Useless

When he breathed out and was about to shout another round, a voice coming from the sky interrupted his actions.

"What are you talking about, talking in human terms!" Le Wuyi looked around, not seeing anyone, "Where did you imprison Yi Ze?!"

"Hmph, ignorance!" The voice sneered, "This deity saved your life today, and you are not grateful, and you still speak rudely, it's really sad!"

"Are you filming a costume drama? Can you speak well?" Le Wuyi looked around intently, "What did you do to Yi Ze?!"

"You seem to care about him... Ha, he is indeed a mortal, ignorant."

"Can you stop talking nonsense? Where is Yi Ze?! Don't blame me for being rude!"

"You're welcome? It's up to you? Hahahaha, you can't control yourself! You worry about him now, hmph, I'm afraid you won't have time to run away if you see his true face!"

"What do you mean?!"

"What do you mean? Hmph, you've known him for a long time, why, don't you even know his race?"

"Race?" Le Wuyi scratched his head, "Yi Ze... is also a mixed race?"

"It seems that he concealed it well... Mortal, I will give you a sentence today, 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different.', you should think about it!"

"Yi Ze never hides from me!" Le Wuyi frowned angrily, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, where did you hide Yi Ze? If you don't hand him over, you will regret it later!"

"Ridiculous! A mere mortal dares to threaten me?!"

"No matter what, I won't let you hurt Yi Ze!"

"Hehe, since you still don't give up... the deity will be merciful and show you what your friend is like."

As soon as the words fell, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the center of the flat floor. In the smoke, there was a shadowy figure lying on the ground. Le Wuyi knew it was Xia Yize when he saw the figure, and rushed forward without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, the closer he was to the figure, the more hesitant his footsteps became. Finally, he stopped half a meter away and did not go any further.

"What? Don't dare to approach? This is your good friend, a genuine human-skin hybrid, a fake half-monster! I'm afraid he never mentioned this to you, right?"

Le Wuyi blinked, the people on the ground were obviously wearing Xia Yize's clothes, and their facial features were very similar to him, but they had thin blue fins at the ear position, their hair color also turned blue, lying softly Lying on fairer skin than ordinary people.The other party's eyes were tightly closed, and the light blue eyelashes covered his cheeks thinly and densely, and the texture that gradually changed from blue to yellow painted a beautiful pattern on his face like a painting.This person is so familiar, but also so strange.

"Are you afraid? Regret it? Thinking that you were young and ignorant, you must have been deceived by it. This deity will let you live and let you go on your own."

Le Wuyi didn't speak or move.

"Hurry up?!" The voice in the void urged impatiently.

Xia Yi actually regained consciousness when Le Wuyi called him, but at the same time, he was horrified to find that his spiritual power was firmly bound in his body by some powerful spell, so that the body that had always been covered by the secret technique The monster form also appeared uncontrollably.Thick smoke covered his field of vision, and the conversations from the outside world were as clear as his ears in the silence, but he couldn't do anything.Xia Yi, on the other hand, felt that he had never been so helpless. He seemed to be bound on a high altar, with a thin thread hanging from his head and a sharp blade, glowing coldly with white light——

He was forced to await trial.

"Yize, is that you?" He heard Le Wuyi's familiar voice, but his facial muscles were so stiff that he couldn't speak, so he could only slightly nodded with a small hope.Then the voice sounded again, with a surprise ending, "It's really you? That's great!!"

Xia Yi rolled his eyes with difficulty, but unfortunately, because of being bound by the spell, his whole body was extremely cold and weak, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift his eyes.

Seeing this, Le Wuyi quickly stepped forward to help Xia Yize, and gently rubbed his eyes for him: "Don't worry, I won't believe his words, these are all illusions, just like what Zhen Ji conjured up before, yes wrong?"

Xia Yi only felt soreness in his chest, his lips trembled, and he hissed after a while, "...I'm sorry."

Le Wuyi's hand rested on the side of Xia Yize's face.

"Wuyi... In your eyes, am I terrible?" Recalling the conversation with Le Wuyi when he just entered the room, he felt as if a hundred coptis had been crushed between his teeth, and the strong bitter taste couldn't stop surge.

There was a dead silence around him, as if even the air flow had stagnated, Xia Yi saw the sharp sword above his head falling straight down, and just before the tip of the sword touched his scalp, Le Wuyi's voice sounded: "Ah? Why is it scary? You are Yi Ze!"

"but I--"

"But you are Yi Ze!" Le Wuyi repeated, "You are Yi Ze, that's enough."

Chapter 18

"The life body connection operation is progressing smoothly, and the estimated success rate can reach 70.00%." ​​Hitomi reported the progress of the work in a flat voice as usual, "The operation has now reached the stage of penetration testing, and the Jumu system control center will be ready in three to 10 minutes. It can be transplanted into the lord's nervous system."

"That is to say, there are still 10 minutes left in the chance I gave up?" Shen Ye leaned back in the chair, looking at Tong Tong with a serious face.

"You may think so."

Shen Ye didn't speak any more, but just silently watched the real-time broadcast of the surgical process on the sensor screen. The bright red progress bar squirmed in the box with the passage of time, and finally reached the end point.A string of codes continuously flashed across the sensor screen in front of Hitomi. Hitomi's fingers fluttered. After entering the final command, she lightly tapped the confirmation button. The bright red progress bar instantly turned gray, and a big message was displayed on the screen. 100% lettering.

"Congratulations to the High Priest, the operation was a success. If the city lord does not have an excessive rejection reaction within half a year, it means that the Jimu system has been completely controlled by the city lord."

Shen Ye took a deep look at him, and sighed almost imperceptibly: "Hitomi, sometimes I'm really curious about your thoughts."

"How to say?"

"No matter what happens, you are always calm."

"Oh? So you're dissatisfied with my attitude towards the city lord's devotion?" Tong still remained expressionless, "The heart demon resides in the Jumu system. We have to take measures after all, but it happens that the city lord just chose such a method."

"To put it another way," Shen Ye raised his eyes, and once again met the other's unwavering eyes, "In your eyes, has there ever been a living person?"

Hitomi showed a rare mocking smile: "You said, for ghosts like us, struggling to survive in this world, is there a difference between life and death...?"

Shen Ye glanced at Tong icily, pushed away the chair, got up and walked out of the monitoring room.

"However, even so, even though the hope is slim and the road ahead is long...but I still can't help but struggle, wanting to see the bright future." Hitomi's deep voice echoed in the empty room.

Shen Ye walked towards the main shrine with a solemn expression. The room originally used to house Cangming had been cleaned up, only a emerald green gauze hanging alone on the window sill, like the old days that were accidentally abandoned, stubbornly staring In the corner of memory, unwilling to leave.

While thinking, Shen Ye suddenly heard light footsteps outside the door. He turned around and saw a figure flash past the door: "Who is it? Come in."

Yi Suisheng walked into the room with steady steps, and leaned over to salute Shen Ye: "Yao Guang has seen the high priest."

"What are you doing here?"

"Back to High Priest, my subordinates are sorting out the remnants of Cangming City Lord, so that they can be sent to the Hall of Birth and Death for filing."

"Filing..." Shen Ye repeated in a low voice, then asked after a pause, "Have you sealed the files of Tianji and others?"

"It has been sealed." Yi Suisheng hesitated for a moment, and asked Shen Ye, "My subordinates found a type-invisible monitoring device in his office. Now the room is used by the Priest of the Pojun. Do you want to remove the monitoring device?"

"...No need." After a long silence, Shen Ye replied.

Yi Suisheng lowered his head respectfully: "Yes."

Shen Ye meaningfully looked at the old subordinate of the former chief. Since the failure of Chi Xiao's conspiracy to rebel, the forces of Tianji's lineage have been almost wiped out in the harsh purge.However, Yi Suisheng, who was promoted by him and played the role of right-hand man conscientiously, was able to retreat without even finding out the slightest stain.Chi Xiao, who has always been headstrong and narrow-minded, can actually tolerate the ambiguous attitude of his close subordinates—this seemingly low-key Yaoguang priest is really an unfathomable person... Shen Ye recalled the closing report sent by Huayue If so.

Yi Suisheng stood by with his usual expression, without even shaking his eyelids.

"Yaoguang, what do you think about moving to the lower realms and cooperating with external messengers?"

"Subordinates are short-sighted, not as far-sighted as your superior." Yi Suisheng's tone was gentle, and he also revealed his reverence for his superior just right, "The city lord and the high priest must do this for the welfare of the clan. I need to do my job well to help you complete your great cause.”

"If Chi Xiao succeeds, I'm afraid you will say the above words." Shen Ye was unmoved.

Yi Suisheng didn't panic: "My subordinates only focus on reality."

"...Okay, okay," Shen Ye waved his hand, "Back off."

Yi Suisheng nodded and slowly exited the room.Shen Ye stood where he was, watching from a distance the figure of Yao Guang Priest dissolving into the twilight outside the door.

Unpredictable, unpredictable... Is this the human heart?

"Stubbornness is ridiculous, ignorance... Is this the human heart?" As a golden light flashed on the edge of the venue, the voice that was originally in the void gradually became clear, "Cheng Ling
