MTL - Survivorship Bias-Chapter 115 Snow Spirit

Shen Ti froze in place.

He has imagined many possibilities, about his origin and what he is, thinking that he is reluctant to think about it, too lazy to think about it.

But he never thought that the reason why he appeared in this world was An Wujiu himself, and even the name was given by An Wujiu.

His hands suddenly became hot, and the skin of his hands moved again.

How long does it take for everything to return to its original state, there is no way for him to realize it. At that time, when he first came into the world, he didn't understand anything, and even his speech was extremely difficult. His hands scared many people away, and no one wanted to be with him.

A deformed freak.

That's how they describe him.

Even in a dream, Shen Ti would dream of a mirror with a distorted shape, and the self in the mirror was still familiar to him at first, with black hair, blue-green eyes, and a touch of red between the eyebrows. But suddenly, an aurora-like gorgeous and eerie mist appeared, covering the black room and the silver mirror. After a while, the reflection in the mirror changed, turning into an indescribable monster.

These dreams often appear, and Shen Ti doesn't know the reason. He thinks that he hates these hands too much, so he simply uses a pair of gloves to seal them, so that they can't be seen.

He thought he was just a little weirder than most people.

It wasn't like that, he wasn't human at all.

Obviously she had such an idea in her heart, but Shen Ti always avoided it, especially after she met An Wujiu. How he wished that he and An Wu Jiao were of the same kind, just as he wished to have this person.

His memory is always like a thick white fog that never disperses, there seems to be, but nothing can be seen clearly.

But when Yang Ce said An Wu Jiu's real name, Shen Ti suddenly thought of a lot.

He finally understood why when he saw An Wujiu, he seemed to be able to see him as a child at a glance.

Because he had seen it before.

From the day when An Wu Jiao's father passed away, An Wu Jiao's mental value fell into a huge fluctuation. In that situation, he awakened himself.

The extreme anger, pain, fear, and depression of human beings are their best nourishment. These emotions come from the purer and nobler people, and the stronger the curse will be. Only at this time can humans have the opportunity to approach their realm and summon the reflection of the evil **** through spells.

The little boy swallowed by the great pain, a sealed distant god, met on a cold night many years ago.

The seemingly indifferent God silently accompanied him to grow up in pain, and was gradually cultivated into a "success" sample in pain.

Not even Shen Ti himself knew that his human form was transformed from obsession. It was the indifferent godhead that split into a human desire that almost destroyed him.

I want to be like this little boy, I want to save him, I want to possess him, I want to really embrace his scarred body, instead of looking down from above.

Shen Ti was born in this way.

Yang Ce did not understand why he would show such an expression after he said An Wu Jiu's real name.

But An Wujiu quickly recovered and thanked him again, he took Shen Ti's hand and planned to leave, "Do you want to go out with us?"

"I'll be quiet here." Yang Ce's mind was a little confused, and many memories from ten years ago flooded into his mind, causing endless entanglements. He took a puff of cigarette and glanced at the hands of the two of them, "Shen Ti is yours..."

"Boyfriend." An Wujiu put his fingers on the back of Shen Ti's hand, gave Yang Ce a faint smile, nodded slightly, turned and left.

Down the spiral staircase, many things from the past circled in my mind. An Wu Jiu thought about how to tell Shen Ti these things, and also wanted to know if Shen Ti could also remember something, such as whether he was also related to the book that appeared in his home before, and how did he come here? of the altar.

He… can't remember himself.

These questions are stacked on top of each other, and I don't know where to start.

Pushing open the door of the tower, snowflakes all over his face, sticking to his eyelashes. An Wu Jiu closed his eyes and raised his hand to wipe the falling snow.

"You can ask me one by one, it's fine."

Shen Ti's sudden words made An Wujiu turn his head suddenly, his slightly wide eyes full of surprise.

Shen Ti didn't look at him, still turned his face sideways. Amidst the snow, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the red earrings swayed slightly, like a **** who was not so serious and reliable, but handsome enough.

"I can hear you."

An Wujiu grabbed his arm and dragged him to look directly at him, "Really?"

How can something so outrageous happen?

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "It's really outrageous."

I can hear it!

An Wujiu blinked twice, then licked his dry lips, "When did it start..."

Is it possible that Shen Ti could hear all the things he was thinking before.

"Don't worry, it's not so exaggerated." Shen Ti raised his eyes to the sky and thought for a while, "If you want to hear it very clearly and accurately, it should be in this game, and in our both on..."

An Wu Jiu covered his mouth very timely.

"Are you kidding me?" He asked Shen Ti again, "Can you hear everything?"

Shen Ti shook his head, raised his hand to hold An Wujiu's wrist, and took his hand down, "Occasionally, it's very random, for example, I'm still not sure of your identity." Holding up three fingers, "I swear."

Is it a fairy?

Does that mean that Shen Ti also knows what he was thinking about just now.

About his past, his childhood tragedy, including his bond with the "he" who is suspected of Shen Ti...

“What about others?” An Wujiu asked him, “Can you hear it too?”

Shen Ti shook his head.

"Only me?"

Shen Ti nodded and added, "And I can empathize with you."

“Empathy?” An Wujiu frowned.

Empathy is not difficult, many people can do it and do it well.

Shen Ti heard what he was thinking, and told him directly, "When I say empathy, I may be referring to the physical sense."

An Wujiu looked up at him, "What do you mean?"

Shen Ti raised his hand and covered his heart, "When you are in pain, I also feel heartache, a very real feeling."

An Wujiu doesn't ask any more questions.

These signs all reveal the fact that there is a deeper connection between him and Shen Ti that is not yet clear.

"It's cold outside," he raised his head and said to Shen Ti, "Let's go back first."

The two walked silently in the snow, and suddenly, An Wujiu heard Shen Ti say "thank you" to him, he raised his head and asked him why.

"Thank you for giving me a name." Shen Ti's voice was gloomy, like a drop of warm water falling into An Wu Jiu's frozen heart.

The word Ti is an exhortation left to him by his father, and finally turned into an obsession to accompany him.

Although the obsession itself may be the most careless guy in the world.

"You know..."

Shen Ti hummed, "But I don't remember much now, I only know that I appeared because of you."

An Wujiu squeezed his hand tightly, for no reason, when he clearly knew that Shen Ti was not a real human, a panic would arise spontaneously.

Shen Ti should not appear in this world, An Wujiu is afraid that one day, he will really disappear or return to his promised land.

Shen Ti thought of what Yang Ce said before, and said to An Wujiu: "Yang Ce said that the human innovation plan is to fight against some unnatural force, and one of the researchers who participated in the human innovation plan is a One of them died, do you think there is a reason for me?"

He didn't speak directly, but An Wujiu understood.

“My dad’s death should have nothing to do with you.” An Wujiu said, “I remember very clearly, when he died, his entire eyes turned blue, like glass beads. My mother I was also warned not to look at blue things."

Obviously yesterday."

Shen Ti asked: "You are talking about the blue flame sacrificed at dusk."

An Wujiu nodded, "That blue flame reminds me of a person, to be precise, a voice."

"Looks like we thought of going together." Shen Ti's mouth twitched slightly, "That **** rabbit."

“That’s right.” They walked towards the temple step by step, An Wujiu felt a chill in his heart, “What I’m most afraid of now is that the thing that completely broke my father’s spirit, just hide it. Behind the altar, or..."

He raised his head and looked around, "He is everywhere, it may be a flower and a tree in the altar, it may be an NPC observing us, or even a certain player."

An Wujiu told Shen Ti what the rabbit had said at that level in the containment center, "He said that before us, only one player had cracked that game."

Shen Ti also heard this sentence, "You think that player may be Rabbit himself."

“It’s just my conjecture.” An Wujiu continued to move forward, his feet were stiff from the deep snow, “That rabbit always has a fully aware perspective, and he said , someone like me, my extreme emotions are what he sees the most. He once tried to drive me crazy, but didn't succeed."

"I think...the rabbit and the player who cleared the level may be one of his clones."

This is the scariest. If their enemies were people, factions, or even data, they wouldn't be so uncontrollable and unknowable, but now An Wujiu can't even know who the person who killed his father was.

His existence, like Shen Ti's existence, is a terrifying unknown.

“You once said that you were punished by your peers and kept repeating some kind of pain, but can you really feel the pain at that time?” An Wujiu thought it was incredible, or said At that time, he had been stripped out and turned into a human body.

The **** who exudes blue light is Shen Ti's kind? Under the strong interference of his spirit, An Wujiu survived and memorized a few words, but there was a deviation in the way or content of the summoning, so Shen Ti was dragged into this world by accident.

An Wujiu was about to say something when she suddenly heard Wu You's voice.

"No fault!"

He looked flustered and ran towards them very anxiously, leaving Nan Shandu behind.

"What's wrong?" An Wujiu took his arm, "What happened."

"Noah is gone." Wu You gasped and told him, "We searched the whole city and didn't see her."

Nan Shan also came over and told An Wujiu the story, "Noah was with us half an hour ago, at that time she proposed to go out of the city to see, I thought about it, Decided to ask the townspeople for some food and water just in case, but after we got the food and left the townspeople's house, we found that Noah was gone, we have been searching for a long time, from house to house, but there was no news."

“It shouldn’t disappear out of thin air.” An Wujiu thought for a while, “She said she wants to leave the city, have you visited the city gate?”

"I looked for her, but I didn't see her." Wu You said.

An Wujiu didn't think it was right, he thought that he had observed the pattern of the Water City on the top of the mountain. The city was built in a plain with a valley and a temple backed by it. A huge square of land.

Shen Ti stretched his waist a lot, "Why don't you go back and look for it."

Wu You thought he was unreliable, "Behind?"

“Behind the temple.” An Wujiu said.

So the four of them bypassed the huge temple and steps and came to the back, only to find that there were no steps at the back of the temple, but a straight stone wall like a cliff. This kind of structure is very strange, making An Wujiu think of a possibility.

Generally speaking, to build such a pyramid-shaped structure, steps will be built on both sides, but such a structure is easy to be attacked by the enemy. If the reverse side is a stone wall perpendicular to the ground, once the enemy attacks, the difficulty will be Greatly improved, there is only one way to attack the temple.

He didn't know why he suddenly thought of the picture of the war. Not long after, he heard Nanshan's voice.

"Is that Noah?"

Wu You looked over and found that there was another person standing beside Noah. Looking closely, it turned out to be Zhou Yijue. He hurriedly ran over to hold Noah's hand and dragged him behind him, away from Zhou Yijue.

Zhou Yijue regained her senses, turned her head to look at Wu You, and smiled, "Don't be so defensive about me, if it weren't for me, your little sister would have been hooked by the monster."

Monster?

"I heard she was going out of the city, and that was exactly what I was going to do," Zhou Yijue said, "So I followed her, and I ran into a ghost too."

An Wujiu walked over and asked Noah what happened.

Noah frowned, "There was a white woman here just now."

Hair, eyelashes, skin and pupils are all white and transparent, like a snow fairy.

"Her ankles and wrists are in shackles." Noah told them, "She wanted us to untie her, and I agreed."

Her eyes were full of sadness, and there seemed to be ice crystals with tears in her empty white pupils.

Shen Ti crossed his arms and listened to the story carefully, "Then what? Generally speaking, isn't this kind of fairy tale a plot of repayment?"

Noah glanced at him, "What I said is true, if you don't believe me, look at him." She pointed to Zhou Yijue, "That woman really wants to repay her kindness, she gave us a fire."

An Wu Jiu looked at Zhou Yijue and saw his clenched palm slowly spread out, inside was a weak, jumping blue fire.

Blue again.

"What's the use of this?" Shen Ti walked over, stood in front of Zhou Yijue, bent down, and wanted to blow out the fire in his hand.

But Zhou Yijue guessed that he would not do good things, and put his hands away, making Shen Ti's plan unsuccessful.

Noah said: "She told us that when the sacrifice is made to light the three pillars with this fire, we can obtain the miracle of rebirth."

A miracle of rebirth?

An Wujiu looked at Zhou Yijue.

"I know what you're going to say."

Zhou Yijue took the lead and said, "Since you have given me a chance, I must try."
