Chapter 101 Confrontation
There were three sofas in the living room on the first floor. When Lu Yi came out with the water, Canaan and Eris were sitting on each side. The atmosphere was quite awkward and silent.
He ignored the expectant looks the two people gave him, put down the water and sat down directly on the third empty sofa.
"Would you like some water?"
"Hah! Thanks, boss!"
"...Who did you learn this name from?" Lu Yi said helplessly.
Canaan chuckled and didn't answer.
He picked up the water glass, and perhaps out of nervousness, he drank all the water in the glass in two or three gulps. Eris, who picked up the water at the same time as him, only took a small sip.
Canaan felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but look up at Lu Yi frequently.
Lu Yi thought he hadn't drunk enough but was too embarrassed to say so, so he asked considerately, "Do you want more water?"
"No, no, no, that's not necessary!" Canaan shook his head violently, "Boss, there's something I want to tell you!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Eris who was sitting next to him, and it was obvious that he wanted to borrow his time to say something.
Lu Yi glanced at Eris, who seemed harmless on the surface, and asked in a low voice: "Can you sit here and wait for me for a while?"
Eris looked at Lu Yi for a few seconds, then nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Canaan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed Lu Yi to an empty room nearby.
After carefully closing the door, he raised a diaphragm barrier to make sure their voices wouldn't reach the ears of people outside before speaking.
"Boss, what's going on with that second-year student outside? This is so weird. How could there be such a weak second-year student? His level might not even be as high as mine, but he makes me a little creepy. This is really weird!"
Canaan said this while patting the goose bumps on his arms.
Lu Yi didn't know how to explain it to him for a moment, so he could only say as a riddle: "It's hard to explain, but just don't offend him easily."
Canaan blinked and asked tentatively: "...He has a powerful background?"
For example, a prince of a great empire?
If Lu Yi, who stands at the top of the pyramid, could be described like this, then his origin must be very remarkable.
Apart from being the prince or crown prince of some great empire, Canaan couldn't think of a second possibility at the moment.
Lu Yi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can say that. Anyway, his background is much greater than mine."
The original body is a god, so how can it not be considered as a very important background?
He was right, Lu Yi thought.
Even more important than Lu Yi’s background?
Isn't he really the crown prince of some superpower empire?
There was even more fear in Canaan's eyes, and he nodded repeatedly to indicate that he would not provoke him.
Although Lu Yi didn't know what he was thinking, seeing his serious attitude, he had achieved his original purpose of reminding him. So he stopped talking and asked, "You said you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it? Is it important?"
Seeing that Lu Yi was asking about serious matters, Canaan immediately nodded seriously.
"I think it's important! Very important!"
Lu Yi was infected by his expression and also became serious, looking at him extremely seriously.
Under Lu Yi's gaze, Jianan took a deep breath and said in a resounding voice: "Boss, did you know that your identity has been exposed?!"
"Huh?" Lu Yi was at a loss, "What is my identity?"
The expression on Canaan's face became extremely complicated and revealed a bit of resentment.
"It's already like this, boss, are you still going to hide it from me?"
His overly lively and interesting little expression made Lu Yi feel a little amused, and because he was confused, he could only helplessly ask: "What did I hide from you?"
"Your identity!"
Lu Yi suddenly had an idea and joked, "What? Could it be that you discovered my identity as a descendant of the God Clan?"
He said this simply because he suddenly remembered the two inspecting professors who had misunderstood his identity, and seeing Canaan being serious, he couldn't help but feel like teasing him.
But who knew that after hearing his words, Canaan's expression became even more sad and angry, "You really kept it from me! What you said about being a good brother was all fake!"
The sorrow on his face was so real that Lu Yi couldn't tell for a moment whether he was joking or really thinking that.
"Wait." Lu Yi raised his hand to stop him, "I was just kidding you, why do you think I'm a god? Did you see anything in the trial?"
Canaan nodded, the resentment on his face still showing.
"When you revealed your true form, there happened to be a magician with enhanced eyes next to me. He saw the face of the god flying in the sky clearly. It was you!"
He felt something was wrong when he saw the blonde.
Lu Yi was a little helpless as he didn't expect to be recognized even in the dark.
He admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, that person is me."
"But that doesn't mean I'm a god, right?"
"How can it not represent you?" Canaan said angrily. "Everyone knows that only angels can grow wings like that! There is no possibility of imitation. Apart from being a god, there is no other possibility!"
"Maybe it's a skill?" Lu Yi said calmly.
"How is this possible! If the skills of the Protoss could be drastically improved, it would be a violation of the Basic Law of Elements!!"
"The red level is super unreasonable." Lu Yi said softly.
Don’t ask, the answer is red level.
All unreasonable existences are red-level skills.
Relying on the fact that red-level skills are extremely rare, most people don't understand them, and even theories avoid this existence. Lu Yi put all the blame on it without any hesitation.
Sure enough, Canaan was immediately speechless.
The red-level skills really hit his blind spot, and he didn't know where to start to refute.
He could only stare at Lu Yi stupidly, his eyes changing from condemnation to confusion.
"I feel like you're just being perfunctory..."
Lu Yi smiled and patted his shoulder, "No way, why would I lie to you? What bad intentions could a good brother have?"
"On the contrary, you actually questioned me just because of someone else's words. It really hurts me!" Lu Yi pretended to be sad, "You even called me boss..."
Canaan immediately panicked and said without any excuse: "No, I didn't mean that! It's really not like that..."
No, why did things develop completely differently from what he imagined?
Lu Yi shook his head with a lonely expression, "It's okay, maybe the grade trial competition is too tiring, I can understand that your mind is confused for a while."
Lu Yi had already found an excuse for him, and Jianan immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, I must have been too busy these past few days and bothered you without thinking twice. This is totally wrong!"
What a discerning person, Lu Yi sighed in his heart.
"Then do you know how to explain it to those people tomorrow?"
"Of course! This is the Chief's special red-level skill!"
This young man is teachable! Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction.
"You've worked so hard today, go back and rest early. I'll take you to the door..."
…
After sending Canaan away, the smile on Lu Yi's face slowly faded.
He glanced back at Eris who was sitting quietly on the sofa, full of doubts.
Lu Yi quickly walked to the opposite side of Eris and sat down.
Eris still looked well-behaved and quiet, holding an empty cup in his hand, and exuding a contradictory temperament that was both dangerous and tranquil.
There was blood on his clothes and the wounds on his body had healed under Lu Yi's treatment.
Lu Yi recalled the scene of him treating two people deep in the back mountains.
"Eris" only had his arm broken, and there were no other wounds on his body.
When Lu Yi performed healing magic on him, he could clearly feel the abundant self-healing ability in his body.
It is estimated that if Lu Yi arrives a little later, the last fracture on his body will have healed.
At that time, because of his appearance, Lu Yi's heart was stirred by a huge wave.
But he tried several times, both overtly and covertly, and got no abnormal response from the people around him.
It was as if the unlucky sophomore who was caught was Eris himself, and there was indeed an Eris in Braceside Academy.
Lu Yi knew that this was simply impossible, but he could not find any evidence to refute that this was a fallacy.
Lu Yi looked at Eris with an inquiring look.
Eris still held the cup and gave him a sweet smile.
"Lu Yi, why didn't you ask me if I wanted more water?"
Lu Yi shuddered at his laughter and got straight to the point: "Who are you?"
Eris blinked and asked in confusion, "It's me, Lu Yi. It's Eris. Didn't you always want to rescue me? Are you surprised that I came out early?"
Lu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he was unable to respond immediately.
surprise?
Thank you, only surprise but no joy.
Eris didn't seem to care about his reaction at all, and just looked at him with a smile.
He had long black hair that reached the ground, a thin body, prominent facial features, and pale, bloodless skin. He only opened a pair of dark, narrow eyes and stared at Lu Yi intently, looking quite pitiful.
However, Lu Yi showed no mercy and continued to ask: "You know what I'm talking about."
Eris tilted his head, and silently tightened his grip around the cup.
Lu Yi's patience was limited, and he had no interest in coaxing him, so he said directly: "If we can't communicate, I'll have to ask you to leave."
He stood up and leaned forward, one hand on the coffee table, the other reaching for the cup held by Eris, trying to pull the empty cup out.
Lu Yi pulled back.
Lu Yi didn't twitch.
He stared at Eris with his blue eyes narrowed slightly.
The two of them competed secretly.
In the silent "one, two, three", Eris pouted and loosened his hand.
"Lu Yi, you are so mean to me."
"Who told you not to cooperate?" Lu Yi glanced at him.
"If I tell you everything, will Lu Yi be gentle to me?" Eris looked at Lu Yi straight.
Lu Yi originally just glanced at him casually, but when his eyes met his, he was distracted for a moment.
Eris' eyes were as black as ink, and there was no emotion in the inorganic black. She just looked at Lu Yi purely, reflecting his figure.
It seemed as if Lu Yi was the only one in his world.
Lu Yi paused, sat down again, and nodded yes.
"Then Lu Yi, ask me quickly! I will tell you everything!" Eris said expectantly.
"Answer my question first. Who are you? Or, what happened to the owner of this body?"
Eris looked down at the bloodstains on his body, his smile revealing a hint of contempt and indifference.
"This body is mine now, Lu Yi, look."
Eris rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small section of his arm.
Under his deliberate control, the nail marks deep enough to see the bone on his wrist were clearly visible.
Lu Yi frowned.
Eris thought that Lu Yi hated such an ugly and horrible wound, so he immediately controlled the wound to heal instantly. The exposed half of the arm immediately became smooth as before, and there was no trace of the wound.
"What the hell is going on? If this body is yours, then where is the second grader?"
Seeing Eris open his mouth, Lu Yi inexplicably predicted what he was about to say, and said in advance: "Speak one by one."
Eris took a breath back and said half helplessly and half happily: "Lu Yi really understands me, we have a good understanding."
"No, I don't understand at all." Lu Yi said.
Eris pretended not to hear him and explained earnestly, "Actually, what happened is very simple. I made a small deal with a nasty god. Although my body is still nailed to the abyss cave, a wisp of my soul escaped."
"I can't help it. I really want to stay with Lu Yi and don't want to wait any longer. But it will take a long time to collect those things." Eris began to smile at Lu Yi again, with a hint of temptation in his smile.
Lu Yi remained indifferent and continued, "What then? Why are you looking at me? Go on."
"Of course I have to find a suitable body when I escape. This person is already dead, so I will accept this gift without hesitation." Eris said confidently.
"He's dead." Lu Yi repeated.
So the flashing red dots he saw before were not really an illusion.
This second-year student who was in desperate need of rescue died on the eve of hope.
Lu Yi fell silent.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel sad for the death of the second-year student, or feel happy for the task he had accomplished so thrillingly.
Under the complex emotions, there was no emotion on his face.
Eris couldn't understand his expression, nor could he guess his mood at the moment, so he could only wave his hands in front of him and asked in confusion: "Lu Yi, are you sad now?"
Lu Yi shook his head, "No, no..."
Maybe I'm sad.
Even if the outcome is the same, Lu Yi can accept it more by trying hard than by giving up directly.
Just for a moment, he felt sad that it would have been better if he had done it earlier.
It would have been better if it was a little earlier.
Eris had sensed some of his emotions. "But it would be useless even if you arrived earlier. The wound he suffered was not on his arm, but a fatal wound to his heart. Unless you arrived as soon as he was caught, you would not be able to save him."
Lu Yi was slightly stunned.
After a long while, he asked, "Are you trying to comfort me?"
The straight shooter Eris nodded, "Yes, I like Lu Yi, so I don't want to see Lu Yi sad."
Lu Yi pursed his lips, and then said: "Although I doubt your love, but thank you, I feel better now."
Magicians are already extremely tenacious beings among the human race, but their lives are still so fragile.
"Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Lu Yi shook his head and stopped, his eyes falling on his arm where he had already lowered his sleeves.
"…What happened to your wound?"
"Oh, this." Eris waved his arm nonchalantly. "After all, the body is still nailed, and a wisp of soul will also be implicated. But fortunately, the healing is much faster than in the abyss cave."
In the instant that Lu Yi could not see, the twelve god-suppressing soul-locking nails were firmly nailed into his flesh and bones, constantly breaking his soul and body, and constantly healing themselves.
Eris was used to it.
Lu Yi lowered his eyes, his eyes were dim.
Eris heard his voice softly and gently.
He said, "Does it hurt? It hurts a lot."
Lu Yi had seen his true form with his own eyes, and knew how terrifying the thick and long bone nails were. He also experienced firsthand the power of the suppressing water.
Eris is not pitiful.
Lu Yi felt an indescribable sense of pity in his heart, which he himself was not even aware of.
Lu Yi himself didn't notice it, but Eris was keenly aware of the warmth in his eyes, which was warm and gentle, but seemed to drown him.
Eris rarely felt flustered.
He had never experienced such a strange emotion before, and it made his heart beat faster and faster.
It's strange, when did he get the heart?
Is your heart beating out of your chest?
Eris didn't know.
He only knew that his gaze was completely attracted by Lu Yi's eyes, and they were heading towards an intoxicating deep blue sea, and he couldn't move away no matter what.
Eris longed for closer contact, even just a kiss on his rolling Adam's apple.
But even such a kiss, he couldn't get it.
He could only look away in panic and focus his eyes back on himself.
His school uniform was covered in blood.
He appeared in front of him in such a miserable state.
This sudden realization made Eris feel uncontrollably anxious and uneasy.
In the Abyss Cave, Lu Yi abandoned him in such a miserable state.
Eris tugged at his school uniform, letting out short gasps.
His behavior at this moment was actually a bit neurotic, and the nail marks under his clothes began to appear from time to time.
Seeing his actions, Lu Yi guessed something and asked, "Do you want to take a shower? I have some clothes here that you haven't worn yet. You should be able to wear them."
Although Eris was taller than him, he looked thin and could wear Lu Yi's clothes.
"Is it okay?" Eris' voice trembled slightly.
"If you are willing." Lu Yi affirmed.
…
Lu Yi asked Eris to go in and take a shower first, and he turned to the cloakroom to find him some suitable clothes.
At this time, he should be grateful to his brother Astor. Lu Yi had not prepared a cloakroom two months ago, let alone find so many new clothes.
Lu Yi quickly picked out the right clothes. Although he was a little confused about underwear, Lu Yi still estimated Eris' waist size and took out two new ones.
Before I knew it, it was already midnight.
There was a sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom.
Although there was a bathtub inside, Lu Yi had told Eris that only a shower was allowed.
Lu Yi likes to take a leisurely bath when he has nothing to do. The bathtub is his absolutely private space.
And they weren't close enough to share his bathtub.
Lu Yi sat on the sofa in a daze, quietly waiting for Eris to come out of the shower.
He felt a little regretful that he couldn't take a bath today, and secretly thought that it wouldn't be too late to take a bath tomorrow.
He continued to be in a daze, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Lu Yi was too lazy to walk to the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lu Yi, Ares."
Lu Yi stood up suddenly.
Who? What? What Reese?
Who is coming?
Lu Yi suddenly turned his head and looked towards the bathroom.
At the same time, the sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped.
Eris' voice came through the crack in the door.
"Lu Yi Lu Yi! Clothes..."
On the other side, Ares, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, also asked in a low voice: "Lu Yi? Are you okay?"
Lu Yi stood in the living room and took a deep breath, thinking that he was not feeling well at all.
It's more than just bad.
It's just terrible!
