Chapter 82 Yu Mei(1/2)
It's night.
Water Moon Temple.
The shrine was dark and empty, there was no god or Buddha, only a huge shadow lingered on the altar.
The light was dim and I couldn't see the shape clearly.
"Where is the Sophora Demon?"
A hoarse voice belonging to an older woman sounded from the shadows.
The official was crouching down in the hall, not facing the domineering behavior of "Captain Xing". He was like a chicken that had just hatched, burying his face in the floor tiles and not daring to move.
"My child did something wrong and let Yu Mei escape, but..."
The voice was not interested in hearing his explanation.
"Where are the two Bo Ziyus?"
Zaoli trembled all over and buried his face deeper.
"died."
There was silence in the darkness for a moment.
The voice suddenly laughed.
Zaoli still didn't dare to raise his head, but he heard the laughter getting closer and closer, almost touching the back of his neck.
He was already limp and turned into a puddle of mud. He didn't dare to move. Only two rows of teeth trembled and collided unconsciously.
finally.
"That's all."
The laughter suddenly stopped again, and the voice returned to the altar.
"At least it was given by Master Yu himself, so it's inevitable that he has some magical powers."
"Let's just make a note of it this time so that we can work better in the future."
The officials seemed to be pardoned, but they became bolder.
"What about eyebrows?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a piece of cake. After the Dionysus Festival, everything will be in your hands!"
"Back off."
Zaoli didn't dare to stay, so he hunched over and stepped back.
When the door opens and closes.
Just in time the rain has dispersed.
The moonlight shines coldly into the shrine.
The outline of the shadow turned out to be a huge butterfly.
Being swayed by the moonlight, the butterfly's wings reflected little bits of light, like the Milky Way upside down, like the wings of a man in the sky.
It's the Hundred Fantasy Butterfly.
But what is different from before is that at this time, there is actually a human face embedded in the head of Bai Huan Die, an old female face, a face that is no different from Yu Mei.
There was a strange expression on his face.
The upper half of the face was empty and dull, but the lower half had a faint smile, and he even said:
"You have fallen into a trap, not to mention breaking out of the encirclement, but can you still overturn my carefully arranged back-up plan? Yu Zhenren, Yu Zhenren, it seems that we are still not honest enough. I need your illusion to survive, and you also need me to maintain it.
Illusion, we can both benefit from working together, so why are you struggling needlessly?"
Laughter echoed in the dark temple.
Yu Mei's empty eyes seemed to have a sparkle.
But it quickly disappeared.
Turn into a line of blood and tears
Flow along the wrinkles.
…………
When Yu Mei wakes up from her slumber.
I found myself at the bottom of a huge circular well-shaped building, with spiral upward passages carved into the surrounding stone walls.
Yu Mei recognized this place.
Or say.
Everyone who has been to Xiaoshui should recognize this place.
This is the Dionysian kiln.
only.
Why am I here?
I was in a daze for a moment.
She immediately remembered that she had been ordered to investigate a demon insurrection in Xiaoshui, but there had been no news from her boss who was also her contact person. Until tonight, a message suddenly arrived, ordering her to assassinate a man somewhere before midnight tonight.
The child who is about to be demonized.
Time is urgent.
No preparation time at all.
When she arrived in a hurry, she didn't expect it to be a trap.
Has the connector rebelled? Or is he controlled by a demon?
Yu Mei's face turned serious.
Both of these possibilities could actually mean only one thing, that she was in danger and on her own.
But.
Why are you in the Dionysian Kiln?
The aftereffects of poisoning made the brain a little sluggish, so after thinking hard, the fragments of memory were pieced together.
She remembered.
The night was raining heavily, and there were loud sounds of killing. I risked being pierced by thousands of arrows and climbed up to look around, and finally I glimpsed a gap in the tight siege and found a glimmer of hope.
But when he really broke through the siege and escaped into a street, he found that the road ahead was littered with corpses, both human and monster. And above the corpses, stood a swordsman in a coir raincoat...
"you're awake?"
Yu Mei looked back in horror.
Only then did she realize that the man in coir raincoat in her memory was squatting next to her.
Her hands subconsciously touched her waist, but found nothing.
"Are you looking for this?"
The other party handed over a sheathed dagger.
Without thinking, Yu Mei reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword. Immediately, a bright sword light burst out and smeared towards the man in raincoat.
But the coir raincoat guest had already withdrawn.
Yu Mei raised his sword and pursued without hesitation.
Regardless of whether the other party has good intentions or bad intentions, as a secret agent of the Department of Finance, controlling him first is obviously the first choice.
However.
Maybe it was the injury that dragged him down, or maybe the opponent just dodged, but Yu Mei attacked with more than ten swords in a row, but he didn't even hurt the opponent's clothes. On the contrary, he was injured himself, and his eyes were filled with stars.
At first glance, it looks like a novice wielding a sword is being toyed with by an experienced swordsman.
Knowing that nothing could be done, Yu Mei immediately defended herself with her sword. The opponent did not pursue him, but just smiled and said:
"The owner of Tangtang Jietian Building, the Town and Fu Division inspected Yu Mei, is this how you thank your savior?"
The landlord of Jietian?
what?
Although Yu Mei didn't know what the other party was talking about, an inexplicable sense of shame filled her heart.
This feeling was quickly suppressed by her, and she became even more strange, or even more wary. Why did the other party know her identity, and why did he want to save her?
"Who are you?"
Such a simple question elicited a long silence.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yi Ke came up with a question that was as incomprehensible and irrelevant as "The Master of Jie Tian Lou".
To be continued...
