"Sister Mochi! Sister Angul! I ...... I've caught a problematic guy here!"
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense! I don't have any holidays with you, why are you so inexplicably pouring dirty water on my head......"
"I can't be wrong! I've seen your picture before!" Xiao Zi carefully identified the old man's face and said with great certainty, "You must have something to do with those guys!"
Xiao Zi groped around the old man's body for a while, and soon found a few fragments.
"And say it's okay! You say, what is this? How could an 'ordinary person' have such a thing! What's more, the pungent smell on your body can't be hidden from me at all!"
That's the smell of people who have been dealing with these stone fragments for a long time, even the young girl she saw before, Xiao Zi couldn't smell that smell on her - because for people like her, the time they have come into contact with these stone statue fragments will not exceed ten years, and it has been a matter of recent years for this country to be crowded into this "ranks". And on this old man's body, the smell that made Xiao Zi particularly sensitive could not be concealed at all, it was obvious that this was a person who had been involved in this field for decades. Combined with the background of the times, Xiao Zi doesn't think that he will have no connection with those villains who have distorted his life.
"It's really a fragment of me...... Well, sure enough, the power has been overdrawn. ”
Angul looked at the items that Xiao Zi had "seized" from the other party, and also subconsciously frowned - seriously, although she exercised the golden cicada's plan to get out of her shell. But part of his past "body" was hidden by an old man. It's always a little weird.
Shouldn't I be glad that I wasn't in human form at that time, so I wasn't too embarrassed?
"Uh-huh~ when you weren't there just now. This guy has been wandering around this generation obscenely, and I found out about it! I don't know what kind of heart this guy has at this time!"
Xiao Zi's personality itself is very kind, but for a small number of people, it is difficult for her to show her gentleness...... She is not alone, because of the atrocities of some mad careerists, the people who have lost their lives are incalculable, and even more excessive. If it weren't for Xiao Zi, who was also a very restrained person, maybe she would have screwed off this old man's head by now. Even so, Xiao Zi could feel the bursts of murderous intent in her body.
"Huh, in the moment when Mochi and I left?"
Angul was also stunned when she heard this--she and Mochi hadn't been away from Xiao Zi's side for a long time, but when did someone unknowingly touch into their warning range? Although she was "tuning [River Crab] to teach" Mochi at that time, her mind could not help but be able to take care of the surrounding environment at the same time, but she would never let people touch it and not notice it.
Look at the old man's appearance. It's not a powerful person, but what is it......
"Wait, Purple. Angul stopped Xiao Zi's further action, and she gently held Xiao Zi's wrist. Squatted down and carefully looked at the little "clues" left on the old man's body.
In the end, it was indeed she who found the key clue.
"This is a lingering mixture of thoughts. It's really Lynn's ability that causes it...... Did you be teleported by someone 'somehow'?" Angul gestured to the mochi behind him, still in an eerie state of chatter. "Got by a little guy who looks like this kid?"
The old man looked behind him, and his eyes seemed to be blank. The mental state of the mochi looked very subtle, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
“...... Really...... Exactly the same ......"
He's a researcher, and what he's best at is finding the special in the redundant. In the past, he had not been in contact with twins, and even if they seemed to others to be identical twins, there were quite a few differences in his eyes. may be similar in appearance, but after all, it has been cultivated, even if you don't talk about personality, temperament, etc., purely in appearance, there will be many subtle differences due to acquired factors.
However, when he saw Mochi, he couldn't tell the difference between her and Lin at all—obviously in terms of temperament, the two could be easily distinguished, but if he looked at the appearance, he couldn't find any difference at all!
In his cognition, the only thing that can achieve this level of complete consistency is "cloning".
"Sure enough, you were thrown by Lynn......" Angul glanced at the old man curiously, a little puzzled, why Lin had to go to great lengths to send this person over, "It seems that you have been specifically ordered to find mochi, what the hell is the matter......"
"This, please let me meet ...... face to face Is it okay to talk to that young lady?"
"Pointless prudence. ”
Angul couldn't help but shake her head—she could probably feel an extreme lack of confidence in the heart of the old man in front of her. Unlike Mochi, this old man has let this emotion distort his psychological balance, and now he has an almost pathological skepticism about everything.
If you are too cautious, you will be suspicious...... Obviously, this old man is in such a helpless state. Maybe it was because of the recent blow or something else? Angul didn't bother to dig into it anyway, if the other party was a lovely young girl, she might have put a little more thought, but a bad old man? Forget it...... In other words, at such an age, if you don't have the ability to figure it out on your own, it's useless to help him out of the haze~
"Mochi is stabilizing his spirit now, just tell me what you have. I really don't know, at this time, what are you still worried about...... If you really think so, now is a chance to escape from a dangerous person like me, and I won't stop you. ”
“...... I'm sorry. It's mine, it's not. ”
The long-term life of intrigue has made this old man interested in the things around him. It is inevitable that they will give priority to distrust, and now he is mentally unstable. Naturally, the suspicion is even worse. However, as Angul said, the current situation, for human beings, even the use of "existential time" is not an exaggeration, this is no longer the time to consider the gains and losses in the details - trust is stayed, distrust is away, it's as simple as that.
"That girl, please let me do this. Give it to her sister......" The old man carefully took a brooch from his pocket, "I don't quite understand what this is for, but ...... I think it's something important, huh!?"
The old man only felt as if a gust of wind was blowing in front of him, and the brooch in his hand had already reached the woman's hand.
"This is my brooch for Lynn!How could she give it to you!?"
Angul looked at the object in his hand, and immediately felt a trace of panic in his heart, even when she was plotted and sealed, this situation had never happened. Now, however, it is irrepressibly permeating the words.
This is proof of the contract between her and Lynn!
Lynn took it off and handed it to someone else, intending to pass it on to Mochi. What exactly is this trying to do!?
Angul hurriedly clenched the brooch, full of strength, and used his maximum mental strength. Reverse link to Lynn through the contract...... However, it was like a mud cow entering the sea. There was no news at all. No matter how hard Angul tried, he couldn't even pass the contract. Find the slightest breath of the contract master!
-- Contract ...... Broken.
Without Angul himself noticing, the contract between her and Lin had been broken, doesn't this mean that Lin is now ......
"No! if that's the case, I'm ...... now."
The void creatures without an ownerless contract cannot survive independently in the material world for a long time, although Angul is the top of it, and he can really barely stay in the material world, but it will not be very comfortable. But now, Angul did not feel any pressure from the material world, and although the contract with Lin was severed, she was still in a recognized "contract state".
Angul subconsciously glanced back at the mochi.
[These two people...... I see, my contract has not yet been broken. Even if there is no news from Lynn's side, most of the time there is a problem, but mochi is essentially my contractor...... The two of them are one and the same, have they reached this level that they can be shared along with my contract?]
You must know that unlike the half-spirit state of Mochi in the past, now she is not considered to be Lin's "appendage", but can basically be considered an independent individual, but she can also share the soul contract with Lin's side, or the contract with the Void Demon God, the degree of connection between these two children is so close that it is also a little unexpected by Angul now.
"Sister Angul, what is this brooch for?"
Xiao Zi looked at this brooch curiously, although it seemed that the material was ordinary and not precious, but it vaguely brought Xiao Zi a mysterious attraction, as if this brooch was a deep spring. Because of Xiao Zi's special experience and encounters, she discovered the extraordinaryness of such a brooch for the first time.
It is precisely because the power contained in it is so strong that it seems restrained, and even not a single "old pedant" here has discovered that it is of the same nature as the things he has dealt with for decades.
But Xiao Zi can feel it, and it is obvious that this brooch is inextricably linked with Angul.
"I really want to say that this is proof of the bond between me and Lynn, but it's a pity that the relationship between me and Lin is not close to this extent, a little helpless. Angul lifted the "heavy" brooch in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, "It's really jealous, little girl, Lin's little ghost, but the name is going to be handed over to you." ”
Mochi silently took the brooch from Angul's hand - at this moment, she was completely devoid of the sluggishness of the party, as if the so-called "adjustment" time had come to an end.
[This is the ...... What does Lynn want to give me?]
Mochi is no stranger to this brooch, and it is precisely because she knows the function of this brooch that she is quite puzzled by Lynn's behavior - is there any meaning in putting this brooch in her hand?
The doubts didn't last long.
In the south, a terrifying sense of oppression suddenly erupted that was different from the previous demons, but it was just as evil and terrifying. Unlike the bloody killing aura brought by the twisted monster, the magic that erupted this time was more calm and low, as if a cold blade was on its neck, making people breathless.
But this palpitating fluctuating breath is no stranger to mochi and Angul.
"This is...... Lynn!?"
Why her?
How could it be her!?
"Oh no, is the situation much more serious than we thought?" Angul quickly figured out the joints, "Even the blessing of the power of the soul borrowed from simulating the underworld is not enough, so that Lin needs to reverse herself and turn into a demon!?"
This is no less serious news than Lynn's killing.
Lin herself knows what kind of danger the power she holds, Angul also knows it, and Aisha and the others also know that if the user is a person with evil intentions, the consequences of such power being handed over to the other party will inevitably be devastating!
For a long time, this "maybe" hidden danger has always been non-existent, because Lin is really reassuring - but now, Lin has done something more serious than "going astray", she has completely reversed her personality and replaced herself with a ruthless and ruthless killing personality.
Or rather, this is what Lynn's power is all about—the precept of death that is completely compassionless, emotionless, and treats everything equally.
The current "Lynn" is, to be precise, the embodiment of death. The vast will to die has completely replaced Lynn's own personality and consciousness, and if it weren't for the fact that Lynn has a rather special nature, now Lynn can even be considered "dead" - according to common sense, the soul of those who do this has disappeared.
“...... Let's fit together. ”
Mochi made her decision straightforward, even though she had resisted it: "Let's stop that idiot!" (to be continued......)
