It only takes a trance for the reunited soul to return to its shell.

But until then, there seems to be something standing between the soul and the body......

A dream from the past.

The remnants of the dream were still slowly evaporating and dissipating. And Huai Shi broke into it for the first time as an outsider.

But when Badr is gone, whose dream is this?

Huai Shi looked around in confusion.

Between the barren heaven and the earth, the gloomy sky and the dark earth, surrounded by forests, the withered knight trudged through the mud on the back of a scrawny horse.

Weary to ask questions to every living being, pleading.

But I can't see the phantom-like Huai poem.

Because he doesn't belong here.

Just a bystander.

Then he saw that there was only a little bright color in this dark and oppressive world.

It's like fire.

Between the dry rivers and mountains, there is a shocking bright red, looking around indifferently and showing an unparalleled sense of presence.

It's as if she is the center of heaven and earth, the only worthy existence in this world.

"Please...... Mourn for him......"

When the knight pleaded like this, all he got was disdainful looks.

On top of the mountain rock, the girl sitting there looked back indifferently, looking down on him so arrogantly.

The familiar face, so familiar, but I can't see the smile that Huai Shi is familiar with, and it is not gentle.

It was very different from everything he knew.

It is full of wildness and fierceness, which makes people dare not approach.

"Why?"

She asked mockingly, "Is it because he is Odin's son?"

The knight did not speak, and after a long silence, he spoke hoarsely again: "Then, please leave this land." ”

The girl on the rock laughed, as if she had heard a joke.

"Just you?"

In the dead silence, the knight slowly raised his hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

I clenched it hard.

On the back of the hand, the green tendons are exposed.

But under those cold eyes, he didn't dare to make a move.

"Don't draw your sword, Hermod, it's for your good, don't bring about your own destruction. ”

She slowly withdrew her gaze, dismissive: "Go back and tell Odin that whatever he wants, he can't get it from me." ”

Helmod's beard trembled, and he humbly prayed again: "Just...... I beg your mercy......"

"Why should I have mercy on him?"

The girl on the rock asked, "In order to save his son from the strife between the Mandates, Odin sees hell as a refuge.

But if he doesn't even want to keep the contract with the sanctuary, then his son won't be able to be freed or even go to hell...... can only wander in this world forever as a dead soul. ”

As if announcing fate, she said coldly, "This is the price of his own cleverness." ”

"Aren't you the same, Emperor!"

Helmod couldn't hide his anger and roared hoarsely: "One day, you will incur the same-"

Flames burst out from between the pitch-black heavens and the earth.

But it wasn't warm.

Instead, he dyed everything scarlet.

The old knight was suddenly ablaze, and from the inside out, his eyes, mouth and nose erupted with burning fire, interrupting his words and causing him to let out a hoarse scream.

Until the girl on the mountain rock flicked her fingers slightly, and the torture comparable to the burning sun was extinguished.

"It's just a small punishment, Helmud, as the price for calling me by my name......"

She withdrew her gaze without interest: "Get out!"

Soon, the scrawny old horse propped up the battered knight, slowly left, and disappeared at the end of Huaishi's sight.

When he was in a state of confusion, he noticed the indifferent gaze that came to him.

Aware of this outsider who does not belong here.

The girl in the red dress propped up her chin and glanced at her with disdain: "Then, mortal, which one are you?"

"Uh......"

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, being looked at by such eyes, a strange absurdity and conjecture rose in her heart, and she wanted to speak and stopped, but she couldn't speak.

But this disappointment and sluggishness are understood as rebellion.

In an instant, Huai Shi felt that her neck was lifted and hung in the air.

There was no way to resist.

Pulled up by that hand roughly, stuck around his neck, only a pair of burning eyes stared at him—the fire was so bright, but it was so cold.

She said, "If you don't speak, you should never speak......

Huai Shi struggled hard, trying to break her hand, but she couldn't shake the power on that palm at all, and even if she tried her best, she couldn't open the slightest gap.

I can only use my best strength to squeeze the sound out of my heart.

"Tong Ji...... Let go ......"

He said, "I'm ...... I'm out of breath......"

At that moment, the girl seemed stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Finally, I realized the existence of this dream.

And so everything quickly began to dissipate.

The barren earth, the gloomy sky, and even everything in front of him, but only the feeling of suffocation still remains, which makes Huai Shi subconsciously struggle, twisting his body, and trying to breathe.

Finally, I opened my eyes.

Then, I saw the figure sitting on my chest.

That's a ...... An uncompromising burden.

"Huh, are you awake?"

Tong Ji closed the book in her hand like someone who was fine, and looked down at him happily: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Huai Shi's face turned pale, and he pointed to his chest.

"I'm going to ...... Suffocated ......"

"Huh, I can't hear what you're talking about. ”

Tong Ji lowered her head in confusion, pulled up her hair, leaned over, and stared at him with bright red eyes that were the same as in her dream, so close: "Please make it clear......"

"I said ......"

Huai Shi took a deep breath with difficulty, "Stinky woman get out of the way for me!!"

After exerting all his strength, the dying patient finally lifted the creature sitting on top of him, and then lay on the ground, coughing violently.

ICU, where is the ICU?

I need to be salvage......

"Wow, what did you say to the gentle big sister!" Tong Ji squatted down, gloating at his embarrassed appearance, reaching out and poking his cheek: "This is the price, you know, Huaishi, the price." ”

Huai Shi glared at her.

This woman ...... This woman ......

From the past to the present, nothing has changed at all!

However, it is different from the past......

Huai Shi looked at her face directly, and didn't even bother to wipe the saliva she coughed up.

Staring at her cheeks.

A smile that is completely different from the one in the dream.

The person in the dream looks so lonely, but she is so arrogant, it makes people feel that she has taken the initiative to abandon this world.

Because no one can chase after her......

"What's wrong?" Tong Ji squatted beside him, holding her cheek: "Is today also a day of intoxication with my sister and my peerless beauty?"

Don't look too much, if you fall in love with me, how bad is it?"

Huai Shi rolled her eyes and ignored her.

I turned over, lay on the ground, and after a long time, I finally gasped for breath, only to realize that the pain in my body had disappeared, and my whole body had returned to a healthy state.

Almost incredible.

Even the cracks and wounds of the soul are gone.

And then...... Stigmata and essentia armaments are gone!

Huai Shi was stupid.

"Wait, what's the matter with me!" he straightened up from the ground in shock, groping around as if the stigmata and the key would be forgotten in that corner.

"What about my wounds, and what about my stigmata...... Wait, why does my chest hurt so much......"

He ripped open the collar and looked at his intact chest, dazed: "Why do I feel as if I have been stabbed?"

"Delusion, just delusion. ”

Tong Ji's eyes seemed to drift, and she waved her hand innocently: "There was a little accident, aren't I rescuing you......"

"Salvage?"

Huai Shihu wondered: "Why am I going to be rescued again?"

"It's really annoying, you guy, can you throw any pot on the big sister?" Tong Ji sighed sadly: "As soon as young people have any problems, they will shirk their responsibilities, which is really sad." ”

"You've got enough!"

Huai Shi's expression twitched: "What happened?"

"To put it simply, you're halfway through your advancement ritual...... Kirihime explained with a smile, "The first half." ”

"So you lost my stigma and essentia?"

"How can you say that, Huai Shi!" Tong Ji said solemnly, "It didn't leave you, but stayed by your side in a different way......"

Sounds reasonable, but why is the tone exactly the same as when I was cheated out of money?

However, when Huai Shi sensed it carefully, she found that it was indeed the same as what Tong Ji said...... The stigmata and various weapons of the Great Priest are still there, but they ...... Doesn't seem to be in your own body anymore?

He could feel that the miracle of the Great Priest's life still existed somewhere, and he could use this power of his own through his soul at any time.

There is no difference from the past.

But where did they go?

"This is the power of the 'Crystallization of Returning Light', Huai Shi-"

Tong Ji explained: "To put it simply, the smart and lovely big sister I had an idea, and through a ritual, I completed your advanced preparations in advance. ”

"Now, the stigma and the mandate of heaven of the Great Priest have been temporarily divided by me through the Reflection Light Crystal, making room for Yun Zhongjun's advancement. ”

"Where did it go?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"Come to think of it, there's a lot of places to go. ”

Tong Ji casually drew the blade of resentment: "Benefiting from the many connections and causes and effects you have established with the present situation, I have distributed these powers to the people who share this miracle with you—can't you feel it?"

Say what you felt.

The first thing Huai Shi felt must have been a dark eye.

What are you doing behind my back!
