Offered Into Marriage

Leaving the room of the sick old man, the villagers outside the house also dispersed one after another.

The expressions on their faces were more regrettable than sad or grief.

It seems that for them, death is not a sad thing, but a checkpoint to enter another world.They rejoice if they pass it; if they fail to pass it, they are just regretful.

Because this is a hurdle, a glory, that they will all go through, and only they will go through.

Even when they saw Archibald and Yangyang, they would give them comforting smiles instead.

Yang Yang looked thoughtfully at the backs of the villagers leaving.

"Forget it."

Back in the room, Archibald saw that Yang Yang was still frowning, and he couldn't help comforting him, "Although we may not understand it, for the villagers, this is their way of life."

Yang Yang came back to his senses and glanced at Archibald: "Well, I know."

Archibald smiled at Yang Yang: "Then rest, you have entered the period of labor pains, you may give birth at any time, you must maintain good physical strength."

Yang Yang obediently sat on the bed, kicked off his shoes and nestled back into the quilt, but instead of lying down, looked at the quilt in a daze.

Archibald only thought that Yang Yang's mood was affected, so he sat by the bed and accompanied him: "If you are unhappy, just tell me."

Yang Yang was silent for a while, then looked up at Archibald: "The soul of the old man just now, if the old village chief hadn't killed it, would it have turned into a soul beast?"

Archibald nodded: "Yes."

Yang Yang: "Then if the blue doesn't permeate, is it the real soul?"

This time Archibald hesitated for two seconds before saying: "I don't know, I have never seen such a thing. But I can feel the soul power of the soul beast, it has the soul power of the soul beast since it appeared, but at the beginning It's not as strong as it was later."

"That's because he failed."

Yang Yang recalled the words of the old village head, and said, "Since the old village head and the others are so sure, it is likely that they have seen a soul that has successfully materialized."

Archibald frowned slightly: "Okay, don't think about it anymore."

Yang Yang shook his head: "I don't want to pursue the secrets of the village, but I'm thinking about you."

Archibald was taken aback: "Me?"

Yang Yang: "Yes."

Yang Yang crossed his legs, sat up a little bit straighter, looked at Archibald seriously and said, "Do you know what the medicine I gave that old man is?"

Of course Archibald knew - Yang Yang didn't hide it when he took the "medicine" just now.

"It's the fruit that was tested at Miss Jun's place."

Yang Yang: "That's right, then you also know that the fruit contains the soul power of the soul beast."

Archibald nodded.

Yang Yang raised his eyebrows: "Is there nothing you want to ask me?"

It was the same in the scientific research institute before, and Archibald never asked anything.

Archibald looked at Yang Yang with a serious expression: "If you want to talk, I will listen. But if you don't want to talk, I won't ask."

Yang Yang's heart was burning slightly, a sense of happiness called being trusted filled his chest, with the sweetness of honey, the corners of Yang Yang's mouth could not help but rise.

But Yang Yang was still unsatisfied and wanted to eat candy: "Oh, just trust me like that? If I'm a bad guy who hides deep, aren't you afraid of helping the evildoers?"

Archibald saw Yang Yang's intention to tease him with words, and fed Yang Yang candy in cooperation: "You are not. Even if you are, then I will take you far away, and you come to harm me Just one person will do."

Yang Yang smiled, kicked Archibald's back lightly through the quilt, and asked, "Have you read all the 100 love stories that Uncle Abe gave?"

Archibald's skin is not as thin as before. He turned around and tucked Yang Yang's quilt back, and nodded calmly: "I read a little."

Yang Yang clicked his tongue: "Your Excellency, you seem to be becoming less and less reserved now."

Archibald raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.Then I went back to the previous topic: "You said you were thinking about me, what exactly is it?"

Yang Yang: "This has to start from the beginning, and it's also about a secret of mine. —— But for the sake of being so cute, I'll tell you. But first, give me a copy of your medicine."

medicine?

Archibald paused, feeling a little premonition in his heart: "I want to see if there is any medicinal stone in it?"

Yang Yang didn't deny it: "Yes."

Archibald took out his own medicine and the medicine stone given by the old village chief, but he was also a little puzzled: "The village chief said that the medicine stone needs to be stimulated by the soul power of the soul beast, but I have not been infected by the soul power of the soul beast."

Yang Yang took the medicine and the medicine stone, looked at Archibald in silence for two seconds, and then said, "You have it."

Archibald was startled: "What?"

Yang Yang put the medicine stone into the detector, chose a mode that would not destroy the sample to start the test, and then continued.

"In your soul power, there is the soul power of the soul beast similar to that in the fruit, but the instrument cannot detect the soul power of the soul beast in your soul power. So I wonder if there is a medicine stone in the medicine, which hinders tested together."

Archibald frowned, "How do you know that my soul power has the power of a soul beast?"

Yang Yang: "That's the time to tell my secret. I'll tell you after the test."

……

The test results of the medicine stone and medicine came out soon. ——No soul beast soul power was detected, but the medicine did contain medicinal stones.

There are not many medicinal stones in the medicine, but Archibald does not use it when he is sick like the villagers. He takes it every day.

The accumulation of a little makes a lot, and the dosage is probably much more than that of the villagers.

And no matter how much, since there is a medicinal stone, to stimulate its medicinal properties, you need to take the soul power of the soul beast—but this medicine does not contain it.

Yang Yang took out the medicine stone and medicine, put them back into the box, and asked, "Duke, do you only take this medicine every time you get sick? Will you take other things?"

Archibald knew what Yang Yang wanted to ask.He shook his head.

"In the past, specific powerful medicines were taken for the onset of illness. But when I was 16 years old, I had an early onset in a battle. I didn't have time to take the strong medicine and almost died.

So Uncle Yaqing said that I could not become dependent on the drug, so he built an underwater suppression room.Since then, I have stopped using strong drugs, but the period of onset has also shortened. "

When Yang Yang heard "almost died", his heart tightened suddenly, and he was very distressed.

After a delay of two seconds, Yang Yang asked, "Is there any strong medicine left?"

Archibald shook his head: "No. Uncle Yaqing was afraid that I would overdose, so he strictly divided the doses of the medicine each time, and would take the rest of the medicine with him after the new medicine was replaced. ——But every time the medicine was delivered, Aunt Gu and Miss Jun will also be tested again, and there is no problem."

Yang Yang was silent.

No problem, there are only three possibilities:

[-]. The composition of this medicine stone has other effects, and does not require the stimulation of the soul power of the soul beast.

Second, Gu Lita or Zhang Jun is lying.

[-]. Yaqing moved his hands and feet.

Yang Yang hopes to be the first.

Yang Yang put away the detector, squeezed the box containing the medicine stone and medicine, and said with a smile: "Okay, now let me tell you my secret."

After hearing this, Archibald straightened his back involuntarily, and looked at Yang Yang seriously.

Seeing him like this, Yang Yang couldn't help but want to tease him, so he used a particularly scary opening line: "Actually, I died once——."

……

Yang Yang is not good at telling stories, but his stories don't need any fancy skills to attract people.

When Yangyang's story was finished, Archibald stayed there.

Seeing Archibald's appearance, Yang Yang couldn't help but want to laugh, and stretched out his hand to hook Archibald's chin as if it was strange: "Look at how cute my family is scaring you. Does it make people feel distressed?"

Archibald grabbed Yang Yang's mischievous hand and asked without thinking: "Are you still going?"

Yang Yang was puzzled for a moment, and then realized what Archibald was asking—will you go to another world?

Yang Yang smiled: "I think it should be impossible."

Archibald breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't let go of Yangyang's hand, holding him silently—after listening to Yangyang's story, the sense of disobedience from the time he met Yangyang, Yangyang's nonsense lies, and his love for children Totally healthy confidence, unexplained rot and space...everything has an explanation.

It's just about Yangyang's previous life. Although Yangyang can only sum it up in a few words, Archibald can still imagine that picture.

Doomsday, hunger, disability, cold, strange beasts...

Archibald found it difficult to breathe, and thinking back on his naive fight with Yang Yang at the beginning, Archibald regretted it to death.

After a moment of silence, Archibald said angrily, "I shouldn't scare you with virtual bugs."

Yang Yang immediately understood what he was thinking, and was happy: "It's okay, I didn't treat you very softly back then."

Archibald: "..."

Yang Yang pulled Archibald's hand and kissed it, and said with a smile: "Besides, I am very happy now. ——Okay, to be honest, the reason why I can detect your soul power is to let the child show mercy , and then let the bean sprouts condense into fruits.

As a result of the test, your soul power is similar to the soul power of the soul cube, and the soul power of the soul cube is similar to the soul power of the soul beast.And later the soul power of the medicine stone.

- These are the detected band plots. "

Yang Yang put the comparison chart that Roth had made before on the light screen of the terminal, and he could intuitively see the similarities and differences of several soul power test results.

After reading it, Archibald asked Yang Yang, "What do you think?"

Yang Yang: "I have a very absurd idea."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yang stretched out his fingers, spread out several maps in the light screen, and clicked one by one to arrange them.

Yang Yang: "Before I came to the village, I thought that the soul power of the Soul Cube was a high-level soul power, which could eliminate the negative influence of the soul power of the soul beast.

Then the medicine stone appeared.Its soul power is very similar to that in the Soul Cube, but it adheres to and lurks in the soul power of a person like the soul power of a soul beast, and will not disappear, and even fills up the damage of the human soul palace.

So I thought again, the soul power of soul beasts, the soul power of medicine stones, and the soul power of people, these three may be a cyclic biological chain-soul beasts eat people, medicine stones eat soul beasts, and people eat medicine stones.

But tonight, seeing the old man's soul, I found that there is one more thing to add to this cycle: the soul beast. "

While Yang Yang was speaking, the atlas was also arranged—it was a closed circle.

Yang Yang went over one by one: "The soul beast gives birth to the soul power of the soul beast, the soul power of the soul beast infects people, people eat the medicine stone to fight against the soul power of the soul beast, the medicine stone fills the soul palace and at the same time the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and then it will give birth to something similar to a soul. Soul beast."

Finally, Yang Yang moved the extra picture of the Soul Cube to the middle of the circle.

Yang Yang: "As for the soul power of the Soul Cube, its characteristics are: the soul power of the soul beast, but it will not infect people, but can also be absorbed by people; it can clear the soul power of the soul beast, and it will not stay; it cannot fill the soul palace damage."

Yang Yang replaced the picture of the medicine stone with the picture of the Soul Cube, and then broke the closed circle.

Yang Yang looked at Archibald and said: "My idea is: all the soul powers in this world are from the same source and can be transformed into each other.

The soul power of the Soul Cube is similar to the medicine stone, but purer than the medicine stone.Although it can't cure the damage of the soul palace, it can cure the infection of soul power.

——This is probably what the mysterious man wanted to experiment with. "

After a pause, Yang Yang turned off the light screen again, and said: "But the soul power of the Soul Cube and the medicine stone are also mutually exclusive. After they clashed, some gray soul power was fused, but I don't quite understand what this means. What.

I was thinking before that the soul power of the Soul Cube might be able to clear the soul power of the soul beast in your body, but now your medicine contains medicine stones. Before I figure out the result of the reaction between the soul power of the Soul Cube and the medicine stone, I don’t Dare to try this for you. "

Yang Yang is also very thankful that he did not recklessly give Archibald fruit.

Yang Yang: "Besides, although your medicine contains medicine stones, you haven't found a way to use the soul power of the soul beast to stimulate the medicinal properties, so maybe the medicine stones have other effects."

As for the questioning of the three of Yaqing, Yang Yang didn't intend to put it on the table until he had definite evidence - because before he came to this world, there was no Soul Cube, nor the soul power of the Soul Cube.Therefore, even if the soul power of the soul beast is really used, it may be the only way to save Archibald.

Just like the people in this village, they certainly know that drinking poison to quench their thirst is not advisable, but what can they do?

Archibald looked at Yang Yang: "So, what do you want to do next?"

Yang Yang smiled: "The next time you get sick, let me watch in the monitoring room. I want to see what the medicine stone soul power looks like when you get sick."

Archibald hesitated.

Yang Yang wondered: "Is there no observation window in the monitoring room?"

Archibald's tail twitched before he said, "My frenzied appearance...it's scary."

Yang Yang recalled the appearance of Archibald after the last illness, and his heart couldn't help but ache.

"fine."

Yangyang took Archibald's hand and put it on his face, and said with a smile, "In my eyes, you are the most handsome no matter what."
