The next day, early morning.
Chen Rui opened his eyes. He had a strange dream last night. He couldn't remember many things clearly. The most impressive thing was the magic tent in the dream. The woman in the tent was sometimes Christina, sometimes Ah Xina, for a while it was replaced by the two sisters Xi Ya, and for a while it seemed to be replaced by "Let's come together", the content is quite, very, very very unsuitable for children.
Why have even dreams become so evil recently? Chen Rui scratched his head, but the situation of the in-depth analysis yesterday was a bit strange. The analysis of the God-eating mask failed. There was an extra light screen in front of the throne, and there was a progress meter inside, showing that the progress of the in-depth analysis was 0%.
There is also a reminder on the side: "The number of in-depth analysis can be automatically set according to the mental strength. At present, it is recommended to do it once a day."
After Chen Rui confirmed, a reminder came from his consciousness again: "There is a large amount of unknown energy left in the star-eating mode, and there is a danger of overflow. Do you want to activate the star mode?"
Chen Rui was surprised. Sure enough, the star-eating mode is not endless. The last time he absorbed Groven's spiritual power, he swallowed the power of the God-eating mask last night. If it "overflows", the consciousness will definitely suffer some kind of terrible backlash, even It is the loss of self. So what is Huaxing mode? In any case, the big problem of eating stars must be solved as soon as possible.
Huaxing mode: decompose and absorb the energy obtained by eating stars, and gradually strengthen the controller. The process is irreversible and cannot be interrupted after activation. Condition: Consume 10,000 aura per day.
Chen Rui was overjoyed and turned it into his own use! Isn't this the same as Huagong Dafa or Beiming Shengong in martial arts novels? No, it is even better than these martial arts. It can automatically and gradually strengthen itself intelligently, without the need to "exercise" alone.
The frequency of in-depth analysis is not high. Although the mask on the face is a bit troublesome, and even making out with Athena is a problem, the most important thing is to solve the big problem of eating stars first.
The system prompts that the Huaxing mode is expected to start for 100 days, and 1 million aura needs to be deducted in advance, and the decomposed power will be automatically absorbed by the body every day.
Such a good thing, even if it costs 10 million auras, it is worth it! After Chen Rui confirmed the activation, the aura was deducted by 1 million, and on the light screen showing the in-depth analysis, there was another progress meter, which was in Huaxing mode, and it was currently 0%.
However, after a hundred days, he will be able to digest all the huge power obtained by Devouring Stars for his own use. At that time, it might be possible to rely on these powers to become the Great Demon King!
When Chen Rui thought of the power displayed by Xi Ya, he couldn't help but feel a burst of heat in his heart. After counting the time, it was already morning, so he immediately walked out of the room on the basement floor and came to the hall.
Araux was in the hall, and when he saw Chen Rui, he immediately reported to the police what happened last night. Sure enough, the whole city was now under martial law, and all people wearing masks were thoroughly investigated. Shia focused on the cloak meeting, not because she doubted "Agulie", but because of the popularity of the cloak meeting, there were too many people in the city who were dressed like this.
As the reserve team of the Imperial Guard, the Cloak Society naturally cooperated very well with this operation. After thoroughly investigating the association, it began to assist the Imperial Guard in a full-scale search of the entire city, but naturally found nothing.
Not long after, Araux left quickly after accepting some order. After thinking for a while, Chen Rui called Vasasa up from the room on the basement floor. As expected, she still looked blankly waiting to be slaughtered.
"Sit." Chen Rui fully unfolded the power breath of the demon king's level, as if intending to deter.
Vasasa didn't notice this at all, as if nothing around her could arouse her emotional fluctuations, she sat down like a puppet.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?"
"..."
"I command you to answer."
"yes."
"Isn't it better to follow me than Joseph?"
"..."
"I command you to answer!"
"yes."
…
In addition to answering "yes" dully, Vasasa never had a second answer.
This attitude made Chen Rui feel as if his fist was hitting the cotton, and he was very depressed. He asked a few more questions, but it was still the same, and he couldn't achieve the desired purpose of testing.
Chen Rui's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the next room, then suddenly turned around and said, "There's news I didn't want to tell you, but seeing your boring appearance, I'd rather make you happy. This is Alao Max only heard about it this morning, when I took you away yesterday, Royce tried to follow us, but was killed by Joseph."
"Yes." Vasasa still replied, but Chen Rui could clearly feel that his voice was trembling.
Chen Rui added another sentence: "I heard that before he died, he kept calling your name."
Two lines of tears finally slipped from the corners of Vasasa's eyes uncontrollably, and her whole body trembled slightly.
Chen Rui knew it well, and said: "I learned about your past from Araux, but it's very strange, since you don't have any feelings for Royce, even if you are unhappy now, you should gloat over others' misfortune. Weeping at his death?"
Vasasa's body had stopped trembling, and she was crying quietly, without answering, her eyes became darker, like a body that had completely lost its soul, and even its vitality was being annihilated.
"Interesting, I am more and more interested in you now." Chen Rui held his chin, "You should be able to see that Joseph and I are just using each other. When the conditions are right, I can kill him. , to avenge Royce, but the prerequisite is that you give everything to me without reservation, are you willing?"
Vasasa's eyes flickered, regained some faint brilliance, moved his gaze to Chen Rui's face, and nodded silently.
"Then first, you must tell me what happened with Joseph..."
Vasasa hesitated for a moment, looked at the mask with strong confidence, and finally spoke.
Back then, the patriarch of the Kunda family in the Chiyou territory was killed by Zhuoqie, the lord of Chiyou, because he refused to hand over a certain treasure he got. The Kunda family was deprived of their surnames, and all members became slaves. As Royce's fiancée, Vasasa would not be spared. However, due to a relationship with one person, Vasasa's fate changed and she accidentally became Joseph's maid.
This person was Ledo, the illegitimate son of Royce's father, but this act was not out of good intentions, but a vicious idea. Because Leido hated his father for passing the family business to Royce, he secretly took refuge in Joseph, the son of the lord, and informed the lord Zhuoqie through Joseph, which led to the demise of the entire Kunda family.
Joseph took Ledo's suggestion, lied to Vasasa that Royce was under his control, threatened his life, and gave Vasasa a strange order. This order is to force Vasasa to fall in love with him, and he must be wholehearted. Once she finds that she still has the slightest affection for Royce, he will kill Royce immediately.
Vasasa is introverted and not good at expressing her feelings, but she has always loved Royce with all her heart, just as Royce loved her. She didn't know that Royce had escaped, and in order to save her fiancé's life, she could only force herself to submit to Joseph's possession. Later, when Royce and Araux came to look for her, she thought it was Joseph's temptation. It was not until the two were defeated by Joseph that Vasasa knew that she had been fooled, but Royce had really fallen. After falling into the hands of Joseph, there was nothing he could do, and he could only continue to "love" Joseph wholeheartedly.
In this way, both Vasasa and Royce became Joseph's subordinates. For a hundred years, even if Royce was close at hand, she could not express any emotion and could only reject Royce with indifference. , or protect Royce.
Joseph had promised Vasasa to give her and Royce freedom after becoming the lord of Chiyou, which became her only hope of survival.
Unexpectedly, this dream was completely shattered yesterday. Joseph broke his promise and transferred her to another person like a cargo, forcing her to sign a master-servant contract, completely losing hope of freedom.
She was quite clear about the meaning contained in Joseph's fierce eyes last night. If he didn't sign the master-servant contract, he would kill Royce immediately! However, I only found out this morning that Royce was actually killed!
With her strength, it is impossible to even resist the current master, let alone kill the mighty Joseph. The only thing she can do is to use herself as a bargaining chip to try to get revenge.
Only then did Chen Rui realize that he was completely wrong, and Royce was also completely wrong. Although Vasasa had always been devoted to Joseph, and even though Vasasa had always been extremely indifferent to Royce, from the beginning to the end, this A woman's heart has never changed.
Chen Rui remembered the sentence he left in Xi Ya's missing wind chimes: The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death. But I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you.
For Vasasa, the farthest distance in the world is not only when I stand in front of you but you don't know that I love you, but also when you are clearly in love but can only be a stranger to you.
Compared with Royce's persistence, Vasasa's persistence is stronger. Under the indifferent face, he does not hesitate to burn his own fire. A hundred years have passed, just like before.
"As long as you kill Joseph, I will dedicate my body and heart to you, and I will never betray you in this life." Vasasa's slightly hoarse voice seemed resolute.
"You are wrong, even if I kill Joseph and take your body, your heart is not here." Chen Rui shook his head, "It's like Joseph forced you to fall in love with him, no matter how twisted and forced , love still cannot be changed. If love can be changed like this, it cannot be called love, even if we signed a master-servant contract. You female big devils are all so stubborn."
Speaking of the three words "dead heart", Chen Rui thought of another big female demon who really belonged to him, and tenderness rose in his heart.
Vasasa lowered his head sadly, and suddenly felt that the pressure of the demon king on Chen Rui disappeared.
"Joseph must die, because I didn't want him to live! As for you..." Chen Rui suddenly smiled, and scolded: "That bastard next door, get out of here quickly! If you don't come out again, I will give Vasasa to someone else!"
Just now, there was a deterrent of the demon king's breath, and Vasasa's heart was ashamed, so she didn't feel anyone nearby. Now that the breath dispersed, she suddenly sensed that two people were in the next room, and she didn't know when they came.
Before Vasasha could react from the astonishment, he saw that familiar figure rushing out.
When Vasasha saw this person, he was usually indifferent and reticent, but at this moment he couldn't help but exclaimed. He could hardly believe his eyes, and his gloomy eyes suddenly regained their brilliance.
Royce heard everything next door, and tears filled his eyes. He looked at Vasasa for a moment, and regardless of the presence of Chen Rui and Araux, he took two steps forward and hugged Vasasa tightly. .
It was only then that Vasasa realized that it was not a dream. The icy shell that had lasted for a hundred years melted under this fiery embrace, and also hugged Royce tightly.
Araux was standing behind, rejoicing at the reunion of his friend and Vasasa, when suddenly a figure flashed beside him, and a low voice came: "Araux, come with me for a walk, don't you think Is this room a bit crowded?"
"You are quite right, my master." Araux's voice was full of unprecedented respect.
