"How's it going? Can you hear what those two people are saying?" Everyone outside the garden looked inside. Hyena and Fengcai turned their heads to the side and stretched their heads as far in as possible.
"No, there is some force blocking the sound waves." Fengcai looked regretful.
"What are these two going to say? They kicked us out, so mysteriously." Thirty-three looked unhappy.
"Since we are asked to avoid it, there must be something important, right?" Wu Jian looked helpless as he saw the hyena almost half of its body entering the garden, "Let's not get involved."
Upon hearing this, the hyena also pulled out of the garden, straightened his clothes, and then walked up to Wu Jian.
"I said, Xiao Wu, this is because you don't have enough experience in life." Hyena looked mature and prudent, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Huh? How do you say this?" Wu Jian looked confused.
"Based on my experience, I think Ran Kong, who has such a boring temperament, came all the way to see Jiutian this time. There can only be two reasons." The hyena smiled, and he tried hard to make himself look like
He is like a life mentor, but in the eyes of others, he looks wretched.
"Which two?" Only Wu Jian with a simple temperament would follow the hyena's words and ask.
"Either this girl has just started to have a love affair and suddenly has a secret feeling for Jiutian, and now she can't help but take this opportunity to express her feelings; or the two of them have been having an affair for a long time." The hyena clasped his hands and looked at the sky.
It's like seeing through the clouds and smoke in the world.
Wu Jian suddenly felt that he was a bit like 250. For a moment, he actually thought that the hyena could really say something nutritious.
Thirty-three couldn't listen anymore and kicked the hyena on the butt.
"If you have time to think about this, why not just retire and go home to raise pigs."
The noise outside the garden did not affect the conversation between Jiutian and the two. In fact, the moment Ran Kong opened his mouth, the surrounding space was already wrapped in spiritual power.
After hearing the words of the girl in front of him, Jiutian remained calm on the surface, but there was still some turmoil in his heart.
"How did you know?" He was a little curious. Originally, only two people on the entire earth knew about this matter, but now there is one more person named Ran Kong.
Jiutian thought he had hidden it well, but this man who transcended common sense still gave him a surprise.
"I can feel that you are being eaten away." Ran Kong said, "I can feel it even before I get close to this garden."
"That is a kind of power that I have never seen before, and it even transcends this dimension. I try to understand it, but it is very difficult." Ran Kong stared at Jiutian, wanting to see what he would say.
Jiutian also looked at her, thought for a moment, and then lifted his right cheek, which was covered by his long hair.
Ran Kong's pupils shrank.
"Did you see it?" Jiutian showed his neck to Ran Kong, "This is the 'materialization' of the power you mentioned."
On Jiutian's skin exposed outside of clothes, Ran Kong could clearly see the black lines spreading on the surface of his skin like branches.
Those lines are thick and thin, like the strokes of a paintbrush, constantly outlining patterns on Jiutian's body.
Even at certain moments, Ran Kong saw the black lines "squirming".
"What is this?" Ran Kong was sure the moment he saw this thing that it was the source of Jiutian.
"I haven't fully understood it yet." Jiutian let down his hair and covered his cheeks again, "You can understand it as a power that can...'replace' me."
"Compared with the word 'cannibalization' you said, the word 'replacement' is actually more accurate."
"Replace?" Ran Kong didn't understand what Jiutian said for the first time, "You mean, the purpose of it cannibalizing you is to replace you?"
"It's easy to talk to smart people." Jiutian smiled, but there was no positive emotion in that smile.
Ran Kong lowered his eyes, then raised them again, stretching out his hand towards Jiutian.
"Do you mind?"
Jiutian was startled, touched his chin, and understood what the girl meant, so he stretched out his hand that had been deliberately hidden in his clothes, put it on Ran Kong's palm and let her hold it.
"Holy shit!" Fengcai outside the garden couldn't help shouting.
"They are holding hands!"
"What?!" The hyena jumped three feet high, "What did I say! What did I say! There must be something fishy between these two!"
"No way?" Thirty-three hurriedly walked over, crossed the gate and looked inside. Even Zhuo Lei couldn't hold back and cast his gaze on the two people not far away.
Only Feiya, who was standing aside, looked at the two people in the garden with a hint of worry on their expressions.
Of course, the reality is not as ambiguous as the hyenas and others thought. Ran Kong's back was turned to everyone, so no one could see how shocked she looked at this moment.
Then the shock turned into speechlessness.
"How long?" Ran Kong let go of Jiutian's hand.
The secret power that had sneaked into Jiutian's body was assimilated instantly as soon as it came into contact with that power. It seemed that it was devoured and in turn became the opponent's nourishment.
After feeling this, Ran Kong did not dare to send too much power into Jiutian's body, otherwise it would very likely lead to the deterioration of his physical condition.
The warm feeling brought by the fire attribute faded from his fingers. When the meridians were wrapped by the scorching power, for a moment, Jiutian felt a long-lost sense of comfort.
"It's been almost two years, right?" Jiutian recalled.
"Is it related to your loss of control?" Ran Kong also heard about Jiutian's rampage after the war.
"Almost." Jiutian nodded.
"What exactly happened that day?" Ran Kong asked.
"It's my own problem." Jiutian hesitated for a moment and almost revealed the existence of Mitian.
When he was still weak, he didn't dare to reveal that he had something like this in his body, otherwise this power from the abyss would be enough to cause widespread panic, and he would definitely not be able to protect himself at that time.
And after Jiutian became one of the strongest men on the entire earth, he felt that there was no need to tell this matter because it was unlikely that anyone could help him.
But Ran Kong was different. Her talent in evolution amazed everyone, and her adaptability and understanding of various powers surpassed everyone at the same time. Therefore, when she saw that something was wrong with Jiutian, Jiutian did not reject her offer.
Further requests.
How should I talk about what happened to me?
It's hard for Jiutian himself to forget the day he discovered such lines on his body.
Probably nearly two years ago, Jiutian returned the mechanical bracelet to Wen Xin and left alone.
After everything was over, he just felt exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to find a place to have a good sleep, or find a quiet place to daze.
Jiutian could barely identify the direction, and under the guidance of Xiao Qi, he flew towards a familiar place in a daze.
He really needed a break at that time, and after relying on his instincts to go through a long journey, when he came back to his senses, he had already returned to his hometown town.
He found the old home that had been evacuated, pieced together a simple bed using some cardboard boxes and other materials, and then fell asleep.
Although Jiutian was afraid of returning to that dreamland again after falling asleep, he was so tired that he felt like he would die if he didn't sleep again.
Fortunately, this time the dream was peaceful.
He dreamed of a gray girl and chatted with her for a long time.
Jiutian didn't know exactly how long he slept, but he gradually woke up when he smelled the familiar fragrance.
It's still the same simple bed, but the surrounding area is no longer empty, but there are some more furniture.
Feiya was sitting quietly next to him reading a book, but she smiled at him when she saw Jiutian woke up.
"Are you awake? It's been a week."
The familiar sounds of cooking, the clinking of iron pots and spoons, and the loud conversations of parents from time to time could be heard outside the door.
"Why are they back too?" Jiutian asked.
"I didn't find you, so I went back to find my uncle and aunt. The earth is now safe and they want to move back. I didn't expect to find you here." Feiya closed the book, "This is your childhood room?
"
Jiutian nodded.
"It's really shabby."
I ignored her for a long time.
"While you were sleeping, I checked your body a little."
Jiutian looked at her.
"You'd better look at your heart."
So, it took a long time to realize what happened to me.
It was as if a seed had been planted in his heart, and black branch-like tentacles began to stretch out from around it and began to spread towards the body.
Jiutian suddenly thought of something, and then "saw" his own soul. In that misty moonlight, there was also a trace of darkness.
The darkness was like a drop of ink in clear water, starting to smear all around.
"Metian?" Feiya asked.
Jiutian nodded.
He already roughly knew what happened after he fell into coma. The moment Jiutian's psychological defense collapsed due to Wen Yunyun's death, the restrictions on Mitian were also greatly weakened.
Before this, Jiutian already knew that the other black self could not be completely eliminated. He was his own dark side, hiding in the depths of his consciousness at any time, waiting for Jiutian's moment of weakness to backfire on him.
For another Jiutian, only by replacing the real Jiutian and living in this world on his behalf can his existence be valuable.
This is the foundation of his existence, so he will spare no effort to accomplish this.
He finally succeeded.
Taking advantage of Jiutian's sinking consciousness, he was able to take control of Jiutian's body and plant the "Miten" in his body that could gradually invade everything in Jiutian.
This is his old profession, invading everything, possessing everything, and destroying everything.
This is his instinct, and it is also the instinct of the abyss.
When the black lines completely spread to every inch of Jiutian's body, he will completely replace Jiutian and become a new life.
Jiutian looked at Ran Kong, and for the first time he saw a "confused" look on this girl's face.
He finally decided not to tell her.
Whether he dies or is replaced is his own business.
