Chapter 2763 Breaking out of the cocoon and rebirth
Vai's sadness was not staged. Angel could clearly feel the sadness and despair in his heart.
He really felt that he might end up here completely.
However, it is worth mentioning that although Vai cursed Doakes at the last moment, he was more reluctant to give up in his heart. He did not really blame Doakes. The curses in his mouth were all about Vai.
Saying goodbye is just another way of saying goodbye.
Perhaps in Vai's view, this kind of exaggerated farewell...or farewell would appear to have more of a performance element and not look so sad.
Vai's emotions let Angel know that "something" might really happen next.
Judging from the details, these "things" should be the secrets of the Noah family.
Since it is a secret, should we avoid it? Angel was hesitant.
He turned around to ask Doakes for his opinion, but saw Doakes looking at Vai silently. His expression was calm, but Angel could sense Doakes' inner confusion.
It seems that Doakes hasn't realized what happened yet.
This confusion did not last long. When he realized what was about to happen, the calm lake in his heart began to ripple.
Round and round.
Each circle of ripples seems to be accompanied by different emotions. Surprise, confusion, sadness, disbelief... These emotions are constantly superimposed as the ripples spread.
The saddest emotion does not come in a surge, but the accumulation and superposition of little by little, so that you can clearly feel that sadness is also a kind of existence that can be touched.
That kind of volcano-like emotion is often just catharsis.
Seeing Doakes's eyes gradually changing, Angel finally said nothing.
Since the Black Earl didn't let them avoid it, nor did he create a fog that blocked their sight, does that mean he acquiesced to their viewing?
Angel took a step back silently. Although he still didn't know what the Black Earl was going to do, as a spectator, keeping a low profile and quiet was the only thing he could do now.
As for Vai's "last words" just now, Angel actually has reservations.
Vai felt that he was bound to die, but Angel felt that the Black Earl would not hesitate to die.
The reason why Angel had such an idea was not due to his knowledge of the Black Earl's "mercy", but rather a reasonable judgment based on the external environment and some details.
Before that, Angel and Doakes actually expressed their willingness to help Vai win many times, but the Black Earl refused. Even when Vai was in the most critical situation, the Black Earl went to stop Doakes.
, he said, “Only by facing death can you break out of your cocoon and be reborn.” This is actually a bit too much.
The Black Earl may have expectations for Vai, but any expectations must be based on his own strength. Facing the demon elephant's ownerless organ, Vai has exceeded the upper limit of what Vai can handle. But even so, the Black Earl still
Being unwilling to take action and even blocking their help is even more "exceeding".
The Black Earl may not care what Doakes thinks, but he should care about what Angel thinks.
This was not because Angel was arrogant, but from the emotions he sensed, Angel had already discovered that the Black Earl actually cared more about his own thoughts.
This may be because he holds the key to the legacy, or perhaps because of his own value.
But no matter what, the Black Earl values Angel, that's for sure.
So in this case, would he do something to cause Vai's death in front of Angel? Or even cause Vai's death by blocking Angor and Doakes?
If Vai really dies because of this, Angel's opinion of the Black Earl will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Even if Angel is overconfident, the Black Count actually doesn't care that much about his thoughts. Then he will care about the thoughts of the wise master, right? Or, will he care about the thoughts of the one in the dark?
After cheating his descendants in front of these big bosses, is he really qualified to enter the legacy land?
The above is Angel's own speculation. Whether it is correct or not, he cannot guarantee. But at least Angel has never sensed any ill will towards Vai from the Black Count from the beginning to the end.
The Black Earl was more angry at Vai for not fighting, angry at his degradation, pitiful for his hindrance, and lamented that he couldn't see through it. This is a typical attitude of elders towards younger generations, and even now, the Black Earl's attitude has not changed.
With the Black Earl with such an attitude, Angel didn't believe that he would just watch Vai die.
While Angel was thinking this, the Black Earl began to slowly break away from the... stone slab that bound him.
With a clang, the stone slab fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The Black Earl's body, that is, the handsome nose, was suspended in mid-air, and then slowly flew towards Vai.
There was fear and resistance in Vai's eyes, but no matter how much he resisted, the Black Earl's body still fell on Vai's body... to be precise, it landed on Vai's face.
Vai's face was almost shattered by the death light released by Guao's Eyes. No part of his skin was intact, and his facial features were even more rotten and displaced.
Among them, Vai's nose was the most severely damaged. It almost disappeared from the root, leaving only a black hole, and the red and white inside could be vaguely seen.
As for the Black Earl, it happened to fall on the spot where Vai's original nose was. It was neither too big nor too small, just right, and it directly filled in the place of Vai's original nose.
As the Black Earl successfully "landed", Vai's body began to undergo strange changes.
Vai's physical injuries were more serious than those on his face. Doakes tried to treat him before, but to no avail; but now, Vai's injuries miraculously recovered.
Broken blood vessels were reconnected, broken bones were repaired, muscles were rebuilt, and damaged organs were regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The most intuitive thing to see is the recovery of the skin.
In just one minute, Vaina's almost ulcerated skin returned to normal.
Moreover, it is whiter and smoother than before.
It can be said that today's Vai is like going back in time and completely restored to the past.
However, both Angel, Doakes, and even Kael could detect a slight difference in Vai. It was a change in temperament.
Even though Vai hasn't opened his eyes yet, the aura on his body has already taken over.
"This kind of aura doesn't belong to him." Doakes murmured in a low voice.
Angel can also see that this kind of aura has never appeared in Vai. Vai's aura in the past... can be said to be almost non-existent. But now, Vai's aura has a clear sense of sharpness.
It was like a broken blunt sword that turned into a sharp and shiny blade in the blink of an eye.
Doakes raised his head and looked at Angel blankly: "Did he...really disappear?"
Angel understood what Doakes meant.
The so-called disappearance does not refer to the disappearance of the body, but the disappearance of the soul and consciousness.
Combining Vai's words before, and looking at Vai's obviously changed aura now, Doakes obviously believes that Vai is no longer Vai, but... the Black Earl.
The Black Earl's nose found its "home", and similarly, his consciousness also occupied the high ground of Vai.
From Doakes' point of view, they were now facing the Black Earl, not his best friend.
The moment Doakes finished speaking, Vai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the past, Vai's eyes were not lethal, but at this time, Vai's eyes were so sharp that even Kael could feel the sharpness.
"The look in his eyes is different too." Doakes: "It's really... gone."
Doakes looked around blankly, feeling very confused at this moment. One moment, his best friend was still around, and the next moment, he had completely disappeared.
And before he had time to say goodbye, before he had time to grieve, he was already separated from his best friend forever.
Even Doakes doesn't know what to do now. He doesn't even know who to look for to avenge his best friend.
Are you looking for the Golem? The Golem is undoubtedly one of the enemies who killed Vai, but if there is a proportion of hatred, the Golem should be the smallest proportion among them.
Above the demonic elephant is the evil woman. Because the ancient eyes were given to the demonic image by the evil woman.
But above the evil woman, Doakes felt that it was him. He could obviously stop it, but he did nothing...
As for the one above him, the one who really pushed Vai into the abyss of death and took over Vai's body was the Black Earl.
Overall, it seems that the only target that Doakes can take revenge on is the Demon Elephant. Because there is a gray merchant around the evil woman, and the Black Earl is not something he can deal with, so after all, the Demon Elephant is the best to bully.
But the demon elephant has the lowest proportion of hatred, and all his actions in the duel did not violate the rules. If extrapolation methods are too excessive, didn't Kalel also use them?
So, Doakes is very confused now. What should he do now? Revenge? Or hold his head and cry loudly?
Or, just laugh it off like it's nothing?
When Doakes was at a loss, "Wai" had already stood up, moved his body, shook his limbs, and tilted his neck, as if he was adapting to this new body.
Doakes also saw this scene. For some reason, he seemed to see the Vai from the past in these actions.
But when he looked at Vai's eyes, he shook his head again... This look did not belong to Vai.
"Are you... Vai?" Although he didn't have any expectations, Doakes still asked.
Vai stopped and turned to look at Doakes. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, he said lightly: "What do you think?"
This unfamiliar tone once again made Doakes feel confused.
After a long time, Doakes lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice: "Black Earl... Sir."
"Hmm? Is something wrong?"
Doakes lowered his head, closed his eyes and said, "It's okay."
After finishing speaking, Doakes did not open his eyes, but continued to close his eyes and adjust his breathing to calm his complicated mood.
After a while, Doakes suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere. It seemed too quiet.
Doakes opened his eyes in confusion and looked up, only to see "Black Earl" turning around and looking into the void, seemingly thinking about something.
Angel on the side frowned in thought, while Kael beside him had a shocked look on his face, as if he had seen something that surprised him.
When Doakes was confused, Earl Black's voice sounded: "How long do you want to play?"
Doakes: "???"
A few seconds later, a familiar voice reached Doakes' ears: "It's rare for me to see him like this..."
When Doakes heard this sound, his eyes widened suddenly and he looked at the figure in front of him with his back to him.
Perhaps feeling Doakes's gaze, he turned around and saw "Black Earl"'s expression filled with disgust: "We have known each other for decades, but we can't recognize me. Even Lord Super Dimension can tell the difference."
Out!"
This familiar expression, familiar tone, and even the little movements on his face are all too familiar to Doakes.
This is basically——
"Wai?!"
…
Angel actually suspected from the beginning that the Black Earl would not be so cruel to Vai, but there was no conclusive evidence.
It was not until Vai's body recovered that Angel gradually confirmed his thoughts.
This is still Vai... In other words, Vai's consciousness is not annihilated as imagined. Vai's consciousness still exists in this body, and there is no definite answer to the Black Earl's consciousness at that time.
As for how Angel confirmed it? In fact, it was very simple. There was something wrong with Vai's aura.
It is true that Vai basically had no aura in the past; but similarly, the Black Earl would not deliberately emit an aura.
Even if the Black Earl takes the initiative to exude an aura, it is a strong aura that is thunderous with lightning and suppressed by power. This strong aura is perfect in all aspects when achieving the goal is the first priority.
However, when Wai recovered, the aura he actively released had no other feeling except vigor.
Will the Black Earl take the initiative to release an aura full of vigor?
Does the Black Earl still need to rely on his energy to prove himself?
The Black Earl has long since passed the period of expressing his emotions only with sharpness.
Excluding the fact that Earl Black did it, there is only one answer left, and that is that Vai himself did it.
So has the Black Earl's consciousness merged with Vai?
This question was answered after Vai woke up.
When Doakes asked "Are you Vai?" Vai gave the answer "What do you think?" This sentence was actually said by Vai himself, and the deliberately sarcastic tone was not too obvious.
Doakes didn't notice it, it was just a blind eye.
After that, when Doakes thought "Vay is no longer Vay", he called him "Lord Black Earl". At this time, it was the Black Earl who answered him.
However, Doakes lowered his head and adjusted his mentality at the time, and did not notice at all that Vai had not opened his mouth at all; the source of the sound came from Vai's nose.
Kael's face was shocked because he saw this scene completely.
Angel also judged from this that Vai's consciousness and Black Earl's consciousness were actually still separate.
The reason why Angel was still frowning at that time was because he still had some unsolved doubts.
Why did Vai think he would die in the first place?
Why did the Black Earl combine his clone with Vai?
If the Black Earl did this and it was good for him, then he must have had many opportunities to do it before. But why did he choose to combine until now?
