Chapter 384 The Mystery of the Half Body (Part )
Baizhi looked like a lion that had been bitten by someone, and he looked at me with great ferocity.
I swallowed involuntarily and said carefully, "Sir, Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Baizhi did not respond immediately, as if he wanted to search for the answer he wanted directly from my eyes. It seemed that what was reflected in his eyes was no longer my body, but some kind of monster, a monster that he could not understand.
——No, that can’t be possible. Could it be that Baizhi guessed it directly?
The room was eerily silent, the air pressure making everything around it a little darker.
The only sound was the sound of wood slowly burning in the stove, and sparks rising up the chimney.
I couldn't help but swallow, and the sound was so loud, as if there was a loudspeaker installed in my throat, which was extremely embarrassing at this moment.
I quickly picked up the teacup, and under Baizhi's gaze, I carefully drank a sip of the scented tea, thinking about how to best explain it: "... Sir, Sir, according to what you just said, the power of Mad Fire came from me, so he called me his half?"
"..." Baizhi was still silent for a moment before answering cautiously, "That's right."
"But, but at that time, I was almost dead... Ah, could it be that it originally wanted to usurp my body, but because I was saved, it could only possess Nelius?" I speculated, "But that doesn't make sense. Even if I really hated Nelius at that time, it is impossible for me to have a rage before losing consciousness. After all, the time was so short."
——Moreover, judging from those who suffer from epilepsy, especially Edgar, the lord of Moren City whom I have met, it takes time for epilepsy to accumulate strength.
Bai Zhi seemed to be unable to bear my speculation and said bluntly: "But what if that crazy fire is a part of you, the Fading Zero."
"Eh? No, that's impossible. I'm a good citizen and I've never thought of destroying the world." I immediately distanced myself from Dianhuo with righteous words.
——······Oh, except when you’re working overtime and are about to die.
"I wonder, Ling, have you ever encountered a red ghost at the border?" Baizhi suddenly changed the subject.
"Red ghost? Red spirit?" I remembered the red spirit Millicent in the Ionian swamp and the teachings that Teacher Seren had told me. "It is said that when a person is dying, the strong thoughts left behind will usually disappear with the death of the body. But if the person is saved, the red spirit will also be left on this land."
——After all, the death chaos at the border and the wandering souls are actually quite common. For example, those jellyfish that are usually harmless to humans and animals are actually a kind of soul.
“······Ah, could it be?!” I suddenly realized something.
"That's right. The reason why the Mad Fire One chose your appearance to imitate is that he is most likely the red spirit you gave birth to that night."
"Yes, but..."
Baizhi interrupted me: "Perhaps you yourself cannot perceive that the birth of the Red Spirit is actually somewhat similar to the magic of clones, which requires the original body to deliver something as a basis... But unlike magic, magic only requires a personal item, or an ability that is closely related to the original body, while the Red Spirit will take away a part of itself... I'm afraid that night, the Mad Fire was a part of your soul that was separated."
He paused, then asked the same question again: "So, Fader Zero, who are you?"
I couldn't help but be surprised by Baizhi's speculation.
——No wonder he showed such a ferocious look just now. If I showed any hostility, I'm afraid Baizhi would ignore the rule that there can be no fighting in the Round Table Hall and attack me directly.
——It is even possible that at that time, he had already regarded me as the King of Mad Fire, or the original person who brought Mad Fire to the border? !
"I, I am indeed a person who has passed through the fog and came to this world. If I must say so myself, I am not a faded person." In order to regain the other party's trust, I had to reveal some of my true information. "Perhaps, you don't believe it, but I come from another world... You can also say that I am a visitor from outer space... It was a golden butterfly that led me to the border."
"Golden butterflies? Isn't that a blessing from the Queen?"
I shook my head.
Bai Zhi also took a deep breath: "So crazy..."
"I really don't know when I was infected with Dianhuo, but I can guarantee that I am not your enemy in this regard, and I will never let that bastard Dianhuo go." I said firmly.
Baizhi also looked at me for a long time.
"······In addition, I can tell you that the Three Fingers of Mad Fire are hidden in the deepest part of the sewer in the royal city of Rodel, and those...that guy's ultimate goal must be to meet with Mad Fire to obtain more complete power. I will go there to stop him, and if possible, I would like to ask the sir to lend me a hand." I said sincerely.
"It doesn't have to be that troublesome." Bai Zhi stood up and said, "As long as the main body is dealt with, the red spirit will naturally disappear..."
"Eh?!"
——Based on the previous logic, well, it seems to be correct.
——It can’t be that we still have to fight, that’s what Baizhi meant.
“But the situation of your other half is a little different. It found an empty shell at the time of its birth. So I can’t say whether killing you will have any effect on him.” Baizhi stretched out his hand and patted my shoulder.
And I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
——Turns out it was just a joke, it scared me to death.
"But I am indeed becoming more and more interested in you, Zero." He suddenly changed the subject, and it was as if a fox's cunning laugh had penetrated through, making my ears slightly itchy. "Under that supreme will, how will you struggle?"
"······No matter what his will is, as long as he dares to show his health bar, I will make sure he never comes back." I said shamelessly.
This caused Baizhi to smile slightly.
He was leaning on the scepter and was about to return to his desk when he suddenly asked casually, "By the way, Zero, do you know that there is a village called Crazy Fire Village on the east coast of Lienia, in the mountains near the Dikdas Elevator to the north?"
"What's going on there?"
"... your half-body was covered in a witch-like person who stayed there for a while and dug out the eyes of everyone in the village, even the mice. Do you know what the ritual is?"
"what?"
——That guy, could it be that he refined the eyes of the Madman into Chapolili grapes and fed them to Haida? !
I told the other party my guess.
"The Mad Fire Witch? Come to think of it, there has been no trace of that girl for a while... I will continue to help you investigate the Mad Fire matter." Bai Zhi walked back to the desk, took out a small bottle of golden powder and handed it to me. "When necessary, inject the power of Rune into it, and then sprinkle this powder. It will guide you to meet my men. Communicate more and cooperate well."
——It sounds a bit like the finger-hooking medicine.
"Thank you." I accepted the props given by Baizhi.
The other person also turned around, and as usual, he took out a book from his pile of books and began to read it silently, no longer paying attention to me.
