Chapter 1393 The Call of the Stars (XIX)

"I followed the mysterious coordinates left behind by the Aldebaran galaxy and came to this universe. I originally thought that what was waiting for me was some ferocious demon god that was difficult to deal with, but the development of things far exceeded my expectations. "

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Gu Yi closed her eyes slightly, as if she had fallen asleep, but the people who were drinking tea opposite could hear a hint of pain in her tone of voice.

"I was attacked." Gu Yi said, and then she focused on the young people opposite. She didn't need to speak, and the other people understood what kind of attack she had been, just like they had suffered before. That's the same.

But Gu Yi seemed to be in good condition, Xu Shangqi thought to himself that the wound on his tongue no longer hurt. He even felt that he was lucky, because the wound in the mouth healed the fastest.

"I know, you are thinking, why didn't I suffer serious organ damage like you?" Gu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I have lived for a long time, almost reaching the end of my life, and those extra years It’s not that I’m crazy, I have already perfected my state of mind during the days of dealing with magic.”

"I have the ability to answer all my questions, and I can come up with an acceptable perspective on my environment and the things I encounter. No matter what kind of accident I am in, fear has never been my main theme. "

Gu Yi tilted her head to the side slightly, as if she didn't realize how much shock her words had brought to these young people. She still had soft eyes and a soft tone.

"When I was young, I also went through a period of confusion, but it turns out that as long as you live long enough, you can always find a suitable answer to every question you care about."

Xu Shangqi dipped his fingertips into the tea and said, "So, should we pursue immortality?"

Gu Yi shook his head and said: "Eternal life without power is meaningless. I can live until now because I am good enough to fight."

Several people were speechless at this answer, but Gu Yi went on to say what she really wanted to say: "After gaining strength and lifespan, I have endless leisure time to explore myself. This will It is a necessary process, and it is also the fundamental reason why I am sitting here talking to you intact.”

"So as long as your willpower is strong enough, you can be immune to these injuries?" Wanda asked.

"No, no matter how strong my willpower is, I can't resist the all-pervasive darkness. I must be in a complete state of mind, with no desires or guilt, no guilt, no hesitation, and naturally no fear."

Among all the people present, only Xu Shangqi slightly understood the artistic conception of Gu Yi's obscure words. This is more inclined to Eastern philosophy, just like "don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts", and also like the Buddhist philosophy. "Great Perfection" and "emptiness".

Xu Shangqi's eyes fell on the black patterns on Gu Yi's face and head. That thing didn't look very friendly, and it was not consistent with the fact that Gu Yi had resisted the invasion. He even doubted the mage. Can he really understand all of his status, or is he blinded by something like them?

As if he noticed Xu Shangqi's eyes, Gu Yi showed a smile and said: "You must want to ask again, if this is the case, why did I end up in the situation I am in now?"

"I believe you have already seen that my condition is not good. It can even be said to be in danger. I am trapped in this universe and cannot leave. I am afraid I still need your help."

"What happened to you?" Wanda leaned forward and asked worriedly.

When she saw that Gu Yi was still in good condition, she still had some luck, thinking that maybe this powerful Supreme Mage could help them get home. However, things did not develop as she expected, and Gu Yi might not be able to help them get home. Not as comfortable as she appears on the outside.

Gu Yi sighed softly and said:

"The perfect state of mind I have cultivated over the years has indeed allowed me to resist the invasion of darkness again and again. I have stayed here for more than 40 days."

As soon as the words fell, exclamations began to ring out, and everyone who could make a sound exclaimed. For a few people who had only experienced two short nights here, 40 was an unimaginable number.

In just two nights, almost everyone lost their important organs and experienced madness and pain. No one was confident that they could survive the next night, but this seemingly gentle mage After persisting here alone for 40 days, it is understandable that she is not in good condition.

"In fact, I was almost unscathed in the first 29 days." Gu Yi blinked and said: "Monsters on the ground can't cause harm to me. The weird and chaotic madness that invades at night is nothing to me. But a fleeting storm, no matter how crazy it is, will always pass as long as I stick to my heart.”

"But everything changed on the night of the 29th day... The consequences of some of my previous actions destroyed my original perfect state of mind. A crack appeared in my defense. From then on, the whispers started from there. It kept coming from the cracks in the road.”

"They are getting closer." Gu Yi's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but this short sentence made the hairs of the people opposite him stand on end, as if they had been splashed on A basin of cold water.

"Their tentacles have squeezed into the cracks, and my eyes and brain have noticed their existence, so the patterns you see have emerged. Maybe it won't be long before they will be born from them."

"What are they?" Wanda asked in a trembling tone.

"They are the stars, and they are also the old days...the day when the stars return, the time when the old days return." Ancient One's tone became softer and softer, she repeated this sentence that she had heard repeatedly, and then said: "The stars have aligned."

"Then we, then we, how are we going to deal with them? We can't even see them." Wanda said with some collapse.

But Jarvis noticed a key point. He looked into Gu Yi's eyes and asked, "What caused a flaw in your state of mind?"

Everyone quieted down, waiting for an answer. In their opinion, since they had been able to persist in the darkness alone for so many days, there was no reason for their heart to be suddenly broken. So what exactly happened to Gu Yi? What makes this extremely powerful mage trapped here?

"Guilt."

This answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Guilty..." Wanda muttered softly. She read the word on the tip of her tongue, but she could not understand the deep meaning.

"You should have followed the footsteps of monsters and come here, right?" Gu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and asked. Several people nodded, and Gu Yi continued:

"I lured almost all the monsters in New York City here and destroyed them."

Then Gu Yi gently closed his eyes and said:

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the whole truth, because even retelling them would break my defenses completely, and there's obviously no one here who can fix it."

"Always, what I cannot accept more than death is losing control. If this day is destined to come, I will resolutely choose the former."

"No." Jarvis said instinctively.

"Don't worry, children." Gu Yi slowed down his tone again and said, "This is just a hypothesis. That day is still far away. After I returned from my travels, I realized the importance of a long life, so I We are trying to save ourselves, and hope lies in you.”

There was a brief but long moment of silence in the room. Wanda calmed down. She raised her empty eyes and looked at Gu Yi and asked: "What do you want us to do? What else do you think we can do?"

"Don't be pessimistic, children." The corners of Gu Yi's mouth raised slightly, and his tone was very brisk, as if he was the most common teacher in summer camps who reminds children to pick up good things, using a slightly childish way. asked in an exaggerated tone:

“Do any of you have any gardening skills?”

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads. Laili sighed softly and said as briefly as possible: "I can even feed a cactus to death, don't count on me."

"Perhaps you haven't learned that in the cutting technique, some gardeners will deliberately create wounds on the plants, but the purpose is not to kill them, but to stimulate the regeneration phenomenon so that they have stronger vitality and make them more durable. Well adapted to the world.”

"I don't understand at all." Wanda shook her head and said.

Several other people felt the same as her. Gu Yi was really the most traditional mage. Everything had to be expressed with complex metaphors and tortuous metaphors, as if it was impossible without some mysterious vocabulary that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. It's like talking.

After a few rounds of tea, Gu Yi slowly stood up, put his hands in front of him and said to several people: "It's getting dark soon, I'm afraid you have to leave."

"The longer you stay in this universe, the crazier the attacks you will encounter. I am not sure whether you will be attacked at the same level if you stay with me. If that is the case, you will not survive."

"So, you should go back to New York City and find what you are looking for before a frightening attack completely engulfs your hearts."

"What exactly are we looking for?"

"The truth about the return of the past, a way out of here, or just... a way to survive."

After leaving the temple, everyone had their own thoughts, but Wanda exhaled. Miss Witch seemed much calmer, and several others were also surprised by her state.

"As long as there is a goal." Wanda shook her head slightly and said, "Besides, there are indeed many weird things here waiting for us to investigate, isn't there?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind them. Everyone stopped and turned their heads, and saw the huge temple gradually disappearing under the magical power, slowly disappearing, as if what they had just experienced was just a dream.

"Wait, Meng?" Xu Shangqi was suddenly stunned for a moment. He stopped and fell to the end of the team. The people walking in front noticed that he had stopped moving, so they all turned to look at him.

Xu Shangqi went to the bush next to the grass and broke a branch, and wrote a line of words on the ground on the edge of the grass.

"Have any of you had any dreams so far?"

Laili and Jarvis looked at each other, and Jarvis shook his head and said, "We don't even have time to sleep, so how can we have time to dream?"

"Then we can try it tonight." Xu Shangqi wrote.

"What's the point?" Wanda asked.

"Why at night?" Xu Shangqi wrote quickly: "Why do those things only appear at night? What's the meaning?"

The faces of several people quickly became solemn. Wanda ran quickly to the car on the side of the road and said: "Let's find a place to stay and see what's special at night."
