In the Lord's Mansion.
It was getting late, and the guards were patrolling the gate of the mansion. Suddenly, one of them noticed something flashing in the grass beside him, and hurriedly chased after it.
After the guard ran over, there was nothing around. He looked around, but he was not particularly vigilant.
After all, who wouldn't think about what to do to the Lord's Mansion.
Seeing that there was nothing there, the guard turned around and wanted to go back. A black silk thread suddenly stretched out from the shadow behind him, entangled the guard in an instant, and dragged him into the shadow. The guard didn't even have time to let out a scream, and had completely disappeared on the ground.
It didn't take long before another figure emerged from the shadow. It was distorted at first, but it quickly merged together and became the same as the previous guard.
The 'guard' looked down at his surroundings, his eyes showed no emotion, but soon, he changed into the same expression as the previous guard, and walked back with a relaxed smile on his face.
After the other people saw the 'guard', they asked about the situation a little bit, and he explained in the same tone as the previous guard, and then walked directly into the mansion.
No one noticed anything strange about him along the way.
"Is this the place where the teacher lived recently?" The 'guard' looked at the surrounding scene, his eyes seemed to be tainted with light.
This 'guard' is naturally Erek.
During this period of time, Erek has figured out a lot of ways to use his own power without a teacher. Not only can he devour other people's souls, he can even obtain other people's memory and power after that.
If other people know what happened to him during this period, they will definitely be shocked and afraid. This is not just an ordinary genius, he is simply a natural strongman. As long as he is given time to grow, it is impossible to imagine what will happen in the future. become what.
If he hadn't been born with that prophecy on his back, everything wouldn't be what it is now.
After Erek read the guard's soul, he knew everything about the Lord's Mansion, and he knew exactly where his destination was.
But what Eric cares most about in that memory is about Shao Ci, and it can be clearly seen how harmonious the relationship between Shao Ci and Julius is in this memory.
But now Erek will not feel unhappy because of this, after all, soon, everything about the other party will belong to him.
"Teacher, I'll be back by your side soon..." He murmured in a low voice, with a sunny smile on his face.
...
…
By the time Julius realized something was wrong around him, it was too late.
He was already in the darkness, and what appeared in front of him was a young man about his age. The other person's appearance was still somewhat familiar, and the resonance of the blood in his body always made him feel that the other person's identity must have something to do with him. relation.
Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, the killing intent was very clear.
Julius wouldn't just sit here and wait to die. He wanted to do it right away, but felt a terrifying force that forced him to kneel down on the ground, making it difficult to breathe.
What kind of opponent is this... Julius even felt that the strength of the opponent was somewhat more terrifying than his father.
"You lost." Erek looked condescendingly at the person in front of him, as if examining his future body, his eyes did not seem to be staring at a living person at all.
Julius said vigilantly, "What are you trying to do?"
"I just want to get back what belongs to me." Eric said casually.
Julius was slightly taken aback, "What?"
"My teacher." Erek sighed, and said, "If it wasn't for you, why would he abandon me? It's all because of you, but now it's over..."
As soon as Julius's face changed, he could of course immediately realize who the other party was referring to, and his tone suddenly became a little angry, and he even retorted without caring about other meanings in the other party's words: "He is not Something that belongs to you. It doesn't belong to anyone else...”
For Julius, although it may be because Shao Ci saved him at the beginning, he had a good impression of him, but after all this time, for some reason, he liked him more and more... It is precisely because of this, Julius could not tolerate Erek's attitude.
"Really?" Erek didn't quite understand what Julius said.
But even if the person in front of him was his younger brother, it was no different from a stranger to Erek. As for getting everything from the other party in place of the other party's identity, Erek doesn't think there is any problem, he only wants to get what he wants.
"But no matter what, you can only die here now."
It has been a while since Shao Ci was asked by the lord to have a conversation.
"You haven't found Erek yet..." Shao Ci now knew that it was impossible for the other party to be killed by any passer-by casually. If he was still the same person, it is impossible not to find him back.
Now there is only one possibility, that is, Erek has awakened his power, and... It is said that the people sent to look for him have disappeared, and they are probably dead.
Under such circumstances, Shao Ci had a faint feeling that something big was about to happen, which made him a little flustered.
But Shao Ci feels that he can't change anything... After all, history can't be changed so easily.
Then there was a knock on the door, and the figure of Julius appeared outside the door, he ran in quickly, and grabbed Shao Ci's hand.
"What's wrong?" Shao Ci didn't feel anything strange, after all, Julius often pestered him to act like a baby.
The other party was silent, just rubbed against his arm.
Shao Ci smiled, feeling in his heart that he really did not expect that such a cruel lord in the future would still act like a baby in the past, and asked, "Is it because you are not feeling well?"
"No..." Julius said sullenly, "I just feel, really want to do this..."
If it was the previous body, he would absolutely not be able to do such a thing. The closer he was, the more he could feel the warm breath on the other person's body, and he couldn't help being a little addicted to it.
Shao Ci rubbed his hair subconsciously, and then said: "If you don't want to practice magic, it's okay to be lazy, but it will be troublesome if the lord finds out."
'Julius' was silent for a moment, and finally whispered.
"He won't find out."
"Hmm." Although Shao Ci felt something was wrong with the other party's tone, he just thought it was because the child was afraid of being caught lazy, and he didn't think deeply at all.
But Shao Ci didn't notice the cold light shining in the eyes of Julius who was beside him.
"Are you... going to leave?" Julius suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Shao Ci said, "Of course I will. I'm only staying here temporarily, but I shouldn't have to worry about this issue recently."
"Then can you take me with you when you leave?" Julius raised his head and looked over steadily.
After suffering from the past, Shao Ci will not easily agree to such a thing now! It's like setting up a flag, and something will happen if you say it.
"Why do you have such an idea?" Shao Ci was also a little surprised, "You are the young master of the lord's mansion, the only heir, how could you leave with me. It is enough for you to stay here. It is not impossible Meet… "
The last sentence is true! They all meet in the future! Although many unpleasant things have happened.
"Because I don't want to be separated from you..." Julius said sullenly, "Can't you stay with me?"
Shao Ci laughed, he didn't expect the side effect of the ability to be so strong... After that, as long as there is no communication, the favorability will drop back... Is it the relationship between him and Julius who have had too much contact recently to increase the favorability?
I don’t know if I’ve gained favorability here, but when I get back, can Julius let him go because everyone’s relationship is okay...
Shao Ci also thought that a high degree of favorability could cause tragedy, so he immediately said, "It's just that you were confused for a while, this is the place you should stay. I'm just a passer-by who hasn't known you for long , you are only relying on me because of your recovery from illness, and you will soon forget about such things."
"Hmm..." Julius lowered his head, "I see."
He knows it. Sure enough, even if you do this step, you can't achieve your goal.
He has already seen that Shao Ci has no intention of staying for anyone at all, he has always regarded himself as an outsider from the beginning to the end... This is indeed the case, from the very beginning when he rescued himself, he brought a A sense of distance.
If this is the case... this is not going to work.
Then can he think of any way to keep the other party completely
—
When he woke up, Shao Ci realized that something was wrong.
There seemed to be a strange atmosphere around him, and he felt a dull pain in his mind, subconsciously telling him that something bad must have happened now.
"What the hell is going on..."
This is the Lord's Mansion, can something happen? !
When Shao Ci left the door of the room, he saw the black mist lingering everywhere, and the servants who were unconscious on the ground all around.
Shao Ci: "..." Why did he just sleep for one night, as if he missed a lot of things! ! What happened? Was the Lord's Mansion copied? !
Shao Ci immediately put some protective magic on himself, and walked down vigilantly. When he came to the center of the hall, he saw the demon clan lying in a pool of blood at a glance... Isn't that the lord
Even the lord who can be said to be the most corrupt under the devil has become like this? ! Although it seems that the strength may not be so powerful because of the inheritance system, but it is not so casual to die!
Shao Ci was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he rushed over quickly, looked down at the lord who seemed to still have a faint breath, and quickly tried to heal him with his supernatural power.
But just by inputting a little power, he felt that the power in his body was disappearing at an extremely fast speed, and it might not take long for him to run out of power.
Shao Ci immediately gave up the idea of saving people... It is estimated that the death of the lord cannot be stopped, and he should not change his fate against the sky, anyway, it doesn't matter to everyone...
However, the lord was still awakened by Shao Ci's ability, and seemed to be able to linger for a while. He struggled to look over, and when he saw it was Shao Ci, he said with difficulty: "It seems that you saved me..."
Shao Ci: "Well..." Although you are going to die again soon.
"Cough cough cough..." the lord said, "No, I never thought that he would leave this world in such a state..."
"Wait! Lord Lord!" Shao Ci suddenly realized something, "What happened here? Who did it..."
"It's him...cough coughcough..." As the lord spoke, blood flowed from his mouth, and he squeezed his hand tightly, "Now, no one can stop him... maybe only you..."
He glanced at Shao Ci again, as if using all his strength, he sent a ball of light over.
In an instant, the picture in the light sphere clearly appeared in Shao Ci's mind.
It actually contains the memory of the lord, and not only the most recent memory, but even more than ten years ago.
It turned out that when the lord's child was born, there was only one, not twins, and the prophecy was about this child... Later, after something happened, the lord couldn't bear to kill his own child, so he used forbidden techniques to kill him. The power is separated from the main body, but the power that should have dissipated directly has condensed into another child.
In any case, it is impossible to kill the child transformed by that power, and it is absolutely impossible to let him come into contact with the main body, so he was put in a slum where it is easy to monitor...
That body is naturally Julius. And the child that power turned into is, of course... Erek.
After reading this memory, Shao Ci was stunned. Is there such an operation? ! So Erek and Julius are one person at all...? ? No, no, I don't know whether Erek is an individual or not.
The images after that flooded into his mind again.
It is the perspective of falling on the ground, surrounded by blood, and it seems that some painful gasps can be heard. And when the person looked up, what appeared in the blurred vision was Julius, who was smiling and looked very sunny.
Shao Ci woke up suddenly, and the lord lying on the ground coughed a few more times, "I didn't expect that things would develop like this... I hope you, I hope you can... give that child a relief..."
After the words fell, the lord died completely.
Shao Ci only felt chills all over his body, and he felt as if he had fallen into a pit... Julius, who was talking to him before, will have no problem...
Then, footsteps sounded, Shao Ci raised his head suddenly, and saw Julius slowly walking down the wide stairs, with an innocent and sunny smile on his face, "Teacher, I found you. "
But his smile obviously didn't make Shao Ci feel much easier, on the contrary, he thought it looked creepy.
Shao Ci took a step back, his face turned pale, "You are... Erek."
"Teacher, did you finally recognize me?" 'Julius' smiled happily, and quickly ran down, "Teacher, do you like me now? If you don't like me, you can change back."
Shao Ci: "No, you, why on earth are you doing this?"
"I do this? Of course it's to stay with the teacher forever." Erek blinked, as if looking forward to his appearance as usual, "Whoever the teacher likes, I can become whoever... In this way Will you hate me? You won't abandon me."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong..." Shao Ci once again realized that he shouldn't save people next time, and he shouldn't think that he is good to others, so he made a decision without authorization, and he shouldn't feel that he will leave immediately. never mind…
The problem now is that he may not be able to leave! !
