Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 02 Between Reason and Emotion
"You're here." The thin figure in the darkness looked so familiar. Mo Yi was slightly startled when he looked at the figure. He tried to search for the same figure in his memory, but the other party did not allow him to think carefully. Sensing his approach, the other party slowly turned around.
The face in front of him was none other than DD Zhuo Wei, the tribe member who had been harassing Ying Lili.
Mo Yi frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand why this person would send a message from thousands of miles away to invite him here so late at night.
He was almost thrown into disarray by the sudden fainting of Ping Lili and the recovery of some of her memories. It took him a long time to calm his chaotic mind, but he suddenly received a message from this so-called tribe member thousands of miles away.
He finally managed to sneak out when Ping Lili fell asleep again, but Mo Yi didn't understand why he and the other party needed to have such a secret conversation in the middle of the night.
They should be irreconcilable, right? If this is a trap set by the other party, then this trap is a bit too direct. But it was precisely because of the curiosity to see what tricks the other party was playing that prompted Mo Yi to go on this trip.
"That little girl, is she the wizard Sha Mo?" Zhuo Wei, with his arms folded across his chest and an innocent look on his face, suddenly threw a verbal bomb. Mo Yi's eyelids twitched inadvertently, and he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Zhuo Wei didn't seem to expect Mo Yi's answer. He smiled strangely and continued, "Let me guess her identity. If it's as I expected, she is not only the Shamo wizard, but also the Shamo master wizard who cast a curse on us!"
"So, what do you want to do?" Mo Yi moved the fingers of his right hand slightly, wondering sarcastically what kind of rotten day it was today that everyone came to play the truth or dare game.
It seemed that the secret that he had deliberately concealed before became known to everyone in the blink of an eye.
However, since the other party has already noticed something, Mo Yi is too lazy to hide it anymore. He was mentally prepared when he rescued Ying Lili before. His subsequent tricks might be able to deceive the Sha Mo people, but this tribe member would definitely notice something.
"Don't be so serious. Although I wanted to kill the little girl before, that was without knowing her identity. Now is a different time. She is the key person to lift the curse on us, so I won't do anything to her again. Don't worry."
Although the other party made solemn promises, Mo Yi could not easily believe him. After all, the previous confrontations were still vivid in his mind. Moreover, he knew nothing about the other party's origins, and he had no way of finding out how much the other party knew about the events of hundreds of years ago.
"Although you may not believe me when I say this, think about it. We actually have common interests in this matter because we are all cursed Nayu people." Zhuo Wei raised the hand with the mark of Suzaku and tilted his head to smile evilly.
"I don't need help from others." Mo Yi was silent for a few seconds, then spoke lightly and turned to leave. The other party's calculating smile made Mo Yi feel inexplicably disgusted. Perhaps he didn't like Zhuo Wei's tone of using Ying Lili as a target of calculation. Although he had always played a not-so-glorious role before, if he were in someone else's shoes, Mo Yi would naturally feel repulsive.
Although this seemed like a double standard, Mo Yi did not notice this small contradiction in his heart at this moment.
"Do you know why her power was sealed and she fell into reincarnation?" The other party suddenly asked this question, which made Mo Yi stop in his tracks.
"Because I heard that the head wizard named Yao Ji was a silly woman. After casting a spell, she found out that her lover was also from our Nayu people. So she tried like crazy to lift the spell, but ended up getting backfired." The other party's teasing words were like a bolt from the blue to Mo Yi's heart, and his face changed in an instant!
Before Zhuo Wei could even react, Mo Yi grabbed him by the collar. Mo Yi almost roared at him, "What did you say? What did you just say?"
Because Mo Yi's attack was too sudden, Zhuo Wei was grabbed by the collar before he could even defend himself. He reacted in a flash and quickly stepped back to break free from Mo Yi's restraints. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mo Yi did not have any murderous intentions. If it were an ordinary day, this slight negligence would have been enough to kill him!
As if to retaliate against Mo Yi's sudden attack, Zhuo Wei teased maliciously: "Why are you so excited? Could it be that you are her old lover?"
"Yao Ji, she...she..." Mo Yi was frozen there at this moment. Over the past few days, he had speculated countless times about the reason why Ying Lili's power was sealed. He was also puzzled as to why Yao Ji's reincarnation would have the dual identities of a Nayu man and a Sha Mo wizard . However, he never thought that this would be the reason!
Thinking about it carefully, this seemed like something that woman would do. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment.
All the resentment and doubts towards her in my heart turned into a helpless sigh.
Zhuo Wei seemed to have known all this for a long time. He was not too surprised by his reaction, nor did he continue to ask him anything. He waited until he calmed down a little before he slowly spoke: "The person who tied the bell can untie it. To break this damn curse, we have to rely on the power of that stupid woman. It's a pity that all her power is now sealed ! Although this little girl is her reincarnation, it seems that she hasn't obtained all her power."
"You asked me out just to gossip about these old things? I don't have the time to chat with you." Mo Yi, who seemed to have calmed down, tried to cover up the ups and downs in his heart with a sarcastic tone, but was still betrayed by his slightly hoarse voice.
Fortunately, the other party did not intend to dwell on this topic. He glanced at Mo Yi and continued, "When you used me as bait for the Shamo people before, I was lucky enough to catch a live person. I used the mind-reading technique to read his memory and learned so many things. It is said that Yao Ji cursed herself and became possessed. It was really retribution. Several elders of their Shamo joined forces to destroy her body, but her soul was sealed. I heard that it is now sealed somewhere in Shamo City. Our Nayu clan needs Yao Ji's power to get rid of this five hundred years of curse. Now the only way is to let that little girl get power, and in order for her to get all of Yao Ji's power, we must take her to Shamo City to let her soul and body merge into one."
"I will naturally find a way to deal with these things, so don't worry about it." Mo Yi turned around and wanted to leave, but the other party blocked his way.
"That little girl can't control the powerful force of the Sha Mo wizard in her body by herself. Your previous experiment has failed. As smart as you are, you should know that her mortal body can't withstand that powerful force! If you let it go, she will get burned by playing with fire if she is not careful!" Zhuo Wei's tone was a little angry. He didn't expect that the person in front of him would be so stubborn.
Mo Yi paused, as if seeing through Mo Yi's hesitation, Zhuo Wei's voice became more and more sharp: "This is the opportunity that our Nayu people have waited for five hundred years. Don't miss it because of your womanly kindness! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of those fellows who died under your knife!"
The last sentence struck Mo Yi like a bolt of lightning. Unexpectedly, a familiar face appeared in front of Mo Yi. Yes, that was the friend who died unjustly under his knife because of the curse. Yes, if he missed this opportunity, how could he be worthy of his friend who exchanged his life for his eternal life!
However, that stubborn and charming figure from five hundred years ago, those dusty past events from five hundred years ago, replayed in Mo Yi's mind, and what finally stayed in his mind were the clear eyes of Ying Lili. She looked at him with such clear and trusting eyes, and confessed her identity to him...
If the moment of war really came, would he be able to have the heart to break up with her and the past five hundred years ago?
Mo Yi's heart was in a state of confusion. Finally, after a struggle between reason and emotion, he slowly raised his head and said, "Tell me how to get back to the Void World."
