Chapter 18: The End of the Town, Jose (Part II)
Jose didn't know why he made this irrational choice, since hearing the news about Ye Duyu, his judgment ability was greatly affected, and he did a lot of irrational behavior, he didn't like this feeling.
It was a very tidy room, the room was well organized, José was not very sure what the girl's room should be like, the only girl he had ever visited was Rongruo's, and it was comparable to the disaster area after the tsunami.
The breeze blew the white curtains that hung by the window of the room, through which you could see the plane trees in the courtyard and the people in black mourning clothes coming and going under the plane trees. After the curtain fell, José saw a bed next to the window, Ye Duyu sat on the bed, buried her head between her legs, and Jose could hear the sound of sobbing coming from there.
There is a small crystal on the bedside table, which is the image of two people, Ye Duyu is holding a woman who is older than her but very similar, Jose remembers that it is her sister Ye Duxue, and now should be the time when Ye Duxue's funeral takes place, at this time he should have set off for the Elven River.
Jose walked to the side of the bed and looked at Ye Duyu, "How long are you going to do this?"
She looked up and looked at Jose suspiciously with red and swollen eyes, "José, aren't you leaving?"
Jose was silent for a moment, he knew that she had been seized by the past time, "Well, Jose should have boarded the passenger ship to the Elven River at this time." Still, he answered the question.
Ye Duyu stared at her with wide eyes in confusion, "You mean you still have to leave?"
Jose frowned and asked, "Did I do something wrong in this matter?" Jose was genuinely puzzled when he asked this question, he thought that there was nothing rationally wrong about accepting Dan Merson's suggestion to go to the Elven River to join Valhalla, but he always felt like he had done something wrong.
"No, you told me if you did anything wrong. Ye Duyu looked at him in disbelief.
"Any questions?" asked José.
"Get out!" Ye Duyu shouted and threw the pillow on the bed onto Jose.
Jose didn't dodge, this kind of strength was completely painless for him, he was more concerned about Ye Duyu's appearance, she cried, which made Jose a little at a loss, Ye Duyu in his memory was very good and strong, and he learned everything faster than him when he was in the academy, but she was crying now, crying like a little girl.
Suddenly, Jose noticed the abnormality here, the people in the courtyard outside the window were gone, the plane tree was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and traces of decay also appeared on the wall of Ye Duyu's room, it seemed that something had accelerated the flow of time here, Jose felt that if it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before Ye Duiyu would disappear in the accelerated time.
Jose rushed over and grabbed Ye Duyu's wrist, she looked at him stunned, "Haven't you noticed the abnormality? you shouldn't be here!" Jose stared at his eyes, her eyes were full of confusion, Jose frowned, he was going to take some measures, "Bear with it, it might hurt." He said to Ye Duyu.
"Huh?" Before Ye Duyu could figure out what was going on, she suddenly screamed, her face turned pale, and she lowered her head and began to retch, what Jose did was very simple, just to send the picture of what happened in the town during this time directly into her head, but suddenly being rushed by many alien memories will have a relatively large burden on her body.
When she raised her head again, her eyes were no longer confused, and she stared at Jose with a somewhat complicated expression, "Yes, I shouldn't stay here, let's go." She pulled him open the door to the room.
When the two of them opened their eyes, they had returned to the land of the town, and Jose noticed that Pavic and Hedon were gone, and in the center of the magic circle just now, Jose saw a huge black egg, which was rising and falling.
"What about Hedong?" Ye Duyu grabbed him and asked, Jose looked at the black egg and didn't answer.
"That's the King of Crime and Punishment, you let him be devoured by the King of Crime and Punishment!" Ye Duyu stared at the black egg with red and swollen eyes, and her voice was a few decibels higher.
"I made a bad decision. Jose also stared at the black egg that fluctuated regularly and answered her, Ye Duyu looked at him in a daze, stunned for a few seconds, and finally understood what Jose said about the wrong decision, she lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, "Jose, you shouldn't have chosen to save me." ”
"By the way, what about my child?" Ye Duyu suddenly raised her head and stared at Jose and asked.
José pointed to a hill in the distance, where the two children were lying and the black portal above their heads had not disappeared.
"What's wrong with them?" asked Ye Duyu.
"It's the same as you just now. Jose pointed to the black portal above them, "But you'll have to hurry, they're probably running out of time." ”
Without any hesitation, Ye Duyu jumped into the dark space, and Jose stood in place, silent for a while, and then walked away.
In Valhalla's top-secret archives, the last time the Lord of Crime and Punishment was resurrected, the black eggs had been turned dead for hundreds of miles, and he looked at the people around him who had fallen to the ground, feeling the dead silence coming from all around, was this the case twenty years ago?
Jose looked at the black egg vigilantly, there were many monsters that had turned into black gas next to the black egg twenty years ago, but there were no monsters to be seen here today.
After walking around the black egg, José found Walit behind the black egg, he was out of breath, José silently turned him over to examine the body, this legendary Zen did not die in a hallucination, his body became emaciated, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss. There was a long trail on the ground, he crawled to the side of this black egg from a long distance, in the last moments of his life, he seemed to want to destroy this black egg, he drew a large magic circle on the black egg, using his own blood as material, but he was already too weak, he had already shed too much blood, until his own blood dried up, he could not complete that magic array, looking at his big eyes, José could feel his unwillingness.
Jose wanted to take a closer look at the magic circle that Zen had drawn with his last life, but he was surprised to find that none of the symbols and words used on this magic circle he knew, Jose thought that he was quite solid in terms of magic theory, even if he knew a little about the magic of dragons and cavemen, but this magic circle belonged to a field he had never touched, a new kind of magic, whether this magic array was useful or not, José was not capable of completing it.
Jose walked back behind Ye Duyu, the black portal on the heads of the two children was gone, the girl was already asleep, and the boy was lying in Ye Duyu's arms crying loudly, Ye Duyu was comforting him.
The boy raised his head and glanced at Ye Duyu and himself, and asked blankly, "What happened?" Ye Duyu cast a sleepy spell on the boy, put her head to his ear and said a few words, and then stood up and looked at herself, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but there was a smile of relief on her face, and she seemed to have calmed down at this time.
José didn't ask what happened, but began to tell what he had discovered, he told her about Walitt, he didn't expect Ye Duyu to be able to help, but he talked a little too much today, and he himself noticed this, so he changed the subject, "Let's go, let's go back to the capital." ”
"Where is that magic array?" But Ye Duyu had no intention of leaving.
"Valhalla will take care of it here, he's dead, you shouldn't have a reason not to go back. Jose said, but as if she hadn't heard, she ran to the black egg, found Valitt's body, and closed his eyes for him.
"This magic array, I will. She turned her back to him and said.
Jose was stunned for a moment, then said to her, "Valhalla will take care of this thing." ”
But she smiled, her back to him trembling, she turned her head and looked at José, "What to do, twenty years ago, three people close to the throne helped you seal it at the cost of two deaths and one injury, who are you going to do this this time, you, Hegu Danmerson, or the three highnesses sitting in the palace?"
José was speechless, he thought for a while, "This time we found out earlier, and the difficulty of dealing with it should be reduced compared to last time." ”
"Morning?" Ye Duyu looked at him with a wry smile, "Can't you feel it, it's about to hatch, because Hedong is feeding him, we can't escape here before it hatches!" Ye Duyu stood up and walked in front of him, "Isn't it your duty to protect this country? Then don't stop me." ”
"Teach me the magic array, and I'll draw it. He Dong said it without even thinking about it.
But Ye Duyu had no intention of appreciating it, she grabbed Jose's collar, "Who do you think you are? I don't do these things for you, but for my own children! Don't come to me now to be a hero, do you think I will appreciate it? I don't need to!"
Jose was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Duyu who was crying in front of him, he nodded dumbfoundedly, "I know." ”
Only then did Ye Duyu let go of him, she tidied up her clothes, and said to Jose, "Give me and the child a few minutes." ”
Then she walked up to the two children, hugged them who were sleeping peacefully, and put her mouth into the boy's ear and said something. By putting her hand on the two children, the bodies of the two children who were held by her floated and emitted a faint light, in the faint light, the bodies of the two children revealed the characteristics of demon spirits, but it did not last long, the characteristics of the demon spirits on their bodies all disappeared, and all of them turned into human appearances.
José had been standing behind her while she was doing these things, and José recognized that it was a permanent transformation technique that would consume the caster's life, but it only changed the external appearance of the recipient, but not the inner substance, so the practicality was very low, and not many people would.
After doing all this, she stood up and looked at him, "I don't ask you to take care of them, I just want you to act as if you didn't see them, no one will care about a few children after He Dong and I leave, and it won't make it difficult for you." ”
Jose nodded, then stopped looking at the children, and followed Ye Duyu behind him to the black egg.
When Twilight pressed her severed hand to Valit's unfinished magic circle, Jose realized that she had lied to him, that the magic circle was spontaneous, and that whenever someone gave blood to it, it would drain the life of the sacrificer, and the process was uninterrupted until the sacrifice was dead or the ritual was completed.
José stared blankly at her as she grew thin, and muttered, "Why?"
Although his life was passing by rapidly, Ye Duyu had a smile on his face, "Jose, no matter how thank you for choosing to save me, you are not a monster with no feelings, but you must know that this world is not only right and wrong." ”
Jose's mind was blank, he didn't even hear what Ye Duyu said next, when he came back to his senses, the magic array had been completed, and the huge magic power gathered in the black egg sprayed into the sky along the magic array, turning into a firework that lasted for a long time, and the black egg that was evacuated let out an unwilling roar, and finally rose to the sky with the fireworks.
......
Far away from the town, three black horses walked on the horizon, and there were only two members of the pursuit team left, one was Passarian, who had lost his left arm, he sat on the horse with a sluggish face, his eyes were bloodshot, probably this dementia allowed him to escape, and the other was the second lieutenant named Chu Baiye, according to him, he seemed to have had a long dream, but he couldn't remember what happened, which made Jose look at him slightly.
As for the rest of the team, they all became José's name on the Black Book, and it is worth mentioning that the title page of the Black Book had an extra name that he will probably never forget in his life.
The town has been completely turned into a dead realm because of the illusion of the King of Crime and Punishment, and the townspeople have fallen asleep forever in that nightmare, but this is not the scope of Jose's disposal, and there will naturally be someone to deal with the affairs here when he returns.
Before leaving, Xinghe went to check on the two children, they were both sleeping deeply, Jose didn't take them away, he roughly understood what Ye Duyu meant, although the life of these two children will be very hard in the future, but in such a place far away from the capital, they will be safe.
Ye Duiyu's last words left him made him very concerned, and he suddenly wanted to go to the village where he had originally carried out his mission, so he stopped his horse.
"Take him back to the Iron Castle first. Jose pointed to the sluggish Pavic and said to Chu Baiye, who was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Hegu, aren't you with us?"
"I still have some things to do, and when I'm done, I'll go straight to the capital. José replied.
"Then let's see you in the capital, if something like this happens, the military department will definitely ask me to go to the capital. Chu Baiye smiled self-deprecatingly.
José didn't say anything, but agreed with his judgment, and he turned the horse's head in a different direction and walked away, and some kind of change that he didn't know was quietly happening in his heart.
