"My...kindness?" When I heard this sentence, I felt that the purple ghost must be joking, because how could such a thing be given out in exchange? Kindness is something in a person's nature, can it be taken away? Can it be taken away?
"I don't quite understand. Can I take out my kindness? Or will I no longer be a kind person after becoming stronger?" I asked quickly.
The purple ghost nodded and said: "The stronger a person's ability, the stronger his desire, and the stronger his temper... In short, as the ability changes, the person's temperament will change. This It is inevitable, so are you prepared?"
I thought about it, and at that moment, to be honest, the idea of becoming stronger had become deeply ingrained in my mind. I didn’t even have time to think carefully about what the purple ghost meant by the price of becoming stronger, losing. What does my kindness mean? The only thing I think about is that I can become a man that Rujun can rely on in the future, but protect Rujun, Lao Mao and Dahuang, instead of hiding behind them all the time like now. Under the protection, so cowardly, so useless.
"I'm ready. If you can, please let me become stronger." I said lowly and firmly.
"Very good, I really saw the right person. You have to know that the thing you got now is what countless people in the underworld under our Sijiu City are looking for. This thing is very precious, so you must not tell Others have it in your hands." The purple ghost seemed a little verbose, and I saw him take out a silver thing from his arms.
It was a small but delicate silver skull. It was only the size of a walnut. It glowed coldly in the dim room, but maybe it was because of the dim color of the lantern in my hand. Now I looked at it and felt that the skull was Golden.
Anyway, it must be metallic because the sheen doesn't fool me.
The purple ghost stretched out his slender fingers and pressed hard on the left and right sides of the skull. At this moment, there was a "click" sound, and the skull suddenly opened its mouth.
After the skull's mouth opened, a slender metal tongue slowly stretched out from the inside. It turned out to be a very delicate and compact mechanism, which was really mysterious.
And on the metal tongue, there is a very small thing hooked. This thing looks a bit like a mulberry, the surface is not flat, and the whole thing exudes a strange light.
When I saw this thing, the first thing I thought of was the gourd seeds that the pangolin brought to my grandfather in the cartoon Calabash I watched when I was a kid. Could this be a magical seed?
The purple ghost didn't say much to me. He just handed me the skull and said, "Have you seen this? Pick it up."
I did not disobey his instructions and quickly picked up the mulberry-like thing hooked on the skull's tongue.
The purple ghost continued: "Eat it."
I looked at the mulberry in my hand, and then at the purple ghost's white eyes, feeling a little hesitant.
There are two old Chinese sayings, disaster comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. Chinese people have many taboos and particularities about eating and talking.
Although the purple ghost just said a lot to me, when I knew he wanted me to eat, I still instinctively rejected him.
Because I was thinking in my mind, could this thing be poisonous?
The purple ghost glanced at me and said with a smile: "What? Are you scared?"
I nodded and didn't lie to him. In fact, now, I also know that there is really a big difference in strength between me and this purple ghost. And for a ghost who has lived for at least six or seven hundred years, I am so
Even if the boy is a genius, he is just a fledgling kid, so I have no intention of scheming with him. Everything is just a matter of opinion.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, let alone use you. I want to kill you and use you. There are a thousand ways and means. There is no need to give you something that everyone in the underworld has coveted for a long time.
, feel free to eat it, in this case, you will become a new you." The purple ghost said in a low voice, his tone was sincere, and it didn't sound like he was lying.
"Of course, if you don't want to eat it, I won't force you. I will take it back and let Mr. Niu take you away." The purple ghost said in a low voice.
I nodded and said, "In that case, I'd better eat it. I want to believe you." Because I think what he said is right. He really doesn't need to be so glib for a small role like me.
After that, I picked up the strange, shiny fruit that looked like a mulberry from the tongue of the skull. The little thing was very cold in my hand, as if it was a piece of ice.
Then I put it in my mouth and swallowed it without any hesitation.
The cold feeling poured from my throat into my stomach, which caught me off guard.
I exhaled quickly, and then I felt my whole body tremble.
But it only trembled for a moment, and after that, I felt nothing.
Is this the end? Have I become stronger like this?
I looked at the purple ghost, and then looked elsewhere, and found that there was no obvious change in my body. I might still be the same person as before.
"What? Are you anxious?" The purple ghost gently put away the metal skull that had nothing in his hand, and said: "Don't worry, although you will become stronger in a short time, it will not be effective immediately. Remember
Remember, the stronger your ability, the greater your responsibility. And from now on, you will go through a lot of trials to become stronger. What you eat is a seed, and now it begins to sprout.
when."
After the purple ghost finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "Mr. Niu, please excuse me."
Almost instantly, Mr. Niu appeared at the door. He opened the door and slowly walked in. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the purple ghost or me.
"Please take him out, please. Thank you." The purple ghost said in a low voice. The words were polite, but there was a hint of bossiness in his tone.
Mr. Niu quickly took me out of the room. Mr. Niu didn't say another word until I left.
I wanted to turn around and say goodbye to that purple ghost, but when I turned around, the room was already empty.
After I left the room, I asked in a low voice: "Mr. Niu, who was that person just now..."
"Don't talk, just walk." Mr. Niu whispered, and then I remembered his previous instructions, telling me not to talk nonsense, because I am still alive and as long as I speak, my identity will be exposed.
I followed Mr. Niu outside. After walking for about forty minutes, we arrived at a strange platform.
The platform is very simple, a bit like an old-fashioned train station from decades ago. There is a sign on it, but I don't recognize the font on the sign.
Mr. Niu looked at the distance, then at his old-fashioned watch, and said, "Wait a minute, it should be here soon."
I was just about to ask what was coming, but a moment later, I saw light coming from the distance, and it turned out to be a subway train heading in my direction.
Mr. Niu whispered: "Take this train. The next stop is Xizhimen. Wu Min should have taken your friends there to wait for you. Remember, no matter what they ask, don't tell them that you are in the underground palace."
When you see me and that purple ghost, you just say that Little Tutu was always taking you, then you got in the car and went back, you know?"
I didn't dare to speak easily and nodded quickly. It seemed that the identity of the purple ghost was too mysterious.
Then the train came into the station, and it was still a red train. I could almost feel that the train had just rushed up from a pool full of blood.
After arriving at the station, the door opened, I nodded to Mr. Niu, and walked onto the train holding a lantern.
The moment the train door closed, I suddenly felt a shock, and I felt a tearing feeling in my internal organs!
