Weird Talker

Chapter 128 Soul and Water
There is endless babbling on the stage, and the river is spreading under the stage.

The yellow moon hangs in the night sky, shedding a miserable silvery white.

Everyone is still trapped in the libretto of the ghost on the stage.

Qin Manjiang looked at the higher and higher river water. At this moment, it was submerged to the knees, and the knees were all wet, soaked into soft paper.

Mei Sijun's words shocked Qin Manjiang greatly. The theater building stood dark in the water, and the surrounding paper figurines were silent, as if in this world, only the ghosts on the stage and their audience were left.

"I remembered many things." Mei Sijun said suddenly.

He looked at Qin Manjiang, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense: "I really saw you."

"Meet me?" Qin Manjiang looked at him puzzled.

Mei Sijun patted his head vigorously, looked at Qin Manjiang carefully, and finally said firmly: "Yes, it is you."

"Professor Jiang."

After hearing the word "Professor Jiang", Qin Manjiang was startled, his heart seemed to stop beating at this moment, and a pair of sharp eyes flashed in his mind.

Qin Manjiang felt his head hurt like a needle prick, he subconsciously covered his heart, his chest kept rising and falling, he could feel a strange force preventing him from knowing about "Professor Jiang", but At this moment... he is the soul!
"Qin Manjiang"'s body couldn't force him to faint, nor would he turn a blind eye to the "keyword" of "professor" like he did on the way to Xianyang Village before.

At this moment, Qin Manjiang can completely control himself, he is free.

At least for now.

"Professor Jiang?" Qin Manjiang didn't even care about the river water on his lap, and immediately asked: "Who is he? Where have you seen him?"

Mei Sijun is also very distressed at this moment, he has just received a lot of memories, Li Yunxiu, who is one body and two souls, the main soul of the female side will not die, and his male side will continue to reincarnate.

And the man named "Professor Jiang" that suddenly appeared in his mind just now was the person he met in the ghost talk game during the previous reincarnation process.

But these memories are all fragmented. He only knows that a certain "self" has partnered with "Professor Jiang".

More, but can't remember.

He looked at Qin Manjiang, shook his head and said: "I said, I am Mei Sijun, although the last 'I' was also me, but his memory has only fragments left because of the death of his predecessor, I can't answer your question, but ..."

"But what?" Qin Manjiang had never felt that the truth was so close to him.

That Professor Jiang, that name that makes my heart throb.

it's that person...

"It is generally believed that the physical body is a container, and the soul is like the water in the container. When the container is destroyed, the water will be lost."

Mei Sijun looked at him and said, "You are so smart, if you were asked to find a way to keep the water from running out, what would you do?"

Qin Manjiang said without hesitation: "Change a new container, or change the state of the water."

Mei Sijun nodded: "You are indeed very smart. This point of view is also valid when replaced with the relationship between soul and body."

"Water has no shape, and water is flowing, so it can be poured into different containers." Mei Sijun bent down to pick up some river water, and the cold river water flowed away from between his fingers.

"The shape of water depends on the shape of the container that holds it." Mei Sijun looked at Qin Manjiang, "The same is true for the soul. If the soul and the body are both newborn and grow together, they will naturally fit very well."

"As long as you put the same water into the same container, you can create exactly the same people."

Mei Sijun's voice was not loud, but it was deafening in Qin Manjiang's ears.

He suddenly discovered that it seemed more appropriate to call the body named "Qin Manjiang" a container.

Because he can often feel the limitations of the body.

Limit his emotional expression, limit his ability to grow, and even limit his daily routine.

That is a container that has been formulated!
And I...could it be the...water that was poured into the container?

"And I am the second type." Mei Sijun pointed to himself.

"If water doesn't want to be lost, if it wants to continue to exist out of the container, it can only change its state, for example——to become ice."

"The same is true for the soul. Because of Yuchan's relationship, Li Yunxiu's soul has undergone fundamental changes from normal souls. She has become a non-human and non-ghost existence, possessing part of the consciousness of a human and part of the ability of a ghost. "When Mei Sijun talked about Li Yunxiu, it was as if she was referring to a stranger, "Because I and her are involved in one body and two souls, her soul will not dissipate, and I will not dissipate. I can only reincarnate forever."

"But... this kind of water, without the protection of the container, will be melted by the scorching sun even if it turns into ice."

"Soul, too. Such a soul has a fatal weakness."

Mei Sijun turned his head to look at the ghost singing on the stage, with an extremely calm expression.

The river water has spread to the waist, and everyone's soaked parts have turned into paper.

"Now, do you understand?"

Mei Sijun spoke very softly,

"In terms of how fierce this strange story is, it cannot be the ultimate game at all, but every time it appears, there must be the existence of 'I', because 'I' is the source of this strange talk. The end of the strange story, because 'I' fell into the state of reincarnation of immortality, and it has never been able to end. How can a strange story that has not ended in the first round be cleared?"

"Qin Manjiang..." Mei Sijun looked at him with a complex expression, the emotion in his eyes was the same as that of the river, and finally there were waves, "Do you know what to do?"

Qin Manjiang is still immersed in his own world.

Mei Sijun's explanation of the relationship between the soul and the body, and the assumption of how to make the soul immortal, greatly shaken Qin Manjiang's self-cognition.

When "Professor Jiang" was mentioned before, those sharp eyes flashed in my mind.

Those were indeed his eyes...but that wasn't his expression.

Qin Manjiang has never had such eyes... firm, wise, and radiant.

It seems to be able to see through a person's heart at once, and it can also see the future of a thing.

Hearing Mei Sijun calling himself, Qin Manjiang finally put aside those important "random thoughts" for the time being.

He also looked at Mei Sijun.

This scion of the Liyuan family has an extremely peaceful expression at the moment.

He looked up at the moon, and the wind on the river was cold and damp, blowing his hair.

No matter Mei Sijun, Lin Yanqing, or Li Yunxiu.

The three of them are all stunning in the world.

Mei Sijun took a deep breath and said, "The outdated drama script should indeed be swept into the pile of old papers."

Qin Manjiang's expression was complicated. How could he not know how to pass this "strange talk"?

The ancient Li Yunxiu was selected by Guai Tan for the first time, which triggered the "Huangquan Opera".

And the Huangquan opera at that time was not the ultimate game now, it was just an old-fashioned one in which the leader Zhao Qigong accidentally discovered the stone tomb at the bottom of the well and secretly took five jade cicadas out of greed, which caused the sealed ghost to escape again. s story.

Li Yunxiu retrieved the five jade cicadas and put them back into the sarcophagus to end them.

However, human desire is extremely amazing.

Zhao Qigong discovered the soul-suppressing function of Yuchan, so he used Yuchan as a living person.

He locked his soul in his body. Although he would never die again, the vitality of his body would disappear. He kept absorbing the flesh and blood of other people in the troupe to replenish his vitality. He completely became A monster that is neither human nor ghost.

And Li Yunxiu, who was summoned, also discovered this secret. The time limit is approaching, and she has no way to find all five jade cicadas, and she doesn't want to become a monster like Zhao Qigong, who is neither human nor ghost.

She put the only jade cicada she found in her mouth and threw herself into the well.

She is dead.

But just as she had expected, her soul did not dissipate, nor did she become unconscious, leaving only a purely malicious ghost.

And the other half of her soul, at the moment of physical death, fell into reincarnation.

Li Yunxiu, caught in a state of eternal reincarnation, without life or death, made [Huangquan Opera] an unending game.

Neither succeeded nor failed.

The reincarnated Lin Yanqing, as well as other people in the future, are constantly coming to end this [Huangquan Opera] in the arrangement of the strange talk.

But what they did was useless, the first game was not settled, and everything that followed was just a complete dead end.

In this way, [Huangquan Opera] has become an endlessly accumulated ultimate game that cannot be cleared.

until today.

Time has come to modern times, to the reincarnation of Mei Sijun.

There was some confusion in his eyes.

"Qin Manjiang, if one day you find out that you are Professor Jiang, what will you do?"

"Are you... still you?"
