Chapter 360 Under the Chimney(1/2)
The moment Raz closed his eyes, the whole world disappeared.
Chen Yan's consciousness began to become confused.
…
It was hazy, like a dream that had gone through countless years.
Countless pictures are intertwined, and endless light and shadow overlap.
Until a low and decisive call sounded, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared blankly at Ogami, whose face was frozen with a sad expression, and watched him put back the half-unsheathed tears in his hands, and said in a daze:
"what's the situation……"
The sadness on Ogami's face disappeared, and Bai Lai was carried on his back again. He grabbed Chen Yan's arm and said excitedly:
"Yanjun! You are finally back!"
Chen Yan was shaken by the cold wind coming in from the attic window and woke up.
He looked at Ogami in astonishment, then looked at the pile of notebooks on the small desk next to him. He turned his head again and suddenly found that the pile of dead bones in the corner of the attic had disappeared.
He pointed to the corner of the attic:
"There...there used to be a pile of rotten bones."
Ogami looked at the corner he was pointing at, then at Chen Yan, who had a determined look in his eyes, and decided to speak:
"I didn't see any dry bones."
He saw a little light bursting out of Chen Yan's eyes.
At the same time, Chen Yan once again said in a positive tone:
"That pile of dead bones has disappeared!"
Ogami does not have intracranial eyes, and his spiritual vision is not good. Since Chen Yan said he does, he must have it.
Chen Yan said to Ogami:
"I... seemed to have experienced a dream that lasted for countless years."
"I experienced many things in my dream..."
He spent ten minutes briefly describing what he had just seen from Raz's loss of control, and then said to Ogami:
“I originally thought those years were enough to change my mind, but when I left Raz’s loss of control, I was still me——
It was like I had experienced a dream that lasted for countless years. Everything in the dream was vividly visible when I was sleeping, but when I woke up, everything in the dream had become... Although it was not blurry, I could not feel it deeply.
memory."
Chen Yan sighed:
"This feeling... has never happened before."
Another gust of cold wind blew into the attic in the early morning. Although it failed to blow up the papers on the small table, it was able to cool down Chen Yan's heaving heart.
Chen Yan was thinking wildly: If the cold wind didn't carry the smoke of burning coals and the smell of people eating breakfast, the artistic conception would be perfect.
After listening to what he said, Ogami said:
"According to your [symbol] theory, I can't see the withered bones in the corner, but you can see them, which means that the withered bones exist in spiritual vision and are the symbol of Raz - the symbol of [withered bones]
Does the object itself mean that she is dead? Or does her own will, emotions, etc., completely disappear?"
After Ogami finished speaking, he said smoothly:
"Your theory of [symbols] is quite interesting, and it applies to scenes with extraordinary vision."
Chen Yan nodded, touched his chin and said:
"I also think that [withered bones] symbolizes [decay] or [death]."
He changed the subject.
"Then the question is, if [withered bones] is a symbol of [decay] or [death], then, now that the withered bones have disappeared, doesn't it mean that [decay] and [death] have disappeared?"
At this moment his heartbeat accelerated.
"So...Raz...is she alive again?"
He immediately added:
"It's probably not reliable to live in human form..."
Ogami suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"Is Raz being [saved] by you, Mr. Yan?"
When Chen Yan heard this word, he almost lost his temper.
But then I thought about it, he liberated her obsession, ended her loss of control that lasted for 113 years, and caused her to break away from the curse's shackles on her soul. This whole process is really no different from "transcendence"
.
"That seems to be the case!"
Chen Yan almost rubbed his chin bald.
"Although it sounds a little weird, it seems to be similar to [Superversion]!"
The only people who understand Asians are Asians. If it were any other person, whether it was Wish or Jack Baldo, he might not be able to immediately think of "Transcendence".
Thinking of this, Chen Yan remembered that when Ogami first came here, there seemed to be a string of Buddhist beads hanging around her neck...
And he once said that Nuomiguo also spent some time in a Buddhist temple.
From this point of view, these two people should have been influenced by Buddhist culture, so it is not surprising to know these things.
Ogami looked at the paper on the small desk:
"If Yanjun's behavior is similar to [Chaodu], then it's easy to guess Raz's current situation——
The original meaning of salvation is to free ghosts from suffering through various means such as chanting sutras.
Transcendence has an extended meaning under certain circumstances, which refers to correcting the original fault and enabling the person being rescued to reach a new realm of life.
From this point of view... Raz may have embarked on the right path of evolution after being saved by you, but not necessarily."
Speaking of this, Chen Yan said curiously:
"Is that so..."
He composed himself:
"So, here comes the question:
If I changed her in the memory fragments of Raz's world, will it affect her in the original reality?"
He then said:
"Of course it affected her. She was saved by me, and even the withered bones in the corner disappeared."
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's heart was pounding:
"There is a temporal logical error here——
What I changed was the Raz who was many years ago, the Raz who was about to die physically, and the Raz who was in Raz’s memory.
But in reality, Raz has gone astray in evolution, and has even been on the wrong path for many years, and has lost control, and has been out of control for countless one hundred and thirteen years.
Just because of my words, did she reverse the wrong path she had been on for countless years? Did she eliminate the loss of control that she had been on for countless 113 years?
How can it be!
Many people have told me that runaway accumulation is irreversible!"
He looked at Ogami and expressed his absurd guess:
"Then, there is only one possibility left."
The light in his eyes met Ogami's horrified gaze:
"My changes to the memory fragments of the world have affected normal history!"
Ogami only feels that her mouth is dry:
"This is... too incredible!"
Chen Yan’s clenched fists had nowhere to put:
"I know there is a guy...she can confirm whether my guess is true! She just has to wait until night!"
Ogami has become accustomed to Wish's visit every night. When she heard Chen Yan say "evening", she immediately thought of Wish.
"So that's it, is it that [spirit]..."
Chen Yan hammered the small desk twice to release his excitement, and then said to Ogami:
"Let's go and have a look in the chimney."
Ogami thought about what Chen Yan had said to him before about Raz, and had a clear understanding in her heart. She no longer mentioned the matter of "the chimney has no bottom", but took off the teardrop and handed it to him:
To be continued...
