Chapter 4 Secret Bureau

The sky is dark, the sun and the moon are gone

It's so dark, lonely, and silent.

"It's here again!"

Xu Sheng's body fell into the pouring rain, but his consciousness was still active.

Familiar, so familiar.

This is the "dark forest", and Xu Sheng has "climbed" here many times.

"Am I dead?"

Xu Sheng asked himself, not knowing the situation. He thought: It would be like before, he would stay here for a while, then the sky thunder ignites the earth's fire, and his consciousness returns to his position, and he is intact.

"Can't I die?" Xu Sheng said to himself: "Can't I really be a 'destined person', an immortal body, an immortal body, well... not right!"

It's really wrong. Xu Sheng suddenly realized that this place is not very big than before

No...wind! To be precise, there is no sound of airflow

Yes, even if there was no strong wind before, there would be some weak airflow. But now, there is no airflow, and it is truly dead silent.

"It seems that this time it's a big trouble." Xu Sheng murmured softly.

Without wind, will there be thunder? If there is no lightning, there will definitely be no fire. If there is no fire, wouldn’t you be trapped here forever!

"don't want!"

Xu Sheng couldn't help but shouted loudly, then he widened his eyes and looked around, trying hard to see the surrounding situation. However, the only thing that caught his eye was darkness, boundless darkness, and pure darkness.

Is death such boundless loneliness?

"Impossible" Xu Sheng denies himself, but when he thinks about it, it seems that there is nothing impossible. After all, no dead have ever been resurrected. How can he know that death is not like this now?

If death is like this, then the "dark forest" is like a dead place. Xu Sheng has climbed here more than once, which means... he has been on the verge of death more than once.

"Is this the underworld? Are there ten palaces of Yama here? Where is the Naihe Bridge? Where is the road to the Huangquan?" Xu Sheng asked repeatedly, but no one was destined to answer.

what to do?

Xu Sheng had no choice but to wait, wait for the storm to rise again, and wait for the thunder to shake again that day.

For a long time, it seems like ten thousand years.

Although there is no standard for reference in the "Dark Forest", Xu Sheng also knows that based on experience and intuition alone, he has waited too long this time, which is longer than ever before.

"It seems that Feng Lei will not come." Xu Sheng smiled bitterly. What is this called? Is death like this?

If I die and become a ghost, and reach the underworld, what about other souls? Could it be that this "dark forest" is the "hell" that belongs to me alone, or the underworld is too big and I haven't had time to meet other ghosts yet.

Xu Sheng thought of a lot for a moment and cursed, "Damn it."

The invisible cold wind that once damaged people's body and spirit is now missed by him.

Without the wind, there would be no bone-breathing feeling, and Xu Sheng’s eyes and ears are useless here, and all six senses are sealed. After a long time, he actually forgot his existence!

He forgot everything, his name, his past, and his place. Xu Sheng, or his consciousness, was still in the "dark forest", but he remained silent, ignorant, ignored external objects, and remained motionless, and seemed to be not here and did not exist.

die!

His current state is no different from death. If he had any objections to whether Xu Sheng died before, then anyone who judged it would definitely assert that this is death.

But, he was not dead.

Not long after, Xu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"Who is calling me?"

Xu Sheng shouted, then touched his forehead, and immediately sweated coldly.

"What happened to me just now? Why did I feel a feeling of Nirvana from the dead? It seems that I was wiped out of thin air and was summoned back by something. What exactly is it?"

......

"puff!"

There was a strange scene in the temple. The fat monk put his hands together and did not move. His originally fair and obese body has now become shriveled and dull.

Xu Sheng's wet body was placed aside, and beside him, the old blind man was desperately pulling the erhu, making a sensational sound from his mouth.

......

"This is...I actually...!" Xu Sheng stood up immediately, his heart trembling.

He could actually see it!

Although his surroundings were still pitch black, he could vaguely see some light and shadow when he looked at it. The "dark forest" was no longer completely boundless darkness for him.

This was undoubtedly extremely exciting for Xu Sheng. Although he didn't see it very clearly, at least he no longer knew nothing. He had some exploratory power in this "mysterious place" and his fear of the unknown was reduced a lot.

"Here...!?" Xu Sheng looked at it hard, stopping step by step, very cautious.

"Is this really a forest?" As his steps extended, he was surprised to find that in this "forest", there were no other plants except the giant trees that were towering into the clouds and endless. There were no flowers and plants, no vines, and no moss. The whole earth was a whole plane, too flat, as if it was cut into something.

Moreover, the most unreasonable thing is that the trees in this "dark forest" are surprisingly consistent. They are not only the same size, but also the same straight and straight, without even a single curved one, as if they were shaped from the same mold!

Originally, Xu Shengyi had a quick glance at the "Dark Forest" in the fire, but he discovered the weirdness at that time, but he was not sure. Now, after his long and meticulous observation, he has a clearer and more certain understanding of this place.

This is not a forest in the strict sense, or it is not a forest here.

"These trees...!" Xu Sheng's hand gently brushed across the trunk, and his heart tightened.

"wrong!"

He was brave enough to touch it a few times, frowned, and said with little certainty: "Is it made of stone?!"

He was a little scared, but he still approached the tree and looked carefully.

There are words!

Xu Sheng took a deep breath. There were a few big words on the trunk! Although he couldn't see clearly in the thick darkness, he tried his best to see and recognize a rough idea.

billion...thousand six...thousand four hundred and four hundred and four hundred and four hundred and four hundred and four thousand.

It turned out to be a number!

The huge tree is engraved with an extremely ancient text, which is rarely mentioned in "Classics and History". Fortunately, there are simple numbers here, which Xu Sheng barely recognizes.

"It's not just a tree, it's also this one." Xu Sheng lingers around and finds numbers on every giant tree.

He was very puzzled, and then slapped his forehead, "Is it a number?"

Alas!

As soon as this thought came out, he became unstable and took two steps back. If it was really a number, it would become even more strange here.

In other words, it is very likely that this place has been carefully arranged, from a big deal of someone or someone who is unimaginable "existence"!

Bureau!

There was only one word in Xu Sheng's mind. It was obvious that he was involved in a big situation and acted as a pawn.

"Who? Who is planning? Who arranged all this?" Xu Sheng asked, but the world was silent.

Helplessly, he had to give up, force himself to cheer up, and take advantage of his weak vision to move forward slowly.

After not leaving for long, Xu Sheng felt very tired. He felt uncomfortable, but he was extremely down-to-earth, because fatigue could make him feel his existence clearly.

After all the hard work, Xu Sheng collapsed. Even though Qianba was reluctant, he still sat on the ground.

"Swish swish"

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, and stood up in a hurry in fright. He held his breath and focused, pricked his ears, and listened carefully...
