Because the surrounding feels too real and his body is transparent, he can"t fool himself into thinking that it"s a dream, and his luck has always been not good. He absolutely does not think he can survive the accident of an airplane explosion.
"Do you want to live?"
Suddenly, a cold and steady machine like voice that lacked human emotions sounded in the stars.
Gu Bai blanked and did not respond, he really doesn"t know what"s the current situation, it doesn"t look like heaven or h.e.l.l, what the heck it this?
With all his doubts, Gu Bai could not help but look around and wanted to find the source of that voice. "Who are you?"
That voice paused and said, "I am not important. The important thing is that you are going to disappear. I can give you the chance to live..."
"What does it mean to disappear?" Gu Bai sharply seized the point.
"You are dead. You are now just a weak soul. If you disappear again, you have no chance to reincarnate, that is to say, there will never be..."
The voice is very patient.
Accompanied by that voice, Gu Bai could indeed feel that his body was becoming more and more transparent, and his soul was getting weaker and weaker, as if it were to disappear soon.
This feeling that he will forever never exist doesn"t feel very good, and he doesn"t want to actually die.
No matter how cruel the reality is, starting from the very first day he became sensible in the orphanage, there was only one thought in his mind.
Live and continue to live a even better life, this is his dream.
But this pie that fell from the sky is unbelievable, so he still hesitated and continued to observe the empty darkness.
"...I want to live, but what are your conditions?"
“My condition is that you become my subordinate, enter the world that I appoint and complete the mission...”
That voice is still cold and emotionless.
"What task do I need to complete?" Gu Bai continued to ask.
The voice did not hurry to answer. After a short silence, the dark s.p.a.ce around it changed, and then books with flash of light appeared and kept flying midair.
“As you now see, although these books are stories, they are actually small worlds that really exist. The characters in these books all have real souls the moment they"re born...”
"I need you to enter the worlds of these books to fulfill the desires of those who have sought for my soul. By then, when the mission is completed, you will continue to enjoy life in those worlds. If you fail, you will disappear forever. Even the present condition of the soul can"t exist..."
"In other words, even if I live, I use the sh.e.l.l of someone else?"
Gu Bai was a little overwhelmed. He wanted to be alive. However, what"s the point of living as someone else, is Gu Bai"s life still meaningful?
It seems to have felt his hesitation, that cold voice was silence for a while then sounded once more.
"Yes, but if the mission is done well, I may give you a chance to be reborn in the future. Live in the state of a soul to complete tasks or disappear immediately? You have half an hour to choose..."
"I choose to do the tasks."
Gu Bai is no longer hesitant. Although he is no longer a human being and living body is also the skin of others, but at least it is better than disappearing forever.
He didn"t want to die. Humans are greedy. At least he didn"t want to die right now. Not to mention this mysterious voice said that if it was done well, he would have the a chance reborn.
"The goal has been agreed, signing a contract, name Gu Bai, male, 23 years old..."
When the words fell, the cold voice sounded and Gu Bai just felt the surrounding s.p.a.ce distorting. Then something entered his body and transformed his transparent soul into an actual body, very comfortable.
With the sense and hope of living on, Gu Bai touched his soul"s body and felt very satisfied. The youthful face showed a pure smile.
This is what he was naturally born with, although the word pure and the black hearted orphanage he crawled out from didn"t match, but he still naturally grew a pure looking face.
This may be one of the reasons why this mysterious voice chose him to do the task. A pure person is probably a loyal and hard working subordinate?
Actually his personality is not pure and honest, but he knows "A wise man submits to circ.u.mstances".
So he quickly accepted the circ.u.mstances, and relented in the s.p.a.ce where there"s literally no one.
"Master, I am ready to start the mission..."
"Alright, immediately enter the world. Remember, if you die before completing the mission, you will disappear forever..."
