Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 77 Talking All Night
Bai Shi was staying in his little room playing games.

Bai Shi was very relaxed, enjoying his leisurely gaming time, which was his daily routine.

On the table was a bottle of Coca-Cola fresh from the refrigerator and some original Lays potato chips.

Bai Shi took a bite of potato chips, a sip of Coke, and then wiped his fingertips with a crumpled wet tissue.

Only after wiping your fingers clean will you pick up the device and continue playing.

But a pool of blood suddenly gushed out of the device's screen.

Bai Shi was so frightened that he had no idea what was going on.

He stood up from his chair and kept backing away.

But the blood kept flowing out, gradually covering the floor.

A tall and strange figure emerged from the blood.

The figure was pitch black, with countless twisted horn-like protrusions on its body.

He stared at Bai Shi with malicious eyes, then raised a finger and pointed in Bai Shi's direction.

"brush--"

Before Bai Shi could react to what was happening, a bloody spike pierced through his eyeball.

The severe pain stimulates the white consciousness.

But before he could even scream, more attacks landed on him, tearing his body to pieces bit by bit.
-
Bai Shi woke up from his sleep and sat up straight on the bed.

Bai Shi was breathing heavily, his cotton coat was soaked with sweat.

He just had a nightmare.

I dreamed that I was attacked by Monger in my past life.

In the dream, Monger kept tearing Bai Shi's body apart with attacks, just as what happened during the day.

The only difference is that the consciousness in the dream is in the state before the previous life, and has no ability to fight back at all.

Bai Shi took a deep breath, trying his best to relieve the pain in his body.

After fighting with Monger during the day, the phantom pain in his body continued to torture Bai Shi.

This pain is also the cause of Bai Shi’s nightmares.

Although the pain has subsided now, I have no problem sleeping normally.

But I didn't expect this to happen in my dream.

Bai Shi covered his face with his hands and rubbed it.

Infinite life is powerful, but the aftereffect is a bit too strong.

But you have to open it. It's just a little pain. Your life is more important.

"Bai Shi, what's wrong?"

Came Melina's worried voice.

Bai Shi shook his head.

"Nothing, just a nightmare."

"Is that so? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Anyway, you haven't rested yet."

Bai Shi had been working with Melina for some time. He had curiously asked Melina before whether she needed to rest in a way similar to sleeping.

Melina told Bai Shi that although she didn't need to rest at all, she had nothing to do at night, so she would still rest for a while.

"Yeah, a little annoying."

"Bai Shi, can we chat for a few minutes?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi got out of bed.

"Of course, go and bless?"

Although I don’t know what Melina is troubled by, I don’t know if I can help.

If you can't help, just be a listener and let Melina talk about her troubles. I think she will feel better.

But Melina rejected Bai Shi's proposal to bless her.

"No, there is no need to bless."

"Just chat in the room."

Bai Shi felt a little strange. Melina could only appear next to Ci Fu, and they usually chatted with Ci Fu.

Why is Melina acting a little abnormal today?

Forget it, Melina must have her reasons for doing this.

"I'm fine with it. I'll listen to you." "Well, then you can sit on the bench."

Bai Shi did as he was told and sat down against the armrest.

The wooden bench with backrest is large enough to seat two or three people.

Bai Shi sat on one side, and Melina from the soul world squatted on the other side with her knees hugged.

Melina deliberately did not allow Bai Shi to bless her.

This way, Bai Shi wouldn't be able to see her, and wouldn't see her distressed expression.

Melina looked at Bai Shi, not knowing how to start talking for a moment.

I had just made up my mind, but when it came time to actually say it, it was much more difficult.

Bai Shi saw that Melina's voice was no longer heard, so he did not speak, but just waited quietly.

Melina must be organizing her words, and speaking now might interrupt her train of thought.

Just be an honest listener.

While waiting, Bai Shi looked out through the small window and saw a huge moon hanging in the sky.

Although mostly covered by the golden tree, the moon was still shedding its light.

I just dreamed about my past life, and when I looked at the moon again, I suddenly understood why the moon is always related to homesickness.

Melina closed her eyes and spoke softly to Bai Shi:
"Bai Shi, I want to ask you some questions."

"It may offend you. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."

"Just pretend that what happened tonight never happened, okay?"

Melina's trembling voice revealed her hesitation and uneasiness.

She knew that from the moment she started saying this, it would be impossible to just pretend it never happened.

Bai Shi must know what she is going to ask.

No matter how they pretend nothing happened tomorrow, a rift will definitely appear between the two of them.

And this is what makes her suffer.

Why is this so?
It was the first time that Mingming had a partner he trusted and the first time that he found life beyond his mission.

It should have been a very pleasant journey.

But why did it become like this...

Bai Shi looked towards the other end of the sofa, where Melina's voice came from.

Although he couldn't see her, Bai Shi knew that Melina must be there.

Bai Shi knew that what Melina wanted to ask was about him.

That is the matter of Feng Ling Yue Ying.

That's right, with Melina by his side every day, he would definitely be noticed when using Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

After all, the effect of Feng Ling Yue Ying is so outrageous that it is beyond common sense for the border area.

Bai Shi knew this day would come, and Melina was not stupid.

Besides, not only Melina, but even Elissa saw it.

It’s just that Elissa is not that familiar with herself, so there is no need for her to ask Bai Shi.

Only Melina entrusted everything to Bai Shi, so this was very important to her.

There is nothing to hide from Melina. She is a poor girl with only a soul left. Even if she knows Bai Shi's secret, she can't tell it to others.

What's more, Bai Shi believed that Melina would never do that.

It’s not the filter brought by the game in the previous life, but Bai Shi’s understanding of Melina after he really got along with her.

In fact, even if Melina pretended to be ignorant, he would confess to Melina once Bai Shi had eliminated all the enemies.

Only by letting Melina know that he has this power can he make her believe that she doesn't have to burn the tree.

"Well, it's okay. I'll answer whatever you ask."

"Because we are partners."

Bai Shi's voice was gentle yet firm, without any hesitation.

Melina breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Bai Shi's answer.

It seems that Bai Shi is not so averse to this issue.

So Melina asked Bai Shi:

"Bai Shi, what exactly was that power you used earlier?"
