Chapter 512 If only We Could Meet Again
The energy of the wind burial dissipated, and the black snake also turned into dust and disappeared, leaving only a pile of flying ashes, which fell to the ground one after another, and a layer of black residue was piled up on the ground.
The shadow ball showed a head from the ground nearby, opened its huge mouth, sucked all the residue into its mouth, and began to chew.
These body tissues of the snake, even if they became dregs, contained extraordinary energy, which was a great tonic for it.
In the sky, the black smoke representing the consciousness of the snake, after losing its physical support, had become looming and was about to disappear.
Under the instinct of survival, the black smoke immediately floated towards the direction of the snake's body. As long as it could return to the body as soon as possible, this consciousness could still be preserved.
Unfortunately, if it was so easy to transfer the mind, it would not have been trapped for tens of thousands of years.
The speed of the black smoke swimming was getting slower and slower, and the black gas all over the body was also rapidly dissipating, becoming smaller and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This consciousness body preparing to escape from prison accounted for more than 90% of the total consciousness of the snake! This is not a small number. Once this part of the consciousness disappears, it will take hundreds of thousands of years to recover. The snake body will be in a state of confusion for a very long time in the future.
Black Smoke looked at the body that was still a hundred meters away unwillingly. He wanted to float over, but he had no strength. He fell to the ground and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
In a daze, it seemed to feel someone coming over, and a hand carefully lifted it up.
After a few seconds, it suddenly felt that it was thrown into a warm place. The surrounding breath made it feel very familiar, but it also had some inexplicable resistance. The disappearing thoughts on the surface of the body quickly gathered again, allowing Black Smoke to gradually recover his spirit.
When the snake's mind opened its eyes again, it was greeted by a huge human face in the sky, which was hundreds of times larger than its body. At this time, it was smiling and waving at it: "Great, Xiaoba, we don't have to separate, we can stay together forever!"
"..."
The snake was speechless. He had never been so speechless in his life.
He carefully planned to escape from prison for four thousand years, but ended up entering another cage from one cage...
Moreover, it already felt that the remaining consciousness of itself was being forcibly bound to the other person's life.
This was not good news for it, because it meant that its consciousness would be completely dependent on the existence of this person in the future.
If it wanted to survive, it had to ensure the survival of this person. This was a disguised kidnapping.
"Huh, the seal is now complete..."
The lamp god took back his hand on the night watchman's head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was very tired.
"So what is the situation now?" The night watchman scratched his head and asked.
He was pulled over by the herbalist and the lamp god without knowing it. The two quickly instructed him to do a series of incomprehensible operations, and then the consciousness of Gushe appeared in his mind.
This situation is somewhat similar to the previous connection between his consciousness and Gushe in the barrier. The difference is that now the two sides have switched positions, and Gushe has become the little thing sealed in the central barrier, and he has become the center of the world of consciousness.
"In the future, Gushe's consciousness will be hosted in your body and share life with you. If you die, its consciousness will disappear."
The lamp god explained: "Of course, even if it is just consciousness, it is Gushe's consciousness, and it still contains amazing potential, but there is no body for it to play. If you come to lend it a body, it can still play enough amazing combat power."
"Ah? Then am I not a Jinchūriki now?" The night watchman's eyes lit up.
"Jinchūriki?" The lamp god looked at him in confusion, unable to understand the meaning of this word.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask. Let me ask you another question. Can I sleep normally in the future?"
"Of course you can. Although your consciousness is still connected now, the snake has become the host. You are the master of the consciousness world and can unilaterally block its consciousness. If you still maintain the previous communication habits, it should be it that asks you to have a normal schedule in the future." The lamp god said, hesitating for a moment, and then said: "However, because it is hosted in your body, it is not your own body after all, and its consciousness will slowly dissipate over time, so you need to regularly feed it some negative emotions as energy supplement."
"Negative emotions? Feed?" The night watchman was a little confused: "How to feed it?"
"Simple, you just need to do some bad things regularly, and your emotions will be directly transmitted to it." The lamp god said indifferently.
"Ah this... Let me take the initiative to do bad things, it's too difficult for me, I am a kind clone... If you knew it would be like this, why did you find me? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to find him as a human pillar?" The night watchman pointed to the herbalist on the side.
"Do you think anyone can do it?"
The herbalist shook his head: "Even if it has no form now and can no longer "escape from prison", the mental influence on the host still exists, just like the previous fairy king. Over time, the mind will be subtly eroded by the snake, and in this regard, only you can bear it here."
"So you planned to let me be the human pillar from the beginning?" The night watchman looked at him in surprise.
Just now, he had synchronized his memory with Mu You, so he knew the plan to capture the snake. The herbalist had started planning since the beginning of this era. Obviously, he had thought of everything at that time and used the night watchman as a container after capturing the snake in the future.
"No, you are just a backup at the beginning. It depends on your performance. If you can still keep your will pure under the erosion of the snake's consciousness for four thousand years, it proves that you have the ability to be a container. Otherwise, I will look for other containers or terminate the plan in advance." The herbalist said calmly.
"You are so heartless. I treat you as my own brother, but you treat me as a chess piece?" The night watchman rushed forward and grabbed the herbalist's collar and shook it to question.
Compared with the night watchman, the herbalist's figure is like a child. At this moment, his head was shaken by him like a rattle, but he insisted on not saying a word, holding his hands in front of his chest, and maintaining a cold expression.
Mu You ignored the fight between the two clones. After the battle, he was also relieved and sat down against the mountain wall.
Now that the seal has been successfully reinforced, the snake has lost most of its consciousness. There is no need for the night watchman to stay here as a guard. With the current state of the seal, the snake will not be able to stir up any waves at least before the next season of fear.
A black fur ball emerged from the shadow beside him. It was the shadow ball.
The shadow ball swam to his hand and rubbed his palm, but it was still chewing something that had not been digested.
Mu You looked a little strange. Isn't it just a few mouthfuls of ashes? Why hasn't it been eaten for so long?
Just thinking about it, the shadow ball suddenly stopped chewing, as if it was choked, puffed up its cheeks, opened its mouth, and after a long time, spit out a scale the size of a fingertip.
The shadow ball obviously took a lot of effort to spit out this scale. After spitting it out, its body immediately collapsed beside Mu You, looking weak.
Mu You was surprised. What it swallowed were the "ashes" after the death of the snake. It was said that all the shapes of the black snake had been torn into dust by the wind. How could there be something that could be preserved in the wind burial cannon?
Mu You hurriedly picked up the scale and took a look.
This scale was undoubtedly one of the scales of the snake, but it was different from the appearance of the snake he had seen before. The snake was dark black, but this scale was transparent milky white. It was called a snake scale, but it looked more like a piece of white jade carving ornament.
At this time, the omniscient crystal also fed back the information of this thing.
[The reverse scale of the snake: one of the few reverse scales on the body of the snake, with almost infinite hardness and indestructible.
It has the ability to automatically absorb the negative emotions of the holder and store them. The stored negative emotions can be used as "emotional bombs" to kill the enemy. 】
"Reverse scale..."
Mu You was surprised. Conceptually, the reverse scale is a scale that grows backwards under the neck of a snake or dragon. Among the hundreds of thousands of scales on a dragon, only one or a few may be born. It is undoubtedly an extremely rare thing.
He didn't expect that such a small snake incarnation would actually condense a reverse scale?
No wonder this thing could be preserved intact under the wind burial cannon, this reverse scale is naturally attached with the characteristic of "indestructible".
As for the effect, it is also quite eye-catching. It can automatically absorb negative emotions and store them as a means of hurting the enemy.
When he saw this effect, Mu You immediately thought of the fairy girl.
The jealousy of the fairy girl is obviously also a kind of negative emotion. So, as long as you carry this scale, the jealous fire will be automatically absorbed as soon as it is generated. In the future, the jealous fire of the fairy girl will not only not burn blood, but also charge this thing!
Mu You immediately got up and wanted to find the fairy girl to test it.
However, when he tried to feel the location of the fairy girl, he suddenly stopped.
He couldn't sense the existence of the fairy girl at all!
There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that the contractor is dead, and the other is that the fairy girl unilaterally broke the contract with him.
But no matter which one, as long as the contract is broken, the deviation value bonus brought to him by the fairy girl will disappear, and without the suppression of the fairy girl, the influence of the chaos poison will automatically appear, so it is reasonable that his current deviation value should be increasing rapidly.
However, Mu You looked at the order in his body, but found that it was still pure white, and the deviation value remained steadily at zero, without any upward trend.
"Could it be..."
Mu You has already thought of a possibility.
The other party broke the contract unilaterally, but before breaking it, she first transferred all the chaos poison to herself...
Mu You frowned, feeling empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important.
The chaos poison is not something that everyone can bear. Mu You can barely resist it because he is the descendant of order. If other people are poisoned by this poison, they will not even have the opportunity to resist, and can only watch being swallowed.
If she really took all the chaos poison alone, then she is now...
...
Half an hour later.
Mu You and his party appeared in the desert at the entrance of the cave.
Looking around, the cities in the distance have all turned into a sea of fire.
At the same time, the sky was filled with mist and drizzle continued to fall. The rain blocked the spread of the fire. Smoke rose in many places, making the entire sky city look hazy.
Mu You looked at the dark clouds above his head, which were obviously condensed by magic, and reached out to catch a few drops of rain and put them into his mouth to taste.
After having the memory of the herbalist, Mu You easily distinguished the ingredients of the potion. The rainwater was mixed with sweet potion and forgetfulness potion.
Sweet potion is harmless to humans, but forgetfulness potion has a significant impact. Being drenched by it will make creatures forget the memories of the recent period.
Fortunately, perhaps because the area of rain was too large, the concentration of the two potions was not high, which greatly weakened the effect. If the strength was sufficient, a short period of rain would not have any effect.
The herbalist behind him had consciously taken out several umbrellas and distributed them to everyone.
"Tina hates getting wet the most..."
Tina shivered as she looked at the raindrops flying in the sky, hurriedly shook off the rain on her wings, and quickly flew under the umbrella held up by the night watchman to avoid the rain.
"It seems that Linglong did a good job. The riots in the city should be temporarily stopped." The herbalist said.
In the place where he told Linglong, in addition to preparing a large amount of sweet potion, he also prepared a batch of forgetfulness potion. Linglong obviously understood what he meant, and mixed the two potions into the rain with a weather spell, and dropped them on a large area throughout the city.
In this way, people and fairies who were drenched by the rain would soon forget everything that happened today, and those fairies who were becoming weird would temporarily return to normal under the washing of the sweet potion.
"However, the effect of the diluted sweet potion will not last too long. The problem here must be solved within five hours." The herbalist said.
Then the group began to act separately.
The others took the map fragments and went to meet Linglong, while Mu You left alone to look for the fairy girl.
He could no longer know the location of the fairy girl, but if he guessed, he could immediately think of several places.
An hour later, Mu You flew to the edge of the bitter garden.
What appeared in front of him was a large garbage dump, full of corruption and stench, and the sweet rain in the sky could not cover the smell here.
Mu You walked into the garbage dump. At this moment, among the garbage on the ground, there were pieces of flesh worms everywhere, crawling aimlessly in the garbage and filth. Each of them looked strange, but there was no black air on their bodies, and they did not show any aggressiveness.
Mu You knew that these were actually goblins that had become weird, but under the watering of the sweet potion, the weirdness was forcibly stopped, and they were slowly reversing back to goblins.
Mu You quickly scanned the worms one by one, and his eyes quickly fixed on one of them.
This worm seemed to be no different from other worms, but the blue characteristics revealed in many parts of its body still allowed Mu You to recognize it at a glance.
Mu You walked in front of the worm.
"Wow..."
Sensing Mu You approaching, the worm suddenly made a sound like a baby crying, and crawled out of the mud and garbage, crawling towards him with difficulty.
Mu You reached out and stroked the worm's head, but the worm seemed to treat its hand as food, opened its mouth and swallowed it, biting it hard, but because it had no teeth, it looked like it was just sucking.
Mu You sighed, pulled out his hand, and soothed the worm's head.
The reason why he could confirm that this was the fairy girl was that at this moment, from the perspective of order, the worm's whole body had been completely swallowed by red.
Sure enough, the fairy girl helped him bear the poison of chaos, but the price was that it had become a chaotic creature irreversibly.
The worm seemed to feel his kindness and stopped biting him. Instead, it came over and wanted to hold him in its arms.
Mu You shook his head, took out the archiver, and brought the archiver close to the worm.
Now the deviation of the fairy girl has already exceeded the upper limit, and it can no longer be repaired by the pen of order. The only way is the archiver.
When the Great Disaster was about to pass, Tina Fairy Girl and Gargamel also stored their status in the archiver in order to preserve their memories.
Now, as long as they touch the archiver, they can immediately restore all features to the state at the time of archiving, and even the current disordered deviation can be reversed.
"Wow..."
The worm didn't know what this metal short stick was. When Mu You handed it over, it subconsciously caught it and held it in its arms.
The moment it touched the metal short stick, the more than two-meter-tall worm suddenly began to shrink rapidly. In just a few seconds, it shrank into a crystal cocoon the size of a palm and fell to the ground.
Inside the cocoon, there was a curled up caterpillar, emitting a faint blue light, and a few tears were still hanging in the corners of its eyes.
Mu You hurriedly felt it, and sure enough, his contract with the fairy girl had been re-established, and the chaos poison also returned with it, but the difference was that this time, the fairy girl became the main body suffering from the chaos poison, and he became the contractor who helped the fairy girl share the deviation.
"You have protected me for four thousand years, so for the next four thousand years, it will be my turn to protect you..."
Mu You carefully picked up the crystal cocoon and washed away the dirt and dust on it with clean water.
Everything returned to the time of the archive, which meant that she no longer had the memory of the next four thousand years. When she hatched into a fairy again in the future, everything would start from scratch.
