Chapter 265 Shocking Scam

"I'll sort out the clues..."

"This Gate of Reincarnation does have a special ability to lure resentful souls. It can turn them from madness to dementia. It also has a special attraction."

"Once it appears, wandering souls within hundreds of miles will involuntarily move towards the door."

"When the door forms, it condenses into solid fragments that can be knocked down easily."

"The knocked-down fragments will fall and disappear when the Gate of Reincarnation closes."

"Have the fragments that were not knocked down disappeared, or are they waiting to appear next time?"

"The most important thing is...why do these fragments appear? Where do these fragments come from?"

After repeated experiments, Li Ge finally understood the origin of this thing.

Whenever a resentful soul is crushed inside, pure spiritual energy crystals will appear on the door, making all living creatures within reach.

It's like a psychic crystallization machine powered by resentful souls.

After understanding this, Li Ge was not overjoyed, but instead felt cold all over.

Resentful souls are not entirely unconscious.

Even though low-level resentful souls only have instinct and madness, there are still many high-level resentful souls that are no different from intelligent creatures.

For example, Wu Fan's tiger spirit, and another example is the infant spirit Li Ge just met when he came down the mountain.

Putting aside the characteristics of the resentful soul itself as an intelligent creature, just comparing and analyzing it from the perspective of traditional mythology is terrifying enough.

According to legend, people's reincarnation is determined by doing good and evil during their lifetime.

A good person will live a peaceful and happy life if he chooses a good family.

Evil people not only have to go through 18 levels of hell and get rid of their sins, but they will also become poor and disabled people in the next life when they are reincarnated, and they may even enter the animal realm.

"However...does the legendary reincarnation and afterlife really exist?"

"This..." the system said hesitantly in Li Ge's mind, "myths and legends, they always change."

Li Ge chuckled, with unspeakable sarcasm in his voice.

"Do you think this is just a legend? Kyushu is a country where civilization has never been cut off!"

A steady stream of ancient relics have been unearthed, and many documentary records from the time record everything clearly.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is what people have believed in since ancient times.

After a moment of silence, Li Ge let out a long sigh.

"Since you said it was a misinformation, we will find out today."

"System, can't you ignore all data protection and reach any database?"

"Indeed." The system replied.

"In that case, please check when the theory of six paths of reincarnation first appeared."

After a moment, the system's voice sounded: "The information on the Six Paths of Reincarnation is suspected to have originated 2763 years ago. There are only totems and oracle bones, but it cannot be confirmed yet."

"And the relevant testable information that has been determined originates from before 1948."

"What about the content?" Li Ge asked.

The system went silent.

"Is it surprisingly consistent with what is said today?"

"Yes, it is."

Li Ge sneered.

"Is it weird? If a myth and legend is just a legend, how can it not change shape for nearly 2,000 years?"

"Unless...it describes a reality that hasn't changed in 2000."

"Unless someone is behind the scenes and keeps giving official explanations!"

Li Ge was categorical.

You know, if it were just a myth and legend, there would definitely be various changes in the land of Kyushu.

Such as various story books, operas...

Many of them will be based on myths and legends for secondary creation.

When a creative work is widely circulated, the myth changes shape.

After the changes reach a certain level, even if they get the so-called correct version from a hundred years ago, people will not correct it. Instead, they will pass it on as new legends and continue to change.

so……

Who is the person who keeps giving the official explanation?

Are they deliberately deceiving?

What is their purpose?

Why must this theory of reincarnation be deeply rooted in people's hearts?

Could these things...be done by the gods of the past?

Questions flashed through Li Ge's mind, making Li Ge confused.

"But this thing doesn't match up with the legend! Then...isn't this thing the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" The system was hesitant at the beginning, but became extremely sure after a moment.

"There must be a mistake! What about the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I was just talking nonsense."

Li Ge took a deep breath and gathered his mind.

"Did you tell me everything?" He pretended to be relaxed and teased, and with a wave of his hand, he gathered the pure spiritual energy crystals out of thin air, scattered them on the land around him, and then closed the Gate of Reincarnation...

No, it would be more appropriate to call it "Ghost Slaughter Gate".

Li Ge renamed it at will in his mind.

The moment he closed the Ghost Slaying Gate, the spiritual energy crystals scattered on the ground turned into strands of rich spiritual energy, lingering around Li Ge, making Li Ge feel refreshed.

The Ghost Slaughter Gate has turned into a round stone again, with very small cracks on it that cannot be seen unless you look closely.

Li Ge looked at this thing and remained silent.

The system said that this thing is not the Six Paths of Reincarnation at all.

But somewhere in the dark, Li Ge's intuition gave a definite answer.

This thing, 100%! no doubt! It’s the door to reincarnation!

Is the millennium-old myth of six realms of reincarnation a hoax?

Come to think of it! If a person's soul will be strangled after death, who would be willing to hear such a cruel truth?

If this thing is really the reincarnation channel...

That whole hell...

The legendary Sansheng Stone, Naihe Bridge, Meng Po Tang...

What do these things really look like?

Thinking of this, Li Ge felt a sense of trembling inexplicably.

"The truth behind traditional myths... is probably not something I can understand by myself."

Li Ge thought of the stone slab he had forced into the Kingdom of Hades from the ground.

There are scratches on it... They say they are pictures, but judging from their arrangement, they look more like some kind of hieroglyphics...

"Do I still need to decrypt the text?" Li Ge only felt a headache.

"Should I find professionals to cooperate?" Li Ge murmured, somewhat undecided.

…

"Did you see it? Did you see it clearly?" In the camp, Yao Wenmao and his men were surrounding a screen.

At this time, Yao Wenmao was asking eagerly.

"To be honest... I can't see clearly. It's too foggy, Master."

Yao Wenmao glared at the person next to him. Although he didn't curse out loud, his meaning was clearly expressed.

The left eye is waste, and the right eye is waste. Together they are waste.

"But!" The subordinate quickly made amends, "At least the outline is still clear!"

After some fiddling, a replay appeared on the screen.

In the milky white fog, the outline of an arch appears from time to time.

Unexpectedly, Yao Wenmao was furious: "Who asked you to watch the replay! Hurry up and continue monitoring to see where he put the blood stone!"

The camera cut back, and it happened that Li Ge was holding the blood stone and making a pocket movement.

"Just... keep it in your pocket?" Yao Wenmao and the people around him looked at each other.

This is a treasure! It would be a bit disrespectful to just say this casually!

But this is better!

"It seems that Li Ge doesn't care about the blood stone at all."

Yao Wenmao touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"It's Li Ge!" Suddenly, someone behind Yao Wenmao said bitterly.

Yao Wenmao turned around, only to see passerby A standing behind him at some point.

Passerby A saw Yao Wenmao noticing him and came to his senses.

Yao Wenmao rolled his eyes, waved his hand, motioning for the other people to step back, and stood up to face the passerby.

"Mr. Lu, do you have any ideas?"

Passerby A hesitated.

"May I ask what Third Young Master means..."

"The blood stone we are looking for fell into the hands of Li Ge." Yao Wenmao smiled clearly, "However, as we can see now, we are not completely without a chance."

"You mean..."

"Steal!" Yao Wenmao said firmly.

Passerby A was a little moved, but suddenly recalled the strength Li Ge showed when he was underground, and shuddered.

"...No! A strong man like him..."

Yao Wenmao stretched out his hand and patted Passerby A heavily on the shoulder.

"Second Uncle's people will be here soon. Think about it, if they hear that you are watching the blood stone fall into the hands of others, what will happen to you?"

Passerby A shuddered again.

"But...you are the main person in charge of this operation."

Yao Wenmao nodded in agreement.

"Of course, I also need to be responsible. But, I am a member of the Yao family."

Yao Wenmao justified what was unfair.

The Yao family will always be different from the lower-level employees of the group. Even if you don't live up to expectations, the most you can do is to be deprived of your position and become a complete idiot, living a life of debauchery and food and clothing.

This kind of punishment is the life that Passerby A desires most.

No matter how cruel the world is, as long as the Yao family does not fall, Yao Wenmao can still have a worry-free life.

However, looking at passerby A...

Passerby A clenched his fists and looked a little ugly.

"Of course, Mr. Passerby, neither I nor you are willing to appear as a loser in front of others. Therefore, we need to work together."

Passerby A looked away from Yao Wenmao and turned to stare at the picture on the screen.

At this time, the surveillance instrument had just chased Li Ge away, and there was only an empty fog and branches and trunks that appeared at an unknown time.

Passerby A gritted his teeth: "Still stealing? You may not even be able to find him!"

Yao Wenmao rolled his eyes.

——Any drama?

"We are responsible for finding the person. If we can find the person, can Mr. A passerby be responsible for stealing the blood stone back?"

Passerby A opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Yao Wenmao said quickly: "Of course, if the blood stone can be recovered, most of the credit will go to you, the passerby."

"You also know how important the bloodstone is to our divine creature group. If this matter comes to pass, you, passerby, will definitely become the backbone of our group, and you will have a bright future."

"this……"

--Do? Don’t do it?

Passerby A took a deep breath: "Okay! That's it!"

——Let God decide! Besides, it's not certain whether Yao Wenmao can find Li Ge in the vast mountains!
