"You came."
Upon hearing the little boy's words, Zi Chen turned around and looked behind him, only to find that there was no one behind him.
Then his expression changed and he realized that the other party was talking to him.
"I can see you."
As if he knew what Zi Chen was thinking, the little boy said, "I've been waiting for you for so many years."
"Wait for me?" Zi Chen was puzzled.
The little boy nodded and took a few steps forward.
Zi Chen discovered that there was another little boy standing there.
The little boy looked at the dead Mrs. Chen with a ferocious expression and full of resentment.
The little boy walking towards him was calm yet relieved.
"Aunt Chen said, I believe someone will come one day."
There was a look of relief on the little boy's face, "I didn't expect you to finally come."
Zi Chen felt that what he was waiting for was not him, but someone who passed the test.
"Why do you want to save me?"
What the little boy was referring to was that Zi Chen had brought him out when he was dying, otherwise his head would have been filled that night.
Then the test will end early.
"If you want to pry for information, there are many people you can ask, why did you save me?"
The little boy said: "I stole your things and threatened you. I don't look like a good person."
Zi Chen thought seriously about the sudden encounter between the two, and said, "Compared to others, I felt that you were more like a real person at that time."
Everyone else has evil thoughts, and they are all hidden, like devils.
But the little boy didn't.
The little boy didn't seem surprised. He nodded and said, "You do have spiritual power. Indeed, only with spiritual power can you obtain the All-Word Mantra."
"Is this a test you set?" Zi Chen asked, "Are you a spirit born from the Jiezi Mantra?"
"It's true that I set this up. The idea came from Aunt Chen." The little boy said, "I am not the spirit of the All-Word Mantra. I am the owner of the All-Character Mantra from the previous generation."
Zi Chen was shocked.
The master of the previous generation who had all been cursed with mantras turned out to be a child.
"Why set up such a simple test?"
Zi Chen didn't understand.
"You think it's easy?"
"Isn't it?"
The little boy laughed and said, "Do you know how long I have been waiting for you to show up?"
"A full ten thousand years!"
"You are the first and only one to pass the test! Do you still think it's easy now?"
Only one person actually passes it in ten thousand years. This success rate is really pitifully low.
But it does involve some difficulties when it comes to human nature.
Because in times of crisis, everyone tends to avoid danger in time.
"Having a kind heart is the test suggested by Aunt Chen. And having mental power is the test of the Mantra Mantra. Over the years, there have been some people who have good intentions but no mental power. But
Unfortunately, they all failed."
"What does failure mean?"
"died."
The little boy said: "Before you, no one left alive. Except those who put the letter."
Chen Zheng is the one who puts the letter.
Every once in a while, a small town will appear, attracting treasure-hunting adventurers, and someone needs to be trusted during this period.
This is why Chen Zheng came without any explanation, but left alive and got an important map in a daze.
"Son."
Mrs. Chen appeared and saluted Zi Chen.
Zi Chen cupped his fists and returned the greeting. He could see that Mrs. Chen only had a remnant of her soul left.
"If it weren't for Aunt Chen, I wouldn't have left any tests. I would have just built a hell here, killed everyone who came here, and made this place a purgatory. As long as you fall into it, you will never be able to be reincarnated!"
The little boy's voice was vicious and full of hatred.
Then, her tone softened and she said: "But Aunt Chen believes that there is still kindness like her in this world, and she also told me to believe it. I didn't expect that I would really wait for you."
At this moment, there was obviously a touch of relief on the little boy's face.
"Since you are here, I leave everything to you. For ten thousand years, we have tortured them as well as ourselves. It's time for us to leave."
Another figure appeared nearby.
It's the adventurers who died here, as well as the innocent residents of the town who died tragically.
Their souls are sealed here, and there will be no reincarnation for thousands of years.
Looking at Zi Chen at this moment, I felt both ashamed and grateful.
They cupped their fists and saluted Zi Chen before disappearing.
Fall into reincarnation.
The little boy also turned and left.
Mrs. Chen saluted Zi Chen again, then pulled the little boy and walked away.
After taking more than ten steps, the two figures disappeared.
All are liberated.
Zi Chen's eyes flashed, and he regained consciousness and found himself standing on the desert.
Hot wind and waves swept over me.
Next to them are Zilan, Wang Yiling, and Wu Haoqi not far away.
"What did you see?"
Zi Chen looked at the three people.
"I didn't even see the fart. The golden light came out in a flash." Wu Hao was dejected.
Farther away are other adventurers.
They looked around blankly, as if they were in a dream.
But when I looked around, there were far fewer people than when I came here. It was obvious that this was not a dream.
Many people died!
They recalled the scene that happened before, as if the final battle had never happened.
But no one knows why this happens.
When the time comes, everyone comes out automatically.
Or has the mantra been obtained by someone else?
"Go back."
The four of them first determined their direction and headed towards the market town.
There is still their industry there.
"The mantra will definitely not appear again in the short term. What are your plans next?" Wu Hao asked angrily as he walked forward.
To be continued...
