Di Ruiji ignored Hu Tao's words, her dark purple pupils fixed on Hu Tao's eyes, and said, "Look into my eyes."

"Ok?"

Hu Tao looked into Di Ruiji's eyes in confusion, and after just one glance, Hu Tao suddenly felt his body lose weight, and everything around him kept pulling back.

This situation startled her, and before she could react, the abnormal situation was over, but it didn't mean she could relax.

The weather that should have been sunny was suddenly shrouded in darkness, not because of the night, but because the surrounding area was covered by a thick black fog.

Not only that, there is also a terrible strong wind blowing here, and a terrible black mist is filled in the strong wind, and there are very terrible things in the black mist, which is the root cause of all this.

In the end what happened?Hu Tao couldn't figure it out, and then she heard voices from around her, which were wailing to be precise.

She turned her head, and when she saw what was in front of her eyes, her eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

The thing in front of him could no longer be regarded as a human being, his body was gradually dissolved into a liquid like a liquid in this terrible strong wind, not only his flesh, but even his bones were dissolved.

And it's not just him, it's the same for all beings around him.

She understood everything in an instant. There was a similar incident in the records of the Hall of Rebirth. Is the black mist permeating the wind a plague?

"Did you see it?"

Suddenly, in the thick black mist, a clear voice came out. Hu Tao barely opened his eyes and saw the figure walking out of the black mist.

She is Di Ruiji, and she walked out of the black mist maintaining the appearance of a human being, and said: "They are the lives that were taken away by me, and the death energy permeating my body comes from them."

"Now, do you trust me?"

Hu Tao's body shook violently, and in just an instant, everything around her disappeared. When she returned to Liyue's street, everything around her was still the same.

The only difference is that she still has the memory of just now, and before she knew it, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

It's terrible, the scene just now is really terrible, just one glance is enough to make people unforgettable for a lifetime, Hu Tao feels that he will definitely have nightmares at night.

What caused all this was the girl in front of her. Even though she was still the same as before, Hu Tao's view of her had changed.

"You saw it, so do you believe me now?"

Di Ruiji looked at the walnut that hadn't calmed down, and said, "As long as I want, I can make Liyue look like what you see now. Do you still think I'm joking now?"

Hu Tao shook her head, she wasn't sure if Di Ruiji was joking with her, the scene she saw just now was too real, as if she had experienced it herself.

But...why would she let herself see?While Hu Tao was afraid, she was also thinking about the reason why Di Ruiji let herself watch those pictures.

Why did Di Ruiji let himself see those pictures?What is the point of her doing this?

"The work you do is related to the dead, right?"

"That's right, the main business of Jiashengtang is funeral. Generally, services such as sending the deceased to the designated burial place are the responsibility of Jiashengtang."

Di Ruiji nodded, no wonder she saw death, it turned out that it was the reason why she often dealt with corpses.

She came to the bridge and leaned on the guardrail: "Then what is your view on life?"

"Life? You mean the living?"

Di Ruiji shook his head: "It doesn't specifically refer to human beings, but the existence of life. Not only humans, but also birds, rabbits, flowers and plants, in my opinion, are all living beings. It is these colorful lives that make up this A beautiful, colorful world."

Hu Tao carefully looked at Di Ruiji, when a bird suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly on Di Ruiji's shoulder.

Regarding the appearance of the bird, Di Ruiji did not expel it. She stretched out her index finger and stroked the bird's head with gentle movements, obviously she had done it countless times.

The bird enjoyed Di Ruiji's touch very much, and it took the initiative to rub its head against Di Ruiji's fingers, making melodious calls while enjoying it.

This performance made Hu Tao understand that Di Ruiji really liked life, but...in her fantasy, what she saw was her who had taken countless lives.

Why?Does she have an aversion to humans?Do you only have a crush on little lives?Probably not, if so, she wouldn't be walking on the street so naturally.

A contradictory person, Hu Tao put such a label on Di Ruiji, but it has to be said that such Di Ruiji successfully aroused her interest and made her eliminate the fear of Di Ruiji rising.

"Before answering this question, can you answer me, is the reason why you let me see those is to retaliate for what I just said?"

Thinking about it carefully, the words I said at the beginning seemed to have a hint of disrespect for life in it.

It's already very sad when a person dies, and I still say buy one get one free, isn't that not enough.

Di Ruiji was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I don't mean that."

Well, if you say this, it will make people even more suspicious that you did this thing because of this.

Hu Tao smiled wryly. It seemed that in front of Di Ruiji, it would be better not to say such jokes in the future.

"Now, answer my question. What is your view of life?"

"...I don't know how to answer, but I want to say [it is a wonderful thing to be alive]."

"Then why are you promoting your business so aggressively?"

"Business is business. As the head of the hall, if you don't do business, do you have to wait until it goes bankrupt? I don't want the Hall of Death to be smashed in my generation. The reason for this is to eliminate people's stereotypes about death. I hope everyone To see and understand death dialectically."

"A dialectical view and understanding of death?"

"It seems that you don't understand it very well. Come on, let me tell you slowly."

Chapter 54 053: How about walking together?

"I understand that aggressive marketing is trying to arouse people's aversion to death, to make people pay more attention to the time they are alive, and not let them die with regrets."

Di Ruiji and Hu Tao sat on the chairs, holding the snacks they just bought in their hands, and said, "I thought you said that because you disregarded life, but I didn't expect that there were other factors in it."

"Hee hee~ In fact, there is also an element of business expansion in it. After all, Xiangshengtang is also a business, and there is no way to maintain it without customers."

Hu Tao scratched her head. It is not unreasonable for her to be the head of the hall at such a young age. If she hadn't done a good job, the family would not feel relieved to give her the position.

Of course, because of her promotional methods, people often ask Qianyan Army to catch her.

"Using death to make people pay more attention to being alive, trying to be yourself while alive? It's a good idea, but don't say that kind of thing suddenly next time. When I understand the meaning of your words, I almost send you off. On the road."

"Eh? Really?"

"..."

"Don't be silent at this time, at least say something to make me feel at ease!"

"Hey?"

"Hey, what do you mean? It's even more disturbing."

Di Ruiji, who didn't know how to fool people, was not going to lie, so she could only learn from Wendy's way of fooling people, but her method obviously didn't have much effect, but it greatly aggravated Hu Tao's anxiety.

But... how to say it?After this set of topics, Hu Tao was not as nervous as before. The two of them just ate the small snacks made by Liyue and looked at the passers-by on Liyue Street.

"Now, look at that old gentleman."

Hu Tao pointed to the old man walking tremblingly on the other side of the street, leaning on a cane.

"How much time do you think he has in his current situation?"

"...I can't give you an exact number, but he has several different [diseases] in his body. Given his physical condition, even an outbreak of one of them could easily kill him. If it erupts at the same time, the ultimate It will be gone tonight."

"Eh? Can you tell what's wrong with someone from such a distance?"

Hu Tao, who was about to enter the topic, looked at Di Ruiji in surprise. She had heard that a doctor with high medical skills could see, hear and inquire, but they were separated by at least a hundred meters, so it could be seen from such a distance?

"Well, it can be seen. There is no major problem with you, except that you often deal with the dead, which makes you somewhat entangled in your body. You are still young, and you are also the owner of the eye of God, so You'll be fine."

"Huh~ that's good."

"At least not in a short time, I won't know after a while."

"Eh? How long is it after a while?"

"Decades, probably after you get old."

"Don't breathe too much when you talk! You're scary like this, you know?"

Really, I usually scare others by myself, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be scared by others.

However, this person is still a very high-ranking person, and he has no way to remember her revenge. If he takes revenge on her, he will only receive a more terrible [reward] in the future, just like someone specially made pure heart fried slime liquid for her like that.

"So, what do you want to tell me?"

Di Ruiji didn't pick up the stubble of the walnuts, looked at the eaten snacks in his hand, and threw them into the trash can next to him.

"He shouldn't be your guest, right?"

"Well, I met him a few days ago. At that time, I saw that his death was approaching, so I ran to his house to sell the services of the Church of Life, but was severely scolded by his family. If it wasn't for me The identity and the reason for the Eye of God, it is estimated that it will be revealed."

Walnut chewed the food in his mouth, and said: "In fact, they are also very aware of this, and they understand that this old gentleman is about to leave the personnel affairs. But they are reluctant, and so is the old gentleman, so they deliberately do not mention this matter, wanting to deceive yourself in such a way."

"Isn't that good? Forget those troubles, can't you make yourself live a little happier?"

"If that's the case, then it's nothing, but look at him, how can he live happily?"

As Hutao said, the old gentleman's expression was very gloomy, and he should be aware of his situation, but he didn't want to leave, and he still had a lot to commemorate.

Soon he was found by his family. They wanted to take the old man back, but he didn't have much time. If he didn't take advantage of the remaining time, he would have no chance.

This made him upset, his temper became very bad, and he couldn't help scolding his children and wife, but he would never do this before, and it was because he couldn't face his own death that it caused such a thing.

Although he was taken back in the end, the passers-by who watched all heard what the old gentleman said, and when they thought that they would leave this world like him in the future, their original good mood disappeared all of a sudden.

"They are afraid, afraid of death. Of course, there is no one who is not afraid of this thing. But even if they are afraid, so what? A person's life is at most a hundred years, even if they are afraid of death, but this is the end of the road of life. Hopefully, it will eventually arrive here.”

At this time, Hu Tao's expression was serious, not at all the expression of joking and joking just now, and his tone was serious.

"Since this is something that will be faced sooner or later, why not be frank? To understand it and accept it. Then enjoy your life while you are alive, resolve regrets, and reduce the fear and sadness when death comes."

Di Ruiji listened carefully, she was good at bringing death, but her understanding of death was not as deep as that of Walnut.

No, you can't say that, Di Ruiji is different from humans, but Hu Tao's words are very important for her to understand humans.

She is immortal, as long as there is still one cell, she can be reborn, so she can't understand how it feels to die, and she can understand it directly through other people's narration.

"I once had a client who knew that his life was counting down. He was not afraid at all. He even came to the Hall of Death himself to talk about the funeral with him. At that time His children are sad, but he himself is very optimistic. He said that he has lived a long time to see his children grow up, have a happy family, and have a lovely grandson. He can't think of anything better than It's a better life."

"When he finally closed his eyes, his relatives were by his side. He left without any regrets. When he died, he was still smiling. He accepted his own death frankly without the slightest fear."

Having said that, Hu Tao closed her eyes with a smile on her mouth, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"I understand your thoughts, you have taught me a lot."

"You can understand."

Hu Tao nodded with a smile, finished the food in his hand, and looked at Di Ruiji carefully.

She seemed to want to ask something, but because of concerns, she didn't dare to ask directly.

"If you want to ask anything, just ask directly. The eyes are too obvious, but it will be dazzling."

"Just now... the pictures you showed me just now, did they all happen for real?"

Hu Tao paused for a moment, and then said: "You really did that? Spread the plague and let those people die in excruciating pain. Was it really you who did it?"

"...It's me." Di Ruiji lowered his head and nodded.

It's really her?Why?Could it be that she is really a bad person?But...it shouldn't be, it doesn't make sense.

"Why? You... don't seem like the type to do such a thing."

Hu Tao is very clear about the truth that too many words will lead to mistakes, but she saw Di Ruiji's kindness, so she couldn't help asking one more question.

"Can you control time?"

"Eh? Of course not. Don't mention me as a small human, I'm afraid even the emperor can't do this."

Just kidding, time is such a mysterious thing, how can mortals control it.

"Can you control your own aging?"

"Of course not. Didn't I say that birth, old age, sickness and death are out of everyone's control."

Hu Tao was confused, why did Di Ruiji suddenly ask this question?Um?control?Control, control!

"Could it be that you can't..."

"That was a long time ago. At that time, I...couldn't control the plague that permeated my body all the time."

Di Ruiji stretched out his hand to Hu Tao and let her watch the energy ball condensed with various deadly viruses, and she was frightened by just one glance.

The energy ball was quickly taken back, but in just a few seconds, Hu Tao was deeply shocked.

"During the period when I couldn't control my ability, I hid in a certain corner of the desert. There was only me there, so even if the plague spread uncontrollably, no one would have any accidents. But on a certain day, someone suddenly teleported me to In a crowded place, what you saw just now is what happened at that time."
