The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 129 New Business
"Have you ever recorded the time you changed places?" Liu Sheng asked Song Ru seriously, his eyes lighting up.

This seems to be a brand new topic!

Liu Sheng's scorching gaze made Song Ru feel a little itchy all over.

She had an illusion that she had turned into a roasted chicken, coated with honey and roasted to a crystal clear and mouth-watering level.

She scratched behind her ear and thought carefully: "In the strange den, it seems that there were six times."

"But we didn't know?" Liu Sheng remembered that he had never noticed this.

"Because you guys are always not here."

"After leaving Gui Dun, this should have happened more than a dozen times..."

"Thirteen times?" Liu Sheng interrupted.

"Yes, it should be about the same! How did you know?" Song Ru looked at Liu Sheng in surprise.

"This is not important for now, please continue. What happened these dozen times?"

"First, I returned to Qinghe. After saying goodbye to Captain Chen Shanyuan and the others, I returned to my home, which is this house. Because I was too tired, I fell asleep directly. As a result, when I woke up, I saw myself standing by the bed, and another me was lying on the bed!"

Liu Sheng asked curiously, "If the other you was lying down and sleeping, why did you kill her? Can't we just get along peacefully?"

【Just like us, so peaceful. 】

[I never thought about fighting for control of the body! ]

[Or...has it already been fought over?]

[Hiss! The more you think about it, the more terrifying it is! ]

Liu Sheng dispelled all distracting thoughts.

Song Ru's face darkened instantly as she continued, "I didn't want to either, but the 'me' on the bed also woke up, and her first reaction was to kill me."

"What about the dozen or so times afterwards?"

"Then I went back to Qinghe Academy to study. I encountered it twice when I went to the bathroom. It appeared behind the bookshelf when I was reading in the library. I encountered it once on the way home from school. I could only put these corpses in the storage bag."

"As a result, I encountered it several times after returning home at night, which made me sleepless all night."

Liu Sheng nodded. Seeing the big dark circles under Song Ru's eyes, he knew what he said was true. No wonder he saw her looking so haggard so early in the morning.

“And then you found yourself breaking through?”

"Hmm..." Song Ru suddenly came back to her senses, "How did you know?"

"Didn't you say you were going to take the imperial examination? And you went to Qingzhaotang so early in the morning. It's easy to make the connection, right?" Liu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes, that's right. Maybe I've been distracted by this matter recently and my memory is particularly confused."

"Like now, I can't even react to the fact that there are so many bodies in the well... I don't want to fill a bag with myself... What should I do..."

"I ended up getting several questions wrong. How am I going to take the exam? The lecturer said I might not pass..."

The more Song Ru thought about it, the sadder she became. She was filled with grief and anger and began to bite her fingers hard.

"Um, we were just talking about breakthrough in cultivation." Liu Sheng reminded.

"Oh, right!" Song Ru's thoughts were indeed a little confused. "In short, maybe because he had gone through the Guitou, his cultivation had already reached the limit of the fifth level of the initial realm. He was just one step away from breaking through. In the end, he broke through under the stimulation of continuous fighting."

"First, I want to tell you something." Liu Sheng said seriously, "Your breakthrough is probably because you killed enough of yourself."

"Ah?" Song Ru felt as if she had been struck by lightning after hearing this.

What kind of horrible setting is this!

"So, you can become stronger by killing yourself. This is a great ability. As long as you continue to kill, you should be able to steadily increase your cultivation without having to worry about bottlenecks."

"But you may need a better way to destroy the body. It smells too bad here." Liu Sheng couldn't hold it in any longer. "Let's talk somewhere else."

"Oh, okay." Song Ru was stunned and followed Liu Sheng slowly back to the flower hall.

"Do you remember what you said to Li Mingzhu in the Trickster?"

"It seems like...ah...challenging myself?" Song Ru vaguely remembered.

Then she thought of everything that happened in the car, her eyelashes drooped, casting a deep shadow. Liu Sheng knew why she was sad, and continued: "The power of the rule gave you such a special ability. You can become stronger by challenging yourself."

[It suddenly occurred to me that before, one had to pray to the Supreme God to gain the ability to practice. Could it be possible to pray to the strange now? ]

[The principle is not yet clear, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.]

"But I don't want to challenge..." Song Ru bit her nails and said hesitantly.

"Even if you become stronger after every challenge?"

Song Ru fell silent.

"When another you appears, will you have a premonition?"

"Well..." Song Ru recalled, "I could feel someone was watching me, so I had to hide quickly."

Liu Sheng thought thoughtfully: "It's a vicious cycle. When you are left alone, another 'you' appears."

"What do you mean?"

"I wonder if you've noticed that every time 'you' want to kill yourself, it's when you're alone?"

Liu Sheng felt that this phenomenon was very obvious, and she didn't understand why Song Ru couldn't notice it.

"So if you really don't want to kill yourself, maybe you can find someone to watch you." Liu Sheng said, "Of course this is just my guess, you can try it."

"Ah? Really?" Song Ru had never expected it to be so simple. She scratched her head.

[I feel like her brain cells have been damaged during the division? Shouldn't she become stronger in all aspects?]

Liu Sheng quietly asked the world in his heart.

[She has been in a state of nervous tension, and her resilience is not high, which eventually caused mental exhaustion. It is recommended that she go to the clinic for treatment, otherwise it may cause permanent intellectual decline. ]

It seems that being a new human being is not easy.

Liu Sheng was sighing when he heard Song Ru's soft voice: "Can I ask you to accompany me for one night?"

"I can give you money."

Liu Sheng felt something was strange.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Sheng left Song Ru's house yawning, with big dark circles under his eyes and the ten spirit essences he had just obtained in his pocket.

Song Ru originally wanted to give Liu Sheng the heirloom spiritual object given by her mother as additional compensation, but Liu Sheng still refused, feeling that he could not really help much.

There was no killing of monsters or anyone else.

The two of them sat there staring at each other blankly for the entire night. Later, Liu Sheng couldn't hold it any longer and took out "The Art of Magic" to review.

Song Ru asked out of curiosity and found out that Liu Sheng was also going to take the imperial examination, so she took the initiative to say that since she had nothing to do, she might as well help Liu Sheng with his studies.

As a result, she got eight out of ten questions wrong and was so confused that Liu Sheng had to help her solve the questions.

Although Liu Sheng had not studied much technical subjects, he had at least learned "World 2.0" and his knowledge was particularly solid, so he was able to solve the problems with ease.

How can I not be tired after doing exercises all night?

However, it also proved that it was just as Liu Sheng guessed. When someone was observing her, Song Ru would not show another "herself".

In addition, Liu Sheng also received a new order for refining equipment.

【Make a convenient crematorium that is smokeless. 】

【No smoke, good for the environment. 】

[It’s not difficult, but I still feel a little nervous. ]

【But I have money. 】

[What is morality, what is the bottom line? As a weapon refiner, of course I have to share other people's worries. ]

【Open up a new track from now on! 】
