Sigh—boom!
The moment Zhao Mu was about to swallow the "mirage bead", a harsh sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the house behind them.
The next moment, a flash of cyan light directly cut through the sky, directly knocking away the "mirage bead" in Zhao Mu's hand.
"Amitabha!"
At the same time, a loud Buddha chant sounded simultaneously, suppressing the furious Ah Da and the invisible thing in time.
"what is that?"
It wasn't until this moment that everyone present finally saw the true face of that flashing "green light".
It was not a weapon like a sword, nor was it some invisible magical power...
That "blue light" turned out to be a hairpin.
A beautiful hairpin forged using the integral casting method, with a green spiritual snake coiled on the surface.
At this moment, the lively spiritual snake is holding the "mirage bead" in its mouth, as if the hairpin originally looked like this.
"It seems I came in time."
Slowly stepping out from behind the door, Pei Wende simply waved his hand, and the cyan hairpin flew back to him.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the “spiritual snake” entangled in the hairpin always gives people a reluctant feeling.
Fortunately, this "reluctance" is more just that the green-scaled snake is dissatisfied with Pei Wende's "catching a cat and teasing a dog" attitude, and it does not affect his control of the hairpin itself.
"Ada, the village chief, and Zhao Mu..."
Looking at the "people" still standing there one by one, Pei Wende finally ruled in an unquestionable tone.
"This farce ends here!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"This farce ends here!"
Zhao Mu looked at the "outsider" in astonishment. He thought about ten thousand possibilities after swallowing the "mirage bead", but he never expected that the "outsider" would show up to stop him in the end.
"Why did you stop me?"
After staring at Pei Wende for a while, Zhao Mu finally asked this question.
I am not related to this "outsider", but the other party has stopped me again and again.
And judging from various results, this "outsider" is obviously kind to him, otherwise he would not show up at the last critical moment.
"Because I promised your father that I won't let a stupid boy like you be sold and paid for."
As if in response to Pei Wende's words, Ada, who had been suppressed by the Buddha's name before, immediately regained his composure, and then appeared beside him like a ghost.
"Besides, I can't stand some cunning guys who push others to hell for their own selfish interests."
Not hiding his dislike for the old man in black, Pei Wende never left his eyes on the old man beside Zhao Mu when he said this.
"If you really want to protect the village, why don't you swallow the 'mirage bead' yourself and keep it safe?"
"It can be said that Zhu Nu swallowed the 'mirage bead' because she was too stubborn and you were too late to stop her."
"But what about Zhao Mu? Why did you trick him into swallowing the 'Mirage Bead'?"
"Don't tell me nonsense like Zhao Mu is the 'Son of the Mist'!"
"Ada sacrificed himself, but in the end, didn't he only keep the village peaceful for ten years?"
"Since the end result is 'disappear' anyway, why don't you sacrifice yourself first!?"
Faced with Pei Wende's unceremonious questioning, the old man in black didn't know whether he was speechless or had expected it, but he acted very calmly.
"How do you, an outsider who knows nothing, have the right to interfere in our affairs?"
Calmly showing the rusty sword in his hand, the old man in black didn't say much, but an unspoken murderous intention quietly enveloped the entire audience.
"Hmph! I really don't know what you are selling."
"But Ada, as a victim, knows all about your tricks."
"This includes the part of the truth that you deliberately concealed and did not explain."
His pupils tightened unconsciously, and the old man in black immediately turned his gaze to Ada next to him, with a little disbelief on his face.
"How can it be?"
Although the old man in black didn't reveal much.
But just judging from the other party's performance at this moment, Zhao Mu knew that the other party was hiding something very crucial, as the "outsider" said.
"Old village chief?"
Ignoring Zhao Mu's call, the old man in black looked at Ah Da and Pei Wende with thoughtful eyes after the initial panic.
"How much do you know?"
"And this sudden riot of invisible things, is it related to Ada?"
It was clearly a question, but when the old man in black said the last sentence, his tone suddenly changed to affirmative.
"Obviously... it was you... who deceived... us first..."
Anger, unwillingness, sadness, annoyance...
It has obviously turned into an invisible and insubstantial existence, but the emotions conveyed by Ah Da at this moment are so clear and complex.
As a guardian who has single-handedly suppressed the entire fog for more than ten years, he is called a "grave-suppressing beast" by those who know the situation...
Ada never thought that everything about him was arranged by people in the village.
However, facts have proven that neither Zhao Mu nor Ada, who have never left the village and come into contact with the sinister human heart, cannot understand where the "bottom line of evil" lies for human beings.
"..."
In speechless silence, Zhao Mu looked at everyone present, his mind had never been so confused.
Years of relationship made Zhao Mu inclined to trust the old village chief.
But his father's words made him feel very clearly that the whole incident was not as simple as he imagined.
Under the impact of these contradictions, Zhao Mu instinctively looked at Zhu Nu who was lying aside.
Anyone in this world can lie to themselves, but it is impossible for his mother to lie to him - Zhao Mu has always believed in this.
Then, what happened next made Zhao Mu completely lose his trust in the old village chief.
Because most of Zhu Nu's body was disappearing, and she was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This...is...the...final outcome of...losing...the 'Mirage'..."
Also noticing Zhu Nu's disappearance, Ah Da's voice became sad again, and this time there was only sadness left.
"She...after all...failed to survive...His recovery..."
Pei Wende sighed slightly, knowing what this meant, and there was nothing he could do this time.
"I'm sorry, it seems I can't save your wife after all."
