I practiced 999 sword skills

Chapter 197 Sword Spirit: Carlo of Underworld Flame

A feeling like an electric shock spread upwards along Su Ran's fingertips and spread throughout Su Ran's entire body in an instant.

It might as well be because of some deer bumping into each other or a feeling of spring.

but because.

The temperature of these hands is really too cold.

The moment the ten fingertips touched, Su Ran even thought he was holding a piece of ice in his hand.

"Don't be afraid." A familiar voice came in your ears, "I'm here."

It's not my sister's voice.

"Li Luo?"

In the vast white fog, Su Ran couldn't see anything at all, so she could only whisper subconsciously.

"Ah."

Li Luo said,

"As long as you don't let go, you can find me no matter how dark it is."

Li Luo's voice was very soft, but it sounded as firm as a rock.

Su Ran's mood suddenly calmed down.

But the surrounding fog is getting weirder and weirder.

Under its cover, visibility has dropped to almost zero.

Su Ran could only hear Yang Peilin's constant shouting and the footsteps coming and going around him.

At this point, Su Ran was basically certain that they had fallen into the Lost Realm.

This kind of weather environment is completely inconsistent with common sense. Even Kyoto, which often suffers from smog, has never produced such an exaggerated fog.

Not to mention it happened in the blink of an eye.

[The target sword skill has been extracted: Heart of Giant. 】

[Do you want to spend a supreme copy scroll to copy the target sword skill? 】

The sound of the system rang in my ears again.

Only then did he remember that he had not confirmed the news.

But at this time, a strange and familiar feeling suddenly lingered around Su Ran.

It was like the moment he felt every time he entered a new spiritual realm.

"?"

Su Ran was taken aback.

How is this going?

It doesn't make sense.

He had obviously been within the range of Li Luo's spiritual pressure and had been within the Shadow Corridor. How could he feel like this?

But then he realized what was happening.

Because he saw the value on the spiritual power detector flashing and beating rapidly.

Finally it stopped at an unfamiliar value.

The thick white fog in front of him suddenly flashed and then disappeared.

The scene in front of me has changed.

Su Ran realized what happened.

This is a dimensional jump.

And he didn't do it on his own initiative.

Someone used the jump crystal to bring him here together.

No more dingy neighborhoods.

It's the interior of a Gothic-style building.

Intricate patterns fill the towering dome.

Arched doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and various beautiful murals hung in a circle on the walls.

Like an empty Western-style church.

"This is... the bell tower?" This was Su Ran's first reaction.

"Yes." Li Luo's voice rang in his ears again.

He saw the crystal in Li Luo's hand that had just been used flicker slightly and eventually go out.

"Why did you bring me here?" Su Ran's expression changed slightly, "The team is still in danger, why did we leave without permission?"

Li Luo didn't answer.

She was silent, just holding Su Ran's hand and leading him through arched doors one after another and through aisles one after another.

"She wants to see you." After a while, she said.

"Who?" Su Ran asked doubtfully.

"My sister." Li Luo said softly.

"?" Su Ran was completely confused.

Li Luo felt that the hand she was holding was suddenly pulled away, and Su Ran's hand grasped her wrist, holding her tightly, preventing her from moving forward even half a step.

"What's going on?" Su Ran's voice deepened.

"She is the owner of this shadow corridor." Li Luo said, "And my mission is to bring you to her."

"Master?" Su Ran said, "Why does she want to see me?"

Another long silence.

Finally, Li Luo spoke.

"She wants your soul." "...What do you mean?"

"She has always been eager to form a contract with Carlo, the Sword Spirit and Dark Flame, but the price is to sacrifice a soul that is pure enough and has high enough spiritual power."

Li Luo said quietly,

"And it's hard to find someone who meets all the criteria she wants. It can even be said to be one in a million."

"And your soul is one of them."

"...Why me?" Su Ran stared at Li Luo blankly, "What if the soul picked out is mine?"

At best, he is just a fat nerd waiting to die. Not to mention a one-in-a-million soul, he is not even interesting at all, okay?
Logically speaking, a soul like his could be sold by the pound, so how could he be targeted by her elder sister?

"The slayer of Thunder Keller, the terminator of Nidhogg, the guardian of the sky, the successor of Eleno, the blood of the elves..."

Li Luo slowly recounted Su Ran's past one by one, word by word.

"If such a soul is called Ping Ping Ru Qi, her wish will probably remain a fantasy for the rest of her life, right?"

"So, is this why you have been so good to me since we met?"

Su Ran said calmly.

Li Luo's lips moved slightly, but in the end he remained speechless.

His eyes moved elsewhere unconsciously.

right.

Logically speaking, this should be the case.

But the emotions are somewhat complicated.

It's like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and I can't tell what it feels like.

"Did you bring me here to gain my trust so that I could let my guard down?"

Su Ran's voice was surprisingly calm.

"I'm sorry." Li Luo said.

"So the target of the previous raiders was not you, but me?" Su Ran asked again.

This time, Li Luo shook his head.

"it's me."

She whispered, her voice trembling inexplicably,
"That's the servant she sent here."

"She said that if I didn't bring you here, even if I were her biological sister, she would kill me mercilessly."

"That raider was probably her ultimatum."

"Oh."

Su Ran said calmly.

"So, what kind of garbage is your sister?"

"If you want my soul, ask for it yourself."

"What's the point of hiding behind my sister?"

Li Luo was silent for a long time, "You don't hate me?"

"well enough."

Su Ran turned sideways and sighed softly,

"I just feel...a little disappointed."

"Probably because this year, I have faced death too many times."

"So at this moment, I actually feel very calm."

"It's just that I think... it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"When I was a kid, I failed a math test once, with a score of only 29."

"Because it felt really painful to be slapped on the butt by a clothes hanger, so I secretly changed it to 89 points and took it to my dad to sign."

"Although the score of 89 is not very high, dad is still very happy."

"Because I basically just passed the exam before, he smiled broadly, praised me for my great progress, and even bought me my favorite jelly."

"But that night, I couldn't sleep."

"I don't think I'm happy at all."

"The guilt lingered with me all night. I swore to the stars that I would never do such a thing again."

"So I guess it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Lies told shouldn't be so perfect..."

"And the human heart should not be separated by belly and fat..."

"Everyone's eyes should be sincere and clear..."

"Only in this way can the world be saved, right?"

Li Luo felt Su Ran's hand slowly loosen.

Her five fingers grasped a piece of air, which was empty as if something was missing.

"Anyway, thank you for everything."

Su Ran's hand gradually touched the hilt of the sword in the stone,

"But that's the end of it."

At this time.

when--

The bell rang.
