Chapter 258 Monica
After she finished speaking, Monica realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth, glaring at Xius fiercely.
It's strange, why did she say so many things for no apparent reason?
Although the moving corpse in front of her was clearly a stranger, she always had an indescribable sense of familiarity. That feeling was so reassuring that as long as she relaxed her vigilance a little, she would subconsciously want to rely on it.
How strange. Monica looked at Hughes, then looked at the big hole in his chest. No matter how hard she searched her memory, she couldn't remember who this person was.
Xius also noticed Monica's vigilance, and at this moment he was in hesitation - should he reveal his identity?
As long as he tells her his identity, he will be able to gain her trust. Hughes and Monica are too familiar with each other.
Ke. Xiusi looked down at the big hole in his chest. He could be reborn in different bodies. This was his biggest secret and he had never told anyone.
Monica. She has always been a troublemaker in the territory, often causing chaos. Xius looked at that beautiful and fair face. She is no longer the little girl she used to be. Should he choose to believe her?
Xiusi suddenly clenched his teeth. The people in his territory were still resisting the monsters, but he still had the mind to waste time here. He stared into Monica's emerald green eyes. That familiar feeling was not wrong. Even though she looked a little strange, she was still the soul he was familiar with.
"Monica, listen to me. It may be hard for you to accept this, but I am actually Xiusi. Your lord Xiusi, the Xiusi who signed the symbiotic contract with you."
"Well, I believe you."
"I know you don't want to believe it, I can tell you a lot of details. Wait, what did you just say?"
"I said I believe you - I don't know what happened to you, but since you don't want to talk about it, there must be some difficulties. But since you are Hughes and I am Monica, I am willing to believe you."
Hughes choked.
"The Banshees are a race that focuses on the mind. Our intuition is very accurate, and right now it tells me that you are Hughes. There is no doubt about it."
Xius felt that what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat. These banshees have always been like this, whether it was when he first met Ash or when he accepted their allegiance in the sea. They have always been willing to trust their intuition. They seem to be able to see directly into the hearts of others.
"You, you're not doing this, right? What if I'm pretending? What if I just want to deceive your trust?"
"Then you have already succeeded in deceiving me." Monica suddenly showed a sly expression: "Since you said so, then tell me about my story."
The corner of Hughes' eye twitched, he sighed, and then slowly began to tell the story.
"When I first met you, I was in the sea. To be more precise, I was at the bottom of the abyss. At that time, the banshees worshipped me as a god. I rejected your request and the scene froze."
"God," Monica whispered with a complicated expression, "It would be better if there were no gods."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Go on."
"Oh, and then you stand up at this time and say that I am half the lord of the Storm Ocean, and you are half of my subject."
"Half a citizen." Monica shuddered.
Xiu Si was a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment and then continued, "The Banshee joined Castel. Later, due to the discovery of a large amount of pollution in the Abyss, the Banshee had to come to the shallow sea. Although she used flesh and blood magic to maintain her human form in the Abyss, she still couldn't exert much power, causing you to be corroded by the pollution and pass out."
Monica nodded silently.
"Then I asked Nora to help you heal, but it happened that the cognitive barrier was broken, and a huge amount of pollution gathered on your body. In the end, I successfully purified the pollution in your body."
"Actually, it's only half purified." Monica suddenly said.
Xiu Si was stunned for a moment before he realized what she said. He was a little confused: "It's impossible. You have a symbiotic contract. Even if there is pollution, it will be purified along with the flow of vitality, right?"
Monica shook her head and sighed: "Didn't you notice that there was too much pollution attracted at that time?"
Upon hearing this, Zeus frowned and began to think. It seemed that he had never encountered such a powerful pollution monster since then.
Those mutated wolves that were soaked in pollution were only slightly stronger than ordinary beasts. It took a large group of polluted beasts in the Abyss to hurt Monica - at that time, there was only Ash who had the fighting power, and she was protecting the entire Banshee alone.
How come Monica becomes so exaggerated once she is polluted?
At that time, Zeus didn't know how strong the banshees were. Now thinking about it, it was indeed strange. Although the banshees were holding back, even with a hundred banshees attacking Monica at the same time, they were unable to restrain her rapid growth in strength.
The pollution kept getting stronger. The pollution in the sea was absorbed. Why did this process feel so familiar? And now think about it, is the pollution so powerful? She was just injured and fainted, and the entire banshee tribe couldn't cure her?
Even if other extraordinary beings who don't have the ability to purify themselves come into direct contact with physical pollution, they will only need slow treatment and will not have such serious acute symptoms, right?
The more Zeus thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't know much about the extraordinary world before and just thought it was normal. But now looking back, he realized that everything that happened back then seemed so strange.
And he remembered that after purifying the pollution from Monica, a strange atmosphere spread out and even caused a storm. When did purifying pollution cause weather changes? What happened at that time? Was Monica really just eroded by the pollution?
Hughes swallowed and looked at Monica: "What do you know?"
"Yes, after I summoned the machine spirit from the steam engine, I could always hear something vaguely, as if something was talking to me. At that time, I thought it was the machine spirit that finally paid attention to me."
She looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she smiled softly: "Now that I think about it, I should have guessed it at that time. Only I can summon the machine soul, no one else can."
Monica suddenly turned around and looked at Xius: "Those silk threads in your hand before were actually part of the power of the gods, right?"
Xius was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Monica sighed: "You must be curious about why I know this - because it was not pollution that eroded me at that time, but the sea god."
