Chapter 554: There Must Be a Reason for Abnormality
In the early morning of the third day when the black shadow was discovered, Xia Xiao was still awakened, sitting on the bed covered in cold sweat, it was not the first time he had seen such a scene in a dream. In the past two nights, he has been tortured all the time, but out of consideration for the content of the video, he has never revealed the slightest news of it, so that at this time, Demolico came and asked him if he was having a nightmare, and he also pretended to sigh easily, and said:
"Ah Candle is not there, and I can't sleep well. ”
She would have been overjoyed if she had heard. ”
Xia Xiao looked out the window, the sky was still just numb, and he could lie down for a while, but he didn't have that interest, he just whispered:
"You can't let her know, or the girl will float to the sky. ”
Demuri laughed with it, reminding:
"Take off the bracers, lest I never perceive you. ”
The bracers seemed to be integrated with Xia Xiao, but they were still buckled down and placed on the table. As long as it is not there, Di Muli can accurately perceive Xia Xiao's movements, and it does not have to be as vague as before, but also needs multiple judgments and complex repeated determinations. Seeing Xia Xiao constantly wiping his sweat, Di Muli, who wanted to leave, stopped again and asked curiously:
"What did you dream about?"
"Yesterday I dreamed that Shu Shuang beckoned to me, and today I dreamed that I had entered the demon path. ”
Xia Xiao's expression gradually froze, shook his head slightly, and said softly:
"It's terrifying. ”
"Just pay attention, don't collapse yourself before you see the image. ”
"Knowing the senior, go back and rest, it's time for Ah Candle to come. ”
"Okay, you also take a break, and stay in the town as you did yesterday. ”
"Yes!"
Dimuri disappeared for a moment, and Ah Candle, with his messy hair, pushed the door open in a wide suit. She felt that Xia Xiao had taken off her bracers, thinking that something was wrong, but seeing Xia Xiao sitting on the bed, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and her expression was no longer so cold. Running forward, Ah Candle hugged Xia Xiao and felt relieved after listening to his explanation.
However, Xia Xiao's absent-minded appearance made Ah Candle feel distressed, and she comforted:
"Don't think about it, you'll be fine, we're in the academy now!"
Xia Xiao nodded with a smile, coaxed Ah Candle to sleep for a while, and got up to wash up, ready to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
If it was usual, Ah Candle would definitely hug Xia Xiao's thigh and signal him to sleep with him. But now, Xia Xiao needs to be quiet alone. Therefore, Ah Candle, who didn't want to annoy Xia Xiao, just lay on the bed and watched him wear clothes and pants with blank eyes.
Noticing Ah Candle's gaze, Xia Xiao glanced back at her and raised his eyebrows and smiled at her. Ah Candle also smiled, but Xia Xiao waved his hand, and his face was cold when he went out. With such a speed of changing face, there is the potential to sing Sichuan opera, but Xia Xiao is not worried about anything else, but when he will hide it.
It's obviously not a way to keep it like this, he has seen the image in his brain for two whole nights, if it weren't for his previous sleep was not good, with Ah Candle as a witness, he would definitely be recognized when he was awakened.
The moment he sat up, Xia Xiao felt like he was about to be exposed. Fortunately, the seniors believed in him enough, and it was obviously a wrong usage to use the trust of the seniors to conceal the truth, but Xia Xiao had no choice.
Because of the content of the video, Xia Xiao must take a cliff-like road, and if he is not careful, his soul will be scattered. This road requires a lot of preparation, the most important thing is Ah Candle, but how to get Ah Candle to help him is also a big problem. If it was something else, Ah Candle would definitely stand on Xia Xiao's side without hesitation. But the image is related to her, Ah Candle may not help him, but will only report it truthfully. But in that case, she'd be dangerous.
Xia Xiao thought of a way, and at the same time pretended to be calm, and went to the cafeteria to eat. Because Xia Xiao is usually so cold, enthusiasm and coldness are fickle, so he didn't arouse anyone's strange eyes, and his affairs did not spread among the students. But he was always wondering how he could get there.
Xia Xiao had determined that the images in his mind were really just images, and he had shouted hysterically in his dreams, hoping to get a response, but the woman in the darkness had nothing to say except the narrative and those few images. That image didn't react much, and even had a clear purpose, which was to threaten Xia Xiao and make it difficult for him to tell his predecessors, and to be ashamed of his trust.
After eating, when he brought it back to Xiaobailou, Xia Xiao saw that Ah Candle was familiar with the handprint, and immediately thought of a good enough excuse, so he asked Ah Candle:
"If one day I have something to hide from you, will you be disappointed in me?"
"It's not like you haven't been hidden. ”
Ah Candle thought about it, removed the handprint, glared at Xia Xiao, and asked:
"Honestly, what are you doing?"
"Ah Candle, listen to me. ”
Xia Xiao grabbed Ah Candle's hand, although she felt that Xia Xiao was a little inexplicable, but she did not resist, and Xia Xiao's breath was hidden.
"You have to trust me. ”
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Xia Xiao's face gradually became serious, serious and terrifying, as if he was doing something that was vital to human life, and he could not delay it in the slightest.
This kind of momentum made Ah Candle look into his eyes, gradually calm down, no longer ask the bottom of the matter, and make a quiet appearance of listening to Xia Xiao. The latter saw that Ah Candle had lost his previous liveliness, and suddenly looked well-behaved, but his heart was not a taste, because what he was doing could be said to be using Ah Candle, and it would also make Ah Candle disappointed in himself, and it was inevitable to be angry.
"Say yes. ”
Ah Candle looked like you bought me and I helped you count the money, which made Xia Xiao feel pity, how could there be such a simple girl? It's so stupid, why can't she see her own thoughts?
It's not to blame, it's just a kind of worry from the bottom of my heart, which makes Xia Xiao hug Ah Candle, and the latter hugs him. Ah Candle felt the weight of Xia Xiao, and his eyes were as gentle as water for a moment, shining brightly. The palm of his hand was gently caressed behind his back, and the comforting tone was like coaxing a child.
"What's wrong? Is it too much pressure lately? Don't be cranky, even if that image appears, it won't help you. Besides, you and me, we are invincible in the world, it doesn't matter. By the way, I won't blame you even if you hide something from me, because we said that we would believe each other. ”
Ah Candle's words made Xia Xiao close his eyes, he was struggling, thinking about whether to execute it according to the plan or take the risk to tell his seniors. Xia Xiao felt that the latter was feasible, because his strength was too low, but as soon as that idea was confirmed, a voice came out in his head.
"If you want her to die, you can go!"
This was just an illusion, but it really caused Xia Xiao to exude a ferocious aura. The woman's tone was the same as in the dream, a threat and a contempt, as if she knew that Xia Xiao would not go.
Xia Xiao pondered, he really didn't dare, because he was afraid that she would die, and because the senior sister and Di Muli's predecessors did not appear. It seems that the woman in the dark has become stronger again, so strong that she hallucinates herself, and the senior sister can't find out. Of course, Xia Xiao firmly believed that this illusion was not spontaneous. However, he also has his own methods, although it is a little risky, but there is also a possibility of success.
Now half of it may be a strategy, Xia Xiao grabbed it, and grabbed Ah Candle's shoulders with both hands in complex thoughts, making him look at himself.
"Ah Candle, from now on, you will do whatever I ask you to do, and whatever I say will be what I say. Don't ask why, don't ask your doubts in front of anyone!"
Xia Xiao's eyes showed some pleading, which made Ah Candle suppress that emotion even if he was very curious. It's not easy for Ah Candle to do this. But she did it, and suppressed her instinctive questions in front of Xia Xiao.
"Let's have breakfast, and after eating, let's go to Senior Brother Chuanlian. ”
"For ......"
Ah Candle habitually asked the first word, but frowned because of Xia Xiao's previous words, and covered his small mouth.
"Well done. ”
Xia Xiao was eating breakfast, originally happy for Ah Candle's reaction, but looking at a banana on the table, he gradually felt that this was feasible, but the only unstable factor was Ah Candle. In order to get out of the academy, Xia Xiao must be with her, otherwise he will be discovered immediately. But it also symbolizes that he must tell Ah Candle the truth.
In the face of the truth, what will Ah Candle do? Xia Xiao couldn't predict her reaction, but the first thing he did after eating was to take her to Chuan Lian. The latter has nothing to do, except to improve his strength is to study the rune array, seeing that the two of them are very welcome, but Xia Xiao's proposal made him extremely surprised.
"You mean to say that you want me to engrave all the runes I have mastered on the scroll?"
"If you can, it's better to engrave all the rune formations that Sun Zhonglei's predecessors mastered. ”
Xia Xiao's request was a bit excessive, and Chuan Lian's first reaction was to ask:
"What do you want to do?"
"Ah Candle and I want to study the rune array, senior brother, you also know that we are quite special, and we can master the power of the rune master while becoming a martial artist. ”
"Then it's useless for you to do this, how can you learn without anyone to teach?"
"Senior brother, believe us, we can and be good at self-learning. ”
Xia Xiao was extremely confident, and Ah Candle also nodded again and again. Her movements were a little clumsy, but no one dared to underestimate her. When her contract beast arrived, it surprised half of the academy. But even if they can learn on their own, it is not reasonable to have so many rune formations, Chuan Lian always felt that Xia Xiao had something to hide from him, so he euphemistically excused himself:
"Xia Xiao, it's not that I don't want to help, but even if there are few talisman masters in the academy, I don't have much intersection with Sun Zhonglei's predecessors, how can I persuade him to help you engrave the talisman array?"
"That's right, but at the level of the senior, it's difficult for me to use his talisman array, and I have to trouble my senior brother to make a move. ”
Chuan Lian stepped forward mysteriously and asked Xia Xiao:
"Honestly, what do you want to do?"
"Retreat to learn the talisman array!"
"Will it work?"
It was Di Muli who asked this, and his arrival made all three people present salute, but Xia Xiao's eyes were full of urgency. His gaze was extremely firm under Desmuli's gaze, and Desmuri did not see the weakness of his heart and concealment, but he also smelled that something was wrong. Is it too late to learn the rune array at this time?
"Senior, even if I can't sleep peacefully at night, I can't relax during the day, if I don't have enough strength, I can only be slaughtered by others. ”
Xia Xiao said such vague words, but Di Muli thought he understood what it meant, and said:
"Chuanlian, please. ”
Di Muli opened his mouth, and Chuan Lian naturally had no reason to refuse, and he must do his best. But when Xia Xiao and Ah Candle left with gloomy faces, he asked:
