casket of old days

Chapter 503 Memory
Chu Qiguang knew that Lin Lan had always been in two states because of his relationship before and after his death.

One is closer to the pre-life, with the strength, pride, obsession, and even some memories of the pre-life.

The other is the personality formed by the memories and experiences after death, because he has lived in a large library since he was a child, has no contact with the outside world, rarely communicates with others, and has been immersed in the world of books for a long time.

Under these factors, Xiaolan with this personality is more cold, shy and even cowardly, and she trusts Chu Qiguang more.

And because of the extreme differences between the two, Chu Qiguang also called them Dalinlan and Xiaolinlan in his heart.

At this moment, with Chu Qiguang's call, Xiao Linlan seemed to wake up and stopped Da Linlan from moving.

Rigi started to operate again, and the relationship between Chu Qiguang and Lin Lan intensified again.

With the gradual disappearance of the phalanx, the black fire on Chu Qi's bald head can be seen getting more and more violent, and Lin Lan is also leaning towards Chu Qiguang bit by bit under the terrifying suction.

"Are you stupid?!" Da Linlan roared angrily, "When he subdues us, we will become his puppets who listen to everything, and we will never be free. At that time, we can do whatever he asks us to do..."

Xiao Linlan said weakly: "Even so...is there anything wrong? I...I am willing to listen to Brother Chu."

"Ah!!!" Da Linlan was angry and anxious when she heard this: "Waste! You are a waste!"

With the continuation of the ritual, Lin Lan's memory fragments began to emerge in Chu Qiguang's mind, which indicated that the ritual was about to succeed.

Chu Qiguang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally done." '

The next moment, the light and shadow flowed in front of his eyes, and Chu Qiguang seemed to see Lin Lan's past life in his eyes.

……

"What's your name?"

"Lin... Lin Sufen."

In the yard, an old man wearing the robe of Zhenmensi squatted on the stone steps.

His cloudy eyes swept across the row of children in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on a little girl in shabby clothes.

The little girl was thin and frail, her face was full of fear, and there were still large tear stains on her face.

The old man said slowly, "Lin Sufen, all the little ghosts here are just like you, they were all sold to me by my parents."

"Since your parents don't want you anymore, you don't have to think about them anymore."

"From now on, the only one you can rely on is yourself..."

……

There are very few memories before entering Zhenmagus. In Lin Sufen's childhood memories, more are related to Zhenmagus.

They were recruited by the psychic school of Zhenmensi.

The study of ghosts has been associated with horror, cruelty, and cold-blooded since the beginning.

Even the powerful people who have achieved success in cultivation often fall on the road of exploration of ghosts.

And Lin Sufen, like the rest of the children... was raised as a consumable for ghost research.

In order to obtain excellent materials, the school of psychics exhausted all means to enhance them.

To reduce the influence of demonic contamination in their own bodies, they are not allowed to touch any books, cannot contact the outside world, and cannot obtain any knowledge and information.

To enhance resistance to ghosts, we need to try our best to wear down their emotions, maintain their cold psychology, and let them adapt to pain and fear...

In addition to this, the School of Psychics is still working hard to increase their obedience and reduce the possibility of them getting out of control...

……

The little girl sat cross-legged on the ground with her companions, with her eyes closed and her heart turned to the sky.

The scorching sun shone on their bodies, and sweat gradually gushed out from the little girl's forehead.

Beads of sweat ran down the bottom of her nose, and she couldn't help twisting her nose because of the itching.

boom!
The stick hit her body as if traveling through space.

A sharp pain came from the waist and abdomen, and the little girl fell to the ground in an instant, moaning in pain.

"Continue to meditate."

"Remember, the key to meditation lies in the word 'forbearance'."

"Whether he is exposed to the wind or the sun, the pain is still numb, or he is hungry and sleepy... all have to bear it..."

"The so-called unbearable as the earth..."

The little girl got up trembling and continued to meditate.

Meditation lasted three days and three nights.

Feelings like numbness and pain are irrelevant in the end.

Cold, hunger, tiredness... these things made the little girl want to give up meditation time and time again.

She didn't know how she persisted in the end.

It's just that the number of companions around ends up being cut in half.

She never saw them again.

After three days of cultivation, the meditation training started again.

This time, after taking a few pills, they were soaked in cold water.

Another batch of new children were sent in and also participated in the training.

Another three days later, the training ended, and this time there were two-thirds fewer people.

Meditation training continued over and over for several years.

The people around came and went, and the number of people kept changing, but the little girl stayed here all the time, getting more and more used to various meditation trainings.

……

With a puff.

The tip of the knife pierced into the thigh.

With the stirring of the blade, blood gradually flowed out.

The girl's body trembled slightly, but her face was still expressionless, like a stone.

The old man pulled out his dagger and said slowly, "Not bad, but not enough."

"The pain after being possessed by a ghost is ten times, a hundred times more than this knife."

"This batch can be trained again, let's start taking medicine next month."

A pale man on the side laughed evilly: "Did you forget the last time a woman lost control?"

"Women... have inherent weaknesses, and they also need to be trained to get rid of unnecessary thoughts."

The old man thought for a while, nodded and said, "Look for a group of refugees..."

At this moment, a woman in the robes of the town magician cut off a boy's little finger.

She looked at the boy's unresponsive performance, and said, "I said before that men are better for possession than women. I think it's better to give up these women and only use men for training in the future."

The pale man said sullenly, "Girls are cheaper to buy."

The woman snorted coldly: "It's not easy to use, so what if it's cheap?"

The old man thought for a while, then slowly said: "Then what about these women now?"

The woman licked her lips and said with a smile, "Why don't you leave it to me? I just want to recruit a group of new disciples."

After a while, a piece of paper was delivered to the little girl's hand, with a lot of handwriting densely written on it.

A woman's voice followed.

"I know you haven't learned characters."

"But now memorize the words on the paper."

"You only have one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, whoever can write the most words silently will be my disciple."

Hearing these words, the little girl's eyes seemed to fluctuate, and her eyes were fixed on the white paper in her hand.

……

All kinds of memories came one after another, surging in Chu Qiguang's mind.

And with the final disappearance of the phalanx, the ritual has also reached the final step.

At this moment, Lin Lan had already floated in front of Chu Qiguang. Her body ignited spontaneously without fire, and the black flames swept across her whole body in a blink of an eye, as if she was wearing a long black flame dress.

Looking at the unwilling expression on the other party's face, Chu Qiguang reached out and took Lin Lan's right hand: "Welcome to join, Xiao Lan, you will definitely not regret this decision."

Xiao Linlan's voice came: "Brother Chu...will you...force me to do things I don't want to do?"

Chu Qiguang laughed: "Don't worry, my working hours have always been free. As long as you finish the work you should do, you can rest at any time. You will never be forced to work overtime."

"If you encounter a job that you don't want to do, you can hand it over to others. I absolutely respect the choices of all my partners and give them free space to grow."

"I, Chu Qiguang, never force others to do things against his will."

Chu Qiguang held Lin Lan's hands tightly, and said seriously, "Let's fight for everyone's future together."

Feeling the warmth in Chu Qiguang's hands, a blush flashed across Lin Lan's cheeks.

Dalinlan's disdainful voice came from this shy face: "Do you dare to swear?"
