Life is unsatisfactory in the world (Part I)
①
He once said that she had the purest smile in the world, and her smile enchanted him. If he could, he would freeze that smile and let himself be enchanted forever.
He said that she is the saddest woman in the world, even if she has a charming appearance and a seductive smile, she can't hide the sadness and emptiness in her heart.
The huge fire lotus was slowly turning, as if pulling the distortion of space. The moment I saw your eyes that became indifferent, everything lost its original color. The fire lotus turned into a gray vortex, and the blazing wind became icy cold, like a blade, cutting through the previous fetters. Reach out and feel you, but only your breath is left to become cold.
The fetters of Shino's resentment continued to shatter, and the betrayal kept reappearing in his mind, and this time, it invaded his dreams.
He walked on the Proud Bridge, looking at everything that was stagnant, looking at Feng Qi, looking at Jun Yan. He looked at everything in his dream lightly, he stretched out his hand to brush Fengqi's face, his heart was full of sourness, so he squeezed his fist, and the person dissipated like a cloud.
"All of this is your fault!" Xiao Shi pinched Jun Yan to pieces, "In this life, you will kill the king of the world!"
Shinoshi woke up in a sharp pain, and two glazed men struck him hard. Shinoshi struggled to raise his hand to block the oncoming attack. But there was a sour feeling all over his body, and it was difficult to make even a simple action.
"That's enough, don't fight anymore. A cold female voice came, and the two glazed men obediently stopped.
Shino lay on the ground panting hard, and until now his eyes were still hazy, all he could see was that his skin was burned, and the fatigue of his body and the despair of his mind made him want to close his eyes and go on like this.
This is an undersea palace, richly decorated but full of demonic atmosphere. If mortals in the mortal world see it, they will inevitably think of two words - demons.
In the mortal world, there are also demons that coexist with humans, but they generally live in the demon world opened up by the king of the first generation of demons, and the demons who have lived in the mortal world all year round gradually lose the true power of the demons and begin to become weak, they are demons.
The owner of the palace sat on a dark throne, and she was a seductive and coquettish woman. Most of her fair and pink skin is exposed to the air, and she is wearing a black silk tights dress, outlining her mature and plump figure, showing her charm.
She sat on the highest place, leaning on her right arm, and looked with interest at Shinoshi lying on the ground. She was intrigued by the man who was burned by the flames, not because of his appearance, but because of his breath. There was a familiar aura in him that she would never forget.
Her name is Qingran, and she was also a king tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, she fell in love with a human man, fell in love only to be ruthlessly betrayed. She was extremely angry and desperate, and later she attracted a Demon Ancestor, and she realized that she was originally a demon. She made a deal with the Demon Ancestor to gain life and appearance at the cost of her soul, so she lived in a sea of despair by the Cliff of Tears all year round.
"Who are you?" said Qingran's soft voice.
Shino didn't say a word, he just looked at the water waves. He didn't pay any attention to the people around him, he was thinking, thinking about his illusory life. He felt that he was probably the only one in the world who had such an experience, and that he was really a sad person.
Qingran frowned slightly, and a trace of annoyance arose spontaneously from her heart. She hadn't felt this way in 10,000 years, and she was surprised for a moment and was very interested. A seductive smile appeared on her cold cheeks, and the staring men around her were stunned, and they reveled in Qingran's smile.
"Bring him to me. Qingran leaned on the dark throne, her posture was graceful and charming.
Two blank men obediently dragged Shino up on the ground.
A string of crystal tears fell like a loose pearl bracelet, and Shinoshio's reddened eyes looked at his feet lightly, and then closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and the tears were about to move in them, and he didn't resist again.
Shinoshi was led up and knelt in front of the dark throne.
Qingran walked up to Shinoshi, and she stretched out a slender snow-white finger and gently swiped it across Shinoshi's chest. Shinoshi's skin was burned by the flames, and he was already numb and unconscious. Qing Randai's eyebrows frowned slightly, her long, narrow eyes full of surprise, and then she abruptly plunged her fingertips into Shinoshi's chest.
Shinoshi's body trembled violently, and he suddenly opened his eyes, glaring at Qingran with a dead glare. At that moment, the black in his pupils spread like ink in the water, and then quickly recovered, and there was a little hidden crimson in that black, all of which was visible to Qingran.
Qingra came to her senses after a moment's distraction, and she asked the two men to let go of Shino.
"Where is Jun Yan?" asked Qingran as she squatted down and put her red lips to Xiao Shi's ear.
"Jun Yan ......" After hearing these two words, the muscles in his whole body tensed, and his face burned by the flames burst into muscles.
"Enemy. Seeing Xiao Shi's performance, Qingran roughly guessed his relationship with Jun Yan. From this point of view, the wound on Shino's body must be Jun Yan's masterpiece. Her perception was indeed correct, this was indeed the breath of Jun Yan's spiritual power.
"I'm going to kill him!" Shino whispered, each word unusually cold.
"Why do you want to kill him?" said Qingran, who walked behind Shinoshi and looked at him. He found that almost all of Shinoshino's body had been burned by the flames, and not a single piece of skin was intact. But this made her very puzzled, Jun Yan's power was very powerful, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could bear, let alone mortals. If she wasn't mistaken, Shino was just a mortal who couldn't even cultivate spiritual power. How did a mortal who didn't even know spiritual power get involved with Jun Yan and make it like this?
Shinoshi lowered his head, very gloomy, and then his body began to rise and fall. He smiled weirdly: "It's my business to kill him or not, why do I have to tell you the reason?"
"You know, there is not a man in this sea of despair who does not listen to me. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I have a way of knowing. It's just that that will only add to your pain. Qingran smiled charmingly, "How much pain can you endure as a mortal?"
Mortal, it's called this again, Xiao is very relieved, and Jun Yan said the same thing about him that day. But what's the difference between a mortal and a king? Although he was a mortal, he thought that he was not weaker than the king, otherwise how could he kill Meng Ruyan? Qingran said how much pain he could endure as a mortal, he just sneered in his heart, and how many kings could endure his pain?
Since childhood, his family has been ruined and he has lost everything. As a child, he lived in solitude over the mountains that worried most of the strong, and fell asleep in fear for countless nights. Until he thought that everything was going to be normal, Feng Qi betrayed him ruthlessly. All this strengthened his determination for revenge, and he vowed to kill the king of the world.
"I really haven't heard of it. Shinoshi smiled weirdly.
Qing Ran smiled, Shino was the first man to talk to her like this in tens of thousands of years. She thinks that her looks can charm all men, and this has been a constant fact for thousands of years. But Shinoshi was an exception, and she couldn't accept it. She reached out and grabbed Shinoshi's head, intending to use the art of stealing thoughts to understand the cause and effect of the matter. She loves control and the feeling of being in control. But the next moment, she panicked, because she couldn't read everything in Shino's brain, and her technique failed for the first time!
Qingran immediately let go, tried again, but it still didn't work. Qingran tried many times before and after, but the result was the same, and her technique did not work at all for Shino.
Qingran was very surprised, but she couldn't see a clue, and the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger. How could this mortal have so many unexpected places, she couldn't figure it out.
Shinoshi frowned in pain, his mind blanking several times, blurring his mind.
"You're such a strange person. Qingran finally gave up, and then she looked into Shinoshi's eyes and suddenly thought of something.
Qingran's red lips are slightly opened, and a smile blooms, which is particularly attractive. "I see. ”
②
Know yourself. Everyone hears it, but how many can do it?
It is not difficult to recognize external objects, with just enough time and energy, everything will become clear. The road to recognizing oneself is long and the process is tortuous. Almost all of them have spent their entire lives failing to recognize themselves, and some of them are themselves mutilated, so they can never see themselves clearly.
"You are an incomplete person. ”
That day, Qingran smiled and dropped such a sentence, and the smile of Xiao Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, froze because of this.
Incomplete? He didn't understand what Qingran meant, she was referring to his incomplete life experience, or his physical incompleteness, or something else. But I don't know why, when he heard this, his heart suddenly became so empty and lonely, as if he had lost something.
"Incomplete. Because I'm an incomplete person, can't Qingra see through me?" Shino pondered as he sat in the cell. Because he is an incomplete person, he can never see himself, much less others.
Shino remembered that night in the Moonlit Glade, where Feng Chu had asked him about it. At that time, Shinoshi confidently said that he saw the world clearly, while Kazeki said that he couldn't even see himself clearly. Shinoshi suddenly felt that maybe Feng Ji was right.
Now Shinoshi is like a trapped beast, he is trapped in this cage by Qingran. He thought that if he stayed in this place until he died of old age, then he would never be able to take revenge, and he could not accept this kind of ending.
"Qingran!" Shinoshiro shouted as he walked to the iron door and looked outside.
The two staring men guarding the prison raised their iron halberds and stabbed Shino in the abdomen with their handles. Shinoshi's body was already weak, and he was hit hard in such a sudden situation, and he immediately fell to his knees.
It didn't take long for Shino to see a shadow coming from outside the iron gate. Snow white and black intersect, the snow white is like a crystal peach, with an elegant red, extremely charming.
Shino looked up at Qingran, then smiled. "Don't you want to know about Jun Yan, I can tell you. ”
A seductive smile tugged at the corners of Qingran's mouth, and the men with blank eyes looked at the goddess-like figure obsessively.
"Let him out. Qingran said softly, and then stepped on the lotus step to his palace.
The men opened the door of the prison and pressed Shino in front of Qingran.
Qingran slowly drank the glass of bright red blood-like wine, her red lips pursed slightly, she smiled lightly, and looked at Xiao Shi intently. Shinoshi's face burned by the flames was facing Qingran, and those resolute and bright eyes were staring at Qingran.
The two of them each told their own stories, and Shinoshi's purpose was just to satisfy Haruma so that he could leave the Sea of Despair. But this is not the case, and the atmosphere at the moment is particularly eerie.
Shinoshi finally didn't hold back, and he let out a long breath. Qingran's face is charming, and the pair of narrow and beautiful eyes are even more charming, and it is difficult for Xiao Shi to look at each other for a long time.
Seeing this, Qingran was no longer embarrassed. Before, she thought that she couldn't attract men, but at this moment, a stone hanging in her heart could be regarded as falling. She didn't expect that she would tell Shinoshi about her past experience, so she became more interested in Shinoshi, and she was even more reluctant to let Shino leave.
"Qingran, you said that as long as I told you about Jun Yan, you would let me go. "But what do you mean? I've heard your story, what else do you want?"
Qingran smiled slightly, "I don't want to do anything, but I'm afraid you can't leave this sea of despair." ”
Shino immediately stood up, and he looked at Qingran coldly. "What if I insist on leaving. ”
Qingran couldn't help but sneer at the serious Shinoshi, the face burned by the flames had a pair of bright big eyes, which looked very interesting. "You can try. ”
"It's all my people in this sea of despair, and if you want to get out by force, then I can only use that method to keep you. Qingran smiled.
Shinoshi didn't know what the method was in Qingran's mouth, but he had roughly guessed it. There are many men around Qingran, and those men have one thing in common: they are godless and obedient. No matter what Qingra asks them to do, they will do it without the slightest hesitation. They're like the walking dead who have lost their souls, or rather, they just are.
Xiao Shi suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "I understand, you want to find someone to chat with you." ”
Xiao Shi saw that Qingran only frowned slightly, and still drank the glass of bright red wine in his hand calmly. He continued, "Those people must have fallen for your spiritual magic and become your puppets. Speaking of which, you're really pathetic. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not going to make me like them, because there's no point in doing that. Shino sat down on the sidelines, staring intently at Qingran to see how she would react.
"What a self-righteous child. Qingran chuckled, then put down the wine glass in her hand.
"It's not any ordinary control spirit, the reason is simple, I gave their souls to demons. Qingran glanced at Shino lightly, "Don't take yourself too seriously, once I lose interest in you, you will be like them." ”
"So what do you want to leave me behind?" said Shinoshi, who realized that he had no capital to talk to Qingran at all. In this sea of despair, he couldn't use that dark power at all, he could only be at the mercy of Qingran. If Qingran doesn't go his way, he will most likely really become an empty shell without a soul, and then he will never have a chance to take revenge.
"I don't want to do anything, I just like you. Qingran walked up to Xiao Shi and whispered in a delicate voice in his ear.
Xiao Shi's whole person froze there instantly, Qingran's words were really unexpected, and he was at a loss. Qingran is indeed very beautiful, more charming and sexy than Fengqi, but he clearly knows that Qingran is an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
"What a lovely kid. Qingran smiled, "Lie to you, I just care about the smell on your body." ”
"Smell?" Shinoshi frowned in confusion.
"That's the smell of Jun Yan, I haven't seen him in a long time. "But you appeared, coming with his scent, how could I let you go so easily." ”
Xiao Shi looked at Qingran, whose cheeks were flushed, a little distracted, and then smiled: "You are the saddest woman in the world. Although you have a beautiful posture and a heart-warming smile, you are still very empty and lonely. I've never seen a woman like you who would be so pathetic as to miss the smell of someone who betrayed you. ”
Qingran remembered Jun Yan back then, and was in a trance. "Pathetic, empty, lonely?"
"He once said that I had the purest smile in the world, and he was intoxicated by my smile. Qingran's eyes were blurred, and she recalled the picture with Jun Yan, and there was a glittering light in her eyes.
"If I were you, I'd go back and kill Jun Yan" Xiao Shi said lightly, his heart burned with hatred again, and he swore to kill Jun Yan!
Tens of thousands of years ago, Qingran was an incomparably pure and lovely woman, but she fell forever because of Jun Yan's betrayal.
A few days ago, Feng Qi was Shinoshi's favorite and most trusted person, until Jun Yan appeared, everything changed.
"Kill Jun Yan?" Qingran's voice suddenly turned cold, and she instantly walked in front of Shinoshi, pushing him all the way to the wall.
"I can let you go, but you have to get Jun Yan back for me. Qingran said coldly.
Shinoshi shook his head, "I can't do it." ”
"If I had the strength, I would have killed him, and it would have been absolutely impossible to bring him back. Besides, I have no strength, but I will die at his hands. "You have such a strong force, why don't you go to him yourself?"
Qingran lowered her head and slowly let go of her hand. It's not that she doesn't want to go to Jun Yan, but she can't leave the Sea of Despair at all. One of the costs of her gaining power is to be imprisoned forever in the Sea of Despair.
"Before I fell into the sea of despair, I heard your scream. Xiao Shi said, "Why do you want to let yourself be hurt and torture yourself? Jun Yan, he is not worth it. ”
"Believe it or not, Jun Yan has long forgotten your name. Shino looked at the depressed Qingran lightly.
Qingran Muran, in fact, she knew very well that Jun Yan had most likely forgotten her existence a long time ago. For tens of thousands of years, it was only her unilateral memory of Jun Yan, thus torturing herself.
Qingran felt an unprecedented tiredness and loss, as if it had accumulated little by little over tens of thousands of years, and suddenly erupted at this moment, which made her extremely uncomfortable. She felt that it was time to finish
"I didn't expect to be woken up by an incomplete person like you. Qingran shook her head and sighed.
Xiao Shi was slightly stunned, and then laughed. "It's not that I can do it, anyone can. It's just that you took their souls before they could speak. ”
Xiao Shi didn't ask what Qing Ran meant by being incomplete, he thought it was better to seek the truth by himself, so that he would see himself and the world more clearly.
③
Shinoshi stood in the sea of despair, the wind gently blowing across his cheeks and blowing his hair tous.
From this day on, there will be no more despair in the sea, no more weeping cliffs, and no more sorrows will be heard here.
Qingran let Shino go, she only hoped that Shino would kill Jun Yan. They made a pact that Shinoshi promised to kill Jun Yan. Qingran remembered the pure and kind self she used to be, and she blamed herself for what she had done over the years. So Qingran decided to bury herself in the sea of despair and never step into reincarnation.
The sea of despair was turbulent, and a huge spiritual power was surging in the waves. Shino watched quietly from the Cliff of Tears as she cast her spells, and it wouldn't be long before she would seal herself in the sea of despair. Shino had advised her not to, but Haruma insisted.
"I'll keep my promise!" Shinoshiro shouted into the depths of the Sea of Despair.
The waves were raging, the wind was fierce, and their loud noises seemed to fill the whole world, and Shino didn't know if he could hear what he said.
Shinoshi touched his cheek, which had been burned by the flames, and couldn't help but tremble his hands. In the future, when he returns to the mainland, he will have to face others with this attitude, and he really can't accept it.
Knowing that the skin burned by the King's Power flame could not be restored, Qingran had already prepared some things that Shinoshi might need.
Shino put on the black robe that Qingran had prepared for him, and then put on a mask. His fingers gently touched the mask, and a wave of warmth welled up in Shino's heart. "Thank you. ”
"Goodbye, Qingran. Instead of saying goodbye, Shinoshi said goodbye in the tone of a friend. He didn't know why, at least he didn't want Qingra to live forever and not be able to step into reincarnation. Maybe one day, he will be so powerful that after killing all the kings, he will have the ability to let Qingran break from the seal. It took Shino a day to reach a small neighboring country. The flames of war have not yet spread here, and the claws of kings have not yet come closer.
Shino found a small inn to live in, his burly body hidden by black robes and the momentum emanating from his body made people afraid to approach. Especially the eyes under the silver-gray mask are cold.
Xiao Shi never said a word from beginning to end, and the shopkeeper led Xiao Shi to a room with trepidation.
Shinoshi closed the door and stood at the table, frowning at the thought of it. Although I haven't seen the country devastated by war all the way, the atmosphere in this country is extremely strange.
He walked to the window, pushed it open, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his face. The street was becoming less crowded and quieter, and the noise was becoming quieter. The sun sets, and it looks like an ordinary town.
Shinoshi still felt uncomfortable, but he still didn't understand what the problem was. He sat down at the table, picked up his teacup and pondered.
Soon it was completely dark, and Shinoshi lit the oil lamp. When the night chill hit, he got up and went to close the window.
The waning moon hangs in the sky, exuding a faint clear light. At this time, he found that the whole town was dark, and only his room was lit. It's just dark, is the whole town resting?
Confused, Shino suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell to the ground weakly.
The door was gently pushed open, and the shopkeeper walked in proudly, glancing at Shino lightly.
"It's really rare to have such a rich 'shadow'. A sneer curled into the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, and he raised his left hand, then turned his palm towards Shino. There is a mysterious black pattern in the palm of the shop's hand, and the light flashes faintly. "Come on, let me absorb it, and see how far my 'shadow' can evolve this time!"
Shinoshi saw the mysterious pattern before it plunged into complete darkness. That pattern was a sign of that power, that was left to him by someone who was very important to him.
Shinoshi knows that many people have this pattern and have this power. In the Lonely Mountains he found three people with this pattern, and then seized their power. Each time you capture a new power, the original dark power grows. That power is like a broken piece of jade, they are attracted to each other, and when they are complete, they will have supreme power.
In the past, it was Shinosha who seized the power of others, but today it was finally his turn to be seized by others.
The town was called Luoying.
Snow-white, almost light blue long hair with a slight swing. The light blue spiritual power in her palm flickered, and then she put away this power and walked into Luo Ying.
The moment I entered Luoying, the endless noise began in my ears. She stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by pedestrians, but no one looked at her.
Prosperity, but also noisy. The sound in her ears filled the world, and it reminded him of a day more than ten years ago. She stood on that densely populated street, looking at the boy in the middle of the crowd from afar. At this moment, she seemed to feel how the boy was feeling. It's a gray, lightless world, and the people around you are gray, without a trace of color.
"The world of indifference. The corners of Feng Qi's mouth curled into a sneer, and then he slowly put his hand on the silver sword at his waist.
Boom!
There was a bell ringing from the Luoying Center, and the echo was like a ripple, spreading around the town one after another. Immediately after, the cacophony in Luo Ying began to recede, like a weak wave.
Feng Qi let go of the sword in her hand, and she looked at the place where the bell rang. It was a huge bell tower, standing in the center of Luoying, which was extremely inconsistent with the surrounding architectural features.
A man passed by her, but no one looked at her. Feng Qi knew that she could slash those people into smoke with a single sword, but that didn't work, because the smoke and dust wouldn't go away. Looking at the dwindling crowd, Feng Qi quickly crossed over to the houses on the side of the street, and then hid himself through the obstacles.
Feng Qi was on that rooftop, secretly looking at the man at the inn opposite. The man was wrapped in a pitch-black robe, and he wore a silver mask that was chilling. She watched him leaning against the window in a daze, clutching her chest in discomfort.
"Shino. She softly spat out two names that she hadn't pronounced in a long time, and leaned limply against the roof.
Night, quietly falling. Kazeki was still looking at Shinosa's room as Shinoshi walked to the window. She looked at Shino, and she knew that Shino couldn't see her in the night, because except for the light in his room, the whole Luoying was dark.
She saw Shino in front of the window stunned for a moment, and then knew that the latter had discovered Luo Ying's secret. She placed her hand on the silver sword, and murderous intent swelled.
After Shinoshi fell to the ground, the room darkened. Wind prayed silently as she approached the room, then quietly walked on the rooftop.
"Come on, let me absorb it, and see how far my 'shadow' can evolve this time!"
There was a flicker of light in the dark room, and in a burst of roar, Feng Qi saw a light from within the house shooting into the vast starry sky. A grayish, black, smoke-like mass drifted toward the night dome before turning into a strange figure. It stared at a spot in the room where something gray and black like smoke began to rise. The monstrous figure seemed to open its mouth and began to devour something almost identical to its nature.
Feng Qi opened his palm, and the pale blue spiritual light became particularly bright, like the stars in the night dome twinkling. She smiled slightly, "It will be soon, that day." ”
④
It is incomplete, but it can become complete. Its power is weak, but it can become strong.
He is incomplete, but he can become whole. His strength is weak, but he can become strong.
The mysterious pattern in his palm flickered gray, and a dark mist floated out and swirled around him. He was wearing a black robe, a silver-gray mask, and a pair of cold eyes with a strong killing intent.
Shino was already able to flexibly control the dark power, and as soon as his mind moved, the fog turned into what he had in mind.
"What the hell is going on?" Shinoshio was full of doubts.
That day in Luo Ying, he fell into the trap of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper had the same dark power as him. He clearly felt that Dian Xiaoer was stealing his dark power, but when he woke up, he found that Dian Xiaoer and Luo Ying had dissipated like dust. And the dark power in his body that was sealed by the mysterious girl has awakened again, and a new dark power has been fused, and he feels that the current power is far stronger than before.
The black smoke that once wanted to occupy Shinoshi's body also disappeared, as if the world had evaporated. Shinoshi tried to find the power of the mysterious girl who remained in his body, and although he finally found it, the girl was still asleep.
This inexplicable and wonderful change is generally beneficial to him, his strength has increased greatly, and he does not have to worry about the potential danger of black smoke. This time, he truly has the power of revenge!
"Brother Lian. Xiao Shi sighed lightly, and now his strength has long exceeded the strength of Ming Lian at that time.
He knew that there was not only one possessor of the dark powers, he had known that for a long time. Everyone who possesses the power of darkness can take the bearers of other powers of darkness and can merge the powers.
In the past, he could sense the bearers of those dark powers in the Lonely Mountains because they were close to each other, and those who were farther away couldn't. However, now he can sense even the bearer who is thousands of miles away.
Shino knew that it was all luck to be able to kill Meng Ruyan in the first place, and even with his current strength, he still couldn't really fight Meng Ruyan. So he decided to find the remaining power of darkness, and after obtaining all the power of darkness, he would definitely have the power to kill the king.
"Qingran, I will definitely abide by the agreement. When I have collected all the powers of darkness, that is when the flame of the king is killed. ”
Shino clenched his fists, and the pitch-black smoke lingered before enveloping him. He moved like a tornado and disappeared into the night.
The quicksand realm is the border between the Southern Fiber Kingdom and the Nguyen Ngoc Kingdom, where there are all kinds of people of all kinds, and it is particularly chaotic. However, the quicksand realm is a small chaos and a large order, where there are three powerful forces that restrain each other, so a relatively stable pattern has been formed.
These days, the quicksand world has fallen into a dead silence, and the entire quicksand world has been depressed a lot, and there is no usual chaos. Because a ruthless character known as "Shadow of the Mask" was born, he tortured and killed the leader of one of the three major forces in the quicksand realm, "Shadow of the Claws". Since then, the pattern of the quicksand world has been destroyed. The strange thing is that the other two factions have not made any moves, and they have already occupied the territory of the "Shadow of the Claws" in the past. This strange situation has caused most of the quicksand world to speculate, mostly about the other two leaders being afraid of this new "shadow of the mask".
"So powerful. The chubby middle-aged man was lying on the chair with his eyes slightly closed. He took a deep breath, as if enjoying the food, but there was nothing in front of him. "It must be delicious!"
His name is Chaoyin, and he is the leader of one of the three major forces in the quicksand realm, and is known as the "Shadow of Food".
The "Shadow of the Mask" soared into the air to his surprise, and at the same time there was a hint of panic, but more than that, there was longing and excitement. From the moment the "Shadow of the Mask" entered the quicksand realm, Chaoyin planned to seize the "Shadow" of the "Shadow of the Mask". The more powerful something is, the more delicious it is, and in his opinion, the "Shadow of the Mask" must be very delicious.
The death of Shadow of the Claws calmed his fanatical heart a little, and he had always been calm. In the face of something that he is not sure enough, he will not act rashly. The desire to devour the Shadow of the Mask was not as fanatical as it had been at first, but it still stuck with him.
There will be only one person left with the power of darkness one day, and there will be no way for them to coexist. Even if Chaoyin doesn't miss the "shadow of the mask", the latter will still find the former after all, because they are attracted to each other, like the pull of fate.
Chaoyin fantasized about the "shadow" that had devoured the "shadow of the mask", and the smile on his face became even stronger.
Suddenly, Chao Yin smiled, and then opened his eyes and saw the scrawny man. "He Lu, I didn't expect you to come to me in person, do you have any advice?"
He Lu is also the leader of one of the three major forces in the quicksand realm, and he is known as the "Shadow of Bones" because his "shadow" is attached to the bones around his body. His face was particularly gloomy and pale, as he was born with. He looked at the smiling Chaoyin and made a hoarse sound.
"Heh, your dognose can't guess the purpose?"
Chaoyin's face changed, but he didn't have a seizure, he just snorted coldly. He knew that He Lu had always been tricky, and he didn't bother to quarrel with the latter, because it was simply boring for himself.
"He Lu, I think you're afraid of the new 'Shadow of the Mask'. Chaoyin smiled.
"If so, I feel your fear of him in my bones. ”
Chaoyin's face sank, "Then you are thinking too much, although that guy is vicious and strong, but after all, he is only alone." If he hadn't taken the power of Talon Shadow, I might have been able to take him down alone. ”
"So, you just can't beat him. He Lu said.
"He Lu, don't talk nonsense. Chao Yin interrupted He Lu, "You and I both know that it is impossible for us to defeat him with our strength alone, and you must also dare to know how rich the 'shadow' on his body is." His 'shadow' is far superior to ours, which means that his power is far above us. If you want to hit him, you can't do it unless you join forces. ”
He Lu's low laughter spread, "Okay, I like your refreshing personality." ”
"You have come all the way to join forces with me, and if there is no way to target him, I am afraid it will be in vain. Chao Yin asked tentatively, he wanted to know what methods He Lu had.
"You don't have to worry about that, besides, it's definitely impossible for him to kill the 'Shadow of the Claws' unscathed. That's why he's hidden. So, this is the perfect time to join forces to kill him. He Lu laughed hoarsely, then slowly arched his long body and left with a cough.
"Old bones, sooner or later let me devour your 'shadow'. Looking at He Lu who was leaving, Chaoyin sneered, then closed his eyes and continued to dream leisurely.
Shinoshi suddenly rushed out of the cave and fell directly into the pond. His body was wrapped in a pitch-black substance, and the dark power solidified into countless insect-like things that crawled on him, and it was extremely itchy. He quickly stripped off all his clothes and dived underwater. When the dark matter came into contact with the water, it separated from the body and turned into black smoke that lingered on the surface of the water for a long time, and then quietly dissipated, and finally disappeared without a trace.
These days, the dark power in him is often uncontrolled and detached from his body, as if he is conscious. Shino felt that the consciousness was derived from his newly captured "Shadow of the Claws", and that this would not end unless he fused it completely.
"Damn it!" Shinogyu surfaced and pounded the water so hard that it splashed. His face burned by the flames was full of hatred, and it looked especially terrifying.
Shino stretched out his left hand, and the mysterious pattern in his palm shimmered. He could sense that his power had changed, unlike any other possessor of the power of darkness. He felt that this was not the result of fusing the forces of darkness many times, but that he had mutated on his own.
Shinoshi tried to summon the power of darkness, but darkness did not come. Shinoshi dives into the water again and does not come out again.
⑤
Pick up a sword to protect your loved one, and when you want to hug you, you find that your hands are already stained with blood and you can't hug anymore.
Pushing aside the leaves, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and hit his face. The burnt cheeks showed a look of surprise, and the green sunlight was cool and comfortable.
The shadow of the tree swayed, and Shinoshi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then crouched down. He put his hand on the dirt, and there was a warmth and comfort in his fingertips.
"Illusion. Shinoshi opened his clear, resolute eyes, he had seen many illusions, but none of them could confuse him. He sees through it quickly every time, so he doesn't panic. Now that you have seen through this illusion, as long as you are careful to guard against it, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Shinoshi was slightly interested, he hadn't met an illusionist in a long time. However, he was surprised that an illusionist would do something to someone of his appearance. He hadn't touched an illusion in a long time, but now he wanted to see what kind of illusion it was.
Everything in the illusion is transferred by the will of the illusionist, and in the illusion, the illusionist is like a god. Therefore, most people who fall into the illusion are played by illusionists, but they have no power to fight back.
Shinoshi found the illusion to be very beautiful, without a hint of suppressed fear. He walked for a long time without encountering sudden danger, and the longer he passed, the more confused he became.
Shino felt that the illusionist had no ill will towards him, but why did someone who had no ill will want to trap him in the illusion?
"Deep?" Shinoshiro walked through the forest, the gentle sunlight shining on his face. It's tranquil and especially peaceful.
What kind of fantasy is this?
It was a green meadow dotted with flowers. The wind is filled with an intoxicating aroma, and countless travelers soar freely under the blue sky, gently and elegantly.
Facing the warm wind, Shino stretched out his hand, and a dandelion stumbled into his palm, but it seemed to be desperately fleeing.
When Xiao Shi saw this scene, he was slightly stunned. Dandelion was afraid, was it because of him? His hands weren't as clean as they used to be, not on the surface, but because the blood of those he had killed had gone deep into his hands. Sometimes, Shinoshi looked at his hands, which were bloody. He was able to accept that he was able to bear all this because of hatred, but he never expected that he would not be able to touch others like this.
"Even the flowers hate me, even if she is still the same person she used to be, I'm afraid I won't be able to hug her anymore. Shinoshi flipped his palm and let the dandelion fly away and go with the wind. His heart moved slightly, and a glittering light flashed in the corners of his eyes. He shook his head, not expecting that he was still thinking about the wind prayer.
The corners of Shino's eyes closed slightly, and his soft gaze became cold. He was a little irritable and didn't want to stay in this illusion.
"Don't surprise me. Shino glanced at the blue sky, and the pitch-black substance appeared on his body, and then gathered on his chest, condensing into a pitch-black sphere. Pitch-black stars lingered around the surroundings, and Shino slammed them out, hitting the clouds.
There is no only way to get out of the illusion, if you clearly know that you are in the illusion, then you can use extremely powerful spiritual magic to impact the illusion, and then shatter the illusion. Or find the connection between fantasy and reality, and then you can easily leave.
The black sphere rushed into the sky, but it suddenly scattered like water hitting a stone wall. The black mist in the sky dispersed like ripples, and then the sky returned to tranquility and did not change again. Xiao Shi's face changed, and he looked at the sky in surprise.
The sky is extremely quiet, except for the white clouds that float gently. Everything that Shinoshi did was just an ice carving, and the sky had not changed in the slightest.
"It's eternal, you can't break it. A gentle voice came from behind Shino.
When Xiao Shi heard the prestige, a white-robed man was looking at the sky lightly, his expression was melancholy, as if he was born like this. "It's beautiful, why would you want to destroy it?"
Xiao Shi glanced at the white-robed man, thought slightly, and felt strange. This man has a kind of temperament that is out of the dust, but the whole person looks extremely illusory, maybe this man is the connection point between fantasy and reality, Xiao Shi suddenly had such an idea. Because no one has ever said that the so-called connection point is a thing, it is also possible for people.
"Who are you?" Shinoshi asked first, the mysterious pattern in his palm glowed, and the power of darkness was withdrawn.
The white-robed man's light-colored eyes like still water looked at Shino, and he smiled, "I don't like this question very much. ”
"One of the things that people don't do well is that people ask questions about things that interest them. However, the person or thing being asked may not be willing to tell us, which will only add to the annoyance. Until then, it will be more comfortable to look at the beautiful scenery and listen to the beautiful sounds. ”
Shinoshi smiled, but didn't speak. He stood beside the white-robed man, and the two of them looked at the verdant together.
The man in the white robe stretched out his arms in the wind, and the snow-white sleeves of his shirt made a hunting sound. Gentle dandelions fluttered around him, while few dandelions passed by Shinoshi.
"At the end of this field there is a clear stream, and at the other end of the stream there is a large field of beautiful dandelions. They flutter in the wind, come to the other end, and bring life and ......" The white-robed man suddenly stopped.
Shino saw that the white-robed man was trying to think about it but couldn't think of anything, and the latter's appearance made him a little distracted. Shinoshi felt that maybe he knew what it was, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, which surprised him a little.
"It's hope. Shi Shi looked at the man in the white robe, and the man in the white robe also looked at the man. The man in the white robe was surprised, because what he wanted to say was indeed hope.
"The dandelion is beautiful, and it tries to fly farther away, with life and hope. ”
"Yes, hope. The white-robed man kept repeating, not to Shino, but to himself. He pinched a dandelion, then turned to look at the other side of the forest, "There seems to be something there, I want to see it." ”
Shino looked at the white-robed man quietly and felt that he was very strange. The white-robed man said that he wanted to take a look, but he didn't take any real action. What is this man who may be the connection point between fantasy and reality, Xiao Shi can't figure it out.
"If you want to see it, then go, why think so much. Shinoshi said.
"But if I get out of here, there is a chance that something will happen that has never happened before. Perhaps the dandelions will no longer fly, and the sky will no longer be quiet. My departure will change everything. Is that good?"
"I left here just to see the unknown, will it make sense?"
"What am I here for, what should I do, go, or ......" The white-robed man blurted out countless questions, covering his head with one hand. He was extremely confused and had a headache.
Listening to the white-robed man's words, Shino got some important information. Now, he felt that nine times out of ten, this man in white robe was the connection point between fantasy and reality.
"Listen to me, think of something and put it into action, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. You don't need to think too much, it will only add to your troubles, won't it?" Xiao Shi patted the white-robed man's shoulder and said seriously.
"Troubled ......" The white-robed man looked at Shino, and then asked his name.
"Shino. "What about you?"
"I ...... I don't know, I don't know who I am. Call me the Melancholy. The white-robed man shook his head, "I don't know why I exist, I don't know what to do. I've been here for a long time, looking at this eternal sky and the dandelions that are flying all the time. ”
"I'll call you a little worried. Shino laughed, and then he pointed to the forest, "Maybe there's a better scenery there." ”
"Really?" the melancholic man looked at Shinoshi with some surprise, "I never knew who I really was, maybe it was a human, maybe it was a broken product created by heaven. I may be an incomplete person, but I think you have a point. Maybe by taking that step, I will be able to know the scenery there, and I will learn more about it. ”
Shino nodded, and the pressure in his heart dissipated. Once the connection between this illusion and reality is solved, then he will be able to get out of the illusion. It was only for a moment that he was taken aback, for it was not the first time he had heard the word "incomplete man" mentioned by the Melancholic
"Maybe we're the same. The melancholic man's tone changed, and he said lightly.
Shinoshi was startled again, and he looked at the melancholy. "What did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything. The melancholic man frowned, looking a little more melancholy. His pair of clear and sincere eyes looked at Xiao Shi, without any hypocrisy.
"Shino, I'll go to the other side of the forest and have a look. You wait for me here, I'll go see it first, and when I come back, we'll go to the other side of the stream to see the beautiful dandelions. ”
Xiao Shi looked at the back of the melancholy person who gradually faded, and was a little distracted. "Goodbye. ”
Shinoshi waited for the passage between the illusion and reality to open, for he was sure that if the melancholic person was allowed to leave the grassland and go to the other end of the stream, the illusion would be solved. However, he waited a long time and did not see the passage appear.
"I'm just like you, but I'm a little different. A faint voice came from the sky, but it sounded extremely familiar.
The turquoise sky began to look like a faded scroll, then to a gloomy and dark one, with countless thin lines falling diagonally. The quiet world was suddenly covered by the sound of ticking, and the confusion in Shino's heart deepened as he looked at the world that was becoming more and more blurred.
The thin black lines continued to fall, spreading all over the heavens, becoming denser and denser. Eventually, the whole world becomes dark like faded pottery, and the world returns to tranquility.
"It's not a fantasy. Shinoshi said, but no sound came to mind, and the darkness seemed to swallow sound, light, time, and even everything.
The continuous darkness appeared at that moment with a hidden rift, and then shattered like a mirror, and large expanses of light spilled in along the gaps. Shino stood still, distracted in the light.
