The moon waxes and wanes, no one can control it
The person on the ground was caught off guard and staggered due to the shaking of the ground. He looked up at the sky in confusion.
The celestial phenomena were normal, so why did the earth shake?
In the dungeon, Ruguilu watched the large formation spanning dozens of meters beneath his feet flickering and actually looking a little weak. He couldn't help but gasp.
Playing big...
Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of her to weaken the formation and escape, but if this continues, the formation will collapse within five minutes.
There were constant crackling sounds in the air, like tiny explosions like sparks, which made people a few meters away feel pain all over their bodies.
Even this was the result of being suppressed by the formation. At this moment, Ji Yunding was being restrained by the white light emerging from the ground. The light entangled Ji Yunding like a vine, suppressing the effect of the oath.
But when the formation collapsed, all the spiritual energy injected into the formation would be released. If Ji Yunding's oath borrowed the huge amount of spiritual energy released by the collapse of the large formation, let alone him, the Ji family might be exterminated for no reason today.
"It's so scary..." Ruguilu said this, but his eyes were full of fanaticism.
The oath of the Blacksworn Warlock does not distinguish between others and oneself, and is consistent. Now, Ruguilu sincerely believes that even if he is killed, it is his natural fate as a weak person.
But of course it would be best if there was a chance to survive.
Ji Liuxing hurried over and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Vow runaway?"
At this moment, Ji Yunding just stared straight at the cell, raised his hand to tear off the beam of light that was entangled with her, and his eyes flashed a little red.
Seeing that Ji Liuxing had mistaken Ji Yunding, Ruguilu didn't really want to get to the point where he couldn't reconcile with Ji Yunding, so he spoke immediately.
"Yes, the formation has been activated. It will collapse in about four minutes."
"You don't have to tell me, but..."
Ji Liuxing frowned, stretched out his hand closer, but pulled it back as if he had been electrocuted. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the glove was stuck to his bloody finger, and blood was dripping.
Oath Rampage will unleash the strongest strength that the Oath Warlock can theoretically achieve, which is equivalent to 100% full power, but the negative effects are also obvious - not only will the mind lose, but the burden and damage to the body will also be considerable.
Now if Ji Liuxing tried to stop Ji Yunding, he would become Ji Yunding's target. Theoretically, this was the quickest solution.
"…This energy fluctuation cannot be handled."
Hearing this, Ruguilu was stunned, and then repeated: "You, can't win?"
There was a slight cracking sound coming from somewhere, and the ground kept shaking, as if it was about to collapse.
Ji Liuxing did not have the time to reply and chat. He just took off his gloves, glanced at the tarot cards on the table, and stared at the formation on the ground for a while while treating himself. Then he bit his finger and drew a few strokes on the ground.
"Three in reverse, one in the same direction, five to seven..."
Ruguilu read it for a while and was able to understand it, but he didn't look nervous, just a little surprised: "Are you crazy? Using one person's blood to reverse-engineer a large formation?"
"What on earth did you tell her?"
Ji Liuxing did not respond, but instead threw a question back without even looking up:
"Ji Yunding is not someone who will be easily angered. The chariot, the god of death, the moon, the tower... the first two are her, what are the last two?"
"Who knows?" Ruguilu spread his hands and did not respond directly. "Compared to that, you still want to keep this a secret?"
"The moon, the tower. You made her think that something would break with the changes, to the point where her oath would go haywire... You touched upon the dark part of her oath."
Ji Liuxing tried to think about the content of Ji Yunding's oath at the same time and frowned, wondering what this guy had said to make him act like this.
The communication between the two people cannot be called a dialogue at all. They are just arguing with each other and saying different things.
"Even after seeing this, you still believe her?"
Ruguilu looked down at the formation that was slowly stabilizing and laughed sarcastically.
"She is a Blacksworn Warlock. Are you going to keep her in the dark forever? Have you ever told her what you did to the Blacksworn Warlock?"
“…”
Ji Liuxing began to feel dizzy due to the continued blood loss, and the blood color of his lips gradually faded. He did not reply.
Fortunately, with the help of the existing large-scale formation, the violent and destructive explosions around Ji Yunding finally subsided. Ji Yunding fell to the ground as if he had lost his strength, but he still stared at the entry record in the cell.
Faced with the violent eyes filled with pure murderous intent and malice, Ruguilu took two steps back and sighed.
It failed, but it wasn't a complete failure.
"I can sign a blood contract to promise that I won't cause you any trouble."
Ji Yunding looked at the blood contract that was being pushed respectfully in front of him, and felt the fear and anger in his heart that seemed to be impossible to get rid of gradually fade away. He finally regained his control and nodded with all his strength.
It hurts so much, my whole body hurts, from the skin to the bones, deep into the marrow.
But compared to the side effects of the oath ability, Ji Yunding felt that the unfilled feeling of emptiness was more unbearable.
The moon waxes and wanes, the tides rise and fall, it is not up to us.
Ji Liuxing breathed a sigh of relief, staggered a few steps, leaned against the wall behind him, and turned his head to look around. It seemed that no one was looking for him, which was a blessing.
Thinking of this, Ji Liuxing shook his head slightly, first wiped out the few reinforcement circuits he had temporarily added to the formation, and then restored it for the time being. The function remained unchanged, as long as the top formation masters were not allowed to see it, there would be no problem hiding it from the general routine inspection.
"...Why don't we just ask them to renovate this formation? The design is indeed a bit outdated." Ji Liuxing looked up at the Ruguilu, "I'll come to supervise the repairs."
"Are you sure there will be no evidence? That's really thoughtful."
Ruguilu didn't seem to care that his escape would become more difficult. He just smiled and looked at Ji Yunding.
"That's good. Before my future boss fully grows up, he won't be bothered by those flies."
Everyone said their own thing, but in the end they reached a consensus, and the two people who didn't see eye to eye were too lazy to say anything more to each other.
"Student Ji Yunding, can you still stand up?"
Ji Liuxing extended his hand politely and stopped at a polite distance in front of Ji Yunding. It would not be awkward whether she stood up directly or reached out to Ji Liuxing for support.
But when he saw the bare hands, which were so white that the veins were faintly visible and looked cold dark blue, Ji Yunding's first reaction was his oath.
Killing every monster he touched.
When he came to his senses again, Ji Yunding only saw Ji Liuxing looking at his hand that was hit to the side in a daze. The back of his hand soon turned slightly red. It was obvious that the blow just now was not light, and perhaps there was a slapping sound that Ji Yunding did not hear.
No... If you count it this way, it was wrong from the very beginning.
Ji Yunding clearly remembered that during the entrance test, Ji Liuxing had touched her forehead for treatment. When talking about this later, Ji Liuxing even admitted that he did consider the possibility that Ji Yunding was weird.
So, just as Ji Liuxing was not completely human, Ji Yunding was not completely weird either. This realization made Ji Yunding calm down a little.
But even though he thought about apologizing, Ji Yunding found that he still couldn't speak.
"Sorry, I'm being rude." Ji Liuxing withdrew his hand, then he remembered to take out a spare pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on while squatting down and apologized first, "Have you asked everything I wanted to ask?"
"……Um."
"You can rest for a while, but the visiting hours are limited. There will be people watching you from the top to the door. Try to hold on and don't show any abnormality. You will be fine once you reach the other dimension."
To be honest, when Ji Yunding saw Ji Liuxing now, he even had a strange sense of security - no matter how other people would react after knowing this, Ji Liuxing's reaction was almost certain.
He tolerates fifteen groups of weirdness because those weirdnesses are under human control and are essentially for humans.
Having a core desire is an evil nature that cannot be violated.
What is the appropriate and normal reaction now? Ji Yunding sat on the ground with his head down and thought for a while, then he propped himself up, raised his head, and tried to smile.
"Team Leader, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you were just provoked by this guy."
Ji Liuxing shook his head and didn't take it to heart. But Ji Yunding could sense that he looked at him with some doubt.
…I chose the wrong reaction, but what is the normal reaction?
"Let's go, we'll go back as soon as possible." Ji Liuxing looked at the time and said.
Ji Yunding nodded silently and walked forward as if sleepwalking.
What should I do? What should I do from now on? Who should I confess this to?
She has been loved so far only as a human being. Does this love really belong to her?
The time in the other plane is chaotic. It may be morning after noon, or dusk after night. The positive energy is essentially the energy of "order", while the negative energy is the energy of "chaos".
In the real plane dominated by positive energy, everything is generally orderly, but under the order there is also "disorder" that breeds negative energy; in the alien plane dominated by negative energy, everything is generally chaotic, but some basic order has emerged among the residents.
Today, the moon in the other dimension was dark purple, and beams of light shone through the diffuse mist, looking particularly terrifying.
The two walked in silence all the way, and finally, Ji Liuxing spoke first.
"Student Ji Yunding, I just saw those tarot cards..."
"Team Leader, could you please forget about this?"
Ji Yunding immediately interrupted the conversation, obviously not wanting to talk about it.
Silence passed through the mist, and Ji Liuxing sighed slightly.
"good."
Now is not the time to talk, and I can't force her anymore.
After returning to school, Ji Yunding said goodbye with distant politeness and went straight back to the staff dormitory of Group 1.
The staff dormitories are single rooms with good sound insulation - considering that most investigators have the need to go crazy when they are alone, and collective dormitories will suppress this emotion which is a basic need for investigators.
Originally, Ji Yunding actually preferred to stay in the student dormitory rather than the better-equipped staff dormitory, but now she wanted to be alone for a while.
Ji Yunding casually stepped on his shoes, threw them to the side of the bed, then threw himself onto the bed, lying there in silence.
The room was quiet for a long time before Ji Yunding propped himself up and sat up, muttering to himself.
"We need to find a way..."
