Chapter 158: Reunion (Part II)
"You said you were lonely," the smile on the girl's face gradually retracted, she lowered her head and looked at Zhuo Xuan's ankles, with some unspeakable loneliness on her face, "So, if you want, come with me." ”
Walk, where to go?
Zhuo Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something to ease the atmosphere, but those words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out after all. He looked at the girl who seemed to have made some kind of decision, and a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The girl raised her head suddenly, as if she had heard his thoughts, and slowly showed a reluctant smile: "Let's go to the place that belongs to us." ”
A hint of vigilance suddenly appeared in Zhuo Xuan's heart, and he took a step back, having difficulty understanding what the girl said.
At this time, he suddenly remembered what Zhou Xueqiu had said to him.
……
"Beasts, and humans, are like two races that are inherently opposed. It's just that humans are too weak...... They wander before our eyes, but we can't see them. But one day, a little candle burned in someone's eye, and he saw it, and he could remember their horrible appearance......"
"Those guys are frantically gnawing at people's souls."
"And what we 'Chosen One' who have burned our hearts can do is to give them a ride within our ability."
……
"You're scared, aren't you?" The girl frowned, she asked cautiously, slowly withdrew the hand that wanted to pull Zhuo Xuan, looked down at her palm, and felt a little inexplicably sad, "I won't hurt you." ”
Zhuo Xuan didn't speak, his still vigilant gaze swept over the girl's complicated face, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "Why are you ...... Will she have the same looks? ”
She here naturally refers to the girl who has had several encounters with Zhuo Xuan. At first, Zhuo Xuan often mistook the girl for the person in front of him, but when he thought of the personalities of the two people and the many differences, he gradually recognized the reality.
The two have exactly the same looks.
It's an unbelievable thing. There are no two identical snowflakes in the world, and there are no two people who look exactly the same but are not related by blood. Of course, if the girl in front of you is actually a "beast", all this is easy to explain.
Is it capable of transforming into someone else's appearance to disguise itself?
Still is......
"You already know, why ask," said the girl, bowing her head, and a thick book suddenly appeared in her hand. The cover of the book is stamped with a sleepy old lady with a blanket on her lap......
With the distance between the two of them not too far, Zhuo Xuan easily recognized the contents of the book.
It's that biography.
"Waiting for the Dawn".
The girl quickly flipped through the pages and took out a pale green bookmark, she looked at Zhuo Xuan with expectant eyes, and said affectionately: "Look, there are still words you wrote to me...... You tell me it's good to be beautiful alone. So, I listened to you, let's get out of there together...... As long as you accompany me, you can do it anywhere! ”
Her mood became high-pitched, and her tone changed several times, revealing an extremely uneasy heart.
Facing those eyes full of longing, Zhuo Xuan avoided his gaze slightly, as if mentioning a trivial matter, and suddenly asked, "You, have you ever eaten people?" ”
Have you ever eaten someone?
Have you ever eaten "people"?
The girl's face became stiff, the book in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the cover of the flipped book was facing Zhuo Xuan, revealing the words "waiting for dawn" with great irony.
"I've eaten it." She said, word by word, and suddenly became excited, "But they are not as good as one-ten-thousandth of yours combined, as long as we are together, where is the use-"
"Then we," Zhuo Xuan's voice was as small as a mosquito's voice, but it was full of unmistakable firmness, "we are enemies." ”
"No, no......" The girl bit her lip and took a few steps back, obviously realizing the undoubted tone in Zhuo Xuan's tone, "Are you going to devour me?" ”
"I didn't plan to do so," Zhuo Xuan hesitated, and finally failed to use an affirmative tone, "Just consume it like this, I won't contain you, I'll wait until you give up ......"
Then, the illusion that the two of them had built together would collapse.
At the moment when Zhuo Xuan and her looked at each other, the "Nightmare Eye" embedded in the eye socket instead of the eyeball unconsciously activated its ability, and the forces of the two collided together, forming a space that binds each other at the same time.
According to the black watch's introduction to this strange object, Zhuo Xuan does have the ability to connect to humans or the chosen one, but he has never heard of it when he can enter the heart of the beast.
For example, Zhou Xueqiu once had a trick that could resurrect the dead, which looked like a mummy sculpture, and the introduction of the black watch to it was "can resurrect the dead and the dead". It's just that resurrected people will turn into blood-thirsty zombies, which is something hidden beyond the literal face.
Zhuo Xuan's thoughts were flying.
If this is really her inner world, then the white at the beginning represents her true feelings.
The vast white expanse is filled with an indescribable sense of loneliness.
It's just that, as a cursed Chosen One, what position should I take to comfort an enemy?
A beast thirsting for flesh.
"What you can't wait for, you can only leave here if you and I leave, or if I am devoured, otherwise you will be unconscious in reality," the girl said in a faint voice, she picked up the book, patted the dust that did not exist, slowly opened it, and stroked her fingers over the words on the paper little by little, "I still remember, I wrote a book here, stroke by stroke, and suddenly a line of words appeared on the bookmark, it was your text ......"
Zhuo Xuan frowned, noncommittal.
"What a ruthless guy," the girl's eyes reluctantly moved away from Zhuo Xuan's body, "I made a lot of efforts to escape from my world, broke down barriers, and lost a lot of strength. I came to you, and then I waited for another encounter...... Until there was a force that attracted me, and I was really happy to see you again......"
Zhuo Xuan's ears moved, and he keenly caught some of the words used by the girl in her conversation.
Devoured, ramparts, lost a lot of strength...... and "a force was drawn in".
These words are like fragments of fragmented clues, when combined, they faintly reveal something, but these things seem to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog, so that Zhuo Xuan can't see clearly for a while.
