Chapter 189 Jinjiang First Launch
Dozens of heads melted together to form a new huge head with countless teeth hanging on its face. Its densely packed eyes looked at Bai Mian at the same time, staring closely at her every move.
The body of the troll is a twisted ball of flesh, with human shoulders, chest, and abdomen crossed together. There are hundreds of arms swinging on the troll's body, and each hand holds a different weapon. Its lower body is densely arranged with hundreds of legs, just like a centipede.
Bai Mian stared at the giant monster for a while, and suddenly she understood. The system did not send her the information about Moraksha's appearance, because Moraksha had no entity at all. He lived by sucking human desires, and he himself appeared in the body of someone else. The flesh and blood monster in front of her was the Moraksha she was looking for.
Just in time, Bai Mian thought to herself, this way she wouldn't have to explore those locked rooms. The monster twisted its body towards her, and without saying a word, she drew her sword and went forward to fight.
This flesh and blood monster was harder to fight than the previous monsters. It was soft all over, and when Bai Mian stabbed it with his sword, it was like stabbing a ball of cotton, and it did almost no damage to it.
Bai Mian stared at the monster and gently put away the sword in his hand.
She spread out her palms, and a flaming lotus appeared in the palm of each hand. This was the magic her sister taught her before, using the immortal veins to draw out the raging fire of hell. Her sister said that this method could save all the demons in the world. As long as the demon was still in the three paths, it could not escape from this flame.
Bai Mian held his breath and roared: "Hellfire——"
The fire in the palm of his hand expanded instantly, and the walls and the floor were burning. The raging fire swept over the monster and burned it directly into a pool of tar.
But after a while, the house was silent, the fire dissipated, and there was no longer anything strange around. Bai Mian walked towards where the monster fell. A shiny white spine stood in the tar. It was his sister's sacral bone.
Finally, everything was finally done. Bai Mian breathed a sigh of relief. She got her immortal bone back and completed the advanced test of heaven. The next step was to ascend again.
The system's voice rang in my ears, but the content of the announcement was a little strange: "Reporting to the host, the system has failed. Please stay in the human world for the time being and wait for the system to be repaired."
Since the system said so, Bai Mian had no choice but to wait. She was bored and finally returned to Cixin Hall. The master and his wife were waiting for her at the door. Seeing the two old people, Bai Mian was a little surprised: "Master, why are you here? Didn't you go traveling?"
Weng Xuhua waved his hand and said, "We had just set out when Yinyin called us and said she had gastroenteritis and needed someone to stay with her in the hospital. So we immediately decided to give up the trip and come back to accompany Yinyin. After all, our daughter's affairs are more important."
Gao Jin smiled and said, "What about you? Mianmian, didn't you go home too? Did you also encounter an accident?" Bai Mian thought about it and nodded, "Yes, I am the same as you. I stayed here because of something."
The two old people were very happy to hear this. Gao Jin said with relief: "That's great. This shows that our fate has not ended. You can continue to live here. It just so happens that the two of us can't bear to leave you! It's only been a few days since we last met, and I miss you so much that I'm crying!"
Bai Mian agreed, and they happily reunited for a while. When it was time for dinner, Gao Jin turned around and went into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Tomato and egg soup, cold Chinese cabbage, stir-fried pork," Gao Jin introduced tonight's dinner. "We didn't know you were coming, so we made it very simple. If I had known you were coming, I would have gone to the alley entrance to buy a roast chicken."
“No need to trouble you.” Bai Mian waved her hands quickly and took the initiative to serve soup to her master and his wife. In her eyes, her master’s wife’s dishes were the most delicious.
After dinner, Bai Mian went upstairs to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, the store entrance was crowded with fans again. There was no gossip to watch all of a sudden, and everyone was a little uncomfortable. Seeing everyone so regretful, Bai Mian simply went back to his old job and continued to diagnose people and tell fortunes, three times a day, and the live broadcast also started again.
Such days were very comfortable. Without the pressure brought by the mission, Bai Mian could easily diagnose the pulses of the three karma masters every day. When it was time for dinner, the master's wife would prepare meals for him. Everything was so happy. Bai Mian could live like this, a plain and warm life forever.
Half a month had passed before she knew it. During this period, Bai Mian asked the system several times, and each time the system answered "still failing", so she simply became too lazy to ask again.
Bai Mian was immersed in a comfortable life, and her thinking became more and more lazy. She began to forget the existence of the system until one day when she was tidying up her things and saw her sister's fairy bones still in the closet. She then realized that she was a fairy, and the most important thing at the moment was to ascend.
"Lingdi, are you still having problems?" Bai Mian asked the air.
This time, the system did not speak, and there was silence in the air.
The system disappeared.
Bai Mian began to panic. She used all the 9981 spells she knew, but none of them worked. She tried to open her third eye, and tried to use the Golden Light Curse and the Soul-Slaying Sword, but all of them failed as well and turned into ordinary decorations.
Bai Mian's heart choked. Apart from being able to take pulses and tell fortunes, she was now almost the same as an ordinary person. It could be said that she was now just an ordinary person.
She was left behind in the mortal world!
Bai Mian was no longer calm. She took the fairy bone and went downstairs. Gao Jin was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing her coming, Gao Jin said happily: "You came just in time. The meal is almost ready. Go sit at the dining table first. Today we have the grilled carp that you all like!"
Looking at the gentle master's wife in front of her, Bai Mian came up with an idea. She pretended to be willing to help and walked into the kitchen, saying casually: "Master's wife, it's not a good idea for Sister Yinyin to be single all the time. Let me introduce her to someone."
Gao Jin nodded happily: "Of course, who do you want to introduce?"
Bai Mian made up a story: "There is an old man in his 90s in the town. He is very rich and his children all support him in finding a partner. However, there is one thing: this old man is paralyzed and needs someone to take care of him every day and wipe his poop and pee. What do you think about letting Sister Yinyin marry him?"
Gao Jin nodded happily: "Okay, the person you introduced must be reliable."
After hearing this, Bai Mian was certain that it was fake, everything was fake.
She is not the real master's wife, this is not the real Ci Xin Hall, and the fans are not real fans. Everything is just an illusion created to cooperate with Bai Mian. They are NPCs in the illusion and will only speak in accordance with Bai Mian's words. They have no thoughts of their own.
The purpose of their existence is to make Bai Mian feel comfortable so that she can stay in this fantasy world forever.
Yinyin is the apple of the Master's eye. If the Master's wife heard this, she would definitely scold her to death. Why would she just nod her head like she is doing now?
Bai Mian looked at the fairy bone in his hand and it seemed that this fairy bone was also fake.
She picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and chopped hard at the sacrum, splitting it in half. It was even more brittle than a pig bone. Seeing her action, Gao Jin panicked and rushed over to grab her kitchen knife, saying:
"What's wrong with you, kid? You're just having a good time, why do you suddenly go crazy?"
Bai Mian did not hesitate and chopped off Gao Jin's head with a kitchen knife. Weng Xuhua in the hall heard the noise and came over to stop him, but Bai Mian turned around and chopped off his head as well.
After the two men died, the entire illusion began to twist and melt, and the colors in the illusion fell on Bai Mian like rain.
After the illusion faded, Bai Mian returned to reality.
Her vision was blurred and her eyes were red, as if something was wriggling. A fishy smell rushed into her nostrils. At the same time, her body became uncontrollable, as if it was stretched.
It's a giant monster! The flesh monster is trying to chew and "digest" Bai Mian, turning her into a part of its own body!
Bai Mian struggled hard and used several spells to break free. She was covered in blood and was almost defeated by the monster.
It turned out that she had not used the Hellfire at all. When she spread out her palms, her consciousness was controlled by Marasha. Everything that happened afterwards was just an illusion created by Marasha for her. In reality, after she lost consciousness, Marasha devoured her body, trying to turn her into part of a flesh and blood monster.
Bai Mian wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was indeed a demon who fed on desires. No wonder so many gods failed to catch him. He could read people’s deepest desires and then weave a beautiful illusion to trap the target person in it. Even gods would find it difficult to escape.
In this round, he took advantage of Bai Mian's reluctance to leave his master and his wife and made Bai Mian see another possibility. If he gave up ascending to heaven and just stayed with the two old people, it might also be a kind of happiness.
But it was not possible. Bai Mian ruthlessly suppressed the reluctance in her heart. No, her sister's immortal bones had not been found yet, and there was no successor to the position of Moon Goddess. She could not just stay here.
Bai Mian calmed herself down and prepared to fight again. She thought for a while and realized that the reason she was hit just now was because she saw the monster's eyes. As long as she looked into his eyes, she would fall into the illusion he created. In order to avoid being hit again, Bai Mian conjured a piece of cloth and covered her eyes.
Even though she couldn't see anything, Bai Mian could still identify the location by sound. In the darkness, she realized that the monster had circled behind her. She seized the opportunity, spread out her palms, and used the Hellfire again. This time, the flames really surrounded the monster, and the monster let out a desperate roar.
Just when it was about to be destroyed, the monster's belly became bigger and bigger, and something was surging inside, as if it was about to give birth. Bai Mian became curious, but he couldn't take off the blindfold to see.
"Bang--"
There was a huge explosion in the air, and the monster's stomach exploded. A figure jumped out of his belly and escaped before the monster was burned to death by the flames.
The troll was refined by the hellfire, and only this figure was still in the room. Bai Mian could feel that he was beside him, but for some reason, he did not attack him.
Without having time to think about anything else, Bai Mian swung his sword directly at the figure. The man dodged nimbly and avoided Bai Mian's sword. When Bai Mian was about to attack again, the man suddenly spoke.
He bent down, chuckled, and said, "Are you really going to kill me, Master?"
