"——Pull me up! Pull me up!"
Zou Yuqing's voice came from below. She was chopping the tentacles around her. Since most of the tentacles were attacking Su Ming'an, she was fine on the ground. But if this continues, she will definitely not be able to escape.
"Brother, stop pulling her. It's already overloaded and we're not familiar with her." Mo Yan whispered.
Su Mingan frowned. In the last episode, it was Zou Yuqing who reminded him to run away. She must know something more secret.
He put down the puppet silk towards Zou Yuqing. While using floating cannons to blast away the tentacles, the shaky defense line was maintained. As Su Mingan shook several spatial vibrations in succession, the mechanical roulette wheel began to gradually rise.
Zou Yuqing grabbed the puppet silk, like climbing up the spider silk from hell. She moved quickly and climbed onto the mechanical roulette wheel in a few seconds.
"Thank you for the rescue, Your Highness." Zou Yuqing bent his beautiful fox eyes.
Su Ming'an nodded and continued to blast away the tentacles with floating cannons. Among the four, he was the only one with the strongest firepower, and he was the only one who could create a space for flight.
Suddenly, he noticed a shock around him, and purple-black tentacles suddenly sprouted from Zou Yuqing's back and stabbed towards him.
"Uh-huh!"
Her movements were merciless, going straight into his heart.
"Brother!" Mo Yan was startled, but it all happened too fast.
...Zou Yuqing is actually a different species?
The tentacles are extremely fast and will stab Su Ming'an in an instant. Zou Yuqing's face was hesitant and struggling. She didn't want to kill Su Ming'an. When she was lurking in human society, she had heard about the wisdom of the eldest prince more than once. She did have a good impression of him in her heart, but she still could not disobey Xiao Jingsan's secret order.
"Uh-huh!"
Invisible threads suddenly appeared in the air.
Zou Yuqing raised her eyes in surprise. Her tentacles were intercepted and she could not move forward an inch.
These are the puppet threads that already exist, and they are also the close defense network that Su Mingan has already laid out.
He was so afraid of being betrayed that even his teammates would guard against him, let alone Zou Yuqing.
"I can use the puppet silk to pull you up." Su Mingan said lightly: "I can also use the puppet silk to send you down."
I brought you up here to thank you for reminding me of the previous week.
I pulled you off in order to avenge your backstab this week.
goodbye.
He pulled his right hand, and before Zou Yuqing had time to stand still, she was thrown down by the puppet silk like a sack. With a few "hiss, hiss" sounds of the silk thread being cut, she lost her center of gravity, fell to the mechanical roulette, and was smashed into the thin thread again. A dense forest of tentacles.
Su Ming'an stood on the mechanical roulette wheel, glanced at her figure lightly, and stopped looking at her.
——Speaking of it.
Su Mingan looked at the "fairies" around him.
He discovered very early that these "fairies" were all people with black hair and black eyes. Why were their features so similar?
"Did you find it?" Xiao Jingsan's voice came.
Su Mingan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jingsan.
"These 'fairies' are actually alien species whose bloodline purification failed." Xiao Jingsan smiled and said: "I have made them look more and more like each other by constantly raising Gu."
When Su Mingan heard this, he found that this was a lot of information. He estimated the time and found that this plot must last more than twenty minutes. Assassins in this world don't wait for anyone. It's too late this week and they will definitely die once.
In this case, let him use his best information trick - showing the enemy weakness, luring the enemy into being careless and telling a large amount of information, and then backtracking.
"Take them away." Su Mingan gave the instruction to the mechanical roulette wheel, jumped directly off the roulette wheel.
"Hey, wait, brother!"
Mo Yan was so frightened that he never expected that his elder brother would jump down on his own initiative.
The mechanical wheel received the command and drove Yi Zhongyu and Mo Yan away.
"Brother! Big brother! You have a plan, right! You must be worried that we will hold you back, so you took the initiative to send us away! You can survive, right?"
Mo Yan's voice quickly flew farther and farther away and could no longer be heard.
Su Mingan fell to the ground and did not answer. He doesn't have any plan. His only plan is to retaliate after death, which is also his most trustworthy and practical plan.
When Xiao Jingsan saw that Su Ming'an took the initiative to stay, Xiao Jingsan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "I really didn't expect you to be so sacrificial for yourself. I thought you were not the kind of person who sacrifices his own ego."
Su Mingan chopped down a few tentacles around him and said calmly: "Then who do you think I am?"
"You are someone who puts your own life first." Xiao Jingsan said.
Su Mingan was noncommittal. What Jamel Xiao said is actually correct.
"Can you please tell me more about what you just said?" Su Mingan said.
"You took the initiative to sacrifice yourself to stay. If I don't say anything, wouldn't I be a bit disappointed in your decision?" Xiao Jingsan said: "You exchanged your life for information. You are really... a bit surprised."
Su Mingan couldn't see any surprised expression on Xiao Jingsan's face, only teasing. After all, from any point of view, Su Ming'an, who took the initiative to jump off the mechanical roulette wheel, would never have another chance to escape, and it was already equivalent to what he had in his pocket. Even if Su Mingan wanted to use props to teleport, the nearby tentacles would not give him a chance.
"Come on, let's talk." Su Mingan didn't even take the sword, and sat down calmly. Seeing this, the tentacle next to him even built him a tentacle stool so that he could sit and listen.
Su Ming'an waved to Xiao Jingsan: "By the way, do you have peach blossom wine? The peach blossom wine Li Mingyue made before looks delicious. I wonder if you have any. Can you give me a glass?"
The fairies around looked at Su Mingan in shock.
The eldest prince Lou Yue actually sat down in the enemy's base camp so calmly, without caring about life and death. They couldn't help but admire him in their hearts. He was probably a hero and nothing more than this.
They gradually stepped back a few steps, allowing Su Ming'an to sit more spaciously.
"Can you drink peach blossom wine?" Xiao Jingsan said: "Come on, when you were sitting in the Imperial Master's Pavilion, you got drunk just by smelling it. Now you actually dare to ask me for peach blossom wine."
Su Mingan shook his head: "I was not drunk at the time."
Xiao Jingsan smiled and said: "Your face was red at that time, and you still said you were not drunk?"
His tone even gradually became familiar, like chatting with an old friend who has been together for many years.
During the more than ten years that he had grown up with the eldest prince, Xiao Jingsan, as a shadow double, had spent thousands of days and nights chatting with him like this. Talk about the world, talk about growth, talk about folk stories, talk about kites outside the palace.
It’s just that things are changing, and no one can abandon their mission. Xiao Jingsan has the mission to awaken the alien king, and the eldest prince's ideals were crushed by the royal family. Xiao Jingsan had gradually forgotten how long it had been since he had chatted like this with the eldest prince.
——It seemed that from the moment they handcuffed the eldest prince, their eyes never met again, like the two blades of scissors gradually sliding apart.
Su Mingan shook his head: "Forget it if you don't have wine."
He looked around at the pavilions, bridges and flowing water. He looked up at the thousands of red and pink branches, feeling very peaceful in his heart.
When a person quietly waits for death, all he feels is a sense of peaceful rest. It's like a traveler who has been on the road for a long time has found a resting place to sleep.
Su Mingan squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling very tired.
Xiao Jingsan stared at Su Ming'an and suddenly said: "Wine has an analgesic effect."
Su Mingan raised his head.
Jamel Xiao said: "I know why you want wine. But it won't hurt in the end."
Su Ming'an smiled: "Are you really going to kill me?"
Jamel Xiao shook his head.
Seeing Su Ming'an in this posture, Xiao Jingsan suddenly lost his interest in playing cat and mouse. At the same time, a faint sadness surged into his heart. He didn't want to see Su Ming'an like this, sitting quietly under the peach blossom tree alone, twirling the peach blossom petals on his shoulders, as if he had been planning something with great expectations. He was obviously just a young man, but he seemed to have a huge mind for the world. This posture is too similar, and the temperament is too similar.
He didn't want to look.
I don’t want to remember either.
He was afraid that Su Ming'an would suddenly raise his head and ask him: "Xiao Jingsan, how old do I have to be before I can leave the palace? Can I see that day of peace and prosperity that the palace maid once said?"
He was afraid to see Su Ming lift his sleeves to reveal the deep and shallow knife marks on his arms. He was also afraid that Su Ming'an would suddenly change his face and ask him why he wanted to take away his identity, and why in order to awaken the alien king, he had to trample all the words he said as a child into ashes, causing him to be so humiliated.
fine,
Su Mingan would not be like this.
Xiao Jingsan turned around and took a cup of peach blossom wine and poured it for Su Ming'an to drink.
Su Mingan took the wine glass and smelled the aroma of peach blossom wine. He just held the wine glass and did not drink.
The tentacles constructed a second stool, and Xiao Jingsan sat next to Su Mingan, with the wooden sign jingling around his waist.
"I've been trying to awaken the alien king."
Su Mingan listened intently.
Xiao Jingsan said: "You must have guessed that I am not the Alien King himself, I am just a human being who has a close relationship with the Alien King. I shoulder the mission of awakening the Alien King. This is something I will work hard for throughout my life, no matter what No matter what I face, this ideal cannot be shaken.”
Su Mingan didn't ask why. It is nothing more than family inheritance, elders’ expectations, personal ideals and other reasons. Xiao Jingsan didn’t say, so there’s no need to ask.
Xiao Jingsan said: "To awaken the alien king, you need to let it revive on a qualified donor. This requires three basic conditions: first, the donor must be a alien king. Second, the donor must recognize the alien king. Third, the donor must The body itself must also be very similar to the alien king."
Su Mingan said: "How long ago did the Alien King... fall asleep? What was the reason?"
Xiao Jingsan said: "Thousands of years ago. The reason is not yet known. It may be because of the end of life."
...thousands of years ago.
Su Mingan's ears twitched, it was this time again. Thousands of years ago was also the time when the gods usurped power and the old gods disappeared.
Xiao Jingsan said: "There is no problem with the first condition. There is no problem with the second condition. But the third condition: the donor itself must be very similar to the alien king back then, which makes me very embarrassed."
Su Ming listened quietly and folded the peach petals in his hand into the shape of a paper airplane.
Xiao Jingsan said: "Although the Alien King back then only left a few words in the myth, I gradually pieced together the image of the Alien King. I roughly know what kind of existence he was: black hair, black eyes, and a gentle and compassionate personality. , advocating ideals. Therefore, I have been working hard to cultivate a donor that meets these conditions for the rebirth of the alien king."
Su Mingan said: "Is it you?"
Jamel Xiao perfectly meets this requirement of black hair and eyes.
Jamel Xiao shook his head.
Under Su Mingan's shocked eyes, Xiao Jamsan slowly spit out the answer:
"It's the entire Louyue royal family."
In an instant, Su Mingan's fingers shook, and the peach petals fell to the ground. He opened his eyes wide and was shocked speechless by the answer.
… It’s so bold, so ridiculous.
The entire Louyue royal family worshiped by thousands of people - are they all prepared donors for the alien king?
"Every generation of the royal family is a prepared donor for the alien king, although the royal family themselves do not know this." Xiao Jingsan said:
"Due to the royal bloodline and excellent education, the royal heirs will always have a similar appearance with black hair and black eyes, a gentle personality, and advocating ideals. But there is never one who is most like the alien king, and the alien king has never been able to meet the standards of Su Sheng. "
"In the previous generation of the royal family, I originally wanted to choose your father as a donor. He was once a child who advocated ideals. However, the cruelty of imperial power, the interference of foreign races, and the temptation of wine and sex gradually turned him into a moderate and greedy person. As an adult, he is no longer worthy of becoming the donor of the alien king. I can only wait for his next generation."
"In this generation, your second brother is useless and submissive. Your third brother is addicted to wine and sex, which is disappointing. Your sisters are too kind and have mismatched personalities. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is the most suitable. And it can be said that it is... very suitable."
Su Mingan suppressed his racing heart, and suddenly discovered something extremely absurd.
If the eldest prince was as stupid, greedy, and selfish as his younger brothers and sisters, he would not become the prepared donor for the alien king.
If the eldest prince had not become a donor, Xiao Jingsan would not have targeted the Louyue royal family of this generation, and would not have tempted the royal family to cruelly imprison the eldest prince and take his blood, waiting for Su Ming'an to come and break the situation.
Under Li Mingyue's protection, it is very likely that none of the tragedies that befell the eldest prince would have happened.
Su Mingan stared into Xiao Jamel's eyes and said word by word:
"——So, the kindness, gentleness, benevolence, and compassion of the eldest prince, his love for the people, his longing for a peaceful and prosperous age, all the positive and beautiful things about him, all the respectable things about him, he All the shining points of humanity—but are they the source of his tragedy?”
If the eldest prince hadn't been so good, he wouldn't have been chosen as a donor, and he wouldn't have suffered such a tragedy.
Jamel Xiao lowered his head slightly.
A peach blossom petal fell on the curl of his hair, and then fell lightly down, never stopping.
Then, a low, roaring laughter flowed from his throat. The sound sounded like laughing, but also like crying.
"yes."
"That's it."
He covered his face, hiding all the expressions on his face.
"...So I told you earlier, Su Shaoqing, you shouldn't be such a good person."
