"Were you using Ah Ling's body at that time? Before I met you, I had been in contact..."
"It's Nangong Ling." Xiao Hei explained patiently, "I just possessed him, borrowed his body, and sometimes acted on his behalf, mostly during weapon refining and martial arts competitions."
Nangong Xun's face was filled with astonishment, as if he had remembered many things, "I see, it's no wonder it's like this."
He murmured a few words and smiled bitterly, "It turns out we have known each other for a long time."
"Ah Ling..." Nangong Xun's expression was complicated and a little confused.
Tang Ling thought he might have noticed something.
"Nangong Ling... committed suicide," the little gangster said.
"Suicide?" Nangong Xun was stunned, as if remembering the tragic situation of the Nangong family, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, "Why... did he commit suicide?"
"There are some things that I only fully learned after investigating after your death - you chose to come to Zhenchao Pass because you must also want to investigate some things. I borrowed Nangong Ling's body and will not tell you everything about him. The rest
You can investigate it yourself."
"As for saving you three times, it's not that my life is more valuable." Xiao Hei said, "I can give an explanation for this."
Nangong Xun felt that Xiao Hei had never said so many words to him in so many years of getting along with him.
It seems that they are really going to separate.
I don’t know how long it will be before we see each other again after this separation.
He immediately regained his composure and listened solemnly.
"The first time was to repay your machine tower for rescuing my body, and the other time was to repay Jue Qi. The last time I saved the city, I wanted to help Jue Qi, but unfortunately he died in the end. Jue Qi... while I was still in Nangong
Nangong Ling must be very grateful to me for helping him a lot when Ling was recovering from his illness, but he just doesn’t know how to repay him."
The little gangster said, "The last time, Jue Qi asked me to protect you before he died - I didn't agree, but since I couldn't protect Jue Qi, it doesn't hurt to give it to you once."
Yes, I have suffered a lot for this time.
Tang Ling thought to himself, it seemed so easy to say.
Finally, Xiao Hei took a deep look at Nangong Xun.
Nangong Xun felt that it seemed to have many, many more things it wanted to tell him, but in the end it turned around and disappeared without saying a word.
Perhaps, I understand that from now on, the interval between parting and meeting will no longer be a short three days or two days, or three years or five years.
But time has passed and the world has changed.
The words are so light and fluttering, they cannot withstand the test of thousands of years.
Don't make promises easily if you can't keep them.

"Nangong Xun, come out! I know you are here!"
Tang Ling was trembling with fright, and her consciousness suddenly awoke. Before she could adapt to the sudden change, her eyes were tightly grasped by the small silver bell in Wei Zhiming's hand not far away.
Xiao Hei's...memory anchor?
So her long memory recall just now was all because Wei Zhiming sounded this?
But wasn’t this bell given to Nangong Xun?
Just now, in Xiao Hei's memory.
"How could you have..."
Tang Ling struggled to get up, and severe pain immediately came from his chest.
The spear made of flesh and blood slowly dissipated as the monster's body fell apart. Listening to a familiar voice shouting the name "Nangong Xun" loudly, Tang Ling finally remembered that he was in the Nangong family's machine city at this moment.
Fu Qingcheng and others defeated Nangong Ling who turned into a demon.
As for Wei Zhiming over there.
Because she was fighting fiercely with the demon just now, she didn't think of the most important point. Xiao Hei's memory had already explained it.
Back then, Nangong Ling was framed to break into the upper level of the government tower, and Nangong Xun came to the rescue. After the two of them broke through the mystery of the ninth door, wouldn't they be in the same situation as she is now with Wei Zhiming?
But it was a one-way glass at that time, so only Nangong Ling could see Nangong Xun.
Now it has become ordinary transparent glass. On both sides of the "cup wall" that Xiao Hei used as an example to explain, people on both sides can see each other.
Wei Zhiming, who was on the other side of the "cup wall", saw that Tang Ling's eyes were no longer confused and put away the bell, with a complicated look on his face for a moment.
Tang Ling saw the look in his eyes and confirmed his judgment again.
"Nangong Xun! Don't you dare to come and see me! They said you always hide in Zhenchao Pass. You are a coward. You don't even have the courage to meet the ancestors of the Nangong family in Fengdu!"
Tang Ling had just accepted such a huge memory attack. Countless memory fragments collided in her brain, and she had a severe headache. However, Nangong Ling's heartbreaking shouts came to her ears, making it difficult for her to concentrate. She immediately scolded her impatiently.
.
"Nangong Xun, isn't it right there?"
Since Xiao Hei gave the bell to Nangong Xun, and now it appears in Wei Zhiming's hands, it awakens Xiao Hei's memory.
Then there must be some relationship between these two people.
Tang Ling made a bold guess and subconsciously shouted out randomly.
silence.
Deathly silence.
Tang Ling's ears finally felt better, but she immediately noticed that everyone around her was looking at her with suspicion, and Guo Rong was even a little creepy.
Only Nangong Ling screamed like an epileptic: "Where? Where! Are you really there?"
If you listen carefully, you can even hear a slight tremor in it.
"You...can't you see?" Tang Ling was also a little surprised and pointed in the direction where Wei Zhiming was standing.
"There."
The atmosphere became even weirder for a moment.
"I...didn't see it?" Guo Rong stuttered, then turned to the others, "Did you see it?"
Fu Qingcheng reached out and touched Tang Ling's forehead, "I don't have a fever."
Tang Ling took her hand away angrily and amusedly, and looked at Song Nan's disguised Lin Ping, "...Lin Ping, did you see it?"
"Lin Ping" shook his head.
Only then did Tang Ling start to think seriously.
It seems that "one-way glass" is still "one-way glass", but the experience is different.
She is the only one that can be seen.
Or to be more precise, only Xiao Hei.
There was no way, just like that miraculous recovery ability, Tang Ling always subconsciously attributed everything that happened to him, phenomena that were difficult to explain with common sense, to Xiao Hei.
Tsk.
Does that mean...
Nangong Ling was still making noises, but Tang Ling was getting angry just looking at him.
"Do you really want to see him?"
Nangong Ling nodded sharply.
I don't know if it was due to the little black blood in his body, but the words Tang Ling heard coming out of his mouth were extremely cold.
"How did he die, don't you know?"
Nangong Ling froze suddenly.
Tang Ling felt a complicated feeling in her heart, "I'll give it a try."
Everyone was silent.
"What are you trying?" Fu Qingcheng frowned, and for some reason, he subconsciously held the handle of the heavy knife.
"Anyway, we haven't found the exit yet." Tang Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we try to break this 'cup wall'."
