Mu Tian smiled dryly.
"Hey, little girl, we're not at this point, are we? If you kill me, this place will become as desolate as Crescent Road."
"Do you think I care about this kind of thing?"
"Then you still care about this body, right?"
As if he was really afraid of the bone sword, Motian leaned back as much as possible. He carefully put a finger on the sword, and then continued: "You have already looked for that earthworm, right? How about it? The things that fell in the hole were indeed thrown by him. Even if you If you don’t believe what I say, that earthworm won’t tell my lie for me.”
"There are many kinds of lies. You don't need to make up lies, just omitting some facts is enough."
As the pain in his right foot gradually worsened, Zhou Yu calmly retracted his sword and walked to the sofa on the side to sit down. He placed the sword horizontally on his knees, and Ferris' eyes followed him.
"Tell me, you should know more about my contact with Sang Lian last year."
"Well, I have indeed heard of it. But little girl, was it really you who fought with that earthworm last year?"
Motian narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.
"Since we want to communicate honestly, lying is bad, right? If it was really you, why don't you remember what you did, little girl? Did you suddenly lose your memory?"
"You don't need to care about this. Just tell me what you know."
Motian was still looking at him with that strange look in his eyes. Zhou Yu wasn't sure how much the short fat man knew about his situation. So far, the only ones who can clearly separate him from Zhou Yu are Hongye, Ao'er and Sang Lian - of course, the supernatural creature Zhang Mumu is an exception.
So, how much does Ferris, a subordinate of Auster, know? When he first met Motian, the short fat man showed no signs of recognizing him, but when the two met for the second time in an abandoned warehouse, Zhou Yu strongly felt that there had been some change in the other's attitude.
Something must have happened between these two meetings for this short fat man to have new information. At this moment, the other party's mysterious eyes and expressions, as well as the hint of temptation in his words, all prove this point.
"Little girl, if I want to explain it to you, I have to ask something."
As if sensing his suspicion, Motian slowly rubbed the surface of the skull ring with his stubby fingers.
"Do you know what this body was like before? Was it really a good college girl? Hehe, if that were the case, I wouldn't be entangled with that earthworm. I pity you, you are just a scapegoat who knows nothing about it. .”
His mocking tone confirmed Zhou Yu's suspicion. That is no longer an ambiguous temptation, but a real declaration of "I know you are not the original owner of the body."
Before Zhou Yu had time to react, Motian continued to laugh and said: "Besides, little girl, you have been with the princess for so long, haven't you ever felt that the two of you are too similar? The truth behind this is that the princess will definitely not I’m telling you. To be honest, have you never had any ideas?”
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"Little girl, have you never thought of killing the princess?"
The eyes on the skull ring glowed faintly red again. Looking at the gloomy scene, Zhou Yu forgot his words for a moment.
"Have you thought about it? The body's own desire to kill the ancestor cannot be solved by changing your mind. Little girl, this body of yours is a blood descendant of the 'Jingzu', even if its abilities have degraded to the level of a mortal. , the appearance of the ancestor is still quite well preserved.”
"Jingzu...Jingzi?"
"Ah, don't you even know this?"
Ferris grinned unpleasantly, as if mocking his ignorance.
"Jingzu is the previous life of our princess. From this perspective, you have seen yourself... hundreds of generations at least, right? That is the true ancestor who is so many generations away from you. Kill. Compared with killing the ancestor, giving up the covenant rights inherited from one's biological mother is nothing. Oh, the princess's eyes are so beautiful that even I feel moved when I look at them. Even a little girl It is reasonable for you to want to take it away..."
"Shut up."
Enduring the vomiting feeling in his body, Zhou Yu interrupted the other party coldly. Motian seemed to want to continue talking, but after he took hold of the bone sword, he immediately made a zipper motion on his mouth.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention this for now. Anyway, little girl, what you are concerned about now is the earthworm. We will discuss the princess's matter later... In short, little girl, although you are a descendant from a remote country, After all, you have inherited some contract rights from your ancestor, and you are considered a privileged class in this city. With eyes like yours, you knew who the earthworm was the moment you saw it, so it would be logical to fight with him, right? How is the condition of the flute?"
"Shouldn't you know better?"
"This is an injustice to me. To express my sincerity to you, I have never been to that cave once. But I think the earthworm threw the flute away. It must have been damaged, right?"
Zhou Yu looked at him coldly for a while, then finally took out the bamboo flute that split into two pieces from his pocket, and showed the crystal grain surface attached to the inner wall of the bamboo flute.
"Oh, this is really..."
Motian tilted his body and tried his best to avoid the bone sword and came closer to observe.
"Okay, little girl, this is a fully formed ether crystal. You are so proficient in the crystallization of matter. You have performed soul vision more than once, right? Of course, I am referring to this body. You probably can't even see it now." I don’t understand how to use soul vision. It doesn’t matter, soul vision is of no use to that earthworm anyway, as long as there is ‘revenge’ it is enough.”
When he said this, his eyes fell on the pale thin blade again, not hiding his greed and fear at all. Seeing his reaction, Zhou Yu slightly curved the corners of his mouth.
"No wonder Orsel gave me the sword."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because he doesn't want you to get it. Rather than being kept by a villain like you, he would rather give it to a stranger who hates you."
"Yeah, that's too much. The previous master didn't think highly of me that much. He gave the sword to the little girl because you are more suitable. 'Revenge' is a sword with a temper and does not meet the conditions for use. Even if you get the sword, you can't use it. Although I admire it, I really have no chance to deal with it. To deal with that earthworm, I have to take action, little girl."
Zhou Yu sneered.
"If I can deal with Sang Lian, it's not your turn to tell me, right? Or do you know this sword better than Hongye?"
"That's not true, but the princess is an outsider in this city after all, so she doesn't know as much about what happens in the city as I do. Little girl, apart from you two parties, only the former master and I happen to know about the conflict between you and Sang Lian. Yes. He had the upper hand that time and made you lose in a very embarrassing way, little girl. Oops, the first master couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to pick out the note you threw in the hole. All the words written on it were There are angry words like wanting to kill Sang Lian."
Zhou Yu remained silent. He knew there must be lies hidden in the other person's words, but the fragmentary page of the diary was definitely not a forgery. Even in order to find out the origin of the piece of paper, he had to listen to Motian continue to talk.
"So what's going on, little girl? You couldn't deal with him last time, but with 'Revenge' this time, and with my help, the probability of success is very high. We don't have to bother the princess anymore, let's join forces this time Get rid of him, this is in line with the princess’s wish.”
"……prove."
Motian turned his head questioningly. Zhou Yu held the bone sword and lit the white blade with his hand. For some reason, the bone blade no longer had the warm or even burning feeling it had in the past. Instead, it was as cold as ice.
"You said that I personally wrote in my diary that the person I was going to kill no matter what was Sang Lian. Is there any proof of this?"
Under his cold scrutiny, a smile broke out on Motian's face. He stood up suddenly and took out a small metal bar from his pocket.
"Of course there is. Please take it. This is a precious thing that I have worked hard to obtain."
He handed the silver metal bar to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu picked it up and observed it carefully. The small metal device had rows of buttons and a display the size of a fingernail.
It's a voice recorder.
