Chapter 30: The Unknown Past
At this time, Lie Yu was very diligent in helping her remove the extra dishes and chopsticks, handed over the boiled hot water, and carefully helped Ai Daqi cover the bed quilt, and the operation went smoothly
"It's still two or three hours before dawn, and although I didn't expect you to get up at this time, you're still going to sleep for a while," Lie Yu's gentle words gave Idaki goosebumps all over her body, and she trembled
"Why are you so attentive to me all of a sudden, there must be a demon when things go wrong, what do you want to do?"
Idaqi's suspicion made Lie Yu's body pause slightly, and then he said in disguise
"Haha, look at what you're saying, what can I have..."Lie Yu hadn't finished speaking.
Ai Daqi cast a look of obvious disbelief, staring at him with beads of sweat falling down, and finally couldn't hold back the fierce feather move
"Well, I do have something to ask you?"
Adaqi was not surprised by this, and said, "Hehe, it's really unexpected, if you want me to answer, you can, but I'll talk in another place." ”
"Ah, where to go?"
Lie Yu asked a little puzzled, and followed Idaqi's footsteps to the bathroom, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Idaqi standing in front of another door in the bathroom and was about to open the door, Lie Yu was also curious about why there was a door in the toilet, she had already opened the door and walked in.
"Don't be stupid, come here."
"Oh, good."
Lie Yu subconsciously followed, but as soon as he crossed the door, he was blown by a sudden night breeze and couldn't open his eyes, but the moment he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
He exclaimed at the sight of a platform the size of half a football field, accompanied by a night sky with sparse stars
"Oh my God, your room is connected to the big platform on the top floor!!"
"Needless to say, otherwise why is our house the only duplex structure in the entire building, and this platform is also counted."
"Can I not be surprised, only your room is connected to this platform, I didn't even know it existed, this was also prepared by your father"
"Sort of, he knows I like to look at the stars, but it's superfluous to say that it's just redundant, and it's almost the same as an emergency exit."
As he spoke, he motioned for Lie Yu to sit on the big bench by the door, just looking up at the starry sky and saying nothing, this inexplicable silence made Lie Yu very uneasy, and finally he hesitated to speak
"You..."
"How much do you know?"
Idaqi's sudden words interrupted Lie Yu, and he paused for a moment, but then lowered his eyes and said calmly
"Not much, I just know that the reason why you are so painful is because of the power of the origin sealed in your body, and the cause of pain because of contact with fragments and the use of magic, and finally mastered the sealing circle created by my mother for you, she asked me to take care of you, and then, and then it was gone."
After Lie Yu finished speaking, Idaqi frowned slightly, but after a moment, she sighed and said
"Whew~ Okay, it's not too much to say less, I really didn't expect that there would be a time when I would say these things in person"
She said again, "Ahem, Lie Yu, let me ask you a question, are you afraid of death?"
"Huh?" Lie Yu didn't react to this question, so he could only say, "I don't know, are you afraid?" ”
"I'm probably the most death-feared person in the world."
"Why, is it because of that curse?"
"That's part of the reason, but it's not accurate to say that I was in a state like that, but it's pretty much the same, do you know the center of the universe?" Adaki asked another question, but it made it difficult for Lie Yu to answer him
"The center of the universe? Your question is strange, does that kind of thing really exist, the universe as an infinitely expanding space, it has no boundaries, and it is also difficult to define where the so-called center is. ”
"No, it exists, but I'm not referring to a place, the center of the universe is actually an energy crystal called the source, I'm sure you've heard of it, it's the source of all the energy in the universe and the collection of all forces, for the universe, the source is the heart-like existence, and the existence of all life depends on its power to continue."
"It's really a force that makes everyone rush to it, no wonder so many people want its fragments, so if someone gets all the origin power, wouldn't they be able to dominate the universe"
Lie Yu exclaimed, it was already shocking to see the Origin Fragment that had been passed down by word of mouth, but he didn't expect its provenance to be so important, which couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Huh! It's beautiful to think about, but do you really think it's a good thing to get such a powerful power, and what's even more ironic is that this power that everyone is rushing to is in my body and I don't want it, if you can take this power whoever wants it! ”
Adaki rolled her eyes at this, and then said in an unkind tone to express her disgust with this power, and Lie Yu couldn't help but wonder about it
"Then why are you collecting the Origin Fragments, not to mention the Origin Power in your own body, wouldn't its fragments make you more miserable, and I'm curious why such a powerful force is sealed in your body?"
Lie Yu's two consecutive questions made Idaqi let out a meaningless laugh, and then heard her say
"It was an accident that I became a container for the Origin Power. As for the reason, I can't answer, but just like Aunt Sunset told you, about one-third of the origin power in my body will indeed riot under the traction of other fragment forces, and my body will be in severe pain like a curse, and the stronger the fragment power, the more obvious it is, and this power also has a tendency to periodically expand, that is to say, as I get older, this power will become stronger and stronger, and in the end, my body will collapse because I can't bear it, and even my soul will turn into powder and disappear, As I am now, I guess that 25 years old is the limit of my body. ”
Idaki recounted as if she were telling someone else's story, but Lie Yu felt an inexplicable sadness in it.
He couldn't help but sink his eyes and look at Idaqi, his eyes revealed a trace of pity, but Idaqi, who was aware of it, said sharply
"If you think I'm pitiful, then there's no need, it's my freedom to live what I want, even the so-called Origin Power can't stop me from living."
Lie Yu was shocked by her fierceness, and immediately withdrew the so-called pity in her eyes, it is indeed like what Idaqi said, she doesn't need the mercy of others at all.
And when the conversation talked about this, Lie Yu had roughly understood everything that had happened so far, and there was no need to say more, but he still asked again for the last question in his heart
"So you're collecting those pieces to heal yourself?"
"Of course, otherwise I deliberately found guilt, since the first episode of my memory, my father has studied for a long time to save me, and finally found the most feasible way is to use the fragments with two-thirds of the remaining power to integrate into a complete crystal, and use special instruments and magic to extract and transfer the power from my body."
"And what happens if you fail?"
"Hehe, what else can I do, it's just that the result of death remains the same, and the success rate of this method is only ten percent, it can be said that it is a gamble of life!"
"Then why do you insist on trying when the probability of success is so low, and the results are the same!! Collecting shards makes you more miserable, doesn't it? ”
Lie Yu asked eagerly, he didn't quite understand why Idaki had to try a method that would definitely fail, but when his question came out, it attracted a burst of ridicule from Idaqi
"Then what do you call me to do, do you understand the feeling of knowing your death but not being able to do anything about it, do you understand, do you understand!! Since there is a way, why don't I try, even if the success is only one percent, or 0.1 percent, as long as there is hope, I am willing to do it, I, Ai Daqi, don't believe in this evil, why should I have to die!!
The more Idaqi spoke, the more intense she became, she even picked up Lie Yu's collar and looked straight at her, her purple eyes were full of pain and sadness, Lie Yu was shocked by her, infected by her, and finally could only look down at her and couldn't say a word
And Idaqi, who had finished yelling at this, lowered her head and gasped, and then laughed at herself inexplicably
"Ha, hahaha, forget it, why am I talking to you about this, what can you understand about me as a long-lived Tianyi clan, I'm tired and I'm going back to rest."
After saying this, Edaki let go of Lie Yu and opened the door and went back to the room alone, while Lie Yu stood there and kept his head bowed and didn't know what he was thinking, until the sky was faintly bright, and the sun rose in the east, he returned to Idaqi's room.
