Xiang Ya and Zhang Fanyu frowned and stared at the note, and asked in unison, "Who gave you this note?"

Old Man Zhou sat down, looked at the tea set on the table, and said, "A man named Li Chendong found me and asked me to transfer the note to the two of you."

Li Chendong...

Xiang Ya remembered that he was the shareholder who was in charge of Security Service in the first place, and he reappeared in front of everyone a while ago.

Now Yan Li, Shi Lai, and Lu Hua, who had issued information about the copy in the past, were all gone, and there was only one person who was said to be Lu Hua's friend. Xiang Ya and Zhang Fanyu felt uneasy at the same time.

Xiang Ya, in particular, felt that all the unease on the way here seemed to be fulfilled.

Xiang Ya asked, "Grandpa Zhou, did that person say anything when he left the note?"

I saw the old man Zhou shaking his head, "Originally I asked him to stay for a cup of tea, but he came and went in a hurry, only said his name and admitted that he was your contact person, and also said to show you the note. , you will understand."

"Before leaving, he said that he would come back to you in person after the turmoil in An Cheng."

Xiang Ya was silent when she heard the words. The turmoil meant something bad happened to An Cheng, but during her comatose period, she had been to An Cheng's interior. At that time, Duan Yuan and Zhou Tong didn't seem flustered.

At that time, nothing should happen to An Cheng, and the turmoil happened after she left.

Xiang Ya was worried whether the unrest had something to do with her going to An Cheng.

She pressed the question to the bottom of her heart, and originally planned to discuss it later when she and Zhang Fanyu were alone, but she thought that she couldn't talk a lot about this kind of thing in front of the elderly, for fear that the other party would be worried.

But old man Zhou obviously didn't want to be prevaricated by the two young people like before. He looked at Zhang Fanyu who was sitting down with a serious expression, and asked, "A Yu, Grandpa is old but not stupid."

"I can't watch you two just let your body go, even if I don't agree, know what you're hurting for."

Zhang Fanyu and Xiang Ya looked at each other, Xiang Ya thought about it, changed his mind, and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Fanyu nodded, organized the language, tried to briefly summarize what happened to the two of them these days, and added their latest guesses about the secret from time to time to Xiang Ya.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, and the more old Zhou listened, the more spirited he became. After listening and listening, he realized that these two young people had experienced so many thrilling things.

Several times he was so frightened that he covered his chest and said Amitabha.

The tea on the table was already cold, but no one had time to touch them.

Two are presenting intently, one is listening intently.

After Zhang Fanyu finished speaking about the copy of "Ghost Qingniang", old man Zhou dared to let out a long breath.

He murmured: "No wonder... Hearing this, I agree with the demon fox's statement that this world is indeed made up of countless causal threads, and a single trigger can affect the whole body."

"That's why people say more good things and do more good deeds, because this is a good line of causality, and they can lead those who do good to go to a better line of causation. This life may not be rewarded, but it can also accumulate in the next life."

Zhou Laotou believed in gods and Buddhas, and naturally believed in the saying that karma is retribution and that everything has reincarnation.

Coupled with the real existence of the ghosts, and the later copy of the dream that is more and more closely related to cause and effect, these two things made him a little deeper in awe of the gods and Buddhas.

Just by looking at his palms and touching his bones, he could see that Xiang Yatian's fate was very vicious, and people related to her would even be implicated because of her fate.

But now the original destiny is obviously the opposite of reality.

That's what he said before - the road to killing the gods had no chance of success at first, but now there is a possibility of that life among the nine deaths.

After listening to the adventures of the two, Old Man Zhou finally understood why Xiang Ya's destiny was changed by so many creatures.

It was because she rescued these ghosts in another world.

Let the painful soul no longer fall into Shura hell.

And the power of resentment behind these ghosts, if he guessed correctly, might be another causal line.

He told Xiang Ya and his conjecture, and Xiang Ya was silent for a moment after hearing this.

"Why do you think so, Grandpa Zhou?"

The old man Zhou looked at Zhang Fanyu and said: "You know that A Yu is a born shaman, and a born shaman is a special human being whose soul can directly connect with the gods. To a certain extent, this kind of person represents the cause and effect of heaven and earth. , to have direct contact with God.”

"Therefore, they are also called causators."

"You said that the world was opened once, and the first time was when a white tower exploded and the world opened again."

"A Yu, you came back last week. Didn't you ask me to help you investigate the origin of the White Pagoda? I asked an old friend and checked some ancient books, and I was sure that the White Pagoda was once a building dedicated to gods and Buddhas."

"So what you want to say, my lord, is that the gods behind the white tower don't allow me to condition my soul to dissipate. They would rather restart the timeline than prevent the curse I set."

Zhang Fanyu frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's very rare to be born a shaman. Not everyone can bear the pressure of karma in everything. You are a karma that rarely grows up safely. The gods can't watch you sacrifice."

Having said that, old man Zhou looked at Xiang Ya, and said, "Besides the close relationship between the cause and effect and the world, there is another kind..."

"The soul after death?" Xiang Ya replied.

"Well, in fact, the moment after a person dies, the causal line will fall off for a period of time, and then re-intertwine to prepare for the next life. This is the middle process of the karma cycle."

"At that time, the causal line of the ghosts can wantonly touch the causal line of all things."

"But the soul is unwilling to enter reincarnation and stays in the world. The longer it is in contact with the causal line, the more power it absorbs. I think the power of resentment you mentioned comes from this."

"The power of resentment possessed by ghosts is actually a causal line that has been absorbed and changed by them."

Old man Zhou's words opened up a new way of thinking for everyone. Xiang Ya was immersed in thinking, and the complicated thread in his heart finally showed signs of unraveling at this moment.

Not long after, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she sincerely thanked old man Zhou for his answer to her question.

"Grandpa Zhou, thank you."

Old man Zhou waved his hand, he picked up the herbal tea and took a sip.

After drinking, he said: "I can't talk about cause and effect. I have dedicated my life to the gods, so I can talk about it in front of you without being affected, and I can't say anything else."

"Originally, you are a godslayer, and the identities of me and A Yu are opposite, so I can't help you."

"But the change in your fate comes from your kindness over the years, and you are the person A Yu desperately protects, so how can I not help?"

Old man Zhou sighed, "Anyway, I think your contacts have been talking to you for a few days before coming to you. Why don't you both recuperate with me, and I'll try to find a way to heal your injuries."

Zhang Fanyu couldn't help saying: "Grandfather..."

Old man Zhou flipped him a Byakugan, and his voice rarely regained some anger, "Don't call me grandpa, I'm not your real grandfather, you can't be my grandson...huh!"

"Then you help me again?" The coldness on Zhang Fanyu's face melted, and his voice was smiling.

"I think Ya Ya is well-behaved, so I am willing to help. You are just passing by."

"Anyway, if you take risks in such a ferocious way in the future, don't even think about entering the door of my little temple."

"You can't bear it."

"Stinky boy, see I won't let Ya Ya play with you, can you still speak so calmly?"

Xiang Ya watched the two of them "quarreling" quietly, and the exhaustion and pain in her body seemed to have eased a lot.

...

Three days later, Li Chendong still didn't show up. Zhang Fanyu had only healed half of his injuries, so he simply asked for a few more days of leave and waited for Li Chendong to arrive while recovering from his injuries.

During the waiting period, Xiang Ya couldn't get in touch with Yan Li, and even Qin Sanqi. Friends who had worked with Shen Zhiliu, Mo Xinxin, and Luo Yanping all said they lost contact with their managers.

It was as if An Cheng had suddenly disappeared from the world. Except for the sleeper who had a copy of the memory, all traces of his existence had been erased.

This situation is a bit like a long time ago when Shree said that An Cheng gave up on the decision to be a human manager in favor of ghosts and post-mortem sleepers as managers.

I just don't know if An Cheng will appear in front of people again this time, and what kind of changes will it bring when he appears again...

Moreover, Xiang Ya also learned that other people have not received the new copy notification at all, that is to say, the copy of "Bionic World", which will be opened on another day, is currently set for Zhang Fanyu and Xiang Ya.

To shoot them more and more worried.

Until one day three months later, Xiang Ya was sweeping the floor in front of the temple with a broom, Zhang Fanyu went back to work, and Old Man Zhou went out to buy vegetables, and she was the only one left in the temple.

A strange man in a black suit suddenly came to Xiang Ya, his face was cold and mature, and he stared at Xiang Ya silently.

Xiang Ya stopped cleaning and looked at him, "Li Chendong?"

"Yeah." The man replied.

Xiang Ya let go of the heart that had been hanging over the past few days.

For the past six months, she had been running all the way, and suddenly stopped, which was very uncomfortable. She was really worried that An Cheng would leave such a note and not follow up.

Luckily, the guy who came in came.

"Where's Yanli? Is she okay?" Xiang Ya first wanted to know if Yan Li was safe.

Li Chendong shook his head and said, "It's not very good, she, Shi Lai and Tang Zhong met Gui Chi, and her body was seriously injured. I don't know why, her strength was almost exhausted, I'm afraid it was support. Not for a while..."

Xiang Ya was stunned, and the hand holding the broom was shaking.

"How could this be?" She said quickly in disbelief. "The power of resentment! We can use it! Resentment can help maintain the state of the manager!"

Li Chendong stared at this thin girl who created miracles time and time again, carrying everyone's hopes.

After a long while, he said: "The power of resentment is too domineering. Yan Li, who was once exiled, can no longer support the second transformation of the power of resentment."

Xiang Ya lost her voice, her brain was dizzy, Yan Li was both a teacher and a friend to her, a shadow standing behind her to support her...

She couldn't accept it at all.

She kept whispering: "No, there must be a way, I still have a lot of points that I haven't used, yes, I will exchange conditions with An Cheng for her health!"

Li Chendong continued to shake his head, "An Cheng has an accident, the point exchange system has stopped working, and all the testers cannot exchange points."

Xiang Ya stared at him, "No, something happened to An Cheng, you won't come to the door with a new copy, Li Gui's commission has not stopped, you all need me to participate in the SSS copy, why exactly? Did I participate? Will Yan Li survive?"

"Well, you guessed it right, this dungeon contains some of Gui Chi's protected soul fragments. Both he and Yan Li have been exiled, and the repulsion between souls is very low. We plan to let you find them. Put this fragment into Yanli's body."

"But this copy has survived for some years, and even the Security Service staff can't get close to confirming how many sub-worlds have been born. The degree of danger is completely different from what you have experienced before."

"You and Zhang Fanyu have to be mentally prepared." Li Chendong confessed.

"An Cheng has not participated in the SSS book for a long time. We decided to let Fang Yi, Shen Zhiliu, Mo Xinxin and sister and brother accompany you, and one other person..."

"Another sleeper who once belonged to Gui Chi, Guan Yan."

Xiangya frowned and asked, "What about Brother Qin?"

"Qin Sanqi is recovering from her injury, and I will see you again later."

"Ancheng's shareholders are not highly affected by the second infestation of resentment forces. In order to protect everyone as much as possible, this time An Cheng will send an additional helper."

"Zhou Tong."

"What broken props do you have in your hands, you can also prepare them for her to help repair them when the time comes."
