Chapter 133: appearing on camera
"Help, don't kill me, please don't kill me-"
"Aaaahhhh there's a ghost!"
Young children cry helplessly in the fire.
"Father, Mother, I'm scared ......"
"Bao'er!!!"
Cries of despair resounded everywhere in the city of Bujiu.
Jiang Luo looked for a while, and then moved his eyes to the bottom of his feet.
Chi family The young master staggered out of the midst of the house, keeping his head up and staring at them as they came after him.
The cold wind was harsh, and sparks flew past Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo stared at Chi You, who was in hot pursuit on the ground, and watched Chi You's handsome face gradually become hideous, and watched his dark eyes color with crazy blood.
Jiang Luo just watched quietly, and Chi You stared at each other across the seemingly endless darkness of the night.
Chi You stretched out his hand, and the black mist spread from him, rushing swiftly toward the sky, but before he could reach Jiang Luo, he had already reached his limit, and could not move up any further.
The young man's arms tense to the point of trembling, and he stares at Jiang Luo with a deadly stare as he chases him across the ground, stepping over stones, over rubble, over blood and corpses.
Jiang Luo was so far away that he could only see Chi You's lips opening and closing, saying something stubbornly.
The wind did not carry his voice to Jiang Luo, but he read Chi You's lips.
"Don't Leave ......"
"Stay."
The whole world is collapsing, the lenses of the sky fall to Jiang Luo's side and then disappear. Jiang Luo was carried by the evil spirits, getting closer and closer to the black hole in the sky that broke open.
He's still looking at Chi You.
The memories in his mind flashed quickly, from the young man when he entered the bridal chamber, to the wonton stall, and then to yesterday when he stood between the people being falsely accused, and the wretchedness of the curse backfired on him.
The irritated killing intent that had just risen suddenly became complicated, and it was impossible to say what it felt like.
Chi You, the young man in the mirror, is a fake existence, but Jiang Luo occasionally feels that he is too real.
He and the evil spirit were one and the same person, and such a feeling hit Jiang Luo's mind even more thrice.
So this is what Chi You looked like as a child.
Jiang Luo doesn't like to let others know what he used to look like, what happened to him. But Chi You saw his dirt, and he saw Chi You's dirt, and they were at loggerheads, so they could stop caring.
That hypocritical and ruthless evil spirit in the book turned out to be this kind of character, this kind of look when he was a teenager he didn't really know.
It's as if the evil spirits have come to life.
Chi You chased him from the Chi family to the bloodstained streets, amidst the ghostly shadows wandering and the terrified humans fleeing for their lives, his eyes pursuing Jiang Luo as the two figures moved further and further away, Chi You's shoes stained with filth and the hems of his garments stained with blood and scorched by the flames.
His eyes ached as he watched, but he didn't move away for a second.
How can I?
How could Jiang Luo leave before he could find the cause of his inexplicable emotions in him?
The beam of the room was engulfed by the fire snake and smashed heavily in front of Chi You.
Chi You trips over a beam and is caught off guard, falling to her knees.
He froze and looked up, staring stubbornly at the figure in the air.
Who knows what is in the heart of a young man, who has never been exposed to the wind and the moon in his life, but remembers the sharp spring rain.
A wonderful extra in a boring day, vivid and bright, he both surprised and impressed Chi You, and the excitement was all over him. Wanted to know what he was doing and what he was thinking.
Who is Jiang Luo? Did he see Chi You's mess? Is his cheek warm to the touch?
In just a few days, Chi You seemed to come to life. What the air smelled like, what the flowers and plants smelled like, the black and white and gray Chi Fu became not so unbearable.
But after he had endured the excruciating pain of the curse's backlash, he was told that he turned out to be false.
Jiang Luo, on the other hand, is real.
He will leave and Chi You will remain in the mirror world forever.
Chi You thought she could keep him here.
More and more houses collapsed, Chi You is surrounded by flying hot sparks, he looked up blankly, as if a piece of his heart was vacant.
Is his hatred of the Chi family also fake?
Is the beating, the bullying, the starvation he's suffered since he was a child also a lie?
The pain of the ghost pattern's backlash, the pain from the curse, everything and anything he perceived about the world, was it all a lie?
Then why is this feeling of desolation and coldness so real when he faces Jiang Luo's departure at this time?
Chi You heard the cries around him, he turned his head to see that his father had shielded his wife and children to hide in a dead end street, and was brutally killed and skinned again by the ghosts.
He used the lives of the entire city as a sacrifice just to leave that one person behind, but he failed.
Growing up, he never seemed to succeed in what he wanted to leave behind.
Everything he's done has turned into a joke.
Chi You looks up into the sky again.
The fire was burning around him, but Chi You felt a little cold. He didn't know what he was feeling and what it meant, but as he watched Jiang Luo move farther and farther away, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and broke down.
He clenched his fists, his nails cutting into his flesh. His eyes were dry and red bloodshot, helplessness and resignation swept through the teenager's heart.
--Don't leave.
Jiang Luo is still looking at the people on the ground.
The evil spirit behind him was also watching, and neither of the two made a sound.
Jiang Luo broke the silence and said to himself, "So this is what you used to look like."
The evil spirit's eyes were downcast, the side of his face a little cold, he didn't say yes or no, but gave an answering voice that didn't make any sense.
Jiang Luo didn't care either, being so far away, his eyes were still sharp and he could see almost every expression of Chi You.
Inch by inch he had seen Chi You's demeanor, his movements, and the obscure, unknowable fluctuations of the teenagers themselves gave a hidden and lofty meaning.
Jiang Luo abruptly laughed.
His laugh was inexplicable, and his look a little odd, but his smile was reflected in the sinful light of the fire in a dangerous and declining sun, and the evil spirit looked at him sideways with searching eyes.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is," Jiang Luo muttered to himself in words the evil spirits did not understand, "so that's how it is."
The evil spirit said, "What was it?"
Jiang Luo lifted his smile, which grew higher and higher. He obviously knew something that Evil Ghost didn't already know, and Evil Ghost inexplicably cared.
"Help me take the four that came in with me as well, and I'll tell you what it is," Jiang Luo put away his smile and said pleasantly, "That shouldn't be too hard for you."
The evil spirit seemed to sigh and said mockingly, "So you are so kind."
"It will be difficult for me if all the people who accompanied me up the mountain die," Jiang Luo said faintly, "Hurry up."
The evil spirit raised his hand, and a few more fainted people swiftly flew up on the ground. Lian Bing was the most miserable, his body had been broken in half, the others looked equally pitiful, all of them were in a life and death situation.
Jiang Luo looked at them, and then finally looked down at Chi You on the ground.
Dryly, he said, "Let's go."
They flew towards the collapsed part of the sky, the cries and sounds of despair gradually moving away from Jiang Luo's ears. But when they were about to leave the Mirror World, a voice suddenly rang in Jiang Luo's ears.
The voice was indistinguishable from male or female, or age, as if it had come from a dream, with an air of vagueness and mystery.
"This is what sin looked like when it was first born."
This voice said, "Even if the people of the city had sheltered him with their words only in the daytime, when it comes to his own selfish desires, he can mercilessly use the lives of the entire city as a sacrifice to get his own ends."
"Even if an evil spirit retains its humanity, it will only create more sin."
"Only when he's dead will it all die down."
It was the man behind the curtain that dragged him into the world of mirrors.
The voice spoke slowly, calmly, but firmly. It smelled of truth and holiness, as if what "he" said was the most correct thing in the world.
Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes.
It turns out that what the people behind the scene really wanted Jiang Luo to see was this scene.
The black-robed ghost is just a pawn placed on the surface by the other side. Together with the collapse of the world and the reaction of the teenager Chi You, the person behind the scene has also been calculated, and he has guessed what Chi You will do, and may even have guessed that the evil ghost itself has infiltrated the Mirror World.
--or even Jiang Luo will let Chi You chase, it's all in his plan.
Is Teen Chi You really just a false illusion?
Chi You is as real as a real person, how can his every move and his temperament be calculated by the person behind the scene?
How familiar he should be with Chi You.
Jiang Luo was silent, he knew that the person behind the curtain had not finished his words, he was patiently waiting for the person behind the curtain to continue to speak. The more the other party said, the more information he revealed.
But the evil spirit stretched out his hand and pulled it out of thin air in the void beside Jiang Luo's ear.
Several thin filaments reflecting light appeared in his hands, the evil spirit's eyes were cold as he looked along the filaments and said grimly, "In front of me, how dare you play such small tricks?"
The filaments looked as hard as steel wire, and the Evil Ghost's palms slowly clenched as the filaments crumbled out of his palms.
In the next moment, the evil ghost hugged Jiang Luo and abruptly rushed out of the mirror world.
*
When Jiang Luo opened his eyes, he felt a pain in his jaw, and the evil spirit pressed him against the bed with a smirk, "What was it?"
The black-haired youth who just woke up and fell into a state of dominion was very calm, he calmly raised his eyebrows, Yu Guang swept over the perimeter.
Here was the bedroom, and lo and behold it was still in the log cabin villa, just wondering how many days he had slept there. Just a little surprised that the house floor charred black, ruins were piled up in the corner, cracked windows were nailed on by the wooden board mess, the craftsman's technology is extremely garbage. The previously exquisite and beautiful villa had now taken on the appearance of a slum.
The evil spirit aggravated his tone, slightly displeased, "Jiang Luo."
Jiang Luo withdrew his eyes and placed them on his body.
The evil spirit's handsome face was stoic and oppressive enough to be frightening.
Jiang Luo, however, slowly hooked up a strange smile with endless dark dangers.
He relaxed and lay back, not even caring about the position in which he was being suppressed by the other at the moment, and said with a teasing and a few unspecified tones, "Chi You, so you ......"
The evil spirit looked at him sullenly.
Jiang Luo's smile grew wider and wider as he grunted and laughed twice, like a voluptuous ghost with a highly poisonous spirit, and purposely lowered his voice to say, "So you've fallen for me."
