ALL NOVEL Chapter 691 The Third Life
"—I am—here—the Deceiver—"
The man spoke slowly. The wound on his abdomen did not seem to cause him much pain. He still looked at Jiang You calmly.
"Take my sister away from here."
The man's thinking was obviously a bit rigid, and he spoke word by word from his throat, which looked very strenuous.
"Sister - afraid -"
Jiang You looked at the man in front of him who had already merged with the abyss, and the shock in his heart hit him like a huge wave.
She was almost certain that the humanoid creature lying on the ground was Jiu Yue's real brother.
No matter the one who walked out with Jiuyue or the current one, they are just copies of Jiuyue’s brother’s thoughts and memories.
This is not human at all.
The blood flowing from his wound was not fresh blood at all. It was just some kind of fungus in the abyss with strong learning ability, imitating the juice produced by human blood.
The person in front of me is more like a plant than a person.
Just like the countless hunting plants in the abyss.
He is just a human plant with the memories and behavioral habits of Brother September.
You can say he is a human being because he thinks like a human being.
It can also be said that he is not a human being, because his biological structure does not have human bones and flesh. His flesh and blood are all the result of imitation by fungi.
An unknown fear rose in his heart, and Jiang You couldn't help but break out in a layer of sweat on his back.
She underestimated the abyss.
The power within the abyss is simply beyond the scope of human cognition.
And now, she was even a little unsure whether this was September's illusion or a real abyss.
If it was a real abyss, how could she enter it so easily through Baiyin's spiritual realm.
If it was an illusion, then how could this conscious creature exist in September's memory?
How can a person who exists only in memory have self-awareness of life?
The only explanation is that the abyss can merge everything. Not only living creatures can be merged, but even things that cannot be touched can be affected by the power of the abyss.
Everything I experienced in my previous life seemed insignificant in the face of such power.
At this moment, she was almost certain of her previous guess.
Her rebirth was most likely not accidental.
It is because of the fire in the body that it wants to continue to survive, so it takes the host back in time, back to the past.
She turned her head to look at the dark corner again, and vaguely heard the sound of life blossoming in his body.
……
September didn’t know how much time had passed. She covered her ears to block out all sounds from the outside world.
When Jiang You came back, there was a weakness on her face that Jiu Yue had never seen before.
Jiu Yue timidly lowered her hands from her ears, "Jiang You, the hallucination seems to have disappeared."
As soon as he finished speaking, a weak voice sounded in his ears.
"younger sister--"
She jumped up quickly like a frightened bird, and reflexively wanted to grab the dagger and kill the monster that appeared again.
But just as she grabbed the dagger, a white hand grabbed her wrist.
"No need. Even if you kill him, there will be new ones appearing." Jiang You said calmly.
Hearing this, Jiu Yue's heart skipped a beat and her eyes almost popped out of her head, "Jiang You, you, you also have hallucinations, you also saw it!"
Jiu Yue always believed that among the two, Jiang You was the calmer one and would not be disturbed by hallucinations.
In the face of countless dangers before, she calmly led herself out of trouble.
If Jiang You also falls into hallucination, do they still have hope of escape?
"Jiang You, don't believe it, don't believe this monster!"
"This is all an illusion, all an illusion!"
She hurriedly came up to cover Jiang You's ears.
"Don't listen to him, don't listen, don't listen!"
"This is not an illusion, maybe he is real." Jiang You avoided Jiu Yue's hands and said calmly.
“Really…really…?”
September's outstretched hands froze in mid-air. She looked at the corpses on the ground, then looked at the monster standing beside her, looking at her with extremely gentle eyes.
"How can this be true? There are so many identical monsters. They can't be my brother..."
"This is impossible……"
She shrank back, not daring to believe what Jiang You said.
But she saw Jiang You suddenly walk to the monster corpse closest to her and put his hand directly into its belly, accompanied by a "gurgling" stirring sound.
Jiang You, "Found it."
It was as if something had broken.
She began to pull her arms out slowly, just like the way people in September's hometown pulled lotus stems out of the mud.
But what she pulled out was not the lotus stem, but... an entire white spine.
Jiang You ignored the fear in her eyes, grabbed the spine, walked to Jiu Yue, and threw the thing on the ground.
"Take a good look at this, what is it?"
What else could it be?
This is someone’s backbone!
You pulled out someone's spine and you still ask what this is? ! !
Staring at the bloody bones and the equally bloody hands, Jiu Yue felt that the woman in front of her looked like a perverted murderer.
No...how could her way of spanking someone's spine be so smooth and skillful!
Despite this shock, September was able to escape from her fear and became strangely calm.
She picked up the bone on the ground as if possessed by a ghost, but she felt something was wrong as soon as she touched it.
“This bone…”
She pinched it lightly with her hand in disbelief, and found that her fingernails could easily leave nail marks on the bone.
If human bones were so soft and brittle, they would have died long ago!
"No, this isn't a bone!"
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang You.
Then he looked at the monster next to him, "So this is not an illusion..."
Jiang You comforted her, "Yes, it's not an illusion, we really encountered a monster."
September:"……"
For some reason, at this moment, she felt even more desperate.
This is worse than an illusion, at least it's fake.
And now, you tell me if this is a real monster, or a monster that looks exactly like my brother!
"Then...why does this monster look like my brother?"
September stood up, distanced himself from the monster, and looked at it carefully.
Jiang You said, "There are special energy fluctuations in the abyss. I guess there are three possibilities for the current situation.
First, your brother turned into a monster with special abilities that allowed him to replicate his own life infinitely in some way.
Second, it is the special energy magnetic field inside that causes this endless cycle. Perhaps every monster we kill is actually the same one, just in different time differences.
The third possibility is that some special fungus or plant just happened to devour your brother's flesh and then imitated a similar life.
