Chapter 334

Noticing this non-existent hug, Li Ang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the little girl's situation with his peripheral vision.

Although the dead little girl did not stop, the tears on her face had disappeared, her terrified expression had become more stable, and her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, opened again, quietly shedding fear and sadness, and she was curiously looking at the road ahead.

"In the world of the living, flesh is real and the soul is untouchable, while the Dead Realm does not recognize the existence of flesh, only the soul. Flesh, on the contrary, becomes something that cannot be touched."

After spreading out her palm to show Li Ang the tear stains on it, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma explained softly:

"The soul and flesh of the living are inseparable, so in the Dead Realm, they become something that almost doesn't exist. Only things like will, belief, or emotion can have an impact on other dead people.

As long as there is no particularly strong desire to touch a certain dead person, we in the Dead Realm are just a breeze with a fixed shape."

After explaining the situation just now, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma turned slightly to look at Li Ang and instructed seriously:

"In addition, your soul strength is not high yet. Remember not to touch those dead people who look special, such as those with faces full of resentment, those full of regrets, or those wailing and crying.

The emotions carried by the souls of these dead people are too strong. After contacting them too much, it will affect the stability of your soul. If things go wrong, you will still feel uncomfortable for a long time after leaving the Dead Realm."

"I understand."

Looking at Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, whose face was still a bit pale but who was still patiently explaining the precautions to him, Li Ang couldn't help but nod slightly, and then his right hand, which was holding hers, gripped even harder.

He wanted to bring her the courage to fight against the Road of No Return by warming Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's cold palm, just like Auntie Auntie Ai Ma had just hugged the little girl and wiped away her tears.

'Don't worry, I'm here,' huh?

Through the palm tightly held with Li Ang, after vaguely feeling his inner thoughts, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's eyes warmed slightly. She then took a deep breath, gripped Li Ang's palm, which was full of determination, and stepped toward the black and white stone bridge not far away.

【Name: Black and White Bridge (Memory, Memory)】

【Appearance: An ancient long bridge spanning the Huang Quan of the Dead Realm, paved with black and white bricks. After stepping onto the bridge, every time you step on a new brick, you will review a part of your life.】

【Ability: Happy Memories, Painful Memories】

【Cost: None】

【File: After the Dead Realm's ruler, the "Faceless Man," died, he squeezed out all the memories of his long life, classified them according to happiness and pain, and made them into black and white stone bricks.

These black and white stone bricks, which will constantly change, have completely different effects. After stepping on a white stone brick, you will recall happy experiences in your life; after stepping on a black stone brick, you will recall painful experiences in your life...】

【Evaluation: Just like people cannot know whether their next life will be happy or sad, before truly setting foot, no one can know whether this brick is black or white.

No one's life will be full of tears forever, and no one's life can be full of laughter forever. Only after personally experiencing all the joys, sorrows, and bitterness can one be considered to have truly lived this life.】

【Contamination Value: Remains the same as the user.】

A memory player?

Habitually reaching out to touch the railing of the stone bridge, after getting the information about the 【Black and White Bridge】, Li Ang couldn't help but look at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma beside him with worry.

If his guess was correct, the reading range of the 【Black and White Bridge】 should be limited to the user's memory, and his memory of this world was only the last three years.

Although he started running around to make a living as soon as his body recovered after his illness, and encountered many ugly and dirty situations, and had many difficult and unbearable memories, because of the existence of his younger brother and sister, overall it was barely considered happy. Although those pains were unforgettable, they still failed to cover up the warmth in his heart.

The only thing that made him unbearably painful was the time Anna coughed up blood in the middle of the night and hoped he would hide the news of her death so he could continue to "defraud" the pension, and because he joined the Cleanup Bureau, he was able to avoid this result.

So for him, the effect of the 【Black and White Bridge】 would actually not be too difficult. Even if he really couldn't hold on, as long as he thought about his current life, he should be able to barely cope.

But Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma...

After thinking about the big tree at the entrance of Baohua Manor, Li Ang couldn't help but fall into deep silence.

With her entire clan executed and only her and her daughter left, even if she was lucky enough to step on a white stone brick at every step and only relive those beautiful memories, once she recalled the final outcome, it would bring even deeper torture.

And Auntie Auntie Ai Ma on the side obviously knew this point. Even before truly stepping onto the 【Black and White Bridge】, just imagining the scenes she might see after getting on the bridge, her lips had already been bitten white.

"Why don't... I go up first?"

After being silent for a while, Li Ang suggested:

"I just touched the railing. It seems that once a brick is stepped on by someone, it won't change again. I can go on the Black and White Bridge first and help you step on all those white bricks. This way, you should be able to feel a little more comfortable."

After hearing Li Ang's suggestion, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's pale lips moved, seemingly wanting to refuse, not wanting Li Ang to bear painful memories for her.

But before she could refuse, a sense of relaxation from the bottom of her heart, mixed with thick guilt, passed directly into Li Ang's heart along the palms they held tightly together.

"Then it's settled!"

After squeezing Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's palm hard and passing the thought of 'it's okay' and 'I'm willing to do this for you' back, Li Ang took a deep breath and stepped onto the black and white stone bridge with big strides.

White brick.

When Li Ang's foot landed, the somewhat foggy bridge surface of the Black and White Bridge suddenly became clear. A white brick that could barely accommodate one adult's foot appeared plainly and warmly under Li Ang's feet.

Thank you, really thank you!

After squeezing Li Ang's palm hard, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, whose eyes were exceptionally soft, stood on tiptoe, tried hard to take a step forward, and stepped lightly on the edge of the white brick that Li Ang had given up.

"Big brother, you're back!"

After her toes landed, the world in front of her suddenly darkened. Auntie Auntie Ai Ma found herself standing in a pitch-black alley. Every muscle in her body that could exert force was jumping with pain, and the exhaustion that made her want to die tortured her until her eyes went black.

And in this world where both reality and flesh were overflowing with darkness, the only thing that was still shining was the dim little oil lamp in the distance, and the fair and thin face of the young girl who was full of surprise, illuminated by the oil lamp.
