Chapter 218: It's armor, but it's also a weakness

Chi Yi lazily leaned back on the back chair and watched the scene rushing by outside the car window.

Those people were crowded and trafficked.

But the image of mercury flashed in his mind, from the past, to the present, and even the unknown future......

"What the hell is going on over there with mercury?"

The dignified questioning made Chi Yi fall silent, and he just covered his hands in front of his eyes, as if to block out the harsh sunlight in the sky.

"Do you know why I want to help you, why did the Ikeme family, who have always not asked about matters outside of their own duties, suddenly take a clear stand and support your peace this time?"

Chi Yi's voice was soft, but his gaze only wandered in the scenery outside the window. It was like talking to himself, without any eye contact.

"I don't know."

Rin shook her head, these things were indeed a mystery to her.

Talos had had such fears, fearing that Ikeme would not really help. And the little friendship they have is just because Mercury likes to talk to Rin and likes this little girl who suddenly broke into her life.

But at this meeting, Ji Yi's unwavering support was something Rin didn't expect.

"You remember in the morning, you said that you had the breath of the night on Xuanyu's body."

"Hmm."

"How can there be a demon's spiritual power on his body, and he is not a half-demon. So the only possibility is that he comes into contact with the spirit of the night, and it is very close, and the touch ......"

Speaking of this, Rinrin's eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be ......?"

"That's right."

Ji Yi still looked at the dazzling light in the air, moving his fingers from time to time, and responded.

At this time, a relatively thick cloud suddenly floated into the originally clear sky, almost obscuring the light.

Chiyi lowered his hand and took a deep breath.

"The reason why the "new puppet project" was opposed was not implemented quickly. First, it was because of your opposition at the last meeting, so that others could clearly understand the cruelty involved. Second, they are afraid that this opposition will be raised, and there has been no suitable spirit to use as a test subject. ”

"So, Uncle Xuanyu captured Yeren alive, and the spirit of Yeren was used as the first test subject to make that "new puppet", right?"

"That's right."

After getting Chi Yi's affirmative answer, Rin Rin didn't know what to say for a while.

She just didn't expect that Uncle Xuan Yu would be able to do so much for the sake of winning the war and completely expelling Yeren.

"But the most important thing about making a puppet is that it is neither a living spirit nor a plan for a new puppet. Rather, the puppeteer - mercury. ”

As he spoke, Chi Yi's eyebrows were tightly screwed together.

Mercury......

She is not only Chi Yi's armor, but also Chi Yi's weakness.

"But the puppet shown at the meeting today has no spirit injected into it."

Suddenly, Rin felt a little confused.

If, according to what Chi Yi said, Xuan Yu already had a living spirit body that was not a victim of the Demon Envoy Clan, how could he only take out a shell and try to convince everyone.

"Because, the body of mercury is really not enough to support such work. Whether it is the manufacture of dolls, or the stripping and infusion of spirits, these things require high-intensity spiritual concentration......"

……

Mercury.

Again, it happened not long after the death of the original puppeteer......

Due to the sudden vacancy of the puppeteer's position, the entire Yunyin Association fell into a very anxious state.

After all, armed puppets are the key 'weapons' to defeat Yeren, and the envoys don't want to, and they can't let them be ruined like this.

The ability to control spirits is rare, and they have not been found after several searches.

Until one day, Xuan Wu, the executive officer of the Cloud Hidden Association, suddenly brought back a long-haired girl, and said that she had the ability to control spirits, but it was not stable.

The appearance of this girl made the entire association like a treasure.

And in order to prevent the Yaren clan from knowing the news about the puppeteer, and to ensure that the power of mercury is not interfered with by the outside world, it will be changed. The Yunyin Association mobilized all forces to eliminate all information about mercury.

Since then, Mercury has lived in the mansion arranged for her by the Yunyin Association, isolated from the world.

And what she left to the outside world is only her ability to control her spouse and the appearance of a silent Lori.

After that, as long as she wants, as long as she can, the association will do everything possible to meet her needs. But this is the only thing that leaves this mansion......

After Mercury settled, whether she fell asleep or woke up, all around her was the dolls and the materials used to make them.

From the initial attempt, to excellence.

But no matter how time passes, the sound and appearance of mercury are the same as when they first came.

It's as if the time of this world is completely frozen in her.

In the same way, so is her spiritual power. In such an isolated environment, pure is like a newborn child, and there is no impurities to speak of.

It's just that no matter what kind of strength you have, there will be a day when you run out.

Just like the current mercury, because of her excessive obsession with dolls and desperate production, she tries to have a puppet that is the most perfect and closest to 'human' in her mind.

Even if she was already about to exhaust her spiritual power for this......

……

"Therefore, you agreed so firmly to negotiate peace for the sake of mercury, in order not to make her increase the workload and make armed dolls in a complicated way."

Looking at Chi Yi's eyes closed, he responded silently as if he was asleep.

At this moment, even if he didn't say anything, Rin clearly understood the importance of mercury in Chi Yi's heart.

There is no substitute, and it cannot be harmed in the slightest......

"Rin, maybe the relationship between you and me was neither friend nor foe before, and it was only with mercury as a bond that I was willing to approach you and even help you. But for now, I really want you to broker a truce between the two clans, and I'll do everything I can in the meantime. ”

Chi opened his eyes and turned his head to face Rin.

The expression on his face was no longer the lazy and unserious look of the past, but a rare seriousness.

Perhaps for Mercury, Chi Yi is just a monitor from the Cloud Hidden Association, and is the only hub where she can touch outside objects and related information.

But for Chi Yi, mercury is equivalent to all of hers.

"Chi Yi, don't blame me for being too talkative or suspicious of you. It's just that if the mercury is really as you say, it is due to excessive spiritual power depletion, causing the body to be overloaded, it is only temporary. As long as you take a short rest, or reduce the frequency of using spiritual power, you can still recover. ”

Rin hesitated slightly, but finally said the question in her heart.

After all, this kind of thing that even she wants, how could those uncles and even those team leaders be fooled by that "physical function test book".

Even now, Yun Yin seems to agree to negotiate peace on the surface, and even sends himself over to discuss the armistice in detail.

But when the spiritual power of mercury is restored, the matter of peace has not yet been decided. Who can guarantee that Xuan Xuan, and those group leaders who are not willing to make peace, will not restart the "New Puppet Project".

"Yes, spiritual power can be restored. But for Mercury, if she doesn't stop fighting, she won't have a future......"

Chi Yi spoke slowly, his voice as light as a gossamer, as if he was not talking to Rin Rin at all, but to himself.

"No future? Pool one you ......"

Rin couldn't comprehend the meaning of his words for a while, but when she was curious to ask one or two, she found that Chi Yi had already fallen asleep leaning against the car door.

He was really tired.

Whether it is physical or mental, Chi Yi's heart has been a little too much these days.

It wasn't until the next day, after the two of them simply cleaned up, that they gathered at the border of Dusk River, which had been agreed in advance, and got up and headed for the main city of Yeren.

-

At the same time, in the main city of Yeren outside the twilight river, Talos was not idle.

After Mande's invitation, and two more impromptu meetings. The Senate punished Buck accordingly, and continued to deliberate on peace with the envoys.

Durer was silent, and the audience was either in harmony with the mud, or watching a play.

As for the others, after seeing how Talos dealt with Buck and his domestic slaves, they were more or less afraid in their hearts.

Mande, who had the most say in this matter and could finalize it, was completely like a shopkeeper, ignoring it, and it was obvious that he was still a little biased towards Talos.

"Your Excellency, you must always make a statement about the peace."

At the meeting, someone finally couldn't help but speak.

But Mander just smiled and looked at Talos, who was sitting on one side, as if expecting to see how he would respond.

However, at this moment, a crisp knock on the door suddenly came.

Mande said, "Come in." ”

As the door of the conference room was pushed open, I saw a person who looked like a guard bowed his head and walked in, "Your Excellency Mande, there is news from the frontline guards that it seems that a suspicious person has left the main city, and at the same time, there are signs of convergence with people not far from the edge of the city. ”

"yes, got it."

Mander waved his hand, and the guard turned away.

It's just that because of the appearance of this guard, the already deadlocked meeting suddenly changed direction.

For a while, the elders who did not agree with the peace negotiation suspected that the 'suspicious person' who left the main city must be a demon envoy, or something related to the demon envoy.

That kind of untrustworthiness, like a virus, spreads rapidly.

"Don't be so nervous, just wait and see, anyway, the sky is falling, and His Excellency Tarr has priority to support it." In the silence, DΓΌrer suddenly spoke.

At this time, he smiled and leaned back in his chair as a harmless person, looked at Talos and said, "Did you say, Lord TΓ‘r?" ”

Talos didn't answer, but after a moment of eye contact with Durreux, he got up and left.

And this meeting was inexplicably disturbed by the guard's words.

After all, no one can rashly believe in an enemy who has been on the opposite side of them for a long time.

Merely......

Talos suddenly remembered the scene three days earlier, when Mande had asked him to meet alone at his private house......
