Cheng Lin clenched his fists, looking at me as if refusing to admit defeat.

I avoided his gaze, "Your mother is still the ghost king, right? She is both a monster and a ghost king..."

"I will not give up."

I glanced at Cheng Lin, "Oh. I understand."

He suddenly became discouraged, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes, "You are right. She is both a monster and a ghost king."

Such a fusion is probably rare, and may well be the only example.

Tang Yu did not become the Ghost King.

This may be because when Tang Yu changed, five years ago, the integration of the two worlds was not that deep.

"What happened to the thousand-year-old Yangshan Mountain? Isn't it because of you?" Qin Shu asked.

Cheng Lin didn't open his eyes and replied half-heartedly: "I don't know. It's almost the same as my amnesia. That guy is too lazy to make up stories for everyone, and he is too lazy to create the history of Yangshan. This place, and this place Out of place and different from the original..."

"Toy Town." I said, "Have you heard of it?"

"Um?"

"Also called Morristown." I continued to add.

Cheng Lin thought about it, and Qin Shu also put on a thoughtful expression.

"Find someone here to ask." I looked out the door.

Cheng Lin took out his mobile phone and was about to dial a number when he stopped.

"You mean, Toy Town...the city where there is a kid called the Ghost King who likes to make people into dolls?" Cheng Lin asked.

I nodded.

Cheng Lin suddenly realized, "That place... is somewhat similar to Yangshan. However, there are many legends about that place. It is not called Toy Town or Morris Town, it is called Doll Town. There are many legends. When I looked up history, I found that... ..." As he spoke, his face turned gloomy.

"That place has moved to the real world." I said.

In order to conform to the common sense of the real world and make people in the real world not feel out of place, the history of Toy Town is very detailed and even rich.

That was not a change caused by Slender Man’s abilities, nor was it my abilities at work.

It was an elaborate testing ground.

My and Slender Man's abilities may also be part of the experiment.

Reality and fiction are indistinguishable.

The boundaries between the two worlds have become blurred.

I was confused for a moment.

If I really turned back time in the real world to a long, long time ago, would my soul, the souls of my family and friends, still be the same as they are now? Maybe some of them belong to this future world.

I shudder a little when I think of this.

Maybe I reversed the time in the real world, and when everything happened to this point in time, things and people had changed... Or, worse, everything became strange and turned into a whole new world.

Qin Shu and Cheng Lin seemed to be thinking about me together. Both of them were silent and confused.

This is confusion about oneself.

"You mean, maybe we originally belonged here?" Qin Shu asked.

I don't know how to answer Qin Shu's question.

I can't deny this possibility.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Ye Qing's soul must belong to the real world. The soul of Mr. Yang, the costume ghost, belongs to this future world.

Any more, I don’t know.

People with abilities can become ordinary people, and ordinary people can move from the real world to the future world and vice versa. It is too difficult to trace the source.

Cheng Lin breathed out, "Never mind that. Now... I just want my mother to return to normal." He looked at me, "You can't help it, right?"

"No."

Cheng Lin was silent for a while, "What do you want when you come here?"

"I'm just curious and want to know some information." I answered honestly, "Is there an entrance or exit to a different space here?"

Cheng Lin shook his head, "I didn't see it. After coming here, those two black holes disappeared."

"Haven't appeared again? Where are the other places?" I asked.

Cheng Lin still shook his head, "I want to go back too. I can't."

"Where are you from?" Qin Shu asked me, "Minqing... Minqing still has one left, right?"

"Well, that's where I came from." I still remember the general direction.

That was originally my first choice.

It's just that the opening time of the entrance to the different space is uncertain, so it's not easy to seize the opportunity.

The right time, the right place, the right people...

I felt the ability inside my body and looked at the chains on my body.

The direction in which the chain extends has changed slightly.

Another entrance and exit has been opened, but the distance is probably very far.

"For the time being, this is all we can do. Stay in one place..." I was a little helpless.

"I'll take you out." Cheng Lin stood up.

"By the way. Have you sensed any changes in the emotions of the people here?" I suddenly asked, "It's about their attitude towards our place and their understanding of it."

"There is no such situation in Yangshan." Cheng Lin replied.

I'm a little disappointed, but when I think about it, it makes sense.

The people here are all from the real world, and their memories have been tampered with. Let alone such complex emotions, their emotions themselves are flawed. They are too twisted to be completely normal. When the God of the future world dealt with them again, his methods were rough. A "Millennium Yangshan" could even give an explanation to this sudden place and this group of people who suddenly appeared.

God in the future world may not want to be so hasty. However, that time was not coincidental. It has so much to do, and a testing ground is enough. It quickly brainwashed the entire real world, which was a huge drain.

"I hope it's soon..." I murmured.

"What did you say?" Cheng Lin turned to look at me.

"nothing."

I was a little shaken.

This is not a good sign.

Such a state of mind will affect my abilities.

I clenched my fists as memories of family and friends came to mind.

That diary was destroyed by me.

I also destroyed all my escape routes.

Can't be wrong.

If there was a mistake, Ye Qing...how could Ye Qing, who had been here before, choose to implement this plan?

But Ye Qing's soul definitely belongs to the real world...

The more I think about it, the more my ideas go astray.

My face darkened, and my mood slowly settled down.

"Where are you going next?" Cheng Lin asked.

It was already dark outside, and before I knew it, the sun had set.

"That direction." I glanced around and pointed in the direction.

Relying on Nangong Yao's ability, I won't have a black eye. Looking at some scenery in the distance, I can probably confirm the direction.

"There...there used to be a city there. I heard the movement of monsters before. Maybe it's gone." Cheng Lin analyzed.

"Further further, past the ruins. When I got here, what I saw was wilderness." I said.

Cheng Lin was stunned, "The wilderness... the wilderness... I have heard that it is a high-risk place. It has been said before that places with opportunities are also accompanied by high risks. Monsters always like to appear in that kind of place. place."

My expression changed and I thought of a scene I had seen before.

To explain, ordinary people have nine circles of chains and an extended chain. From a figurative understanding, they are held by God in their hands, so God can control them and turn them into monsters. There are ten circles of chains on people with abilities. They have superpowers, are not controlled by God, and will not turn into monsters. But after the tenth circle of chains is broken, the ability user becomes an ordinary person.

Ghosts, living people, and ghost kings are another state.

Just like humans and cats, they are both animals, but different species; when humans die, they are corpses, and when cats die, they are also corpses. If they can become ghosts, they will all become ghosts.

People with abilities are the same as ordinary people. They can become ghosts when they die. This is the status. After becoming a ghost, a person with abilities will not become a monster, but an ordinary person will still become a monster. But after switching from a person with abilities (ghost) to an ordinary person (ghost), he can become a monster.

The Ghost King is another additional state. When the two worlds are not completely integrated, there will be a conflict with the attribute of "ability user".

So the tenth chain on Cheng Lin's mother was destroyed by the ghost king's state, and she turned into a monster.
