Until the last trace of black mist on his body disappeared into nothingness with Hu Tao's fire element. Looking at the unknown humanoid object that had turned into charred ashes in front of him, Hu Tao stood in front of him and solemnly made a handprint representing the soul's death.
"May your soul rest in peace."
After doing this, Hu Tao turned around and looked at Zhong Ying, who looked a little strange.
"Hey, Zhong Ying."
"Ah?" Zhong Ying was startled by Hu Tao's sudden voice, "What's wrong? Hall Master?"
"Although I said I don't care about your previous background, there are still some things that must be clarified. This is a matter of principle. Can you understand?"
"Well, I can understand, Hall Master, just ask."
"Why didn't I see the Eye of God in this guy, but he used the power of the ice element? Is his situation common among fools?"
Zhong Ying shook her head.
"It's not common. In fact, the fools who can use elemental power are already considered elites, but they are not only elites, but also cannon fodder and consumables."
"They will use an uncomfortable breath to fuse with us. Many people will go crazy directly, but some people will adapt to it and gain the ability to use elemental power. Moreover, while fusing this power, they will also be equipped with
The next mark, this mark controls the lives of all the vanguard of Fools."
"Mark? I remember those guys just mentioned the mark on your body. Can you show it to me?"
Zhong Ying didn't speak, she just turned around in front of Hu Tao, squatted down, and lifted her hair behind her.
"Well, Zhong Ying, is your mark obvious?"
"Obviously, Master, I can see it even when I look in the mirror."
"But I didn't see anything?"
"What?"
Zhong Ying took out the soft sword from her body, shined the moonlight on the sword, and looked at the smooth and delicate back of her neck. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It took a long time to confirm that she was not dreaming.
Zhong Ying suddenly remembered the meaning of the actions and words Zhong Li made at the door of Liyue.
"I see, the karma that the young master asked the young lady to purify is the uncomfortable aura they made us merge with? Is that thing actually such a terrifying thing?"
Touching the smooth back of her neck, tears gradually fell from Zhong Ying's eyes. Hu Tao saw this and said anxiously.
"Oh, don't cry. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I won't ask. Don't cry!"
Zhong Ying raised her tearful face to look at Hu Tao, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "No, Hall Master, I'm just so happy."
"Why are you crying when you're happy? Hey, you scared me."
"Master, you don't know something. Although I was taken by Young Master before, and after getting along with everyone for a while, I also envied everyone's life, but the mark on my body always reminds me who I am, and now, the mark
It's finally gone and I'm finally free."
"That's hard to say." Hu Tao showed a smile, "You are now the funeral parlor girl of my Rebirth Hall. I won't let you run away. You just came out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again!"
Zhong Ying looked at her and smiled: "Don't worry, Hall Master, even if you drive me away, I won't leave."
"By the way, Zhong Ying, can you still use elemental power now?"
Zhong Ying shook her head: "Since the mark on my body disappeared, I can't feel the existence of elemental power at all."
"Well, in this case, according to my guess, the Fools should achieve the purpose of using elemental power by coexisting with evil spirits, but how do they do it? It's incredible."
"Forget it, let's go back. Those who are closest to life and death will eventually experience life and death, and those who play evil will eventually fall into the abyss. This is no longer something I should worry about..."
Bu Bu Lu, Qiqi and Zhong Mo stood at the door. Qiqi walked forward, opened the door, and looked back at Zhong Mo.
"Are you leaving?"
Zhong Mo touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Yes, it was actually Sister Zhong Ying who dragged me out. I didn't even know Qiqi at that time... But now Qiqi has returned safely to her home."
It’s time to go to Bu Lu, and it’s time for me to leave.”
"See you again?"
"Of course! I will come to Qiqi often to play in the future! Qiqi don't forget me then!"
Qiqi looked at Zhong Mo and said in a very serious tone.
"Qiqi, I will always be waiting for you to come back in Bubulu."
But at this time, Zhong Mo didn't realize the weight of this sentence. She just thought it was an ordinary farewell word between friends.
"I know! Qiqi, then I'll leave first!"
Qi Qi stood at the door and watched Zhong Mo go down the stairs until she was no longer visible, then she opened the door of Bu Bu Lu and walked in.
Zhong Mo walked down the steps and bumped into a figure. Looking carefully, he saw that it was Zhong Ying.
Zhong Mo sensitively discovered that Zhong Ying seemed to be a different person at this moment. The unyielding aura in her body had completely disappeared. At this moment, her whole body exuded an aura of vitality and freedom.
"Ah, it's Sister Zhong Ying."
"Miss, you should have successfully sent Qiqi back to the Hall of Purity, right?"
"Yeah, and Qiqi also said that I should come and play with her next time!"
"Huh, that's good, otherwise Mr. Bai Shu may have to complain to the Hall of Life again. Come on, let's go back."
Zhong Mo stretched out his hand, and Zhong Ying held her hand. The two of them strolled in the lotus pond under the moonlight, gradually drifting away.
Walking out of the door of the lotus pond, a girl suddenly rushed out from the blind spot of the door, making a grimace and uttering unknown syllables, scaring the two of them.
Zhong Ying just looked at Hu Tao expressionlessly and said helplessly: "Master, you are here again..."
Zhong Mo happily greeted Hu Tao: "Hello, sister Hu Tao!"
Seeing that they were not frightened at all, Hu Tao walked up to them.
"Oh, it's boring. You two should give me some reaction. I've been waiting for so long in vain, ugh."
Zhong Mo belatedly asked, "Ah? Sister Hutao, you're not going to arrest Qiqi, are you? As Qiqi's friend, Xiaomo won't let you do this!"
Hutao shook his head, remembering the tear that Qiqi had shed.
"No, I'm just waiting for you to return to the Hall of Purity together. After all, I am the hall master, and I need to ensure the safety of you two when you are out in the middle of the night."
"As for Qiqi, I won't attack her again until I figure something out. You can rest assured."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Zhong Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, because she knew that although Hu Tao was weird, she never lied to others.
