Chapter 139 The Present World at This Moment
Nothing could compare to Lu Xiyuan's speed, and since the result of this ability, he has become more and more handy. This cool-looking man who has never changed for the actions of his classmates has now begun to enjoy the thrill of handling tasks, more because he has fallen in love with the ability he has scavenged from the carpet for 300 yuan.
Today, as usual, even if it is not a National Day holiday, Lu Xiyuan will still run through the dark alleys for this new job. It's just that at this moment, his enemy has changed from a gangster who once threatened him to a demon who is far from being human, although it is a bit unexpected, but the fact that Lu Xiyuan is now fighting the demon as a [magician] is irresistible.
After the day he ran out of the alley with Lin Aili, his night began to serve his master who was extremely visible in his dreams. That guy always wears a black cloak, and there is no gap in his body, it is he who gave Lu Xiyuan superpowers, and it is he who makes Lu Xiyuan his current identity and fights in order to collect something.
This man called himself Gast, and it was very strange that Gast always appeared when Lu Xiyuan looked like he was in a trance, as if he was in a hallucination, as if the real world could not accommodate this black shadow. He led Lu Xiyuan to a certain location in the city that night, and although Lu Xiyuan ran away from home with fear and uneasiness, he resolutely followed when he realized that he had the ability to deal with it and the strength to resist.
It was the first time Lu Xiyuan fought as a new self, and after Lu Xiyuan originally rushed to a corner of the city, the scenery here magically changed and distorted, and a beautiful scenery was completely displayed in front of Lu Xiyuan. Even if he had never seen such a beautiful scenery at all, when the sickle appeared in his hand again, the moment his power burst out, Lu Xiyuan was enough to use his feelings as the oil of the machine to volatilize and fight.
After that day, Lu Xiyuan continued to visit every corner of the city. Every time he set foot in the area, the location magically became a completely unfamiliar scene, and there was always a monster waiting to be defeated. As it happens, at the end of a battle, he can collect a small but shimmering fragment, like an ice flower in winter.
After handing over to GAST, it is obvious that Lu Xiyuan will receive the blessing of GAST. The blessing from this mysterious man can not only help Lu Xiyuan improve his ability in battle, but also make combat more handy; At the same time, it will also make Lu Xiyuan's life no longer simply rely on human instincts, Lu Xiyuan has a long-term mental strength that can withstand long-term insomnia and staying up late, and a large amount of mental power also makes Lu Xiyuan himself full of energy and no hunger.
For this gift, or something else, in short, Lu Xiyuan escaped from the house again tonight. Although I don't know what I'm going to face next. But the gps-like premonition in his mind greatly reminded him to get to the designated location. In short, the experience of many battles had taught Lu Xiyuan how to deal with the sudden change of destination and the emergence of strong enemies, he did not worry about his fate at all, and he never knew that what Gast had not told him was the great danger of this mission.
The teenager with excitement and anticipation once again rushed into the darkness. The blessings of the previous gast greatly increased Lu Xiyuan's foot strength and physical fitness, and thanks to this, Lu Xiyuan also broke the recent long-distance running record of the school. Of course, the location of this time was only known after arriving, and it was a park.
With the wide and clear Xuanwu Lake as a backdrop, this park still shines in the moonlight, but only Lu Xiyuan can see such beautiful scenery. Then. The moon in the sky twisted strangely, and the moon in the middle of the sky seemed to pour into the lake, and its light and silhouette swayed gently with the wind. Lu Xiyuan, who was staring at the moonlight, soon found that the grass and trees around him were also twisted and trembling because of this.
This dizzying and terrifying world has no effect on Lu Xiyuan himself at all, because this change has happened many times, not so much fear. Lu Xiyuan is even more looking forward to this change and the rewards after this.
When the light and shadow were completely blurred, Lu Xiyuan just blinked his eyes again, and what appeared in front of him was the boundless darkness and the biting cold current. The scene is slightly different from other times. Although Lu Xiyuan has always thought that this scene is fake, the current one qiē makes people believe that it is true.
It seems that this ice and snow, as if this freezing cold air is a real image that really exists. He had no idea how famous this place was in the Otherworld, an iceberg that sealed angels and demons.
The coolness that filled his whole body made Lu Xiyuan quickly take action, although he had this experience a few times before. But this time, the enemy seems to have been holding his ground for quite long, and it seems that the enemy is hiding far away and is not in a hurry to show his abilities.
Run. Rapid, oncoming snowflakes. Although Lu Xiyuan insisted on telling himself that this was just an enchantment set by GAST to facilitate the battle, the sincerity of this trip made him feel helpless. He couldn't discern the right direction at all, and he didn't know where the enemy was, and this time the opponent made Lu Xiyuan, who had always been skilled, become under a lot of pressure. For the first time, he realized that he had only mastered a small part of this world, and he was unprepared to set foot in another world that had nothing to do with life just for the sake of simple sweetness.
He didn't stop running, and with every foot he lifted he could feel the snowdrift trying to hold on to himself; He didn't stop thinking, the darkness and silence made his life stagnate, and a large number of thoughts poured into his brain in an instant, and the feasibility of his original hot head and refusal to think was severely hit by this young man who was not deeply involved in the world at this moment.
"How much longer can I hold out?" The words that came out of his own mouth frightened him himself, and because of the darkness and loneliness, he magnified his movement a thousand times over, and returned it to the fragile heart of the young man. Cold sweat and shock hit at the same time, forcing Lu Xiyuan's feet to slip, his body seemed to have lost the support of the ground in front of him, and in the darkness he could feel that his front foot had not even stepped on the snowdrift.
The young man's body completely lost its support and began to fall in a darker direction, and for a moment, when the impact of his heart like a beat to his throat occurred, Lu Xiyuan's mind was thinking about Lin Aili's slender and sparse back and her supple shawl straight hair. Because of this simple thought, the boy finally found a purpose worthy of his life in the aimless darkness. He bravely stretched out his arm and clasped with all his strength the rock wall in a direction that he could not see at all, and he refused, refused to accept death and oblivion. Reject despair and inaction for the future.
Just as the boy's success was becoming visible and his struggles were beginning to take effect, it seemed that more rays of hope had been lit up, shining as if they were about to blind him. But at this moment, something from the abyss below grabbed the climbing torso, like a tentacle, completely undetectable by the teenager but with a strong attraction, it twitched viciously, grasping and shrinking to drag.
In the end, when the power of a qiē is consumed to ashes, when the hope of a qiē becomes a vanished. The boy let go of his hands sadly, he didn't have enough strength to argue with Cunzài somewhere in the abyss. Compared with his own strength, the boy realized that under the deep cliff was the enemy's location. And if you can't escape the clutches of your opponent by all means, then let the battle come quickly. It's like the terrible exam that can be completed in half a day. It's just as annoying to occupy the morning and afternoon of the whole day in vain.
After letting go of his hands, Lu Xiyuan, who was falling rapidly, changed the posture of his body, and he needed to face it instead of bear it. So with a decisive turn in the air, his head poked out for the darker and more distant Being, his eyes waiting to see more quickly who was waiting for him and could cause such a great darkness.
But after a long journey, he still can't wait for the long-lost ground. If you hit your face on the ground, won't it fall into a pie? Lu Xiyuan, who was thinking like this, saw the light below, maybe only a faint light, but it was extremely dazzling.
Finally, with a pop, Lu Xiyuan ended the long process of falling, and his body was very lucky to burrow into the cold water at the bottom of the abyss. Lu Xiyuan, who was rapidly upstream, let his head out of the water, and he saw that the light source was in the center of the bottom of the water source. In this large cylindrical straight pit, the bottom is water, and in the center of the water is ice floes.
Lu Xiyuan, who had climbed onto the ice floe with difficulty, was already a little numb from the cold. Although he didn't feel too uncomfortable for some reason, the biting cold snap still took a hard beating. The ice floe is not large, only a few square meters, but in the very center there is a towering and sharp ice crystal, which is smooth and translucent and reaches into the zenith.
The light came from a figure deep inside, to be precise. It was a man in a purple robe. Although his half-closed eyes seemed leisurely and quiet, the pair of goat demon horns on his head that resembled a human reminder could not be ignored by Lu Xiyuan.
This is the devil. However, it has been subdued and sealed. So this time's mission is
"Break the ice floes to get shards, and the mission is enough." Gast, who originally only appeared in a dream, resolutely stood behind Lu Xiyuan at this moment, and only here his figure seemed so complete and clear.
"But why? Am I not trying to defeat the demons? Am I not a magician? Why do you want to release him again, and what does this mean" Lu Xiyuan was very glad that the man behind him did not hide his thoughts at all.
Gast uttered all the words as if he were confessing: "You are indeed a magician, Lu Xiyuan." But the scythe I gave you wasn't meant to make you appear as a sanction against demons and darkness. I just need a reliable guy to help me collect the shards from my rebirth. I, Gast, was on the verge of death, as I said when we first met. And the only way to save is to defeat the processes I have been through in my life, the illusions of the past and the search for the lost fragments of my mind from the lands of the past. I also said that you will give you your wish when you have collected it, and this is the place where I fell at this moment, and you must imitate all the experiences in my life to retrieve all the qiē, including this"
"You mean you helped the demon destroy the seal in your lifetime?"
"No one is born to know everything, and I have been blinded by moments. You must do so, or all the work will be wasted, and if I don't get the fragments to replenish before the power that brought you into this illusion is gone, you will die. ”
"No choice?" Lu Xiyuan looked at Gast, but he didn't read the man's true thoughts, only nodded in response, so Lu Xiyuan knew his mission.
