Dead ex boyfriend suddenly started attacking me

Ship of Theseus-11

The war between humans and ghosts, which was thought to last for several years, ended in a way that no one expected.

The name "Gu Qi" was suddenly spread in the streets and alleys, and even a child who had just learned to speak could pronounce the words clearly.

Everyone knows that the end of the war does not mean that the ghosts have disappeared completely, nor does it mean that their lives have returned to the past.

But so what?

They have obtained an absolutely safe living area now, so maybe there will always be such a day, those lost cities and lands can return to human control.

This was something that no one dared to imagine during the previous war period, but now because of Gu Qi's existence, people's inner hope has been awakened, making them seem to regain the right to dream and the motivation to fight hard.

——Since we human beings can have someone like Gu Xi who crushes ghosts.

And why do you think that among human beings, there will be no second or third Gu Qi in the future?

And at that time, don't human beings deserve to regain the world and their right to live?

What Gu Xi lit up in their hearts was the hope for the future.It was as if a handful of seeds had been sprinkled on the originally barren land, so everyone was willing to believe and hope that there would be gorgeous flowers blooming here one day.

Under such an environment, there are naturally many people who want to find Gu Qi.

But strange things happened.

The most powerful celestial master who should be surrounded by countless people and enjoy the highest glory and reverence mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

If it wasn't because Gu Xi somehow still remembered to leave a message, saying that he was just going out on business and he didn't need to care about it, then maybe a new round of panic would be triggered like this.

However, Gu Xi, who was guessed and searched for traces, appeared in a place that no one would expect—at least it should not be the place where he, the number one celestial master, should appear.

He stood in front of the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts.

If any acquaintances in the daily life saw the current Gu Qi, they might not dare to recognize him.Because the current image of the young man cannot be said to have the same style as the usual appearance, it can only be said to be irrelevant.

He was wearing a pitch-black cloak and a hood, which completely covered his entire body, only revealing a small pointed chin.The complexion was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if it would melt little by little as long as it appeared in the light.

The former Luocheng has completely lost any trace of its existence, replaced by a long, narrow and deep abyss that seems to have no end and can swallow everything that looks at it.

What overflowed from this huge crack on the ground was Yin Qi and Ghost Qi that couldn't be ignored at all—or in other words, this is the "mouth" that opened between this piece of heaven and earth, and all All the yin energy overflowed from here, and then filled the whole world.

Gu Xi stood at the opening of the crack, his expression somber.

This is the old site of Luocheng.If it is necessary to set the coordinates more accurately, then Gu Xi can assert that the center point of the entire abyss of ghosts is directly below where his feet are now.

And this is also the place corresponding to the White Jade Pagoda on the rockery in the garden of Luocheng Fifth Elementary School in Luocheng that day.

Every time Gu Xi thought about it afterwards, he found that he couldn't remember exactly what happened in those few days.His last impression was that he stepped into a crack under the water surface, the space closed behind him, and boundless darkness spread up, causing his body and consciousness to fall into a deep sleep that the master himself could not control.

And when Gu Xi woke up again—his body was no longer under his control, and the yin qi flowing through the blood vessels and meridians that had been suppressed and sealed for many years was unreservedly mobilized and exploded.

He has already touched the last crumbling door between "man" and "ghost". He only needs to take another step forward, and he will completely become the subordinate of the other side from then on, and he will no longer be able to call himself "son of man".

Then, during the period of time when he was unconscious, what exactly happened to push everything to the final irreversible tragedy that required feasting in exchange for his life.

Gu Qi felt that he had to figure it out.

The boy then jumped towards the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts without the slightest hesitation.

However—something that surprised Gu Qi happened.

The Abyss of Myriad Ghosts refused his entry.

There was a strong but steady airflow that lifted the fallen boy up, and lightly sent him back to the edge of the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts.These air currents circle around Gu Xi's side, they are gentle and not in line with the nature of Yin Qi itself, just like... the mother's doting, gently brushing across the face and head with soft hands .

"I can't enter the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts...why?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Gu Qi's face.

He stared at the deep abyss, as if hoping that Yi's eyes could see through the long distance and layers of obstacles, until he could see the bottom of the deep abyss at the bottom.

The Abyss of Myriad Ghosts should not have rejected him.

This is the origin and birthplace of all ghosts, in other words, it is the eye of Yin Qi in this world.If one had to choose a place in this world with the most yin energy, it would definitely be here.

As for Gu Xi, who is filled with Yin Qi in his body and is born to be the center of Yin Qi gathering, he should have been accepted by the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts without reservation.

——Because they are so derived from the same origin, they should be harmonious regardless of you and me, and they can merge with each other without any hindrance.Like a river running into the sea.

However, what happened now is that the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts refused Gu Xi's entry, and closed the door that was supposed to be open to him, so there was no loophole to take advantage of.

Gu Qi was silent for a long time, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

what.

He probably understood why.

Because someone has exchanged his supreme and noble destiny with him, giving him the brightest and most honorable way forward.

Therefore, the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts will no longer accept his entry. This child who should have been the most beloved and cherished child of Abyss of Myriad Ghosts has completely embarked on another path that runs counter to it.

"Feast."

Gu Qi muttered that person's name, his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Tears overflowed his eyes one step before he realized it, and it wasn't until his face was wet that Gu Xi realized "I was crying" belatedly.

This young man who is now hailed as light, faith and hope in the outside world, who is almost on the altar of human beings, and who has exhausted all conceivable words to praise and sing, slowly squats down and sits curled up on the ground , buried his head between his knees.

a long time.

A subdued, low-pitched sobbing sound resounded in this empty space.

It wasn't crying hysterically. Its owner seemed to be trying his best to suppress his emotions, not wanting to be noticed by other beings.

Because of this, the cry that sometimes leaks out is undoubtedly more worrying, like a little beast quietly licking its own wound in the dark.

He was abandoned by his master, so there was no "home" to go back to, and no "people" who would care about him.

Probably even Gu Xi himself didn't know how long he had been on the shore of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts.Time passed by in a muddle, even as if it had lost its meaning.

And during such a long time, Gu Xi felt that he had a vague dream.

In the haze, it seemed that someone stood in front of him with a sigh, stretched out his hand, put it on top of his head, and rubbed it gently.

"This is not what I expect from you." The other party said, "If you stay in the ghost domain and the abyss of ghosts like this all the time, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"

The man stretched out his hand, pressed Gu Xi's shoulder, turned him around half a circle, and faced another direction.

There was an undeniable force from these hands, pushing him in that direction.

"Go back." The voice was so gentle, so gentle that it almost made Gu Qi cry, "Go back to the world that belongs to humans."

He then involuntarily followed the voice and walked forward.

Those hands were withdrawn at some point, but Gu Xi could feel a gaze watching him from behind.

"Go." The other party smiled, sighed, and blessed, "May your future be bright and bright, accompanied by flowers, happiness and well-being."

Gu Xi woke up suddenly at the end of the dream. He opened his eyes wide, then rushed to the edge of the abyss, and shouted Yan Le's name down below: "Ale——Ale! It's you, right? Are you still here?" Here, right?!"

Of course he didn't get a response.The Abyss of Myriad Ghosts was as silent as ever, without any signs of life.

But Gu Xi is like a lifeless puppet that has been re-wound and injected with power, so that delicate and gorgeous face glows with brilliance, which is a kind of beauty that cannot be ignored.

Gu Xi took a deep, deep breath.

Silver light flickered in his palm, and finally solidified, becoming two silver-white guns. ——It is Gu Qi's soul magic weapon, the left gun Liuhuo and the right gun Frost Star.

There are raised and embossed patterns on the body of the gun, and on the handle of the gun are two gemstones, one red and one blue, and there seems to be a liquid flowing slowly inside.

This is the power core of the two guns, and also a part of Gu Qi's soul.

There was a strange smile on the young man's face.With his own hands, he stripped the two gorgeous gemstones from the gun without even blinking his eyes, as if he couldn't feel the terrible pain that tore the soul at all.Soon, the two gemstones were already lying in his palm, even next to the dark abyss with no light source, they still shone with dazzling brilliance.

After tossing up and down for a while, Gu Xi raised his arms horizontally and stretched them above the Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

He let go, and the two gems fell towards the endless abyss, and soon they were no longer visible.

They are rare special existences in this world that can independently absorb Yin Qi and use it for their own use, without any rejection in the process.

There is a faint obsession in Gu Qi's heart.

If——if Yan Le still has a thought, is it possible for the other party to reappear?

Even if the reappearing you is no longer you, not even human, but whatever.

I am still willing to bet on such an illusory possibility and hope.

"Good night, Le."

Gu Qi took one last look at Abyss of Myriad Ghosts, then turned and left.

——He went back to the human world that Yan Yue wanted him to go back to.

It's just that different from the dead silence and haggardness when he came, his eyes finally lit up with bits and pieces of light again.Not very bright, but at least it is no longer dead.

People who have been drowning in darkness for a long time hold only a vain light in their arms, or it may be enough for them to drink poison to quench their thirst to pass through the long night, so as to welcome the illusory dream that does not know whether it will come or when it will come.

Gu Xi never imagined that his future self would deliberately forget about this matter, so that when he saw a person with the same face as Yan Le, he thought it was a new conspiracy of the association.

And of course he wouldn't know.

Because of the origin of these two remaining soul artifacts, a fragment of a soul that should have been swallowed and assimilated by the Yin Qi in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts was able to escape that fate.

These fragments began to converge towards the two stone marrows, with them as the center, building the shape bit by bit.The airflow and force field here gradually began to appear chaotic, forming a thick, dark gray cocoon between the interweaving.

Countless things like "vessels" stretched out from the Abyss of Myriad Ghosts, connecting with this cocoon.

These pipes are constantly bulging, sending power into the cocoon.As a result, the cocoon began to glow with a faint luster, and began to beat vigorously like a heart.

"Bang bang."

"Bang bang."

***

He woke up from the darkness, looking at the two clusters of bright lights, one red and one blue, in a daze.

The Yin energy around him surrounded him, full of love and protection that couldn't be ignored at all.This should have been the most yin and coldest and most malicious force in this world, but now it is surrounded by a docile and gentle force.

The two balls of light flew towards him, clinging to his wrist with nostalgia, and then sank into the skin bit by bit, leaving only two dots smaller than the tip of a needle.

If he hadn't seen their original appearance and the series of behaviors afterwards, anyone would have thought that these were two small moles that had grown on his wrists.

He tried to take a step, but just as he stepped out, he staggered and almost fell.

Then he turned his head and found that there were long, pitch-black scales trailing behind him, like the wings of a butterfly.They were the ones that nearly drove him to the street.

This is undoubtedly a very beautiful pair of scale wings, the main colors are black and blue, covered with a layer of sparkling powder.There are scarlet eyes on both sides of the wing, some are opened, some are closed, in this dark abyss, there is actually a different kind of beauty.

only……

He reached out and touched the huge wings that were dragging on the ground.

It clearly grew from his own body, but he had a faint sense of disobedience, always felt that the butterfly wings were out of place, and often even forgot their existence.It was as if it didn't belong to him at all, but someone put other people's scales on his body forcibly, and pieced together such a body.

He grabbed the wing and looked at it for a while, and finally gave up his plan to continue researching.

So what to do next?

He sat at the bottom of this empty, dark and desolate abyss, a little dazed.Because he found that he knew nothing about this world, where he came from, and where he was going.

When he started to think about this matter, it was as if a hand had knocked on his head, dispelling the fog that had originally shrouded it.

I'm looking for someone, he thought.

A person whose name is unknown, but who is very, very important.

He has to find him.

After clarifying such a purpose, he began to take action.

He walked out of this dark abyss.

Outside of Shen Yuan is a cloudy sky, the light is gloomy, and there is not much difference compared with the pitch-black Shen Yuan.Countless ghosts did not know when they would gather here, waiting quietly.

When they saw him coming out of the sinking abyss, the eyes of these ghosts lit up.

Their faces showed admiration, reverence, and pilgrimage-like expressions, and the army of thousands of ghosts knelt and bowed in his direction, like a wheat field blown down by wind and waves.

"king."

That's what they call his being.

"king!"

Thus they greeted his birth.

At that moment, he suddenly understood what he was, "what".

"I am... Yan Chaosheng."

"He is the lord of all ghosts and natural disasters, and the king of all ghosts in this world."

—[The Ship of Theseus] Vol. End—

The author has something to say:

"The Ship of Theseus" in this volume is the Theseus Paradox: If the wood on Theseus' ship is gradually replaced until all the wood is not the original wood, then the ship is still the same ship ?

Therefore, if a person, his memory and power are all replaced, it will be different from the past.

So, is he still the same person...?

***

A small theater:

——After doing this, you will no longer be able to use your power unscrupulously like before. From now on, you will stand on the borderline between humans and ghosts, and you will fall into the abyss forever if you make a wrong step.

——Even so, you still have to exchange a part of your soul origin for such an illusory opportunity.

--does it worth?

【worth.Of course it's worth it. 】

[Because only by his side can I really "live". 】

【——What I am saving belongs to my destiny and redemption. 】
