I compared what I knew of as a reclusive warlock with the Wei Chi family, and then I found some conflicts.

"The hermit warlocks I know are often solitary outliers who choose to go into self-imposed exile in order to avoid the gaze of others, and do not travel in company with other warlocks, let alone form a family organization. Otherwise, it would simply be the formation of another society outside of society. I said, "And, if the Wei Chi family really advocates seclusion, then why do they still participate in the commercial activities of secular society?" As far as I know, the Wei Chi family once invested in an entrepreneur and married the women of the family to each other to strengthen the bond between them. This doesn't seem to be the behavior of the hermit family, does it? ”

The entrepreneurs and women I am referring to in these words are the parents of the Blue Bird.

"The kind of hermit warlock you are talking about, even among the hermit warlocks, is an extremist, in fact, the hermit organization still exists." The man across the table said, "Of course, as you questioned, the Wei Chi family is not a real hermit family, they just have a tendency to secrecy, so they will still pay attention to the information of the outside world to a certain extent, and exchange life materials with the outside world as little as possible." However, they also take some of the dogmas of secrecy seriously, such as not using power to satisfy their worldly desires, and not participating in any outside organizations. ”

"Your last words seem to contradict reality." I said, "The main force of Tianhe City...... No, the 'Wei Chi' who used to be the main force in Tianhe City, isn't he a member of the Wei Chi family? ”

"Of course, Wei Chi of Tianhe City is also a member of the Wei Chi family, and he is also the successor of the Zong family. But as the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, no matter what the collective, it is not surprising that there are one or two deviants. He said, "Wei Chi is such a 'deviant', he thinks that he has worked hard to temper his strength as a warlock since he was a child, and in the end, if he can only live in the forest far from society like the old man in the family taught, that kind of life will be too empty." What is the use of power if it does not fulfill desires? So he wants to win a place in the outside world no matter what, so that money, power, and beauty ...... Anything he yearns for, he has the confidence to get his hands on. ”

"In other words, Wei Chi joined the Security Bureau not out of the intention of Wei Chi's family, but his willful will?" I asked.

"Yes." He nodded.

"It sounds like he's come out here for something mundane." I say.

"It's all vulgar stuff, but the more vulgar the desire, the more vigorous the power. Doesn't it mean that so many people want it, and this is the root nature of human beings? As a black marketeer, he seems to have his own opinion on this, "There are always people who like to claim that they have unearthly desires, and they have deceived not only others, but also themselves." But that's just boring stubbornness, and you can't even face your true heart, so how can you convince others? They don't understand at all that the Great Dao is not in the Qing Talk, but precisely in the mundane things they despise. ”

I had no interest in his sudden life insights, and pulled the topic back, "If Wei Chi's pursuit is so simple, then why did he defect from the Security Bureau?" ”

"Who knows. But since he defected to the camp of demon warlocks, it was probably for power. He said, "Desire is a bottomless pit, and if you want to realize more desires, you need more strength." Even, the pursuit of power is itself a vulgar and vibrant desire. ”

"You seem to know a lot." Then, I asked the question I was most concerned about, "In that case, let's talk about how much combat power the Wei Chi family has." And, what can be done to break through the barrier of their clan? ”

"The Wei Chi family has three main ranks, as well as a number of warlocks who can't form combat power for you." He said, "One of the main ranks is Wei Chi, but he has already broken with his family. Originally, he couldn't get along with the people in his family, and after he defected, presumably the Wei Chi family must have taken the initiative to dissociate themselves from him in order to avoid the fire burning on him. ”

"As for how to break through the barrier of the clan land...... This is not something that I can know as a black market citizen. He thought for a moment, then continued, "But there is a common way to break through this kind of barrier with the central idea of 'hiding', and that is 'powerful awareness'. Even if the perception of the main force level does not work, maybe it will work beyond the main force level. For example, when he was engrossed in the lack of Liucheng, it was possible for him to forcibly observe the geographically non-existent clan land of the Wei Chi family into the real world. ”

The more I listened, the more I felt that the person in front of me did not look like the "black market citizen" he called himself, and I am afraid that he had a deeper background. Naturally, I developed an inquisitive mentality about him himself.

"The Wei Chi family is so low-key, how did you make an enmity with them?" I asked.

"It's a long story, let me ask first, do you know how the warlock bloodline of the Yu Chi family is inherited?" He asked.

"Of course I do. They combine the women of the family with monsters to form hybrids, and then combine them with hybrids to obtain offspring with a high percentage of human components with advanced sorcerer talents. I said.

"That's right. Moreover, they prioritize the talent of the other family as warlocks when selecting the women of the family as 'living sacrifices', believing that the parents of geniuses are more likely to give birth to genius offspring. Generally speaking, the women of the clan are stronger than the clan in terms of warlock talent, so the 'living sacrifices' are also selected from the clan. But if the women of the separated families show excellent talent, they will also be chosen to be 'living sacrifices'. Speaking of this, he changed his words, "You said earlier that true hermits don't huddle together for warmth, right? In fact, the Wei Chi family's clan themselves had the same idea, but they couldn't do it so thoroughly, so as a compromise, the clan transferred all the divisions to all walks of life, leaving only themselves in the clan land. ”

"What does this have to do with your feud with the Wei Chi family?" I asked.

"Don't worry, that's it. Through an unexpected encounter, I met a girl from a certain Wei Chi family. "It was a very beautiful girl, and at the same time she had a gentle heart. Although sometimes she accidentally makes clumsy moves, and she has some sloppy habits, but that's also her cuteness. When I first met her, she was still studying in an outside school, and I happened to be the same age as her. It didn't take long for me to get to know her, and she had a crush on me. You shouldn't be unclear about what teenagers and girls in the prime of their youth will develop after confirming each other's intentions, right? ”

Thinking of his previous words, I already had a hunch about what was going to happen, "She has a strong talent for a warlock, doesn't she?" ”

"Looks like you've seen a lot. Yes, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a genius on the path of a warlock. Actually, to tell you the truth, I also have a little talent in the field of warlocks, but I can only bow down in front of people who are truly talented. Some of the tricky problems seemed to her as simple as one plus one equals two...... It's also possible that she wasn't that genius, but I had a narrow vision back then, and I mistakenly thought she was a genius; Or maybe she wanted to show off in front of me, deliberately pretending to be so relaxed. "But at least the Wei Chi family judged that she was gifted enough to be a 'living sacrifice,' so one day, she disappeared." ”

"I'm frantically looking for her, looking and looking, looking and searching...... Finally, I found her in the clan land of Wei Chi's family. She had been locked up with the monster in a dark cell in the clan for an unknown amount of time. He said slowly, "Seeing her so desperate and miserable, I couldn't do anything about it, and I wasn't even allowed to help her out." At that time, I hated my weakness immensely, but at the same time I understood the truth. After all, people need strength to live in this world. That's what you think, too, Majin Lido. As long as you have enough strength, you can sweep away all misfortunes. That's why you're so unscrupulous in your pursuit of power, right? ”

From his statement, I captured the huge problem. At the same time, seeing that he suddenly turned the topic to me, I asked, "I seek power?" Play hard? ”

"I can see it clearly. The reason why you combined with such a terrifying monster in the past was for power, can it still be for love? He seemed to be gradually peeling off his disguise, "I know how you feel. The feeling of not having strength is so humiliating, let alone living well, even dying with dignity is a luxury, and if you want to die, you have to kneel on the ground and cry and beg. At that time, if I wanted to get her back, or at least let her die, I had to keep getting stronger. And now, my strength has even reached this level. Not only have I already killed her, but I can do whatever I want to pursue again, and no one can stop me......"

"Who the hell are you?" I had a vague hunch, "You just said that you saw that girl in the clan land of the Yu Chi family, but how did you enter the clan land of the Yu Chi family?" ”

He suddenly calmed down and showed a strange smile again, "When you were in Tianhe City, didn't you always inquire about my whereabouts repeatedly?" Why, when you actually see people, you can't recognize them? ”

"You're Wei Chi." I said in a sure tone, and at the same time ready for battle. But this is the store, there are some customers around, and there are pedestrians outside. If a battle breaks out here......

I don't want to think about it that way, but I fight when it's time to fight.

Strangely, even at this point, I still didn't perceive the threat in him.

"Don't worry, I do have a grudge against the Wei Chi family, and the reason why I gave you information is indeed to find them a little more unhappy." He said, "Why, can't you sense something wrong from me?" I've heard from Bloodbite that you seem to have a similar sense of danger to hers. If someone wants to frame you, you will immediately notice it. But here I'm just a doppelganger, and I don't have the power to threaten you. Moreover, my goal was not to be your ...... from the beginning"

In the next moment, the Siren's Blade shattered the table and chair, slashing at him. However, he retreated like a ghost, avoiding my attacks. The loud movement attracted the astonishing attention of the staff and customers.

Frankly speaking, the attack just now was purely a knee-jerk action after listening to his words. I didn't even react to myself, but he dodged it smartly.

"I was kind enough to give you information, but you attacked me suddenly?" He asked rhetorically.

"Your target is not me, and you stopped me on my way to the blue bird, then, your target is the blue bird." I said, "Are you talking to me to hold me back and prevent me from joining up with the bluebird?" ”

"So you attacked me in order to kill my body through this clone?" He smiled, his words revealing his understanding of me, "It's useless, I'm prepared." This special doppelganger has no other ability, it is fast. As long as you don't kill me as fast as I kill myself, you can't kill me. ”

Hearing this, I didn't continue to waste time here, turned around and walked towards the blue bird.

I don't know what Wei Chi is looking for the blue bird, whether he wants to do the same thing as Wei Chi's family, but now I obviously don't have the time to continue asking.

"It's too late for you, my body is about to take her down......" His voice came from behind me, but at this moment, a dull thunder came from afar, and his voice stopped abruptly, "How can it be ......"

I glanced back at him, and his face was full of disbelief and he stood there like he was stupid. Is he planning to use this kind of performance to hold me back? Just as I was skeptical, he fell face down on the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, his whole body seemed to turn into fragile foam, shattered the moment it collided with the ground, and disappeared like a dream.

——

Disappeared like a dream - this was my first impression of the scene where Wei Chi's clone disappeared. And at the first moment, I sensed the sense of dissonance of this impression. This is not an improvised metaphor for me, but a hint of awareness. The disappearance of this doppelganger is anything but normal.

But I don't have that much free time to reason about and examine the scene of his disappearance.

I galloped as fast as I could. When I got to the place, I saw a lot of residents gathered downstairs pointing and pointing upwards. Upstairs, the location of the Blue Bird's house turned into a large and glaring hole, as if there had been an explosion not long ago, and the outer walls were blown to pieces.

My heart tightened all at once. But then, I swept downstairs to the figure of the blue bird. She actually mingled in the crowd of onlookers like a nobody, looking at her home with a sigh on her face.

I hurried to her, and she turned her head to see me and was surprised, "Li Duo, why are you here?" ”

"Where's Wei Chi?" I asked as I watched my surroundings warily.

"How do you know the captain is late?" She asked curiously, then added, which was also an answer to my question, "He's just dead." ”
