The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Chapter 346 Master...

"Doctor? How is it? How is it? My sister's condition... can she still..."

The door of the guest room was not closed, perhaps to avoid suspicion. In short, when Lin Chaoyu and Su Mei walked into the courtyard under the leadership of their junior sister Su Yi, they happened to hear the anxious urging of the third junior sister.

Lin Chaoyu's brows relaxed, but Su Mei pursed her lips tightly, and their expressions seemed to be upside down.

"Su Yi, has Master informed me?"

Su Mei's cold voice frightened Qin Suyi and trembled all over again. Lin Chaoyu glanced at her, drew the junior sister's body closer to him, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, Su Yi. Did you tell Master that the Fourth Junior Sister is saved?"

Feeling the warmth radiating from the senior sister's body, Qin Suyi's mood stabilized slightly. She stared at the second senior sister's pursed lips and said in a very low voice:

"I...I didn't enter the hall. I stood outside the hall and told Master..."

"What did Master say?"

Su Mei's lips moved.

Lin Chaoyu rubbed Su Yi's head and glanced at the second junior sister next to him:

"Su Yi is still young and isn't she the closest to you on weekdays? Why are you scaring her?"

When Su Mei heard this, she raised her lips, but that was all.

"Master...Master said she knows."

Qin Suyi did not dare to look at the second senior sister anymore, so she could only lower her head and answer timidly.

"That's it? Didn't say anything else?"

"No...no!"

"You didn't say anything else?"

"without……"

"Junior sister!"

Lin Chaoyu leaned down, held her sleeves and wiped the sweat from Su Yi's forehead, then straightened her bangs, and then patted her gently on the back:

"Let's go to the martial arts field. Ling Shuang will be lonely if she practices sword practice alone."

She pushed Su Yi back slightly, and the latter nodded in understanding, and quickly glanced at the second senior sister Su Mei, seeing that although she did not approve or object, she stepped slowly on small steps. Xu left.

When her figure disappeared around the corner of the courtyard wall, Chao Yu opened her mouth to say something to Su Mei, but Su Mei suddenly turned around and put two fingers against her lips.

In surprise and confusion, Lin Chaoyu's eyes widened slightly, but then she heard the Rakshasa sigh coming from the room with the door wide open:

"Hey... Miss, please tell me first, how long has your sister's symptoms lasted?"

"It's been there since before Su Yi went up the mountain, and now...it's been almost ten years."

"Pfft-cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!"

Looking in through the window, I saw the Rakshasa man named Otto put down his water glass, took out a silk silk, wiped his mouth, rubbed his temples, and then slowly spoke:

"I'm sorry, Miss Wanxi, are you sure it's...ten years? No, I don't mean anything else, it's just...just based on your sister's symptoms...huh..."

Otto exhaled forcefully, stood up and walked back and forth several times to organize his words:

"Let me put it this way, at the beginning, the disease that Karen was talking about - the Black Death. It was the disease that swept across Europe many years ago, killing nearly one-third of the people in Europe, but its essence was nothing more than collapse. Bad energy... to use your Chinese terminology, it is a lower variant of the disease caused by too much infuriating energy.

"Even so, among the thousands of patients I have treated, only a dozen or so can survive, and almost every one of them has been left with a lifelong disability, and only one has been completely cured.

"And Miss Wanru's illness is not the Black Death. In your words, it's called obsession. In our words, it's... [Transformation into a dead soldier]. You should have killed many obsessed people, right? We don't have such people. Known as the 'Dead Soldier', which is different from the Black Death..."

Otto's words were stuck at the most critical node. He turned around twice more, holding his chin with his right hand, as if he was thinking about how to express himself more tactfully.

But until the end, he still couldn't find it...

"At least in the records of Tianming, there is no record of the transformation of a dead soldier being reversed, and..."

He turned his attention to Kallen who said nothing. Kallen was stunned for a moment, and then took the initiative to add:

"Furthermore, we Valkyrie often encounter situations where our comrades are transformed into dead warriors during battles, and our response is... to kill them before they are completely transformed into dead warriors and cause more damage... …”

But this was not the end. Kallen hesitated and continued:

"Moreover, ordinary killing methods do not work, such as piercing the aorta... Such ordinary methods do not work. The 'Dead Soldier' ​​will still stand up after experiencing such trauma, even if the blood They will not be incapacitated even if they are drained, so they must be eliminated in the most thorough way...dismemberment is the most direct way, of course, we will choose to burn them more often."

"No wonder……"

Lin Chaoyu bit her lip tightly and listened to Su Mei sighing leisurely:

"No wonder... no wonder it wasn't enough for Master to kill Yan Shiluo, but he also burned his village..."

"Shouldn't you..."

Lin Chaoyu glanced at her unexpectedly:

"Couldn't you...it turns out you have always cared about this..."

Su Mei didn't answer, she just sneered twice and glanced at the senior sister with her peripheral vision.

Lin Chaoyu fell into a longer silence. It was not surprising that Su Mei cared about this matter. After all, her own parents were killed by her master in an almost cruel way. She was only three years old at the time. But his mind is quite precocious, and those memories... must be unforgettable...

And such cruel things did not happen to Su Mei alone... The master told her that Lin Chaoyu's parents died in the evil sacrifice of the Jiuyou cultists, but the evil sacrifice was destroyed by the master. She was You are already six years old, do you really know nothing...

There are also three sisters, four sisters, and five sisters, all orphans brought back from the villa of Yan Shiluo who was killed. And Qimei Suyi...

Thinking of those past events, Lin Chaoyu became more and more sad, and she gradually didn't know how to face her master.

What about everyone else? It is said that a eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but here on Taixu Mountain, the master is too ungrateful and ignores worldly affairs. He often brings people back and gives them to her directly. Which junior sister or junior brother has not been raised by her since childhood? Her feelings for them were very complicated, and her feelings for the master were also very complicated. It was in this complexity that things gradually became irreversible.

But at this moment, she felt a sense of relief in her heart - if everything was their misunderstanding, then there would be no need...

"snort……"

Su Mei seemed to have expected this. She snorted coldly, leaving Lin Chaoyu with a back view:

"It's beyond redemption. Didn't we know this?"

Lin Chaoyu was speechless.

"I don't know what you think, but I can't accept it. What I can't accept is not that it's hopeless, but... if you can't even save it, how can you say it's hopeless?"

"Su Mei, you..."

"Don't you feel pain in your heart when you kill those ordinary people who have gone crazy..."

"I……"

"I never deny that Master may be right, but I hope that being possessed by a demon and being punished is the result of my own efforts to save me, rather than the thoughts imposed on me by Master. This... will only make me feel... Master just uses us as tools to get rid of demons. We don’t have to have our own thoughts, and we can’t have our own thoughts. We can only do what she says...

"And when we grow old and die, she can still find new tools... Isn't that what she did to the Fourth Junior Sister? Those who fall into evil will be punished, but for her own apprentice, can't she try to save her once? No, she can't , because we are just her tool to get rid of the demon, not her family."

Like countless times before, Lin Chaoyu had nothing to say and could only watch Su Mei walking away...

But for some reason, her steps were extremely slow. She had obviously taken steps a long time ago, but it wasn't until half a minute later that her heels that were hanging in the air fell to the ground.

At the same time, a burst of heartbreaking sobs came from the guest room:

"So...my sister...is still hopeless..."

"I'm sorry, I can only say...with my means, I don't have any way to help Miss Dao Wanru."

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Otto..."

Lin Chaoyu watched Wanxi pulling Wanru up and about to leave. She suddenly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that she, Su Mei, Wanxi and Wanru were all immersed in a complex emotion dominated by sadness. So much so that I overlooked something abnormal...

Wait a moment! Just now, when I heard that Wanru's symptoms had lasted for ten years... the Rakshasa man seemed to be surprised. He was originally extremely elegant in both movements and temperament, but at that moment he spoke without any image. I spit out all the water I just drank...

As if to confirm her suspicion, Otto also spoke at this moment:

"You two ladies, please stay!"

From despair to hope and then to despair, although the ups and downs of life are like this, it is still too cruel for a girl in her twenties like Wanxi Wanru.

Despite this, when Otto asked them to stay, they still stopped with hope that was so thin that it was almost non-existent, waiting for Otto's next words.

The two sisters were not the only ones who stopped. Su Mei, who was leaving at an extremely slow pace, also stopped and turned his head slightly to listen to the goings on in the room.

"I can confirm again that Miss Wanru's illness has lasted for ten years, right?"

"You mean...there's something wrong with this time?"

No matter how stupid you are, it is difficult not to notice the problem under Otto's constant repetition, not to mention that the immortal's recruitment of disciples is very important in terms of qualifications. In addition to the ability to adapt to "Qi"...at least they must have a normal mind. Bar?

"Ten years ago... Miss Wanxi said before that the symptoms of your junior sister were already quite obvious when she went up the mountain. Could you please tell me how widespread the infection was at that time?"

"At that time... I only remember that the mark appeared between the left shoulder and the neck at the beginning. When Qimei went up the mountain, the mark only reached the cheek and did not reach the collarbone."

"Well……"

"Mr. Otto, did you find anything?"

Then there was a long period of silence, until the sky suddenly darkened. Lin Chaoyu and Su Mei simultaneously turned their heads to look at the gradually dimming sea of ​​red clouds beside them, but there was no trace of the setting sun.

A candle was lit silently in the guest room. The small light spot lightly imprinted the silhouette of the person in the room on the plain white wall. The outline of the shadow swayed gently with the beat of the candlelight, but Otto had been silent for a long time. The voice finally sounded again:

"Ten years have passed, and now the upper part of the mark is close to the right eye, and has not yet covered the entire right cheek. The lower edge has just passed the collarbone, and is still some distance from the heart. Once the mark reaches the heart, death is inevitable. But at this speed, It will take about twenty or thirty years for the lines to spread to the heart. However, the right eye may soon be unable to be saved. Of course, this is based on the premise that the Honkai... is no longer activated to fight. "

"Two...twenty or thirty years?"

Wanru asked tentatively.

The Rakshasa reflection on the wall nodded, and the sound of extremely suppressed sobs soon came from the room.

But both Chao Yu and Su Mei knew that the sobs did not mean sadness, but a completely opposite emotion——

"Sister, I can live another twenty or thirty years, and I'm no worse than ordinary people!"

Wanru's voice was extremely excited. For an ordinary person in their twenties, it would definitely not be a happy thing to be judged to be dead in twenty or thirty years. But happiness or sadness is not a quantifiable value, but depends on everyone's expectations for themselves.

For a person who has been worried about death every moment for ten years, it is really a blessing to be able to live for another twenty or thirty years and have a lifespan that is not much different from ordinary people. thing.

At least it's something to be thankful for at this moment.

but……

"But that's not all I want to say."

Even when he was diagnosed, it was difficult for Otto to get rid of his flirtatious tone. At this moment, he suddenly became extremely serious, which suddenly made everyone uncomfortable... and it was also difficult not to let go. Everyone realized the importance of his next words:

"With all due respect... I want to confirm one last time. Has this mark really only expanded so slightly in the past ten years?"

"Yes...yes..."

Otto's repeated questions made the two sisters panic, but they looked through their memories for a long time and still gave a positive answer.

"Okay, with all due respect...heh, let me reorganize the language. Where to start... Let's put it this way, since I was a child, I have read countless destiny files, plus the past few years of treatment Based on experience, I can responsibly say that among the tens of thousands of cases of death that I have encountered and that have been recorded in detail in the files, 865 cases have survived for more than one year after the mark appeared.

"The vast majority of these people have experienced amputation treatment because the marks originated from peripheral locations such as hands and feet. But even so, they will soon be infected again, and none of them survive more than five years. And if we take the average, The time from the appearance of obvious marks to death generally does not exceed two months.”

"What...what does this mean?"

Wanru seemed to understand something, and because of this, her voice trembled violently.

"If there is no error in your memory, there are only two possibilities. The first one, Miss Wanru, you are extremely adaptable to Qi - but this is impossible. To be precise, if you are adaptable to Qi The adaptability is really strong, so there will be no chance of becoming a dead soldier...that is, going crazy. Let me put it this way...can you understand?"

"so it is……"

"I think there shouldn't be any other answer besides 'Red Kite Immortal'."

"But, Master..."

Sobs sounded again in the guest room, but this time, whether it was joy or sadness, it was not so easy to say.

"snort……"

Su Mei snorted again, but compared to before, she seemed less confident.

She wanted to say something else, but suddenly she heard Lin Chaoyu's increasingly rapid breathing.

Although this senior sister has become more and more rude to me recently, perhaps it has something to do with her instigating everyone to deal with the master... But in the past, they were as close as mother and daughter, sisters. At this time, she silently took two steps back and turned around. Body Care said:

"Senior sister? Senior sister? Ah——"

Lin Chaoyu suddenly grabbed Su Mei's hand with force, and then muttered nervously:

"Junior sister! Junior sister! Do you still remember what Master... said when he first taught us Taixu Sword Qi?"

"Conquer demons and eliminate demons?"

"No, no, no, no, you don't know. Master didn't have any intention of accepting a disciple at first. When he taught me Taixu Sword Qi, he once said, 'This method can strengthen the body and reduce the risk of going crazy'... I thought. Get up! I remembered everything! Why did I forget it before..."

With that said, she let go of Su Mei's hand and quickly walked into the guest room with the door open.

"Fourth sister, fifth sister, it's getting late, so don't disturb the guests' rest. Are you three hungry too? I'll ask Suyi to bring some food later."

She smiled with squinted eyes, and under the dim candlelight, her whole face was covered with tears for some reason.

…………

"What do you mean by that sentence in China? It's true that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite..."

After confirming that there was no one else in the courtyard, Kallen sighed softly while caressing Vera who was sleeping soundly on her lap.

"Um……"

Otto responded softly. He closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, his face full of exhaustion.

"You seem to be particularly concerned about that girl's condition. Is it because of her special situation?"

Kallen's voice was unusually calm, but the calmer it became, the more panicked Otto's heart became.

"Not entirely. First of all, I did guess the possibility of Immortal Red Kite from the beginning. If I can confirm this possibility, and then ask the Immortal for specific methods, and then bring back the destiny, I can somewhat cure those dead soldiers. It will help the patients...

"Secondly... I know a person who gave me some... help, and he may be happy to see what I just did."

"oh."

Karen sniffed and without stopping, suddenly asked:

"At that time in the Kipchak Grassland, the Honkai Impact was abnormal. Is it you who caused it?"

"Um."

Otto's answer was surprisingly straightforward.

Also, the timing was too coincidental. This happened right after he arrived at the front line, and the first person to discover the abnormality in Honkai energy was Eleanor, who had always obeyed his words... It was really difficult. Don't make anyone suspicious.

Kallen's hands tightened her skirt, looking at Vera sleeping in her arms, her voice was vague but firm:

"I'm sorry, Otto."

Then she picked up Vera and left Otto's room slowly.

So Otto knew that although the invisible barrier would not completely break up the two of them, it would make it impossible for them to go back to the past.

But...did this barrier really only appear after the battle on the Kipchak grassland?

No, Otto didn’t think so. The gap existed from the beginning. From the first day he met her, it was destined that a dirty soul like Otto Apokalis would not be able to match her. Is not it?

A golden light flashed in Otto's hand, and then a golden cube appeared in his hand.

"Are you right, Void Manzang?"

No one could respond to him, and the consciousness named "Void Manzo" disappeared.

Otto frowned. He suddenly discovered that there were carving marks on the golden cube, but the golden light was too bright, making the carvings look blurry.

He changed his angle and looked at it with wide eyes. It turned out to be two lines of small characters——

【hello! Users of the next generation! Please don’t forget the name of the genius who made this great tool in your hands! It would be great if I could give her a cheer! (Don’t listen to the magician, this is not a performance, why are you cheering?)——V]
