"stay away from me!"
After a while, Aoi finally said the first sentence.
Her voice sounded a little hoarse, as if she had cried just before, and her voice was trembling like her body.
"Um...if I'm willing to stay away from you, would you like to go back with me?"
"I'm not going anywhere!" After saying this, Aoi shrank back behind the water tank.
It looks like he plans to make his home here.
But no matter what, she was finally willing to speak compared to before, and being able to communicate meant that she had the possibility of being persuaded.
So Lu Jing tried to follow her words and continued, "But if we don't find a way together... to solve that strange object, we will be trapped here forever."
Kui trembled again when she heard this, "Leave me alone."
"Why?" Lu Jing sat down next to her, "Why don't you care?"
"I just want to be alone here." Kui said, holding her head.
"Why don't you tell me what you're afraid of, and I'll help you solve it, so you can..."
"It's useless." Kui interrupted Lu Jing, "No matter what you want me to do, it's best to give up the idea as soon as possible. I can't help you."
"You are the youngest fifth-level supervisor in Si Tianjian. Isn't it a bit presumptuous to say so?"
"No, I'm just a loser," Kui said, "I watched my parents... and my sister die tragically, but I couldn't do anything. I just... stood aside quietly, watching. Their bodies were buried in the soil one by one, and I will never forget that feeling."
"Okay, but that is in the past after all, and you are no longer an ordinary person." Lu Jing said.
However, Aoi said to herself, "I can finally understand what he said to me that day."
"who?"
"Mr. Ji, he said that we are actually the same kind of people. At some point, we all desperately longed for power, longed to change our lives and seize the throat of our destiny, but... all of this was in vain. "
Aoi finally raised her head and cried loudly, crying.
"He has been arrested by Si Tianjian now, and I have also lost my martial arts skills and can no longer feel the secret power. None of us can escape the curse given to us by fate."
It turns out... is this what you fear most deep down in your heart? Afraid of losing the power he had and becoming his weak self again.
Lu Jing was slightly startled, but after a moment he directly pulled Kui up from the ground.
"Cheer up... Inspector Aoi, didn't you hear what I said before? Your loss of secret power and martial arts is just the effect of that strange object. As long as we work together, we can solve the problem of that strange object and those who belong to it." Your power will return to your body soon."
"It's too late." Aoi still had tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't help but say, "It's too late, it's too late. Why, I thought I had become strong enough and capable of protecting the people around me, but why do I still do this? Like before, someone come and save me.”
"There's still time, there's still time!" Lu Jing said to Kui, "That strange thing is called Hongluo. From when it starts to take effect, we have one hour to take action. Well... although you came in earlier than me, but If I remember correctly, you should still have half an hour to spare.
"By the way, didn't you say you were going to find your sister's daughter? She is your only relative in this world. Don't you want to work with us to solve this bloody mist and let her live? Although Si Tianjian A dragnet has been set outside, and she probably won't be able to escape.
"But as long as you are still alive, you will always have a chance to rescue her in the future."
"I can't save her." Kui said painfully, "...just like I couldn't save my parents and sister back then."
"Who said that? Although you have temporarily lost your power, don't you still have me? As long as you can cheer up and follow me, Supervisor Wu and I can deal with that bloody corpse without you having to do anything."
"No, you don't understand." The pain in Kui's eyes became more and more intense, "I can't take her away because...because she is Hong Luo!"
! ! !
Lu Jing was stunned when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that the strange object that Aoi had to protect before was actually Hong Luo who was now trapping them here.
Doesn't this mean that if they want to leave here, they have to kill Aoi's only remaining relatives in this world?
No wonder Aoi is so helpless and desperate, hiding behind a water tank alone.
What really frightens her is not the loss of power itself, but the feeling of powerlessness when facing the death of a loved one. After so many years, it has returned to her body again, as if the nightmare is replaying itself. This is what makes her Something that completely defeats me.
"I heard from other strange things that the child has always been brooding over the death of his mother, and the root cause of all the tragedies that happened to our family is that my father, who was an official in the court, was killed by the people above him because he offended the traitors in the court. He found a reason to be punished and beheaded.
"After that, my mother and sister were sold into brothels and died tragically one after another. After she learned about her life experience, she began to hate the current officials and the civil and military officials of the dynasty. When she heard that other strange things were coming to the capital, , coercing Si Tianjian to release Mr. Ji with the lives of the people in the city, so she asked someone to refine herself into a red luo and bring her to the capital... She had already made up her mind to die before setting off.
"If she can save Mr. Ji, then she can repay Mr. Ji's kindness in saving her. But if she can't save Mr. Ji, she can kill all the officials and officials in the capital, and she can also avenge her family. "
Kui blames herself, "Actually, it should be my responsibility to avenge my parents and sister, but as the price of joining Si Tianjian and becoming a supervisor, I promised to Shao Jian Guo not to pursue the matter of that year... I just didn't expect that, sister There is also a daughter who is only just over ten years old this year.
"If...if I failed to protect her, how could I face my sister under the circumstances?"
Lu Jing was speechless when he heard this.
But a moment later, he grabbed Chao Yuan again and pushed the latter's head into the water jar.
Chao Yuan, who was in a coma, was shocked by the cold water and finally woke up. Then he choked to death and drank a lot of water.
After a while, Lu Jing brought Chao Yuan up again and asked, "Is there anything else you are hiding from me about Hong Luo?"
Chao Yuan's head finally left the water tank, and he immediately took a greedy breath. While panting, he said, "I have told everything I know."
"Really? Then it seems there is no need for me to keep you anymore."
As Lu Jing said this, he pushed Chao Yuan's head into the water tank again.
Chao Yuan immediately screamed, "Wait, wait, wait."
