canary dressed as a villain

Chapter 104 Illusion (1)

"Then it's fine."

The patriarch's voice was deep, as thick as a morning bell, and there was an aura of indisputability.

Hiiragi raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked, "What does the patriarch mean?"

The patriarch waved his hand and didn't care about her words at all, "You don't have to worry about it, as long as you stay in Mount Fuluo obediently and don't go anywhere."

Hiiragi couldn't help frowning, the strange feeling in her heart became more and more intense, and even revealed a dangerous feeling.

... This made her have to be vigilant.

But reason kept her from asking, and her intuition told her that she would not want to know the result.

……

Hiiragi Yu came down from the top of Mount Fuluo, and he didn't relax at all. Instead, his heart felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, his breathing was heavy, and he couldn't stop guessing wildly for a moment.

After all, she is really unfamiliar here, and she doesn't know the patriarch of the monster clan and others at all.

And what worries Hiiragi Yu most is that there is something they know but she doesn't know, which makes her feel that a huge conspiracy is stalking her, making her unable to relax and sleep for a moment.

After Hiiragi Yu went down the mountain, she didn't go back to her residence directly, but went to find Zuo Shiyun, and Zuo Shiyun moved out of the Young Master's Mansion without knowing why.

Hiiragi Yu didn't stop, and after asking the way, he headed towards the territory of the Huofeng Clan.

She doesn't regret that she followed Boyan to this demon world, after all, she really has no other place to stay, not only because the people of Xiyue Kingdom discovered her identity, Hiiragi always felt that there was something wrong with that priest.

Even if she escapes, the priest probably won't let her go easily.

For a little demon like Hiiragi Yu who just came to this world, the Yaozu was the best choice at that time, but in fact, coming to the Yaozu did not make her regret it. The trial field and the party really benefited a lot, but I don't know if there is a chance to go again.

But now she has a premonition that her situation will change, and she is not afraid. She simply cannot know what will happen in the future, so let's take a step and see.

Hiiragi Yu didn't think about looking for Boyan, even though he brought himself to Yaozu and helped him a lot, but under the current situation, Boyan might not be trustworthy.

At least, she must never let him see her worries and suspicions, even if Boyan really doesn't know anything, she can't bet.

Once the people of the Yaozu want to harm her, she will only face a situation where all sides are besieged.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi Yu hurriedly rushed to the Fire Phoenix Clan where Zuo Shiyun was.

Who would have thought that the person who disliked her everywhere and made trouble for her when they first met might become the only person she can trust now?
……

When Yu Yu arrived at the territory of the Fire Phoenix Clan, he happened to bump into a group of people who had just come out of it. Their clothes looked like they were serving people on the top of Mount Fuluo.

She stood not far away, looking at the group of people with some doubts, but the other party did not notice her, and her attitude towards the servants of the Huofeng clan was a little arrogant, and she left quickly.

After watching them leave, Hiiragi stepped forward and asked someone to inform Zuo Shiyun.Soon, Uncle Xu came out to pick her up in person.

After Hiiragi met Xu Bo, perhaps he was the first person Hiiragi met in the demon world who was friendly to her, so he got a little comfort and gradually stabilized his mood.

She followed Xu Bo through the courtyard and arrived at the front hall, where Zuo Shiyun was sitting there waiting for her. When she saw Hiiragi Yu coming, she put down the sword she was wiping, and asked a little strangely, "Why did you come here?"

Hiiragi raised her eyes and didn't answer her question, but noticed that her face seemed a little uncomfortable, so she asked back:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

She thought it was the old injury left by Zuo Shiyun when they were in the training ground, but she shook her head unexpectedly, "The injury I suffered before has healed up long ago, I'm fine."

Hiiragi frowned slightly.

Zuo Shiyun continued to ask, "Is there anything you can do with me?"

Hiiragi really asked her for help, "I want to enter the proving ground again, can you help me?"

The last time they went, Boyan took her in, and Zuo Shiyun took her out. The trial field seems to require the identity verification of the monster race. She knows the way, but she is afraid that she will be alone. If people go, they will not be able to get in or something will go wrong.

After hearing this, Zuo Shiyun didn't agree immediately, but frowned, and said with some disapproval: "You just came out, and you want to go in again?"

She recovered quickly because the Huofeng clan had countless pills for her to use, and most of her body was covered with skin injuries. Even if it was internal injuries and spiritual power loss, the pills would take effect quickly. alright.

But Hiiragi Yu is different. She doesn't have so many high-level pills to replenish, and she uses spells, which consume mental power, which cannot be replenished by simple treatment.The loss of mental power is not a trivial matter, at least ten days and a half months of cultivation are required.

Hiiragi Yu couldn't wait any longer, "I'm fine, now I want to go back to the proving ground."

Zuo Shiyun still didn't agree, "I didn't tell you all last time, the content of the next level is illusion, and then it will be fully supported by spiritual power, even your spiritual power will not be used. How could you pass that test in your current state?"

"It's okay, I can hold on." Hiiragi Yu smiled softly, but his eyes were firm, "You can take me there."

Zuo Shiyun turned her back, looking very hesitant, Hiiragi Yu didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just stood firmly in place, waiting for her answer.

But she knew that Zuo Shiyun would compromise.

Although she looks arrogant and willful, after getting to know her well, you will find that she is both sensible and kind in her bones.

Sure enough, after struggling, Zuo Shiyun still agreed, but he refused to look back, and he didn't want to look at her, so he just ordered: "Uncle Xu, take her there."

When she gave the order, she was still full of energy, and her voice was as proud as ever, but at the end, she was visibly trembling.

Hiiragi Yu pursed her lips, thanked her, and left with Uncle Xu.

After they left, Zuo Shiyun stood in the house for a long time by himself.

She stood in front of the court and looked at the plum blossoms specially planted for her by the Fire Phoenix Clan, which were blooming luxuriantly at this moment.

She also had the same plum blossoms in the Young Master's Mansion. She liked them, so they tried their best to find them for her and took pains to cultivate them.

Ever since she was a child, Zuo Shiyun has always been admired by the entire demon world. The ancestral bloodline of the beasts in her body is too precious. Even the patriarch of the demon clan wants to give her face and love her a lot, but... these are good , Is it really for her, Zuo Shiyun?

They will care about what she likes and what she doesn't like, they will pay attention to her emotions, they will pamper her, spoil her, and give her what she wants.

But in fact, what they see is always her precious blood. They don't care what kind of mood she is in, as long as she doesn't make trouble, as long as she doesn't want to run around, and just drink tonic every day.

As for why she should drink, Zuo Shiyun doesn't know, and from their point of view, she doesn't need to know, she can't get the answer.

But Zuo Shiyun is not reconciled. Although she doesn't know, she clearly foresees her own ending. She knows that she is just a chess piece, and when this chess piece will play a role depends on the mood of the chess player.

Before using it, he took good care of her, waiting for the day when she would be useful, but after that, her use value was drained, and she became a useless person. Who would care about her then?

Moreover, after so many years and so much painstaking effort, how could they recover less from her by then?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, Zuo Shiyun will not only become a useless person, but may directly kill her.

She is mentally prepared.

Even though she seems to be proud of being loved and honored by thousands of people every day, she is still restless. Even after a long time, she gradually calmed down and waited for this day calmly.

But after she met Hiiragi Yu, she saw another feeling from her.

That is the power that Zuo Shiyun has never experienced before, nor has he seen it in others.

—The desire to survive.

She is very tenacious, but the most important thing is that she inexplicably has an extremely strong pursuit of survival, which shocked Zuo Shiyun a little.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling, but it often shocked her.

Perhaps, because of this, she knew why Hiiragi Yu broke through to the third level so quickly.

She worked hard and tried her best to live, but she was not afraid of death.

These two seemingly contradictory qualities are strangely integrated in her body, giving Hiiragi Yu an unspeakable charm, and she is even able to turn the corner in a crisis and break through the predicament.

She has a kind of courage to break the boat, even in desperate situations.

Zuo Shiyun is looking forward to it, she doesn't know if she can see Hiiragi Yu use her spirit to break free from the cage that may be falling on her, but to be honest, she is very looking forward to seeing that scene.

-

Xu Bo took Zuo Shiyun with him, and headed for the trial site the same way.

She guessed right, entering the trial field does require the access token of the Yaozu. She just came here, and she can't have this. After all, she is not an official resident of the Yaozu.

When Uncle Xu sent her outside the trial ground, he didn't leave immediately, but stopped Hiiragi Yu and asked her a question.

"I heard that Hiiragi Yu is a conjurer."

Hiiragi smiled softly, and said humbly: "I'm not a formal conjurer, I just learned a few spells by myself."

Uncle Xu took out a piece of paper, "In the early years, I got a piece of talisman paper by accident, but I didn't have the talent to practice it, but I heard that it is a teleportation charm, and teleportation must be very useful for Miss Hiiragi. If possible, Miss Hiiragi can practice as soon as possible."

Hiiragi Yu took it over and took a look, and knew at a glance that it was a high-level spell. With her current level, she could draw it, but it would consume more than half of her spiritual energy.Although high-level spells are nothing to her now, high-level spells from the outside world are hard to come by. They are almost hard to come by, and there is no market for them. Moreover, there are very few high-level spell masters. Xu Bo can give her such a spell. A precious gift.

She didn't rashly say that she could draw this spell immediately, but just thanked Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu really helped her a lot. In order to express his gratitude, Hiiragi gave Xu Bo a few spells in his inventory, most of which were for defense and simple attack.

This is the spell that Hiiragi Yu is most proficient at now, and she also finds it the most useful.

Uncle Xu didn't refuse, and after taking it, he looked at Hiiragi Yu and hesitated to speak.

Hiiragi Yu said softly, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Uncle Xu also seemed embarrassed and smiled, "I have been with my young lady for many years, and I know that she is actually very kind in nature, and she looks difficult to get along with, but she is actually innocent and pure. In the future... if there is a chance, please invite her Girl Yu help her, this is my kind request."

Hiiragi laughed. Although she didn't feel that Zuo Shiyun's strength and status required her help, she still nodded kindly. When she answered, her eyes and voice were very sincere, and she said seriously: " I will, I will make a life-and-death situation, Zuo Shiyun is now my friend, I will definitely help if I can."

Uncle Xu smiled gratifiedly, nodded, and signaled her to go in.

Hiiragi Yu saluted him, turned around and jumped into the trial ground as before.

Xu Bo stood on it, looking at the ten thousand miles of stratus clouds and mist. After a long time, he sighed softly.

-

What Zuo Shiyun said is right, the fourth level is an illusion, and Hiiragi Yu vaguely realized it the moment he entered.

As if she had fallen straight from a tornado, she rolled around in the dark environment, and then fell straight down, falling into the soft and warm sand.

The surroundings were dark, as if it was dusk. In the empty valley, she saw a small river with black water not far away, undulating hills, and there seemed to be an abandoned cave in the distance, and there was a place where the light was.

Hiiragi Yu walked forward along the light, but the further he walked, the darker his eyes became, and the further he walked, the more blurred his vision became.

Finally, when she was about to walk in front of the light, her eyes went dark and she fell heavily on the ground.

When she woke up again, she found a dazzling white in front of her eyes, and people were coming and going in the familiar corridor. She almost fell to the ground as soon as she woke up.

Fortunately, a passing nurse quickly supported her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Hiiragi felt dizzy in his head and still had a headache, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with me?"

The nurse just passed by, so how can she know what happened to her, but the left side of the hospital is nothing more than these things, she guessed that the family members of the patient must have fallen asleep sitting in the corridor tired, so she asked: "What is your date?" Family members in the ward?"

Hiiragi was in a daze for a moment, looked around, turned around and saw the number behind him, and then answered.

She always felt that the scene in front of her seemed to be doubled, and it was unreal in a trance. It was obvious that she was sent to the hospital this morning, so why did she not remember the ward so quickly? When she read it, it seemed... as if it had been a lifetime.

Hiiragi attributed the reason to the fact that she had just fallen asleep. When she was one of the few times she had nothing to do and could sleep for a whole afternoon, every time she woke up, she felt as if she didn’t know what day and night it was. It seemed like a world away. Her brain seemed to be rusted. Generally, it cannot work, and it will take a long time to recover.
