Following the guidance of the key, I continued down to the fourteenth floor.I noticed that there was also an iron door between the fourteenth and fifteenth basement floors, but I couldn't open it with the key in my hand."
Looks like the person I'm trying to find is here."
Holding the key in one hand, someone in the corridor was faintly calling out to me, it was a strange feeling, he didn't call my name, but I knew that the person he was looking for was me.Closing my eyes, I blocked my five senses and simply followed that mystical feeling.It was getting closer, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing at the deepest point of the fourteenth floor, one hand resting on the lock.I looked up at the room number, 1444.With an indescribable strange emotion, I pushed open the door, the air in the room was a little damp, and all the furniture was full of texture, which was very different from the deep dream creations, and would give people the illusion of returning to reality.The uneven wooden floor was covered with a thick black carpet that seemed to be woven from the hair of a living person, and it felt strange to step on it, as if it was above all living beings.There was nothing unusual about the living room, and I pushed open the door to the only compartment, and the moment the wooden door opened, my raised hand froze in the air.There was a man sitting in the room, facing me, wearing a yellowed paper mask."
Show examiner?!"
I never imagined that I would see the show examiner in the abandoned site of the show in the deep dreamland!"
I've been waiting for you here for a long time, or rather I've been watching you, ever since I first met you."
The examiner's voice was as calm and mechanically as it was on the phone, without any emotion, just looking at me like that.It was through the mask, but I felt like he was smiling at me: "When did you enter the deep dream?"
”"I've always been here and I've never left."
The examiner stood up from the table and walked up to me: "You don't have the aura of fate in you, this time you found me under the guidance of fate." ”"I don't understand what you mean, and as far as I know, the show branch of the Deep Dream Realm was completely destroyed before, and they can't leave you to deal with this hidden danger, how did you end up here?"
I was a little wary, after all, this is a deep dream that can be lost if you are not careful."
No one can destroy the show, they only ruined me in the last second."
Every sentence of the paper interviewer was meaningful, making me think deeply: "You in the last second?
”I recall the first time I went to the unlit road for an interview, there were three examiners sitting in front of me, all of whom were exactly the same height and size, and the only difference was that the masks were new.Speaking of the show, a memory that I almost forgot came to mind, after the sixth live broadcast, I went to the unlit road once, and at the door of the two buildings 43 and 45, I met a strange girl.She said that she was waiting for someone on the lightless road, saying that she had been waiting for 20 years, and after a while, a middle-aged woman came up, and the same words were repeated over and over again, until finally the old grandmother appeared.The crazy old lady showed me the whole process of a girl from youth to aging, and she kept saying that she was waiting for someone, but in fact she was waiting for herself at a different age (see chapter 201 for details)!
At that time, I was curious, and vaguely felt that this was the old man passing me a clue about the show in a very vague way, but unfortunately, I didn't care at the time.But now that I think of the words of the show examiner, the hidden lines in my mind are finally connected."
The butcher said that the show represents fate, floating and uncertain, and everyone may have different selves because of different choices at every moment, just like countless tributaries of a big river, no one knows where it will end up, this is fate."
I looked at the paper interviewer: "I seem to know the answer, the betrayers killed you in the last second, and now you are waiting for me!"
”"Looks like you've got it."
The paper man interviewer raised his hand, his fingertips slid over the edge of the mask, he slowly tightened the paper mask, and took it off: "I am one of the reasons why the reincarnation mirror cannot reflect you. ”With the exact same face, the paper interviewer turned out to be exactly the same as me!
No!
I should say, he is me!"
We can't see each other at the same time, it's a rule of fate, and it's only in the third world of deep dreams that I can stay for a few more seconds."
The interviewer's gaze is calm, as if he is telling an ordinary thing."
I don't know if you're from the future or the past, I just want to know, why do you think I have a chance to succeed?"
I never think of myself as a particularly smart person, or with any unique talent, in many ways, I am even inferior to some viewers who watch the live broadcast, not counting Wan Yichang and Liu Banxian, even Truman and Du Yu are much better than me."
I used to ask the same question as you."
The corners of the interviewer's mouth rose, as if he thought of something happy: "No one can guarantee success, but at least you are trying again and again, and your desire for destiny surpasses anyone else!"
”He pointed to the top of his head: "Fate has arranged the future of every life, and a person doesn't even know whether what he wants to do is out of his own will or under the influence of fate, moving forward like a puppet."
If you want to control your own destiny, you can only break the arrangement of fate at every step.And this is an extremely huge project, even if fate can't control your life, it can also indirectly achieve its own goals by influencing other things, any small and inconspicuous thing, it is possible to drag the person who has jumped out of the fateful chessboard, and then drag back into the game.Therefore, getting rid of karma is not something that can be done simply by one or two reincarnations or rebirths. ”"In order to hide your memories, evade the rules set by fate, and bury the nine Dao locks in your body, we have paid unimaginable time and price, of course, the gains are also considerable, and when you open all the nine locks, you will understand that you will gain all the power accumulated in reincarnation.Is there anything else you would like to ask?
”The show examiner was a little bit of my will left over from another time, and this will was hidden in the mask of the paper figure, and the moment he took off the mask, he had already begun to disappear.There are many, many more questions I want to ask, but when I look at myself in front of me, I always have a feeling of unreality: "Can you tell me how many times I have been reincarnated?"
”"Every paper mask here represents a reincarnation of you, my time is running out, let me show you the last thing."
The show examiner walked out, and with each step he took, a part of his body dissipated.Under his leadership, I came to the corner of the fifteenth and fourteenth floors, and the body of the examiner in the show was now transparent."
Fate does not die, reincarnation does not stop, you ask me how many times I have been reincarnated, and the answer is here."
With the last of his strength, he pushed open the iron door that I thought was locked, and behind the heavy black iron door, there were endless paper masks that filled almost the entire underground!"
Same starting point, different ending!
Under the mask, 2.6 billion reincarnations are buried!
It's the whole world that only you know about, 2.6 billion times of rebirth and struggle!
”As this sound continued to echo, the four dragon locking stakes in the depths of the sea all made a crisp sound, and there was an unprecedented stinging sensation throughout the body!
I wanted to scream, but I couldn't make a sound, I felt a lonely feeling to the bone, and an indescribable special emotion permeated my heart.After a long time, I calmed down, and at the last place where the examiner stood in the show, I found a palm-sized reincarnation mirror fragment, which he had been carrying with him, and he didn't know how many reincarnations he had guarded."
Is this the truth?"
I looked at the endless paper masks under the show and closed the iron door with my backhand.Maybe much later, I'll be a paper figure mask on display, but so what?
At least I grasped my destiny and I didn't compromise with fate.Taking out my phone for the show, I looked at my face on the screen."
Are you a madman?
Or is it a legend?
