Everyone is gathered here.
Akatsuki walked slowly and came between them, scanning everyone's face. They were all here, they formed an approximate circle shape, and Shigezuki-kun, who was riding on the back of the Tengu, was closest to him. Stepping on the solid dark frozen soil, Xiao stayed in front of She Ji and Xiao Liwu for a while, and then left temporarily. They all showed a little displeasure, and Xiao Liuwu bared his teeth like a ferocious wolf dog, with dissatisfaction written on his face. After the object returned to its original owner, Ye Xuici still stood quietly, seemingly not feeling uneasy. I don't know if it's because she is so calm, or because she believes in Akatsuki's promise to "return" the fragments to her.
Xiao circled half a circle and stopped in front of Wenying. Naturally, their relationship is the best here, and there's nothing wrong with that. Han Chang stood beside her, watching Xiao lift the fragment, and suddenly clenched his hand into a fist. With that force, the fragments will definitely prick your hand and cause blood to overflow. But no. The imaginary red color did not spread from his fingers. Instead, he seemed to have crushed something soft. At the same time, a weak wind spread out from the center of the circle, gently brushing their cheeks. Probably, this is some kind of power emitted when the fragment merges with him.
"I think I know your problem."
"Shuoyue Jun said... Wenjiu and the bad guys got together, is it true? I didn't believe it at first, but, my brother didn't even tell me, so I knew something was really wrong. The first day he saw me , didn't mention it, and I couldn't ask. I thought that even if there was any accident, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, there would be no news. I was afraid that I would be unhappy so I didn't say anything. How could I know that there was such a big change... Come and tell me, What's going on? I believe in you, and I only believe in you now."
She spoke so sincerely, with sad eyes, and made a request to the only friend who stayed with her all year round in the lonely snow-capped mountains. Even Xiao, who was willing to stay out of the world, could not refuse such a pair of pure and clear eyes. He nodded slightly and closed his eyes. A faint light overflowed from beneath the half-covered mask. That's when the cloud mirror comes into play. Under the bronze, Xiao opened the long-lost left eye.
"..."
He seemed about to say something, but hesitated. Han Zhang, who was beside Wenying, also felt his heart tighten. Of course he cares about his brother's situation and is eager to know where Wenjiu is. But Xiao just sighed and said to them:
"I have to say ugly things first. With only this mirror body, which is the size of a fingernail, I can only get a glimpse of the leopard and catch a glimpse. It doesn't mean that I can know the full picture of those scenes and even events as if I have a part of this mirror, just like I have the entire mirror. The whole story." As he said that, he looked at Xie Zhe on the other side, then glanced back at She Ji and the others, then turned around and continued, "I can guarantee the accuracy of the information I provided... but the details are a little brief. , it’s not me who has the final say. I will tell you as much as I see, and I won’t hide anything.”
After Xiao said so much, Wenying had a hard time listening. He could only vaguely hear Xiao saying that he could only get a rough idea. But a little bit of news would be good. She really wanted to know what happened to her fiancé who suddenly left that day. Her brother also found it difficult to take care of the family because of his affairs. Of course Xiao knew her stubbornness and persistence, and she actually said these words deliberately for others to hear.
"I will tell you what I saw - there is no evil messenger around Zhongli Wenjiu now."
Although Wenying still looked worried, her expression was somewhat happy. She knew deep down that it was just a clever remark, but she still felt some comfort. Jiao Mo gently stroked her shoulder, as if comforting her, but didn't say anything. However, Han Zhang and Xie Zhe looked at each other, their expressions still solemn. They knew better than the unexperienced Wenying that although what Xiao said was the truth, it didn't mean much. Maybe Wenjiu was just not with Lianyu during this period of time.
"Do you know where he is specifically?" Han Chang asked without hope.
"...He is still in the country we are in. But, far away from us."
"Are you saying that he might be inland now?" Jiaomo asked quickly.
Xiao just shook his head slightly, indicating that he was helpless.
Han Chang asked: "Then do you know where the lie is now?"
"I knew you would ask, so I just checked. I can only say that he is still some distance away from Wenjiu, but he is very close to us, so close that I can say...in our southeast direction."
"Are they leaving the border?!" Han Chang immediately remembered the location of the Tengu Tomb. "Is it possible that they are really going to the South Country and disturbing the peace of the Tengu again?"
The only snow-white giant in the black earth emits a string of unpleasant and complicated breath from its nose. The Shuangyue Lord on it immediately jumped down and stepped closer to them. Her expression was so solemn, and her previous sorrow was completely suppressed by the seriousness of the moment.
"As expected! This beast - it's disgusting, it must be reported as soon as possible..."
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. They all knew that the "beast" mentioned by Shuoyue Lord at this time probably did not refer to the Nightmare Tengu, but its owner. Several people were silent for a while, and it seemed that all the previous worries were about to be fulfilled. At this moment, She Ji on the other side suddenly shouted to them:
"Everyone, it is our great mercy to give you the opportunity first. I hope you will be more sensible and stop wasting unnecessary time and leave some opportunities for those in line, okay?"
They wanted to ignore this rude teasing, but they couldn't, because they were among the people Xiao promised. The next thing Xie Zhe wanted to do was raise their issues on behalf of Han Chang.
"Ling...where is Miss Ye?"
"I've never met her, it's going to take some time."
After that, Akatsuki closed the green eye again and opened the one they couldn't see. Indeed, as he said, it took him longer, but it wouldn't be a long time. After a while, he opened his eyes again. They couldn't read any information from his expression, which had remained unchanged from beginning to end.
"Well...that's bad news."
"What?"
Several people felt palpitations. For a moment, Xie Zhe's head felt light and almost empty. His body tilted slightly to one side uncontrollably. He didn't even notice it, but Jiao Mo suddenly came up to support him. Han Chang should have noticed, but he didn't. His mind was completely occupied by the last three words of that sentence.
"Yes, how bad is it?" Jiao Mo asked tentatively.
"Maybe you don't need to be too nervous... What I want to say is that I can't see her shadow in the world."
"Why doesn't this make people nervous?! Do you want to say that she is dead?"
Han Chang suddenly spoke loudly, making Wenying tremble slightly in fright. She rarely saw her brother like this. He was so excited that his tone changed. On the contrary, Xie Zhe seemed to understand something, frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully:
"You mean you can't see her?"
"That's right. I'm sorry that I didn't explain it well enough, which shocked Mr. Zhongli. Such misunderstandings have happened many times before." He glanced at Lord Shuangyue and continued, "Because the size of the mirror body is limited, I can There are very few places to see. When I say invisible, I really mean that I cannot capture it in the literal sense. For example, it is difficult for me to peek into places like the place between life and death, and now my sight is even more blocked. Maybe, she is hidden somewhere. She may even happen to pass through a certain spiritual vein, or she may be trapped in a tight barrier."
Jiao Mo nodded and said, "Indeed. Wuyong's barrier method is truly unique."
Xie Zhe and Han Zhang have certainly experienced this before. Han Chang seemed to have lost some of his energy, but he still couldn't be completely calm. In this way, it was as if these questions were not asked at all, and every answer was vague.
"I can only help you so far, I'm really sorry."
Xiao's tone did convey some regret and regret, and he probably saw through the hearts of several people.
"No matter what, thank you." Han Chang didn't feel like thanking you, but more like apologizing for his impulsiveness.
"Then is there anything you want to know?" Xiao looked at Jiaomo.
"Me?" Jiao Mo pointed to himself in surprise, "Hey, I really didn't expect that I was also included... Thank you so much. I am living outside, so when I ask this question, although I do have a lot of thoughts You need to know the current situation of people and things, but if you choose one, it’s really hard to choose.”
Shuoyue Jun advised: "Xiao keeps his promise, he will not keep this fragment after all. If you can't decide now, you will have no chance in the future."
"That's not the case." Xiao chuckled, "Since I agreed, you can keep it. If necessary in the future, even if I have to go back to Xueyan Valley, I will go. Do it now No, it’s because other people are more eager for answers, and time doesn’t allow it.”
"We understand." Xie Zhe nodded. And Jiaomo thanked him again.
Xiao continued: "Actually, I know you - I even paid attention to you for a while. Before you came to human territory, you worked hard to learn human language in the deep sea and explore the remains of human civilization... This makes me feel very strange. , so I observed it for a while. I hope you don’t mind."
Jiao Mo laughed: "Hahaha, how could it be? If you are willing to tell me, I can feel that you respect me, and you are not just watching indifferently and taking pleasure in it as others said."
"Oh, maybe you do think highly of me."
"Hey, hey, hey, how long do you plan to chat? I'm getting sleepy." It was Xiao Liuwu who spoke this time. He yawned widely and continued, "Reminiscing about old times has to be done in different occasions. No one cares about you. Those boring past. Now that you agreed to help, you are still chattering there. You, Mirror, are you trying to regret it?"
