Chapter 236: Egawa Hezi
Chen Qingyuan looked at the night sky in astonishment, only to see a crack of more than 300 meters in the sky. It was pitch black in the crack and nothing could be seen at all.
Extraterrestrial demon?
Alien visitors?
Or is it a rare natural phenomenon?
The ground was vibrating at a high frequency, as if a high-power motor was installed in the soil. A large number of pedestrians on the street fell down, and several cars even crashed into walls and telephone poles in order to avoid pedestrians.
Lin Zheng grabbed Chen Qingyuan's arm and said, "Hurry, hurry up, the earthquake is coming!"
Earthquakes are rare in Hong Kong, and people were in a panic...
Chen Qingyuan raised his finger and pointed at the 300-meter crack in the night sky and said, "Daoyou, do you see that crack coming?"
Lin Zheng looked up in the direction of his finger and said in confusion: "Cracks, there are no cracks. Let's leave here and go to the open ground."
Although he has made some progress in his cultivation, he will still be turned into a meat patty if he is hit by a building.
The sudden arrival of the earthquake caused great panic. People were tumbling and running around like headless flies. Fortunately, the earthquake came and went quickly. Except for some flower pots on the balcony being knocked over, there was no major damage...
People were speechless about this earthquake that seemed like a joke.
Only Chen Qingyuan kept staring at the crack in the sky, because there was a small figure standing next to the crack. He saw clearly that it was the woman again, the woman carrying the coffin...
A woman suspected to be the "slit-mouthed woman" in the island nation's urban legend.
I just saw it in the movie "The Ring" in the previous world, but I didn't expect to see it again in this world. It seems that this woman also has the ability to travel through the world, but I don't know if the crack in the night sky has anything to do with her...
The woman seemed to feel Chen Qingyuan's gaze. She slowly turned her head and spoke, looking down from above.
Chen Qingyuan's eyes widened.
He couldn't see the woman's expression or eyes from a distance, but for some reason he could clearly feel the emptiness and sadness coming from her...
sad?
Is it because of the man in the coffin behind her?
At this moment, the phone dinged and a text message came in. Chen Qingyuan picked it up and took a look. The content was: [Additional content: Expel the woman from this world]
This woman actually triggered the task on the phone.
Chen Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go and see what was going on with this woman.
"I'll go out and see."
"It's too dangerous. There may be aftershocks."
Seeing that Chen Qingyuan was about to leave, Lin Zheng tried to persuade him.
Earthquakes are very powerful. Just look at what happens to island countries every year.
Chen Qingyuan waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll be careful."
Lin Zheng had no choice but to give up. After all, they were all adults and had to pay for whatever decision they made.
……
Half an hour later.
Chen Qingyuan came to a mountain.
The woman was dressed the same as in the world of "The Ring", wearing a sweater, with a thick scarf wrapped around her face, mouth and nose, and several thin iron chains wrapped around her body, carrying a two-meter-long heavy coffin on her back.
The woman stood there, looking at the long crack in the darkness, and said, "You saw it too?"
Chen Qingyuan hummed: "It seems that only people with the ability to travel through time can see the existence of the crack. Do you know why this crack appeared?"
The woman spoke very simply: "This is a crack in the world. From the moment it appeared, the countdown to life in this world began."
Chen Qingyuan frowned and asked, "What evil force is this?"
The woman said, "No... it's just the normal exhaustion of life." "The world also has life?"
"Strictly speaking, no. It's just that for humans and other living things, their own destruction is the end of life. This world is about to stop functioning and no longer produce energy that is beneficial to humans. It may decompose and return to its origin, or it may fall into silence, but it doesn't matter anymore."
“Why did this happen?”
“Because it has no meaning anymore.”
"Can you tell me more about it?"
The woman slowly turned her head, the waning moonlight sprinkled on her face, revealing her delicate facial skin outside the scarf, and her eyes with long eyelashes, and her long black hair blowing in the breeze...
She said, "My name is Hezi, Jiangchuan Hezi."
Chen Qingyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Islander?"
Jiangchuan Hezi gently brushed away the hair on her forehead with her onion-like fingers and said, "As a time traveler with the ability to travel through various worlds, do you know... that these worlds are just created by movies, TV shows, animations, or novels in reality?"
Chen Qingyuan was a little surprised by such a frank conversation.
He also answered openly: "Yes, I know."
I heard Chen Qingyuan answer this.
Jiangchuan Hezi reached out to untie the black iron chain on his body and put down the heavy coffin. With a bang, the hard rock sank into a trapezoidal hole, and the coffin stood upright there.
She gently stroked the coffin lid, as if reminiscing, and said, "There are too many worlds, from the beginning to now, in all shapes and sizes, some prosperous, some deserted, some repetitive, and even many 'real worlds'. I can no longer tell which world can be regarded as 'real'..."
A short sentence, but with a huge amount of information.
Chen Qingyuan didn't ask in a hurry.
Sure enough, this woman named Egawa Hezi was lost in memories of the past, seeming to be telling a story, or perhaps talking in a sleep.
She said: "He created a boring 'travelers' game because of two boring gods, and emerged from thousands of travelers... He is very good, I thought he could make it to the end, but who knew... everything was just a 'playing with' game. The so-called travelers are just a group of pitiful people who are running with him..."
There's something of a Riddler about this woman.
Chen Qingyuan sat down on a rock nearby and said, "I am willing to be a listener. If I can use the language of ordinary people, I think I can understand it more deeply."
Jiangchuan Hezi was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Okay."
The wind messed up her hair again, but she didn't brush it away this time. She said calmly, "There are two women who call themselves gods. In order to find their 'boss' who has been shattered, they use their unique special abilities to distribute 'crossing items' in various worlds. The holders go on adventures according to the 'crossing mission' and will receive rewards if they complete the mission."
When Chen Qingyuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Why did they sound so similar?
The only thing missing is this woman reading out her ID card directly...
Jiangchuan Hezi noticed Chen Qingyuan's expression and continued, "Some of these time travelers carry out missions alone, some cooperate with others, and some even carry out confrontational missions, just like in video games.
At the end of the time-travel mission, all the travelers will be gathered in a small world for a battle royale, and the one who survives will be the winner.
It doesn't matter to the 'gods' who survives. They just use the spiritual power of the travelers and the travel objects to form a network in every real world to search for their bosses whose bodies are shattered and scattered in various worlds."
Chen Qingyuan probably understood and said, "So this person is..."
Jiangchuan Hezi's eyes were full of tenderness. She stretched out her hands and gently embraced the coffin and said, "His name is Xiao Zhi. He is my lover and also the time traveler who participated in the final melee...
And I... am just a derivative urban monster in the world of "The Ring" who happened to be redeemed by him."
monster.
Like Sadako?
Jiangchuan Hezi seemed to be able to hear Chen Qingyuan's question and said, "He is dead, and I am alive and have inherited everything from him, including the item that can travel through the world."
She raised her hand and saw a small metal hourglass hanging on her wrist, with red sand flowing in it.
