Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

After Zhao Lin was locked in the room, his first reaction was to observe how the room's furnishings were different from before.

Nothing is different.

Even the pendulum clock on the cabinet—the pendulum clock made of ebony has smooth curves, the body of the clock is carved with the profile of a goddess holding a star, the golden sun pattern pendulum swings back and forth tirelessly, and the glass clock face is blurred. Reflecting his shadow.

The flow of time here is always unpredictable.

But what is even more unpredictable... It seems that there is Si Qingxuan.

Zhao Lin was silent for a while, then walked to the window, trying to open the window connected to the outer wall, only to find that the window was sealed with wooden boards from the outside to the inside.The scratches on the window sills are fresh, indicating that the window has just been sealed.

Zhaolin: "..."

He knew that someone held a grudge.Last time he was kicked out for sneak attack on the bed, this time the opponent will never give him such a chance again.

He should be thankful that Si Qingxuan at least left a gap for him when he sealed the window - it seems that he didn't mean to suffocate him in the room.

He could even imagine that Si Qingxuan smiled at him, but said mercilessly, "Be honest and don't bother me".

Zhao Lin stretched out his hand, caressed every grain of the window carefully, and then opened his palm to have a look.

His talent determines that he doesn't need to use swords and guns most of the time.However, when he was receiving newcomer training, he still had some basic courses on firearms, and he has not given up on training until now, and even developed it into a hobby of his own.

The once slender hand with only thin calluses on the fingertips had some rough calluses on the surface of the hand, and even left a few faint scars.

Looking at the callus marks on his hands, Zhao Lin thought, Si Qingxuan would not like his hands to be like this.

...But it doesn't matter.Anyway, he wouldn't hold Si Qingxuan's hand again.

A window that is not very strong for the awakened person just sealed the heart of Zhaolin; he can burn this window to ashes without any effort, so what about his relationship with Si Qingxuan?

Can't go back to the past.

If he still regards Si Qingxuan as the Si Qingxuan who used to be with him, and regards himself as the promising future attendant—that would be a big mistake.

Zhao Lin felt that she was not despicable enough to pretend to have amnesia.

He just wanted to ask Si Qingxuan why he came to this illusion; he wanted to send Si Qingxuan out of this illusion safely.

Therefore, he hopes to seek cooperation with Si Qingxuan.In other words, he hoped that Si Qingxuan would accept the cooperation request of the awakened quartet.

More, he didn't dare to think about it for the time being.

Si Qingxuan performed better in the illusion than the four awakened people from the official organization - no matter how you look at it, he is not an "ordinary person" who has no resistance.

This means that there is a high probability that Si Qingxuan is also an awakened person.

But... how could he become an awakened one?

A few years ago, the meteor shower that symbolized the change of the disaster star came to the earth.From then on, the strange creatures seemed to be injected with vitality, wreaking havoc in the human world.At the same time, many people became awakened after experiencing the meteor shower.

The group of people who were favored by spiritual energy can be said to have all kinds of "talents" at the right time.

After that night, new awakened ones appeared in the human group one after another.However, there are very few such natural awakeners—the probability is about one in ten thousand, and there are no fixed conditions.

A large number of awakening examples have proved to people that there is no absolute standard for "awakened".Anyone can be an Awakened man, woman, or child—it's a matter of pure probability.

The Awakened are often on the frontlines of the fight against disasters.They are the dams of human civilization, resisting the invasion of disasters and disasters.They acquiesce that they may be sacrificed in the mission at any time.Because most of the awakened, sooner or later, will also lose their human part in the crazy "mutation".Instead of this, it is better to use the remaining time to protect what you cherish.

Only a very small number of geniuses can grasp the climbing ladder in this chaos of demons dancing, and advance to a "god"-like existence.The vast majority of awakened people can only burn themselves as firewood for the continuation of human society, and eventually turn into a handful of unknown, falling ashes.

Whether such a life is meaningful, everyone has a different answer.However, the executive officers of the Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau basically keep a distance from their relatives and friends, and there are not a few who "evaporate" as Zhao Lin did back then.

Compared with the peaceful and peaceful world of ordinary people, the world of awakened people is too dangerous. If there is no one to guide them, the life of new awakened people will be very sad...

Zhao Lin's eyes darkened.

Clang.Suddenly there was the sound of the door lock being picked.

The door was gently pushed open, and one, two, three heads came out of the crack.

Zhaolin: "..."

"Boss—" Song Zan dragged his voice, and shouted furtively, "We're here—"

Zhao Lin couldn't help but sighed: "Come in."

The door opened wide, and Song Zan, Domingo and Garcia walked in calmly.

"Boss, so even you are locked up." Song Zan frowned, "It seems that the four of us have been restricted from moving."

"How did you guys get out?" Zhao Lin asked.

"Isn't it strange that we can't get out?" Song Zan said naturally, "We are awakened ones, we can tear down this door with bare hands... well, it's actually thanks to Garcia, he picked the lock and took us They were all released."

Garcia smiled at everyone: "It's just a little trick."

"We got together to discuss the next course of action." Domingo pressed his hat, "I don't know why, the people in this castle seem to plan to put us under house arrest."

Zhao Lin thought to himself, he probably knew why.

Because Si Qingxuan thought they were in the way.

"Let's stay put for now." Zhaolin straightened his neckline with his fingers, "I want...to wait for someone and talk to him."

"Who are you waiting for? Is there anyone in this illusion that we can talk to?" Song Zan asked subconsciously, then froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, and said incredulously, "Could it be waiting——"

At this moment, light footsteps came from outside the door.

Everyone looked shocked, and asked Garcia: "Didn't you already give hints to the nearby servants? Why are there still people here?"

Garcia's ability is a spiritual suggestion, mainly to affect the perception of certain things by people around him.He gave a hint on the door where they were held—"This door is very strong, and the people locked inside cannot come out, so there is no need to guard it nearby"—then the servants around should do what to do. No one pays attention to their movements.

Garcia said: "I have already given a hint, and there is nothing wrong."

Their nerves were tense.

A few seconds later, a familiar figure walked in.

The visitor was wearing a loose white shirt with a lace and pleated collar like snow-colored waves.The boy's tall but slender frame propped up the delicate and somewhat cumbersome clothes, his snow-white wrists were covered by the ruffled cuffs, leaving only his slender white fingers exposed.He reached out and stroked his hair, and even the scattered hair had a kind of elegant and free and easy beauty.

All in all, this is the appearance of an aristocratic boy who seems to have stepped out of a painting, who should be accompanied by roses and silk.

It was the Master Morandon that the awakened ones were familiar with.There was a wanton, lazy smile on his face.

"It's very lively here." Master Morandon said with a half-smile, "It seems that I need to warn my servants to put an extra lock on everyone's door."

Awakened: "..."

Soon, they realized something was wrong.

The time in the illusion has been reset, and the housekeeper, maid Lucia and others no longer recognize them.

Why did Master Morandon act as if he was quite familiar with them?

Judging by his tone and demeanor, he clearly remembered them too!

Why... why is he the only one who is special?

"Lock us all up, did you give the order, Master Morandon?" Garcia was the first to react, and asked boldly.

The other party only glanced at him, and replied: "It's me, so what?"

"You—" Garcia was about to ask something, but Domingo stopped him with a heavy face: "Wait."

Domingo turned his gaze to Zhao Lin: "Is he the one you said you were waiting for?"

Master Morandon said nothing.Zhao Lin nodded slowly.

"That's good. Let's go out first, and I'll leave this place to you." Song Zan pulled the other two awakened people and walked out the door. Talk! Let's go back to our rooms!"

With a clang, the door was shut.

"Your teammates are very lively." The luxuriously dressed young master smiled at Zhao Lin, "It seems that you have lived a fulfilling life in the past few years."

Zhao Lin remained silent, staring at the person in front of him for a few seconds, then raised his hand, as if wanting to touch the person's face——

There was a sharp scream, and a black bird flew out from nowhere, and landed on the opponent's shoulder, staring at Zhao Lin with a fierce look, as if it would dare to bite Zhao Lin's finger if he dared to stretch his hand a little further. down.

Zhao Lin's hand paused, and he took it back.

"Can you talk to me with your own appearance?" Zhaolin whispered, his voice as cold and misty as the night, "... Qingxuan."

"You still dare to call me by my name." The young man in front of him—that is, Si Qingxuan, sighed softly, "But I don't want to see you again."

Zhao Lin's fingertips trembled slightly, and then he clenched his hands tightly.

"To be honest, I'm still angry." Si Qingxuan turned his head to look at the bird on his shoulder, "This bird's name is Ghost Crying Thrush. It's ugly, and I used to despise it."

Ghost Crying Thrush: "..." It seemed to understand, and pecked at Si Qingxuan's hair in a somewhat sad manner.

"But I see you now." Si Qingxuan raised his head and looked directly at Zhaolin, "Suddenly I think this bird is really cute."

"Take care."

"I want it to peck your eyes out and slit your chest right now."

Si Qingxuan's eyes were like a knife falling on Zhao Lin's chest, cold and piercing.

Without fear, or in a calm manner, Zhao Lin felt that he would be willing to do anything Si Qingxuan did to him, and said:

"I'm very sorry."

For a moment, the surrounding air froze.

Si Qingxuan didn't move, but the weeping thrush on his shoulder trembled slightly, covered his head with its wings—it seemed that it couldn't stand the anger of its master.

"That's it?" Si Qingxuan couldn't hear any ups and downs in his tone, "Is that just an apology?"

Yes.

In fact, when Si Qingxuan saw Zhaolin in the illusion, he had already vaguely guessed the reason why Zhaolinhui disappeared from the world.

Because Zhaolin became a damn "awakened person", and even joined the disaster prevention and control bureau for the sake of righteousness.

He would draw a clear line with himself to protect him, and also because from the moment Zhao Ling became an awakened person, they were people from two worlds.

But... what is love?

Is it a cheap product that can easily deteriorate due to changes in status and status, or is it a comfort product that can be thrown away without hesitation and is just used to adjust life?

Si Qingxuan once thought that he and Zhaolin were an indispensable part of each other's lives.

But now it seems that he is the only one who thinks so.

It is true that Zhao Lin has his own reasons for doing this - but Si Qingxuan will never admit these reasons.

You can't blame your lover's poor luck, you can only blame yourself for being affectionate.This is the saddest point.

After so many days, Si Qingxuan had already figured it out.

It's just... when faced with confrontation, he still can't help complaining and being wronged.

"Forget it." Si Qingxuan looked away, feeling sour in his heart, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "We won't talk about this from now on—and you don't call me by my name anymore."

"You are no longer worthy."

Si Qingxuan threw out a few words coldly, and Zhao Lin's expression became more and more ugly.

"Let's talk about your situation." Zhao Lin took a breath, tried to control himself, and said, "When did you become an awakened person? After we go out, people from the Prevention and Control Bureau may come to file a report."

"What awakener?" Si Qingxuan glanced at Zhaolin, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, so beautiful that he was a little scary, "My name is Morlandon, and I am the owner of this castle. I have never heard of any awakener."

Zhaolin knew that Si Qingxuan didn't want to get involved with him in reality, but life after becoming an awakened person is not that simple, so he could only choose to persuade: "Don't—"

"Next, let's just talk about business." Si Qingxuan looked serious, with a hint of hostility in his eyes, "You have been tossing around here for too long. Let me give you a clue, the person who first performed the summoning ceremony in the castle was Li Cardo Morandon. The steward is preparing for the second summoning. However, the abnormality in the castle now is a problem left over from the first summoning—the crux lies in Ricardo. He passed the sacrifice, from his I got power from my God, but that power got out of control."

"To solve it, we must find out where Ricardo is. It is certain that he is near this castle right now."

"I will give you four hours to find Ricardo Morandon and break this time loop." He said with a smile, "Otherwise, I will take the advice of the steward and offer you as sacrifices to that The so-called 'God'... Anyway, it will definitely show up in the sacrificial ceremony. I will kill it at that time. Completely smash this illusion."

The power of the Ouroboros is the root of the illusion.

Kill the Ouroboros, and it's all over.

"Countdown - starts now."

"I hope you...don't let me down."
