Chapter 757 Reincarnation Reappears
Junsheng's body was so weak that he had no ability to resist. I had no choice but to dodge backwards, thinking that if the opponent kept chasing me, I would have no choice but to run away.
I haven't figured out the specific situation when I entered here, and I haven't even found out the location of the old lady. I can't die before I leave.
The pig's hand with dark brown patches was getting closer and closer to me. On the rough skin, the fur gathered in clumps, as if it had a skin disease, which was very uncomfortable to watch.
The split pig toe stretched out in front of my eyes, and just when it was about to touch the top of my head, I dodged it.
It caught the chance, its expression changed slightly, and its ears flapped, causing a stink.
I looked at that pig face and really didn't know how to communicate with the other person. I stood still. Since it didn't mean to hurt me, I wouldn't lose control and run away in a hurry.
Perhaps seeing that I didn't run away, the upright-walking pig's attitude softened a little. Its huge and plump body pressed against the door frame, looking down at me condescendingly.
An adult pig is much larger than a living person, and the pig in front of me is even bigger than a normal domestic pig. It walks upright, is over two meters tall, and its scalp touches the door beam. It looks more like a monster.
"Pigs speak human words, this world is really crazy." I muttered in my heart, but I didn't do anything irrational. After all, I am not a gentleman. Under the appearance of a six- or seven-year-old child, hidden is a person who has gone through countless times. A strong soul tempered by life and death.
"Is it Junsheng? Why did you come here?"
Before I could speak, another pig's voice sounded in the room. When I looked up, I saw a crumpled pig face sticking out of the room.
"Don't scare him." The voice was a little old, and the pig who appeared later had an ugly and scary smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Xu is here, they don't dare to bully you."
A pig spoke human language, and when it opened and closed its mouth, it also touched the long hair and black spots on its face. The kindness it tried so hard to pretend seemed extremely scary to me.
Fortunately, I have a strong psychological quality and quickly calmed down, thinking about what he said.
"Uncle Xu? In the old grandma's story, there seems to be such an old man. When Jun Sheng took his grandma away, it was an old man who was keeping watch. At that time, he seemed to have left for some reason, so Jun Sheng could take the old man with him. Grandma escaped." Although the old man had eaten human flesh, he was not bad to the core. At the last moment, he stood up and let the two children go. I think if Junsheng had not turned back at that time, he would have been the one who was eaten instead of Junsheng.
"Is he the same person? But according to the old lady, the old man also survived, and they met once after the war." I looked uncertain, guessing all the possibilities: "Is it possible that as long as I have eaten in the pig cage apartment? People who are 'meat', no matter whether they survive in the end or not, will be thrown into the animal realm after death and return here to become a half-man, half-pig monster?"
I don’t know if my guess is right or not. There is a big loophole in thinking this way. I always feel that something is wrong: “What I am experiencing now seems to be the night when the old lady left the pig cage apartment, which is also the night before Jun Sheng was eaten. , this place is obviously the animal realm, belonging to two different worlds, why does this tragedy continue to happen again? Is this the punishment of the reincarnated animal realm? To sink into the nightmare in the heart, and never be able to escape? "
Although I have reached the other side of reincarnation, the world I am exposed to is still inside the pig cage apartment. All the doors and windows leading to the outside world in this building are sealed, and I cannot see the sky and earth of this world at all. , not sure about everything here.
"This place... must be the animal path..." Gradually, I became a little shaken.
"Why are you so dazed?" Before I could react, the pig's hand grabbed my neck and lifted me up from the ground with a little force: "If you dare to leak even a word of what we said in the room just now, , you will be the next one to eat, remember?"
Junsheng's body was thin and frail, and he had no power to resist in the hands of this pig. Although I had a trump card, it didn't mean to hurt me, so I was not ready to use it and nodded quickly.
"If you want to survive here, you have to be obedient. We can't guarantee that you can survive to the end, but at least we can let you live for a while." The fat pig's hand pressed on the top of my head, and the expression on the pig's face It was disgusting, a cold light flashed in my eyes, but I didn't say anything more.
"The banquet will be held tomorrow morning, and the main course has been decided." It pulled out a dirty cloth ball from its pocket, and after shaking it open, the number twenty-one was crookedly written on it.
"You have the best relationship with that child. It's up to you to hand this thing over to her later." The pig's hand pressed my head with great strength: "You don't need me to teach you?"
After it took out the cloth, the pig next to him, who called himself Uncle Xu, said nothing again, but had a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
After taking the dirty cloth, I stood in front of the two monsters and hesitated for a long time: "Is twenty-one her number?"
"What are you talking about? Go quickly!"
When it shouted like this, I didn't care about anything else. I took the cloth and prepared to run downstairs, thinking of avoiding these two monsters first before making any plans.
But who would have thought that before I ran a few steps away, my shoulder was firmly held down by the pig again. When I turned around, I saw a fierce look on its face, with the corners of its mouth cracked, revealing the roots of its yellowed teeth.
"Little bastard, where are you running? Are you dying?"
His tone was cold and filled with murderous intent, which made me shudder. At the same time, I was also wondering, is this pig crazy? Didn't it ask me to leave just now?
"Don't scare him. I think he was frightened by you." Uncle Xu walked out of the door, slapped off the monster's arm, and turned to look at me: "Downstairs is the territory of Room 4. You are here in the middle of the night." Are you tired of living here and want to be eaten?"
"Room 4?" This is a completely new term to me, and I have no idea what it means.
"The first man-eater killed in Longchang came out of their room. Everyone in that room was a lunatic, more ruthless than an animal..." Uncle Xu rambled on. From his words, I realized the horror of Room 4.
Cannibalism is unacceptable to most species, and it is even more difficult for humans to cross this threshold because of their ideological and moral constraints. Everything has a trigger, and the trigger for Longchang's eating of "meat" was Room No. 4.
When food is in short supply, most people think about breaking through the blockade and escaping from the war zone. Under the bombardment of artillery fire, only a few were able to escape by chance, and most of them turned into cold corpses on the ruins.
Death becomes a number, and people's hearts become numb under the torment of fear and despair. Madness and morbidity begin from this moment.
The first smell of meat came from Room 4. At first, after finding out the origin of the meat, everyone was angry. People who ate "meat" were beaten to death, and the corpses of those who died tragically were holding the meat. Next to the iron pot of soup. It was a very restless night, and on the next day, people discovered that the body had disappeared.
No one knows where the body went, or everyone knows where the body went, but no one is willing to find out.
Only when you are forced to that point will you understand how tempting the word "living" is.
The atmosphere in Longchang has changed. From the perpetrators being beaten to death, to acquiescence, to the formulation of new rules, "meat" has become a delicacy that is obvious but cannot be said.
Everyone knows its origin, but it is tacitly understood. This is a weakness in most people's character.
In this subtle change, the tenants in Room 4 have become more and more unscrupulous. They have become completely abnormal and believe that eating "meat" is the only right choice.
With the acquiescence of the vast majority of people, a small number of people who objected were put on the table by the lunatic in Room 4, and the mistake later turned into a right.
Uncle Xu finally gave me a warning, telling me not to mess with the people in Room 4.
In fact, I understand this even if he doesn't say it. There are less than ten people in a room, but they occupy an entire floor by themselves. This is enough to explain the problem. No one wants to live with them, or most of the people who live with them. All have become food.
"The cannibalism started in Room 4. That should also be the place where the obsession was first born. You can go and see it if you have the chance." The pig cage apartment was shrouded in obsession, and the thoughts with deep malice took root here. In a building, it still exists after decades. If you want to completely dispel it, I am afraid you can only cut it off from the root.
Following the direction of Uncle Xu's finger, I left in a hurry. The old grandma lived on the first floor. In order to avoid the floor where Room 4 was located, I went around and around and wasted a long time to find it.
"This place is far away from the top floor. It is difficult to seize the glimmer of life and cross the Bronze Mirror to the other side of reincarnation." I was worried. I saw no other "people" along the way, not even the tenants of the red building. I'm not sure whether they are hiding somewhere, or whether they are obsessed with it and have returned to their respective bodies on this side of reincarnation.
The corridor is deep and intertwined with blue bricks. From time to time, the sound of chewing can be heard from the doors on both sides. I lost my judgment and hearing. I did not dare to stir up trouble. I took the cloth and compared it with the numbers marked on the door panel in front of me. I sighed deeply in my heart, secretly put the strip of cloth away and stuffed it into my pocket.
Decades ago, what happened to Jun Sheng happened again, but this time the outcome was in my hands.
In order to save his old grandmother, he knelt down to the demons all over the building, hoping to replace them with his own flesh and blood.
I can't do what he did, and I won't kneel down and beg the murderer. Although we use the same body, I am not him after all.
The back of my hand crossed the bone jade box in my arms. The madness and blood redness in my eyes slowly disappeared. Without any hesitation, I raised my hand and pushed open the door in front of me.
