Chapter 304

Her consciousness finally broke off, and Du Zhengyi exhaled deeply, hurriedly checking Luo Qi's body, his face looking already blue. He reached under Roach's nose and didn't feel his breath.

"What's going on?" He looked back into the shadows deep in the cavern.

A black figure stepped out of the shadows, and he paced slowly with a cane.

"Hurry up. He was no longer breathing. Du Zhengyi said in a low and hurried voice.

"I didn't do it." Clownfish procrastinated, hatefully, and said slowly, "I haven't made a move yet." ”

Du Zhengyi instantly turned from disgust to joy, he understood the meaning of the clownfish, as if he saw a glimmer of life.

"Now her superficial consciousness is interrupted and she is moved to deep consciousness, and then her breathing problems will be repaired naturally." Clownfish said, he had walked to Du Zhengyi's side, looking at Luo Qi who he was supporting.

Luo Qi let out a sound that seemed to be snoring in sleep at this moment, and Du Zheng turned his head to stare at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his breathing recover.

"So Roach's consciousness is still inside?" Du Zhengyi said with relief.

"Does your injury matter?" The clownfish ignored Du Zhengyi's question, his eyes fixed on Luo Qi, and asked in a flat tone.

"I'm fine." He said hastily, looking up at his vague outline, "Do you have a way to extract the old mage's consciousness?" Or help Roach suppress her? ”

The clownfish stood in the light, and it was still as if it were standing in the shadows, as if it was watching everything in the world from beyond the clouds.

Du Zhengyi knew that this was very strange, and he prayed for help here, and the object of help turned out to be this person. This one recurred in his nightmares, tormenting him and would continue to torture him until he died.

If it weren't for the imminent death of those who were nearest, who would have offered sacrifices to death?

"You've had a good fight." Clownfish said, in a soft tone, like lazy chit-chatter, "There are many mages who never dream of fighting the Ancestral Mage. Not only did you fight this head-on, but you fought it so beautifully. ”

"I'm not alone," Du Zhengyi said in a low voice, "Luo Qi is also here, we did it together, and he helped me." ”

The clownfish seemed to be lowering its head and did not look at Du Zhengyi. The weight of his body rested on his cane, swaying slightly on the other side, as if it was very leisurely, but also as if it was hesitant.

"That guy named Iva could wake up at any moment." Du Zhengyi reminded him.

"I closed off her consciousness, she can't use magic, her consciousness can only stay in her head like a human." "I only had a chance to do that if she was unconscious, I couldn't help you before." ”

"I don't need your help that much." Du Zhengyi said, holding one of his hands on his stomach while performing first aid magic on himself. He had lost a little bit of blood, but it didn't matter. "Do you want to make another offer?"

"We agreed that as long as I rescued Roach, I could take away the memories of the Ancestral Mage that a high-energy crystal could contain." Clownfish said.

Du Zhengyi waited for him to sit on the ground and raise the price.

Clownfish continued, "I am an honest and trustworthy man, and I owe you something. ”

Du Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was doing. "I vaguely feel like I've mistaken you, you're not a person who sits on the ground and starts bidding?"

Clownfish didn't answer him, as if he didn't care that much about the business. Clownfish turned to say, "Roach's presence in your life doesn't change anything. You will still die early, and you will still have to be a cow and a horse for Qionglin, and your life will not change. So, can you assume that he didn't show up at all? Anyway, it won't be long before your life comes to an end, and you won't be able to see him when you close your eyes. ”

Du Zhengyi's optimism cooled down, he felt ominous, he actually felt a kind of sincerity from the clownfish, although he didn't even fully reveal his body. This kind of sincerity will only easily appear when you really fall into the top of the bad luck, and even your enemies can't hold back their sincere sympathy for you.

"The point of a person's appearance is not that I can get any actual benefits." Du Zhengyi whispered.

"So long ago," said the clownfish, pausing for a moment before he continued, "I read in a book that if a man can only stay in your life for a short time, when he leaves, if you count the total amount of life and feel that it has increased, it is better to encounter it than not to meet it." ”

Du Zhengyi did not speak.

"I've looked at his own consciousness that remains in Roach's body, it's very thin, just a fragment of a fragment, like a needle driven by Roach into the depths of the world of consciousness. I think Roach had already fought the Ancestral Mage before you, and he probably realized that he was going to lose after the battle began, so he spent his energy hiding a wisp of consciousness. It's a pity that this consciousness is far from enough to constitute a person, it is just a simple brain circuit, and only so simple can it escape the consciousness of the ancestor mage. I think this consciousness is a simple shutdown mechanism, and the trigger is your death, and when this wisp realizes that you are going to be killed completely, it activates the command to shut down the physiological system, cutting off his own body's breath. I think the coma may have been the choice of the Ancestor Mage herself, she is an old mage with tens of thousands of years of experience, and she must have realized from experience that the next physiological change would be cardiac arrest. I don't know how to say it, but if I judged Roach as a warrior who never dies, and even takes revenge on the enemy after death, will it make you feel better? Clownfish said.

Du Zhengyi still didn't speak, just like he didn't understand the clownfish's words.

But the clownfish knew how smart the person in front of him was, and he didn't have a single superfluous word, not a wordy request, which meant that he understood and thought very clearly.

"So our deal, very sadly, ended. Since I didn't bring Roach back, I won't take the memories of the Ancestral Mage with me. Clownfish said. He hesitated, as if he didn't know if it was time to leave, and when this moment was over, they would be enemies again.

"No, the trade will continue." Du Zhengyi suddenly said, "Take everything you want, but kill her and take her out of Roach's body." ”

The clownfish was taken aback, and he thought about it for a few seconds, "Won't you regret it?" ”

"Nope." Du Zhengyi said, "I'm just a lonely mountain guard, I don't guard things outside the lonely mountain, and entanglements can't restrain me to deal with this matter." ”

"Okay." The clownfish said, "Let you feel better, what I want is a magic weapon in the lonely mountain, and it will be useful to get the memory of the old witch, but it is not what I want the most." ”

Du Zhengyi shook his head and did not speak.

Roach let go of his hand when his eyes opened, leaving "Roach" and letting him sit up on his own.

She woke up, looked at Du Zhengyi, and then at the clownfish. "Is that you? Who are you? ”

"That's none of your business." The clownfish said that he had the poise and grace of a doctor. However, what he had to do was indeed similar to surgery, he wanted to remove her consciousness from her body, which really needed to be prepared slowly.

She looked back and forth at the two men, gauged the situation, and turned to Clownfish. "To put it simply, I know many secrets, and the secrets of Genesis are powers that you simply cannot imagine. I will go with you willingly, and you can keep your bondage to me. As long as I can live, I don't mind helping you. Is the Lotus Burner? This in itself is also to my liking, I am the creator of the mage, and I am your Lord God. ”

"Is the Lord God wagging his tail at me, a mortal, begging for mercy?" Clownfish laughed, "It's a great sense of accomplishment, but you're not really an Ancestral Mage. I see, you're just a first-order copy of her. Your original has been dismantled by the gods, and you have been hidden by your followers as the closest copy of the Lord God. ”

She looked a little in awe of the clownfish, "Who are you?" ”

"God is not interested in knowing the names and surnames of mortals." He said with some sarcasm. "But I'm still a little curious, why did Roach come to your hole?"

She seized the opportunity to talk, and at any rate, she wanted to seize the opportunity to speak, "His companion saw in the Jonlin the classical poetry that had just been translated, and the poetry was my clue to my followers that my followers had left behind. Poetry is a puzzle, and that companion of Roach is a very clever man who saw the poem and deciphered the puzzle. He thought it was an opportunity, but he didn't know what the treasure of the poem's guidance was, and he took it for granted. The poem is a guideline, but at the same time a trap, and the puzzle suggests that only a true mind-runner can see where the treasure lies. My followers want to use this puzzle to inspire a greedy mindset to go in search of treasure. Roach's companion was the greedy man, but he tricked a Mind Master into going with him. When she said this, she couldn't help but defend herself, and at the same time did not forget to use this opportunity to attack Du Zhengyi. She looked at Du Zhengyi and said, "But Luo Qi is not really innocent. He deliberately bypassed you, seizing the opportunity to be without you, wanting to peek into the secrets of the ancients. He's certainly greedy, too, though his greedy goal is to find a way to keep you alive. ”

Du Zhengyi's face did not change, as if he was ready to withstand this blow.

"Nothing more than that." Clownfish said on the side, "Neither Roach nor that kid is anything wrong. As human beings, we will always pursue what we want most. ”

"What about you? What are you after? "Although my spirit is bound, I can feel that you are also looking for something, and your desire is greater than theirs." I'm sure I can help, there's no doubt about it. Roach definitely won't come back, and if you can take me away, I'll show you the magic of Genesis, and I don't believe you're not interested in that. I will teach you magic that no one in this world can ever dream of, and I will help you open any door and dig any hole in this world. Those who stand in the way of your access to the secrets of the Lonely Mountain will no longer be able to hinder you, and you will fulfill your deepest dreams. ”

Du Zhengyi suddenly turned his head to look at the clownfish, and he realized that he might have made a mistake. But he couldn't kill Roach with his own hands, even if it was just Roach's body, he couldn't crush his friend's throat to make him die. The clownfish could have switched to her terms, believing she wasn't exactly bluffing, at least it was too big.

He saw the clownfish be silent for seven seconds, like a century, and the clownfish opened his mouth to thank him, "Thank you for being so sweet." ”

Du Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this time it's okay." Clownfish continued, "I'll have a way myself sooner or later. ”

She looked at him, "Really? Without my subjective consciousness, even if I were given all my memories, then for a creature like you with rudimentary cognitive abilities, my secret art would be like a book from heaven, and you would not be able to understand it at all. ”

"Ah, thank you again for your thoughtfulness, darling." The clownfish crouched down in front of her and said perfunctorily, "Were you n before?" ”

"Do you want to see," she asked, her eyes staring at the clownfish darkly, trying to see through his disguise.

Before she could finish her sentence, Clownfish's words were just a distraction, and his hands slammed to the sides of her skull, and she screamed in tears.

"Help me hold her down!" Clownfish commanded.

Du Zhengyi grabbed her arms with agility and strangled her tightly.

She screamed, desperately resisting in pain, but the clownfish prevailed. Her screams turned into screams, and suddenly, her tone changed, becoming more like Roach. She cried to Du Zhengyi, "Brother, save me, brother, don't believe him, it's me, I'm still here, brother, save me"

Du Zheng was caught off guard, trembled, and pressed his hand a little unsteadily.

"Du Zhengyi!" The clownfish yelled, "Ignore this thing! ”

He grabbed Roach's arm, Roach's body trembled in his hands with severe pain, and Roach's voice was crying out in a miserable voice, calling for his life.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and stared at the clownfish fixedly, her pupils dilated and her focus could not be aligned, so she must not be looking at the clownfish with her eyes. She screamed, "It's you"

Then her consciousness was completely cut off, and all her subjective consciousness was dispelled, leaving only the discrete memories contained by the clownfish into the high-energy crystals she carried. Roach's pupils became blank, and he closed his eyes and softened. Du Zhengyi let go of the hand that was forcibly holding him, but caught his body and felt that his clothes were already soaked with sweat. He must have gone through a brutal torture just now, and although it wasn't him, everything looked like it was him.

Du Zhengyi put his arms around him, letting his head hang over his shoulders, like a friend's last hug after a long absence.

The clownfish stood up and slipped the crystal back into the pocket of her clothes. "His soul is long gone."

"He's still breathing." Du Zhengyi whispered, as if he was confused. But what puzzled was not that Roach had become a living body.

Clownfish he wanted to leave, but when he heard the words, he stood still, as if he was listening to something. He listened for a moment and said, "Are you crying?" ”

Du Zheng was stunned for a moment, his face was dry, and he had never cried bitterly. "I didn't."

"Oh." The clownfish said, "You just didn't shed a tear." ”

Clownfish waited again, and continued, "I met him on the black market, a fragment of his soul replica, and he scattered that thing all over the place. Although he learned from me, you should have taken care of him, but it doesn't matter now. If you feel too lonely, you can find a few, his fragments are very humorous and funny, you can chat with him. ”

Du Zhengyi still didn't answer him.

"But I don't think you're going to do such a boring thing." Clownfish admitted to herself, and after a moment she continued, "Well, I know you're going to be uncomfortable, but I didn't expect you to be in such pain. If you were such a person, how did you endure your previous life? What are you going to do next? You can't keep him in a vegetative state, and you can't end his physiology, or you'll put him here, right? Anyway, the sandbox is yours, he'll use ice and snow as a mausoleum, and there's a giant monster with a stupid head and brain, he'll find it fun. ”

"Thank you for all this." Du Zhengyi finally said, he let go of Luo Qi, and then hugged him again. "Thank you, I'm getting out of here, I have to take him back and hand him over to his parents, and it's up to them to decide."

"Okay." The clownfish said, "So are we even?" ”

"We're even." Du Zhengyi said lightly.

The clownfish nodded, reached out to greet him, and then turned and walked out of the cave, disappearing into the snow.

Du Zheng looked at Luo Qi's face for a while, and finally walked out. Outside the cave was a white, icy place, covered with snow and ice, and the peaks were silent in the distance, just as he had seen when he first came here many years ago. It's as if nothing has happened since then. 11
