Chapter 17: A Dream About Him
At this moment, I couldn't think about anything anymore, my body was shaking uncontrollably, and I felt a fear that I had never felt before, not even when I became a vampire. I slumped in my chair, confused.
The other me, who was beside me, didn't say anything more when he saw my expression. He just silently took out his cigarette and lit it, and sat quietly on the side. After a while, I gradually eased up, to my surprise, she didn't leave, just looked at me, waiting for what I was going to say next, I took a long breath, trying to calm myself, at this time I asked: "There are more and more questions, I don't want to ask, I know enough today, it seems that everything has something to do with me, and I can't escape, so I have one last question" She nodded, and I continued: "Next, what should I do?" ”
"Go back to the original house, see Kazui, kill him, and then go back to the patriotic community, find a central point in the community, and draw the undead circle with your blood." With that, she handed me a yellowed knife. Then she continued: "After the undead circle is drawn, you need to wear the [Blue Ghost Chain] into the magic circle, recite the spell, if everything goes well, you will gain all the dark power, so as to control the green ghost, and importantly, all the memories of hundreds of years will also be remembered, and the [Witch's Ring], you will also understand." ”
I don't care if I can get infinite power, but it is very tempting for me to think of the blank memories of hundreds of years ago, and I want to know what happened hundreds of years ago, so that it continues to this day, and things are still not over, and they are still developing. But I can't kill 'Heyi', not to mention anything else, he once saved me, and I'm going to kill him!
"What do you think? Can you do what I just told you? "She saw that I had been silent and knew I was hesitating.
"I have no problem with anything else, except for killing Kazui, I can't do it!"
"Even if you don't kill him, once the green ghost recovers, he will kill him, and at that point, his death will not be ordinary. So you think, if you kill him, you can also give him a relief. It's better than letting him die a tragic death in the end and his soul being eaten away by the green ghosts, right? It also allows you to recover your own memory, understand what happened to everything, and gain the power to control the green ghost and avoid deterioration, the best of both worlds! Anyway, that's all, you can think for yourself, I don't have a problem if I don't go! She stopped looking at me and smoked a cigarette on her own.
I took out the knife she had given me just now, looked at it carefully, and I found that it was a bone knife, I don't know what the specific bone was, and there was a hand carved on the handle, as if it was a strange hand holding the knife, and the blade was densely engraved with unknown symbols, like a spell, and the engraved symbols, due to years of blood, have been a little blackened, and can faintly smell blood.
At this time, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang, and I was so frightened that I almost threw the knife out. I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and found that it was my mother calling, at this time I found out that the time was nearly twelve o'clock in the morning, and now it was over, and I went back to designate my mother to say that I was unconsciously so late. I picked up the phone, and sure enough, my mother said angrily on the phone: "You kid, what time is it, and you haven't come home yet, it's been so messy outside recently, what are you running around?" Come back quickly! With that, he hung up the phone.
The other self sitting behind me stood up and said, "That's it, you go back first, if you think about it, you can find time to go back, anyway, I'm not in a hurry about this, if you're not in a hurry, then take your time, but if I'm you, I'll hurry, after all..." I nodded and said, "I understand what you said, I'll think about it." Just as I was about to leave, she quickly walked up to me and said, "This memory is for you, you will understand it if you read it" and then she put her left hand over my forehead, only to feel a chill, nothing else is unusual.
I walked home quickly, and when I entered the door, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa with a serious face, and when she saw me come back, she asked sharply, "It's almost twelve o'clock, why did you go?" It's been a mess outside lately, can you let me save some snacks, I knew that I was so disobedient, I shouldn't have let you come to me, there were a lot of things to do every day, and the trouble was dead, so let's eat. Without waiting for me to speak, he walked into the kitchen and put away the dishes and chopsticks.
I sat at the table and didn't speak, just silently bowed my head and ate. This day is the day I know the most, and it's all about myself, so I've been sorting out the past I've heard today, my mother sat on the sofa and watched TV, and saw that I hadn't spoken since I entered the door, thinking that I had just spoken seriously, and said in a gentle tone: "I'm mainly worried about you today, you said how messy it has been recently, and it's missing and murderous, I see that you didn't come back so late, so I quickly called you, I was late from work, if something happens to you halfway, How do you ask me to explain to your dad. After I heard my mother speak, I came back to my senses and said, "I know, I was thinking about going out for a walk tonight, and when I saw someone skateboarding, I was in a trance, hehe, I definitely won't be next time, I must come back early." After saying that, my mother nodded. That's right," Mom said suddenly. "Where do you want to go this Saturday and Sunday? I'll go with you, and we'll go out for a walk. ”
"I want to go home to see my grandmother this week, so I won't accompany you this week, you rarely rest, rest at home." After saying that, I saw my mother's lost expression for a moment, but soon my mother said, "Okay, you've been out for almost half a month, and it's time to go back and have a look." After a while, you start school, and you don't usually have time to go home. I nodded. Next week, let's go out and visit the park, and eat something good. Mom smiled and made an OK gesture at me.
When I fell asleep that night, I was in a dream again. It was a snow-capped mountain, surrounded by a vast expanse, and there was no one in sight or a village except Xue. All around me, however, there are many towering rocks, which are very different in shape, they are made of jagged black rocks, and when you look up, you can only see the towering rocks, and the sky seems to be obscured. The surface of the rock is densely packed with holes, and from a distance, it looks like an eye, giving people a very oppressive feeling. At this time, I suddenly saw a behemoth flying in the sky in the distance, accompanied by a deafening cry, and it was only when the thing flew close that I recognized it as ..... Dragon? I saw the dragon fly straight towards me, and I knew it was just a dream about memories, so it couldn't hurt me, so I didn't hide. But the dragon stopped not far in front of me, under the black rocks. It turned out that there was a huge hole under the rock, and maybe the dragon lived there!
I walked over and found that there was no dragon in front of the entrance of the cave, but a father and son were warming themselves in the entrance. The man is about 50 years old, the child is about 178 years old, the child's body is very thin, as if a gust of wind can blow it down, the child's body seems to be bad, a sick look, the lips do not have any blood, and the man is the opposite, the strong body is full of solid muscles. Then I heard the child say, "Father, where have you been today?" It seems to have come back later than usual, I...."At this point, the child began to cough uncontrollably, and his body arched as the cough worsened. The father hurried to help the child and said, "I have gone to the village down the hill to see if there is any cure for your illness." The child stopped coughing at this point, gasping for breath in his father's arms, looking at his father. Xiao Yi, my child, don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness, after our dragon clan has gone through generations, only the two of us remain, so you are the hope of the dragon clan in the future, even if I try my best, I will find a way to cure you. The child nodded and fell into a deep sleep.
I stood in front of the entrance of the cave, and was stunned for a moment when I heard this, it turned out that this was Heyi when he was a child, and the other was his father. No wonder the other one I told me today that it would be useful for you to see this, she wanted me to see what was going on, so that I would no longer have mercy on Heyi, so that I could kill him without hesitation.
At this time, Kazui's father suddenly frowned and became alert. Then he turned into the form of a dragon and flew into the sky. Hovering in the sky for a long time. This scene is too spectacular, surrounded by strange rocks, standing on the white mountain, above the black rock hovering an incomparably huge dragon, the dragon will cover the whole sky, for a moment the sky is like a dark night, when the sun shines through the gap in the dragon's body on the snow, it is like a colorful gem, people are extremely fascinated.
I looked up and looked into God, and I didn't come back to my senses until Kazui's father returned to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Kazui's father hurriedly extinguished the fire next to the cave entrance, covered the traces with snow, and hid in the darkness deep in the cave with Kazui. Just when I was puzzled, I heard the sound of people talking not far away, and the sound was probably only a hundred meters away. I thought to myself, "On this deserted mountain, with such a thick layer of snow, no one would come to such a place." In other words, the person who came must not be an ordinary person, could it be ....." Just thinking about it, he saw a group of people in red robes not far ahead, led by a child who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and the others followed behind him. At this time, I heard the child in the lead say: "It is around here, I feel the breath of the dragon, not to mention the darkness in the sky just now, I conclude that it is the dragon, but it may have sensed our arrival!" After saying that, a group of people walked towards the black rock here.
I was surprised, the child was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his face was still immature and fading, but his words gave people a strong sense of oppression, which made people involuntarily want to surrender, and I felt that this child exuded a huge power, and vaguely smelled some blood, it seems that this child must not be simple.
As they spoke, the group of people had already walked to the vicinity of this black rock, and one of the people standing next to the leader said: "Master, why do we have to go to such great lengths to catch dragons, the [Chain of Green Ghosts] was created by vampires and green ghosts, as well as the powerful you of the previous generation, but why do you need the blood of the dragon to water the [Chain of Green Ghosts] now?" The kid glanced at the person next to him contemptuously, sneered, and said: "I thought that the [Chain of Green Ghosts] was already the most powerful existence, but I neglected the dragon clan, the dragon represents magic, as long as the dragon clan is completely destroyed, the magic will be completely revived, once the magic is revived, the [Chain of Green Ghosts] can have the most powerful power in the world, so as to suppress everything in the world, and then we will be able to suppress the red devil and combine the green ghost and the red devil." When all this is realized, I am the sky, the foundation of all things, and the world is completely ruled by us! With that, the crowd exclaimed, knelt down together, and cried out in unison: "Seek God's protection, we are your people, serving God for thousands of generations!" ”
I was standing in the snow not far away, and since it was just a dream, I didn't feel the cold at all. And what are the Red Devils? It's the first time I've heard it, and they call this child an 'adult', I remember Mu Zichen also said this time, could it be that the "adult" in his mouth refers to the child in front of him? So where is Mu Zichen now?
At this time I saw the men in red begin to scatter, searching rock by rock, and it seemed that today they were bound to find the dragon. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the father and son will be found sooner or later. I could only watch this happen, and I couldn't do anything, it had already happened, and no one could change what had happened. I don't want to watch it any further, I already know the ending. I sat on a stone next to me, looking at the vast snow-capped mountains in the distance, just as I experienced, people come to this world, feel the origin of all things in the world, is the beginning of all tragedy.
Then suddenly I heard a loud roar, a huge black dragon, flew out of the hole, the power of the whole rock smashed to pieces, the people in red who were searching around seemed to be frightened enough, one by one stunned in place, at this time I saw the black dragon rushing towards the child who was the leader, at that moment I understood, its target was the [Blue Ghost Chain] worn on the child's neck, it just heard everything, so it knew that only power could suppress Kazui's illness, so as to make him strong.
The young man at the head understood the dragon's intentions for a moment, only to see him stretch out a hand, in the direction where the dragon was flying, waved it gently, and then the wind blew, and the huge black dragon fell heavily on the rocks on the side, at the same time, I saw the young man clenched his hand in the direction of the dragon that fell to the ground in the distance, and the small hand held it, and actually lifted the huge dragon up, unable to move. At this time, the young man's eyes glowed red, and I knew that he had murderous intent. Immediately after that, the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly became cloudy, and the wind was raging all around, and there were faint miserable cries, as if they had come to hell in an instant. And the other men in red said, "Kill it!" Kill it! "I was surprised to see how much all this had changed not far away, but what was even more unexpected was that the boy suddenly withdrew his strength, threw the dragon on the snow, and then walked to the dragon, and put his hand on the dragon's head, just when I thought he was going to kill the dragon, suddenly he laughed, and the laughter resounded throughout the snowy mountains, and it seemed to be bright and innocent on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that the young man's eyes are as cold as darkness.
I saw him withdraw his hand on the dragon's head, look at the dragon that fell to the ground, and said condescendingly: "You are coming for it." As he spoke, he took off the [Blue Ghost Chain] and held it up in front of the dragon. The dragon's eyes widened instantly, looking at the [Chain of Green Ghosts] in front of him, and I looked at it with a blank face, not knowing what medicine was sold in the young man's gourd. The boy continued, "I can give it to you, you can take it." After speaking, the young man whispered a few times to the [Chain of Green Ghosts], then threw the [Chain of Green Ghosts] at the feet of the dragon, turned around and disappeared into the snow with everyone.
After everyone left, the dragon returned to its human form, stood up, held the [Chain of Green Ghosts] in his hand, and walked towards the cave. I followed him closely, and when I got to the cave, the man went into the darkness and picked up the weak Kazuyi, who looked too weak, and there were so many things going on outside, and he didn't wake up at all, and he was still asleep.
The man woke up with care, and he opened his eyes weakly, looked at the man, and called out to his father. The man helped him to sit up, raised the [Blue Ghost Chain] in his hand to He Yi's eyes, and said in surprise: "Xiao Yi, look, I have finally found a way to cure your illness." A look of surprise flashed in Kazui's eyes, but then it was masked by a violent cough. The man quickly patted Kazui on the back, wanting him to relieve him of the pain a little. After a while, He Yi said, "Father, where did you get this necklace from?" Didn't hurt anyone, right? The man touched He Yi's head dotingly, and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yi, I won't hurt humans, come on, bring it quickly." After saying that, he carefully put the [Blue Ghost Chain] on Kazui's neck.
I stood outside the cave and watched it all. There are thousands of thoughts in my heart, and I really respond to the sentence 'Creation makes people', wearing the [Chain of Green Ghosts] is the beginning of the tragedy, if you don't wear it, you will be tortured by endless diseases, and finally die tragically. Two different life trajectories, but the ending is the same tragic. But I also found one thing, it turned out that the [Chain of Green Ghosts] was originally blue-purple, and the whole was translucent, and from a distance, you can also see a little black smoke floating inside. It turns out that the [Chain of Green Ghosts] was originally like this, but why does the [Chain of Green Ghosts] become translucent milky white after a few hundred years?
And what was even more unexpected to me was that nothing unusual happened to Kazui after wearing the [Blue Ghost Chain], nor was he unconscious like I was at the beginning, but just like an ordinary necklace, it was just an ornament at first glance. But as he wore it for more and more time, he gradually recovered from his condition and became stronger, but the only strange thing was that Kazui's skin became more and more pale, like a dead man. At first, after Yi's father found out, he didn't pay too much attention to it, but he felt that the child's illness was cured, his body was much stronger, and his pale skin didn't seem to have any effect, so he let it develop. But when Kazui's father realizes the seriousness of the problem and wants to stop it, it's too late.
Just about a month after Kazui put on the [Blue Ghost Chain], the sky on the snowy mountain was overcast that day, as if the sky would collapse at any time, which made people panic. With a terrible scream, the sky began to churn with lightning, and the wind whistled more violently, and then I saw Kazui come out of the cave, naked, and his skin was no longer bloodless, and then he raised his head, a pair of blood-red eyes, and sharp fangs, exposed, I just looked at it, and I trembled with fear. Kazui's exposed skin has all turned blue-purple, and black blood vessels can be faintly seen. I saw him walk to the open space outside the cave, open his arms, just when I thought he was going to turn into a dragon, but I saw a lightning bolt across the sky, a huge thunder slashed down, and then I heard the dragon's miserable cry, I thought it was the sound of He Yi turning into a dragon, but when I saw it clearly, I found that it was not He Yi, but the scream of his father raised in his hand, he had turned into a dragon, but he was easily grabbed by He Yi, unable to move in mid-air, and at the same moment when the thunder struck down, Kazui bit his father's neck, accompanied by thunder and the screams of dragons, mixing it all up, and there was no going back! Then I saw Kazui throw the dying dragon aside and draw a circle out of his own blood, which I recognize, this is the circle that summons the green ghosts. After everything was ready, he took off the [Chain of Green Ghosts], placed it in the center of the circle, and recited the spell to summon the green ghosts, at this time I saw that the sound of ghosts crying wolves began to faintly come from the magic circle, like countless evil ghosts howling, as the sound became louder and clearer, black smoke began to appear in the circle, although I was only conscious in the dream, but I also felt the extreme coldness of the smoke, and it seemed to be mixed with the power of darkness that bewitched people's hearts.
At this time, I saw a huge figure appear in the black mist, and as the figure became clearer and clearer, I saw it, it was a green ghost! The green ghost is black and purple, even the eyeballs are black, sharp teeth, and looks at He Yi condescendingly. Kazui bowed down in front of the green ghost as if he were his people. At this time, I heard a cold voice all around: "Why is the [Chain of Green Ghosts] there with you?" Why did you call me? He Yi said respectfully: "I heard my father say that it was given to my father by a young man in red, and I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I have been tormented by illness all year round, and my life is short, and then my father will wear the [Blue Ghost Chain] on me!" After hearing this, the green ghost stretched out a pair of blue-black hands, pointed at He Yi with long nails and said, "Take it!" He Yi put his left hand on the blue and black hands of the green ghost, and the moment he Yi's hand touched the green ghost's hand, there was an eerie laugh all around, it was the green ghost laughing!
The laughter lasted for half a minute, and then the green ghost said, "What is the purpose of you calling me?" After the green ghost finished speaking, Kazui stood up and said, "I know that my life is short, and once my body is completely swallowed by the darkness, I will no longer be me." I know that you have made a contract with someone else, and I think it must be so tempting that Lord Blue Oni would rather wait for thousands of years for the final result. But have you ever thought that if there is any interlude in the middle of the way, if there is any change in the person you signed the contract, it will all be in vain? When the green ghost heard this, he asked, "My child, what can you do?" He Yi was excited to hear that the green ghost actually called him 'my child', and said more confidently: "I can complete this task for you, and the cycle is shorter, I only need you to sign a contract with me to let my soul live for a few more years, I promise to complete the task!" The green ghost seemed to be very interested in Kazui, and there was a strange laugh all around.
After the laughter stopped, the green ghost said coldly, "Don't be ashamed! Do you know what pact I made with him? He Yi said without hesitation: "Eradicate the Red Devils!" After hearing this, the green ghost waved his hand, and then a black fog filled the surroundings, and the green ghost gradually became blurred at this time, and finally in the fog, the words of the green ghost came, "I will not sign a contract with you, exchange your remaining soul, I will borrow your dark power, two hundred years, you are so self-sufficient!" After saying that, the black mist dispersed, and the circle disappeared. At this time, I saw another pattern on Kazui's back that was the same as the center of the circle, a pair of 'green ghost eyes', could this be the mark left after exchanging souls?
But I didn't see a similar mark on my body, so what was the sign of the contract after I signed a contract with the green ghost hundreds of years ago?
