Chapter 20: Prelude to the Decisive Battle

“…… It is a woman's nature to love beauty. ”

Chen Mengyuan's answer was beyond Qi Gao's expectations, at first Qi Gao thought that Chen Mengyuan would say something like "your own strength is the most powerful", but he didn't think of a reason......

Spit and complain, Qi Gao didn't think that was really the reason why Chen Mengyuan didn't make sacrifices.

"What's the harm of sacrificing?"

"Except for the usual sealing, there are no other disadvantages, and it can be said to be a pretty good skill." Chen Mengyuan paused, "However, you can become stronger without sacrificing, why use it?" ”

"This ......"

It seems to make sense, but why does it give people the feeling of eating cake without bread?

It's because it's not strong enough that I have to sacrifice, and I already have the strength, why do I have to sacrifice? Enough to hold on?

"There's still a lot of time to do it anyway, so it's never too late to think about it. Moreover, now that it has been revoked, can't you just get it when you want it in the future? Chen Mengyuan persuaded him.

"It seems to be." Qi Gao nodded.

"However, the abilities obtained from each sacrifice are different, and if the abilities you gain from this sacrifice are very special or powerful, it is recommended that you keep them."

"Hmm."

Qi Gao is not a fool either, if his ability is really strong, he doesn't mind sacrificing an eye.

"By the way, isn't there another oracle four?"

"A gift from God? That one is completely lost, and there is no point in saying it. ”

"Tell me? It's also good to increase your knowledge. After listening to Chen Mengyuan's words, Qi Gao became more interested in the gift of the gods.

"The gift of the gods, legend has it that it is a miracle technique, after using it...... Hmm, the effect is similar to a wishing machine. ”

"Isn't this too powerful?" Qi Gao said incredulously.

"It's just similar, because this skill can cause many incredible miracles, called miracle skills, such as flat mountain reclamation, waterfall countercurrent, resurrection from the dead, etc., I heard that you can do it."

The more Chen Mengyuan spoke, the more exaggerated it became, and later, Qi Gao couldn't help but shake his head, "It's impossible to have this kind of skill." ”

"It is true that there is this skill, and this skill is also very powerful, but it has been lost, and those effects are just legends, and no one knows the real effect at all."

“…… It's a pity that such a powerful skill. Qi Gao couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm sitting a little numb, so let's stop today's lesson." Chen Mengyuan stood up and stretched.

Qi Gao also stood up, although his body was still a little soft, but there was no big problem.

"Goodbye."

After waving goodbye to Chen Mengyuan, Qi Gao suddenly remembered that he didn't have enough money to take the car. Just wanted to open his mouth to keep Chen Mengyuan, looked around, where is there still Chen Mengyuan's shadow?

"Well, that's going too fast, isn't it?"

There was no way, Qi Gao had to walk home.

……

Late at night, on the quiet streets of Namwon City, a man in casual clothes stood quietly with his hands in his trouser pockets and against the wall.

From the shadows came footsteps, getting closer and closer, until a black girl in a trench coat came from the darkness and stopped a dozen meters away from the man.

Chen Mengyuan's pupils reflected Yang Huacheng's figure, looking at the blood stains on his body, he said coldly: "Is it so interesting to torture and kill innocent people?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's funny or not, it's just that there are reasons why you have to do it." Yang Huacheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"It's not helpful to say more." Chen Mengyuan interrupted Yang Huacheng's words, "Let's choose a place." ”

"The supermarket that is being demolished and rebuilt, you should know." Yang Huacheng said.

"It's a good place to be." Chen Mengyuan took a step, passed by Yang Huacheng, and walked forward.

Yang Huacheng's tense body did not relax a little until Chen Mengyuan walked away ten meters, and when Chen Mengyuan was twenty meters away from him, he picked up the red spear from behind him and followed behind Chen Mengyuan.

There was no speech, no communication between the two, and a distance of twenty meters was maintained.

Chen Mengyuan lifted his feet, Yang Huacheng lifted his feet, Chen Mengyuan stepped down, Yang Huacheng stepped down, and there was almost no difference between the two.

Walking through the store, through the fork in the road, and in the downtown area, the two of them are like people outside the world, out of place with their surroundings, as if they have been forgotten by the world.

Standing next to the red light, on the sidewalk, Chen Mengyuan, who was wearing a windbreaker, and Yang Huacheng, who was carrying a spear, stood with everyone, without enchantment, without using the power of the gods, the two of them stood in the crowd like that, so weirdly blended with the crowd, but unexpectedly did not cause the slightest commotion.

The red light turned green, and with the crowd, the two crossed the street.

Continuing to walk on the street, there was still silence between the two, and just when they thought it would continue, Chen Mengyuan's words were like stones, causing ripples on the silent lake.

"What do you think of the city?"

"......" Yang Huacheng did not answer Chen Mengyuan's question.

Chen Mengyuan didn't care, and continued in a reminiscent tone: "I love this city very much, and my love for it is deeper than you think. ”

"So the first worshipper I want to destroy is you." Yang Huacheng said.

"Do you think I'm guarding the city?" Chen Mengyuan smiled, not knowing whether he was laughing at the other party's ignorance or his own hypocrisy, "When that day comes, I must be the first to hold the butcher's knife." ”

“…… Why are you talking to me about this? ”

"Because I'm curious, why are devotees of God worshippers? What do we believe in? ”

“…… Your question is very similar to that of the almsgivists. ”

"Hehe, Shi Disciple?" Chen Mengyuan smiled, "He's just a pathetic guy." ”

"Pathetic? If he's pathetic, aren't you too? ”

"So, you don't know him, you don't know why he's pathetic." Chen Mengyuan raised his head and looked into the distance, "So, when you are afraid of him, afraid of him, and admire him, in my eyes, he is nothing more than that." ”

"Does it make sense?" Yang Huacheng looked directly at Chen Mengyuan's back and said, "You say this, do you want to show how strong you are?" How am I weak? How stupid are you to challenge? ”

"I think so." Chen Mengyuan did not deny the other party's statement, "If you regret it now, it's still too late to return to Longyao with me." ”

“…… Don't be too arrogant. ”

"You are no longer qualified to be a worshipper of God."

"I said it! Don't be too arrogant! Yang Huacheng's tone was filled with boundless anger.

"If you can't even understand what we believe in and why we are called gods, even if you win the duel and kill me, nothing will change the result."

"Don't act like you know everything,...... I've been, there's no going back. ”

“…… Do you think I'll be sad when I hear your story? Will it sympathize with you? Suddenly, Chen Mengyuan asked a strange question.

"......" Yang Huacheng couldn't understand what Chen Mengyuan meant.

"I'm just a person, a young girl in the prime of my life, and after listening to your story and knowing why you did it, I will be sad, and I will sympathize, there is no doubt about it." At this time, Chen Mengyuan's tone suddenly changed, "So, when I held the sword at you, you were just a guy who killed people for fun in my eyes." ”

"Hahaha, hahaha, haha......" After listening to Chen Mengyuan's words, Yang Huacheng laughed heartily, "Yes, why did I do this?" What have I done? None of this matters, what matters is - I'm in your way. ”

“…… I don't care what you do in other cities. ”

"Humph!" Yang Huacheng snorted coldly.

"You seem to hate us? Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's going to end. Chen Mengyuan looked into the distance and said.

What Chen Mengyuan looked at was really the decisive battle place between her and Yang Huacheng.

Inside a private house in Namwon City.

Qi Gao opened his eyes slowly, this day, he slept too much, so although it was late at night, he was full of energy and couldn't sleep at all.

I turned on the light and blinked, and my eyes were back to normal. Sure enough, as Chen Mengyuan said, the left eye was already healed, but with the recovery of the nerve in the left eye, a faint tingling pain began to come again, fortunately, compared with the pain at noon, it was too pediatric.

It's just, it's a bit of a hassle that I can see things with my left eye...... How to say, I can see things more clearly than my right eye, but I always feel a little abnormal, as if it is hazy, as if my eyes are covered with a layer of mist. I wiped my glasses with force, but the mist still didn't go away.

"Hopefully it's psychological."

Qi Gao got up, went to the bathroom, and after a simple wash of his face, he observed his eyes, especially his left eye, on the mirror in the bathroom.

Both eyes have varying degrees of redness and swelling, and the eyelids are also slightly damaged. Originally, the left eye was supposed to be more serious, after all, the left eye was the most painful, and the right eye only started to hurt later. However, the reality is the opposite, the right eye is much more serious than the left eye.

"Is this the power of sacrifice? It is no wonder that from noon to now, in less than ten hours, even the burned nerves have healed, and it is normal for the redness, swelling and wounds to heal quickly. ”

Qi Gao looked closely at the mirror again, especially the left eye, and finally, he noticed the anomaly, and found the biggest difference between the two eyes.

"What's going on?"

Qi Gao used his fingers to spread the eyelid of his left eye so that he could look more closely at his left eye.

"How so? There is no reflection in the pupil of the left eye? ”

Every time he made a mistake, after Qi Gao observed carefully, he found that there was no reflection in his left eye, only a black cloud.

If you don't notice it, it's nothing, but when you notice it, you will obviously notice that the left eye is very different from the right eye, the left eye is like a dead man's eye, dark and terrifying.

"It's nothing if you're blind, but how did your eyes become like this, this is just the first step, and will it become a terrifying eye in the future? The kind that has become completely invisible? ”

If it's a hand, a foot, or a hidden place on his body, it's just that, but these eyes are on the face, and if he continues to sacrifice, won't he become a one-eyed dragon in the future? Or the kind that you have to wrap in bandages all day.

"No, it must be revoked. It's not two-dimensional, it's not handsome in the first place, and you have to get a bandage, isn't that looking for death? ”

Silently, Qi Gao made up his mind.

Back in the room, Qi Gao opened the window, and the cool wind blew in his face, feeling a lot more refreshing.

"Tomorrow I will find the eldest sister and ask her to revoke this sacrifice. Hey! …… What is that? ”

When Qi Gao was silently in a daze, Qi Gao saw some strange scenes, in Nanyuan City, there were two faint gases, just like the scene when the anime characters emitted gas.

One is purple, giving people a sense of nobility, and the other is purple and black, giving people a sense of evil and distortion. Moreover, those two "qis" are constantly moving, and the speed is about the same as that of a human walking.

"What's that? Why am I seeing this? ”

Qi Gao thought that this might be related to his left eye, so he tried it, closed his right eye, then opened his right eye, closed his left eye, and found that only his left eye could see those "qi".

"Why isn't there in other places, it's there, and it's still two? It is estimated that it is related to the worshippers of the gods, maybe those are emitted by the worshippers, if so, the purple noble ones should be the worshippers of the gods, and the black and evil ones are soul beasts? ”

Qi Gao whispered softly, "But, if that's the case, how can black and purple be entangled together to form a single strand?" Can it still be half soul beast and half god worshipper? ”

Although he didn't know what those things represented, Qi Gao knew that it was definitely related to the worshippers.

Qi Gao remembered that Chen Mengyuan had said that Chen Mengyuan had seen less than ten worshippers, and Chen Mengyuan had been a worshipper for five years. It is estimated that many of the worshippers she has seen are not in Nanyuan City, so Qi Gao speculated that there should be less than five worshippers in Nanyuan City.

And now, it is very likely that there are two worshippers walking together, one of them has a high chance of being Chen Mengyuan, and the other is Yang Huacheng? Even if not, what are they going to do?

The irrepressible curiosity made Qi Gao walk out of the house and walk in the direction where the two "qi" were.
