Chapter 17 To kill or not to kill
The scholar raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by what the mirror said. Suddenly, he smiled playfully, and then said, "Shadow weather is always good. ”
When Jing heard this, she didn't relax, her eyes were cold, her fingertips faintly revealed the light of true qi, and she was about to slash at the scholar in the next moment!
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. The scholar looked at the uncertain light on his hands in the mirror, the smile on his face tightened, and he said seriously, "Winter thunder and earthquake, summer rain and snow." ”
Jing frowned, and the hand that was about to be split off slowly withdrew, but he still did not release his vigilance, and said coldly: "What is the ten-year covenant?"
"The upper poor and the lower yellow springs. "The scholar recited it like a stream.
Jing's eyebrows loosened again: "What is life, what is death." ”
"Live to die. The scholar's face was filled with a faint smile, close at hand, but also as if far away from the end of the world.
"The weapon will be returned to you first. The scholar raised his hands, and suddenly the mirror's double swords were thrown into the air.
"Why have you never heard my sister talk about you?" Mirror took the sword and asked the scholar with some confusion.
Looking at it now, she can be sure that this scholar is her master's person, because the answers to these three questions are only known to Kagami and Sora, and if there is anyone else, it must be a 100% credible person. After all, even Bai Yu didn't know the answers to these three questions.
"Didn't mention it?" the scholar raised his eyebrows, this time it was really very surprised, "It seems that I am really unknown." In short, you know that I am your sister's best friend, and he also trusts me. He waved his hand, and it didn't matter.
"You..... Is it the master's hole card?" Jing thought of the most important question at this time. Since this scholar is a person from the master, but the master has never mentioned it, what is he, is the hole card?
"No, the boss's last hole card is you, and your sister. The scholar turned his head, stared at the mirror and said very seriously, "And I, at most, am a shadow." ”
She understood the last hole card, but what about the shadows, why would such a trusted person sneak into the Terrans to do such a dangerous job?
"Are you willing to be a shadow?" the mirror did not understand what the scholar was thinking. Who wants to be a person whose true identity will never see the light of day in obscurity?
"Yes. Because after becoming a shadow, I can protect what I want to protect. The scholar turned his head to look at the sky, and his voice was a little soft and faint.
The mirror could hear the loneliness and loneliness implied in the scholar's flat tone.
The mirror couldn't quite understand the scholar's feelings at this moment. But she could understand the determination and will of the scholar. Maybe that kind of choice without regrets may be the best for scholars.
"Then what are you looking for me?" Suddenly she realized that time had passed, and she remembered that her original purpose was not to listen to the scholar's story.
"Help you get things done. The scholar said lightly.
Hearing the word mission, Kagami was stunned.
Task...... What a distant memory. So far away that I almost forgot that I was still on a mission.
Suddenly, a strange thought appeared in Jing's mind: it seemed that it was not bad to be Shao Nian's lieutenant like this.
Then, in the next second, the mirror was startled, and suddenly eliminated this terrifying thought for a killer.
Next to him, the scholar saw that the mirror had not made a sound for a long time, so he turned his head to look at her, and then saw the mirror's uncertain face.
"What?" the scholar felt that the mirror's expression was a little strange.
"Nope. She shifted the subject, "How can you help me?"
I don't know why, the more Jing wants to suppress that inexplicable thought, the more that thought wants to rush out, at this moment, Jing's mind is full of the figure of that man.
"Some of Shao Nian's whereabouts, all kinds of hidden weapons or poisons needed for assassination, etc.," the scholar paused, then looked deeply at his glasses, and said slowly, "Also, I can help you contact your sister." ”
Jing looked up suddenly: "Do you have a way to skip the Great Elder to contact your sister?"
"Of course, there are solutions, but the cost is very high. The scholar said lightly, "So you must complete the task." ”
Kagami replied in a low voice, then fell silent.
Her heart was tangled. Are you really going to kill that person? The person standing in your way? He, actually...... It's pretty good, but the face is a little too stiff.
But what about my sister?
This is the first time in the history of the mirror that it has been tangled.
To kill or not to kill?
Then Jing suddenly thought of a very important question, does the person named Shao Nian have anything to do with him......? There really is.
Logically, if he died, he would return to the shadows, to his sister, and if he didn't die, he would never be able to return.
But why, when I think that Shao Nian will die, I feel very sad? It is different from the confusion when my mother disappeared, and it is different from the heartbreak when the master leaves, but I am a little sad.
I tried hard to laugh, but I couldn't.
Kagami stared blankly at the pale hands in front of him that had taken an unknown number of weapons and stabbed into the bodies of an unknown number of people.
It turns out that unconsciously, my memory is full of his shadow......
He was dressed in white, he was in armor, he was ruthless, and he was helpless and embarrassed.
This...... What kind of?
Kagami felt the need to recite the Heart Purifying Mantra again.
She was in a trance until a hand bobbed up and down in front of her eyes that shook her back to her senses.
"Hey!"
"You," the scholar looked at the mirror that reacted, raised his eyebrows, and said in a very unbeaten tone, "Do you know that your expression just now looks like an ordinary Sichun girl?"
Think...... Spring: What kind of reaction do little girls have when they talk about friends?
How could it be! Mirror's face, which had always been as cold as ice, turned red in an instant. She blinked her eyelashes, trying to suppress the emotions surging in her eyes.
However, the thought of himself makes me happy.
But that's just Mirror's inner thoughts. At this moment, when she heard what the scholar said, she had already quickly said that the different colors on her face had converged, as usual.
"It's cute, but I don't know what you're thinking. The scholar sighed, still thinking about the scarlet on Jing Qingxiu's face just now.
"Don't mention it. Jing said lightly, her face was as ancient as a statue again, "How will I find you in the future?"
The scholar glanced at her, and shook the fan lightly, "I will follow you." If you want to find me, go to the teahouse, and I will tell you every city you go. ”
"Alright," the scholar said slowly, looking at the sun that was about to run to the middle of the sky, "It's not too early, you go back, or your general will be suspicious." ”
"By the way," Jing suddenly remembered something, turned back to the scholar and asked anxiously, "You ran out so grandly, will Shao Nian not find out?"
"Don't worry, my strength is on par with him, he can't detect it, and besides, I have found a stand-in," the scholar looked like he was in control of everything, "and he wouldn't deliberately pay attention to a dusty scholar." ”
After listening to the scholar's words, Jing remembered the problem of cultivation. She closed her eyes and probed carefully, only to find that the scholar's body was like nothingness, and she couldn't see anything, as if he was just an ordinary person, which was the real horror.
Completely hiding his strength, how strong is this cultivation? According to the scholar's own words, his cultivation is probably around the peak of the Seventh Heaven.
It's no wonder that the mirror will be easily caught by him when he is in a combat state, you know, if the scholar wanted to kill her before, he would have used a knife to kill her on the spot anytime and anywhere.
"Then, goodbye," Jing looked at the scholar with a more vigilant gaze at this time, no longer completely trusting, "I will come to you when I need to." ”
She turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by a voice behind her.
"Finally, let me tell you, you have to remember one thing, you are in the dark, you are in the dark, your identity must not be exposed, if it is exposed, then I will also be exposed," the scholar's deep voice floated from behind, "As for me, you don't have to worry. ”
The mirror stopped and listened quietly, but did not look back.
"One last thing,"
The scholar's voice suddenly took on a hint of mystery.
Then there was a long silence, during which only the sound of the wind and the distant noise could be heard.
"What?" Jing didn't hear the scholar's next words for a long time, and finally turned around and said, "What are you going to say?"
Immediately, her eyes were filled with a face full of anticipation: "Call Senior Brother to listen~"
The mirror froze, and suddenly began to cough, obviously enduring something, and only after half a sound did he hold back a sentence extremely dryly: "Master...... Elder brother. ”
A smile was so big that it was exaggerated on the face in front of him: "That's right." Then he picked up the fan and knocked on his hand, "Let's go, it's good to go!"
Jing's originally calm mood was completely disturbed by that senior brother. However, it seems that calling Senior Brother ...... It's normal, but why do you feel so nauseous?
Behind him, the scholar opened the folding fan and shook it, his clothes fluttered lightly, and his face was a little unpredictable. He said to himself, "Sora, I can only help your sister get here." ”
