"Are you talking about using amber to restore Ling Yu's arm to its original state?" Han Yang tried to reorganize her statement.
Miyin nodded and asked, "Isn't this okay?" After saying that, she looked at Jiyue Lord.
Mr. Jiyue showed a bit of sadness. He was confused - because he didn't know. He hesitated again and again and said:
"Well, uh, Miss Xue's idea... we can't draw any conclusions before trying it. The role of amber is wider than we imagined. I don't know if it will bring additional effects. Back then, we made a decision with the ancestor of the Tengu The person who signed the contract once had his life hanging by a thread and was saved by Kohaku. Since then, he has been given the power to talk to monsters with his heart, and he can also be credited with subduing the Great Tengu. See what Miss Ye means, Do you just want to get rid of this power, or do you want to have a stable and peaceful life?"
Ye Lingyu didn't know either. She wanted to say that she just wanted everything to get back on track and didn't want to be like this. She didn't know how to define it. Is she still truly human? Judging from appearance and temperament, there is no doubt about the answer. But she was very scared. She was worried that if she dug deeper into this issue, she would become an alien. She didn't want to be any different from the people around her, because she wasn't sure if she saw another individual who was the same as herself, could she not think about whether that person was a monster? She wanted to be healed, truly healed, healed to the way she had been - by getting rid of the arm she had now.
But can this really be enough? The divine power Ji Yuejun mentioned was very desirable, but she was still not interested.
While her friends might come to different conclusions, at least to others, it doesn't seem to matter. Whether it is a demon spirit that extracts memories from the Wangui Zhi, or a special power granted by a magic weapon, these things that are different from ordinary people are no different in nature. But appearance - appearance is obvious. This dead-like arm is certainly more direct and arouses more discussion than the invisible changes. It's not obvious enough now, but if others pay more attention, they will be able to spot the clues, let alone people who have to get along with each other for many years. There is no way to predict future changes, and everything is unknown. The most important thing is that this incident did not happen to them, so whatever Ling Huan thinks is reasonable, of course she should consider herself.
"I think the first thing you all need to figure out is this..." After a brief silence, Lord Jiyue continued, "That is the change in Miss Ye's right arm. Is it a disease?"
"What are you talking about? Of course... of course." Xue Miyin thought this question was strange. She subconsciously wanted to refute, but at the last moment she found some truth in these words. Indeed, it is true that he was injured by a living corpse, but the wound has healed, so what happens after that is also considered part of the "disease"? Injury, poisoning, fever... There are many forms of illness, and she was sure that Ling Huan would be classified into one of them. The moment she grabbed Ling Huan's hand during the crisis, the way she felt it and what she saw convinced Mi Yin that she was "sick."
But, does "changed" mean "sick"?
And sometimes, being "sick" is not just injury, poisoning, fever...
People tend to define being different from usual as being sick, but in some cases, that person may be born like this. Can you say who is born sick? Other than the fact that it's missing arms and legs, or has a few extra parts, or it's just dumb and stupid... there's not much to say. She remembered a time when she used to stay with someone who had a very special daughter. The girl was a little younger than her. According to her parents, since she learned to speak, she could only say the same things, which they couldn't understand, and occasionally she would say things that no one had taught her. Moreover, she never goes out and doesn't like to interact with others. If other children insist on playing with her, she will even go crazy and scream. They all said that the child was sick...but Miyin sometimes didn't think so. Her ability to temporarily stay at their home was not only a request from Mr. Shuangyue, but also an obvious issue that both parties took into consideration - their biological daughter needed a companion. Although both she and the person involved felt that this was unnecessary. Miyin thought that she just didn't like talking to others and just liked to play alone, but the whole world was forcing her to change her original intention. A very special thing about her is that she has a photographic memory of many things she sees, and can even clearly describe the time and moment they happened. The first thing Mi Yin heard was that the taciturn woman talked about a small incident that happened at 3:00 noon one day when she was two and a half years old. Although she wasn't sure she was right, she knew from experience that she was never wrong. She just... has a very good memory, and sometimes she gets it wrong with things from the recent past. After all, all the memories are vivid in her mind. Miyin even thought that this was amazing, almost no one could do such a thing.
But, even so, her parents and all the neighbors felt that the child was sick, very sick.
"Is she really sick? Will she be okay?" She asked as Mr. Shuangyue picked her up and left.
"...I don't think so." Mr. Shuangyue said vaguely, "I have always felt that she is just not suitable to live here."
She understood that to those ordinary people, she was indeed sick. And the same goes for myself. Not every place is so welcoming to her, and most of the time, she can hear others talking about her—saying she is sick. She always seemed to be talking to animals, flowers, and even the air. It seems that the family was in a hurry to send him away, and they were also worried that their daughter would be taken further away. But Miyin knew that she was not sick, and even knew why she was like this. She was just too lazy to explain.
So is Ling Huan sick? not necessarily. People regard talents that are different from their own as diseases, and they are confused, rejected, and want to erase them.
"But... didn't you say that amber can heal injured people?"
"You have recovered." Lord Jiyue said to her, "You are healthy, I can feel it."
Xie Zhe frowned slightly, not knowing what to say, but Han Chang said: "It's good news, at least it's not bad."
"Musuki-kun needs that baby more... I really hope Shigetsuki-kun can know about it soon."
Miyin took a sip of tea and said nothing.
"By the way," Xie Zhe asked Lord Jiyue, "You said earlier that you came here to deal with the troubles left by Lord Maoyue. What happened?"
"There is an evil angel here." Lord Jiyue said straightforwardly, "Evil angel, do you know?"
Han Chang replied: "Of course I know. I heard that there has been a lot of chaos these days... I don't know if it has anything to do with the living corpses."
"It's not that it's chaotic - the situation is already quite serious. All this is because there are too many people in the world. It is true that when the ten evils become monsters one by one and then eliminate them one by one, it can indeed maintain the human world to a certain extent. order. But this is not a long-term solution... We are still looking for other methods. But since there are already signs of evil, the top priority is to prevent everything from developing to an irreversible point." Lord Jiyue started nagging, and it was obvious that , he had held these words back for a long time but never mentioned them to anyone. He paused again before continuing: "As for the matter of living corpses... As far as we know, it has nothing to do with the Ten Evils. But everything can never be inferred based on the surface - we still know that too much few."
"Then, do you have Zou Wuchang who specializes in dealing with living corpses?" Ling Huan asked curiously.
"I don't know. Not everyone in Huangquan December is closely connected. We act relatively independently and accept different tasks from the Lord. However, even though there are many human beings in the world, there are very few people who are suitable to be impermanent. It is euphemistically called 'December', but there are actually only ten people today. That gentleman always said... The world today is full of mediocre people. The ten evil monsters are changing at the moment, making us even more busy. Living corpses are everywhere. In the eyes of that adult, the threat is far less than that of an evil messenger. That adult has a long-term view and has his own reasons. To be honest, even if the situation is more serious than the small things we have dealt with before... we have no ability to do everything. Everything is divided. Prioritization, what the Six Paths of Impermanence give priority to, is also relative.”
"well……"
They all sighed one after another. After a while, Han Chang asked him again:
"Then what kind of monster is this evil envoy you are talking about? We are going to visit Xueyan Valley recently, will we run into that guy? If we happen to run into him by chance and you are not here, how should we deal with it?"
Indeed, this is the most important thing. Lord Jiyue never hid anything from them, so he said bluntly:
"It's an evil envoy named Snake, and she lives up to her evil name. She has been very active recently and has done many evil things. Utsuki-kun was responsible for tracing her before me, and I just joined this task a while ago."
"Why, is she difficult to deal with?" Han Chang asked.
"Well, it would be a lie to say that it is not difficult to deal with. Regardless of the horror of being an evil angel, she exists in a special way. This child's body is spliced together from two completely different parts, and in some way, She lived with monsters before she transformed, and cannot be defined as a human being. But... she is not a half-demon. She also found a special weapon, which is very dangerous in her hands, not only for her, We must also take away the weapons. If you see a half-year-old child who looks neither human nor demon, and is carrying a strange short-hand weapon, be extremely careful. Don't listen to a word she says. That weapon is really special. Although I have never seen it and don’t know how to describe it, you will definitely recognize it if you see it.”
Lord Jiyue said, and they listened carefully—except Xue Miyin. In fact, when she heard those three words "Shuangyue Lord", she already had some emotions in her heart. To this day, she is still so respected that even the other three people who have never met her have a good impression of her through word of mouth. Yes, she was once so close to her, but she was also blinded by that false appearance, and it was only today that she was able to wake up.
She had a very strange feeling - Lord Jiyue would occasionally look at her when he was talking. Logically speaking, it is polite to keep your eyes on each listener for a while when chatting, but she just felt awkward, as if the blind man could really see herself, even see through her skin, and stare directly at what was in her heart. Think what you want.
"I'm a little hot... go for a walk."
She greeted a few people at the table, got up and left.
