In the middle of the night, Qin Manjiang and the three of them finally found a B&B, and they had to pay more to let them stay.
However, when Qin Manjiang told the owner that he only needed one room, he still received some very subtle looks.
Entering the room, Qin Manjiang couldn't stand for a long time. He sat down on the ground. Yu Qinghuan was put on the bed by Nie Yunzhen, who was still unconscious.
He glanced at Nie Yunzhen. If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have wanted to ask Nie Yunzhen what was going on. Why did he suddenly seem to be a different person?
Nie Yunzhen seemed to feel his gaze and turned to look at him, with some undisguised doubts on his face.
This is indeed the Nie Yunzhen I first met...
Qin Manjiang shook his head at her and said, "Just rest, this Game has just begun."
Nie Yunzhen nodded and slept next to Yu Qinghuan in his clothes.
After seeing her get off, Qin Manjiang's eyes fell back to his arms.
Not only this arm, but also the flesh and blood of the limbs are constantly being lost, as if an invisible straw has been inserted into the flesh and blood and is constantly sucking.
If it can't be stopped soon, he will die.
This is why he didn't stop Fan Cheng from investigating alone.
Although there are three days until the official start of Game, if this rate of limb atrophy continues, he will be so weak that he dies by tomorrow night at best.
Not only that, Yu Qinghuan's face is slowly changing into another person.
Since the beneficial information obtained by Nie Yunzhen using Items is Opposite-Sex Teaming, then the situations that happened to him and Yu Qinghuan, as well as Xu Yi and Zhong Xueran cannot be viewed separately.
If nothing else, the moment when the male Player loses his flesh and blood and becomes weak to death is also the moment when Female Player completely turns into a ghost.
This is a common crisis, but at the same time, it is also a huge doubt.
As long as we figure out the correlation between the mutations between men and women Player, we should be able to find the hidden rule.
"Jiang Du, are you there?"
Qin Manjiang asked in his mind.
He knew that Jiang Du had woken up. In fact, whether he wanted to or not, he had to accept the fact that Jiang Du would wake up completely sooner or later and replace him as the real owner of this body.
"Of course."
Jiang Du's gentle response appeared in my mind.
"Ghost Story, what on earth is it?" Qin Manjiang asked the question that he had been wondering about for a long time.
"A boring Game that the final right of interpretation does not belong to humans." Jiang Du's voice echoed in Qin Manjiang's mind, without even the slightest hesitation or silence.
Obviously, this is the answer that Jiang Du has already thought about and confirmed.
"Is it really a Game?" Qin Manjiang is still puzzled.
"Yes." Jiang Du's voice was emotionless, "All actions have their logical motives. What do you think is the meaning of locking humans and ghosts under the same logical framework and letting them separate life and death?"
Jiang Du's question points to a direction that Qin Manjiang has never considered.
Yes... again and again, one after another, so many Ghost Storys, so many Players who died among them, what is the meaning of [Eye Realm]'s existence?
It makes no sense.
"Same as Colosseum, this is just a Game of Higher-ups, just slaves and beasts, replaced by humans and Vengeful Ghost."
Jiang Du spoke in an understatement, but Qin Manjiang could still hear the contempt in his voice.
"In the final analysis, the God they talk about, no matter how incredible his innate abilities are, is essentially just a boring and low-level fool."
Qin Manjiang nodded in agreement.
"Is there a final winner for Game?" Qin Manjiang asked curiously.
"Maybe," this time, Jiang Du did not give a definite answer. After a moment, his voice was filled with a smile, "Maybe the so-called god is the final winner last time?"
"He passed the last Ghost Story, and then he became the biggest and most terrifying Ghost Story."
Jiang Du seemed to have thought of something funny, "Isn't it often the case? The story of a dragon slayer becoming an evil dragon."
"By the way, this time [Wedding Dress], you have to be careful not to get caught up in the story and ignore the original logic."
"Are you kindly reminding me?" Qin Manjiang asked.
"I just don't want you to damage my body." Jiang Du's voice paused for a moment before replying.
"I said, we don't need to fight to the death. Since you were able to create me twenty years ago, I can help you create a more perfect body twenty years later, right?" Qin Manjiang tried to say.
He didn't want to get to the point of death with Jiang Du. Although it seemed strange to say it, this person named Jiang Du, deep down in his heart, Qin Manjiang did not dislike him.
"Haha..." Jiang Du suddenly laughed, "With my personality, if I could create your body, you would definitely not be the only one."
Qin Manjiang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was right.
This body was supposed to be unconscious, and it was supposed to be a container prepared by Jiang Du for himself to be resurrected twenty years later, but instead the soul "Qin Manjiang" was born.
If Jiang Du has the ability to create a body, let's not talk about why he doesn't change the appearance of this body to avoid enemies and other things. The mere fact that there is only one "Qin Manjiang" is enough to explain the problem.
This shows that... his body was not created by Jiang Du. He only passively acquired "a body".
"Can you tell me how you got it?" Qin Manjiang was particularly curious.
This time, Jiang Du was silent.
He was silent for a long time.
Just when Qin Manjiang thought he wouldn't answer this question, he suddenly heard him say, "The human soul is unique, personality, experience, desire, bloodline... the combination of various factors can create a unique Permanent Item that is exclusive to Player. This special uniqueness cannot be changed or controlled by even the so-called God."
"You... are my Permanent Item."
Jiang Du's voice flashed into Qin Manjiang's brain like a thunderbolt, making his eyes go white.
"You think your Permanent Item is the Doll named [I]. I did something wrong, right?"
Jiang Du said loudly.
"So you gave it to Mr. Fan Cheng who went to explore alone tonight, wanting to verify the connection between me and [I]."
Jiang Du expressed Qin Manjiang's inner thoughts with almost no concealment.
"Unfortunately, I didn't use any hands or feet. At this time, I don't have that ability."
His voice was not loud, but it was imprinted in Qin Manjiang's mind word for word.
"Back then, the Permanent Item I awakened was... a Doll named [I]."
"As it absorbed more and more of my emotions, it became me, and I... was no longer me."
"It changed from a Doll to a living Baby. I can definitely feel the connection between me and it. Although I am scared, I am also happy because I know... I have an extra life."
"I will send it to other cities, away from Ghost Story Game of Moon City, to grow well..."
"In twenty years, it grew into a great young man, maybe Fate, and that young man got involved in Ghost Story Game in the new city."
"After experiencing life and death and obtaining enough Spirit Pupil, the young man also obtained his own Permanent Item."
"Or it is... a Doll named [I]."
