In the dark night, in the remote town of Dongying, a man in a black and brown fur coat is walking alone in a somewhat dilapidated building, carefully looking for strange clues.

He carried a small chandelier in his left hand, a monocle of mystery-treated glasses on his face, and all kinds of bizarre props and medicine tubes and powder packets hung from his waist. The huge cross pendant on his chest released a crystal light, and on the mahogany sword behind it, there were faint talisman light patterns flickering.

The town is silent, but in the spirit world, it is bustling. The yellow glow cast by the dim streetlights attracts mosquitoes and makes the deserted streets feel lonely.

The compass in his hand directed the signals that appeared and disappeared, and the man narrowed his eyes, and he raised his head to look not far away, a small house that had not been repaired for a long time.

Walking slowly, pushing the door in, casually throwing a trigger-type mine at the door, and pasting a talisman, he heard a female voice with a sense of grievance, as if she were crying, and seemed to be chuckling.

- The first thing to do is to identify the category of weird.

The man lifted the chandelier in his left hand and blew lightly, while his right hand reached out to his waist and pulled out an old-fashioned shotgun with a deliberately shortened barrel.

When he ascended, the chandelier, which had been almost extinguished, immediately burst into flames, and a brilliant golden light illuminated the entire hall of the hut - and countless layers of bloody handprints appeared in every corner of the house, blocking all doors and windows like a pattern.

At first glance, these bloody handprints look like the branches and flowers of cherry blossoms, and they have a strange beauty at the same time.

The light of the chandelier made them manifest and melt, and countless blood began to flow down the corridors and sides of the walls, releasing a soul-chilling aura.

It's not a ghoul or a yaksha, or a monster that has grown into a spirit, but a spirit of a cherry blossom tree or a resentful spirit.

But they shouldn't be so strong, and the weirdness that can make both Matsu and Nakajima disappear shouldn't be so simple.

There have always been old men and young men missing in Fengqi Town recently, which sounds like just a rather ordinary one of the strange events that have often happened in the past ten years, but when several well-known exorcists in Dongying have disappeared here, this ordinary little thing has become serious.

Smelling something unusual, coupled with the invitation of a familiar friend, the unknown mysterious exorcist was invited to take a shot and came to a region far from home.

But now it seems that things are far more tricky than he thought.

Taking two steps back slightly, avoiding the cherry blood that seemed to be deliberately flowing towards him, the man hung the chandelier on a preset hook on his chest, then pulled out a lilac potion from his waist and expertly filled it with two characteristic shotgun bullets.

This is the Soul Water fermented and extracted from the fierce tooth grass grown on the ancient battlefield, although it is poisonous, it can be used to strengthen the soul strength and physical fitness of the user in a short time, and now with the holy silver powder built into the warhead, it is best to destroy the soul body enemy.

The woman's laughter was approaching, and the blood flowing from the walls and floors began to gather and take shape, turning into the shape of the roots of a tree, and in a silent way, these roots had circled behind the man, intending to launch a surprise attack and penetrate the man's internal organs.

Then the mine was triggered, and the huge explosion mixed with the violently diffusing light charm ash spread throughout the entire hut, and the female voice that had been complaining and chuckling suddenly turned into a terrible scream, and the man skillfully rolled to avoid the moment of the explosion, and also listened to the sound, held the gun in one hand, and struck a blow in the direction from which the sound came.

The purple light flickered, and the reaction of the Soul Potion and the Exorcism Silver Powder was very violent, like acid-base neutralization, which could release an incredibly high heat for the spirit, because the resentful soul that appeared in the form of Fu Ash was pierced at the moment when it was forced to appear, and there were countless corrosive holes on the pale and beautiful soul.

But even so, the resentful spirit still did not dissipate, it turned its head, the soul continued to heal, and on the dignified face, the dark eyes without eyeballs stared at the man who shot him, making him gasp.

In normal eyes, there is only a scattered mist, but in the monocle, there is a beautiful, but resentful woman.

According to locals, this is supposed to be a female college student who has been abandoned in recent years and finally died in a rental house with her newly born child. The man understands why the other person becomes weird, but it is a little difficult to understand why the other person is so powerful.

Eating an exorcism shotgun can still heal itself, even the ghost Buddha who was expelled in Liangshan Temple back then does not have this vitality - of course, the ghost Buddha is also a little bigger, that guy is a full five stories high.

No, where does the vitality of resentful souls come from, only obsession and soul power support them.

Another roll, throwing a flashbang with lightning wood powder, the man who temporarily forced the banshee back hung the shotgun back on his waist, and then pulled out the mahogany sword, slashing through the blood-soaked roots that were constantly wrapping towards him—he remembered the information again, the schoolgirl was very fond of plants, and she usually kept some potted plants and succulents.

Could it be that it's not a ghost, but a plant?

The wraith had already begun to charge, outpacing the sound, and the man could only pick up the chandelier again and blow - the scorching light lit up, the power of the ancient chandelier that had once been enshrined in the pyramids of Egypt was temporarily depleted, and as a result, the wraith let out another scream and was forced to retreat, and he also noticed that there was a round of shadows that still did not change under this dazzling light.

It was a small tree potted plant behind the living room of the cottage.

"Holy!"

With a holy word, the man did not hesitate to tear off the huge cross necklace on his chest, and then threw it in that direction - it was a processed radioactive explosive, and the usual crystal light was not holy light, but radiant light in the true sense of the word.

And now, the explosion of radioactive explosives activated by the password, the disordered magnetic field completely dispersed all the strange phenomena around, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the man took out the white phosphorus he had prepared as quickly as possible, and then threw it in the direction of the small tree potted plant, and shot a shot.

Boom, the fire burned, the strange trees turned to ashes in the blazing white flames, and the screams of the resentful spirits slowly faded away.

Although less than fifteen seconds had passed since he entered the house, the man was already sweating profusely and his heart was full of exhaustion.

"The weirdness is getting stronger...... I don't know what method will be used to solve these monsters in the future......"

With a long sigh, he staggered out of the hut that had begun to burn, then pulled a chocolate bar from his waist, took it in his mouth, and muttered a little indistinctly, "Why do they appear out of nowhere?" There must be a source behind this, but it's been more than ten years, and I can't find any clues. ”

Men don't smoke or drink, and that thing affects the speed and accuracy of the chanting, though no one knows which god will answer those prayers, and perhaps it is some kind of extremely powerful weirdness.

But dealing with weirdness with weirdness is something that every exorcist in this world is good at.

"This time I have to get them to pay for it — every time it's a task like this, I'm going to have to live at least twenty years short."

Chewing on the chocolate bar slowly, with his back to the burning hut, he was ready to go back to the Northeast for a few months of vacation, and go to the Liaozhou Baths that are comparable to the ancient Roman baths to rest.

Although he himself knows that weirdness is everywhere, and he will definitely encounter several incidents even if he is on vacation, but the heart of a man who wants to go on vacation is stronger than diamonds.

However, as the sound of the voice sounded, the keen man suddenly realized that the fire behind him, which should have continued to burn, was now gradually extinguishing.

In the sound of the tide created by the evening breeze blowing in the sea of trees, the cold shadow began to spread.

“…… No way? ”

The man's footsteps froze in place with his back to the fire and shadow, and he forced himself to compose himself, slowly turning his head to look behind him.

Then he saw a huge pale white cherry tree slowly breaking through the ground in the center of the town.

- Babble, babble~

Cheerful children's songs sounded, and the voice of the giant tree was innocent.

But, in inverse proportion to the sound, on the behemoth cherry blossom tree, there hung countless dead bones or fresh heads, and at its roots, countless corpses, old or recently captured, gathered together like a bag—there were also a few men who were quite familiar, well-known companions of Toei, but who were obviously burping now.

Obviously, there is no good or evil in the giant tree, but it only absorbs from the human heart, the way human beings treat human beings.

And then.

In these ways, we treat human beings in the same way.

Maybe this weird thought this was the way to make friends—look at those corpses, how close.

Below Fengqi Town, there may be an ancient battlefield or some other place where many people have died, the moment he saw this tree of resentment, the man roughly understood why this strange thing appeared, and the other party's principle of action, but what can he do if he knows?

"Grass."

Until now, even he could only subconsciously let out this sigh, the man turned around and ran without hesitation, but the huge tree of resentment behind him had no intention of giving up - when he landed, with the branches dancing wildly, the blood-colored rain began to cover the entire Fengqi Town, and countless roots composed of blood and water roared and attacked.

……

"Why do the supernatural exist? Why do monsters appear out of thin air? There's got to be a reason for everything, and I'm going to find it, figure out why, and then end it. ”

Decades later, the old one-armed exorcist whispered to his young apprentice, "I once banished the demon of dusk that devoured hope in a deserted city, I once sealed the revived resentful spirit sacred tree in the small town of Dongying, and I fought against the horde of ghouls in the frozen land of North America—all these have brought me fragmented clues, and I know that behind all the weirdness, there is a source called 'greatness'." ”

"But that's all, my life is coming to an end, and the last meaning of my life is to pass on this knowledge, tell you, let you continue, find the truth."

"But, the teacher ......"

In front of the old man, kneeling on the ground obediently, among the many apprentices, a white-haired girl asked with some confusion: "Doesn't the textbook always say that the reason why weirdness is weird is because their existence itself is beyond logic?" ”

Until now.

In addition to a few large cities on the surface that are guarded by holy places, there are only large gathering places underground and space cities in space.

And the surface of the earth has almost completely been occupied by countless anomalous weirdness.

In order to connect space and the underworld, in order to find the strange truth, no matter how dangerous the exorcist's job is, there will always be someone who will stick to it - but not everyone is willing to chase the truth behind the weirdness, but just carry out their own work.

"Listen, humanity can never give up asking 'why.'"

However, at this moment, the girl heard the old man's calm reply.

Sitting in his seat, the gray-haired old man squinted.

He stretched out his lone hand and stared at the lines in his palm—the alternating Ouroboros, the concentric circles spreading through the mist, the radiant sacred trees, the shattered golden orbs, and the radiations that stretched into the distance.

There are many more lines, which are all trophies he has taken from the unknown and strange in this life, and he is not angry at the girl's words, but just patiently teaches.

"Because, asking why for something you don't know, something you don't want to admit, and then trying to change it, is the most essential desire of human beings."

"Actually, the truth is not important, what matters is the process of finding the truth, finding what you want, that is the meaning of life."

In the old man's soft narration, a maiden heard.

She heard a man's confusion and determination, like a fire burning in the abyss, even if it would be extinguished at any moment, but still determined to burn.

The flame may come in many different shapes and colors, but what remains constant is its light, its temperature, and the nature of its burning, inheritance.

A new flame has been lit.

Another person understands what a desire is, what a responsibility is, and what a heart of inquiry is.

[——The Flame of Seeking.] 】

In the pitch-black soul space, there are still many flames of light.

The light flame wanted to continue floating, but it was covered by a hand, covering all the light and shadow.

The blue-purple soul light flickered, and Su Sun raised his head and looked at the golden light in silence.

Do you want to save them? 】

There is a voice that is soft, melodious, compassionate, and loving: "Although they were once you, they are no longer fully you, their fate is not yet determined, and if you wish, you can save them. 】

"Save."

And after a moment of silence, a sigh-like voice sounded.

"Save."

Repeating this word, Su Sun chuckled, and the young man's voice said lightly: "Save? Where to start? ”

"I don't see anything that needs to be saved."

And so, confused thoughts came.

He seemed to be puzzled, wondering why Su Sun had such an answer.

The young man closed his eyes, and his mind came up with the three lives he had just seen and what he might encounter.

In the first paragraph, the Great Seal is broken, but the Great Being does not come out, and the aura is revived in the world.

In the second stage, the Great Seal is not broken, the Great Being continues to be sealed, and the aura is revived in the world.

In the third paragraph, the Great Seal, the Great Existence has no abnormality, even the aura has not been restored, and there is only a world where all kinds of derived Great Existence information are gradually derived.

All three lives have their own imperfections.

In the first period of life, he was alone, fighting to the end; In the second life, in order to achieve his own goals, he did not hesitate to incarnate the Tao and become a heavenly punishment; Although there is nothing unfulfilled in the third life, and the life is not unhappy, until the end of life, he is still searching and cannot find a way to fulfill his wishes.

Yes, it's true that it's not perfect, it's not very happy, and if you have to distinguish between good and bad, it's obviously not "HappyEnd".

That's why perfection comes to ask.

If he could, would Su Sun save these possibilities and change all the 'good and bad' in half and half of the multiverse?

This is His way.

He extended an invitation to Su Sun.

And Su Sun's answer was 'no'.

"I am me, Su Sun is Su Sun, they may have the same name and surname as me, and they may have the same origin from the perspective of your great existence - but they are not me, but independent beings."

In this reply, in the face of the golden light flashing in front of his eyes, the young man replied seriously and seriously: "I know that Perfect you love everything, and I want all people to live a 'perfect' life, with a 'happy and happy' story and ending. ”

"I admire and even love your path. But. ”

Shaking his head with such a smile, Su Sun's tone carried a hint of blame: "If you are going to ask other Su Sun himself, it may make some sense - only they are qualified to make decisions - but why are you asking me?" ”

"Am I entitled to deny the lives of others?"

They are you. And now you, as the most powerful of all of you, at this moment, can undo those tragedies. 】

The perfect voice sounded, calm and benevolent: [Do you like those fates? Don't want to change the course of those dark tributaries? 】

"Don't like it...... However, I will not 'say no'. ”

Slowly sitting cross-legged on the ground, Su Sun supported his chin with his hand, he fell into deep thought, and then said softly: "Everyone is trying to live, it is like a flame burning, this is not light, but it is not darkness either...... How can I easily deny the tragedy of all human beings in another world as 'unsuccessful'? ”

"I know, they are miserable, there are a lot of deaths, even if it is another time and space, just watching my heart seems to be gripped, if it were me, I would never be able to accept that fate, I must rise up and resist, I must change everything......"

"But because of this, and because of this, I, who have not experienced all this misery, would judge all this at will...... Then I'm too arrogant. ”

[Arrogance is the meaning of the existence of the strong. 】

With a soft sigh, the voice in the golden halo was puzzled: [If the strong don't even do these things and don't judge, then why do the strong people exist? 】

[If the strong don't change their fate and don't change the established trajectory, then who else can do it? 】

In this way, the perfect voice seems to come from the far side: "See, heartbeat, save." Arrive, witness, and change. 】

"Arrogance is the responsibility of the strong, the meaning of the strong, we should change all the multiverse, save everything - for me, that's it.] 】

"There are two directions to change, one is to deny, to change completely, and to add one's own determination of correctness. The other is to admit that, on the basis of the original, the correct superposition is correct, and the correct is improved. ”

"In addition to denying it, the strong can also admit that although I am not a strong person now, I want to do it."

Closing his eyes, the young man said in a deep voice: "I will not arrogantly judge what a tragedy is, and then take the initiative to tamper with it - the strong are the evil, that is, because I change everything without permission to obey myself, if I want to become a good being, I must learn, in addition to 'denial', learn to admit it." ”

"Save? Where to start? They are shining in their own lives, even if they sink, it is only their own choice, they just need help, opportunity, not salvation. ”

Saying this, Su Sun slowly got up, and he calmly said to the near halo in front of him: "I will only bring 'variables' and make them more in line with the beauty in their hearts." ”

【…… But isn't this still the pursuit of 'perfection'? 】

"It couldn't have been more perfect. To be rooted in everything that already exists, to admit laughter, but also to acknowledge suffering, is 'more perfect' than yesterday's. This is the true meaning of innovation, which never denies mistakes, but admits them and corrects them. ”

[Then, as a strong one, if suffering occurs in front of your eyes, if you don't save it, what will you do? 】

"Help, then bless."

[Okay.] 】

Hearing such a decisive answer without hesitation, the light faded peacefully.

[Although it is far from being 'correct', it can detect 'mistakes'. 】

A distant voice came, and then faded away: [Su Day, the Covenant Maker of Chaos...... I look forward to that day. 】

And the distant light of Su Day's gazer, the soul space behind him returned to its original state, and the spirit of the Wisdom Tree and many evil spirits sprouted into the soul of the Spirit Grass swaying in the darkness.

And in front of him, there is a seemingly ordinary book left, open the page, the stars are shining, and there seems to be endless brilliance and power in it.

That's the gift of perfection.

“……”

Without much of the ability to understand the book, the young man closed the book in silence, and after the perfect distance, he closed his eyes and sensed the injury in his body.

Most of the Dao injuries caused by the Heavenly Star Convergence Dao Method have been healed, and most of them are the result of Su Tian's own recuperation, but a large part of them are also caused by the aftermath of the perfect dream that made him dream...... A serious injury that originally required several years of recuperation is now estimated to be completed in only ten days and half a month.

After all, the physique of people cannot be generalized, of course, Su Ri can beat the Heavenly Emperor into the black hole of the ruins in extreme anger, and then eat a hard shot to hurt himself without dying, but others may not even have a chance to heal themselves.

And at this moment, Yara's lazy voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the dull atmosphere in the soul space at this time.

"How is it, Su Day, can you understand how good you met me?"

The snake spirit's tone was obviously complacent, and there was an aura of 'thank me soon', which made Su Tian's expression change slightly, and he couldn't help but smile: "Then I really thank you - but Yara, I never said that meeting you was a bad thing, why did you put yourself in the bad column?" ”

This teased, and Yara obviously didn't care: "Don't care too much about perfection, this stupid bird is also a bad head, otherwise, he won't have anyone to help him when I change him - this kind of popularity can be imagined." ”

"Now, I'm going to start to wonder if any of your great beings have a better relationship...... Hmm, the Lord of Silence and the Divine Tree seem to count? ”

"They also have their own mortal enemies, let's not talk about this, compared to these, what are you going to do next, just recuperate?"

The snake spirit wagged his tail, and the young man pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Nope."

Su Sun replied, his eyes burning with ambition: "Though the picture that is perfect for me to see, it is true that it cannot lead me to His path...... But it further motivated me to become stronger. ”

"The meaning of being strong is not that you can decide other people's lives, but that you can decide your own future - so, taking this opportunity, I want to try some new forms, open up my own possibilities, and make myself stronger."

Saying this, the young man lowered his head and stared at his palms, he clenched his fists and chuckled: "So far, whether it is the cosmic battle form, the naval battle form, or the divine bird form, I am just imitating and improving...... But innovation should also create something completely new – taking all the nutrients and giving birth to something familiar but different. ”

"Then let's do it."

Yara laughed at this, and the snake hanging from the Tree of Wisdom encouraged without hesitation: "With your immortal strength, it is completely possible to open up a completely new path. ”

Su Yan did not reply.

His will returned to his body.

Then, something changed, and it happened.

Moon surface.

Around the huge coffin that suddenly stood up, the majestic aura swirled, like snow flying in the sky, creating falling particles of spiritual light.

The anomalous magnetic field, even around the far back of the moon, creates an arc of light visible to the naked eye, reacting with distant sunlight.

The immortal-level mutation caused all the earth powerhouses who were still on the moon to cautiously withdraw hundreds of kilometers, leaving only the temporarily reinforced radiation-resistant autonomous robot for remote broadcasting.

"What's going on?"

This is a question on everyone's mind, and this question has not been answered until now.

However, at this very moment.

They saw it.

In the distance, in the crater, the huge, sleeping coffin...... Now, in a flash of blazing light, it is undergoing a violent transformation!

Boom, boom!!

Accompanied by the sound of steel grinding, it sounded in the vast spiritual world, and the giant healing coffin, which was originally square, began to deconstruct itself and reorganize itself at this moment—countless totems and divine patterns were distorted in this drastic change, and then turned into a new appearance!

In the abruptly lit blue-purple firelight, the heavy silver-gray metal began to deform, elongate, and then metamorphose into a slender frame, and the divine patterns of the Nine Dragons and Five Phoenixes climbed up, and then ......

Condensed into one battleship.

Or rather, a sacred tree that looks like a battleship!

There, there is a sapling that looks like a space battleship, slowly sprouting!

The Nine Dragons become roots and take root in the earth on the far side of the Moon, absorbing the matter in the stars, while the Five Phoenix become branches and spread their wings in the canopy of the trees to absorb the energy of the universe.

The slender structure located in the middle is just like that, under the cultivation of roots and branches, it is transformed and corrected and improved by the naked eye!

Nine dragons pull the coffin, and the phoenix leads the way!

And now, the coffin has taken root and turned into a Shenmu battleship!

At this moment, all the major forces that were paying attention to Su Sun, the alien ambassadors, saw this scene in the crater, and then were shocked and speechless.

[What the hell is this, Candle Day, Candle Day?!] 】

At this moment, even the Yan Saint almost crashed on the spot, and his digitized body collapsed into a vague electronic cloud on the spot, and then slowly condensed back: [How can I bring back the myths and legends I made up before?!] 】

There was no one to answer his question.

Not even Su Yan himself.

In less than an hour, the news of Su Day's return spread throughout the earth world.

The whole network was shocked.
