After Tang Ning heard the mysterious being's answer, he became even more confused.
What logic does this make
So there's no need to fight this guy to death, just cry and you can get the source of light? Isn't this too illogical
unless…
"Who are you?" Tang Ning looked into those golden eyes nervously. Is this mysterious being his prince
The mysterious being looked at Tangning quietly, his golden eyes still cold, "Don't you remember?"
It seems like they have many stories before.
Tangning hesitated, "Mo Yunchu?"
Mysterious existence: “?”
Tangning continued to signal, "Qi Yun?"
Mysterious existence: “???”
Tangning frowned and spoke as fluently as if she was reading out the names of dishes: "Gong Yun? Shao Mingxuan? Gengxi? Su Anyun? Number 1?"
Mysterious existence: “???”
The air fell into silence for a long time. The pair of golden eyes narrowed slightly, and the mysterious being slowly said: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, but... suddenly, I feel very unhappy."
The pressure was so intense that it was about to freeze into ice. Tangning forced out an awkward yet polite smile. In his heart, he desperately asked himself: What is going on?!
Tang Ning felt that "he" must know something.
"You seem to, really, not remember." The bright golden eyes suddenly dimmed for no reason.
The next moment, the light faded from Lin Yun's body like a tide. Lin Yun looked at Tang Ning in shock, as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream.
Tang Ning looked around. The butler and the Duke were both frozen in place and unable to move. The same was true for the undead horse. However, the mysterious being disappeared. If he hadn't been holding the flower in his hand, Tang Ning would have suspected that everything that happened before was just an illusion.
"What happened just now?" Lin Yun shook his head vigorously and asked Tangning, "What should we do now?"
"I don't know either. Let's leave first." Tang Ning and Lin Yun got off their horses. Lin Yun ran madly with Tang Ning on his back. Not long after they left, the Duke, the butler, the undead horses and even the formation on the ground suddenly began to dim!
The brilliant light went out in an instant, and a dark figure emerged from the ground.
It cannot be said that this figure is completely dark, as golden light occasionally flashes inside him, but this light seems to only appear when he is talking to himself -
"He still remembers last night."
"I like him tonight."
"I don't know."
“Why give the flowers directly to him?”
"He cried."
"Don't you think he looks pretty when he cries?"
"… "
"You obviously like him very much. You are so hypocritical and pathetic. No matter what he becomes, no matter whether he will kill you or not, you love him hopelessly."
"… "
The smooth-talking voice suddenly laughed, "Yeah. He's so weak now, do you want to arrest him?"
"No… "
"You obviously want to keep him."
"No."
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” The black shadow laughed so hard that he fell backwards with joy. He felt like he had heard a huge joke. If he were a living person, he would probably have laughed to tears. “If you didn’t, how could you have only given him one source of light?”
"Give him one portion, don't you hope he'll come back tomorrow for the second portion, and the day after tomorrow for the third portion?"
"You're so hypocritical. You're so pathetic."
The slow voice weakly defended: "Only..."
"You were just extremely angry. When you heard him say the names of those men, you couldn't control yourself. You could accept that he wanted to kill you, but you couldn't accept that he forgot about you completely and fell in love with someone else."
"he… "
"You wish to kill all those people, you wish to imprison him forever in this forbidden place - you don't need to refute it anymore, just you, just you, this kind of hypocritical etiquette does not need to be used between you, right, Master Priest?"
"..." The voice that always spoke slowly suddenly became smoother, because he no longer needed to suppress his inner desires word by word. The cold voice without any human touch suddenly became tinged with a faint smile, "How hypocritical, how pathetic."
…
Tang Ning had no idea what happened in the forbidden area after he left. He and Lin Yun walked hurriedly outside the castle, always on guard against any monsters jumping out.
Although he was extremely nervous along the way, he finally arrived at the ancient castle safely. This time when Tang Ning raised his head and looked at the top of the tower, there were only two corpses hanging on the top of the tower!
Tang Ning's heart was beating violently. The corpse hanging on the top of the tower was like some kind of death countdown.
If he remembered correctly, there should be seven corpses hanging during the day on the first day of the copy.
On the first night of the copy, the number of hanging corpses increased to six.
Then, the number of corpses in the second day of the copy became five, and the number of corpses in the second night of the copy became four.
Now is the third day of the copy. When walking out of the castle before the night falls, Tang Ning clearly remembers that there were three corpses hanging on the spire. Now, there are only two left.
The number of corpses is not decreasing according to the time pattern
Tang Ning frowned. If this were the case, then tomorrow, on the fourth night, all the bodies on the top of the tower would disappear. What would happen then
"Tangning?" Lin Yun lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to go in?"
Tang Ning still kept looking up at the top of the tower. From this copy, he seemed to have been following "his" pace. Even if he took the initiative to test, his dimension was somewhat limited to the path provided by "him".
If he still simply listened to "him" tonight, then he would fight to the death with that mysterious existence, and it is very likely that he would not be able to defeat him, and Lin Yun would be injured or even die.
The mysterious being seemed easy to talk to and gave him the source of light right away.
This shows that listening to "him" is not a good solution.
Perhaps, he could try a path that "he" had never mentioned before.
"Lin Yun," Tangning said softly, "Do you think we should climb to the top of the tower—"
Lin Yun couldn't believe what he heard. He stared at Tangning in shock. He could only see Tangning's perfect profile as she tilted her head back. "Go see what's hanging there?"
"He" remained silent.
“Are you crazy?” Lin Yun lowered his voice and said cautiously, “The monsters up there are very powerful at first glance. If we go up there, we will most likely be in danger.”
"But," Tangning lowered her head and looked at Lin Yun, "Today, half of the A-level instance has already passed, and we still haven't figured out what's on it."
"I'm worried. If I don't go and see today, I might not have a chance tomorrow." Tang Ning told Lin Yun his speculation that the number of corpses would decrease every day.
If this guess is correct, there will be only one corpse left during the day tomorrow, and no corpse at all at night.
"Then let's go and see it tomorrow. Didn't you say that this body of yours has the Eye of Truth? We can see the things hanging on the top of the tower during the day." Among all the players, only Tang Ning could see the corpse on the top of the tower during the day, while other players could only see it at night.
Lin Yun held Tangning's shoulders and said, "The risk factor during the day is definitely lower than at night."
Tangning shook his head. "No, if the corpse's condition at night is different from that during the day, then tonight will be our only chance to observe what the corpse's condition is like at night."
Lin Yun grabbed Tang Ning's shoulders tightly. He knew that what Tang Ning said was very likely right. "But it's too dangerous. If you must go, climb up and take a look. With Si Tai's protection, you don't have to worry about being contaminated."
"We have to go up as well. We can use the Soul Fire and if we really encounter any danger, we can stop it." Tang Ning said seriously.
“But…” Lin Yun wanted to stop him, but he couldn’t come up with any rebuttal for a while.
Because from the current situation, it is a good idea for the two of them to go up together. Tang Ning's soul fire can be used for attacking, while Lin Yun can be responsible for carrying Tang Ning and running away.
Finally, Lin Yun nodded, "Okay, I drew a card skill called rock climbing before, so I can carry you up there."
They decided to climb up directly from the outside of the castle, so as to avoid the monsters wandering inside the castle.
Before going up, Tang Ning tried hard to recall the feeling after using his soul last night. He planned to ignite the soul fire first, otherwise it would be a big problem if he encountered danger at the top of the tower and was unable to use the fire like before.
First of all, your heart should not be filled with the fear you have now, right
Tang Ning remembered that last night when "he" taught him how to use the soul fire, he first asked him to ride the undead horse to run around to adjust his mood. He also asked him to turn his head and asked him if he was afraid of the skeleton army following behind him. Tang Ning was calm at that time.
The reason why Tang Ning failed in facing the mysterious existence tonight was probably because he was too nervous and scared.
Then, should we recall the painful memories of the past
Tang Ning closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the memories he didn't want to recall. After a while, the familiar feeling of last night emerged in his body and flowed through Tang Ning's right hand. A cluster of pale flames burned silently in the darkness.
Tang Ning opened his eyes. He had been unable to support himself for too long. Even though the flame did not burn anything, it just floated quietly in his palm, draining Tang Ning's strength every second.
It is hard to imagine how powerful his foundation must be to allow the fire of his soul to burn so long and so vigorously.
"Let's go." Tangning looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun carried Tang Ning on his back and climbed up the castle quickly like a gecko. The cold evening breeze blew on Tang Ning and Lin Yun. Tang Ning heard fierce gunshots coming from inside the castle. Jiang Mianmian and the others must have encountered monsters again. However, with the monk and Christian tonight, those two guys were very strong, so Tang Ning was not very worried about his teammates.
What he needs to worry about now is him and Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, who was climbing rapidly, paused for a moment, because he had already climbed to the sixth floor of the castle, and they would soon be able to get close to the corpse on the top of the tower.
With a thin layer of sweat on his palms, Lin Yun continued to climb up.
A cold breath surged across the back of my neck.
Tang Ning, who was lying on Lin Yun's back, slowly raised his head and saw a pair of feet swaying in front of him.
