289. Chapter 289: Truth Revealed
Li Yi looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes filled with shock, and even the hand holding the cracked short stick couldn't help but tremble, because he recognized this person, but not from this world, but from the Ghost Post Office after he crossed dimensions to World No. 36 last time.
At that time, he was a messenger on the third floor, and this person was also a messenger on the third floor, and also a ghost-driver. If he remembered correctly, this person's name seemed to be Yang Jian.
Could it be that the Ghost Post Office also had cross-dimensional business and delivered mail to this world?
Or could it be that this person was sent by the Ghost Post Office specifically to find him, wanting to pull him back to continue being a messenger with a high death rate?
For a moment, he thought of a lot.
"Li Yi, didn't expect us to meet so soon," Yang Wei revealed a smile.
"Yang Jian, how could you appear here? Were you sent by the Ghost Post Office?" Li Yi suppressed the astonishment in his heart and asked immediately.
Yang Wei said: "I am not called Yang Jian. In this world, I am called Yang Wei. If you like, you can call me A-Wei. As for why I appeared here, you can go to my world, why can't I come to your world? As for the Ghost Post Office, it is estimated that it won't exist for long. According to time estimation, at most in another month, the Ghost Post Office will become history and completely perish. The new manager will transform it into an apartment."
"The messenger's curse will completely disappear. You don't need to worry too much."
"You weren't sent by the Ghost Post Office? So, you also crossed dimensions over?" Li Yi said, while thinking in his mind whether that cross-dimensional team was unlucky and caught, leading to the exposure of cross-dimensional information.
But even if the information was exposed, people from World No. 36 shouldn't be able to open the cross-dimensional gate.
"Something like that. However, I was sent over by someone," Yang Wei said, walking to the side of the charred corpse, reaching out and picking it up: "Li Yi, you and I are still a bit similar, both unfortunate people, entangled by spiritual anomalies, living a hard life, and even memory has been affected."
"Every time you are about to come into contact with the truth, the power of spiritual anomaly will tamper with your memory, letting you accept a false fact."
While speaking, he threw it away casually.
The charred corpse flew out and landed in the remaining fire that hadn't been extinguished.
The firelight stained the charred corpse and flared up again instantly.
The corpse twisted and wailed in the raging fire, looking extremely creepy. However, no matter how the fire burned, the charred corpse still existed. It couldn't be burned out, nor could it be killed. It was just that with the jumping of the bizarre flames, although the charred corpse revived, it was restrained and couldn't use some kind of power to kill people as unscrupulously as before.
"That's right. Ghosts should be thrown into hell to suffer the pain of burning forever," Yang Wei nodded.
However, as this fierce ghost was burned by the flames, Li Yi's expression changed slightly. He covered his head, staggered, and some fragmented memories suddenly emerged in his mind. These memories seemed to have been locked for a long time, and now the shackles were opened. And as the memory that had been tampered with and disappeared appeared again, he gradually understood all this.
"That charred corpse is my mother? No, that's not right, it's a ghost, a ghost from your world," he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Cognition was in conflict, and memories were intertwined.
He couldn't distinguish what the truth was. Li Yi felt that everything seemed very reasonable, but everything was so absurd.
Yang Wei looked at the twisting charred corpse and said calmly: "Your story has to start from six years ago. Six years ago, two strange souls crossed dimensions and came to what you call World No. 36. It's just that these two souls were very unlucky. The location of their appearance wasn't reality, but the other end of the Yin-Yang Road, a place of spiritual anomaly. The result naturally didn't need to be said. They were targeted by a terrifying fierce ghost. The two unlucky souls tried to escape back to their original world and get rid of the ghost's attack."
"But it's a pity, the ghost also followed. The result was that one died, and one was forced to cross dimensions again to escape."
"The soul that died was your mother, and the soul that escaped was your father. This ghost, after killing your mother, disguised itself as your mother. If anyone discovered its disguise, then it would be equivalent to triggering its killing rule, and it would kill the person who discovered it."
"What kind of joke is this? I will believe such an absurd story? My mother was replaced by a ghost? I know the ghosts in your world, would it lie in the medical pod so honestly?" Li Yi covered his head and roared loudly.
Fragmented memories were still emerging.
Yang Wei said: "I said, this ghost likes to disguise itself. It disguised itself as your mother, but your mother was a Silent One who lost her soul, so the ghost also became a silent ghost. It restricted itself. During the period, the ghost also woke up. You might have also discovered abnormalities, it's just that for the ghost's disguise to continue, it would tamper with the memory and cognition of people nearby."
"Just like that, you lived with a ghost for a full six years."
The truth was revealed, and not only was Li Yi shocked, but even Lin Yue couldn't believe it.
There was still such a bizarre thing?
Li Yi's parents had crossed dimensions to World No. 36? And accidentally brought back a ghost? That ghost, after killing his mother, disguised itself as his mother and lived together?
Although bizarre, recalling the various phenomena before, Lin Yue felt that what this person named Yang Wei said shouldn't be fake.
After all, he was a person who came over from World No. 36.
"My memory was indeed changed, but some fragmented memories let me see some special situations. I encountered danger, but my mother saved me..." Li Yi's figure swayed. The emergence of memory and the impact of reality made him almost collapse.
Yang Wei said: "The ghost disguised itself as your mother, and a mother protecting her child is a very normal thing, right? If the ghost didn't do this, its disguise would be seen through. This is the killing rule of a fierce ghost, so protecting you wasn't its original intention, but it needed a better disguise."
"Ah!! I don't believe it."
Li Yi roared at this moment. He couldn't accept the cruel result of his persistence over these years.
"It is indeed difficult to accept, but your true mother has already died. Six years ago, she was already killed by this ghost. The person you persisted in, its essence is just a fierce ghost, a terrifying fierce ghost that will kill you immediately if you discover the truth," Yang Wei said.
"I still don't believe it. And, why do you know so clearly?"
Li Yi covered his head at this moment. With his heart and mind lost, he couldn't control his blood. His eyes were red, and his killing intent fluctuated, as if he was about to fall into the demonic path.
Perhaps the remnant thought in the Dao coins had long anticipated today's result, which was why it had always said that Li Yi would enter the demonic path, it was just a matter of time.
Under such truth and such a blow, no one could remain indifferent.
"Why do I know?"
Yang Wei pondered for a while and said: "From the moment I woke up, these things have always appeared in my mind. As for the reason, you have to go to Dachang City, Guanjiang Community, in World No. 36, and ask the real Yang Jian. No, it should be to ask Yang Jian, the only one of that era."
"You are not Yang Jian? Then who are you? A substitute created by spiritual anomaly?" Li Yi stared at him with red eyes.
He had also created a substitute, sending mail for himself in the Ghost Post Office.
He knew a little bit about the magic of spiritual anomaly power.
"It can't be said to be a substitute either."
Yang Wei said: "This seems a bit difficult to understand, but the general situation is that I carry a part of his memory, but not all of it, so I can only be a part of him. He opened the cross-dimensional gate and let me come to this world to find a path to solve the fierce ghost."
"Today I was walking on the street, drinking cola, singing songs, and as a result, I smelled the scent of spiritual anomaly. I investigated and saw that it was you, this unlucky egg. Hmm, can't say that about you either. I am also very unlucky. There was once a ghost that disguised itself as my father, sitting in my house reading the newspaper."
Li Yi took a deep breath. He tried to calm down, but his brain was in chaos, because there were too many irrationalities in the whole matter, but it didn't prevent the fact that the truth had been revealed. Although he couldn't believe it no matter what, the emergence of the tampered memory also proved this point.
It was just that what he couldn't accept was that his mother had already passed away long ago, and his father, because of the ghost, was forced to cross dimensions and escape, and his soul hadn't returned to this day, not knowing where he was lost in which world.
"Li Yi, don't be too excited. Put the truth and such aside for now. The most important thing is that we passed this crisis and survived with no surprises, right?" At this moment, Lin Yue walked up immediately to comfort him, not wanting Li Yi to have problems because of this cruel truth.
"Lin Jie, I... I'm fine for now." Li Yi looked at the charred black corpse twisting in the firelight, his expression changing constantly.
Just at this moment, Zhang Songlin in the sky landed abruptly.
He witnessed the whole process and also knew the ins and outs of the matter. Looking at Yang Wei at this moment, he asked immediately: "Since you are a cross-dimensional traveler and know so clearly about this fierce ghost, you should know how to handle this thing, right? Can you talk about it? This dry corpse is so bizarre, it hasn't died after burning until now, nor has it perished. I am worried that it will revive from the ashes in the future and cause a great disaster again."
"Get some gold, make a box, and seal it up. As long as you don't open it, I guarantee you will be fine for a lifetime," Yang Wei said.
"Use gold to seal it?" Zhang Songlin nodded: "Good, you wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After speaking, his body rose into the air again, and he flew away in the blink of an eye.
"Can one fly after evolving to this level? It seems I still have to work hard," Yang Wei couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw him leave.
Soon.
Zhang Songlin came back again. He brought a large box. After the box was opened, it was filled with heavy gold. Subsequently, his hands glowed, lightning arcs jumped around, and a surging cosmic energy condensed. In an instant, a scorching aura appeared, and immediately after, the box of gold in front of him was melting at an unimaginable speed.
And the melted gold was lifted by a force, floating in the air.
"Catch." Yang Wei kicked, and the charred black corpse on the ground rose into the air.
"Go."
Zhang Songlin waved his hand, and the melted gold flew up, heading straight for the charred corpse. In just a moment, the melted gold wrapped it inside, and it was three layers inside and three layers outside, without leaving a single gap.
When the energy retreated and the high temperature dissipated, the gold cooled down.
Soon.
A heavy golden coffin fell heavily from mid-air.
The fierce ghost was thus sealed inside.
"Is this okay?" Zhang Songlin asked.
"Your craftsmanship is very good, and it's sealed very tightly. There will definitely be no problems," Yang Wei said and asked again: "How did you achieve manual metallurgy just now?"
"Energy is the foundation of everything. The soul manipulates energy, influences reality, and changes the form of matter. As long as you want, there is nothing you can't do. It changes in thousands of ways, but doesn't leave its origin. Once you understand it, you are an immortal," Zhang Songlin said.
"So that's it." Yang Wei lowered his head slightly and fell into thought. After a while, he raised his head and revealed a smile: "I understand."
"You understand just like that?" Zhang Songlin was a bit puzzled.
Such profound things were not easy to understand. ===== CHAPTER 287 =====
