Huge raindrops continued to hit the ground, and a chill filled the air. However, no one at the scene took the rain seriously. They allowed the rain to fall on their bodies and stared at the nearby figures indifferently.
Although they are at peace with each other now, they will be facing each other to the death soon. There are many people present, but there is only one fruit. If you want to take more bites, you can only reduce the number of people.
"The essence of shadow is a curse."
While everyone was having their own thoughts, the woman in a gorgeous dress did not show off and said this directly.
Everyone didn't pay much attention when they heard this. Such an answer was even a bit disappointing to them - although the abilities related to the curse are rare, they are not scarce, and they thought it would be something more special.
The woman glanced at Yang Yiyi who was holding Bai Mo on the ground and looked nervous, and chuckled: "You don't need to be so nervous, I won't do anything to him."
But how could Yang Yiyi believe this woman's words? This guy knew Bai Mo so well, and he was obviously here for him. She held the sharpening charm in one hand and pressed it firmly against her neck, not giving the other party any tricks.
opportunity.
It's ironic, there are clearly a group of people all around who are looking forward to her death, but now in order to save her life, they have to follow her wishes, which is inexplicable and absurd.
For Yang Yiyi, this life is her only hope now. She has nothing else to ask for, she just hopes to play some role in saving Bai Mo.
In order to show that she was not joking, she moved so hard that blood quickly oozed from her neck.
The woman was not annoyed when she saw this, and said with a smile: "There is something I want to tell you. The reason why these guys around me are like this is entirely my work."
——Even now, the residents of Linxia City nearby who are fighting each other still haven't stopped killing. Bodies keep falling down. There is nothing but blood. It's not clear when it will end.
But they obviously can't get close to here, because if they get any closer, there will be only a dead end.
The woman seemed quite satisfied with the ending and continued, "But the reason why I did this was not just because I wanted you to die, but also for the sake of the gravekeeper in your arms."
Yang Yiyi looked at her with a cold face.
"You don't have to look at me like that. In fact, the reason why he is like this is entirely because of you."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Yang Yiyi's heart trembled: "Because of me?"
"Of course, if he hadn't killed so many people to save you, he wouldn't be like this." The woman said with a smile on her face.
... Bai Mo just killed a lot of people to clear the way, but does this have anything to do with his current state?
"Why……"
"Why? As I said just now, the essence of the Gravekeeper's shadow ability is a curse. Curses are very dangerous. They can either hurt others or themselves - so it is obvious that he has suffered backlash now."
The woman looked quite patient and said with a smile, "If nothing else happens...he should be enduring the pain of tens of thousands of residual souls biting his body right now."
Yang Yiyi glanced at Bai Mo with his eyes closed in her arms, and felt a little more self-blame in her heart. This woman was right, the reason why Bai Mo became like this was entirely because of her.
At this moment, the ashen-faced man in the crowd said: "A shadow formed by a curse, this is a bit new... But what have you done to these guys? Otherwise, killing a few people is not normal.
There may be backlash.”
This woman has definitely done something to those guys. In order to prevent her from using the same method against herself in the future, it is necessary to find out the situation now.
Everyone also looked at the woman. They thought that someone wanted to speed up the process of harvesting the fruit, so they did not stop it. Who knew that in addition to speeding up the ripening of the fruit, this woman also wanted the life of the tombkeeper...
But it has nothing to do with them.
It just so happens that this guy called the Gravekeeper is also a problem. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid they would have entered the final stage of the fight. If this woman is willing to put in the effort to deal with it, let her deal with it. They can just save the energy for the final fight.
of snatching.
The woman didn't seem to notice everyone's thoughts, and replied: "I did add a little bit of ingredients, but the taste of this kind of ingredients should not be unfamiliar to the tombkeeper, but he still ate it.
"
"What material?" Daoyin asked with a smile.
He had just killed a large group of people, but he didn't feel anything special.
The woman glanced at him: "Materials are only useful for specific people, so you don't have to worry."
"Let's get back to the point, let me tell you about the abilities of the tombkeeper in detail."
However, at this moment, a person suddenly interrupted: "You don't need to say it. We have seen the battle just now clearly. Although it is changeable, the overall performance of the shadow is really average. Instead of continuing to waste time, it is better to get to the point earlier.
."
"Isn't this the main topic now?"
The woman gave him a strange look, "Once this girl commits suicide, the effect of the fruit will be greatly reduced... So are you planning to stop her from committing suicide on my behalf? If so, then I would be happy, but if not
So, please shut up."
There was undisguised sarcasm in his voice.
The speaker was a short middle-aged man. His face turned cold when he heard the words, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
After a long while, the woman suddenly shook her head helplessly and smiled: "Sorry, I was wrong..."
But even though she said this, she didn't mean to apologize at all in her next words, "It's stupid to talk too much to ignorant people."
She was smiling from the beginning, but she was obviously not an easy person to get along with. On the contrary, she was quite strong and could not help others disturbing her.
The short man looked ugly.
And just when he was about to take action, a white hand gently pressed on his shoulder, and the ashen-faced man said gloomily: "You should know what business is, right?"
The tone was calm, but full of threats.
Although they are a group of unknown beings who appear from nowhere, there are obviously some level between them, and judging from the bodies they each found, the strength of this guy with a dead face is undoubtedly the highest.
A strong line.
Dao, who was not far away, saw this scene and shook his head slightly, not hiding his ridicule.
"Okay, continue to listen to me."
The woman continued, "The reason why you think the Tombkeeper's ability is very simple is because that ability is not complete at the moment. Although I don't know what the Tombkeeper has experienced, as far as I know, his ability is definitely more than that.
…”
Yang Yiyi said: "I don't want to hear these nonsense from you, I just want you to save him immediately!"
"If you want to save him, you can't do it without understanding the corresponding knowledge in advance."
The woman smiled and shut up Yang Yiyi with just one sentence.
The woman sighed and looked extremely serious: "It seems that you still don't understand the shadow woven by the curse... the terrible connotation of this ability."
Only then did everyone look at her.
"In fact, it is not as simple as a shadow, but more like a door. As for his real shadow... it has been eaten by the thing behind the door."
The woman said with a smile.
…
Bai Mo opened his eyes, feeling a tingling sensation coming over his body——
Someone is eating him.
He looked around and found that he was being bitten by a large group of expressionless, sluggish ghosts. The number was astonishing, and it spread to a dense, black area a hundred meters away.
Although he was more or less accustomed to this feeling, the pain was real. He couldn't move, and every piece of meat that was chewed off would grow again, as if he had to bear the feeling of being chewed on forever.
This is a dark and desolate land with no end in sight.
Except for the sluggish wandering souls wandering around, all that's left is the sky full of yellow sand. There's nothing else, not even an extra stone.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of huge footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
The ground began to tremble slightly, enough to imagine how huge the coming person would be. However, as the footsteps approached, it was discovered that it was not a giant, but a slim woman whose whole body was hidden under the black light.
The black light outlined the appearance of the black dress and formed a mocking black flowing mask, completely covering her head, making it difficult to see her true face.
She stood quietly, seeming to be calmly gazing at the white ink covered by wandering souls.
Bai Mo seemed to feel something in his heart, and at some point he opened his eyes and looked at her.
The two were silent for a long time, without saying anything. One seemed to have forgotten that he was being eaten, while the other seemed not to care about it and even found it interesting.
"You lost."
After a while, a woman's voice came from the black light and shadow's mouth. She said calmly, "According to the agreement, you should let me out and return my shadow to me."
"I didn't lose." Bai Mo said calmly.
"Suddenly in this place and ending up in such an embarrassing situation, you actually say you haven't lost yet?"
The black light and shadow said, "It seems that someone has mobilized the line of cause and effect, strengthened the karma on your body, and turned your drive on my shadow into my shadow's drive on you, thus causing a backlash."
She seemed to see at a glance the reason why Bai Mo looked like this. She paused and continued, "But I'm curious...how could you easily touch such an obvious trap? It's because you haven't seen me for so long and don't want to
Does it make me too lonely?"
When she said the last sentence, there seemed to be a hint of smile in her cold voice.
Bai Mo said calmly: "No, it's because I just want to come and see you."
The black light and shadow were silent for a moment: "Is there any difference between the sentence 'Afraid of my loneliness' that I asked?"
"The difference is that I just come here to regain my strength and it has nothing to do with you."
"Yeah.
"The black light and shadow showed no emotion or anger. He stared at the white ink for a moment and said calmly, "It seems that most of the real curses attached to my shadow have disappeared. What have you experienced?"
"Half a year ago, I met my fate."
"How's the battle going?"
"He's dead...but that's not necessarily the case."
"Destiny will not die easily, but since you have become in such a miserable state, it seems that you suffered a lot in that battle. You dared to come to me even without using the power of 'nothing'..."
Bai Mo said nothing.
"So that's it." The black light and shadow seemed to understand something, "You have even lost the power of 'nothing'? Why don't you get it back first?"
She seems to know everything about Bai Mo, and their relationship is puzzling.
"Compared to that, I believe in your power more for now."
Hei Hei was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What? It turns out that he can still say nice things."
The next second, her tone suddenly turned cold, and she said, "But what gives you confidence... makes you think that someone who has been imprisoned by you for thousands of years will be willing to help you gain strength?"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became stagnant.
Bai Mo's expression remained unchanged: "Because as agreed at that time, our lives are connected - you bear my sins, and I bear your curse. This cannot be changed."
After listening, the black light and shadow waved suddenly, and a large area of wandering souls was blown into the distance. She walked towards Bai Mo step by step. Every step was extremely heavy, as if she was carrying an extremely heavy shackles. If she hadn't used special power, I'm afraid
Most of the body can sink into the yellow sand.
She came straight to Bai Mo and said, "You see, this is the sin I bear for you. It is getting heavier and heavier. When one day I completely fall into the yellow sand, it will be the day of my death."
"Not only that, I also lost my freedom for ten thousand years, and also lost my kindred... So what exactly did I get from this agreement with you?"
She was asking Bai Mo, and she seemed to be asking herself.
"I don't know." Bai Mo said calmly, "But at least you are away from the curse for the time being - I am here to gain strength this time, as a way to..."
"you……"
The black light and shadow seemed to be extremely angry, and immediately leaned down and bit Bai Mo hard.
Unlike those wandering souls, this bite landed firmly on the opponent's shoulder, taking away a piece of flesh and blood, and the lost flesh and blood did not appear again.
"You are always like this, and you are like this to my sister too! Apart from the transactional relationship, I thought we could still be friends!"
Compared to what she just said, this seems to be the real reason why she feels angry.
"Did you say black henna?"
Bai Mo was silent for a moment, and then said something without any emotion.
"...She died in my hands."
As he finished speaking, a cold wind blew from nowhere, and the yellow sand surged, burying a few wandering souls.
"That's it...my sister was killed by you."
The black figure slowly stood up, with no anger in his tone, only a hint of sadness.
"Even you..."
"No, this has nothing to do with the curse." Bai Mo seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say and said calmly, "This is my will and the will of Hei Haina. She has never blamed you."
After a while, the black light seemed to smile: "Actually, if you had told me about this earlier, maybe I would have directly agreed to your request."
"If you talk about this...you probably won't be happy."
The black light and shadow was stunned, and then laughed out loud: "I didn't expect you to think about this kind of thing. It's strange, it's so strange..."
She smiled and choked up, "But... thank you."
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
One day, I will kill my loved ones with my own hands, all my friends and relatives will disappear, and I will live a lonely life, helpless and reach the end of the world——
This was supposed to be the curse she endured.
It is also her destiny.
But as early as the day the agreement was reached a long time ago, the guy in front of her had shouldered all this for her.
Is he suffering such a fate now?
If you get nothing from this agreement, what about the other party?
Bai Mo said calmly: "No need to thank me, just give me your power. There are people waiting for me, many people."
The black light and shadow took a breath and smiled: "I understand."
"By the way, Heishui Na."
And just when she was about to make a move, Bai Mo spoke again.
"I learned one thing from this incident - that is, the curse is being worn away by me, otherwise it will not be easily affected by karma, so..."
"When the day comes when you are about to be buried in the desert, or the day when I am about to die, let's change the shadow back."
Heishui Na was stunned.
"Freedom and a destiny that is no longer cursed...I give it all back to you."
