Chapter 170: Meeting and Signing
"Get out of here!"
On the central platform, a black figure perched high on a black throne, suppressing madness, a look of pain on his face.
He originally had no facial features, and after Bernadette called out "hometown" in Chinese, two blood-red eyes grew on his face, tearing out an organ that looked like a mouth.
"Get out of here!" The figure repeated the words.
Bernadette was almost sure that this black figure was the father she had been looking for for many years.
She didn't follow Russell's orders, she just stood there, staring at the dark shadow on the high-backed throne, as if nostalgic, as if relieved, but more like a loneliness after being drowned in sadness.
Rossell's body suddenly cracked many cracks, densely packed, and blood red flowers bloomed in every part of his body, and these flowers bloomed with a strange light, as if they were about to turn into a blood moon immediately.
And at this moment, Russell used the power of the Black Emperor's rules to exile himself to another virtual world, leaving only a virtual shadow in place, and his essence could not return to reality.
He tilted his head in pain, and the eyes in the middle of the flowers began to look tired, gradually ceasing to blink, as He distorted the course of things, and the "flower" that was about to bloom returned to the stage of gestation, repeating the process over and over again.
After doing all this, Russell looked at Bernadette with a sigh of relief: "Hehe, my little princess, you have grown up. ”
"You've grown up to be able to come here alone, come here, let me see what my little princess is like now."
"In the blink of an eye, after so many years, I still remember how you looked when you were born, waving your fleshy little hands, and those sapphire eyes are so beautiful."
Russell babbled about the past, reminiscing about the beauty of the beginning, as if the tragedy of the present can bring some sustenance.
"When you're a little older. All kinds of clothes I designed for you, but unfortunately, when you grow up, you can't wear cake dresses anymore."
The eyes that were no longer crazy and twisted stared at Bernadette, and their eyes were full of longing.
Bernadette stepped forward and wanted to walk towards Russell. At this moment, a gray vortex appeared beside Bernadette's side, and two figures swelled and appeared.
"Stop, eldest niece." The moment Su Lin appeared, he grabbed Bernadette's shoulder, "Don't go over." ”
At Zhongli's feet, the naked eye could see the flow of divine power that seemed to be like substance, forming a high wall of golden and transparent, cutting off the road 20 meters ahead.
The tide of chaos turned from transparency to substance, slapping against this high wall, runes appeared and flashed with dazzling light, and runes continued to be distorted and eroded, and runes continued to appear again.
At this time, Russell the Great buried his head down, and his struggling appearance reappeared, and he said very hard: "Yes! Stop it! Don't, come closer! ”
"I'm polluted!"
He screamed the last sentence, then looked at the two uninvited guests with those blood-red eyes, cold and full of desire.
The sadness in Bernadette's eyes grew a little thicker, and the long-held suspicion was finally confirmed, that she had hoped that the pollution was a hoax, and that she had hoped to find Russell.
It turns out that the statement of the God of Light is correct.
The bright red flowers are closed one by one, more like shellfish in the sea opening and closing their mouths, flashing red like blood, and those eyes in the middle are sometimes "closed" and sometimes "opened".
He glanced at the faces of Su Lin and Zhongli, and then looked at the clothing style on Zhongli's body, some surprises, and some surprises, he noticed the personality and power coming from the two of them, although the nature of the power of the earth is a little strange, but it is not in the way, it is good to be able to fight.
He straightened up slightly, and shouted with difficulty, "Seal me!" ”
seal
Bernadette repeated the word silently, her blue eyes quickly moistening and clouded with a faint mist.
Although she has long known today's situation, and she is no longer the little girl she used to be, this mood is still difficult to contain.
A sword of light flew from the sky and plunged into Russell's chest, pinning him to a black, high-backed throne, white threads like cobwebs spreading from where his flesh came into contact with the lightsaber and growing to the throne behind him.
Russell was a little unable to control his actions and tried to leave the iron-black seat, but he resisted with all his might, allowing the forces of order to run rampant in his body, and gradually, his consciousness cleared up a little, and he seized the opportunity to close those eyes on his body.
The chant sounded in his mind, wanting to lead him to eternal tranquility, but the power of the Black Emperor in his body unconsciously produced instinctive resistance, and even so, Russell's state was much better than before.
The scarlet cracks closed one by one.
Four hundred-meter-high rock ridges rose from the ground, constantly resonating, solidifying the surrounding space, the aura of Gengjin was permeated, and a solemn atmosphere appeared, and the laws of the Black Emperor's attempt to interfere with the outside world were interfered with and blocked, and golden chains came out from the rock ridges, tying Russell to the throne.
Above the gray mist, Crane took advantage of the vision of the three of them, leaving behind a paper figure, and Russell looked up and looked at the top of the mausoleum, looking at the Source Fort and even Klein in the Source Fort through the layers of time and space and fog.
He said in surprise in Chinese: "Wo, you still have one person?!" ”
Twelve pairs of winged angels descended from the illusory space, their wings spread, and they embraced Russell, and a mark remained in his body, carrying some gray mist aura.
It's not enough to make a Black Emperor completely unable to break the seal.
The vast light energy of the sea was poured into Zhongli's rock ridge, and the golden rock ridge was flooded with bursts of white rhyme, strengthening the seal and forming a compressed reserve source, if the Black Emperor twisted the way the rock ridge drew energy from the earth, it would be provided by the energy of the light element, enough to support more than half a year.
"Come on, go on! Don't pity me! Russell yelled, "Hard! Didn't you even eat! ”
Su Lin was stunned for a moment, and the light element formed a sphere in his hand, constantly intertwined and converging with light, and the hymns of the other world synchronized with the sound of the world and sang destruction.
"Are you sure?" Su Lin replied in Chinese.
"Stop!" Russell twisted restlessly on the throne a few times: "I can still save it!" ”
How long have you been crazy, why did there be two more true gods in my fellow countrymen? If this last mausoleum is destroyed, he will not feel good.
How long has it been since the Eternal Sun and Mother Earth were shattered by them?
Su Lin extinguished the Light Divine Technique in his hand and said, "Almost, in a few months, the Fool will come back to graft your state, so that you can achieve a stable state." ”
"Fool." Russell looked at the infinity and said, "That's fine, as long as you remember to come here regularly to recharge your batteries." ”
"Buddy above, come down and have a good time."
"Daddy." Bernadette called softly.
Russell retracted his gaze and turned to Bernadette, wanting to pull out a smile, but he didn't laugh, he frowned slightly, and said in a changed tone: "Bernadette, who taught you to dress like this?" ”
A tear crossed the corner of Bernadette's eye, and the tone and manner of asking questions was the same as when she went to court evenings many years ago.
Seeing Bernadette's appearance, Russell's face with only facial features instantly softened a lot, "You shouldn't have come here." ”
He also looked at Su Lin and Zhongli: "You shouldn't bring her here, it's just to increase sadness." ”
The old days were so clever that perhaps only the same old days could have a chance to save him, and this pollution had become one with him, and no matter how many times he was resurrected, he could not get rid of it.
Su Lin said in Chinese: "I will come to the door for Zhou Mingrui on the source fort, while both parents are there, you see when the wedding will be done." ”
"How many tables? Send an invitation to the Fallen Mother Goddess, I want to give her a knife. ”
“.”
The black figure fell silent, and then, the bright red crack cracked again, like a bewitching flower, and the Black Emperor's power impact reversed the seal of light and earth.
The chaos and shadows all twisted into a spiral, venting in the direction of the sky, trying to crash against the invisible barrier, but they were bound by the shining chains, and golden energy flew from the place where the chains bound him, like sparks and splashing rain.
Bernadette saw that Rosell, who was even more crazy than before in the seal, and her sadness suddenly turned into worry, but she still looked at Su Lin calmly as the leader of the 'Elemental Dawn', as if they had just communicated something in the language of 'hometown' that caused her father to become like this.
"Give Lao Tzu a !!"
"Little Bunny Roll Down !! Labor and Management"
Zhongli raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Lin, with a little uncertainty in his tone, "It doesn't seem good for you to stimulate him like this." ”
"I'm sorry, I think I'm out of it." Su Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded, not feeling guilty at all.
Crane above the gray mist sighed silently, parents on both sides? Whose parent are you, it's also appropriate for you to be a hunter, and a word can make Sequence 0 get out of control and anger Mr. Fool by the way.
I took a paper figure, shook it casually, and in the sound of a snap, the paper figure quickly thickened, expanded, and flew into the translucent vortex of illusory and mysterious symbols next to the "Fool" seat.
Through the symbolic imprint in Russell's body, the paper figure penetrated the slowly rotating vortex and descended into the rather bleak interior of the mausoleum where the light source came from nowhere, and transformed into a human in front of the central platform.
Compared with the two people around him, this human has black hair and brown eyes, the outline is not rigid enough, the lines are not deep enough, the temperament is not cold enough, there are certain differences in facial features, and there is a little more fat on the chin and stomach.
He turned his back to Bernadette and didn't let him see his face.
"Your name is Zhou Mingrui!?" The shadow that Russell had turned into kept crashing, and the light on the barrier shone on the dim mausoleum, and his voice echoed: "I'll kill you when I get out of here!" ”
"He's joking." Klein said lightly, without the slightest panic on his face: "Not counting the years of sleep, your daughter is older than me." ”
Russell's movements froze, and those distorted shadows gradually took shape, turning into the previous pitch-black figure, nothing to do with it, only bright red cracks all over his body, and those eyes were firmly fixed on Crane.
"It's true." Zhongli stepped forward and said to Russell, "You don't have to make this appearance, maintaining this balance for a long time is not good for your mental state. ”
Hearing this, Russell used the power of the chain to barely stabilize his state again, and those cracks closed one after another.
"You are my peers, and Bernadette should call you uncle." Russell pressed the armrest with one palm, leaned forward slightly, and he could only stretch out his neck when he was bound by chains, this sentence was not in Chinese, he said it to the three people, but also to Bernadette. "Brother, give me an opening."
Zhongli nodded, and with a flick of his finger, a rock ridge separated up and down, revealing a gap.
"Daddy has something to say to his uncles."
"Bernardette, leave, never return." Russell stopped looking at Bernadette and said no more.
Bernadette wanted to say something, but it was already dark in front of her, as if she saw the shadow of order, and the next second, she found herself back on the edge of the pristine island.
She stared blankly at the peaks deep in the island, then slowly turned around and walked towards the sea.
"This kid is like this, well-behaved, smart, and knows how to be filial to my old father." Russell smiled with relief, "Although she is already a big man in the mysterious world, even you true gods can't save me, what can she do." ”
"Her character is so upright that some of the things I did later were hard for her to accept, well, thanks to the primordial moon, He polluted me, everything can be blamed on Him, I can be a non-stick pan and always be a good father to her."
Russell made a humorous joke and laughed at himself about his current situation.
"You're real skin." Russell looked at Su Lin and said.
"Agreed." Klein glanced at Su Lin.
"I was going to ask where you are from, to see if there is a need for regional discrimination." Russell sighed, then chuckled: "No need, you must all know the truth, everyone is just a poor worm who can't go home." ”
"I eat salted tofu brains." Su Lin shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Can anyone eat that sweet tofu brain?" ”
"If I were still in power, the whole country would define you as an evil god" Russell sighed, and then wondered: "What are you doing?" ”
Su Lin took out a cardboard and an oil-based pen and handed them to Russell through the gap.
"Sign it for me." Su Lin's eyes were slightly expectant, "Help me write another sentence." ”
"Oh? Those things I copied can still have fellow countrymen as fans? Russell's face, the mouth symbolizing the mouth cracked, "What do you want to write?" ”
"The taste of a witch is so good!" Su Lin paused and added: "I will make up Huang Tao again." ”
Zhongli watched as Russell's black arm grabbed the cardboard and squirmed, revealing a red flash that disappeared in an instant, and shook his head helplessly.
"Why aren't you a red priest?!" Russell asked wonderingly: "It's a pity that this style of taking the initiative to provoke trouble takes the sun route." ”
Russell thought that he might still have a request for help, and hoped that these fellows would have a chance to help him, so he signed his name on the white cardboard.
He is really a sacrifice, a sacrifice of the Tarot Society. Klein thought silently, it's a pity, I've always wanted to tease this sentence in front of Russell.
Russell threw the cardboard out, his faint brow furrowed suddenly, "How many diaries have you seen?" ”
"A lot." Crane replied in a calm voice, "I also collected some blasphemy cards. Well, your women's clothes don't look bad. ”
This is actually a lie, he only has the 'Black Emperor', the 'Tyrant', and the 'Red Priest' in his hands now.
"Everyone came from that materialistic era, and women's clothing is a normal thing." Russell looked at Zhongli's dress: "Does this person know how to use a mobile phone?" ”
"I have WeChat." Zhong Li said succinctly.
"I'm sorry. I thought you were ancient, well, I mean you have a lot of temperament. Russell coughed lightly, changed the subject, and asked Klein, "You are in Fort Source, which way are you?" ”
"Soothsayer."
“.” Russell was about to say something, only to find Klein pulling out a large pile of snacks and a TV.
"Yours." Crane put these in the seal, "You can use it to pass the time when you're fine." ”
With that, he brought the conversation back to business and asked Russell:
"How's your relationship with Zarathu?"
"There is a shallow friendship." Russell recalled, and then there was some displeasure in his tone: "Diviners are really annoying, you know, as an angel can sense that someone is using their own historical projection. ”
"This guy likes to take out my history projection and fight at every turn, and I've been doing business several times. Ahem, what, why are you asking this? ”
Klein nodded and said directly, "Zarathu is about to do something to me, and for some reason, the two of them can't help me solve Zarathu in the first place. ”
"Of course, it's very difficult to catch and completely solve a Sequence 1 soothsayer."
"So, I want you to give Him a backstab at the point."
"Well, after all, he is a competitor in the same sequence as you, and he must be eyeing your Source Fort as well." Russell bowed, hesitated, and said to himself: "Actually, I have a good relationship with Zarathu. ”
"I remember it was a sunny night, and we were in the same Sequence 3 fighting side by side in a ruin, giving our backs to each other completely."
Klein was silent for a few seconds, listening to the emotional story from Russell's mouth, and he interrupted, "Getting to the point. ”
"Zarathu is my best friend, good brother." Russell sat on the throne and said solemnly.
For a while, the scene was a little quiet, and Su Lin looked at Klein with interest.
Klein said in a deep voice, "I'll add money." ”
He naturally caught the meme.
"Deal!" Russell wanted to get up to celebrate, but the seal was too strong to move.
The emperor exhaled slowly and then said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I have a small request, I want you to help me take care of Bernadette and provide some help when she needs it."
"Your diary and the Blasphemy Card have helped me a lot in the past, and these things have allowed me to master a lot of high-level knowledge when I was weak, so that I can avoid a lot of dangers and work in a targeted way." Without hesitation, Klein replied, "I promise that if I have a chance to become a good old man in the future, I will try to help you clean up the pollution." ”
"Hey, good brother." Russell laughed, his tone changed, and he reminded, "Remember, you're her uncle." ”
"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
"Zhou Mingrui." Klein introduced himself.
"Zhongli."
"Su Lin." Su Lin remembered something at this time, it was something that was not described in detail in the book, and asked Russell, "I asked you about something." ”
"Have you heard, Key of Light?"
