☆, Chapter 126 Just a Fish
"Rongrong, take me in." The matter was urgent, and Yu Jiuyin was unwilling to break the formations surrounding the outside bit by bit.
After his outburst, Rong Qing finally regained some control. Using a technique similar to the one Zi Yang had used to grab the apartment manager from thin air back in the apartment building, Rong Qing reached out and embraced Yu Jiuyin, then vanished from the scene the next second.
As for those complicated and dangerous formations, they were completely useless in front of Rongqing.
This, then, is Rong Qing's profound understanding of the laws of space as a demon. He is not governed by the laws of nature, and any techniques that adhere to the principles of nature pose no obstacle to him.
But often, the more critical the moment, the more important details will suddenly burst out.
The moment Rongqing steps into the Siren Orphanage, a strange memory suddenly explodes in her mind. In her moment of trance, the dusty past finally reveals its true face.
Natural born ghosts are able to completely inherit their father's memories, but Rongqing's situation is different. Perhaps it's because his father's transformation into a ghost was so unique, but Rongqing can only accept the inheritance of his abilities, but he still doesn't know about his father's past.
And his mother kept her mouth shut, so in the end Rongqing didn't care anymore.
But he never expected that after tasting Yu Jiuyin's blood and using the Siren Orphanage as an introduction, Rongqing unexpectedly gained his father's memory.
It's just that these memories are too numerous and too complicated to sort out. But the images that keep flashing by are enough to make Rongqing feel shocked.
It turns out that the Siren Orphanage was moved here by the previous director. This island, though seemingly simple, represents the Siren Orphanage's heyday and its ultimate decline.
The Siren Orphanage was established during the Republic of China. Over the years, they had infiltrated various families like parasites, usurping their power and amassing enormous wealth. This island was built with money and countless manpower.
The most amazing thing about this island was its design. It had to be said that the previous dean was a genius. His mastery of formations was unparalleled, even in the heyday of metaphysics.
He invented a formation that could separate spaces. This is the formation that this island still uses. He used the space he created to hide the island deep under the sea without being discovered. It would only surface when needed.
This is also the reason why, after so many years, no one has been able to find the location of the Siren Orphanage.
As for why they moved from land to water, and why they hid so discreetly, it was because they had found the easiest way to achieve immortality. This was the reason why so many celestial masters disappeared in the metaphysical world.
Every Heavenly Master who is able to learn the Mystical Arts is blessed by Heaven. Their goal is to combine the strongest of these and create a Heavenly Master with a natural Dao body.
Rong Qing originally thought that Yu Jiuyin was the solution they came up with, but he never expected that in fact, Rong Qing himself was also a part of the Siren Orphanage's goal of achieving immortality.
There is yin and yang in the world. Yu Jiuyin represents the favorite of Heaven, and there are those who are disliked by Heaven. Rongqing is the one who is disliked by Heaven.
They exploited orphans, fusing them with evil spirits to forcibly create natural-born demons. Those who failed, those who became fools, were abandoned. Those who survived but inherited the demon's memories were used as pawns to infiltrate the various aristocratic families. Those like Rong Qing's father, who could devour the demon and become even stronger, were considered successful experiments.
Unfortunately, Rongqing's father could not withstand the final experiment and turned into an extremely terrifying ghost.
The first turmoil at the Siren Orphanage was caused by Rongqing's father, who destroyed nearly one-third of the labs there. He erased all the lab records, and when he finally escaped, he left a message saying that his children would completely destroy the place in the future.
As expected, Rongqing arrived. Even after arriving, he saw through all their plans.
Rong Qing completely understood why his mother almost never allowed him to leave the Rong family before he was sixteen. The reason was simple: it turned out that during the past ten years when Rong Qing was still young and immature, he was almost always under surveillance by the people in the Siren Orphanage.
They even tried to interfere with Rongqing's growth. In fact, they almost succeeded at first. But the birth of Yu Jiuyin upset the balance.
Yu Jiuyin is a child favored by heaven. From the moment he was born, it could be said that his success brought prosperity to everyone. As a result, Yu Jiuyin's parents temporarily lost control, causing chaos in the entire orphanage.
This incident marked the beginning of the Siren Orphanage's complete collapse. Yu Jiuyin's parents destroyed the island's formation, and the instant the seawater swept in, those unable to defend themselves, whether human or monster, were devastated. Many perished in the disaster, and even those who managed to escape to shore would only have a vague memory of the orphanage.
Some of the remaining experimental results from the orphanage had also been leaked outside, such as the book that taught Xu Wang's illegitimate cousin how to cast a spell, the witchcraft involved in the Bai Zhiqiu incident, and the script that killed Luo Qiu.
At the same time, what made them even more crazy was Yu Jiuyin's disappearance.
Yu Yongqing's grandfather took advantage of the chaos and stole Yu Jiuyin in an attempt to save the life of Yu Yongqing's brother. Unfortunately, the favored one of heaven was not so easy to calculate. In the end, not only did the life-swapping fail, but Yu Yongqing's brother died. Finally, the Yu family had no choice but to send Yu Jiuyin to the Taoist temple where the master was, ready to wait for the right time to let Yu Jiuyin return his life to Yu Yongqing.
During this time, the remnants of the Siren Orphanage reunited and, mimicking Yu Jiuyin's birth story, created another baby. However, this time, due to insufficient materials, they resorted to using a demon. Ultimately, this child successfully swapped lives with Yu Yongqing, averting Yu Yongqing's tragedy. This is also why the woman in Yu Yongqing's body calls Yu Jiuyin "brother" and wishes to kill him.
Because he felt that it was all because of Yu Jiuyin that he was treated as an abandoned pawn.
But no matter what, even with the Yu family's strong support, the Siren Orphanage eventually fell into decline. Now, they can't even replicate, and can only do their best to restore the research results of their predecessors.
Finally, they were left with no other options and once again set their sights on Yu Jiuyin and Rong Qing, two perfect test subjects.
It doesn't matter how many of Yu Jiuyin's bumpy journey were caused by them. At the very least, Rong Qing's leg was planned by these people.
In the previous case abroad, these people had intended to destroy Rongqing's human form, completely separating him from the heavenly way and turning him into a monster on the verge of being neither human nor ghost. They also hoped that Rongqing would return to China in the form of a fierce ghost, reach Yu Jiuyin, and then gradually push them both into the abyss.
Unfortunately, Luo Qiu's existence ruined their first plan, and Master Yu Jiuyin did not really let Yu Jiuyin fall into the abyss.
Rongqing suddenly felt fortunate that neither he nor Yu Jiuyin were alone. Unfortunately, compared to him, a non-Heavenly being, Yu Jiuyin, the Heavenly Dao's darling, clearly had a worse fate. Although Rongqing's reputation was not good, he had always earned it since childhood.
Even though he had never met Rongqing, his father loved him. He had clearly spoken of the prophecy, yet he sealed Rongqing's memory, preventing him from knowing the existence of the Siren Orphanage. Rongqing's mother loved him just as much, teaching him the proper emotions of a human being and giving him a reason to remain human: to protect the Rong family for a hundred years. For this reason, Rongqing must continue to live as a human, otherwise he would fail to fulfill his promise to his mother.
Rong Zhuo, this cousin, may seem unreliable, but at the critical moment, he is willing to give his life to Rong Qing. As for friends, even if there are few, only Luo Qiu, but for Rong Qing, one is enough.
As for Luo Qiu's death, it was a huge blow to Rong Qing, but he used it as an opportunity to meet Yu Jiuyin, avenge Luo Qiu, and recover Luo Qiu's broken soul to nurture him. This pain was no longer so unforgettable.
But Yu Jiuyin is different. He has been losing things almost since he could remember.
He was born without parents, and when he was two years old, his so-called biological parents attempted to murder him. When he met Rongqing in the summer camp, Yu Jiuyin lost his best playmate.
In the following days, Yu Jiuyin never dared to teach his friends. He seemed to be on good terms with everyone, but he was not really close to anyone. Of course, it was because Yu Chenbi's identity was fake, but it was also because Yu Jiuyin was afraid that his level was not enough.
But even so, he was betrayed by his close friend Yu Hong, and was also plotted by the Yu family, who claimed to be his biological parents, to exchange his life for Yu Yongqing's.
They had previously said that Boss Xu Wang and his companions' meeting Yu Jiuyin was a blessing from their ancestors. But Rongqing understood that Yu Jiuyin's meeting them was truly a blessing. Because it was only from this descent from the mountain that Yu Jiuyin truly began to gain.
So even if it was troublesome, Yu Jiuyin was willing to protect these little ones and take them to play wherever he went.
Thinking of this, Rongqing couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
However, Yu Jiuyin was currently inspecting the scene. The wound on his wrist hadn't been treated, but strangely, it had begun to heal. Even more eerie were Yu Jiuyin's eyes, a dark green. In this environment, coupled with his pale complexion, he looked even less like a living being.
When Yu Jiuyin was weak, his half-demon characteristics would slowly emerge. The advantage was that no matter how severe the injury was, he would not die.
He looked around and saw a dried corpse every few steps. Yu Jiuyin scrutinized their faces and found that they had all died from blood loss.
Looking at the ground again, there was no dried blood in the dense grooves below.
Sacrificing living people is to provoke the evil spirits. What does this want to do? Yu Jiuyin's first reaction was that the director of the Siren Orphanage was crazy.
What kind of ghost was Grandpa Gan? To be frank, he crawled out of a mass grave. When he was alive, he had at least 8,000 lives on his hands. After becoming a ghost, he even took the lives of an entire royal family to be buried with his family.
When Yu Jiuyin met him, if he had not been young and not on guard, and if his natural Taoist body had not been attracted to evil spirits, he would probably have been killed at the first encounter.
His temper has improved over the years, and it was also because he felt sorry for Yu Jiuyin and didn't want Yu Jiuyin to be anxious with him that he began to restrain his temper.
However, the dean used blood to forcibly arouse his resentment. Not to mention that he sacrificed everyone and left only himself, even if there were ten times more people on the island, they would not be enough for Gan Grandpa to play with alone.
This is really unbearable, right?
However, Rongqing, who had already sorted out her memory, gave a different answer.
"Jiuyin, do you think he might want to follow in my father's footsteps?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Jiuyin turned and looked at Rongqing.
"There are two ways to achieve immortality in the Siren Orphanage. One is to become a favorite of heaven like you, and the other is to become a natural-born devil like me."
"you mean"
"Grandpa Gan's level must be almost the same as the 10,000 evil spirits my father devoured."
"Let's go find someone first." Yu Jiuyin took out a compass and at the same time ejected a drop of blood, trying to find the direction where Grandpa Gan was.
Meanwhile, in the dean's office, the machines kept humming. The pungent smell of blood was nauseating. Even more disgusting was the dean's appearance.
All I can say is that he tried his best to achieve immortality.
He had transformed himself into a monster. He was the ferocious mermaid from European history. He was wearing a special instrument on his head, inscribed with strange spells, and Grandpa Gan was struggling to prevent himself from being sucked in.
