Chapter 424: Speechless
Suddenly, I saw a black shadow rushing towards me, this feeling was so familiar, it reminded me of a scene that happened not long ago, in a flash of lightning, I moved to the side in time, avoiding the attack of the black shadow.
Sure enough, when I came to my senses and looked at the shadow, I saw that the shadow was an ordinary woman, with simple hair in a bun and plain clothesβshe was the mother of the child. From the first time she saw me, she had a lot of malice towards me, but I didn't know where this malice came from, and now, her child was injured by me again, and the resentment in her eyes was even more obvious.
Looking at this woman, although I knew that it would not help, I still opened my mouth and apologized sincerely: "I'm really sorry for hurting your child, but you have to know that there is a reason." I glanced at the child who was abandoned on the ground by her, and saw that the child finally woke up, and I don't know when, he sat up carefully, and looked at the people around him with a blank face, and I said to her in surprise: "Look, your child has woken up, you and I can treat him, and I can treat him and heal his wounds." With that, I walked briskly towards the child, but after taking two steps, I was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.
I looked back in surprise, only to see the woman holding my hand, looking at me indifferently, I pursed my lips, prompted: "Your child ......" but was suddenly interrupted by her, she glanced at the child coldly, and then sneered and said, "Do you still want to pretend with me?" Didn't you recognize me a long time ago? β
I looked at her silently, pulled my hand out of her hand, and then lowered my head and slowly rubbed the wrist that was pinched by her, until the pain in my wrist subsided, and then slowly said to her: "From the first time I saw you, I guessed that you were a monster, but I'm really not sure, and her acting skills are so good, just now when you hugged the child and cried, you almost deceived me, because my mana has been a little weak recently." β
When she heard me say this, she frowned, and a trace of imperceptible remorse flashed in her eyes, she should have regretted revealing her identity, but she still smiled casually and motioned for me to continue. I ignored her look and continued, "However, when I saw you leave the child to chase me, I knew that you were a monster. β
She clapped her hands lightly and nodded approvingly: "It's worthy of being a ghost mother, with you as my opponent, I don't think it's so bad." β
I smiled at her, "Each other, but you're still better than me, I'm really curious, what kind of monster are you, I can't see your real body." She smiled sequely at me, obviously not belonging to a Xiangye woman's expression: "If you want to know, you can only rely on your ability, I won't reveal it." β
"It's okay." I interrupted her directly, took two steps towards her, then stared into her eyes tightly, slowed down my voice and said, "I'm not interested in you anyway, I'm more interested in something on you." β
As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that her face immediately changed, and she stiffened back a few steps, and retorted unnaturally: "What nonsense, what is there in me?" I really don't know what you're talking about. β
I didn't think to poke out, looking at the way she looked evasive, I was even more convinced that the candlestick was the candlestick I saw in my dream, and I saw with my own eyes that when the child suddenly went crazy, she stood next to the candlestick, and there must be something wrong with the candlestick, and it is very likely that she used the candlestick to manipulate the child.
I stopped talking nonsense with her, my eyes were sharp, and I approached her, she saw me approaching, and she no longer panicked at the beginning, the whole person was on alert, and her eyes began to flash with a faint green light, and she actually took the lead in waving at me, seeing her palm with the wind slashing towards me, I couldn't avoid it, and quickly lowered my waist, but the palm wind in the intention did not hit, I straightened up, only to realize that it was just a trap, she made a fake move on me, and when I was dodging, I actually ran away, I looked at the empty field in front of me in annoyance, thinking that I was really too careless, I gritted my teeth, raised my legs and prepared to chase after me.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Don't worry, I can see her, I'll show you the way, you hurry up and chase her." A familiar voice cameβit was Bi An, he hadn't spoken for so long, I almost forgot about him. Now I heard his voice coldly, I was pleasantly surprised and a little dissatisfied, I felt that I was about to be abandoned by them in this world, and Zhu Liu didn't greet me, the more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, but I felt that if I opened my mouth, it would seem very hypocritical, and under this contradictory psychology, I was also sullen, just a faint "um".
But Bi An and Zhu Liu didn't notice it, and they didn't have any explanation, Bi An directly commanded me: "Now that she has arrived at the willow forest in the clan, you quickly take a shortcut and chase after it, and I will tell you how to go." "I was going to say a few more words, but when I heard him talk about the whereabouts of the youkai, I weighed it up and decided to get down to business first.
After making up my mind, I directly looked up and shouted to Bi An: "Quick, tell me how to go." "Bi An is still very reliable in this regard, and without a word of nonsense, he directly explained the route to me. Under Bi'an's instructions, I finally hurried to the willow forest.
As soon as I walked into the willow forest, I saw the figure of the woman, looking at her appearance, she had just arrived here, I stood silently a foot away from her, looking at her coldly, the silver needle in the palm of my hand was already ready to go, this time I would not let her go easily.
After she stood still, she glanced around vigilantly, and saw me standing behind her unexpectedly, she had a ghost expression, took a few steps back, and then prepared to start running away, but I didn't give her a chance to escape at all, the silver needle in my hand pierced her body as fast as possible, I watched her lower her head, and looked at the silver needle inserted into her chest in disbelief.
This is a sharp weapon dedicated to restraining monsters, and it is very lethal to monsters, sure enough, the place where she was pierced by the silver needle emitted a burst of black mist, as the black mist dissipated, she wailed in pain, her footsteps swayed, and then reached out and desperately pulled it there, as if trying to pull out the silver needle, I hurriedly walked towards her, I didn't want to have a trace of delay, I was going to move towards her.
But just as I walked up to her, she suddenly said in a weak voice, "Wait! β
I didn't pay any attention to her, and the second silver needle was ready to fire between her fingers, and she suddenly looked up, looked at me with a crazy face, and said viciously, "Don't you want that candlestick?" "I was surprised in my heart, I don't know what she meant by this, I chased her, in addition to trying to subdue demons and eliminate demons to the people of the clan, I just wanted to get the candlestick from her hand, through this candlestick, maybe I can find Chongyong, this is my selfishness.
I frowned, listening to what she meant, what was she going to do with the candlestick, I looked at her cautiously, and glared, "What do you want to do?" β
Instead of answering me, she said to me, "You promise not to do it." I frowned, "You're threatening me." She said lightly: "I'm not threatening you, I'm just negotiating terms with you, of course, if you don't want to, then forget it." "I think of that candlestick, and if I miss it, I probably won't be able to find anything that connects with Tanega. My eyes darkened, and I finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you." What conditions do you have. β
She opened her mouth and said, "If you let me go, I will give you the candlestick." I hesitated for a moment, then said, "I haven't seen the candlestick yet, how can I believe your words, in case you just lied to me?" β
As soon as I finished speaking, she reached out and took out a candlestick from her arms, as soon as I saw this candlestick, I decided that this was the candlestick I was looking for, I couldn't help but reach out to the candlestick to touch, but it was empty, she quickly withdrew her hand, held the candlestick tightly in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said to me: "You have seen it, as long as you let me go, I will give you what you want." But if you don't agree, I'll ruin it, and I'm doing what I say. I was silent for a moment, thinking to myself that if she didn't keep her promise and ran away, I could ask Bi An to help me find her, but if she did destroy the candlestick when the dog jumped over the wall, then my efforts would be in vain.
So I nodded and agreed, "Okay." Give me the menorah, and you will leave quickly. β
After saying that, I stretched out my hand to her, and she also took the candlestick and handed it to me, but the moment I was about to touch her candlestick, she withdrew her hand violently, I knew that she would cheat, but I did not expect her to be so blatant, in a hurry, raised her palm and waved at her, but she did not dodge at all, and made a move to destroy the candlestick. In my frustration, I pulled out all my palms and plunged the silver needle into her chest.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and died like this.
I looked at her dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when I turned around, I saw the people of the tribe who had come to me, all looking at me with a look of indifference.
