Chapter 109: Fiancée?
"You shouldn't have come here, your name isn't written on the cloth of fate, and you're not part of this plane. "Said the massive creature that calls itself the "gatekeeper".
In fact, in essence, this is not considered "talking", because it has no mouth, and relies on some kind of spiritual communication means, so that its voice appears directly in Yuan Xiao's mind. While analyzing what the big man said, Yuan Xiao tried to call Orkus, but the sea of blood was as calm as a red mirror, without a trace of fluctuation, and Orkus disappeared as if it had evaporated.
"There is no need to call upon the soul of the fallen, this is the Pure Land, the Holy Land, the Destination and Beginning of the Living, the Everything and the Being, the Self of the Living, and only the Self of the Living Being can come. "The gatekeeper's words are obscure and ancient, and you feel like you don't understand anything, but you understand everything.
"Can I go in?" Hara pointed to the door behind the gatekeeper.
"Not yet. The gatekeeper said, "Human, you have one more chance to leave. ”
"I'm going to die if I go up, there's no need. Yuan Xiao smiled bitterly and sat down on the ground, the pain in his body began to bite his soul again.
"I can teleport you to a place where no one knows, help you recover from all your injuries, give you wealth and power, and you can become a lord in this hell. The gatekeeper spoke calmly and astonishingly.
Yuan Xiao was stunned, to be honest, this condition was very tempting, but he always felt that something was wrong.
"Why did you let me go, did the other people who came here also accept such conditions?" Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, anyway, he opened his mouth and didn't ask in vain.
"Nope. The Gatekeeper's voice did not fluctuate without any fluctuations, "They have not escaped the shackles of order, they have not deviated from the creed of chaos, they are still in their fate, but they have been abandoned by fate, they will leave forever, from their existence." ”
"Then why am I treated differently?" the gatekeeper's answer confirmed Orkus's suspicion, and sure enough, many demons came here to seek power, only to be forcibly disappeared by terrible means. But Yuan Xiao couldn't think of anything special about himself and would be treated preferentially by this "gatekeeper".
"You're different from them. The gatekeeper's head suddenly moved, and it paused for a moment before speaking slowly, "I can't make you disappear, because you never existed. ”
"What does this mean? I'm dead, or am I not alive?" Yuan Xiao didn't understand, why he said that he "didn't exist", referring to the body, soul, memory, A cold feeling slowly wrapped around Yuan Xiao's body, and he instinctively began to tremble. This cold does not come from temperature, nor from murderous intent, nor from fear, but from a kind of confusion, a confusion about the cognizability of one's own existence.
"You are not qualified to know now, and when the day comes, when blood melts into mountains, and flames turn into forests, and there are thirteen suns in the sky, you will understand at last. The gatekeeper raised his head, "Today, you can only choose to leave, or be tested." ”
"What is the test. Yuan Xiao forcibly suppressed the cold discomfort and asked as calmly as possible. He had no fear in the face of an endless number of enemies on the battlefield, no fear when he was mortally wounded and in danger, and no fear when he jumped into the unknown and came to this hell. At one point, he thought he had overcome humanity's greatest fear—the unknown. But today he found out that there was an existence more terrifying than the unknown, which made him tremble a little.
That is, the doom of darkness and chaos.
This gatekeeper seems to know everything in the past and all in the future, but it is not concrete, but mixed with chaotic fragments and obscure depictions, so that the original owl can only peek into a corner, only know the destined, but do not know the whole picture.
In the midst of this, there is a great terror.
"The test is the test that the man has set, and he who passes through it may take the bones of the man and enter into the garden behind me, and eat the fruit of the tree. The gatekeeper doesn't seem to have the emotion of "hesitation", as long as Yuan Xiao asks, he will answer, and there will be no hesitation.
"It's not going to be about letting me beat you or something. Yuan Xiao smiled dryly and said tentatively.
"Nope. The gatekeeper's voice suddenly fluctuated, it was a kind of piety that was martyred, "It's killing me." ”
......
After feeding the stray cats, the original owl gently scratched their little heads with his hand, whispered "goodbye", and suddenly jumped up and came to the top of another building, so as to move forward. With his current physical fitness, it can be said that it is easy to do these superhuman actions, and he can do it even if he is a little more outrageous. If one day all of his abilities can reach the limit, Yuan Xiao doesn't know how far he will go.
Occasionally, when Orkus wasn't in the blood, he would recall what the Gatekeeper had said to him.
"It never existed. Yuan Xiao lowered his head and clenched his fists, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
The communication with the gatekeeper, including the content of the test, how he passed, the original owl never told Orkus or anyone else, and at all times he locked this memory firmly in the deepest part of his temple of thought, as his eternal secret.
Yuan Xiao's speed was very fast, not to mention that by flying over the roof of the building, he soon came to the vicinity of his destination - Sun Haiqing's home.
While at the banquet, he receives a text message from Dante.
"Come to Sun Haiqing after the end, we are all here. ”
Yuan Xiao probably knew what was going on: Sun Haiqing's matter had a result.
The reason why Yuan Xiao bypassed the royal lock and went to Dante to talk to Dante about the information about the "Kovac Holy Judgment" was ostensibly to knock Dante's bamboo bar, but in fact to maintain the purity of this information.
That's right, this information is actually one of the bargaining chips to keep Sun Haiqing alive.
The chips used to keep Sun Haiqing alive.
Let Jun Suode already have more leverage in the upper echelons of the Demon Hunter Artificial Council.
If he told Jun Suo directly, then this information would have become a deal between him and Jun Suo, not only could not help Sun Haiqing, but also put the positive image of Jun Suo's painstaking management into it. But Dante is different, this is just a blackmail, the original owl is the villain, Dante is the victim, but the information has become innocent stolen goods, Dante then reports it to Jun Suo through the program, and this information becomes clean.
To put it mildly, this method of "washing intelligence" is to let the original owl jump into the dung pit by himself, but throw the information ashore.
But Yuan Xiao didn't care, he just needed Sun Haiqing to survive, which he owed to this girl.
He doesn't like to be in debt, he's always not.
When he was about to arrive at the high-end residential area where Sun Haiqing was, Yuan Xiao thought about it and jumped down from the upper floor, so as not to be beaten up by Jun Suo on the grounds of "thinking it was a thief" when he entered through the window.
It's not that the original owl is careful, it's that this guy Junsuo can really do it......
After saying hello to the doorman, Yuan Xiao entered the community, walked quickly into the unit building where Sun Haiqing's house was located, and came to the floor where she was by jumping a small staircase.
"Knock knock. "The original owl knocked on the door.
"Cipher. A cautious female voice came from inside the door.
"Haiqing...... Can you not mess around with them......"
"But I think they have a point...... Let's say the code, big brother Yuan. The female voice in the door was naturally Sun Haiqing, which sounded a little timid, so that Yuan Xiao had no desire to refuse.
"How much is a string of fish balls. Yuan Xiao very stiffly began to say the code.
"Two cents a string!" Sun Haiqing enjoyed the feeling of this secret joint very much, and hurriedly replied.
"When I was the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui, I was only a dime. The original owl finished saying this shameful code with black lines on his face.
The door opened, revealing Sun Haiqing's pale but beautiful face.
I don't know if it's the origin of the ability of "chasing the sun" - the benefits brought to her by the Shadow of the Fallen Gray Wing, or because of the bloodline interference caused by stitching up with the Shadow Phantom Spider, in short, this girl is now completely out of the "mediocre appearance" and has come to the ranks of "Alluring the country and the city".
Yuan Xiao sighed, touched Sun Haiqing's blue-gray hair, and walked into the house.
On the sofa sat two handsome and compelling sluts.
"Hello two sluts. Yuan Xiao ripped off the collar of the shirt in the suit and took off the tie, "Can I ask first, who came up with this code?"
"Essentially, I came up with Dante together. "Jun Suo showed a standard eight teeth, shining in the bright light, which was very unpleasant.
"That's fine. The original owl went to rummage in the refrigerator, found a bottle of ice water, and walked back to the living room, next to Dante. "Before I can beat you two to death, you guys will be very cheap. ”
Sun Haiqing also returned to the living room and sat down on the stool carefully. She naturally trusts Yuan Xiao, but at the moment she is not fully familiar with her new identity, and she is still a little afraid of Jun Suo and Dante.
Yuan Xiao glanced at Sun Haiqing, who was shrunk into a ball, didn't say anything, turned his head and asked Dante, "What did you call me to do, I'm busy, if it's trivial, be careful that I will charge you for mental damage later." ”
"The above is determined. Jun Suo didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "There will be a commissioner coming tomorrow, and you will go on a mission together." ”
"So fast?" Yuan Xiao frowned, Sun Haiqing hadn't fully adapted yet, was he a little too anxious.
"That's the maximum I can negotiate, otherwise I'd have come today. Jun Suo shook his head, his face was slightly tired, it seemed that the negotiations at the headquarters were not easy.
"That's it, I'm going to charge for mental damages. "The original owl began to find fault.
"I'm here to remind you that this commissioner is a bit special. Jun Suo showed a strange expression.
"Who?" said Yuan Xiao curious.
"Ren Huashang, the daughter of the strongest 'Shun' in China. Dante interjected in reply.
"At the same time, she is the president's fiancée. ”
