After that call, the person in the coffin did not make any more sounds. About ten days had passed. Why was it about ten days? It was because the coffin no longer released a wisp of corpse energy for Su Bai to absorb like it had in the past half a month. It was probably because Su Bai had taken the initiative to walk into the river that the person was too lazy to continue to pay attention to Su Bai.
Fortunately, although he did not eat or drink, relying on his zombie physique, Su Bai was not worried that he would really die in this place. After all, this place was different from the absolute vacuum created by the broadcast in the story world. At least there was still plenty of corpse energy.
Sitting by the river, the black cat stood on the altar and looked at Su Bai quietly.
Although this black cat's personality was very different from Lucky's, both cats had an extremely high and cold style. That was right. In terms of life level, they were comparable to high-level listeners. They indeed had this kind of style.
In the river, there was still a constant call, calling for Su Bai to come over, to be happy together, to be happy together, to be happy together, and to sink together.
However, after all, he had courted death once. It was like having an addiction, but it had not come back for the time being. Su Bai did not simply walk into the river after being locked up for half a month like last time, abandoning himself to despair.
Counting the days, it had been more than a month since the last time he entered the story world. It was almost two months. This meant that it would not be long before he entered the next story world.
His phone had long run out of battery, but Su Bai felt that the broadcast notice could still be sent through his phone. Or, a more beautiful way would be for a mummy to suddenly walk out of the river.
He opened his mouth:
"Dear listeners, welcome to the horror radio program. I am the host of the program. I have no name because a name has no meaning here..."
Hehe.
It was just like how the radio played with the listeners as their own playthings. However, while the listeners were being played to death, they also figured out the rules they knew.
He stretched and touched his face. The stubble had long grown. In this place, besides the resident in the coffin and the black cat, there was no need to see anyone else. Su Bai could not be bothered to take care of himself. After all, he was not a sissy like Gongzi Hai.
"F * ck, do I really have to stay here forever?"
Su Bai took a deep breath. It had been a month, and the little guy should have returned to Shanghai by now. Unfortunately, this was the first time he had taken him out on a serious trip, but it had ended up like this.
It should be almost time for the monk to enter the next story world.
Getting up, Su Bai picked up a stone beside him and floated towards the river.
"Pa... Pa... Pa!"
The stone bounced three times on the water and finally hit a skeleton.
Su Bai jumped onto the altar and walked down. The black cat followed behind Su Bai silently. Compared to Lucky, it indeed lacked too much spiritual energy. Perhaps, Lucky should have been like this. As the guardian of this place, it would guard this place and punish those who did not have the qualifications to enter this place.
Su Bai really admired his cheap father. How had he fooled Ji Xiang into leaving in the first place?
Returning to the coffin, Su Bai leaned against it. Every day, around this time, Su Bai would return here to sleep. Before sleeping, he would talk to the person in the coffin.
After all, that person had saved him once. Although the reason why he was detained here and unable to leave the story world was also because of that person, to be honest, Su Bai did not really hate him. Perhaps, he was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
Ever since he was young, there hadn't been many people who had treated him well. Of course, now that he thought about it, the nanny and housekeeper from when he was young were all fake memories. At the very least, he probably hadn't experienced them. The only person he couldn't see through was Ninth Brother. What was the reason why he hadn't opened the bronze chest in front of him as promised?
It was possible that the truth would never be known after Jiu Ge and his cousin's deaths.
However, Su Bai still tried his best to think on the bright side. If people wanted to live less tiring, sometimes they had to learn to be more happy.
The person in the coffin had saved him. He was not the broadcaster, nor was he the monk. Fatso and the others had a mutually beneficial relationship with him. Perhaps it was because of this that Su Bai could not hate him.
"Tell me, do I really have to stay here and mingle around with you? Do I have to keep going in and out of the story world until I reach the level of a Big Boss Listener? "
This was Su Bai's daily soliloquy before he slept. He did not expect a response from the person in the coffin. In fact, that person did not seem to like responses. Su Bai could feel that this black cat was a little lonely, but the person in the coffin might really be wondering why this idiot was talking so much tonight.
"Clang …"
However, what Su Bai did not expect was for the coffin to actually start shaking.
Did this fellow want to chat tonight?
"Actually … cultivating here … will be faster …"
"I know, I can be more focused, but without cigarettes, alcohol, and scenery to enjoy, these days are really boring," Su Bai said bluntly.
"You are … using the attitude … of experiencing life … to be … a listener …"
"The life of an ordinary person is one kind of life, and the life of a listener is also another kind of life."
"Actually … there is another possibility … of leaving early …"
"What is it?" asked Su Bai.
"That is … if someone … comes … to prove their Dao … in the near future …"
"Heh." Su Bai chuckled dryly. "Big listeners aren't tools and parts on the assembly line. How can there be so many of them? I know some senior listeners who are scared half to death by continuing to take a step forward. Let alone coming to prove their path, they really want to dig a hole and get in directly, for fear that the broadcast will look at them more than once."
"Perhaps …"
The lid of the coffin slowly floated up, and the slightly bloated figure also appeared and disappeared.
"Are you planning to come out for a walk?" asked Su Bai.
"Do you know … why … a while ago … you were able to enter here …"
Su Bai's eyes immediately narrowed, and he immediately said, "F * ck, it can't be because someone is coming here to prove their Dao, right?"
"Heh heh … that's not the reason … How could you … enter here …"
"But I'm very curious, what the hell is that thing that will go to the surrounding villages to suck people's essence?" asked Su Bai.
"They don't care … but you're the one who cares about this problem … Interesting …"
"I just feel that when I entered the village and saw the rows of new tombstones, I felt a little sorry, especially when I saw the tombstones of those children. Perhaps it's because I became a father in the past two years, I don't seem to be as cruel as before, and I've become more sentimental than before."
"That's … the spirit of the formation …" The voice in the coffin lid became more coherent than before. Obviously, he was taking the initiative to wake up from a state of deep sleep, and seemed to be planning to welcome someone.
Perhaps, in the more than 20 years of deep sleep here, every time a Peak Advanced Listener came here to prove their Dao, he would get up to welcome them. Su Bai did not know why he was trapped here by Su Yuhang, but now it seemed that he had become the guardian of this place, just like the black cat.
Coupled with the tombstones at the bottom of the river, he was really no different from a guardian.
"When the formation cleans itself, it will remove the impurities. The impurities will develop an instinctive intelligence and begin to suck people's essence to strengthen themselves. After you go out, you can find a demonic beast nearby to capture it. You can also feel the level of this formation. Even I have to be suppressed by it, so even the impurities of this formation cannot be underestimated, and can even be said to be very precious. It's very good to use it as a spirit."
"Don't, I'm afraid that using this thing as a spirit will shorten my lifespan. How about this, after I go out, I'll catch it and kill it."
"Haha, you're really a little sentimental."
The figure in the coffin lid stood up. Although his face could not be seen clearly, he could see that he looked like an extremely stout middle-aged man. In addition, Su Bai had seen a photo of him and Su Yuhang, so he could roughly imagine his image in his mind.
"It's coming. Actually, I look forward to it every time. This is probably what it means to be a coward. I'm always full of curiosity towards those who are brave. I'm that coward."
"People who can admit that they're cowardly are often very brave," Su Bai said.
"I've left you for a month. It's about time. The exit of the formation will open again soon, so you have enough time to leave. Your next story world should be coming soon."
"I don't understand. Since you're willing to let me go now, why did you force me to stay a month ago?" Su Bai was very curious about this.
"Because … I didn't know … you were so annoying …"
"Actually, I'm a rather cold and aloof person, really." Su Bai touched his chin awkwardly. "Perhaps it's because you're from the same generation as Su Yuhang, and you can kill me with a pinch. That's why I act differently in front of you."
"If I remember correctly, your name is Su Bai, right?"
Su Bai nodded.
"Very well, Su Bai, I'll wait to see … the day you twist Su Yuhang's head off."
"Boom!"
A loud sound came from the entrance. The formation at the entrance was activated again, and a dazzling light bloomed. A figure slowly walked out of the white light.
Su Bai knew.
This was the audience that was about to arrive to prove their Dao.
