Chapter 52: The Soul Contract (28)

I'm hoping that they will lose both sides of the fight and get away with it.

All of a sudden, they all turned their faces away and stared at me viciously.

Ouch, not good! I was probably so engrossed in my mind that I didn't pay attention to control the expression on my face.

I screamed that it was not good.

Sure enough, a green light flashed in her eyes, and her face was flushed with chalk, and the "droplets" that covered me shrank and wrapped tightly around me. My eyes suddenly became white, my head weighed a thousand pounds, but my body was light, as if the wind would blow and fly into the sky.

Uh, there's really a cold wind blowing! I watched myself fly up and lean towards them. Odd! Bai Wuchang actually let go of his long eyebrows, and Xiao Zhen's huge claws flashed in front of my eyes, and they pressed them on my head. Finished! Grabbed by this "Nine Yin White Bone Claw", my little head ...... I closed my eyes in fright.

There was a subtle tingling pain in the neck, followed by a chill in the wrist. I didn't feel anything in my head, but I heard her whisper in surprise.

"How could it be...... No soul?! She muttered to herself in disbelief.

I hurriedly opened my eyes.

I saw her standing opposite me in astonishment, her huge claws had been retracted, and her left hand was holding a spirit stone with half a red thread hanging down, but she couldn't stop looking at her right hand, and on her right hand was the transparent "water droplet".

I quickly checked myself, my head was intact, my mind was clear, my hands and feet were complete, and nothing was out of the ordinary.

In addition, there is another string of "Soul Splitting Beads" on the wrist that will disappear automatically and appear automatically!

The ball shook and fell back to the ground, and it regained its white and impermanent appearance.

It looked puzzled.

"She doesn't have a soul? How is this possible? ”

"My Nine Lives...... I can't even find her soul, and the spirit stone is obviously here, how can it be? She looked up at me with a look on her face as if she were looking at a deformed monster.

I squeezed out a wry smile: "Don't scare me!" I...... can eat and sleep, cry and laugh; Clear thinking and normal mental ...... How can there be no soul? You must be mistaken! ”

She ignored my words, just stared at me intently, thinking about something.

My heart was cold, as if it were about to freeze.

But the beads on my wrist refused to be peaceful, and they tightened for a while, making me want to cut off my hand.

"Do you have any other magic weapons on you?" She asked suddenly.

I didn't think about it, and I lifted my sleeves: "Oh, there are beads!" ”

She didn't say a word, but reached out to grab the beads.

A faint black light flashed on the bead, and the Nine Lives in her hand spun around, as if it was vibrated by some invisible force.

She took a step back, a sudden look on her face: "I understand!" ”

At the same time, another familiar voice sounded together: "I understand it too!" ”

I tilted my head slightly, and an expected figure, Yun Tengjiao, appeared beside me with great interest.

"You...... What do you understand? "A strange feeling of indistinguishability permeated my heart, as if I was panicked, as if I was afraid.

"It turns out that you didn't make a contract with the spirit stone at all!" Yun Tengjiao said with a smile, with a faint sense of relief in his tone.

"None? How can you be sure? "It was great news, but I had a dry throat and cold hands and feet, but I didn't feel any joy.

"If you have concluded a soul contract, your three souls should be attached to the spirit stone." Yun Tengjiao glanced at "Xiao Zhen" and explained, "She got the spirit stone, and she used the Nine Lives to extract your soul. ”

"However, neither the spirit stone nor your body has your soul in it, so it is natural to deduce that you have not concluded a contract!"

"And where is her soul?" Bai Wuchang interjected and asked.

Xiao Zhen glanced at Yun Tengjiao coldly, her eyes full of viciousness.

"Hehe, her soul is on this string of soul splitting beads I sent!" Yun Tengjiao smiled brightly, and met Xiao Zhen's fierce eyes without fear, "However, this is not deliberately designed and arranged by me!" ”

"The Soul Splitting Bead is also a spiritual magic weapon. It will choose its own master, and what it does is determined by heaven, and it cannot be controlled by external forces at will! Yun Tengjiao said meaningfully.

This passage was clearly addressed to me!

My soul is on the Soul Splitting Orb, not the Spirit Stone, and I didn't make a soul contract!

So, who, did the contract come to fruition? I asked myself blankly, and a ray of despair came to my mind, like a rope that was constantly wrestling, slowly tightening......

"It's a little weird, master!" Bai Wuchang half-lowered his head respectfully towards Yun Tengjiao, "Isn't she the current owner of the Spirit Stone?" She didn't make a contract, so who made it? ”

"Hmph, so you're its 'master'!" Jane's tone was eerie.

"I'm just the master's ......"

"Didn't you frame my shadow too? Everyone doesn't have to mind each other too much! Yun Tengjiao interrupted Bai Wuchang's words, stared at Xiao Zhen with a smile and asked, "Now, do you still want spirit stones?" ”

Her face suddenly turned iron-blue!

The spirit stone in his hand has now become a hot potato, and he can't take it or throw it!

"What do you want to do? Give you the spirit stone? She sneered.

"That's fine! However, in my opinion, it is better to ......" He deliberately said half slowly, and then pointed at me with his hand, "Give her back the spirit stone!" ”

After a moment of silence, she let out a long sigh, shoved the spirit stone she was holding into my hand, and walked straight away without looking back.

"Hey, why is this cat so obedient?" Bai Wuchang watched her leave and muttered in surprise.

I stared blankly at the lost spirit stone in my hand, and my heart was cold.

"Cousin, cousin...... The Soul Returns! "A pair of slender hands shook from side to side in front of my eyes.

"What for?" My voice was weak.

"Congratulations on escaping this catastrophe!" He seemed happier than I was.

"Well, thank you." I pulled out a smile as if I was smiling, very reluctantly.

"Cousin, why are you upset? There is no contract, which means you can rest easy in the future! Isn't that great news for you? He said with a smile.

"Uh-huh." I nodded nonchalantly, then turned to leave.

"Cousin, you look like a mourner, are youβ€”what ulterior secrets do you know?" He grabbed me, his dark eyes shining with a deep light, little by little, as if he could see the bottom of my heart.

"Nope! I don't know anything! "I flatly denied that, due to the dryness of my throat, my voice was hoarse, like sand rubbing the ground.

He looked me up and down, carefully and carefully, and the look in his eyes changed from sharp to scrutinized, slowly softened, and finally became natural.

"Cousin, sometimes turning a blind eye is not a good way to hide from the truth!" He sighed slightly.

I was silent.

He wanted to say something more, but suddenly turned his head sideways and listened: "Well, someone is calling you!" Probably there's trouble again! ”

There was an anxious call in the wind, which sounded like Xu Shan's voice. When I turned around again, Yun Tengjiao and Bai Wuchang had disappeared into the haze of dust.

Uh, I forgot that Ge Hong and Xu Shan have been waiting for me in the hall, it can't be that something happened to the shard, right?

"Xu Shan, what's wrong? What about Ge Hong? I asked.

"No...... I don't know! Xu Shan's expression was panicked, "We have been waiting for you in the hall." Ge Hong suddenly said that she was dizzy, and I wanted to help her...... Then I saw a shadow on the wall...... Like, like Principal Gao! I screamed and turned around...... Only...... I can't find Ge Hong! ”

She shuddered, her lips trembled up and down, and her face turned blue.

"It's okay, it's okay! Maybe you're too nervous and dazzled, let's find out again! I hurriedly comforted her.

I couldn't say anything about my panic and anxiety, so I could only force myself down, and I half-dragged Xu Shan to find Ge Hong.

We searched all over the school.

How similar is this to the scene when we were looking for Mo Qianqian and Zhang Lu that day! My heart is colder.

The class bell finally rang.

Xu Shan and I reluctantly returned to the classroom.

As soon as we entered the door, the two of us raised our eyes and shouted in unison: "Ge Hong! ”

In the second row of seats in front of the podium, who was not Ge Hong sitting safely?

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the other classmates, Xu Shan and I rushed straight over.

"Where did you just go?"

"How are you? You...... Oops...... "In a panic, I tripped over the leg of the table and fell to the ground with a thud.

The right hand was propped up on the uneven ground, and the palm of the hand was painful! I raised my hand and saw that a large piece of skin had been torn and a faint mark of blood had been printed on the concrete floor.

Several hands reached out to help me up.

"Oh, it's a big piece, let's go to the infirmary!"

"What's so urgent? Look at the fall like this! ”

"You...... You okay? ”

"Are you alright? Is there any other place where you are falling? ”

I looked up, and in front of me were Chang Qing and Qi Zhen's concerned faces, Ge Hong and Xu Shan supported me, patting the dust for me, and asking if there were any other injuries.

I stared at them, and a faint fishy smell wafted through the air, like tears in my heart, and like the smell of blood.

The blood on his hand gushed out more, condensed into a large drop, and dripped to the ground with a "click".

My heart fluttered violently, many long-forgotten memories jumped out at once, many traces that I had deliberately ignored were so vividly revealed, outlining the outline of the truth!

I twitched the corners of my mouth, smiled, and said lightly, "I'm fine." I was in a hurry to see it clearly. ”

Maybe my smile was too bitter, maybe my tone was too bleak, and they all couldn't help but show a look of uneasiness

"Xu Shan and I will accompany you to the infirmary!" Ge Hong said.

I nodded and said to Chang Qing, "Wait a while, ask the teacher for leave for us." ”

I squeezed my wrists, raised my arms, and walked to the door.

Behind me, two eyes of doubt and pain followed me for a long time.

I walked out calmly without hesitation.

After stopping the bleeding, in the process of taking the medicine, the school doctor looked at my injured palm and looked at it, and he wanted to speak and stopped, looking very surprised.

I just didn't know, I hung my head and looked at the ground, with a look of indifference.

Because I know why he was surprised.

The flame-shaped burn in the palm of his right hand was originally extremely pale black, and if you don't look closely, you can basically ignore it; But today, after the skin is broken and bleeding, it seems to be soaked in blood, it is becoming more and more red, and now as long as you spread your hand, it is clearly and vividly displayed in front of you, which is very shocking!

After taking the medicine, the school doctor hesitated, but wrapped my right hand carefully and layer by layer with clean gauze. When he couldn't see the strange burn, he sighed softly, "Okay." Be careful these days, don't get wet, and don't get dirty, otherwise the wound will become infected and suppurated! ”

I nodded.

"Hey, the ...... in your hand It's a bit quirky, and it's better to go to the big hospital! Before leaving the door, the school doctor instructed.

He replied and walked out of the infirmary without looking back.

On the way back to the classroom, I was silent.

Xu Shan looked at my hand several times and wanted to ask, but finally held back.

At the end of the aisle, Ge Hong spoke: "Your hand...... It doesn't matter, right? ”

"It doesn't matter. But you, obviously in the hall, why did you disappear all of a sudden? It scared Xu Shan and me. I said calmly.

"Where is it missing? I suddenly felt very dizzy, so I went to the classroom to rest first. She explained with a smile, "I was lazy for a while, I didn't tell you, I'm sorry!" ”

Xu Shan glanced at her, her expression was quite unnatural: "Oh, don't leave without saying a word in the future, I thought ...... Scare us enough! ”

Ge Hong hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and said mischievously: "Yes, obey!" The villain will not dare in the future! ”

Xu Shan was soft-hearted, and when she said this, her expression softened greatly.

I asked, "What about the fragment?" ”

"Throw it away! What's wrong? Ge Hong asked rhetorically.

She looked indifferent, as if it were a trivial matter.

I stared at her intently, and she let me stare indifferently, with the same expression on her face and a calm look in her eyes.

It took me a long time before I said, "Nothing." That thing is so evil, just throw it away! ”

Ge Hong smiled silently.

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong.

"Don't worry about me. Lo and behold, you're in trouble! Ge Hong looked at Xu Shan, pointed his hand, and a person came in the direction of the classroom, but when he looked closely, he was evergreen.

"How are you?"

"It's fine." I raised my bandaged hand.

"Chen Qiu came to our classroom and said that he had just bumped into a cat...... "Out of the corner of Changqing's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Ge Hong and Xu Shan listening with their ears pricked up, and quickly changed his words, "I bumped into 'Xiao Zhen'." After class in a while, let's go to the corridor of class 5 and wait for her! ”

Because Ge Hong and they were there, I didn't ask any more.

By the time I got to the classroom, I was halfway through the lesson. We hurriedly sat down, and the teacher continued to lecture. Qi Zhen couldn't stop looking at me, as if he had a lot to say, but I looked at the teacher without squinting, as if I was listening carefully to the class.

There is a distance, not that they are far away, but that they are right next to you, but they don't know what each other is thinking!

After class, we walked to the playground with Chen Qiu. Without waiting for her to ask, I recounted in a steady tone the events of my birth in the woods. Only Ge Hong's anomaly was hidden, and I didn't want to make a fuss. Although Bai Wuchang's true face and its relationship with Yun Tengjiao surprised the three of them a lot, the fact that I did not conclude a soul contract surprised them even more.

"You don't have a contract, so who is it? Fear...... Someone is lying! Qi Zhen stared at Chen Qiu with burning eyes and said in a sullen voice.

"What do you mean? Do you doubt Chen Qiu? Chang Qing asked, tilting his head.

"Isn't that right? Only she is the wizard descendant of the gluttonous clan, and only she has the ability to conclude a contract! Qi Zhen's emotions became excited.

"But she has already said that she has no inheritance, and she cannot enter into a contract......"

"Empty words, who wouldn't!"

……

"Stop arguing! This thing is really ...... It's so weird! Don't say it's you, even I can't help but wonder if I made a contract? Chen Qiu's expression was extremely confused, "Otherwise, the Golden Silkworm Shadow will never appear!" ”

"If you think about it again, will there be anyone in your clan who can control the power of the spirit stone?" Chang Qing asked eagerly.

"Clan? No, it won't! Except for wizards, no one can control the power of the spirit stone! Chen Qiu shook his head again and again.

"My great-grandmother has been dead for sixty years, and the person who snatched the stone has been dead for many years, who else will there be?" Chen Qiu muttered to himself.

"It can't be their ghosts!" Chang Qing rushed out, and then smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry! …… I forgot that your wizards have no soul! ”

"Souls? That's right! If a contract is really concluded, won't his three souls remain on the spirit stone? Chen Qiu's eyes lit up.

"What do you mean......" Chang Qing asked in surprise.

"I have a way of knowing who made the contract!" Chen Qiu said very happily.

"What can you do? Didn't you say you're not a wizard? Qi Zhen was dismissive.

"Of course I'm not. But I have a way! Chen Qiu showed a rare bright smile.

"What's wrong with you today? Uncomfortable? We've been talking for so long, and you don't answer a word? Turning his head, Chen Qiu looked at me strangely.

"Well, my hand hurts terribly." I waved my right hand wrapped in gauze.

"Will it hurt the bones? Do you want to go to the hospital? Chen Qiu asked worriedly.

"No, I don't. Is there any way you can find out who made the contract? "I'll pick up where I left off.

"You'll find out at night." Chen Qiu smiled.

"At night? I can't get out. I shook my head, "This morning, our family's antique wall clock suddenly caught fire and burned to charcoal, and my mother will probably scold for a long time at night." Otherwise, I'll tell you the results tomorrow! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Good. Chen Qiu nodded.

"I'll go back to the classroom first." Without waiting for Qi Zhen and Chang Qing to say anything more, I walked away happily.

A few staccato words drifted through the wind.

"How did she ......?"

"Like...... Something wasn't quite right......"

"Evening ......"

……

...
