Chapter 57 What did you lose, Shu Mo?

This was Shu Mo's first murder.

In other words, this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands.

In fact, apart from the initial confusion and slight resistance, he didn't feel much in his heart.

Just like Shi Xi said: That was what he wanted to do from the beginning. There is no big difference in the result if he orders pollutants or kills people himself. But Shu Mo still felt a little uncomfortable. He took a deep breath for a moment and felt that his hands were extremely sticky and uncomfortable.

But he has to adapt after all. Shu Mo has realized one thing. If he wants to stay with Xi, he can't avoid this kind of thing. This will only be the beginning. Instead of waiting until you have to do it later, start adapting now.

"You did a good job, good boy."

Xi's voice came, with a hint of persuasion and just the right amount of care in his tone, which made Shu Mo's depressed emotions dissipate. The man stretched out his hand and pulled Shu Mo up, then took him to the pool and took him to wash the blood on the two people's hands.

"This is for you." Xi handed him the dagger just now. The blood stains on it had been wiped dry, and there were beautiful gems inlaid on it. On the blade of the dagger, there was a pattern of the sun printed on it. Whenever the dagger grazed the air, it gave people a feeling that made hair stand on end.

"It's called 'Xu Hui'." Xi said. I wonder if it was Shu Mo's illusion. The dagger poked out from the shadows, and the part illuminated by the sun seemed to appear brighter: "In places where the sun shines, It will be more active."

Shu Mo looked at the dagger, and then the young man reached out and took it, then smiled at Xi: "I will make good use of it."

Xi looked at him with an extremely soft look in his eyes. He accepted the dagger as if receiving a code that only the two of them knew. Along with this process, Shu Mo felt that he was getting closer to Dexi. This is the fastest way to get closer, such as the suspension bridge effect, committing a crime together, having a secret from each other...or, being the same kind.

But Shu Mo turned around and looked at the corpse in front of him, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: I know... Gary was hiding behind, did he hear everything they said?

"This is not the gift I want to give you."

Xi's voice sounded again, interrupting Shu Mo's thoughts. There was no change in the expression on his face. He looked at the person in front of him and took out a delicate small box. Then, Xi stretched out his hand and opened it. Shu Mo's eyes dimmed, but at this moment, it seemed that the world in front of him Everything darkened, and the setting sun gradually turned into a star curtain. The sky was dotted with countless stars, but only twelve dazzling stars were the most eye-catching. In front of Shu Mo's eyes, one of the stars shook slightly, In an instant, it crossed the star curtain and suddenly fell into this box.

Shu Mo came back to his senses. Then, he looked at the sixteen-sided crystal hanging in the air and spinning continuously in front of him, and for the first time he looked so shocked.

"This is...?"

This star floating in the mid-air has an almost terrifying temptation for all creatures in the tower. This is the origin of the star pillar. Anyone who has obtained its approval can directly Inherit the power of the previous Star Pillar and master the authority of the flame.

But if it cannot gain its approval, the origin will disappear directly until a new pillar is born. Under normal circumstances, the successor will be the messenger of the pillar, but all the messengers in Feishi have been slaughtered by Weiss. This origin He was also captured by the ancestor, and then took Xi away.

Now, it was placed in the box and became Xi's gift to Shu Mo.

Shu Mo stared blankly at the treasure in front of him. He stretched out his hand involuntarily and touched the crystal. The next second, a scorching temperature came and burned Shu Mo in the fire. He liked the temperature on Xi's body, but But hates excessive heat. The young man avoided the flame, and the burning hell inside the crystal stopped for a moment, and Shu Mo's hand was bounced away by it.

When the young man came back to his senses, he found that his fingertips were scorched black, but he was rejected by the Star Pillar and could not become the new Star Pillar Twelve.

There was an arrogant emotion inside the crystal in front of him, and Shu Mo's personality was inconsistent with it. The next second, Xi stretched out his hand and wiped the black spots on his fingertips clean. The man lowered his eyes and said nothing. He just stretched out his hand to hold it down. This crystal continued to struggle crazily, but could not escape Xi's restraint. He crushed it into a beautiful earring at his fingertips. Then, the man stretched out his hand and motioned for Shu Mo to come over.

"I...can't be the new pillar."

Shu Mo declined politely, and suddenly remembered that the twelve star pillars sounded familiar. A woman's face quietly appeared in his memory, and the other party said that she was a star pillar. Pillar's messenger and denounced him as a blasphemer.

Then... Shu Mo never saw each other again.

Now, he saw the origin of the Twelve Star Pillars here.

The young man didn't know what happened, but he vaguely guessed something. The man looked at him. He obviously didn't say anything, but Shu Mo felt a strong sense of oppression. The young man touched the tough part of Xi's character. He looked at Xi, under the gaze of those white eyes. , could only choose to get closer to the other person, and felt Xi holding his ears. Shu Mo's ears were hidden under the black hair, looking very white, and the earlobes were a little soft. Xi aimed the earrings at Shu Mo's ears and held them down. Mo's head seemed to hurt a little, but he didn't make a sound.

Xi moved his hand away, and the origin of the star pillar was embedded there like a decoration on Shu Mo's ears, covered again by his hair.

Xi said: "This origin has been restricted by me. If it meets a successor in the future, the other party must obey you wholeheartedly in order to obtain this origin."

He stretched out his hand and looked at the trace on his fingertips. Bloodshot, then licked it off very gently. Because his movements were so natural, even if Shu Mo saw them, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

Shu Mo thought about Xi's words for a while, and then took a breath of cold air. Xi's meaning was almost as if he was telling him: The future Star Pillar Twelve will either not appear, or after they appear, they will definitely obey Shu Mo.

This is simply...

Shu Mo felt a little numb. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "This is too expensive."

"No," the man said with a smile, "The tower is about to begin to change. Shu Mo, you have to advance. Be prepared."

"Change?"

Shu Mo looked at him. If it were before, Shu Mo would not have said these words, but now, his relationship with Xi has fundamentally changed, so Shu Mo thinks he can ask more now. :

"What will happen next?"

"Are these things related to you?"

He couldn't help but touch his earlobe and looked at the dagger in his hand. He felt that he had received too many gifts from Xi, but there was nothing he could do about it. Give Hee what he needs.

The young man thought that he had to do something for Xi.

"...Is there anything I can do for you?"

Shu Mo said, "I will help you, as long as I can do it."

He raised his head slightly, and there was nothing else in his eyes, only concern for Xi and his own ability. Shu Mo knows what he can do and believes that no one can beat him in this regard.

"After some time, I also want to bring you a gift."

Shu Mo said. Xi looked at him, and then nodded. Looking at the young man's appearance, he seemed to be unable to hold back a certain thought in his heart, and began to scream crazily.

...very much.

"Speaking of which," Xi's deep voice said, "I do have something that I need you to do."

"Really?" Shu Mo raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows confidently: "I will try my best to do it-"

Halfway through his words, Xi looked at him with lowered eyes, and then took a step forward. The silent garden was shrouded in a force. Apart from them, there were only a few corpses on the ground and people who did not dare to come close. pollutants. Xi's body came closer, and he stretched out his hand to grab Shu Mo in front of him. There was still a faint smile on the corner of the man's lips. His expression was perfect and flawless, and the warmth on his face was like a piece of jade, with a hint of warmth. Seeing the softness that made people approach him involuntarily, there was nothing wrong with Xi's body. However, just such a man made Shu Mo's body stiffen.

Then, Shu Mo heard the person in front of him say softly:

"Shu Mo, do you want to go to a place that is safe and warm enough?" Xi said.

His expression looked extremely normal, and the smile on his face was pure and gentle. It was so bright that people couldn't take their eyes away, but it was this kind of hope that made people's hair stand on end with horror.

"It's too dangerous for you to be out there." Xi said softly, her eyes so soft that they were about to turn into water: "I want to put you in a safe enough place - this is for your own good."

This kind of like I'm afraid that the precious glass product will be broken outside, so I want to put it somewhere and arrange it. What's going on...?

In Xi's mouth, he almost turned into a precious work of art. Shu Mo looked at him and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had experienced this kind of situation before: in greed, in Xi, around the director, the looks of those people gradually overlapped, giving him a subtle sense of similarity.

But...the person in front of me is Xi.

Shu Mo blinked, turned his face, and took a deep breath. The young man stayed obediently in Xi's hand and looked at the man in front of him with a gentle smile on his face. But in that perfect face, It was as if there was a vague crack that was about to split from the center, causing that kind of face to be divided from the center.

"I... don't want this." Shu Mo looked at the person in front of him, but there was no fear in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, not to pull Xi's hand away, but to hold the other person's palm with a firm look in his eyes.

His tone was firm, almost as if he wanted to join the party, but Xi looked at him with a smile. For a moment, Shu Mo really had a creepy illusion, as if there was some extremely terrifying and unimaginably huge beast. Crouching in front of him, he was always ready to open his mouth and swallow him whole.

Behind him, the pollutants gathered together. Some of the monsters wanted to step forward, but slowly backed away under Xi's gaze; some were blocked by a barrier, and the bell ringer's The mechanical body made a crackling sound, and it was about to explode with force, but it still couldn't get rid of the heavy pressure coming from it.

"Oh? Why." Xi still looked very gentle: "Wouldn't it be better to go to a safe enough place?"

"I don't think that is a good thing." Shu Mo pondered for a moment, and finally chose to be honest.

"Actually, I think that if I can really stay in a safe place without having to work or be afraid of any danger, then that is indeed the life I want."

Shu Mo shrugged, and it was obvious that He meant what he said.

"But I'm afraid that in that situation, I won't know what I should do." Schumo said, "If it really stays like this, my mind will become stupid."

"In that case, I might lose something . I don't even remember." Shu Mo said jokingly: "I still want to remember you more, I want to stay by your side."

Xi looked at him quietly. After a while, Shu Mo pressed his hands hard, and then slowly. , slowly pulled off Xi's hand. The man didn't seem to be completely convinced. In fact, his fingers were about to move, as if he wanted to continue doing what he wanted to do.

But Shu Mo said...he wanted to stay by his side.

In the long silence, Xi suddenly bent his eyes and smiled: "It sounds really worthwhile, Shu Mo."

"I hope you can remember your words."

He arranged Shu Mo's clothes thoughtfully and gently, and then As if sighing, he said helplessly: "I just don't want you to get hurt. I hope you can be well."

"I really don't like to see you hurt by other people." Xi said: "If that's the case, I might I won’t be able to control myself.”

“I’ll get angry and have a terrible temper.”

The man said with a smile, “I hope you won’t hate me by then.

” ...How could I hate you?" Shu Mo said. Xi looked at him, seeming to be happy because of his words: "That's really great."

Xi gently touched his hair, feeling the lingering feeling that just lingered on him. The sense of danger dissipated quietly, and the person standing here was a man with a gentle smile. Shu Mo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, as if he was afraid of Xi just now.

How can it be.

Shu Mo thought.

How could he...be afraid of Xi.

As if to cover up the delicate atmosphere just now, the man stretched out his hand and suddenly asked, "Can I hug you again?"

Shu Mo raised his face and looked at him, showing a happy smile. He had no reason to refuse, and the two hugged each other again. Shu Mo felt the warmth coming from the other person's body, and some kind of panic in his heart slowly stabilized. It didn't matter, he thought, as long as it was Xi, it would be fine. .

This time the hug lasted longer than the last time. It was so long that Shu Mo felt that his hands were a little stiff. He paused slightly and then took a step back: "My hands are a little numb."

Xi was very gentle. laughed.

The man released him and led him to Gary's body. A circle of pollutants surrounding him looked at him eagerly. Shu Mo actually couldn't remember what had just happened. He only knew the strong murderous feeling in his heart. Unable to suppress his thoughts, Shu Mo found out that those pollutants were coming to his side.

In other words, the contaminants in those containment rooms...have disappeared.

Shu Mo's scalp went numb, and he realized the seriousness of the matter in an instant. Is it too late to let them go back now?

He looked at the pollutants gathered in front of him, and then said: "Why don't you go back?"

A group of monsters looked at him with innocent expressions. Shu Mo coughed dryly, and Xi next to him said, "You still can't fully grasp your power?"

"Shu Mo." The man said, "You need to know what you can do. I think you seem to You are missing some key guide, and this flaw prevents you from controlling your own abilities."

Shu Mo looked at Xi and saw Xi holding his chin, guiding him like an experienced senior: "You. Do you feel that you are missing something crucial when using your abilities?"

"I don't know." Shu Mo frowned. He didn't know that he was a saint until a few days ago, but similarly, He also realized at that moment that something was wrong with him. No matter what, there would be no one like him who could forget what he had done.

Now hearing what Xi said, Shu Mo suddenly felt that he seemed to be missing something... The reason why the man said this was because many hunters had the same situation as Shu Mo, and those people might have their own weapons. ; Or it may have its own companion creature.

Even Greed has his own sickle, which was born with him and is the most suitable weapon for him. If you lose that sickle, it is tantamount to cutting off a limb of greed.

A golden scepter appeared in Xi's hand. The tyrant groaned in his hand. The man lowered his eyes and continued, "I want to order you now to use your ability."

"Don't resist me." Xi whispered. Said: "You have to maintain your sanity during this process and think about what you are missing."

Shu Mo's eyes fell on the scepter and he saw the brilliance flowing on the tyrant. After hearing Xi's words , that ray of light stagnated for a moment.

"I'll try." Shu Mo also wanted to know what was going on with him. After hearing his words, Xi laughed softly. Then, the smile on the man's face remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly became sharp and indifferent. .

"Shu Mo." He spoke, calling his name in a commanding tone for the first time: "Send them back to the storage room."

Shu Mo felt a heavy pressure coming from the tyrant's ability, as if A kind of order or a rule, as long as you disobey the other party, you will be suppressed mercilessly. White light appeared in Shu Mo's eyes, and the tyrant's body also erupted with pure golden brilliance. At that moment, what looked more painful than Shu Mo was the trembling pollutant in Zai Xi's hand.

Xi stretched out his hand to hold the scepter and looked at Shu Mo: "Don't resist."

Shu Mo let out a sob, but this pitiful appearance could not shake Xi at all, but Shu Mo didn't want to give up at this moment. Shu Mo's hand moved as if instinctively. It was the first time that Shu Mo used the power inside his body while he was awake. The white light in his eyes became more and more obvious. The young man looked like a bystander, watching him stretch out his hand and see Looking at the pollutants, the young man heard himself saying softly: "Thank you."

"Now, it's time for you to go home."

Shu Mo stretched out his hand and raised his arm slightly, almost instinctively He shook his arm as he moved, as if there should be something oscillating with his movement, but then this movement froze for a moment due to some lack. The next second, all the pollutants in front of him suddenly disappeared. , was sent back to their containment room. The laboratory, which was already about to turn into a mess, came to a standstill for an instant. The hunter looked at the returning pollutants. After a moment of silence, she picked up the communication and said, "No need to look for it anymore." Yes, they...are back."

The hunter reappeared blankly at the bell ringer in the containment room. After seeing the other person look at her, he returned to his original place like a sculpture.

"Is there something?"

Shu Mo felt a sudden pain in his leg. He staggered back a step, and a hand caught him. The young man turned his face and saw Xi's concerned eyes. Holding Xi's hand tightly, he said with difficulty:

"There is something... it should be on my arm."

"But, I don't know what it is..." Shu Mo said, trying his best to keep his eyes open, his face Covered in cold sweat: "Did I lose it, or did someone steal it?"

"Good boy."

Xi hugged him gently and said to him, "I will get it back."

Shu Mo bit Holding his teeth, he held Xi's clothes tightly and looked at the man saying to him in front of him: "We will find it."

Even so, Shu Mo's body was still shaking slightly, and there was uncontrollable anger and anger in his eyes. He looked extremely pitiful in pain, and was shaking as if he was extremely angry, so angry that he could not speak.

Xi stretched out his hand and hugged the trembling Shu Mo into his arms. The moment he was wrapped in the warmth, Shu Mo felt that the roaring anger in his heart slowly subsided, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat. , the familiar sharp pain from his body gnawed at his right leg bit by bit. At that moment, Shu Mo thought, if he hadn't lost that thing, wouldn't he need to... suffer so much?

"Don't be afraid."

Xi hugged him tightly, and a warmth came from the man's palm, soothing the pain in Shu Mo's body little by little. His voice was gentle and soft, which made the hatred suddenly burst out of the young man's body. Dissipated some.

After a while, Shu Mo lowered his head and a somewhat disappointed voice came out, which seemed very muffled. "If I can be more useful," the young

man said, "then can I purify more pollutants?" "

There is no point in thinking about what you have lost."

"What you can do is to determine what you can do at this moment."

Xi said, "You just need to take care of yourself. " , Don’t think about anything else."

Shu Mo looked at him and shook his head slowly. Xi didn't say anything more. He looked at the body behind Shu Mo and said to him: "Turn your head."

I don't know what Xi did. Shu Mo watched him walk behind him. The next second, Shu Mo He heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice:

"...it would be too rude to attack me just because I want to invite you to the trial court."

Shu Mo's eyes widened a little, and he suddenly turned around Face, he saw the corpse whose chest was cut open by him and covered in blood stood up staggeringly. The wound on the chest of the man with blond hair and golden eyes seemed to be healed. The blood on his face was wiped dry by himself. He straightened his hair and then showed a slightly arrogant smile to Shu Mo.

"Lord Shu Mo," he said, "I will go back and tell the trial court that the Saint is not here."

"This... this is..." Shu Mo looked a little stunned at the scene in front of him. Xi looked at him and was about to say something when the two people present suddenly paused. Then, Xi raised his face and looked at a figure slowly appearing behind Shu Mo. A big hole appeared in the barrier he had set up. The man with red eyes held a pipe in his hand, and then he knocked on the protective shield in front of him, and the light film in front of him suddenly broke.

The director walked forward, with the dagger cultivator at his feet following him. After seeing a figure, the dagger cultivator suddenly quickened his pace and rushed towards Shu Mo like a motor running at full speed. .

Shu Mo felt a sudden bump at his feet. He slowly turned around and saw the little spider crawling up his trousers. Then, it climbed onto his shoulder and lay there as if paralyzed from exhaustion. After resting for a while, he stared at Shu Mo with that eye. The next second, Dagger Xiu raised a few claws and started dancing towards Shu Mo:

"Chi!"

"Chi chi chi!"

"Ouch. "The director's drawn-out tone came from behind, with a chilling chill: "What are you doing here?"
