When I regained some consciousness again, I felt like I was in the perspective of a bystander, observing myself being controlled by Du Chunsheng.
Turning my eyes, I saw Fang Weijiang standing beside me, with a respectful and excited look on his face. Not far away, Cui Benshan was leaning against the wall, his face pale, and his expression seemed to be enduring great pain.
Then, I heard Cui Benshan say intermittently: "I didn't expect that you were not suppressed at all."
"That's right." My voice was filled with pride, "At that time, if there was a head-on confrontation, I wouldn't have the slightest advantage. So, I chose to lie dormant in my consciousness and wait until the right time to reappear. And that time would be your death. !”
The voice was cold and vicious, completely unlike the tone I used to speak in.
I glanced at Fang Weijiang, and then he nodded and walked towards Cui Benshan with a short knife in hand. Gradually, Fang Weijiang's figure completely covered Cui Benshan. The short knife was slowly raised, and I could almost predict that the next second would be a cruel scene of blood splattering everywhere. I can even detect that a frightening joyful emotion has already arisen in my consciousness in advance.
However, the scene I expected did not appear. Instead, Fang Weijiang let out a muffled groan and then slowly fell to the ground. I saw Cui Benshan standing panting. Although his expression was tired, his eyes were as sharp as a sword. He picked up the short knife on the ground and charged at me non-stop.
Then, I suddenly felt that my consciousness became extremely weak again, and the subsequent memories became as erratic and unreal as a dream. It wasn't until many years later that I realized that it was the phenomenon caused by Du Chunsheng extracting all his mental power and hitting the mental mark in order to fight against Cui Benshan.
Therefore, I cannot accurately describe the details of the battle at that time. Even the scenes that still exist in my memory are very bizarre and unbelievable.
Those pictures seem to be...monsters wrapped in thorns, blades with blood, broken walls, glowing stone statues,;;*(;;%##@￥#*￥...
I'm sorry, although that memory is vague, it makes me feel so painful that I can't tell it anymore... When, what happened, it was death... ;;;;￥%#time**;;%￥...
time is limited! I’d better skip this section!
When my consciousness became clear again, I was looking at the ground, hearing my own heavy breathing in my ears, and a strong sense of pain was passing through my whole body, including my consciousness. My eyes slowly moved up from the ground, and I saw Cui Benshan, who was also tired and scarred, standing in the distance. The other party stared at me, the light in his eyes still sharp. But I noticed that Du Chunsheng's focus was not on Cui Benshan, but on the statue next to him. The statue is full of cracks, and among the cracks are bursts of strange and uncomfortable light. It seems to be a kind of miserable green, but it is somewhat different from the color I understand. Perhaps the strange spiritual power emanating from it affects my perception, making it impossible for me to describe the light accurately and objectively. But I am certain that what that light represents must be something ominous.
Sure enough, I felt myself ecstatic, and my voice became extremely excited.
"I finally found it! The soul box is in this statue!"
"You have no chance of getting that thing!" Cui Benshan's voice sounded from far to near, and the bloody blade instantly appeared in front of my eyes.
My body suddenly retreated, the wind suddenly blew in my ears, my field of vision was filled with afterimages, and my consciousness became alternately awake and groggy. During this process, I vaguely heard myself shouting, "Fang Weijiang, go get the soul box!"
"Stop!" As Cui Benshan shouted, I felt the pressure on my body suddenly reduce, and my consciousness gradually recovered.
In my field of vision, Fang Weijiang had already rushed to the statue, and Cui Benshan followed closely, but could not prevent him from touching the glowing crack.
The statue collapsed when Fang Weijiang touched it, and the flying dust obscured the two figures. I couldn't see what was going on inside, but I heard the sound of clear running water.
"ah!"
It was Fang Weijiang's scream.
"Trap!" Fang Weijiang only said two words, and then fell silent again.
What happened inside! I stared ahead in confusion, trying to sense what was happening in the dust. During the induction, I discovered that the spiritual power represented by the strange light disappeared, replaced by a disgusting pure and clear energy. Cui Benshan suddenly sprang out of the dust and was in front of him in the blink of an eye. Before I had time to react, the other party slapped me on the chest.
I thought I was certain to die, but suddenly I found that this palm was weak and weak, as if the other person was just saying hello to me.
I laughed evilly and was about to fight back, but suddenly I felt my mental strength weakening rapidly. Panic grew and spread, and I asked Cui Benshan loudly, "What on earth did you do?"
Cui Benshan shook his hand and scattered the light on the ground. He said calmly: "The ancient strangers are indeed far-sighted. They had expected that you would sneak into the forbidden area, so they laid a trap. What is hidden in this statue is not the soul. The box is the nemesis of you returning believers, the Holy Grail!"
"So... what you have on your hand is..." I heard my voice gradually getting lower, and in the end I couldn't finish the sentence.
"It's the pure energy in the Holy Grail that can completely purify your sinful souls!" Cui Benshan said coldly.
When the dust settled, I felt I had regained control of my body and saw Fang Weijiang lying among the rubble. His expression was painful, but he was unable to shout, and his face was aging rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's going on!" I shouted in horror, "He will become like this, will I also..."
"You don't have to worry. The energy of the Holy Grail will only target the minions of the Ancient God and will not do any harm to ordinary people. Now that the spiritual imprint in your body has been eliminated, Du Chunsheng can no longer control you. But Fang Weijiang is different." Cui Benshan sighed: "He was too deeply poisoned by the power of Guixu's minions, and he suffered the pure energy of the Holy Grail head-on. I'm afraid he will die here!"
Fang Weijiang's eyes gradually became cloudy, and his body kept pulling out, trying hard to reach out and grab something, but he couldn't grab anything.
Seeing him in such pain, I couldn't help but feel compassion in my heart, but I didn't know what to do. Cui Benshan was also standing nearby, lowering his eyelids and silently reciting an incomprehensible mantra. When Fang Weijiang heard Cui Benshan's spell, his pain eased slightly, but this did not prevent his impending death.
In the silence, I heard a loud yawn suddenly coming from beside me. Looking around, I saw that the child named Ren Zhifei suddenly woke up. He stared at his dark eyes, looking around curiously, and then noticed Fang Weijiang lying on the ground.
Ren Zhifei slowly walked towards the other party and asked innocently: "What's wrong with you?"
Fang Weijiang couldn't make any answer, he just looked at Ren Zhifei, his eyes seemed a little softer. Ren Zhifei squatted down, took Fang Weijiang's hand, and said, "Did you fall? I'll help you up!"
At this time, I saw little bits of clear light coming from Fang Weijiang's body, slowly converging on Ren Zhifei's body. In an instant, this child, whose whole body was filled with light, seemed as holy as an angel.
I didn't know what this meant, so I looked at Cui Benshan at a loss, and Cui Benshan's eyes widened in shock.
Cui Benshan murmured: "He actually..."
After a long sigh, the old-looking Fang Weijiang slowly stood up. His eyes were complicated and he didn't say a word, just looking at the child in front of him.
"Fang Weijiang." Cui Benshan asked tentatively, "Who are you now?"
I looked at Fang Weijiang carefully, fearing that he would reveal his vicious nature and attack innocent children.
"Guixu believers..." Fang Weijiang's voice was hoarse and low.
Hearing this answer, my heart suddenly lifted.
