Chapter 14: The Lake of Twilight
Jingjing Valley.
On the shores of Twilight Blood Lake.
"The Blood Fern Stone has been released according to your orders, Jimo Thousand Faces God, you promised me to become a member of your world, when will I truly belong to your world?" Gu Zhifeng couldn't wait to ask Jimo Qianmian.
"You're doing a good job, but it's still too early to really become a person in this world!" Jimo Qianmian said unhurriedly.
Seeing a trace of disappointment flashing in Gu Zhifeng's eyes, he immediately said:
"It's too late for you to regret it now!"
"How could I regret it, I just wish I would never wake up and go back to that world!"
"Very good!" Jimo Qianmian changed a smile full of expectation,
"I'm looking forward to seeing you come to our world, too!" he said.
"What will I be like when I come to your world, will I be the same as you?" Gu Zhifeng was expectant and curious.
"I don't want to look like you! I'm a girl, and I still want to have a handsome face!"
"Hahaha!" Jimo Qianmian smiled: "One of the human face flowers in this mask forest is what you will look like in the future!"
"Then, can I choose the most special and special one now?" Gu Zhifeng suddenly got up excitedly and walked towards the mask forest.
"Of course not!"
"Why?"
"The only way you will be in the future is for a human host like you to pick a human face flower in the mask forest! What kind of human face flower does the human host like and pluck her, you will have the future appearance. ”
"Ah, am I ugly or beautiful, can only be in the hands of the host?" Gu Zhifeng's eyes widened, with an incredible expression.
Jimo Qianmian nodded.
"In the vast sea of people, where do I go to find my human host?" Gu Zhifeng said a little deflated,
"Does he have any characteristics, or can I just pull someone down the street and be my host?"
"Haha! Of course not. Gotta find someone like you!" Ji Mo Qianmian changed into an unfathomable mysterious expression face.
"Like me?" Gu Zhifeng was confused.
"Yes, only a human like you with a congenital preauricular fistula can be our host!"
"Congenital preauricular fistula?...... That...... Then am I your host now?" Gu Zhifeng asked in surprise.
"Do you remember when you came to the Mask Forest to pick human face flowers?" Jimo Qianmian looked at Gu Zhifeng.
"I remember, the first time I dreamed of coming to this mask forest, I picked a human face flower, and the expression of that human face flower at that time, like an abandoned stray cat, reminded me of myself, so I didn't hesitate to take her home. Gu Zhifeng recalled the scene of the first time she came to the Mask Forest.
"Then you're already a host!" said Jimo Qianmian.
"But how did I become a host, I don't feel it at all!" Gu Zhifeng said.
"That's because the people who chose you as a host have been protecting you from letting you know. Jimo Qianmian responded.
"Huh, let me know, what will happen?" Gu Zhifeng asked.
"Then do you remember the appearance of that human face flower?" Jimo Qianmian deliberately interrupted, not wanting to go into the topic of Gu Zhifeng.
"Oh, I really can't remember! I just think she's so pathetic! But do you mean that my actions at that time were just to help someone in your world choose a face?"
"Yes, you're going to be what she's going to be. Whether it's beautiful or ugly, old or young, you can't change it!" said Jimo Qianmian.
"Ah——, hopefully, I hope I didn't choose a very ugly face at that time, otherwise I'm really sorry for people's trust in me!" Gu Zhifeng touched her head and said with annoyance.
"But, Thousand-Faced, I'm curious, what were you like before you got a human host? Gu Zhifeng covered her mouth and smiled. She suddenly thought of the faceless man in "Spirited Away" and thought it would be interesting if it was like that.
Jimo Qianmian lowered his head thoughtfully.
After all, you are still a human being, and you don't really belong to our world, and I can tell you all this until the time when it is too late for you to regret it!"
"It's too late to repent? I've already released the Blood Fern Stone as you commanded. This already shows my attitude, for me, there is no time to regret it without the time you said, joining your world, I never thought of regretting. Gu Zhifeng was a little displeased, her wholehearted sincerity was questioned, which was a blow to her.
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid that you will regret it, it's just that you haven't reached the time to know this, everything has a growth process, and this is of course no exception!"
"Then what am I going to do next? Just wait?" Gu Zhifeng asked.
"You still have one more thing to do!" Jimo Qianmian leaned down and whispered in Gu Zhifeng's ear.
Gu Zhifeng listened carefully to Jimo Qianmian's whisper and nodded.
At this time, she suddenly saw a handsome man with handsome eyes and a tall figure suspended above the human face flowers in the mask forest, and those human face flowers hugged him back and forth, his ears and temples grinding, but he kept his brows tightly locked, completely unmoved.
"Jimo Thousand Faces, I often see this little brother, why does he always look unmoved?" Gu Zhifeng looked at the man not far away, turned around and asked curiously.
"Haha, maybe he is too strong-willed, or perhaps, the faces here can't impress him. Jimo Qianmian sighed.
"Can I go over and say hi to him, I've seen him here a lot!"
"Silly boy, he can't see us at all now!"
"Why? Don't we know it's not far away?" Gu Zhifeng looked suspicious.
"Only after he plucked a human face flower could he see everything here, and for now he can only see the Twilight Blood Lake and the Mask Forest!" replied Jimo Qianmian.
"Oh, that's interesting! Hey, I used to see a young lady a lot, and I often chatted with her, but I haven't seen her come here recently, and I found out later in the news that she was killed in the school dormitory......" Gu Zhifeng lowered her head and said sadly:
"I was in the real world, I had no friends, and there was no one to talk to, I met her here, I talked to her a lot and became good friends, I thought everything was unreal, but I didn't expect that in the real world, she and I both lived in the same city, she died, and I knew that we were so close!"
Gu Zhifeng lowered her head sadly, tears flowing down her fair cheeks.
Jimo Qianmian changed a sad face and looked at Gu Zhifeng, but it seemed to make Gu Zhifeng happy for a moment:
"Gu Zhifeng, how about I take you around the Jingjing Valley, you stand up!" Jimo Qianmian didn't care whether Gu Zhifeng was willing or not, and pulled her up,
"I'll take you around with my special mount, no one else has such a good treatment, but don't be afraid!"
Gu Zhifeng wiped away her tears, "I, Gu Zhifeng, have been scared from the bottom, and there is nothing to scare me anymore!"
"That's good!" Jimo Qianmian shouted at the moths flying and patrolling in the distance under the black pressure of the sky: "Hei Youzi!"
The black moths immediately flew towards this direction.
The black moths flew to Jimo Qianmian and Gu Zhifeng, and suddenly their bodies shrank into small black dots, and they were arranged in order with good training, as if by magic, a black human head and neck appeared in the sky, and then black arms, human bodies, and lower limbs grew......
After a while, a handsome and cool black figure appeared in front of Jimo Qianmian's eyes.
This is the exclusive mount of Jimo Thousand Faces, the Black Youzi he said.
