Siren Blade

Chapter 166
In the evening, some of the results of the physical examination finally came out.Just like what I confessed to Jade Bird earlier, my remaining life is less than a year.Aotori showed a very sad expression after seeing this result, which made me feel regretful for telling the truth from the bottom of my heart.But I also know that this is something I have to say.I have already made an oath to my heart, even if I am given a chance to do it all over again, I will not hide anything from Jade Bird.

We left from the underground research institute.Lie Que left earlier than me and Jade Bird, and he didn't know whether he was going back to attend Fazheng's small meeting or what.The two of us walked slowly on the road by the river, and she didn't say a word when the noise came from afar.Although I wanted to make her feel better, I didn't know what to say, so I could only chatter and worry about whether I would be self-defeating.

After a while, she sighed, "You are the one who is about to die, why do you want to release me?"

"Because I feel you are sadder than me." I said.

"I'm very sad, and I want to find a place to cry for a while. But with you like this, don't I have nowhere to cry?" she said.

"Why is there no place?" I solemnly opened my arms.

"Okay. Let's not talk about this, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat." She said.

We ate in the box of a nearby restaurant, and she still had a worried expression on her face.She was almost done eating, and this time she finally brought up the topic, "All of this... must be my fault."

"What?" I asked strangely.

"Five years ago, if I hadn't used my temper to throw myself in the mountains, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing, and you wouldn't have fallen into what you are today." She repeated the old story.

"That's just luck, not your fault," I said.

"Really?" she said, "even if it was me who was destined to meet the siren?"

"Why do you say that?" Hearing this, I realized what she was thinking at the moment.

"Haven't you ever doubted it? People with advanced awareness are more likely to discover hidden things than ordinary people. Even if I didn't recognize the existence of the hidden world at the time, it was easier and more secretive than ordinary people." The nature of things attracting each other because I was supposed to be a resident of this side," she said. "If you put me and other people in a haunted house where there are real ghosts, I will find out that there are really ghosts there, and other people may leave without knowing it. The same is true five years ago, since in There is a siren in my lost woods, so whether consciously or unconsciously, I should be the one who discovered the siren, just like a moth instinctively rushing to a flame."

"Although I don't know why the sea monster appeared in the woods of Wuming Mountain that day, but I happened to get lost that day. Is this really just a pure coincidence, not some kind of predetermined fate?" She said seriously Thinking about this matter, unfortunately, she was not talking nonsense, from the perspective of a warlock, this is a completely reasonable reasoning, "Maybe it was not a coincidence at all, I should have been here After getting lost, I met a sea monster, and was hypnotized and brainwashed by her, and my body was also transformed. I couldn't even remember the most basic ethics, so I became her blade..."

"But I was the one who encountered 'it,'" I said.

"Yes. Although I don't know what went wrong in the middle, but when you chose to rush into the dark forest, you replaced my fate." She closed her eyes in pain, "Everything you have encountered so far All... should be what I have to bear."

"It doesn't make sense," I said, "if it's your fate to meet 'it' and not mine, how can things change because I go to you or not?"

"But if you don't go to me, you won't meet the siren. In the end, it was my fault for being angry. It was the siren who made your life completely out of control, but I was the one who pulled the trigger," she said. .

In the original destiny, there should not be the devil Li Duo, only the witch Qingniao.

Qingniao seems to believe so, and I don't know how to refute her on this matter, and I even began to wonder if this is really the case.But even so, I don't think it's her fault, and it's even more impossible to blame her.Who can determine what the original fate is, it is just empty talk on paper, it is just an illusory assumption.The fact is that I was the one who committed the most crimes.

"Is that why you lied to me that you implanted a malignant factor in the healing dream?" I asked.

She said firmly: "Malignant factors exist, I did not deceive you."

"Are you with me because you feel guilty about me...?" When I asked this sentence, I felt like my heart was tightly held by an invisible hand.

"I... At the beginning, when I met you in the healing dream, I really looked at you with that kind of emotion." She said, "But, I really fell in love with you again afterwards, really Love you. There is absolutely no falsehood in this."

Yeah, I know that.I couldn't be more aware of her love for me.However, I occasionally get scared.Afraid that the warm embrace would abandon me.

I didn't accept the fate hypothesis of the blue bird in the end, and she couldn't explain what the "mistake" that distorted our mutual fate was, so I had to let it go.After eating, we returned to the hotel.

"You only have one year left..." she said in a daze.

"Yeah." I answered.

"I still want to cry." She whispered, "Let me cry."

At night, the blue bird came to my room.I hugged her tightly on the bed, and she buried her face deeply in my chest, wet my skirt.

The next day, the second half of the meeting held by the Security Bureau headquarters finally came to an end. During the meeting, a specific plan for the extermination of the eve was discussed.The headquarters specially set up a combat organization "Puzhao" in order to wipe out the eve, and ordered the security bureaus all over the country to vigorously crack down on the eve forces within their jurisdiction.

Both Jade Bird and I were incorporated into Puzhao and became its combatants.Soon, Qingniao was assigned the task of going back to Liucheng to search for traces of the forces from the previous night, while I still need to stay in the capital for the time being to recuperate the seriously injured spirit body.Before leaving, Qingniao finally lifted the curse connected to her heart on me by the way.

"Is it really lifted?" I touched my body.

"Didn't I say it last time, I don't want you to think that I am a troublesome and heavy woman. Since you will no longer give your life to the enemy for nothing, then there is no need for the curse to exist. .And, because I believe in you and want you to feel that I believe in you, this curse is a little in the way." She said, "Then, when you meet your enemies again, I still hope that you can be like you Say it again to Saber Tooth, because there are people you can't let go of, so you won't give up your life. And one day, I hope you can say that you don't want to die because you want to live."

"I hope so." I didn't say the "I'm probably dead before then" spoiler, and saw her off nicely.

Three weeks later, I spent New Year's Day in the capital, ushering in [-].

My spiritual body was finally healed too.During this period of time, in order to collect my body information as many times as possible, the doctor arranged the place where I recuperated my spirit body to the underground research institute, and Lie Que was notified of this matter in advance.I don't mind this, but going in and out of the underground research institute frequently like this, looking at those undead people, occasionally reminds me of the conversation I had with Lie Que last time.

Lie Que said, "it" is dead.

I think so too, but I always feel that there is an indescribable sense of violation in this statement.It's not that "it" may not be dead yet, "it" must be completely dead, and this is an absolutely irreversible fact.However, there still seems to be discord somewhere.

I recalled the bits and pieces of my time with "it" in the past, the paper-pale skin and the cold and slimy body, and the last thing I saw, the only remaining severed hand.

Even I didn't feel the slightest vitality from that severed hand.

But perhaps it seems paradoxical to say so.After all, even when "it" was still alive, I never felt the so-called vitality.
-
In any case, I was destined to never meet "it" again, as evidenced by the disappearance of the invisible connection that was once so close.I shouldn't have to go back to the past years when I was covered in blood and white liquid.

Let me talk about a few things that happened during this period of time.

The first is Puzhao's extermination process the night before. Although the meeting at the headquarters seems unreliable, the Security Bureau really deserves to be the organization that rules the hidden world of this country.In just three weeks, the eve forces across the country have been severely hit, and every day there are news that eve's strongholds have been dug out and wiped out.

So far, the reason why Qianye has been able to run rampant in the hidden world is not because they have enough power to fight against the security bureau, but because the security bureau didn't take it seriously.Once the Security Bureau got serious, a devastating situation immediately formed.

It is true that there were already great warlocks like Baiju and super-power-level warlocks like Bite Xue the night before, but the number of big warlocks and super-power-level warlocks in the Security Bureau will only increase, and the number of backbone warlocks is also very different. In addition, the two parties are not in the same dimension in terms of operation and resources.

However, those Demonic Warlocks are certainly far inferior to the Security Bureau in frontal confrontation, but they are quite tenacious in the field of hide-and-seek.Until now, the Security Bureau has not explored the entrance and entry method of the "Dawn Dreamland" of the eve headquarters, and even knows very little about its inside information.

At present, we only know that there are a large number of Eve researchers and senior cadres gathered there, and it is a place like the brain for Eve.And, although it is the headquarters of the eve, it seems to have been established last year, and it is a very secret stronghold that only a very small number of researchers and senior cadres in the eve have heard of.Most of the demon warlocks of the eve didn't even know that such a place existed in their own home.

While Puzhao and local security bureaus were suppressing the evangelists, Lie Que was also dealing with corrupt elements at the headquarters.

The purpose of his coming to the headquarters this time is not only to bring me and Qingniao to the meeting, he also intends to thoroughly investigate the equipment theft case that made Mingyi irreparable at the headquarters.The truth of that case was that Juzhong traded high-tech equipment to fanatics, and someone from the headquarters must have been involved in it, so the investigation team dispatched to Mirage would "wipe his ass" for Juzhong.

The liquidation work of Lie Que involved all personnel in the headquarters, and even involved some high-level members of the legal camp who seemed to be clean at ordinary times.If it was the past, he might really want to bloodbath the headquarters again, but now, as a high-ranking member of the law camp, he is only acting within the scope stipulated by the hidden law, arresting what should be arrested and killing what should be killed.Even so, his liquidation still caused a huge shock to the headquarters.

I don't know much about those things.Sometimes when Lie Que talked with me, there were many things that I didn't quite understand.It's embarrassing to say that, as a warlock in the legal camp, I haven't memorized all the secret laws until now.Siren's memory is much better than mine, she has memorized everything, and sometimes I have to ask her for advice.

Also, based on my past two experiences with "Smoldering", Siren has greatly improved the way the "Smoldering" rune is used.According to her, she has upgraded "Smoldering" from a single burst ability to a new ability that can be sustained for a long time.In the case of using this new skill, every move I make in a short period of time can play a super-main-level power.And that's actually what Smoldering was designed to do in the first place.

Although there are still dangers that cannot be ignored in the use of new skills, at least there will be no more life-threatening risks.

While she was working hard to improve, I was also working on my own, mainly trying to figure out how to change the Siren Blade into other shapes to form a body that would allow her to move in reality.

This method has not been successful yet, but I have at least confirmed one thing, that is, the Siren Blade can indeed change its shape.It's not that I didn't try to change the shape of the weapon during the devil period, but ended in failure. The reason why I can succeed now is probably because I am really controlling the Siren Blade with my own will.Now I can change it into a sword shape, a gun shape, a stick shape, and also change it into a hammer shape, or even a bow shape, but it is still far away from the complex human shape.

Although I have thought about turning the Siren Blade into a handsome sword, I am not used to changing weapons now, so I continue to maintain the shape of the axe.

Now that the recuperation is over, it's time for me to leave.
