Chapter 78 Chapter 78 "Then let's talk about something serious...
"Then let's talk business." Bai Tianming sat at the table and looked at him, smiling, "What else do you want to confess to me?"
The blush on Abel's face quickly faded. He slowly pulled himself away from the wall and stood in front of it, head bowed, like a limp fake snake slender body dangling from a high tree branch. "I was there when you went to Maria's house."
Bai Tianming nodded and said calmly, "I guessed it."
"Then you went to the Forgotten Fields," Abel looked up at Bai Tianming, gazing at him. "I was there too."
Bai Tianming thought about it and suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid not. Is it as simple as just standing by?"
Abel was silent for a moment, his face returning to its usual paleness, like a freshly mixed palette of white paint. He nodded and admitted expressionlessly, "Indeed."
He certainly wasn't just standing by; he'd been watching the whole thing. If he continued to watch, what would it have to do with him? He couldn't bear it.
Abel was living a good enough life. Even though the sky was right in front of him, he was still hesitant, unable to say this or that, unable to do this or that.
He felt anxious and angry just by looking at them, not to mention that they were clearly using the exact same appearance, so why did he have to hide in the shadows?
Why should he have to watch Bai Tianming right in front of him but not be able to touch him, enduring the torment of wanting but not being able to get him? Why should he be the one suffering from such extreme emotional fluctuations?
If he was the one who couldn't speak, couldn't do anything, and was tortured by severe emotional fluctuations, he deserved it. But that's not the case. He can speak, he can do things, he is not a complete and real shadow that can only follow.
In that case, he should certainly do something.
He didn't expect that he could hide the truth. After all, Bai Tianming was as powerful as ever, and there was no doubt about it. He also never thought that this idea was worth shaking.
He just thought that if the other Abel had to dither and hesitate until everyone left, and refused to say anything from the heart, then it would be better for him to go first. At least, he knew what he wanted to say and would really say it.
So, the Abel that Bai Tianming saw under the shade of the trees in the forgotten fields was not the one who was not there, but the one who was here.
"You replaced him?" Bai Tianming's face was calm, his eyes full of curiosity, like a raccoon watching marshmallows disappear in the water, asking with a little curiosity.
"That's not the case," Abel looked away, expressionless. Suddenly, he felt as if his teeth were rotten. He gritted his teeth and said, "We were originally one, but we separated. So, spiritually speaking, there's no such thing as replacement."
He lowered his eyes, as if thinking of something he couldn't say, and said hesitantly, "But from the perspective of individual consciousness, you can also think of it that way. I'm appearing before you in his place."
Bai Tianming nodded thoughtfully.
Individual consciousness, so it was this Abel who wanted to say those words, not the previous Abel. Regarding matters of the soul, that means if there was only one Abel, he would have said those words, but they are not one, which is why one said them and the other did not.
Outwardly, there was no difference, but emotionally, it sounded like he was cursed. But who could curse him? Was this the aftereffect of breaking his vow?
What oath did he swear?
Bai Tianming frowned slightly, so he asked Abel, "Can you appear at the same time?"
"Yes." Abel nodded.
"Have you always existed at the same time?" Bai Tianming asked again.
Abel frowned, hesitant, as if the question was difficult to answer, or perhaps the answer wasn't a simple yes or no. "You could say that."
The answer is: yes and no.
Bai Tianming nodded, frowned, and asked directly, "Then what exactly is going on? Is it related to the oath you once made to the Black Goat Mother?"
Abel was silent for a moment, as if he was considering what to say, or how to refuse, but in the end he nodded, as if he had made up his mind, and said expressionlessly, "Yes."
Bai Tianming raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of oath is it?"
Abel opened his mouth and was about to speak when a scream suddenly came from outside. The scream did not belong to anyone, but sounded more like it came from a plant. The nearest plant outside, apart from the flowers and grass in the yard, was the sunflower in the flowerpot in the corner of the yard.
It's true that the sunflower was said to be going crazy because it couldn't see the angel, but it shouldn't be this fast, right? Today isn't even over yet, and it's already starting?
Bai Tianming frowned.
If I go out now, the oath will be postponed again. If I don't go out now, I might accidentally wake up Sada and he might ask me something. It's late at night and it's really troublesome to toss and turn. I'd better deal with the one outside first.
Otherwise, you might really scream all night long, and then you won’t be able to sleep!
Bai Tianming walked towards the door and said to Abel as he walked, "I'm going to go outside to deal with it. You wait here."
Abel nodded.
Bai Tianming opened the door and walked out, then closed the door after he went out, to prevent anyone in the yard from seeing Abel in his room and making it difficult to explain.
After all, he himself hasn't figured out the situation yet, and it would be too troublesome to explain it to others.
He took two steps outside and saw that the wildly expanding sunflower had already burst through the small flowerpot and was still gradually growing towards the sky. Its expression was very ferocious and its eyeballs were almost falling out of the flower.
Every petal was trembling, like a scarlet parasite, and lines and veins emerged from the color of the petals, which looked very strange in the night.
The vines crawling rustling on the ground were also growing upwards, but they were stacked layer upon layer, looking like a huge hollow green vine ball that was about to roll.
This is very bad for the safety of the yard.
Bai Tianming frowned, kicked away the vine ball in front of him, and walked to the flowerpot. The flowerpot could no longer hold on and broke into pieces. Only a few fine crumbs were left lying on the ground. They scattered when the wind blew, and it looked pitiful and miserable.
The huge sunflower was still growing upwards. The small sunflowers at the bottom of the sunflower saw Bai Tianming coming over, lowered their heads and looked at him, staring at him with countless eyes, and wanted to touch him with their trembling petals, with unknown intentions.
Bai Tianming pinched the stem of the sunflower. After hearing two crackling sounds, the sunflower, which was screaming wildly, suddenly became smaller and could be held in one hand.
Bai Tianming covered the sunflower, and the sunflower's screaming sound suddenly disappeared. At this time, Bai Tianming saw that Boaz was standing not far away, looking at this place with a smile.
Bai Tianming rolled the sunflower into a ball and threw it at Boaz. With a bang, the round sunflower hit Boaz on the forehead.
Boaz fell to the ground with a thud, as if he had been hit by a lead ball. He lay on the ground, stunned for a moment, and a huge purple lump appeared on his forehead.
But he couldn't hold it in any longer, and he let go of his chest and laughed out loud. His laughter was even louder than Sunflower's scream before.
Bai Tianming frowned and couldn't help but look at Sada's closed door next to him. He was glad that he had reinforced the protective shield of Sada's room before entering the room.
The protective shield protected the room safely and securely, not letting any sound from the outside in. It seemed to be the only quiet place in the entire yard, and Sada was still not woken up.
Bai Tianming breathed a sigh of relief.
Boaz stopped laughing.
Bai Tianming walked over and picked up the sunflower on the ground. The sunflower was curled up like a tied-up crab. It was slightly heavier than before, but not much heavier.
However, both in terms of shape and actual weight, this sunflower is indeed very suitable for use as a substitute for shot put when hitting people.
Bai Tianming held the sunflower in his hand and watched Boaz get up from the ground. It was as if he saw a raccoon wandering around the forest at night, not sleeping. He asked him, "Did you tease the sunflower?"
Boaz smiled, his meaning unclear: "How is that possible?"
"How could it be you who teased her, or how could it be possible that it was only teased to this extent?" Bai Tianming raised his eyebrows and asked him.
Boaz sighed, as if he had been wronged, and said, "You never believed me. I mean, how could it be me? How could it be me who caused this? How could I possibly have such power?"
Bai Tianming nonchalantly weighed the sunflower in his hand and said slowly, "You are quite capable. I don't mind you, but do you really think I'm blind?"
Boaz lowered his head briefly, unable to suppress a laugh, and finally burst out laughing. "Okay, it's me. How's that?"
Bai Tianming looked at him and asked, "What happened to you?"
You only said that the sunflower will go crazy if it can't see the angel, but you didn't say that it will be inexplicably stimulated by people and suddenly go crazy prematurely?
"Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent in this land? You'd know with just a quick check, wouldn't you? Why ask me specifically? Just because a great god disguises himself as an ordinary human doesn't mean he will actually become an ordinary human. Why confine yourself to such an ordinary life?
Besides, what good are humans? " As he spoke, he suddenly became disgusted, frowned, and his face turned gloomy, and he inexplicably gnashed his teeth.
Bai Tianming looked down at him condescendingly: "What are the advantages of humans? I don't know, but what are the disadvantages of humans? You seem to know it very well."
Boaz realized the meaning of these words and was startled.
Bai Tianming said with a half-smile, "Do you want me to take a look at you?"
