When Yin Huan woke up, there was no one in the small guest room except herself.
She got up and saw that the place was empty. It was hard to tell that anyone had stayed here. She tried her best to recall, and remembered that she saw a beautiful lady last night, who called herself Jiao Mo, and who once walked the world with her sister. She heard Jiao Mo say a lot, but for some reason, she didn't remember anything when she woke up. Could it be that he was asleep? Or is there some kind of magic that makes people lose their memory...
Feeling uneasy, she hurriedly got dressed and walked out of the room. The strange thing is that there is no living person in the entire hotel - of course, there is no dead person either. There was a thin layer of dust accumulated everywhere on the tabletop, windowsill, and floor. It seems like no one has cleaned this place for a while. If you think about it carefully, the bed doesn't seem to be clean. She still has some dirt on her body...
What's going on with this store? A trace of panic surged in Yin Huan's heart, and he hurriedly escaped from this strange place. She was completely refreshed, and any remaining tiredness completely dissipated. Walking on the empty street only made her more uneasy.
Where are people? Where have everyone gone?
The plants on the street were neglected and grew wildly. Some flower pots should be rotated along the sun, but the sunny side is already very dense, and several flower pots have fallen off the windowsill due to uneven weight. There is really no human sound in the village, only rustling little animals sneaking quietly. A bold mouse rushed past her, and even this little fright made Yin Huan's heart beat like a drum.
A scene easily emerged in her mind: the town that was previously occupied by the evil angel of hatred. Everyone will eventually disappear and be devoured, maybe leaving their bones behind, maybe not. At best, everyone here may have evacuated, but at worst, there aren't even any bones left. But maybe, this is just such a town - someone once lived here.
impossible!
Yin Hu shook his head vigorously. She quickly rejected this hypothesis, because she clearly came with Jiao Mo. But she recalled carefully again. Did she remember the faces of any passers-by in the village yesterday? It doesn't seem like there really is. The impression is that there are just...someone there. Really? What do the hotel's shopkeeper, accountant, and other guests look like?
She really couldn't remember. No matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember any of the figures that appeared in her memory yesterday. The only thing I remember clearly is Jiao Mo's beautiful and sad face. She was so real that it made Yin Huan question the authenticity of other things.
But where has she gone? She just... left? No messages were left. No, Yin Quan even felt as if she had never been here. Everything yesterday was like a magnificent illusion. The hallucination made it difficult for her to doubt. But other than that, she couldn't find anything to convince herself.
As if he had been deceived. Yin Huan felt very blocked. She was scared and sad. She should have remembered everything Lady Kyaukmo had told her, about her sister and her sister's friends. But like a dream, the longer she stays in reality, the memories of another world will fade.
Or is the current so-called reality just a strange dream?
"It's not a dream." A familiar voice said, "This is indeed reality. The place you came to is a land drained by evil spirits. I did a little investigation, and it seems that...the evil of greed There was nothing valuable in the village worth taking away, so she managed to steal the manpower as a backup resource."
Is it an evil angel again...but what was yesterday's vision?
"Illusion?" Yingyue Jun said in confusion, "I was not here yesterday. I thought you just... randomly picked a place to rest. There is no residual evil spirit here. I thought you were good at choosing places."
…
Indescribable panic gripped Yin Huan's heart and soul.
Something was out of control, something beyond her control—herself, or some other external object? There was nothing she could do, which made her extremely disappointed. Could she no longer trust her own judgment?
"Your condition seems... very bad." Yingyue Jun said.
She didn't know what to say. She originally wanted to keep everything in her heart and handle it by herself, but what happened so far was beyond her personal ability. She was weighing whether she should express her confusion—to the impermanence of six paths that invaded her thoughts and made it difficult to distinguish her position.
"You have been restraining yourself recently... Well, I know that it is not easy to open up your heart. Out of respect for you, I will not go into your deeper thoughts and pry into what you want. Hidden things that I shouldn’t touch. I also know that you don’t trust me, and you only made such a choice out of the need to survive. Yes, you are just an ordinary and weak human woman. Magic can't defeat any monsters, and brute strength can't be compared to stronger humans. Being able to survive until now without suffering any damage basically depends on luck. Maybe you don't like what I say... but you will also admit that this is To be honest, right? I hope you will also think about it, and you can borrow a little bit of my strength when you face problems that you can't handle yourself. I will definitely help you, you know."
Ying Yuejun's voice switched between different female voices, some of which Yin Huan had heard before and even thought they were familiar. These words are indeed not nice to hear, but they are also true. Yin Huan was also wondering whether he really couldn't make it to Death Shadow Pavilion with his own strength. She sighed deeply, feeling sad for her weakness. Raising her hand, the stone glowed with the warmth of her palm, and she chose silence together.
Speaking of which... Jiao Mo, have you really met Ling Huan? Did Ling Hu really live with Jiao Mo? Is the part she still remembers true, or is it some kind of completion that she made without permission, or was she deceived by something unknown from beginning to end? Which part of these words can be believed, and which part is fabricated? Who is making this up?
She recalled the remaining, broken memories of yesterday. If she couldn't even trust her own memory, she really didn't know what else she could choose to believe. Do people have to believe in something to live in this world? Yin Huan didn't know, but she knew that she just didn't want to live in confusion.
In an area roughly between this village and Qinglize, one of the instigators of the evacuation of this village was sitting in a sedan chair, eating fruit happily. Fei made some connections and asked his superiors to relocate him to a county in the south. Generally speaking, she doesn't want to move too far away, after all, her belongings are really difficult to move. But during this time, she still tried her best to transfer valuable things and put them in her newly built treasure house. Less valuable and fragmentary items can be stored separately in different banks. In the previous county, there was really nothing worth continuing to exploit. What's more, if treasures are piled in one place for too long, someone will always become suspicious and worry about them all day long.
As for why we chose the South, it’s not difficult to understand. This place is relatively far away from the previous place, so you can always find more valuable and valuable things. She is a very special evil angel. She is really not interested in humans themselves. She only likes the value of objects given by humans. But when people can no longer assign value to items, or in other words, the ability to assign value becomes limited, then she will not be so easily satisfied. Compared with these, making yourself the measure of value itself seems to be effective.
Moreover, she wanted to choose a place closer to Death Shadow Pavilion. Ye Xuici was not her friend, but relatively speaking, he was a good bridge of communication in the Shadow Pavilion. She needs to cooperate with the Shadow Pavilion to get more valuable things into her pocket. The value of items can only be maximized when they are circulated, so she needs to have a "business relationship" with the Shadow Pavilion.
If possible, I really want to work as a treasury manager there - but it's too easy to find out how to enrich one's own pockets. It would be more suitable for her to take the opportunity to use the worthless ones and exchange them for valuable ones. As long as the old things are replaced and they are useful to the Shadow Pavilion, isn't this a win-win situation? Pei thought to himself that although he likes money, he is not selfish at all. He is really a good person among evil spirits. After all, she is so gentle compared to those violent guys who slaughter the city at every turn.
In this case, it would not be so easy for the annoying Six Paths Impermanence other than Death Shadow Pavilion to target themselves first. All in all, first find a way to gather the people from the surrounding villages into the town under your jurisdiction, and then develop the edges and expand the territory... This place itself is indeed not very profitable, so let's play as a city lord first. If you do a good job later and report the results to the court, you may get some reward.
And Qinglize also contains some very valuable things - those sparkling ores. Whether it is used to refine demonic power or simply used as jewelry, it is very good. Human beings really don't understand the value of these blue stones. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, this place has not been vigorously developed. Now that we have enough manpower, as for the old, weak, sick and disabled, we have to squeeze out the last value of their lives. But...are things like Qingli considered the resources of the Shadow Pavilion? She had already discussed this with the people in the Shadow Pavilion and found an appropriate time to talk about it.
But those stones are just ordinary after all... they will pale in comparison to some things.
After swallowing the last grape, Li took out a piece of crystal clear blue amber. Penetrating through the curtains on the sedan chair, the weak sunlight reflects the cold colors. She has long begun to understand the value of these things... Although gathering all the magic weapons together is a very dangerous thing and will be watched by the six impermanences. However, as long as you have a good relationship with the Shadow Pavilion and weigh the choice of magic weapon, you can finally get some benefits. Until now, she still misses Chi Zhenzhu. She had to know whose hands it was now.
As for how to make people feel that the magic weapon is absolutely safe in her hands, this is not a difficult task.
Just let them be destroyed so that they no longer have the power to be magic weapons.
