"It's you... I saw you in the 'grave', and you have indeed left the reverse realm."
After the man on the bed finished speaking, there was a violent cough. After a while, he stopped coughing, touched the cup next to him, and took a sip of water.
If Tianyang were here now, he would definitely be very surprised, because the person on the bed is Weichengzhou.
The man who once presided over the alien god experiment and chased Xue Yan in the tomb was now so skinny that only a tall frame remained. He could no longer feel Xing Yun's breath, and even his life was about to leave him.
As for the person sitting opposite him, it was naturally Su Lie.
After leaving the Deep Sea Castle, Su Lie returned to the wilderness. After rounds of detailed investigations, he found some clues left by Yuan Shu and the others, and found Wei Chengzhou.
"Yes, it's me."
Su Lie said in a leisurely manner: "It seems that you have been abandoned. How about being treated like a piece of 'clothes' that can be taken off at any time? It doesn't feel good."
Wei Chengzhou didn't get angry. Now that he was skinny, he had to use all his strength to breathe. This made his breathing like a bellows, making a huge sound in this simple room.
He smiled and said: "I had no choice at the time."
"If I don't agree, I won't be able to get out of the 'grave' and will die there immediately."
"Believe me, it would have been the best choice for you to die in the grave at that time."
Su Lie's eyes didn't waver at all: "At least, you can die as a 'human being'."
"I couldn't do it. At that time, I still had many unfinished things and too many unfinished wishes. No matter what, I couldn't choose the ending of dying in the 'grave'."
Wei Chengzhou shrank: "Can you light a fire for me? In this damn weather, no matter how much I keep warm, the wind will always find a gap to blow in. I even feel that they can blow into my body and into my bones." echoed in time.”
There was no pity or sympathy in Su Lie's eyes, but he stood up, lit a fire in a stove in the house, and then closed the window on one side to increase the temperature in the house.
"Thanks."
Wei Chengzhou smiled and said: "In addition to not wanting to die, I also felt that I could control that ancient will. I have confidence in myself. The confidence comes from the ancient, remaining will during the Ability God experiment. Information revealed by will.”
"I felt I could control it, so I agreed to let it enter my body."
Su Lie sat back on the chair: "Everyone who agrees to let those things enter their body always has one or another reason. Among them, there are not a few people who have this idea like you."
Wei Chengzhou nodded gently: "It didn't feel that bad at first. After the thing came in, I felt a little itchy, but other than that... it's gone."
"Everything is under my control, my thoughts, my will, my body. As for that thing, it just provides a way to leave the 'grave', reveals some little secrets, and gives away some wonderful knowledge ”
"At that time, I had a belief that I could crush the world under my feet. I didn't even have to go back to Qingtian Castle, and I no longer had to obey Yuan Shu's orders."
Su Lie looked at his face with sunken eye sockets, bulging cheekbones, pale skin in other parts, but unnatural blush on both sides of his cheeks, and said calmly: "But you are back."
Wei Chengzhou tightened the quilt around him, put his hands to his mouth and breathed softly: "Yes, I finally chose to go back."
Come. I have never forgotten that I am a soldier, nor have I forgotten Yuan Shu's ambition. "
"Even though I have become a 'skin bag', I still think his idea is feasible. More importantly, I hope that through him, I can truly control the things in my body."
"After considering various factors, yes, I lurked into the Expeditionary Force. The knowledge it gave me allowed me to easily sneak into the base vehicle without being discovered."
Wei Chengzhou showed an expression of nostalgia for the past: "The time before returning to the fortress can be said to be the most wonderful time in my life. At that time, I felt that I could do anything. Even if I appeared in front of those idiots, They can't see through me either."
"It feels like, like..."
Su Lie continued for him: "It's like you have become a god, you are omnipotent, you control everything."
There was a light in Wei Chengzhou's eyes, as if he had returned to that wonderful time before. He nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's it."
"hehe... "
Su Lie chuckled: "Those are all illusions. Every one of those things in the 'grave' is extremely cunning. After they get the skin, they will hide themselves and even make you forget their existence."
"Then it hides behind and uses its abilities and knowledge to satisfy Skin's various demands. They will even make Skin think that these are its own powers, thus losing itself and becoming intoxicated in a dream that it cannot extricate itself from. ”
"When you are completely immersed in dreams, suddenly one day, they will turn your dreams into nightmares."
The light in Wei Chengzhou's eyes suddenly disappeared, like a candle blown out in the wind. He huddled up and said tremblingly: "Yes, it deceived me. Now, it is deceiving Yuan Shu again."
"After it abandoned me and entered Yuan Shu's body, I warned him. I said look at me. Before long, you will end up with the same fate as me."
"Your Xingyun and your vitality will be completely absorbed by it. But Yuan Shu doesn't care. He thinks he can control that thing, just like me back then."
Wei Chengzhou suddenly looked at Su Lie: "Go to Jingtang Castle, Yuan Shu is heading there now. Although that thing abandoned me, I also learned some information about it during the time I coexisted with it."
"It is the lord of fear, it is a disaster sacrifice. It wants to create disasters, because disasters, as well as the fear, anger, and sadness that people have in disasters, will become its food."
"It will grow from this and eventually become a god. A complete god from another world who no longer needs a skin!"
Su Lie nodded, stood up and said, "Do you need me to help you?"
Wei Chengzhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."
After a while, Su Lie came out of the house. He took out a communication device, sent a message, and then walked along the way he came.
Soon, he saw the old man.
The old man was drinking and eating meat.
Today is a rare carnival in the town. People can live a contented day. As for the hardships of tomorrow and beyond, there is no need to think about it now.
"Would you like some?" The old man shook the bottle.
Su Lie smiled slightly: "No, I have something to do and I have to hurry up."
"By the way, the man in that house is dead. Can you help me bury him?"
As he spoke, Su Lie threw out a golden object from his cloak.
The old man reached out to catch it, looked down and was stunned.
bullion.
A golden gold bar, its weight is enough for the people in this town to not have to worry about food and drink for at least the next year.
Of course, it can’t be too extravagant.
When the old man raised his head again, he could still see Su Lie's figure.
Qingtian Castle.
In the city lord's office, behind the desk where documents were piled like a mountain, a burly figure suddenly stood up.
Night Walker Commander and Acting City Lord Chu Yan shouted: "Quit!"
"Call Cao Gang and let him be the acting city lord!"
In the office, behind a desk, Han Shu scratched his messy head and said, "Commander, please save it. This is the first time you have gone on strike this week."
"At this time, Cao Gang is still under investigation. How can he take your position?"
Chu Yan immediately pointed at Han Shu: "Then you do it."
"No, no, I don't have the qualifications." Han Shu quickly waved his hands, what a joke, he was caught by the old commander to help, and had to work overtime until 11 o'clock every night. If he were to assume the position of acting city lord, he might not even be able to return home.
The old man sat back and sighed: "That little girl Feimei just said 'I'm going to practice' and ran away. Otherwise, she would be more suitable for this job than me."
"I was afraid of trouble back then, so I went to Nightcrawler. Why do I have to do what I hate the most now? I'm an old man. I should retire at home now to plant flowers and raise fish."
Han Shu muttered: "You don't see any flowers or fish at home."
"What did you say!"
"No no."
Chu Yan started thinking again: "Actually, I have a more suitable candidate. That guy might be better than me now, and he has a pretty good mind. If I let him take my position, I can be relieved."
"Who is it, Commander?"
"You don't know even if you tell me."
At this time, there was a short sound in the drawer, and Chu Yan said "Huh" and took out a communication device.
Originally a message was sent.
The message is simple, just one sentence.
'He went to Stormwind Keep. '
The old commander shouted and stood up: "Quick, call the man named Long over here."
Han Shu didn't ask 'why' and immediately ran out of the door and left.
Chu Yan put down the communication phone and said with a smile: "I know this kid can do things. When this matter is over, I can either lie or tie him up, but I have to get this kid back so that I can get out of my misery." ”
Not long after, Long Xuanyuan, the city lord of Longyan Castle and one of the members of the Golden Chamber, strode into the office.
Chu Yan looked at him and said: "Good news, we have discovered Yuan Shu, and he went to Jingtao Castle."
Long Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, this is the news brought back by our best spy, and it's not wrong at all."
Long Xuanyuan nodded, turned around and left.
Chu Yan took out his communication machine and sent a message.
Su Lie, who was far away in the wilderness, was driving a magnetic car he got from an old man alone, when he saw the communication phone thrown on the seat next to him buzzing, with some text messages on it.
'Long Xuanyuan has been informed that the old boy will secretly leave for Castle of Storms. After this is over, come back and I have something to say. '
Su Lie smiled and looked in front of the car in the direction of Castle of Thunder.
