The magician in the city

Chapter 402 The Mage Addicted to Drugs

Chapter

Roach's spirit tightened, and he gradually realized that he was facing a complete stranger, and he was hiding her so deeply that he couldn't see her clearly at all.In fact, there is no need to see clearly at all, her dazzling resume can almost explain everything.

The belated sense of tension also made him realize that the various friendly and loose influences exerted by Mr. Shi are gradually fading away, and his spirit has regained a neutral balance point.

Luo Qi couldn't help tapping the table lightly, probably because he had been out of his body for too long, his head was always aching, not to mention the stiffness of his body, the mechanical movement was a bit neurotic.

Mr. Shi glanced at him keenly, Roach didn't know what she saw, and he could guarantee that his mental barrier was indestructible.He sensed that the old woman was also a telepath. She had been a goddess before, so of course she was a telepath.However, her level of telepathy is not high, and the profession of a goddess does not require too high telepathy ability. Their customers usually open their hearts to them.A thought flashed by, and Luo Qi suddenly guessed how she jumped from her career as a goddess of Wushan to become the boss of the black market.

"Drinking some wine will make you feel better." The old woman said, pushing the half glass of wine that Du Zhengyi had poured for him towards his hand, "The last thing you should do now is to concentrate too much. It can only reduce the sensitivity of the spirit."

Roach looked at the old woman in surprise. He didn't know how many people could directly guess his experience.Being removed from the brain and then transferred back, the soul is out of the body and attached to the body, this has rarely happened since ancient times, right?

"Your situation seems to be a prohibited act." The old woman said calmly, "In human terms, it's hilarious. But mages don't use hallucinogens. In the past, Wushan had some strictly forbidden ways of hospitality, taking part of the guests The soul is released in the container. Some mages believe that this is the highest state of meditation, and some mages think that this is the joy of breaking the head, breaking through the limitations of the body, and freely experiencing the pleasure that cannot be experienced in the body."

Roach didn't speak. He could imagine the scene. It must be the craziest theme park in the world. You can experience anything that is prohibited by morality or safety in the world. To put it bluntly, you can brave the dragon, experience Life and death, or the equivalent of out-of-body restrictions and drug use.In the weirdest direction, you can also toast with your dead partner and exercise with the first love you dumped.

But for Roach, these are endless hells full of fear and hesitation.

"With a decent person like Du Zhengyi, I don't think any Wushan practitioner will try this kind of forbidden magic for you." The old woman said, "The ancestor mages have indeed disappeared, but after all, they left behind a lot of things." , These things have been appearing for thousands of years, and no one dares to say that he can grasp everything, and no one dares to say that he has encountered the last one. In this case, we can always wait for a big surprise. I always believe that as long as it is Anything that can happen, will happen. So no matter what happens, I will not be surprised. For example, if there is such a crippled soul that captures your mind..."

Luo Qi swallowed, he felt the faintly visible soul of the old woman, but for a moment, he suddenly perceived the hidden information in his mind, and the process was like decoding a puzzle. "I understand. You are here to help Du Zhengyi. You think I... I have changed, and I am a threat to him."

Du Zhengyi looked a little surprised, he looked at the old woman in confusion, but couldn't see the denial from her face.He thought for a while, stretched out his arms to wrap Roach's shoulders, and shrugged at the old woman.

The old woman thought for a while, as if she was prudently deducing the result she had drawn. "My purpose is indeed more complicated." She said slowly, this is a frank sentence, and Roach nodded in trust. "Anyway, this is a big event. I'm already old, and I don't have much to see. Of course, I have to take a look. I must act quickly, before Qionglin covers everything up. , take a look."

Luo Qi hesitated for a moment, but Du Zhengyi held his shoulder steadily, as if standing firmly behind his back.He overcame his own obstacles and asked the old woman directly, "Grandma, can I ask directly, what is your request? Whether I can give it to you or not, I want to hear it."

The old woman smiled, and Roach saw warmth from her smile. No matter how paranoid and skeptical he was now, he could only admit that he saw warmth from that old face.The boss of the black market is an extremely complicated person, but when she is near the end of her life, her mental strength can make her extremely simple. "What do I want? I'm rich, I'm powerful, boy, I even have a ticket to escape death. So boy, do you think I need anything else?"

Roach couldn't answer. "I have no way of understanding the life of a boss."

"You will realize it in the future." The old woman laughed out loud, with a comfortable laugh, and the musicians behind her were still teasing the soft and smooth music on their own.With her elbows on the table and her head resting on her fingers, she sat comfortably sideways in front of them. "All I want to know is a few pieces of news, my son. If you exchange information with me, you will be rewarded handsomely. Zhengyi is my best customer and upstream seller. In the past, we had a good foundation of mutual trust. As for today, I am at the last Come here when you are easily suspected, I just hope you can answer me, an old man, with a little truth. I want to know, child, have you ever exchanged souls with people completely?"

Luo Qi didn't speak, and Du Zhengyi was playing with a lock of hair at the back of his head, not worried about how to deal with it at all.He seemed to have handed over everything to Roach, Roach really wanted to scold someone, he always felt as if he was in the exam room again.

Regarding his hesitation, the old woman added, "I just want to know if it is or not. As for how your friend helped you out of the predicament, and what you have experienced in the process, I will not ask any further. "

Roach took a deep breath, choked on the smoke from the barbecue, suppressed his cough and said, "Yes."

Then he started coughing, he was too busy coughing to say whether he was right, Mr. Shi's face relaxed at this moment, as if he had a complete understanding, or it could be said that a certain mystery that had plagued her for a long time had finally come to an end untied.For such a short moment, she looked really old, and Roach couldn't help worrying about her. If she really delayed boarding, she might really be too late, and the god of death would knock her at any time The door, death will be her only destination.

Then she smiled, still looking refreshed, like a much younger woman, full of strength and confidence, full of charm.

She turned to Du Zhengyi, "How did you tell the difference between Monkey King and the six-eared macaque?"

Du Zhengyi had been asked this question many times, and he really didn't want to say it again, wishing he could forget the nightmares of the past few days.He just said lightly, "It's not him, it's not him. Different souls, from the beginning to the end, are different everywhere."

The old woman smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yeah, this is indeed a question that does not need to be asked, I am really confused."
