Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Chen Lixue once again returned to the ancient experience, and the narration is over. Bai Su and I looked at each other in astonishment, because we still don't understand the nature of what happened. When Chen Lixue saw us, she felt very disappointed, Bai Su comforted her: "Not everything in this world has an answer!" Chen Lixue smiled wryly: "If I keep going back to the ancient times, experiencing the scene, participating in some inexplicable things, and seeing them in real life, this... will be a kind of extreme trouble to my life... !" Chen Lixue's distress is very special and understandable.If she just entered the ancient times uncontrollably and saw many inexplicable events, it would be fine, but the people she met in ancient times would also appear in real life, and after seeing her, she also felt extremely shocked frightened.Although I tried my best to prove that she did not become a monster at that time, but this kind of thing happens all the time, after all, it is not a very pleasant thing.

Bai Su and I looked at each other, and in an instant, we had already exchanged opinions: tell Jin Meili the reason why she was afraid after seeing her!I judged that everything was because Jin Meili had hallucinations in an instant, and it wasn't that Chen Lixue's appearance had undergone some terrible changes, so there was no need to hide it from her anymore. To be clear, it would actually reduce her psychological burden. Chen Lixue had already seen that we had something to say to her, she opened her eyes wide and looked at us, since it was Bai Su who was talking to Jin Meili, so Bai Su told the story of why Jin Meili was afraid.

Chen Lixue was very focused, she hardly blinked her eyes, and her expression was extremely dignified. After Bai Su finished speaking, she raised a question: "At that time, how long did she stay in the store——after she saw me, she showed a frightened expression , You have experienced so many things in just a few seconds?" Bai Su smiled: "People in hallucinations have a very different sense of time from normal brain activities of ordinary people. They can feel many things in a very short period of time. The ancients have already recorded it. In one dream, a person can experience a lifetime of ups and downs!"

Chen Lixue suddenly said again: "It's weird, I didn't see her doing bad things in ancient times, why did she suffer such a tragic retribution?" Bai Su and I were shocked suddenly——When Chen Lixue said this, she was very serious and There was really a look of doubt and pity.For a while, we didn't understand why she would say that. After understanding Jin Meili's narration, what we think of is: that is her hallucination, of course, we can also think of her hallucination, which is very tragic, but we can never think of the phenomenon of "retribution". Why did Chen Lixue think of retribution all of a sudden, naturally?

Bai Su and I asked in unison: "Why do you say that? Retribution? Why do you think her hallucinations are a kind of retribution?" Chen Lixue's words were even more beyond our expectations: "It's not an illusion, it's real! She will definitely suffer this kind of tragic retribution, first let her know that she will have such a retribution, and then the retribution will really come!" From the first time I saw Chen Lixue, I have always had a very good impression of her, not only because of her beautiful appearance and decent conversation, but also because of her extremely high painting ability.

But at this time, these few words of hers made me feel quite disgusted, and my expression, of course, expressed dissatisfaction.Therefore, she should also be able to understand the irony of my words: "Oh, there must be such a retribution? The bull-headed horse-faced will come to arrest her? Imprisoned by black and white impermanence? Where will it be executed? Which floor of hell?" Chen Lixue didn't react immediately, but just stared at me, and I stared at her. During that time, I found that her eyes were very strange. She definitely didn't pretend on purpose. But there is a condescending taste, as if I am a person who knows nothing, and she knows a lot, but she can't explain it to me, or if she explains it to me, I won't understand.

This kind of gaze made me feel quite uncomfortable. Just as I was about to say something more, she already had an answer and said, "I don't know the details, but retribution... always exists, isn't it?" I waved my hand vigorously: "There is retribution, and Jin Meili will suffer real retribution. This kind of retribution is completely different. What you said just now is very scary. It is hard to imagine that a person's body is crushed. Minced meat, and he has to keep his head awake to watch this terrible situation unfold!" What I said has the meaning of reproach, which can be heard by anyone.

But Chen Lixue still stared at me unceremoniously: "It's terrible, all the evil retributions are extremely terrifying, like the situation in her hallucination, if the real retribution comes, there should be some body crushed When the shattering, excruciating pain occurs, her intact head can feel every tingle of pain, she will howl, scream—" Bai Su and I interrupted her at the same time—to interrupt a person who uses sign language to continue speaking, naturally we had to grab her hand, and Bai Su and I were on each side, grabbing her hand so that she could not He expressed his opinion again, and then scolded her with a stern look—it was rare to see such a stern look in Bai Su's eyes, and it was naturally because of what Chen Lixue said just now.She spoke so ruthlessly, as if she could stand by and look on indifferently when such a terrible situation really happened.

Both Bai Su and I felt that a girl like Chen Lixue should not have such a ruthless attitude. When I grabbed her hand, a thought flashed through my mind!Could it be that deaf-mute people have a kind of calmness that ordinary people don't have, which makes ordinary people feel too cold? For this point, it is natural to consult experts who have studied the psychology of deaf-mute people. As soon as Chen Lixue was strangled by us, I could clearly feel that she was struggling quite vigorously. Obviously, she still wanted to continue expressing her opinion that such a tragedy would inevitably befall Jin Meili. At the same time, she His eyes also showed a very obvious resistance and disgust.

However, all of a sudden, her demeanor changed completely. She became very bewildered, and her eyes were full of doubts. She looked at her own grasped hand and looked at a loss. Two people! Just now, Bai Su and I wanted to blame her for speaking too much, but at this moment, we let go of our hands immediately.Chen Lixue hesitated for a while, and then began to ask in sign language: "Did I just... say something that shouldn't be said?" I yelled out, "Don't tell me you don't remember some horrible things you just said." I wanted to say something, but Bai Su rushed to say: "Nothing, you didn't say anything just now."

Chen Lixue looked at Bai Su pleadingly: "If I really said something, please tell me, I... I'm really confused, sometimes, I feel that I'm not me anymore... It's a weird feeling, I'm really Afraid that I suddenly disappeared and turned into that... I don’t know what it is!” When she came here for the first time, I had already heard her talk about this kind of "fear". At that time, it was only a kind of imagination of hers. At this time, hearing her say that again, I couldn't help but feel a chill, because she expressed her feelings so honestly, it made people feel that there was an unknown force that wanted to make her no longer her, but become her. into something else—even, possibly, the "giant meat grinder" that Jin Meili called it! Bai Su asked very seriously: "You really don't know what you said just now?" Chen Lixue replied: "I know I said something, but I don't know what it is. Those words... are not what I want to say, but... for some reason, I just said them!" Bai Su raised her eyebrows, and quickly used sign language to say exactly what Chen Lixue said in sign language just now.Chen Lixue's face turned pale: "It's terrible, why would I say that? Retribution? Will Jin Meili suffer such terrible retribution?" Bai Su said: "It's all what you said! In fact, it is impossible for such a thing to happen. No one can see his broken body after his body is crushed, leaving only a head." At this moment, an extremely strange expression flashed across Chen Lixue's face. I couldn't guess why she had such a strange expression, because she immediately turned around and turned her back to us. Judging from the slight trembling of her back, at that moment, she seemed to be hesitating about whether she should do something or not?Then, she suddenly half-bent down, swiped a pen and wrote a lot of words on a piece of paper, but did not show us the written words, but folded the paper in half, and then folded it into a small into one of the top pockets of her jacket. Under such circumstances, of course we have no way of knowing what words she wrote, and it is inconvenient to ask, because we all feel that Chen Lixue's behavior is very weird. Controlled, intermittent sudden changes in character, like saying something so cruel and heartless just now, suddenly, and not knowing what he said at all, it's all weird and inexplicable. After turning around, Chen Lixue made a request: "Please ask Jin Dafu, when I met him face to face, what kind of hallucination did he have at that moment?" I nodded: "I'll ask him." Bai Su could see that she wanted to leave: "Miss Chen, if you go back to ancient times again, please feel free to chat with us." Chen Lixue's attitude was not very enthusiastic, which made me a little annoyed.So, shortly after she left, when Hu Hua came to the door again, I said angrily: "Your dear relative, seems to be very dissatisfied with our failure to explain what happened to her, I think she will probably not come to me again Already!" Nonsense hurriedly said: "No, her experience is so strange, how can I hope that there will be results all at once!" I hesitated for a moment: "Her health...well, her mental state, has there been no problem?" When nonsense looked at me inexplicably, I added: "She may suffer from schizophrenia, at least she has that tendency. She can show two different personalities in an instant!" Nonsense smiled bitterly: "No way, maybe her physical defects made her a bit weird. When she first told me about her experience, I didn't believe it at all, but now it proves that what she said is true. Jin Meili and Jin The two of Dafu are indeed afraid when they see her!" I let out a muffled snort—sign language with Chen Lixue, I had been talking with a pen for a long time, and I felt a kind of suffocation that was hard to vent. Now I can talk with words, and I was naturally very happy. I told nonsense about Chen Lixue's argument about retribution. Hu Shu frowned: "Even if Jin Dafu and Jin Meili did some evil deeds, what does it have to do with Chen Lixue if they are punished? Why are they afraid when they see her? There will be such a terrible vision?" I applauded vigorously: "Good question, please attach the answer at the same time!" Nonsense smiled wryly, sat down, and was stunned for a while. I ignored him and sipped the wine by myself, when he suddenly called me: "Mr. Wei!" Because we are very familiar with each other, we seldom address each other when we talk. He suddenly called me, which surprised me. I looked at him immediately, and saw that his expression was quite serious: "If there is really retribution, then, Who is in charge? What power is used? Who is recording people’s evil deeds and good deeds? And what is the basis for determining the time of retribution?” He asked several questions in one breath, and when I was about to ask him to "prepare your own answers", Bai Su just walked in at this moment and answered, "There are many theories, the eighteen levels of hell in Buddhist stories, Who is in charge? They are responsible for giving evil retribution to those who have evil deeds!" I was very surprised when I suddenly said this to Bai Su, and looked at her immediately, only to see a piece of paper folded into small squares in her hand - it was Chen Lixue who wrote some words not long ago , and the folded one.Bai Su handed me the piece of paper. At the same time, Bai Su explained the source of the paper: "Chen Lixue left it in the crack of the door, I think it was left on purpose." I opened the origami very quickly, and the traces of writing on it were undoubtedly Chen Lixue’s. What she wrote was: “The most common punishment in hell is going up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil. Extreme pain, what is the point of punishment and retribution? Punishment and retribution are carried out repeatedly, and the tortured must remain awake, the purpose is to make them feel that kind of pain-they have inflicted the same pain on others under certain circumstances in the past , so there is such a retribution." My eyes stopped on the paper, and I couldn't move it away for a while.The theory of retribution has a long history, but it is the first time I have come across such a definitive and definite statement of retribution. It has always been something that only happened in legends, something that only appeared in novels that warn the world and wake up the world. Suddenly, it is really, bloody and bloody in front of you, which is indeed very shocking!After I stayed for a while, I handed the paper to Hu Shu. After reading it, Hu Shu was obviously shocked as well. The three of them were silent for a moment, before Bai Su said: "Thinking about the situation at that time, why didn't Ms. Chen show us her written opinion immediately?" I have already thought about the situation at that time: "At that time, her words and deeds were very strange. After she expressed some opinions on the issue of retribution impassionedly, she suddenly seemed to have no idea what she said at all." Bai Su frowned: "It's weird, we all didn't think much of what she said at the time, why?" I hesitated for a moment: "It may be that in our subconscious mind, we don't really believe in retribution at all, and we may also feel that... if there is a power that controls the power of retribution, although good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, It's very fair, but it's tantamount to that kind of power controlling the entire destiny of all people, which is a terrible thing, so we don't want to accept it." Bai Su smiled helplessly: "This kind of power has long been known in China. It is called 'Tian Dao'. I pondered for a moment: "Jin Meili has a beautiful appearance and a hearty personality. We don't know what evil causes she has planted. We only know that she may be retribution, and of course she will be disgusted." Bai Su slightly raised her head: "Chen Lixue has seen through our mentality, that's why she kept her opinion, and didn't want to argue with us head-on." I nodded slowly: "It's possible, it's also possible that she felt very disturbed at the time, and even she herself wasn't sure what she was thinking was right—her situation at that time was very schizophrenic, don't you think?" ?” Bai Su didn't make a decision, but was just thinking about it.Hu Shi also understood the ins and outs of the matter at this time, and he joined our discussion: "I'll ask her, and I'll find out." Bai Su agreed: "Yes, she is not very familiar with us after all. The most important thing for you to meet her is to ask her to explain exactly what kind of existence she was when she returned to ancient times. , what role do you play?" Hu Hua was a little dazed, as if he didn't know what Bai Su meant when he asked him to ask that question. Bai Su sighed lowly: "I feel that she is hiding something from us. When she narrates the situation back to the ancient times, it seems that she stays out of it, like an audience in a costume drama, but I feel that things are not that simple. She It must be very clear what she was doing at the time, but she refused to say!" Nonsense stayed for a while: "If that's the case, that's terrible. It's her who begged and asked to see you. If it wasn't like this, how could I introduce her to Mr. Wei? She has something to hide .” Seeing Hu Hua's uncommon excitement, Bai Su blushed, as if being deceived, she made a gesture: "It's just my feeling, there is no conclusive evidence." I support Bai Su's opinion: "I feel the same way." Hu Shi lowered his head and thought for a while: "I'm going to see her right now." As he spoke, he hurried out, slamming his hands vigorously to express his dissatisfaction. Bai Su and I looked at each other, and we both knew that at this moment, both of us were thinking about the same question, but neither of us had the means to put what we thought into words, because what we thought was only A vague concept with no concrete facts at all. The first thing we thought of was, of course, when Chen Lixue returned to ancient times, what was her identity? It's possible that Chen Lixue concealed this issue from us on purpose, or it's possible that she doesn't even know about it! To find out her identity, the best way is naturally to ask the people she met in ancient times!Bai Su once asked Jin Meili, and Jin Meili said that she had no experience of returning to ancient times, so she had no choice but to ask Jin Dafu. There are two questions to ask Jin Dafu, one is to ask him if he has gone back to ancient times and met Chen Lixue.Another question was to ask him why he was so scared when he saw Chen Lixue through the car. It seems that no matter whether the meeting with Jin Dafu is interesting or not, it is inevitable. When I think of this, I inevitably feel a little reluctant. Bai Su naturally knows what I mean, she raised her eyebrows: "Jin Dafu is business If you want to go to him, you have to beware that he won’t answer your questions at all, because you obviously don’t want to help him with what he asks of you.” I frowned, Bai Su's analysis was right, Jin Dafu was very cunning, if he knew something about me and wanted to ask him for an answer, he might use it as a threat, asking us to help him.At that time, I will naturally walk away—it would be extremely unpleasant to meet a wall in front of someone like Jin Dafu. Therefore, the best way is, since it is expected that such a situation will happen, Jin Dafu should be given some benefits first. That is to say, first agree to some of his requests. When I thought of this, Bai Su was already asking: "What kind of story did he tell you, and what did he ask of you?" I sighed and made an eight-character comment: "The story is nonsensical, and the request is absurd." Bai Suyi heard it, but laughed: "Nonsense and absurdity, isn't it just the portrayal of Wesley's life in the eyes of some people?" I also laughed out loud, pointing at Bai Su: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid there is no exception."
