Chapter 107 Talking about Heroes
Why was it exposed?
Theseus thought that his partner was too kind. Not only did he create an oasis with water, flowers and fruits, but he also left a way out for desperate humans who wanted to survive.
Almost all the officers of the Space-Time Balance Bureau are like this; they live in a peaceful universe. Even though they have experienced a lot and seen countless darkness and blood, their hearts are still the same as they were at the beginning, stubborn and irreversible.
Theseus would not say anything on this point, nor would he persuade his partner to change in the name of correction. If there really was a fatal omission, he would naturally be able to make up for it.
They are partners.
Besides, Miss Ta's current strength is enough to support everything she wants to do.
She and he, they are no longer the rookies who just started out and were in a mess.
Theseus reorganized the information in his hand according to the importance of the price, waiting for his partner to fully wake up.
On the 281st day of Tarona's sleep, the love lullaby from his partner finally lost its effect. Chaotic sounds came from all directions, like many people talking, or like heaven and earth were reverberating.
She frowned, her eyeballs moved slightly under her eyelids, the blood-red rose blooming at the end of her left eye shone brightly, the gorgeous court dress was covered with scarlet roses on the skirt, and there were tiny starlight flowing on the soft "petals".
——She is about to wake up.
The coffin is not a coffin, but the Archduchess's favorite sleeping place.
It is made of the deepest darkness and the thickest blood, and is the trophy of the most powerful female archduchess in the history of the vampires.
It is alive.
It can sense its owner's emotions.
It is changing, which means the owner's emotions are fluctuating.
Generally speaking, at this time, the correct solution is to run away immediately, rather than trying to carry it forward.
Fortunately, Tarona herself is not a murderous person, and the compatibility between her and Grand Duchess Rose is very low, with the initial synchronization rate being no more than 19.17%.
But the fact that the data on both sides are not high does not mean that they are not scary enough.
…
What is the coffin used for?
To put it bluntly, it means pretending to be dead.
This pitch-black coffin is so tightly fitted that even with a light on you can't find any gaps. It must have been made using some extremely advanced craftsmanship.
That's what they thought before today.
Until the bright day, the pitch-black coffin bathed in sunlight suddenly moved, and a dull sound came from inside, as if... someone was knocking inside!
This scared the six and a half people in the audience half to death. They retreated in panic. Their faces, which were originally slightly rosy from the sun, suddenly turned pale, and their teeth in their mouths could not stop clicking. The fear that had been forcefully suppressed in their hearts during this period suddenly burst out and almost completely drowned their remaining sanity.
Bang!
Another sound!
The crowds hurriedly sought their backbone.
Di Fei's face looked frightened, but he kept his head down. The panic and shock that flashed across his eyes were not noticed by the people who looked at him.
He took a deep breath and raised his hand to wave at everyone, signaling them to step back.
That coffin...is it going to explode?
Su Mengzhen placed his hand on the Hongxiu Knife. He stared closely at the coffin that suddenly made the sound. His breathing became much slower, and his cold star-like eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The coffin was so strange, how could the things inside it be decent? The gods and Buddhas worshipped by the world would not protect a person like Cai Jing. Only evil spirits would collude with him.
If it is true...
Even if he dies here today, he will not let the things in this coffin cause trouble!
Bang!
The third tone.
Before the remnant sound died away, the pitch-black coffin shook violently, and visible black mist flowed out from the ground like water, instantly filling the vacuum zone left by humans’ hastily retreated.
The black mist rolled up, almost completely covering the coffin on the carriage, and the horses drowned in it cried and neighed.
The bloodthirsty black mist hesitated for a moment, gave up the flesh and blood that was about to reach its mouth, and concentrated on clearing a path for its master who was about to wake up.
Click. Click.
From the black fog came the sound of turning mechanisms and a dull sound similar to a heavy iron door being pushed open.
——It’s coming out!
But after hearing two clear sounds, Di Feijing and Su Mengzhen drew their swords almost at the same time.
Only they themselves knew that their internal energy was already boiling before they even saw the enemy.
The archer hidden in the woods almost had her eardrums shattered by the violent heartbeat in her chest. An archer must avoid hand tremors, and is least likely to have them. But now... her hands are shaking so much that she can hardly hold the arrow steadily!
There is nothing terrible about killing someone.
But what if the person to be killed is not a human?
Just one glance at the coffin would give rise to endless fear in one's heart, densely packed, like poisonous insects drilling into one's heart and slowly gnawing at it. No matter how hard one tried to endure it, no matter how hard one tried to comfort oneself that it was just an illusion, there was also a secret voice in one's heart that was refuting it.
I can't help it.
The longer you endure, the more you suppress, and the more terrible it will be when it explodes.
Many of the people from the Liufenbantang below could no longer hold their weapons. If Di Feijing had not been standing in front of them to support their last psychological defense, they would have already fled in all directions like the horses.
Boom!
This sound drowned out all the previous sounds. The horses crawling in the black mist stopped their mournful neighing. They had already sensed the greatest danger, and their instinct told them that they must stop neighing at this moment in order to save their lives from this terrifying predator that was about to awaken.
The thick black mist surged violently a few times, then calmed down meekly, disguising itself as a pure-colored carpet, secretly excited and looking forward to its owner stepping onto the road it created.
This world is so filthy, how could its noble master be worthy of setting foot in it!
The submerged horse finally saw the light of day again, and the fully unfolded coffin came into view. Inside was a strange coffin that had been opened.
The coffin is pitch black, only it is pure white.
Scarlet lines were outlined and spread along the edge of the pure white coffin, like a narrative painting, or some ancient text unknown to mankind.
Di Fei was surprised to hear the vague whispers again.
Not only him, but everyone here heard it.
The whispers are not in my ears, but in my mind.
It is singing, shouting, and praising.
Before anyone could try to drive away the strange whispers by shaking their heads, a hand slowly stretched out from the pure white coffin.
It was a beautiful hand.
Even though it is wearing dark red velvet gloves, it does not hinder the beauty of this hand.
You can fully imagine how white and delicate the skin under the gloves is, just like the finest white jade or the pure first snow in winter.
You can also imagine how soft this hand is, softer than a beauty's waist, softer than the haziness under the lamp.
If this hand were to brush gently past your eyes, it would surely bring with it a deep and cold fragrance, like the beautiful dream that people pursue, floating in the air and making you infatuated without even realizing it.
You can also imagine that if this hand accidentally touches the neck, the hard bones will be crushed into powder in the blink of an eye!
Di Feijing and Su Mengzhen belong to the last category.
While the others were still in a trance and unable to wake up, they had quickly broken through the fog, their faces becoming increasingly solemn.
Su Mengzhen shouted: "Wake up!"
This shout was filled with internal energy, and it was enough to make the person, who had not yet woken up from the hallucination, shudder all over, cover his chest and gasp for breath.
They actually forgot to breathe!
If Su Mengzhen hadn't shouted, they would have suffocated themselves to death.
It's just a hand...
call.
The wind that was blowing all around suddenly stopped, and the clear blue sky overhead suddenly darkened without any warning. Dark clouds that were as heavy as a city rolled in from all directions, and in an instant, the brilliant sunlight was completely blocked.
Under the sky, it was as cloudy and rainy as a day, with no sunlight.
Ding bells.
This crisp sound was the jewelry on the wrist touching the edge of the coffin, which was no less than a thunderclap to the people who were facing a powerful enemy.
The "person" in the coffin sat up.
Although Su Mengzhen was a man of the world, he was well-read in poetry and books. He read all of them, whether they were ancient classics or contemporary masterpieces.
There are many poems and essays describing beauties in the book. There are so many beauties in the world that if one wants to describe their beauty, there will always be a sentence in the vast number of poems and essays that seems like a match made in heaven.
But, not today.
The woman sitting up in the coffin before me could no longer be described in any poetic words.
She is beauty, and beauty is her!
When she opened her eyes, she was the only light in the world. None of the priceless gems sought after by countless dignitaries could compare to her eyes!
Even the most imaginative person in the world could not imagine such a beauty that leaves one speechless.
And as beautiful as she is, she is also dangerous.
She simply held on to the beast claws condensed from the black mist and stood up slowly and gracefully from the coffin. Su Mengzhen and Di Feijing were shocked to feel a powerful fear coming at them, which made them sweat on their foreheads. For the first time in their lives, they felt an invincible fear!
Cai Jing...
How did you know about such a terrifying existence? !
…
Of course, I learned it from the greedy people.
People in high positions often desire longevity, while the poor or unsuccessful desire wealth and power. With huge sums of money, there will naturally be people who are dazzled and serve as pawns.
Tarona obviously didn't know what was going on and was still a little confused.
She just took a nap, how could she run from the desert to the Central Plains?
What? Could it be that the hunting space of Grand Duchess Rose could grow legs and run away?
She lowered her eyes to see the ten horses lying motionless on the ground, and then looked at the people around her who were shaking like sieves, and she vaguely knew the reason.
[I was robbed?]
Theseus sent the information to her and said, "You can understand it that way."
Tarona received the data and quickly reviewed it in less than two seconds.
There is a very prominent character in the information, and his name is also very nice.
Sumeng pillow.
The owner of Jinfengxiyu Tower, known as the best swordsman in Mengzhenhongxiu.
The first impression Tarona had of him was that he looked sickly.
This human was truly terminally ill, but he still behaved like a normal person, and was even taller than others.
Di Feijing once commented that there was no good part of Su Mengzhen's body. He had at least three or four diseases that could be considered incurable and difficult to cure. There were also five or six diseases that did not even have names. Even if all the doctors in the capital gathered together, they might not be able to diagnose the cause.
But it was this man who managed the Golden Wind and Rain Tower to compete with the Six and a Half Hall, giving rise to the saying "Sixty percent thunder and forty thousand Su" in the martial arts world.
Such people are rare.
Tarona admires Su Mengzhen in her heart, but Grand Duchess Rose dislikes this human.
The soul could clearly smell such a sweet fragrance, so how could it become terminally ill?
Tsk, even the blood doesn’t taste good.
But it doesn't matter. It's just a serious illness and I can recover after recuperation.
The unreal beauty patted the black mist that had transformed into animal claws as if giving a reward, and the black mist suddenly crawled in darkness and squirmed madly with excitement. The people who were more than ten steps away from it were startled and quickly stepped back, fearing that it would pounce on their food like a hungry tiger and pull them down.
As for the beauty standing in the coffin...
Having learned their lesson, they no longer dared to look at it.
The only two who dared to look her in the eye were Su Mengzhen and Di Feijing.
Yang Wuxie and Zhu Xiaoyao who was hiding in the forest were ultimately unable to overcome the growing fear in their hearts. One or two of them were shaking so badly that if a fight broke out... I'm afraid no one here would be able to help.
This fear was far more terrible than anything they had ever experienced. It was unreasonable, had no cause, no beginning, and no way to suppress it.
It is life's fear of death. There is no need to feel ashamed of this instinct.
——Grand Duchess Rose, Heyatisha, is the embodiment of death among the vampires.
In every battle she fought, no enemy soldier survived.
Still a little dazed, Tarona belatedly realized and put away the domineering buff of [Grand Duchess Rose]. The people with blue faces finally felt much better and their breathing became louder.
Su Mengzhen and Di Fei were both slightly stunned. The two people standing side by side looked at each other quickly and confirmed that their previous perception was not an illusion.
Looking at it this way...it seems like he's kind?
In the brief moment when their brains were racing, the Great Witch caught a familiar name from the data.
Cai Jing?
Tarona made a confused sound: [Why does this name sound familiar to me? ]
Theseus said: [Do you remember the treacherous prime minister in the first world who ate abnormal blood and was applauded by everyone after his death? It's the same person.]
Tarona's mouth twitched: [The emperor is the same? ]
Theseus: Yes.
The Great Witch's slightly raised lips, which had been slightly raised because of Su Mengzhen's nice name and his nice personality, straightened out. She took out the meal of ancestors returning to the human world that she had not used in the last world, and prepared to let that bastard who could do anything except being an emperor know tonight what the consequences of being a filial son are.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Tarona's mind, and the corners of his mouth raised again, but this smile... no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit evil.
Su Mengzhen and Di Feijing, who were keeping an eye on her all the time, immediately raised their vigilance even higher.
Theseus had guessed what his partner wanted to say, and sure enough -
【So, Wuqing is here too. 】
Theseus sighed silently and said, "Yes, this world also has the Four Famous Detectives."
Unless the differences between the parallel worlds are extremely large, or they are affected by powerful other factors, otherwise, the inner thoughts of these people with good fortune are almost the same.
The witch laughed immediately, and you could tell how happy she was just by her laughter: [Although the mother-son relationship between Wuqing and I was very short-lived, who can say that it was not true love? I am going to visit Wuqing in this world. My dear partner, what gift do you think I should bring? ]
Theseus couldn't help but cover one eye. He knew that the effect was not great, but he still wanted to emphasize: [Remind you, Miss Ta, the armor card you have fused is no longer [Blood Grudge Nun], and there is no motherly love buff to continue to affect you. And there is actually only one son of destiny in this world, Su Mengzhen's sworn brother, Wang Xiaoshi.]
But just as he thought, his partner was unwilling to even give him a perfunctory response. He pretended not to hear what he said and continued to ask him about the souvenirs.
Theseus had no choice but to give her a list of things that would be suitable as gifts.
The smile on Tarona's face gradually grew bigger. She walked towards Su Mengzhen, whose hair stood on end, stepping on the scarlet roses blooming in the air. The blood-red roses at the corners of her eyes were so charming that they almost pulled everyone who looked at them into an endless abyss of dreams.
