"I'm sure you can't find a chance for me to reap the benefits, no matter how much you think about it. We work together without violating your duty as a guardian of the Lonely Mountain. If you want to ask me about my purpose, I will tell you sincerely, because I am the most hated Sealing Beast in the world. But I think you've never cared about other people's goals, and you don't care who your enemies are and who your friends are. ”

For a moment, time suddenly eased, as if it had lost its original flow rate. Even if he couldn't see the true face of the clownfish, Du Zhengyi still felt the clownfish's faint ridicule of him, as if the overall situation was in his control, as if he knew the secret of time, he couldn't help but mock Du Zhengyi, himself, and the entire magic world. Du Zhengyi's thinking and everything Du Zhengyi worked hard for were nothingness in his eyes, and perhaps even the entire magic world was nothing.

He urged Du Zhengyi with ease, and he was as calm as he was about the direction of things.

Du Zhengyi wants to get rid of this invisible control, he has been bound to a macroscopic cause and effect all his life, but in the microcosmic concrete life, he never likes to be controlled. Just as the clownfish spoke again inducingly, he turned to look at the vague figure, "What is the reason why you can't show your true face?" It's just me and you here, do I know you? ”

The figure shook slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Du Zhengyi interrupted him again, "Why do you hate the Sealing Beast?" ”

The clownfish still didn't answer, and Du Zhengyi seemed to be able to see his thoughts running fast in his head, deducing what kind of reaction Du Zhengyi would derive after several of his responses. He knows himself, there's no doubt about it. Maybe the Master of Mind knows everything, maybe he ...... is to know himself very well, anyway, as long as he is allowed to speak, he will still lead himself in an illusory circle.

Du Zhengyi wants to make everything fall to the ground.

"Why did the Seal Beast kill your wife?"

He skipped one question and went straight to the next question, and the clownfish who was thinking too much didn't have time to keep up with his question, and the answer became correct by default.

Du Zheng faced the clownfish and looked him in the eyes in the blurred shadows, "She is a human who is difficult to protect herself, you didn't protect her?" ”

The clownfish looked at Du Zhengyi quietly, as if he had lost all desire to speak, and the soul of the gloomy and painful man they had met several times had returned.

"Who released the Sealing Beast?" Du Zhengyi asked suddenly.

The clownfish breathed softly, and he looked at Du Zhengyi without hindrance, "It's a mage." ”

"So you hate all the mages?" Du Zhengyi said, he was angry for a moment, but suddenly he hesitated again, "Is it because I didn't finish the job?" Is it because I never had a chance to do it, or ...... I didn't have time to finish ......"

"It has nothing to do with you." The clownfish suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and said in general.

"But if you ...... Why don't you go to her? ”

"Because one cannot step into the same river twice." The clownfish said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Du Zhengyi asked, "Don't be a riddler. ”

"How could she fall in love with a middle-aged man who has been through vicissitudes? She doesn't belong to me now, and my real wife is long gone. Clownfish whispered.

Du Zhengyi was silent for a while, pressing all the chaotic emotions back to the origin of the emotional coordinates. "I don't know how you found your way here, and I don't want to know what I shouldn't know. I just want to know what exactly you really want right now? Not to get your lost lover back? Don't tell me that you're here to eradicate all the Seal Beasts and protect her in advance. ”

Clownfish laughed, "Can't I be a good person, only this kind goal?" ”

"Who killed her with the Seal Beast?" Du Zhengyi asked again.

"No one." Clownfish lowered her head and shook her head again, "No one specifically wants to kill her, she's just an ordinary woman, and she doesn't do anyone harm." Oh, your expression, no, not the girl you guessed, you haven't seen her, she's a complete outsider. ”

After hesitating for a moment, the clownfish suddenly began to speak, "She is a human who paints, very spiritual, almost like a half-mind mage. What was going on in my heart, she seemed to know with just her eyes, and it was really ...... Wonderful feeling. She was very kind, I fell because my legs and feet were not very good, she came to help me, I invited her to drink a cup of milk tea, and we met like this. ”

"You fell on purpose, didn't you?" Du Zhengyi asked suddenly.

Clownfish laughed, and then the smile faded again, "I was so lonely, and she just appeared in my life like the only light. ”

"Condolences." After a while, Du Zhengyi said.

The clownfish smiled.

"Have you ever been, she may be because of ......" Du Zhengyi did not continue.

"Did you ever think she died because of me? No, not targeted assassinations. Because it was a massacre, and so many people died, not just her. Clownfish said.

"It's the Lotus Burner." Du Zhengyi suddenly understood, but suddenly he didn't understand, "Your wife was killed by the Lotus Burner, and now you are mixed with the Lotus Burner?" ”

The clownfish stared at Du Zhengyi deadly, "Have you ever thought about the scene of the sealed lands being opened at the same time?" The world is a hell! She was torn apart, eaten, and her entrails ripped everywhere...... It was late when I rushed home. It was the mage who created the seal, and it was the mage who was in charge of the seal, and as for which mages directly created the hell, does it make any difference? All mages deserve to die. ”

"I'm sorry." Du Zhengyi said in a low voice.

"Why are you telling me I'm sorry? You're dying, I did it, have you forgotten? All mages deserve to die, but not you. ”

"My duty is to find the sealed places and close them one by one." Du Zhengyi said.

"Oh." Clownfish laughed, "I'm talking about Du's duties." But do you really not know where the Sealed Lands are? I mean, even if you don't know the exact location of all the Sealed Lands, you still know a large part of it. It's been thousands of years, why hasn't your family finished closing the Sealed Land? Why? Because the Venerable Ones have never been able to agree, because the mages have always been afraid that humans will fight back, and they always want to hold convenient weapons in their hands, the mages are getting weaker and weaker day by day, but they can't accept this reality. Because you were so scared, they even wiped you out. ”

"It was the plague that hit my family hard." Du Zhengyi said. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the smell of disappointment unconsciously push in the direction of the clownfish, and an indescribable bitterness and suffocation spread across his chest.

"Du Zhengyi, you ...... You only focus on what you can do, and you don't put what you can't do into your heart. You're the most responsible person in the world, but you never worry about things you can't be responsible for. Clownfish said.

"How can a man do what he can't?"

"You can do things with magic that you can't do on your own." "But you can't, because you can, so you're bound and can't." ”

"Ouroboros." Du Zheng said coldly.

The clownfish looked at him in silence.

"Ouroboros is your emblem, right? Roach...... I was told about the meaning of the Ouroboros, when we first discovered the emblem. The Lotus Burner doesn't use this symbol, so at that time I was thinking that there seemed to be a third force in the wizarding world besides Qionglin and the Lotus Burner. You're supposed to be the creator of the Ouroboros, and your people are infiltrating the Lotus Burner and the Qionglin, right? Speaking of Ouroboros, I may be in the Ouroboros' self-circulation, or in the Möbius Ring, I don't know, I'm not sure. But are you there too? Du Zhengyi said.

"Du Zhengyi, when did you find out about me......" Clownfish asked halfway, and the second half of the words seemed to be burning his tongue.

"You've told a lot of lies, true and false, more false and less true, and I don't believe too much. I've always been very concerned about why, when I stepped into the courtyard of the Guan family and fell into illusion, I saw the Roach of tomorrow. I asked you, and you replied that it was because I was concerned and hallucinated. But the Roach in the hallucinations was too profound, and with the level of knowledge I knew about him at the time, I should not have seen in my hallucinations a Roach who was so real and full of real personality. I've always been concerned about this, until recently Rocky started to copy a part of his consciousness, like a fragment of his soul, and he didn't care about giving a copy of his soul to a girl as an amulet. At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that I had already encountered a copy of Roach's soul. If one day in the future, Roach becomes more crazy and starts to copy his more complete soul and use his soul copy as a slave tool, is that the mechanism for making traps in the Guan family's yard? Du Zhengyi stared at the fluttering figure, "You, are you crazy?" ”

In the midst of the danger, they were dangerously silent, and the clownfish's shadow was still lingering.

"I want to ask again, why are you called Clownfish?" Du Zhengyi said. "Do you think you're a clown?"

"No, because I'm ...... There was no such person, and the clownfish's name happened to be Nemo. Clownfish said.

"What do you mean?" Du Zhengyi asked.

Clownfish laughed, "You can ask Roach, he must know the answer." ”

Du Zhengyi knew that if the clownfish wanted to attack him at this moment, it might easily break his shield and pry his brain open. He had never been so distracted and had a broken will.

"I'd like to ask one last question for the day." Du Zhengyi heard himself say.

"Now that it's over, just ask." Clownfish said.

"When did your leg become lame?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"After you die."
