Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 148 Others’ Evaluations and the Forgotten

"Okay, it's safe! That Renhuaji has fallen into the trap, we are saved!"

After receiving the reminder that the contract was established, Old Mao, who had been tired for many days, finally regained his energy. He poked his head out of the hiding place and looked around for a few times, then retreated back and said to his companions:

"It looks like I can rest for three or four hours. How about it? Can you still hold on?"

"I don't have any problem! Although it smells a bit and tastes bad, those monks still have blood flowing in their bodies, not gasoline. I can always kill a few to restore their health! Is this Brother Shizi? Brother Kaizi? ? He is afraid that if he fights two more games, he really has to explain it here!"

The baron raised his head. The three of them had been in an infinite loop of fighting and escaping. He hadn't spent any time taking care of himself for a long time. The dried and black blood was smeared on most of his face. It looks more like a being that should appear in a horror story.

Just by looking at the stone armor in the Baron's mouth, one could conclude that it was "at the end of its life". The stone armor on his body had large cracks. As a last resort, he had to take out the precious ore that had been collected for a long time to absorb and repair it. It has been completely exhausted for a while.

When he heard that the conversation between the two people turned to him, he responded in a hoarse voice:

"No problem, me too, I can handle it!"

"How can you be sure that Renhuaji will sign that contract?"

asked the baron again.

Lao Mao, who was applying kerosene to the gun body, or should I say, the staff on his hand for maintenance, chuckled lightly and said:

"Having been dealing with Renhuaji for a while, what kind of person do you think he is?"

"Fake! Very fake!"

The Baron answered directly without even thinking:

"A guy who is a fake, pretentious guy. The words he says, the actions he takes, and even the way he makes others feel just by standing there, all have an indescribable weird feeling. Well, how should I put it? It's like he is Deliberately pretending to be a false appearance, but it just deceived myself. The next second, there might be a completely different illusion.

It was as if there were two souls in his body directing his actions. Sometimes the two-second gap between his actions was completely driven by two extremely contradictory thoughts. He was going to make a grand appearance to test Ashina, but he only had a taste of it. He was arrogant at first but respectful at the other. Just when he was about to scold him for being timid, he ended up threatening everyone and going crazy.

snort! To say that we just left friendship in this world before, does this mean we think we are so brainless that we gave such a response? "

"Like a gambler who is blinded by a loss, clinging to the only chips in his hand, trying to find a chance to make a comeback!" This was Shi Kai's evaluation.

"Obviously he is very strong, but he always feels like something is chasing him behind him! He wishes he could use every piece of dirt and blade of grass under his feet. The greed displayed in front of us, I think more It probably stems from a lack of sense of security! I just don’t know where this mentality comes from and what the reason is, otherwise we can really achieve cooperation in this world.

But we don’t know. We know the basics, and we can rest assured when we cooperate. If any one of us has a small idea, we have to consider the methods of others. But the Human Flower Festival is different. Accepting such a collaborator who we can’t control would be too much. It’s an adventure! "

"Indeed, his shadow soldiers are quite useful!"

Lao Mao lowered his head and chuckled, tapping his fingers back and forth on the staff, and fine-tuning a certain accessory from time to time:

"Actually, you should all be familiar with his appearance! Whatever it is..."

She stretched out her finger and pointed at the Baron:

"What you said is a way of deceiving and confusing people with false impressions."

She tapped the stone armor again and continued:

"And what you said, greed? Insecurity? No, this is just that you are subconsciously unwilling to remember and think about it. His appearance is just like the contract we signed at the beginning and became a contract. Is it exactly the same as before?!

Why tell those clumsy lies? Because I only have such a little information and intelligence advantage, even if I have to turn against the other party, I still have to take advantage of my only advantage?

Why does he act like he is controlled by two different and contradictory thoughts? Because he has not adapted to the survival rules of the reincarnation paradise. After all, he has just been selected from a stable and harmonious society with perfect order. He has to be thrown into one world after another to fight. After all, it is not suitable for him. Deep down in my heart, I don't want to accept the facts, and I try to retain the only thing left in that beautiful world - my conscience.

When handing out a knife, you can't make a move, when you deceive others, you give hints, when you snatch resources, you leave a little bit behind, and even keep a special look for those characters in the derivative world who know that they are false. The feelings of the little ones who have just entered the reincarnation paradise are all like this. You and I have all passed through this stage.

Why don’t you let go of every penny of profit? Why be greedy? Why do you value every chip in your hand so seriously? To be honest, if it weren’t for his insufficient savings space, I really doubt that the beasts he encountered on the road would be skinned and dismembered, and he would take them back and sell them some paradise coins!

You, you, and I, we are all familiar with what he looks like now, aren't we? That’s what it looks like, including us, who have just entered the reincarnation paradise and still don’t understand or accept the laws of survival here! "

"But this makes even more sense!" Baron retorted: "With that level of strength, no matter how little he has, he should have experienced four or five worlds! How can he still have the mentality of a newcomer?!"

"Having strong strength and having a strong mentality are never the same thing. They are not linked!"

The baron nodded as if he had some understanding, then his face showed pain again, and he grinned and said:

"In this case, do we really need to cede so many things to that guy? Especially that book, he probably doesn't even know what it can be used for!"

"No, let's not talk about the 'Hanged King's Rope'. If we want to achieve the desired effect, we must give out so many things. Money and silk can move people's hearts. If we want the human sacrifice, the greed rising in our hearts will overwhelm all possibilities. If any unfavorable thinking occurs, we must cede these things.

Okay, okay, think about it a little bit, have you forgotten how special this world is? The effect of 'The Hanged King's Rope' has been piled up by us to the point that as long as Renhuaji dies, should the things be ours or not? Maybe with luck, we can still get the equipment on him, and even if he doesn't die, we can get out of the current predicament. , we can still make a lot of money in this world! "

As Lao Mao said, he took out a military thorn with his backhand and nailed it into the heads of the centipedes who had climbed to the exit of the hiding place at some point.

"Okay, the estimated time is wrong, the rest and chat is over, and the fight has to start again! The rescue time given by the contract is limited, at least we have to hold on to this period of time! Don't die!"

She picked up her staff and walked out of the hiding place. The [Eye of Death] locked onto several monks of Xianfeng Temple in just an instant, injected mana, pulled the trigger, and shot several fireballs from the top of the staff, shooting her At the current level, every time he fires a weapon, it has an effect similar to that of a dragon's breath bomb. If he goes further, the staff in his hand will be upgraded from a shotgun to a rocket launcher.

Behind Lao Mao, Shi Kai and Baron rushed out and went straight towards the surrounding monks of Xianfeng Temple.

Who is he?

He has forgotten all about it, and only knows how to fight in this boundless sea of ​​fire, fighting constantly, fighting endlessly!

The objects he was fighting were human figures condensed from the sea of ​​fire. Some looked familiar to him, while others he didn't recognize at all.

Time is meaningless here, and so are the number of humanoids who died under his knife. He doesn't know why he is here, and he doesn't know why he wants to repeat such killings.

Sometimes he could hear the sound of bells and drums and the chanting of Buddhist scriptures by monks in the sea of ​​fire. It was very noisy. Sometimes he could only hear a burst of reed leaf flutes, and the sound of "beep——" was very clear and very pleasant to hear. Peace of mind.

Sometimes, he could hear the voices of some people talking in bits and pieces.

"It's been a long time! Son of Owl!" "You fought for me, how could I leave you alone! Wolf, live with my blood."

"I see. It seems that if I don't kill you, I won't be able to get Long Yin."

"Boy, why don't you understand the idea of ​​being a father? Have you forgotten the ninja's commandments?"

"No matter what I enshrine, I can only see that, a whole piece of fire that seems to burn Ashina out."

"Come on! Let me kill you before you become Shura!"

"I have seen Shura before! There is the same thing in your body. It must be killed!"

"In the end, I still can't do anything, but I can definitely let Ashina and Longyin make this country survive again. In this way, Ashina's long night is about to dawn!"

"This is my poor grandson's last wish! I must bring Ashina back from the underworld, so Sekiro. I'm going to kill you!"

who is he? Who are they? Are they talking to themselves? Or are they talking to that "wolf"?

he does not know!

He forgot!

He forgot something very important, and it was because he finally noticed this forgetfulness that he began to feel the pain.

Maybe it was just a second that passed by in the blink of an eye, maybe an hour passed by slowly, maybe it was a day, a month, a year, a lifetime. In short, at a certain moment, he realized what he was doing.

He is constantly entering reincarnation, constantly experiencing things that have not been recorded in his soul but have been repeated many times.

Among them, the thing he did the most was kill.

After completing the mission entrusted by the Son of God, he returned to Ashina and met his adoptive father who had "resurrected from the dead" on the castle tower. Following the latter's order, he handed over the leash around his neck to him. On hand.

Under the orders of his adoptive father, he betrayed the god son Kuro. He killed Yongzhen, a doctor who had been very helpful to him, and Isshin, the old sword master Ashina. Then in the burning castle tower, Zai Xiao opened his arms to declare himself to the world. When the real name came, he stabbed the other person in the back, just like the other person did to him in the hidden Buddhist hall three years ago.

He became Shura and the "ghost" wandering around Ashina!

"No! You are not, you are not Shura."

He once thought carefully about the meaning of life and death, violated the commandments, and continued to be loyal to the god son Kurang. He chose to walk on this path. He also killed many people, and his adopted father was one of them.

He wielded the sword named "Kedgemaru" and brought the killing to Sengo Genno Palace. There, he paid homage to Sakuraryu, the source of the immortal power. After stabbing him with the Immortal Slash, he obtained the Dragon Tears, and then Returning to Ashina again, he successively killed Ashina Genichiro, who protested against Ashina's fate, and Ashina Isshin, who had come back from the dead.

The last person he killed was the master he was loyal to. After taking the Dragon Tears, Godson Kuro faced the Immortal Slash blade with relief.

"My ninja in this life, can I ask you to end immortality?"

At the end of the story, he became another Buddhist sculptor. In that abandoned temple, he carved one after another wrathful Buddha statues with one arm. His prosthetic hand was removed and placed in the place of worship.

"Please keep this! There will be new ninjas coming when they are looking for strength!"

He had carefully noticed the hidden thoughts of his master. With the help of the doctor Yongzhen, after learning about the path chosen by Shenzi Kurang, he followed the precepts and decided to protect Shenzi Kurang at the cost of his life.

He got the guardian bell of his adoptive father from Yongzhen. After paying homage to the Buddha statue, he once again entered the memory of three years ago, defeated his ambitious adoptive father, and obtained the Everlasting Cherry Blossom.

Another round of killing!

When he knelt on the field of reeds and committed suicide, he left his last blessing.

"It's up to me. The last immortal! Please live as a human being!"

After returning to normal life, Jiulang and Yongzhen built a simple resting place for him. He was ready to travel far and leave this land.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes! I also want to live hard as a human being and then die! Just like my ninja did for me, I am also grateful to Miss Yongzhen for taking care of me!"

He had listened to the advice of Qingzi Bianruo and decided to completely keep this land away from the power of immortality. After killing the Lord White Snake, the land god, he returned to Xianfeng Temple with a dried and a fresh snake persimmon. Okunoin.

The outcome this time is that Ruo Qingzi has become the cradle of the immortal dragon Yin and the divine son Jiuro. They want to take Sakura Dragon back to his hometown.

"Master Kuro, please stay in my heart peacefully now!"

"Goodbye, everyone! I have to go! In order to cut off our cause and effect, it will definitely be a very long journey. Even so, are you still willing to come with us?"

The wolf lowered his head respectfully: "Yes!"

"Thank you, Dragon Ninja, Lord Kuro is also very happy!"

"Let's set off! Head west to the sacred dragon's homeland!"

He remembered, he was a wolf! Kamiko Kuro's guardian ninja! Long Yin’s contractor! The returner of immortal power!

He carried out countless killings in nine reincarnations. Each reincarnation was roughly the same, with some subtle differences. In one reincarnation, the Ashina Isshin he saw was the same as the sword master. The prefix "Shadow" is added to his name, and he is as powerful as a ghost or a god!

In one reincarnation, the alternation of offense and defense in battle requires more emphasis, and he also needs to hone his skills more.

In one reincarnation, he made friends with some different people in the Land of Ashina, including guys who called themselves "hunters", kendo masters from foreign countries, and armored warriors who wielded big swords and wore red hooded cloaks.

This is the tenth reincarnation, and it is also the most different from the previous nine reincarnations. The Human Flower Festival, the crazy fire-bathing monks, and the hundreds of ghosts lurking in various places in Ashina. This is another journey that is both familiar and unfamiliar. , in this life, the decision he made was an unimagined disagreement, and it will be a best ending that he can do his best.

However, before that, I need to be awakened! Need others to wake up from the outside world!

Now, keep fighting!

In the sea of ​​fire, the enemy appears again!

Come on! A wolf!
