Chapter 157: A Dream Within a Dream
After Hua Luo read the memory of the light cluster in her hand, she used her greatest strength to shrink the ground into a foot and hurried overnight, and arrived at her guardian Xin Yue at noon the next day.
In the old and dilapidated community where Xin Yue is located, in the eyes of outsiders, there is nothing abnormal about people coming in and out, quiet and harmonious. But in Hua Luo's eyes, the entire community was unusually quiet, there was no sound, and the black gas rushing above the community formed a huge black vortex, enveloping this piece under the entire black domain. If a foreign object steps further, it is death. The flying insect did not know the danger, so it pounced on it and immediately turned into flying ashes and fell.
Hua Luo stepped into the door of the community, and the two worlds of white and gray alternately appeared in her eyes. The white is the world in the eyes of ordinary people, and the gray is the world she is about to enter.
She went straight to Xin Yue's rental house, and the corridor that usually saw the end at a glance was now impossible to walk at all. Every time you pass through a door, the stairway extends for a minute, and any magic doesn't work here.
Just then her phone rang, especially loud in the silent hallway, and she slid to the answer button.
"Cousin Luo, are you home?" Xin Yue asked with a grin on the other end, like the voice of lying on the bed talking.
Hua Luo said in a mischievous voice: "I'm in another place now, guess where I am now?" ”
"My cousin's grandfather's house eats oranges!" Xin Yue guessed: "Otherwise, I will eat sweet potatoes at my second cousin's house." ”
"It's all wrong, it's not. You keep guessing. The voice on the other end of the phone was a little distressed, struggling to guess the riddle, and Hua Luo continued to walk forward.
The crystal ball shone on the figure of Hua Luo talking on the phone with others, and the lights in the long corridor flickered from time to time, and Xin Yue couldn't take her eyes off it. The voice coming from the other end of the phone was the roar of a monster, but Hua Luo unconsciously laughed with the human.
"She went to another world, if she can't get out, she will be trapped in it forever, do you want to save her?" The black-robed Taoist brought the news of her parents' murder, and before she could be sad for a moment, Hua Luo mistakenly broke into the trap set by the Taoist.
Xin Yue held the crystal ball in her hand, unsettled. The black-robed Taoist appeared too suddenly, and she hadn't come out of the fantasy setting of this world yet.
The black-robed old man seduced: "If you want to avenge your parents, you have to increase your strength, they will soon find here, your life, your cousin's life they will take away at any time." Time waits for no one, make a decision early, and the safety of the two of you will be a little less. ”
Xin Yue raised her head and asked, "What about you?" Why are you telling me this, and what do you want to gain from it? ”
"I'm here to help you, there are many people in the world who don't need a reason to help others, they want to help that. As long as you sign a contract with me, your sealed power will grow indefinitely. There is no one in this world who is your opponent, and you can always seek revenge on those people for your parents' revenge. Don't forget, the key is still in your cousin's possession, and those who are full of evil have done everything. "The black-robed old man tried his best to portray himself as a good person.
Isn't it! He helped them lift the sealed power in each world, taking only a small percentage of interest from them in return.
"I made a contract with you, what restrictions do I have?" Xin Yue is not stupid, she believes everything others say. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and everything needs to be exchanged at an equal price. After graduating from college and working in society for a few years, she no longer believes in promotions and discounts, she would rather buy what she needs at the original price than listen to the word promotion and buy some things she doesn't need.
The black-robed man explained the benefits of the contract with sincerity, "There must be restrictions, but they won't affect your original life. I will only summon you to help me when I need you and you are free, and I will be paid accordingly. I just didn't want a sidekick to hang around behind me all the time, so I thought of this way to come out and take what I needed. Your physical qualifications are much better than ordinary people, and you are the queen of the Twelve Flower Gods, which is the reason why I found you. ”
As early as when the black-robed man showed her that there was another world to coexist with in this world, Xin Yue's three views were shattered and reorganized. Then she saw her parents die in a strange way, and Hua Luo spoke to her in another world, and her body had a desire to become stronger.
Whatever happens in this world, it spreads quickly, and the news confirms what he said, and I have seen it with my own eyes today. But becoming stronger is not something that happens overnight, if you want to get started, you have to have a master in front to guide the way, the black-robed Taoist is her only choice, and the conditions he opens are also very tempting.
Xin Yue still hesitated.
She didn't know what to hesitate about, but there was a voice in her heart that kept her waiting.
"What are you waiting for?" The black-robed Taoist looked at Hua Luo in the crystal ball and asked, "You are now in two worlds, and when she finds another you in that world, it will be her death." ”
"What do I have to pay for the contract?" Isn't it all like that on TV? To make a contract with someone, you need to give your soul or spirit, or everything after death.
"A strand of your hair, that's all I need." He doesn't need a soul, it's useless to him, the hair in the middle of his brain is the essence of a god.
Hair is indeed not very important, and it can grow longer after cutting. Xin Yue then asked another question, "How many years is the contract?" That's not going to happen in a hundred years. ”
"Fifty years." Her lifespan in this life is only fifty years, and when she returns to the throne of God, the time will be counted as God's time.
The black-robed Daoist here answered Xin Yue's questions one after another, and his patience was running out.
In the gray world, Hua Luo seemed to be tirelessly walking forward, the corridor extended forward countless times, and when she saw the turn, she thought that when she was almost there, there was still such a long corridor waiting for her in front of her, and the phone in her hand kept listening mode, until she stopped moving, and a voice of doubt came from inside: "Why don't you go?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Where are you going?" Hua Luo's eyes were confused.
The voice on the other end changed back to a brisk tune: "Of course it's to me!" At the corner in front of her, Xin Yue appeared with a mobile phone in her hand, and beckoned to her with a sweet smile, "Come with me, I'll take you to a good place." ”
"Why did I want to go with you? Who are you? Hua Luo stepped back.
Xin Yue's mouth reached the root behind her ears, her neck was extended indefinitely, like a beautiful snake, her head stretched out in front of Hua Luo and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"You know what! There's one creature I hate the most, and that sticky feeling makes me sick. Hua Luo reached out and twisted her neck into the shape of a simple five-petaled flower, which was attached to the wall next to her.
"Where are the people?" Hua Luo grabbed the serpentine petals that wanted to escape, "If you don't say anything, I'll beat you back to your original appearance and live in darkness forever." ”
The serpentine petals stopped writhing and turned back into a miniature palm-sized serpentine petal, which landed in Hua Luo's palm. "I don't know, the master won't let me say."
