Chapter 378 face to face

Zhu Jue never thought that Luo Beilin would actually say that he really just wanted to borrow the Burning Box, but now he was in an awkward situation, after all, he said in front of so many people that he could borrow it for a few minutes.

Fortunately, before this result, Zhu Jue also added a condition, that is, Luo Beilin helped him open the scorching box, so there was still some room for mediation.

But before Zhu Jue spoke again, Luo Beilin suddenly extended his right hand to him: "I hope you can lend me 3 minutes."

Hearing this, Zhu Jue was taken aback at first, his eyes fell on Luo Beilin's palm for a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows, and then he grinned loudly.

Don't get me wrong, the two didn't hit it off, and Lobelin didn't extend his hand to express his kindness or request.

In fact, even what he said is ambiguous. Normal people must think that he wants to ask for Zhu Jue's consent, but this is not the case at all, because Zhu Jue clearly sees the ring around his palm. A layer of dark brown grit, and there was no pleading look in his eyes at all.

I hope you can borrow me for 3 minutes. The meaning here is: If you have the ability, then let me borrow the scorching box, otherwise just stand there obediently and watch me take it away!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Jue opened his hand and held it directly.

The moment they clasped their hands, people within a few meters around immediately felt the shaking of the ground and a heart-chilling cold wave, so in this lively street, at this moment, people were everywhere looking around.

They all saw the two people in the middle of the street, but they didn't pay attention, because the actions of the two at this time were like friends who had been reunited for a long time.

If someone is more careful, they will find that under the palms of the two of them, there is an infinity symbol ∞, with dark gravel on one side and blue ice crystals on the other, rolling and confronting each other.

The whole process is not long, just less than 10 seconds.

Zhu Jue was the first to let go.

"I'm going to a reception in half an hour, can we chat somewhere else?"

Pointing to the crowd passing by, Zhu Jue squinted his eyes with a smile on his face. The latter obviously had no intention of fighting in the street, so he nodded immediately, and didn't care that Zhu Jue put the place of conversation inside the post station of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce .

Before Lisanna's room was being repaired by a cement worker, the two changed to another room. The people from the chamber of commerce came over with two cups of coffee and all left.

The competition on the street did not cause conflicts between the two. In fact, it was the kind of evasive battle that allowed the two sides to have confidence in each other's strength while avoiding too many negative emotions. The mood of the two people in the coffee is actually pretty normal.

"How do you know that the Burning Box is in my hand?"

Zhu Jue leaned against the stone fence on the edge of the balcony, with coffee beside her, glanced at Luo Beilin,

"This news should be a secret. Even I only found out about it in the past two days."

"Dream Eaters, I found one of their strongholds in Dilas Harbor, and I spent some time asking for information."

"You asked from the dream eater. It's interesting. Just a few hours ago, a few dream eaters came here, and they also wanted to ask me for the burning box. The only difference is that I didn't ask. what."

Knowing the source of Lobelin's news, Zhu Jue nodded in satisfaction. The other party has a hostile relationship with the dream eater. At least he doesn't have to worry that the other party will attack the Chamber of Commerce when he leaves the dreamland.
"Look, we have found something in common. There is a saying in my hometown that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. You and I have fought against the Dream Eater. In this way, it is possible for us to become friends." .”

"Maybe, if you can give me the scorching box, this process will be shortened very much."

Tapping the mask with his fingers, Luo Beilin was as calm as Zhu Jue.

"Hehe, before shortening this process, can I ask you why you want the Burning Box? To be honest, my subordinates and I haven't figured out what's inside, let alone how to open it. Those of you who come to the door seem to know how to use it, I promise, if you are willing to tell me how to use it, I can lend you a period of time... much more than 3 minutes."

If the scorching box is not opened, it is a piece of waste. Zhu Jue has no idea at this time. Now that there is an opportunity in this regard, he will naturally not miss it.

"I don't know what's in it."

Lobelin spread his hands and said.

Zhu Jue's hand that was about to grab the coffee cup stopped in mid-air, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Lobelin: "You said you don't know what's inside, but you want to use it to solve your troubles? So stupid?"

"I thought we should be able to reach some consensus, but now it seems that you don't seem to be interested."

As soon as the words fell, the fine dust floating in the orange sunset light on the balcony was blown into ice crystals by the cold wind.

If you want to fight alone, Zhu Jue has never been afraid of anyone!
"You misunderstood, I really don't know what's in the box of scorching heat, but I know the origin of the box of scorching heat, it's related to the god of the sea, the ancient books I consulted mentioned that in the past, people would visit the sunken city Carry out sacrifices to the Sea God, and the contents of the scorching box are the key props. As for what is contained in it, and the Sea God, there are no detailed mentions in the books, only vaguely mentioned in a few words Origin, as if those existences should not be talked about."

If he didn't want to talk about it, Lobelin wouldn't be sitting here.

"So, it is an item for the Sea God's sacrifice. Does this have any extraordinary meaning to you?"

According to Lisanna, the scorching box was indeed found in the sea near the sunken city. Lobelin's explanation was highly credible, but Zhu Jue still didn't understand what he meant.

"Of course, since it can become a key item for the Sea God's sacrifice, there is no doubt that the Searing Box must contain some kind of powerful force that is closely related to the ocean. I need it."

"doing what?"

"My name is Lobelin, a survivor of the curse of the gateless city, Shayan Lobelin!"

Raising his head, the man emphasized his identity with a tone of pathos and pain.

The evening wind blew, blowing the tall coconut tree next to the house, and the broad leaves rustled. Zhu Jue scratched his chin in embarrassment.

Zhu Jue can feel that there must be some meaning in the title of the other party, but he really doesn't know what it means. He is not an aborigine in the dreamland at all, but a traveler, but the atmosphere is so hot here. Wish I felt even a little suspicious that if I said something at this time that I hadn't heard, the other party would become angry and fight him to the death.

"Heh, it seems that you don't know about the Gateless City. It's okay, you will understand soon."

Seeing Zhu Jue's expression, Luo Beilin smiled bitterly, raised his hand to press the outside of the mask, leaned back on the chair, and immediately took off the mask.

hiss~
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Jue's gaze was fixed on Luo Beilin's face. The evening breeze that was supposed to bring coolness now made Zhu Jue's whole body feel chilly and his scalp numb.

Zhu Jue has seen all kinds of disgusting existences, and it is needless to say that the monsters that are sources of spiritual pollution are curious, but this scene in front of him is something Zhu Jue has never seen before.

That face, apart from a pair of eyeballs that are almost the same as gray glass beads, there are no other organs!

Nose, eyebrows, mouth, cheeks, and even the most basic bones and flesh and blood. No, nothing!

Just a mass of gravel or dust that is constantly scattered and reunited
At this moment, what appeared in front of Zhu Jue was such a terrifying scene that is difficult to describe in words. For ordinary people, he should have fainted by screaming at this time, but Zhu Jue is Zhu Jue, and his will has long since passed away. I have survived the "low taste", and now I can barely appreciate even some "high-end existence".

Now it was Lobelin's turn to be surprised.

"Are not you afraid?"

No one who has seen his face in the past is not frightened, and there are not a few people who faint. The "wonderful work" of the first step.

"You may not believe it. A few years ago, I talked and laughed with many monsters. I have glimpsed ones that are more terrifying than you, so I have some resistance. In addition, my previous appearance can be regarded as horror in another sense. Now I really have no right to laugh at you."

If you say that he is a monster, Zhu Jue, who can still undergo a complete mutation, seems to be no different. He smacked his lips and said,

"How did you get this look?"

He picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp, to be precise, because from Zhu Jue's perspective, Lobelin just splashed the coffee on his face, and this scene even made the former laugh out loud. said.

Not only did Lobelin not feel embarrassed about this, but he was in a good mood.

In the past few years, he has shown himself in a mask, but this is the first time he has met such an interesting guy.

"You are the first person I met who is not afraid of me. You asked me how I got this appearance. Since you want to hear it, I am willing to tell you, as your reward for talking face to face with me."

Face-to-face conversations have been a long-awaited prospect for Loblin for years!
