Chapter 34: "The Guardian"
Chapter 34: "The Guardian"
It's dark!
When the hair was pulled away, revealing Ouyang Tianqi's left eye, Zhang Shen only felt that where he entered his eyes, in addition to darkness, it was still darkness!
His left eye, without the white of the eye, was pure black, like a round of ink marks in the dark night without light, deep and vast, far and endless.
Zhang Shen felt that his left eye seemed to be connected to an endless abyss, and just by looking at it, he had the illusion that even his soul was going to be pulled out of his body and sucked in.
The warning from instinct made Zhang Shen hurriedly stagger his gaze and didn't dare to stare anymore.
The corners of Ouyang Tianqi's mouth twitched, revealing a weird smile.
At first glance, it seemed to be mocking, but Zhang Shen felt a faint bitterness contained in that awkward smile.
"Alright, now that you're done showing off, isn't it time to answer my question?" Waiting for Ouyang Tianqi to send his hair back and revert back to his original cold and mouthless man, Zhang Shen showed an unhappy look.
"Dazzle...... Shine?? The next moment, Ouyang Tianqi's steel-plate-like face rippled again, full of consternation, and there was a questioning rhyme at the end of the language without any change in tone, revealing all the incomprehension and astonishment in his heart.
Zhang Shen pursed his lips, and a smile crossed his eyes: "Of course it's showing off!" If I had such a cool eye, I would look for people all over the world to show off, and see their envy, jealousy, hatred and helplessness. ”
"Hehe......" Ouyang Tianqi hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed a sincere smile for the first time, "Zhang Shen, you are really an interesting person." ”
Zhang Shen waved his hand senselessly: "Okay, since it is sure that it is the special ability of your eyes, the misunderstanding will be resolved." I'm still going to have something, and if it's okay, I'll go first. ”
Ouyang Tianqi's eyes gave him a great shock, but at this time, he didn't have the time or mood to be shocked.
"You're troubled by those resentful spirits, aren't you? Can you tell me about it? When he spoke again, Ouyang Tianqi's speed and tone returned to "normal", but if it was someone who was familiar with him, they would be surprised to find that there was a trace of indifference in his voice that he was looking at the world without moving.
"How long has it been? I can't even remember how long it's been since I took the initiative to talk to someone else......" Ouyang Tianqi's heart was melancholy, and at the same time, a new idea quietly emerged. "It's not hard to partner with someone like that."
For a moment, even Ouyang Tianqi himself was stunned by this thought. "I've been lonely for eighteen years, and I still have this kind of thought, and sure enough, my brain has been damaged by the recent impact. However, there is no harm in cooperating for the time being. He didn't realize it himself, and his mind quietly took a few steps back.
Zhang Shen looked at the poker face opposite, thinking that he wouldn't gain anything by running around like this anyway, it was a pure waste of time. So, Zhang Shen nodded, found a random place, and told him about the general thing.
Even though it's "probably", there are eight points in detail. Zhang Shen felt that this poker face would definitely not be a person who liked to chew the root of his tongue, so he didn't care about the leakage of some important information between words.
"So, you're in a hurry to find Mo Cai and them. This thing...... I can help you. Ouyang Tianqi listened to the narration of a man with very average storytelling ability, was silent for a few seconds, and spoke.
Zhang Shen's eyes immediately bulged, his face was excited, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
But—
Whew~~Whew~~
Exhaling a few deep breaths, Zhang Shenqiang calmed himself down: "Say, whatever conditions you want, except for this life, anything can be given to you!" ”
"Can you really do anything?"
"Of course! By the way, I can't go against my bottom line as a man! Zhang Shen felt that the guy in front of him suddenly became a little "weird", and solemnly stated that he could not touch his bottom line.
Ouyang Tianqi pondered for a moment, and suddenly tilted his head slightly: "What about chastity?" ”
Poof-cough-cough-cough! Ahem, ahem!
Although Zhang Shen didn't vomit blood at the beginning, he also choked and coughed violently.
His whole face was flushed, and he coughed while pointing at the poker face in front of him with trembling fingers, and at the same time, his body kept retreating, and even his body seemed to have broken through the limit, and he took a dozen steps back in a few blinks of an eye.
You, you, you......
At this moment, Zhang Shen felt that he had encountered the biggest crisis in his life! Not one of them!
Even if you come to this world to face death several times, it is not as terrible as this time, and it is terrifying!
"I'm kidding." Suddenly, Ouyang Tianqi, who was regarded as a flood beast by someone, opened his mouth and said something like this.
You lie to the ghost! Zhang Shen was about to roar out at that time, but unfortunately his body was already the same as "collapse", and his throat couldn't make a sound at all, except for the cough that made his heart, liver and lungs hurt.
…………
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Shen finally "calmed down".
"What are you doing sitting so far away?" Ouyang Tianqi's poker face showed a puzzled look, but in fact, he was already laughing like crazy in his heart. It's been a long time since he's felt so "happy".
Zhang Shen was five meters away from him, but he thought in his heart that if he didn't hear the other party no matter how far he went, he would definitely have to retreat five meters, no, ten meters!
"No, no, no, it's a very good distance." Zhang Shen felt that his expression must be very exciting, "Please stop joking, just say whatever you want." ”
Ouyang Tianqi felt that today's "show" was enough to wash away the recent bad luck, and he stopped joking, and there was a little more solemnity in his tone: "I can indeed help you find them, but what about after you find them?" ”
After you find it? Do you need to ask? Of course it's - kill!!
Zhang Shen didn't speak, but his answers were all written on his face, and they were clear.
"Have you considered the consequences of killing someone in Beacon Town? You'll be wanted by Beacon Town, and maybe even your Kill Order will appear in Fallfall City. ”
"I can hide in the wasteland." Zhang Shen said his answer. For them, the temporary guards, as long as they stay here for a month, only four or five days before the deadline, what are they afraid of.
Who knows, Ouyang Tianqi suddenly aggravated his tone: "Do you think that as long as you survive the last few days, you can return, right?!" ”
"Huh, how are you ...... Oh, it turns out that you are also a newcomer to the trial, no wonder Zeng Hao knows you. Zhang Shen suddenly realized.
Since he is a "fellow countryman", Zhang Shen no longer hides his words: "That's right, that's what I planned." Although it will be difficult to survive in the wasteland for several days, it will be over one by one, just in time to complete the last bit of the task. ”
Ouyang Tianqi fell silent, Zhang Shen didn't see it, and a trace of disappointment and regret flashed in his right eye.
"You should be from other towns, but I haven't seen you in Luoxia City, when did you come to Beacon Town?" Zhang Shen began to look for a topic, and he was indeed a little curious about this eccentric guy.
"Hey, Ouyang, Ouyang, how many times have I warned you, don't have too much hope for others, the greater your hope, the greater your disappointment. Hasn't this kind of thing happened countless times? In Ouyang Tianqi's heart, there seemed to be two villains, one of them was teaching the other a lesson, "You will fall to this point, isn't it because of this senseless expectation?" Now, do you still want to be lucky? Give up, give up! ”
The other person was so taught by him that he had nothing to say, just stood silently, his lonely right eye showed sadness and disappointment, and his poker face gave people a feeling of "heart like ashes".
The man continued, "Die of this heart, give up this stupid idea!" There is no need for such a thing as companions! Who are you, you are the pride of the sky, the darling of the heavens, gifted, whether it is wisdom or body, you are many times better than those mortals! It's enough for you alone, it's enough for you to do everything alone, and you don't need your teammates at all! ”
The other suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter full of self-deprecation, full of anger: "The pride of the sky? Talented? I don't need this kind of thing at all! If this inexplicable eye is exchanged for eternal loneliness, I'd rather destroy it! ”
The two villains continue to argue and quarrel, and in the end, they finally "compromise" with each other and reach an "agreement".
Quarrels like this, every day, every hour, are happening in Ouyang Tianqi's heart.
"Forget it, it's true that I'm too demanding, and I'm as disappointed as ever." Ouyang Tianqi laughed at himself in his heart, "However, after all, once you know each other, tell him what I think, as for how much you can understand, it's up to him." ”
"I'll continue on my own path."
Having made up his mind, Ouyang Tianqi accentuated his tone: "Zhang Shen, what do you think about the title of 'Guardian of the Terrans'?" ”
Zhang Shen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant by his sentence without a beginning or an end.
"Well, I don't understand what you're trying to ask?" If you don't understand, you don't understand, Zhang Shen didn't have the slightest intention to hide it, and he didn't bother to make a fool of himself.
"The Terran Guardians are clearly on the side of the Terrans, or rather, biased towards the Order of Light. So," Ouyang Tianqi's pupils froze, "a person who wantonly kills the human race, do you think he is worthy of this title?!" ”
"In addition, the so-called trial, if that great will is so painstaking, just to stimulate the so-called potential, why doesn't it throw us into the incomparably dangerous world realm alone, wouldn't that be more effective?"
"Zhou Tian Wanjie, so many human races, if it is just to train a group of people to eliminate disasters everywhere and save the suffering human beings, why not choose directly from the advanced world realm, and save the time to promote growth!"
"The Great Will is so much in a circle, and the purpose is really so simple??"
"So far, do you still think that this rookie trial is just a matter of a few tasks?!"
Thundered!!!
Every word of Ouyang Tianqi was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Zhang Shen's ears, making his heart tremble, and the cold sweat that came out of his pores made his clothes almost soaked, and he could wring out water.
Zhang Shen couldn't sit still, and spun in circles.
His brain was running wildly, and countless images flew by, turning into bursts of light and shadow, filling the entire consciousness space.
One by one, thoughts drill out, sink, arise, annihilate, collapse, condense, and the consciousness space is like opening the heavens and the earth, yin and yang are divided, and the universe is reversed, showing the scene of chaos and fragmentation.
After a long time, he finally stopped, as if he had been exercising at high intensity for more than ten hours in a row, and the whole person shrank in a circle, his face was haggard, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, exuding a terrifying brilliance.
"Ouyang Tianqi, thank you!" Zhang Shen bowed to him sincerely, and Ouyang Tianqi accepted it directly, this was the gift he deserved.
"Yes, there is still hope for the lost." Ouyang Tianqi still has a "delusion" in his heart, "Maybe, he can catch up with my footsteps and fight together one day......"
After the ceremony, Zhang Shen's waist was straight, his eyes were constricted, but his eyebrows showed an incomparable perseverance and sonorousness.
"Thank you for waking me up, I finally understand my way!"
"Guarding the Terrans, it's too heavy for me to do, and I don't want to do it."
"My heart is too small to fit the entire human race, only a few people."
"I won't kill indiscriminately, but for the sake of those I want to protect, even if my hands are full of blood, I will not hesitate to do it!"
