Repeated questions made Jiao Mo finally waver. She had to admit that there was some deceptive element in this language. The tone was soft and gentle, as if it contained some questioning elements, but not entirely. It was more.
There was an indescribable inducement that really aroused her doubts.
"So, who are you?" she asked, as the other party wished.
So the owner of the voice finally showed up. His appearance was so quiet, like a flower blooming silently in the dark night. He suddenly appeared behind Jiao Mo, walking lighter than a cat. Jiao Mo couldn't hear it.
There was no sound, but she smelled a faint fragrance. She turned around suddenly, and what she faced was an unfamiliar face.
She instinctively took a step back.
"Who are you……?"
"You have been traveling in the world for ten years, and you really have never heard of my name?"
The man smiles, as sweet as if he could squeeze out honey, but it is difficult to tell whether there is arsenic in it. His face tends to be neutral, with a different kind of beauty that transcends gender. The difference between men and women no longer exists with him.
Important. That black hair
As if born from the dark night, black lines spread on the scorching red clothes, like fire struggling to survive from the abyss. There are golden rings of three suns and moons in his pupils, and there is a mole beside his eyes. If the moonlight is not bright tonight,
It's really hard to spot the white foam.
A name vaguely appeared in her mind.
"Hongxuan Long Night?"
"Should I praise you for being smart? Or should I blame you for being stupid? You pick one."
He must be Lord Xueyue. A different kind of unhappiness appeared in Jiaomo's heart, and of course... some kind of fear. She had heard of Lord Xueyue, and she also knew how much he had done in the world of human beings.
Things that can be called evil in the eyes
.Although the raging plague and the proliferation of puppets this year seem to have nothing to do with him, he is secretly planning some tricks. Dealing with the Ten Evils is enough to give his colleagues a headache, could it be said that he is going to add fuel to the fire?
Can't get enough oil?
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you right now." Jiao Mo was panicking and said with a forced smile on his face, "I hope we just met by chance. You must have your own work, and I also have a way to go. How about we,
Let’s just say goodbye.”
Before Jiao Mo could take a step forward, Lord Xueyue spoke again:
"What if I said, I'm here for you?"
Jiao Mo only felt that something was very wrong.
Although the moon was not full enough, its light was more dazzling than before. But even such a bright moonlight could not dispel the growing gloom in her heart. She wanted to escape from here, but at the same time she knew very well that she had nowhere to escape.
Having been at peace with all forces for so many years...why on earth did he become the target of Lord Kuchtsuki?
I don’t know and I don’t dare to think about it.
"What are you doing?"
There is no other way, just ask. She knows that according to rumors, Lord Xueyue is a maniac with unpredictable moods. If he offends him, it may not do anything good. Sometimes, normal people have to follow the ideas of a madman to avoid trouble, no matter who
I don’t know what the madman’s true thoughts are.
Having said that, do madmen really have "ideas"?
"Without further ado, let's get straight to the point. I didn't come to you just to chat in the wilderness." He shrugged, tilted his head lazily, spread his hands and said, "I know your business and your last name.
Who is the name and where does it come from? In the past ten years, maybe you know
You know me, but you have never really met me - today is the first time. I don't look at you all the time, but... I do pay attention to you. I can also see that your face is stained by resentment.
Injury, Wuyonglan can easily trace your footsteps."
Jiao Mo subconsciously touched her cheek and touched the imperceptible crack. Lord Xueyue had never appeared beside her, at least she had never noticed his breath, but why did he know everything? This is the Six Paths
Wu Chang's intelligence ability? But even among the Zao Wu Chang that Jiao Mo knew, none was like him. The unspeakable fear worsened, but she remained calm.
"You came to me specifically just to tell me how much you care about me, right?" Jiao Mo guessed that his smile must be ugly, "If that's the case, then I can't thank you enough. Or, you and I
Are those hunters the same, who kill for the shark's tears, shark's silk, and shark's oil?"
Lord Xueyue suddenly laughed, and his laughter was extremely unrestrained. This uninhibited laughter exploded like thunder in the quiet night, causing Jiaomo to retreat again, and further distanced the two of them. But she had no intention of running away.
, because she knew she couldn't escape. The laughter was so wild and brisk, and its sharpness further blurred the gender of the owner of the voice.
"Cough, cough cough cough..." He actually choked with laughter, "You are much more interesting than I thought, you really know how to joke. Hahaha, hahahahaha... cough cough——"
Oh my god, he almost vomited out. Jiao Mo was even thinking about it, shouldn't he be worried about him having problems with his laughter?
"Okay, that's enough for the joke." He suddenly stopped his expression, as if he hadn't laughed just now. At this moment, Jiao Mo was surprised again: Could it be that these are all his acting skills? If so,
This person was too easy to control. In any case, she realized more clearly that the person in front of her... no, this monster, this impermanent ghost was not normal.
"If I said I was here to help you, would you believe me?"
Jiao Mo almost blurted out: "Do you think I believe it?"
"There are not many people who dare to ask me questions like you. I'm starting to like you a little bit!" A smile appeared on the corners of Kuchtsuki-kun's lips again, "In this case, it would be inappropriate for me to say nothing. In order to show my sincerity
, let me take the initiative!"
"...?" Jiao Mo couldn't understand him at all, and couldn't even pretend.
"As for your other friends, I'm sorry that my ability is limited and I can't help that much. However, I do know some methods on how to eliminate the marks left by resentment. After you listen, if there is a chance to reunite with your old friend, maybe
How about telling him? Are you interested?"
Jiao Mo's eyes were full of doubts, but she still said: "I would like to hear the details."
Lord Xueyue stretched out three fingers: "There are three ways. The simplest is to destroy the weapon at the source. But this is not an easy task. After all, resentment is in the hands of the evil messenger of lies, so it is difficult to take it, right? And?
Even if you get it, how to destroy the treasure left behind by Fu Songfeng is not an easy task - and it's a pity, you think so too, right?"
"Well……"
"Ah, speaking of which, did I give this to him? I don't remember."
Jiao Mo felt his eyelids twitch.
"Well, this thing is a good match for him. I'm afraid I have to find another way. Then the second option is that you hide it in a place where hunters can't hunt you. To be honest, the ability of resentment, even if you escape to
There are traces to follow even to the ends of the earth. Even if it travels across the Six Paths and goes to other realms, it can still find clues. Only
If you are willing to lie, it is only a matter of time before you are found. But hiding in those dark places, no matter how hard it is, you can escape from most pursuers, right? At least this aspect is as you wish, and he will never lay anything for you.
It’s all money. Do you want to consider it? I can recommend some shelters.”
Jiao Mo's face stiffened with a smile: "No need...it doesn't bother you."
"Yes, it might be safer if you just go back to the sea. He's not interested in you anyway, right? It depends on whether you dare to gamble. But you must care about the life and death of your companions, right? Leave them behind at the critical moment.
Putting them in a dangerous situation, it doesn't sound good to speak out. Or are you really willing to bear such a reputation? It would be too ugly to go back now."
After he finished speaking, Jiaomo felt a headache. Lord Xueyue was too sharp-tongued, and she couldn't get a word in or answer the question. To be honest, she had no choice but to make this move, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to
I wish to be separated from Xie Zhe and the others.
"I really can't go back to the sea. Please stop making fun of me."
"Eh? I don't think I said that." Lord Kutsutsuki said suddenly.
"What do you mean...?"
"You know that a shark can turn into a yaksha. If such a thing happens, there will be no way to change back. But the transformation between a shark and a human can be realized through the power of the orb. In other words, this
It is possible, as long as you have similar strength. Even if you saw off your own tail fin with a shuttle, there will be a way to restore it."
Jiao Mo had to admit that he was persuaded.
Kuchtsuki-kun's words were very casual, but each word passed over her heart with precision, just like a dragonfly's tip. Over the years, although she had not deliberately searched for a way to transform back into a shark, it was not that she had not thought about it.
Such a possibility. If she is old and is lucky enough to be able to transform into a mermaid, is it possible?
Can she easily peel off this layer of years and be reborn like a phoenix? She can smooth out the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, let her withered limbs be filled with youth again, and be as flexible as a high-spirited young woman - and then jump back
Go to the sea, be as free and unfettered as you were a few decades ago, and enjoy your hometown?
Of course, this is just a dream. She has long regarded all this as a beautiful fantasy, and is convinced that she can lead the decline of mankind correctly. She is ready to wake up, just like a cicada that has been dormant underground for years or even decades...
As long as you decide to leave the land and climb a tall tree trunk, even if you can only sing one song for the rest of your life, you will not hesitate.
If possible...the body still hopes to return to the ocean.
It doesn't matter if you can't go back. That's what she told herself.
But, but...
Now Lord Xueyue has provided such a possibility: What if she can not only go back, but also don't have to die?
It's hard to say whether Jiao Mo underestimated her desire to live or overestimated her desire to die. But no matter which way she was, she was a sinless person. As a human being, she instinctively pursues her heart's desires.
Isn’t it unreasonable not to hurt others?
Both she and he knew that this game of chess was completely controlled by Lord Kouchue.
"Actually, this is the third way I mentioned. You can... change back and return to your origin. In this way, lies can no longer trace you, and you don't have to think about what happened on the shore. Of course
, I know you are not such a person. Although it is very tempting, you will still refuse it, right? But what I want to talk about is not this method, but - a place that can provide this method. Have you heard of,
You even... visited."
"The Death Shadow Pavilion."
All the foreshadowing points to this only possibility. These three words are as if Lord Xueyue had written them in Jiao Mo's mind in advance.
"Yes, Death Shadow Pavilion... I am an old acquaintance with the real Pavilion Master. She will not make things difficult for you. Don't worry, she will never covet your identity as a shark. She has many rare items from your tribe.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, she didn’t do it, it’s just some necessary trading tools, although saying this will cause you discomfort..."
"What on earth are you going to say?" Sure enough.
"Don't worry, my friend... this is really a good place, you must have experienced it. No matter what, there are dragons and phoenixes hidden in the Death Shadow Pavilion, and with an ointment that can really erase the scars of resentment - maybe it won't be difficult.
