Chapter 41 Jin Yu 2

"I haven't hurt anyone." Jin Yu said, wiping away tears, "Why are you holding on to me? I just want to test you. Even if I succeed, what can I do to you? You know that My telepathy is not that strong."

The bone-handled knife was tossed back and forth in Du Zhengyi's hand, Jin Yu avoided her sight, she knew what Du Zhengyi meant. "I did not mean it."

"Didn't you intend to kill me?" Du Zhengyi laughed, as if he had heard a funny joke, "If I was a bit worse, unfortunately I couldn't dodge, and you killed me with a single knife, you probably would Do you really think so?"

"You're so strong, I know, I feel it," she said, barely looking at the knife now.The legendary blood-soaked knife is said to be a symbol of honor. She is not interested in honor, but she likes the feeling when she speaks of honor, as if everything is meaningful, as if the goal she pursues is Worth it, like she's a powerhouse.But she knew that she was a weak person, and when she faced such a powerful force as Du Zhengyi, she was innocent.She couldn't hurt her at all, so what could be wrong with her?

"I can't hurt you at all!" she said out loud, with a righteous accusation in her voice.

"That has nothing to do with whether you can hurt me?" Du Zhengyi said softly, his voice very soft.He was a little tired and bored at the same time, "Originally, everyone can live their lives well, but you can already live a better life than your parents. Even if your parents live in human society, they are better than the older ones." Most human beings are more beautiful, stronger, more agile, and have a longer lifespan. Isn’t that good enough? You voluntarily chose to join the Lotus Burner, and you are willing to pick up a bone-handled knife to kill humans and eradicate dissidents. You have experienced the sacrificial ceremony, so To get a bone-handled knife, isn't it? Has anyone ever forced you? Of course no one, and you're so crazy about carrying something like this with you."

Jin Yu trembled even more, her eyes rolled almost crazily, "I brought this knife because I wanted to..."

"It's because you want to be more aggressive and let them appreciate you more." Du Zhengyi finished what she couldn't say for her, "Did you stab someone with this knife at the sacrificial ceremony?"

"I..." Jin Yu is a beautiful girl, petite and cute, but now her face is full of tears and her eyes are trembling abnormally, her eyes are almost moving crazily, she looks like a lunatic.

Guan Xinyue had been listening by the side, but she didn't choose to sit down because she was nervous. The madness on Jin Yu's face frightened her.She became frightened, and involuntarily took two steps back, leaning against the desk behind her.

"I didn't stab her vitally." Jin Yu cried out, as if she had suppressed an evil spirit in her heart, and now that evil spirit was revived and began to pursue her life.Suddenly she became angry again, and glared at Du Zhengyi angrily, "Why do you know so much? In a secret meeting like the Lotus Burner, no outsider knows the process of the sacrifice!"

But her hysterical anger couldn't last long, she couldn't go on shouting, she let go of this breath, and she cried again, desperately begging Du Zhengyi to let her go. "I didn't kill her! She was going to die, she was going to die when I stabbed her! Her eyes are already blind, her brain is gone, she doesn't even know the pain! I didn't kill her her!"

Guan Xinyue raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Du Zhengyi suddenly raised his eyes, his originally uninterested and careless expression suddenly changed, and he stared closely at Jin Yu.His voice was still steady, but full of pressure, "Tell me clearly, whose eyes are about to go blind, and who blinded his eyes."

Jin Yu no longer had the ability to discern the enemy's expression and intentions, so he replied subconsciously, "It's a woman, I don't know who she is, she was about to die at that time. It was the sage mage who blinded her eyes, he He is the venerable among the lotus burners, and I don't know why he did this!" She couldn't help crying again when she said this, and she no longer had the slightest intention of bluffing, and she spoke incoherently between howling. Said, "I don't know why they did that! She has steel nails in her eye sockets! Why don't they just kill her! I have no choice, if I don't pass the loyalty test, they will kill me too After she died, a membership card of a cake shop fell out of the pocket of her clothes when she was being moved. That cake shop is also a cake shop I often go to, and I will never forget that scene.”

"Don't cry anymore, you have the guts to lie to the lotus burner, and you have the guts to complete that bullshit test, why are you so scared now?"

She shook her head helplessly, covering her face with her hands, "I don't know, I don't know!"

For 5 minutes, Du Zhengyi didn't say anything. During the 5 minutes of rest, she gradually calmed down from the hysterical state. She was also tired from crying. She held her chest to ease her breathing and calmed down. .

"I'll ask you another question. If you answer me truthfully, I may let you go." Du Zhengyi said.

She looked up at him in surprise, wondering if what he said was true, but she was adventurous, and she was willing to go ahead.She adjusted her breathing for a while, nodded and said, "You ask."

"What did you do to Roach?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"Who?" She was stunned for a moment, but Du Zhengyi didn't answer her. She quickly searched in her memory, but still couldn't find the name. "I swear, I've only hurt one person. I haven't done anything to anyone else. At worst, I just made them like me. Does that count as hurt?"

"Roch." Du Zhengyi said, "It was the boy who came with me the last time I came here, who looked younger than me."

Jin Yu looked a little weird, "He?"

"what happened?"

"How could I touch him," Jin Yu said in disgust, "He is a weirdo! I will definitely just avoid him, and I will never do anything to him!"

Du Zhengyi was taken aback, and even subconsciously glanced at Guan Xinyue, as if he wanted to ask if Luo Qi was really that annoying from a female perspective.

Guan Xinyue shook her head shrewdly, fully understanding Du Zhengyi's meaning, "I don't really think he's annoying, he's a very funny person and a good person."

"Of course she doesn't understand, she is a dull human being." Jin Yu said sharply behind the desk, "That person is called Luo Qi, right? He makes me uncomfortable."

"You are not the first telepath to contact him. No one feels uncomfortable with him, and some people don't feel him at all." Du Zhengyi said.

"A telepath can't sense him, isn't that a problem?" Jin Yu asked tit for tat.

Du Zheng was taken aback for a moment, "He is a bit special in this respect."

Jin Yu shook his head, "You don't understand, even if you are such a strong mage with a super spiritual shield, I can at least sense your existence. But Roach, he is like a hollow person. You have to believe me, although I am not a master of ideas, but I also have many special talents, perception of danger is one of my talents. Roach makes me feel dangerous, although I can't say where he is dangerous, but whether it is Whenever, I will never touch him, I just want to hide away from him."

Although Du Zhengyi couldn't understand this fortune-telling nonsense, he believed that what she said was indeed her true thoughts, and all her micro-expressions and physical signs showed the same meaning without any contradiction.

He was lost in thought, and asked for a while, "Is that the first time you saw him that day?"

"It was also the only time I saw him." Jin Yu said.

Du Zhengyi fell silent again, and Guan Xinyue couldn't help but said, "If what she said is true, then...that matter has nothing to do with Roach, at least it wasn't Roach's doing. I told him a long time ago It's clear."

"I'm telling the truth." Jin Yu said quickly, "I don't need to lie."

"You have two choices now," Du Zhengyi said. "Be handed over to Qionglin as the lotus burner, or I will hand you over to the lotus burner and tell them you lied."

Jin Yu's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, her voice was already hoarse from crying, and she screamed in a piercing voice, "Don't you know that the two of them are the same thing now? No matter you send me to Wherever I go, the lotus burners will kill me!"

"Who in Qionglin is the same as the lotus burner?" Du Zhengyi leaned forward with interest, "Make it clear."

Jin Yu hesitated for a moment, but her expression softened instantly.Du Zheng could see clearly that she didn't care about loyalty to Lotus Burner, and she didn't have any motivation worth insisting on. What she wanted was to follow the trend, but when she uttered that name, his heart still trembled.

"Li Xu."

He had guessed the name a long time ago, but it was still uncomfortable to hear it with his own ears.He's been in a mess for the past few days, and he hasn't thought things through so clearly.He has been wondering how Li Xu found out that they got involved in this matter, and he has been wondering where the outpost is.Now everything is clear, as early as the first day they stepped here, Li Xu had already received a report.

Li Xu is the lotus burner, and Zhao Zhiyan may be too. Luo Qi has already discovered it, and he has already hinted at him.But he didn't care, he didn't know how Roach found out, he just took it for granted that Roach's situation made him too sensitive to discrimination.Thinking about it now, perhaps it was because Roach was sensitive to discrimination that he could discover the lotus burner earlier.

"Who else?" he asked.

"I only know Li Xu, and I only contact him. He has the final say on everything, and everyone calls him a sage mage." Jin Yu said, "I'm just a mage who has just reached the level to participate in the action. I will participate in the sacrifice with me." The newcomers to the ceremony, we don't know each other, but they're not going to hold any important positions anywhere because of their age."

Du Zhengyi asked her some other questions, but she really couldn't answer them anymore.

He silently sorted out the information he got. It seemed that everything started when they stepped into the teahouse.Li Xu has been paying attention to everything here, maybe because of his position in the Supreme Committee, maybe because of his status as a lotus burner.They had an accident that night and left the village quickly, the spatial movement was untraceable, but Li Xu was able to meet Ma Jiang and Luo Qi in the tavern.If everything really has nothing to do with Luo Qi, then it means that Li Xu had been collecting information about himself and Ma Jiang earlier, and guessed his whereabouts.Perhaps it is more reasonable to say that he had been collecting information on Archmage Pei Shu early in the morning, and he knew the information on several of his students like the back of his hand.

But why did Li Xu torture and kill Qi Yue, because she killed the mage and violated the taboo of the lotus burner?However, relying on a human being cannot complete the extermination of an archmage family.This is back to the original point, Qi Yue can only be a puppet, and there is a mastermind behind her, if the mastermind is Li Xu, then it will be murder.

But Du Zhengyi's heart suddenly moved, and the word "puppet" flashed back again. He suddenly thought of the true meaning of the word "puppet" in the magical world, and he couldn't help feeling a little chill down his spine.If Li Xu wants to interrogate Qi Yue, if Li Xu wants to force a puppet to break free from the shackles, regardless of the consequences, even if he destroys the puppet to the edge of life and death...

But Li Xu still hasn't found the shadow behind him, he has been chasing after him, letting Guan Xinyue torment, monitoring everything here.Until he and Luo Qi appeared, Li Xu cast suspicious eyes on them, he must have been overjoyed, he might have just dealt with a strange murder case formally.As a result, Pei Shu and his disciples ran head-on, and he immediately understood that there was more involvement, a bigger game.

He shot decisively and set his sights on the strangest Roach.Du Zhengyi thought that Luo Qi was just a smoke bomb at the beginning, and Li Xu probably thought so too, until Luo Qi dug up Qi Yue's body.

To Du Zhengyi, he was actually more surprised than Li Xu. Roach's groundhog not only dug a hole, but he also almost accurately predicted what was in the hole.For him and Roach, the key point of everything is actually the teahouse, not the Guan family's old house, where Roach's "apocalypse" may be obtained.The one with this apocalypse is the frivolous fool in front of her, messing everything up just to find a little sense of superiority.

Jin Yu stopped crying now, but he became more anxious because of his calculating gaze, and reflexively began to pick his nails.

Roach got the revelation from her.He pondered.

"Hmm—" There was a strange voice beside him, Guan Xinyue swallowed nervously when she saw that his attention had been attracted. "Can I ask, what is Curtain Burner? Are you so dissatisfied with human's decoration taste?"
