Chapter 8: The Divided Ino and Ilan 2
Looking at Ino and Yilan lying quietly on the bed, I could only sigh in frustration.
After Ino and Ilan fainted, Quint sent them both back to the Glass Castle.
After treating their wounds, the family doctor said that it was nothing serious and they would be fine as long as they rested well.
It might be because they are sacred beasts, even though they were badly injured, their wounds healed much faster than us normal people. On the way to send them back, I saw the wounds on their heads healing little by little.
But Ino and Yilan were still unconscious. I couldn't believe my eyes because I found that they were translucent.
"Quinte, if this continues, will they really disappear?" I was very worried. My intuition told me that the separation of Ino and Yilan was an ominous sign.
Quint nodded silently, turned and walked out of Ino's bedroom.
After covering Ino and Yilan with the quilt, I followed Quint to the living room.
"Are they feeling better?" Seeing me come out, Xi Ziqian immediately came forward to ask, her tone full of heartache.
I lowered my head in silence.
What should I do? How can I break the seal on my body and save them?
"If we can't find a way to unlock the seal of the black magic, we'll really be out of time." Quint said helplessly as he looked at the night outside the window.
"Can you please stop adding to Xiaoqian's sense of guilt?" Hearing this, Xi Ziqian growled unhappily.
She was the only one I knew who didn't want me to resume my dark magic.
"Am I wrong? In a few days, we will be trapped in the photo album forever, but she is still struggling to decide whether to choose Ino or Yilan." Quint stared at us excitedly with a sneer on his lips, showing his deep contempt for me.
"I didn't!" I argued aggrievedly.
I want to get my magic back, or at least rescue them first. As for Yilan's problem, I will find a way later!
"No? You didn't take my words to heart at all. If you really didn't want us to disappear, you would have recovered your magic by now. You clearly know that your uncle has a way to remove the seal on you, but you are afraid of your father and are so cowardly that you just hide." Quint was a little agitated. He grabbed my shoulders and shook them hard as if he wanted to crush me.
I really don't know what to do except crying in grievance. I am indeed afraid of my father, but my uncle is still trying to find a way! As long as my uncle finds a way to remove the seal, I will save them even if I have to sacrifice my own life!
"Alright, you have ulterior motives!" Xi Ziqian finally couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and pushed Quint away, holding me in her arms, "Does Xiao Qian look like someone who is just watching from the sidelines? She is also trying to cooperate with her uncle to find a solution. As for you, don't make yourself sound so noble, you just want to steal Xiao Qian's magic, save your people, and even rule the universe. The snake clan is originally a sinister and hypocritical villain."
"I am sinister and hypocritical?" Quint looked at us with disdain. "I just want to save my people. This is my duty as a sacred beast. Is this wrong? You are the real selfish villains, right? Aren't you afraid that your ruler will believe the rumors and Xiao Qian will be killed if she unlocks the magic? Humans are really greedy and selfish. In order to protect an insignificant life, you actually watched our demon race disappear."
"Stop trying to mislead people here. The magician clan was annihilated back then because of you, the snake clan, spreading rumors and misleading people. There is no such thing as you can conquer the world by obtaining black magic and the album of sacred beasts. You don't need to bother trying to seize Xiao Qian's black magic ." Xi Ziqian glared at Quint and scolded him, tears flashing in her eyes, as if she could see the tragic scene of the magician clan being annihilated by the rulers back then.
"Who needs that crappy magic? I just want to rescue my people. I want eternal freedom, that's all. I don't believe Youxi doesn't have such thoughts. Don't you notice that Youxi is becoming less and less energetic?" Quint said, pointing the finger at Youxi who was concentrating on playing games and completely ignoring us.
When his name was suddenly called, Youxi blinked innocently, raised his head to look at us, then lowered his head and continued playing games as if it had nothing to do with him.
"You'd better not drag me into this. I don't really care whether it's sealed or not. Anyway, our rabbit tribe is timid and afraid of trouble. Being sealed in the album makes me feel safer. When I was unsealed, I just wanted to have fun now, so as not to be sealed again and never see so many rare things again! But..." Youxi suddenly raised his head, with the shadow of Xi Ziqian in his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Xixi's appearance was an accident. The only thing I can't bear to leave is you!"
Hearing this, Xi Ziqian, who had always been strong, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and a crystal tear rolled down her cheeks. That was probably the thing that Qianqian was most unwilling to face!
Youxi and Xi Ziqian did not speak again, but just stared at each other quietly, as if this glance lasted for ten thousand years.
"Hmph! The Rabbit Tribe will be hard to survive with a sacred beast like you!" Quint sneered. He seemed to have given up on Youxi, who had no ambitions.
"I will find a way. I believe I will think of a way to rescue you before you are completely sucked back into the photo album." I promised firmly.
Perhaps I should say that I have always had a hunch in my heart that the appearance of Ino and the others was not a coincidence, and the instigator who went to great lengths to make all this happen definitely did not just want to seal them up again.
Another point is that although Ino split into two people, and Quint and Youxi gradually lost their vitality, their spirits are full. Since the photo album was confiscated by their father, they have not become weak, but have become energetic again.
Maybe I should face my father bravely with the determination to die, and ask him if he was the one who sealed the black magic in me, and why he wanted to seal the magic in me?
If my father was afraid that my magic would bring me death after it was unsealed, or if he was afraid that I would do evil with magic, then he could have sealed my magic again after I unsealed it.
Or maybe Dad also has some dark magic, and he can directly remove the seal on Ino and the others, so I don’t have to worry about my safety.
I will ask my father for help when I get home. Even if he sends me abroad, I will definitely ask him for a way to rescue Ino and the others.
Besides, my mother will definitely stand on my side, and she would not want to see such perfect boys like Ino turned into portraits.
