Chapter 10: Prey

"Symbiosis? What do you mean? ”

"Even if I can't live without you, so can you...... Can't do without me. ”

The deliberate pause seemed to emphasize the second half of the sentence.

"So what the hell are you? Ghosts? Phantom? Or is it some other mess? There was a hint of crying in Shabhe's exasperated tone.

Countless questions rolled in her mind, tormenting her fragile nerves.

Why is it yourself who encounters this kind of thing, is this a reality or a nightmare?

If it's a nightmare, how do you wake up?

If it's reality, how did you provoke this thing?

"Didn't I answer just now, I am a prisoner of your master, and I have been a prisoner of you since the moment you were born......"

"After all these years, why haven't you ever appeared before, and now you suddenly appear again!"

The pure white of Habho's body gradually turned dark, and there was not a trace of light, only an endless void.

"Because, ah, someone wants to kill this poor prisoner who lives with you...... If your prisoner dies, you, master, will die too......"

These words echoed for a long time in the dark space.

After a long time, there was another murmuring in the hollow distance:

"You don't have to worry, I'm always there when you need me......"

The darkness had cleared, and the room was still familiar, the curtains by the window were flickering, and the sound of children jumping upstairs was heard again.

When I opened my phone, at 22:33, the call with Gu Yao ended three minutes ago......

So, I had a dream when I closed my eyes?

No! Not a dream!

The scenes of dreams are often vague, and the experience of Fang Cai, like an inscription, has been deeply embedded in Shabhe's senses.

Xia Buhe picked up his mobile phone and dialed Xiao Yu's phone again.

"Sorry, your call is ...... temporarily"

She held her phone helplessly, listening to the emotionless voice announcement on the phone, her teeth began to tremble, and a few crystals slipped from her eye sockets.

How she wished that Xiao Yu could be by her side at this moment, like every nightmare she had before, hugging herself into her arms, saying words that mocked her, and gently patting her back with her hand......

The unforgiving reality is that he is not there.

…………

"Did you do anything to the enchantment? Also changed the speed at which time passes in the enchantment? Ouyang Ping looked at Xiao Yu cautiously, with hostility in his eyes.

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "Eh, how can I have this ability." To change such a large range of enchantments, I can do it alone......"

Yang Bing, whose face had already recovered his blood, snorted coldly, propped himself up from Ouyang Ping's arms, and said coldly: "Don't pretend, the order to kill you has been drawn up long before this mission, and it is the highest level of black level." This also means that you will be the enemy of the entire organization! ”

Hearing Yang Bing's words, Qiao Feng silently moved his steps and retreated from Xiao Yu's side to behind Ouyang Ping.

Xiao Yu smiled with an indifferent expression: "Even if the organization wants to kill me, then you can't rely on me for the matter of this enchantment, right?" ”

"Hmph, the cicada in this enchantment must have been attracted by you, right? You want to use the ability of this moon-dwelling cicada to absorb energy and weaken the organization's power to hunt you! ”

Yang Bing's tone was strong, because she believed that Xiao Yu in front of her was the reason why the Cicada of the Moon Habitat appeared in Cangjiang.

"Oh......" Xiao Yu suddenly realized, and nodded again and again, "It turns out that your mission this time is to round up the cicada that perches the moon!" With the ability of the cicada of the moon, coupled with this barrier that delays the passage of time, it can invisibly eat away every bit of energy of those who enter the barrier. A good trap to weaken the power indeed! ”

"Are you admitting it?"

Yang Bing was in a trance by Xiao Yu's fluttering attitude.

"What am I admitting? Like him, I just got into this barrier by accident. Xiao Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest, raised his chin, and pointed at Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng nodded, confirming what Xiao Yu said.

"Besides, I've only seen this cicada in your archives, and as for what it looks like, I really want to see it......"

"What ......is the cicada of the perched moon" Qiao Feng didn't understand, and subconsciously asked, but the tense atmosphere made him stop his voice, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Originally, I didn't have the right to know your rank, but now that you have entered the enchantment, I would like to be prepared to tell you." Ouyang Ping glanced up at Qiao Feng behind him, and said lightly, "The mission description we received was to go to Cangjiang to encircle and suppress a demon beast, this demon beast cannot be detected by energy detection, so we didn't know what the demon beast here was before the mission." ”

"It wasn't until we entered the enchantment that we realized something was wrong, every spell we used consumed dozens of times more energy than usual, and even a basic energy detection consumed nearly half of my energy. That's when we realized that the prey this time was the cicada of the moon. ”

After Yang Bing added, Qiao Feng nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Hahaha......" Xiao Yu let out a burst of laughter inexplicably, attracting the attention of the other three.

"You still think the cicada is prey?"

Xiao Yu's words seemed to wake up Ouyang Ping.

Ouyang Ping's eyes became dull, and his expression stiffened.

A snowstorm sparked in his head, and an invasive chill ran down his spine.

After connecting all the unreasonable points of this mission, he came to a result that he couldn't accept:

"The prey of this operation is all those who enter the barrier...... No, all those involved in the mission ......"

Xiao Yu turned his back, raised his right hand above his head, and with a casual wave, the spotlight above his head floated higher, and the range of light expanded a lot, projecting an aperture of about ten steps.

The four of them were shrouded in pillars of light, as if they were the most striking targets in the dark forest.

"The cicada that perches on the moon is originally a kind of chilling cicada, but for some reason it has become a demon and feeds on the energy that is free from the world. You also know that where there are more people, there is less free energy......"

Xiao Yu deliberately didn't finish his words, because he was waiting for Yang Bing and Ouyang Ping to say the answer themselves.

"So the cicada that perches on the moon will not appear in Cangjiang by itself! I said I was led here! Yang Bing still stared at Xiao Yu coldly.

"Nope! If the cicada is lured by someone with energy, it is too time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult not to be noticed. And from the information we have, this monster suddenly appeared in the east of the Cangjiang River. ”

"Spatial teleportation?"

Ouyang Ping nodded in approval of Yang Bing's conjecture, and continued to take stock of the suspicious places: "The enchantment that has been passive in the hands and feet, the array that slows down the flow of time, the cicada that has been artificially teleported, and the mission time is deliberately arranged on the night of the full moon......"

"On the night of the full moon, isn't it the time when the cicadas that perch on the moon fade their shells? Wouldn't it be easier to round up while he was weak? ”

Yang Bing's question made Ouyang Ping shake his head helplessly: "Doesn't this show that the person who issued the task knows that there is a cicada that perches on the moon here......"

The coldness in the thick mist damps all the hearts that have been hot.
