Twentieth Fate The Dying
Yan Luo, who had been facing Tang Yuanyuan and No. 4 him, seemed to finally have a plan to act, but obviously such a plan was not a friendly negotiation.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the depression on the ground and took a deep breath with some uneasiness, saying that he was too careless just now, and he didn't pay attention to Yama's movements at all because No. 4 was confronting Yama.
When No. 4 let go of the hand holding her and pulled her behind her again to stop her, she completely came back to her senses, and at the same time realized that the other party's target was not No. 4 in front of her, but herself.
"Yama... What do you want to do to her? ”
No. 4 raised his hand in front of her and asked Yama Luo who suddenly made a move on the other side, although Tang Yuanyuan couldn't see his expression clearly behind him, he unexpectedly heard anger from his words.
"Do what?" Yan Luo asked rhetorically, "On the charge of breaking into the life and death detention center of the underworld, do you think I can let that girl leave easily?" ”
"That's not a reason for you to make a move on her." Number Four said, "According to the rules of the underworld, she shouldn't stay in this kind of place if she has not lived her life, but the blow you just gave seems to really want her life." ”
"And as for her so-called guilt, I will take over. Don't you want me to bear those causes and effects the most? ”
"Is this the reason why you dare to trespass on the underworld with humans?" Yama laughed, "It is true by common sense, you can bear the cause and effect in the place of this girl... But the rules can be changed... That girl was special enough, and it might have been a better choice for the underworld to keep her. ”
When Tang Yuanyuan heard Yan Luo's words, he felt a little numb.
Even if she couldn't understand the rules and cause and effect of the mouths of Number Four and Yama, she understood the intention of the other side of Yama who had completely changed at this time.
In fact, before coming to the Life and Death Detention Center, she also asked No. 4 about whether she would be targeted by the underworld for doing such a bad thing, and No. 4 swore that she could solve it... But if his so-called solution is to graft the blame onto himself, then it is obvious that the side of the underworld is a little uncomfortable at this moment.
The other party seems to want to keep him first.
Why? What does it mean to call her special enough? Is it because she has become the second living person to be able to return from the Life and Death Detention Center? Couldn't it be that she was cautious enough and happened to step on shit luck?
Of course, she only dared to think about this kind of complaining in her heart, and no matter what, she didn't want to stay in the underworld like this, although she had always been able to see demons and ghosts before, and she herself saw the boundary between life and death more plain and blurred than ordinary people, but this does not mean that she is in a hurry to be a ghost in the underworld now.
"It turns out that helping to run an errand also comes with a back pot service?!" Tang Yuanyuan stood behind No. 4 and muttered: "Do you give five-star praise?" ”
"You're still trying to joke." Four snorted, "It seems that your mentality is even better than I thought." ”
"If I don't have a good mentality, do I dare to follow you into the underworld?" Tang Yuanyuan didn't care about his yin and yang weirdness, but raised his hand and grabbed the wrist he stopped in front of, and whispered:
"Shall we find a way to get out of this siege first?"
"What, are you scared or do you think I'm not strong enough?" Number Four chuckled, "Don't worry, I promised to take care of you." ”
She nodded softly and said, "I believe in you." ”
But soon she asked out loud: "Protect me, what about yourself?" ”
As soon as she said this, the number four in front of her seemed to show obvious hesitation for a moment, and then did not answer her question.
Tang Yuanyuan actually didn't know the true strength and details of No. 4, although she had previously deduced from the ease with which the other party faced other ghosts that his strength was strong, but according to what Xun said, No. 4 at this time was obviously not in his heyday.
If the goblins swarmed up, or used some other trick, the more time they dragged around, the less likely they would be to escape.
Tang Yuanyuan naturally felt that she didn't gamble on these things, so she calmly continued:
"Whether you're strong or not, you won't necessarily be able to protect me against so many ghosts, and I'm not very willing to be a burden to sit still."
"And don't you think it's strange? I always felt like it wasn't like a wanted criminal... Those goblins seem to be deliberately waiting for some kind of delay..."
Before she could finish her guessing words, she was interrupted by the voice of Yama who was walking close to them on the other side.
"Looks like you're sharper than Four."
There was a little more smile in Yama's words: "Four, do you think I came unprepared? ”
"We have known each other for so many years, I know better than anyone else the difference in strength between us, you were right at the beginning, even if you are now, I may not be able to defeat me alone."
"But there are many ways to stop you, and we naturally have a way to deal with you."
As he spoke, a blue ball of light appeared in his hand, and the droplets hanging in the air like water droplets flipped and solidified, and in the flipped ball of light, there seemed to be countless black and white interlaced spheres floating and crashing and rolling.
The sound of Suosuo's metal chains colliding sounded in his ears, and the temperature around the Life and Death Detention Center suddenly became even colder than before in an instant, and the whistling wind faintly sounded some mournful cries.
Tang Yuanyuan only felt a strong wind rushing towards her, and the huge air currents blew her hair and clothes and rattled with each other.
For a while, there seemed to be some invisible huge barrier built around them, and in this cold barrier like a cage, there was an indescribable sense of depression crawling all over Tang Yuanyuan's heart.
“... Ghoul hexagram? ”
Four's face finally changed, and his gaze swept around him that the dark blue walls of fire that had originally surrounded the ghosts under the stairs gradually extinguished, and his spiritual power passed rapidly in this enchantment aimed at him, as evidenced by the walls of fire that could no longer remain the same.
And Tang Yuanyuan, who was standing beside him, also noticed his strangeness, Tang Yuanyuan felt inexplicably familiar when he heard the name of the hexagram at first glance, but before he could think of it, he was suddenly grabbed by No. 4, who took a step back, and grabbed his right hand.
Four's brow furrowed, and he didn't say anything, but quickly began to write something on her palm.
Tang Yuanyuan was originally slightly startled by No. 4's sudden action, but seeing the other party's somewhat anxious look, he finally decided to believe him and did not withdraw his hand.
There was no trace of what No. 4 had written in her palm, but where his fingertips were attached, Tang Yuanyuan could feel a faint coolness.
"It's indeed a ghoul hexagram." On the other side, Yama Luo looked at him and finally became a little agitated, and responded patiently, "This is a spell used to suppress the fierce ghosts, and such spells may not be worth mentioning to you in the past..."
"But now that there is no 'her' by your side for a hundred years, your spiritual power has already been lost rapidly, and you may not be able to survive this catastrophe."
Number Four didn't bother him because of this, but he continued:
"If you can't survive that seal, then that girl's 'sins' will not be released, so she will have to stay, and now she is nothing more than a fledgling in a cage for us."
Yama shook his head again when he said this, and then looked at Number Four and said:
"Actually, you have another choice. As you said, the guilt of the soul can be grafted with fate, in fact, you can also choose to let this girl bear your mistakes for you, after all, compared to her who really trespassed into the life and death detention center, you are just an instigator. If you're willing to do that, I'm not in a position to help you. ”
"And if you really forcibly send her back, your soul will be punished in the underworld for a hundred years with her crimes... Number four, you may not be able to survive the 100 years of ghoul hexagram gnawing now, and in another 100 years, she may not be in the world again... Isn't it? ”
"Would you like to hear what you're talking about?" Number Four interrupted Yama with a sneer, "I'm not in the habit of blaming others for my own crimes, and she doesn't have any reason to be my substitute. ”
"And those were originally my own plans and intentions, and I didn't intend to involve anyone."
"So I'll send her away. Of course, I myself will not be trapped in the underworld, and I can't afford to wait for another few hundred years. ”
"Every year I forget more about 'her', and it seems that the traces of 'her' themselves are becoming more and more blurred... It's as if 'she' is gradually disappearing from this world..."
He said something as if he were talking to Yama, but it was also like talking to himself.
What does it mean that her existence seems to be gradually disappearing...?
Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard No. 4's words, but when she recalled all the abnormalities she encountered in the Life and Death Thin Detention Center, she suddenly felt as if this was not an unexpected thing.
At the very least, what is certain is that the girl he is looking for is definitely not an ordinary human, and it seems that neither her identity nor her abilities are simple...
And just as Tang Yuanyuan was thinking about the words about No. 4 and the girl in his mouth, she suddenly noticed that No. 4 let go of her hand.
Instinctively, she looked back at Four, and met his red, anxious eyes.
"This spell will be activated later, and it will bring you back to the world. I sealed a layer of spiritual power into it, which can ensure that you are not hurt in the process of returning to the world.... You don't want to do anything superfluous later, no matter what you see, just wait for the spell to open the passage for you to send you back, understand? ”
As soon as his words fell, Tang Yuanyuan noticed that the rune spell marks on his hand that were just empty at the beginning had changed their touch, and those spells began to emit light blue fluorescence from her palm in an instant, and then the spell began to extend along her palm, and the entire hand was covered with a faint light blue halo.
Tang Yuanyuan immediately understood his intentions and grabbed his arm before he turned around.
"What about you?"
He probably knew that if Yama really used the ghoul hexagram, then he didn't know if he could guarantee that he would survive, so he suddenly wanted to send her away in a hurry.
But what if he really can't hold on, won't he really have to stay in the underworld for hundreds of years?
But he came here to ask himself to have news about "her", and finally got such a little news, and he had to be blocked alone for hundreds of years, and it was so useless, and it didn't make sense soon?
He just wanted to find that very important "her", Tang Yuanyuan knew that if it was a few hundred years later, and the wandering soul didn't know where to go, the chance would be even more slim, and even she felt sorry for him.
And this is not the ending she wants to see after doing all this.
But No. 4 only stopped in place after hearing Tang Yuanyuan's words, and then looked into her eyes for a short moment, and then opened his mouth coldly.
"It's none of your business."
As soon as he said this, he shook off her hand.
