magician in town

Chapter 89

"Child," the old man looked at her sympathetically, "I am only a subset of Guan Yushan's conscious world. If Guan Yushan leaves too hastily, I will be responsible for saying goodbye to you for him."

"No." Guan Xinyue cried stubbornly, "Don't say goodbye. Even if it's part of it, don't go, stay with me!"

Luo Qi secretly turned his eyes away, he couldn't bear to watch the scene. He had seen Guan Xinyue cry many times, but this time he cried so hard that he couldn't help but feel depressed.He can understand Guan Xinyue's persistence. For the lost relatives, even if they can only keep a part of them, it is better than not being able to trace them at all.

He lowered his head and heard the old man's voice full of regret saying, "Xinyue, although this crystal is a good energy body, it is only enough to maintain my consciousness for a short period of time, and I will dissipate soon. Moreover, That's what death is all about, you should understand. You've grown up, haven't you?"

Guan Xinyue was so weeping that she couldn't speak, the old man said again, "Seeing these outstanding mages, I think you have not only grown up, but also found your own friends. Otherwise, leave behind a granddaughter who likes and cares so much. , I really can’t feel at ease. Your grandma often said that it’s a blessing not to know, but you must figure out everything, being too smart will always add endless troubles.”

Roach raised his head and saw the old man looking at his granddaughter helplessly and worriedly, "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss also stares at you. Do you remember this sentence?"

Guan Xinyue was choked with sobs and refused to answer, Luo Qi sighed beside him, but the old man's misty eyes turned to him, and he was stunned for a moment.The old man continued quietly, "When fighting monsters, be careful not to become a monster yourself."

Roach thought of the few fragments of consciousness of the old man he devoured, and moved his buttocks in the seat uncomfortably. He knew that he hadn't really eaten anything, but his stomach still felt a little nauseous.

"My life has come to an end. In fact, there is nothing to regret. The next thing is the career of you young friends." The old man said.

Roach quickly raised his head again, and the old man looked at them carefully one by one with a kind smile. "I would like to express my gratitude to Guan Yushan for your care of Xinyue. This storage crystal records some of my work data. I hope you can pass it on to Master Pei Shu in Qionglin."

"I will." Du Zhengyi said.

The old man glanced at Guan Xinyue again, "Most of my work data has been encrypted, and the key is in Guan Xinyue's hands, but she doesn't know what the key is. So please give the crystal to Pei Shu At that time, send it together with Guan Xinyue, she will definitely be helpful to Qionglin's decryption."

Luo Qi suddenly realized that this was actually a protective lock that the old man put on for his granddaughter. He might have thought that the person who would look for Guan Xinyue and receive the crystal in the future should be Pei Shu, so he opened it in the conscious world just now. Strange mages storing crystals attack.Storage of thinking fragments with active thinking ability as crystal locks, although it seems a little cruel, is really effective.This is actually a highly intelligent lock. Although the default behavior is to attack mages other than Pei Shu, once it sees that his granddaughter's consciousness is safe and stable, the lock immediately makes more advanced decisions.

He thought about it, and blurted out, "Master Guan, do you work for Master Peishu?"

The old man's smile deepened, "I have worked for him for almost a century."

Just as Du Zhengyi was about to speak, Luo Qi suddenly added another sentence without thinking, "Wouldn't you feel lonely while waiting in the crystal? The time inside seems to be different from the outside world?"

The old man smiled, "I don't have that part of consciousness, those that will produce negative emotions, and many spiritual parts that make people human, I haven't preserved them."

Roach opened his mouth and realized that he had nothing to ask.He glanced at Guan Xinyue, and she heard it too. Although she was still crying, her attachment to this phantom Guan Yushan seemed to have eased a lot.

Du Zheng glared at the nonsense Roach, and continued what he was going to say just now, "Pei Shu is currently in retreat, and I am his student, and I was sent by him to work instead of him."

The old man showed a clear look, and nodded slightly to Du Zheng. "The crystal stores some information about the lotus burner that I traced. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to record and sort out a lot of information."

"You mean that the real culprits behind the Lu Jinfeng case and the Guan Ya case are the lotus burners?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"I have found some evidence, but the chain of evidence is far from complete, so I will not make a conclusion here." The old man said calmly. "I said, the rest is the career of you young people."

Du Zheng nodded to express his understanding.

Guan Xinyue hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you probably don't know about Xinchen's disappearance, do you?"

"Lu Xinchen is missing?" the old man asked slightly sadly.

"Yes." Guan Xinyue said, now she could see that this man was not her grandfather, he was missing many parts.Only now did she understand that Grandpa's shortcoming of irritability, irritability, great joy, and great compassion that could not be completely restrained, although he was upset at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed the most precious truth and freshness.

"Master Guan," Luo Qi couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Is Lu Xinchen also a telepath?"

"Yes." The old mage nodded.

Roach took a breath, "Then why didn't you report her identity?"

The old mage thought for a while, and for the first time showed a confused expression, as if this part of his consciousness was broken.Luo Qi guessed that this part of memory, the real Guan Yushan must not have detailed records.Finally, the old mage said the result of his thinking, "Pei Shu knows."

"Who would want to use Lu Xinchen?" Luo Qi didn't find the answer, and said impatiently, "Although telepaths are scarce, there are actually a lot of them. They will never lack people who work for them. Lu Xinchen also It is unlikely to work for the person who killed his parents and grandfather, so why did they take Lu Xinchen away? What secrets would a child like Lu Xinchen know? She is not yet an adult, and she has not even started to read formally. University!"

"I don't know." The old mage finally said helplessly.

Roach shrank back dejectedly, and muttered, "Maybe we can find some traces from the declassified documents."

"Maybe." The old mage said, turning his loving eyes to his granddaughter again, "Finally, I have one more sentence to tell you on behalf of your real grandpa——Blood blood is meaningless, from the first day I put or When you are a baby in my arms, you are my favorite granddaughter."

Guan Xinyue looked at him, her eyes filled with tears again, she whispered hoarsely, "Thank you, thank you for always loving me, thank you for always being with me."

The few men didn't speak any more, Guan Xinyue said a lot and asked a lot of questions until the energy of the crystal gradually faded.

***

When Guan Yushan finally disappeared, Du Zheng turned his head and saw the tears in Luo Qi's deer eyes. He was shocked, "Damn, you're still crying?"

Roach glared at him, got up silently, and walked out alone.

Du Zhengyi looked at his back suspiciously, and Mahjong, who had been silent all this time, laughed, "I was scratched by my cat."
