Chapter 567 Next Stop (34)

She pulled down her sleeves to hide the marks.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Cheng Xin noticed that she was lying there motionless, and came over with some concern.

Qiao Xi was injured like that.

Even after the wound healed, there were still scars from the sutures. What kind of treatment had her frail, thin body endured? Cheng Xin couldn't imagine it. Qiao Xi perfectly fit his definition of weakness.

But the girl is very strong.

Looking back, I have never seen Qiao Xiyi bother anyone.

Even this time, Qiao Xi got out of the predicament on her own and returned here safely.

Cheng Xin thought.

Did Qiao Xi live like this before?

He couldn't help but feel a little concerned about what happened to the girl in the past, but Qiao Xi herself didn't mention it, and Cheng Xin wouldn't rashly ask her about her past.

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just want to be lazy."

The girl lying on the table heard his voice, raised her eyes slightly and looked at him, waved her hand and smiled, telling him not to take it so seriously.

Cheng Xin opened his lips and was about to say something.

At this moment, the train slowly stopped at the platform.

“……?”

Now, it was Cheng Xin's turn to be confused.

Why did the train stop? They hadn't been notified that it would stop here.

"Boom, boom—"

The sound of the machinery gradually disappeared as the train slowly stopped. The scene outside the window was not what you would normally see when the train stops at a station.

here.

It looks very ordinary, just like an ordinary site, but in the suburbs.

There seems to be a crew member?

He was standing outside in a black uniform, his face mostly hidden by the brim of his hat that was worn a little low.

I can't see clearly.

All we know is that he's a male.

The train door slowly opened.

The empty station looked a bit desolate, but the attendant was standing next to the train door, turning his head in a strange and stiff posture, staring straight at Qiao Xi and Cheng Xin in the train.

His neck was twisted to the right.

In a strange posture, he almost stuck to the train door and peeked at them inside.

And this site.

The ground inexplicably began to ooze out cold, damp blood, and gradually began to emit a faint smell of rust.

Dim orange light.

The uniformed but oddly behaved flight attendant had most of his face obscured, making it difficult to discern his expression. Now, his pale lips were struggling to form words in a slow, obscure tone.

Said slowly.

"Joe...please, get out of the car."

This time I heard it clearly, and they wanted Qiao Xi to get off the car.

Before the girl could react.

Cheng Xin stood up with a gloomy face, stepped in front of Qiao Xi, looked at the strange flight attendant and said succinctly: "Get out, she won't get off."

"No...down?"

Maybe I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected answer.

The strange flight attendant tilted his head.

He spoke in a dry and intermittent voice, "Then the wound will break."

As if to confirm these words.

Qiao Xi suddenly felt a subtle discomfort in her body, with a slight tingling in her wrist.

She lowered her head and unzipped her sleeves.

The circle of fine leaf patterns around her wrist seemed to be rooted in her flesh and blood, and its color gradually deepened and turned black.

And it began to grow at an unusual speed.

Young leaves growing.

The shape gradually took shape, a gorgeous and enchanting mysterious black mandala.

It was as if it was absorbing her life force.

The feeling of something disappearing within her would become apparent at this moment, and the blossoming flowers spread across her wrist, exceptionally gorgeous.

Qiao Xi was silent for a while.

She pursed her lips, pulled down her sleeves, and tugged at the sleeves of the boy standing in front of her.

"Cheng Xin, thank you. This is a matter of life and death, I must go and take a look."

The girl's words were more resolute than ever before.

Cheng Xin was stunned.

He turned around suddenly and looked at her with a look of disappointment. The shock and confusion in his eyes seemed to indicate that he had not yet fully understood what had happened.

"How did you..."

The boy hadn't finished his somewhat irritated words when he noticed that on the side of the girl's snow-white neck, there was a black mandala pattern that looked like a tattoo and was charming and enchanting.

This moment.

Cheng Xin was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Can wounds change on their own?

He had never seen anything so unbelievable!

Qiao Xi got off the car.

The doors were slowly closed, and the train moved forward again, gradually moving away from the platform.

Cheng Xin looked back at the window and saw that the uniformed flight attendant had disappeared without a trace like ashes blown away.

On the platform.

Only Qiao Xi was left.

She subconsciously looked up at the ceiling with crisscrossing steel bars.

“Tick-tock, tick-tock—”

A sound like liquid dripping.

A reddish-brown liquid with a rusty smell dripped down the pillars supporting the platform ceiling.

The wheelchair was submerged in blood.

Light-colored blood.

But it was filled with the strong rusty smell of blood and was wet.

Qiao Xi hasn't taken any action yet.

After the strange flight attendant disappeared, the lights here began to flicker, becoming a little weird.

“Squeak…”

The old light bulb made a sharp electric sound from time to time.

Empty ticket office.

It looks like the style of the 1990s, with yellowed buildings and an indescribable sense of antiquity.

Silence is spreading.

Silently.

There was no one else on the entire platform except Qiao Xi.

“Click.”

As if foreshadowing some kind of omen, the flickering light finally went out at this moment.

The space instantly fell into deathly silence.

Only the sound of dripping liquid remained.

Becoming clearer and clearer.

The pitch-black darkness and the invisible fear of the unknown weighed heavily on her heart, as if it would suffocate her in the next second and make Qiao Xi breathless.

only.

After all, she did not act rashly.

Just closed his eyes slightly.

I felt that this detached space seemed to be moving in one direction at a very fast speed.

The train controlled by Dijiang was getting farther and farther away.

Where is it going?

Qiao Xi had a vague answer.

The mandala pattern on his wrist began to grow increasingly hot. This was more like a strong omen, and the subtle changes that occurred could better prove where this space was approaching.

“Hiss—”

A sound like the sound of air gushing out came faintly.

Entrenched.

A huge force approached and swallowed up this space in an instant in a very short time.

In the darkness.

It was as if a hidden behemoth began to awaken, and a gradually heavy breath accompanied by a strong sense of panic and oppression quickly filled this small space.

At the top of a pitch-black space.

The sky seemed to be torn apart from both sides, and the vertical pupils of the giant beast slowly opened its eyelids and suddenly appeared here.

It has just opened its eyes.

The entire space was completely occupied by its eye.

The girl didn't move at all.

But the distance between him and that eye was so close that it was about to touch hers. The huge pupil, as dazzling as the scorching sun, moved, as if taking Qiao Xi in as if examining her closely.

In front of this one's eyes.

Even humans seem very small.

A tense, oppressive feeling crept into my mind and gradually seeped into my body, pressing every sensitive nerve and making my attention highly concentrated and tense.

only.

It only looked at Qiao Xi for a while, then slowly closed its eyes.

It fell silent again, returning to the dark space.

Plop, plop—

The inexplicably accelerated heartbeat in her chest also foreshadowed the uneasiness the girl felt at this moment. As if to muster up courage, Qiao Xi tried to control the wheelchair and move forward in the darkness.

But she hadn't taken action yet.

Suddenly, the clear sound of bells rang out at this moment.

"jingle--"

The sound of silver bells colliding could be heard, accompanied by the laughter of young children.

In the dark.

Two puffs of green smoke suddenly appeared in front of Qiao Xi's eyes.

Smoke condenses into shape.

It formed two young children wearing long robes and bare feet, with strange smiles on their faces, looking at her with a playful grin.

"Please come in—"

"Please come in, sir, we have been waiting for you for a long time——"

One person speaks and the other person joins in.

The clear and melodious sound of silver bells came from the silver lockets they wore around their necks. Their ankles, which were tied with red ropes, also had bells tied to them.

only.

These two children had no breath of life and were not living beings.

Qiao Xi understood in her heart.

This was something similar to the puppets she had created using magic before, except that these two seemed to be condensed from the souls of the dead.

A puppet endowed with simple consciousness.

They made way, one on the left and one on the right.

An ancient door covered with eyes slowly appeared at this time. Those green eyes that were originally rolling around now discovered Qiao Xi.

All eyes fell on the girl.

The grinning boys came skipping forward barefoot, one on the left and one on the right, pulling open the door knocker and urging Qiao Xi to come.

"Sir, you're awake. I want to see you—"

"I want to see you and have some tea—"

The boys with strange voices echoed from the left and right. Qiao Xi remained silent and controlled the wheelchair to walk towards the door.

Without actually entering.

From the outside, the world inside the door seemed to be covered with thick gray fog.

However.

When Qiao Xi really entered it, the world in front of him instantly became clear.

She was stunned.

This is the sea of ​​Lycoris radiata flowers that she had seen in her dream.

The enchantingly gorgeous red flowers grow along the blood-red river, and countless skeletons are buried beneath the clear river water.

The wheelchair rolled over the soft dirt.

Not far away, there is a small pavilion.

The lazy man leaning against the railing seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, just like what he saw in the dream, wearing a dark and gorgeous suit, which made him look noble.

Those narrow and long phoenix eyes that were slightly closed.

The moment he sensed Qiao Xi's presence coming here, he slowly opened it. There seemed to be a dark light flowing in his eyes, but with just a slight turn of his eyes, he saw Qiao Xi.

But those extremely beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to be hiding a sharp blade.

His gaze fell on Qiao Xi.

The lazy and elegant man, who was as cold as a ghost and resting with one hand on the side of his head, seemed to become interested when he saw Qiao Xi coming.

The girl suddenly felt her eyes blurred.

There was no time to even react.

She was swept over by a familiar yet unfamiliar force. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the man's muscular chest, which was slightly exposed under his loose and gorgeous clothes.

"Qiao Xi?"

Her name was faintly uttered from Fei's thin, crimson lips.

"Um?"

The girl he pulled over to sit on his lap was a little confused, and subconsciously looked up at him.

Their eyes met for a moment.

Qiao Xi seemed to have just come back to her senses, a little stunned, and then looked away stiffly.

The girl lowered her head and said nothing more.

When Fei saw this, his blood-red phoenix eyes narrowed in delight, and he chuckled softly, barely audible.

"Don't you want to see me?"

The man's slender, pale hand reached out.

He pinched the girl's soft cheeks, straightened them slightly, and forced Qiao Xi to turn her head to look at him.

Their eyes met again.

He dispersed a lot of power, transformed into different forms and wandered around the world, collecting endless power for his original body.

in.

Carrying a certain amount of power and endowed with a certain degree of autonomy.

Only shadows.

Existing in this space, integrated into the rules, it is also to monitor Dijiang. Every time the shadow returns, it will bring back its memories of the past.

only.

There is only one condition for the return of shadow memory, and that is death or disappearance.

Just like before.

He will not possess the memories of other passengers that the shadow possessed. Each time he possesses a new passenger, the previous memory will be erased.

therefore.

When the shadow disappears this time, the memories of Fei's sleeping body are fed back to him.

It becomes clear.

In the distant past, Fei also inherited the memories given by the shadow.

only.

This time the memory seems a little different.

The shadow is only a small part of his power.

Even if they are given a simple sense of autonomy, they still cannot control themselves and are attracted by instinctive greed.

When accepting memory.

Everything Shadow experienced was naturally the same as what Fei himself experienced.

What can be felt.

A mouth-watering rich and sweet aroma emanated from Qiao Xi's soul from the inside out.

For them.

Has a fatal attraction.

Moreover, a beast like the Fei carries a golden glow of merit and virtue, and has the souls of great good people. Every time you eat one, it is better than eating a hundred ordinary souls.

How to not attract shadows?

Those chosen by the shadow to possess are basically the souls of people with great merit.

This is also a specific condition.

Normally, passengers who are possessed by the shadow and absorb some merits will receive certain gifts.

But it's not as rich as Qiao Xi's.

It is a rare one in a thousand situation that the shadow becomes active shortly after possessing the body.

Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

As if by accident.

He pinched Qiao Xi's soft cheek casually and spoke casually.

"Dijiang also hid your aura. It seems that he still cares about you."
