Chapter 18: Back to the original house
Then it was suddenly pitch black in front of me, and only some voices could be faintly heard. The voice was small, and it looked like someone was whispering. At this time, a little light appeared in the darkness in front of me, and slowly became brighter and brighter, and then I saw He Yi and a man in red robes sitting opposite each other, and in the middle of them, a magic circle was drawn. On either side of the circle were two soul-like figures, but in the middle of the circle was still the eye of a green ghost, and the rest of the circle was covered with unknown symbols. Seeing this, I can somewhat guess what this is, this circle may be another 'Soul Contract Undead Replacement' I mentioned, but I remember that half of Yi's soul has already made a deal with the green ghost, so what else is he going to do now?
At this time, the man in red sitting opposite He Yi took off his cloak and revealed a face that was familiar to me. At this time, the man spoke: "Just do as I say, let's begin." The tone is still so cold, and the familiar voice is right! This person is 'Mu Zichen'. How could he have anything to do with this?
"I'll tell you again, after the ceremony is completed, whether it's successful or not, we won't contact each other again in the future, I'll only help you this time, to be exact, it's for her!" Mu Zichen said coldly.
"I know, you don't have to worry about that, and I don't want to have anything to do with your saints. Okay, without further ado, let's get started. After saying that, he took out a knife and dripped his blood into the circle in the middle. I recognize that knife, it is the other knife I gave me, as if this knife runs through the whole event in my memory, whether it is hundreds of years ago or now, this knife is used in rituals, it seems that the origin of this knife must not be simple. At this time, He Yi dripped his blood into the magic circle, and Mu Zichen on the other side began to recite the incantation. As more and more blood dripped down, a puff of black smoke gradually rose from the circle, and as soon as this black smoke appeared, the green ghosts would follow. Suddenly, I saw the shadow of a dragon looming behind him, it was roaring, and in an instant, a huge force emanated from Heyi's body, slashing the green ghost form in the black smoke into pieces, and at this moment, Heyi suddenly stretched out his hand to the center of the black smoke in the circle, and quickly recited the incantation, and then I saw that the green ghost form that had just been split by the huge power of the dragon in Heyi's body actually began to turn into green smoke, and was gradually absorbed into his body. It was only a few tens of seconds, but it made me stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a sudden gust of wind blew away the green smoke that was being absorbed into He Yi's body, and at the same time, Mu Zichen, who was present, was also wrapped in black smoke, and He Yi watched the green smoke being absorbed into his body being blown away, but he still refused to give up, and continued to speed up the chanting of the spell, but it had no effect. I only saw that the green smoke gathered together, getting thicker and thicker, until finally, it became the appearance of a green ghost, but unlike before, the green ghost was translucent as a whole, probably because a part of the power was absorbed by Heyi, and Mu Zichen, who was also wrapped in black smoke, had a calm face, as if watching a game.
After the green ghost appeared, he only saw that it stretched out an almost transparent hand and pointed at Mu Zichen. Immediately afterwards, the voice of the green ghost came from all around: "Do you know? After Mu Zichen heard this, he nodded and said, "Only this time, besides, more than two hundred years, your contract with my master is still continuing, but now I want to help her get out of the sea of suffering." At the end of the day, it's an idiot dreaming. With that, he smiled self-deprecatingly. As soon as the words fell, the green ghost raised his hand slightly, and Mu Zichen was lifted in the air, but he didn't resist at all, just let it be destroyed. "Traitor! She is me, I am her, since you are so loyal, then sacrifice for us! After speaking, a powerful force gathered from the magic circle, just when I thought that Mu Zichen was going to be killed, He Yi on the side suddenly recited a spell, only to see the shadow of the dragon that flew into the air just now to cut off the green ghost, and now it actually flew back, and entered the green ghost's body in an instant, because of the strong power, the green ghost let out a terrible cry. At the same time, Mu Zichen fell to the ground, completely ignoring the pain on his body, and quickly recited a spell with Heyi, only to see a burst of white light flash, the magic circle disappeared, the black smoke was gone, and the ceremony was over!
At this time, He Yi walked to the vanishing circle and picked up something. When I looked closely, I saw that it was the [Chain of Green Ghosts]. And the moment I saw it, I understood, and now this [Chain of Green Ghosts] has become what I first saw, translucent milky white, completely no longer the blue purple before, it turns out that this means the attenuation of the power of the green ghosts.
"Tsk, this chain doesn't seem to be working!" After the ceremony, Kazui raised it up and looked at the [Chain of Green Ghosts] with disdain.
"It's useful, you just absorbed part of the power of the green ghost, plus the heavy blow just now, the green ghost is temporarily asleep, so the [chain of green ghosts] will become like this." Mu Zichen leaned against the wall on the side and said weakly. "Even if it didn't work out today, when he recovers, it will definitely make you feel painful, so what are you going to do next?"
"Find a way to transfer the remaining green ghost power into my body!" He Yi said with a smile.
"The problem is that now the remaining power of the green ghosts is sleeping in the [Chain of Green Ghosts]", and I don't know how long this process will take, maybe it will take hundreds of years!
"Huh, hundreds of years? No, I have a solution! He Yi said.
"What's the solution? Can you tell me about it? ”
"OF COURSE, AFTER ALL, YOU HELPED ME, IT DOESN'T HURT TO TELL YOU, I JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FEW DECADES, AND AFTER YUNA IN THIS LIFE DIES, HE IN THE NEXT LIFE, WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING, WILL DELIVER THE [CHAIN OF GREEN GHOSTS] TO HIM, AND AFTER HE AWAKENS THE REMAINING POWER OF THE GREEN GHOST WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE, AND THEN KILL HIM, I CAN GET THE REMAINING POWER OF THE GREEN GHOST, HAHAHA"
"You..... I will never allow you to do that, and don't forget, I'm a vampire with eternal life. So you should never try to succeed! Mu Zichen said angrily. It looks like you're going to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but before the ceremony began, I remember you didn't say that, you were wrong! ”
He Yi didn't listen to what Mu Zichen said, he just said to himself: "Oh, that's right, yin and yang, that is, in the next life, your beloved master will come as a male, I will let him die safely without knowing anything, even if you helped me, I will give you the preferential treatment of your beloved!" ”
"You...."Mu Zichen was just about to speak, but he Yi's finger moved, pinching Mu Zichen fiercely. At this time, He Yi used his other hand to cover Mu Zichen's face, and began to recite the incantation, for a moment I saw that Mu Zichen's face was shrouded in a thick black mist, and slowly the black mist penetrated into Mu Zichen's body, and then He Yi let go of his hand, threw Mu Zichen on the ground, turned around and disappeared at the door.
I just wanted to walk over and see Mu Zichen's situation. At this time, I heard footsteps coming from the door, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, I saw a person in a red robe walking in, and when she was about to walk to Mu Zichen's side, I heard Mu Zichen say, "Don't come here!" Just stand there! With that, he sat up slowly and faced the man in red. I saw Mu Zichen sit up and spit out a mouthful of blood, probably seriously injured, but his current state always gives me a feeling that something is wrong, is it because of the black smoke?
When the man in red heard what he said, he stopped. And while taking off his hat, he complained: "Why did you run here, and you were injured!" As the Great Protector, isn't it to protect my safety, you can't do this, if something really happens, you can take care of it? There was a burst of majesty in his tone.
And as soon as she took off the cloak, I saw a face that I knew all too well, it was myself.... But it was just a familiar face, and I was shocked when I saw my bare skin, which was clearly a green ghost, blue and purple as a whole, and exuded a strange dark power. Is this what it looks like to be devoured by a green ghost? I also noticed that she was still wearing the Witch's Ring on her right thumb.
Mu Zichen didn't pay attention to my complaints, just sat on the ground and looked at her thoughtfully. At this time, I suddenly felt that a powerful force was gathering, it was me! Her originally calm face suddenly became extremely angry, and the whites of her eyes disappeared in an instant, and black blood vessels began to appear on her purple skin, and slowly I saw me rise in mid-air, leaned over to look at Mu Zichen on the ground, and said, "Those who disobey orders, die!" "This.... The tone of voice is definitely not my own, it is the voice of the green ghost. Don't.... Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Mu Zichen also rising in mid-air, it turned out that he could also fly! I thought to myself.
A knife pierced her heart, and my eyes widened with an incredulous look. It turned out that at the moment when I was thinking, Mu Zichen killed myself, I looked at Mu Zichen incredibly, only to see his eyes full of sadness, looked at me who fell to the ground affectionately, and said: "In the next life, you must defeat the demons in your heart and regain your freedom." No matter how long it takes to make this process, I will protect you! After speaking, he picked me up and walked out with a wooden expression, losing the person he loves the most, just like a child losing his most precious toy, but a strange smile flashed at the corner of Mu Zichen's mouth, just for a moment, and I didn't notice it.
I understood, I once dreamed that Mu Zichen's face was full of pain, like I rushed over, holding a knife in my hand, this is the scene. It turns out that all cause and effect are doomed. At this time, I suddenly heard a familiar voice around me, this voice was..... Mommy's voice!
I followed the direction of the sound, through the long hallway, through the doorway, and there was a blinding light in front of me. I opened my eyes and found my mom leaning over my bedside, looking at me worriedly. When she saw me wake up, my mother eagerly asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Are you sick? If you're not feeling well, just tell me, don't hide it...", my mother reached out and tried my forehead, and after making sure I didn't have a fever, she breathed a sigh of relief. I watched my mother's every move with a puzzled expression, and after a while, I asked, "Did something happen to me?" After hearing me, my mother said with a worried face: "Don't you know, I got up in the morning to make breakfast for you, thinking about it, didn't you say that you want to go back to your hometown today, finish dinner early and go to the car early." As a result, the meal was ready, and I didn't hear you get up, so I came to your house to call you, but it turned out that I couldn't wake you up no matter how much I screamed, at first I thought you were sick and fainted and fell asleep, but you breathed steadily, and it didn't look like you were sick at all, just at this moment...."Mom said this, and stopped, looking nervous, as if she was struggling with something. I asked, "What's wrong?" What happened right then? My mother listened to me, and looked at the ring on my right hand, and then I felt that something bad was about to happen. Mom didn't know that this was the Witch's Ring, but always thought it was an ordinary ring, at the beginning, Mom kept telling me, saying don't wear a ring at a young age, and when you are older, buy you a good one to wear. But I've always avoided this topic, so slowly my mother didn't care about it and let me wear it. But what secret did my mother discover about this ring when I was asleep today?
"Oh, tell me quickly, I'll give you an analysis, but maybe you're wrong. After all, the room is already dim with the curtains drawn! I said with a little playfulness. Sure enough, my mother's frowning brows also relaxed, and she took a deep breath and said, "I entered your room just now and found that no matter how much I screamed, I couldn't wake you up." I touched your forehead to see if you had a fever, but at this time I accidentally touched your arm, and I found that your arm was cold and cold, and there was no temperature at all, if you weren't breathing steadily, I would really think you... But then I noticed something strange about the ring on your right hand, which had vaguely turned into a thorn shape, and wrapped all your thumbs around it, as if it were sucking blood, and it was still wriggling. I thought it must be something that was the thing, so I tried to take off the ring, but the ring was like a life, and before I could touch it, it just disappeared, and I was really scared, because I saw that not only the ring was gone, but also... The finger on which you wore the ring disappeared, and then I was so scared that I shook and screamed at you, and then it took a long time for you to slowly wake up. ”
After hearing what my mother said, I was already shocked in my heart, but I couldn't let my mother get into this matter, even if it was impossible to understand, so I still pretended to think on the surface, and said slowly: "You must have read it wrong, how can an ordinary ring be so magical, you see" Speaking of this, I raised my right hand and saw that the [Witch's Ring] was intact on the thumb of my right hand, "Look, isn't it still there?" Intact, hehe, the fingers are too! My mother looked at it with fear, and after making sure that everything was normal, she slowly reached out and touched the skin of my arm, and found that as usual, there was no cold feeling at all. I saw that my mother's expression was completely relaxed at this moment, and continued: "This room is already not in the light, and if you close the curtains, the light will be even darker, so you must have seen it wrong!" Don't worry, it's okay. After saying that, my mother nodded.
After breakfast, my mother dropped me off at the station and watched me get on the bus back to County X before leaving. I sat in the car, remembering what happened in the morning, I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong, I thought about it for a long time, I didn't have any clue at all, I just didn't want to, now the main thing is how I can go back to the house on the mountain, I remember clearly, when I went down the mountain to the road, the road to the mountain disappeared, anyway, go home first, otherwise my mother called home and found that I didn't go back, then the matter is not easy to explain.
I didn't say anything all the way, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at X County. More than half a month has passed, X county has basically returned to the original prosperity, the streets and houses that were damaged by thorns before have now been fully repaired, and there are still many large shopping malls, buildings, and communities, which are still under construction, and it is estimated that they will be completely completed soon.
It's still a familiar road, a familiar community. But when I entered the patriotic community, I don't know if it was because of what another me told me, that I was buried underneath, or that I had become stronger after so long. As soon as I entered the community, I clearly felt that the whole community was filled with a cold atmosphere, and if I felt it carefully, I could also feel that there was a very powerful force hidden in this cold atmosphere. But this breath as a whole diffuses in every corner of the community, so to find the center point, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I stood in the neighborhood and couldn't help but shiver. Is it really me buried in the ground? Hundreds of years ago, was I really so powerful, I could be so powerful without relying on the power of the green ghost, but this cold aura was because of the [Blue Ghost Chain] I was wearing at that time?
At this time, I suddenly heard someone calling my name upstairs, I looked up at the voice, I saw my grandmother in front of the window, happily beckoning to me, and said loudly: "I was watching just now, I said who is standing there and not moving, it turns out that my eldest granddaughter is back, what are you standing there for, come up!" Come on! "Hearing my grandmother speak, I walked quickly into the unit and went upstairs. When the door was opened, the grandmother was as happy as a child, and she was overwhelmed with joy. At this time, my aunt walked out of my grandmother's room, looked at me and said happily: "Nana is back, your grandmother has been talking about you lately, saying that she misses you, and she was still talking about it just now, so you will come back!" ”
After a while, I chatted with my grandmother for a while, and my aunt stayed for a while and left, saying that my uncle was going to get off work, go back to cook, and come back tomorrow. In the evening, my father and aunt also came home and were very surprised to see me back, and prepared a lot of meat for me for dinner. Other than that, there was nothing to say that night.
The next day after breakfast, my father and aunt went to work, I called my aunt before I went out, asked when she was coming, I wanted to go out for a while, meet a friend, and ask my aunt to help take care of grandma. Then I went out, I came down the hill to the intersection of the road, but as I expected, there was no road, I wandered around for a while, there was still no road, could it be that my method was wrong? Do you want me to point in one direction and say, 'Sesame open the door?' 'Impossible, how can a vampire have such a humorous and open the door?' Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly noticed an old man coming out of nowhere, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair, but with a steady pace, and walked towards me. When I was approaching, I vaguely heard the old man say, "The green ghost shows the way, you need to donate blood!" With that, he walked briskly past me. I silently recited it again, and it suddenly dawned on my heart, could it be... At this time, I took out the knife I had given me, closed my eyes and slashed my hand, causing blood to drip to the ground, and then I took off the [Blue Ghost Chain] and put it in my hand, and silently said, "Please show me the way!" "When I opened my eyes again, I was shocked to find that there was a thick fog around me at some point, and in the fog, there was a road, and it must have been the road to the first house!
I walked quickly and excitedly, and after walking for a while, I reached the house, at the same time, the dense fog also dispersed and disappeared, and the sun shone down again, I looked around and found that the scenery was still very pleasant, standing here I could overlook the entire X county, and I could also see the strange mountains around X county, and feel the warmth of the sun, now it seems that this is still a paradise.
Then I walked to the door and knocked on the door, but to my disappointment, no one came to open the door. I tried to push the door, and sure enough, it wasn't locked! I walked in and found that it was still the same as when I left, clean and empty. "Kazui, are you there?" I tried to scream a few times, "Hey, anyone?" But after shouting for a long time, no one responded, and there was no movement in the house. I walked upstairs, wanting to make sure that Heyi was really not there, but I thought of what He Yi and I had said that day, "Next time, you must not go upstairs without my permission!" "I thought about the weird things that happened in the painting upstairs, but then I thought about it again, I'm a vampire now, what can they do with me, even if I'm angry with Yi, I'm no longer afraid, because I'm not the same person I used to be!
I searched the entire second floor, and I didn't see Heyi's figure at all, and the extremely realistic dragon totem in the middle of the corridor made me hairy, and after making sure that there was no one upstairs, I walked downstairs quickly. Back downstairs, I sat on the couch. It looks like I'm going to stay in County X for a while longer, until He Yi shows up, because there are too many questions I want to ask him, and there is.... Is he really going to kill me? But before that, can I do it and kill him?
