CHAPTER XXII

Roach didn't know when he fell asleep, but a skillful magical force lifted him up and placed him on the bed.

"Amazing." He muttered vaguely, "If I were to fill a glass of beer, I wouldn't have spilled a drop." ”

He heard Du Zhengyi's low laughter, and when the door rang, he was already half-asleep, and knew that it was Du Zhengyi who walked out.

He rolled over and fell into a deeper sleep. For a while, he just fell asleep comfortably, and after a while, he heard someone singing, like a girl's voice, he wanted to ask if Guan Xinyue was back, but his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't lift them, so he fell asleep again, this time he was half asleep.

He felt someone walk in and sit down beside him, his footsteps were too heavy, so it wasn't actually Guan Xinyue, nor was it Du Zhengyi's familiar feeling. The man picked up a book beside him, announced to himself that he would read it to him, and began to talk about Grimm's fairy tales, but they were darker than the other. He vaguely remembered that it was the original version of Grimm's fairy tales.

He moaned in his dreams, hoping that the man would get out of here, but the man's voice stubbornly recited, and finally the story turned into a broken prose poem.

"And God said, Ye are brothers.

Erinka Says: ...... as well as sisters.

God said, "Well, then like the fruit of a tree, you are of the same origin, and your roots are sucking the water of the same river." One of you is born in the sun-facing treetops, and the other is shy in the shade of the branches and leaves, but just as luscious.

Erinka sat high in a tree, the sun kissing her forehead and the wind carrying away beads of sweat from the tip of her nose.

God said, "Seventy thousand years ago you awakened and broke away from your kind." It's a pity that your numbers are not large enough, an unsuccessful species...... Eventually, it will decline.

She stood up, holding on to the trunk of the tree, looking out into the field.

Erinka said, "Accept our sacrifices, the bells will ring in the thirty-three temples, and we will worship the spears of our enemies, and we will chant in unison for three thousand three million days and nights, and the vermilion paper kites will fly across the river of the Netherworld, and the lamplighters will be led on the river, and the ferrymen will have long since returned. ”

Consciousness continued to rise and fall, and the voice of chanting was fragmented.

He had a headache, suddenly remembered who the man was talking to, and opened his eyes suddenly, and in the dark room, the man stood by the bed and looked at him sadly.

He shuddered, "Am I already dead?" ”

The man shook his head mournfully, his expression compassionate, like that of a monk. "I killed him, I had to kill him, I couldn't help it."

"Who did you kill?" Roach gasped and asked, but when he blurted out the question, he vaguely felt that he knew the answer, and his head suddenly hurt and was about to crack. He painfully forced himself to start thinking, but in fact, he didn't have to think about it at all, the answer was obvious, "You killed Du Zhengyi?" Why? ”

He struggled desperately to see Li Xu more clearly in the dark. The man looked back at him incomprehensibly, his black eyes like an abyss.

"What?" Roach briefly thought that he was talking nonsense, his chest cramping, and then he realized that it wasn't pain, it was anger and grief that were violently tangled.

Something is wrong...... He muttered as a loud bang shattered his world, and he snapped open his eyes, the wound in his chest that had been caused by the violent gasping began to ache again.

He vaguely saw a shadow deftly glide in front of him, and the curtain was slammed open.

Then the light seemed to explode into the room, and he covered his eyes and screamed in pain. The mattress heaved beneath him, and someone jumped on his bed.

"Roach!" It was the mischievous screams of the girls that pricked his eardrums clearly, no longer the blur of a nightmare.

Roach came to his senses and cried out in annoyance, "Why are you back again?" Didn't I say that if there is progress, I will notify you on WeChat? ”

There was silence for a minute, and a hand stroked his forehead.

"What's wrong with you?" Guan Xinyue lowered her voice, "Why is your face so ugly?" ”

She sniffed the air like a puppy, "The smell of the hospital." You're hurt? ”

Roach remembered that she was a doctor's daughter, and he took away his hand that was blocking his eyes, and a large expanse of sunlight fell on his face, and the gloomy dream disappeared. It was as if there were two worlds switching in front of him, and he was like a computer that couldn't keep up, stuck in a rotating loading screen. Although the violent emotions are gone, there is still a shadow.

He opened his eyes wide, breathed softly, and stared motionlessly at the dust dancing in the sun, the clearer this bright world became, the darker the world in the dream became, and he knew that in a few moments the details of the dream would disappear.

"Have you met Du Zhengyi?" Luo Qi tried to focus on Guan Xinyue's face, she combed her hair into a ponytail today, and her face seemed to be much better than the previous day, and she might finally be able to sleep.

She shook her head, "I received a WeChat message from him in the morning - from your phone. Let me buy you this! ”

She turned around and grabbed a shopping bag from the ground and showed him what it was presumably containing clothes.

Roach sat up from the bed and steadied.

Guan Xinyue curiously and disgustedly tugged at the frog sewn on his pocket, "Where did you buy these pajamas?" ”

Luo Qi ignored her, "I'll go find Du Zhengyi, his side should be finished." What time is it now? ”

It was already half past eleven.

Luo Qi became anxious, if the temple hadn't given a new task to catch the mad dog, then Du Zhengyi should also come back, he had nowhere to go here. If he had completed the task by himself, then it shouldn't have been so quiet outside now, and it should have been a long time ago.

Sitting up made him feel a little sick, and he insisted on getting out of bed and walking dizzily to wash up. Guan Xinyue had been observing him and followed him to the door of the bathroom, "Could it be that you were bitten by a mad dog?" ”

Luo Qi closed the bathroom door in front of her, his combat effectiveness was a little reduced today, and he didn't have the strength to talk back.

Guan Xinyue knocked on the door, "I'm serious!" Did you go to the CDC for a vaccine? ”

Luo Qi slapped the cold water in his face, trying his best to ignore Guan Xinyue, he didn't believe that Guan Xinyue was seriously making suggestions, she had been trying her best to provoke him. Before he finished washing his face, Guan Xinyue suddenly shouted again, "Ah, the boss is back!" ”

He hurriedly turned off the faucet, hurriedly wiped it and ran out. Du Zhengyi's shadow shook into the corridor at this time, Guan Xinyue followed him briskly, she hadn't seen her for two days, and she was no longer as afraid of Du Zhengyi as she was at the beginning.

Before he could completely dispel that ominous dream, he realized that Du Zhengyi's current face was really stinky.

"What's wrong?" He blurted out, his nerves tensed again, and his eyes couldn't help but spin up and down on Du Zhengyi.

Du Zhengyi probably saw his thoughts, and his face changed suddenly. Roach had already begun to get acquainted with him, knowing that genius basically only had two modes of operation, "the wise silent machine - the impatient second kicker", and his neurotic concern must have been regarded as a major insult to genius. The genius may have just been a little uncomfortable this morning, and he unsightly triggered the critical condition for the explosion of this genius's "second kick".

Luo Qi is not a brave person, so he subconsciously took a step back, for fear that Du Zhengyi would lose his temper with him now and scold him for a bloody squirt.

However, his frightened look also reminded Du Zhengyi, who had opened his mouth and closed it gently, and when he opened his mouth again, his anger dropped a lot, "Someone killed all the dogs." ”

"What?" Luo Qi exclaimed in shock, and Yu Guang also gasped when he saw Guan Xinyue.

Guan Xinyue's face became very ugly, "They can't have already eaten your dog, right?" ”

Luo Qi looked at Guan Xinyue in astonishment, judging from her expression that was about to vomit, she must be serious. He felt that her speculation might be somewhat substantiated, after all, she must know more about the people here. "Can this villager deal with psychic beasts?"

Du Zhengyi looked at Luo Qi's expression and was simply distressed, "She doesn't understand the situation, are you really stupid?" ”

Roach came back to his senses and finally got on track, and the creepy energy of the dream returned. "Are there other mages here?"

Du Zheng nodded.
