Chapter 396

Luo Binhan's feet stepped firmly on the bottom of the water, as if they had taken root there.He began to wonder if this matter had anything to do with him: he and Jing Juan went to see the pelican, but the pirate leader was caught; The crippled Gray Wind—the Son of Death, or whatever—was also mysteriously gone now.Is this the normal way life works?Or is his bad luck contagious to any new acquaintances?

He opened his mouth underwater, and the river water poured into his mouth, blocked by the green mucous membrane attached near the mouth of his throat.Garfield's parasitism ensures that he will not suffocate, but it is still not easy to speak underwater.He had no choice but to ask Assabam with his thoughts: Go forward?What's ahead?If even the wind dies ahead, what good can they do going forward?

"Better do what she says," Garfield said. "We can't stay here forever...I'm not sure yet, but I have a feeling. It's like a place I've heard about, they call the Pollution Drive .”

Pollution treatment channel.To Luo Binhan, it sounded like a sewer.He couldn't help but wonder where this thing was going to lead?Sewage treatment plant?Is this the end of that wind of death?

The shadow inside him moved again, forcing him to move forward.Luo Binhan was really tired of this feeling of being directed by machines, and decided to follow the principle of getting along with alien creatures that he learned when raising huskies—whoever suffers, who changes.He wished in his heart that Assabam would one day be caught and waved by a White Tower Mage who loved close combat.Then he took a step and groped forward with the current.

There is almost no light at the bottom of the river, and there are no plants or animals that can be identified by the senses, only the rushing sound of the water flowing in his ears, which is monotonous and depressing.At first, Luo Binhan could touch some rock walls buried in the water and touch their smooth surfaces, but he seemed to be heading towards a wider river, and soon he lost even this entertainment.Garfield and Asabamu didn't speak, and Luo Binhan was not so willing to have a hard chat with these two friends.

The running water became his best companion, so that he would not feel that he, too, had melted into the darkness and turned into a shadow without body.He just walked silently, and suddenly thought of Bangbang and Upsilon.An unaccountable and intense sadness rose in his chest.He was emotional for these two old acquaintances who were not too close, but more laments were not aimed at any specific thing.Bonbon's adventure was over, his was not, and it was hard to say whose misfortune it was.How can there be so little joy and so much suffering in this world?Is it born to suffer from these?
He pondered this silently until Garfield said in his head, "That's better than nothing."

What?Robin Han asked.

"Misery." Garfield said calmly, "It's better than nothing. When you were born you had everything, and then gradually lost it. Even so, before you die, you always have more than you died."

Its words made Luo Binhan feel a little meaningful.That was not because of the topic itself, but because he found that it seemed to be very contradictory to Garfield's previous attitude.He points out that Garfield used to compare death to a good thing, "eternal and sweet sleep" and stuff like that, and now it's starting to argue that it's better to be alive.

"I've always been skeptical of both sides," Garfield explained. "You can't know which is right unless you experience it yourself. But I do often wonder—why are we so afraid of death? I've asked many Creatures have consulted their views, some are just instincts, and have never thought about it; some are concerned about the pain of the process, which makes them only want to seek a comfortable and painless death; some are afraid of the unknown result... They don't May sleep forever, or fear cannot sleep forever."

At this time, Luo Binhan felt a little gray in the corner of his left eye.He blinked and caught nothing.He took this as a hallucination after his eyeballs were subjected to water pressure for a long time, and continued to chat with Garfield.He asked what the so-called "can't sleep forever" meant.

This time Garfield answered very clearly: "Reincarnation."

Why are you afraid of this?Robin Han said.He doesn't mind reincarnation at all, whether it's real or not.But then again, he thinks the land that sleeps doesn't sound too bad.

Garfield thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously: "If you are satisfied with your own life form, or if you are very dissatisfied with other forms of life...you will not wish to become another existence with a different concept. You may wish to Become a protoss freed from matter, but not willing to become a volcano fly."

Robin Han thought about it.He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"I think," Garfield said, "it's probably a sign that you don't approve of yourself enough... If you genuinely believe that you're right, you don't want to be any other way—I mean, that kind of Involves essential, permanent loss and change."

Now Luo Binhan is not happy.He thought himself quite right, at least always right in matters concerning himself.But even so, given the chance to try to be something else—say, a pelican capable of picking up thorns—he wouldn't necessarily be able to resist the temptation to make a mistake.

"The pelican," Garfield stated dryly, "that's what you want. Not the protoss, the gods, the rational beings, but the pelican."

what?Robin Han said.He admits that the pelican's jaw is not very beautiful, but how many gods can firmly pinch Jing Juan's mouth away?He didn't even need to become a pelican, just imagining Jing Juan's expression at that time made him so happy that he almost forgot about Bangbang and Upsilon.

He got a little too smug that he jumped a few steps down the current.Because of this, Assabam's hair floated up like a layer of soft gauze.Although Luo Binhan couldn't see the environment clearly, he felt that the few strands of hair were blacker than the bottom of the water. He could easily identify them and couldn't help but brush them away from his eyes.

A pair of white eyes appeared behind the hair, staring straight at him.

Luo Binhan was taken aback.He leaned back without thinking, and slipped a few steps on his feet, almost pressing Assabam to the ground.When he stood firm and looked forward, there was still only darkness.

"What are you looking at?" Garfield asked.

Didn't you see it?Robin Han asked back.He knew that Garfield did not have eyes from his physical structure, but this cannibal completely occupied his head, and maybe he could use his eyes.Then it should be more consistent with what the two of them saw.He recalled in his mind the pair of eyes he saw just now—very hazy, without much human emotion, like two miniature full moons hanging in the air.They were so clear in the dark that he believed he could not be mistaken.

Garfield "sees" the picture in his head.But it also pointed out that the same signal did not come from Luo Binhan's optic nerve just now. Simply put, it did not "see" the pair of moon eyes.Either Robin Han had hysteria, or...something else.

Robin Han became nervous.He quickly drew his dagger, and at the same time he elbowed Assabam in the back.The light mummy's body was swayed left and right by him, almost floating in the light current.

"What are you doing?" Assabam said coldly.Her tone now sounds like Jing Juan.

Luo Binhan couldn't speak as freely as her.He turned his head and pointed to her eyes to show that he was facing some terrible vision.Assabam moved in the dark, moving his arms from his neck to his shoulders, as if to give him more room to move.

"This is connected to a dream." She said, "Go on."

Luo Binhan had nothing to do with the disabled slave owner, so he had to move on.He soon felt that the road under his feet was rising, as if he was walking on a certain slope.The water grew colder, but brighter and slower, until suddenly his head emerged from the break into a milky mist of balsamic perfume.His arm was hit by a glistening white thing, which made him tense again.But when he stared at it, he found that it was not an eye, but a snow-white water lily.It is only the size of a palm, but it is beautiful and exudes a soothing fragrance.

He raised his eyes and saw white water lilies growing on the surface of the vast river, swaying among the fragrance and white mist.Looking into the distance, Luo Binhan saw a huge curtain like a veil floating at the end of the mist.
