The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

It got quiet.

All was quiet.

Mikael, who hurried to the scene, opened his mouth three times in a row, but was still speechless.

What can I say that is good? What can I say that is good?

Whenever he tried his best to find what he originally wanted to say, Ling Shuang's weak and half-dead "Master's Wife" kept looping in his mind.

"Ah……"

It seems that any response is wrong, it seems that any response is feeble.

If you want to resolve a silly misunderstanding, the most effective response is not to deny it immediately, but to neither admit nor deny it, and just act like it doesn't matter.

How could it not matter?

Mikael rubbed his gloomy eyebrows. Ling Shuang's words really caught him off guard, but the most important thing now was to stabilize the mood of the youngest person present.

Turning his head, Mikael saw the Herrscher of Knowledge looking at him with a rather strange look.

That look... Apart from the madness and anger that can't be easily dissipated, there's more to it. If I were to use words to describe it, it would probably be -

"Huh? So you are a female?"

In fact, it’s not impossible…

Mikael quickly waved his hand and sighed.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Hua, there are some things that it is better for the two of us to communicate alone. I will go and drive them away first. Do you have any objection?"

Afraid that Ling Shuang would be shocked if he didn't speak, he couldn't help but talk too much. Michael hurriedly said hello to the Herrscher of Knowledge, and then fell in front of Ling Shuang and Su Chang alone.

And the lethality of that "Hua" sound was as expected. Even though a series of denials made the Herrscher of Consciousness want to abandon his persistence and degenerate to the original impulse of accepting the identity of "Herrscher", but With Mikael's vague affirmation, her mood stabilized a lot. At least she was now willing to listen to Mikael's words.

However, whether the so-called willingness to obey is whether he is willing to obey, or whether he no longer knows what to do and can only listen to Mikael's words. This is not what Mikael can know.

Perhaps even the Herrscher of Consciousness himself cannot explain clearly.

"Hello, Master Wife. Long time no see, Master Wife. Did Master Wife bring a gift? If not, please come back."

As soon as Mikael landed, Ling Shuang delivered three more critical blows with his dead fish eyes drooping.

"sorry."

Mikael's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head obediently, and then turned around neatly, facing away from the master and disciple.

"I didn't bring a gift, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Su Chang looked at the corners of her master's eyes that were twitching slightly, and the legendary man in front of her who stopped in mid-air but never took a step... Su Chang patted herself hard while sighing in despair. With a full forehead, he boldly grabbed Mikael's back collar and pulled him back.

"Mikael, the Lord of the World Snake, the Rakshasa people mentioned you a few times in front of me, but judging from the master's reaction just now, it seems that I should call you... uh, master, what is the name of the master's spouse? "

"Grandma."

"Oh! Grandma!"

"..."

The psychological defense gradually collapsed. It was just a name, and it didn't seem to be an important thing.

Moreover...his negotiation with Taixu Mountain does require an identity different from the "World Serpent Lord". Otherwise, at best, it means that he is meddling in other people's business, and at worst, it means that he is colluding with the Herrscher of Consciousness. Attacking Taixu Mountain in an attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs.

Daju is the most important thing. If it is for the plan to continue to be implemented until the end, then it is not impossible to accept these two shameful titles.

As long as it is beneficial to the final plan...

"First of all, I don't have that kind of relationship with your master and ancestor. Secondly... Ling Shuang, if you forget, I can remind you that five hundred years ago, after that incident, when we were discussing how to deal with you , Your master once said - I am not an outsider in Taixu Mountain. As long as I am willing, the position of deputy sect leader will be reserved for me at any time, right?"

Su Shang didn't know what the so-called "that thing" was, but she knew something about it, but she didn't experience it personally, so she could only cast doubtful eyes on her master.

Ling Shuang's eyes silently drifted to the far left of the eye socket, then silently moved to the far right, and she replied without changing her expression:

"Although I think it's more friendly to call me Mistress, but since you don't want to, just forget it."

"Do you really want to tarnish your master's reputation? Please check the atmosphere."

Mikael was really helpless.

"When I told the master this, she didn't deny it herself."

"..."

"Also...although I think you should have seen it with your ability, I would like to remind you that that guy is not her anymore. Her personality has changed completely, and even her memory is incomplete. As a Herrscher, she also has Very uncontrollable. Although he didn’t kill anyone else, when fighting Su Shang and I, there were quite a few attacks aimed at vital points. "

"Is that your opinion?"

Mikael's voice is very soft, but surprisingly it does not make people feel unconfident, or on the other hand, it is a manifestation of overconfidence.

"Yes. Although we have not been together for a short time, Su Shang and I have guessed a lot. Her situation is different from that of the Second Herrscher. She is not a Herrscher transformed by human beings, but a personality directly created by Honkai. Although there have been The example of the First Herrscher is... But even whether to execute the current Second Herrscher is a question that will take several months of debate to reach a conclusion. I personally feel that for the Herrscher of Knowledge, there is no simplest way. Killing her too directly. Of course, the Herrscher of Knowledge appears in the form of occupying the master's body, which basically means that the master... I can't guarantee that my opinions are not personal. "

"..."

"Although I hate to admit it, it seems that Su Shang and I can't do this. But if it were you, you should be able to do it, right? The former First Herrscher?"

"..."

Two pairs of dead fish eyes stared at each other quietly.

He was also silent, but the corners of Mikael's mouth were slightly pursed.

It's hard not to suspect that it was actually a suppressed smile.

"She seems to like you very much, and she even told you this."

Ling Shuang's dead eyes finally showed some fluctuations, and the outline became slightly rounder, as if someone who was too sleepy to open his eyes was trying to open his eyes as wide as possible.

"No, these are not what she told me, it's just that... the master left something for me."

The eyes that rarely showed emotion were closed, and in such a hurry, there was no time to hide the look of escape.

The moment his vision sank into darkness, even Ling Shuang, who had always been regarded as mean and cold, felt the sourness bursting out of his eyes, and... there was a small amount of liquid occupying the space between the eyeballs and eyelids. space.

I vaguely remember... No, it's not vague at all, it's just that it's still fresh in my memory.

No matter what, that day five hundred years ago is a memory that is impossible to forget.

On that day, after Mikael left, the master took her into the room alone, and the master and apprentice had a conversation that could not be described as brief but not lengthy either.

That's right, that's the time... "Master, you don't have a good eye for men."

To this day, when she thinks of those clever words, she can't help but feel proud in her heart. After all, the other six people could also see it, but she was the only one who spoke it out in front of the master.

But that wasn't the point of that conversation, it was...

The master said he wanted to pass on the mantle to her. What is the mantle?

"The so-called mantle is not a skill or wealth, it is just a secret... about me and about more people, it is just a dusty past."

This is what the master said.

"Although there is no enemy in this world that requires me to use all my strength to deal with it in a short period of time, once it gets to that point, all my memories of the past five thousand years will be burned away. I don't want to find it with great difficulty. A little something...and...heh."

Even if she recalled it five hundred years later, Ling Shuang still remembered every word her master said, even the subtle changes in her expression when she said these words.

She also understood that those words were not against her. If something like that hadn't happened, the person the master wanted to pass on the mantle to most would definitely be the senior sister. It was just a coincidence that she endured all this.

"Ling Shuang, I will give you a Yu Duchen feather that carries most of the memories about 'him'. There are two reasons for this: the first is as mentioned above, and the second is that if I If I am forced to the point where I need to burn my memory, then if nothing unexpected happens, the target of the battle should be him. When that time comes, I don’t want to hesitate because of this memory. It is now, it will be in the near future, and it will still be in the further future. . So, even if I lose my memory, you don’t need to give this feather to me in the process of regaining my memory. You just need to keep it and keep it. Maybe it will come in handy one day. "

Could it be... is now the day when it will come in handy?

Ling Shuang breathed a long sigh of relief.

From the moment she fell into memories, she felt a familiar sense of voyeurism.

The source of the peeping is not the Herrscher of Consciousness who stays in the sky. If she could do this, she would have done it before, not to mention the "feeling" is different.

Feeling, feeling, feeling... say important things three times.

Feeling is something that is difficult to describe, so I won’t describe it. In short, it’s just a feeling. If you don’t ask, it’s a feeling. If you ask, it’s still a feeling.

Her feeling told her that the sense of voyeurism originated from that man, and the elimination method also gave the same result. He could do things that the Herrscher of Consciousness could not do. It can only be said that this man was good at both the quality and the power of the Consciousness Power. Is he one who has mastered the law of Shandu far better than consciousness?

"That's it..."

Mikael's eyes narrowed into two curved slits, but he soon "awakened" and opened his eyes again, but everything in his eyes disappeared.

Whether it’s joking, looking forward to it, being tired, or dodging...

"give it to me."

Mikael stretched out his hand in front of Ling Shuang.

"I was still thinking before, why the memory of the Herrscher of Consciousness was still missing even though I had found all the Yu Duchen feathers that carry memories. I originally thought that memory was in the root where Hua's own consciousness was. I didn’t expect that she would give that memory to you.”

"Um?"

Ling Shuang's vision became dangerous in the blink of an eye.

"What do you mean? Collect Yu Duchen's feathers... what do you want to do?"

Although she had realized that "this feather might exist just for this day", whether to give this feather to a dangerous person like Mikael was a question worth discussing.

After all, Mikael's image in Ling Shuang's eyes has always been not very good.

When he first appeared, he took away the master's favor from everyone. Of course, this is a personal grudge, let's not talk about it for now.

Not long after, he single-handedly directed a tragedy with hundreds of thousands of casualties in Klosten.

Although the master did not deny his close relationship with Mikael, he also did not deny the fact that the two of them could have reached the point of fighting.

Coupled with Mikael's suspicious words, it was hard not to let Ling Shuang have some suspicions that should not have arisen at this moment.

On the other hand, Mikael's expression did not change at all. Even though Su Shang had been standing beside him with a sword in silence, he did not show even a little guilty look.

"What do I want to do? Isn't this natural? I want to awaken Hua's consciousness with all her memories."

Sometimes it's sincere, sometimes it's full of deception. Sometimes Mikael himself can't tell what the words that come out of his mouth belong to. But it doesn't matter. Since it's for the purpose of reaching that ending, even the worst lies can be done with a clear conscience.

Since there is a clear conscience, at least in the eyes of others, these words can be regarded as sincere.

"Seriously?"

Yu Duchen's feather has been grasped by Ling Shuang, but her expression seems to still have some distrust.

"Awakening with memory... a person who may have died, is this really possible?"

No, of course not.

If it's just relying on memory, it's naturally impossible.

Reality is not a middle school hot-blooded boy's manga. Relying on the idealistic structure, as long as the belief is firm and the will is strong, the impossible can become possible...

However, Mikael didn't want to do this.

At least what he is going to do next is not such a thing.

"I can do it, of course I can. The power of the Ruler of Reason is to turn the impossible into the possible, isn't it?"

Nodding without comment, Ling Shuang finally stopped hesitating.

She raised her hand and placed a brand new feather in Mikael's palm.

"Don't get me wrong, I still can't believe you. But now, I think there is no other choice but to do what you say."

"..."

"What's next, how do we leave here?"

"I'll stay here, after all, there's still unfinished business between her and me. But I can send you and those guys back to the real world first - ah, I have to say, when you get outside, don't do anything bad to my body while I can't move!"

"...Are you sick?"

Mikael suddenly put on a playful expression.

The same words, spoken from the Ruler of Knowledge and from Ling Shuang, who stared with dead eyes and spoke in a half-dead tone, really felt different.

"Oh, one last thing - there should be a kitten outside. You should have seen it, Paddington. Could you please take care of her?"
