Chapter 6 Secret
Chapter 6 Secret
After "digesting" Wang Wei, the human-faced demon immediately rushed towards Su Jue.
As Su Jue retreated, he snapped his fingers, and immediately the sounds of two spells shattering rang out simultaneously.
"Hmm?" Just before the spell was cast, Su Jue saw someone hiding behind a large tree.
The next moment, five mirrors appeared around the human-faced demon, each mirror showing a Su Jue drawing a formula.
"Domestic dogs are a bit weaker in combat than wild ones," Su Jue complained, as more mirrors appeared next to the human-faced demon.
It turns out that what Su Jue drew in the mirror was not Su Jue's original "fire", but a "mirror".
The human-faced demon was bewildered by the mirrors surrounding it, constantly looking around, its intelligence seemingly preventing it from understanding the phenomenon before it.
Soon, when the number of mirrors reached more than twenty, all the patterns drawn by Su Jue turned red.
"Snap"
A huge explosion resounded through the silent night sky, and the resulting flames brought a moment of light to the dark villa area.
This fighting style was also a spur-of-the-moment decision. Su Huai had told Su Jue that his original source was already very large, and after copying Liu Xue's technique, his source doubled. Otherwise, this reckless way of using techniques would have quickly depleted his body.
Just as Su Jue was about to check if the person hiding behind the tree had left anything, it belatedly dawned on her: "This... counts as a... gas... explosion?"
Sure enough, he soon heard someone approaching the area, and he immediately ran in the opposite direction, glancing at the tree before leaving.
He always felt that his abilities were inconvenient for doing things, as they were too disruptive, but he also couldn't quietly resolve slightly larger problems.
"Where are you rushing off to?" Just as Su Jue was about to get home, a voice called out to him.
Su Jue was certain that this was the person who had been watching him earlier, but he was stunned when the person came out.
It turned out to be Wang Wei, who had just died.
"The Thousand Faces Cult?" Su Jue took a half step back and ignited a flame in his hand.
"Haha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm here to make a deal with you, a deal, understand?" "Wang Wei" raised his hands and took a few steps closer to Su Jue.
His face kept changing, Fang Qi, Pei Min, Su Jue, and himself, before turning back into Wang Wei after a round of transformations.
"What kind of deal can I make with you?" Su Jue took a few steps back again, always maintaining a distance from "Wang Wei" that allowed him to attack or retreat at any time.
"I'll tell you a secret about the god of the Thousand Faces Cult." Wang Wei took out a gold chip worth one hundred and placed it in his hand.
Then, he took out another silver chip worth fifty and piled it on top of the original chip: "Tell me, why can you use two different techniques? Is it worth it?"
Su Jue frowned, the flames on her hands burning even brighter: "How do I know if the information you gave me is true?"
"Haha, you really don't believe me. Let me think of a way to make you believe me." Wang Wei stroked his chin. "Oh! Well, do you know why the human-faced demon keeps bothering you?"
"Speak. I'll judge for myself whether it's true or false." At this moment, the fire in Su Jue's hand had turned blue.
"This time, it's because of me."
"I deliberately released this human-faced demon to silence Wang Wei, firstly because I wanted to make this deal with you, and secondly because I didn't like him."
"In the end, it was because he leaked the information of the Thousand Faces Cult to the Puppet Gang for money." Wang Wei stepped forward, but seeing that Su Jue was retreating, he simply stopped moving forward, squatted down, and played with the ants on the ground with his fingers.
"As for what happened at the cemetery, I don't know the specific reasons, but you were targeted by the god worshipped by the Thousand Faces Cult, whose name is 'All Beings'."
After quickly uttering the last three words, "Wang Wei," it was as if something was invisibly harming him. Blood began to flow from his entire body, and the flesh on his hands and face would rot and then return to normal.
While Su Jue was still wondering how the other party knew about the cemetery, she saw a scene in front of her that was more unbelievable than anything else.
"Hahaha, as expected! You really are not involved in the karma of the gods! Hahahaha!" "Wang Wei" began to hold his head and laugh maniacally, his eyes filled with red blood vessels.
At the same time, a series of strange sounds appeared, like the murmurs of different people mixed together.
His eyes were almost about to explode. Su Jue looked closely and saw that what was flowing from "Wang Wei" was not blood, but countless tiny faces that were seeping blood. Each face was wailing and repeatedly chanting the three words "faces of all living beings," constantly stimulating "Wang Wei's" spirit.
"Hahahaha! You wait! I'll kill you one day... Hahahaha!" Wang Wei laughed wildly while pointing to the sky and cursing.
Su Jue looked up and saw that, at some point, an eye made of clusters of dark clouds had appeared in the night sky, which should have been pitch black. It was staring intently at the ground, whether at Su Jue or "Wang Wei" was unclear.
Wang Wei's face began to change constantly, sometimes appearing as a man, sometimes as a woman, sometimes as an old man, and sometimes as a child.
This situation lasted for more than five minutes before it stopped. By then, "Wang Wei" was exhausted and half-dead. Blood was seeping from his entire body, and his lips were deathly white.
"Now...do you believe me? But I won't listen to you this time, in case it's something terrible and I'm done for. Next time, next time you have to tell me your secret." "Wang Wei" stood up shakily and staggered away into the distance: "And say hello to Su Huai for me."
Su Jue could still hear him muttering something to himself.
"Crazy, but judging from his reaction, at least the name is real." At this moment, Su Jue felt a pain in the back of his neck again. This time, he didn't touch it, but instead looked up directly: "So last time you were watching me? The world is a stage for all sorts of people..."
On her way home, Su Jue sent a message to Fang Qi and, upon receiving confirmation that he was alright, began to recall the events of the past few days.
Why can he copy other people's spells? Why didn't he react when he heard the sorcerer's three words and the name of a god? And what about the fake Wang Wei saying he's uninvolved in the karma of gods...?
He said he knows Su Huai? Perhaps we could ask him.
"Kill the gods..." Su Jue was so lost in thought that he bumped into the door.
The door opened immediately, and Su Huai came out: "Hey, Shuangyu, did you make that noise? Come in."
……
"You mean... you know the name of the Thousand-Faced Cult's deity, and the person who told you this knows me?" After listening to Su Jue's explanation, Su Huai thought about it carefully.
"Gods..." Su Huai gripped the teacup tightly.
"I know who it is. It seems like something he'd do. He's one of the few friends I have." Su Huai smiled. "You can trust him. He won't lie. He's just a bit of a gambler."
"Thinking about your parents? Relax, we'll investigate together, we'll get results. Also, I suggest you don't think about that name unless it's important. Although you won't be directly affected by it, what if it gets angry?" Su Huai squinted at the huge eye outside the window.
It's very quiet tonight.
……
"Holy crap! An explosion? Did Su Jue manage to finish the mission?" In a small alley, Fang Qi had just finished replying to Su Jue's message when he saw the news on his phone.
He was still a little confused because he was lost.
Just as Fang Qi was puzzled, a whooshing sound reached his ears, followed by an arrow flying towards him.
He crouched down in fear, covering his head, and miraculously dodged the arrow.
"Could it be... I'm a master?" Fang Qi looked at the arrow stuck in the wall behind him, and in a fit of anger, pulled it out: "Damn it! Who shot me? What if they hit me?!"
"Master... I've come to take you back." An old man who looked like he was about to die emerged from the darkness. His eyes were empty, but he kept staring at Fang Qi.
"Is this some kind of new master-servant play? I can't play with you, grandpa. Can't you find a younger... girl? The prettier the better!" Fang Qi took two steps back.
"No, I came here to find you, our master." The old man took two steps forward, his body seemingly about to fall apart at any moment.
"I know! Play rehearsal! Or street prank? Am I the boss of your secret organization from a past life? Where's the camera? Let me see! Hahahaha." Fang Qi laughed, hands on his hips. Seeing no reaction from the other party, he immediately ran out of the alley: "No way, Grandpa! Find someone else! I can't do this! Come back to me when you find a beautiful girl!"
"You will come. The person you are now is not you at all..." the old man whispered, then collapsed to the ground.
If Fang Qi had looked closely just now, he would have noticed that the old man in front of him...
They've been dead for a long time.
