This is really embarrassing for me. I am not the kind of person who can speak freely about this kind of words.
However, the matter has come to this point, and it seems that there is no other way. I will tell Catherine the truth, and she will naturally make the decision herself.
Just before I left the touch-up room, Chris called.
The phone vibrates in my trouser pocket.
"Hello?"
I just picked up, and Chris' anxious and panic voice came immediately.
"Is it Miss Rong? Something is wrong. We got in touch with the front line a few minutes ago. An Xuan and the others are in a hard fight. It is said that there have been huge fluctuations in several areas, and distortions have occurred at the junction of Yin and Yang. There is a big crack, and a large number of demons trapped in the underworld have all escaped!"
I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, and my heart beat fast, anxiety and panic hit my heart instantly!
Just when I was thinking about how to tell the pervert, Black and White Impermanence suddenly appeared beside us, which shocked me!
"Miss Rong? Miss Rong, are you okay? Hello?"
When Chris heard that I didn't respond, he thought something had happened to me, and asked worriedly. I quickly responded, indicating that I was fine, but the bad feeling in my heart became more and more obvious!
Especially when I see black and white impermanence, plus what Chris told me, I know something big is going on!
If it wasn't for some urgent matter, how could they have arrived here at this moment by such a coincidence
"Lord Hades, something has happened." Hei Wuchang had a sad face, and when he appeared, he knelt down on his knees and hit his head heavily on the ground!
Chris heard the voice on my end, and seemed to recognize who it was, and immediately said: "How are you negotiating with Catherine? The situation has changed. An Ning has already gone to the front with some ghost exorcists from David's family." , there is no need to delay the return of the Ming Lingjing!"
I gritted my teeth and told him the progress. When he heard that Catherine would lose her life once the Nether Crystal returned to the underworld, Chris fell silent. There was a faint breathing sound, and I almost wondered if he hung up the phone.
"Why… "
He sighed lightly, knowing my embarrassment, and didn't rush me.
"Hurry up, you don't have much time, I'm afraid Patriarch An and Anxuan won't be able to hold on, if the negotiation is over, please message me immediately, and I'll send someone to pick you up right away!"
After that, he hung up the phone. I still noticed the noisy voices of people in the background, the loud noise of things moving, and the sound of rustling things. Chris might be on the speakerphone , packing the needed luggage.
Hei Wuchang kept kneeling on the ground, and he even pulled Bai Wuchang to his side and asked her to kneel with him.
The moment I hung up the phone, the pervert put his arms around his chest, looked at the two people on the ground, and said calmly, "Speak."
"It's because the subordinates are incompetent and failed to complete the task entrusted to us by Lord Hades. When we went to inspect the bottom two floors of the underworld, we found something unusual, but before we could take any countermeasures, a huge explosion appeared in the underworld. The fluctuations, the bottom few evil spirits took this opportunity to escape from the ghost cave to the underworld."
What? !
Heiwuchang's report made my body even colder. Suddenly, I thought of something, and suddenly felt the hairs on my back stand on end, and my goosebumps stood up!
I once remembered that after my pervert successfully dispelled the evil ghost that killed Saya, we all learned that the fluctuations in the underworld here would be involved in the underworld.
They said at the time that the reason for the escape of the evil spirit would be related to this side, so I think the possibility I guessed may be true.
"really."
The pervert frowned, with a serious expression on his face, he looked at Wuchang with cold eyes, and said, "Continue talking, what else did you find?"
The bodies of Heiwuchang and Baiwuchang trembled, and the tone of the pervert was completely different from usual. I looked up at him.
At this time, he was more ruthless and serious than usual, and the biggest difference was his aura.
"The subordinates are incompetent and failed to stop them..."
The pervert raised his hand suddenly, and his mouth was tightly pursed, as if he was holding back something. After a long time, he put his hand down weakly.
"Hua'er, I think the news Chris brought should be the same as what they brought, right?"
He asked me, I nodded, looked at the time, and felt that I had been in the dressing room for a long time, and it was time to go back.
"News came from the front line. A large number of demons escaped from the underworld and came to the world of the sun. The front line collapsed. Chris asked us to bring the Nether Crystal back quickly to stabilize the balance between the two worlds."
I glanced at Black and White Impermanence, and moved closer to the pervert. Although I already had the answer in my heart, I still chose to verify whether what I thought in my heart was correct.
"Sexy ghost, you found me a long time ago, and the order to suppress ghosts should be counted as returning, but this time the incident in the underworld has affected the underworld. You said, there is a gap between our underworld and other underworlds. , is there a certain connection?"
He looked at me with gentle eyes, and he touched my head with admiration.
"Hua'er, I'll talk to you about this matter after everything is settled. I think I'll leave Catherine to you."
…
The pervert asked me to go back first, and he still needs to understand the specific process with Black and White Wuchang.
The coffee in Catherine's cup was long gone. When she saw me coming, she just smiled at me faintly. A mature and vicissitudes of life came over my face, which made me very uncomfortable.
It seemed that the person sitting opposite me was an old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life, not a young girl in her twenties and thirties.
Her eyes seem to be able to see through everything. The lie I told her just now seems to have been seen through by her, and my words and deeds are revealed in her eyes.
"Have you figured out how to convince me?"
Catherine pre-empted the attack and opened her mouth first, causing my prepared speech to be blocked in my throat. I didn't know how to answer, and stayed in my seat with a funny expression.
Seeing this, she chuckled lightly. She covered her mouth with one hand, and put the other hand on her lap. Her eyes looked at me, and she stretched out her hand to signal me to drink the black liquid in the cup that had long since cooled. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll just say it."
"I agree to go with you and return the Nether Crystal to the underworld. If I can protect many people by doing so, I am willing."
Catherine's tone was very relaxed. When I saw her gentle and generous smile, my eyes felt hot. In fact, I can completely fulfill my own selfishness, without telling her the truth, and let her hand over the ghost crystal. Whether she is dead or alive? What does it have to do with me
But, I can't do it, the human heart is made of flesh, I can't be so unfeeling, plus I know about her and Emily, such an excellent, kind, and brave woman, I can't hide it from her, my own Conscience deceived her.
"Ms. Catherine, think about it clearly. Once the Nether Crystal leaves your body and returns to the underworld, you will die instantly!"
I put my hands on the table and said excitedly, staring at her. In fact, I don't want her to agree to this matter from the bottom of my heart.
For the woman in front of me, I can't hate her at all, I can even say that I have admiration for her, and I don't want her to die.
But what I never expected was that we were no longer allowed to think about things, and we were not allowed to procrastinate again and again. The bad news brought by Chris and Impermanence was simply forcing Catherine to make a decision.
If possible, how I wish that the woman in front of me is not the host of the Nether Crystal, she is just an ordinary woman.
After hearing my words, Catherine didn't panic as I expected, nor did she cry. There was no sadness or surprise on her face. I seemed to see the word "relief" on her body. .
"Do you know, how long have I been waiting for this moment?"
She stood up, walked to my side, put her hands gently on my shoulders, squatted down, and looked at me at the same level.
As soon as Catherine's words fell, my eyes blurred. I bit my lip and said, "Don't you want to live? As long as the Nether Crystal is still in your body, you can live forever, neither old nor dead , you can do a lot of things in your life, and you can see a lot of beautiful things in life, as long as you don't agree, we can't do anything about you."
"Miss Rong." She shook her head and said gratefully to me, "Thank you, you are a good person."
"But, enough, my life is enough."
She put my hands in hers, and her warm, dry palms wrapped around mine.
"Actually, after Emily died, my heart also died with her. She gave me my life, and she let me know that no matter how much darkness there is in the world, there will always be light. .”
"I have lived long enough. A human life is more meaningful when it is short. Infinity will only have endless loneliness and boredom."
The liquid in my eyes dripped onto my clothes. Catherine took a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.
"Don't cry, I think the time is almost up, you can take me there, solve the problem quickly, I can be relieved, and everyone can be relieved."
The pervert has already stood behind me with Black and White Wuchang, and Bai Wuchang heard all Catherine's words, and she lowered her eyes.
Naturally, I didn't miss the loneliness and loneliness hidden in the eyes of perverts. I don't think anyone understands things like longevity better than them.
As high-level spirit bodies in the underworld, they can't understand how they feel after living for so long.
She pulled me up from the seat, and suddenly, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and a layer of faint gold covered her eyes.
She looked at the pervert and Impermanence, and then burst into a bright smile.
I have never seen such a beautiful and gorgeous smile since I was born, and the light in it dazzled my eyes.
