With undead skills, I can read files infinitely

Chapter 248

The gray-haired, aging Zhang Ziying sat on a chair with empty eyes, as if recalling something.

His voice was very low when he spoke, but he was afraid that Gu An could not hear him clearly, so he obviously raised it a bit, as if he was saving the last bit of energy.

Thinking back to the last time I saw Zhang Ziying, he was still a vigorous young man, but now, he is already an old man who is about to sink into the ground, and he has to be careful even when speaking, saving his energy...

Zhang Ziying recalled the experience at the time, and finally continued: "I was trapped in that abandoned earth pit, and I couldn't find a way out, and after Han Laocai and the others came out of the vagina, I couldn't control them anymore. wanted my life..."

"Fortunately, I have that iron sword. I found that it has a miraculous effect on restraining weirdness. Even though Han Laocai is not really weird, he can still be suppressed."

"So, I used the iron sword to subdue Han Laocai and them, and then I found a way out and left the pit."

When Zhang Ziying said this, he paused for a while, as if he was breathing slowly. He hadn't said so many words at once for a long time, and after finishing speaking in this breath, he continued: "After I left the pit, I went to Hanjia Village. , wanted to find you, but I found that I couldn't get in."

"Outside the Han Family Village, there seemed to be a layer of enchantment blocking the entrance, so I stood outside and shouted, but no one answered after shouting for a long time. I don't know what happened to you, brother, and what was going on inside, so I So I chose to go back to the teacher's gate and go to the celestial master."

"After meeting the Celestial Master, his old man gave me a roulette wheel. I asked the Celestial Master about the function of the roulette wheel. He told me that this is not certain, it can only be determined by fate..."

"And, before that, the Celestial Master had already sent an elder to the Han Family Village, but I didn't meet him. When I went, he had already entered the Han Family Village."

"Then I took the roulette and returned to Han's Village. When I arrived at Han's Village, I didn't know whether it was the effect of the roulette or other reasons. That time, I was not blocked and went in very easily."

"It's just that after I entered the Han Family Village, all I saw were ruins..."

"I tried my best to find traces of you, senior brother, but I searched the entire village and couldn't find it. However, I saw Miss Xiu. She was wearing a red dress, standing by the Yin River, and she didn't know what she was looking at."

"I went to call Miss Xiu, but she didn't seem to hear my call, and instead jumped into the Yin River..."

"I was a little panicked at the time, and I didn't know what to do. Brother, you know that I always listen to you. I don't know what to do when you're not around..."

When Zhang Ziying said this, he smiled and looked up at Gu An. For him, this senior brother, he has not seen for more than 100 years, he is still so young, and he is still the same as before, but the clothes on his body have been changed to the current ones. The look of this era.

Gu An looked at Zhang Ziying, opened his mouth, thought for a while, swallowed the words, and just sighed: "Ziying, you worked hard, I'm sorry..."

Zhang Ziying smiled after hearing this, and raised her white eyebrows: "Senior brother, why did you say sorry to me? I was not as good as others back then, and disrupted the deployment of the senior brother. Although I don't know what happened later, the senior brother was not there when I went, and Miss Xiu jumped into the river. , all of this is bad, blame me..."

Gu An was speechless suddenly, and then said: "I don't blame you, I'm too weak. Fortunately, you weren't there, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see you now."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziying glanced at Gu An: "Listening to what senior brother said, that Yinhe should be far more powerful than what senior brother imagined..."

Gu An nodded, he couldn't tell his secrets, so he could only say: "Well... I escaped everything back then, but the price was too high, because I lost Xiuxiu..."

Zhang Ziying looked behind Gu An, Han Xiuxiu was standing there, but her condition was not right.

At the beginning, Zhang Ziying had already noticed this, but he didn't say anything, he knew that something bad must have happened, and Miss Xiu became like this.

After being silent for a while, he said again: "Brother, when I was in the Yin River, I saw Miss Xiu jumping into the river. I didn't know what to do when suddenly bursts of black mist appeared in the Yin River. The weirdness behind the Yinmen, they swarmed out, seeming to want to leave the Han Family Village."

"I know very well that if these weirdnesses go outside, it will inevitably lead to disaster, so in a hurry, I threw it over like a roulette given by a celestial master, trying to suppress them back."

"However, not only did the roulette not have the suppressive effect, but it left the village with those strange things, so I chased them all the way."

"Fortunately, the roulette and those weird speeds are not too fast. I am proficient in the technique of tracking weirdness, and finally found this place, which is the current neighborhood..."

"At that time, this place was not a residential area, and there was no human habitation. It was just an ordinary wasteland, and no one cared about it. The roulette and those weird things also disappeared here."

"After I searched to no avail, I had no choice but to settle down in a nearby, inhabited place, and then I have been guarding here. At the beginning of the period, I came to see it every few days, and then it became once a month. , and in the end, it became once a year..."

"In this spare time, I traveled all over the world, trying to find another way to deal with Yinhe. After all, I didn't know that the weirdness that came out was not a foreshadowing."

"In the middle of this journey, I went back to the master's gate a few times. At first, when the celestial master was still alive, everything in the master's gate was normal. Then one day, the celestial master passed away. I felt that the whole master's gate seemed to be weird... "

"My instinct told myself that I should not go to Longhu Mountain, so I didn't go to Longhu Mountain again during this period, and continued to travel north and south."

"Year after year, I thought that after touching that iron sword, my body seemed to have undergone some changes. Even though I got older, the blood in my body was still full of vitality like a young man. I found that I seemed to be older than other people. Slow down... Maybe this is the secret of longevity that Han Laocai pursued back then...

Later, I came here again, but when I came, I found that a residential area had been built here, because after that, I had come here at random, as soon as a year, as slow as three years..."

"I thought that the roulette and those weird things were no longer here. I was mistaken at the beginning, and this place is deserted, so I didn't pay attention to this place. It was just a habit to come back and see..."

"But when I saw that after the completion of the community, residents have already moved in, I was still very panicked, I'm afraid it was a foreshadowing left in the past."

"So, I stayed around the neighborhood for a long time, and I still didn't see anything weird. I was relieved at that time, and decided not to come again..."

"However, a strange situation happened at this time. The community exploded and caught fire, and none of the residents inside escaped..."

"I remember the night when the incident happened, the neighborhood was full of ghosts. I broke in at that time, but I was trapped here, and it has continued to this day..."

At the end of Zhang Ziying's speech, her voice became weaker and weaker. I don't know if it was because of being alone for a long time that she became a little depressed, or because she lost her strength.

Gu An looked at him and sighed softly: "Didn't you try to leave all these years?"

Zhang Ziying thought for a while, and said: "At first I thought about atonement, I felt that all this was caused by me, I wanted to stay here to atone for my sins, but how many people can bear the loneliness... I finally I can't bear it anymore, I want to go back to the teacher's gate, I want to see the changes in Longhu Mountain..."

"But after reaching the first floor, I found that I could no longer leave here... Only then did I realize that I was already in a state of half-dead, suspended animation..."

"I can only continue to stay in the building. I thought I would be lonely until I die of old age, but who knew that in this building, weirdness began to occur frequently, and the source is on the No.11 floor..."

"At that time, I thought, if I die of old age, I might as well fight Weird to the death, so I sat here and killed Weird with the three-foot sword in my hand."

"The rewards of going all over the world and getting the iron sword back then made it easy for me to face these weird things..."

"Easy...like this..."

When Zhang Ziying said this, his tone paused, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

But Gu An knew that this sharp and murderous gaze was not aimed at him.

At this moment, Zhang Ziying's hand that had been holding the sword suddenly moved.

He swung his sword directly towards the blank place on the right side.

The technique of swinging the sword is very familiar, obviously the result of thousands of years of practice.

And in that blank place, while Zhang Ziying swung his sword, Gu An saw that a wisp of black mist appeared out of thin air, gradually forming normally, as if it was about to evolve into a monster...

However, Zhang Ziying's sword had arrived when it was just beginning to take shape.

When one fell, the black mist instantly dissipated without a trace.

And Zhang Ziying also slowly retracted at this time, the hand holding the sword has been holding the hilt, drooping slightly, and the tip of the sword is close to the ground, which is very conspicuous.

Gu An knew that according to Zhang Ziying's proficiency just now, he had killed these strange things here a lot.

However, none of this made Gu An forget what he wanted to ask.

Looking at Zhang Ziying, he said softly, "Brother, what do you mean by suspended animation?"

Zhang Ziying smiled, as if looking away: "Brother, when he first came, he must have seen a black shadow. That black shadow looked weird, but in fact, it was one with me..."

Gu An was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that the black shadow had called him senior brother just now, and seemed to understand something vaguely.

Zhang Ziying continued to explain: "My situation is a bit special. I have already told my brother before. Because of the iron sword and staying here for a long time, I have some mental problems..."

"That black shadow, senior brother, can be understood as my split body... a kind of soul split body, the human body has three souls and seven souls, that can be counted as one of my souls..."

"This soul is the product of my loneliness. It represents the despair and loneliness that I couldn't leave when I stayed here..."

"My second soul, brother should have seen it too... You just came here after chasing Jiang Qiang... Jiang Qiang has my second soul, which is resentment and ambition..."

"That was the situation I was unwilling to face, so evil thoughts arose in my heart, and I even thought about taking it for use. My soul, I somehow got in touch with Jiang Qiang, and there should have been a deal between the two. Might have been fused together..."

"As for myself, senior brother can be regarded as the only remaining kind soul..."

"Maybe I still have a little responsibility, a little conscience, I have been guarding here, I didn't want to change anything in the past, just like a normal person, happy and sad, and I will be happy for a long time after seeing my brother..."

"I will still miss every bit of the past..."

Gu An listened silently to Zhang Ziying's narration, and it was hard to imagine that a person he was very familiar with would become like this in a short period of time, although in reality it has been a hundred years...

But seeing Zhang Ziying's current appearance, Gu An still felt very uncomfortable. Looking at Zhang Ziying, he said softly, "What can I help you with?"

Zhang Ziying thought about it after hearing this, and then smiled freely: "At first, I wanted to say no, but now, it seems that there really is..."

Gu An was taken aback, hearing Zhang Ziying's tone, could he help him find his soul back?
Zhang Ziying looked at Gu An, and said softly, "Brother, please help me die..."

Speechless, silent...

Gu An didn't expect Zhang Ziying to say such a word.

Looking at Zhang Ziying's optimistic face, Gu An shook his head: "Didn't you say that you thought the reason for the iron sword, plus the fact that the three souls on your body were scattered, and you were in a state of suspended animation, in a sense, you don't have to eat or drink. Like weird, you shouldn't die..."

Zhang Ziying said with a smile: "Senior brother, it's a fake death after all... It's still inseparable from the word death, so I will die in the end. It's just because of my special body that I can last longer than ordinary people... Maybe it's because of my old age. God is so pitiful, let me hold on for a while longer, so I met senior brother..."

"I used to be worried. I was worried that after I died, I would not be able to tell outsiders about the situation here. I was going to use my last strength to complete the final mural, and I wanted to give more hints to those who come in later..."

"Now it seems that there is no need. The senior brother is here, so there must be a solution. With the senior brother here, there is nothing that cannot be solved."

Zhang Ziying looked at Gu An, under the white-haired face, the words he said were like when that young man looked at Gu An in Hanjia Village, with admiration and anticipation deep in his eyes.

Just like what he said now, in Zhang Ziying's mind, senior brother Gu An is omnipotent...

The matter of the year was not resolved, and it was only because of his delay that the accident happened. All of this was his reason, not the problem of the senior brother.

Gu An heard Zhang Ziying say that this matter cannot be resolved, which also means that he will die eventually, and judging by his current state, the deadline is obviously approaching...
