Xie Zhe looked at her back hopelessly, feeling his throat full of soreness. His voice cannot be heard, and in this place, it is impossible to ask for help from the outside world. Xie Zhe could only follow her sadly, step after step. He raised his hand slightly, wanting to touch the long hair behind her.
what to do? What else can be done. She is intact and sound, but she is about to die.
She couldn't hear her own voice.
…
No, maybe... it's not completely impossible.
Xie Zhe suddenly remembered something and started groping around on his body. Soon, he took out a bell from his arms as if he had found a treasure. The bell is entirely made of pure silver, but no matter which side you look at it, you can clearly see a curved, golden crescent moon.
This is Huang Quan Ling.
Belonging to that Lord Shuoyue... Huangquan Ling.
He held it in his hands almost tremblingly, fearing that it would disappear if it fell to the ground. This is the only relic left by Luyin Xuejian. After she left, the bell was kept by them. Xie Zhe stood at the back and rang the bell cautiously. Since there was no bell rope, he couldn't hear anything. He was afraid that what he was doing was meaningless. ??????????????? All of this is like a desperate move with no choice.
But Ling Huan turned around.
Her expression was a bit surprised, as if she really heard something. Xie Zhe trembled all over and froze for only a short moment, then he immediately shook the bell in his hand vigorously. Ling Huan quickly stepped forward and looked at him blankly. He couldn't hide his excitement, but he knew that she still couldn't see him.
Ling Huan opened his mouth slightly and stretched out his hand, as if trying to touch something. Her hand touched his chest, and even though he didn't really touch anything, he felt that something was ignited here.
He rang the silent bell, step by step, taking her away from here.
As if aware of something. Ye Linghua's steps gradually became firmer, as if he was convinced that what he was doing was right. Xie Zhe felt unspeakably overjoyed, but he did not dare to relax at all.
There was a tearing sadness in Xie Zhe's heart. He couldn't explain why, but the pain was even worse now than when he thought he was going to lose Ling Huan. Why is this? Perhaps at that time, he really thought she would never come back. But the danger that comes with Guan Luoyin gives her a chance of survival. When hope is mixed with despair, the presence of despair is particularly noticeable - much stronger than when there is only despair.
It was precisely because of this risk that he forced himself to use up all his energy, hold his breath and concentrate, and lead her away from the place of death step by step.
In order to pay attention to the road ahead, he had to turn around and walk ahead with only the bell. But he tried his best to keep himself next to Ling Huan to ensure that he could notice her more or less out of the corner of his eye. Sometimes when Ling Huan hesitated, he would ring the bell more often than usual. Ling Huan seemed to hear this urging rhythm and quickly followed. But most of the time, she was still in the position behind Xie Zhe.
"Azhe?"
He suddenly froze.
He heard Ling Hu's voice. For a moment, he had a strong urge to look back at her.
"Azhe, is that you? Look at me."
Well, why wouldn't he want to do that? He missed her sound and complete appearance, her agile and graceful figure, and her clear eyes that were always calm and bright. But he can't do that. He always kept Master Lintian's words in mind. Even though...he did almost do it at that first moment.
"Azhe, why are you ignoring me?"
Her voice was a little aggrieved. But Xie Zhe was not prepared to answer, and just shook the bell in his hand repeatedly. He dared not waste a moment. Even though the emotion of staring was so strong, he had to restrain it. It's like using a net to tighten your heart, using a stick to fix your head, and then using nails to pin your sight to the unknown darkness ahead.
Because he knew it was a lie.
There was no way he could hear anything here. He remembered it very clearly and knew deeply that the voices of people who had not yet escaped from the underworld and returned to the human world were like being isolated in another world. An invisible wall stands between the two of them and will never disappear until the final moment. Xie Zhe didn't know whether this was something from before that was imitating Ling Huan's voice to trick him into turning back, tricking him into staying here forever and never returning to the human world.
I will never be fooled by you. he thought to himself.
Seeing that he ignored her, the voice began to cry aggrievedly. But once he knew its purpose, he would have no sympathy at all. What he wanted to hear was the voice that truly belonged to Ling Huan, the voice of a living person. Rather than a parody of those dark, unidentified, non-human monsters.
???????????????Looking at Xie Zhe's unmoved look, the voice finally took off its disguise.
"What an amazing concentration, Mr. Xie."
The moment he heard the familiar voice, Xie Zhe felt that his heart was crushed by some force. A cold, painful feeling overflowed from my chest and reached my throat. He was about to vomit.
He didn't die.
No, that's not right... He has naturally reached the underworld. But Xie Zhe remembered that he had drawn such a conclusion from this evil angel.
Now you can do whatever you want with your limbs and bones, and your entire life has broken away from humanity and is directly connected to hell.
He actually forgot such an important thing.
Uneasiness spread throughout his body. Fear flows in every vein, anxiety overflows from every pore. There was no way he could fight the lie here. Except for this bell that belonged to Lord Shuoyue, there was nothing on him that could be called a weapon. And hell is not humanity’s home turf. Here, he couldn't even turn back.
It's like fish on a eucalyptus board, ready to be slaughtered.
Wait a minute...calm down. Xie Zhe took a deep breath and began to carefully analyze the current situation. If there was a way to frame him in the lie from the beginning, such deceptive tactics should not be used. What's more, the lies in this world are "dead", so he probably has nothing to do with a living person, and can only use such cheap tricks. Therefore, although the things on the way here can make him feel touched, they probably can't really hurt him.
In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Perhaps after thinking for too long, Ling Huan stood there hesitantly, and she took a step back. There was no ringing for a while, and she felt uneasy. She completely disappeared from Xie Zhe's sight, and Xie Zhe immediately rang the bell again. She could hear again and immediately ran after him. In order not to stay here too long, Xie Zhe took the risk and quickened his pace.
Ling Huan felt a little strange, but she didn't want to give up the pursuit of the ringtone. Where the living are not visible, the beautiful but foreboding scenery is so dull and boring. Only this clear ringtone came from another world, filled with hope, and rang alone for her.
"Mr. Xie is so sincere and sincere, and so firm. Even I admire him deeply."
There is no need to say too many compliments. Take back your tricks.
Xie Zhe thought to himself, but didn't bother to say it out loud. Ignore this guy and just walk back. When he arrives at the place where he came from, he can immediately return to the world with Ling Huan. Even if his lies are not causing trouble in the world now, wasting words with him here is just a waste of time.
"It's true that I respect you," his voice kept following the two of them. "Thinking of this, you still do it seriously. It's really your ability. When you leave the realm of desire, you touch the color, and when you touch the color, you retain its shape. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can achieve."
Xie Zhe didn't know what his purpose was in saying these words. He only knew that he would never be deceived. Although he couldn't see the lies, the sound was really unpleasant, like a mosquito that could only hear the sound but not see the shadow.
"Are you really not going to stay? Believe it, even if you look back, you won't be lost. Your life is not over, how could you die so easily? You will fall into hell, but you don't have to suffer punishment. After all, , you are a pure good person who has been educated. Without any sins, it is a pleasure to easily enter and exit the hell realm. To be honest, hell is not as desolate and terrifying as you living people think. There are many interesting scenery, I believe you can Your eyes...will definitely know how to appreciate it."
"Since it's such an interesting place, just stay alone."
After all, Xie Zhe couldn't help but cursed back. There was nothing to lose anyway, it would be too much of a loss if he was only provoked unilaterally. Besides, these words sounded so harsh, which really made him unhappy.
"I've always been there." The voice chuckled twice, "Haha... you are just bound by the dust net. If you were not trapped by love, you would make the same choice as me."
"I will never be fooled by you!"
Xie Zhe said in a shocked voice. His voice was so sonorous and powerful that even he was a little surprised. After this firm statement, the lies stopped. Everything went silent again, as if nothing had happened.
He didn't think too much, just ringing the bell and moving forward steadily. He had been running before and had no idea the journey would be so long. In any case, Ergenzi is much purer. He led Ling Quan, every step he took was so uneasy. He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he didn't feel tired at all - Ling Huan didn't seem to feel it either.
Finally, he saw the light.
Xie Zhe took a deep breath, unable to contain his excitement. He pointed with his other hand to the white color that was so close, and said softly to Ling Quan behind him:
"Look, we're going back."
They are about to go back to the familiar world.
He had been waiting for this moment for too long, too long. Xie Zhe thought that when they both wake up, they must express their gratitude to Master Lintian. Then he would place Ling Quan as far away from danger as possible, and then fight side by side with his partners. He suddenly had the confidence to solve all the troubles in this world. They would all be so happy to see the lively Ling Quan again. Xie Zhe could almost imagine Wen Ying's excited face. He really didn't know what chance humans had of winning against the monster in its full glory. But if Ling Quan was with them, he felt that he could do anything.
"Ling Hu."
At this moment, the tense string of reason was completely severed in Xie Zhe's heart.
This is not his voice.
This is not his voice.
He couldn't see Ling Huan anymore, not at all. Without any hesitation, he turned back anxiously, only to see the frightened Ling Quan fall from the flat darkness. And the moment he turned back, he clearly heard the long-lost voice belonging to Ling Huan that he had been thinking about day and night.
Screams pierced the darkness.
And he fell with her.
