Yan Luo, who had been opposite Tang Yuanyuan and No. 4, seemed to finally have a plan to take action, but it was obvious that this plan was not a friendly negotiation.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the circle of depressions on the ground and took a deep breath uneasily, thinking that he had been too careless just now. He actually didn't pay attention to Yama Luo's movements at all because No. 4 was confronting Yama Luo.
When No. 4 released his hold on her and pulled her behind him to stop her again, she finally came back to her senses. At the same time, she clearly realized that the other party's target was not No. 4 who was standing in front of her, but herself.
"Yam Luo...what do you want to do to her?"
No. 4 raised his hand and stopped in front of her to question Yan Luo, who suddenly made a move on the other side. Although Tang Yuanyuan could not see his expression clearly from behind him, she unexpectedly heard the anger in his words.
"What to do?" Yama Luo asked, "For such a crime as breaking into the underworld's life and death detention center, do you think I can let that girl leave easily?"
"This is not the reason for you to attack her." No. 4 said, "According to the rules of the underworld, she should not stay in such a place before her life is over, but the blow you just made seemed to really want her life."
"And I will be responsible for her so-called guilt. Don't you most want me to bear those consequences?"
"Is this the reason why you dare to lead humans into the underworld wantonly?" Yama laughed, "According to common sense, it is true. You can bear the cause and effect on behalf of this girl... But the rules can be changed... That girl Special enough, for the underworld, keeping her might be a better choice.”
Tang Yuanyuan felt a little numb when he heard what Yan Luo said.
Even though she could no longer understand the rules and causes and effects spoken by No. 4 and Yama, she understood that Yama's intentions had completely changed at this time.
In fact, before arriving at the Life and Death Detention Center, she asked No. 4 whether she would be targeted by the underworld for doing such bad things. At that time, No. 4 swore that he could solve it... But if his so-called solution was... By grafting the blame onto himself, it is obvious that the party in the underworld is no longer willing to accept this trick at this moment.
The other party seems to want to keep him first.
Why? What makes her special enough? Is it just because she became the second living person to be able to return from the life and death detention center? Couldn't it be that she was cautious enough and just got lucky?
Of course, she only dared to think such complaints in her heart, and no matter what, she didn't want to stay in the underworld like this. Although she had always been able to see demons and ghosts before, the boundaries between life and death were more plain and blurry than ordinary people. , but this does not mean that she is eager to be a ghost in the underworld now.
"So I'm helping out with running errands and you also get a scapegoat service?!" Tang Yuanyuan stood behind No. 4 and mumbled, "Would you like to give me a five-star review?"
"You still have the heart to joke." No. 4 clicked his tongue, "It seems that your mentality is better than I thought."
"With a bad attitude, do I dare to follow you into the underworld?" Tang Yuanyuan didn't pay attention to his strange words. Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed the wrist that was blocking him in front of him, and whispered:
"Should we find a way to escape from this siege first?"
"Why, are you scared or do you think I'm not strong enough?" No. 4 chuckled, "Don't worry, I promised to protect you."
She nodded softly and said, "I believe you."
But soon she asked again: "Protect me, but what about yourself?"
As soon as she said this, she noticed that No. 4 in front of her seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then did not answer her question.
Tang Yuanyuan actually didn't know the true strength and details of No. 4. Although she had previously inferred that he was strong from his ability to face other ghosts and monsters, according to what Zhen said, No. 4 at this time was obviously not What a heyday.
If those ghosts swarm up or use some other trick, the longer they delay here, the lower their probability of escaping will become.
Tang Yuanyuan naturally felt that she was not gambling on these matters, so she continued calmly:
"No matter if you are strong or not, you may not be able to protect me while dealing with so many ghosts, and I am not very willing to become a burden waiting to be killed."
"And don't you find it strange? I always feel that the atmosphere around here doesn't seem to be that of arresting wanted criminals... Those ghosts seem to be deliberately waiting for something to delay..."
Before she could finish the guessing words in her mouth, she was interrupted by Yama who was approaching them with steps.
"It seems you are more perceptive than Number Four."
There was a bit more smile in Yan Luo's words: "No. 4, do you think I came unprepared?"
"We have known each other for so many years, and I know the strength gap between us better than anyone else. You were right at the beginning. Even if you are now, I may not be able to defeat you alone."
"But there are many ways to stop you, and we naturally have ways to deal with you."
As Yan Luo spoke, a blue ball of light appeared in his hand. The suspended droplets like water droplets flipped and solidified, and in the flipped ball of light, there seemed to be countless black and white staggered spheres floating in the air, colliding and rolling.
The sound of clanging metal chains could be heard in my ears. The temperature around the Shengshengbo Detention Center suddenly became colder than before, and some plaintive wails could be faintly heard from the whistling wind.
Tang Yuanyuan only felt a strong wind blowing towards her face, and the huge air flow made her hair and clothes rustle.
For a moment, it seemed as if some invisible huge barrier had been built around them, and in this cage-like cold barrier, there was some indescribable feeling of depression that filled Tang Yuanyuan's heart.
"...Ghoul Gua?"
No. 4 finally changed his expression, and glanced at the blue wall of fire around him that originally blocked the ghosts under the steps. It gradually extinguished. His spiritual power quickly passed away in this barrier aimed at him. Those who could no longer maintain their original state. The firewall is the best proof.
Tang Yuanyuan, who was standing next to him, also noticed something strange about him. When Tang Yuanyuan heard the name of the hexagram, he felt it was inexplicably familiar, but before he could think of it, No. 4, who took a step back, suddenly grabbed his right hand.
No. 4 frowned and said nothing, but quickly began to write something on the palm of her hand.
Tang Yuanyuan was slightly startled by No. 4's sudden action, but seeing the other person's anxious look, he finally decided to believe him and did not take back his hand.
There was no trace of what No. 4 wrote in her palm, but Tang Yuanyuan could feel a faint coolness wherever his fingertips touched.
"It is indeed the corpse ghost hexagram." Yama Luo on the other side saw that he was finally getting a little anxious, and responded patiently, "This is a spell used to suppress vicious and evil ghosts. , such spells in the past may not be worth mentioning to you..."
"But now that you haven't had her by your side for a hundred years, your spiritual power has been lost quickly, and you may not be able to survive this disaster."
No. 4 didn't respond to him because of this, but he continued:
"If you can't survive that seal, then no one can forgive that girl's 'sin', so she has to stay. Now to us, she is just a chick with broken wings in a cage. ."
After saying this, Yan Luo shook his head lightly again, then looked at No. 4 and said:
"Actually, you have another choice. As you said, the guilt of the soul can be grafted with fate. In fact, you can also choose to let this girl bear your mistakes for you. After all, it is better than actually trespassing on the life and death book. To her in the detention center, you are just the instigator. If you are willing to do this, as an old friend, I can't help you."
"And if you really send her back forcibly, your soul will be tortured in the underworld for a hundred years along with her crimes... No. 4, you may not be able to survive the hundred years that the corpse ghost gnaws on you now, and in another hundred years , she may not be in the human world anymore...right?"
"Would you like to listen to what you are saying?" No. 4 sneered and interrupted Yama, "I have no habit of blaming my own crimes on others. She has no reason to be my scapegoat."
"And those were originally my own plans and plans, and I didn't intend to involve anyone else."
"So I will send her away. Of course, I won't be trapped in the underworld myself. I can't afford to wait for another few hundred years."
"Every year I forget more and more things about 'her', and it seems that the traces of 'her' are becoming more and more blurred...as if 'her' existence is gradually disappearing from this world. ..”
He said such words as if he was talking to Yama, but also as if he was talking to himself.
What does it mean that her existence seems to be gradually disappearing...?
When Tang Yuanyuan heard what No. 4 said, she couldn't help but feel a little strange about his statement. However, when she recalled all the strange things she encountered in the Shengshengbo Detention Center, she suddenly felt that this was not unexpected.
At least one thing is certain, the girl he is looking for is definitely not an ordinary human being, and both her identity and ability seem to be very extraordinary...
While Tang Yuanyuan was thinking about the words about No. 4 and the girl he was talking about, she suddenly noticed that No. 4 let go of her hand.
She instinctively turned around and looked at No. 4, meeting his red eyes that were a bit anxious.
"This spell will be activated later, and it will protect you when you return to the human world. I sealed a layer of spiritual power in it to protect you from being harmed in the process of returning to the human world... No matter what you see later, Don’t do unnecessary things, just wait for the spell to open the passage for you and send you back, do you understand?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yuanyuan noticed that the runes and curses on her hand, which were just blank at first, changed their touch. The curses suddenly began to emerge from her palms with light blue fluorescence, and then The spell began to extend along the palm of her hand, and the entire hand was covered with a faint light blue halo.
Tang Yuanyuan immediately understood his intention and grabbed his arm before he turned around.
"how about you?"
He probably knew that if Yama really used the corpse ghost hexagram, he didn't know if he could survive, so he suddenly wanted to send her away in a hurry.
But what if he really can't survive it? Wouldn't he really have to stay in the underworld for hundreds of years?
But when he came here, he asked himself to get news about "her". He finally got a little bit of news, but he had to be blocked alone for hundreds of years. If he failed in vain, wouldn't it be meaningless soon?
He just wanted to find that very important "her". Tang Yuanyuan knew that if a few hundred years later, the wandering soul did not know where to go, the chance would be even slimmer. Even she felt sorry for him.
And this wasn't the ending she wanted to see after doing all this.
But No. 4 only paused for a moment after hearing Tang Yuanyuan's words, then looked into her eyes for a short moment, and then spoke coldly.
"Nothing to do with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shook off her hand.
