Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Brother, will you kill me?
With eyes closed?
Ji Chu looked conflicted when he said this, but his eyes clearly showed that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to move forward today.
Meng Yuci didn't ask why, and said simply:
"Can."
Senior brother is so easy to talk to!
Ji Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face was visibly relieved:
"Brother, you are so kind!"
She took his hand and took a step forward.
With just this small step, she found that the rustling sounds in the illusion became more obvious.
Ji Chu stopped moving again.
She knew that she was just daydreaming and was being unreasonable, but she couldn't help but say:
"Um... Senior Brother, can you cover your ears too?"
Meng Yuci: "..."
He didn't say it was bad, but just asked her:
"I'm holding your hand, how can you cover your ears?"
"Is there no spell with this effect?"
Ji Chu asked.
"No."
Meng Yuci said.
Ji Chu had to give up this idea:
"Oh well……"
She reluctantly accepted the situation and emphasized it again:
"Then you must not open your eyes, brother."
Meng Yuci: "...Yeah."
Finally I can leave.
Before Ji Chu set out, she was unsure of this or that. Once she made up her mind to start walking, she was afraid that walking too slowly would be like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, which would be torture. So she pulled Meng Yuci and almost started jogging, sticking madly to the corners of the walls, for fear of running into a scene that would kill her. She didn't care at all that her senior brother had his eyes closed and had to rely on her to lead the way.
Fortunately, this person was Meng Yuci, and he walked just as steadily with his eyes closed as with his eyes open. He could even pull Ji Chu up from time to time to prevent her from getting distracted and bumping into the wall.
Ji Chu was completely unaware, her mind was full of illusions.
I know it's best not to think about or look at the knot in my heart, but I just can't help but look for it.
Then she saw her senior brother stabbing her with the Shaowei sword.
The illusions were not real, but were mostly a combination of her most horrifying and unforgettable memories.
In her opinion, this chaotic night in her previous life was the last straw that broke the camel's back in her relationship with her senior brother. Immediately afterwards, her senior brother was extremely disappointed in her and pierced his heart with a sword.
Ji Chu: “…”
Her breathing rate increased, and she gripped her brother's hand uncontrollably, causing her knuckles to hurt.
Her gaze fell uncontrollably on herself in the illusion, the bloodstains on her chest gradually spread, and she seemed to be able to smell the desperate and dying rusty smell at the tip of her nose.
In a trance, she felt that she was part of this scene. If she lowered her head, she might find that she was actually dead.
——Died by Shaowei’s sword.
She suddenly let go of her brother's hand, lowered her head, and caught a glimpse of large patches of red that almost burned her eyes.
Suddenly, everything in front of my eyes went dark.
Along with the cool aura of her senior brother, her eyes were covered tightly.
As far as the eye could see, she saw her senior brother's hanging cuffs. The cool, silky fabric brushed against her nose, as ethereal and clear as flowing water, washing away all the blood in front of her eyes and leaving them in a clean white.
A hand went around her back and pressed on her shoulder lightly.
Judging from his posture, he is using her as a crutch.
"How can I walk without you holding my hand?"
The cold voice of her senior brother came, like a pine tree suddenly extending obliquely from the cliff, stopping her body from leaning out of the cliff edge.
"Or do you want me to open my eyes and walk away on my own?"
"no!"
Ji Chu came back to her senses and wanted to pull down her brother's hand that was blocking her eyes:
"Brother, you can't open your eyes!"
The hand blocking his eyes did not move at all, blocking her view tightly and could not be pulled away no matter what.
Meng Yuci said, "To be fair, you can't open your eyes either."
Ji Chu said subconsciously:
"But I still have to watch the road..."
"There's only one road."
Meng Yuci was unmoved. He put his arm around her shoulders and led her two steps forward. He couldn't help but retort to her:
"Besides, you can't walk in a straight line with your eyes open."
Ji Chu: “…”
She was completely confused and her senior brother covered her eyes with his hand and used him as a crutch to help her walk forward.
After her senior brother interrupted her, she no longer felt sad and desperate.
Because my eyes were covered and I couldn't see, I had to reach out and touch my heart.
There was no blood and no hole.
Ji Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of not being able to see anything and just following my brother's steps forward was very strange. The world seemed to have quieted down, and all the chaotic memories and thoughts subsided, leaving only the piece of cloth hanging on the tip of my nose, which became particularly noticeable.
It feels cold and a little itchy.
Ji Chu couldn't help but puff up his cheeks and blew upwards, trying to blow the piece of cloth away.
I don’t know what the senior brother’s clothes are made of. It is obviously not “Yang Nianzhi’s” clothes. It is as light as clouds, but has a very special drape. It seems that it is not the equipment of an ordinary disciple. At least she doesn’t have a disciple’s clothes with this kind of touch.
Unable to see, Ji Chu's thoughts began to wander wildly. He thought about the material of his senior brother's clothes, and then wondered if he had enough money to buy such clothes...
The cloth that she blew up fell back down, bringing a gust of cool wind to her face. Ji Chu then puffed up her cheeks and blew again.
She repeated this several times, and her senior brother's sleeves were blown up and down like a kite.
Ji Chu blinked his eyes, as if he had finally found some fun, and naturally forgot about the illusion completely.
The palm of my hand felt like it was being scratched by eyelashes, bringing a strange itch that went straight along the meridians in my palm to my heart.
Meng Yuci moved his fingertips slightly, wanting to withdraw his hand.
Ji Chu blew up his sleeves again, bringing with them a warm, gentle breeze that seemed to penetrate into the palm of his hand, which was loosely covering Ji Chu's eyes. The base of his little finger and the entire palm began to itch, and his heart felt itchy and numb as if it had been scratched by a cat's claws.
This felt strange and unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but say:
"Be quiet."
Ji Chu hummed, thinking that her senior brother might find out about this, so she let the cloth hang on her face and stopped blowing.
Meng Yuci breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and while paying attention to the movements nearby, he walked forward with Ji Chu.
It was just too boring to do nothing. Ji Chu was quiet for a while before he couldn't help but say:
"Brother, you walk so steadily, did you really close your eyes?"
Meng Yuci: "..."
"Closed."
He said.
Ji Chu didn't believe it, or maybe he was just bored and trying to stir up trouble, so he insisted:
"But I can't see now, how can I know if you are lying to me?"
"I didn't lie to you."
Meng Yuci stated the facts calmly, showing no displeasure at her questioning.
His calm tone made Ji Chu feel bored. She thought about it and changed the subject:
"Brother, do you want to know what I just saw?"
Meng Yuci: "Do you want to say something?"
Ji Chu shook his head, and his eyelashes fluttered across his palm again:
"No, I don't want to tell anyone."
Meng Yuci: "Then don't say it."
The topic was ended again with a response that showed no emotion.
Ji Chu took two steps and suddenly asked:
"Then, Brother, will you kill me?"
The topic changed too suddenly, with no signs before or after, just like a stone falling from the sky.
Although Meng Yuci closed his eyes, he couldn't help but turn his head towards Ji Chu.
Naturally, I saw nothing.
He turned back, lowered his voice a bit, and sighed self-deprecatingly:
"Ji Chu, is this the image of me in your mind?"
Ji Chu's expression was a little dazed. She opened her mouth to say a few more words, but was afraid that her senior brother would notice something, so she adjusted her expression and said in a light tone:
"Then Senior Brother, don't crush my Jade Book Card! I want to win."
Neither of them could see each other's expressions, which instead became a form of protection and disguise.
Ji Chu couldn't tell how he felt.
Since her rebirth, she felt that she might be afraid of her senior brother, might resent him, or even hate him, but...
At this moment, she couldn't help but want to rely on her senior brother.
She felt that she was a person without principles and was in a bad mood.
Meng Yuci felt her mood suddenly sinking, and she had completely lost the liveliness she had when she was talking nonsense before. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a huge vibration coming from underground.
His expression changed, and the moment he opened his eyes, he decisively picked up Ji Chu and flew up.
The hand blocking my eyes loosened, and the light suddenly shone into my eyes.
Before Ji Chu could get used to the brightness in front of him, accompanied by an extremely loud exhalation sound, the ground suddenly began to collapse and sink.
As the ground completely sank and disappeared, a huge pit appeared in front of the two.
The candlelight in the formation never goes out, illuminating the things at the bottom of the pit.
A huge, translucent, water ball-like object had a large crack running horizontally towards their top, like a wide-open mouth, waiting for the unlucky guy to step on empty air and fall in.
And in the center of the translucent body of the "water ball", there are countless dark-colored residual souls.
They struggled and squeezed in the "water ball", knocking the outer shell of the "water ball" into irregular shapes, and their wailing continued, almost breaking through the thin skin that wrapped them.
Thick black evil energy emerged from around the "water ball" and waved in all directions like sharp and terrifying ghost claws.
Resentful spirits, evil thoughts, evil things.
Finally the full picture is revealed.
"You stay here."
Meng Yuci put Ji Chu in a temporarily safe place. His eyes fell on a spot of light in the center of the "water ball" surrounded by many resentful souls. He moved his body and was about to jump into the pit.
"Wait, wait!"
Ji Chu hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "Brother, don't jump!"
Meng Yuci was pulled by her, stopped and looked at her, put two plates of fruit in her hands, touched her head and said:
"I'll be back soon, don't run around."
Ji Chu took two panpan fruits and followed him to the edge of the pit. He saw his senior brother jump straight and sharply into the open mouth of the "water ball" like a sword light, and disappeared in the center of many twisted resentful souls.
She was stunned.
The next moment, her eyes suddenly fell on a long shadow not far away.
Why do they look like two different people?
Ji Chu was puzzled at first, and then he couldn't help but take a breath:
The two people dangling in the air were Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu!
Xu Ying held Jiang Chengxu with one hand and climbed onto a protruding rock above the huge pit with the other hand.
The stone was not solid and could not bear the weight of two people. It looked like it was about to collapse.
Ji Chu was so anxious that he didn't care what his senior brother said, "Don't run around." He hurriedly put the Panpan Fruit in his arms and ran towards where the two people were hanging.
