Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ghost Prince
I raised the corners of my lips lightly, looked at the ghost in front of me and smiled: "It's okay if you don't want to be free, my heart will feel better, in the last ruins, the queen was very kind, she didn't want to leave the pain to me, but...... I don't want them to suffer like this anymore, their souls have been sealed here for sixty years......" I looked around with tears in my eyes, my heart ached like a infarction, tears slid down my cheeks again, "I can't ...... free"
Suddenly, the ghost in front of me stretched out his finger towards me, and my familiar blue light points moved in the transparent fingers, he gently touched my tears, his face was in front of me, his almost transparent eyes fell on my face, I looked up and smiled: "If you want to be free, you can find me at any time, I will come back, don't be afraid, it won't hurt very much." After I finished speaking, I turned around, picked up the gun again, and pointed it at the machine in front of me, "If you want to rely on this machine to get free, I don't know how many more sixty years it will take, and in these countless sixty years, I don't know how many lives it will devour again......
He stood beside me, his face lowered, and he didn't stop me anymore, and I smiled: "Thank you." "Immediately, I pulled the trigger, this terrible machine, devouring how many lives! Just to satisfy the greed of the Oni Eater, it is the Oni Eater Clan that is devouring other people's lives.
"Boom!" The fireball instantly enveloped the barrier wall in front of me, engulfing the entire sky above me, making the barrier wall more obvious in the golden-red-white explosion.
Lysius's speculation was confirmed, and Hoshikawa didn't lie to me, and no explosion could enter this god-sealed place again, making this the safest place in this world for ghosts.
And they, too, can't leave.
The ghost never left, standing beside me and watching the great, yet almost silent, explosion with me.
I still remember the moment when the ice dragon showed me the destruction of the ruins of Chloe, it was not an explosion, it was just a dazzling blue light, and then it was just smoke and dust, and I didn't see an explosion like this today.
The fire engulfed the heavens and the earth for a long time, and then there was a huge amount of smoke and dust, which instantly covered the sky, obscured the sky and the sun, and took away all the light of this world, and the fire flashed from time to time in the smoke and dust, as if the explosion was not over, continuing in this huge dust and smoke.
In the dim world, the trunks of the trees began to emit a faint blue light, and blue flowers bloomed in the air.
The ghost lowered his face, as if remembering the day when the end came, and it was like this that the smoke covered the heavens and the earth, and a thick aura of sorrow emanated from his body.
I looked at him, stretched out my hand, and gently grabbed his transparent hand, he was startled, but he seemed to find that he was not devoured by me, he slowly raised his hand, I let go of his hand and followed him, palms facing each other, between our palms were adherent blue liquid light spots, like fetters.
He winked at me, and I smiled at him and nodded: "I control my abilities, if you are afraid now, I will not help you get rid of it, I am not a murderer." "It's their own volition to help them get free, and if they're not voluntary, then I'm murdering.
Because it was murder, I couldn't accept this reality at first.
My heart attack hurts, I tighten my eyebrows and swallow the tears of this painful life, and my hands are already full of life.
I withdrew my hand, and the blue light departed from his hand little by little, eventually disappearing into my hand.
"You killed the ghost in the ruins of Chloe?" I didn't answer Hoshikawa's words in my ear, "If you don't want to say it, I won't ask again." The dust and smoke are still relatively heavy, and we can't come in for the time being, so I'll pick you up in about half an hour. If you're hungry, you can see what's inside. "He also cared if I was hungry or not.
"Good. I know. I looked around, "I'd like to take a tour, is that okay?" "I look at the ghost, he should be the lord of this city, like the queen in the ruins of Crow, he is also the king here, the ghost prince here.
He didn't speak, just looked at me.
I dropped the gun, I didn't want him to think I was here to rob his home. The moment I dropped my weapon, he let his guard down.
I walked up the huge trunk of the tree, step by step through the beautiful blue flowers, and I was the only one left in the quiet world.
"What do you mean by liberation?" Suddenly, Xingchuan's words rang in his ears again, "You also said that the machine can help them get rid of it, do you know what they are?" ”
"They...... It's people. After I finished speaking lightly, there was a long silence in my ears, and Xingchuan seemed to fall into a long silence for a while.
The blue ghost prince followed me, always at a distance, and climbed the vines, either sinking into the thick trunk or leaping on the trunk beside me, keeping his eyes on me.
"They were humans sixty years ago, and on the day of the end they became ghosts and were trapped here forever......" I continued, looking at the ghost prince, who lowered his face and jumped in front of me, straightening up, his blue tail of light swaying behind him.
"How do you know?" Hoshikawa asked softly.
"The former queen of the ruins of Chloe showed me."
"There was indeed a female mayor at the ruins of Crow."
"She has beautiful silver hair......"
"That's right, it's her, I believe you. So, you can kill all the ghosts in the ruins? ”
"It's not killing!" I became excited, stopped, and clenched my fists, "I'm not going to help you kill them!" ”
"I'm sorry."
The Ghost Prince stopped in front of me and turned to look at me quietly.
I raised my hands with trembling movements, and my breathing trembled uncontrollably.
"You...... It must be painful to help them get rid of them......" Hoshikawa's soft words again came in his ear.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and when I looked up, I saw the ghost prince looking at me, he blinked, turned around again, and continued on.
"They're human, if you want to enter the ruins safely, you can knock on the door first." I looked at the back of the ghost prince, "Because, they are our ancestors, and they are willing to help us ......"
"Knock on the door first......" Hoshikawa repeated softly.
I followed behind the Phantom Prince, who seemed to show me around.
He stood tall in front of a tall building with a strange face, and the colorful colors showed how much the people of the city once loved colors.
He entered through the wall, and I pushed open the totemic door, and immediately the blue flowers inside began to bloom, showing me the way to the mysterious garden.
The Ghost Prince walked among the flowers, he leaned over a dark orchid flower, a smile appeared on his quiet face, he loved the flowers, and then he continued to leap forward, his light body drawing a beautiful blue line in the darkness, and then he stopped in the center of the hall.
The branches began to move away from the surrounding walls, revealing one beautiful painting after another!
"It's a painting of Gu Chen's ruins!" In my ears was Hoshikawa's excited voice, "This is the gallery!" ”
One by one, a painting emerges in the faint blue light, there are people singing and dancing happily, there are beautiful and bright smiling faces, and ...... Magnificent mountains and rivers!
I stood in front of a huge mountain and river, as if standing in the sky above the Yellow River, the surging river is endless, the sky and the water are connected, the trees on both sides are lush and green, and among the greenery, is a huge snow-white blooming rose.
"It's the Garden Library!" I recognized the white rose-like building at a glance.
The Ghost Prince jumped up to my side and stood up straight and looked at me in some surprise.
I looked to the side again, and the painting was modern, with a silver building, distorted in arcs like a beautiful and bewitching woman, and like a beautiful tune turned into a vision.
"It's the ruins of Chloe!" I looked at him, and he tilted his face to look at me, "Are you afraid that I will lie to you?" ”
Without speaking, he turned and leapt into the depths of the gallery, the blue light lit up as he jumped, revealing one painting after another.
I looked at the past one by one, just like watching the changes in Blue Shield City with pink in Blue Shield City. These paintings record the buildings, people, beauty, and romance of the world.
There are also people in love* embracing each other in a red rose, in front of art, your heart is pure, the handsome man embraces her deeply from behind the beautiful woman, his hands are wrapped around the woman's snow-white breasts, the woman's long hair is wrapped around the whole body, she raises one hand and wraps it around her lover's neck.
The painting records the lingering love and passion of a man and a woman.
And beside them, there was a clear smiling face, her big black eyes were pure world, the cute little girl raised the corners of her lips, smiling innocently, and her curly brown hair was like curly chocolate.
"Luo Bing, I'm here." Hoshikawa's words came from his ears, "You tell them not to attack me." Hoshikawa already had a hint of command.
They are like this in Silvermoon City, they think they are as noble as gods, they enter directly wherever they go, and they never knock on the door, just like entering our Noah City.
"Please, they're your ancestors." I stubbornly said that even though it was just a sentence, I could even convey it with my deference. However, this time, I will be stubborn once and will not compromise.
After a long time, Hoshikawa's voice came: "Please don't attack me, because I want to take you home." He spoke slowly, and there shouldn't have sounded like he was being forced, and I thought he was going to grit his teeth, like he wanted to kill me.
I looked at the ghost prince in front of me: "The robot has come to pick me up, I should go, please don't attack him, I will come back." ”
The Ghost Prince didn't speak, just looked at me from afar.
I turned and ran outside, and he also sprang up on the trunk of a tree not far from me, dragging a long tail of light behind him, leaving a beautiful blue band of light in the darkness.
