Chapter 41: Jin Yu 2
Chapter 41 Jin Yu 2
"I haven't hurt anyone." Jin Yu wiped his tears and said, "Why are you holding me and not letting go?" I just wanted to test you. Even if I succeed, what can I do to you? You know that my telepathic abilities are not that strong. ”
The bone handle knife was tossed around in Du Zhengyi's hand, Jin Yu avoided her gaze, she knew what Du Zhengyi meant. "I didn't mean to."
"Didn't you mean to kill me?" Du Zheng laughed out loud, as if he had heard a funny joke, "If I was a little worse and unfortunately couldn't dodge and was killed by you with a knife, you probably really thought the same thing about my corpse, right?" ”
"You're so powerful, I know, I can feel it." She said, barely daring to look at the knife now. The legendary blood-quenched knife was said to be a symbol of honor, and she was not interested in honor, but she liked the feeling when she said it, as if everything was meaningful, as if the goal she was pursuing was worth it, as if she was a strong person. But she knew that she was a weakling, and when she faced a powerful force like Du Zhengyi, she was innocent. There was nothing she could do to hurt her, so what could she be wrong about?
"I can't hurt you at all!" She spoke, and there was a righteous accusation in her voice.
"What does that have to do with whether you can hurt me or not?" Du Zhengyi said softly, his voice was very soft. He was a little tired and a little bored, "Everyone can live their lives well, you can already live better than your parents." Isn't it good that even your parents, living in a human society, are prettier, stronger, more agile, and live longer than most humans? You have voluntarily chosen to join the Lotus Burner, and you are willing to take up the Bone Knife to kill humans and eradicate dissidents. You went through the ritual so you could get the bone-handled knife, didn't you? Has anyone persecuted you? Of course no one, you're still so crazy to carry this kind of thing with you. ”
Jin Yu trembled even more, her eyes rolled almost wildly, "I want to ...... with this knife"
"It's because you want to be a little more aggressive and make them appreciate you more." Du Zhengyi finished the words she couldn't say for her, "Did you also stab someone with this knife during the sacrificial ceremony?" ”
"I ......" Jin Yu is a beautiful girl, small and cute, but her face is now full of tears, her eyes are shining abnormally, her eyes are almost rolling wildly, and she looks like a madman.
Guan Xinyue had been listening to the side, but she didn't choose to sit down because she was nervous, and the madness on Jin Yu's face scared her. Frightened, she involuntarily took two steps back and leaned against the lectern behind her.
"I didn't stab her in the spot." Jin Yu cried and screamed, as if she had suppressed an unjust ghost in her heart, and now that unjust ghost came back to life and began to pursue her life. Suddenly, she became angry again, and glared at Du Zhengyi in annoyance, "Why do you know so much?" In such a secret meeting of the Lotus Burner, no outsider knows the process of sacrifice! ”
But her hysterical anger didn't last long, she couldn't stop yelling, this breath was released, she cried again, desperately begging Du Zhengyi to let her go. "I didn't kill her! She was going to die, and she was going to die when I stabbed her! Her eyes are blind, her brain is finished, she doesn't even know the pain! I didn't kill her! ”
Guan Xinyue raised her hand and covered her mouth.
Du Zhengyi raised his eyes suddenly, his originally uninterested and casual face suddenly changed, and he stared at Jin Yu tightly. His voice was still calm, but full of oppression, "Make it clear whose eyes are going to be blind and who is going to blind his eyes." ”
Jin Yu no longer had the ability to distinguish the enemy's expression and intentions, and subconsciously replied, "It's a woman, I don't know who she is, she was about to die at that time." It was the Sage Mage who pierced her eyes, he was the Venerable of the Lotus Burners, and I don't know why he did this! She couldn't help but cry again, and there was no more intention to bluff, and she said incoherently in the middle of her crying, "I don't know why they did that!" She has steel nails in her eye sockets! Why didn't they just kill her! I don't have a choice, if I don't make it through the Loyalty Trial, they'll kill me. After she died, a cake shop membership card fell out of the pocket of her clothes when she was moved, and I will never forget that scene again. ”
"Don't cry anymore, you have the guts to lie to the Lotus Burner, and you have the guts to complete that bullshit trial, why are you scared like this now?"
She shook her head helplessly and covered her face with her hands, "I don't know, I don't know!" ”
For five minutes, Du Zhengyi didn't say anything, and during this five-minute break, she gradually calmed down from her hysterical state, and she was also tired of crying, she covered her chest and eased her breathing, calming down.
"I'll ask you one more question, and if you answer me truthfully, I'll probably let you go." Du Zhengyi said.
She looked up at him in surprise, unable to believe if what he said was true, but she was adventurous by nature, and she was willing to move on. She adjusted her breathing for a moment, nodded and said, "You ask." ”
"What did you do to Roach?" Du Zhengyi asked.
"Who?" She was stunned for a moment, Du Zhengyi didn't answer her, she hurriedly searched carefully in her memory, but still couldn't find the name. "I swear, I've only hurt one person, I've done nothing to anyone else, it's just a big deal to make them like me, is that hurt?"
"Roach." Du Zhengyi said, "The last time I came here, the boy who came with me looked younger than me. ”
Jin Yu's expression was a little strange, "He? ”
"What's wrong?"
"How could I touch him," Jin Yu said in disgust, "he's a weirdo!" I'm definitely just going to avoid him and I won't do anything to him at all! ”
Du Zhengyi was taken aback, and even subconsciously glanced at Guan Xinyue, as if he wanted to ask if Luo Qi was really that annoying from a female perspective.
Guan Xinyue shook her head smartly, fully understanding what Du Zhengyi meant, "I don't really think he hates him, he's a very funny person, a good person." ”
"Of course she doesn't understand, she's a dull human." Jin Yu said bitterly behind the desk, "That person, his name is Luo Qi, he makes me uncomfortable." ”
"You're not the first telepathic to come into contact with him, no one feels uncomfortable with him, and some people don't feel him at all." Du Zhengyi said.
"Isn't it a problem that not a telepathic can sense him?" Jin Yu asked-for-tat.
Du Zheng was stunned for a moment, "He is a little special in this regard." ”
Jin Yu shook his head, "You don't understand, even if you are a strong mage with a super strong psychic shield, I can at least sense your existence." But Roach, he's like a hollow man. You have to believe me, I'm not much of a master of ideas, but I have a lot of special talents, and sensing danger is one of my talents. Roach made me feel dangerous, and although I couldn't say what he was dangerous, I would never touch him at any time, I just wanted to stay away from him. ”
Although Du Zhengyi couldn't understand this empty word like fortune-telling, he believed that what she said was indeed her true thoughts, and all her micro-expressions and all physical signs showed the same meaning without contradiction.
He was lost in thought, and after a while, asked, "Was that the first time you saw him that day?" ”
"And the only time I've seen him." Jin Yu said.
Du Zhengyi was silent again, and Guan Xinyue couldn't help but say, "If what she said is true, then ...... That had nothing to do with Roach, at least not Roach's doing. I have long said that he is innocent. ”
"I'm telling the truth." Jin Yu hurriedly said, "I don't have to lie. ”
"You have two choices now," Du Zhengyi said, "to be handed over to Qionglin as a Lotus Burner, or, I will give you to the Lotus Burner and tell them that you lied." ”
Jin Yu's face became extremely ugly in an instant, her voice was already hoarse, and she screamed in pain in a piercing voice, "Don't you know that the two of them are the same thing now?" No matter where you send me, the Lotus Burner will kill me!" ”
"Who in the Qionglin is the same thing as the Lotus Burner?" Du Zhengyi leaned forward with interest, "It's clear." ”
Jin Yu hesitated for a moment, but her expression instantly softened. Du Zhengyi could see clearly that she didn't care about loyalty to the Lotus Burner, and she didn't have any motives worth sticking to, what she wanted was to move with the situation, but when she spit out that name, his heart still shook.
"Li Xu."
He had already guessed the name, but it was still uncomfortable to hear it with his own ears now. He has been in a mess these days, and he hasn't thought things so clearly. He had been wondering how Li Xu had found out that they had entered the matter, and he had been wondering where the outpost was. Now everything is clear, as early as the first day they set foot here, Li Xu has been reported.
Li Xu is a lotus burner, and Zhao Zhiyan may also be, Luo Qi has already found out, and he has already hinted at him. But he didn't care, he didn't know how Roach found out, he just took it for granted that Roach's situation caused him to be too sensitive to discrimination. Now that I think about it, maybe it was because Roach was sensitive to discrimination that he was able to spot the Lotus Burner earlier.
"Who else?" He asked.
"I only know Li Xu, I only contact him, he has the final say in everything, everyone calls him Sage Mage." Jin Yu said, "I'm just a mage who is just high enough to participate in the operation, and the newcomers who participated in the ritual with me, we don't know each other, but judging from their age, they won't hold important positions anywhere. ”
Du Zhengyi asked her some other questions, but she really couldn't answer them anymore.
He silently sorted out the information he had gotten, and it seemed that everything had started since they stepped into the teahouse. Li Xu has been paying attention to everything here, perhaps because of his position in the Supreme Committee, or perhaps because of his status as a Lotus Burner. They had an accident that night and quickly left the village, and the spatial movement was untraceable, but Li Xu was able to meet Ma Jiang and Luo Qi in the tavern. If everything really has nothing to do with Luo Qi, then it means that Li Xu was collecting information about himself and Ma Jiang earlier, and guessed his whereabouts. Perhaps it would be more reasonable to say that he had been collecting information about Archmage Pei Shu early in the morning and knew the information of several of his students inside out.
But why did Li Xu torture and kill Qi Yue, because she killed the mage and committed the taboo of the Lotus Burner? However, it is impossible to complete the destruction of an archmage family with one human being. This is back to the original point, Qi Yue can only be a puppet, there is a mastermind behind her, if the mastermind is Li Xu, it is to kill people and kill people.
But Du Zhengyi's heart suddenly moved, and the word puppet flashed back again, and he suddenly thought of the true meaning of the word puppet in the magic world, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his spine. If Li Xu wants to interrogate Qi Yue, if Li Xu wants to force a puppet to break free from the shackles, regardless of the consequences, even if the puppet is destroyed to the edge of life and death......
But Li Xu still hasn't found the shadow behind it, he has been tracking, he let Guan Xinyue toss, monitoring everything here. He must have been overjoyed until he and Roach showed up, and Li Xu cast a suspicious eye on them, he might have been just dealing with a strange murder case on business. As a result, Pei Shu and his disciples crashed in, and he immediately understood that there was more involved, a bigger game.
He made a quick move and set his sights on the strangest of Roaches. Du Zhengyi initially thought that Luo Qi was just a smoke bomb, and Li Xu probably thought so too, until Luo Qi dug up Qi Yue's body.
For Du Zhengyi, he was actually more surprised than Li Xu, that Rocky groundhog not only dug a pit, but he also predicted almost accurately what would be in the pit. For him and Luo Qi, the key node of everything is actually the teahouse, not the old mansion of the Guan family, and Luo Qi's "Apocalypse" may be obtained here. With this apocalypse is the frivolous fool in front of her, who messes everything up in search of a little boring superiority.
Jin Yu stopped crying now, but was frightened by his calculating gaze and became even more anxious, and reflexively began to pick his nails.
Roach got the apocalypse from her. He groaned.
"Hmm-" There was a strange sound around him, and Guan Xinyue saw that he was attracted to attention, and immediately swallowed nervously. "May I ask, what is a curtain burner? Are you so dissatisfied with human decorating taste? ”
