【Windless】Wan Muchun

Chapter 13 13. Different Ways

The spiritual system set by the goblin, the breath of wind broke free even earlier than Infinity—everything that he feared in the depths of his heart, such as losing his hometown, killing his companions, and failing in the struggle, he had never experienced.When the misery and powerlessness of reality far exceeds the refraction of the illusion, all kinds of magic circles that confuse the mind are nothing but magic circles.

However, without unlimited protection, Feng Xi hardly had time to resist, and was dragged into the gap in the space.He has been wandering around Qinxi with Infinity for the past few days, and he recognized at a glance that this is near an artificial lake in the south, far away from the northern mountain where the two fought just now, and almost spans the entire town.

Feng Xi was puzzled. Unlike the teleportation gate that can span thousands of miles, what this goblin has set up is just the simplest teleportation array, and the limit is to travel a hundred meters.Although he didn't know how the other party did it, he also understood why the goblin was able to escape the dual pursuit of the guild hall and humans even though he had been trapped in the small place of Qinxi for many days-this magic circle set up in advance was not only It is only used to disturb people's hearts, and it hides countless teleportation circles in it, and the illusion connects the world. I am afraid that the entire Qinxi is a place for him to come and go freely.

Before he could think more, he took a picture of a brick wall of a nearby dwelling.Feng Xi couldn't dodge in time, so he had to summon the rattan to barely block the top of his head, and curled up to take the blow forcefully.The goblin's cultivation base and combat experience are very average. In the past, it is not infinite to fight head-on, even if she can finish it in minutes.However, he was just a little demon with low spiritual power now, and the thin rattan quickly fell apart under the heavy pressure, and the earth, rocks and bricks were smashed down.

In the flying dust, Feng Xi endured the severe pain, lying motionless in the stone pile.He originally thought that the other party held him hostage to restrain Wu Wu, but the attack just now was definitely not about taking hostages, it was completely about taking his life.

The space gap opened just now is still there, and the only safe place is around Infinity.Feng Xi held his breath and waited for a while, the goblin came forward to check his situation, he took the opportunity to throw a few wooden needles and attacked the opponent's front door, taking advantage of the moment the opponent was distracted to deal with it, he took a step into the illusion.

The moment he passed through the magic circle, the scenery around him distorted and changed like the reflection on the bubbles, but Feng Xi was stunned.The exit of the teleportation array has changed, and he has not returned to the original position.

This is an alley next to the pedestrian street, and the magic barrier unfolded is like a ripple of water, separating the noisy voices not far away.Feng Xi was hit by several sharp stones on his calf and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, the goblin had already chased him.The gravel and sand whirled and gathered in his vainly opened palm, gradually condensing into a sharp blade.

In the dim light, Feng Xi finally saw the appearance of the other party clearly - he was not a vicious person, this goblin looked more like an ordinary human being, with gray hair, hale and hearty, wearing half-rim glasses, and even became a fugitive During the exile, the buttons on the collar of the shirt were also meticulously fastened.

"Feng Xi, you are not dead."

Feng Xi was stunned, it turned out that the other party was not an infinite enemy, but came for him.However, he was convinced that he didn't know this person, and he couldn't ask the question directly, so he could only show the panic expression of a child: "I'm not..."

"I've seen your picture." The goblin said coldly, "And didn't that executor call you that?"

It was useless to justify, Feng Xi sat on the ground, while retreating in horror, while quickly analyzing the current situation.The formation formed by this goblin is even more complicated than he imagined. It must be a coincidence of the unique knowledge of Dunjia, connecting several transmission formations with distorted space, so that it can teleport such a long distance and constantly change according to the weather. Location.

Feng Xi was amazed that the other party could use such a crude method to set up such a huge and precise giant magic circle, but his mouth felt bitter.Now his life is hanging by a thread, if Infinity misjudges the situation like he did at the beginning, thinking that the purpose of this goblin is just to hold hostage, then he will be really in danger.Moreover, once trapped in the magic circle, Feng Xi does not expect Infinity to find the right way out - after all, they are existences that can get lost in shopping malls, and it is strange to find them in this labyrinthine changing illusion.

He has only dabbled in the study of numerology, but at this moment, he can only earn a living by himself.Three auspicious and five evil, yin and yang mixed together, Fengxi deduced from the directions of the previous several transmissions, and avoided the flying stones with a short body, and broke into the "Sheng" gate in the northeast ridge.Before he could catch his breath, the vines on his wrist shot out, and attacked Fuyin and Shensha in the formation here, the illusion around him suddenly dissipated, and a corner of the formation collapsed as expected.

The goblin came after him at this time, with a surprised expression flashing across his face: "You can actually..."

Life-saving was the most important thing, Feng Xi couldn't care less about the disguise, and took advantage of the other party's stunned few seconds, and jumped to the next gap in space again.I don't know if it was because he was lucky, or because the goblin didn't expect that he still had the strength to break the formation, so he succeeded in a short time.Fengxi did the same thing, destroying the Sheng, Xiu, and Kai three auspicious gates one after another, but there was no clue about the remaining five evil gates.With a probability of three out of eight, infinity is not encountered.

Before Feng Xi could lament his bad luck, the attacks came one after another.The stone bricks under his feet flew up suddenly, but his young and injured body didn't have time to react, and he was directly knocked down to the ground, firmly held down by several stone slabs.The ribs that had been broken before were suddenly squeezed, and he was so painful that he almost fainted on the spot, and he couldn't even move.

The stone blade stabbed head-on with the sound of the wind, the wind barely protected his neck, and the knife pierced into his wrist fiercely, the bloody blade was deflected a little, and a cut was made on his collarbone.Feng Xi looked at the angry face that was close at hand, and blurted out almost subconsciously: "You are...Professor Zhuang!"

——Zhuang Shimin, male, 70 years old, formerly a professor at Longyou University and a senior researcher at the Institute of Science and Technology Information. He fled yesterday on suspicion of stealing state secrets. Citizens are requested to actively cooperate and provide clues.

He had a pretty good memory, and when he was dying, the flashing scrolling news on the webpage rushed out of his memory.The goblin was taken aback when he heard the words: "You know me?"

"I've seen...your arrest warrant..."

"Wanted warrant? Hahahaha..."

Zhuang Shimin laughed out loud suddenly, almost unreliable.Feng Xi reckoned that he had said the wrong thing, and it was not a good idea.Sure enough, countless spiritual hairs shot out from Zhuang Shimin's body, which was a harbinger of the psychic goblin's ability to go berserk.

Feng Xi was shocked, but he was pressed to the ground by several stone slabs, and there was no way to hide. Zhuang Shimin's compulsive "empathy" invaded his mind like the strong water pressure in the deep sea.

...Also born in the mountains and forests, he was not interested in cultivation and spells since he was a child. Instead, he liked the lifeless machines in the villages below the mountain.After wandering around for several years, he was adopted by a human couple. He lived like a real human cub, went to school, took the college entrance examination, and went all the way to the top Longyou University, where he stayed to teach after graduation.

Time flies like flowing water, and he has gradually become one of the most outstanding scholars in this field. The world is full of peaches and plums, and the spring is everywhere. Even the director of the Institute of Science and Technology Information, he should respectfully call him "Professor Zhuang" when he sees him.

——Until the Longyou incident happened.

His research direction is the country's high-level secrets, secrets of the same level, the existence of goblins, and the fact that he is also a goblin.He is quick-witted and kind-hearted, and has made outstanding contributions to human science, and the high-level human beings are also willing to entrust him with important responsibilities.However, the suddenly expanded field suddenly opened up another side of the world, powerful goblins, disgruntled rebels, and uncontrollable forces.He clearly no longer regards himself as a goblin, but in the end he was hostile, expelled and monitored because of this almost forgotten identity.

Originally, at the beginning of the suspension, he still had a glimmer of hope, but five years of unemployment and house arrest only made him more desperate day by day.Finally, he strangely mobilized his psychic power, hurt the human being in charge of monitoring him for the first time, and fled Longyou in a hurry.

He loves his own research and human science, and devotes everything to it, but in the end he lost everything forever because of a strange family member and an unwarranted crime.

"I lost everything." The old man held up the stone blade high, but his eyes were full of sadness, "but you... are still alive!"

Because of the pain and blood loss, Feng Xi's eyes turned black, and he could only speak reluctantly: "Why...don't you go to the guild hall for...help..."

"The guild hall likes Hesi Mui the most, don't you know that too?"

The old man smiled contemptuously, but Feng Xi was stunned for a moment, and finally had nothing to say.

He only thinks of a goblin who must hide in the crowd and cannot be free, but he has never expected that there are people of the same race who are so willing to enjoy it.

And when he decided to embark on that road, the ones he hurt were not only Xiao Hei, Hua Hu, Si Lao, and Min Xiang, but also the more than 500 goblins in Longyou City who lived and worked in peace and contentment, and those who were expelled like Zhuang Shimin... The same race that produced cutting-edge technology and core fields of human beings.

"Sorry……"

Feng Xi murmured, and a huge cracking sound sounded at this moment, followed by terrified screams and chaotic footsteps.He barely raised his eyes, but saw a bright sword light, piercing the gloom and twisted illusion.

The anger on the strongest executor seemed to condense into a solid body, and the expression on his face was so familiar that he was in a trance—it was Long You's domain battle back then, and he broke into the white sky desperately for Xiao Hei.

"Breath of the wind—!!"

The stone blade pierced down suddenly, and Infinite felt that even his heartbeat stopped for a moment.With a sharp wind sound, the iron piece knocked the strange goblin to the ground, but it was still a step too late.

As expected by Feng Xi, Infinity was trapped in the maze for a long time, and he did not find the correct path.When he sensed that Zhuang Shimin's spiritual power was out of control, he cut off the spiritual power connection of the entire magic circle in desperation.The barrier of magic power disappeared, and the figures of the three people were suddenly exposed.This is the edge of the central square. The swordsmen falling from the sky, the floor tiles flying up, and the metal vibrating inexplicably are all frightening.

The panicked crowd fled in all directions, but Infinity didn't pay attention to this. He just rushed forward, removed the heavy stone slabs, and carried Feng Xi out.The little child's eyes were closed, covered in blood, lying motionless in his arms, only his chest rose and fell slightly.

— still alive.

Only then did Infinity let out a long sigh of relief. It turned out that the sharp stone blade just wiped Feng Xi's side neck and sank into the ground, without hurting him at all.

The dream was dark and chaotic, with blood and sword light intertwined, and the faces of both enemies and friends were blurred.He vaguely felt that he had given up something important, but he couldn't think of it. The only real thing was that someone was holding his hand, firmly pulling him out of the undercurrent of despair and pain.

Feng Xi slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a piece of clean white, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

"you're awake."

Infinity sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at him, his voice slightly hoarse.Feng Xi nodded, and tentatively moved his limbs, only to realize that his hand had been held in the palm of Infinity.

The palms of human beings are warm and dry, and the palms are full of hard calluses from years of holding swords, wrapping all his curled fingers in it, bringing the most primitive sense of security.All kinds of things in the dream were recalled in an instant, making Feng Xi stunned for a while.Unlimited saw his blank expression, thought he hadn't recovered, so he said softly: "We are all here, don't be afraid."

A group of black cats lay beside the pillow, raised their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Fengxi woke up, jumped out of bed happily, and turned into a white-haired boy again: "Fengxi!"

"……Um."

Feng Xi responded, and infinitely squeezed his hand lightly: "It's fine."

Because Feng Xi was always afraid of the environment of Longyou Guild Hall, he chose a nearby human hospital for treatment.The executors of the life department would come to check on his situation every few days, and on the day Feng Xi was able to walk on the ground, Pan Jing also came with the car.

Unlimited knew that the other party must have something to say, so he told Xiao Hei a few words, and walked out of the ward with Pan Jing.The two stood at the corner of the safe passage, Pan Jing rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice, "Master Unlimited, it's your fault for Feng Xi's injury this time."

Infinity lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Yes."

"In addition, you destroyed [-] residential houses, a section of street more than [-] meters long, and flew illegally over the town, causing irreparable damage to a second-level cultural relics protection unit... and the central square Thousands of people who are watching the performance on the Internet have all witnessed the scene where the three of you appeared out of thin air..." Pan Jing scrolled through the long list on his phone, feeling that the hair on his sideburns was turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye. "It should have been written in the email, this mission is special, please keep your movements as small as possible."

"...ashamed."

Pan Jing sighed. On the surface, the Demon Spirit Club looked like nothing, but the actual management was really troublesome. It was not the first time he had dealt with the mess for these executors.Fortunately, Jiu Lao's team was nearby at that time. Originally, they were here to help deal with the traces and prevent human police from intervening, so they were a great help.

"The matter of Qinxi has been suppressed, and I hope Master Wu will act more cautiously in the future." Pan Jing warned again, and finally said the main point of this trip, "That goblin—his name is Zhuang Shimin—want to Meet with the wind alone."

Infinite suddenly frowned.

Seeing his refusal written all over his face, Pan Jing hastily added: "We will absolutely guarantee Fengxi's safety."

"But Feng Xi was injured by him just now, and it may be exciting to meet again." Infinity still shook his head, "He hasn't had time to establish a relationship with others, I don't want him to be afraid of goblins."

The other party's words were not unreasonable, but Pan Jing hesitated for a moment, and still said the real reason: "Professor Zhuang is very important to the guild... This meeting is a condition for his cooperation. I hope you can persuade Feng Xi."

Infinity thought for a while: "Then I will accompany him."

"Professor Zhuang asked the hall not to monitor and monitor."

This time, Infinity was silent for a long time, and when Pan Jing thought he would not answer, he slowly opened his mouth: "If Feng Xi doesn't want to see him, I won't force it."

"Thank you."

Pan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, the two said goodbye briefly, turned around and returned to the ward.

Fengxi's ward is a VIP single room, located at the end of the corridor, with the medicine storehouse and treatment room on both sides, and it is very quiet on weekdays.But now, even through the door, Unlimited can hear the cheerful laughter inside.

He hesitated at the door for a while, then slowly opened the door.The house is filled with the smell of trees, as if returning to the forest.Tiny vines climbed out of the window, spreading fine green leaves along the window lattice; deep purple flowers bloomed from Fengxi's fingertips, rose up to the ceiling, and then slowly fell down again.

The two were so engrossed in playing that they didn't even notice his presence.Infinite has not seen such a childish joy on his apprentice's face for a long time, and Feng Xi is no longer the bewildered expression when he just woke up.It wasn't until all the petals fluttered to the ground that Xiao Hei finally saw him: "Master!"

Unlimited nodded, walked to the hospital bed and sat down, the smiles on the faces of the two children had not dissipated, making him more and more at a loss as to how to speak.However, Feng Xi is still ignorant, but Xiao Hei's intuition is as keen as ever: "What did Director Pan say?"

"It's Fengxi." Infinity stroked Fengxi's hair, "That goblin... wants to see you."

Feng Xi was startled, and slowly raised his head: "Does he still want to kill me?"

"I don't know." Unlimited said honestly, "If you don't want to, you can refuse."

"Does Infinity want me to see him?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask such a question, remembering Pan Jing's instructions infinitely, and slowly said: "...Think."

Feng Xi nodded: "I see."

He lowered his eyebrows when he spoke, so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.Unlimited is not good at comforting others, and felt a little frustrated for no reason, and just said: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you this time."

The meeting place was set in a conference room of the hospital. An enforcer escorted Zhuang Shimin to come first. Although he was a prisoner, his attitude was very respectful.

Infinity stood aside and watched with cold eyes, personally inspecting Zhuang Shimin's shackles and the device that restricts spiritual energy, the latter didn't make any resistance, and only said suddenly when he was about to leave: "Master Infinity also dabbles in Qimen Dunjia? "

Infinite frowned inexplicably: "No."

"You're taking the liberty." Zhuang Shimin lowered his gaze, stood up and bowed deeply to Infinity, "I heard that you are his guardian, I am really very sorry."

Unlimited paused, and finally turned and left the conference room without saying anything.Xiao Hei was guarding the door, the worry on his face couldn't be concealed at all, he sighed infinitely, and could only say words of relief: "We are all next door, he won't harm Feng Xi."

"Hmm..." Xiao Hei nodded, but he was still a little worried.After Infinity and the executor turned around, a black squeak noiselessly squeezed through the crack of the door and rolled into the shadow in the corner.

Feng Xi pushed open the door of the meeting room, went to sit down opposite Zhuang Shimin.He was too short, even if he sat up straight, he could barely poke his head out from behind the table, which looked a little funny.But neither of them smiled, Zhuang Shimin's eyes flicked over the gauze on his left wrist, and after a long time, Fang said: "I hurt you, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Feng Xi shook his head, "And you had a chance to kill me in the end, but you didn't."

"Probably... I'm more like a human being." Zhuang Shimin looked down at his hands, and the shackles crackled, "I am bound by rules, and I follow the law as the standard. They say that they are happy and friendly, but when things come to an end, There are a few people who can really kill the killer."

This is obviously not the tone of speaking with a child, Feng Xi's heart is awe-inspiring.When his life was hanging by a thread, he had no other choice. Even if his identity would be exposed, it would be a problem that he would only face after he survived.Feng Xi didn't know how much Zhuang Shimin had guessed, nor how much he had revealed to the guild hall, whether he would threaten or bargain with him in this meeting.Unknown torment and indelible guilt tormented him together, Feng Xi could only lower his gaze, and said: "He is determined to go his own way, use unscrupulous means, and he has caused seniors to do this, so it is only right for you to hate him."

However, Zhuang Shimin shook his head: "The guild hall told me about his experience. I had nothing to escape from Longyou's despair and panic... He must have experienced it before."

Feng Xi was slightly taken aback.

"While I was enjoying the convenience and honor brought by human society, he watched his own forest disappear with his own eyes." Zhuang Shimin looked at him and said gently and solemnly, "We all lost our home .”

The nails suddenly pierced into the palm of his hand, and Feng Xi almost tried his best to maintain a calm expression.Those long-term thoughts and huge guilt were like a torrent, and they were photographed in his mind. He took a deep breath and asked in a disguised way: "Then what will senior... do in the future?"

"The guild is trying to catch up with human technology. I will do my best. Maybe I have the opportunity to restart the previous research..." At this point, he paused, but the depression and loneliness in his eyes could not be concealed.Feng Xi understood what the other party meant, the more advanced the field, the narrower the adaptation area.In terms of scientific research, the gap between goblins and humans is more than three or five steps. "Restart" is easy to say, but I don't know how many hardships and twists and turns there will be.After a moment of silence, Zhuang Shimin finally smiled, "Fortunately, the lifespan of a goblin is long enough, and I should be able to wait until the day when I catch up."

Feng Xi stood up and bowed to him: "I wish you all the best."

Zhuang Shimin nodded slightly, watching the other party turn and leave.When he was about to open the door of the meeting room, he suddenly said softly: "I have forgiven him."

"...!"

Feng Xi trembled all over, the burden of forgiveness was far heavier than the burden of hatred, he gripped the doorknob tightly, unable to utter a word.And behind him, Zhuang Shimin looked at him without blinking, his eyes were calm and gentle: "I also hope...he can forgive human beings."

He stood by the door for a long time, but in the end he didn't look back.
