Chapter 15: The First Meeting

The wind was strong, and the trees bobbed their heads.

However, in the forest, it is not so intuitive.

Du Bo looked up and said to Bai Xiruo from a distance.

"Magister, it's still early, so it stands to reason that we can make another journey. Our children were somewhat injured, and Ye Qing's child was even more unconscious. We're going to stay here overnight, I don't know what you're going to do? ”

Bai Xiruo looked at Ye Feng and saw that he didn't say anything, so he replied.

"Aren't you going to the Elven Kingdom too? It just so happens that we are on the way, why don't we join us? ”

This was agreed with the children before, and Bai Xiruo did not forget it.

"Okay, Magister, do you need a mattress? We just have a surplus on our side. At first glance, you just don't travel for long, and you don't even bring anything. ”

Bai Xiruo smiled a little embarrassedly and said.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Du."

After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Ye Feng.

Take a look, take a look.

That's what it's like to travel from home.

There was only one set of more mattresses, and Ye Feng naturally gave it to Bai Xiruo.

Maybe it was because he was too tired today, Bai Xiruo almost fell asleep with his head tilted.

――――――――――――――

The breeze caresses and the falling flowers are colorful.

Bai Xiruo held his forehead and slowly walked on this somewhat familiar road.

Where is this?

The familiar cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road, the cement road under his feet, and the modern buildings that can be seen when he looks up all make Bai Xiruo's psychology happy.

Am I back again?

Grabbed a strand of his hair and looked at it.

Black.

So, I'm really back?

A hint of surprise flashed across Bai Xiruo's face.

At this time, a confident voice came from ahead.

"Ruoruo, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"

This voice is familiar.

Bai Xiruo's footsteps couldn't help but be faster.

Turning a corner, I saw Chen Hao kneeling on one knee, holding flowers in his hand, expressing his love to a girl.

I'll go! This guy isn't there, right? I've only been away for a day and Nima has found a new love?!

Bai Xiruo was angry and rushed forward, wanting to see the girl's appearance clearly.

But after walking a few steps, I froze!

That girl's face turned out to be exactly like herself!

What the hell is going on?!

"Smack!"

With a clear snap of his fingers, time seemed to stop with this loud sound. The petals that were still falling were frozen in the air.

"It seems that this scene is the best memory in your mind."

A cold and casual male voice sounded in Bai Xiruo's ears, and when he looked up again, he saw a man with blue hair and blue eyes standing in front of him. And the girl who was exactly the same as herself just now, as well as Chen Hao, all disappeared.

Bai Xiruo reacted instantly and exclaimed.

"You're a soul master?!"

"It's not too stupid."

The soul master smiled slightly.

"When we met for the first time, my name was Bai Xiruo."

"Hey, my name is Bai Xiruo, you don't know!"

"So, how about a different name? Why don't I call you Ruoruo? ”

"And what do I call you? Xiaobai?! ”

"Oh, that's fine."

Bai Xiruo pouted, and accepted it so naturally, such a dog name, hey!

"Where is this?"

Bai Xiruo was puzzled.

"In your dreams. We didn't see each other for long, so I had to cut it short. ”

The soul master raised his hand, pinched a petal that was frozen in the air, and said slowly.

"Do you know what you're going through right now? The adults were actually a group of ghast-believing people, and they had an aura about them that I was familiar with. If I'm not mistaken, those children are the sacrifice they will give to the ghasts at midnight tomorrow. Therefore I advise you to stay away from them early tomorrow morning. ”

"What do you say?! Sacrifice?! ”

Bai Xiruo's eyes widened, and he looked at the soul master incredulously for a while before he said.

"Xiaobai, why did you ask me to leave? Those kids are innocent! They're still so young, and that girl is still a magician! Aren't you supernatural? Do you have a way to save them? ”

Hearing this, the soul master said seriously.

"First of all, I want to tell you that I'm in your world right now, and it's just a dream. Even if I could kill that ghast by rubbing my fingers, I wouldn't be able to help you. ”

"Secondly, please put away the so-called compassion of your world, humanity. I don't deny that it's good to have compassion, but at the very least, keep yourself safe. ”

"You can't even use the magic power in my body, what are you going to do with that ghast?"

The pause time, the petals that stagnated in mid-air, made Bai Xiruo feel as if the air was stagnant.

"No, no, I can't do it!" Bai Xiruo looked at the soul master and finally said such a paragraph.

"Maybe you're used to being ruthless, you're used to seeing life and death, and you've even killed so many people with your own hands! But me! I am a human being who grew up in our world, and I admit that I have compassion and I am overflowing with compassion! But I've never seen death, even if it's the death of my grandparents, it's a natural death, they are dying! But, those children, they are still so young, I can't do it, I really can't do it! Watch them die."

"If so, can I describe you in one word from you?"

“?”

"If you don't do it, you won't die."

Is this Nima a word?!

Bai Xiruo touched the tears that flowed at some point and said firmly.

"Tell me how."

The soul master chuckled and flicked his fingers in the air. The frozen petals in the air flew again.

"You can use my blood against it if necessary, but be careful not to touch its eyes too much"

There were more and more petals, slowly covering Bai Xiruo's eyes.

Bai Xiruo raised his hand to block it, but he woke up from his dream at once.

In the distance, there was a bonfire that was still burning, and Ye Feng, who had been keeping vigil, noticed her awakening and said.

"Dreaming?"

Bai Xiruo's way.

"Well, the soul master gave me a dream."

Although the soul master is still alive, she should be right to say this, right?

Obviously, Ye Feng didn't understand what she meant, so he asked.

"Dream?"

"It's just that the two of us just met in a dream."

"Did the Soul Master explain anything?"

He said.

Bai Xiruo glanced not far away, where the group of adults were sleeping, and pointed at them. Then he lowered his voice and whispered.

He said that the group of adults were believers in ghasts. Tomorrow at midnight, they will sacrifice the children to the ghast. And let us stay away from them early in the morning. ”

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said.

"Then we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Bai Xiruo was angry and said.

"Why did you listen to that soul master so much?! Why don't you want to think about what will happen to those children if we leave? They're going to die! ”

Ye Feng was silent.

Bai Xiruo continued.

"If you don't go, you can. If you don't go, I'll go. ”

Ye Feng frowned and said.

"Since the Soul Master said that we are not allowed to go, there must be a certain danger, we"

Bai Xiruo was relieved when he heard Ye Feng, and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, the soul master also told me how to deal with that evil spirit, at the critical moment, just let some blood out. Also, don't look into the eyes of the ghast. Besides, from the soul master's tone, I could tell that these were all his guesses. Perhaps, it was simply that he thought too much. Well, that's it, I'll sleep! ”

After speaking, Bai Xiruo didn't wait for Ye Feng's reaction, and lay down again with his head covered.

Ye Feng kept frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

――――――――――――

Earth, inside the restroom of a residential building.

The soul master, dressed in pajamas, was splashing his face with water.

He looked up at the pale face in the mirror.

"It's still too reluctant, cough!"

With a soft cough, a trail of blood slipped from the corner of his mouth. Raising his hand and wiping it off without care, looking at the woman in the mirror doing the same action as himself, the soul master chuckled.

"Stupid woman. Even if I don't tell you the way, you'll still go, you earthlings' compassion is really an unguessable thing, but, that thing, you can't afford to provoke."
