Chapter 485 The Decline of the Creator
The matter of Sister Muyu's departure has made progress with the Yanjing Incident and the occurrence of supernatural events on the train; at least it is no longer completely unsolved.
It has now been confirmed that the "ghost" possessing her body is a demon slave.
Thinking of this, Chen Ji frowned. He didn't know if it was his imagination or what, but the connection between Sister Mu Yu and the Creator Ghost always gave him a strange feeling of being pushed.
The two known source corpses are both subtly connected to Chen Ji and his group.
The Wang family had said there were at least three Origin Corpses, all of which had withered away. They already knew the identities of two of them—a ghost infant and a creation ghost—but they only knew the last one…
They knew absolutely nothing about it.
Never appeared.
It has never left a trace in this world.
Thinking of Zeng Guichuan's last words, Chen Ji's breath hitched.
"Perhaps the time is not yet right."
Reaching out to touch the rain outside the window, the coolness on his fingertips gradually calmed Chen Ji's mind.
"There are two more prophecies that have not been fulfilled."
One is a tomb, and inside the tomb are two skeletons, one large and one small.
One is a lone figure boating on the Yu River.
These two prophecies might be related to the last source corpse... Chen Ji pondered silently, gently stroking the little monkey on his shoulder, but found nothing.
Turning around, I saw that the little monkey had already run far away and was lying on Liu Zi's lap.
"......never mind."
Chen Ji silently withdrew his gaze.
He then touched the pen in his pocket.
The pen made a sound when it came back, and then didn't say much.
"Pen."
After a while, a lazy voice rang in Chen Ji's mind:
【how】
"Ask you something."
Chen Ji murmured, "What was your state during the time you disappeared?"
"Did it remain in reality, or was it completely erased?"
[I don’t remember]
[Nothing has changed]
To me, it means I've always been in your pocket, and you've always been in the car.
"...In the car." Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly.
He roughly understood what the fountain pen meant.
He lost and regained his pen both at the Zhangzhai station.
From the perspective of a fountain pen, there really isn't much change.
The difference is that one is the outbound journey and the other is the return journey.
"correct."
Chen Ji suddenly remembered something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Here's something for you."
He took out a pen from his pocket and then pulled out half of the essence he had obtained from Wei Lan.
【nature?】
[Press it on me]
The pen spoke slowly, its tone largely flat.
They didn't seem surprised.
Chen Ji tried to bring the glittering essence close to the pen cap, and immediately the essence merged with the one that was originally embedded in the pen cap.
It turned into a large, luminous object, looking like a diamond, making the pen appear very expensive.
Chen Ji held his breath and waited for a few seconds.
.....
.....
The pen suddenly flew out of his hand!
The pen gleamed with a dazzling light, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"Chen Ji, your pen—" Liu Zi's eyes narrowed as he saw the pen flying straight toward him!
A few seconds later, it circled around in front of the little monkey.
The little monkey's button eyes were fixed intently on the pen.
The pen followed him until it was returned to Chen Ji's hands. Chen Ji inexplicably felt as if he were being watched by someone.
"?"
Chen Ji: "What do you mean?"
【hey-hey】
What are you expecting?
"Didn't you tell me that things would change after you got the scrap?"
Chen Ji reminded him.
Yes, it is.
But what I'm saying is...
[“If it falls off later, things might change.”]
[It's still on me, you put it there yourself, have you forgotten?]
"..."
So what changes will actually occur?
[First, it falls off and transforms into a strange creature. Like that red-haired one.]
Second, hand it over to me and let me integrate it; it was originally mine.
Having said all that,
[Your choice]
"Do I have a choice?"
【No】
"..."
Chen Ji instantly regretted his previous actions.
Why this expression?
"It's nothing." Chen Ji refused to let it continue to stimulate him and instead asked:
"What can you do after merging with the essence?"
That will definitely be useful.
[Perhaps it can help you someday]
"is it?"
Chen Ji silently gazed at it: "Is what you say accurate?"
【certainly】
"Then why didn't you tell me that the chips were also part of the calligraphy brush?"
The pen suddenly went silent.
Chen Ji waited quietly for its answer.
[Let's ask another question]
After a long silence, the pen finally spoke.
Chen Ji gave him a deep look, thought for a moment, and then asked:
What exactly are the capabilities of a calligraphy brush?
What you've seen
"what?"
【mural】
Chen Ji's breath hitched.
His mind went blank for a few seconds before hesitantly asking:
"Was the mural painted with a brush?"
【right】
"Did it foretell the end of the world?"
【prophecy?】
Perhaps it counts?
Have you ever heard the story of Ma Liang and his magic paintbrush?
"Which brush is the one inside?" Chen Jizhen found this hard to accept.
What is it?
How is that possible?
That's just a fictional story.
What I'm trying to say is that some of the capabilities of a calligraphy brush are similar to those of that other brush.
What it writes down will surely happen.
What it paints will inevitably come true.
These words reminded Chen Ji of the painting in the workshop.
He understood it in an instant.
The workshop doesn't actually exist!
They entered the painting created by the brush.
Of course, the calligraphy brush is different from the brush in the story.
It was able to accomplish all of this not through some inexplicable "divine power."
Rather, it is the ability to change one's destiny.
"Isn't that your ability?"
The pen remained silent for two seconds.
He simply said:
[Stronger.]
Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.
A fountain pen is essentially the main body of a calligraphy brush; in other words, a calligraphy brush is the complete version of a fountain pen.
The phrase "correcting one's fate" is simple, but upon closer examination, its implications send chills down Chen Ji's spine.
and......
"Is the Creator Demon that terrifying?"
Chen Ji couldn't help but feel a little horrified. The writing brush was nothing more than a strange object created by the Creator!
and many more.
Wait a minute, the calligraphy brush even appeared in the Tomb of the Ghost Baby...
Is this really just a strange object forged by the Creator Demon?
Thinking about this, another question came to mind.
What was the Creator's purpose in forging this strange object?
There is an inseparable connection between a calligraphy brush and two source corpses; it's definitely not that simple.
I'm going to rest now.
The pen said inappropriately.
"and many more."
Chen Ji gripped his pen tightly and asked the last question.
Has the Creator truly exhausted itself?
【Um】
"When?"
The moment the calligraphy brush was created
Chen Ji's hand froze instantly.
The moment the calligraphy brush was invented...
That is, after the sixth essence is thrown out.
He thought of Tuotuo Mountain again, and of the earthquake in the final moments amidst the heavy snow.
He recalled that before the earthquake, the sixth essence was thrown out, and deafening gongs and drums resounded all around, as if ghosts were celebrating the appearance of the writing brush.
After that, the projection of the Creator Ghost disappeared.
In an instant, goosebumps erupted all over his arms.
He and Xu Sandao...
I witnessed the decay of a source corpse!
