Han Chang tried his best to visit all the places where he could get information. He and Xie Zhe just walked in the general direction pointed by an old lady. Sometimes they wanted to go faster, so they just walked.
It seemed that Wenying was really running ahead, and as long as they kept up with her speed, they could catch up with her. Sometimes they wanted to walk slower, but if they were careless for a moment, Wenying would hide in a corner around them.
However, after a little time, the two of them also sorted out a clue. The first and most important thing is the trace: Wenying's aura cannot be found in the entire town, and almost no one has seen her. The latter is very good
I understand, monsters don’t follow the usual path, and it’s easy for people to ignore them.
Depending on their existence. But what about the aura? How to explain the disappearance of the aura? Even if Wenying deliberately restrained her demonic aura, her smell would still not be diluted. Although there are many ways to deal with the aura, the key points are very clear: Then
Someone just has to do it deliberately.
If according to what the old lady said, Wenying chased a figure who looked like Wenjiu on a whim, she would not have deliberately prepared herself in this way. The most important thing is that Hanshang also did not smell the scent of Wenjiu.
.
First of all, there is a question that urgently needs to be answered: Is the figure Yingying saw warm wine?
Since she also suddenly saw that figure instead of detecting the smell, it means that "that person" must have made some disguise. Herbs or spells can easily do it. All previous discussions were based on the fact that he "is
"Based on this, then from another perspective, what if he is not?
Two possibilities: First, Wenying recognized the wrong person.
This was the idea that the two of them rejected the quickest. She knew Wenjiu very well, and even though she hadn’t seen each other for many years, she wouldn’t admit her mistake so easily. She had such a big reaction after just a glimpse in the crowd, which showed that she was very sure. Before
She was walking on the road with them, and maybe countless faces similar to Wenjiu appeared in the crowd. Why did she never admit her mistake, but when they were not there...
That is the second possibility: someone is pretending to be warm wine.
As for who it is and what its motives are, it’s hard to say. But the biggest suspect is so sure...
"But if Liar wants to find us, why bother to trick Yingying?"
Sitting at the tea table, Xie Zhe sighed and said. He and Han Zhang were in a bad state these past few days. First, Mrs. Jiaomo left without saying goodbye, and then asked Ying. This happened not once or twice -
—Moving forward, Xue Miyin and Ye Lingquan left one after another, which was a big blow to them. The reasons for these four departures were all different. Because of this, they could not get used to it or accept it.
.
"I don't know, but he never really found us. Is it intentional?"
Han Chang's face looked very bad, and his condition was worse than Xie Zhe's. After all, it was his biological sister who was missing.
"This is really..." Xie Zhe tightened his grip on the teacup slightly, "As long as you lie, we will be the only ones who suffer. It would be better to say that among the ten evil angels, none of them are innocent."
"I don't know. Do you know? Xie Zhe," Han Shangyang called his name, "I am always afraid. I don't know what will happen next moment. This feeling of constant panic, I never
Never before."
"I see."
"You don't understand, I mean, maybe one day you will disappear too - no matter what reason and form, no matter what reasons and excuses you give me."
Xie Zhe looked at his dark eyes and couldn't answer for a moment. Should he say that he understood this feeling? He really didn't know. The more anxious this moment was, the more unexpectedly calm he became. Sometimes
, he also felt that he was unhuman. In comparison, Hanshang was more like a living person, a humane person. He couldn't help but start to worry that everything he said in lies was true. Even if it wasn't, it should be.
.
"I have been losing things all my life," Han Chang said quietly, "My mother, my father, my brother, my friends, and then my sister... Even if I am just sitting here, what?
I haven’t done anything, and something will leave me somewhere. But time keeps disappearing, and I haven’t done anything now. I feel an indescribable fear - it’s blaming me, blaming me for not doing anything.
Do."
"You need to rest..." Xie Zhe knew that he was talking nonsense, but he continued, "Only when your body and spirit get better first, can you be able to find her and them."
When he said this, why didn't he feel sad in his heart? Growing up, he had never felt sorry for anyone. The one he felt most sorry for was probably Ling Hu, who was least able to protect himself. She was very brave, but... too
Reckless. But is she to blame? Is it wrong to be brave? Is it true that if you take risks and sacrifice for someone important to you, you are doomed to fail?
In the final analysis, he still lacks ability.
For some reason, the store became completely quiet. Everything was eerily quiet, as if there was no living thing. It took them a long time to realize this, because they had been immersed in their own world for too long... This is understandable.
When silence is too quiet, silence becomes harsh.
They looked out the window, and they didn't know when it would get dark. It was so sudden. Although it was afternoon when they sat here, it was far from the time when the sun set. It was like a dream, you don't know when you will come
, and I don’t know why it is here.
The two stood up at the same time, and their dominant hand touched the hilt of the sword.
"What is it?"
"I don't know, but it must be a monster."
Because your mood is too low, did you give the monster a chance to sneak in?
"You're not going to take action against the old man, are you?"
A female voice—a familiar female voice. At that moment, Xie Zhe felt relaxed, and so did Han Shan. Their hands left their weapons, and their eyes were still searching around. The store was empty, and they didn’t know when they left.
Yes, half of the food was left. But the store was bright, and although there were no lights on, it was as clear as day.
While their eyes were still moving in the lobby, an indescribable shadow slowly poked out of the darkened window behind them. It was like the testing front paws of a beast, like the outstretched branches of a tree. It was changing silently, testing.
Then, they quietly flowed onto the table. It - they lightly bypassed the tableware and water stains on the table until they completely fell to the ground, allowing their complete selves to be spliced together.
Then, it stood up.
Guixiangu gently patted the shoulders of the two of them. As expected, the two of them made defensive movements at the same time.
"Don't scare us...it would be too disrespectful if we really attack you."
"Hahahaha, you can try it."
"Fortunately, I was prepared so I didn't actually draw my sword," Han Chang said, shaking his head, "Seriously, you should be more careful."
"I deserve to be chopped out by you guys. Ah... maybe I should be wary of Fengyun Slash."
The two invited Guixiangu to take a seat and then sat back down. When they saw her, they felt an indescribable kindness, as if with her appearance, many problems would be solved. But at the same time, they also felt a little uneasy. After all, it was okay.
When the time comes, Guixiangu will never come to them to reminisce about old times.
"Did you come to us specifically, or did you just happen to be passing by?" Xie Zhe asked seriously.
"I'm going to such great lengths not just to tease you."
She laughed, not knowing what the expression in her eyes that were blocked by her front hair was like. That uneasiness was indeed coming true: although the ghost fairy would really scare someone just to play a prank, this time, she used the shadow to block everything and everyone.
Contact with the outside world. She created a new barrier, replicating the original landscaping to isolate the real external objects.
"There is absolutely no contact with the real world here, but...although, we are still in the real world."
Her voice was still lazy, and they couldn't guess her purpose.
"Then you want to..."
"I'm looking for your help." Guixiangu said, "Of course, I will be paid."
Han Sang sighed deeply and said: "It's not that we don't want to help you, it's that we... are also troubled with trivial matters now. Perhaps you have noticed that there are only two of us here. In the past, we always traveled together as four people.
Now friends are leaving one after another. Now, my sister is also missing. Maybe... you can provide information about them? "
Han Chang's question didn't seem to have much hope, but he was still somewhat hopeful. Xie Zhe also looked at Guixiangu, her appearance was still so pale, so white that she seemed to be shining against the windows filled with black shadows.
.
"I may be able to provide information about someone, but I can't tell you now..."
"Why?" Han Chang didn't understand.
But Xie Zhe knew that some things, according to ordinary people's saying, "will not work if you say it". He hesitated for a while and had no choice but to explain to Han Shang:
"The so-called secret cannot be leaked."
"Shen Shen Nao Nao." Han Chang commented, "I don't know if she is my sister, but... if we can really find traces of her, please tell me first what exactly needs us to do."
"About an evil angel—the evil angel who killed."
The two of them were in a trance for a while.
"Maple...we haven't heard his name for a long time."
"But that doesn't mean he doesn't exist. My friends... you have to know what he did on the border. Now that the national treasury is empty, all the money has been pushed to the front line for fighting, and then it has been exploited by corrupt officials - right now
The world is crumbling like a storm. On the surface, everything is calm, but no one knows what else the imperial court can do if something unexpected happens again."
"Don't you...want us to go to the front line?" Xie Zhe frowned, "This is a joke. Although serving the country with loyalty is the order of a patriot, although we can wield swords and swords, we are not defending the frontier.
What a great player."
"Don't worry. He's back...I and some Impermanent Ghosts have made some efforts to make some changes in the situation. These things are not important, you don't need to worry about it. Now that the Evil Angel of Killing has returned to the Central Plains, his power has become the same as that of the Central Plains.
The past is very different. We can no longer stop him, because the people who can stop him are not here."
Han Chang asked tentatively: "Could it be that...you think we just--"
"Of course, of course you can't. Hahahaha... Please forgive me, if I say more, these things will not be effective. Although you can't defeat him, what you can do is far more than you think.
You probably don't know how terrifying he is now. But you have the weapons to fight him, you just need to hold on for a while."
"Hold on?"
"For a while?"
How to hold it up? Why to hold it up? How long to hold it up?
These questions were clearly written on their faces, but Guixiangu smiled and did not answer them.
