Reversing Life

It is extremely boring to test human nature, and Mu Yunxian never takes risks.

As for how much money and books the employer can get from the reformed system that strictly regulates his behavior, it is none of Mu Yunxian's business.

.

Unlike many previous employers, Mu Yunxian has no feelings for the current employer. He has only read the employer's memory, and the content shown in the memory shows that to a large extent, this employer has nothing to do with the interestingness defined by Mu Yunxian. In addition, Mu Yunxian doesn't care much about the employer's relatives, and even the last point of bonus is gone.

After arranging everything, he simply left this world, and at this time he found that he was about to come to the task of copper-level promotion to silver-level inadvertently.

Unlike the high school student in the task management office who sent a message to him last time, there was no such special treatment this time, and Mu Yunxian had to choose by himself.

The task of copper-level promotion to silver-level does not deduct his remaining lifespan, nor will it affect his remaining debts, but if it fails, he will die directly.

"No wonder so many people want to run away..." Mu Yunxian strangely resonated with those people in his heart: "The pressure is really too great."

After living long enough, Mu Yunxian found that people's 'personality' will also be consumed, just like the several employers of the system in the previous world. Why did they have such resources that spanned the plane in their hands, but they all ended up playing themselves to death? It is because, at a certain age, the things they care about are different.

The tasker will also grow old, not the body, not the mind. In this challenge that spans tens of millions of years and seems to have no diameter, who can guarantee that they will not be tired and always have fighting spirit?

But they know more clearly that when they have the intention to retreat and fear in their hearts, the things that drive them to keep moving forward will be worn away, and they will not be far from death.

For Mu Yunxian, he has hardly encountered too big obstacles along the way. When he really has to go through a test of life and death, won't he retreat?

Mu Yunxian is really not afraid.

"Chongming, let's go." Mu Yunxian looked through the task introduction and called Chongming: "I'm afraid you will be busy for the next period of time."

Chongming is just a bird, so naturally he doesn't think so much like him. He didn't understand Mu Yunxian's mood at all, and showed his beautiful feathers again.

"I'll install a mirror for you when I come back." Mu Yunxian smiled: "I'll be back soon, don't look at it."

Chongming was very dissatisfied with his lack of support, fell on his shoulder, and called him.

The difficulty of the new task is there, and it is impossible to say that Mu Yunxian doesn't take it seriously. But after he read the memory of this employer, Mu Yunxian really didn't know what he should pay attention to.

This task is a promotion task from bronze to silver level. The difficulty is above the general bronze task and is close to the ordinary silver level. The background of the world is also, although it is also a world with a fantasy background, it is much more realistic than the fantasy world in the bronze world. It's not like those worlds, where the cultivators can't even fly.

The main venue of his mission this time was not in the human world, but in the ghost world. In this world, humans, demons, ghosts and gods each go their own way and do not interfere with each other. After a person dies and becomes a ghost, he has nothing to do with the human world.

After arranging everything, he simply left this world, and at this time he found that he was about to come to the task of upgrading from bronze to silver level without noticing.

After living long enough, Mu Yunxian found that people's "personality" will also be consumed, just like the several employers of the system in the previous world.

The person that Mu Yunxian is going to replace this time should not be called an employer, because he has no wish for Mu Yunxian to fulfill. Mu Yunxian inherited only a shell from him.

The previous owner of this shell was not a ghost transformed from a human, but a creature born alone from the ghost world. It is a kind of creature born from the obsession left behind after a person turned into a ghost.

Those ghosts crossed the Naihe Bridge, those who should dispersed dispersed, and those who should be reincarnated were reincarnated. The past dust was gone, but the emotions did not. These obsessions were left at the bottom of the Wangchuan River, and followed the water flow to the bottom of the ghost world, gathering together. Over time, this kind of creature came into being. Other creatures named them half-souls.

The previous owner of the shell was an ordinary one among them. The memory that prompted him to be reborn was the emotions of a pregnant woman who died of dystocia. This pregnant woman had never suffered any hardship before her death. Her parents loved her and her husband and wife had a harmonious relationship. The most difficult thing she had encountered in her life was pregnancy. She died because of it. She never blamed anyone. The only emotion left to the employer was the reluctance to part with her relatives and the worry about the newborn child.

This memory laid the tone of the employer's half-soul character. Since birth, he was very curious about what kind of creature humans are. As a creature in the ghost world, it is basically impossible to think about the human world. What's more, his survival status has been determined. He has no time to think so much. As the weakest existence in the ghost world, the half-soul is the target of many creatures. It is not easy for him to survive.

After floating at the bottom of the netherworld for nearly a hundred years, he finally accumulated enough strength and climbed out from the bottom of the river. Because of that memory, he is kind by nature. As a creature of the ghost clan, he is quite human. For this, he suffered a lot. He climbed from the bottom to the middle level. He almost couldn't survive several times, but he still didn't give up. The only thing that kept him going was an obsession.

He wanted to see what people were like. But in the end, he still didn't see it, and was killed by a more powerful ghost creature. This is also one of the reasons why he rented his shell to the management office. The half soul itself is a creature born of obsession. The power of obsession itself is strong enough for them.

However, he is only the owner of the shell, not the employer, so Mu Yunxian's task this time is not to satisfy his obsession. As a promotion task, the task management office maintains its consistent style. The test questions given to Mu Yunxian are like this. The task management office gave him three hundred years, and he needed to use this time to give the other party a satisfactory answer.

As for what is a satisfactory answer, there is no explanation. It is always such a mysterious sentence. On the surface, this task should still start from his obsession - but if you do this, you will fall into a dead loop.

As mentioned earlier, the employer is the lowest creature in the ghost world, and it is almost impossible for him to reach the human world in three hundred years.

Looking at the crazy people around him, Mu Yunxian curled his lips: "Why not live first." He said: "Isn't it the instinct of every creature to live? You can't be dissatisfied with this."

.

In Mu Yunxian's view, half-souls are very interesting creatures. They are born from human souls, but they are not exactly the same as humans. If you have to describe them as similar to humans, you can say that they are completely crazy.

When the half-soul of the former owner of the shell died, he was already a medium-to-high-level existence in the ghost world. With the level up, the way of thinking has also changed. The biggest feature is that he is much more sober than the low-level people who are talking nonsense, and the characteristics of their race are more clearly reflected in him - influenced by his most impressive memory, he is a very emotional person.

After Mu Yunxian got the task, he started from there.

The task said that he had to be satisfied. After thinking about it, Mu Yunxian decided to take this path. Since he was no different from humans, why didn't Mu Yunxian let him believe this? He was basically a human being. He had his own ideas and persistence, so what was the difference between him and a human being?

After reading his memory, Mu Yunxian was most impressed by his desire to survive, and Mu Yunxian wanted to make use of this as much as possible.

But that’s another story. Life in the river is not so easy now.

This is the bottom of the Netherworld, where every half-soul is born. These ignorant lunatics have been wandering here since they were born, day and night, until they were eaten by higher-level ghost creatures. Their food is the washed-out memories floating down from the uppermost bridge in the ghost world. Occasionally, ghosts will float here and be eaten by them.

Whenever they eat a memory, they will empathize with it and appear crazy. Mu Yunxian, who is too calm, is out of place among them. Compared with other half-souls, Mu Yunxian is more like a human being who got into it by mistake, so that there are often blind half-souls who want to eat him, and then are slightly confused. The angry Mu Yunxian was killed.

Only then did Mu Yunxian realize the reason why this world could be selected for the promotion mission. The mission was difficult from the start. At first, he thought the difficulty of the mission was because he couldn't figure out the meaning of the sentence. Later, he thought it was how to survive as a low-level creature. But after coming into contact with this world, he finally understood that the most important thing was to stay awake.

The food of half-souls is the obsessive memories of dead humans. As a mission worker, Mu Yunxian often reads his employer's memories. Even though those memories are filled with resentment and unforgettable, they are fundamentally different from the life of a half-soul. One of the reasons is that it is too dense. He has to eat every one to two days to taste the resentment of others. Coupled with the fact that this race is easy to empathize, Mu Yunxian will have an illusion almost every time after eating. He wants to Can't tell who I am anymore.

Most of the obsessions that floated to the bottom of the water were filled with resentment, and Mu Yunxian's temper became violent and he was unable to control his emotions. This was a long time ago for him. What's even more frightening is that he doesn't know how long this situation will last.

Because of his race, he couldn't go too far from the bottom of the settlement, otherwise he would have no food to eat. But if he didn't leave, there would be no possibility of upgrading. Day by day, he would waste time in the never-ending spirit and become more and more tired. The more irritable. Until one day he couldn't control his emotions at all and died completely after failing the mission.

Mu Yunxian stayed in this cycle of death for three years. He didn't die, but his temper was worn out. He had been to other worlds with fantasy backgrounds. As for cultivation, he did not necessarily have to practice the methods of half-souls. So after three years, Mu Yunxian felt that if he practiced for another three years, he would be able to get rid of the instinct of half-souls. , when climbing ashore, someone came over.

It's not accurate to say it was a ghost, but it was actually a dead ghost that sank all the way to the bottom. Mu Yunxian rescued him before he was torn apart by those half-ghosts.

After coming to this world, Mu Yunxian still lives in his own library. When this person wakes up, what he sees when he opens his eyes is a house that looks like the human world, with green trees outside the window and the sound of birds singing.

He laughed miserably and struggled to get up.

"Are you awake?" He heard someone talking to him, looked over subconsciously, and then realized that the person in front of him was not a human at all, but a ghost creature he had heard about, called... a half-soul. ?

Half-souls are called half-souls because they seem to have souls but incomplete souls. The half-soul in front of him was similar to the ghosts he had seen. They were both translucent. The only difference was the eyes. The pupils of the half-soul were silver-white, as if they had no emotions at all, and seemed to be going crazy at any time. This half-soul He had a good temper. He looked at him carefully and said, "Did you jump down by yourself?"

He asked subconsciously: "How did you know?"

Then he realized that half-souls were most sensitive to emotions, so they must have sensed something. Then the half-soul opposite him laughed lightly and said: "Your obsession is too deep, this smell makes them curious... Can I ask why you jumped down? As an ordinary mortal , Once you enter the ghost world, you won’t even be able to defeat these lowest-level foods.”

There was a trace of bitterness in the man's eyes, and he said: "I can't forget. If I don't forget, there is still the possibility of going back in the future. If I completely forget, there will be nothing."

"You don't seem to have said anything." Mu Yunxian said in surprise: "You actually want to go back?"

"I know it's difficult, but how will I know if I don't try?" he asked.

Mu Yunxian took two steps closer and looked at him carefully: "I once claimed that I knew what human beings are like, but later I felt that was not the case. When I see you like this, I can't tell the difference even more."

He placed a plate in front of this human being and said: "This is the bottom of the Nether Water, where the Yin Qi is the strongest. No fire can be ignited. You can only eat some cold food - I know you are a ghost now, so there is no need." Whatever food you eat, these things contain spiritual energy and you will feel better if you eat them.”

The other party thanked him, and Mu Yunxian went out.

Chongming got down from the book and called out to him.

Mu Yunxian touched Chongming's feathers and whispered, "I can't even tell who I am."

He once thought that the owner of this shell wanted to see what humans were like because he had never seen one before. After staying here for three years, Mu Yunxian discovered that it was because he had seen too much.

Being baptized by the most complex emotions of human beings every day, even after seeing too much, Mu Yunxian can no longer remember what human beings are like, and even has doubts about whether he himself was once a human being - the appearance of this human soul , gave him a novel feeling.

The human ghost rested in the room for a day and then came out. When he learned about his current situation, his first reaction was to come to Mu Yunxian.

When he found Mu Yunxian, Mu Yunxian had just devoured a memory and was sitting under a tree digesting it with a cup of tea in his hand. Seeing him coming, Mu Yunxian said, "Sit down."

"I..." He paused for two seconds and said, "My name is Su Mo."

Mu Yunxian poured him a cup of tea and said, "Mu Yunxian."

"Mr. Mu...you..." Su Mo said, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Mu Yunxian raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "There really is. Not far from here, there is a low-level water snake. I have to lure him over and let me kill him. However, he is much more powerful than the half-soul here. ”

Su Mo paused for two seconds without saying anything. Mu Yunxian looked at him and said, "If you don't go, even if you are protected by me, you won't be able to get out of the Nether Water in three to five hundred years."

Su Mo asked: "Why?"

"Although that water snake is more powerful than half-souls, he can't defeat so many half-souls, so he won't come near here. As for me, I can't leave here." Mu Yunxian said slowly: "He is The most suitable one is for me to kill and upgrade. If you lure it here, I can take you away quickly, otherwise you and I will waste time here."

Su Mo said urgently: "Okay."

This time it was Mu Yunxian's turn to be surprised. He looked at Su Mo and said, "But, I will take you out when you are ready."

Perhaps because he completely believed Mu Yunxian's words and wanted to leave too urgently, he came to see Mu Yunxian within a few hours. Mu Yunxian took him out of the library. Seeing the dense crowd of half-souls around him, Su Mo took two steps back in shock.

Most of the half-hundreds hid in panic when they saw Mu Yun approaching, except for one, who was still smiling foolishly when he saw them approaching. He muttered something in his mouth.

Mu Yunxian listened there with great interest for a few seconds. After hearing what he said, he suddenly smiled: "It's another tragic incident. The owner of this memory was killed by his friends. He entered the ghost world and lost his life." Memory, that’s probably the end of this bad debt.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Su Mo. Su Mo seemed to feel the same and remained silent while Mu Yunxian continued to lead him forward.

There was a weaker one in front, holding a stick and rushing towards them as if desperate.

Mu Yunxian reached up to Chongming on his shoulder and slapped him away.

After seeing all kinds of crazy people, Su Mo was not afraid anymore. When he left the place where the half-souls lived, looking at the dark water in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a new sense of timidity.

Mu Yunxian looked at him and said, "Are you afraid?"

"So what if I'm afraid, don't I still have to go?" Su Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Is it possible that I will die in this hellish place?"

After saying that, he floated out. Mu Yunxian looked at his back and murmured: "It's really interesting..." He smiled again and said: "It doesn't matter how much I hate it, most people just throw away these memories. After looking at him, Only then did I vaguely remember what it was like to be a human being..."
