Chapter 24: You Forgot Me Again
Late at night, I walked down a long street without a few lights, and the street was already covered with snow, and the hard stone slabs were exposed, and a thin layer of snow rolled down the roof by the cold wind...... In the middle of the dimly lit street, there stood a tall black figure who seemed to be at the same distance from me all along, about ten paces, whether I walked forward or backward......
I didn't want to cause trouble, so I flew up to the roof and prepared to leave, but the shadow appeared at the same distance in front of me, standing on the roof, mixed with the chaos of the night, looming.
"Who are you? Why are you in my way? "I'm vigilant and ready to strike.
"Disobedient children will be skinned and bone-stripped...... the voice was soft, but it was like a thorn that haunted his ears, to be exact, like a ghost......
"I don't know you, what you said is even more inexplicable, you have found the wrong person!"
"You didn't give me what I wanted, and I took back what I wanted......"
"What a mess! If you don't go, I'll do it! "I threatened him, though I didn't know what my chances were.
At this moment, a green wolf ran towards me, and the black shadow disappeared instantly, and the green wolf threw me off its back and galloped south..... Its huge body brought a gust of wind, the snow on the eaves and trees on the ground was rolled up, as if the snow was falling backwards, the lanterns lit on the streets fell to the ground or were trampled by it, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and we passed through the cities like dead cities......
"Where are you taking me?" I asked aloud as I grabbed the blue ears of the blue wolf. At this time, I seemed to see white jade in a corner of the ground......
The green wolf roared, and all the snow in front of it was shaken off both sides, and a clean road was paved at its feet......
The green wolf went all the way south, and the green wolf jumped past Zhaoqing City, and under the cold moonlight, I saw the female corpses scattered in the city...... Give me the illusion that all the young women in Zhaoqing are dead...... And they were like they had no relatives, because I only saw the body, but I didn't see anyone next to it...... At this time, three colored luanbirds flew past my ears, and before I could react, I was tied to the wings of the luanbird from the back of the blue wolf......
I pulled out the dagger on my waist and stabbed it at the heart of the bird, but they played a game of kicking the ball with me in the air, their wings were strong and powerful to push me away, my dagger could not pierce them, the strength of the body remained balanced in the air, I wanted to find a place to stay, the other bird stretched out its long golden beak and stabbed at me, I was about to cut off its beak with the dagger, but the other bird took the opportunity to peck my hand...... I was kicked in the air by them, little by little...... The three birds were guarded, and I didn't have a room to escape, after all, they were three pairs of wings, and I only had two arms...... The blue wolf only stopped and looked at the bird, and then continued to walk away, like a bystander...... Didn't it drag me south? How did it run away on its own and not save me......
The three birds drove me into an empty house, I landed heavily, my hand was not withdrawn in time, I broke my right arm, I held the dagger in my left hand, and stood up with difficulty, at this moment, I felt pain, but the pain was only a moment, my puppet-like body seemed to be accustomed to pain in an instant.
The three birds landed and turned into three young women......
"Who are you, and what did you bring me here for?"
Three women approached me with angry expressions: "Ungrateful thing! They dragged me closer to the palace in front of me, and from time to time there was a blue-white glow like thunder.
I struggled, my fingers almost piercing their arms, but as if they didn't feel it, they threw me out of the palace and closed the door......
As soon as I entered the palace, I tripped over something stiff under my feet, and my head hit a hot stone-like thing, and when I looked up, it was a man's bosom...... The bones in his arms were clear, like a skeleton in human skin...... I fixed my eyes on the face of the person in front of me, although his face was thin and unshapely, but I could still see that he had an unworldly color, there was a faint white floating light in his black eyes, he stretched out his hand like dead wood and touched my face, I jerked back, but one fell to the ground with a stagger, my hand unintentionally touched a cold head, I looked back, I was lying on a female corpse, I hurriedly got up, looked around the whole palace, there were no less than thirty female corpses lying in the empty room...... They had been drained of blood, their blood vessels shriveled and their skin sunken, like the bark of a tree cracked.......
I stepped back, leaning against the gate, but I found that the palace had already been arranged in a cage-like formation, and it was not easy to escape, and I had no clue at all......
The tall man stood up, he was dressed in white and his chest was exposed, his black hair hung down like water, but it had lost its luster, and at this moment, the candle flame on the palace menorah was lit, and all the fear hidden in the darkness came into view, his pale skin, his eyes like the abyss, and the tragic death of the maiden at his feet, he did not look like a good man. I'm not pitying them, but I don't want to be one of them. I grabbed the dagger with my left hand and stabbed him in the chest, but he grabbed my left wrist with his withered hand, and as soon as he exerted his strength, my left hand suddenly lost strength, and the dagger fell at his feet......
He approached me with a slight frown, my right arm could not be raised, but my left hand could not be removed from him, he was so thin and weak, but still stronger than me......
"Do you want to kill me again?" He asked in a low voice.
"Kill you? I killed a lot of people today, which one are you? "I saw that his mood was relaxed, so I planned to have a good chat with him so that I could let me out, after all, I still have to go back to the stone castle to report to Bai Yu.
He ripped off my mask, glanced at my chest, and was a little angry: "What about Tai Sui?" ”
"Tai Sui? Is it a person, or a thing? If you are looking for someone to find something, it is better not to ask me, I have a bad memory, and I will forget it. "I try to show sincerity in my eyes, and I have a better chance of surviving when I meet a demon who whispers his breath.
"You....... Forgot me again? ”
He seemed to know me, but I didn't remember him at all, he was no different from the corpses lying on the ground, I couldn't remember their faces, and I couldn't tell if he was in my memory.
"I don't know you."
At this time, a luan bird flew down from the beam of the house and turned into a woman in green clothes, she walked behind the man and said angrily: "Master, she ruined the skin of the young man...... If you have lost this identity, you will not be able to stay in the human race for long. If you leave the Terrans, you will be tormented by the fire of the sun, and it will only be more painful! This girl can cure you, and this may be your only chance to recover......."
"I'm sick and worn, and I've become a burden to you?" The man said, glancing behind him.
"......No," the woman wanted to explain, but I saw that the man didn't have the heart to listen anymore.
He stared at me, and with a slight anger drove away the bird.
There was silence in the palace, and the slight flow of his breath slowly flowed over the tip of my nose, and it was piping hot......
"I have killed all the people on earth, and I have killed countless more in the past thousand years......" He was revealing his crimes, his eyes mournful, as if I really owed him a lot......
"I put on someone else's skin and stepped on someone else's identity, just to live, because I am afraid that one day you will encounter danger again, and you need me, but I can't do anything for you....... I planted Tai Sui in your heart, I wanted to save your life, but I didn't expect it to become a reason for others to use you...... I was also helpless back then, I didn't mean to sacrifice you......" He looked at me with guilt, but I was confused and didn't know what he was doing.
Suddenly he became unwilling, he hugged my face tightly, and said unwillingly: "Why, you can connect with his dreams by mistake, but forget me again and again......."
"I can remember you, will you let me go?" I asked him, confused.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly angry, and his withered hand fell on top of my head, and my blood flowed into his palm.
"What should I do with you......" His chest was hot, and there was helplessness and unwillingness in his eyes, and I could hear the slight rattle of the knuckles of his hand on top of my head.
"My vitality can be given to you, and blood can also be given to you, but if you want to spare my life, I have to go back and tell Bai Yu that the king of Northern Chu has agreed to her southern expedition."
"Huh...... The southern expedition will be defeated. He said confidently. At this moment, I suddenly felt weak, collapsed in his arms, and in a daze, I saw a female corpse stand up, she stiffly picked up the silver mask that fell to the ground, and put it on her face.
