At the moment of Charles's astonishment, the current had already come out of his hand under the guidance of magnetism, and there was no need to deliberately control it. They whipped like whips on the nearest piece of iron, the screws that hovered around the Shire!

With a crisp stabbing sound, the screws that had been in Charles's control like an arm suddenly broke out of control and crackled out in all directions.

Thankfully, the Charles had been out of range of the sputter for a split second, unscathed. But then cold sweat seeped out from the back of his head, and he hurriedly rolled over.

An electric bolt struck him like a whip.

"Wait! When did you learn how to pronounce so many notes instantaneously?"

"This morning. ”

The young man's voice came faintly: "It doesn't matter if you can interpret it, I'll release it quickly anyway!"

"You don't have any technical content in this hand!"

"What kind of technical content do you want, you can win it!"

Immediately after, a blazing flame swept past him, crashed into the barrier formed by the 'qi', and dissipated without a trace. The corners of Charles's mouth twitched, and his figure suddenly blurred.

Notes.

Immediately afterward, the frost ray passed by. Just as he staggered back, Ye Qingxuan pressed forward step by step, making Xia Er in danger, and his expression finally became slightly serious.

Even if it was expected, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: with such a relentless style of chasing and fighting, if he really blindly defended, he might be able to seize the opportunity to turn the tables.

He read the boy's attack, retreated in dodge, and left a series of traps of 'notes, shackles' at his feet.

Ye Qingxuan's footsteps stopped abruptly on the edge of the trap, and Xia Er snorted: It's really unpleasant to fight with this kind of guy who learns quickly. It's a pity that with my brother's many years of experience, I can crush you!

Then his face changed: "Is this the same again?"

"As long as it works!"

The boy behind the trap casually threw a cloud of blazing light, and then the mirror matrix unfolded, and the intense light covered Charles's eyes.

He subconsciously closed his eyes and read Ye Qingxuan's ether with all his attention, and then smiled: Sure enough, it was about to be unsustainable. Brother, you're still too tender......

In the midst of the onslaught. Ye Qingxuan's movements were delayed for a moment, and the ether on his body began to dissipate?

Seizing this gap, Charles did not retreat, but advanced, even if his eyes could not see anything clearly. But the note in his hand was imprinted straight on the boy's chest!

In an instant, the collision of 'qi' and 'flow' set off a surging wave of qi!

Boom!

Wait, doesn't that feel right?

He opened his eyes wide and saw Ye Qingxuan flying out upside down...... In mid-air. Ye Qingxuan's body cracked and turned into broken lenses.

It's a phantom made by a musical note, a mirror.

Just after the phantom was blown away, what was revealed was the young man who had taken down his horse and stood on the stump. He stared at Charles' stunned expression, and smiled.

"Yo!"

Hit the mark......

The corners of Charles's mouth twitched, and then, in front of him, only the shadow of a fist was constantly enlarged......

Boom!

Charles fell on his back to the sky, and it was pitch black in front of him-

When he woke up, it was already night, and there was beef stew in the pot. The smell of meat is oothping. He heard his stomach rumbling.

Hungry.

He struggled to get up from the sofa and rubbed his aching cheeks: "Wow, they are all senior brothers, do you want to be so ruthless?"

You deliberately seduced me over, and then put on a stand and moved your fists? Do you still have the dignity of a musician!"

Ye Qingxuan rolled his eyes: "I know that your induction and control power are many times that of mine, and my strategy is clear...... Why am I stupid enough to compete with you about notes? Am I mentally retarded?"

"Ability is improved by grinding!"

"This kind of grinding will be avoided. ”

Ye Qingxuan slapped a bowl of beef stew in front of him, and said with a concerned face: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it's not good if it's cold." ”

Chardon was moved for a while: "It's rare that you still care about being a brother, junior brother." ”

"No, I just don't want to waste my time. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled and held up a set of pink women's clothes: "After all, you still have a little skirt to wear after eating......

Half a day ago. It was an uneventful afternoon.

The watch shop was still ticking, quiet and quiet - of course, it was another day of little business.

However, the boss didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and was still drinking afternoon tea in a leisurely manner. Sometimes the head is raised. Say a few words to the little girl behind the counter who is immersed in reading.

Most of the content is not salty, such as whether the cart selling ice cream today is out of the stall, and the old man who deserves to make no money.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, an old man with a black glove in one hand pushed the door in and talked to him for a while, and the conversation seemed to be between pleasant and unpleasant.

Soon. And he departed.

Seeing him leave, Hermes shook his head and sighed: "Shaman, that old fellow, it seems that he is serious, I underestimated him."

Is this guy really not afraid that the royal family will be provoked and drive him out again, or is he sure that His Majesty has been cursed recently and has no time to care about him?

However, his declaration of war has forced the group of guys to jump off the wall. Now, I'm afraid, they have reached the point where they do not hesitate to borrow foreign aid. At this time, even if it is the power of the evil god, those guys who have lost red eyes will pinch their noses and pour it down, right?"

"It's noisy. ”

The girl behind the counter looked up expressionlessly: "I'm reading." ”

“...... After a few days of not seeing, you have become a musician reserve who loves to learn?

Hermes pretended to be moved and waved his hand to cheer: "You must cherish life, study hard, and don't be like your monster cousin." ”

"Huh?"

"Hehe, there are occasional gaffes, please don't care. Hermes shrugged.

"If you want to speak, just say it all. ”

Bai Xi frowned: "Either don't say it at all." ”

Hermes sighed and raised his hand in surrender: "Bai Xi, do you feel that you lack understanding of your cousin?"

"What do you mean?"

That's what it means literally. ”

Hermes shrugged: "Although they have the same white hair, the same age, and the same language, they even smile alike."

But you didn't feel at any moment. You've never known him?"

"Nope. ”

"Did you not feel it, did you not find it, or did you not think about it at all?"

Hermes raised his eyes: "You should have noticed it, closer than anyone else - that guy's abnormality." ”

Bai Xi was silent.

The watch shop is silent again-

With a faint ticking sound, Hermes stared down at the teacup in his hand.

In the afternoon sun. The delicate bone china teacup ripples with dark red tea, and the refraction reflected is like blood.

It's such a delicate and beautiful afternoon tea, but for some reason it makes people have such an eerie association. Perhaps this dark aura came from its owner, the smiling boy.

The sunlight outside the window fell on his long hair, which was like a gold thread forged. Indescribable luxury and beauty. But his eyes were pitch black, like clouds wandering in hell, lingering in the emerald pupils.

He asked, "Bai Xi, was there a moment when you felt that you understood 'death'?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you can barely describe it, it's probably an immersive experience - just like you understand what fire is and what iron is, there will come a time when you really understand what 'death' means.

The experience may have come from a funeral, a corpse. A sad story. Or from the death of a loved one, or ...... From my own personal experience.

Answer me, have you ever felt that way?"

Bai Xi nodded silently.

Hermes laughed.

"Then you will know how fragile human beings are. ”

He looked at the pedestrians outside the window, looked at the faces, and laughed, with a hint of mockery:

"Whether good or wicked, when one truly understands 'what death is.' There will be a realization that you will see your own fear and insignificance, your own loneliness and powerlessness, and you will see your true self.

It's like a beast staring at its own reflection in the water.

Only by truly experiencing it will human beings discover that the truths, norms, and bottom lines they believe in are compared with it. It's just something that doesn't even count as dust.

There is no better teacher than 'death'.

It is greater than all the stars and all the morals combined, more inescapable than food and love, and more inescapable than fate and hatred......

-- If there really is an eternal and unchanging truth for human beings in this world, then I believe it must be 'death.'

That's why the first three kings wrote it into their vows. Haven't you already seen it?"

From birth to death, only the Great Source is eternal. ”

Bai Xi muttered to himself.

"Yes, nothing can escape death, it is the destiny of mankind. ”

Hermes snapped his fingers appreciatively: "To avoid its arrival, humanity can do anything cruel at all costs."

Since ancient times, the vast majority of human sins have been committed: in the eyes of some, it is not an exaggeration to commit unspeakable bad karma in order to survive.

In order to protect your own life, even if you make a mistake that the whole world can't tolerate, it's understandable, right?"

Bai Xi didn't speak, but Hermes read the answer in her eyes.

He whispered:

"-This is the most terrifying thing about Ye Qingxuan. ”

In silence, Bai Xi was stunned:

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Do you not understand, or do you not want to understand?"

Hermes scoffed, "Haven't you already seen it?"

Your cousin has had countless encounters with death, and even after coming to Avalon, he has never lacked near-death experiences.

It can even be said that his life is spent dancing with death, and he has been closer to death than anyone else, and has gone deeper into the essence of death.

But what is frightening is that he turns a blind eye to those things.

It would be nice if he became a murderer, and it was natural if he became a cold-blooded and ruthless butcher, but ......

-- Fear and death never changed him in the slightest!

Even if countless people are holding sharp blades and want to threaten his life, they are chased by monsters one after another, and they break into the bloody road and step into hell from the human world...... He still hasn't changed.

So much pain didn't change him, and so much happiness didn't change him. He didn't float upwards or fall downwards...... What is hidden in his heart?"

Hermes's eyes were dark, as if he were staring into the abyss. (To be continued.) )
