The City of Demons Volume Chapter 142 A Discussion of Yellow Springs
After the battle with the Soul Eater was over, the Su family requisitioned a large hospital in Jiangluo City as a temporary base, and transferred all the people who were injured in the fighting power of the Soul Eater here.
Naturally, along with Xiao Yao's three innocent roommates, they were also contained in a ward. This is for better healing, but also to keep the secrets of the transcendent world. Xiao Yao has visited them, and they are in good spirits, and they can even be said to be ...... Okay, a little too much -
"Wow, ahh It's Miss Elizabeth! Xiao Yao, why are you so full of peach blossom luck, you must help me sign it......
Seeing this situation, Xiao Yao ruthlessly extinguished his sympathy for his roommates, and sincerely recognized that the star-chasing people were really terrible...... Then he couldn't resist the head of the rat.
At this time, the group of people who had not yet recovered from that combat strength formed a circle, listening to Xiao Yao's description of Huangquan and the night sky with different expressions.
Even Xiao Yao was a little surprised that Ye Ruoxue was actually among these people, and she seemed to be a little interested in what he said. As far as Xiao Yao's understanding of Ye Ruoxue is concerned, she is unwilling to care about these things, so nine times out of ten, she asked her to come over. I'm afraid that Yiyi feels that this time the matter can't be solved by herself alone, and she needs to have a high-end combat force involved.
"To sum up, we haven't gained anything from this battle, at least the mysterious being standing behind the Yellow Spring, we already know the name of that person - Night Sky." Xiao Yao analyzed the crowd in the ward as orderly as possible.
In the spiritual world before, after the Gray Wing King finished saying the name of the night sky, he looked a little scared and shrank back into a motionless ball, Xiao Yao wasted a long time in vain and couldn't ask for more information from that guy's mouth, so he could only wake up regretfully.
But as he said, this time the harvest is not small.
"If that night sky ...... It's really like Xiao Yao said, the man with black wings," Luo Mengyun said with a little trepidation, "I met that person when I was surviving in the wilderness on the other side. Strong, very powerful, I can't describe it in words, and not long after that, Xiao Yao and I met the mountain king of Huangquan, which can be regarded as a side confirmation of his identity as the lord of Huangquan. ”
Xiao Yao nodded at Luo Mengyun, agreeing with Luo Mengyun's statement.
Based on Luo Mengyun's information, Xiao Yao became more and more sure that he had not guessed wrong, the person who planted the black feathers in the body of the Gray Wing King and the chain, the person who had monitored him, and the second person behind the scenes in this world...... It is the lord of the Yellow Springs on the other side - the night sky!
Of course, Xiao Yao is not so naïve as to reveal everything he has in his hands, after all, because of the people of the two major families, they are more or less outsiders (except for Elizabeth), not to mention, the inner ghosts planted by the Lantern Shadow family within the three major families have not been completely eradicated. The showdown was obviously not very cautious, and it was simply that it was all information he had obtained from the Soul Eater.
But this can't deceive Su Qian'er, in front of a transcendent person who can look through other people's minds at any time, it is difficult to hide a secret, Xiao Yao knows it. It's just that Su Qian'er also knows that the two sides have not reached the point where they can be completely honest with each other, and the little secret that hides the evidence is understandable, so she just squinted at Ye Ruoxue with bright eyes, and did not question it, nor did she forcibly read Xiao Yao's thoughts.
After all, about the exception of Xiao Yao's parasitism in the spirit, Su Qian'er saw it for the first time when she saw Xiao Yao...... It was not a wise move to rashly test Xiao Yao's thinking.
"More than a hundred years ago, the Lampshadow family was born, and the Decay and Withering generally snatched a large piece of territory from the three major families," Elizabeth leisurely recounted the history of the past, "but their powerful attack only lasted for a short time. Within a few years, the Lantern Shadow Family changed from active attack to passive defense, and we guess that it may be at that time that a certain force began to suppress each other with the Lantern Shadow Family, and the Lantern Shadow Family, which was forced to temporarily put the three major families on hold. ”
"We've been speculating about what that force is for years, but it wasn't until a while ago that we young people were confirmed. Huangquan, this behemoth from the other side, officially appeared in front of us as a hostile person. Elizabeth concluded, "And now, we have finally come one step closer to understanding them - the night sky, the lord of the Yellow Spring, the true king of the other side, has finally been captured by Xiao Yao." ”
"The light shadow of Lu Mountain and the night sky, it is they who competed behind the strength of those two parties, so that the entire history of transcendents is soaked in pitch-black blood." Xiao Yao said clearly, "I don't know why they are constantly hostile, but I know that it is precisely because of their confrontation that the direction of this world has changed." ”
"So now, the question we're going to discuss is very simple—since Xiao Yao doesn't think Huang Quan's plan will end here, then ...... What is the ultimate plan and ultimate goal of the night sky? ”
"About this matter...... Su Qian'er's tone was a little hesitant, "We have some guesses with the old bat, but let's not think about it for now, speculations without evidence are often misleading." ”
"So the meeting is now over?" Ye Ruoxue stood up expressionlessly and said goodbye without paying attention, "Then I'll leave." ”
"Then I'll send you off." Xiao Yao immediately stood up and followed Ye Ruoxue's footsteps.
……
"Sister Xue, you ...... it"
"Yiyi asked me to come," Ye Ruoxue knew what Xiao Yao was going to ask, so she replied simply, "Yiyi said, this time I'm afraid that something more threatening than the Lantern Shadow Family is approaching." ”
"Huh? Can you let me rest and rest, you said that the Lantern Shadow family is just that, why is Huangquan also coming at me, who am I looking for to provoke someone...... I just want to live a peaceful life as a family......" Xiao Yao frowned distressedly, he vaguely understood why the Lantern Shadow family left Jiangluo without any delay. Probably the Lantern Shadow family realized Huang Quan's next plan through some channel and evacuated Jiangluo, the land of right and wrong.
"You think too much, to be exact, Huang Quan doesn't care much about you, it's just that you happen to be within the range of their target," Ye Ruoxue said mercilessly, "Their purpose is far more terrifying than you think." ”
"I'm overestimating myself a little...... Xiao Yao admitted, "but don't you really think that even if these things are not all directed at me, they are also very coincidental to me?" Yes, we have always thought that Yiyi is the heart of the problem, but there are many things...... It seems that it has nothing to do with Yiyi at all. ”
Ye Ruoxue frowned slightly: "I remember you said that you are a person who doesn't believe in coincidences very much, so you think ...... Someone is secretly ......"
"I don't even know if it's human," Xiao Yao shook his head, "The two layout people in this world, I can barely be regarded as having a relationship with them, but they ...... To be honest, there is really no need or position to lay out such a big game for an unknown junior like me. Either someone else is arranged, or there is some information that I don't yet have. ”
Ye Ruoxue stopped moving forward, and she looked at Xiao Yao's calm eyes like a pool of lake water: "Xiao Yao, I know that for you, instead of solving the problem, it is better to directly solve the person who raised the problem. But...... What if you really think too much? If there is no so-called layout behind all this, but some kind of unchangeable and called ...... What about the things of fate that are driving all this? At that time, your future, Yiyi's future, how will you choose? ”
"I don't seem to have told you - I don't believe in fate," Xiao Yao smiled slightly, he knew Ye Ruoxue's consciousness, she wanted to ask herself how she would choose if Yiyi's fate really couldn't be changed, "Is it fate...... Isn't this kind of thing meant to be broken? ”
Ye Ruoxue retracted her gaze, didn't say anything more, waved her hand at Xiao Yao to signal that she didn't need to send it, and walked straight forward and left.
Xiao Yao sighed and looked up at the sky.
This world is really magical, originally thought to be just an ordinary superpower world, the transcendent has transcendent power, people's ordinary life, there are occasional villains and battles, as long as the incident is simply solved, and every battle is once and for all.
And yet—
The relics of repeated civilizations are buried deep underground, telling a fragmented history that is too old; A hundred years ago, mysterious experimenters used red-hot molten iron to seal the power of mortals from stepping into the taboo of the extraordinary; Shadows are like shadows in the other world, and the forces formed by the dead secretly stretch out their claws; The emotionless man-made transcendents have started a miracle called "false gods......
Beneath the ordinariness of the surface of this world, how many undercurrents are surging, and how many unknown weirdness are fierce in the night?
"What should I say? Actually, I think it's pretty interesting, isn't it? Xiao Yao muttered to himself. He has always been a person who likes to decrypt secrets, and in his previous life, he was a frequent visitor to escape rooms, and the mystery of this world is, to put it bluntly, just a large escape room.
"Just let me, this human being who does not belong to this world," Xiao Yao slowly stretched out his hand to the sky, "to solve the mysteries of this world for all the human beings who are persistently moving forward in the dark night." ”
The ambitious young man didn't notice that when he raised his hand towards the sky, a girl not far away stopped hurrying forward and looked at Xiao Yao with clear eyes.
The look in his eyes was a little surprised, and a little ...... Déjà vu between the deceased.
