Chapter Twenty-Five: He's Finally Here
The sound of the brass bell echoed in my head for a long time.
As if in a dream, I actually dreamed of an absurd dream I once had-------- the Milky Way was clearly displayed in front of me, the white and bright full moon was hanging in the sky, ancient alleys, old courtyards, glazed tiles.
There was a woman of good shape, dressed in a plain white silk dress in the drizzle and hazy, playing the lute, and the strings were full of sorrow. Her figure and posture came to life in that ancient moment, like a dream.
There is also a figure of a man with his back to her beside her, which is beautiful, I have an indescribable sense of familiarity, even if I don't see the face, just a back I will feel very familiar!
The ink-haired man looked up and listened to her music quietly, his clothes wet but unaware!
The woman said resolutely while playing the lute, "Let's all let it go, while everything is still in time." ”
"Don't think! When your soul is destroyed, I will chase you to the ends of the earth! ”
The man suddenly reached out and threw his hand over the woman's shoulder, and I could see their faces clearly.
The man is the demon man I met in the boy forest for a long time.
Woman, it's exactly the same as I was born! It's very similar to the dream I had before, but the scene has changed.
I suddenly had a bad feeling that I had been dreaming of that haunting demon man a lot lately, was he about to find me?
Before the woman could continue to speak, I was suddenly awakened by the cry of the yellow warbler.
After a while, the afterimage that remained in my heart faded away, becoming more and more blurred. The illusion in the dream disappeared without a trace.
Immediately, I felt as if I was in an abyss, and she had nothing to support but let her body continue to fall.
Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from my head: "Your body is so comfortable. ”
As the voice disappeared suddenly, I woke up suddenly, and raised my hand to wipe the cold sweat from my forehead.
Blinded by the dazzling light, looking around, the mirror-bright tiles, round arched windows and continuous cloisters are both quaint and magnificent.
Before I came back to my senses after opening my eyes for a moment, a voice suddenly came into my ears: "I don't know anything about the streets of a foreign country, and you dare to come alone, I'm afraid that there is no one before or since." Xiao Zunli put on a sneering posture and sneered.
Damn, how is he! "Where is this?"
"Isn't that where you've always wanted to be, Soul Wish Pavilion?"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately came to my senses and sat up from the bed, could it be that he didn't plan to embarrass me?
"So you made the brass bell I just heard?"
Xiao Zunli glanced at her disdainfully, with a slightly angry tone: "If I don't shake the soul bell, I'm afraid you don't know which illusion you have broken into now." ”
Dreamland? What happened before was just a fantasy? "Then you're not going to embarrass me, aren't you?" I cautiously asked my guess. He was stunned for a moment, and a pair of ink-like eyes glared at me sharply: "Embarrassed? Are you embarrassed by my request? ”
"What are you staring at me for, aren't you?" Because he himself said that there is no hurry, what I have is time to think about it slowly. Is there no time for me to think about it now, or what?
"Okay, I could have let you go for the sake of Long Qianye's face and didn't make demands on you, but now that you think of me like this, if I don't implement the so-called embarrassment in your mouth, I will be a little embarrassed!"
After saying that, he looked at me for a long time, as if he could see through my clothes to the innermost part of me.
"Then you say, what do you want, give a happy word!"
He chuckled softly, and watched my eyes shine little by little, revealing a full sense of imperativeness: "I said, I just want to taste the taste of your demons, that's all." ”
"Demons, demons, demons, demons and demons! One or two say I'm a demon, what the hell is a demon? ”
I looked at Xiao Zunli angrily, and I couldn't go up and down in my throat in one breath, and my heart was even more anxious. It's like everybody knows the truth, and you're the only one who is left in the dark and can't do anything.
He just looked at me and didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the room almost dropped to a freezing point.
Why? Why do people become dumb at the mention of this crucial point? I have a terrible feeling for the word demon now! What kind of species is this, why is everyone afraid of it, and there is a lot of interest?
After a while, he squinted, as if he was looking at another person through my eyes, and said sonorously and forcefully: "The demon is, there is a demon soul living in your body." Since your body itself has a special structure that few people know, the demon soul is a demon, and you yourself are neither a demon nor a human, referred to as a demon. ”
Demon Spirits? I immediately thought that Tong Zilin's demon man once let a girl named Jin'er enter my body, so that girl was actually the demon soul that Xiao Zunli said?
My God, the more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes, that is to say, in the strange stories in the ancient books and classics that I read when I was a child, what is said is not deliberately made up but is real?
No wonder, no wonder that the demon man repeatedly emphasized what he wanted to borrow and resurrect his soul, and what Xiao Zun said just now, no wonder the demon man would say such cruel things to me that day.
Especially what he said: I forgot to tell you that sooner or later your body will be Jin'er's, if you dare to hurt my Jin'er, I will tear your soul into pieces and throw it into the pool of blood and never be reincarnated! It still sticks in my memory!
It's ridiculous, but now that the facts are in front of me, I still don't believe it
"So, that thing has been living in my body for a long time, she, will she, will she, will she replace me?"
"Do you want her to exist in your place?" Xiao Zunli did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Nonsense, no one else would think about it, okay?"
Think of the terrible image of someone who is completely different from you taking your place as a puppet in your place!
It's like when I first arrived in Dongcheng, but whenever I lay down and was about to fall asleep, the girl who was called Jin'er by the demon man seemed to be deeply imprinted in my blood, even in my dreams.
Shuttling through my body from time to time, in my dreams, sometimes I am a person in the game, but more often, I am more like a bystander, watching my body being shuttled by another girl, and I, the real owner of the body, have been removed, I can only listen, I can only see, I can't say a word, and it is difficult to do a single act of resistance!
"Your blood is connected, almost has been integrated, in the early stage, if the demon soul in your body has half a mistake, it will immediately harm your physical body, and if something happens to your body, the demon soul in your body will be implicated, and in the later stage, she will completely replace you."
Xiao Zunli looked at me calmly, but his cold voice was like a ghost of hell, which made me feel chills all over.
"So, what about me?"
"You? You don't exist anymore. His face was light and he chuckled.
He said it easily, I was calm on the surface, but in fact my heart was already turbulent, and a strong fear arose. At the beginning, it was because I couldn't accept that the two souls proposed by the demon man in Tong Zilin shared a body, so Daddy polished the concentric lock and the centrifugal lock into an object and sewed it on the center of my foot, and I avoided the demon man and fled to Dongcheng, if things really evolved into what Xiao Zunli just said, wouldn't everything be back to square one?
How can this be? I can't let her exist in my place under any circumstances, the body is my own, how can I teach the control to others?
I secretly calmed the emotions stirring in my heart, and asked him softly and tentatively, "Then, is there any way to get her out?" ”
"Little girl, do you know what you're talking about? Demon souls are not an ordinary race, they are almost the most noble existence in the other world. ”
"Hehe, it's my honor to be able to inhabit my body and replace me, according to your wishes?"
He frowned, and instead looked at me in surprise, as if he didn't quite understand my rhetorical question.
After a while, he confided a maddening sentence: "You are very special." ”
At this moment, there was a green light in the room, and the half-bright light swayed gently, shining on the sandalwood bookcase, the doors and windows suddenly opened and closed, and the leaves outside the window rustled, as if welcoming someone in the middle of the night.
I smelled a familiar smell that could not be more familiar, it was a ---------- and elegant fragrance that belonged to the bewitching man of Tong Zilin. The fragrance is very light, very light, but it is fragrant and intoxicating.
At the same time, Xiao Zunli hurriedly got up, stared at the doors and windows that kept opening and closing, and muttered to himself, his tone deep and distant: "He's here." ”
The incense burned in the incense burner in front of the bed turned into wisps of green smoke, which almost lingered throughout the room.
I also followed Xiao Zunli's gaze to the half-open door, my God, when I saw someone coming, my heart suddenly beat wildly, almost immediately jumping to my throat.
I covered my mouth and stared in horror at the very familiar figure outside the door, it was him! It's really him, the man I still haven't been able to stay away from-------- the demon man of Tong Zilin.
He held an ivory folding fan, still dressed in a plain robe, and wore a blue satin foundation and boots, making a crisp sound in the silence of the room, and every step was like a bell striking on my heart. So the memories invaded like a cold wave, and the past came like a tide.
