Ulysses's words were a little strange, Li Li was stunned for a moment, thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

After nightfall, Heavenly Sword City was particularly lively, and after the day's work, the returning citizens began to enjoy a rare and comfortable time.

But instead of heading to the bustling central neighborhood, Li Li and Ulysses walked toward the most outlying part of the neighborhood, even more remote than the central hospital.

After walking to that courtyard, Li Li noticed a hidden fluctuation of spiritual power.

She glanced into the dense forest not far away, and saw a nephew squatting on a tree and bowing to herself, and then continued to crouch intently.

Very good, Li Li is very pleased.

It seems that everyone is very vigilant now, and they know to keep an eye on suspicious elements like Qiao Nan.

Although mermaids don't seem to be smart and don't look like they can come up with a conspiracy, there is a saying called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, who knows if they are pretending to be or not!

As a result, as soon as Li Li entered the yard, he saw a mermaid stretching his body, elegantly backswimming in the newly excavated pond, in the flickering tree oil lamp, the mermaid's stunning blue tail swung powerfully, and while the water splashed, his body also accelerated as fast as a swimming fish!

And then......

"Bang!"

The speed was too fast, the pool was too small, and the mermaid's head slammed into the wall of the pool.

“……”

Li Li had a brief period of self-doubt when he saw this scene, whether he really thought too much, this mermaid seemed to be really a fish brain.

After a brief silence, a howling cry resounded throughout the courtyard.

The four attendants rushed into the pool to coax the hapless child, but they didn't stop it.

After Li Li walked in, Qiao Nan, who was still howling in his throat just now, suddenly shut up.

He rubbed his head, forced himself to climb to the edge of the pond calmly and gracefully, and stared at Li Li.

Although he said that he was just borrowing to live in Heavenly Sword City, and he didn't need them to provide him with any services, Qiao Nan didn't expect Li Li to be so indifferent, he traveled thousands of miles for her, and she didn't even come to see him for more than ten days!

Fortunately, now this person's conscience seems to have awakened, although not much, but he still knows to come and visit himself......

"Did you come to me for something?" Qiao Nan tilted his head and asked with Li Li obliquely.

Li left his mouth and slammed: "I'm not here to find you. ”

What is conscience? This kind of thing only affects the speed at which she can draw her sword.

“……”

Jonan began to flick his tail frantically, splashing the water in all directions.

Li Li walked with Ulysses very calmly past Jonan and into the house.

"Come up and heal Ulysses when you've had enough."

"Don't, I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to be treated."

Li Li didn't fight with the children, and lightly shook out a parchment contract, which was the terms of the transaction that Qiao Nan took the initiative to sign before......

The mermaid muttered a mouthful of the potion, turned into a man, climbed ashore, pulled his robe and draped it over his body, and walked into the house.

Li Li glanced at the little guy.

It is indeed very small, and his face looks heavier than the childishness of Collins, and he is probably still a child in the mermaid clan.

She handed Qiao Nan a string of bright red and attractive sugar gourds, which Hailey gave her when she was passing by the shopping street just now.

Qiao Nan's eyes lit up, and he muttered about why a mermaid wouldn't eat this kind of thing, but his hand quickly took it.

The mood improved a little, Qiao Nan also coughed lightly, and took the initiative to report the progress of treatment.

"I've been healing his soul for a while, and I've discovered one thing."

Jonan, who had a long memory, glanced at Ulysses this time and asked, "Is this something that can be said?" ”

"Say it."

With the patient's consent, Jonan recounted the results of his observations.

"He didn't seem to have been attacked by other people's souls, but experienced something too terrible, and there was a certain error between that painful memory and reality, so that he couldn't tell whether this memory was illusory or real, and under such tugging, his soul was damaged."

Li Li remembered the endless nightmare that Ulysses said, and couldn't help frowning: "Are you still having nightmares?" ”

Ulysses sat motionless in his chair, lowered his eyes, and muttered, "No." ”

"It's become clear." After a pause, he continued to speak: "Qiao Nan, please treat me again, I am only close to completely confirming the truth of that incident." ”

Jonan nodded, expertly beckoning Ulysses to walk towards the water's edge.

Ulysses seemed to be familiar with this treatment, and silently cooperated, stepping into the pool.

Qiao Nan turned into a mermaid again, and sighed at Li Li: "Look, you shouldn't have let me go up just now, it's a waste of my potion to change around......"

Li Li was rarely treacherous, and tried to prostitute the prescription in vain: "Give me the prescription, and I will ask my pharmacist friend to help you prepare it for free." ”

Qiao Nan seemed to have a rare brain, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are stupid for me?" ”

Li Li was thinking that this fish didn't seem to be easy to deceive, so he saw Qiao Nan looking at him with the eyes of a profiteer: "You say it's free now, and you will definitely charge me money later!" ”

“……”

It was she who misunderstood his brain.

Complaining is complaining, after a short period of preparation, Qiao Nan, who began to enter the state of treatment, is still very professional.

In the clear pool, the little mermaid slowly swam in the water, and its tail glowed with a little golden luster, covering almost the entire surface of the water.

In the soft glow, he looked at Ulysses and began to hum a soft ballad.

The tone in his throat didn't sound like any kind of language, but more like the distant call of some deep-sea creature, soft as the waves crashing against the reef in the moonlight.

Li Li's thoughts accompanied Qiao Nan's humming, and he also seemed to see the quiet deep sea that shimmered with small points of light, and his mood became extremely peaceful and serene.

Spots of light on the surface of the water slowly flowed into Ulysses' body like fireflies.

Li Li could clearly sense that Ulysses's originally weak spirit was a little stronger.

After Jonan's singing gradually stopped, Ulysses slowly opened his eyes as well.

Qiao Nan, who had an obviously tired face, was a little dissatisfied: "You'd better fall asleep now, which is the greatest respect for my singing." ”

Ulysses, who came ashore, apologized solemnly: "Thank you for helping me with treatment, but I have something very important to say to Li Li now, so I'm sorry, I can't sleep tonight for the time being." ”

"If you don't sleep, I sleep."

Qiao Nan snorted and dived to the bottom of the pool.

After Ulysses solemnly thanked the mermaids one by one, he signaled that Li Li could start talking.

When the two returned to the house, Ulysses, who was drenched, did not change his clothes, but silently draped a blanket, and then sat down in silence opposite Li Li.

This was a very faux pas for Ulysses, who valued etiquette the most.

But he didn't care about that now.

Those fragmented memories, healed by Jonan...... Finally revealed its original appearance.

However, at this time, Ulysses began to hesitate, not knowing whether to inform Li Li about it.

Li Li saw through his hesitation and said lightly: "I guess, the reason why you are so entangled is because the problem on your body is related to Xi Ze, right?" ”

"How do you know?!" Ulysses was stunned.

"It's just you, Xi Ze, and Mu Qian in the secret room." Li Li calmly clarified the facts: "Mu Qian doesn't seem to know what happened in the secret room, but Xi Ze is different, maybe you don't know that when you were discovered, he fell beside you. ”

“……”

Ulysses lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

It was a long time before he slowly raised his head.

"I'm sorry, I regret it, I probably can't tell you about it."

"Because you think it's going to cause trouble for your best friend if you say it, right?"

Li Li ruthlessly revealed the truth: "But Ulysses, you may also realize that your friend seems to be in great trouble and danger, and you don't seem to be able to help him now. ”

"I ......"

"I made a deal with him." Li Li looked at Ulysses seriously: "I need his help with something, and he asked me to help take care of you, now we can be considered a group." ”

“……”

After a long silence, Ulysses' face had a very complicated expression.

Maybe it was Li Li's words that moved him, maybe he knew that Li Li and they had no ill will towards him, or maybe he really realized that now she was the only help he could seek.

Ulysses finally spoke.

"Yes, I find that Hirzer's situation does not seem to be as easy as I thought.

He actually has the forbidden magic and all kinds of surveillance methods laid by the Pope himself.

I should have realized that he had never learned the knowledge of forbidden demons but was so familiar with it, and he could easily crack Gru's [Forbidden Demon Rain], and he hadn't learned the formation either, but he was so skilled in formations......"

Ulysses muttered a few words in a low voice.

In the end, he hoarsely said the most crucial thing, the one that should have completely disappeared from his memory.

"It's only now that I'm sure that what I thought was a nightmare wasn't just a dream, it was something that actually happened."

"I was taken by Thirteen to reform, and when the transformation failed, I was sent back to the Chamber of Secrets as a warning to the two of them, and I died there......"

"Restricted by the forbidden demon formation, Mu Qian has no way to use magic, she stood next to me, trying to stop the blood gushing out of her heart for me, at that time, my soul that was about to collapse was suspended in mid-air, looking at everything in the secret room."

Ulysses slowly stroked his chest, where there was not the slightest scar.

"Then, I saw that Hizer forcibly cracked the forbidden spell and then hit Mu Qian with the Sleep Charm."

"He grabbed my hand."

"Then, the wound began to heal."

"The heart of the demonic beast that was forcibly put in disappeared, the heart that was randomly thrown away by the thirteenth was reclassified as one, the hideous wound on the chest that was cut healed, the skin became traceless, and even my broken soul was forcibly pulled back into the body by some special force."
