Chapter IV
Demon Realm
Xia Yue opened her eyes, and what she saw was still pitch black. Panic swept over the heart in an instant. The darkness in front of her seemed to have life, floating around her. Xia Yue realized that it was a thick black fog in the air, obscuring his vision.
The sky overhead was also dark. The dark canopy brings an oppressive sense of suffocation.
Xia Yue's body only had a hazy outline, no substance, like a wandering lonely soul. The pain became distant and blurred, and she hesitated forward, the mist around her flowing with her movements.
When the black fog dispersed slightly, a sea of flowers appeared in front of me. Bright red flowers and dark poppies, staggered growth, half a person tall, a strange and shocking vitality.
Xia Yue was lost in the sea of flowers. She plucked the stems of the flowers with her hands, stumbling to find a way out. As far as the eye can see, the scenery is exactly the same. The confusion of what to do gradually replaced with anger, and she began to run, the wind that brought up the flowers on both sides to bow down to her.
Immediately, a force pulled her out of this dark realm.
She saw a blush of blue. Then I finally saw the light.
Room
Xia Yue opened his eyes suddenly, his chest heaved sharply, and he gasped rapidly, greedily absorbing fresh air. After a few deep breaths, she realized that she met a pair of green eyes.
Su Yuan looked away unnaturally, "It's good to wake up, I'm ready to call an ambulance." ”
He was studying in the library by himself, but suddenly received a call from Su Qi, saying that Xia Yue had missed two classes, and he was worried that something was wrong, so he asked him to hurry up and find it. Due to the suppression of his sister's bloodline, Su Yuan was forced to put down his books and look for people all over the campus. The accumulated anger in his belly was thrown out of the clouds when he saw Xia Yue fall on the road, curled up in a ball unconscious.
Although he did have a lot of criticism about Xia Yue, it was impossible for her to really have an accident. Su Yuan picked her up and carried her to the bench on the side of the road. The girl was too thin, and the butterfly bones behind her were like wings that wanted to spread, and her presence was so strong that it was against his forearm. For a moment, an emotion of near-pity swept through my heart.
As soon as he called Xia Yue twice, he saw her wake up in a cold sweat.
Xia Yue slowly propped herself up and moved her shoulders slightly. The pain had completely disappeared, but the sight of Fang Cai was still seared in his mind, lingering. She tilted her head to Su Yuan, and popped out without a head, "Your eye color is very beautiful." ”
She thought she was going to be buried in that lifeless area forever, but she didn't expect to see such a vibrant greenery again.
When Su Yuan heard this, his fingers trembled unconsciously, and then clenched into a fist at his side.
"Is there anything wrong with you? Do you need to go to the infirmary? He stiffly diverted the subject, not responding to the compliment about the color of his eyes.
"It's all right. It may be that the head injury did not recover, which caused him to faint. ”
The kind of pain like ten thousand ants gnawing on the head naturally cannot be caused by a wound on the head, but at the moment, only by using this reason to prevaricate will not make people suspicious.
"Then you should pay more attention to your rest and contact the counselor if you have something." Su Yuan really accepted her words.
After two polite words of advice, there was nothing more to say. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of the atmosphere completely stagnating, Su Yuan got up and left first on the grounds that something was wrong.
He had barely taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and looked back.
The girl remained in her previous position, staying on the bench and not moving. Wisps of sunlight fell between her eyebrows and eyes, but they couldn't illuminate the dark pupils, and there seemed to be frost under her eyes that couldn't be dissolved.
Su Yuan remembered that the moment Xia Yue opened his eyes, the dark purple eyes he saw were like a bottomless abyss, and the darkness seemed to be substantial in them. Just the moment they looked at each other, there was a feeling of oppression like being choked by the throat.
Is it a dazzling illusion? Su Yuan forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart. It is clear that his appearance has not changed, but Xia Yue has brought him an unfamiliar feeling, as if he has never known him.
Xia Yue looked at the sunshine and was distracted, her thoughts were still stuck in the sea of flowers, so she didn't notice Su Yuan's scrutiny.
The feeling of warmth is so illusory and ethereal that it is difficult to stay for long. It seemed that when she closed her eyes, she would fall into darkness again.
I just don't know if she will be able to find her way home smoothly next time.
Xiong Yuqi sighed all the way. finally found someone who could get in touch with You Ziyi, but he still didn't seize the opportunity. One more day in the student union, one more day of coolie work. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Xiong Yuqi vigorously pushed open the door of a bubble tea shop called "Yuyan".
On the couch in the store sat a good-looking boy who was adding cream to the hot cocoa. With the sound of the glass door clattering, the boy's hand shook, and the cream made a table. His brown eyes glanced over, and after recognizing it as Xiong Yuqi, he swept away the coldness again, revealing a rather helpless smile.
"My eldest lady, there is a sign at the door that says closing, are you selectively blind?"
"How many years have we been friends, Xie Guanyan, is it possible that you still want to turn me away?"
Xie Guanyan was noncommittal, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head and began to deal with the mess on the desktop.
Xiong Yuqi was familiar with the road, nestled into the sofa next to him, lay on his back in a comfortable position, and sighed again when he looked at the ceiling.
As if knowing what she was worried about, Xie Guanyan stuffed the remade cream cocoa into her hand, "Don't sigh for a long time, the resignation letter you handed over is estimated to be responded to soon." ”
Xiong Yuqi suddenly came to his senses, staring at him with bright eyes, and almost wrote the word "curious" on his face.
"You Ziyi's sister is also in H University, and she is in the same class as you, called You Zihui. She was a regular customer in the store, and I knew her well, so I asked her to help with this little favor. ”
As he spoke, the door was pushed open again. A girl with long hair and a shawl walked in, looking as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her eyes were clean and translucent amber. Xiong Yuqi immediately realized that the petite and cute girl in front of him was You Ziyi's sister, You Zihui.
The eyebrows and eyes of the brother and sister are not similar, but they give people a very similar feeling, which is a kind of gentleness brought out by good upbringing, which makes people not feel malice.
When You Zihui saw Xiong Yuqi in the store, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly sorted out her emotions, nodded politely at her, and then faced Xie Guanyan, her face flushed with a shallow flush, "Brother Guanyan." ”
Xiong Yuqi sat up straight with interest, his searching gaze scanning back and forth between You Zihui and Xie Guanyan. If she remembered correctly, there should still be a "closed" sign on the door of the store, but You Zihui pushed the door in without hesitation......
It doesn't seem to be an ordinary acquaintance.
Xiong Yuqi "tsk" twice, and whispered to Xie Guanyan in a suppressed voice, "You actually betrayed your hue in order to help me." Don't thank you, if you two do, I'll pay for the banquet. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xie Guanyan's reaction, she got up neatly and gave You Zihui a place.
"Come on, classmates sit here. I still have something to do, so I won't bother. ”
When Xiong Yuqi closed the door, he even winked at Xie Guanyan in a matter-of-fact manner. She walked neatly, and she couldn't see the mixed emotions in the boy's eyes.
Demon Realm
"My lord, the breath of the demon lord appeared in the world just now." Yama's face still did not show mountain dew, but his heart was relieved.
It's been a few days, and the demon lord hasn't appeared for a long time, and he hasn't sent a signal, so it can only be an accident. The soul transfer technique is forced to be interrupted, and there is a high probability that it will backfire on the caster, causing confusion in memory and damage to the soul body at worst. In either case, Leng Yue would have difficulty separating from the human host and would not be able to return to the Demon Realm on his own.
In order to prevent the people's hearts from being turbulent and coveted by foreign enemies, several demon generals decided to declare Leng Yue's retreat to the outside world after discussion. It can't be searched in a big way, and Yama has to beware of internal ghosts, so he can only send a small number of henchmen to pay close attention to the situation in the world.
"The breath was fleeting, almost imperceptible if it wasn't deliberately searching. The subordinates can only judge the general direction. Yama frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. Being able to narrow down the search in a short period of time is already considered smooth.
"The subordinates also heard some news, but it has not been confirmed, so I don't know whether to say it or not." The henchman suddenly became expectant Ai Ai, and after making sure that Yama nodded, he spoke cautiously, "Near the sea of flowers outside the imperial city, some people said that they had sensed the demonic qi of the Lord...... Could it be that our lord has returned, but for some reason has not shown up? If so, then the general's panic and worry are a little ridiculous.
But Yama thought for a moment and denied this possibility. Others may have doubts, but he has a clear mind, because the bone ring is in his hands. If Leng Yue was okay and staying in the world was just her ploy, then she would definitely come back secretly and ask him to take away the holy relics.
The Demon Lord's trust is very limited, and she let Yama temporarily keep the holy relics, which is already the maximum concession she has made for the sake of the situation. Even if she really stopped in the sea of flowers, she must be in a very bad state. With Leng Yue's vigilance, if he is safe and sound, he will definitely not let the bone ring continue to stay in the hands of his courtiers.
"You don't have to go to the human world anymore, I'll take care of the rest." In the vast sea of people, it is too unrealistic to let the henchmen investigate them one by one. There is an induction between the holy object and the demon lord, but Yama Luo is not worried about handing over the bone ring to others, so he is looking for Leng Yue's human host, and this matter must be done by himself.
