MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 130 Swordsman and Exorcist (16)
================================
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
No one spoke in the empty hall, and it was dead silent.
Even if it is difficult to fight, it is necessary to fight to the death.
"That's good - for the next time, please ask Miss Ling to stay in the mansion temporarily, how about that?"
However, unexpectedly, Senior Brother Lu only nodded slightly, and said arrogantly in his expression.
This is an inquiry that leaves no room for Ling Yan to refuse.
But why—they didn't do it?
With their means, they will not be so merciful.
"Everything is ready, now we just need to find Gu Zhong - no, it should be the monster in human skin.
I have reported this matter to the king, whoever can get rid of this demon can succeed as the next national teacher. "
Senior Brother Lu turned to Ling Ying and said, almost expressly.
"Come on! Prepare to issue a chasing order!"
He then preached loudly to the door.
Of course, no monster can escape.
But—why did they issue a chasing order?
How far are they from the truth?
"Miss Ling, the place may not be very good, please take care of yourself these few days, please—"
Instructed to make arrangements, Senior Brother Lu approached and bowed to her, looking ready to lead the way.
—There must be not many people who know about that place.
Ling Yan was thinking in her heart, if not, why would she have to do everything herself?
"Ling Yan, I believe you are a smart person."
Before leaving, Ling Ying called her and left an unknown goodbye.
—
The National Teacher's House at night was on guard again.
If there are people who understand the interior of the National Teacher's Mansion, they will definitely find that the guard is far greater than before.
The disciples of the division patrol were changed from one pair to three teams, and the fire was bright all night, illuminating every corner.
The patroller's line of sight is staggered and division of labor, making every effort to ensure that any changes in the National Division Palace are in sight.
The appearance of waiting for this, as if there will be some highly skilled spy robbers sneaking in tonight.
"Is she really coming?"
On the highest pavilion in the house, there are two people playing chess in the dark.
"What that person said has never been in vain."
One person answered.
"Hopefully."
The other person snorted coldly and made a move.
—
When the golden plaque, the only holy word that can stop the demon, shatters, it loses its original effect.
She squatted down and felt the ground with her hands, not knowing what she was fiddling with.
After a while, a rush of light flashed, and a huge cave appeared on the solid mountain.
The enchantment disappeared, and she turned into a fog and disappeared in the darkness.
Entering the mountain from the entrance of the cave, one after another of the steep stone steps circled into a circular ring, extending to the depths of the ground.
Push a round boulder down, and the rolling sound gradually drifts away, until the human ear can't hear it, and still can't hear its stagnant sound.
On the steps of the ring, in the wall of the mountain, there are grooves embedded with strange charms on the grooves.
The black mist stopped in front of a luminous groove and re-formed into a human shape. She stretched out her hand to remove the spell on it and turned the mechanism in front of the door.
With the sound of "Rumble", the groove slowly lifted upwards, which turned out to be a stone gate.
The light coming from the door was particularly dazzling in the total darkness deep underground.
The burning light of the oil lamp was imprinted on the face of the person who came, Ling Yan saw that familiar but unfamiliar face - the face of Gu Zhong.
"Ayan—"
She called softly.
Ling Yan raised her eyebrows, and immediately touched her waist subconsciously, wanting to dig out her magic weapon.
When she didn't touch anything, she realized that all her magic tools were taken away.
As a person who is being abused, of course, they can't expect that they will leave something good with destructive power.
Fortunately, if the stone door is opened, the spell used to seal the spell on the door will inevitably fail.
Ling Yan immediately used the formula, exhausted all her strength, and resolutely attacked Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong turned into a black mist again, dodging her attack perfectly, and appeared beside her in a blink of an eye.
"Ayan, what are you doing?"
Gu Zhong was close to her, and quickly grabbed her right wrist that was about to re-interpret the spell.
"What the **** are you?"
Ling Yan's unrestricted left hand hit Gu Zhong's waist with an elbow.
Gu Zhong groaned and was knocked back a few steps.
Ling Yan immediately stepped forward, grabbed Gu Zhong's neck with her hand, and pressed her against the stone wall, with the other hand she squeezed a white magic formula, which jumped and grew at her fingertips, but Has not been thrown out yet.
"It's not the point-"
It was clearly an extremely dangerous situation, but Gu Zhong still chuckled lightly, as if he was certain that any attack from Ling Yan would not be able to cause any harm to himself.
Ling Yan looked at Gu Zhong in front of her, her eyes were no longer as pure black as obsidian, and there was no black mist leaking from her body.
If she hadn't seen with her own eyes how Gu Zhong freely transforms between different forms, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to tell her true body, it turned out to be a demon.
A deceived anger rose in Ling Yan's heart, mixed with helpless discouragement.
"Where is the demon possessed? You are clear that you are a demon from beginning to end."
She gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Zhong and said, her eyes full of sadness and confusion.
“What am I, does it really matter?”
Gu Zhong sighed lightly and slowly removed Ling Yan's hand from her throat.
"Whatever I am, I will never hurt you."
A solemn promise and assurance, word by word, spat out from her lips.
"But you're a demon, a destructive-hurting-cannibal-"
Roaring, her hands trembled, Ling Yan staggered back a few steps, she thought of the monstrous black fog in the night Taoist temple, all the innocents who turned into demons, and it was still very lively during the day. The Holy Land became a dead place in an instant.
"Ayan, in your eyes, do I really exist like this?"
Gu Zhong widened his eyes and looked at Ling Yan, his face full of injuries.
—How do you know, I'm not caring?
—even though they may still retain their humanity, just hard to control?
Ling Yan recalled the words Gu Zhong once said in her mind, and her mind was confused.
Humanity, sanity, the qualities that these demons do not have, there are still signs of existence in Gu Zhong.
But she is still a monster, no one has ever been like her, no one!
Ling Yan remembered again, the cold light of the sword that night when she first saw it, astonished her life; the many secret conversations that camphor tree heard, the plain but happy days; and many more The next time we fought side by side, the trust and support we once delivered.
All of this is not fake.
The demon who preserves human nature and memory—this is Gu Zhong.
How did you answer at that time?
—It's better to end it.
It's easy to say, but now Ling Yan knows that she can't do it at all.
"Ayan, the matter of Taoism is not me."
Gu Zhong took a step towards her, still trying to explain.
"Who is that?"
The guess in her heart has been shaken, but Ling Yan still squinted at Gu Zhong and asked aggressively.
"—Ling Ying. You are here now, presumably not ignorant. The National Teacher's House hides a shocking conspiracy.
You shouldn't have been involved - if only I hadn't gone to you. "
After that, Gu Zhong seemed very remorse and self-blame.
—but you should come to me.
Between Ling Yan, there was such a voice in Ling Yan's heart calling out, full of grief and sadness, as well as a nostalgic nostalgia.
"Ling Ying is no longer my clan brother, and I don't believe even a word of the stories they made up.
If there is more than one monster like you, then Ling Ying is probably also transformed by a monster.
It's ridiculous, this whole world, all this, has fallen under the control of demons. "
Quickly pulled her thoughts away, Ling Yan pretended to be calm.
"The priority is to get out of here."
Gu Zhong looked out the door, frowning slightly, she heard small footsteps coming from the ground.
"Gu Zhong, I don't believe you."
Ling Yan said suddenly, making Gu Zhong stunned for a moment.
"You are a demon, I am a human, and our natural positions are different.
However, I don't believe them even more.
I wish I could really trust you. "
The immediate turning point eased Gu Zhong's anxious brows.
"You can trust me."
She said so.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently for a moment, and there was a faint roar from the depths, and then it returned to calm.
Gu Zhong glanced at the ground thoughtfully, as if she could see the scene below through this thick rock layer.
"Go."
Then she stepped forward, gently held Ling Yan's hand, and pulled her into her arms.
It turned into a mass of black mist, wrapped her carefully, rushed out of the stone gate, and circled up the steep stone steps.
