Chapter 102: Are There Any Other Reborn People Alive?

Suddenly, Su Yuanshan felt a sense of weakness he had never experienced before. He took out three ancient coins in front of him, and after forcing himself to endure the increasingly severe discomfort to barely set up a defensive array,

he felt his vision go black and he fell into a deep sleep!

In a daze, he felt as if he had arrived in a temple. Surrounded by swirling mist and fog, everything appeared extremely blurred.

The layout of this temple was also very simple.

Inside, there was only one small divine statue, and the statue was shrouded in mysterious thick smoke that could neither be dispersed nor blown away.

In front of the statue was a small offering table, and on the offering plaque were three items: one was a bronze lamp, the flame of which was like a bean, and the lamp oil inside seemed to be running dry, looking as if it were about to extinguish at any moment.

Another item was a white jade bottle, and the final item was a flower; however, this flower was just placed casually on the offering table and had not been put into the bottle!

At this moment, Su Yuanshan's heart was filled with confusion.

What kind of temple was this?

What kind of god was being worshipped?

Why had he come to such a place?

Gazing at the statue shrouded in smoke, Su Yuanshan had a sense of familiarity. The divine statue seemed to be right before his eyes, yet it also gave him the feeling of being worlds apart; this was a very contradictory phenomenon.

He could not clearly explain the specific reason for this.

He tried to walk toward the statue to observe it closely, but he discovered that no matter how he walked, it was very difficult to get any closer to it. He raised his head and tried to disperse the smoke around the statue, only to find his efforts were in vain.

Su Yuanshan stopped wasting his energy and instead shifted his gaze to the flower. The flower looked wilted and appeared as if it were about to wither!

Who on earth had placed this flower on the offering table?

Since someone wanted to make an offering to the god, why not insert it into the bottle instead of letting it wither away?

Could it be that it was waiting for me to place it?

For a City God like me to offer flowers to another god's statue is really... a bit interesting.

After Su Yuanshan observed the surroundings again and found no abnormalities, he picked up the flower from the offering table and inserted it into the bottle.

Sure enough, everything remained as usual, and nothing abnormal occurred.

But how was he to leave this place?

Just as Su Yuanshan was thinking of a way to leave, a strange thing suddenly happened: he saw the flower suddenly bloom,

emitting waves of fragrance that drifted away with the wind and gradually spread into the distance. Before long, the sound of rushing wind came from within the flower. That was not even the strangest part; the most bizarre thing was that it was interspersed with someone's urgent, intermittent cries for help.

"Is anyone there? Are there any reborn buddies in Yun Shen Gu? Come and save me quickly!"

Yun Shen Gu? Reborn? Buddy?

Su Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, his heartstrings trembling violently. He thought to himself, did I hear that correctly?

He hurriedly approached the flower inserted in the bottle, but he did not rush to respond.

The other party shouted several times without receiving any response, appearing to be in deep despair.

He heard a voice of frustration coming intermittently from the flower again.

"Sigh, I'm done for! Is there not a single reborn person in this area? I was careless; I guess I'm going to die here today, boo-hoo!"

That person seemed to have been pushed to the brink and had broken down, sobbing loudly.

Su Yuanshan was speechless. At this moment, he understood a little. He thought, I had assumed I was the only reborn person in this world; it seems I was wrong.

The guy on the other side seemed to be in a predicament and was looking for help. Although contacting him now seemed to carry some risk, it was also an opportunity—a good opportunity to obtain information about other reborn people and this world.

After all, although he had been in this world for so long, he did not know much, especially regarding the identities of other reborn people.

After much deliberation, Su Yuanshan decided to respond, but for the sake of safety, he altered his voice.

But how should he respond? Could he just talk to the flower?

This really is... a rather novel way of conversing.

At this moment, he heard the voice inside the flower shout again.

"Is there really no one who can hear me? Is there really no one! Have you all been killed off? Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! My transmission flower is the last one I have left. I've been hiding and fleeing while being hunted until now; I really can't hold on any longer..."

"Ah, ah, ah!!! Those people are closing in; they are about to find me. It looks like I'm really done for! Done for!"

The person on the other side seemed truly desperate. Judging by the voice, it was a man crying in a heart-wrenching manner.

Su Yuanshan hesitated for a long time. Finally, gritting his teeth and making up his mind, he approached the flower and gave a tentative cough, responding.

"Who... are you?"

Upon hearing the response, the other party seemed to freeze for a moment, and then Su Yuanshan could feel that he had fallen into a state of ecstasy. He said in an urgent tone,

"Oh, heavens!

In this godforsaken place, there really is more than just one reborn person like me!

Buddy, save me!"

Su Yuanshan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Who are you? What's going on? What is the situation on your end? Why are you shouting for help?"

The other side seemed to let out a bitter laugh.

"Who am I? Who else could I be? Just a reborn person with the worst luck in eight lifetimes. I was chasing a girl at school, but I didn't expect that wench to be two-timing. After I found out, she dumped me. I was so angry I went to reason with her, but I got stabbed by her boyfriend. I died before I even reached the hospital, and then when I opened my eyes, I arrived in this godforsaken world. At first, I didn't understand anything..."

Su Yuanshan had no interest in listening to him continue rambling about his melodramatic life, so he asked,

"What do you mean by shouting for help the moment you start talking? Is someone really hunting you? What exactly did you do?"

He heard the other side answer helplessly.

"What else could it be? I was careless recently and my identity as a reborn person was discovered by a bunch of bastards in this world! That's why they've been hunting me down. I've been running and running for three or four months now. If you don't help me today, I'm afraid I'm truly doomed!"

Su Yuanshan weighed the situation and said,

"If you want my help, there is a price to pay. What can you offer me?"

The other party's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

"Let's trade later. I understand that. I am currently surrounded by that bunch of guys in Yun Shen Gu,"

"They are currently searching the valley, and I estimate I won't be able to hide for much longer. It's a pity that my Earth-Escaping Talismans are all used up. You only need to find someone to send me a few Earth-Escaping Talismans, and once I break out, I will definitely repay your life-saving grace tenfold."

Su Yuanshan did happen to have a few Earth-Escaping Talismans, and he already had a suitable candidate in mind to send them, but the one thing he was dissatisfied with was that this transmigrator's talk of repaying the favor was too vague.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan said.

"Do you not have any other transmigrators you can contact right now?"

The other party seemed to let out a bitter laugh and said.

"There were three, but unfortunately, they are all already dead!"
