Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo stood on the floating island surrounded by the sea of clouds, and for a few minutes, neither of them spoke.
Ren Jianmo observed the surrounding environment without saying a word, while Ji Thrush quietly observed the every move of his beautiful Ren.
"Next, what are we going to do?"
After a moment of silence, Ren Jianmo asked.
"There is an agency on the floating island."
Season Thrush replied:
"After activation, a Kun and a Peng will appear..."
Facing Ren Jianmo's gaze, he went into more detail:
"It means that in the sea there will be a big fish bigger than a sperm whale, and in the sky there will be a roc the size of a small airliner."
He paused, "We have to kill them, and the road to the temple will appear."
Ren Jianmo thought about the size of Kunpeng described by Ji Thrush, and asked:
"How did you do it before?"
"It's us."
Ji Thrush shook his head, "The two of us deal with one."
He pointed to the sparkling sea above his head, and gestured towards the surrounding sea of clouds, "You are in charge of handling the big kun in the sea, and I am in charge of the roc."
In fact, in Ren Jianmo's existing memory, there is no impression of having fought with anyone before.
But walking all the way from the maze, Ren Jianmo has already dealt with a large group of murlocs and monsters that emerged from books. Every time, his body seemed to know what to do instinctively, and he easily Cope with it.
This time, Ji Thrush told him that later he would go into the sea alone and kill a big fish, and that thing was bigger than a sperm whale. It is natural to think about the way to deal with it.
-I can do it.
he thought firmly.
"Okay, go and open the mechanism."
Ren Jianmo nodded to Ji Thrush.
Ji Xiaoniao followed suit.
He checked the floating island, and quickly found the stone relief carved with a fish and a bird in a similar place as last time, and moved them to a specific position.
Just listen to the sound of "hum".
First there was a long low cry in the air, and then, the ocean above the two of them began to tremble violently, layers of white waves churned, and the sea water poured down like a curtain of rain, instantly drenching Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo. .
"coming."
Ji Thrush said softly.
An astonishingly large shadow appeared on the upside-down sea surface.
It swam very close to the surface of the sea and turned over in the waves, revealing its gray-blue back with white spots.
Then, there was a high-pitched bird song in the air.
A gust of wind pushed away layers of clouds and waves, revealing a large bird with light golden feathers all over its body.
Ren Jianmo understood.
—Sure enough, as the curly-haired boy said, it is a monster with two shockingly large ends.
[Welcome, two guests.]
After Kunpeng appeared, "Vatican" spoke again as before.
It's just that Ren Jianmo's memory was simply lost. For him, this was the first time he heard this indistinguishable voice.
[I have worked hard all the way...]
The tone of "Van" sounded very friendly, and the words he said were no different from the last time - Ji Thrush originally thought so.
As a result, in the next second, he broke out in a cold sweat.
[Congratulations to the two of you, you have entered my Kingdom of God for the second time.]
- He knows!
Ji Thrush blinked, bean-sized drops of sweat slid down the corner of his forehead, indistinguishable from the wet sea water.
—He knows that we are challenging this maze for the second time!
Ren Jianmo also glanced at Ji Thrush who was standing beside him out of the corner of his eye, and his trust in this curly-haired boy was invisibly increased by two points.
Although he still couldn't believe a stranger, Ren Jianmo had to admit that a "god" who could make such a huge maze was as easy as squeezing two ants to death if he wanted to kill them.
In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to lie.
At this time, "Vatican" seemed to laugh slightly.
[Presumably you already know that the road to where I am is hidden in Kunpeng's body. If you want to move forward, you must defeat them.]
After a pause of a second, he added:
[You still have forty-two minutes.]
&&& &&& &&&
Just like the previous time, Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo each killed Kun and Peng who were blocking the way.
Kunpeng's flesh and blood turned into winding stairs like vines, straight into the clouds, extending to an unknown distance.
Although the remaining time was only less than 20 minutes longer than the previous time, Ji Thrush knew that this was quite enough.
They climbed the long labyrinth of stairs, passed through clusters of golden light accelerating to seize time, and finally came to the temple for the second time.
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo stood in front of the last flight of stairs.
Originally, Jin Guang "swallowed" the time until there were less than 20 minutes left, but two people gave up the mission one after another—Ji Thrun guessed it should be Mo Tiangen and Fan Hemian, and bought them an extra 20 minutes. Indeed, there is no more abundance than there is.
Therefore, the only problem left now is - "the first person to find 'Vatican'" is considered as the person who completes the task, and only then can he get the opportunity to ask three questions.
Ji Thrush, who was leading the way, stopped.
Ren Jianmo also stopped.
The two stood on the narrow stone steps, separated by a distance of three steps, one bowed his head, the other raised his head, looking at each other silently.
There was a long, suffocating silence.
They seemed to be playing a game of whoever speaks first and who loses, and no one spoke.
Surrounding the two of them, apart from the inexplicable solemn silence, there was also the sound of Sasha blowing the temples.
"… Go ahead."
Ji Thrush sighed, smiled as if admitting defeat, and said:
"The front should be where 'Vatican' is."
Ren Jianmo's scrutinizing eyes fell on Ji Thrush's face, as if he wanted to see any trace of calculation or conspiracy from his expression.
However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the eyes of the curly-haired kid in front of him were clean and clear, and there seemed to be an indelible sadness between his brows.
"go."
Ji Thrush urged again.
Ren Jianmo slightly raised his eyes, bypassed Ji Xiaoniao, and looked at the palace behind a ball of golden light.
"...you don't remember, do you?"
Ji Thrush asked suddenly.
Ren Jianmo's eyebrows twitched.
Although the curly-haired boy in front of him didn't say the subject, Ren Jianmo had already heard that the "don't remember" that the other party was referring to did not refer to what happened in the maze.
But after thinking about it, he still pretended that he didn't understand.
"I really forgot the previous experience of breaking through the barrier."
Ren Jianmo said:
"So, tell me."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the temple ahead, "What is that place?"
When Ji thrush heard this, a wry smile appeared on his lips.
Instead of answering Ren Jianmo's question, he turned around and walked down a step, bringing the distance between the two closer.
Ren Jianmo tensed his shoulders, and reflexively wanted to take a step back.
But he still controlled his instinctive reaction and stood still.
He wanted to see what the other party was going to do.
Ji Thrush raised his hand and stretched out his fingertips, as if he wanted to touch Ren Jianmo's cheek.
But his fingers stopped before touching the skin of his own beauty Ren.
"Look, I know."
Ji Xiaoniao's eyes fell on Ren Jianmo's hands hanging on both sides.
"We have trained together countless times before... No, it should be said that you are both a coach and a partner, and you have taught me countless times..."
Although he tried his best to smile, the sadness and sadness in his eyes were so clear.
"When you're on high alert, your fingers curl inward a little bit like they do now."
Ji Thrush continued:
"Because of this, you can hold the weapon turned into the wrench as quickly as possible."
Ren Jianmo's slightly curled fingers moved.
"Although you've tried your best to cover it up along the way, I can tell that you're disgusted by my touch, especially... intimate gestures like holding hands."
In fact, Ji Thrush discovered Ren Jianmo's anomaly from the very beginning.
At that time, he had just merged with his previous consciousness, and when he struggled to open his eyes, he saw everyone surrounding him, even Binglang and Zero were staring at him from a distance.
Ren Jianmo was the only one standing in the corner, as if watching a group of strangers playing a monkey show, with cold and vigilant eyes.
However, Ji Xiaoniao was still in the midst of the great surprise and fright after "rebirth", with too much information in her mind, she really couldn't concentrate on doubting her lover's abnormal reaction.
Later, during the second trip through the maze, he kept paying attention to Ren Jianmo's every move.
When he found Ren Jian silently avoiding his touch several times, and looking at him with such cold and unfamiliar eyes, Ji Thrush knew that his thoughts were not wrong at all.
Ren Jianmo really "don't remember".
What he doesn't remember is not just everything reset in the maze, but also about the world of "Boundless Karma", and even the relationship between the two, and every bit of their getting along.
Thinking of this, Ji Thrush felt his heart ache.
He didn't know what happened to Ren Jianmo, but he believed that it must have something to do with his ability to reverse time and space.
— Mr. Ren said, let me believe him.
Ji Xiaoniao took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, and suppressed the slight heat in her eyes.
"You can check your watch."
Ji Thrush pointed to his watch, "On it we can see the tasks assigned to us by 'Peach Blossom Spring'."
Ren Jianmo tried.
The dial lit up, and a sentence like [Enter the Brahma Flower Hall, at least one person will see the true face of [Vatican]] popped up.
"As long as the task is completed, we can go back. And the first person to see 'Van' can ask him three questions."
Ji Xiaoniao raised his hand, slowly reached out, and patted Ren Jianmo's shoulder lightly:
"So, you go up."
…
Ren Jianmo walked through the golden light blocking the way and climbed the last stone steps.
The thick marble door opened slowly in front of him.
This is the real Brahma Flower Hall located on the plane of the Kingdom of God.
Ren Jianmo hesitated at the door, but still raised his leg and stepped in.
Then he found himself standing in a pitch-black darkness.
[Sure enough, you came to me in the end.]
Ren Jianmo heard that strange and indistinguishable voice again.
[Second meeting.]
There was a little smile in the voice of "Vatican":
[This time, are you going to get back your 〖Deposit〗?]
