The light screen went out instantly, like a door slamming shut in front of Luo Binhan's nose. He turned his head silently, and stared at each other for a few seconds.
"She's anxious." Luo Binhan said proudly.
"You're dead." ∈ reminded him solemnly.
He floated up and faced the bed, conjured up a black top hat and pressed it on his chest, and bowed three times according to the etiquette of Luo Binhan's hometown. When he was about to give a condolence speech, the blue magpie came back, holding a small jar of plant juice in his arms.
"Luo Han, I didn't find the wine you mentioned. But I got some mixed plant juice from the greenhouse, which should help you activate your blood... What are you laughing at?"
"I remembered something happy." Luo Binhan said without blinking.
Lan Que looked at him confusedly, then looked again. When it turned its attention to the latter, ∈ winked at it desperately.
"What does this mean?" it asked.
"I think you'd better reconsider your friendship standards." ∈ said.
Luo Binhan waved him over, and then asked Lan Que to get closer. He looked at the skull and said seriously and enthusiastically: "Blue Magpie, we are friends, right?"
Lan Que hugged the bedrail alertly: "Do you have bad news again?"
Luo Binhan denied it repeatedly, and then explained with a smile: "I'm just a little curious. Look at this chip. It's round and bright. My dream was weird and long. How can it be so weird?"
"Strange? But that's how it is in the Moon Realm."
"Yes, yes, I know. It's not that I don't believe you, the main thing is that I want to gain experience. You said that this chip has no eyes and no mouth, how do you know if I have any needs?"
"Oh, that's easy! Usually you just need to express your clear intention for the token. For example, throw it symbolically, press it on the gaming table, or express your intention directly with words. The magic of ancient law is in There is always a lot of flexibility in this aspect, I guess this is to make it easier to deal with mortals?”
"Like this?" Luo Binhan said. He raised his hand and threw up the chips. The round coins circled in the air more than a dozen times and fell neatly among them.
Luo Binhan immediately touched his eyes and didn't feel any difference.
"Are you sure that's how it's used?" he asked. Then Blue Magpie screamed and slapped him.
"Wake up Luo Han!" it shouted, "You are hypnotized! Stay away from that ritual vessel, it is interfering with your mind!"
Luo Binhan blocked the rest of the slap with a pillow, and took advantage of the blue magpie's attack to say, "It doesn't have it. I just want to try."
"Try it! It will eat your soul! It will make you serve an unknown demon for ten thousand years! And that's a situation we can only imagine!"
"That's right," ∈ interjected from the side, "it might also completely block your butt hole."
"Fart, why did it do that?"
"It's just to stop you from farting. If one less creature farts, the Sumifan Galaxy will be less dangerous. The creatures there are really too sensitive, do you understand? The little bit of skatole you produce will kill them. "
Luo Binhan was not sure whether "Sumifan Galaxy" was a real place name, or perhaps it was just a lingo made up to ridicule him. As a patient, he asked ∈ to get him a corkscrew, and then climbed down from the bed holding the medicine bottle. By now his hands and feet were almost recovered and he was able to walk slowly on his own.
"I can help you go to the toilet." ∈ said.
"I'm not going to the bathroom."
"Then where are you going with a bottle of stimulant? A small hotel?"
Luo Binhan put on his shoes, wiped his face and said, "I'm going to stuff this thing into your captain's mouth."
∈ She changed herself into a women's evening dress on the spot, surrounded herself with the phantom of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, and then blew a kiss to Luo Binhan crazily. Luo Binhan couldn't bear it anymore and immediately rushed out of the room and fled.
He bolted down the hallway. The call of the blue magpie came from far behind. It was obviously not using "simple floating", and the sound was getting closer and closer to Luo Binhan.
"Luo Han!"
It scraped next to Luo Binhan, and his entire body flew across the air, almost parallel to the ground.
"Where are you going?" it followed Luo Binhan and said, "You should stay on the boat now and put down the chip in your hand! It is too dangerous for you!"
Luo Binhan didn't bother to answer. He just ran as hard as he could, as if there was a dragon chasing behind him. Until Lan Que suddenly accelerated and circled to the front of the corridor, blocking his way.
"You started again." Lan Que said breathlessly, "Just like the time we just met. You became manic, rude, self-assertive, and completely unable to listen to others. I don't think this is normal for you. State. What are you so angry about? Just because the Xuanhong Jade used a planet-level spell?"
"Yeah, I'm sure you're not surprised. You guys use spells to blow up the sun every day, right?"
"Of course not! I admit that planet-level spells are rare, and I also know that it will definitely not be easy. Is this what you are worried about, Luo Han? Because that spell will cost a very high price? Do you think I am a magician? Researchers wouldn't be able to guess this? But let me be honest, I think if you get involved now, it will only make things worse. You have been under a 'curse', Luo Han! You have to understand what this means. Any decision you make could be distorted to a negative effect."
These words did not bring any feelings to Luo Binhan, anger or shame. Those feelings seemed very far away from him at the moment. Fortunately, this time he didn't have any hostility towards Blue Magpie. He didn't want to hurt the other party.
"This is not a curse." He said briefly to Lan Que, "I am very conscious now, although you may not believe it."
"No, I believe it."
Luo Binhan was stunned for a moment. Blue Magpie didn't seem to be talking angrily. It floated steadily in the air, looking at Luo Binhan with a bit of regret.
"I used to think it was all caused by a curse." It slowed down and said almost gently, "But now I don't think so. At least it didn't come out of nowhere... Every time you talk to me, I feel your spirit Not focused on reality, as if it is still somewhere far away. I think there is something broken in your heart, and you are trying to forget about it, which is why you always take the most extreme measures when faced with loss. Practice. I don’t know what made you become like this, or maybe this is the result of many causes - but it is indeed a part of your personality, Luo Han, I am beginning to think that the curse in your eyes is not It changes you, it just arouses a certain part of you, a particularly bad part. When you are provoked, you are like a gambler who can't afford to lose anything. He only bets everything or wins big. , or die. But do you know what makes me most uneasy, Luo Han? When I think back on all the situations since we met, I always feel that your goal is not to win, but to die."
Luo Binhan never thought that Lan Que would comment on him like this, but for a while he didn't know how to reject it. His thoughts were still wrapped up in more distant matters.
"Why do they do this?" he asked the blue magpie, "putting a curse on a mirror, or putting a coin in someone's throat, what good does it do to them? Just because it can eat some souls?"
"We explain it this way. The concept of ancient laws is its own system, and no one can know what the 'original species' are thinking. We don't even know whether they are 'thinking'. Can the soul bring power to them? Or is that just out of some anthropomorphic interest? Besides, sometimes they don't ask for souls. Loyalty, wealth, reputation... they sometimes take away these, as long as that's what you value."
"But it had to be told to me beforehand?"
"But it must tell you in advance." Blue Magpie said, "They don't know how to conceal and lie, Luo Han. Because their language is innate, it is a spell and spell in itself, and every syllable will have consequences. .”
This answer was enough for Luo Binhan.
"It didn't tell me any consequences." He said to Blue Magpie with certainty. "It didn't ask for it from me, but it gave me a suggestion that I couldn't refuse."
"Maybe you just don't know what it's asking of you."
"Then let's wait until we find out. What if it's betting on me with someone else?"
Luo Binhan bypassed Lan Que and went straight to the storage room of the sub-cabin aircraft. As a result, the door was tightly closed and refused to be opened for him.
∈ made a face at him on the screen: "Instructions from the captain, no one is allowed to use the aircraft now."
Luo Binhan skillfully drew his scimitar. He told himself that there was definitely nothing to regret. Whether before or after making the decision, this was definitely a choice he made proactively.
He used his machete to cut through the metal door and successfully broke through to the aircraft. But the aircraft itself was also locked, and all his identity characteristics could not be verified. This was obviously done by Yaleriga.
Luo Binhan began to think about how to find a loophole so that ∈ could drive the entire Silence into Yaleriga's face. At this time, the blue magpie floated in silently. It sprinkled a handful of pale golden powder at the aircraft and recited a long and difficult to pronounce spell.
Golden branches and leaves crawled out from the gaps in the aircraft. They wrap around the entire shell like spider silk, and then spread toward the floor and walls.
∈ jumped out of the air immediately.
"Hey!" it protested, "this thing has a spiritual field! It's destroying our hull materials!"
"Oh, yes, that's right." Lan Que said, "This is a powerful quick-planting spell that uses the sap of the Tree of Life as raw material. It can fill up the ship in five minutes, and you can't quickly Kill it, because I'm holding a Homo sapiens hostage on this ship. If you destroy my tree, I'll tear up your potted plants - this must be a high-level emergency, right? You The security risks must be completely eliminated, such as throwing this aircraft out with me. Of course, I will bring the hostages with me, so as to ensure my safety. You certainly can't judge 100% whether I can carry out my threat, and The hostages must survive at all costs, right? So you will throw me and the aircraft to the commander of this ship and let me negotiate with her face to face!"
"You're great!" ∈ said with a choked voice.
It waved its hand decisively, and the gravity in the room instantly changed direction. Luo Binhan and Lan Que smashed the hatch of the aircraft together, and then the hatch automatically opened, locking the two of them tightly inside the aircraft.
The navigation and positioning window quickly popped up on the screen, and the location of the savage village was automatically selected. ∈ said sternly on the radio: "Set your conditions! But don't hurt the hostages! Again, don't hurt the hostages!"
"I want to negotiate face to face with your commander!" Lan Que shouted.
The aircraft was like an arrow leaving the string, and was thrown out of Silence impatiently. It wasn't until they were traveling through the dark clouds of the night that Luo Binhan finally raised his eyes to look at Lan Que.
Lan Que sat motionless, then clasped his palms together and raised them in front of his chest like a religious believer praying.
"I am making a wish." It said to Luo Binhan, "I am making a wish to the living leaf who told me what a mage is. What you will get today will at least be worth what you will have to pay in the future."
