Chapter VI: Identity
Just when Gao Wuxuan was soaked in cold sweat on his back, Mu Xue, who was standing in front of the four people, including him, spit out a breath of turbidity and walked boldly to the black-robed man in front of the stall.
"Is there anything you need us to do?"
Mu Xue asked the black-robed man softly, her expression remained unchanged, but her voice trembled a little, obviously she was not as calm as she appeared.
After all, she had only just survived the third reincarnation of the Secret Realm, and the black-robed man in front of her, just because he could take out a shocking trick weapon to sell, was enough to understand that he was a terrifying veteran who had lived at least ten times of the reincarnation of the Secret Realm.
Mu Xue couldn't see his emotions at all, and looked up slightly at the face of the man in black.
The next moment, her eyes only felt pain, her eyelids subconsciously covered her pupils, and it was pitch black in front of her.
But at the same time, Mu Xue also saw clearly the black-robed man, the face covered by the shadow cast by the hood, the rotten face showing the bones, and the eyes that should have been lifeless were half-open as cold jade.
"Ugh! Run! ”
Her eyes hurt, Mu Xue covered her eyes, roared and ran back with all her strength.
Although this is a ghost market, it is a place protected by adults, so theoretically there is no danger.
But what if the person who wants to do it is the big man who stabilizes the order of the ghost market?
Although Mu Xue knew that her current thoughts were ridiculous and incredible.
But her instincts told her to run faster!
Seeing Mu Xue turn around and run after screaming in pain, Chen Shan was the first to react, and without saying a word, he also turned around and ran, followed by Wang Chaochao in a white dress, and Nie Yun also ran away after taking a final look at Gao Wuxian.
For a while, only Gao Wuxuan was still standing in place, facing the black-robed man behind the stall, but now he didn't dare to look up at his face anymore, and the sharp pain in his eyeballs after his eyes met, he hadn't eased his breath until now.
"What? Why don't you run? ”
There were only two people left in front of the stall and behind the stall, and just when Gao Wuxiao was thinking about whether to follow Mu Xue and them, the black-robed man spoke.
His voice was as cold as before, but it was different from before, and there seemed to be a little emotion in his words now.
One after the other, it's like a puppet without sanity who has gained spiritual intelligence.
Listening to the words of the black-robed man, Gao Wuxiao gritted his teeth lightly and wanted to ask him why he didn't run.
First, he understands that this is a ghost city, with big people maintaining order, and he will not be harmed here no matter what.
Although this point has been a little shaken after Mu Xue ran away, Gao Wuxian still believes in his own ideas very much.
Then there was the second point, he didn't feel the emotional outburst that should be released from the black-robed man after obtaining the deterioration.
After meeting Mu Xue and the others, he already had a basic concept of the strength and weakness of the eater, and now that he didn't feel the black-robed man's outgoing emotions, he subconsciously thought that the black-robed man had no more threats to speak of except for a pair of special eyes.
In Gao Wuxian's eyes, the black-robed man was not aggressive, had no killing intent, but was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
In that case, why can't we communicate?
This second reason is an important factor why Gao Wuxiao did not escape with Mu Xue and the others.
The black-robed man's words fell, and Gao Wuxian, who gritted his teeth, breathed a sigh of relief, as he thought, the black-robed man did not mean to do it directly.
It's easy to communicate.
With a calm heart, Gao Wuxiao still didn't intend to look directly at the black-robed man, and asked, "Who are you, weren't you still behind just now?" Why did it suddenly appear here? ”
Asked by Gao Wuxian, the rotten face of the black-robed man was torn off, revealing a hideous smile.
"First of all, to answer your first question, who am I?" Knuckles tapped on the stall covered with black cloth, and the black-robed man said with a smile: "I can't tell you this question directly, but when you go back, you should be able to guess my identity, so I won't say more here." ”
"And then there's the second question, why am I just behind, why am I right in front of you now?"
The black-robed man said to himself, knocking on the knuckles of the stall for a moment, and then crossed his index and middle fingers.
"That's why."
The black-robed man's cold voice with a smile sounded behind him, and Gao Wuxiao suddenly looked back when he heard the sound, and the black-robed man behind him actually appeared there out of thin air.
His heart trembled, and Gao Wuxiao hurriedly turned his head to look in front of him, and the black-robed man was obviously sitting here in front of him.
"This is the power of a trick weapon." Lowering the crossed fingers, the black-robed man tapped his fingers on the stall, and a rhythmic tapping sound sounded.
As if noticing the disbelief on Gao Wuxian's face, the black-robed man smiled and continued to say to him: "Of course, this trick can also be sold to you, it only needs a thousand lives." ”
1,000 lives......
Gao Wuxian couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, no matter whether the person shown by the black-robed man's trick was a phantom or an entity, this ability was undoubtedly a bug-like existence in actual combat.
No matter where the enemy's attack comes from, it only takes a wrong finger to change the shape and position, which is enough to avoid most ghost attacks.
"I'm sorry."
But a thousand lives is still too expensive, and Gao Wuxiao doesn't have that many lives to squander.
"It's too expensive, I can't afford it."
Gao Wuxian's words fell, and the sound of the black-robed man's knuckles tapping in front of him stopped, although he didn't look directly at his face, Gao Wuxian could still see from his movements that he was a little stunned at the moment.
"Hmm......" After pondering for a long time, the black-robed man spoke again: "Since you can't afford this thing, how about selling the Blood-Eyed Grape and Sijing to you together for five hundred lives?" ”
Although he wanted to accept it, Gao Wuxian understood what it was like in his pocket.
Five hundred lives, he really can't take it out.
Seeing that Gao Wuxian's face was embarrassed, the sound of the black-robed man's knuckles tapping stopped again.
After being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked with some excitement, "Aren't you the one who was favored by that adult?" Why don't you even have a 500-life life? ”
"The sir?" Capturing the key words in the black-robed man's words, Gao Wuxian raised his head slightly, a little unclear.
However, he can still defend the words of the black-robed man.
His lips opened and closed, and Gao Wuxuan said softly: "I'm just a newcomer who has just lived the reincarnation of the Secret Realm, and I don't have five hundred lives...... It should be normal. ”
"A newcomer to the first reincarnation of the Realm?"
Hearing the excitement in the black-robed man's words, he suddenly said: "No wonder that adult will take a fancy to you, you are actually a newcomer who can obtain the deterioration for the first time in the reincarnation of the Secret Realm." ”
After listening to the words of the black-robed man, Gao Wuxiao only came back to his senses at this time, and he suddenly thought of who the adult in the black-robed mouth was.
