XXXIX. Seals
He Lan remembered the literature he had seen before.
"The Seal of Birth" –
Similar marks have been found on the bones of many sacrificial pits before.
According to experts, the witch sacrifice will brand the sacrifice when it offers sacrifices to the calamity beasts and asks for the calamity to be quelled.
Once there is this seal, whether it is action or life or death, it is controlled by the calamity beast at will.
There is also a certain Dongying scholar who has put forward a bold speculation after deliberation.
The scourge beast will mark the female animal it fancy, and serve some ulterior purpose.
And the earliest witch clan was actually a hybrid of disaster beasts and humans.
He Lan suspected that he had read too many strange books, so he would have this kind of imagination like Tianma stepping on an empty foot.
"Actually, I've fainted several times since yesterday...... I feel that my physical strength has been absorbed by this imprint. Ji Qianzhi showed a wry smile, "I guess...... Are all the wounds on your body almost healed now? ”
It turns out that their inexplicable recovery power is borrowed from their physical strength?
"Ah, I'm sorry." He Lan was a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean to. ”
I'm sorry for inadvertently prostituting myself this time.
Not next time.
"It's fine. It's also my sister's retribution for her wayward before. ”
Speaking of this, the girl suddenly stood up solemnly and bowed seriously to He Lan.
"Regarding my sister, on behalf of the Chi family, I apologize to you."
"Although, I wouldn't expect you to forgive her. But I hope you can give her some chance to make amends later. ”
He Lan was silent for a moment.
Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to the little girl.
I vaguely remember that at the last moment, it was she who was beaten and dragged the demon girl hard.
It can be regarded as knowing that mistakes can be corrected.
"Forget it, this matter is over. I'm not one to worry about the little girl," He Lan shook his head, "I hope she will remember the lesson in the future." ”
Chi Qianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at He Lan's eyes with secret gratitude.
"When I took you back yesterday, everyone blew up."
"I've never seen my grandfather get so angry...... She is now in the confinement room, kneeling with a bucket on her back to copy the "Diamond Sutra", saying that she is not allowed to come out until she has copied it a hundred times. ”
Imagining Chi Taoyao's depressed appearance at the moment, He Lan couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"She also asked me to bring you a word."
"What?"
Chi Qianzhi's gaze suddenly became a little strange.
"She said that no matter how much you scolded her afterwards, she was willing to accept it, and just hoped that you would not ignore her - it made her feel worse than dead."
He Lan tasted the product carefully, and the scene of the little girl with a thin waist and long legs who was beaten and scolded again came to her mind, still blushing, pitifully pinching the corners of her clothes, and suddenly felt that something was not right.
Chi Qianzhi...... Your sister really needs a good education. He said seriously, "Well, I'll sign her up for a training course in two days—"
"The theme is: "How can women get out of the brainwashing control of PUA""
…………
Ridicule is ridicule.
The two quickly set their current goals.
He Lan is responsible for researching and controlling the ancient seal ability as soon as possible.
Chi Qianzhi wanted to be responsible for finding a way to coordinate intelligence and deal with the upcoming review of the Ancient Seal Academy.
"I think after all this fuss, they're probably going to notice you again." The girl thought earnestly, "It's only a matter of time before we find out about us—but I already have a clue, and I'll discuss it with you later." ”
"Until then, I'll find a way to help you cover up your identity as soon as possible."
"Are you alright? I'm here to pick you up tonight. ”
He Lan thought for a moment.
"But how does the hospital explain? The seriously injured and sick number is alive and kicking today. ”
"You're so careful." Chi Qianzhi smiled at him, "I just opened up the joints, and it was said that the Chi family used the healing seal text to heal your injuries last night." I don't want you to be distracted by this kind of detail, so I didn't mention it. ”
Well......
This Nizi has a clear mind and is more reliable.
Seems to be a good partner to work with.
"One last thing." He Lan spoke slowly, not daring to look at Chi Qianzhi, "As you said before, you are from another world like me...... What does this mean exactly? ”
Don't...... You're here too?
Know how to go back?
He grabbed the quilt, and for a moment he was a little afraid to hear the other party's real answer.
Even if I already have a faint premonition in my heart.
The girl was a little surprised, and then burst out laughing.
"I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I didn't make it clear - I'm a witch like you."
"As long as we work together...... Maybe we can find clues to uncover our background, go back to the world that belongs to the Wu Clan, and see what the world that belongs to us is like. ”
A flash of fascination flashed in the girl's eyes.
Silent.
There was a long silence.
"Hahaha, hahahaha......"
He Lan suddenly laughed, and the laughter grew louder and louder, with a hint of bitterness and desolation.
And so it was.
yes, I'm stupid.
What was I fantasizing about in my mind before?
Dad, Mom, I'm sorry.
After raising me for so many years, you can no longer wait for me to get married, wait for me to get my first money for work, and wait for me to laugh and quarrel with you, and grow old together......
Come to think of it, we didn't even say goodbye in the end.
I hope you've forgotten about me......
It's over.
Chi Qianzhi was taken aback.
But I saw that the sheets he was holding in his hands were torn by force, and the nails were drawn with silk threads.
"You ......"
Looking at He Lan, who was in a frenzy at the moment, she was a little speechless.
At the age of five, she realized for the first time that she was a witch, an absolute outlier in this world.
He is an adopted orphan, and his grandfather is actually not related to him.
The only one who can believe is himself.
At that time, I fell into despair.
It's exactly the same as his eyes now.
It was the Chinese New Year, and I was alone in the heavy snow, looking at the lights of thousands of homes.
Chi Qianzhi looked at him distressedly, as if she saw her helpless self in the past.
"Don't be upset...... girl's voice was much softer, "I understand your feelings. But now it's different, you're not alone. ”
"Perhaps...... You can try to trust me. ”
He Lan slowly calmed down his breathing and stopped laughing.
He looked at Chi Qianzhi seriously, and his deep eyes were as cold as a cold star at the moment.
The girl couldn't even make eye contact with those eyes.
"No...... There are a lot of things that you don't really understand. ”
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"Thank you, I know you're a very gentle person."
The girl was stunned.
But He Lan slowly lay back and turned his head.
"I'll discuss the matter with you later, thank you."
"I want to be quiet now, please go back."
Hey......
Why do you suddenly feel like you've been dumped?
Chi Qianzhi was stunned, but she could only get up and leave.
The moment the door closed, she seemed to hear a very soft, trembling sigh.
Chi Qianzhi stopped.
My heart suddenly felt as if I had been gently pinched, and I felt faintly distressed for this young man.
But she knew that he couldn't be seen by anyone now.
She lingered in the doorway for a long time, but she still didn't get in.
Instead, he took a deep breath and walked out of the hospital.
…………
That afternoon, He Lan talked and laughed with the nurses who came to nurse and told a joke that made her laugh.
And carefully replied to every message in WeChat, and carefully cleaned the room.
As if nothing had happened.
It's just that in the dark, something has changed.
On this day, the soul of "He Lan" really came to this world and took his first step.
