In front of him was a girl with her eyes tightly closed and her whole body exuding a soft light.
"Lord Elinor?"
I heard my own trembling voice.
"Am I... dead again?"
"Mr. Gu Lao, do you know what you have done?"
"I?"
"How could you...sigh..."
Eleanor's helpless and slightly annoyed tone made me a little nervous.
In the end what happened?
Hmm... I remember I blocked the poisonous arrow for Xue, and then...
The rest...can't remember.
So I'm still alive? Or am I...
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu Lao is safe for the time being."
I am not surprised that Eleanor, who is in a real situation, can directly understand my thoughts.
Well, it seems that someone successfully saved me.
What about snow?
"Miss Xue is also alive."
"real?"
"certainly."
I didn't have any hope at first but suddenly I felt a lot more energetic.
"Who helped us? Even fallen demons can..."
"It's you."
"......ah?"
"Someone found two small bottles in your coat pocket. According to what you said before losing consciousness, he took the powder in the two small bottles as an antidote and poured them into your and Miss Xue's mouths respectively.
.”
Coat pockets…
One bottle is the analgesic powder given to me by Belin Gretel, and the other...
"my eyes!"
"Yes, what Miss Xue took was Mr. Gu's eyes that were burned to ashes."
"Um, what do you mean?"
"You really don't understand... You didn't belong to this world at first. In order for you to live smoothly, I gave you the divine eyes."
Eleanor seemed to sigh.
"Mr. Gu Lao cannot cast any magic. It is difficult to move forward in a world full of magic, not to mention there are couples, demons and wars. If I don't help, many uncertain factors will destroy Mr. Gu Lao sooner or later.
.”
"..."
"Among the seven divine gifts, only the divine eye can be completely integrated into the human body. In the past, I thought that this attribute had certain risks, so I never really gave it to the world."
"..."
Lady Eleanor still likes to beat around the bush as always.
"...and the appearance of Mr. Gu Lao has made the Divine Eye, which had a high probability of destroying the balance, become the best option to maintain the balance. For Mr. Gu Lao, the Divine Eye is not only a god
Gift is Mr. Gu's 'organ' - at the same time, it is also a part of me. Once, I observed the world through it, but now, you and I use it together and rely on it all the time."
"Uh, so, the divine eyes are actually the eyes of Lord Elinor?"
"Yes, and besides, my eyes are your eyes."
"......ha?!"
"Why are you so surprised? I think Mr. Gu Lao should have guessed this a long time ago with his ability."
"You are too flattering to me."
I still can't believe what Eleanor said.
"Let's make sure - when you say 'eyes', do you mean 'eyes' in reality? Or..."
"Of course they are real eyes! Really, now is not the time to joke, Mr. Lonely!"
"Feel sorry......"
I thought it was another inexplicable metaphor.
"I emphasize it again! Dating and divine gifts are like human organs, but humans cannot see or touch them. They stay in the male's left eye and the female's neck, transmitting information to the host's brain."
Wait, this is a very familiar speech, it seems like it was in that book...
[Based on the relevant information mentioned in the oracle and the opinions of many scholars, the author speculates that the betrothed will often be the first to come into contact with the male's left eye or the female's neck, thereby signing a contract with the chosen host. 】
"Well, that's the book."
"Is it possible that the author of that book is a genius..."
That book refers to the "Encyclopedia of Dating Categories" that I found in the North Third District Library.
It's an extremely simple name, but the content in the book is closely related to many events I encountered in the future.
"He may not be a genius, but the book and Mr. Gu's various actions are all 'God's will'."
"In other words, everything was caused by you?"
"...Why did Mr. Gu Lao have such a misunderstanding? Even if I am an arrogant goddess, I cannot change the 'will of God' at will!"
"My arrogant goddess, I think there are many contradictions in your remarks just now."
"Okay~~ We can discuss this topic in detail when we have time."
Was perfunctory.
"Right now! The most urgent task! What needs to be dealt with is! The lonely old man who got into trouble but still doesn't know it!"
"Getting into trouble?"
"Mr. Gu Lao, from the moment Miss Xue swallowed your eyes into her throat, the divine eye has lost its power and can no longer stabilize the 'balance' in your body for me. Fortunately, I discovered the abnormality in time, otherwise Gu Lao
Sir, there is no way to escape death."
"My eyes have clearly been captured by gangsters..."
"Even so, its owner is still you."
"..."
"However, once it enters someone else's body, the power it generates will immediately affect the person closest to it, not the lonely old man."
What kind of weird setting is this?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier..."
Elinor ignored my complaints and just concluded:
"So, the lifespan of a lonely old man who lacks 'balance' will be lost at an extremely fast rate."
"Is this happening again?"
I'm a little dumbfounded.
"But since Lady Elinor can still talk leisurely and leisurely, then the problem must have been solved, right?"
"That's true...but what Mr. Gu said is too rude!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "..."
"...I temporarily put the divine eye back into your body, but the lost life span cannot be restored."
"Approximately how long?"
"Four years."
"If that's all, I can still accept it."
I couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
"Ah That's good."
"It's really troublesome, Lady Elinor, and I can't thank you enough."
"There is no need to thank me, Mr. Gu, this is just a transaction - what you learned in Woolworth is to use the chips in your hands to try your best to obtain greater benefits? You think so too
Yes, right?"
"Although there have indeed been similar speculations, I can't believe... that I have the corresponding value."
Thanks to Eleanor.
"Thanks to you, I am indeed Lady Elinor."
"You're welcome, but I hope this is the last time. Please take good care of my eyes from now on."
"Well......"
I raised my head and stared blankly at Eleanor, whose figure gradually became blurry.
It wasn't until this moment that I realized: there was a very eye-catching blood stain under Elinor's closed left eye.
But before I could ask any questions, Eleanor disappeared.
My body began to fall rapidly, and by the time I reacted, I had already left the realm of reality.
——Eleanor expressed her dissatisfaction in this way.
...
I opened my eyes.
eyes...
I can see it...
I was surprised to find that my left eye was intact.
And then the snow hugging me made me realize that this was not another dream.
"Good morning. In other words, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"..."
"The doctor said you need to rest."
Xue's voice was clear and powerful, and mixed with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
"..."
I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.
Maybe we should say "Long time no see" first? It seems that this is not necessary.
Snow is still murmuring:
"We are all alive..."
"Isn't it incredible?"
I smiled proudly.
"Do you know what happened? In other words, what did you do?"
"How could it have anything to do with me..."
A trace of helplessness came to my mind, and I sighed.
"What about you? Are you okay?"
"...I can no longer hear the screams of those who usurped my mate, and other noises have disappeared, even the wounds caused by poisoning... They think that I am not a demon, and treat me as a normal person.
.....”
"them?"
"Officers from the police station. After we fell into a coma, they broke into the Earl's Mansion and controlled the situation in time."
"Why do you know..."
"I told her."
I had not seen Belin Gretel next to me until now, and I immediately got out of bed and thanked her respectfully:
"I salute you, Lord Shenxingguan. I will never forget your kindness."
"Stop saying such false words, I won't be of much help."
The other party still looked distracted.
"Rather, if I had been more careful, you wouldn't have been hit by the arrow."
"No, no, no, this is not your responsibility."
"...I originally wanted to destroy those poison arrow traps in advance, but doing so would inevitably alert the snake. Although I destroyed most of the arrows immediately after the poison arrow trap was activated, I still missed two...
....One shot happened to hit you, and the other was picked up by the coalition forces and plunged into her chest."
Beilin paused and glanced at Xue.
"The above is what happened before you fainted. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and neither you nor her life was in danger."
"Um......"
"Guess - who activated the poison arrow trap?"
"...Lord?"
"It's Vito."
A joking smile appeared on Beilin's face.
"When we found him, he had already committed suicide by taking poison. It's really strange. Even though I gave him enough opportunities to make amends, and his cooperation was pretty good, he still chose to die to apologize."
"Maybe he can't forgive himself for betraying the lord."
"Huh, even so, who knows how many people he has betrayed?"
"..."
I remained silent.
"That's all, I will try my best to hide the information about him, and you can just pretend you haven't heard of it. In addition, I hope you can keep your mouth shut about all the other things."
"As commanded."
"...as for you."
Belin hesitated for a moment, then looked at me with a complicated expression.
"You should have a lot of confusions. I will explain them to you one by one after I solve the current troubles. Moreover, I also have many questions that I need you to answer - related to your eyes. Before that, do your best.
Mentally prepare.”
"As commanded."
"...There is no need to deliberately put on a submissive attitude. I killed your friend, so I should be your enemy. Could it be that after you learned that I was a Shenxingguan, you suddenly woke up and thought that everything was you
Does my friend deserve what he deserves?"
This guy really likes to rub salt into wounds…
I know very well that I must look extremely weak at this moment, but the other party is a divine officer after all, and she has the power to decide the future fate of me and Xue, so I need to be weak.
Weak people do not pose much of a threat.
At least it will make her lose interest in continuing the conversation.
"What you said is absolutely true."
Just like it is now.
Belin left without hesitation.
"..."
"..."
"How...how do you feel?"
"I feel very awake."
There was still unconcealable surprise in Xue's eyes.
"My hands, legs, brain... I can always know what I am doing and can always act according to my own wishes. In other words, it no longer competes with me for this body."
"Then can you still use your mate ability?"
"......Can."
"..."
"Why did it become like this?"
"I don't know. But maybe you should explain something to me... At least, I have to figure out the ins and outs of all this, right? I have no clue now, so please don't continue to hide it.
