The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 549 The Secret Between Us

Are you not a monster?Why is it going so slowly?
Are you not a monster?Isn't it a monster?

This sentence is like a three-dimensional surround sound effect, endlessly looping in Yang Yang's mind.Youkai...youkai...? !

"Who do you say is a monster!?" Yang Yang raised his head suddenly, looked at An Lan, swept away his weak and dying appearance, and replaced it with a serious face.No, it's more scary than serious, as if someone gave an answer that he didn't want to know, and he would kill immediately.

If you change to someone else at this time, you probably have to think about whether you said something wrong, or something is wrong.It's just that the one with him now is An Lan, a monster who has never left the palace group. He can't read people's faces, nor can he guess others' thoughts.He has always followed his own heart, he will say what he sees, and he will not think about other things, but what he sees now is a monster that should be very powerful, but it looks like it is leaning against the wall and panting.

So he replied without thinking, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm not a monster!" Unexpectedly, Yang Yang suddenly yelled at him.

As if these words were the entire expression of Yang Yang's heart, with such determination, the voice echoed in the entire tower, and the two of them didn't speak for a while listening to this voice.

An Lan didn't speak because he couldn't figure it out, and didn't know what he said wrong.After all, this guy named Yang Yang, who likes to give himself a human name like Ying Long, is indeed a monster.

And Yang Yang didn't speak because he was frightened himself.He never knew why he was so sensitive about this matter.I don't know why I suddenly yelled so loudly.

Inside the towering tower, an awkward silence spread between the two.

On the one hand, he was surprised by his own performance, and on the other hand, he was completely wrong.

"You..." After a while, Yang Yang finally broke the silence. He looked at An Lan who was obviously out of shape because of his roar just now, and asked in a low voice, "You just said... I'm a monster?"

Yang Yang almost said the last few words in his mouth.The voice was very quiet, if it wasn't because An Lan was listening to him wholeheartedly, if it wasn't because An Lan was a monster, no one would have heard those last words.

An Lan was stunned for a moment. Although he was ignorant of the world, he still had a basic IQ.Even if he didn't react just now, at this moment, Yang Yang could already see that he didn't want to hear what he just said.So after seeing Yang Yang's current performance, he wisely shut his mouth.

But what Yang Yang is most afraid of at this time is that he will not speak.It seemed to be a silent spell, constantly reminding him of the details that he had noticed and deliberately ignored.All those piles point to the truth. An Lan has never lied. Every word and sentence he said is true.

He said, aren't you a monster too?He said, Yang Yang is a monster.

Yang Yang couldn't help but think of the spot of light he saw in the middle of the night when he was a child, the people who bullied him when he was a child would always be unlucky, and he thought that he could see all kinds of weird things.Worst of all, he remembered what he had seen not so long ago.

He lied to Yuan Mu, he said that he didn't see clearly what was in the crystal mirror, and that he saw a strange beast in front of that huge crystal mirror under the stratum of Shiwan Dashan. what is it.But later when Yuan Mu came to help him, in that glimpse, he saw standing behind him was a monster with a beard like a sphinx and two horns on its head. Yuan Mu's original form.

Although it was very short, Yang Yang was sure that he read it right.

In the mirror, Yuan Mu's prototype appeared in the place where he was standing, and a monster he had never seen before appeared in the place where he was standing. What does this represent?Yang Yang didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it, as if if he stayed on this question for a second longer, he would get a glimpse of some secrets that he didn't want to face.

But what is it?

Yang Yang didn't understand it before, but he just didn't think about it subconsciously, like an ostrich, thinking that he could escape everything by burying his head in the sand.But in fact, what should happen will always happen, either today or tomorrow, no secret can remain a secret for a long time.

At this moment, Yang Yang finally realized how ridiculous he was.

He was wishful thinking and unwilling to face that fact, unwilling to think about what that monster he saw standing beside Yuan Mu and appearing in the mirror was.He thought that everything would be fine in this way, otherwise, if he really wanted to know, no matter whether he asked Yuan Mu or Ning Yuan, he would always have a definite answer.

But in the end, he still didn't speak.

He felt that it was best to keep this matter a permanent secret.In this way, he can continue to live with the already dilapidated illusion, pretending that he is just a human being, an ordinary human being.

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing that his expression was not right, An Lan immediately asked with concern.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, his intuition told him that this matter had nothing to do with him.He didn't want to see someone making trouble in his tower, and he didn't want to make a scene in his tower after Ying Long came back.After all, no matter what, this guy is a guest brought in by Ying Long, and Ying Long is his guardian in name.

"I'm fine." Yang Yang recovered from his worried voice, raised his head and showed him a smile uglier than crying, and said in a low voice: "You just said that I am a monster, so can you see my prototype? ?”

"I can't see it." An Lan shook her head, tilted her head and said, "Actually, it's quite strange to say that I can't see your prototype. Although I don't like to see people's prototypes, I want to see them." But I can't see it, you are the first! Did you use any spell?"

When she said the last sentence, An Lan became excited.He has not left Donghai for so many years, not because of other reasons, but because he is afraid that someone will see through his prototype, and if someone finds out that his prototype is Zhenhai Shenzhu, there will be more and more troubles in the future.So just to be on the safe side, An Lan has never left here since she opened her spiritual wisdom.

If Yang Yang really had a way to hide his prototype, An Lan thought, then he could use spells to hide his prototype.In this case, no one will see your prototype. If you are more careful, maybe you can go to the sea to see it?Farther away, maybe you can go to a human town and see what the human beings under your protection look like.

Of course, all of this is just An Lan's own thoughts, he has never told anyone, and will never tell anyone.

"Can't you see it?" Yang Yang was immersed in his own thoughts, completely forgetting An Lan's last question, and he said to himself: "Since I am a monster, why does no one know what my prototype is?" What? People who know it don’t want to tell me.”

Yang Yang thought of all the things wrong with Yuan Mu before, at first he was unwilling to think about it, but now looking back, it seems that Yuan Mu and the others already knew his identity after returning from Shiwan Dashan.He alone was kept in the dark.

Although it wasn't enough to make him feel that all the previous trust would be destroyed, it did make him feel bad.

"I can't see it, but I feel that the smell on your body is somewhat familiar." An Lan shook her head and said, selectively ignoring his behavior of ignoring her questioning.Looking at his distraught appearance, not only can't he remember that he is a monster, but even what kind of monster he is needs to be judged by others, which is quite pitiful when he thinks about it.And bullying a poor person, ah no, a monster, has never been An Lan's style.

"Then can you remember what it is?" His words gave Yang Yang some expectations, so he asked expectantly.

An Lan was a little embarrassed, he looked at Yang Yang for a long time, and then he hesitated and said: "It should be a very old, very old monster... um... I should have seen you when I was still in the bead, your breath is very unique , there is only one in the whole world, so I can remember it so clearly."

You must know that it is still in the beads, that is to say, An Lan's practice is far from complete, and his spiritual wisdom has not yet fully opened, which should be a long, long time ago.At that time, I had already seen Zhenhai Shenzhu, so I can be sure that it is a big monster.

"Do you have any other impressions?" Since Yuan Mu and the others are unwilling to tell themselves, they can only investigate this matter by themselves.Yang Yang thought about it, looked at An Lan and said, "Think slowly, it's okay."

After saying this, he sat down against the wall, and now he was not in a hurry to see Zhenhai Shenzhu, nor was he in a hurry to visit the palace, because the things in front of him were obviously more important than these.The most important thing is that he knew that if he couldn't find out something with An Lan's help in the East China Sea this time, Yuan Mu and the others might keep it from him for the rest of their lives.

"No more..." An Lan answered in a low voice absent-mindedly. After a while, she raised her head to look at Yang Yang and said, "Give me some more time to think about it, and I will definitely remember it."

It's not because of Yang Yang, but An Lan feels that it's very bad that he can't remember anything.

"Can you keep it a secret for me?" Looking at his appearance, Yang Yang was noncommittal, but instead made a bold decision: "Just think about it quietly, and then tell me. About this matter, before the truth comes out, Let's keep him a secret, shall we?"

Yang Yang said, and added in a low voice: "It's a secret between us."
