Double world undercurrent

In the next two days, under the supervision and execution of the major exorcists headed by Jiang Feng, the Witch Clan was divided into north and south regions, ranging from witch babies who were just three weeks old to old wizards who were one or two thousand years old. , have successively completed the inventory of possessed objects, with high efficiency and lightning speed.

However, since the spying sigil was extremely concealed, the Wu clan naturally did not detect any substantial abnormalities, nor did they catch a "living spy". However, after their large-scale investigation, the "possessed object spying operation" from other worlds was greatly hindered.

The spying sigil was originally like a "contagious virus". When the possessed person comes into contact with others, it can be copied to the contact person unknowingly, thus assisting the spies to remotely "detect" the intelligence within the Wu clan. . Unless you encounter a powerful and experienced exorcist, you may be able to notice something strange. However, even so, the talisman will not leave any clues.

In the past two days, attacks on mortals also occurred frequently, and monsters were causing trouble in different towns and villages. These monsters are almost all the remnants of the rebels who have been exiled in the modern world and have been lurking for many years. They use the sign of their resurgence. Like gophers, they appear from different places from time to time to perform tricks and absorb the essence of mortals.

The weather in Yangcheng lasted only three days, and it started to rain again. At this time, it was a gray afternoon, and a bus full of people was driving smoothly on the bridge.

The sound of rain outside the car window was particularly hypnotic. When passing by the last platform, a few middle school students in the back row were still laughing and playing actively. Now, all the men, women and children in the car started to doze off as if they were collectively sleepy.

The quiet atmosphere of this afternoon did not affect the driver, Xiao Li. He would often apply a drop of Fengyoujing on his temples to stay awake while driving.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in outside the cab, which was moist and cold, vaguely smelling of blood. Xiao Li frowned. At this moment, one or two black cars passed by at a fast speed from the left, and then scurried left and right in front of them. After passing five or six cars in a row, they suddenly stopped and stopped in the middle of the road!

"Bang! Bang! Zhi——"

The approaching vehicles had no time to get out of the way, and the series of collisions was horrific! The black car was pushed out of the bridge railing!

"Boom!!"

There was a loud noise under the twenty-meter-high bridge! The black car fell headfirst into the water!

The bus was about to hit the vehicle in front of it. The driver, Xiao Li, held the steering wheel tightly and pulled the brakes suddenly. Suddenly, "Uh"——

A hoarse voice suddenly popped into Xiao Li's mind, drowning out the exclamations in the back row, and said to him seductively: "Get out!"

rush out? Um?

The steering wheel that I was holding tightly refused to obey my command and suddenly turned right. The heavy body immediately tilted to the left and broke through the bridge railing!

The bus rushed out of the bridge and fell under the bridge! The passengers in the car staggered around, fell to the ground in various directions, and some were even pushed into the windshield! Although Xiao Li was wearing a seat belt, there was blood on his forehead.

He was horrified to find that at this time, the front of the bus was facing down, and the rear was being pulled by some force. The entire body was suspended in the air at a height of twenty meters. Below, the black car that had fallen into the river was submerged before his eyes. The bottom of the river!

The force attached to the rear of the bus pulled them back little by little. At this time, a large piece of dark algae suddenly emerged from the river and floated on the river surface in a large area. Like a magnet, it actually issued a strong suction force and pulled the bus toward the river. Suck inside.

The force at the rear of the bus seemed to be unable to withstand the suction force. The bus dropped another dozen meters and was about to fall into the river. The passengers inside could not hold on and fell to the windshield one after another. They were squeezed into a pile and the glass The ice begins to crack. Xiao Li was stuck tightly by the seat belt, and his face had turned the color of a pig's kidney. He didn't have to wait until he fell into the water, or he would suffocate to death.

The two forces were pulling at each other. At this time, a mist of light enveloped the car body. Between light and dark, it seemed as if someone had torn a gap in the space. After the world was spinning, there was only a loud "clang" sound, and the bus actually fell back down smoothly. On the bridge!

At this time, the bridge deck was filled with fog, and the visible range was less than ten meters. The surrounding area was quiet and seemed to be deserted. Continuous rain was flowing down the car windows, and the passengers in the car were in shock. Even some of the injured were slightly confused and did not dare to act rashly.

Xiao Li gasped for breath and tried to turn on the car lights. He found that all the controls were malfunctioning and even the car door could not be opened! The windows on both sides were stuck for some time, and some people couldn't even try to escape by jumping out of the windows.

There is obviously a gap in the car window, but the world outside the window seems to be on mute, with thick fog and silent drizzle.

What should I do? Weird weather, strange things...

Just when people were at a loss, suddenly, the car body shook violently, as if something jumped on the roof of the car. Then, for no reason, patches of dark algae began to grow rapidly from the roof to the bottom like an ivy, as if they were growing on the roof of the car. The breathable gaps were deliberately blocked, and a strange smell was released that made people feel suffocated and on the verge of death.

"Help, help..."

Like all the passengers in the car, Xiao Li instinctively began to call for help. Suddenly - wow! A beam of light shot out of the fog in front, and then the algae began to burn!

Although the visibility was low and no sounds outside the car could be heard inside the car, at this moment, Xiao Li actually saw a tall and graceful woman slowly walking out of the thick fog holding an umbrella. The thick fog was rising and rolling, gathering under the edge of her umbrella, and a dazzling electric light was produced. Her curvaceous figure was looming, exuding a mysterious power, which could be felt even by the naked eye. An inhuman scent.

The mist is hazy and the raindrops are falling quietly. The chin and neck that sometimes appear under the edge of her umbrella have clear and soft outlines, making people think that she may have a pretty face with even bones and flesh, and her slender legs covered by the mist cover her knees. Under the narrow skirt, the lines are tight and powerful, and the complexion is fair. Paired with bright purple high heels, she is exquisite and clean, giving her the appearance of a young white-collar worker.

This rather confusing appearance made the people in the car stunned for a moment, wondering who the other person was and whether he was kind or not. And she was able to turn the fog under the umbrella into electric fireballs without moving a word, and the "man-eating algae" thrown on the roof of the car burned up, which shocked them even more.

However, in the next second, the people in the bus seemed to have their souls collectively sucked away. They closed their eyes and fell down, lying limply like boneless puppets.

"Zizzizi..."

A slimy, muddy figure suddenly jumped out of the burning "algae", trying to escape from the burning...

"Your circuit space...can't save these people...Princess..."

It was said to the woman standing in front of the car, stretching and changing in the fire like plasticine. The passengers in the car were all as if possessed by an evil spirit. They were all stretched up again, with their feet off the ground and suspended on the roof of the car.

I saw that their hall was dark, their eyes were tightly closed, but their mouths grinned strangely, and they said in harmony:

"We have fallen into the river!!"

Silent, the woman under the umbrella seemed to have no reaction or make any statement.

Raindrops rolled down from her umbrella into the steaming mist.

"What? Are you scared? Ha!"

The muddy figure laughed in confusion and said:

"It seems that His Highness the Prince is right. The world today is a natural food court. Even Princess Leng Xin has become timid and cowardly after staying here for a long time, and she is in urgent need of slaughter!"

The "food" the other party refers to refers to those mortals, mortals with fresh souls, Gu Xiaoxing knows.

"but……"

The muddy figure broke free from the fire algae, jumped on the roof of the car crazily, spread out its "mud wings" covered with spikes, and said flatteringly:

"We would be happy to invite you to share...these delicacies with us."

The rain and fog in the circuit space are swaying.

"Tell Leng Yi that greed and unkindness will eventually be counterattacked..."

Gu Xiaoxing whispered:

"...If you can still get out of here."

In the mist, a cold arc on her lips was faintly visible.

"Oh, are you threatening me?"

The other party's eyes rolled, and although he was dissatisfied, he still looked around vigilantly.

It discovered that the fog around it had become thicker and thicker at some point, and it was hunting towards it with a dangerous aura. The air was filled with fiery elements, and even the raindrops that fell on it became boiling hot.

"Then try it. Will you be baked into ceramics by me?"

Her soft voice came from under the umbrella.

The mud shadow skillfully lowered its torso and began to flap its wings like a bat, fanning its fine spikes in all directions, creating chaos while detecting ambush.

But who knew that this would play into Gu Xiaoxing's shoes.

The loop space originally became extremely unstable due to her poor spiritual power. If the space collapses, the dying breaths of those who were forced to stay here by her will dissipate, and their true bodies will drown in the Puyi River in Yangcheng, and their essence will be taken away by the mud shadow.

Therefore, Gu Xiaoxing decided to remain calm and secretly maintain the little spiritual power he had accumulated, waiting for the other party to actively cast spells, and then absorb its mana into the rain and mist to support the operation of the circuit space.

The diffuse rain and mist suddenly formed a wall of wind, blocking her in front of her, absorbing the flying thorns and accumulating thicker and thicker.

Mu Ying suddenly discovered that after swallowing its dense thorns, the fanned rain and mist actually grew larger and larger like cotton, and the breath surrounding his body became more and more hot!

"You shouldn't..."

It shook its muddy body and gradually stopped flapping, and the drifting rain and mist also stopped.

It seemed to sense something fishy.

"Oh, I see... you are really cunning, princess."

Mu Ying shrewdly discovered that at this time, it could only break the shackles of this space by casting spells from the outside world, and then return to the real world to harvest the souls of those mortals.

Fortunately, Gu Xiao saw it decisively jump back to the roof of the car and melted into the burnt black algae. Only half of its mud body was exposed. He began to sense the "man-eating algae" on the water outside the space, trying to take advantage of the outside world. The limbs were defeated here, but it was too late.

"Crack!"

The space shook, and a large wave of blazing waves hit it, baking it fiercely. The fog in the space also completely covered it, wrapping it up and making it unable to move. Then, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the mud shadow was just like this. Fortunately, Gu Xiao was stuck in the collapsed loop space.

After the loop space shrunk to a point, it dissipated like ashes. What came into view was the scene of a tragic car accident on the Puyi River Bridge in the modern world.

Gu Xiaoxing stood on the edge of the bridge and looked at the hurriedly busy figures. Among them, there might also be some Wu tribesmen who came in disguise.

Under the bridge, the rescue team has not arrived yet, but the driver and passengers of the bus that crashed into the river have returned to the shore safely. They were sitting paralyzed, confused, and had lost all memories of when they fell into the river.

They didn't know how they ended up here wet, nor did they know that they had just saved their lives.

However, the driver of the black car who fell into the river due to a series of car accidents caused by the attacks of monsters, and the people who died in the car accident, were not so lucky. Their essences were taken away by Leng Yi's followers.

This was originally an ordinary lunch break. Gu Xiaoxing's company, Shengyang Urban Investment Group, was preparing for a large-scale "post-disaster reconstruction" activity based on the losses caused by "typhoons and riots" some time ago, including "marketing and The theme party for the purpose of "maintenance" needs to be widely advertised. Coincidentally, the radio station arranged for Jasmine to bring two newcomers over to check out the location.

She and Gu Xiaoxing made an appointment to meet downstairs in the company during their lunch break. However, when Gu Xiaoxing finished revising the plan and was about to go downstairs for the appointment, a picture with a forbidden weapon symbol exploded into her mind for no reason. Just like the night of the massacre.

In the picture, she saw a black car running rampant on a nearby bridge, with the "long neck and thin waist, trumpet-shaped upper and lower" forbidden symbol standing on the roof of the car. She knew that those monsters were causing trouble in the real world again.

In fact, she could not sense it every time this forbidden symbol appeared. This ability seemed random and uncontrollable to her, perhaps related to her spiritual state at the time and the distance between the symbols.

She hated this uncontrollable passive feeling, and even more disgusted with this intrusive way of perception. But when she "saw" the disaster happening on the Puyi River Bridge, she rushed here without hesitation.

When her phantom came here, the black bus had already crashed into the river. She saw the mud shadow clinging to the front of the bus, tempting the driver to fall into the river. She used her newly awakened spiritual power to stop all this. However, during the stalemate with the opponent, her spiritual power was still strong and weak, and her performance was not smooth. It was as if the spiritual power had a mind of its own, and when mobilized, it was difficult to consistently align with her will.

When she was in the other world, she had already consulted a magic doctor and a spiritual master. Excluding the interference of the magical suppression in the divine essence, the reason why her newly awakened spiritual power was not being used smoothly may be related to some kind of potential when she cast spells. related to psychological factors. "Princess, those two people over there are looking at you. They are exorcists."

A female officer beside her said to her, gesturing for her to look to the other side. This female official was one of the "trustworthy" summoners carefully selected for her by Ming Shuo.

When Gu Xiaoxing was dealing with the mud shadow in the loop space, he asked her to disguise herself as a reporter and mix in the crowd, taking care of her inside and outside.

"Those 'rebels' were lying under the bridge to steal the souls of mortals. As soon as they saw the exorcist coming, they slipped into the water and ran away. Their goal was clear and they had no intention of fighting."

The female officer spoke with the mentality of a bystander, with a dull look in her thin eyebrows and eyes. Her duty was to protect Gu Xiaoxing's safety. As for the disaster itself, such as who lost their souls and lives because of it, she was not concerned about it.

Gu Xiaoxing doesn't expect that demons from other worlds can empathize with mortals in this world, as long as they don't eat people. But for those Wu clan members who claimed to be the "guardians" of mortals, their late arrival made her feel inexplicably unhappy.

She also sensed the complicated thoughts in the eyes of the two exorcists looking at her. It was as if there was something hidden under that unblinking gaze. He was clearly in high spirits, but under some pressure, he had to restrain himself and hold back. He could only look at her deeply and depressingly.

They probably also guessed that she would no longer be exposed to their sight alone, and due to the "strong warning" from the other world, they now did not dare to blatantly do anything inappropriate to her and destroy the "strong warning" between the two worlds. friendship".

This group of witch tribesmen are always trying to trick her. They don't know what kind of treasure she has here.

Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but think of the day when the masked exorcist "hijacked" her into the dense forest and "wanted to do evil" to her. The man was also strange and strange. While he was attacking her harshly, he seemed to... It's really baffling.

It's ironic that they only dare to do things that they think are aboveboard and upright.

Gu Xiaoxing raised the corners of his lips and smiled with a bit of disdain, but even the sweet pear dimples were pretending to be huge, without revealing the curse in his heart at all.

She deliberately looked back at the other party uncharacteristically. The other party seemed surprised. After being stunned for a moment, he looked back with a bit of embarrassment.

The two exorcists turned back to the chaotic crowd, mingling among them, cleaning up the supernatural traces on the bridge and erasing the memories that mortals "shouldn't have". While they were cleaning up the "mess" here, they also paid attention to whether there was any residual atmosphere of "rebels" to see if they could use this to trace the past.

Although they knew that Gu Xiaoxing had just rushed ahead of them and got rid of a monster, they seemed to have no intention of asking her due to concerns about their identity or still distrusting her.

Gu Xiaoxing didn't intend to waste time here, let alone rush to help these guys, but she looked at the people who were attacked by monsters, injured and killed, but they were still kept in the dark, thinking that it was just a series of car accidents. , she shook her head helplessly, made a seal with her fingertips, pulled out a trace of muddy air from the umbrella handle, and asked the female officer to continue:

"After I leave, you can raise it to a prominent position to attract the attention of the two exorcists."

"Okay, princess..."

"Also, Yaya..."

Gu Xiaoxing called the female officer's name, summoned the blindfold and prepared to leave:

"In this world, don't call me 'princess' in a place like this where people come and go. It sounds... too middle-class."

"Oh, that……"

"Just call me Gu Xiaoxing...".

A gust of wind swept away her figure.

A few minutes later, the two exorcists were on the edge of the bridge and noticed the turbid air of a mud shadow floating in the sky above the huge forbidden weapon symbol...

The drizzle in Yangcheng finally stopped, and the gloomy sky reflected on the stagnant water on the ground, making the street windows under the office building also gray. In the cafe opposite the window, there is a strong aroma of coffee and slightly sweet snacks, making this short lunch break more relaxing.

"There is a secret manor there?! Can you move freely on land, sea and air?"

Excited voices echoed in the private room.

"Keep your voice down, honey..."

"Oh……"

In the private room, Jasmine opened her eyes in disbelief and covered her mouth, lowering her voice and continuing:

"I didn't expect that he would buy something for you... I didn't expect... that you... you would just refuse like that?!"

"Hmm...yes."

Gu Xiaoxing held her cheek with her hand, absentmindedly stirring the latte art on the coffee.

Jasmine seemed extremely regretful, as if she had just missed an opportunity to enjoy a blessing (crossed out) and "open her eyes". She looked at her best friend in front of her with the caring eyes she looked at her silly sisters:

"Why do you refuse? Xiaoyuki?! Isn't it better to live there than in Dongye Community? Even if you don't want to move there, you don't have to... refuse so quickly."

"Well...I just feel...not comfortable with it."

"Not used to it? What's wrong with it? Is the Magic Manor too big and too empty?"

Jasmine's shining eyes were full of reverie. She was so envious that she almost threw out the words "Versailles".

"...It's big...it's quite big...but what's the saying? 'No matter how big other people's roofs are, it's not as good as having an umbrella in your own hand'..."

Gu Xiaoxing inadvertently glanced at the folding umbrella put aside.

"Others? If the Demon King hears what you said, I wonder what he will think."

"I'm just making an analogy...I just feel so...passive, as if everything has been arranged. I know that given my current situation, his arrangements are reasonable. But so much has happened during this time. Things, those memories are really too strong for me. This "rich wealth" is hitting me one after another, and I still can't bear it. I... don't like this feeling."

Her eyes flickered, causing her pink face to show embarrassment.

Jasmine looked at her, her dark brown flat eyebrows slightly raised, and asked in her soul:

"Do you like him?"

"Happy...of course I'm happy..."

Gu Xiaoxing's red face suddenly showed a trace of hesitation, and then he said softly:

"I guess you like it."

"Isn't it done? The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Why are you thinking about all this? To be honest, Xiaoxing, with your current situation, if it weren't for the Demon King supporting you, I wouldn't dare to think about it..."

"I know all this, so I can't take it for granted and be a clinging dodder flower! Besides, he is the devil now, and my identity... is a bit embarrassing..."

"What is there to be embarrassed about? You are a princess from another world, and you are engaged to the Demon King. As long as he still recognizes you, he will do these things for you justifiably. What do you have to worry about?"

Jasmine didn't understand it very much. If it were her, if she encountered such a good thing, she would probably wake up laughing when she fell asleep. How could she be so sad?

"That engagement was hundreds of years ago! It's more than seven hundred years ago!! I don't know what happened after that, and I don't even know if that is my previous life."

"Previous life? Aren't you still Leng Xin now?"

Jasmine looked at her in confusion.

"To a certain extent, maybe I am still her. After all, this body has not changed, and some of the past memories have also recovered. You know? During this time, I feel like..."

Gu Xiaoxing suddenly started chatting:

"...It's like an amnesia patient reliving a past life! It seems like my twenty years have stretched horizontally for a thousand years!! However, in the middle, there have been hundreds of years of interruption, and I still don't know it! You know Is that what it feels like?”

She looked at Jasmine with burning eyes, and she shook her head in confusion.

“It’s very messy and unsteady!!”

She was a little upset and helpless:

"I don't know if what I am facing now and have to accept is my cause and effect. Am I the complete me in his eyes? Those relived past and emotional experiences... I think that is Me...but not quite."

Gu Xiaoxing stirred the latte art into white bubbles.

Jasmine's expression also became serious, and she put down the coffee cup in her hand:

"It's hard for me to imagine the feeling of chaos in the past life that you described. It's too abstract. However, I roughly understand what you mean. Xiaoyuki... It seems that between you and the Demon King, you really have to... take your time... …”

Gu Xiaoxing nodded fiercely and glanced at the glass window behind Jasmine inadvertently.

She saw Leng Xin herself in the deep glass window again, and the resistance and uneasiness in her heart immediately arose spontaneously. There is also a complex taste of sourness and sadness in it.

She didn't tell Jasmine because she was worried about scaring her, and she didn't plan to tell anyone about it. This is a secret in her heart.

Ever since she came back from another world, she has been a little out of sorts. Whether she was working on a plan during the day or speed-reading "Code of Other Worlds" and "Century Chronicles of Other Worlds" at night, it was difficult to concentrate.

In just two or three days, she had wandered four or five times. After waking up, she could not remember what she had been in a daze. There is only one scene that remains fresh in her memory. It was the first night after she returned home. In a daze, she felt like she was spinning around in a dark room full of shelves. There was something in the corner. It was flashing and flashing, and she couldn't get close to that corner.

She didn't tell Ming Shuo these things, even when he took time out of his busy schedule to talk to her and practice spiritual control with her, she didn't mention it. She didn't want to worry him all the time.

Gu Xiaoxing drank coffee and listened to Jasmine chatting about daily trivial matters. She was very pleased that Jasmine seemed to have adjusted quickly after experiencing the massacre, leaving no "sequelae". No wonder, this girl is usually simple and free-spirited, with strong tastes. In the past two years, she has been working hard on the TV station. What weird scenes have she not seen? Although it was beyond her knowledge this time, the "security" thing seemed to have never been a red light for her.

"Lily, our company will hold a theme party this Friday night, and your radio station will also have someone to record it. Will you come that day?"

Gu Xiaoxing asked suddenly.

"I was on duty that day, so I probably won't be able to come. Today I'm just accompanying the new members of the team to visit the place."

Jasmine seemed a little regretful.

"Oh...it's okay. It's okay if you can't come. This party is a bit long and there may be chaos at the scene. Maybe it's easier for you to be on duty at the radio station."

Gu Xiaoxing comforted him and breathed a sigh of relief. She had a "slightly adventurous" plan that she planned to implement that night. It was something she finally persuaded Ming Shuo to agree to, and she didn't want Jasmine to be involved by then.

"Xiao Xing, you know who you invited to host your company's theme party, right?"

Jasmine suddenly looked at her with a funny look on her face.
