Gu Xizhou was extremely tense. When he couldn't open the door, he knew that Si Yu was hiding something from him. The scariest thing was that Fu Yiran's question immediately surfaced in his mind.
Gu Xizhou's eyes darkened as he took two steps forward. He had a bad feeling about this.
Fu Yiran was asking him … He had to choose between himself and Si Yu. The door couldn't be opened because of the die. If he went out, Si Yu would die.
Before he came in, he shook the die. He wanted nothing to happen to Si Yu. When Si Yu asked him why he shook the die, he told Si Yu that he wanted to bring good luck.
When this thought arose, Gu Xizhou had great doubts about Si Yu's existence. He remembered Fang Zhi's words — Si Yu looked very similar to him. What was the relationship between him and Si Yu? Or was Si Yu himself and he Si Yu?
Just as Gu Xizhou was thinking, Si Yu looked down and said, "What did Fu Yiran say to you when he saw you?"
Gu Xizhou looked up at Si Yu and said, "He asked me who I would choose if only one of us could live."
Si Yu heard Gu Xizhou's words and gulped. He already knew why Gu Xizhou couldn't open the door. He took two steps forward and hugged Gu Xizhou tightly.
"You chose me. Does that mean that I'm more important than your life?" The man in his ear said in a low, husky, and magnetic voice.
Gu Xizhou replied, "Yes, I chose you." I used the die. I wanted you to live, not me.
Gu Xizhou continued, "Will you die if the real me comes back to life?"
Si Yu was about to speak when Gu Xizhou added, "Don't lie to me."
Si Yu was silent for a long time before answering Gu Xizhou's question. "Xizhou, you're thinking too much. Let's go out first. I'll open the door."
Si Yu took two steps forward and opened the door in Gu Xizhou's face. "Let's go. I'll talk to you after we get out."
Gu Xizhou shook his head. He had already guessed why he couldn't open the door. When he saw Si Yu open the door, he took two steps back. He picked up the die on the ground and shook it.
If Si Yu would die if he walked out of this door, then so be it.
As Gu Xizhou shook the die, it shook violently. Si Yu glanced at Gu Xizhou but didn't stop Gu Xizhou. If he didn't want to, Gu Xizhou wouldn't have rolled a six.
"Didn't you say you didn't want it? Be careful. If you roll a one, it'll — "Si Yu's thin lips parted slightly. Suddenly, he froze. Gu Xizhou had rolled a six.
Si Yu's face suddenly turned pale. He seemed to have understood something. An inexplicable panic rose from the depths of his heart. He hurriedly ran towards Gu Xizhou. The stone pillar that had been destroyed by Tu Yao just now slid down along with the steel bars.
Gu Xizhou covered his mouth with his hand. Blood flowed out continuously from his mouth. His body was penetrated by the steel bars. He touched the blood on his waist and looked at Si Yu. He knew this guy was lying to him again. Before he closed his eyes, he saw Si Yu desperately running towards him.
Everything froze at this moment.
Gu Xizhou opened his eyes and looked down at himself. Yes, he couldn't see anything. Only his consciousness was still there.
He was dead. So was he a ghost now?
There were only a few weeds and a piece of wasteland. Other than that, there was nothing else. This should be the place where he was buried alive.
He … Why was he here?
As Gu Xizhou pondered, he saw a man passing by. The man walked slowly towards him and squatted down to pick up something from the pile of grass. He played with it in his hands.
Gu Xizhou wanted to leave with the man to take a look. After all, this was the first person he had seen. As he thought about it, he realized that he could actually follow the man.
After following the man into his house, Gu Xizhou saw that the man had picked up a bone. Then, the scene changed. The bone turned into a six-sided die.
A die.
It was the one that Si Yu had given him.
Gu Xizhou was certain in his heart.
This die was very strange. The number it rolled was either 6 or 1. As he came into contact with more and more gamblers, the die seemed to have changed. Gu Xizhou couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt that it was different.
As Gu Xizhou pondered, time seemed to fast-forward. There were many strange things on the die. Gu Xizhou could see with his naked eye … chains. Many chains.
Countless chains extended out from the die's body. These chains were connected to everyone who came into contact with it, but no one was aware of this.
Then, Gu Xizhou's vision turned black. He didn't know what happened in the middle. More and more chains appeared on the die. It was as if the fate of everyone in the world was connected to it. At this moment, Gu Xizhou saw the die in the hands of a ten-year-old boy.
The boy threw the die again and again out of boredom. The number was always fixed at 6.
This was … Si Yu.
Gu Xizhou thought about the information that Ma Yu had helped him investigate. Time was fast-forwarded again. Gu Xizhou confirmed that the boy was Si Yu.
His mind was in a daze. Suddenly, it was 2021.
Ghosts. At this moment, every corner of the world was filled with ghosts. Ghosts were no longer a legend. They were real. Everyone could see them.
Gu Xizhou couldn't understand why this was happening. However, he finally understood the meaning of the words that the female ghost in the snowman world had said to him. "Now, death is not the end, so there is no need to fear death."
2021. No one knew what had happened in the world. Ghosts and humans coexisted. After humans died, they wouldn't enter the cycle of reincarnation. Instead, they would become ghosts. After ghosts died, they would die forever.
At this moment, the world was divided into different areas by ghosts with 'doors'. Different areas had different rules. You would be killed in your sleep. Three people had to sleep in a room. Dogs barked. White lines of death. Don't walk around casually. Killing toys in the amusement park …
Ordinary ghosts had chains on their bodies. However, they were still stronger than humans. Humans became the weakest species.
At this time, there were three types of creatures in the world: ghosts with doors, ghosts, and humans. Ghosts with doors had their own rules of death. These ghosts were naturally stronger than ordinary ghosts. Some of them called themselves' kings' because of their strength.
The world changed.
Time jumped. Gu Xizhou didn't know when, but he realized that the die had a new owner. This new owner was Fu Yiran.
Gu Xizhou frowned. He thought to himself, "If I didn't appear, Si Yu might have fallen in love with someone else and given the die to someone else …"
However, what Gu Xizhou was really curious about was, "Why did it have to be Fu Yiran?"
Gu Xizhou complained in his heart. His consciousness was still following the die. Although he was puzzled, Gu Xizhou quickly understood. This was because Fu Yiran, that unlucky guy, always rolled a 1 every time. The strange thing was that Fu Yiran seemed to have the ability to foresee the future. He was always able to avoid unexpected accidents.
"King, after you took this die, you haven't had any good luck … If it wasn't for your special ability, you would have already …" An ordinary-looking woman walked into the room and said to Fu Yiran.
Hearing how the woman addressed Fu Yiran, Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Yiran carefully.
So he was a ghost. The kind with doors.
Fu Yiran's mouth twitched. He seemed to have a headache. Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "Even if I had a few lives, it wouldn't be enough to play with this die of fate. I can see the past and the future. If it was anyone else, they would have died long ago.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have stolen that guy's die of fate," Fu Yiran said regretfully as he licked his chapped lips.
When Gu Xizhou heard Fu Yiran's words, he understood what Fu Yiran meant. He was the one who stole the die, not Si Yu.
Then, Fu Yiran threw the die out of the window. Gu Xizhou's consciousness followed the trajectory of the die as it fell to the ground. However, the die seemed to be stuck to Fu Yiran. There would always be various coincidences that would cause the die to appear in Fu Yiran's hands.
After throwing the die away countless times, Fu Yiran, who was almost killed by the die again, had a bitter expression on his face. He cursed under his breath, "F * ck."
"King, I'm afraid that we have to return this die to that person …"
Fu Yiran's face darkened. He scolded, "Return it to him? Do you think that he will let me go if I go over? That's' Tian '. "
Tian?
Gu Xizhou's entire body tensed up. Tian … Fu Yiran was talking about Si Yu?
"But what should we do? That person probably doesn't want you to die. Otherwise, even if you can see the future, that person can make all the futures die. Since that person didn't do that, there should still be room for negotiation …" the woman asked softly.
Fu Yiran was silent for a while. He used his index and ring fingers to hold the die. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have an idea.
Gu Xizhou waited in boredom for two days. Fu Yiran and the woman brought a young man to the villa. Gu Xizhou was stunned. The moment he saw the young man, he knew that it was him. It was his reincarnation.
According to the previous order, humans were reincarnated. After his reincarnation, he should be this young man called Gu Rong.
"King, I've brought him."
"Mm." Fu Yiran glanced at Gu Rong. He placed the box containing the die in Gu Rong's hand. "Return this to them and I'll help you deal with those murderous ghosts in your neighborhood."
Gu Rong pursed his lips. "How can you be so sure that they will accept this if I take it? You can't even do it. Furthermore, I'm not dead yet. I'm human and very weak."
Although Gu Rong said that, he didn't hesitate to take the black box from Fu Yiran.
Fu Yiran smirked and said, "Then let me tell you a story. Twenty years ago, there was an upright police officer. After he died, his thigh bone was ground into a die.
"That die was originally a very ordinary die. Later on, it received the luck of a gambler and became fate. It named itself 'Si Yu', which means' control fate '. In the end, it really did it. It even replaced Tian."
Si Yu … control fate.
Gu Xizhou's heart sank. He didn't dare to miss a single word from Fu Yiran. Fu Yiran could see the future and the past. During this period of time, Gu Xizhou had already confirmed the power of Fu Yiran's' ghost '. What Fu Yiran was saying was exactly what he saw when he followed the die.
Gu Rong looked at Fu Yiran in confusion. Fu Yiran continued, "After it became 'the new Tian', it set new rules.
"When people die, they become ghosts. It avenges grievances and grudges. It thought that human society would become a beautiful world just like what the police officer had imagined. However, in reality, more and more people died. The weak who died became ghosts that killed people. Then the world started to descend into chaos. "
When Gu Rong heard Fu Yiran's words, he shrugged. "What does this have to do with sending the die?"
Fu Yiran said, "You are the dead police officer. I believe that if you send the die back, it will accept it."
When he heard Fu Yiran's words, everything suddenly stopped. Time froze. Gu Xizhou smiled bitterly. 'What is Tian trying to do? Help him figure out the ins and outs of the situation after his death? Let me be a ghost? '
If he was resurrected, the Human Bone Die would not exist. Without the die, Si Yu would not have been born. Tian would not have been replaced. No wonder Tian wanted to use him to kill Si Yu. However, since Si Yu could control people's fates, it could also control him …
Why didn't Tian just change history and resurrect him? Why did it have to go through so much trouble?
As Gu Xizhou thought about it, he heard the familiar sound of chains. The chains that connected him to Tian broke with a crisp crack.
At that moment, he finally understood that the life of a Fiendish Cultivator was just a memory added to him by Tian. Those memories were pieced together by the future world. The mountains of corpses and seas of fire were just people who died in a battle between 'kings'.
Si Yu had established the new rules because of his belief in Gu Xizhou: Evil will be repaid with evil, and good will be rewarded with good.
However, with the appearance of ghosts, order was thrown into chaos. Humans were no longer afraid of death and hurt each other. Some people even voluntarily died and became ghosts. However, ghosts did not reincarnate after death. Instead, they completely disappeared into nothingness.
The chains that represented fate broke. As someone who had seen the future, Gu Xizhou naturally knew what this meant. A door would appear on the ghost's body after the chains broke.
At that moment, a door appeared in front of him.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door. Gu Xizhou was stunned. Someone was knocking on the door.
Gu Xizhou reached out and pressed the doorknob. As he twisted the lock, a hand reached out from behind the dark door and grabbed the side of the door.
The hand was clean and well-defined. The fingers were slender and fair as he forcefully pushed the door open. The man had a head of black hair and his eyes were lowered. His eyelashes formed a fan-shaped shadow on his face. His black eyelashes were slightly curled. He pursed his thin lips. "I'm here to take you home."
Gu Xizhou had many questions to ask Si Yu. He had many things to say to him. However, Si Yu lowered his head and kissed him on the lips. No matter how many questions he had, they were no longer important.
