15. The Secret of the Transparent Man 2
readx;
He sighed, closed his old eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the match soaked in candle oil was extinguished, turning into a burnt ash trail, and the thin piece of fire disappeared, and the candle oil on the table gradually evaporated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, Keppel's body shrunk in a circle.
"Keppel, I'm sorry. Booth carefully put the remaining half of the candle back into the white lantern.
Keppel bowed his head in despair when he heard Bus's words, his lips trembling with sadness.
Only transparent people can see Bu Si, and Bu Si can foresee the future when he sees the light, but transparent people can only predict the future of their master, and they must be transparent people to go voluntarily and willingly bear the pain of divination.
The prophet of the Booth family has been on a mission for generations, and he cannot leave the dark "No Man's Alley" for the rest of his life, only the red liquid of transparent human blood mixed with chicken blood vine can light up the darkness of "No Man's Alley", and the milky white candle in the white lantern is the milky white gelatinous body that Ji Po smeared on the "B" shaped array. Every time they go through a divination, their blood will pass through their skin and then evaporate, in fact, it is not beads of sweat, but their blood, and every time they do the divination, the transparent person's body will shrink by a circle, so they will always grow smaller and smaller.
Every transparent person has their own unique fire core. Keppel's core was blue, the very thin blue thread in the middle of the small flame, which was as blue as his master's eyes. Buth couldn't see the transparent person, but he could tell who the visitor was by the color of the fire core.
"There are very few faithful transparent people like you now, and many transparent people have left their masters, after all, you have absolute freedom. So fewer and fewer people come to me, and now there are basically no more people, except for you, Keppel, of course, and you're the last. ”
"Am I the last?" Keppel held back his emotions, but the sadness in his heart welled up like a flood, "There are only six years left, why is this happening? Why is there only six years left?Even if I am still alive in six years, I will not come here again, I don't need to come, I have no right to come again......" Keppel wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up, his little shoulders trembled violently, these why, Keppel was not asking Buth, he was just unwilling.
"Keppel, the future is the future, what happens is what happens, there is no cause and effect, it's just an inevitability, you don't have to be too sad, just do your best, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, don't be too entangled. ”
Buss has seen a lot of such results. He used to be very lively here, brightly lit, illuminating the whole uninhabited alley, and there were visitors one after another, but now the times have changed, and it is also an inevitability, and Bu Si has never questioned it, nor has he ever felt depressed.
"Then I'll go first. Ji Po's voice was a little awkward, he turned to leave, the sedan chair was already waiting at the door, Ji Po climbed on the sedan chair, and finally couldn't help it, and cried bitterly.
The candlelight reflected on Bu Si's face became weaker and weaker, and Bu Si stared at the firelight until it was extinguished, and No Man's Alley returned to its usual darkness and coldness.
......
"You can think about it, there is something you want to do, maybe, you should get a job, earn some money, support yourself, in a human way. Xi Yao said to Xia Xiche, she was not ready to enter the door, but motioned for Xia Xiche to go in by herself, and continued, "This house is left for you to live in, I can help you pay the rent first, and in the future, you have to live on your own." ”
This is the house Xi Yao rented before, but she didn't come in herself, Xia Xiche looked at Xi Yao in confusion, and he was a little uneasy.
"Don't, I'm not saying goodbye to you. You are no longer the Xia Xiche who didn't know anything before, and I have no reason to teach you anything more, besides, we are all adults, and we are nameless and pointless, so it is really not suitable for a lonely man and a widow to live together. ”
Xi Yao said with a smile, but the smile was not bright, because Xia Xiche was looking at her with those innocent and pitiful eyes, as if without her, he would starve to death.
"Actually, it's no different from before, we just don't live together, understand?"
Xi Yao was not expecting Xia Xiche to agree, nor was she asking him if he had any opinions, but she was informing him. Xia Xiche is not stupid, he can feel Xi Yao's firmness, she has never been a person who will be swayed by others, she only does what she thinks is right and what she wants to do.
"Good. Xia Xiche answered, closed the door, and did not hesitate.
At the moment when Xia Xiche closed the door, Xi Yao's vision was blocked by the cold door panel, and she suddenly felt a little lost, as if she had lost something. Perhaps, in Xi Yao's subconscious, she does not reject living with Xia Xiche, she just hasn't decided whether to take a brave step forward and admit that she is in love with an extraordinary person.
Since the decision is still not good, let time make a judgment, but those things that are well known, Xi Yao decided to make a decision.
After Xi Yao left, she went to Cui Zhenan's house and met Cui Zhenan, who was in a hurry, at the top of the stairs.
"Xi Yao, where have you been? I've been looking for you for days! Why don't you just say a word and leave?"
Cui Zhenan looked very tired, he had indeed been looking for Xi Yao for many days.
"Zhenan, I'm sorry. ”
Cui Zhenan took two steps forward and hugged Xi Yao tightly, he was really afraid of losing her, "No need to apologize, I didn't mean to blame you, I'm just worried, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”
"No," Xi Yao pushed Cui Zhenan away with the same force, "I don't think we should continue to be together." ”
Xi Yao said without hesitation, the starting point for her to do this was not to not drag Cui Zhenan down, but herself, she didn't want to put herself in an embarrassing and troublesome situation again. She can't be as simple and kind as Xia Xiche, she admits that she has a dark side, when she is hurt, her bad intentions will be ready to move, and she will retaliate in the name of self-defense, and the practice of repaying grievances with virtue has never been her style, sometimes she is too rational, so that she is a little cruel to reason, making people think that she is cold-blooded.
Cui Zhenan was a little at a loss, "Xi Yao, you listen to my explanation, Xiao Jie and I have broken off cleanly, I am not the same as before, I am mature, really, I will not make any more mistakes, Xi Yao, you must believe me......"
"Zhenan, I don't love you anymore. ”
It is always a cruel thing to break off a relationship, and there is always someone who wants to play the bad guy and destroy, destroy or end the relationship. Xi Yao can use Cui Zhenan's derailment to justify and excuse herself, that is, to end this relationship and establish the image of a victim, but she didn't find any reason, she just decided, without a trace of nostalgia and reluctance.
"Impossible, I don't believe it, Xi Yao, don't make trouble, come home with me, be obedient!" Cui Zhenan grabbed Xi Yao's arm, and overexerted herself because of her emotion, which made Xi Yao feel painful, but Cui Zhenan ignored her struggle at all and forcibly pulled upstairs.
