Chapter 53: s32
Chapter 251 Star Core Hunter: Next Step
To him, this seemed like an extremely ancient and real dream among countless phantom pains in his previous life...
He saw his hometown being completely destroyed by the fleet of the Buli people among the rich people, and then turned into pasture for the enemy's weapons. His own blood relatives and comrades-in-arms became food for the weapon beasts like a mountain just for a piece of meat without dignity.
After escaping from the purgatory on earth, the rage for revenge sprouted in his heart, and he swore a blood oath that he would slaughter these evil creatures in the future.
But at the same time, he also knew that he was weak.
He didn't know where to go, so he could only follow the merchant ship and drift in this vast sea of stars. Until he stopped at the fairy boat, he was deeply impressed by the ingenious craftsmanship in front of him.
Therefore, he decided to make Zhu Ming Xian Zhou the final destination of his journey, and went around to learn from masters, hoping to enrich his own strength and accumulate a bargaining chip for future revenge.
After unremitting efforts, fate finally favored him, and General Zhu Yuan, one of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor, decided to accept him as his apprentice.
Under Zhu Yuan's guidance, he learned a variety of forging methods, and his talent in forging began to emerge. At a young age, he was recognized as a craftsman.
But in this age when he should have been full of vigor and vitality, he fell into deep self-doubt when he was young. Those people said that he was not lacking in brains or energy, but in life...
As a short-lived species, the knowledge that can be learned is ultimately limited...
But fate favored him again. Just when he was about to think so, he met the fox girl who came from afar with the diplomatic delegation.
The fox woman was gentle and polite. After understanding the situation, she carefully advised Shao Ge: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the old guys. They are not immortals. They are just jealous of you."
"It's not uncommon to see geniuses who passed away in just a few dozen years in the genius club! Their achievements still shocked the world. What does it have to do with a person's life whether he lived long or short?"
"As long as you focus on what you want to do, everything else is God's will."
The young man listened to the fox woman's words. He put aside the gossip of others and devoted himself to studying the forging method. This kind of tenacious attitude eventually won people's recognition.
Later, because he needed to be tempered by real scenes from the outside world, he came to the Luofu Fairy Boat to seek further challenges.
The immortal species, who were proud of their forging skills, saw that he, a short-lived species, thought highly of himself and took part in the Luofu Hundred Forge, so they deliberately made things difficult for him and gave him a bunch of defective products and waste as materials.
But the result is always unexpected. After only one day and one night, he used these discarded mechanical parts to create a lifelike mechanical lion. He was recognized by the Luofu craftsmen and became famous.
Countless fantastic ideas were created in his hands, and he also washed away his former shyness. When he met the fox woman again, he had become a confident and arrogant master craftsman.
The fox woman asked him how he would take this step, and he replied: "I would rather be like a firefly flying into the fire than be like a fallen tree that will never fade. I will let everyone know that Ying Xing's instantaneous life is more valuable than their long and useless lifespans."
Through understanding, he learned that the fox woman was named Bai Heng, a pilot and traveler. With the introduction of the other party, he got to know the other three people, Jianshou Jingliu, his apprentice Jingyuan and Luofu Chiming Longzun Danfeng.
After spending a long time together, he and the four became close friends who could talk about anything, and he created a weapon that suited each of them, the flawless Zhili Sword, the ingenious chain-link Quqi, the exquisite Shihuo Mengshen Formation Knife, and the dragon-like Jiyun Lance.
Later, wars broke out in Luofu. Because the five men had made many contributions and performed brilliant deeds in the wars, and they always fought together, they were collectively called the Five Heroes of the Clouds, and this became a good story in the alliance.
But fate plays tricks on us, and all beauty will eventually be broken.
Qu Yu was swallowed up by the absolutely dark sun along with the tragedy of the fox woman. The sword that killed several enemies finally fell silently. The spear pierced his chest several times, and the broken sword...
After he became the thing he once vowed to destroy...
As the white-haired woman "taught" the sword skills to that body that was fused with rich flesh and blood over and over again, and as she hacked and killed with anger, the flawless sword had already been chopped into pieces after hundreds and thousands of repetitions.
Broken things grow, dead things grow again...
Deep in the bone marrow, buried in the pain of flesh and blood, this body has engraved the sin called "Yingxing" and the regret called "Blade".
And now, as the frivolous woman rained down an indiscriminate rain of sharp swords on the Xianlong Dayu Palace, this regret increased a bit.
"Listen to me: Ah Ren, don't recall anymore..."
In the hazy and residual dream, the personal phantom pain made this body uneasy and trembling, but the gentle voice of the woman in the ear gradually calmed it down.
"Ka... Fuka...?"
A hoarse murmur came from his dry throat, and his consciousness gradually emerged from the dream. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the mechanical ceiling above his head, clean and strange...
Sitting beside the bed, Kafka held the blade's head in both hands, the color in her eyes became deeper.
"Well... I'm here, everyone is here."
"Where is this place?"
Feeling his body stiff and tired, Ren tried hard to sit up, but his chest felt heavy.
Slowly lowering his gaze, he realized that he had put on his clothes without realizing it. There was a little guy sitting astride his chest, fastening the buttons on his chest.
After looking at the blade for a moment, Xiao Tianhuo stood up and explained expressionlessly: "Silver Wolf invaded a ship that was about to leave the port at Liuyundu, and we are on it now."
Although he could do it easily, he still gave the opportunity to the opponent. After all, the more inexperienced you are, the more you should practice.
As he said this, he stepped over Ren's chest, not forgetting to remind the other party.Since you always die, I made you a set of clothes that can repair itself. The repair speed is much faster than your resurrection."
Looking at Xiao Tianhuo jumping off the bed, Ren nodded silently, thought for a moment, and asked, "How is the progress in Luofu?"
"It's pretty good. At least the ending in reality is pretty much the same as in the show." The virtual data projection of Silver Wolf sitting next to him replied while playing games with the joystick and blowing bubble gum, "It's just..."
"that is?"
Ren sat up with some confusion and looked at the woman beside him.
Kafka stared at Ren silently, seemingly considering whether to tell him what Xiao Tianhuo had said before about Dan Heng's actual situation?
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that there is no need for this.
Whether the other party knows the truth or not, it will not change the future that Elio said he would repay.
So she chose another answer that could answer the other person.
"Before leaving Luofu, Elio contacted us and said that another carrier had awakened ahead of time..."
"That kid...?" With a hoarse voice, Ren held his forehead and recalled. After a few seconds, he guessed and asked, "So, should we meet him next?"
"Yes." Kafka nodded and glanced at Xiao Tianhuo beside her. "And hold a joining ceremony for him..."
Chapter 252: Prisoner Visits Rakshasa
Deep in the dark prison cell, a heavy atmosphere spread like ink soaking paper, spreading through this narrow and dim corridor, revealing a decadence and despair that would scare anyone away...
But for the two people walking in it, it seemed like they were already accustomed to it.
Over the years, Jing Yuan, as a general, has traveled to this place countless times, but like ordinary people, he does not like this place, but there are some things he has to do.
As for the mirror flow walking in front of her, the surrounding environment was nothing to her.
She doesn't care about these things. As a girl, she only cares about...
Logically speaking, from the first moment they stepped into the prison, those cloud riders should have arrested them immediately, but they seemed to have received an order and did not move at all.
This made her think about what Jing Yuan had told her...
After thinking about it, Jingliu paused for a moment, turned around, and asked the person behind her: "Jingyuan, who are you taking me to see?"
While staring at the other party quietly, Jing Yuan asked, "Palace Xianlong, Kevin told me that the battle resulted in two deaths and one injury. It was you who killed Dan Heng and Ren, wasn't it?"
Jingliu didn't say anything, she just nodded and didn't deny the fact.
With a sigh, Jing Yuan continued, "But I don't want to settle scores with you later, and I don't have the qualifications to do so..."
He knew very well that he was just a spectator in that so-called farewell.
If not for this, Dan Heng might not have ended up in that situation, but because of this, under the calculation of Dan Feng's remaining will, Hou Yi turned a disaster into a blessing, completed his shed scales and was reborn.
Now that the matter is over, he doesn't need to bring it up again, but there are still some reasons.
"In a few days, you will be sent to the Yuque Immortal Boat." Without looking away, Jing Yuan continued, "But before that, let's take care of your injury first."
Slowly closing his eyes, Jing Yuan felt a familiar breath from the other person. It was the strange deathly aura that he had seen from Dan Heng when he crossed Liuyun Ferry. It still had an effect at this moment.
If this goes on for a long time, I don't know what impact it will have on her who is on the brink of evil.
"Let's go. It turns out that your master who is good at healing is also imprisoned..."
Jing Yuan opened his eyes while talking to himself. He passed Jing Liu and walked straight towards the depths of the corridor. However, after taking a few steps, he heard Jing Liu's murmurs behind him.
"Yuque... Jingyuan, you are still the same as always, always trying to struggle and break other people's plans."
His pace slowed down slightly, Jing Yuan did not look back, but just spoke calmly.
"I originally reported this matter to the Marshal, but General Rong Tao was quite interested in it and stopped us halfway. He set up the Ten Directions Light Reflection Realm and wanted to meet you first."
"Looking" at Jing Yuan, Jing Liu's tone was still cold.
"Jing Yuan, whether you or I, Yunqi, or even the generals of the Imperial Bow, we are all just pawns in the game between the gods. From the beginning, this war between gods is like an arrow shot from a bow, with no possibility of turning back…"
"So what?"
Glancing back at the mirror, Jingyuan is full of joy.
"Don't worry, I will play this game with you till the end..."
"…"
...
In the deep and dim cell, corruption seems to be the only remaining tone here.
This is a place in the prison that is out of reach for ordinary people and is used specifically to detain serious criminals.
Sitting upright on the torture chair, heavy chains locked the blond man tightly, and the faintly burning candlestick beside him provided him with the only warmth and light.
Ta-ta-ta——
Listening to the approaching footsteps in the distance, the man looked ahead calmly with peace in his eyes.
until...
Snap——
The cage was slowly opened.
"How long has it been since the last visit?" Luosha raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the familiar figure approach, pretending to be thoughtful, "Could it be that General Jingyuan has something to ask of you?"
"Oh... I need a favor from you?" Jing Yuan snorted coldly, and asked calmly, "I think Mr. Luosha would not ignore his partner, right?"
As he spoke, he moved aside, and Jing Liu, who was blocked behind him, immediately stepped forward.
"Are you hurt?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, there was no surprise in Luosha's eyes, as if he had anticipated the current situation.
With the faint light from the candlestick, he saw that under the woman's eyes, which were covered by the randomly torn brown remnant of cloth, her missing eyes and brain were filled with solid ice, and a bloody ice mark climbed up her right cheek, looking extremely hideous.
"No problem."
Jingliu nodded, but replied in a nonchalant manner, as if he had only suffered a minor injury.
But even so, Luosha still heard a barely perceptible tremor in her indifferent words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the firmness of this woman's will.
The familiar strange deathly aura and another eternal unchanging aura. Even if the opponent used the power of the demonic body to resist, he could only slightly resist and try to prevent the injury from worsening.
Luosha did not ask who caused Jingliu's injury, but he already had a rough guess in his mind.
He had witnessed it with his own eyes when he was at Liuyun Ferry. This death energy caused the Medicine King's secret magic bodies to wither and decay in an instant. The reason why Jingliu could only be left with such injuries was nothing more than the strength of his physical body.
After thinking for a moment, Luosha nodded and said quietly: "I really won't ignore it, but..."
Luosha did not say anything else, but clenched his palms, and then... a golden pendant was placed in his palms.
"Heh... General Jingyuan is really hypocritical..." Luosha raised his lips slightly and continued, "Since you don't want me to perform the treatment method..."
Snap——
Before he finished speaking, the heavy chains wrapped around his body fell off with a sharp chill.
Looking up, I saw that the one who took action was not Jing Yuan, but Jing Liu who was holding a piece of solid ice in his hand.
"There's no need to say more. Just hurry up."
"I understand..." Luosha took a breath and gestured to the other party, "Sit down..."
Nodding, Jingliu sat on the torture chair where the other person had just sat without hesitation.
Standing in front of Jingliu, Luosha slowly raised his hand, and a gentle green light gradually lit up on the hanging golden cross pendant.
Seeing Jing Liu's frowning brows and the slightly trembling head, Luosha reminded him slowly, "It shouldn't hurt, but you will feel a little strange... maybe sore, maybe numb, can you hold it in and not move?"Hearing this, Jingliu said nothing, and regarded her gradually stopping trembling as a response to Luosha.
Jing Yuan watched the other party's operation silently, and the scene became quiet for a while.
The energy emitting a healing aura slowly sank into Jingliu's eye sockets and stimulated her mind bit by bit, gradually dissipating the foreign objects buried in it, but she was never able to completely offset the eternal aura.
"Don't waste your energy. The seal of immortality is not so easy to erase..."
At this moment, a voice that did not belong to the three people broke the silence.
Hearing that familiar voice, Luosha sighed helplessly, and the surprise that flashed in his eyes was hidden during the sigh.
"Long time no see, Mr. Walter..."
Standing up straight, he slowly put away the pendant in his hand, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and turned his head.
When he saw the unexpected stranger beside him. Another unexpected stranger came, and the astonishment in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
He saw the tall man with brown hair introducing himself to him politely.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Luosha. You can call me Kevin..."
Feeling something was wrong in his heart, Luosha still subconsciously chose to respond to the other party.
"You, Kai..."
But before he could finish his words, he felt a suffocating feeling rising into his heart. It was an extremely powerful hand that was restraining his neck, making him unable to utter any sound.
When everyone was still reacting, Kevin was already standing in front of Luosha.
Slowly raising his hand, Kevin lifted up the Rakshasa who was being strangled by his neck, and looked into the other's eyes, his tone full of questioning and doubt.
"It feels like... you've seen me before?"
Chapter 253 Blonde hair...white hair...?
"It feels like... you've seen me before?"
As the white-haired man blurted out these slightly doubtful words, a dangerous chill emanated from his body, as if freezing the entire space.
At the side, the weakly burning candlestick was extinguished in an instant, and darkness once again enveloped the prison cell, with only a pair of cold blue eyes emitting light.
Looking at the white-haired man's swift and decisive actions, Jing Yuan hesitated to speak. Although he was confused, he still chose not to intervene to stop him.
Based on his previous working style, he believed that the other party was sensible.
Have you seen it?
Could it be... that this is the reason why he wants to meet Luosha?
Faced with the sudden change, Jing Liu, who was sitting on the execution chair, had no time to react.
The treatment was forced to be interrupted. Although most of it was completed, it still made her mind dizzy. She couldn't tell the situation for a while. She could only feel the icy air that was far colder than her own coming again.
It was clearly extremely solid ice, but at this moment, it exuded a sense of violence and danger...
And Walter, hiding in the darkness, finally showed an unbridled and happy smile on his face.
In his opinion, is there anything more pleasing than seeing Otto's face being humiliated? If anything, he hoped it would be a group of Ottos being humiliated in front of him.
Looking at the Rakshasa who was firmly grasped in his hand, whose face was unnaturally flushed due to lack of oxygen, Kevin knew very well that this was just a fake created by the other party.
It is impossible for someone who holds the power of abundant destiny to be hurt so easily.
However, adhering to the idea of communication as the purpose, he slightly reduced the strength in his hands.
A slight relaxation gave Luosha a chance to catch his breath.
"Cough…cough cough!"
Staring at the other party, Luosha's eyes revealed vigilance, and his throat emitted hoarse questions, as if a trapped beast was growling.
"What exactly do you want to do, Your Excellency?"
Facing Luosha's questioning, Kevin's eyes remained unusually calm, and his fingers were like iron clamps, once again tightly gripping Luosha's throat.
"Your question seems a bit redundant, Luosha, do you really think you can get away with that look from Liuyundu?"
Bang--
As he spoke, Kevin pushed Rakshasa against the wall.
"Here, you only have the right to answer."
Although he clearly felt the threat from the other party, Luosha's face showed confusion which was unusual for him.
"Ahem…"
He was like the old father with Alzheimer's disease in the public service advertisement who couldn't even recognize his own son. He looked at Kevin, shook his head fearlessly, and gave a negative answer to the previous question.
"I'm sorry, I... don't know you..."
Looking at the look in Luosha's eyes that didn't seem fake, Kevin had no idea what the other party was up to.
"Oh… is that so?"
Suddenly, a dark red light appeared in Kevin's eyes. A hand like a claw climbed up Luosha's face with an aggressive aura, and the power of consciousness began to operate rapidly.
"It doesn't matter. I prefer to believe the truth given by consciousness rather than the answer given in words."
Red filled his entire vision. Luosha didn't seem to mind another face-touching attack. In a trance, he seemed to remember something.
Luosha smiled calmly and said, "Then... I wish Mr. Kevin can find the answer he wants?"
As his omnipotent consciousness explored more and more deeply, Kevin saw everything that Luosha Luofu did.
Together with Jing Liu, he brought the star core onto the fairy boat, and had a transaction with Yao Wang Mi Chuan, a rest in Changletian, as well as the encounter with Dan Heng at Liuyundu and the battle with Walter.
In the memories explored, everything was as expected, except...
Kevin didn't expect that when he was talking to Jing Yuan, who successfully captured Luosha, the look of astonishment in his former lover's eyes clearly showed something, but now in the other party's memory, it was just an insignificant and casual glance.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kevin asked calmly, his nose trembling slightly.
Even though his face was covered by the other party's palm, Luosha still replied calmly: "Trick? Oh~ I remember, it was just a casual glance on my part, Mr. Kevin, you seem to think too highly of me, a mere businessman?"
Listening to Luosha's words, Kevin continued to search his memory.
"A mere negotiation?" Kevin asked slowly, curling his lips slightly and sneering, "Mr. Luosha, you are really joking. The things you are doing in Airong Castle cannot be done with just a mere negotiation."
On the side, Jing Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard the information from Kevin's mouth, but soon he figured out something.
This seems to be the reason why Kevin has come to visit the prison without any hesitation...
Can you search the other person's memory with just a little movement?Yeah, Mr. Kai, your technique is really good." Luosha praised without any fluctuation in his tone.
Hearing the other party talking about his past, Luosha was still not surprised, as if it was not a secret to him, and it seemed that he was not surprised by the other party's methods.
"Hmph...it seems like you do know something..."
As he tried to figure out the other person's reaction, Kai felt something strange in his heart, as if this visit to the prison was a carefully planned and anticipated event...
"oh?"
Suddenly, Kai sighed in confusion, lowered his eyes, put his hand on his chin and began to think.
After a while, he murmured in a deep voice: "The Veil Star Region... and that difficult-to-pronounce name..."
"A difficult name to pronounce?!"
Hearing these words, Walter on the side subconsciously summoned the Star of Eden, and instinctively wanted to create a pseudo-black hole in this small space.
"Wait, Walter."
As Kai shouted, Walter stopped his movements instantly.
Frowning, Walter asked with great vigilance: "It's a difficult name... So, is he that person?"
With a light sigh, Kai glanced at Walter.
"As you think, he is not the Otto Apocalypse we remember, but..."
"but?"
Just as Walter was looking at the other party in confusion, the images that came through the consciousness system gradually emerged in his field of vision.
That was the memory that kept flowing back...
At the same time, Kai's voice sounded in Walter's mind.
"For some reason, I feel like something is wrong, as if everything we do at this moment is deliberately arranged by someone..."
"Deliberate arrangement?"
Just as Walter was puzzled, the reversed image in his field of vision suddenly stopped and began to play forward.
"It should be here..." Kai said calmly.
It was an endless sea of white flowers, and a pure scent filled the air. The Rakshasa, dressed in the same clothes as today, knelt on the ground, looking like he was praying or confessing.
In front of him was a huge coffin, surrounded by barbed thorns, but the spotless white coffin could not tolerate a trace of dirt.
"Have you made up your mind?"
The contemptuous yet solemn questioning voice sounded from the front, which shocked Kai and Walter.
This voice...
In the picture, as Luosha raised his head, the two saw a face that looked similar to the former.
He was dressed in pure white clothes, with a black lining that revealed a hint of frivolity, a red shawl that looked like a kind of glory, and a low golden ponytail hanging behind his head.
However, those amber-like green eyes did not fall on Rakshasa as expected, but stared at the pure flower in her hand.
"Um..."
Luosha stood up slowly and responded to the other party seriously.
"I will abide by our agreement and stay on our path. The fool will be the first..."
"Since this is the case, please remember your own price."
The one who responded to the Rakshasa was not the blond man whom he called "the fool", but another peaceful female voice.
With the sound of rustling, a woman in a black robe stood up from the flowers, holding a freshly woven wreath in her hands. The scattered petals stuck to her somewhat messy white hair, making her look extremely sacred.
The slender white fingers trembled slightly, and the white wreath in the hand withered instantly.
The woman sighed softly, as if she was used to this situation.
And when she slowly turned her head, Luosha and the two people watching behind her saw a pair of purple and lifeless eyes that they had never seen before.
It was a deep and mysterious color, as if it contained endless might and power, but also carried a hint of confusion and sadness...
...
At this moment, in the center of Xingcha Sea, there were public tables and chairs beside Xuanye Avenue.
The blond boy held his chin and sighed helplessly.
Looking at the white-haired woman who was drinking the fairy happy tea beside him, the boy asked: "So, this is why the teacher exposed me to them?"
"You can think so. Of course, I am also involved. If I have to blame someone, I should blame that Luosha guy for recognizing him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble..." The woman said dissatisfiedly while sucking on the straw as usual.
"It's a pity that those two presents don't know you..." The boy spread his hands, but there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he said with interest: "In that case, it seems that I should thank my similar individual..."Chapter 254: Greetings from a Strange Woman
Looking at those lifeless eyes that were full of mystery, and the depth that seemed to swallow up everything, Kevin finally determined that the other party was the source of all this sense of incongruity.
A layer of mystery was revealed, but what was hidden inside was not the truth, but another larger layer of underwater iceberg.
Searching his own memory, Kevin was very sure that he had never seen this red-haired woman. If that was the case, who was she?
The man standing next to her who looked exactly like Otto...
Putting aside the theory of individual similarities, the clean uniform of the other party was almost the same as the uniform Otto wore when he announced to the world his resignation as Bishop of Heaven's Mandate.
So, is he... Otto?
An unexpected figure, a mysterious woman who has never been seen before...
Kevin kept scanning the two people in Luosha's memory fragments, and all kinds of possible speculations and doubts surged in his mind, which made him temporarily ignore his original purpose - had Luosha seen him?
But what if... there is some connection between these two seemingly unrelated events?
In Luosha's memory, he did not find any traces related to himself. Even the impressive look of astonishment when the other party was in Liuyun Ferry was diluted into a casual glance in this so-called memory.
Such a deliberate result made Kevin suspect that someone was playing tricks in secret. In this memory fragment that was closest to the source of the sense of disharmony, another guy with Otto's face and the strange woman suddenly appeared...
Perhaps... this is the breakthrough point that conceals my desire for answers.
The memory fragments continued, the ring in her hand quickly fell apart, and the black powder scattered all over the ground through her fingers. The woman turned around nonchalantly and shifted her gaze to Rakshasa.
However, this gaze that was staring directly at Luosha made Kevin feel that the other party was not looking at Luosha, but was looking through Luosha at himself who was peeping at him from behind.
But with my control over Rakshasa's consciousness, is this... possible?
Just when Kevin subconsciously denied his guess, he saw the woman slightly raised the corners of her mouth, her lips intertwined, and four words full of incongruity were clearly uttered by her.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
As this incoherent greeting sounded, Kevin's mind went into chaos.
Is the other party... talking about himself?
On the side, Walter, who was watching the broadcast, was also confused. What did this mean?
While Kevin was silent, the voice in his head responded inexplicably without any warning.
[It's you.] ]
Hearing the voice, Kevin's heart tightened slightly. From the response of the voice in his head, he actually heard a rare sense of surprise.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that the thing in my brain knows the other party?
Just as Kevin was wondering, the scene in front of him suddenly froze, as if an invisible force had inexplicably pressed the stop button.
In an instant, the power of consciousness came to a halt.
Wow——
The leaked dark red light raged in this small space like a turbulent torrent, quickly passing across the cheeks of everyone on the field.
Feeling the hand covering his face tremble slightly and gradually loosen, as the feeling of restraint disappeared, the exploration of memory seemed to end as well. Luosha slid down the wall behind him and sat down at the foot of the wall exhausted.
"Cough… cough cough…"
Looking up at the shaved-haired man in front of him, Luosha noticed the astonishment in the other's eyes. He suppressed his physical discomfort, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked kindly: "Oh? It seems that Mr. Kevin has got the answer he wanted..."
But before Luosha could finish his words, he heard the sound of the stone wall beside him collapsing.
Bang--
Turning his head, he saw a pair of black gloves tightly grasping a stone that had been taken from the sunken wall.
In the blink of an eye, the stone was ground into powder by the black-covered palm.
"You are so incompetent and noisy. Do you really think you are so important?"
The deep voice drew Luosha's attention. He raised his head and saw a pair of eyes filled with gloom and anger, staring at him silently.
The exploration of his memory was forcibly blocked by the voice in his head, which made him feel a little annoyed. Adding to that the annoying tone of the person being explored, Kevin still felt a little unhappy, no matter how calm his personality was.
With a light sigh, a dark and turbid aura of death emerged in his hands. Kevin did not explore the meaning of the voice in his head.
He slowly squatted down and patted Luosha's cheek.
With a breath, under the influence of the power of death, half of Luosha's face instantly turned extremely dry and black, like a dried corpse that had been lying in the wilderness for many years.
"Tell me the identities of those two people, otherwise, I don't mind letting you feel the aftermath of a complete dead body."
Jing Yuan on the side was surprised. He didn't expect Kevin to use this method to force a confession, but he didn't step forward to stop him. He knew that the other party had some tricks up his sleeve.
At the same time, he was also surprised at the ability displayed by Kevin. Compared with this, the aura he had felt from Dan Heng before was nothing.
However, as he thought, this Rakshasa was quite difficult to kill...
As time passed, Jingliu's consciousness gradually became clearer.
Sensing the turbid deathly energy surging in the space, Jing Liu subconsciously became alert and wanted to get up to help, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from the torture chair she was sitting on.
"Honestly, you should be glad that this matter has nothing to do with you..."
Walter grabbed the back of the torture chair and pushed the mirror flow that Kevin had frozen in time in the direction of Jing Yuan.
Looking at Jing Yuan, Walter said calmly: "General Jing Yuan, we hope that no one knows what happened here today."
"I...know..."
Seeing the other party's affirmative response, Walter nodded and looked at Luosha who was sitting in the corner and was infected by death. He also had many doubts.
Especially... the guy who looks more like Otto Apokalis than the former.
Looking at Walter walking towards Kevin, and the dangerous aura that kept strangers away from him, Jing Yuan seemed to see the unprecedented seriousness of the two.
That was an attitude that the other party had never shown when facing the Lord of Extinction.
Thinking about the question Kevin asked Luosha earlier, Jing Yuan felt that the other party's identity was definitely not just an unknown guest...
I felt the unbridled energy surging through my body, corroding and withering every part of my body, but it suddenly stopped at the critical moment.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly an extremely painful torture, but for Luosha, it seems to be nothing more than that. He panted lightly and said in a tired voice: "Those two... are just partners I met before the start..."
"Partner? Haha...it seems you do know what I saw."
Seeing that Luosha was about to respond, Kevin released his hand that was lifting his chin, slowly stood up, and sat down on the chair he had constructed behind him.
"So, tell me, what are the identities of those two people, and the agreement between you, and what is the price? And... did you notice that your memory has been modified?" Looking down at the dying Luosha leaning against the wall, Kevin asked all at once, his tone not allowing for a trace of refusal.
Looking up at Kevin and Walter standing beside him, Luosha's eyes were still full of fearlessness. He tightly grasped the golden cross pendant in his hand, and the weak energy healed his withered body bit by bit, giving it new life.
But for some reason, those agate-like green eyes suddenly lit up with a quiet purple light.
Looking at Kevin, "he" slowly responded.
"Okay... I'll tell you... everything I know..."Okay... I'll tell you... what I know..."
As "Rakshasa" responded softly, wisps of light energy slowly flowed around "him", and purple traces that were almost the same as the light in his eyes gradually climbed up his face and left obvious marks.
This change seemed extremely peaceful and quiet, yet it also revealed a hint of weirdness. Although the aura it emitted was very slight, the two people present felt like they had seen it before.
"This, this is…?!"
Seeing this scene, Walter, who was standing next to Kevin, couldn't hold back his excitement for a moment.
Recalling the time he met Kevin on the train who had just woken up from the six-phase ice, it was enough to leave a deep impression on him. Now he saw this familiar thing with his own eyes...
Feeling very troubled, he widened his eyes and looked at Luosha in disbelief.
It's not over yet, right? You've already come to Luofu, why are you still chasing me?
Even though there were countless alpacas running in his heart, with Kevin's previous restraint, Walter still managed to hold back from having an outburst, only his palms that were holding the back of the former's chair were trembling slightly.
Feeling the aura flowing through the body of the person in front of him, Kevin raised his hand and grasped some of the energy that was escaping. After gently rubbing it between his fingertips, he immediately made a judgment.
"It's not wrong, Honkai energy..."
As he spoke, Kevin frowned slightly, staring at the "Rakshasa" who was leaning against the wall, his body covered with traces of Honkai energy erosion. The other party's eyes revealed an undisguised indifference, which made him feel a little strange.
"You are not Rakshasa, who are you?" Kevin asked decisively after taking a deep breath.
As soon as he finished speaking, invisible airflow and space barriers instantly enveloped the three of them.
Watching the three people's gradually blurred figures, Jing Yuan, who was excluded, was suddenly shocked. Although he could not understand what Kevin meant by "Honkai Energy", the conclusion that "it was not Rakshasa" made him have a different guess.
He was certain that the person imprisoned here was undoubtedly a Rakshasa, and there was absolutely no possibility of him being replaced. However, if someone took over his body and usurped his consciousness, it would be difficult to judge.
On the other hand, with Kevin's deliberate obstruction, "Rakshasa" did not seem to be affected by the blockage of the space.
"He" slowly curled up one leg and placed his palm on his knee very casually, as if this posture could make this corroded body feel more comfortable.
Then, "he" raised his eyes, looked at Kevin who was sitting in front of him, and commented inexplicably: "Compared to others, you always seem to have the most problems."
"As for who I am... is it really important?" Holding up half of his face, "Rakshasa" did not deny Kevin's judgment just now, but asked in return, "Or does this contradict your original purpose of coming here?"
"But this is not a contradiction, because you leave me no choice, right?" Kevin said without any hesitation.
What a coincidental target, what a coincidental target. This made him suspicious and wonder whether the other party's appearance was inextricably linked to his own needs.
Listening to Kevin's reply, the other party tapped the half of the face that was supported with his fingers. The withering of power disappeared instantly, and the cheek regained vitality, as if it had never been affected in any way.
"Very good, it seems that you are still as I thought, as always, and have never changed."
"Rakshasa" nodded nonchalantly, without any surprise in his eyes, as if he had expected the other party to give such a reply from the beginning.
However, Kevin felt an inexplicable disharmony in these words.
Why does the other person's tone sound as if he knows me...?
Thinking of this, Kevin recalled that he could never find the answer when he was looking through Luosha's memory, and the source of the sense of disharmony he saw in the sea of pure flowers at the end of the memory.And at this moment, these two feelings of disharmony finally overlapped and blended.
"It's you?!"
Kevin stared at the calm purple eyes with astonishment in his eyes, as if he had ignored the tone of his own voice and the words that the voice in his head had said were exactly the same.
"Did you finally notice it?" The slightly messy hair still couldn't hide the tranquility and sharpness hidden in the eyes. He pushed the golden hair behind his ears and said calmly, "You look surprised."
"Who are you?" Kevin asked immediately after the words fell.
Listening to the inexplicable conversation between the two people's brain waves, Walter was confused.
In Luosha's so-called sea of memory, he was forced out of the shared consciousness before he could even see the face of the shaggy-haired woman clearly.
At this moment, he was obviously unaware of the brief eye contact between the two.
"Rakshasa" didn't seem to care about Walter's reaction, and his eyes were always on Kevin.
Seeing the other party asking again, "Rakshasa" sat cross-legged, holding his chin, and said calmly: "Don't be too anxious. I said that I will tell you everything I know, and you can naturally ask me all the truths you desire, but..."
but?
Hearing this, Kevin frowned slightly, he knew that things would not be that simple.
"Everything has a price, doesn't it?" Looking at Kevin, "Rakshasa" pinched his chin and thought about it, "However, you are not qualified to bear this price at the moment..."
"So, to keep my promise, let's play a game."
As he spoke, the "Rakshasa" extended his hand as an invitation.
Kevin was silent for a moment, a dark red light flickering in the depths of his eyes, but in his field of vision, there was a hint of pure purple, nothing else.Without further probing, Kevin decided to follow the other party's intention first and then counter it.
"What game?"
Slowly spreading his palm, "Rakshasa" said: "You ask questions, I answer them. There are five questions, but there is only one true answer..."
"And in the end, you can guess the only truth. If you guess it right, I will reward you. Otherwise, you will be punished..."
Looking at Kevin who was in silence, "Rakshasa" asked: "So, what is your choice?"
...
In the center of Xingcha Sea, on a public table and chair next to Xuanye Avenue, the blond boy spread his hands helplessly as he looked at the woman with long hair sitting next to him.
"I don't understand why you suddenly changed your mind? Breaking the rules and telling the truth in advance, will this really not affect our plan?"
Glancing at the boy, the woman's eyes remained calm.
"You seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding. From the beginning to the end, we didn't have any plan. All we had was a goal."
As she spoke, her eyes flashed with a deep and dark light, as if she was looking through the boy and at the person sitting opposite her in the prison.
"As for these so-called rules, Adrifen's chess game is not equal. In order to avoid the worst outcome, you, me, and 'he' can use any means necessary."
