In the next few days, the fast forward did not appear as Shao Ci thought.
Shao Ci didn't know if there were any important plots going to happen these days, so he didn't dare to walk away from Kevin.
Although it is said that the sacrifice is complete until the adult is reached, but who knows if something will happen suddenly, causing the sacrifice to be advanced? And judging from the bad character of the central computer, Shao Ci felt that such a thing was very possible.
On the other hand, in addition to his feet, Kevin, who now has an extra hand that cannot be used, is even more dependent on Shao Ci, and this dependence has even reached a pathological level.
The awkward attitude like before was completely gone, and now Kevin was sticking to Shao Ci's side almost 24 hours a day, and his attitude seemed soft. Even if he doesn't see Shao Ci for a while, he will panic.
Shao Ci felt a sense of pride, but it was a little troublesome to take care of.
But it doesn't matter if the other party is a beautiful boy, and Kevin is not very old, and he can't even use his hands suddenly, so he must be very scared. Shao Ci had a feeling of pity for him.
If Kevin, who is already an adult but still so dark-hearted, acted like a baby like now, Shao Ci would definitely let him get lost wherever he likes.
Speaking of it, if an ordinary person came to take care of Kevin, he would be exhausted. That is to say, Shao Ci is acceptable because the player will not be tired. This family is too stingy and will send a few servants over...
While accompanying Kevin, Shao Ci's mental power has been paying attention to the movements in the castle. His mental power is not yet able to observe the entire castle like a monitor, but if something happens somewhere The problem can definitely be noticed at the first time.
But in the past few days, basically nothing happened. The bigger thing was that Richard was bullying men and women outside and was almost approached. Ever since he was frightened by Shao Ci once before and shocked by his mental power the next day, Richard didn't dare to do anything again.
Shao Ci swayed outside for a while, and after returning to the room with water, Shao Ci saw Kevin sitting on the bed clutching the quilt and waiting for him to come back.
The young man's face became even paler, his exquisite and beautiful face was full of anxiety, and the clothes he was wearing were a little loose, showing his thinness even more. The moment he saw Shao Ci, his eyes suddenly lit up .
What Shao Ci couldn't stand the most was the way Kevin looked at him. There was only his own reflection in those light blue eyes, as if he was his whole world.
If you think about it carefully, things seem to be like this... In this castle where everyone hates or fears Kevin, even his relatives are unreliable, and the only person Kevin can rely on is him.
For a moment, Shao Ci felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier. In fact, he had considered whether to kill Kevin directly at the beginning... He still hasn't completely given up on this idea, and he still feels a little guilty when he thinks about it.
"Where did you go?" Kevin took the opportunity to ask directly: "I woke up... I didn't see you..."
"I went to pour some water." Shao Ci has been used to it for the past few days, and explained: "You are thirsty now." Kevin would wake up so quickly.
Shao Ci walked up to Kevin with a water glass, and he immediately hugged Shao Ci, as if he could feel at ease only by leaning in Shao Ci's arms.
"Don't go out in the future..." Kevin whispered: "Just stay by my side all the time..."
"What about eating and drinking?" Shao Ci laughed and said, "If you don't eat, you will starve to death." Of course, it's okay for him not to eat.
"Don't worry about that." Kevin tightened Shao Ci's clothes again, almost pleadingly, "You just need to stay with me."
Anyway, before the sacrifice was completed, his father and family still needed him, so why didn't he take advantage of this
Shao Ci didn't pay much attention to it, he just took it as his younger brother's coquetry, fed Kevin some water, touched his head, and then sat on the bed... After all, it is not convenient to stand if you are hugged all the time.
"Let me tell you a story." As Shao Ci said, he took out a book from the nearby bookshelf - it should be fortunate that although this room is remote and small, there are still basic things that a noble young master would need .
Generally speaking, it feels like stories are only for children, but Shao Ci thinks that the spiritual world of Kevin must be very empty, maybe he has never read any stories, and it is not strange to tell him by himself.
Kevin next to him leaned on Shao Ci's body, listening to Shao Ci's voice telling a story, he instantly felt relieved.
As for the content of the story, he didn't listen to it at all, and was almost indulging in the gentle voice, but suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind.
Kevin was taken aback.
Here we come again, this is the voice that has been heard in his mind from time to time since he was sacrificed for the first time.
He never told anyone else, probably this is the voice of the god his father believed in... Kevin never believed in that god, after all, his current suffering was brought about by the other party.
So these voices, Kevin used to ignore, but today is a little different.
'Don't you want to have power? '
Hearing this sentence, Kevin was suddenly stunned. Of course he wanted power, but...is it that simple
The voice seemed to have sensed the change in his mentality, smiled lightly, and said with a bewitching force: "Just make a small deal with me, and you can get the power you are after." '
Obviously as long as the sacrifice continues like this, this body will belong to that god sooner or later, so what else can I trade with the other party? Is it the soul
Kevin realized that there must be something wrong with it, so he stopped responding and hugged Shao Ci lightly.
The warm feeling came from the other person's body, making Kevin feel warmed up instantly.
If Shao Ci was always by his side, then these things would not matter. he thought so.
Shao Ci didn't notice what happened to Kevin's body at all. After all, Kevin's body was already covered with black mist-like mental power, and he couldn't see any subtle changes.
Seeing that Kevin fell asleep again, Shao Ci gently put down the book in his hand, and sighed, "Hey, what should I do now... I can't find a way to kill that guy at all..."
The more I get in touch with, the more I realize the gap between myself and that evil god.
The only thing he can do is to destroy the magic circle and the idol, but if he thinks about it with his toes, he knows that these are definitely useless, and at most weaken the opponent's strength a little.
"I don't know what's going on with Jiang Qinghan... He has experienced more worlds than me." Shao Ci said to himself: "But he is the hero of the original text, so nothing will happen."
Shao Ci was still a little worried about Jiang Qinghan. After all, the plot was different from the original text, and he didn't know whether Jiang Qinghan would be able to hold on just by the protagonist's halo. Anyway, he felt that he was going to die.
Originally, Shao Ci didn't care whether his words would be heard or not. Anyway, the NPC would automatically block these words... But he suddenly thought of what Kevin said to him in the previous dungeon.
"No, no way..." Shao Ci turned his head suddenly, and saw Kevin sleeping soundly. Now that Kevin is so stupid and sweet, he shouldn't pay attention to such things... Kevin told himself before that he was also It was only discovered after catching other players.
Hmm... that's how it should be. Shao Ci heaved a sigh of relief, and this is just a dungeon of the game. Although the timeline is a hundred years before the last dungeon, it may not really change history, so he doesn't have to care about it.
Now that he has nothing to do, Shao Ci dare not sleep. He is a little afraid of the kind of thing that happened before when he woke up and fast-forwarded. The feeling that he can't control the development of things is not good... If you need to sleep, just go around and check the situation.
Shao Ci helped Kevin tuck in the quilt and left.
After he closed the door, Kevin opened his eyes.
He stretched out his movable hand and covered the pillow Shao Ci had leaned on, his expression became more and more complicated.
—
After arriving in the corridor, he walked for a long time without meeting anyone. Shao Ci suddenly stopped, feeling the cold air coming up from the soles of his feet.
Obviously it is broad daylight now, and there are so many servants in the castle, how could it be so quiet.
Shao Ci's complexion instantly became ugly, and the current situation seemed a little bad.
Could it be that he encountered a ghost hitting the wall? No, this is not a supernatural background. I guess he was pulled into some kind of strange space. Did the evil god finally find out that something was wrong with him and wanted to deal with him
Shao Ci looked around vigilantly and unleashed his mental strength. The moment he did this, the surrounding light became dim instantly, making it completely unclear like a dark night.
But Shao Ci didn't need to see clearly, his mental strength had already told him that this was not the corridor just now at all.
At this time, the mental power suddenly sensed something changed behind him, Shao Ci dodged to the side almost subconsciously, only to see a cold light flashing across his face, it was an arrow.
The arrow dissipated immediately after it hit the ground.
Shao Ci turned his head quickly, and saw countless black threads of spiritual power emerging in front of him, attacking him like this.
If an ordinary npc encountered this situation, he would definitely die immediately.
But Shao Ci has killed Xavier's people before (although the other party is a little bit of water), how can he not be able to deal with such a thread of spiritual power now, he will immediately release his spiritual power, and all the black threads around him Get tangled up against it.
Doing this is the safest way, but the mental power will be consumed very quickly.
Shao Ci originally thought that this would be a protracted battle, but suddenly, the surrounding darkness suddenly faded, and the black silk threads that entangled him also dissipated directly.
The noisy voice reached his ears in an instant, and Shao Ci found himself back in the corridor, with several servants walking beside him. When they saw him, they all seemed to avoid him, and walked away in a hurry.
Shao Ci was too lazy to care about these people, he was still thinking about the previous things.
Could it be that the other party didn't want to kill him, but just wanted to test his strength
"Is it really like this..." Shao Ci felt very tired.
It was such a bad feeling that the end was getting closer and there was nothing he could do about it.
...
…
Meanwhile, in the basement.
As the most important sacrificial place for the entire family, the basement is naturally guarded all the time.
Suddenly, the light of the oil lamp hanging on the wall flickered, attracting the guard's attention.
When their eyes shifted to the center of the basement, their faces turned ugly.
I saw countless dark patterns suddenly appearing on the originally smooth ground, and there were also incomprehensible words, exuding a simple and cold atmosphere, which made people feel chills when they saw it.
"Quickly report to the Patriarch!"
—
After such a thing, Shao Ci felt as if his body had been emptied. He wanted to take a good rest, but he didn't have the energy to look around, so he went back to the room directly.
In the past few days, because Kevin was pestering him, Shao Ci didn't go back to the servant's room... Anyway, there's nothing to go to that shabby room with many villains.
The other people's reaction to this was simply overjoyed, and they didn't want to sleep with Shao Ci, for fear of being infected with a curse that didn't exist at all.
After Shao Ci opened the door, he saw Kevin woke up again.
This time Kevin didn't act like a baby right away like before, but stared at his cheek with a bit of coldness in his eyes, "What's wrong with your face?"
"My face...?" Shao Ci stretched out his hand and found that his face was actually cut. After thinking about it, it seemed that he was scratched by an arrow during the previous battle, because there were too many things after that , he actually forgot... Now it's troublesome.
"Did someone bully you?" Kevin asked urgently.
"It's okay, no one bullied me." Shao Ci said quickly, "It's just that I was accidentally scratched."
Kevin's face was uncertain, and he said, "How could it be accidental... It must have been done by someone else... They actually treated you like this..."
He is very clear that these servants dare not do anything to him now, but it is very possible to do something to Shao Ci, and it is not uncommon for the servants who took care of him in the past to encounter this kind of thing.
"No, it's not..." Shao Ci didn't know how to explain for a while, he definitely couldn't say that he had fought with the big villain boss, he sighed, stepped forward, and touched Kevin's hair Ding, "You don't have to worry about me anymore, as long as you are well enough."
Kevin lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly, almost bleeding from his tender palms.
He suddenly realized that he was so powerless.
If it were two older brothers, they would definitely be able to protect the people around them, but he could only let Shao Ci take care of him, and even let him get hurt because of him.
It is impossible for him to stay with Shao Ci well as he thought before, as long as he is still like this, everything will not end, and he will not be able to get rid of it all.
He doesn't want to go on like this... He also wants to protect Shao Ci and take care of Shao Ci, just like Shao Ci did to himself.
Suddenly, Kevin remembered the voice that sounded in his mind before.
Ah... If you can become stronger, even if you sell your soul, it doesn't matter.
This time, Kevin made up his mind.
Shao Ci, on the other hand, lay on the bed and fell asleep after treating the wound.
He suddenly sensed something moving in the study, so he stretched his mental power over to eavesdrop. Fortunately, the study was relatively close to this side, so he could still do it with his mental power.
A mess of voices came from his mind, and after Shao Ci calmed down and got rid of the noise, his voice became clear.
"Patriarch, what should we do? What do the lines that suddenly appeared on the ground mean? Is God angry?"
"I've never encountered such a situation, and now I'm in trouble." The voice was very familiar, and it was Kevin's father's voice.
"Why don't you sacrifice Master Kevin once to appease the wrath of God." One person suggested.
"That's right. We can sacrifice a few more people this time. After all, Master Kevin alone is not enough."
"I originally planned to hold this ceremony until I became an adult, but now it seems that there is no other way, so let's hold it tomorrow." Finally, Kevin's father came to a conclusion.
And that's the end of the discussion.
After Shao Ci finished listening, he became sober.
Hey? ! The amount of information in these words is too much, not only will Kevin be sacrificed tomorrow, but also how many innocent people will be killed
So, you're going to fight the villain boss soon? He's not ready to feed anything yet!
... If this is the case, just take Kevin and run away. Anyway, these people are vicious, but their strength seems to be at the level of ordinary humans, and they are not strong enough to deal with him.
Shao Ci also thought about it seriously. The evil god probably wants to occupy Kevin's body and protect it all the time. In this case, what if he takes Kevin away to see these people.
Of course, Shao Ci didn't think that he could succeed in just one run, but it's okay to delay a little longer!
Maybe he can take the opportunity to make the evil god weaker and easier to deal with... Shao Ci tried to think optimistically.
So Shao Ci suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Kevin at the side, pondered for a while, and said, "I know everything about it before."
"What?" Kevin froze.
"It's what the Patriarch and the others did." Shao Ci said, "There's also the matter of you... being sacrificed, young master."
"How could you..." Kevin's face turned pale for a moment, as if recalling the previous memory.
"I followed him secretly that day and saw all of this." Shao Ci said, "But young master... are you going to let them do this like this?"
"I… "
Shao Ci looked at Kevin's wavering appearance, and struck while the iron was hot: "...Kevin, are you willing to leave here with me?"
Kevin looked at him in astonishment, he didn't even notice what Shao Ci said after that, his attention was focused on the first two words... It took him a long time to realize it, and immediately said: "Of course I am willing. "
Yes, why would he not want to? As long as it was Shao Ci's request, how could he not be willing.
"Yeah..." Kevin whispered: "If I follow you, I can go wherever I want."
Great! It's great that Kevin is so well spoken.
Shao Ci felt unreal. He originally thought he would have to say a few more words to convince Kevin... After all, Kevin has been here for more than ten years.
"Then I'll prepare now." Shao Ci was afraid that Kevin would regret it, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just sat up when he suddenly felt pain in the back of his neck.
Hey wait ah...!
Shao Ci didn't even realize what happened, so he just passed out when his eyes went dark.
Kevin embraced Shao Ci, who was falling to the side, into his arms. Looking at the sleeping Shao Ci, he sighed softly, lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, "I'm sorry..."
He was very happy to hear Shao Ci say that, and what he said was indeed true. He was willing to leave with Shao Ci, no matter where he went.
However, if he leaves like this, he will only become a burden to the other party for the rest of his life. Even if Shao Ci doesn't mind, he will hate himself for being so incompetent.
And... Shao Ci seems to have something that he doesn't know about. Kevin always feels that he will leave here and himself completely. And when that happened, there was absolutely nothing he could do.
Instead of letting something like that happen, it's better to let him gain power.
If that thing fails, the end is just death. If Shao Ci wanted to separate from him, it would be more painful than death.
But if he succeeds, he will be able to fulfill his wish... He will be able to be with Shao Ci forever.
Kevin's blue eyes seemed to be radiating light, he reached out to caress Shao Ci's cheek, and gently pressed a kiss on the other's lips.
With just a superficial kiss, he quickly raised his head, a rosy blush appeared on his pale cheeks.
"Stay here and wait for me to come back."
