After his sight became clear again, Shao Ci saw the scene in front of him clearly.
In a gorgeous large room, there is a huge birdcage, which is also covered with soft carpets, as well as some pillows and web dramas, which seem to be prepared by the owner for his beloved pet.
If it wasn't for Shao Ci himself to be in this cage right now, he would feel that the owner is quite caring.
Shao Ci: "..." What the hell is this, is it interesting
What happened when he was not around!
Shao Ci stood up, trying to attack the cage with magic or something, shaking the cage, but the bird cage seemed to have the effect of restraining demons, which prevented Shao Ci from using magic and mental power.
The only way seems to be to use a key to open the lock. This lock is also specially made and cannot be opened by Shao Ci's personal strength.
"Damn it..." Shao Ci's face became ugly, and it was obvious that he could not do anything with this cage if he only relied on his physical strength.
Could it be that this is a trap specially set by the lord knowing that he will come back
At this time, the door opened.
Shao Ci looked up, and the handsome young man standing outside the door was undoubtedly Julius, and he walked over slowly with a bit of worry on his face.
"What's wrong? Why are you locked in a cage?" Julius frowned, as if wanting to help.
However, Shao Ci took a few steps back, with a bit of vigilance on his face.
"Don't you believe me?" Julius' expression suddenly became sad, and his ruby-like eyes dimmed a bit.
"I also want to believe you." Shao Ci said, "But, this birdcage was prepared by you, right?"
How could Shao Ci, who has experienced so many things and met so many blackened characters, be fooled by the other party's acting skills casually? He subconsciously realized that something was wrong with Julius!
Besides, although Julius and the lord consciousness are not the same, but in the end he is still a person, thinking about it should not be in vain...
Hey, Shao Ci remembered that he had also suddenly left without saying goodbye. Maybe this incident had irritated the other party, but he couldn't help it! This is a trick of fate (.
"However, why did you do this kind of thing..." Although Shao Ci had already guessed very closely, he still asked in accordance with the normal procedure, "We can have a good talk."
"Sure enough, you found it." Julius was stunned for a while, then put a faint smile on his face, and walked slowly to the position of the birdcage, staring at Shao Ci standing inside, "I, I have already Find out how naive your past self was.”
Shao Ci: "No, actually...it's actually pretty good!"
"If that's really the case, why did you just leave?" Julius said, "I've already figured it out. With my strength, I really can't do anything. I can't protect others, and I can't be Relying on others... ”
Shao Ci: "..."
"Others too, they don't need me at all," Julius said, "However, I don't need them either."
Julius looked at Shao Ci, "I just need you by my side."
Shao Ci: "Even in a cage?"
"Yeah." Julius said: "You can't leave now, can you?" He said softly again: "And I will take good care of you, so it will be fine if it continues like this."
Damn, is this really going to be kept as a pet
"It's not good!" Although it's already this time, Shao Ci still didn't give up trying to persuade the other party... He has a wealth of experience in dealing with blackened characters!
And if you don't say it this time, who knows how long you will be locked up in this ghost place. His physical and mental health will have problems.
"Do you think this is really okay?!" Shao Ci looked straight into the other person's eyes and said, "Is it really what you want to lock up a person and stay with you forever?"
"What do you mean?" Julius was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and said, "It's impossible for you to convince me. I won't let you go again."
In fact, from the fact that the lord has kept such a large group of people in this place for hundreds of years, we can already see his character subtly.
"Your idea is correct. Weak people really can't keep what they want, but is it because of this that they lock up others?" Shao Ci continued, "What you do, and this Local lords are no different indeed..."
"Those people outside are very happy." Julius said, "Isn't it?"
Although he tried his best to conceal his wavering, Julius still had a hint of bewilderment in his tone.
Obviously, he himself doesn't know whether what he is doing now is right or wrong.
Happy ghost! It's already been cleaned up.
Shao Ci said: "If you really want to keep others, you should train yourself, and then explain everything clearly to the other party, right? Those who get it by force will not have a good ending."
That is to say, Julius felt a little simpler, and Shao Ci was rarely tough. If it was someone else, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything about it.
And Shao Ci felt that what he said was very reasonable. He was imprisoned so many times in other worlds... and the ending was...
"As for those people outside..." Shao Ci said: "Do you think they are really happy? They also wanted to pursue freedom... Now they are just compromising like everyone else." He looked up at Julius, "Didn't you too at first?"
Julius froze.
"Don't you also want to pursue freedom and leave this place?" Shao Ci said, "In the end you chose the same path as the lord... Have all your thoughts disappeared now?"
Julius bit his lower lip, recalling his past.
Yeah, he doesn't want these guys to be the same.
But now he is doing this kind of thing. It is indeed ridiculous to imprison the person who has brought light to him here and accompany him forever.
Julius suddenly smiled, "You are right, I am too narrow."
Originally, he just yearned for the other party, but such an approach would only ruin Shao Ci.
Shao Ci: "!"
"I can't leave here anymore." Julius said, as the avatar of the lord, leaving this illusion is estimated to have only one death word, "But you are different, only you can..."
Just when Julius was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, "He's here."
Shao Ci: "..." Lord
Julius directly took out the key from his clothes, inserted it into the lock, and took another deep look at Shao Ci.
Shao Ci: "Thank you..."
Shao Ci really didn't expect that he would succeed in persuading him! This was the first time he had traveled through so many worlds.
Julius smiled when he heard his thanks. There was a sense of relief in this smile, and it was a little warmer than the previous smile.
"You... don't come back again." Julius said in a low voice, he looked at Shao Ci with reluctance in his eyes, but in the end he stretched out his hand and pushed towards Shao Ci.
When being touched by the opponent's hand, Shao Ci only felt that his body was lightened, and he was about to leave this illusion.
When he was about to disappear, he seemed to see a vague figure of the lord.
After Shao Ci's body disappeared, the lord appeared outside the door.
"You let him go without authorization." The lord's eyes turned cold.
Julius didn't speak.
"I thought you had already figured it out." The lord sneered, "In the end, you still can't do it?"
"I don't regret it." Julius whispered.
"You are so ridiculous." The lord's eyes became colder, and some unpleasant past events seemed to emerge in his mind.
"Obviously I've given you a chance to redeem what happened before." The lord said, "But you don't know how to cherish it at all... you won't regret it, huh, that's just you being confused. Forget it, leave you alone." Such a waste is useless, it’s just a doppelgänger.”
Julius closed his eyes, he knew that he was really going to disappear from this world this time.
—
After Shao Ci opened his eyes, he found himself back in the previous secret room.
When he looked at the pocket watch again, he threw it away as if he was looking at some hot potato.
No matter how powerful this thing is, he doesn't want to touch it again! !
Then Shao Ci looked at the sleeping young man in the coffin in front of him, and patted his face with his hand, "It's time for you to wake up."
However, even if he slapped the lord's handsome face swollen left and right, the other party had no intention of waking up.
Shao Ci:? ?
[After testing, the main body of the lord is not here.]The system's voice sounded, [The body in front of the host is just a shell, and it cannot be used to complete the inheritance.]
"What, what??" Shao Ci was stunned, "Where would it be if it wasn't here?"
[It may be in any corner of this ruin.]
"How could I find it!"
This ruin is not small! And I don't know how many basements there are. No matter how strong Shao Ci's mental power is, it will take a lot of time to find them every day, not to mention that there may be a magic circle to block the search of spiritual power.
"Hey, why is it so difficult." Shao Ci sighed, only to find that the pocket watch he threw on the ground glowed with a different color this time.
When Shao Ci just wanted to rejoice that he had already lost this broken watch and no longer had to be teleported there—
[Host, your chance has come. This kind of thing just needs to ask yourself. ] The sound of the system sounded.
Shao Ci: "..."
He just came out, and he wants to go back again? ? However, the system makes sense.
So Shao Ci had no choice but to pick up the pocket watch with the idea of sacrificing himself.
In the light, he was teleported again.
After opening his eyes, this time it was not a cage as expected, nor a familiar room.
It's a... a city illuminated by the sun, and there are many pedestrians from the demon race walking on the street.
Obviously, the scene was similar to the first time he was driven into an illusion by a pocket watch, but he could tell subconsciously that everything in front of him was real and not a so-called illusion.
Even that illusion is very real, but there is a weird feeling everywhere, which makes people feel uncomfortable all at once.
"This is me, where did I go?" Shao Ci couldn't help being a little surprised, this was completely different from what he imagined, he thought the lord should be planning to catch him directly.
Although Shao Ci didn't know what he had done, it was enough to make the lord feel resentful towards him...
[The pocket watch just erupted with a force that brought the host back hundreds of years. ] The system explained it this way.
Shao Ci: "..."
