Chapter 522 You All Must Die Two-in-One



Tens of minutes ago.

"Sir, why do you seem to dislike Leopold?"

In the central tent of the temporary camp, You Jian, who was drinking Pu'er tea from a cup, turned his head to glance at Chen Liao and said, "He is not RMB, why should I like him?"

Now there are only two Yellow River monks on duty with You Jian, and the others have gone to rest - You Jian said that sitting in the temporary camp is not being lazy, while others are searching outside all night, he has to sit here all night drinking tea, eating melon seeds and reading books.

Chen Liao considered his words and said, "I don't know how to explain it... but most people have a good impression of Leopold, even Ursa and Sakura Kyoko. In this case, your attitude seems out of place."

"It shows that the brain doesn't grow synchronously with the growth of strength." You Jian threw a drunkard peanut into his mouth and said while chewing: "The brains of that bear and that little girl are not very good."

Are you really qualified to say this... Chen Liao tried his best to maintain the minimum respect on the surface and asked, "Sir, do you think there is something wrong with Leopold?"

"Magic." You Jian said, "Bright's natural charm is probably caused by magic. I'm different from you. I'm resistant to this kind of spell that can confuse the mind."

As he spoke, You Jian suddenly recited aloud: "The Supreme Star, responding to changes without stopping. Exorcising evil spirits and binding demons, protecting lives and bodies. Wisdom is clear, mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the spirit is not lost!"

Chen Liao and another Yellow River monk felt their hearts tremble, as if a layer of fog was dispelled, or a mouthful of ice-cold fat house happy water went down their throats, and they became completely sober.

"Now you can at least look at Brett with a more objective attitude, right?" You Jian asked.

Chen Liao closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Well... Now that I think about it, I feel that Leopold seems to be a bit contrived in some places..."

"Sir, why didn't you warn us from the beginning...?"

You Jian shook his head: "It's not necessary. This is not illegal. His magic is subtle, and he is trying to win your favor by magnifying his own charm, just like a woman putting on makeup and a man pretending to be handsome. There is no difference."

"I don't like Brett only because I prefer people without makeup and who are true to themselves."

Chen Liao also figured it out. Although Brett had won a lot of favor from them, this favor was based on the fact that Brett was a good person.

If Brett does something bad, they will not be led by this goodwill, nor will they sell out national interests.

But it was also terrifying enough - just now, because You Jian didn't like Bright, Chen Liao actually tried to persuade You Jian to make friends with this Second Federation Watcher.

Not only do I like him, I want the whole world to like him...

Chen Liao shuddered, took a sip of tea, and after a moment he remembered something and asked, "Sir, did you say that there is another person besides you who has not 'fallen'?"

"Hmm? Yes." You Jian nodded.

"Is it Dai Ze?" Chen Liao asked.

You Jian smiled: "Why do you think so?"

Chen Liao said, "After Leopold left the camp, Daize seemed to have said something bad about Bright, which made Sakura Anzi want to beat him up. So it seems that Daize doesn't like Bright, right?"

You Jian suddenly bared his teeth and burst into laughter, looking at Chen Liao with the eyes of an "adult looking at a child", and laughed so hard that Chen Liao's face turned black - I haven't even laughed at you yet, and you are laughing at me first?

After a long while, You Jian ate a few peanuts before he stopped smiling and said, "Why are you so childish? Does the world seem to you to be black and white?"

"What's the meaning?"

"The opposite of liking is not liking, right?" You Jian said, "I don't really like Brett, but I don't hate him either. I just treat him like a clown."

Are you really qualified to say this?

"Although Dai Ze openly dislikes Brett, he actually takes Brett very seriously in every meeting and even asks questions to help Brett continue speaking."

You Jian smiled and said, "Liking is a kind of emotion, but there are many ways to express it. If a little boy likes a little girl, will he express his love directly? No, he will pull her pigtails, pull her vest, and step on her shoes..."

You Jian's words made Chen Liao recall the past. More than ten years ago, he was also a little jerk who would throw caterpillars into the desks of girls he liked...

"Wait!" Chen Liao suddenly realized: "Could it be that Daze is against Leopold——"

"Bah." You Jian glanced at him and said, "What are the young people thinking about nowadays... I was just using a metaphor!"

"But it's almost the same. After all, Daze is not a rough and sturdy man like Ursa, and Bright is far superior to him in both appearance and strength. He is also the strongest man in Iron Sun, so he naturally can't lower his dignity to please Bright... He can only show off and say bad things to attract Bright's attention."

Chen Liao thought about it and confirmed You Jian's statement - except for the provocation to You Jian at the beginning, Dai Ze was very quiet at other times and did not dare to offend anyone at all. Only when discussing matters related to Brett would he show some small emotions.

Chen Liao asked doubtfully, "Sir, the person you mentioned who didn't fall like you is..."

"Kader." You Jian replied, "The lone wolf."

"Him?" Chen Liao was slightly startled, then nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed..."

Human emotions are very complex, like and dislike can transform into each other, but You Jian and Kader neither dislike nor like Brett, they... treat Brett very objectively.

Especially Kader, he almost ignored all of Brett's greetings and just watched everything silently.

You Jian sipped his tea slowly and said leisurely, "But unlike me, Kader seems to have set his sights on Bright."

"Watching?"

"Yesterday, Brett and Kader went out one after the other and came back one after the other." You Jian smiled and said, "I am just guessing, but... this lone wolf hasn't come back all day, it doesn't look like it can't find prey."

"But it's normal for the lone wolf to target Bright. As a watcher, Bright has the most information about the Demon King and is the one who might find the Demon King in the end. By targeting him, we can increase the chances of finding the Demon King."

You Jian's statement made a lot of sense. Chen Liao immediately stood up and asked, "Should we follow Brett too?"

You Jian shook his head: "There's no need... and we don't have a professional pervert like Kader, so we might as well act openly with Bright."

He suddenly laughed disdainfully: "Come to think of it, the Wizard Council actually sent someone like Kader here. It's really... too shameless."

"Shameless?" Chen Liao was slightly stunned.

"Have you ever played online games?" You Jian said with a smile: "For a professional tracker and sniper like Kader, the most suitable mission is..."

"Grab the head."

At this time, a strange roar seemed to be heard in the distance, and a Yellow River monk ran in and said, "Sir, the north——"

“Got it.” You Jian stood up and patted his butt, muttering, “My butt has become stiff from sitting for so long, maybe I really can’t poop anymore, no wonder…”

A few hours ago.

Brett threw away the tissue he had spit blood on and hurried away.

The blood-stained tissue fell on the withered grass leaves, and a few minutes later, it was stepped on twice by Kader who was passing by.

More than twenty hours ago.

Bright, muttering to himself and skipping stones on the water, waited until the snow stopped before returning to the makeshift camp.

A moment later, Kader, who was hiding in the bushes, followed Brett back to the camp. When he entered the tent, he noticed the snow on his shoulders - that was the proof that he had been in the wild for a long time - he brushed off the snow as if nothing had happened and sat down in silence.

1 second ago.

Kader, who was lying in the woods 300 meters away from the center of the battlefield, used a tactical sight to accurately observe the convergence of the purple light on the Demon King. Through the spell "What You See Is What You Hear", he listened to the conversation between the two people from a very long distance and knew that the Demon King had perfectly devoured Bright's abilities.

Now that Bright is dead and the Demon King is at his weakest, it is the best time to harvest him.

The joint investigation team, although their common target is the Demon King, they belong to different forces - because of the awakening spell, Kader is naturally resistant to mind-affecting spells and has no good feelings towards Bright.

At the same time, Brett is the guardian of the Federation. To Cardel, he is a strong man from the hostile force, so Cardel naturally will not save him.

From the beginning, Kader had only one goal: to obtain the power of the Demon King.

He followed Brett, waiting for Brett and the devil to decide the outcome, and then he could grab the kill.

If the demon king is strong, he will wait for the demon king to kill Bright or repel Bright, and then snipe the demon king;

If Bright is stronger, he will snipe the demon king before Bright kills him.

This was the profit maximization plan he had set at the beginning, but as the battle between Bright and the Demon King began, Cardel slightly modified the plan.

第一,为了能完美掠夺最后的胜利果实,除非胜者打赢就跑,不然卡德尔会耐心等待胜者彻底吸收败者的力量才出手。

第二,如果可以,他希望能将那个名为‘任索’的男人一起狙杀。

在远处一直暗中观察战场的卡德尔,看得非常清楚——

任索,是一个能预知未来的人。

不然,无法解释他凭借远弱于布莱特的身手,却硬生生依靠无数次神操作将布莱特击溃。

当然,或许这个能力不叫预知未来,叫‘垂钓诸天’‘编织命运’‘干扰未来’——但总之,任索是一个非常,非常强大的敌人。

能够影响命运或者时间,卡德尔再怎么重视任索都不为过。

而且任索还精通火焰、寒冰、旋风、空间等超能力,看得卡德尔暗暗心惊——这两个人,看起来都像是魔王啊。

本来看见任索最后帮魔王挡枪死了,卡德尔还松了口气,但马上他就看见任索又跑出来了,知道刚才战斗的是任索的分身,更是坚定了卡德尔的必杀决心。

本体实力如此强大,甚至还能派分身出来战斗……

这种人,若是不得罪就算了,一旦得罪,就必须赶尽杀绝!

而恰好,卡德尔想要做的,就是杀死任索最为珍惜的爱人!

那就只能……按照玄国的古话,让你们同年同月同日死!

卡德尔的觉醒法术,是名为「专注」的能力。当他长时间高度专注于某样事物,他的灵气对这样事物的破坏力也会显著上升,配合灵气子弹,破坏力极其惊人!

而且他晋升为四级巫师后,「专注」甚至可以影响灵气飞行物的准确度,100%击中专注之敌!

所以,这颗子弹……会将你们的心穿在一起。

Amen。

……

使用「毁灭阴影」强化「纱衣」,化为新法术「绝对刃甲」。

一阵恐怖的冲击力从乔木依身上传来,瞬间将抱住乔木依的任索震飞出十余米,甚至连他身上自动激发的「纱衣」都直接溃散!

任索在地上滚了十几圈,脸庞被碎石划出一道道血痕,衣服变得乱七八糟,脖子上挂着的耳机其中一边耳罩更是彻底撞碎了,人工皮革包裹的线路单元完全暴露在空气中。

当他刹住去势,勉强站起来的时候,视线还是糊的,脑子还是晕的,身上一阵酸痛,根本不知道刚才发生了什么事。

跟任索一样脑子无法思考刚才发生什么事的,还有三百米外特制重型狙击枪被彻底爆碎,头盖骨被掀飞,半个脑袋彻底化为血沫的卡德尔。

&nben…”他脸上挂着最后的笑容,剩下的一颗左眼彻底失去身材,脑袋倒在地上,贴住他刚刚吐出来的口香糖。

而此时任索咳嗽两声,晃了晃脑袋,视野和理智也逐渐恢复。

他们刚才……被人袭击了!

“公,公子……”他大口喘气,喉咙发出破风箱一样的声音,嘶哑地呼唤专属于他的称呼。

“我在这。”

乔木依平静的声音从前面传过来,任索看见她依然坐在原地,连忙摇晃着身子走过去,着急说道:“有人袭击了我们……快点走……直接催动灵气坐标,让承灵接我们回去——”

“那个袭击我们的人,应该已经死了。我将攻击如数奉还。,”乔木依轻声说道:“不用害怕。”

任索微微一怔,不过乔木既然依这样说,应该是真的。

他松了口气,一边走一边笑道:“不愧是魔王,魔王报仇,从早到晚。”

“你这是说我是小人?”乔木依似乎有些小生气,气鼓鼓地说道:“唯女子与小人难养也,我占了两个,看来是很难养的了。”

“那你很难养吗?我不怎么会赚钱。”任索咳嗽两声,踉跄了一下,差点被地上的石头绊倒。

“看情况,如果我不喜欢,就算住大别墅也不开心。如果我喜欢,哪怕是住私人海岛有几十个佣人侍候也开心。”

脑子没清醒过来的任索终究还是摔倒了,他双手撑着地,咳嗽两声,问道:“也就是说你要很多钱才养得起?”

“都说了,看情况,也有例外的时候。”乔木依依然端坐在不远处的地上,笑着说道。

任索两股打颤,他放弃站起来这个想法,直接四肢并用爬过去,又晃了晃脑袋,问道:“如果我养你呢?”

“那只要有瓦遮头(住的地方),每天能吃饱就够了。”乔木依柔声说道。

“那……你需要住多大地方,吃多好的食物?”任索长呼一口气,感觉身体彻底缓过来,顺着聊天继续问道。

“不需要多大地方,跟你睡一张床就够了;也不需要吃多好食物,你吃什么,我吃什么。”

“那我养你吧。”

“嗯,谢谢,但已经不需要了。”

已经爬到乔木依跟前的任索微微一怔,抬起头看向她。

月光下,飞雪中,乔木依微微歪着脑袋,嘴角扬起,眉眼弯弯,点绛朱唇,水汪汪的眼睛令人心神摇曳,脸上写满了能熔化钢铁的温柔,像是刚刚化了妆一样。

眉眼颦蹙温柔刀,屠尽世上少年郎。

然而任索却没有冲上去抱着她狂啃,而是愣愣地看着乔木依的胸膛,像是发条转完的人偶。

然后,他吞了口唾沫,颤抖着右手,慢慢伸过去……

什么都摸不到。

那里,有一个大洞。

苍白的月华毫不留情地穿过乔木依的胸膛,寒风在这个血腥恐怖的大洞里嘶吼。

一团盈盈绿光在任索手上泛起,乔木依笑了笑,说道:“没用的。”

任索咬紧嘴唇,声音颤抖:“强心术……赵子鲤……”

“赵子鲤来了也没用。”乔木依自然知道这位出自玄国的牧师,她摇了摇头,说道:“肋骨、脊椎、心、肝、脾、肺、肾全都没了……赵子鲤再厉害,也不可能帮我制造出内脏。”

“不要浪费你和那些神秘者的交情了。”

心脏都没了,强心术还能有用吗?对什么部位用强心术?

任索看着这个伤口,根本无从下手。

他视线开始漂移,看地面看月亮看雪看山林,就是不看乔木依,双手抱住脑袋,咬破嘴唇,颤声说道:“还有什么办法……还有什么办法……”

“小索。”

乔木依双手捧住任索的脸,轻声说道:“看着我。”

任索傻傻地看着她的笑颜,双手动都不敢动,更不敢碰她,嘴巴微微张开,一个字都吐不出来,晶莹的眼泪滑过沾满泥土的脸,划出一道道泪痕。

他哽咽道:“回,回家……”

“不要,我不要回去。”乔木依用大拇指轻轻拭去他的泪水,说道:“我没多少时间,别折腾了。”

“不要怪自己,是我太弱了。这是四转强者的巅峰一击,如果我是五转的话,说不定就能……可惜的是,我跟你一样,都是很懒的人呢。”

“幸好,我虽然没用魔王的能力伤害别人,但至少用魔王的能力保护了你。”

任索扯了扯嘴角,像是在笑像是在哭,吐出含糊不清的字:“如,如果我刚才,刚才马上带你走……”

“那么那个四转强者就会马上动手,结果都一样。”乔木依摸了摸任索的脑袋,温柔说道:“不要怪自己,你已经做得很好,非常好,好到我都无法挑剔。”

任索抬起手,抓住乔木依摸着他脸的手,感受着那份冰冷的体温,喉咙发出快要淹死的颤动,脸部肌肉扭曲起来,可怜地像是一条快要脱水而死的鱼:“我该怎么办……怎么办……”

乔木依不停帮他擦眼泪,温柔笑道:“别哭啦,哭起来梨花带雨的……不过我不介意最后看见的是你的哭脸。”

她笑了笑,学着任索的语气说道:“看见你哭得这么可怜,我心里也是有一丢丢高兴。”

任索闭上了眼睛,嘴巴张开,垂死般连吐出几口气,像是反胃一样喉咙咕咚一声,断断续续地说道:“是,是我太,太弱……了……”

“不怪你,你不要怪自己!”乔木依语气激烈起来,认真说道:“这个世界并不是用暴力主宰一切,你也不是用暴力拯救我。是你的温柔,你的善良,你的机智,让我挣脱了魔王的命运。”

“我们只是……只是……”

乔木依的声音渐渐低下去,任索擦了擦眼泪,看见乔木依脸上再无笑意,两行清泪像是璀璨的星河滑过她白瓷般的皮肤,眼波流转间,尽是不舍。

“……有缘无份。”

任索伸出手拭开她的眼泪,嘴巴微微张开,欲言又止,最后强撑出一个笑容:“你哭的样子,也很美。”

“谢谢。”乔木依眨眨眼睛,深吸一口气,露出笑容,声音打颤:“我终于…将你**好了…以后不知道会便宜哪个女孩。”

“我,我发誓……”

"Hey, Xiao Suo." Qiao Muyi interrupted him. She sniffed, blinked, squeezed out the tears, took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at him, asking, "After death, will there be an afterlife?"

Without waiting for Ren Suo to answer, she continued, "I believe there is. I believe people have memories of their previous three lives."

"In my next life, I want to be your neighbor. We'll be childhood sweethearts, and go to elementary school, middle school, high school, and college together. After graduation, our parents will urge us to get married. We'll have a traditional wedding, and I'll marry you wearing a phoenix coronet and a red veil."

"In my next life, I want to be born in a wealthy family, born in a foreign country, spend a happy childhood, and meet you at Sensoji Temple when I travel to Tokyo. After five years of love, you finally win the approval of my parents, and we hold a Shinto-style wedding at Meiji Jingu Shrine, and I marry you wearing a white wedding gown."

"In my next life, I want to be born in an ordinary family in the north, work hard, get a scholarship to study abroad with excellent grades, and then be rescued by you in New York. Then we will get married in a flash, in a Western-style wedding, and I will marry you in a wedding dress."

At this point, Qiao Muyi finally couldn't control her emotions. The hands that were holding Ren Suo's face began to tremble. She cried and choked, and tears flowed freely on her face. She cried like a little cat that was about to be abandoned by its owner.

"For the next three lives, I will live in different cities, eat different food, do different jobs, lead different lives, hold different weddings... and fall in love with the same person in all three lives."

Qiao Muyi suddenly remembered something, reached into his chest pocket which had mostly disappeared, and pulled out a piece of burnt paper, which seemed to be the corner of a piece of paper.

She choked up and looked up at Ren Suo: "Kiss me again."

The hot lips rubbed against the cold red lips, and the wet tears slid across their tongues, adding a bit of bitter saltiness to the final delicious meal.

The blood between the lips becomes a bridge of strength and proof of bond.

After an unknown amount of time, Ren Suo heard a single voice coming from his "listening headphones":

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 4 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 5 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 6 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 7 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 8 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 9 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"Qiao Muyi's bond level has increased! Qiao Muyi, level 10 bond, bond ability 'Demon King's Advent'..."

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

"The bond ability 'Demon King' meets all the promotion requirements, and is promoted to the innate bond 'Demon King', unlocking all derivative skills!"

"Negative emotions from Ren Suo, +9999"

Ren Suo gently moved his lips away from Qiao Muyi's red lips, then carefully laid her flat on the ground.

He created a layer of frost with his hands and wiped his hands, then carefully wiped away the tears on Qiao Muyi's face and found that she still had a happy smile on her face.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath, clenched and unclenched his hands, clenched and unclenched them, opened and closed his eyes, opened and closed them, shook his head up and down, and finally lowered his head completely, holding his head tightly with both hands, his voice choked, and the shrill cry seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his soul:

"ah…"

"ah……"

“Ahh—”

“Ah ...… cough…”

He seemed to be vomiting out his soul.

"The devil is there!"

Ren Suo's crying stopped all of a sudden. He raised his head and saw many familiar people appearing in the forest.

The Iron Sun, the Watcher, the Yellow River Monk, the Spirit Hall, the Winter Fort, the Wizard Council...

Yu Jian, Dai Ze, Sakura Kyoko, Ursa...

He sobbed twice, gasped for a few breaths, and a smile uglier than crying gradually appeared on his face.

"Who are you!? What's the relationship between you and the Demon King? (Why are you here? What's your relationship with the Demon King?)" A Wuhundian warrior shouted angrily.

"Get out of there! The devil's body is ours!" a watcher shouted.

Ren Suo's throat gurgled, and a strange light flashed in his deep eyes. His voice seemed to come from the underworld:

"You all must die!"
