Chapter 22: The Castle
When she was in the hospital, Cui Peng accidentally found from Lin Meiqi's mobile phone that on the day of Lin Meiqi's accident, she rushed to the agreed place at the appointed time and stayed for a long time before going to Huxin Park. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After discovering this, Cui Peng immediately put the target of his suspicion on Qiu Tingting, who claimed that he had never waited for someone. On the way back to school with Qiu Zhe, he told Qiu Zhe about his discovery, but at that time, the two of them were only suspicious.
However, when they arrived at the place, they happened to see Qiu Tingting doing something to Gao Yongxia, so the suspicion turned into a fact.
On the way to catch up with Qiu Tingting, Qiu Zhe kept recalling his experience of contact with Qiu Tingting, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
When we first met, there was no doubt that the other party was an ordinary human being. After a few contacts, it was the more powerful Gao Yongxia who dealt with him. From beginning to end, this girl's presence is very weak.
But one thing is certain, from the initial acquaintance to the time the truth was revealed, the other party behaved very naturally, and there was no sudden abnormal behavior.
Qiu Zhe once believed that Qiu Tingting was possessed, and after the other party claimed to be Queen Christina, this view was confirmed. But there is one suspicion that can never be explained, that is, the other party's words and deeds are natural from the beginning to the end.
No matter how clever the snatching is, it also needs a process of adaptation. Whether it is the integration of soul and body, or the adaptation to a new environment, language, behavior, living habits, etc., and Qiu Tingting, whom Qiu Zhe knows, is the same from beginning to end, without showing any doubts.
After the truth comes out, the absence of doubts becomes the biggest doubt.
There is no discomfort in giving up, and there is no gradual process. Why did Qiu Tingting, who was obviously an ordinary human when they first met, suddenly become a powerful and evil Queen Christina?
The only explanation that makes sense is that she was not taken away, but the active cooperation of the two parties. Only when Qiu Tingting, who was originally a human being, took the initiative to cooperate, Christina could adapt to the unfamiliar environment so quickly.
"No, there is no need to adapt, because in ordinary life, she is Qiu Tingting herself, and only when necessary, she is Christina. Qiu Zhe suddenly figured out the joints.
"I just don't understand, why are you doing this?" Looking at the girl who was slumped on the ground, not knowing whether to call Qiu Tingting or Christina, Qiu Zhe sighed, but the hand that was clasping the other party's lifeline did not relax for a moment.
"Those girls who were killed were either your roommates or your classmates, what good did it do you to hurt them? What did that guy named Christina promise you?"
"I-" was exposed, Qiu Tingting put away her disguise, became depressed, her eyes revealed shame, fear, unwillingness, hesitation and complex emotions, just about to speak, her expression suddenly changed, and the previous arrogant momentum reappeared:
"Because I can make her the most beautiful and dazzling woman in the world, and all men's eyes will be on her and no one else!"
"Is this important?" Qiu Zhe was a little puzzled.
"Then you ask her yourself, hahaha-"
The arrogant momentum receded, Qiu Tingting became panicked and uneasy again, this momentary expression switching, as if changing her face, made Qiu Zhe feel indescribably disobedient and weird.
"I, I'm not reconciled," Qiu Tingting gritted her teeth and hesitated for a long time, as if she had finally made up her mind: "When I was very young, Xiao Xia and I were good friends, and we were tired of being together everywhere, and everyone said that we were closer than sisters, and I always thought so." ”
"But why, no matter when or what, she always has to surpass me, she is taller than me, she is better at learning than me, she has a stronger personality than me, she can play musical instruments, she can calligraphy, and she is even better looking than me. No matter where I am, others think that I am just her follower, her foil. ”
"Even the boy I like only has her in his eyes. Even if he is rejected, he is reluctant to let go. Qiu Tingting's words were filled with some crying, as if she remembered the unhappy past: "Obviously I'm here, are they all blind?"
"So, you believe Christina and help her harm those classmates? Can't you see that she is lying to you?" Qiu Zhe said in a deep voice: "When she is done, you will be the first to be unlucky." ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Qiu Tingting changed her face again, needless to say, the dominant body was replaced by Christina, and she said angrily: "Haven't you looked in the mirror these days? No problem with what kind of man you want!"
"You are talking nonsense," Qiu Zhe said coldly: "After repairing the magic mirror, what use value does Qiu Tingting have? When the time comes, you will definitely occupy this body openly and completely drive away Qiu Tingting's soul, if not, she will end up like other girls, right?"
"That's enough-" Qiu Tingting showed a painful look, as if she was struggling with something, beads of sweat continued to appear on her forehead, and her face was blue and white. Qiu Zhe watched coldly, watching a ball of blood-red light overflow from the top of Qiu Tingting's head, and burrowed into the mirror in her hand when she couldn't afford it.
The originally ordinary mirror suddenly rippled like a lake, and then the mirror flew into the air, the mirror continued to expand, and a portal slowly opened in it, and a bottomless world could be vaguely seen.
Qiu Tingting's whole body fell softly, as if the strength of her whole body had been lost at this moment, and there was no trace of brilliance in her eyes.
Qiu Zhe didn't care about her, just looked at the strange changes in the mirror, and when he saw that the portal was gradually closing, he didn't hesitate anymore, he flew up, and the whole person was thrown into the mirror.
The moment you pass through the portal, the temperature and humidity around you change suddenly. A strange feeling rose in Qiu Zhe's heart, and his leap seemed to travel through time and space.
In a moment's whirlpool, when everything was quiet, the surrounding scene had completely changed, and Qiu Zhe found himself in a medieval European castle, the air was unusually humid, as if it had been raining for a long time. There wasn't a single living thing around, and it was suffocatingly quiet.
"Is this the truth of the magic mirror?" Qiu Zhe said in his heart: "A magic weapon that contains a spiritual realm?"
The castle in front of him looks no different from the real thing, but with Qiu Zhe's eyesight, he can still see through the essence of its illusion. Although the appearance is infinitely close to reality, it does not reverse yin and yang, crossing the gap between consciousness and matter.
If he hadn't seen through this, Qiu Zhe would never have dared to go deeper. If the spiritual realm can be transformed from virtual to real and become real matter, then at least it is also the existence of the blessed land level, and the blessed land must be a magic weapon inside.
If the opponent had a real magic weapon, Qiu Zhe would definitely run away, knowing that he would die in the choice, he would never do it.
If you want to select the most death-fearing and life-loving species in the world, Qi practitioners will definitely be on the list.
Relentless cultivation and operation all year round, enduring loneliness and suffering that ordinary people can't bear, practicing qi and fighting with people and the sky, in order to have two words: "immortality".
As a qi practitioner, Qiu Zhe will do a risk assessment before making any choice.
Risks and benefits often coexist, and how to choose depends on the expectations of both.
"Christina has been seriously injured by me, and although her mental attack is powerful, it is not a cause for me to worry about," Qiu Zhe closed his eyes and thought in his heart: "Although this castle looks like a real thing, its essence is still an illusion. ”
"Even if there are any traps I don't know about, they shouldn't be able to keep me. ”
"Since you promised to save people, if you can do more, let's do more. ”
When he opened his eyes again, Qiu Zhe's eyes seemed to have an extra pool of autumn water, bottomless.
"Found it. ”
He looked around, his eyes pierced through the walls of the illusion, and in a circle, he found the location of Christina's hiding place among the hundreds of rooms in the castle.
Qiu Zhe no longer hesitated, went straight through the wall, and came to Christina by the most direct path.
Seeing him suddenly appear, a hint of panic flashed in Christina's eyes. And Qiu Zhe is also the first time to see the true face of the other party.
Typical Germanic race, tall and long-legged, plump breasts and fat buttocks. The facial features are undoubtedly beautiful, with blonde hair coiled behind the head, and there is an exotic style. Dressed in the skirts of medieval European noblewomen, Qiu Zhe had only seen them in movies in the past.
This is a ghost, an ancient ghost who has been in the world for an unknown number of years.
The first time Qiu Zhe saw the other party, he had already made a judgment.
"You're such a monster. ”
Christina's voice was a little hoarse, with a strange seduction. The accent is slightly weird, and it seems that after she broke away from Qiu Tingting's knowledge, although she can still master Chinese, she has degraded.
"What about the girls?" Qiu Zhe ignored Christina's words, only caring about the most important things.
"Hehe, you can't find it. This is my castle, and no one can find them but me. I've endured a thousand years of loneliness here, so let those girls be my companions here. The Magic Mirror needs them, and so do I. Christina muttered as if she was stunned, not knowing whether it was Qiu Zhe or talking to herself.
"You don't have a choice," Qiu Zhe sighed, his right hand was raised, and countless breaths gathered in his hand, this is the purest Yang Yuan Qi, which naturally restrains all yin and evil: "Tell me the whereabouts of those girls, or you will be wiped out." ”
Qiu Zhe has seen through Christina's essence, a ghost that has existed for at least hundreds of years. And from her muttering just now, the strange spiritual secret technique before, and the mastery of the magic mirror magic weapon, it can be inferred that the identity of the other party before her death should be a powerful cultivator. After his death, he lived in the magic mirror and became a machine spirit. Rely on powerful spiritual power to bewitch human beings and achieve their ulterior purposes.
But these things have nothing to do with him, he came here just to save the souls of those victimized girls.
Christina looked at Qiu Zhe's palm with fear, although she didn't know anything about the spells of Middle-earth, she clearly felt that the other party had the ability to destroy ghosts, a kind of power that was different from the Holy Light of the Church, but it was the same.
"Don't come here," Seeing Qiu Zhe approaching step by step, Christina finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and begged for mercy as if she had collapsed: "I'll tell you where those girls are." ”
