Chapter 35: Choice
Syllable.
Xi Chunxue no longer had any sense of her soul, and she didn't even feel that her hand had already patted Qu Hancheng's shoulder.
Now she wants to sleep.
"You're awake."
The calm and indifferent voice slowly sounded in Xi Chunxue's ears, and the coldness that was intensifying on her soul finally slowly dissipated, but when she saw Qu Hancheng's gaze looking at her, a chill suddenly rose in her heart.
The pupils of those dark and deep eyes had turned into a treacherous black flower, and in the center of the stamen, a monster with a body curled up in nine circles could be seen lying in it, and the black sharp horns on its head were like pure black blades that were exuding a deep cold light.
And next to this monster, there is also a tiger head and a bull body, and a monster with three tiger eyes lies beside it.
This eye is clearly no longer a human eye, but has become a gathering place for these two monsters to recuperate! And when Xi Chunxue observed them, the two monsters also looked up at Xi Chunxue at the same time.
Three yellow-brown tiger eyes and a pair of turquoise vertical pupils opened their eyes to look at Xi Chunxue in unison, and Qu Hancheng's left hand had already pinched Xi Chunxue's neck.
"Don't look at them."
Qu Hancheng's eyes closed slightly, and on the left arm where he pinched Xi Chunxue's neck, a circle of black and treacherous patterns suddenly appeared, showing a spiral and spreading to Qu Hancheng's fingertips.
"They're monsters from the Nine Shadows?!"
Xi Chunxue touched her neck, even though she was in a soul state now, Qu Hancheng still left a faint blue fingerprint on her neck.
"I don't know where they came from, but I know they're monsters."
Qu Hancheng raised his head slightly, his left arm hung down weakly, and the black and treacherous cumbersome pattern instantly retreated to Qu Hancheng's heart at an extremely fast speed and disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Xi Chunxue looked at Qu Hancheng and asked in shock.
"As you wish, I already have the combat power you asked me to master."
Qu Hancheng closed his eyes and said with a chuckle.
But anyone can hear the bitterness and helplessness behind this chuckling voice, and Xi Chunxue is a sensitive person, how can she not hear it?
"No, I'm talking about your ability to suppress them, not the them themselves."
Xi Chunxue looked at Qu Hancheng with his eyes closed and said.
"And I don't blame you for this, it's entirely because I underestimated the book, and I underestimated myself, that led to this consequence, but I didn't expect you to bear this consequence."
Xi Chunxue held Qu Hancheng's weakly lowered hand, and she looked at Qu Hancheng with a hint of apology in a sincere tone and said.
Qu Hancheng lowered his head slightly and opened his right eye. The pupil of his right eye had also turned into an equally treacherous black flower, but there was no monster in the stamen.
"The girl's hands are so soft."
Qu Hancheng gently held Xi Chunxue's palm with his left hand, then let go of his hand and said with a chuckle.
"This is not a joke, the Nine Shadows are more terrifying places than hell, and the monster abilities inside are even more unfathomable, and the power of the Nine Shadows is enough to corrode people's minds and souls."
Xi Chunxue didn't care about Qu Hancheng's slightly frivolous move, and looked at Qu Hancheng with a serious expression and said.
Although Qu Hancheng's act of abandoning her to flee first on the other side of the Flower Plain, as well as the careful behavior of shrinking her head and brain from time to time along the way, she didn't like it very much.
But the foot in the deep passage of the dungeon was kicked down by Qu Hancheng, and "Nine Shadows" was also recited by her for Qu Hancheng to retell, and all the causes were caused by her.
Then she should bear the consequences, not the jailer.
"There's no way, if I don't do this, you'll all be eaten by them like those ghosts."
Qu Hancheng shook his head, raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the cell and whispered.
So everything seems to have a choice, but is there really a choice?
The owner of the gambling house in Weiqi Mansion in Beiyouzhou also gave him two choices, one option was to pay off the gambling debts that could not be paid off at all, and the other option was to let his sister go to prostitute to pay off the debts.
But these two choices are clear, and there is only one option to choose.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Sun Daguan also gave him two choices, one option was to be a housekeeper in his house, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver, but only a part of the gambling debts were advanced. Another option is to arrange for him to go to Sangyu Island Prison to be a jailer, and the salary is unknown, but he will help him pay all his gambling debts first.
Of these two options, there is only one option.
A month's salary is two taels of silver, and it will take four years and two months to pay off the gambling debt of one hundred taels of silver without eating or drinking, and only part of the gambling debt will be paid in advance, so the sister will still be sent to be a prostitute.
So he had no choice but to leave his hometown and go to Yunhai Prefecture, and became a jailer in Sangyu Island Prison according to the letter of introduction from Sun Daguan.
It was the same now, the monster had given him two choices, either let them live in his body or let them eat all the ghosts here.
Including Xi Chunxue and Duan Lingqi.
The first thing that Qu Hancheng thought of was the second option, he didn't get along well with the evil Jiao, and the evil Jiao also punched and kicked himself from time to time along the way.
There is also the female prisoner, although she has a good appearance and a good figure, and her attitude towards herself along the way is not very good, but it is not too bad. But after all, it is impossible to have deep emotions in this short period of time.
Reasonably, he should choose the second option.
But when he opened his mouth, he hesitated, and the damn kindness made his selfish heart waver, and he began to find ways to justify himself.
What if these two monsters lied to themselves and ate themselves after eating all the ghosts here?
And I'm really the only one left, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the cell in the end. Anyway, they don't seem to let me die, let them live on themselves, what if there is a way to expel them in the future?
So, Qu Hancheng still said the first one to the monster.
When Qu Hancheng agreed, the first of the two monsters tore his mouth open with its blood-stained hand, and Qu Hancheng felt that his mouth had been torn to his cheeks and earlobes.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Qu Hancheng didn't feel the sharp pain of the corners of his mouth being torn, he just felt this way.
Then the monster burrowed into Qu Hancheng's body, and then another monster also used this method to burrow into his body, and Qu Hancheng followed with a feeling of swelling and bursts of cold breath constantly surging.
Qu Hancheng's mind also began to appear in his mind the names of the monsters and their origins, as well as their gloomy voices that kept lingering in his mind.
