"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. To be honest, I'm really interested in you."
"You're so old..."
“…That’s not the interest I’m talking about.”
The old man glanced at its body and whispered:
"You have serious penalty marks on your body, which means you have obtained some extraordinary treasure. If you use this treasure, I will probably not be your opponent."
"But the attack I just made on you wasn't that complicated trick, nor was it this fire. So you don't need to die?"
The young girl could see that the old man had a strong desire to kill, but he did not mean to kill at all costs.
In other words, if it finds it interesting or valuable, it can be spared from death.
And he also realized another thing, that is, his strange skills should be no worse than the opponent's, but he just happened to be restrained.
Or perhaps...actually, it's because my own strength is not enough.
The young girl knew that, after all, it was only at the level of breaking the Dao. The reason why its origin was so strong was because of the punishment pattern.
Although the punishment pattern is painful, it also increases its origin.
However, the source of this increase cannot be used by it.
In other words, the power of using strange and tricky skills is ultimately not as strong as the power of actually destroying a city. Therefore, when encountering tricks as powerful as strange and tricky skills, they are inferior.
In addition, this Netherworld Flame is stronger than it, and much stronger, so that as long as it bathes itself in the flames, it will not be hurt at all.
After sorting out these two things, you will have the confidence to have a good chat with the other party.
You won't be like a little brother, answering whatever the other person asks, and then you can just erase the answer if you feel unhappy.
"What does my punishment have to do with you? Tell me first, why did you come to see me?"
"Tsk, you little cunning fellow, the reason I'm looking for you is, of course, because there's a causal thread on you."
The old man's third pair of eyes flashed.
The young girl memorized the functions of the three pairs of eyes.
One pair can create illusions, one pair can distort the surrounding space, and one pair can see the cause and effect lines.
As to whether this is really how I see it, I don’t know for now. If I define it step by step, it will become clear later.
"What is a causal line?"
The girl understood the superficial meaning, but she really didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
"Did you know that the owner of Langya Inn has been released?"
"Um?"
This was the first time it heard these words put together, and it had no impression at all.
"Like many other souls, it was sealed in the Fall... Never mind, I've used so many new words, I guess you won't be able to understand them all. Let me explain it in simple terms."
In fact, the old man didn't know where to start.
To introduce it to the Land of the Fallen, we have to talk about the history of the Fall of the Horror Scenes and the reasons why they were sealed in those places.
Later I will introduce Ziming and Langya Inn.
With its brain, it is difficult to come up with a good argument.
You can only skip the beginning, skip the middle, and go straight to the conclusion.
"Because of your action, you released the residual soul, and a certain little ghost intercepted it, and it seems that it has entered the city of destruction. This is a taboo, so you deserve to die."
“…”
The young girl probably also thought of what happened to those humans in Lize.
Because that big, dark-skinned fool stepped into the city of destruction.
It is obvious that humans came here with a strange contract to take away Ziming.
It's just... it points the way, and besides...
"Old man, let me ask...what does this have to do with you?"
“…”
The old man sighed, "We weirdos are too selfish. Now that the remnant soul has been unearthed, it is bound to attract many talented and capable weirdos to scramble for it. As for me..."
The young girl interrupted, "So you came out to watch the show."
“…sort of.”
"Then why kill me?"
"I'll teach you a lesson."
“…”
The young girl's expression froze. She never imagined that this causal line was just a boring excuse for her to kill Shagui.
"But I don't want to kill you anymore. Not only that, I even plan to cultivate you."
"Thank you, but no thanks. We have a grudge after all."
"I have no grudge against you."
"I have a grudge against you!"
You want to kill me, but you say you are cultivating me. What's the logic?
It takes two plots to whitewash the villain, but you only need two sentences to whitewash yourself?
However, the old man didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and he didn't even think that the attack just now was the enemy's intention.
"Forget it, think about it yourself. Do you want to stay in this mountain of corpses for the rest of your life, or become as powerful as me?"
After saying that, it sighed with regret, stood up and left on its own, still muttering:
"It's rare to come across a good seedling. If I cultivate it, I can better control the penalty pattern. Combined with that complex trickery...why would I need to endure such a hard life in the eternal night?"
! ?
Out of eternal night?
The young girl's heart skipped a beat. "Wait a minute, if I use this penalty mark, won't the host die?"
"Hey, interested?"
“…”
The old man looked like he knew it all, and chuckled, "Although I'm not as smart as you, I'm well-informed. Although you have to bear the penalty mark, but..."
"The host isn't you, is it?"
“…”
The little girl curled her lips and stopped talking.
"I don't intend to use you. Just like a human master and apprentice, I will accept you as my apprentice. From now on, you can just say that I taught you. How about that?"
"Is it that simple?"
When the little girl heard that she could escape the eternal night, her carefree heart became hopeful again.
