Chapter Eighty-Four: The Patriarch's Curse
Vaguely, there is always an inexplicable light that appears in Kiki's mind. But at this time, the light was real, shooting down from the stone hole in the top of the empty cavern, and shining through the gap in the iron cage on the sleeping Kiki's quiet face. Drop by drop, the spring water from above struck the rock next to it, and the sound of trembling vibrated rhythmically through the silence of the spacious cavern. Woke Kiki awake, she looked at everything strange around her, and reached out and banged on the cage:
"Someone! Let me out! Let me out! ”
There was a pool of clear water in the low-lying area not far from the cage, and the water seemed to be stirred and the water swelled, and in the water there were swimming faces, and the edge outline of the faces could not be seen, only two red eyes and a mouth could be seen on each face. Looking at Kiki above weirdly, it's like visiting an animal in a cage.
"Wow......" Kiki shrank back in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!" A slightly eerie sound came from the water. A transparent human figure slowly stepped out of the water and revealed its color, revealing its true face.
"I'm the invisible man, my name is Dongdong Monster, the pet owner of the transparent seahorse wing tube snail." As he spoke, he revealed a transparent blue-gray skin and scales, and his eyes were still red on a large cake face. It is not said that he is physically strong, but he shows many scars on his body.
"See if I'm hurt? In fact, stealth merfolk are not good at fighting, only good at sneak attacks, reconnaissance and searching for intelligence. Dongdong Monster smiled slightly bitterly.
"Why arrest me, my companion found this will make you look good, let me out!"
"Are you worried about the mother and daughter duo who are fighting the whales? Actually, don't worry, they're safe now. Akandro was too busy to dwell on them. ”
"What are you holding me for? Let me out! Kiki pushed hard against the door in the cage.
"I know you don't believe me, and I can't prove I'm not a bad person. Because you don't understand why your memories are like fragments, why you have so many question marks in your head, you don't know your own truth. ”
"You don't have to worry about my business, let me out!"
"I can't let you out, it's going to be more dangerous if you go out. A man may be wary of his enemies, but he will be wary of his trusted companions. It's easier to suffer from the unexpected, and then you can't regret it. ”
"Why should I trust you as a dangerous person?"
"I have to admit that Arcantero and I have been using our own methods to stimulate and awaken your memories. But then I found out that your life was cursed by the black-robed patriarch of the imperial city at the beginning, so you couldn't find your fate to complete the second evolution. According to the rules that existed in the past, if your behavior was abnormal, the Empress of Taiping Imperial City would order you to be killed. Would you be willing to be killed before you can find out the truth? ”
"You don't sow discord, I won't believe your nonsense." Kiki felt a vague sense of confusion, deep down in her heart, why she couldn't figure out why the bad guys seemed to know better. Could it be that the black-robed patriarch and empress really had plans to kill her? But that seems even more unbelievable.
"I also know that both Quiren and Thousand Thorns are trying to save you and indirectly dying, leading you to believe that they are all good people, and that we who are opposed to them are bad people. You have read many books, do you know what is the difference and boundary between good and evil in the logic of evolution? "Dongdong Monster seems to have an amazing IQ.
"I don't want to hear about these things, let me go back." Kiki was a little excited, and seemed a little tired on the way to find the truth about herself. If it's a dictionary of troubles, why bother to open it?
"Believe it or not, I have to tell you that I saw a secret letter when I was gathering information about the Imperial City. It was written by Quillen to the Empress of the Imperial City, and the content is related to you, but the secret letter is partially missing. The rest of the content is that if a girl named Kiki opens the forbidden palace and touches the holy relics, she will be killed. Did the Empress tell you about this? ”
"Don't say it, it's full of lies. You and Acantero are both ill-intentioned careerists. Kiki was uneasy and put her hands over her ears, not wanting to hear him talk nonsense anymore.
The Dongdong monster standing in the pool wanted to continue talking, but at this moment, the pool was sparkling. A seahorse wing snail swam up to it, showing two terrible red eyes. After communicating with his heart, there was a subtle anxiety on his face, something should have happened.
"Che Gugu, come on!" The monster turned around and called out to flush the pool.
After the fluctuation of the larger surface current, a mermaid emerges in the water, with a large and large body. It's a chubby mermaid aunt. The complexion and scales and appearance made Kiki feel familiar, as if she had seen it before.
"Here, Dongdong Monster, what do you need my help with?" The voice has the tone of a typical fat woman.
"Ugh! There are some urgent things I need to do outside, so please help me take care of this little girl, and don't let her out. ”
"Hmmm! Don't worry, I'm here, you can get busy first! ”
"Thank you." Dongdong monster didn't look back, dived into the water and hurriedly left. Kiki guessed that the entrance to the cave should be under the pool.
Facing the sturdy cage in front of him, plus the fat aunt guarding outside. Kiki told herself to calm down. Manic mood can block some of the brain's information processing channels, making it impossible to think of a good way to formulate a countermeasure. Facing reality is the foundation of rational behavior. And the current reality is the cage in which he is imprisoned.
"Hmm! I remember who you are. The aunt transformed into a terrestrial humanoid and approached the cage and looked inside: "I'm Che Gugu, remember?" We met, and when my pet sunfish died, I caught a couple of jellyfish that he loved to eat and tried to wake it up, and you and that little hottie with short hair showed up. ”
"I remember." Kiki replied, "But the short-haired girl you mentioned worries me, and I don't know what is going on with her." ”
Che Gugu looked at Qiqi in prison with a sad expression that was moving, and he cried inexplicably, still like at the beginning, tears spurted out like two small fountains. This cry made Kiki confused.
"Auntie! I don't think I hit you, do I? What are you crying about? ”
"Wow wow...... Che Gugu cried louder: "The little girl is sad, I have to cry more than she is sad so that she is not so sad, wow, wow, wow......"
Kiki suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her little grandson, who had seen old ladies laughing and crying, would also use this trick. But which one does this aunt want to sing? Isn't it sentimental?
