Chapter 295: Please tell me, how can I find Xuanwu’s wife?
This long-term tug of war quickly lasted for three years.
The calm sea is the same every day, from the clouds in the sky; to the blue and black sea; to the stories that happened; to the shaky determination.
It makes people wonder if they are trapped in a time and space cycle.
In the legend of an ancient civilization, there is a being called the "Weaver" who is good at weaving a substance called the "Yarn of Time". It is the "Yarn of Time" that wraps the world and allows the world to hide itself
, to prevent outside invasion.
But "The Veil of Time" is also a violent poison.
When the mortal body touches the "veil of time", it will enter the cycle of time and space, and every day will be exactly the same, just like being reborn again and again.
Only by committing suicide can one escape from this cycle of time and space!
Well, this is naturally just a legend from a certain civilization and cannot be taken to be true.
Zhang Ming feels like a "weaver", tirelessly weaving dreams and protecting his core memories.
At least when I'm awake, my mood is normal.
Occasionally I wake up from a dream, and while my energy is still good, I jump into the sea water to clean myself; I can also spend an hour or two making myself a delicious meal.
Although the increase of attribute points is really as slow as a snail now, the advantage is that it is continuous. If you eat it for a month, you can increase your life span by one year, which is better than nothing.
I have to mention that under the current situation of mental illness, the attribute points increased by the Xuanwu Breathing Technique after fine-tuning have actually increased, automatically increasing by 20-30 points a year. This is what he has done in the course of his life.
This is the first time I encountered that the attributes obtained through practice are greater than those obtained from food.
This is the normal state of normal people, and the progress every year is extremely limited.
Even the breathing technique has its limits. It is impossible to increase attributes endlessly, otherwise it would not be directly immortal. Even a mythical beast like Xuanwu has no immortality, let alone a human being who cannot exert one-tenth of the exquisite breathing technique.
.
Zhang Ming doesn't know what the limit of Xuanwu Breathing Technique is. Anyway, within a few hundred years, there is no need to worry.
Occasionally, he chatted with Xiao Hulu enthusiastically. He wanted to ask for something, so naturally he couldn't be as perverted as Shimama, so he could only settle for the next best thing and chat about some simple issues.
In fact, Xiao Hulu likes chatting very much and also likes Zhang Ming's "exchange wishes".
It's just that it is a very embarrassing presence on the ship. The more it helps and the more serious Lao Zhang's condition becomes, the more embarrassing it becomes.
Gone are the days when I was so shameless and a talkative person who didn’t know anything.
【What is your... evaluation of the human world?】
"Develop in twists and turns. The development of human beings will not be smooth sailing, but as long as you live, you will make some progress." Zhang Ming sighed, "Actually, I am more and more afraid of returning to the human world. It is really a weird idea."
"It would have been better if I had followed the Hong Steel people."
"Actually, it's not impossible for me to turn around and go back now, but I'm worried that the old guys will see me like this and cause disaster to the world of Honggang people."
"I really worry about gains and losses."
[Okay, you insulted [Long-cherished Wish] and have been tortured by the disease until now. Do you have any regrets? If you were given another chance, what would you choose? Will you continue to scold it?]
When Xiao Hulu asked this question, he felt like he was winking.
After being together for so long, it also knows Zhang Ming's character, and it doesn't matter if he makes a few jokes occasionally.
"Regret? I, Zhang Ming, never regret anything I do!"
Zhang Ming, who was still awake for the time being, patted his chest and shouted, "I will scold [Long-cherished Wish] again now!"
"Your fucking rescue team...ah, I accidentally scolded you wrongly." Zhang Ming looked at the vast sea and cursed, "[Long-cherished wish], you are such a big idiot!"
The little gourd is swaying as if drunk. This is one of its rare happy moments: [Compared to the past, your current aggression needs to be improved.]
Zhang Ming also felt that as the anomalous disorder continued for a long time, his ability to associate has declined by more than a little, and even the sharpness of his curses has dropped a lot.
Finally, he sighed: "Actually, no matter whether I scold it or not, it will still have to cling to me. It won't give up my anchor, will it?"
"Second, the feeling of scolding it is like punching Bai Zhendong or kicking Macaron. Do you know who Bai Zhendong and Macaron are? They are the global leaders in the world today. I rushed over with my face covered.
A beating and kicking! Although I was wanted globally afterward, I was still in a happy mood at the time..."
Zhang Ming's eyes lit up: "By the way, I gave it a nickname, called [Sumama], and I will call it [Sumama] from now on!"
The little gourd keeps laughing. It may think that this guy's brain circuit is different from ordinary people. He is obviously like this, but he still dares to challenge the powerful "Sumama".
[I am very satisfied with your answer, because I also want to scold it. It is obviously the bad thing it did, but it poured dirty water on me, but I can't clear this suspicion.]
[Now it’s your turn to wish, it can only be a small wish.]
"I want to know, how can I cut off the thread anchoring me?"
After such a long period of contact, Zhang Ming almost knows what a big wish is and what a small wish is.
Anything that involves the existence of the gourd itself is a big wish. No matter how good it is, there is a high probability that it will refuse to describe itself.
Most of the other information is just a small wish for it, not worth mentioning.
Hulu thought for a while and said somewhat sincerely: [According to the current situation, it is difficult for you to do this.]
[Because your mental state has been very bad, there are many methods that you can’t use.]
[I can't tell you these methods. Most of them are related to the devil. Asking for help from the devil is just jumping from one fire pit to another.]
[When you find a suitable world for rest and your mental state is good enough, I will help you.]
"Is that so..."
Apparently, this little gourd doesn’t know all my trump cards.
Zhang Ming thought of a way to forcefully swallow the second rule of the Space-Time Insect and cut off this anchor.
As a demon-level existence, the "Insect of Time and Space" cannot cut through even a small fishing line.
But, on the one hand, he doesn't have much energy to pick out the miscellaneous rules of the devil; on the other hand, his mental state is too bad. The current mental value is only a pitiful little over a thousand points. This is a life-saving straw for him.
Can be seen but cannot be touched.
……
……
The mental state of collapse artist Zhang Ming is getting worse and worse. In order to maintain rationality, his waking hours are getting shorter and shorter, from waking up every three days, to waking up every five days, to waking up every seven days...
The most powerful legendary warrior in human civilization, the extraordinary person in this world's community, has no way to fight the invisible enemy.
The light of human beings only shines faintly in the face of extremely powerful natural disasters.
However, one day, Zhang Ming suddenly discovered that he had "insomnia".
"Insomnia" is a common mental illness among the symptoms of people who have lost their homes. As the name suggests, they have insomnia and cannot fall asleep no matter what.
In fact, this problem is considered minor. After all, those who dare to venture into the Sea of Demon Gods are basically strong people. If they don't rest for ten days and a half, the problem is basically not big.
What's more, in modern technology, there are always some "tranquilizers", "anesthetics" and the like. If you can't sleep, why can't you just fall into a coma?
Therefore, insomnia is a relatively mild symptom.
But for Zhang Ming, it is fatal, because he can only better resist the "reality syndrome" in dreams. Now that he can't sleep, the "dream firewall" will directly lose its effect!
Moreover, Zhang Ming's body is too strong and requires a large amount of anesthetics and tranquilizers to anesthetize him. Even if the Honggang people did give away some natural plant anesthetics, they could only be used a few times.
So in the end there was only one way to survive: ask for help.
Without the help of the gourd, he would not be able to sleep, and would soon be swallowed up by the "disreality syndrome" and lose his life.
This sense of déjà vu being manipulated by fate was so strong that the old sheep head couldn't help but lament - isn't this exactly the same as [Long-cherished Wish] manipulating the life of the six blind people?
Comrade Shimama has been lying down for a long time... In other words, Lord Shimama is really scared. The power of the devil is so terrifying!
They could kill you, but they didn’t!
You have to torture slowly!
Lord Shimama was shocked. It seemed that it had made many, many, many wishes to Ms. Calabash.
But it didn’t pay any price?!
Do you want to kill Zhang Ming first, and then kill me?
The talkative gourd has long since turned into a dull gourd. It is very frustrated, but has to defend itself with a few words: [I must declare in advance that this is not my doing.]
[Alas, even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won’t be able to escape, and I won’t be able to gain your trust.]
[Of course, I can help you fall asleep.]
【Even if you don’t make a wish, I will still help you.】
……
……
Time passed, and three years later became six years.
Something more cruel has happened, and Brother Hao may not be able to hold on any longer.
The old dog's condition is getting worse day by day, and he looks like he may die at any time. He eats less and less, and recently, he stopped eating.
In the past six years, Zhang Ming suffered from more than 100 "homeless people" symptoms!
For about a month, I could only stay awake for two or three hours.
This is still based on the help of Gourd, otherwise he would have gone insane and jumped into the ocean.
"Is this how difficult it is to fight against the devil? Everything is being dragged along. What does it want me to do? What does it want?" Zhang Ming struggled to live, looking at the blue and white sky, muttering to himself.
.
[Your mental state can only support you to stay awake for 3 hours, and then you have to fall asleep.]
