Chapter 568 So You Are a Female?

It was quiet.

Everything was quiet.

Mikael, who had rushed to the scene, opened his mouth three times in a row, but could not say anything.

What could he say? What could he say?

Every time he tried his best to find what he wanted to say, Ling Shuang's weak and half-dead "Master's Wife" kept circulating in his mind.

"Heh..."

It seemed that any response was wrong, and it seemed that any response was pale and powerless.

If you want to resolve a boring misunderstanding, the most effective response is not to deny it immediately, but to neither admit nor deny it, and just pretend that it doesn't matter.

How can it be indifferent?

Mikael rubbed his depressed eyebrows. Ling Shuang's words really caught him off guard, but the most important thing now is to stabilize the emotions of the youngest person present.

Turning his head, Mikael saw that the Herrscher of Knowledge was also looking at him with a very strange look.

That look... apart from the madness and anger that couldn't be dissipated so easily, if I were to describe it in words, it would probably be -

"Huh? So you're a female?"

It's not impossible...

Mikael waved his hand quickly, sighing again.

"Let's not talk about anything else, Hua, there are some things that are better for the two of us to discuss alone. I'll go and drive them away first, do you have any objections?"

Fearing that Ling Shuang would either not speak or shock people to death when she spoke, Mikael couldn't help but say more, so he hurriedly greeted the Herrscher of Knowledge and landed in front of Ling Shuang and Su Shang alone.

And the lethality of that "Hua" was the same as expected. Even though a series of denials made the Herrscher of Knowledge want to abandon her persistence and degenerate to the primitive impulse of accepting the identity of "Herrscher", her emotions stabilized a lot with Mikael's vague and ambiguous affirmation. At least she was willing to listen to Mikael now.

However, whether he was willing to obey or whether he didn't know what to do and could only listen to Mikael, this was not something Mikael could know.

Perhaps even the Herrscher of Knowledge himself couldn't tell.

"Hello, Master's Wife. Long time no see. Did you bring any gifts? If not, please go back."

As soon as Mikael landed, Ling Shuang offered three critical strikes with dead fish eyes.

"I'm sorry."

Mikael's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head obediently, and then turned neatly, with his back to the master and apprentice.

"I didn't bring any gifts, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Su Shang looked at the slightly twitching corners of her master's eyes, and the legendary man in front of her stopped in the air and didn't take a step forward... With a sigh of despair, Su Shang patted her full forehead hard, then boldly grabbed Mikael's collar and pulled him back.

"Mikael, Lord of the World Snake, the Rakshasa mentioned you before me, but looking at Master's reaction just now, I think I should call you... uh, Master, what was the name of Master's spouse?"

"Grandmother."

"Oh! Grandmother!"

"..."

The psychological defense line gradually collapsed. It was just a title, and it didn't seem to be a big deal.

Moreover... his negotiation with Taixu Mountain did require an identity different from "Lord of the World Snake". Otherwise, to put it nicely, he was meddling in other people's business. To put it bluntly, he colluded with the Herrscher of Knowledge to attack Taixu Mountain and tried to interfere in the internal affairs of Shenzhou.

Daju was the most important thing. If it was for the plan to continue to be implemented until the end, it was not impossible to accept these two shameful titles.

As long as it is beneficial to the final plan...

"First of all, your master and grandmaster are not related in that way. Secondly... Lingshuang, if you have forgotten, I can remind you that five hundred years ago, after that incident, when discussing how to deal with you, your master once said - I am not an outsider in Taixu Mountain. As long as I am willing, the position of deputy sect leader is always reserved for me, right?"

Su Shang did not know what the so-called "that incident" was, but she had some idea in her heart, but she did not experience it personally, so she could only cast a puzzled look at her master.

Lingshuang's eyes drifted silently to the far left of her eye sockets, and then silently moved horizontally to the far right, and she answered calmly:

"Although I think it is more intimate to call you Master's wife, but since you don't want to, forget it."

"Do you really want to tarnish your master's reputation? Please also check the atmosphere."

Mikael was really helpless.

"When I told Master this, Master herself didn't deny it."

"..."

"Also... although I think you should have figured it out with your ability, I still want to remind you that this girl is not her anymore. Her personality has changed drastically, and even her memory is incomplete. As a Herrscher, she is also very uncontrollable. Although she didn't kill other people, she attacked Su Chang and me many times when we were fighting."

"Is that your opinion?"

Mikael's voice was very soft, but surprisingly, it didn't make people feel unconfident. Or, on the contrary, it was a manifestation of overconfidence.

"Yes. Although we have not been together for a short time, Su Shang and I have guessed a lot. Her situation is different from that of the Second Herrscher. She is not a Herrscher transformed by human beings, but a personality directly created by Honkai. Although there have been The example of the First Herrscher is... But even whether to execute the current Second Herrscher is a need It takes months of debate to reach a conclusion. I personally think that the easiest way for the Herrscher of Knowledge is to kill her directly. Of course, the Herrscher of Knowledge appears in the form of occupying the master's body, which is basically the case. It means Master... I can't guarantee that my opinions are not personal."

"..."

"Although I hate to admit it, it seems that Su Shang and I can't do this. But if it were you, you should be able to do it, right? The former No. 1 Herrscher?"

"..."

Two pairs of dead fish eyes stared at each other quietly.

He was also silent, but the corners of Mikael's mouth were slightly pursed.

It's hard not to suspect that it was actually a suppressed smile.

"She seems to like you very much, and she even told you this."

Ling Shuang's dead eyes finally showed some fluctuations, and the outline became slightly rounder, as if someone who was too sleepy to open his eyes was trying to open his eyes as wide as possible.

"No, these are not what she told me, it's just that... the master left something for me."

The eyes that rarely showed emotion were closed, and in such a hurry, there was no time to hide the look of escape.

The moment his vision sank into darkness, even Ling Shuang, who had always been regarded as mean and cold, felt the sourness bursting out of his eyes, and... there was a small amount of liquid occupying the space between the eyeballs and eyelids. space.

I vaguely remember... No, it's not vague at all, it's just that it's still fresh in my memory.

No matter what, that day five hundred years ago is a memory that is impossible to forget.

On that day, after Mikael left, the master took her into the room alone, and the master and apprentice had a conversation that could not be described as brief but not lengthy either.

That's right, that's the time... "Master, you don't have a good eye for men."

To this day, when she thinks of those clever words, she can't help but feel proud in her heart. After all, the other six people could also see it, but she was the only one who spoke it out in front of the master.

But that wasn't the point of that conversation, it was...

The master said that he would pass on the mantle to her. What is the mantle?

"The so-called mantle is not a skill or wealth, it is just a secret... about me and about more people, it is just a dusty past."

This is what the master said.

"Although there is no enemy in this world that requires me to use all my strength to deal with it in a short period of time, once it gets to that point, all my memories of the past five thousand years will be burned away. I don't want to find it with great difficulty. A little something...and...heh."

Even if she recalled it five hundred years later, Ling Shuang still remembered every word her master said, even the subtle changes in her expression when she said these words.

She also understood that those words were not against her. If something like that hadn't happened, the person the master wanted to pass on the mantle to most would definitely be the senior sister. It was just a coincidence that she endured all this.

"Ling Shuang, I will hand over to you a Yu Duchen feather that carries most of the memories about 'him'. There are two reasons for this: the first is as mentioned above, and the second is that if I Being forced to the point where he needs to burn his memory, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one to fight. At this time, I don’t want to hesitate because of this memory. It is now, it will be in the near future, and it will still be in the farther future. Therefore, even if I lose my memory, you don’t need to use this feather in the process of regaining my memory. Leave it to me, just keep it and keep it, maybe it will come in handy one day.”

Could it be... is now the day when it will come in handy?

Ling Shuang breathed a long sigh of relief.

From the moment she fell into memories, she felt a familiar sense of voyeurism.

The source of the peeping is not the Herrscher of Consciousness who stays in the sky. If she could do this, she would have done it before, not to mention the "feeling" is different.

Feeling, feeling, feeling... say important things three times.

Feeling is something that is difficult to describe, so I won’t describe it. In short, it’s just a feeling. If you don’t ask, it’s a feeling. If you ask, it’s still a feeling.

Her feeling told her that the sense of voyeurism originated from that man, and the elimination method also gave the same result. He could do things that the Herrscher of Consciousness could not do. It can only be said that this man was good at both the quality and the power of the Consciousness Power. He who masters the law of Shandu is far superior to consciousness.

"That's it..."

Mikael's eyes narrowed into two curved slits, but he soon "awakened" and opened his eyes again, but everything in his eyes disappeared.

Whether it’s joking, looking forward to it, being tired, or dodging...

"Give it to me."

Mikael stretched out his hand in front of Ling Shuang.

"I was still thinking before, why the memory of the Herrscher of Consciousness was still missing even though I had found all the Yu Duchen feathers that carry memories. I originally thought that memory was in the root where Hua's own consciousness was. I didn’t expect that she would give that memory to you.”

"Um?"

Ling Shuang's vision became dangerous in the blink of an eye.

"What do you mean? Collect Yu Duchen's feathers...what do you want to do?"

Although he had realized that "this feather might exist just for this day", whether to give this feather to a dangerous person like Mikael was a question worth discussing.

After all, Mikael's image in Ling Shuang's eyes has never been very good.

When he first appeared, he took away the master's favor from everyone. Of course, this is a personal grudge, so let's not talk about it for now.

Not long after, he single-handedly directed a tragedy with hundreds of thousands of casualties in Klosten.

Although the master did not deny his close relationship with Mikael, he also did not deny the fact that the two of them could have reached the point of fighting.

Coupled with Mikael's suspicious words, it was hard not to let Ling Shuang have some suspicions that should not have arisen at this moment.

Looking at Mikael himself, his expression did not change at all. Even though Su Shang had been standing beside him with a sword in silence, he did not show even a little guilty look.

"What do I want to do? Isn't this natural? I want to awaken Hua's consciousness with all her memories."

Sometimes it's sincere, sometimes it's full of deception. Sometimes Mikael himself can't tell what the words that come out of his mouth belong to. But it doesn't matter. Since it's for the purpose of reaching that ending, even the worst lies can be done with a clear conscience.

Since there is a clear conscience, at least in the eyes of others, these words can be regarded as sincere.

"Seriously?"

Yu Duchen's feather has been grasped by Ling Shuang, but her expression seems to still have some distrust.

"Awakening with memory... a person who may have died, is this really possible?"

No, of course not.

If it's just relying on memory, it's naturally impossible.

Reality is not a middle school hot-blooded boy's manga. Relying on the idealistic structure, as long as the belief is firm and the will is strong, the impossible can become possible...

However, Mikael didn't want to do this.

At least what he is going to do next is not this kind of thing.

"I can do it, of course I can. The power of the Ruler of Reason is to turn the impossible into the possible, isn't it?"

Nodding without comment, Ling Shuang finally stopped hesitating.

She raised her hand and placed a brand new feather in Mikael's palm.

"Don't get me wrong, I still can't believe you. But now, I think there is no other choice but to do what you say."

"..."

"What's next, how do we leave here?"

"I'll stay here, after all, there's still unfinished business between her and me. But I can send you and those guys back to the real world first - ah, I have to say, when you get outside, don't do anything bad to my body while I can't move!"

"...Are you sick?"

Mikael suddenly put on a playful expression.

The same words, spoken from the mouth of the Ruler of Knowledge, and from the mouth of Ling Shuang, who stared with dead eyes and half-dead tone, really felt different.

"Oh, one last thing - there should be a kitten outside. You should have seen it, Paddington. Can you take care of her?"
