Double world undercurrent

Chapter 2 Chapter Two Different Worlds

Under the cold white light, the sharp edges and corners outline a deep shadow, and the black phantom robe conceals his coldness and loneliness.

He always seems to be like this, no need to speak, just stand quietly like this, two words will appear in Gu Xiaoxing's mind: heroic and straight, not angry and majestic.

"I just want to test my spiritual power... I can't bother you every time... Ming Shuo."

Gu Xiaoxing explained to Ming Shuo who was silent and standing upright in front of her, while quietly pinning his right hand behind his back.

During the fight just now, that ghost hand scratched the back of her hand, and for some reason, she didn't want him to know about it.

But Mingshuo noticed something strange, he frowned slightly, grabbed Gu Xiaoxing's wrist which was hidden behind him, held it up to his eyes, and saw two deep scratches on the back of his hand.

The sullen look in his eyes added a little more.

I saw him turn to the empty space, with a biting cold air emanating from his whole body, he raised his hands and waved his sleeves, and summoned a black miasma air domineeringly.

This miasma floated and lingered around them, and then, a round, ball-like monster with ghost hands all over its body, a translucent pale monster jumped out of Gu Xiaoxing's computer.

The monster struggled with its teeth and claws, and howled in pain. Since it came out of the computer twisted and deformed, it continued to expand and grow until it grew to a diameter of about one meter. Only a muffled sound was heard, and it fell to the ground. Trembling and twitching.

It was only then that Gu Xiaoxing discovered that there was a blood-red eye in the palm of each ghostly hand, and its narrow mouth was hidden at the top of that round "torso".

"Demon...His Royal Highness the Demon King..."

The monster's voice was hoarse and trembling.It protects all the ghost hands in front of its body, and the eyes in the hands are wide open in horror.

"At the beginning of the creation of the world, the foreign world signed a contract with the present world to live in peace without interfering with each other, but you are making troubles in the present world and accumulating dark energy. In theory...you should be punished!"

The demon king Mingshuo stared at him with authority, and said coldly.

"I...I usually hide...in the Internet, spread Internet addiction, and absorb some mortal energy. This little dark energy is not enough...to cause an imbalance in the world..."

The monster cowered in the corner and said, "Leng...His Royal Highness Leng Yi...just wanted me to catch...Princess Leng Xin...I didn't want to hurt...Ah——"

Before it finished speaking, it was torn apart by Ming Shuo, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating in the air.

Gu Xiaoxing's wrist was still lightly held in Mingshuo's other hand, and she suddenly came back to her senses, pulled it back quickly, lightly brushed the hair on her forehead, and then walked lightly to the desk, pretending to check the display screen Damaged or not, avoiding his gaze.

Ming Shuo quietly watched her every move, under the beautiful sword-shaped eyebrows, there was a soft light in the black icy eyes.

But when he recalled what happened just now, the only light disappeared from his eyes again.

"Do you know how dangerous it was just now...Xin'er?"

Blame tone.

Gu Xiaoxing closed her eyes slightly, and muttered to herself:
Alas, if I really want to be counted down by him...

She turned to Ming Shuo with some guilt, and saw that the bitter cold air on his body still had an aftertaste.

"If it wasn't for my negligence just now, that little monster should not be able to beat me."

Gu Xiaoxing rubbed his fingertips, his bright and watery eyes flickered.

Since an hour ago, she has been suppressing the monster with the only spiritual power she has.

At that time, she looked like she was rushing to write a copy, but in fact, when she was typing on the keyboard, she transmitted spiritual power to the computer through her fingertips, trapping the monster hidden in the network and eager to come out to cause trouble.

This monster is attached to the invisible network channel, trying to attack suddenly, and take Gu Xiaoxing in front of the computer to another world.

However, according to her previous agreement with Mingshuo, she should not do this.

"...Do you still remember our agreement?"

Ming Shuo leaned over, looking at her fixedly.

"How could I not remember..."

She tried to answer in a relaxed tone, but she was erratic, and the eyes that didn't dare to meet him revealed the tension in her heart.

"...Then tell me, how did we agree?"

Seeing her guilty reaction, Ming Shuo held his breath.

Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help putting her hands behind her back, and in order to be as casual as possible, her tight forearms swayed slightly with her body, she cleared her throat and said:

"Well... that is, whenever... as long as there are abnormalities in the real world... I should notify you in time... and let you deal with these things...."

"anything else?"

"Also... I should try to avoid fighting with monsters... in case... in case it triggers my spiritual awakening..."

Gu Xiaoxing suddenly felt like an elementary school student who had made a mistake and was questioned.

"...Is it necessary to be so serious..."

She muttered softly, but Ming Shuo still heard her.

I saw his eyes flashing lightly, a little moved.

"I just...can't let Leng Yi succeed..."

"... Cough... I know..."

Gu Xiaoxing sighed lightly.

Hearing what he said, she couldn't help thinking about her current situation, and all of this was related to her own life experience.

Her thoughts quickly flew from 20 years ago to two months ago...

One day more than 20 years ago, the director of an orphanage in a neighboring city picked up a baby girl by the flower bed outside the door. Not long after, a couple adopted the baby girl and raised her, named Gu Xiaoxing.

As time passed by, Gu Xiaoxing spent more than 20 years without any incident. She didn't know her life experience until two months ago:
She comes from a different world and is the former princess of the demon clan. More than 100 years ago, during the civil war among the demon clan, Gu Xiaoxing, who was also Princess Leng Xin back then, made a heroic sacrifice to end the hundreds of years of war.

Everyone in the demon clan thought that Leng Xin was dead, but who knew that she had a trace of primordial spirit remaining, wandering for a hundred years, condensing the energy of all things, and being reborn in the present world 100 years later!

But after her rebirth, all her spiritual power and memory as Princess Leng Xin were sealed away.

It wasn't until after the incident two months ago that part of her spiritual power began to awaken.

It was a moonless night, and the streets of Yangcheng were sparsely populated.Gu Xiaoxing finished washing at home and was just about to go to bed when she received a call from her best friend Jasmine; "Honey, I have good news for you, I broke up!"

"...You finally got rid of that cheating man?"

"Yeah, I even bought a spicy tongue stick to celebrate. I came out to have a late-night snack. I'll wait for you at the old place opposite your house!"

A good girlfriend has ended a bad relationship, and she must be appeased and celebrated.After Gu Xiaoxing hung up the phone, he quickly put on his coat and went out.

She passed through the flower beds of the community lightly like the wind. At this moment, a group of black shadows suddenly jumped into sight, crawling among the flowers and plants, sneaking around, gnawing on something...

Her heart skipped a beat, she stopped, stared at the shadow from a distance, and looked at it for a long time.

In the evening, the street lamps in this area were broken by a brat, and the lights were black and blind. I couldn't see what the thing looked like, but I thought it must be quite small.

It gnawed at the ground without paying attention to her.

Maybe a stray dog...

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing quickened his light steps and walked forward, throwing the black shadow behind him.

All of a sudden, there was a sound of "Aw", and a low growl came from behind, which seemed eerie to emerge from the ground, which was creepy.

Her hairs stood on end in an instant, she stopped instinctively, paused, and looked back tremblingly...

Seeing this, she was even more frightened: the black shadow stood upright like a human!Tall and mighty, with a vague outline, he opened his bloody mouth wide and bit her down in one bite!

There was no time to react, she could hardly move, thinking that it was over!Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened!
The moment the monster's fangs touched her shoulder, suddenly, she passively warmed up, emitting a faint light, like a blade armor, which made her eject the monster a few meters away unscathed!

She was stunned for a while!
... She didn't know the mystery until later.It turned out that Gu Xiaoxing, as an atheist, had spent more than 20 years in a smooth manner.

But how do you know that there are really monsters in the world, and you are attacked by them? !In her desperate situation, a small part of her hidden spiritual power suddenly awakened like a stress response.

At that time, she only felt that her mind was blank!
And the monster was also extremely surprised, puzzled for a long time, but refused to let it go, got up suddenly, and pounced on her again!
But this time, at the moment it pounced on her——

- "Boom!"

A beam of white light flew into the line of sight from the left side, galloped towards the monster, and "slammed" it, shaking it to pieces, unable to even utter a sound, and fell to the ground motionless.

Gu Xiaoxing was shocked!
She was short of breath, grabbed her chest, and forced herself to calm down. Then, suspiciously, she looked slowly along the source of the light beam, and saw a tall and handsome strange man, raising his flowing black robe sleeves, turning the monster into a wisp of light. The blue smoke dissipated into the air.

He is Ming Shuo.

Two months have passed, and Gu Xiaoxing still clearly remembers that night, when Mingshuo saw her for the first time, the pair of eyes staring at her, the gaze that shocked her.

It was the star meteor that fell into the bottom of the sea, with hidden light, cold and deep.

But when Gu Xiaoxing's face pale with fright was reflected in his breathtaking ice eyes, they were burning, filled with endless tenderness, and indescribable shock!
"Xin'er, are you still alive?!"

Unbelievable, I whispered cautiously.

"Handsome...brother...you got the wrong person...?"

Gu Xiaoxing went from shock to bewilderment.

"...you don't recognize me?"

Ming Shuo tilted his head, doubts appeared in his handsome and cold eyes.

Gu Xiaoxing shook his head blankly.

There was a moment of silence.

Gradually, Ming Shuo seemed to understand something from her reaction.

I saw that the golden light in his eyes dimmed a little bit, revealing another kind of loneliness and frustration.

He was just about to say something, when a faint blue paper crane appeared out of nowhere, lightly landed on his palm, and whispered a message to him.

His expression froze.

"Leng Yi!"

When Gu Xiaoxing heard him pronounce this name, his voice became extremely cold, wrapped in a chill.

"Who is Leng Yi?"

She couldn't understand the situation in front of her more and more.

But Mingshuo was not in a hurry to answer her, but left in a hurry while continuing to cast intriguing gazes at her.

"We'll meet again."

The moment he disappeared, he said to her very firmly.

Sure enough, since that day, Gu Xiaoxing encountered two similar attacks, but the difference is that those demons and ghosts did not intend to take her life, but deliberately took her to another world.

However, Ming Shuo, who came from the phantom, stopped him in time every time.

All this is because of Leng Yi.

"Since my brother is still in the seal, how did his followers get his instructions to capture me back?"

Thoughts wandered back to the current office, Gu Xiaoxing asked Mingshuo suspiciously.

"Your brother? If you recall what he did in the past, I'm afraid you don't want to call him that."

Mingshuo's mouth drew a cold arc.

"Is this related to my sealing him? Isn't he His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but how did he become a rebel back then? He also started a civil war for hundreds of years? Or, tell me about our past. past?"

Gu Xiaoxing looked at Mingshuo expectantly, and gently tugged on his sleeve.

Ming Shuo felt his sleeves tugging lightly, and his sharp cold eyes were rippling, but he said firmly: "Don't ask me, I know I can't tell you this..."

Gu Xiaoxing collapsed, a little frustrated.For the past two months, Ming Shuo has almost always kept her past as Princess Leng Xin secret.

About who is she?Who is Leng Yi?It took her a lot of effort to learn about these questions from Ming Shuo.

Back then, as Princess Leng Xin, she took the initiative to sacrifice the monument of divine power, and sealed her half-brother, Leng Yi, in the monument of divine power. Since then, the civil war among the demons has come to an end.

And Ming Shuo, as the new king of the Demon Race, has served for more than 100 years and established a new order in the different world.

That night two months ago, when Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual power awakened, Leng Yi, who was locked in the monument of divine power, also woke up.

The reason why those demons and ghosts, including today's ghost hand, wanted to capture Gu Xiaoxing and return to another world was to break Leng Yi's seal.

Mingshuo deduces that the degree of stability of Leng Yi's seal is exactly opposite to the degree of awakening of Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual power.

The faster Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual power awakens, the looser the seal of the monument of divine power on Leng Yi will be.

Therefore, Ming Shuo did not want Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual power to awaken!

And the memories about her past are related to spiritual power. Once all her memories are restored, the spiritual power will be fully awakened.

Therefore, Mingshuo couldn't let Gu Xiaoxing recall the past.According to him, the memory of the past can only be sealed forever.

Gu Xiaoxing saw that Mingshuo was so determined, so he didn't intend to ask any further.After all, she can understand the importance of it.Since Mingshuo did not tell her life and death, it meant that these memories might really trigger her spiritual awakening.

"Okay... I admit... I was indeed reckless this time, I just wanted to test my spiritual power..."

Gu Xiaoxing muttered, her slender and curly eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings.

Ming Shuo looked down at her:
"Xin'er... If these monsters awaken your remaining spiritual power during the fight with you, then Leng Yi will break the seal and come out... Leng Yi... must not let him return to the world."
