Cheng Lin was not surprised by this. He nodded to his father and had no intention of introducing Qin Shu and me.
Cheng Jiu no longer focused on Qin Shu and me. He turned back again and stared lovingly at the half-human, half-fish woman in his arms.
I watched for a while, my eyes wandering around the woman.
I saw the chain of the soul, just like ordinary people, only nine circles. Different from ordinary people, there are obvious scratches on the chain extending from the end of the ninth circle. Traces were left on the surface of the chain, making the chain that extended into the void lose its luster and look old and damaged.
The woman still has the aura of the Ghost King. The Yin Qi on her body overflowed and turned into Yin Qi particles floating in the air.
In this family of three, all three people have Yin Qi, but they are all different.
The yin energy in Cheng Jiu's body is the same as that of ordinary ghost kings. The yin energy in a woman seems to be unable to attach to her body and can only continue to overflow. The yin energy in Cheng Lin's body is particularly restrained, and it is the most solid type of yin energy.
The three of them have different origins, different soul essences, and have encountered very different things.
They became three different ghost kings.
I seemed to be standing on the dividing line of history and saw the future leading in different directions.
No, I should say that I saw different ghost kings on the same timeline.
Cheng Jiu, his wife, Cheng Lin... This is like the fusion process of two worlds.
The only question is, will Cheng Jiu's wife stay in this state, or will she change as the world merges
She might turn into a ghost king completely, like Cheng Lin now; or she might turn into a monster completely, like Tang Yu.
When I thought about this, I realized that I had forgotten myself and what I wanted to do.
A strange feeling came over me.
Looking at the tender Cheng Jiu, my heart became heavy.
If everything was cleared and started over, it would be impossible for Cheng Jiu and this woman to meet. There is no chance of Cheng Lin.
This kind of encounter between people will no longer exist.
Not just them, there are many people...
If you start from the beginning... start from Liu Che, start from before Liu Che's life...
Many figures and fragments flashed through my memory.
The water flow continued, and the figures of Cheng Jiu and his wife slowly moved away from us.
Qin Shu sighed, made a little sound, and then closed his mouth.
Cheng Lin turned his head, watched his parents leave, and said: "They have been like this for a long time. When my mother is not aggressive, they are like this. When she starts to attack things around her, my father will follow... Dong Fleeing westward. While running away here and there, he still wanted to get close to her and comfort her. He was a little naive and ridiculous."
I feel the same way about Cheng Jiu. In the dream, he was indeed like that when I saw him.
Some are naive, some are ridiculous.
It won't make people feel disgusted.
Cheng Lin added: "What will happen to them if...?"
He didn't say anything about "if", and he probably didn't know what "if" was.
Qin Shu subconsciously looked at me, and then at Cheng Lin, with a complicated look on his face, not hiding his sympathy.
Cheng Lin happened to turn around and was looking at me, but when he turned to the side, he saw Qin Shu.
Qin Shu was a little embarrassed.
"I don't know." I answered honestly, "After I met you and your parents, I felt a little... I don't know what to expect."
I can't tell where each soul belongs.
This distinction also makes no sense.
I came up with the idea that it might be better to integrate the two sides.
But then I thought about that diary, Chen Yihan, and... Ye Qing.
Countless faces of the dead swirled in my mind.
If I hadn't gone through this, I would still have been naive enough to insist that integration would be better.
I felt a heavy pressure behind me.
"Maintaining the status quo is not a good thing for us. If they can be together, it may not be a good thing." Cheng Lin said, "My father will not agree to be separated from my mother. But he himself, in terms of willpower and action Not very good at all."
I smiled bitterly, "In that case..."
Ye Qing, who had persisted for countless reincarnations, and Ye Qing, who had not given up until now, had an absolute advantage.
Even I can confidently beat Cheng Jiu in this regard.
"Whatever you want to do, just do it." Cheng Lin said, "My father has no ambitions, and neither do I. Let's end it as soon as possible."
I nodded.
Qin Shu has been silent, his face is not good-looking, very heavy.
I was about to call Qin Shu and leave together when I heard singing.
The cheerful singing was accompanied by the sound of chains.
I turned around and saw the girl walking along the road. There is a man's figure next to the girl.
She seemed to notice us. Unlike the facade in this city, this girl can see us.
Her singing stopped abruptly.
"Doctor Cheng." She took a few steps quickly, and the chains made an even louder clanking sound.
I saw clearly the ten circles of chains on her body.
The chain is fastened with a chain of different colors and metal textures. What makes people feel subtle is that the chain is pink, as if it has been painted, and has a wonderful metallic luster.
My eyes followed the chain and moved to the man.
There is no soul chain on the man, just the pink chain.
He followed the girl and walked under the streetlight, letting me see his appearance clearly.
I was stunned.
The man smiled and nodded at us, polite and personable.
Qin Shu said "Ah", as if he recognized the man's identity.
I looked at the girl.
"Eh..." The girl also recognized me at this time, "You were with Nan Shen at that time... Why are you here? Nan Shen—" Her expression changed.
The man had already walked up to the girl and put his arm around the girl's shoulders affectionately.
"Xiaoyu, is this your friend?"
Even the voice lines are the same.
I stared at the man for a while, then looked at the girl.
"Well, uh... you may not remember me. I'm Amelia Su. You and... helped me before in Yangshan District. At that time, you still pulled me..." Su Xiaoyu explained with some stumbling, her expression and tone were both confused. unnatural.
"So you helped Xiaoyu. Thank you very much." The man stretched out his hand towards me and smiled friendly.
"Are you..." I didn't reach out, just looked at him.
"My name is Nan Tian, an actor. You may have seen me on TV." He answered very naturally, as if he was telling a well-known fact.
Qin Shu said "Oh", "I thought I made a mistake just now. I didn't expect..."
I frowned and looked at Amelia Su.
She lowered her head and avoided my gaze.
I had a bad feeling and wanted to say something, but I didn’t know where to start.
"Are you coming here to play? Have you found a place to live?" the man asked kindly.
"We're leaving." Qin Shu noticed that my attitude was different and answered on my behalf.
"It's so late, why don't you stay here for one night? It's quite inconvenient to travel here at night. There was a monster attack just before, and there shouldn't be a resting place nearby. Even if you don't use it... it's not very safe at night. If it happens again If a monster attacks, it will be very troublesome." The man was still friendly.
I had a shuddering feeling.
"Amelia Su, is this... your idea?" I asked, "What he said is your idea?"
