Lost Narrative Poetry

"Excuse me, am I dreaming?"

Xia Ran took a deep breath, looked up at the infinitely solemn Buddha's Dharma that occupied the sky, filled the entire world and all fields of view, and asked with a serious face.

She didn't know why she could be so calm. It was such an impactful scene that should have shocked her mother for a whole year. If it didn't work, it would have made her brain go blank in a short period of time and completely lose her ability to think. .

But she just calmed down extremely quickly, at a speed that even she couldn't believe.

"Dream? Maybe..." The majestic Buddha lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and said extremely calmly. The loud voice resounded throughout the sky, like the most sacred oracle, containing some kind of vast will that transcends the world. , "But what is a dream and what is reality? You can really tell the difference clearly..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't tell me these mysterious things. I don't want to hear them at all, and I don't understand them either..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, black lines appeared on her forehead, and she raised her hands decisively. Crossing them in front of him, "You'd better be more direct and simply explain what's going on."

There was no reason, maybe just because of the only connection. In short, she had confirmed that the true form of the Buddha's Dharma should be the young monk she had talked to when she was out of school in the previous afternoon.

Although she couldn't help but feel suspicious afterward, Xia Ran still felt somewhat confident about the other party's attitude during the brief conversation before. Although it made no sense, she just felt that when she really faced the other person directly, she felt surprisingly unafraid in her heart.

"You are dreaming." The Buddha, who has a majestic golden body and a huge dharma across the sky and sea, said calmly.

"..."

"..."

"Eh? Just, is it that simple?" The girl suddenly showed an unusually subtle expression.

"It's too complicated. I'm afraid you won't understand it, so it's better to make it simpler. I judge that you should be able to barely understand this answer."

The golden body of the Buddha is transparent and has a flawless pure light, just like a great sun. Wherever the pure light of the glass reaches, it is as if the pure land of the Buddha's kingdom is spreading. Even the void is rendered majestic and liberated, and various visions appear and transform. Lotus blossoms are born, and flowers are falling from the sky.

Infinite Light, Infinite Life, Infinite Compassion!

This is simply unimaginable holiness in the upper realm. No matter who it is, it is probably difficult to remain calm and composed under the majesty of such a golden Buddha. It may even be possible that even the rationality and sanity of those who see it will be at the forefront. Time was directly shaken.

But for some reason, Xia Ran didn't feel these things at all. The only thing she could feel was the faint contempt contained in the Buddha's indifferent answer, which suddenly burst out on her forehead. An obvious tic-tac-toe——

"What do you mean I should be able to barely understand such an answer? Don't look down on people!" She replied with black lines on her head, "I just asked you not to talk about those mysterious and mysterious things. If it can be explained clearly from a scientific perspective, No matter how complicated your statement is, I can understand it!"

should?

Or reluctantly?

How much does the other party despise his own brain capacity?

"Then first let's talk about your research level on special relativity and quantum mechanics..." The golden Buddha smiled calmly, his voice still loud, "I'll think about it again, how can I explain it to you better from a scientific perspective."

"..."

"..."

"Special Relativity... Quantum Mechanics..." The corner of her mouth twitched again. The girl raised her head and looked at the Infinite Buddha in front of her. She still couldn't help but feel a sense of disobedience. "Do you think a being like you can say this?" Is it appropriate?"

"Is there anything inappropriate?" the Demon Buddha clone replied calmly, "And you didn't say it? You have to believe in science."

"Believe in science..."

Xia Ran felt that this was definitely the most ridiculous sentence she had ever heard in her life. It was not that there was anything wrong with this sentence, but that there was something wrong with the person who said it.

She covered her forehead and let out a long sigh, looking around: "Forget it, by the way, where is this place?"

"The lowest level of the human spirit, the sea of ​​collective unconsciousness." The demon Buddha clone replied seriously, "Alaya consciousness of all living beings."

"Alaya sense? The eighth sense, the one in "Saint Seiya"?" The girl raised her eyebrows.

"Well, if you want to understand it this way, it's not bad, but it's just that you won't be able to hit the light speed punch..." Xia Ran's tone was very casual. While he was talking to the girl, he was overlooking the entire human world. The sea of ​​soul.

Even judging from the power system in the Saint Seiya series, Xia Ran is not considered to have awakened the eighth sense. In fact, she has not awakened the seventh sense or sixth sense, let alone mastered the power of the small universe. The reason why Arriving here and touching the alaya consciousness is nothing more than an accident.

The Buddha's eyes were dull, but there was a hint of weirdness in his indifference.

Perhaps like the idol theory, counterfeit objects with similar shapes and characteristics to the original object will also inherit some of the original object's abilities. For example, by making a replica with the same appearance as the cross used by the "Son of God" when he was tortured, and erecting it on the roof of the church, you can share some of the divine power possessed by the real cross.

Although the power shared by replicas is often extremely weak, and saying it is one ten thousandth is an infinite overestimation, the point is often not the amount of power, but the essential sameness.

Therefore, although some of the extraordinary characteristics of the girl are almost negligible, and from his perspective, they cannot be regarded as possessing any power at all, but...

Those characteristics that are too similar, coupled with the soul wavelength and frequency that are too similar, Xia Ran can easily confuse the discrimination mechanism of his technique, and inexplicably get involved in the operation of the "Womb Realm Mandala·Five Stopping Mind Views" , obtain the position with the highest authority.

Even if she was completely unconscious, she had no idea about it.

But the huge spell that affected the entire planet and enveloped the entire human world still misjudged her as a caster, especially when the real caster was not online and the highest authority had been vacant since the spell was formed. Next, probably after the girl fell into a dream, the wavelength of her soul was directly connected to the spell without realizing it.

"You actually know about the light speed fist? You don't know how to marvel at Athena, right?"

Xia Ran shook her head, feeling that the strange and magical feeling was getting more and more serious, but at this time, that was obviously not what needed attention.

She tried hard to get rid of those irrelevant thoughts in her mind, forced herself to face the reality, and looked at the huge golden Buddha with a tragic face: "Forget it, let's not talk about this... Just tell me, what do you want to do to me? What... I knew you would never let me go."

"..."

"..."

In fact, I did specifically let you go, but...

Xia Ran, who was paying attention to global trends and found that although the number was very small, some people had indeed begun to "dive deeply" couldn't help but sigh in her heart. However, at this time, it was not appropriate to send the girl back directly and tell her that it was an accident, so we might as well just go with the flow.

Loud rumble.

The next moment, it was so overwhelming that the Buddha, who was as high as the sky, gently raised his palm. The boundless clouds and mist hovering above him instantly diverted to both sides and slid downward like sea water.

The moment the giant palm lifted her up from the chaotic mist, the black-haired girl standing on the Buddha's palm pursed her lips tightly. She didn't feel any turmoil, but the sight she saw was shocking enough - —

It was as if a huge land mass suddenly rose from under the ocean under the boundless ocean. She saw that she was standing on an endless flesh-colored plain, with countless mist flowing and falling towards the outside of the plain, like a vast expanse of land. The water falls like a huge waterfall at the end of the world...

Holding the girl in his palm and raising it up to his eyes, the giant Buddha looked at her calmly: "Yes, I will not let you go. This is the fate you must face..."

I knew it……

Although she was mentally prepared, when she was actually confirmed, the girl still felt that her vision was almost black, and she felt like she wanted to cry without tears.

What kind of fate! Why should I face such a fate! I obviously didn't do anything, but I was a little late when I got home from school. Is this wrong?

"You should be able to notice that the world has undergone some changes, but don't ask me, because whether you believe it or not, I still have the same answer." The demon Buddha clone said, "I came to save the world and save the world. Save all living beings from the doomsday disaster..."

Xia Ran laughed a few times.

If there really is an end of the world, it will definitely be because of this unscientific existence that suddenly appeared, not other reasons.

Life forms that transcend common sense appear, and the world is destroyed because of it. Isn't that what movies and novels say? And the absolutely unscientific existence in front of her was obviously a precursor to this... It wasn't like she hadn't read the novel, and she was already thinking wildly in her mind.

Resurrection of spiritual energy? Mysterious awakening?

The myths and legends of the past were actually true, but for some reason there was a temporary gap, which caused history to move in the direction it is today, and now... are the stars returning?

"As you can see, this is the sea of ​​collective unconsciousness of all mankind, the lowest level of the seabed of the soul of all mankind. Look at those things..." The demon Buddha clone didn't pay attention, and just gestured to look at those things in the thick fog. The dark caves are like stars that flicker and fade, dotted in the collective subconscious of mankind.

"What's this?"

"The intersection of body, mind and will of all mankind manifests into this sea of ​​collective unconsciousness. Although everyone is an independent individual and has his own thoughts, there are always some concepts that are known and recognized by many people...even No need to agree, even if you are half-convinced."

The demon Buddha clone explained.

"As long as you have some understanding of the relevant concepts and have a certain foundation of impressions, the more people know about them and have impressions, the more they connect their consciousnesses on the same channel. Over time, related thoughts will converge at one point. The highly condensed will is imprinted, and the intersection will eventually be manifested in the sea of ​​subconsciousness."

"Can you tell me more specifically?" Xia Ran was a little confused, but subconsciously felt that this might be a very important matter, so she hurriedly asked.

"I really want to compare it to belief and use the example of gods as an example, but unfortunately, those relatively vague concepts cannot be formed because there is no clear and specific definition, and everyone has different ideas in their hearts. They are all the same concept, but in fact they are completely unrelated things..."

The Buddha showed a smile that made the girl feel uncomfortable: "So, it is often the concepts that have a more specific definition, are talked about, and are widely spread, that can be materialized in the deep consciousness of all mankind... …I’m not saying there aren’t beautiful examples, but more of them are nightmares that are burned into the human subconscious.”

In fact, these things have always existed, but humans generally are not aware of them, because most people cannot even understand their own subconscious, and naturally it is impossible to dive into the deep sea of ​​Alaya consciousness.

However, uninvited guests from another world helped them open the door to perception not long ago, allowing almost everyone to have the opportunity to "dive deep", as long as they meet the conditions...

——What is eligible?

For example, there is a famous urban legend that limits the general scope of a certain place. Then the space imprinted in the collective subconscious is often the place that corresponds to the real world.

If a person who enters this range happens to know that urban legend and subconsciously remembers it, then he is likely to be captured because of the "soul frequency" fit and fall into the space imprinted on the subconscious mind.

And because this is an interaction with Alaya consciousness, all human consciousness is connected in series at this level, so people nearby may be affected by the aftermath and ripples even if they have not fallen into that space. ——

For example, although they did not personally walk on a non-existent road, so nothing happened, they saw the victim walking on the non-existent road from a distance and disappeared since then...

It obviously didn't happen in the real world, but once it happened, everyone near the scene could see it with their own eyes. It was like hallucination and subconscious materialization, and the nightmare broke through the limitations of time and physics.

…

…

The other side.

The train, which had been speeding through the endless dark wilderness and mountains, finally began to slow down after passing through a long tunnel.

The few people who had plucked up the courage to form a group and walked to the first carriage, patted the window of the conductor's room and cried for half an hour, but got no response, discovered the situation immediately, but they didn't realize it. The child did not feel at ease, but became more and more frightened.

It has been an hour since I got in the car, and even the most sluggish person has come to his senses.

There has never been a train stopping at the station...

You can't see inside at all, and there is never any response from the commander's room...

I also contacted the program team by phone, and the answer they gave was even more heart-breaking...

This can no longer be a prank. Even if national-level manpower and material resources are mobilized, there is no reason to do it to this extent, let alone a TV variety show. They discovered with great horror that the fact was that they and others really boarded a ghost train and took a non-existent railway line.

"There is a station ahead...it seems to be stopping..." The boy wearing glasses mustered up his courage, glanced at the front of the car, and then said with a pale face.

"Are we getting off?"

Another boy asked.

"No no no-!!!"

"I won't get off the car! I definitely don't want to get off the car!"

The only two women among the group screamed almost instantly, with expressions of fear and resistance on their faces. They desperately hoped that the damn train would stop, but they were extremely afraid that it would actually stop.

"Let's look at the situation..." the more assertive man said sternly, "It might be dangerous if we get off the train, but if we don't get off, who knows where this ghost train will take us? At that time, I may really never be able to leave again..."

It’s not a matter of choosing between good or bad, but between bad and worse.

"Call the police, call the police..." the woman next to the man said tremblingly, her voice already trembling.

"We've already called the police, but the police don't believe our story at all..." The boy who spoke before tried to force a smile, which looked uglier than crying. "Now they don't answer our calls. Once we call, Will be hung up..."

"How could they do this!!"

The woman couldn't accept the cruel fact that she couldn't be rescued, and couldn't help but scream loudly.

"There's nothing we can do..." The man in the other couple smiled bitterly, "We can't explain our current situation at all, and the police can't believe such a ridiculous statement..."

"What about the program team? By the way, there are still people from the program! Let them call the police!" The woman seemed to have thought of something, and kept urging as if she was grasping the last straw.

Now that everyone knows it, they all understand that the other person is also a staff member or extra in the program team, so naturally there is no need to be secretive anymore.

"I've called, but the police station still doesn't seem to accept the case. I think they are also playing a prank. The program team is currently trying to figure out a way..."

The man waved his hand helplessly and with a headache: "And you haven't understood the point yet. Even if the police accept this case, will they really be able to find us? Can the police be dispatched to catch up with this ghost train and find this person?" Are you coming to the supernatural world?"

"I...I...what should I do..." The woman felt that her feet were weak and she could almost lose her balance.

At this time, the train, which had been slowing down, finally came to a complete stop.

Click.

The carriage door opened directly, and the chill of the night outside rushed to my face in an instant.

Everyone's heart felt cold, their hands and feet were stiff, and they didn't know what to do. They stared outside, as if they wanted to penetrate the thick night and see clearly whether there were any alien monsters wandering in the darkness...

"Go, go and have a look... let's have a look." Someone whispered to break the silence. "At least know where we are."

Everyone looked at each other, and then they walked out of the car one after another very slowly and reluctantly. The two women originally wanted to stay and refused to go down, but as they watched other people leaving one after another, and the already empty carriage becoming even emptier, they suddenly felt even more frightened.

The train stopped at an unmanned platform, an old-fashioned Japanese building, standing quietly in the wilderness in the dark night, giving it a unique and mysterious atmosphere.

Moreover, the platform has no station building and is very simple. It does not even have any lights, and it is pitch black.

The fearful and tiptoeing crowd finally managed to find the stop sign and used their mobile phones to illuminate it -

"Kisaragi Station".

"..."

"..."

For a moment, all the sounds disappeared completely, including the originally imperceptible sound of breathing and the originally pounding heartbeat. Everyone felt that at this moment, they were almost suffocating, and there was a feeling of The coolness soaked from head to bones.

"Russuki Station... It's really Kisaragi Station..." A man stared blankly at the stop sign, and suddenly turned his head fiercely, staring at the two boys, which was deliberately arranged by the program team. The actor said, "Okay now! We've really arrived at Kisaragi Station! It's all your fault!"

"No...no, it's none of our business!"

"This is obviously an urban legend, we... we don't know..."

The two of them stammered and explained with sad faces.

Because the other four people all cast some vicious looks at them, whether it was their fault or not, as the first people to mention the urban legend of Kisaragi Station, they had automatically locked onto the location of the culprit.

At this time, the sounds of bells and taiko drums seemed to come from the distant mountains and forests...

Sometimes big and sometimes small, it is vaguely approaching the station little by little.

In this deserted countryside, in this completely silent night, it seems particularly strange.

"Quick! Get back to the car!" Everyone's spirits tightened instantly, like a tightrope stretched to the limit. A creepy feeling surged into their hearts. No matter how bold they were, they would have already reached the limit at this moment. On the verge of collapse, I didn’t dare to stay and wait and see...

Everyone is afraid, thinking that something terrifying may be approaching.

In this distorted and nightmare-like atmosphere, everyone held their breath and turned around to run in the direction of the train. But as soon as they turned their heads, they saw a scene that completely destroyed them——

On the railway not far away, the train had started moving at some point. The long winding body was accelerating and disappeared from their sight... They didn't even hear the sound!

In an instant, two out-of-control sopranos resounded throughout the vicinity of the wilderness train station, and the screams burst out of fear, high and sharp!
