Chapter 19: The Relentless Fire
I snorted, it was a hundred times more painful than the injury of the iron hook, I was so painful that I lost consciousness, and my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't open them.
"Oniye."
"Oniye."
"Oniye."
In a daze, I heard An Chen keep calling me, and then he laid me flat on the ground.
"I'll fight with you." An Chen's roaring voice resounded throughout the room.
I saw him knock down the rows of shelves, all the bottles and cans knocked over on the ground, An Chen kicked the oil pot over, and ignited the grease on the ground with the fire.
Then he hugged the black-robed man to the death, no matter how he struggled and beat, An Chen never let go.
I squinted my eyes and looked at all this, An Chen was going to die with that evil spirit, now I am helpless, desperate, I hate myself for being incompetent, I can't even deal with such an evil spirit, what else can I do?
"Are you feeling hopeless? This situation is caused by your incompetence. "A voice that is neither male nor female sounded in my ears, and everything that happened in front of me instantly stopped.
The burning fire instantly stopped, and I felt something around me staring at me.
I don't believe that the owner of this voice is a good person, or he would have chosen to appear when I was in a desperate situation.
"Ghost Ye, you shouldn't be a stranger to me!"
"Who are you?" My eyelids were a little heavy and I couldn't lift them, but I could feel that he was powerful.
"Aha, I forgot you had amnesia." The voice of neither male nor female makes people sound very uncomfortable.
"If you're here to see the joke, get out of here." I yelled weakly.
"Seeing that you have made a lot of progress, I will ignore your disrespect for me. Now I give you a gift as my sincerity. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, countless images flashed through my mind, the red package in front of my grandfather's grave, a letter I wrote to myself, and the incredible death list.
In addition to the tragedy, I saw me hiding in the kennel of Xiao Hei in fear, and that fear is something I will never forget in my life.
Everything that happened in the village of the Goddess played out in my mind like a movie, and I remembered everything, he was the wraith who made deals with the ghosts.
"Yes, it looks like your memory has been restored, you should think of me now!" He said to me with a low smile.
"Why give me back my memories? What is your purpose? I asked him warily.
"Ghost Ye, your vigilance is too strong, anyway, your lost memories have no effect on you, I might as well be a favor and give it back to you." Before I could ask, he continued: "Now your sister's soul is gone, she died during the trade with me, if you want her to live, unless you ......"
"Unless what?"
"I only want you to make a promise, as long as you promise, I promise that your sister will live to be 90 years old."
"You must not have a good heart, and you want to use my sister to trick me into making a deal with you."
"You just said do you want to bring your sister back to life?"
In his rhetorical questioning, I was silent, the ghost is my only relative, and I can't see death without help. I am not afraid that I will lose my life, but that he will take my promise and ask me to harm others.
He seemed to understand my thoughts, and said, "If I want you to make a promise, I will also ask for it for others." If you think about it, if you want to save your sister, you have to do it as soon as possible, and there is nothing I can do about it. ”
"I promise you, I want to be flexible." I agreed without hesitation, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, as long as the ghost is flexible, it is more important than anything else.
"Okay, then you can save your life and get out alive!"
As soon as his words fell, countless curses, shouts, and cries all gathered in the raging fire, and the fire engulfed An Chen and the black-robed man.
I can't help but think of Grandma Twin Eyes' prophecy, where she predicted An Chen's fate, 'If there is change, there will be sacrifice.' ’
Could it be that I just watched An Chen die in the fire? Barely stealing my life, what kind of brother am I?
I endured the pain and slowly crawled towards the fire, the blazing light ignited my clothes, I didn't stop, endured the pain and continued to crawl forward, the big deal was that my soul flew away.
"Leader, I really didn't misunderstand you." A golden light enveloped me, and I looked for prestige, speaking to a woman of great temperament, even though she looked old.
That "leader" is she calling me? When did I become a leader, did I hear it wrong?
She quickly rushed into the fire and quickly brought An Chen out, and then she crouched in front of me to check on our injuries.
She gently reached out and touched An Chen's face, her eyes were full of reluctance, she was An Chen's mother? I couldn't help but be taken aback by my own thoughts.
"I'm An Chen's mother, this kid has always felt guilty about me, he thinks I'm unconscious because of him, but I'm in another space. The battle between humanity and the wraiths is on the verge of breaking out, and I hope you can forgive me for my selfishness, and I must come back to save my children. She looked at me with a look in her eyes full of pleading, and she was asking me to forgive her.
"Auntie, I don't understand what you mean." I swallowed and stared at her.
"The numbers you saw before were all left by Xu Jialin's mother, and she was the only person I could get in touch with the world over there. She and I are both spirit girls, and we can both predict the future, but unfortunately the spirit found her, so she passed on her identity to your sister on her deathbed. A hint of loneliness flashed in An Chen's mother's eyes, and she reached out to grab An Chen's hand.
"What do those numbers mean? And what is your identity? What exactly does the inscription represent? Will I really live to be 200 years from now? "I asked all the questions that had been in my mind for a long time.
"That was the time when the spirits and the humans were at war, and the more you knew, the worse it would be for you. Because you are the leader of the future, those spirits will find ways to destroy your soul, they already know that the future has begun to change, remember, you must not trust the penal family. "She was very vague and I didn't get a clear answer.
The corners of her mouth moved slightly, she recited the ancient words, the powerful air currents fluctuated throughout the room, and the golden symbols enveloped her whole body, and then one by one they submerged into An Chen's body, and she looked at An Chen with a smile.
'If there is change, there will be sacrifices. 'Is she going to sacrifice herself to save An Chen?' I now understand the meaning of Granny Twin Eyes' previous prophecy, and I can't help but sigh at the greatness of maternal love.
She passed on the inscription of the golden inscription to An Chen, which meant the destruction of the spirit.
"Leader, you must save your mother."
The golden light enveloped me and An Chen, instantly penetrating the entire room, and the light became more and more dazzling.
There was no pain, no bleeding, all the wounds I had suffered in the painting were gone, and my soul had returned to my body.
