago, and that's why we were like this...
"If nothing else happens, she should be able to continue sleeping for decades. By then, both of our bodies will have recovered, and it doesn't matter if we eat some... But I don't know what happened this time. Mom suddenly Woke up again...
"We like our mother very much! We are also willing to replenish her energy! But I don't know why, my mother has more and more problems now. Many times, she is not as good as a child. When she woke up a few times in the past few times, she didn't even know who we were. I can’t remember! I also lose my temper for no apparent reason…
"It doesn't matter just like this, as long as mom is happy... But mom is absorbing more and more energy. In the past, she would give us a little more, but the last time was the worst! Both of our energies will see each other soon. Mom only regained consciousness at the end of the day, and we almost disappeared! But mom was still too hungry to stand it, and it took us a long time to finally fall asleep again...
"Besides, it's all because of the novels recommended by that old man! After my mother read it last time, she actually transformed into countless kinds of mothers!..."
"Zi Ling! Stop talking, why didn't I realize that you have a talent for telling horror stories... A mother who wakes up hungry is enough... Now it's a mother who wakes up abnormally and gets angry... and there are all kinds of other things. If you wake up like this and make your mother angry... we will definitely be eaten up!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
………
Yu couldn't help but ask:
"But...isn't there anything else to eat...It's always okay to go back to your house and get some food like Tianchen Star Crystals, right?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Little brother, we are not residents of this world!
"I don't know when my mother came into this world. She was already in this world when the two of us were conscious! It's been a long, long time...
“And mom never wants to go out!
"I remember my mother once said that there is only one place where she can return to her hometown... But with her current physical condition, if she leaves here, it may destroy the entire human world...
"And there is no such thing as Tianchen Star Crystal in this world! The only thing mom can eat is the two of us..."
Hong Ling interrupted Zi Ling:
"Who said there isn't one?! Zi Ling, you forgot, one time my mother was so hungry that she almost went crazy and couldn't sleep. She was also afraid that she would accidentally eat us both, so she asked us to run as far away as possible! We couldn't worry about hiding secretly. When I woke up, I saw that my mother’s eyes were red with hunger. She randomly grabbed a star core and took a small bite. Although she threw it away quickly, I clearly felt that my mother’s energy suddenly increased a lot. , and I slept for many decades longer! Mom can definitely eat these star cores!"
"Of course I remember... But have you forgotten? Mom was in tears at that time... The kind of sadness that was so heavy that I couldn't breathe, and so thick that it couldn't be melted. Even us who were watching from a distance couldn't bear it, and we cried so hard that we couldn't bear it. , I never want to see a mother like that!"
"Hmph! That's better than starving to death! If we are really eaten this time, mom will have to eat those star cores in the future!"
"Star core?" Yu Ting didn't understand.
"Well, it's just those shiny things. There's obviously so much food..."
"Hong Ling, stop talking!"
I don't know why, Zi Ling's voice suddenly became firmer, and the trembling sound of sobbing disappeared.
"I don't know what those star cores are, although the star core will no longer glow after my mother bites it, as if it is dead... No! Even if it is a living thing, I will not Sympathy for them! Is there any truth in the human world that is more normal than the law of the jungle?! But Hong Ling, we are our mother’s daughters! Have you forgotten how kind your mother is? Why do we never tell her about playing outside again? What happened? In addition to the fact that my mother was getting hungrier and her waking hours were getting shorter and shorter, wasn't it because of my mother's pitiful expression of extreme yearning and extreme patience? Even so, my mother didn't even take a step out of the attic! No matter why she would rather go hungry than touch those things, I’m sure Mom has a good reason!”
"...Okay, okay...just pretend I didn't say anything...I'm also worried that my mother won't be able to hold on! Our bodies haven't even recovered half yet. What will happen after eating us?...Forget it, forget it, Anyway, I can’t see it anymore, anyway…just eat it…”
Hong Ling was a little incoherent, but her voice gradually calmed down.
...It turned out to be like this... Yu suddenly felt sympathy for this strong man he had never met before.
...Staying in this small attic for who knows how many years, I would rather go hungry than go out, for fear of what impact I would have on the human world - this is obviously a life like a prisoner! A strong man who is so powerful that he can create his own space within his body is willing to live in claustrophobic self-exile. Although he cannot understand it, it makes him awe-inspiring!
...But no matter what, Hong Ling and Zi Ling are now acquaintances. The spirits that can exist in Jialuo Academy should at least be harmless to the human world! The fate they are about to encounter, being devoured completely by their starving mother, is this the ending they deserve...
...However, even though Zi Ling said that she would not be in any danger, what could she do for them...
...watching them being eaten, remembering their names, and after leaving this space, piling up two empty graves for them and erecting tombstones with no meaning at all...?
...I am really weak!
The confused young man's heart was chaotic and noisy, as if there were countless voices mocking him...
——The weak gong beast, no matter how strong it is, cannot escape the fate of becoming a meal on the plate!
——The weak butcher shop girl, no matter how cute she is, has no ability to resist the invasion of evil!
——If you are weak, will you be like this in the future? !
——No matter how hard you try, you can't protect what you want to protect...
Countless voices shook my heart, but they gradually condensed into a low roar!
"No!!!
"I do not believe!!!
"Even if you are as weak as me, you are still recognized by the Dharma God and accepted as a disciple!
"Even if I am as weak as I am, I still have my mother-in-law and they treat me like family!
"Even if everything happened in front of me, it will still be sad at the end, at least for now -
"I don't agree!
"People say that weakness is the original sin, at least for me——
“I beg to differ!
“Can’t agree!
"Only happiness is a little more than sadness, hope is a little more than despair - even if it is only a tiny bit - it is the cornerstone for this world to survive to this day!
"Dear Lord Dharma God, please lend your loyal disciple enough power to leverage such a cold reality!!!"
In Yu's heart, the inheritance library suddenly rose into the sky! Like a soldier who has been away from the battlefield for a long time, he is included in his heart! Answer his call!
The library trembled with excitement, roared passionately, and roared angrily at the boundless darkness in the nameless place!
He couldn't hear any sounds or see any sights. His entire mind and body were completely immersed in this river of inheritance.
He saw the Dharma God in his youth resisting demons side by side with his comrades, dying of injuries countless times, burying the deceased with his own hands countless times, and continuing to fight with blood and tears countless times...
He saw the Dharma God at the peak of his power, leading the strong men of all races with their backs to the Tower of Light, and running around despite the siege of more than a dozen demons, just to rescue more human blood...
He saw the Dharma God with white beard and hair, working hard day and night just to create a more complete magic creation system...
In the blink of an eye, he saw the life of Dharma God and the blood and tears of the human race in that dark age!
That is the fearlessness and unyielding roar of countless human beings, and it is the purest survival obsession!
And in this long-lasting obsession, now there is his presence!
So it’s only now that this inheritance truly belongs to us!
This obsession has truly been passed down!
So Yu suddenly discovered that he, together with the inheritance river, had landed on top of the mysterious rune placenta at some point, and was rushing straight towards the center of the placenta with great determination, hitting the rune placenta!
Even if they are integrated with the inheritance river, their power is as insignificant as sand and gravel in front of the boundless rune placenta!
And when another agile consciousness suddenly jumped out from the surface of the rune placenta and merged in with great joy, the countless rune beings on the placenta immediately became allies and lined up beside him!
Their sand and gravel, after struggling to hit each other with scars again and again, finally broke through an insignificant crack in this vast placenta...
In just an instant, he was shaken out of the body by the infinite power contained in the placenta to an unknown distance!
But just this moment was enough for him to draw something called "bond" between him and the indescribable rhyme inside the placenta, which was like soul and body, as thin as hair but extremely tough!
This is enough to teach him to rely on this bond to silently call out:
"Ling...burn!"
