An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

However... an hour or two hours passed by them sitting on the bench, but there was still no movement.

"Is that ghost really here?" Yulia complained while shaving her nails with the tip of a sword in boredom.

Seeing the child, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's even good to let such a leisurely afternoon pass by in such a sunny and sunny afternoon.

She noticed a little boy holding a balloon in the distance, and waved to her with a smile.

Seeing this, Zizi couldn't help but smile, and waved at the boy in response.

The child is really lively, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the child.

Snapped!

The balloon that rose into the sky burst suddenly, and the little boy who was smiling and waving at her just now, his neck and limbs suddenly elongated endlessly, his eyes were huge and hollow, and suddenly ran towards them at high speed!

"Hey hey hey hey!!!!!!"

The huge change brought about by the sudden change made Jianzi scream out of shock, while Yulia next to him screamed in panic and pointed the ace throwing knife at the ghost boy who rushed over!

But she couldn't even swing it even once, her hands were stiff and cold, and the speed at which the ghost approached even spanned a distance of tens of meters in the blink of an eye.

No, I'm going to die! ! !

At the moment when only this kind of thought remained in the hearts of the two girls, accompanied by four light gunshots, four pitch-black pollution warheads directly hit the ghost boy's body.

The boy was instantly shattered by the powerful propulsion and the resentful soul fragments in the contaminated warhead, and his body like a noodle man seemed to be shattered just like that!

But in an instant, his shattered body was naturally repaired under the black aura lingering around him, and he spat out the bullet completely, as if he hadn't received any damage.

"Sure enough, real ghosts are much more difficult to deal with than these useless fragments..."

Yun Juan held the malfeasance in one hand, and twirled the dark green hook lock with the other, looking at the ghost boy and said leisurely.

"Or, is this a specialty of this world?"

An extremely ear-piercing scream came from the ghost boy's mouth, and that elongated noodle man-like body seemed to teleport towards Yun Juan's face!

But he just threw the hook lock of the sickle in his hand, Thresh's ecstasy sickle sank into the boy's body like a living thing, binding him so that he couldn't move.

He screamed and struggled crazily like a fish caught on the shore. This scene made Jianzi terrified. This was the first time she saw a ghost who was tied up by Yunjuan and could resist.

"This kid seems to have caught a lot of fish here."

Yunjuan conjured up two throwing knives and threw them out, piercing into the ghost boy's body. Amidst his piercing screams, the restrained shape of the cup became even more terrifying!

But this is instead a testament to his weakness.

"Do you know what is the biggest difference between ghosts and wraiths? Other than intelligence." Yun Juan looked at the pale-faced girls hugging each other and trembling, and asked a question kindly

"That is, the more powerful the ghost, the easier it is for people to see, and the more powerful the wraith, the harder it is for people to see."

Yun Juan's kind explanation made the expressions of the two girls even worse.

The world belonging to the spirit body is not a simple relationship between the victim and the victim, and the directions of the two types of resentful spirits and souls that are distinguished are also completely different.

Yunjuan slowly sliced ​​open the ghost boy's head, and under the twisted head formed by the tumbling wraith, he pushed his glasses and explained to the two girls gently and kindly.

"For ghosts with relatively complete self-awareness, they cannot simply devour other wraiths to grow themselves, because too much resentment will only degrade their sanity into something similar to those wraiths. What they want to devour Yes, it must be more spiritual, a complete life of 'spirit' and 'soul', that is to say, the evolution direction of ghosts will inevitably continue to try so that ordinary people can see their efforts."

"Wraiths, they are the opposite. They didn't get more 'souls' when they died. So they are irrational like a group of wild beasts. The superior among them will try to devour other wraiths, Filling themselves with their grievances. And the very few of them in the process get another interesting energy out of pure grievances—I call them curses."

A ball of curse power the size of a ping-pong ball emerged between Yunjuan's fingers. Seeing this, Jianzi and Yulia immediately felt a strong sense of physical discomfort, and their faces were extremely pale!

"Do you know why these ghosts can only hurt you if you respond to them?" Yunjuan continued to do teaching work with a smile.

"Because of this special curse, they gave the wraith the power to directly interfere with life. This is a kind of 'contract' and a 'natural phenomenon', or in other words, a kind of 'strangeness'"

"Simple vengeful spirits will become such a natural phenomenon after they are continuously devoured and grown. They will mechanically crush other vengeful spirits, devour them, and decompose them, just like the decomposers in nature."

Jianzi suddenly thought of the monster she had seen that would devour resentful spirits in line. If it was just like what Yun Juan said, it was a natural phenomenon.

"But, this is just a normal situation." Yunjuan said with a smile after grinding the boy's ghost into spiritual matter and absorbing it into the lantern.

"These cursed wraiths may also be combined with ghosts by coincidence. The source of the curse power of ghosts is not to devour life, but often comes from... legends."

"It's like the urban ghost stories in your legends, the girl with the gap, the Hanako in the toilet, and the thirteenth staircase. Maybe it's just a boring story at first, but as long as the ghosts get the curse of your emotional overflow from it, they will have a way to follow the legend. The behavior pattern to grow, and then as long as they are fused with the curse of a sufficient amount of wraiths, they will become 'real', a 'phenomenon' that exists in reality and can be observed by everyone."

"Such an existence, I call it weird."

8. The world I want to witness

"vomit!!!!"

Unable to control the huge fear in her heart and the sense of separation brought about by the gap, Yulia vomited out on the spot.

The reality is far from being as pure and simple as she thought. A half-talented person like her is actually the best bait for those secrets.

Yun Juan's words revealed the most terrifying truth in this world. Even if those rumors and frightening legends are proved to be false, as long as the conditions are right, he will become true.

Those countless terrifying legends that make people sleepless at night will become the most terrifying reality. From the moment you know the truth of the world, your family, school, and even the streets and alleys you pass by will all become the most terrifying reality. It seems that there will be strange things that are hungry and eager to hunt.

"Knowing so much, do you still desire to get in touch with this world further?"

Yunjuan squatted halfway in front of Yulia, who was vomited in a daze, and the dark pupils under the plain mirror showed no emotion

"You don't even really see the worst and darkest side of this world, do you? Do you think this ghost is amazing?"

"Do you know what kind of evil breeds in the filthiest place in this city? Do you know how deep and helpless people's resentment and powerlessness are? The world you thought was never as wonderful as you imagined. "

Longing is the feeling farthest from understanding.

"...Then what will happen to the ghost in the end?"

The pale-faced beautiful girl Miko seemed to have thought of something, looked at Yunjuan and asked in an uneasy and trembling tone

"...You want to say what will happen to your father?"

Seeing through Jianzi's thoughts, Yunjuan pushed his glasses and said lightly

"I do not know."

"I'm not a god who knows everything. I'm just a person who explores the unknown road. Your father's ghost stayed in your home because of his obsession and became an earth-bound spirit. His mind and soul are quite intact, but just now Because of this, he may be closer to madness."

Why do ghosts hunt for the living?Like this kid, they are desperate to feel alive.

The closer one's sanity is to completeness, the more one understands how painful this feeling of half-body immortality is.There are only purely obsessed wraiths left, and the integrity of ghosts is the root of their pain.

"It's sad to say this, but if you can't find a way to make your father 'become a Buddha', then it's probably only a matter of time before he becomes this thing."

Yunjuan said lightly

"Help me, please..." Jianzi's teary eyes, I pleaded while holding onto Yunjuan's clothes

"I can't help you now." Yunjuan smiled and shook Jianzi away.

"The direction of my research and the direction of making your father ascend to heaven are two different directions. Although I am happy to do good things, but now I am powerless."

"The direction of my research has never been how to purify ghosts, but how to make ghosts more accurately and directly become... weird."

"There are some things you have to work hard on your own. I can teach you knowledge and help you, but the direction of this effort depends on your own ability."

Yun Juan's understatement, but it was like a cold wind blowing past the two girls.

"Why are you researching this?" Yulia raised her head abruptly and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

?""this one?Because I want to do something that I used to really want to do. "Yun Juan looked at the sky and said softly.

"I want to know what it would be like in a world where retribution really exists. I want to know what it would be like in a world where even the humblest ants can use their lives to bring down the emperor."

He lowered his head, looked at the two girls and smiled.

"All men are created equal. This inspiring sentence was uttered by the capitalists. But at that time, the people in their hearts were only themselves and the nobles. Common people? In their eyes, they were never equal."

"Is there really a government in this world that can make everyone equal? ​​Society is a pyramid, and any system is like this, because of selfish desires, because of instinctive comparisons, because the superior people always want to maintain themselves superior status remains unchanged..."

"Isn't this the case in your country? A doctor's son will always be a doctor, a politician's son will always be a politician, and a ramen seller will always be a ramen seller."

"Do you think this is a good thing to be consistent? But this is just the class solidification that will occur in every era. Maybe when there is a point of oppression, there will be a force that breaks everything, but I'm afraid it will only be a cycle."

"Human beings will always repeat the same mistakes, and as long as there are privileges, there will always be corruption, and there will always be oppression and plunder."

Yun Juan looked at the two girls and said regretfully

"My words may be too complicated for you, but this is what I just want to do. I want to try to create a person, even if it is someone who lives in a magnificent palace and treats human life like an ant, A world that will also be punished by an ant they oppress. I want to see if such a world will make me feel more... clean."

"Do you want to help those ghosts... help them kill?" Yulia asked in disbelief

In her superficial understanding limited to comics, psychics should protect humans against evil spirits.However, Yunjuan is not such a person.

What he protects is never human beings, but justice, or what he thinks is fair.

Also, if people all become the same thing after death, why shouldn't ghosts count as humans?

Since a person can only die once, and since there can only be one soul, Yunjuan just hopes to create an equal exchange mechanism on the only fairness in this world.

"What I want to do is the most basic fairness. Everyone has one life. In this case, it is reasonable to exchange one life for another, isn't it?"

"You may accuse me of being a slave to a tiger, that I will kill a lot of people - I admit it, but I am firm in what I do, and I am firm in what I want to do."

Yun Juan stood up, he knew that his words were too complicated for these two girls to understand.

He came into this world, he witnessed ghosts, he analyzed death, he understood the strange.

He wanted to do something he wanted to do a long time ago.

If human policing human beings is doomed to privilege and corruption, if the world is doomed to be superior from top to bottom, then what if there is another power beyond human beings to draw a new bottom line?

A person who is oppressed to the point of despair can exchange his life for that superior life, regardless of money or social status, but exchange his life for a life.

If this is the case, can those unscrupulous people be more tolerant to those they step into the mud?

He just wanted to see if such a cursed world would become more beautiful?

A world about curses and evil spirits is terrifying, but watching those horror movies, Yunjuan also thinks that there is such a world where people’s resentment and unwillingness can be transformed into wealth and social status, so at least, in despair Those who are crawling in the abyss will also get a chance for revenge.

Those who have been trampled on in life, despised in personality, abused in life, and are not even allowed to speak their own voices...

He just wanted to give these people the ability to use their lives in exchange for their lives.

Yunjuan doesn't know whether what he does can achieve good results, he is not a revolutionary, he does not have the courage and ability to change the world, what he can do...

It was just another hard step on the accelerator in a car that was rushing downhill crazily.

He didn't stop any longer. After separating the existence of the curse, Yotsuya Miko's research value to him has been greatly reduced.

He will help Jianzi eliminate the evil spirits around him as promised, and he will also give her the power to resist, or wait until everything is done, and expel her this "gift" that makes her extremely painful.

The transaction is fair, at least that's what Yunjuan thinks is fair.

He turned around and disappeared into the crowd, looked at Yotsuya Miko who was leaving from his back, lowered his head, and clenched his little hands slightly.

"Jianzi, are you back?"

"Jianzi, do you still not eat green peppers? This is not acceptable, it is not good for your health!"

"Meet the child..."

On the dining table of a family of three, there is another figure, a figure that only Jianzi can see.

She raised her head, and that gentle and ordinary figure just sat where he had been before his death, looking at her family tenderly.

Her father, the dead... ghost.

Could it be that one day, her father will also become those terrible and mournful undead?

Could it be that one day her father would start hunting the souls of the living, just to get back to what it felt like to be alive?

Yunjuan's words kept echoing in Jianzi's mind. It was an answer made by an expert and a cold third-party perspective, which was most inclined to the standard answer.

Yunjuan disappeared from her life because she no longer had the value of special research materials.But he still left a notebook as a last gift to Jianzi.

The story between her and him doesn't have the romantic plots in those shoujo manga. Yunjuan is an efficient person, or should he be called cold?

He will not engage in unnecessary transfer student plots, and will not waste time dealing with Jianzi to increase his goodwill. He and this girl have what they need, but when there is no need to continue, he just withdraws.

This notebook can be regarded as the only product left by him that can prove that he still has some intersection with Jianzi.

Yulia also stopped pestering Jianzi. This self-righteous girl has seen the truth of a part of the world. Maybe she gave up her dream of having a second illness, of course, maybe.

Boys and girls of this age are more or less self-righteous, thinking that the world revolves around him, and always think that they can change the world, rather than being changed by the world.

If you see a piece of news, you think the world is ugly and not worthy of nostalgia. After eating a few bowls of the dark side, you feel that human beings are hopeless...

In short, in the notes that Yunjuan left for Jianzi, there is his most straightforward and cruel evaluation of ghosts and Jianzi's father.
