CHAPTER XIV
At dawn, the sun dispelled the haze, and the life that grew from the depths of darkness, even if it was unwilling, must leave at this moment.
Su Mo woke up.
But even if she realized that the scene just now was a dream, she couldn't control the trembling, and the emotions of death and fear enveloped her.
12138 may be unbearable, so he came forward to comfort him, and used his tentacles like a stump and a broken arm to caress Su Mo's back: "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream." ”
Su Mo is not a timid person, she has spent long and hopeless nights alone again and again, and soon she calmed down her mood, and left in fear, wondering in her heart: "Why did I dream of those?"
It's not for the dark shadows that I've never seen, but the memories of my childhood, the memories that I thought were dead, suddenly came out to attack me: "This is a world dominated by you, it can't be because of your prying eyes, that's why I dreamed of those, right?" ”
12138 was asked by Su Mo a little weakly, the truth is exactly like this, but how did Su Mo guess it?
"Not really." 12138 said it rightly, and turned his head to look angry.
Because of the previous conversation, 12138 was really curious about what Su Mo had experienced, so he made a good claim to check her childhood, but halfway through it was interrupted by a female ghost who attacked halfway.
Seeing that Su Mo didn't believe it, it had no choice but to use what it knew about the female ghost to divert Su Mo's attention: "Do you know what that black shadow in your dream is." ”
When Su Mo heard this, he only felt that his neck was shiny, and he couldn't help touching it with his hand to personally confirm that there was anything wrong with his neck: "What is it?" ”
Seeing that Su Mo was attracted by his words, 12138 continued to say: "That's a female ghost, her name is Bai Yu. ”
"Bai Yu?" Su Mo muttered and repeated.
"Doesn't that sound familiar?" 12138 looked arrogant, "That's the name of the heroine of your female frequency ancient sayings novel." ”
"It's a mess." Su Mo complained, "With so many things together, you don't feel too chaotic." ”
12138 pouted and said, "It's not that you have too much, but that's not the point, the point is that the female ghost is here to ask you for help." ”
"Help?" Su Mo was really going to laugh angrily at this, "Which one begs someone to do something and pinches someone's neck?" ”
12138 smiled dryly: "Maybe it's too much for others, but I think it's quite kind to you." ”
“...... It's really a dog that doesn't have ivory out of its mouth. Su Mo gritted his teeth.
12138 shook his head: "Can't you see that I'm a cat?" ”
"Cats?" Su Mo looked suspicious.
12138 consciously said that he had leaked his mouth, and he looked around with a weak heart.
"Anyway, I've been wondering, what the hell is this guy with a radish head and a cat face, it's a cat."
This remark touched 12138's reverse scales, and it was furious on the spot, and said fiercely to Su Mo: "What am I about you?" Shut yourself up, sometimes I really don't understand what it means to be human! ”
Its anger was too sudden for Su Mo, Su Mo frowned tightly and looked at it without saying a word.
12138 felt that this was very boring, and reminded for the last time: "What you have to do now is to go to the Celestial Empire to find Shark Zhu, and by the way, help Bai Yu solve a little trouble." ”
"Is this all part of the mission?" Su Mo boldly guessed, "Whether it's helping Gu Zhaofeng find a shark bead or solving the problem of a female ghost, you don't have a position to remind me again and again, this has something to do with the reason why I came to this world, right?" ”
12138 looked at Su Mo's eyes so complicated, penetrating her current body, as if she saw her in its memory.
It quickly pulls its mind back, and when it doesn't know how to answer a question, it's shameful but useful to run away.
Su Mo is also accustomed to the sudden disappearance of 12138, but these things, one by one, make her have to care.
Whether it's helping Gu Zhaofeng or Bai Yu, what does it have to do with the system, so that 12138 reminds himself again and again?
Although Su Mo agreed to the conditions of the system, Gu Zhaofeng's madness and amnesia were always a mystery.
Su Mo racked his brains and couldn't keep up with the brain circuit of the main program, so he couldn't figure out who would do this.
Maybe Pei Jingqi?
It could really be him.
But why did he do it?
Now is not the time for him to blacken, and if he is blackened now, will his acting skills be too good?
If it weren't for the system's reminder, a keen Su Mo would hardly have noticed anything abnormal.
A person who is beaten and does not squeak, a person who looks weak, can really be so inconsistent?
In order to verify the conjecture in her heart, Su Mo went to find Pei Jingqi again, and this time, she found him easily.
As if it was deliberate, it was easy to be deliberate.
"Senior sister." Pei Jingqi is not very old after all, the soft tissues on his face are rich, with a little cute baby fat, a pair of crooked eyes when he laughs, and small fangs are exposed between his red lips and white teeth.
Su Mo's gaze wandered over him, and for a moment, she felt that she was confused, and looked at his expression and unconsciously wondered if there was something wrong.
After all, in the original setting, Pei Jingqi was just an innocent young man in his childhood.
"I," Su Mo was speechless for a while, but she didn't know how to say the words when they came to her mouth, "That ......"
"Huh?" Pei Jingqi tilted his head, his eyebrows on one side were slightly raised, and his mouth showed a suspicious arc.
Looking at his smile, Su Mo's intuition told her that everything was really what he did, and his expression proved it: "You did it!" ”
She spoke very bluntly, with a firm and irrepressible anger.
"Me?" Pei Jingqi pointed at himself, chuckled and shook his head, "I did it!" ”
He confessed! He didn't ask anything and admitted it directly!
"I did it." He said it rightly.
"So arrogant?" Su Mo glared at him in disbelief, his mouth crooked.
"Huh?" Pei Jingqi looked confused, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was aggrieved, "Isn't it okay to help you clean up?" ”
The more he spoke, the lower his head shrank, and Su Mo gradually lost sight of his face, only shaggy hair.
"Cleaning?" Su Mohu looked at each other suspiciously, "Why do you want to help me clean up?" ”
"Me, can't you?" His head was lowered so that the back of his neck could be seen.
"That's not what it means." Seeing this, Su Mo felt that it was really possible to wish for others, so he comforted, "You have worked hard to help me clean up, but why is this?" ”
"Because," he said as he tried to look up at Su Mo, and said softly, "because I want you to care more about me." ”
"You like me?" Su Mo didn't believe what he said.
Pei Jingqi was shocked when he heard this, staring at Su Mo with wide eyes, his face turned red, and it spread under his neck, and the whole person was like a boiled shrimp, ridiculous and pitiful.
But he shook his head firmly: "I don't, no." ”
"Why is that?"
Pei Jingqi looked at Su Mo's eyes, which were bright but full of doubts: "Actually, I wanted to kill you at the beginning." ”
Su Mo listened to him quietly, her mouth was deflated, a little aggrieved and a little relieved: "Why? ”
"Senior sister, do you remember the first time we met? At that time, you put a secret weapon on me. ”
"Do you hold a grudge?" Su Mo said very weakly, his eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, but he had nothing to refute.
"I'm not holding a grudge, I'm afraid." Pei Jingqi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid of being killed by you, so I'll strike first." ”
"Then you're not scared now?" Pei Jingqi's sudden confession made Su Mo confused.
Pei Jingqi shook his head: "It's just that I suddenly feel that there is no meaning, life and death are the same, so I am willing to confess to you, which is better than mutual suspicion." ”
"You noticed that, too?"
"Hmm." Pei Jingqi nodded, "I hope we can reconcile." ”
Su Mo looked at the other party's face, obviously feeling that he didn't understand something, and even felt strange, but he nodded to him so ignorantly.
Pei Jingqi was overjoyed when he got the reply, smiled at Su Mo, and resigned.
It took Su Mo a long time to think that something was wrong, but the words of understanding had already been spoken, and there was really no chance to stir up the conversation again.
In order to reach the Celestial Empire as soon as possible and help Gu Zhaofeng find Shark Zhu, Su Mo and his party were the first to set off in the experienced team.
Based on the reminder of 12138, along the way, Su Mo deliberately kept his distance from Pei Jingqi.
Pei Jingqi also saw it, and guessed that the other party probably still had palpitations, so he also took the initiative to avoid suspicion after Su Mo's cold treatment several times.
"What's wrong with you and Pei Jingqi?" Gu Mengyao also saw that the atmosphere between the two was not quite right.
Su Mo glanced at Pei Jingqi at the front of the team, sighed, and said, "It's nothing." ”
Gu Mengyao heard that Su Mo didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more, changed the topic, and talked and laughed along the way.
Bai Qi has always remembered what Pei Jingqi said to him before, and now the relationship between the two is like this, so he always appears at the end of the team for observation.
When thinking about things, people will always ignore their own situation, he has already fallen behind, but it was not until his little sister called him from a distance that he came to his senses, hurriedly accelerated, and met him.
There were some questions, and he wanted to ask Pei Jingqi well, but it seemed that the other party had forgotten everything and had no intention of saying anything to him at all.
He could judge that it was at least safe to appear, so he gave up further investigation for the time being.
Most of the immortal cultivators travel by flying, and Su Mo and them are naturally no exception, and soon they arrived near the Imperial City of the Heavenly Empire.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the people started walking before entering Kyoto.
Before entering Beijing, Pei Jingqi, who had been leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
He said: "You have to be careful, the atmosphere here is very wrong, and if I am not mistaken, there is something unclean here." ”
OF COURSE, THERE'S A FEMALE GHOST HERE WHO WAS THE HEROINE OF MY PREVIOUS NOVEL, AND IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT SHE'S QUALIFIED TO BE A BIG BOSS IN THE WAY.
"For the sake of safety, we disguised ourselves as ordinary people and hid our spiritual power so that it would not be detected by monsters." Bai Qi proposed.
The rest agreed with him.
