Death is the Beginning Chapter 3: : Situation

The people have been walking for two days and two nights by bus. On the way, I passed more than a dozen towns of different sizes, but these towns were completely empty, except for the ghosts that "smelled" the powerful soul bodies of the people, and there was not even a single living person. Gradually, the hearts of the people were very heavy. They all began to speculate whether all human beings have perished, right?

"It shouldn't be a small number. The number of those ghosts is too small. It is estimated that most of them still fled to other places. It is estimated that the world government dared to make this kind of obsession with absorbing living people. Then they should naturally have certain defensive measures. It is impossible to use all human beings to complete their plan, right? Power can only take effect in the crowd. Then they don't care about power, so they must protect the majority of people. These people must be concentrated in large cities." Yang Xuguang said with certainty.

His remark also attracted the approval of Yu Yuchen, but it is only sensible to know that it is the same thing. But seeing the facts is another matter, everyone still couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

In this way, it was not until the morning of the third day that people finally found some traces of humans. They were some garbage left on the side of the road, such as packaging bags, waste paper and food residues. The discovery that they had passed by or stayed here not long ago finally made everyone excited, and they also stepped up to move forward, hoping to find the location of this group of people.

In this way, it was not until late afternoon that everyone saw the pillar of fire and smoke rising from the jungle beside the high road, and also vaguely heard the noise of some people. No one left, and they all walked towards the place where the pillar of fire and smoke rose.

Not long after, everyone saw several young Europeans hiding on some short tree trunks and looking around intently. When they saw the crowd coming, the younger ones couldn't help but screamed, but they immediately After realizing that everyone was not a ghost, these young people became excited, and they jumped down from the tree first. Immediately, they ran over to the crowd, while the rest of them shouted loudly into the depths of the jungle, as if they were reporting the situation here to the large crowd.

Among the crowd, Gong Yeyu is a pure grabber, so don't expect him to know any foreign languages. Among the others, Pei Jiao, Yang Dingtian, Yang Xuguang, Yu Ndchen, and even Zhang Heng all know several foreign languages. It's a pity that they don't rely on foreign languages ​​for a living. They don't know their occupations, especially the languages ​​of some small European countries, and it is very obvious that these people are using these small languages.

"...Which of you can understand what they say?" Pei Jiao looked at the crowd with some distress and said.

Everyone smiled wryly and shook their heads. When Pei Jiao was about to ask those young people in English, Xue Na smiled and said, "Brother Odin, why have you forgotten me again? I have a very powerful Oh, so let me do it." While speaking, Xue Na stretched out her hand and swiped in the void, and strange runes appeared from her fingers. Then somehow it merged into the air and formed circles of ripples. Before everyone could react, those young people started to exclaim again.

"Oh my god, did you see that just now? What was that just now? Magic? Or divine art? Oh, look carefully, this little girl has a third eye! My God, is it the legendary three-eyed family?" Among them A young man shouted loudly.

Another young man exclaimed in the same way: "No, it should be a kind of supernatural power, right? I remember reading a record of oriental mythology. It says that there seems to be a way of practice in India that allows people to open their foreheads." If the third eye is right, the practice method is called Alaya Consciousness!"

These young people were incomparably surprised, and they all started chirping with each other. No one was convinced by what others said, and they all believed that their own guesses were correct, but they didn't know that what they said could already be understood. They understand it, and it is like the most normal Mandarin, without the weird tone of foreigners speaking Chinese.

Xue Na smiled and said, "Understood? The result of this kind of translation is to directly translate the meaning that the other party wants to express into your mother language, or directly instill the meaning into your mind, and the sound will change. How about becoming your mother tongue? Isn't this a great technique?"

Pei Jiao was also stunned. He watched Xue Na carefully for a long time. Then he said: "This kind of rune is really great, it goes beyond the scope of science and technology, just like the legendary magic."

Xue Na twitched her lips and said, "Imaginable technological means are like magic in front of people who don't know. Don’t alien races think the same way? They think these are miracles and miracles, but they don’t know that only life itself is a miracle. What are these technological means? But there’s one thing, Brother Odin, you’re right about the Luna text. It is indeed beyond the scope of technology you know because it is one of the most peak and ultimate technological means of our three-eyed race, and it is also called the ultimate of the three-eyed race with causal line technology."

Pei Jiao sighed. On the one hand, he was happy to get Xue Na's help. It is unimaginable that the addition of such a remnant of the Three-eyed tribe would help the team so much. On the other hand, it was because of the unimaginably brilliant civilization of the Three-eyed tribe. Such a powerful civilization dominated the Milky Way and almost reached the realm of the Creator, but it was also defeated in the hands of "Original Sin". Then human beings... Maybe human beings are not as good as ants in the eyes of 'Original Sin'.

At this moment, nearly a hundred people came out from the depths of the jungle one after another, and there were obviously several times the number behind them. Some women watched nervously from behind, but fortunately, these people did not show any hostility. After seeing that the few people were not ghosts, those people actually smiled.

"Everyone, please come into the camp. Everyone is a survivor who escaped from the city. Please come in and eat something and drink some water together. We passed by a small town and took it there. You must be hungry with a lot of food, right?"

Because he was a kind middle-aged man in his forties, he smiled and said to everyone, and the rest of the people behind him also showed gratified smiles and looked relieved.

Everyone looked at each other, they all looked at Pei Jiao and Gong Yeyu as if they were waiting for them to make up their minds.

In fact, both Pei Jiao and Gong Yeyu are the kind of people who have the potential of leadership The power leads the team so both can come up with ideas on key issues.

Pei Jiao and Gong Yeyu glanced at each other and Pei Jiao whispered, "Let's go to their camp, we can get some important information from them, such as what happened in this world and just now he mentioned the idea of ​​escaping from the city." They need to tell us what is going on."

Gong Yeyu nodded, obviously agreeing with Pei Jiao's statement, and then everyone followed the group of people in front of them into the depths of the jungle. Sure enough, not long after entering the jungle, a simple camp area appeared in front of everyone. In fact, it is not so much a camp as it is. From the other side, a small open space is just a tree branch on the ground, which has been tidied up, and more than a dozen camping tents have been erected randomly. This is the so-called camp area.

Pei Jiao could tell that this group of people had escaped from An Ding's residence not long ago, although their clothes were a little dusty and torn. But among this group of people, there is no sallow and emaciated appearance. Except for a little mental fatigue, everyone is in very good physical condition. In addition, in terms of physique alone, the physique of Caucasians is indeed stronger than that of yellow people, so these people in front of them look like It's like some kind of refugee fleeing from a donkey friend's camp.

Perhaps there is another reason why this doomsday catastrophe has not come for a long time. Although people are terrified, they have not completely lost hope. The world government still has the most basic power to control the regime, so under this situation, people's thinking is still stuck in the original state. In peacetime, for example, in the camp area, the people living in these dozens of tents are all old people or children, or women, while young and middle-aged men gave up the tents in a gentlemanly manner. Obviously, they have not yet become like those in the last days. Beast-like human beings.

The middle-aged man accompanied everyone to the center of the camp. He pointed to a certain direction with a smile and said, "All the food we got in the city is put there, although you can also get some of it. We have to walk to Paris on the way. Although there are some small towns and villages where food can be obtained, after all, not every town is safe. Maybe there are devourers in that town, so we have to give up, so everyone only has a certain amount of food every day. Everyone here is assigned so please don't mind."

Pei Jiao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, but our situation may be a little special. I want to ask you a lot of questions, may I ask if I can find a place to talk."

The middle-aged man looked at everyone suspiciously. When he saw Xue Na, he couldn't bear the surprise in his eyes. In fact, Xue Na's third eye is not very conspicuous. Her third eye is always closed. It looks like there is a gap on the forehead, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that it is an eye. The middle-aged man has been observing the crowd before, but he feels that the group in front of him has something to do with it. This indescribable aura did not notice the seven or eight-year-old little girl at this moment. When he took a closer look at this moment, he was astonished to find that the little girl had three eyes, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a few seconds, the middle-aged man looked at the crowd and said: "It can be seen that you seem to be very extraordinary. In fact, you are right. The fact that you are so few people can travel alone on the road already shows you It's extraordinary...well, besides me, there are a total of five people in charge here, we are responsible for leading everyone to Paris, and I will call them five." After speaking, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked to the side and faced several people. The young man said a few words, and then the young men ran away in a hurry.

Not long after, five men and women rushed over from the surrounding area of ​​the camp. Three men and two women were middle-aged and middle-aged. It can be seen that they did not engage in power-seeking activities. The clothes on their bodies were also dusty and the surrounding People are no different.

When the five people came in front of them, the middle-aged man briefly introduced Pei Jiao and the others, and then he said to Pei Jiao: "Let's go, there is a small stream outside the camp that is fairly clean and peaceful." Quiet, how about we go there and talk?"

Pei Jiao nodded and led the others to follow behind these six people. Apart from these six people, there were more than a dozen youths with fire axes or large machetes following them. Obviously, these six people also had feelings for them. Be wary, after all, they came unexpectedly and made such a strange request, so people can't help but doubt it.

Pei Jiao and the others don't care anyway, anyway, they don't have any malicious intentions. The most important thing right now is to find out what happened. If they want to follow, then follow them. They didn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of troops with hot weapons and heavy weapons, so they simply didn't mention it and followed the six people to a jungle stream.

When the six people stopped, the dozen or so young people stood not far away in a half-surrounded posture, and the six people each smiled and found a few clean rocks at random and sat down. Pei Jiao and the others I didn't care, and I took a few rocks and sat down at random, then Pei Jiaoxian couldn't help but said: "I know you have some doubts about us, but it doesn't matter, let's talk about our origin first, because the situation is a bit complicated, and we can't explain it clearly for a while." I was trapped somewhere for various reasons before, and I stayed there for more than a year until I escaped from there more than ten days ago. Who knew that when I came out, I found that the outside had completely changed, and almost even a living person could see it. Not even a single body was found, if we didn’t see that the buildings were basically intact, we would even think that there was a nuclear war, so can you please tell me what happened in this world?”

All six of them showed expressions of astonishment and surprise, and more of this expression was a kind of disbelief. After a long time, the middle-aged man asked strangely: "I'm sorry, it's not that I doubt you, it's just... just From what you said, you seem to have gone to several small towns, are you the only ones? Did you encounter anything on the way? How many people died?"

Pei Jiao shook his head and said, "Only none of us died on the way. As for the fact that we did encounter something on the way, to be precise, it was something like a ghost. It will keep changing its image, it looks scary, and I haven’t encountered anything else.”

The expressions of the six people became even more weird. They opened their mouths, but they didn't say anything for a long time.

In this way, the two sides were silent for a long time before the middle-aged man said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for seeing that you don't have a soul weapon on your body, I would have thought you were soldiers of the Soul Legion. How about entering the town?"

Pei Jiao said with certainty: "I know those ghosts will attack people, but don't you also enter some small villages and small towns to find food? Maybe we have better luck."

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, not only him, but also the other five people laughed. One of the middle-aged women said with a smile: "How is it possible? When the number of those ghosts is far less than that of living people, they will be afraid of us. The soul fluctuations emitted by gathering together, we have a total of more than 740 people, and we only dare to face ghosts with a number of less than 100. They dare not attack us. Once there are more than 100 ghosts, we will immediately be far away. If you escape from the village, you don’t dare to stay inside, otherwise people will die among us, and with such a small number of you, even if you encounter two or three ghosts, they will attack you directly, so how could it be luck.”

Xue Nacai curled her lips next to her and said, "It's blood energy? Spiritual yin is the part that most desires to get the soul, that is, the yang part of the soul, but a large amount of yang is poison to them, so when a large number of people gather together Spirits don't attack people, so the phenomenon of a large number of people gathering together is actually the accumulation of blood energy, so it's so strange."

The six people immediately looked at Xue Na in surprise, but after all, these six people had rich social experience and would not ask rashly, but instead looked at Pei Jiao and waited for Pei Jiao to start asking.

Pei Jiao thought about it for a while, and suddenly a laser sword appeared in his hand, and he said to the six people: "The soul weapon you mentioned just now refers to this thing?"

The six of them were startled and almost all jumped up from the rocks. Not only were they not alone, the young people not far away were also frightened for a while, and even forgot to rush over. When they came to their senses a few seconds later, But when they found that Pei Jiao just held the laser sword in his hand, he didn't have any malicious intentions, but they didn't know whether they should rush over.

The six people looked at each other in amazement and said to the middle-aged man: "No, this is not a soul weapon. The so-called soul weapon is a gun specially developed by the government to fight against ghosts. Your sword... is a laser sword, right? Did you hide it in your sleeves before? You...you didn’t get trapped in the government’s secret laboratory before, did you? Was it the laser sword that you took out when you came out?”

Pei Jiao smiled wryly. These foreigners really watched too many sci-fi movies, and they can guess things about government secret laboratories, but what they said was very interesting. Guns and bullets that can fight ghosts... you must know those Ghosts are not actually souls. Even now that the environment of the earth has begun to approach the subspace, those ghosts are still invulnerable and illusory objects. It is impossible to harm them with human weapons unless they are electromagnetic alloys or natural weapons left by the three-eyed race. As for this so-called soul weapon... Could it be that the government is already able to manufacture electromagnetic alloys on a large scale? Or is it a weapon made by the government by extracting the souls of living people?

With a flash of light in Pei Jiao's hand, the natural weapon disappeared into his eyes. Now the six people can clearly see that the laser sword is not hidden in the sleeve, but has entered Pei Jiao's eyes. This kind of situation is so unbelievable that it can't be explained by science, so the six people were shocked again, but fortunately, they were surprised enough just now. Instead of jumping up, they looked at Pei Jiao and Pei Jiao with silent eyes. the people behind.

Pei Jiao smiled and said: "That's why I said that our identities and experiences are too special. It must be very long to explain, so I hope you can tell us about the changes in this world?"

The six of them looked at each other for a few moments and murmured for the middle-aged man: "Have you been trapped in a certain place more than a year ago? Are there no ghosts in that place?"

Pei Jiao shook his head. The middle-aged man said slowly: "If you say that the world changed in about nine months, it shouldn't be about ten months ago. At that time, various online forums or some public websites were vaguely I mentioned the increasing number of suicide cases in the world. At that time, people in the society did not pay attention, and even the government only stepped up public psychological counseling. Until nine months ago, many strange videos suddenly appeared on the Internet, most of which were captured by mobile phones. Some are self-timed videos, some indescribable distortions appear on these videos, like a cassette tape in a movie, but the content on each video is almost the same, that is, these distortions are close to living people Then another twisted mass was sucked out of the living body."

"...After that, the living people who were sucked into the twisted objects in those videos all committed suicide, and as more and more videos, the government began to control the Internet, which seems to involve cults, but as the reality of network control does not It didn’t get any better. The city where we live also saw a large number of people commit suicide. As a result, people in the society became more and more panicked. Many took refuge in the countryside or remote towns. Many people speculated that this might be a new type of virus that destroys the human brain. A certain organ makes people lose self-restraint and then suicide."

"So it was eight months ago when the first large-scale ghost attack occurred in many small villages and towns all over the world. The less populated the place, the more likely such an attack is. Even the reporters of various TV stations took pictures of it, although the ghost that appeared on the screen is a distorted mass, but the ghost seen in reality is that kind of terrifying image."

The middle-aged man spread his hands and said: "The situation after that is like this. As more and more people die, there are more and more ghosts. Guns can't hurt them at all, and they will become invisible. I don't know why. If they run out of the place, anyone whose soul is sucked away by them will commit suicide and turn into a mass of ashes. Even if the person is tied up, the person will die naturally in the bondage, and will still turn into ashes, and it won't be long. The ghost of this person will appear, so the situation is getting worse. Fortunately, as a large number of people die, we have also discovered some activity patterns of ghosts. For example, they will not attack a large number of people gathered together, but if they are scattered in their own rooms. Then they will appear to attack these people, so many people began to gather in the center of the city or some squares. Even if they go to the bathroom, they must call more than a dozen people, otherwise their lives may be in danger.”

"After that, about three months ago, the government announced that the research on ghosts has achieved phased results. That is the soul corps I mentioned earlier. They hold special soul weapons that can harm ghosts, and they will also make The material of this soul weapon is used to make many barbed wire fences. These barbed wire fences can also resist the invasion of ghosts, but the amount of this soul material is too scarce, so the government can only protect some important cities. Those of us also live in a protected big city but about a month ago..."

Speaking of which, the expression of fear on the face of the middle-aged man is not only him, but also the other five people who have shown the same expression, as if recalling something terrible. The middle-aged man trembled from his arms. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one of them, lit it up, took a deep breath, and then he stabilized his mood and continued: "But more than a month ago, a large number of mutants suddenly appeared among those ghosts. They are no longer afraid of the breath of a large number of people gathering together, and the damage of soul weapons to them is extremely low. The most terrifying thing is that no matter how much damage these mutated ghosts receive, as long as they **** one or two living souls, they will be healed immediately. And it became stronger, just like that, more and more ghosts turned into mutants, our city was also breached, and everyone fled everywhere, ours only gathered so many people, God knows how many people escaped maybe ...Maybe more than 90% of the people died in that city."

Pei Jiao and the others looked at each other in surprise before Pei Jiao couldn't help asking: "Then what about the soul body? What about the breakaway? What about the advanced breakaway? This is Europe! The number of soul bodies in Europe is the highest in the world." There are also many high-level escapers, and there are several of them who are very powerful, just the blue boxing envoy I know?"

The middle-aged man and the other five people all showed puzzled expressions. The middle-aged man asked strangely: "What are soul-body breakers and advanced breakers? Who are they? Could it be that they can fight against ghosts?"

Pei Jiao and the others suddenly felt heavy in their hearts. It is very obvious that the World Government has not announced their existence or even... maybe even these people no longer exist!

Yang Xuguang said with a wry smile: "Could it be that the world government used them all to make soul weapons? How can a **** soul weapon compare to natural weapons? Moreover, demon-level souls can be slaughtered at will. Not to mention these ghosts, not to mention the souls of the real demon level kill these ghosts like pigs and dogs, it seems that the world government has really done something earth-shattering."

Pei Jiao was also wryly smiling there, and the six people in front of him were still looking at him full of doubts. Before the six people told them the situation in the world, he didn't intend to hide it and said directly: "I know you are very curious about our origin. Let’s talk about identities, in fact, we are all dead... er, except for this little girl and this woman, we are all already dead, and we are the souls that humans often say.”

These six people looked at each other, their eyes clearly showed expressions of disbelief, and Pei Jiao could only say, "That's why I said that our origin is very strange. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. I can only tell you that in human beings After death, a soul will be produced, and once the soul is produced, it will be covered with a layer of sin. Er, this sin is the original sin mentioned in your Bible, such as greed, sex, etc. It can also be said to be the cause and effect in our oriental mythology. In short, it is produced by human beings. The soul is not free at all. As soon as it is born, it is wrapped in sin. Then at midnight, these sin-wrapped souls will be pulled into a strange space. That space you can think of as the underworld in your Bible, or the underworld in our oriental mythology. In short, it is the home of the souls of all dead creatures.”

"As for the breakaways and advanced breakaways, they are the souls who have struggled out of this layer of sins on their own. Their souls are extremely tough and powerful, and are several times or even dozens of times stronger than the souls of ordinary people. As for the soul body, they are the broken away and advanced The human soul that escaped from sins with the help of the escaper is the origin of the soul-body escaper and the advanced escaper.”

The expressions of these six people suddenly changed into the kind of expressions that look like madmen. The middle-aged man even said: "But we can see you, and your actions, behaviors, and even thoughts are all the same as those ghosts. It's completely different, even those mutated ghosts don't look like you, their only idea is to **** souls, but you..."

Pei Jiao waved his hand and said: "We are human souls, not those ghosts. Those ghosts only have spirits but no souls, so they naturally don't have the same thinking ability as us. In fact, except for our life forms, you can regard us as human beings." The other variant actually existed as early as a few years ago, our soul body escapers, advanced escapers, governments all over the world, and even established soul organizations. We have been protecting the world for a few years, fighting those ghosts everywhere. It’s just you. I don’t know.”

The expressions of these six people have become even weirder, but fortunately, the current world situation is also very weird and can't be explained by science, so they gradually have some beliefs, but they just suddenly heard such a secret and didn't know what to say for a while. Believe it or continue to doubt it.

"We found out by chance over a year ago that the world government was doing an experiment to extract the souls of living people and raise them with evil thoughts and fears, and then use the souls to create all kinds of weapons and so on. At that time, the few of us turned against the world government, and then we were sealed into a Jedi. We escaped from that Jedi not long ago, and when we came out, we found that the situation in the whole world has changed drastically. We didn’t know until we heard what you said. Maybe these ghosts are the research experiments of the world government." Pei Jiao continued.

Speaking of which, the expressions of these six people have become so secretive that they don't know how to describe them, one after another, and they are related to the governments of the world and even changed the world situation. These things are too far away from them. Far too far.

Pei Jiao stood up when he said this. He smiled and said to the six people in front of him: "Now that the situation is clear, then we should leave. Regarding the ghosts in this world, we will go to the World Government to investigate you. Hurry to Paris as soon as possible. Although those ghosts can't do anything to us, they are too scary for you who are alive~IndoMTL.com~The middle-aged man suddenly said anxiously: "Wait, please wait a moment ago! It is said that your soul body has fought ghosts a few years ago, so can you destroy those ghosts? "

Besides Pei Jiao, Zhang Heng laughed and said, "What are these ghosts? They don't even have souls. They are a hundred times, a thousand times more powerful than them. They are not two levels at all."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately took a few steps forward and said, "So, can you stay for a while? Can you protect us to go to Paris? Although this request is too much, I don't know that you must have There are more than 700 people here, and there are no one who can hurt those ghosts. Usually, they dare not approach those larger towns, and even the vehicles on the road dare not go to the towns to get it. Walking to Paris... In fact, it’s just a hope we found for ourselves. I don’t know how many people are left when we reach Paris along the way, so... so can you please help us? Protect us and go to Paris!” (!)
