"cut!"

"Cut it, please cut it!" Shen Lin asked loudly.

"No." Xi's cold voice came from under the mask, but no matter how he heard it, Shen Lin could feel the smile in it. "If I don't take off my mask, I can't go out. Once I go out, it will harm you. It's better not to be caught by others and hurt your feet."

"But...but the only person I can think of is you." Shen Lin looked at Xiang Xi pleadingly, but of course his words were a little weak.

"Go find your mother."

"Mom said I can find someone to protect me, but it's impossible to help me do things." Shen Lin shook his head. He knew where the person was, but had no way to save him. This feeling was so powerless. At the same time, Shen Lin also hated himself for being so useless.

Seemingly sensing Shen Lin's loss, Xi looked at him steadily for a long time and then said, "As long as you can bear to admit yourself, I can take off my mask in front of you and go out to help you, but the question is, do you dare?" "

It’s that question again, do you dare? Shen Lin had never thought that just a mask could make him hesitate. If an ordinary girl asked him under normal circumstances, he would naturally say yes without hesitation. No matter how scary the mask is, it is still a human face. , there is nothing to be afraid of.

But when he arrived at Xi, Shen Lin was frightened for some reason. It seemed that something earth-shattering would happen after he saw the mask.

"Think about it carefully, I'm not in a hurry." Xi shook her head in disappointment. In fact, her mood was quite complicated. On the one hand, she wanted Shen Lin to take off her mask, but on the other hand, she was unwilling to let anyone take it off. , if it weren’t for her specialness...

Shen Lin didn't answer. He was in a hurry. In fact, he only had about half an hour. Half an hour was already too much for a man to take a bath. If it was more, people would inevitably be suspicious, so he had to finish it within half an hour. He has to go back from the shower, so he doesn't have much time left!

After turning his mind around, Shen Lin looked up at Xiang Xi, "Can I ask, what will happen if I take it off? From the beginning, you cared so much about the mask, and then you seemed to want others to take off your mask. Don't you Can I take it off myself?”

Xi didn't speak, just looked at him steadily, or maybe she couldn't answer this question at all.

Damn it!

Shen Lin gritted his teeth and turned his head crazily, "Xiaoguan, is there any knowledge in your memory related to such a mask?"

"No, although there is a slight resemblance to a race called Faced Demons, Faced Demons only attach so much importance to masks because all their strength lies in their masks. Even if it is a Masked Demon's mask, it does not mean that it cannot be taken off. As long as you are around, it will be fine." The small hall is indeed a relic from ancient times, and its profound knowledge is far beyond what Shen Lin can measure.

"Does it mean that as long as I take off her mask, she will become an incompetent person? But that's not right. How can she help me in this case? She said she would only go out to help me if I take off her mask." Shen Lin He denied it in his heart.

Looking at Xiang Xi carefully, he saw that time was running out. A drop of cold sweat ran down Shen Lin's forehead, but he unexpectedly found that the other party was not as relaxed as he thought, but instead his whole body was tense.

What is she nervous about?

in a hurry? No, there's nothing to rush about.

Answer? She was also nervous about what my answer would be? Thinking about how much the other party valued the mask, Shen Lin felt more and more that this judgment was correct.

Shen Lin wanted to see from the other person's eyes whether he wanted to pick it or not, but he was disappointed. There was no fluctuation in Xi's eyes, as if the answer was the same to her no matter what.

"I'll take it off!" In the end, the desire to save people was greater than the fear of the unknown. Shen Lin gritted his teeth and finally decided to take off the other party's mask and let the other party help him.

"Oh~ after thinking about it for so long, have you finally made a decision? Aren't you afraid of the savage beast behind the mask?" Xi's hand shook, then quickly adjusted, and teased Shen Lin.

"This has never been my worry, but there is a feeling in my heart that if I take off your mask, my life will be shattered, so I am afraid to move, but now there are two innocent girls waiting I couldn't stand still because I was afraid of the unknown danger ahead, so I decided to take it off.

"Even if my future life will be full of thorns, I believe that I will be able to overcome them and control my own future in my own hands!" Shen Lin explained seriously and sincerely looking into Xi's eyes.

"Um, okay, you can pick it according to my method now. I hope you won't regret it." For some reason, Shen Lin felt that Xi's eyes were much gentler when he looked at him. It felt like he was looking at his old lover. , Shen Lin started to sweat when he saw it.

Xi carried Shen Lin to the bed, and the two sat opposite each other.

A clear fragrance instantly enveloped Shen Lin. Different from Su Wan's elegance and Shen Miao's temptation, Xi's fragrance was as gentle as water, gentle and without any feeling of passion. What kind of woman is this?

"Okay, don't think about those things that are there or not. Since you are pressed for time, let's hurry up. Stretch out your hand." Xi gently patted Shen Lin, who was still in a daze, to wake up and said softly.

Shen Lin didn't know how to deal with a woman who was suddenly very gentle to you. He quickly held out his hands, as if he was asking a teacher for a lesson when he was a child. Xi couldn't help but feel amused.

Xi took out a small knife from somewhere and cut his finger, but contrary to common sense, a lot of blood seemed to spill out. Without hesitation, he grabbed Shen Lin's left hand and drew circles and circles of mysterious patterns on it using his fingers as a pen and blood as ink.

Shen Lin wanted to ask what these things were, but he quickly held back the seriousness in Xi's eyes, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out.

About five minutes later, the pattern was completely presented in front of Shen Lin, but for some reason, Shen Lin always felt that the pattern seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Xiaoguan would have immediately recognized that these were words containing information about the way of heaven. This was the shape that was formed when she signed the contract with Shen Lin. Of course, there is another place where the text is summoned from the void when the books inside the library are formed. Of course, that kind of text is much lower-level than these.

"Are you okay?" Shen Lin felt that Xi's hand holding him was slightly loose and asked immediately.

"Wait." Xi's voice became much weaker for some reason, but she still held Shen Lin's hand with one hand, and poked his hand with the other hand in an unknown trajectory, and kept saying " He muttered words that Shen Lin couldn't understand clearly. Of course, even if he heard them clearly, he wouldn't understand them.

As Xi continued to slide, the fonts on Shen Lin's hand that originally used Xi's blood as patterns lit up one by one. Shen Lin felt that the palm of his hand was getting hotter and hotter. Eventually, it felt like he had been burned by several sticks. The red iron needle pricked Shen Lin's hand. But even so, Shen Lin did not flinch. On the one hand, the initial pain in his leg due to the injury had made him accustomed to it. Even now, his leg still feels a dull pain.

On the other hand, Shen Lin felt that Xi was getting weaker and weaker, and it might even seem like Xi would collapse as long as he exerted one more force.

Seemingly sensing Shen Lin's forbearance, Xi raised her head and glanced at Shen Lin gratefully, but of course Shen Lin didn't see it at all. Instead, my already sore lips turned white and my face turned blue because of the pain.

It wasn't until the last rune lit up that Shen Lin felt the pain in his hand completely disappear, followed by waves of numbness. "Huh, it's finally done. Now you can learn the few mudras I taught you in the shortest possible time."

Regardless of her own weakness, Xi forced herself to sit up and form five mudras with both hands in front of Shen Lin. It was not too difficult. Shen Lin could do it after seeing it two or three times. After all, he had practiced it while watching Naruto. Although it's not very accurate.

But then Xi asked Shen Lin to tie five seals consecutively within two seconds, which was very painful for Shen Lin. Each knot was not too difficult, but some movements would be interrupted if you were a little hasty. Shen Lin had to do it more than ten times before compressing the time to less than two seconds.

As the seal was successfully formed, Shen Lin followed Xi's instructions and shouted out the word "coagulate" on the third seal and "break" on the fifth seal. Suddenly, Shen Lin felt the blood in his body flow continuously. accelerate! The beating of the heart is also accelerating!

There is another chapter that will be written very late, because I have something to do today, so I wrote it late, but as promised, I will stay up all night today to finish that chapter!
