Chapter 33: The Fifth Shadow of the Primordial God!
In order to make an unobtrusive exception, Yingya hurriedly raised his glass to toast.
Looking at his somewhat rude sister, Lei Dengzhen couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, my sister is still as stubborn as ever..."
The brand-new candles left long wax marks, and the banquet had come to an end.
Most of the officials and soldiers around him were already a little drunk, and their words became irritable and began to speak arrogantly.
Either bragging or teasing each other, these are common things in a drinking party, and Xuan Jie did not feel any resentment about it.
But he found that Ah Cai, who usually loved to eat, was particularly downcast today. It was obvious that it wasn't just the incident with the girl that was bothering her.
"I...I'm full, you can enjoy it slowly."
He stood up and said goodbye, then walked slowly outside the house.
The steps were shining brightly under the moonlight, which did not look like a dark night scene at all.
But the figure stretched by the moonlight was so...lonely and sad.
Frowning, Xuan Jie immediately stood up and followed him.
"Huh? Has Xuan Jie left too... It seems like they have some clue about the demons who came to attack today."
After saying that, I glanced at my sister out of habit and found that she was eating a lot of food, which was not her usual appearance at all.
Um...is she really that hungry today?
Arriving at a garden, A Cai was lying on the railing, staring at the sky alone in a daze.
"What are you thinking about? If you are troubled by something, you might as well talk to me."
Xuan Jie's sudden arrival did not frighten A Cai, who was looking attentive, because she had already expected that he would follow him.
"Are you curious about what kind of monsters appeared on that Blood Shadow Island?"
Without waiting for a reply, she turned around and walked towards Xuan Jie.
"I really shouldn't have escaped last time. If I had followed you, I might have been able to prevent the accident from happening in time."
Although these sentences were a bit convoluted, Xuan Jie could understand that they were related to Blood Shadow Island, so he immediately asked:
"Is there really something on Blood Shadow Island? Look at you...it's not simple!"
Xuan Jie asked in a very solemn voice, because this matter must be taken seriously, and many areas may suffer from this.
"Yes, it is indeed not simple," A Cai turned her head, looked at Xuan Jie solemnly and told all the past events.
"The reason why I fell asleep back then was because of it... Now that I wake up again, you will definitely come to settle accounts with me."
Ah Cai's expression was very nervous, and it could be seen that she was not afraid of it at all.
Walking over and rubbing her head, Xuan Jie replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you be harmed no matter what. If you want to do something to my traveling companion, you have to go through me."
close."
Xuanjie...Oh, you don't even know how powerful it is!
"Let's forget it. I don't know how strong it is, and... what countermeasures will they have against this?"
After whispering, A Cai raised her head and looked at the sky again until her shoulders were held down by Xuan Jie.
"Please believe me, no matter how strong the opponent is, I will stand in front of you and never give up."
The righteous voice made A Cai fall into thoughts for a moment.
The long-term negotiations between them have made the two of them understand each other deeply, so A Cai firmly believes in these words.
"I...I know, and I will tell you about it. As for its identity...you will know it by going to Blood Shadow Island.
If it really is it, it will definitely come out to see us."
The bright moonlight shines in the garden, and the swaying shadows of the flowers make the night scene even more grand.
It's a pity that the people in the garden are not enjoying the scenery, and the shadows under the moonlight look so desolate.
According to A Cai's story, if it is really consistent with what she thought, then the person suppressed by Blood Shadow Island was one of the original five shadows.
These five shadows all belong to the original god Phanes, but during the melee one of them fell into a daze and actually openly wielded his sword against Istaru, the ruler of time.
"I don't know the specific reason, but I am sure that it fell into obsession, and then was eroded by the power of the abyss, and then magnified the obsession countless times!"
Obsession...What kind of obsession does the shadow of the original god have?
Later, because of something he did, A Cai was hunted down by the God of Death at all costs.
In the end, it was the Second Throne Tenri who reached out to help and took A Cai in, who fell into a coma.
What followed was the encounter in Liyue some time ago, some of which she did not explain clearly. Xuanjie did not ask questions because she was in a very wrong state.
"After sleeping for so long, you must have been seriously injured... No wonder you are so afraid of this breath."
"Yes," Ah Cai nodded, her lowered eyes full of sadness.
"If I hadn't deceived myself last time and went to investigate in person, things wouldn't have developed to the point where they are today. If it were true, the world would be in chaos!"
She was lying on the railing, probably crying soon, and Xuanjie could even hear the obvious sobbing sound.
"Okay, no matter what, I have to go there, for Bai Xuan, for you, and for human beings to be protected from that kind of monster.
Besides...this world is already chaotic enough, can its appearance turn the world upside down?"
After hearing Xuan Jie's voice, A Cai couldn't hold back the tears on her face, so she lay on his chest and started crying.
"...Why don't we make a big fuss here at this late hour? It's the end of the world if people misunderstand us."
Haha...it's great to meet you, Ajie...
The next day, Xuanjie entered the castle tower to meet Raiden Shin, saying that he wanted to travel far to investigate the devil's affairs.
"I may not come back in the near future. The situation outside is complicated now. I suggest Inazuma not to go on an expedition yet, but to build up defense and follow-up measures as a whole to avoid being caught off guard."
Lei Deng really knew that he was going to Blood Shadow Island, so he stepped forward and asked doubtfully:
"Since you know that it is a dangerous place, the reaction of ordinary people would be to avoid it, so why do you rush there?"
Yes, when you know there is danger there, your first reaction should be to stay away. It would be a little too weird to go there specifically.
But this theory is for those who are involved in the world and have ties to it. Xuanjie has no worries. For him, compared to the danger...the truth there is more concerning.
Because in his previous memory, he had never heard of the name of this god of death.
Nowadays, there are many things involved, and the only way to unravel the confusion is to find out.
"The truth is somewhat unclear, but if no one walks in front to explore the danger, the truth will always be obscured by fog."
Now that the demon army has been dispatched, greater losses can be avoided only by understanding the reasons behind it.
Lei Dian really understands this truth. She cannot hold the whole world in her heart, but she will not stop Xuan Jie's decision.
[Author's digression]: The fifth shadow is the world view setting changed by the author, and the plot will be developed based on this.
