Chapter 33: Goodbye in the Dark
It was pitch black all around, and if it weren't for the fact that my feet were really hard, I really doubted that I would have fallen indefinitely.
It was very peculiar, I was sucked into the stomach of the devouring beast, I didn't fall and get hurt, but fell to the ground naturally, but it was different from what I imagined, I didn't meet Li Qian and the policeman who was swallowed, and I didn't see anyone else.
In the belly of the devouring beast, isn't it a space of its own?
It was dark, I took out my phone to illuminate it, but I couldn't see a meter away, I couldn't find the edge when I searched around, it seemed that only my feet were real.
"Li Qianβ" I opened my mouth to call, and my voice seemed to be absorbed, and there was no response.
I'm starting to feel scared, I'm not going to die like that, am I?
Li Qian's heart began to beat violently, and I could clearly feel the rhythm in my chest. His spells are still there, and he must be there, but for some reason, we can't meet.
After staying here for a long time, I began to calm down, I should have some kind of connection with Li Qian, I have to experience it with my heart, and I must not mess up my position first.
At this time, I suddenly remembered my grandmother.
At that time, I was young, and my parents were not around, so my grandmother raised me alone and told me a lot of things.
I remember at that time, when I was five years old, I had a dream at night, and I dreamed that it was pitch black and there was nothing, and I was so scared that I ran around and finally fell off the kang.
I cried in pain and told her about the dream. My grandmother hugged me in her arms and told me that the darkness is not terrible, sometimes you feel that you are alone, but in fact, the people who care about you are around, but we are blinded by the darkness and cannot see.
I was ignorant at the time, and although I didn't understand it, I kept it in my heart.
Now at this time, it is exactly the same dream as mine.
We are all swallowed by devouring beasts, and it is impossible not to meet each other. And with Li Qian's wisdom, it is impossible not to guess that he was swallowed in, and I was spared. He must be thinking about a way to crack it now, so I can't run around and run around.
Thinking of this, I quieted down and sat quietly cross-legged, closing my eyes and trying not to think about those terrible things.
Gradually, I entered a state of mystery.
My eyes were no longer dark, but gradually brightened. There was no longer silence around me, and I seemed to hear Li Qian calling.
"My fat is really here." He started teasing my name again.
I looked up and saw him standing there like a fairy, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and his temperament was out of the dust.
"Li Qian, you're fine, great!" I got up from the ground and walked over to him.
He didn't move, just stared at me fixedly, and the brilliance in his pupils was dim in the backlight.
I walked closer to him, and for a moment, a trace of hesitation rose in my heart.
Don't go near him!
It was the voice in my heart, and for a moment, I stopped suddenly, and the voice sounded again, and it had become my grandmother's voice.
"Half a month, child, don't go near him!"
I looked back and saw my grandmother standing behind me, still dressed for my birthday, with her chest intact and not losing her heart.
"Grandma?!" Isn't she dead, why is she here?!
"My good boy, come to Grandma." She opened her arms, the folds on her face piled up into love, she was really the grandmother who raised me since I was a child!
"Yue'er!" Just as I was about to go back, Li Qian stopped me again, "Don't you think it's too strange for your grandmother to appear here?" β
I was in shape, and my mind began to spin.
Yes, my grandmother was killed a few days ago, and although we went to the morgue to look for it, we didn't see her old man's body. Now, I saw her in the belly of the Devouring Beast, could it be that her soul was eaten by the Devouring Beast?
No, I remember Li Qian said that the Devouring Beast originally devoured the excess power of this world, how could it eat grandma's soul for no reason?
"Moon and a half, are you suspicious of grandma?" A trace of sadness crossed the face of the old man across from me, like a thorn that pierced me deeply, "Is it because grandma died a strange death, and you suspect that it is someone else who is standing here talking to you?" β
"No, grandma, I'm ......," I quickly explained, but the old man interrupted me.
"Half a month, you have not breathed or heartbeat since you were born. Your parents abandoned you, and it was your grandmother who found you alive, picked you up, and convinced them to keep you and raise you. β
When she started talking about the past, my nose was sore, and I was about to cry.
That's right, when my mother gave birth to me, she was in the countryside of my hometown, and my grandmother was in charge of delivering the baby. It's just that I was born with a "different" appearance, which made my mother think that I was stillborn. It wasn't until I convulsed and coughed up a mouthful of amniotic fluid from my mouth that my grandmother decided I was alive.
But I never breathed or had a heartbeat, my parents were frightened, and the village was superstitious, saying that I was an ominous being. They even wanted to throw me into the river and never see me again.
It was my grandmother who tried her best to protect me, and hid it from everyone, so that I could grow up safely and smoothly. Since I was a child, I didn't dare to have a physical examination, and my body was weak, and my grandmother spent a lot of effort to let me live like a normal person.
She is not only my relative, but also my benefactor, how can I doubt her?!
"Grandma!" My voice trembled, and I stepped back to her.
"Yue'er!" Li Qian stopped me again, "If no one really knows about your affairs, will your grandmother die?" Will the people in the village die? β
I frowned slightly, stopped, and turned my face to look at him: "Li Qian, do you want to say that this person standing in front of me is not my grandmother, but someone else?" β
Li Qian didn't speak, just looked at me, but I saw that the arm in the sleeve of his robe trembled slightly.
"Yueban, who is he?" Grandma spoke, her eyes full of unkindness.
"He's Li Qian, it's me ......" I stopped in the middle of the sentence, how can I introduce him to my grandmother? Do you say he's my husband?
"If you are really Yue'er's grandmother, who am I, will you not know?" The corners of Li Qian's mouth pulled a disdainful smile, "I have accompanied Yue'er from childhood to adulthood for eighteen years, if you are really her grandmother, will you not know me?" β
Li Qian's words suddenly woke me up. Oh, yes! The blood jade that Li Qian sent was given to me by my grandmother, she should know what is in this jade, if this person is really my grandmother, how could she not know Li Qian?
I stepped back slightly, looking at her with some uncertainty in her eyes.
"Humph! If you really are him, I will recognize the old lady. Grandma also sneered, her wrinkled face was alert, "I'm afraid, you're not him at all!" β
I turned around again, Li Qian's expression flashed a touch of panic, and disappeared in an instant: "Demon, so far, do you still want to confuse the public?" β
"Whether my old lady is a gossip to confuse the public, just try it and you'll know!" After grandma finished speaking, she actually flew towards Li Qian, and her movements were so fast that I didn't believe it.
And Li Qian was not to be outdone, and slapped her down.
The two of them were just staggered in space, and I was at a loss.
Who's telling the truth?
Grandma and Li Qian are the most important people to me, watching the two of them kill each other, I really can't bear it!
But, as they say, if one of them is a fake, then it must be the body of me, a walking lady, and I can't trust them easily!
But how can I tell if what they say is true or false?
As I was thinking, the two of them were already fighting.
I never knew that my grandmother, who has always been gentle, had such good skills and could compete with Li Qian, a thousand-year-old ghost. And Li Qian has always been defensive, and seems to be suppressed by his grandmother everywhere, why is this?
"Half a month, what the eyes see is not necessarily true. Sometimes, you will be deceived and need to be experienced with your heart. β
Grandma's words echoed again, and I stood there watching the two men in the fight slowly calm down.
Isn't what you see real?
If that's the case, maybe the two of them are like now......
I closed my eyes again, cutting everything off from my brain, the sound of the fight was gone, and the appearance of my grandmother and Li Qian was gone, I emptied my mind and just wanted to find the truth by feeling.
If it's a grandmother, she loves me and loves me; If it was Li Qian, he would protect me and cherish me, and neither of these two people would harm me! But nowβ
I closed my eyes, but the image appeared in my mind, and the two of them were working together to grab me, as if they had already discussed it!
I opened my eyes suddenly, and as I saw them in my head, they were about to come to me.
It's ridiculous, although I have seen through these two impostors, I am powerless to resist, I am still so weak and powerless!
"Li Qianβ"
With a desperate cry, a golden light surged in front of me, and a huge shield of light appeared, blocking them from the periphery.
"Yue'er, the husband is here." A gentle voice resounded in my ears, and then I was grabbed by a big hand in my arms.
"It's really gratifying that you can see through the illusion and keep the false and the true." Li Qianjiang's purple pupils looked at me, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, which was extraordinarily warm.
"What's going on?!" I looked at him in confusion.
"It's just a small mechanism in the belly of the Devouring Beast." Li Qian said, pointing forward, grandma and Li Qian had both changed shapes, turning into two purple air masses floating there.
"Devouring beasts can devour a wide variety of things, including people's negative emotions and thoughts. If there are too many of these things, they will form parasites called 'nightmares' in their bodies, and they will become the appearance of the person that people miss, so that the other person will lose their original judgment and wait for the opportunity to eat the other person. β
Those two "nightmares" have been controlled by Li Qian, and the light shield has long turned into a golden cover, firmly trapping it, it turns out that this is the real appearance of the grandmother and Li Qian who talked to me just now?
"I haven't been able to find you, it's so dark around, it seems to be bottomless, how did you find me?" I turned my head to look at him.
"Naturally, it's because you're my wife." Li Qian smiled softly and lifted my chin gently, "My husband should accept you and will protect you, so naturally I won't break my word." β
As he spoke, he pressed his lips to mine.
I closed my eyes and let him kiss me, but suddenly my heart went cold.
Li Qian's arm pierced deep into my body and grabbed my beating heart!
