Ring of Seven [Online Version]

Chapter 33 The Illusion of Life and Death

Ye Wei's tone was very cold, as if the one who died was just an outsider rather than his own brother.This is emotionally unacceptable.

The fat man couldn't help but sneered and said, "No, you just joined the group not long ago, so you may not know about our situation. Gu Lao and Lao Zhao are also two of the seven. Aren't they still alive?"

Ye Wei didn't answer directly, but looked at Chen Hao. Chen Hao touched his chin helplessly and said, "That's true, but is it that simple? And you have overlooked one person, and this person may be able to explain Mr. Gu's situation." The secret of the two of them. And if this hypothesis is true, it can also explain the meaning of Ye Ting's last sentence that he will not really die, and connect the previous scattered clues into a thread."

Fat San asked, "Who is it?"

Chen Hao said: "Your good brother, Lao Jiu."

Speaking of Lao Jiu, Zhou Jue and the others flashed many complex expressions in their eyes. For Lao Jiu, Zhou Jue and the others, the horror was even more profound. After all, he was a classmate who had lived with him for so long.All three of them were immediately discouraged.

Zhou Jue asked helplessly: "Do you mean that there is any connection between the situations of Gu Lao, Lao Zhao and Lao Jiu? Or are they actually all in the same situation? Teacher, my wisdom is limited, please use the nine-year compulsory education level Let me explain to you at a higher level. Advanced ones are unnecessary.”

Chen Hao nodded towards him, and paused for a moment, as if he was really thinking about how to organize his words.He coughed a few times and said, "If my guess is correct, Lao Jiu, Lao Zhao, and Gu Lao all died once. As for Lao Jiu, why did he die? The students all know it."

Zhou Jue's heart twitched, he looked at Fat San and Thin Monkey, Fat San really raised his hand like a schoolboy and shouted: "Because he was attacked by that blood?"

Chen Hao nodded and said, "If that's the case, that thing will find us after reading this book. By the way, Zhou Jue, do you still remember the first time you saw the man with the knife?"

Zhou Jue nodded and suddenly realized something, and said, "You mean..."

Chen Hao forced a smile and said, "That's right, those people should all be like Lao Jiu, who died once but came back to life... because in Rulan's diary records and the clips you saw, the surname Gao It is very likely that the man who hid the knife, and he should have died. In addition, the only difference between these people is the influence on the outside world. Two are resurrected from the dead, while the other two are news of death from illness. In a sense, they all pretended to be ordinary people or ordinary dead people as much as possible. No one would doubt such a setting."

Fat San bit his thumb in fright and said, "Damn, technical fraud? But what's the reason?"

Chen Hao continued: "Don't interrupt, let me continue. In addition, everything around them has changed after they died and resurrected. People around them will not find out that they died once or resurrected after death. Just like The plot has been completely tampered with, no matter whether the environment is set to be alive or dead, no matter how tampered with it will still leave clues, such as Lao Jiu's crappy lies, and his weird changes later. So we, the authorities, are the only ones A living person who knows the truth."

Zhou Jue tried hard to recall the scene of Lao Jiu before he jumped off the building, and many details have become blurred.But he remembered a very crucial point, that is, I didn't read that sentence, I don't know, let me go.He thought about the plot of the story again.He said: "Brother Chen, I thought of a possibility, can you see if it's possible."

Zhou Jue said with uncertain eyes: "This book and this clay tablet will actually be attracted by those blood."

"how to explain?"

Zhou Jue said: "Think about it, Lao Jiu was the one who was still reading at the end, and we heard Lao Jiu's last words at the door of the dormitory to let me go, I didn't read it, I don't know. That means he is talking to people Beg for mercy. So what about that thing? Do you still remember the smell of blood and the vague shadow of the person you smelled when you rushed into the room? Didn’t you find that smell very similar to the smell you smelled before, or In fact, almost every time we encounter danger, that smell will faintly appear. I think that is the danger that people in the book have been avoiding. They are also avoiding this thing. And when they are avoiding, there is no such thing as the so-called ring of seven This book, some are just clay tablets, so I think this book is an extension of the clay tablet.”

When Zhou Jue said this, he stopped, and everyone sank into their own memories. From the faces of everyone, Zhou Jue understood that everyone felt this way.

The thin monkey said, "Do you still remember how Cui Niang dealt with Hu Zi's corpse in the story?"

Zhou Jue said, "Destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces."

Fat San said in disbelief, "How is it possible? Could it be that the living are all zombies? So what explanation do Chen Rulan and Ye Ting have? The tragic men and women who escaped the clutches of the devil? Did they succeed in their death? Didn't they become demons? Don’t you find it contradictory? I think our route must be wrong. There is also the issue of the time of death, and the difference is too much.”

Chen Hao shook his head and denied: "Our clues should be correct. The deaths of the two of them must be related to their failure in the end, otherwise we would never have come here. The best proof is that we found the past Lin Xu and Rulan's route. We are in this village now, and Rulan's ability to hide until now is probably related to Ye Ting. These two people are different. She understands that under such circumstances, she can only choose to keep all kinds of clues that can be kept. Dodge that force and give us the biggest clue. She is the only one of the many thrusts that is sure to be beneficial to us. I am not sure about the other clues. After all, this book feels not only evil, but also a kind of An indescribable feeling..."

Ye Wei, who had been silently acting as the audience, said at this time: "There is a legend in our clan..."

Ye Wei didn't care about other people's questioning eyes, but just continued as if talking to himself: "There is a legend in our family about the death of Liu Ziye, the deposed emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said among the people that he was killed by a ghost knife. But the content is varied, mainly because Liu Ziye is a real psychopath. He is dissolute, kills ministers, and fornicates the harem, to the point of completely losing human relations. One night he dreamed of a woman, and his heart became lustful. Just as he was about to pounce on him, he saw the woman covered in blood. Her face was pale, and she pointed at his nose and scolded him for being a sinner. She would not live long. The next morning, he really saw a maid who looked exactly like the one in the dream. He gave him a cold look, and he ordered the maid to be beheaded. The maid didn't struggle at all before she was executed, as if everything had nothing to do with him. But that night Liu Ziye had another dream, still It was the palace lady, still annoyed that he couldn't survive, and even threw her head at him. Liu Ziye looked at the head on the ground and sneered at him, just like the woman in the morning. She was frightened out of her wits and woke up suddenly , So I hurriedly took a large number of sacrificial wizards to the Zhulin Hall in Hualin Garden during the day.

Moreover, the story recorded in historical materials is that Liu Ziye was killed at that time by the chief Yi Shoujizhi, the internal supervisor Wang Daolong, the academic officer Li Daoer, and the Zhige general Liu Guangshi, who were secretly allied with Liu Ziye, the king of eastern Hunan.But... because the ancestors of this family were one of the wizards who participated in the ghost killing sacrifice, we have kept a secret about Liu Ziye's murder.

Because the age is too long, so now we can understand only one-third of the content.It is similar to say that Liu Ziye led 50 male and female wizards and 300 colorful girls at that time.Go to Hualin Garden Bamboo Forest Hall.Liu Ziye shot three arrows into the sky, and then all the wizards shot arrows one after another, just when Liu Ziye thought that the female ghost had been killed.When he was about to lead everyone to drive back to the palace, a woman suddenly rushed out from his team of maids. This woman grabbed Liu Ziye's arm and refused to let him go.Liu Ziye immediately stabbed the maid with the arrow in his hand. The maid was covered in blood, but she still didn't let go.Suddenly he realized that this woman was the court lady who was beheaded by him yesterday, why he didn't recognize her before.Liu Ziye was shocked and yelled that he met a female ghost, save her, and then Shou Jizhi and others had arrived, and Liu Ziye missed the time to escape.Can't even draw a bow.The person who was rushed up was killed with a knife.

And my ancestors saw that at this moment, the woman kept pulling Liu Ziye until Liu Ziye died. how's it going.This is just a secret hidden in our ancestral record.

But the ancestors believed that people who have died once can indeed be resurrected.And the people around will forget the fact that he died, and this person will continue to live as a half-human, half-ghost, and the only people who know whether they are dead are those who participated in the sacrifices of those rituals and had direct contact with their death. relationship people.Otherwise, even if someone dies, they will not know whether this person has died or not. "

Ye Wei added: "I think the confusion of life and death is just a form, the purpose is to guide each group of seven people to follow their designated route. There is a very big advantage of using this method, that is, no matter how the surrounding situation changes , has no effect on them. Because the surrounding things have long been isolated from them. No matter what emperor is in power, no matter what social form is, it doesn’t matter, and they can continue.”

Fat San covered his face and tried not to let himself twitch, saying: "Fuck, it's too funny, it's so nonsense."

Zhou Jue said: "Weird? Could it be that their cosplay is black and white? Or are they standing by the bookshelf like a yaksha? Brother, that's a library, not a funeral parlor. Besides, if we didn't realize that the old nine died, otherwise you would Think that old nine who gave you two packs of raisins is a monster?"

Fat San was rarely angry when he heard Zhou Jue's rebuttal. Instead, he thought seriously and said, "What you said makes sense. According to what you said, it is true. If it weren't for the parties involved, they wouldn't know whether they were dead or alive. So...you say we..."

Chen Hao quickly interrupted his wild thoughts and said: "It's nothing we, if you die, we will be the first to know, do you have any memories of your own death in your memory? No, we can only know if others It’s really just dead... Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Anyway, that book was the first contact point between the last group of seven people and us. The question now is what kind of existence are those people who came back from the dead What happens to them when we solve the mystery? We have to be careful, but not be confused. I think there are too many hidden threads in this."

Ye Wei suddenly became energetic and said: "Indeed, Chen Rulan was able to ensure such a state through the help of Ye Ting, and gave us these hints and clues. And you are very lucky to have me. So even if I die, I will let you die." You are really dead. Everyone remember to write a copy of your last words and leave it to me, and I will set up a clue transfer station for you that is better than Ye Ting."

The thin monkey couldn't help but slapped him on the back of the head, but Ye Wei's sensitivity was too high, so the thin monkey's lightning attack only swept across the ends of his hair, and the thin monkey scolded angrily: "You can't fucking let it go!" What is open and closed is the suicide note, suicide note, your sister! Our purpose is to save our lives and get rid of this perverted situation. It is not to ask you to find us a place to commit suicide!"

Ye Wei sighed and was about to speak helplessly, but Ye Wei really didn't say anything after the thin monkey glared at him.

Seeing this scene, Fat San pulled Zhou Jue's sleeve quietly, and whispered in his ear: "These two are very familiar now, I have only seen the thin monkey's posture on a few of us, and he couldn't see it in the past." Is it just to ignore the pleasing to the eye direct pumping?"

Zhou Jue pursed his lips and thought for a long time, then said, "I guess he's familiar... haven't you noticed that Ye Wei is not as ET as before?"

The thin monkey heard the two muttering, glared at them and said, "Then what should we do? What should we do next?"

The five people returned to silence again, and the bleak autumn atmosphere in the woods enveloped the surroundings.The black cat was lying quietly in Ye Wei's arms, and it looked at the five people with a half-smile in its eyes, but it didn't make a sound.

So, what to do next has become their biggest problem.

Now the news about Chen Rulan and Ye Ting is over.And all the clues that can be confirmed now are that there is one person who betrayed everyone, and the other is the mystery of Cui Niang's life and death.As for those who died and resurrected, there is really no way to be sure, but Lao Jiu and Uncle Yin are indeed resurrected after death.If that's the case, Gu Lao and Lao Zhao might only exist to guard the seven-person ring, so now... are they still alive?Zhou Jue didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.He keeps recalling his memory, only hoping to find some traces and clues from the past.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Jue said in a low voice, "How about... shall we continue reading?"

There was a trace of panic in Fat San's eyes, and he twitched the corners of his eyes and said: "Now? Are there still ghosts in front? I don't think it's appropriate..."

Only at this time did Zhou Jue realize that they were still in this deserted forest, but the sky was getting darker and darker.The few of them plus a cat have not eaten or drank all day. Reading in this state is tantamount to looking for death.

Zhou Jue looked at the sky and said, "Go back first, we can't spend the night here, otherwise it's too dangerous."

Chen Hao looked at his watch and said, "That's right, we're out of time. It's [-]:[-] in the afternoon. Let's go back quickly. I'll call my contact person in Nanjing in advance, and he will bring what I need. "

Fat San looked around, and said sinisterly, "How do I go back? What if the paper man army appears again halfway?"

The thin monkey pointed at Ye Wei who was holding the cat and admiring the autumn scenery.Fat San immediately nodded and understood what he meant.Zhou Jue looked around suspiciously, always felt that there was something left, but now he really needed to leave, at least they had got all the clues left by Ru Lan, at least he thought they were all.But can these clues really be called clues?He was puzzled, although Zhou Jue and Ye Wei's explanation had their reasons and basis.But he still felt that many problems were vaguely mentioned. These problems may be concealed from him by Chen Hao, but what is the reason?The first thing that flashed in his mind was that Chen Hao didn't trust him.He glanced at Chen Hao uneasily, and the faint suspicion in his heart made him unable to be at peace.He said as if giving up on himself: "Let's go, go back first, and then talk about it when you go back."

Just in case, Ye Wei became the leader.The group of people was very weird. Although the man in the lead said he looked very gentle, he held the cat in his hand and talked to it from time to time, and showed a very harmless smile.And the person behind him has a darker face, as if everyone in this world owes them 500 million.They are just going to collect debts from all over the world.

Such a team feels a bit chill in the metamorphosis.Unexpectedly, the road to the meeting was very calm, and I didn't even see a piece of paper.But Zhou Jue also noticed that this road was not the one they came from, because he didn't see the fake grave where Chen Rulan's bones were placed.

Ye Wei led the crowd with a peaceful face, turning east and west, and gradually they found the alley where they came, and then they gradually heard the sound of cooking and women's voices, and continued walking, and they smelled the aroma of food, At this time, Fat San's stomach started to play the symphony first, followed by others...

Finally, when they walked out of the alley and came to the main road of the town, they finally found the small guest house.At this time, the proprietress's whole family was burning things at the door.

Seeing a few people come back with disgrace, she frowned and asked, "How did you do this?"

Chen Hao said: "We got lost in the woods. Can the proprietress provide dinner? We are all very hungry. When the car comes to pick us up after eating, we will pay the bill and leave."

The middle-aged woman took the white flower off her head and threw it into the fire. The tongue of fire swallowed up the white spot in an instant. She said to us, "OK, I'll get you some wontons to eat."

Zhou Jue quickly thanked: "Thank you, lady boss, we are starving to death and haven't eaten for a day."

The proprietress's wontons are very authentic. Although there are obviously more dishes than meat, this meal is quite satisfactory for Zhou Jue and the others.

After eating, a few people sat in the living room, and the proprietress made a bowl of fish head bibimbap for Xuanmao.Xuanmao also had a good time eating, and he was probably hungry too.In this way, everyone filled their stomachs and lit a cigarette each.But no one spoke, and there were many doubts and assumptions in everyone's mind.

At this time, the horn of the car suddenly sounded at the entrance of the guest house, and Chen Hao said, "Someone is here."

The author has something to say: Hehe, let everyone wait for a long time.The Chinese New Year is almost over.Here I hope that everyone will have a smooth year this year.This chapter is mainly to summarize some of the previous clues, and many people will think that I am in the last chapter.Why do you say that the first batch of people are all dead.In fact, it is very simple, you will understand after reading this chapter.The so-called death is for normal people.That is to say, those who can really get rid of the ring of seven are dead.Because there needs to be an heir.This is the meaning that appeared in the novel, that is, there must be a successor.This is the rule of the game.It couldn't be broken, even if Chen Rulan used her life to block it, she could only go so far.She places the final clue on Cui Niang, and these strange villages in the story are also a hint of Chen Rulan.As for whether Chen Hao can really understand the meaning of Chen Rulan, please read the following chapters.If you have any questions about the ring of seven, please send an email to [email protected], thank you for your support~ hug~~
