Another distinctive sound of murmuring water, and a strange fragrance, woke me from a dreamless sleep.When we opened our eyes, our boat was on a wide river.Swim against the current.On the riverbank, countless crimson flowers, stretched and grown, arranged in a soft curve in the night, with no head or tail in sight, thinking of blood, and like fire.It's here, the underworld.The river called Lethe, the flowers that are called the other side, and the smell that permeates the surroundings, contrary to the human world, all make me sure that this is where we are coming from, and that we are only one step away from the world we are going to go back to.A few of the children woke up and looked at the scene around them, and the place above them that looked like the sky but not like the sky, and asked me in some panic where it was.I didn't tell them it was the land of the dead, I just told them that it was the only way home.They finally had a look of surprise.The river was rowed away by our boat, and the flowers on the other side seemed to be friendly hosts, watching us uninvited guests.There were no anomalies along the way, in fact, the underworld is not a legendary place of horror related to death, it is just a space to accommodate another way of being.The universe is like this, everything has positive and negative sides, there is black and white, there is yin and yang, and there is life and death.That's the real balance.At the very least, agility is still a normal space, much more upright than the previous world full of fire and the Bull Demon King.I began to wonder if I should seriously clean up Twilight after I went back, this woman is really a scourge.The sound of the water became weaker and weaker, and I saw that the river was flowing more and more slowly, and the water level was getting lower and lower, and where the river disappeared completely, there was a field of dry pine stones, each stone was smooth as a mirror, and in the middle of the multicolored light stood a rectangular, door-like black object, which wrapped the edge of the white light.If you look closer, the black square is a thing formed by the black vortex that turns over endlessly, and some strange and magnificent light will be transmitted through the gaps between the vortices from time to time.That's the light of the human world."
Alright, we'll be home soon."
I smiled and announced to the imps.They still can't seem to believe it, and ask stupidly, is it true, is it true?"
”I winked at them.I took a deep breath, patted my real body, and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you this time, I will definitely water you more spiritual dew when I go back, and you will definitely grow more luxuriant next year." ”After speaking, I stretched out my hand to the little fat man, "Give me my hand, the rest of the people, all pull one by one, don't let go" The black fast, the bow of the boat slowly entered the "door", the little fat man didn't dare to open his eyes at all, and the hand that grabbed me was oozing sweat, and the other girls, who were in the same state at about the same time, held each other's hands and didn't dare to open their eyes.My body was the first to go through those whirlpools, it was cold and cold, there was no discomfort, and it was quite comfortable.After a second, I saw a light in front of my eyes, and my body was covered with a layer of long-lost warmth, the sun, the real, the sunshine that belonged to the world, sprinkled down from the crisp autumn sky, the mountains in the distance and the roads at the foot of the mountains, the vehicles that passed by from time to time, real in front of me.Quack quack I followed the hype to see, by the uninhabited pond, a flock of ducks walked leisurely by the pond, a few of them flapping their wings, curiously looking at the nameless who emerged from nothingness.The exit of the underworld is like this, it is not fixed, and no one knows where they will fall into the human world after they get out.Fortunately, it is a suburban pond, and if we show up in someone's house out of thin air, we will scare the innocent half to death.I smiled, knocked on the little fat man's head, and said, "It's here, open your eyes" He tentatively opened one eye, and then he was stunned, and then he got excited, shook off my hand and shouted: "Come back, come back, I'm back" The hull of the boat was still moving out, and the two girls with glasses came out safely, and then the last Ren Xiaochen.My heart finally let go completely.The little fat man and the two eyed girls scrambled to jump off the boat, and Ren Xiaochen was about to follow, only to see her face change, screaming, and her body, which had come out of the gate of the underworld, was dragged back towards the door by an inexplicable force.I secretly screamed that it was not good, the ship had already left the underworld, and if Ren Xiaochen, as an ordinary human being, was dragged back to the underworld at this moment, without the protection of my true body, her body and soul would be torn to pieces by the completely opposite forces of the underworld and the human world in an instant.I pounced, grabbed her hand, and yelled, "Hold on," and the other three children instinctively wanted to come up and help, but I threw them back.I wouldn't allow them to come any closer to this sudden convulsive exit, and I wouldn't be able to handle it if there was one more hapless man dragged in."
Help," Ren Xiaochen yelled uncomfortably.I could clearly feel her body sinking into the underworld little by little, and the invisible opponent behind the door seemed to have much more strength than mine."
I don't want to die, I don't want to die," Ren Xiaochen cried, struggling desperately outward, calling for help from me.In fact, at this time, whether it is vitality or spiritual power, I have already consumed to a limit.However, how could I fall short at this time I put my heart down, turned my hands into tough branches, and wrapped Ren Xiaochen's arms and exposed body to death, thinking, even if I tried all my strength, even if I died the next moment, I had to drag this chick out and hold my breath, I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes, leaned back, and shouted: "Give me out" I am finally "infinitely powerful".Hula, Ren Xiaochen was dragged out of the door by me and fell on top of me, and the huge impact force made me slide backwards with her for a long distance, scaring the ducks to run in all directions.Ren Xiaochen was probably scared silly, and fell into my arms and cried.I patted her on the back and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay."
Don't rub your snot on me, okay, you" I didn't finish speaking, but I felt that something was wrong.A little tingling, mixed with a paralysis, spread over my heart.Ren Xiaochen got up from me, removed his right hand from my heart, and stood aside, with a gloomy and sly smile on the corner of his immature mouth that did not match his age.However, her eyes were just an empty blankness.I tried to stand up, but I found that I couldn't reach my heart, and there was an ice pick as thin as a little finger and extremely sharp, and the cone was engraved with all kinds of runes, and they swam in it like strange bugs, and they were going towards my heart quickly.I gripped the ice pick in pain and tried to pull it out, but as soon as my palm touched it, I felt the thing in my hand turn into a puddle of water and disappear into my palm.Now, not a sting, but a sharp pain, from the inside out, every inch of my body seemed to be bitten by countless sharp teeth, and my head was about to explode, as if there was a saw, opened from my heavenly spirit cover, and wanted to take something from it."
Xiaochen, you" Her companion was obviously frightened by her actions and retreated like a ghost, while Ren Xiaochen stood in place as if nothing had happened.My vision became a little blurry, perhaps blinded by the cold sweat that fell like rain, and under the blur, I faintly saw a figure walking towards me.Now, I can't even wipe my sweat for myself.The figure was still approaching me, and eventually, it passed through my body.I didn't feel anything special, I just felt that something that belonged to me had left me with this guy who had passed through my body.Gradually, the unbearable pain lessened, my body became much more relaxed than before, my eyes could see clearly, and I could sit up and sit up, I looked up, and the person standing opposite me was so familiar with his back."
I warned you, you're going to lose everything."
The man, slowly turning, smiled at me with a victorious smile.I was stunned that the person turned out to be me.My facial features, body, voice, and even the color of my eyes and hair are exactly the same as mine.No, that's my body at all, and what comes out of that body is my own smell, unique and inimitable.I hurriedly turned my head sideways, leaned out from the edge of the pool, and looked at the face reflected on the water, my breath froze the reflection on the water, it was not me, it was Twilight.Our bodies have been exchanged."
Those kids were never my target.They're just my bait. ”The "I" on the other side took out a rope as thick as a fishing line from her bosom and threw it forward, and the rope wrapped around my real body like a snake, she pinched the rope and pulled it back, and the "boat" that belonged to me was wound and compressed into a fist-sized ball of light, which she put into a black leather bag."
The fish I'm going to catch has been you from the beginning."
She put away her skin, approached me, and looked down at me proudly, "Don't they all praise the Dryad for being extremely smart, it turns out that there is indeed a gap between the legend and the reality."
If I were you, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk for a few strange imps. ”I only laugh, I don't speak.I know she wants to see me go crazy, but I'm not going to give her that chance."
I really don't understand why people like to compliment you.Where's the good of you," she leaned down and surveyed my face, "even the incomparable Lord of Hades regards you as a friend who can give you such a precious thing as a birthday present."
I'm really weird. ”"It's not that you don't understand, you're just jealous."
Although "I" is no longer "me", the ability to hit the nail on the head when speaking is still there."
If you're too nice to someone, you might hurt that person.If it weren't for that birthday present, my master wouldn't have sent me to you. ”She sneered and patted the skin bag on her waist, "Your true body now belongs to my master." ”Yes, the close friend I'm talking about is the current Hades, my birthday, this close friend dropped a drop of fingertip blood on my real body, and it is because of this drop of Hades blood that my true body has the ability to go through the sky and everywhere, and I am probably the only monster who can enter and leave the underworld at will, as long as I want.The essence of this gift is really just trust.But I really didn't expect that it would cause me trouble this time."
Open the twilight, steal my business, attract my attention, and then deliberately let me discover the fact that several children are trapped in another dimension, knowing that I will not die without help, and take advantage of my exhaustion and spiritual power exhaustion, and finally steal my true body.You and your master, step by step, lead me into your trap without knowing it.Ren Xiaochen, that kid, has already been manipulated by you.You know I'm not going to be defensive of her. ”Speaking of this, I couldn't help but applaud and laugh, "Great, an opponent like you is insidious and shameless enough, I like it" "Haha, you're still so hard-mouthed." ”She pointed at me and laughed, then looked at Ren Xiaochen and said, "But my master's purpose is just to get your true body."
As for me, I took the initiative to attach a task to myself, which was to take my human form and replace it. ”I took over the conversation easily and said with a smile, "Do you like me so much" She walked up to Ren Xiaochen, and gently swiped her finger towards the artery in her neck, pulling out a thin silver wire from it, wrapping it around her finger, like a piece."
I spent a month cultivating this soul rodent cone specially prepared for you in that stupid girl's body, and every piece of new products she eats is added with special materials, which is my hard work.I know you still have some skills, and it won't be easy to take your body.And you know, the Soul Cone only strikes when the person's mind is completely defenseless, and the best effect can be achieved.Luckily, I did, and it went well. ”After she pulled the silk out of Ren Xiaochen's body, a small blood spot appeared on the child's neck, "But don't worry, I won't do anything to these stupid children, they have already assisted me in completing the task."
I will wash away their memories and send them home safely.It's not in vain that you made such a great sacrifice to save the cangs, great sister Satsu. ”I exhaled, the pain in my body was almost gone, I tried to stand up, and waved my hand at her: "As I said, don't recognize relatives.I can't afford a sister like you. ”"But," her eyes suddenly became meaningful, "that's what I called you many, many years ago. ”I was slightly stunned.She regained her teasing demeanor, and pretended to be innocent and opened her eyes wide, the eyes that belonged to me, and said seriously: "By the way, I kindly remind you."
The Soul Cone is a special spell that can turn everything you have into mine.But it's not like there's no way to break the spell.When someone recognizes that you are the real one, the spell is broken.But remember, what you tell or hint at others doesn't count, you have to be thought of by others.Also, the monster that has been poisoned by this spell no longer has any mana, and what you have now belongs to my body, which is no different from ordinary humans. ”I just listened quietly and didn't ask any questions or comment.Seeing that I didn't seem to have any reaction, she couldn't hold her breath a little and sneered: "Although my body is more than enough for you, there is one thing that is not very good."
When the colorless flowers bloom in the coming year, you will not be able to return to your true body, because in one day, you have lost your real body, and "she stroked her hair with satisfaction," and the human form you have cultivated.You know, if you can't go back to your real body and absorb the vitality, you'll disappear. ”She paused and counted on her fingers, "It's almost a year away."
Of course, if during this time, someone recognizes you, takes back your human form for you, and then regains your true body from my master, if you can complete these two unlikely tasks, I will admit that your ability to be a tree demon is indeed above me. ”"I never need anyone's admission."
I said lightly, yawned, and looked at the innocent children who were stunned by her, "I just hope you will do what you say and send these little ghosts back intact." ”"It's nature."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I also treat you well, don't say anything about leaving you alive, and give you a nice little shop."
You see, you can still be your boss lady, but in a different environment. ”"Well, thank you."
I smiled very happily, "You too, congratulations on opening a new chapter in your life from today, and living in this interesting world as me."
I also want to remind you, be careful of the two bad babies in my shop, one fat and one thin, they definitely have the potential to make you half angry" "Congratulations to each other, Twilight's new boss, congratulations on taking office." ”She raised her face and threw a wink at me, then as if she remembered something, she took out a few bills and threw them to me, "I almost forgot that you don't have mana now, this is the suburbs, if you want to return to the twilight, you can only take a taxi, hahaha." ”Leaving behind a string of mocking laughs, I looked at the other "me", expertly navigating the clouds, taking the four children, and everything that had been taken from me, flying to the clouds.In the air, someone seemed to think that they hadn't hit me enough, and shouted again: "This is for you to keep a souvenir." ”A gadget fell from mid-air and fell in front of me.A tarot card, the Grim Reaper.I looked at the direction of the card, looked up, and said to the guy with a smile that was gone, "Honey, the Grim Reaper you gave me is still reversed." ”I picked it up and put it away.I will definitely collect the gifts given to me by others.t1706231537:
