This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 666 Strange Incident 3
The Three Courts of the East is a mysterious and prosperous existence to anyone.There are works of art and writers sought after all over the world, as well as rich mineral resources.It can be said that every knowledgeable person will dream of entering the Three Courts of the East and exploring this mysterious and ancient land of the East.

The same is true for the human family.

Wealth is the endorsement of human family.As a border city, Tianshui has never been a major food-producing city. It can even be said that in order to build barrier nodes, Tianshui gave up about half of its cultivated land to build barriers.However, it is such a city-state similar to a fortress, which can support tens of thousands of people who have been added out of thin air.

However, that doesn't mean everything is safe and sound.

The reason why Tianshui City has been able to survive until now is also because of its significance as a fortress.After all, if one day the barrier collapses and the entropy spirit invades, Tianshui City and Shangjing will inevitably bear the brunt of the siege.Therefore, Shangjing and Tianshui have a lot of food reserves and material reserves, enough for them to survive for several years under siege.However, according to the calculations of the planners in the City Lord's Mansion, the food will not last for many days.

"The phantom's life is just a flash in the pan..."

In the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Qi was sitting on a wooden chair, holding two shiny walnuts in his hand.This is one of his few hobbies. To outsiders, sitting on a rocking chair with a plate of walnuts is an ordinary behavior, but to Jiang Qi, this is the most relaxing moment of his day, and it is also the place where he likes to think wildly. time.

As a city lord, Jiang Qi usually looks calm in front of everyone, and his sharpness that cannot be changed at all cannot be covered up.This is not a teenager's madness, but a disease left over from a lifetime of fighting on the battlefield.For Jiang Qi, his nerves are tense even when he sleeps.A doctor once asserted that if he continued, he would surely die of heart failure at thirty.

Jiang Qi is now 27.In order to allow Jiang Qi to recuperate in peace of mind, the head of the court, Soul Soul, once suspended his official position and gave him two silver coins to let him go sightseeing.But this only made Jiang Qi more unhappy, and Yu Qilin became a sick unicorn. In addition, Tianshui people always like this young man who is cold-faced and can stand teasing, so he was reinstated soon after and continued to serve as Tianshui City the castellan.

Is it heart failure...

Touching his chest, Jiang Qi's eyes flashed a gloomy look.What he didn't tell others was that a year ago, his heart, which was always suffering from palpitations and labor pains, had recovered a lot, and even said it had been cured.And the reason for the recovery is that Jiang Cai who appeared out of thin air.He still remembers that since he got this younger sister, the original gray days have added a lot of brilliance that he has never seen before. The word "beautiful" is finally not an illusory existence in the mouth of the storyteller, but something that is truly grasped in his hands .

However, Jiang Qi also understands that the phantom is not a human after all, and he is still an orphan. Those good memories with Jiang Cai are all false, and Jiang Cai shouldn't exist.

Putting the walnut in his hand aside, Jiang Qi stretched out his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.Just when he was about to get up and leave, a girlish voice with a little vivaciousness sounded from the door.

"Brother, do you want to eat lychees?"

Looking at the girl with a small head poked out, holding a plate of lychees, Jiang Qi's expression suddenly softened a lot, but soon returned to his former calm and indifference.He shook his head and said, "No need, I don't like to eat."

"No no no no, you like to eat."

Shaking her head like a rattle, Jiang Cai ran to her elder brother in a small step, put the plate aside and said with a serious face: "Aunt Wang told me that you have always liked lychee juice, people who like lychee juice You must also like lychees, if you don’t, it’s because you haven’t peeled them.”

"Dangdang~~~"

Taking off the small cage from the plate, Jiang Cai's eyes were crescent like, and she said with a smile: "So I peeled the lychees for you."

Jiang Qi looked at those perfectly cut and moist lychees, and was a little stunned for a while.He subconsciously wanted to say something, a tangle flashed in his eyes, then he gritted his teeth and said sternly: "You can eat it, I don't have an appetite after noon."

"Brother, you are worried about me."

Putting down the plate in her hand, the girl put away her original eccentricity and replaced it with a calm smile. She looked at the surprised man and said softly: "Every time you lie, you subconsciously press your lips. You're worried about me, right?"

"I···"

Jiang Qi didn't know what to say for a moment, he suddenly found that the girl in front of him knew him far better than he imagined.She knows her personality and her preferences, and she can even firmly remember some subtle details that are difficult for her to notice.

"That's all you have, it's so distressing."

Jiang Cai sighed softly, and slowly sat on the reclining chair beside her.Looking at the wooden ceiling, he said softly: "Brother, everyone says you are a jade unicorn, with an indifferent personality and the ability to distinguish good from evil, but you are not a cold sculpture made of jade, you are a living person. You always like to express your thoughts In my heart, I always want to do everything well by myself, but this will be very tiring."

Stretching out her hand, the slender and tender fingers revealed a faint pink, the girl closed her eyes, felt Jiang Qi's breathing, her voice softened a lot, "Brother, I am very happy, even if I am false, you still love me Look at me, even if my identity is exposed, you still treat me as your own sister. I am already very content, very content..."

"Jiang Cai, you..."

Jiang Qi opened his mouth, but now he was unable to say what he wanted to say when he was so eloquent, only a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"From the first day I realized my identity, I knew that sooner or later I would leave."

Gently twisting a crystal clear lychee into her mouth, Jiang Cai felt the sweetness in her mouth and could not help showing a happy smile, "False is always false, I accept my fate, just like people accept birth, old age, sickness and death. Same. Brother, don’t worry about me, I’m ready.”

"What are you going to prepare?"

Jiang Qi frowned and snapped: "Don't talk nonsense, if you have a headache, go back to the house and rest, no matter what you say, you are still a subject of the human court, and I can't let you go."

"You see, if you were someone else, they wouldn't understand what you meant, and you would only think that you were sad because of a routine. In the end, you are the one who is sad."

Jiang Cai smiled, her voice was calm, and her expression was calm, "Brother, sometimes, speaking the truth is good for you and others. You will be happy, and the other party will be happy too. If you hold it in for too long, it will be very uncomfortable. "

"Jiang Cai, you!"

Jiang Qi frowned tightly, his handsome face was obviously full of anger, but it gave off a sense of sadness.Jiang Cai didn't say much, she stood up, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Jiang Qi's brow.She looked at each other and said word by word:

"Fearless."

"Brother, you taught me these three words. It's not the past, but the present."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi was stunned, he understood what Jiang Cai meant.The "childhood memories" of him and Jiang Cai are all false, only the two years he spent with her is real.Jiang Cai was telling him that what she wanted was to leave quietly in this last truth.

"I see."

Putting down his hands, Jiang Qi closed his eyes and repeated it softly.

I see.

******************
"No, isn't it good for us to do this?"

Zhou Li, who was squatting under the window, rubbed his temples, looked at Atalona at the side, and said, "You, the goddess of life, can do such things as eavesdropping, right?"

"if not?"

While maintaining the life barrier, Atalona said in a calm tone: "Who was the first to squat here?"

"It wasn't me in the first place."

The culprit, Zhou Li, directly ruled out his suspicions, then he sighed and said helplessly, "Then I can't help it, Jiang Qi has a lot of things on his mind and he doesn't say anything, I'm afraid he will do something stupid, otherwise... "

Don't look at Jiang Qi's unreasonably calm face when facing Jiang Cai yesterday, but Zhou Li, Atalona, ​​and Elma all saw his stubborn face.It's not that Zhou Li said, it's not even Tsundere or even Ain that can be considered as such, pure and stunned.If it weren't for Jiang Cai's good personality and even being somewhat similar to Elma, Zhou Li wondered if Jiang Qi would have been smothered to death by now.

"This Jiang Cai is also a strange woman."

Zhou Li sighed, and said with some emotion: "Knowing my identity as a phantom, I am not angry or self-pitying, accept everything calmly, and even persuade my brother to accept it. This girl, what a pity."

Atalona on the side also nodded in agreement when she heard the words, nothing else, mainly because this girl is so likable.Whether it's character or the pride that is not annoying in the bones, people don't care about the identity of the phantom of the other party.

"It can't be saved..."

Atalona shook her head and sighed: "The phantom's body does not belong to my authority, so I can't make any changes to her body. In fact, phantoms are just piles of bubbles. Sooner or later Got punctured."

"trouble."

Zhou Li said these two words succinctly, and then said helplessly: "The question now is how did these phantoms get in. If we can know how they got in, maybe we can take advantage of them before they die. Rescue them before that. But now..."

"I have a doubt."

Atalona stood up, the long green dress was graceful and luxurious, and at the same time full of vitality, "Is there a possibility that something we have been ignoring is the key point?"

"You mean..."

Zhou Li frowned, as if thinking of something, "Entropy spirit?"

"Yes."

Walking out of the yard with Zhou Li, Atalona looked at the streets outside the mansion, and said slowly: "Do you still remember how they described the entropy spirit attacking people?"

Hearing this, Zhou Li began to recall Entropy Ling.

Entropy spirit kills in a very special way, he will not use particularly violent means to crush the other party, if a person from the three courts of the East is touched by entropy spirit, then his body will gradually collapse inward, that is, the outside The body rots first, and then all the organs in the body begin to degenerate.In the end, these people would often turn into a puddle of flesh and disintegrate into countless fine powders.

The frightening thing is that the killing process of entropy spirits is painless. They don't know the lack of organs in their bodies, and they don't feel pain.They will slowly dissipate silently, and finally die in a strange way.

"Silently dissipates, disintegrates, degenerates..."

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment. He raised his head, looked at Atalona in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, it collapses, then rots, degenerates, and finally collapses. This is the process of entropy spirits attacking people."

"Another way of saying it?"

Seeing that Zhou Li had sensed what she meant, Atalona nodded and continued: "At first it was reconstruction, then peeling, evolution, and finally..."

"Become a phantom."

Zhou Li was stunned, and when this conjecture was put forward, everything suddenly became clear.But he soon had another question, "But their bodies have been disintegrated, and now they..."

As soon as he said this sentence, Zhou Li was stunned.He saw Atalona's meaningful eyes, and a somewhat weird but chilling conjecture emerged in his mind.

Yes, the bodies of those who were killed by the entropy spirit were indeed destroyed, but their souls were preserved.

The source of the flesh?
"Disappearance..."

Zhou Li and Atalona expressed their conjectures at the same time.

"No."

Shaking his head, Zhou Li said decisively: "This matter must not be made public, we must investigate it ourselves."

Yes, keep quiet.Entropy is to Human Court just like Jinggui is to Tariq. It is an untouchable slide. Once the news that the phantom is a creature created by Entropy gets out, riots will be inevitable.You must know that people of this generation have experienced the chaos of the entropy spirit, and their hatred for the entropy spirit is unforgettable and cannot be avoided.

Moreover, this is just a conjecture of Zhou Li and Atalona.Next, they had to confirm this.

"Catch Entropy?"

In the living room of the mansion, Jiang Qi was wearing a brocade robe, and the long satin around his waist was full of delicate patterns.He looked at Zhou Li in front of him, frowned and said, "Master Brave, this matter...is very dangerous. You may not know much about entropy spirits, this kind of thing is far weirder than you imagined."

"I can understand."

Nodding his head, Zhou Li calmly said: "However, I have some things that must be confirmed by capturing the entropy spirit."

Just as Jiang Qi wanted to refuse, Zhou Li spoke again.

"About phantoms."

As soon as these four words came out, Jiang Qi, who originally wanted to refuse, was stunned.After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "No, no."

Just when Zhou Li was wondering why the other party refused, Jiang Qi stood up, his expression as usual, calm and confident.

"You don't know about entropy spirits. I'm different. I've fought against them for six years. I'm more familiar with them than I am with myself."

"I will go with you."
