"Big bad guy!" Mencet jumped up, kicked me again, and quickly squatted back down.

I was really speechless, and after a while, I sighed and asked, "Are you okay? I have something to ask you, can we talk about it?"

Mensit glanced at me, stood up, straightened her skirt, and said, "Come with me."

She shook her head and walked forward proudly, but she walked with a slight limp.

I didn't care about her attitude either.

She was at least willing to talk to me, and she seemed to be very talkative, which was much better than those grim reapers and demon consciousness who ignored me.

Maybe those consciousnesses are not ignoring me, but they are defensive and cunning. They pretend not to see me, but are actually observing me secretly.

I followed Mencet to the study, and only then did I notice that the house seemed to be a manor castle, covering a very large area.

It was already dark outside, and the lights in the castle were dim and flickering, like candles that could be blown out by the wind at any time.

There is not too bright lighting in the study room.

The two-story-high bookshelf looks exaggerated. The ladder rests on top of the bookshelf, resting on the edge of the wall-sized bookshelf.

On the other side, there is an extended platform on the second floor, with sofas and small tables, and decorations hanging on the upper and lower walls. There are oil paintings, skull specimens of prey, and strange patterns painted directly on the walls.

The desk is huge. After Meinsit sat at the desk, all I could see was her head.

She motioned for me to sit down, and I had no choice but to sit on the chair in front of the desk. After sitting down like this, the scene I saw was even stranger. Mingxit's body was blocked by the desk, and his head seemed to be placed directly on the desk.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask? If I am in a good mood, I will answer your stupid question."

"How did ghosts appear?" I had thought about the question before, but now I asked it directly.

Wu Ling once said to me that there were no ghosts in the world, or in other words, there were no ghosts in the world. After ghosts appeared, God created spirits and ability users to deal with them, but they all failed. The demons were not destroyed.

On the contrary, the ghosts gained the upper hand and became more and more powerful, so powerful that even God could not do anything to them.

This sounds ridiculous.

But then I thought about it, this is a bit like a human being. There were no human beings in the world. Biological evolution has brought about human beings. Human beings rule the world. Even wild beasts and celestial disasters cannot wipe out all human beings. Therefore, human beings change nature. Mountains, rivers, sky, and sea were all affected. Although humans have not completely changed nature and still have no means to fully respond to natural disasters, humans have finally gained a foothold. Unless there is another mass extinction of species, wiping out humans and other living things together, and completely changing the environment, it is impossible for humans to perish.

Moving forward, most of the creatures that occupied the top of the biological chain in different eras were like this.

Perhaps God does not want to exterminate all human beings, but only wants to eliminate ghosts. But after it has exhausted all its methods and is unable to solve this problem, will it directly exterminate humans?

It shouldn't be possible...

At least, the future world proves that ghosts win, social order is rewritten, and God can only compromise, or be killed completely.

I was thinking about this, waiting for Mencet's answer.

Mencet looked at me like an idiot, "Why do you ask such a stupid question? Ghosts have been around since ancient times, otherwise where would human reincarnation come from? How can the dead and newborns be balanced? How can they be controlled?"

I was stunned, "You mean the underworld?"

"Underworld? Well, it's the underworld." Mingsit thought for a while and understood my words. "That place is a huge transit station. Everyone is judged, put in shackles, and then thrown into the human world and given a new life."

"This system has collapsed, right? The underworld is gone." I said immediately.

Mingxi nodded, "Yes."

"What 'yes'." I was a little helpless, "This must be a big deal, right?"

"yes."

"Then what? The system collapsed, so what now?"

I really haven't thought about this issue before. I was only worried about how to deal with the ghosts that emerged from the underworld.

However, this period of history has not changed, which really surprises me.

"What else can I do? After all these years, do you think there is anything wrong with human life?" Mingxit continued to look at me like an idiot.

I was stunned again.

History has changed. Things happened the same, but did the timing change?

"Has a new order been established?" I asked tentatively.

Mencet shook his head, losing his little girl expression and becoming more serious, "I just eliminated some unnecessary links. Have you never thought about it? My actions directly killed the soul. Like you... you It must be a person with abilities, right? You must have killed souls. So, where are those souls? How to fill the soul gap? Also, the world's population is growing every year. Where did it come from?”

I looked at Hunsit in shock.

"The underworld is just a transit station, putting shackles on all souls, nothing more." Mingsit said lightly, "Without it, reincarnation will still continue. New souls are born from nothingness, and there is an endless stream. Old souls will also Find your place.”

"In that case...what are the shackles you are talking about?" I felt as if I had touched the core of the world.

I thought of the chains I had seen.

Ming Xit looked at me and said, "This question is meaningless."

"Huh?" I reacted immediately. The underworld is gone, so there is no one to put shackles on all the souls. However, I can still see those chains.

"Soon, these shackles will completely collapse. I have been waiting for this day. However, I am a little unwilling to do so. By then, it will be my real death." Mingxit said sadly.

"Can you explain it? A straightforward explanation. I basically don't know much about this world. Ghosts, you, and living people..." I asked sincerely.

Compared to the speculations Wu Ling originally told me, what Mingxit knows is probably closer to the essence.

If you think about it carefully, the birth of human beings has been accompanied by death and the fear of death.

If one day, spirits appear in the world, then the first spirit to appear will probably be the spirit related to death.

Since then, society has changed and people's consciousness has changed, but this idea has always existed.

Even if Mingxit turned into a ridiculous appearance, he still had a spirit that lasted for who knows how many years. There are probably few existences in the entire world that are older than it.

"A fool like you still wants to know the nature of the world? Stop joking! You're wasting my time!" Mingxit suddenly took a breath and jumped down from the tall boss chair. His whole body was blocked by the desk, leaving only The next pair of eyes appeared.

She immediately noticed the problem, flew over, stood on the table, and looked down at me.

"You're just a behind-the-scenes person, stop pretending! Just follow me and don't cause trouble!" After saying that, when Mingxit jumped off the table, he stepped on my thigh as a stepping stone, and slipped away. Ran out of the room.

My soul was pulled, and when I was about to fly out with it, Mensit looked back and was furious.

"What are you doing?! You want to spy on me, okay? Get out of here!"

Her face turned red, she grabbed the sickle directly from the void and swung it in front of me.

With this loud shout, the traction between me and Mencet suddenly disappeared. I felt the traction coming from my body and flew back.

Goodnight everybody
