The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

Ersie felt like he was having a long dream.

Just like a heavy stone suddenly fell into the river, all the mud and dust accumulated at the bottom of the river fluttered up and flew up. Every grain of sand and dust was a memory buried in the depths of time, but it became clear again at this time.The sand and dust dazzled the eyes, and the memories dazzled. One picture after another flashed in front of my eyes, and finally it was frozen - in the secret room at the bottom of the temple, the black-haired young man kissed softly and tenderly.

Ersie opened his eyes suddenly.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, he was breathing rapidly, staring blankly at the gray rock wall above his head, and it took him a long time to recover.

Although he didn't know where he was now, he didn't smell a strong smell of blood, probably he had already left the cave where he tore up the Howling Banshee.

It stands to reason that the most important thing Erxi should do now is to get up quickly and observe the surrounding situation and the environment he is in vigilantly, but...he can't do it.

He could feel that his body's strength was slowly recovering, and the time for the end of the weakening period was probably approaching, but he still felt extremely tired.

——From the soul, like being tossed hundreds of times upside down from the inside out, the kind of deep mental exhaustion.

The ability of the Howling Banshees is not to create illusions, what they can do is to reproduce the scene, but they cannot change the plot of the scene, so what I saw at that time... really happened in the past.

Is that so?

At that time, Hei Luomi's attitude was so firm that even the two of them almost turned against each other and refused to give him a relief. It was because... did he have such feelings for himself?

……

damn it.

Why didn't that guy say it earlier! ! !

If he had said it earlier... If he had said it earlier, he wouldn't have told that guy about reincarnation! !Although he was able to linger on for two more years because of this, it also left a heavy psychological shadow, which caused him to want to run when he saw Hei Luomi in his subsequent reincarnation, and he wanted to hide as far as he could—— He couldn't afford to offend him, it was better to be an enemy than to be a friend, at least the latter could directly give him a good time.

Ersie covered her face in dismay, when she suddenly heard a voice in her ear.

"Why, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Ersie was taken aback. He had been so absorbed in his emotions that he hadn't noticed anyone around him at all.

He immediately turned his head and looked back, and saw that under the shadow of the cave wall, there seemed to be a person sitting vaguely - the person was completely dark, completely melted into the darkness, and his body was lifeless, without even the sound of breathing. If he didn't take the initiative to speak out, it would be difficult to be discovered.

"It's you?"

After being startled for a moment, Ersie quickly recognized it.

——It was the mysterious Lich who "helped" him.

Although Erxi didn't have a good impression of this person, she still subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, fortunately, the person she met was not Hei Luomi. He has no memory, but he is still the same person in essence. For the time being, Erxi really hasn't figured out how to face Heluomi in this reincarnation...

The other stood up, went to Ersie and sat down again.

He was still covered with a black cloak, and he wore a black mask without facial features, as if he was the embodiment of darkness. He looked gloomy and cold, without even a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"You brought me here?" asked Ersey.

Sombra nodded, he looked at Ersie carefully again, and said.

"I think you should change your clothes first."

Although there is no light source in the cave, both of them have night vision capabilities, so their vision is unobstructed.Erxi looked down, his body was still stained with blood from the time he tortured the Howling Banshee just now, almost soaking through all the clothes on his body, sticking to his body was very uncomfortable.

Erxi kept some clean clothes in his storage ring all year round. He took out a set at random, and just about to take off the bloody clothes on his body, he stopped in the middle of the action.

"Don't you think you should dodge it for a while?" Erxi said, glaring at the Lich who was still sitting on the side.

The black shadow remained motionless, and the black mask looked unfathomable, deep and cold.

"I'm not a woman."

What I'm defending now is men! !

——The prince of the Demon Race who had just been refreshed not long ago thought angrily.

Maybe because he noticed that Erxi's eyes had become dangerous, the black shadow finally turned around slowly, and moved his face away as if reluctantly.

...Hmph, that's about the same.

Ersilius quickly changed her clothes, washed her hair and face with water magic, and finally felt refreshed.

"This is where?"

He looked around and found that there seemed to be no difference between this cave and the cave where the Howling Banshee was just now. All he could see were gray rocks, and the ground was also cold and hard earth and rocks.

"I don't know." Heiying shook his head, "I've explored all the nearby areas, and they all look like this. There are many forks in the road, but some will go back to the same place after walking, and some... don't know where the end is. have what."

Erxi had noticed from the beginning just now that the power of space was filled with chaos everywhere, and he tried to activate the "star", and the starlight on his fingertips flickered, completely unable to stabilize like a flickering candle—this was It further confirmed his conjecture.

"This should be in the space gap."

That's why he met the howling banshee who should only live in the devil's abyss—there are many space faults in the devil's abyss, if he accidentally falls into it, he will wander endlessly in the space gap, if he can't find the exit , will never come out.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would panic when they encountered this situation, but Ersie is not afraid-just kidding, that's what he does, if you can trap others, you can't trap him, and getting out of here is not a joke .

...Of course, the premise is that he has to survive the period of weakness first.

After all, he can't restore the demon form now. To use the talent skills in the human form, it is safest to ensure the state of the heyday.

"You haven't fully recovered yet, so you should take a rest."

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding or a coincidence, Soi Ying also suggested at the right time.

Ersie naturally had no objection, he found a clean corner to sit, and the black shadow moved to his side as if nothing had happened, and sat down together.

"Is your real body here too?" Erxi glanced at him and asked.

The other party shook his head.

"Oh?" Ersie became a little interested, "Do you know what's going on outside now?"

"With Moon Lake as the center, everyone fell into a deep sleep within ten miles around. However, because a strange force opened the barrier, no one seemed to notice the abnormality ten miles away. Even if they noticed, they Can't come in either."

This is a situation where Naylor's illusion has not been resolved... Ersey thought.

I don't know how this guy Naylor is doing now, but the illusion has lasted for so long, it should be because he is not dead yet.

"Is your real body not trapped in a hallucination?" Erxi asked suddenly.

This is actually a test and a guess. The other party can tell the situation in the outside world by opening his mouth. It is very likely that his real body is currently on the scene, and the other party has said that there is a barrier within a radius of ten miles, which shows that he is not after the incident. I just rushed here, but... it is very likely that it was near Moon Lake from the beginning.

"I was the only sober person at the scene when the incident happened." The other party admitted generously, "My mental protection is very strong, unless I actively cooperate, it is difficult for the illusion to have an effect on me."

The spiritual power of the Lich species is recognized by the outside world as strong, but Erxi was still taken aback—even a strong man like the Lich King was recruited, and this guy is actually okay?

"Who the hell are you?" Ersey stared at him suspiciously.

The other party said nothing.

"Are you from the Black Society?" Ersey guessed.Zeqi likes to recruit strong people, so it is possible to absorb more powerful liches into the Black Academy.

The other party remained silent, neither affirming nor denying.

"Hey," Ersie was a little dissatisfied, "You have found out all about me, and if you want me to trust you, you have to reveal something about yourself, right?"

Hei Ying glanced at him, and after a while, said slowly.

"I've always taken your electives, Mr. Er."

ha?This guy is his student?

This Ersie really didn't expect it, but there were so many students taking his elective courses that it was impossible to guess, but he was sure of one thing——

"A few months ago, it was rumored that the human race that messed up the edge of Black Mountain, is it you?"

Those who can study at the Human Race Academy of Magic are of course all human races, and when the incident happened in Brinkside Montenegro, it happened to be during the summer vacation when the students returned home from vacation.

Sombra nodded, admitting it.

"It's really you?" Erxi was a little surprised even though he was well-informed. He looked the other up and down again, and couldn't help but sigh, "You have two tricks...you still hide it very deeply."

I'm afraid that even Zeqi doesn't know about this matter. If he knew that not only a Prince of the Demon Race had sneaked into his academy, but also a dangerous member of the Lich World, he might have gone crazy on the spot.

"Why didn't you just subdue all the liches in the Black Mountain on the edge?" Erxi asked curiously, and this question was also the most talked about at that time, "It took so much effort to drive away the Lich King, but you didn't accept him Your power is too bad, right?"

"...Because I can't make it in time."

"What's too late?"

Sombra's voice has always been as flat as a puppet, and it sounds a little dull.

"Because school is about to start, no matter how late it is, I won't be able to come to school in time."

Ersie: "..."

Well, so everyone has guessed the truth of the unsettled case for n months - the reason why the famous human race disappeared was not because he washed his hands and didn't plan to make trouble, but because he was going back to the Magic Academy...

"You are so good at dark witchcraft, why do you want to learn magic?" Erxi teased.

"I never thought of learning magic before." Sombra suddenly paused, "But because someone wanted me to come, so I came."

Ersie raised her eyebrows in surprise: "That's it?"

"that's it."

A ruthless character who can torture the entire Lich on the edge of Montenegro to the point of voluntary death is definitely not so easy to talk about, so——

"It seems... that person should be very important to you," Ersie said firmly, "that's why you are willing to listen to him."

The other side nodded.

"It's just..." Hei Ying seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally continued, "I still don't quite understand why he wants me to study here."

"You have to ask him about this." Erxi shrugged, "It may be his own wish, or it may be to let you go the right way-you haven't completely transformed into a lich, right? Humans are converted into liches, It is to completely abandon the body, and then you may not even be able to maintain your own xinxing, and your original heart will be lost... If he attaches great importance to you, he definitely does not want you to take this path."

Shadow was silent.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and it took him a while to raise his head again.

"How about you, teacher?"

"Ok?"

"Why did you come to the academy?" Black Shadow asked, "Everyone said that after the return of the devil's son Ursi, he would definitely go to the temple for revenge. Why didn't you go? Don't you mind what happened back then?"

"How is that possible." Erxi snorted coldly, "I can destroy the scum of the temple anytime I want! It's just that I have come here... to have more important things to do than revenge."

"What's more important? To be a teacher?"

The serious tone of the other party made Erxi couldn't help laughing: "Of course not. In fact, I am similar to you, and I came here because of someone."

Soi Ying's body seemed to tense a little, and he even tilted his head slightly forward.

"It's about the same as me? Then... is that person very important to you, Mr. Er?"

Maybe it was because he really felt the sincerity of the other party during the conversation, maybe he couldn't help but feel a little kind after knowing that the other party was his student, or maybe...after experiencing so many things, there was indeed a desire to confide in his chaotic heart, Erxi seriously thought about it After a while, he opened his mouth.

"I don't know what to say..." He said slowly, "Words like 'important' can't describe our relationship at all. In fact, I hated him very much at first, oh no, to be precise It's 'hate' - I really hated him before, wishing he would be cut into pieces and die a hundred times, but then..."

——Afterwards, why did it become like that?

"... Later, after a lot of things, I realized that it was pointless for me to hate him, and even... he was a victim. The world is so ridiculous sometimes - you did nothing wrong and I did nothing wrong , but the tragedy just happened, who should we blame? What's the use of hating?"

"Actually, if possible, I even hope that I will never see him again, but we are like grasshoppers tied to the same thread, and we will see each other again every once in a while. I was really annoying before, but later I gradually got used to it, and even felt that we were a bit like "comrades in arms"-although he didn't know it, but sometimes when I couldn't hold on anymore, I thought that there was such an unlucky ghost who had to repeat himself in this world like me Repeat... I feel a little better. Well, how do you say that? 'Same sickness and compassion'? That's probably what it is."

"The reason why I came to the academy was because that guy was in some trouble. In fact, I really don't want to get involved in his affairs, but no one can help him except me. Alas, I can only bite the bullet."

After Ersie finished speaking, the person sitting opposite did not make a sound for a long time, and it was unknown whether they did not understand or were completely stunned.

After a long time, Sombra's hoarse and flat voice sounded again.

"That person... what trouble did he encounter?"

Ersey shrugged and said he had no comment.

"Then...does he know that you came to help him?" Soi Ying asked again.

Ersie shook his head.

"I don't know?" Soi Ying seemed taken aback, and his voice, which had been stable all along, seemed to fluctuate a little, "Why didn't he know? Could it be that he didn't notice the things you did for him? "

"Probably." Ersey nodded, looking like he didn't care too much, "He actually doesn't know who I am, because he can't remember the past, but it's good, for us two It's all easy."

"Can't remember?" Hei Ying was stunned for a moment, he suddenly took a step forward, and the cold bone claws under the cloak grabbed the shoulder of the silver-haired young man, forcing him to turn his head and look this way.

"Why can't he remember?" The other party's voice was no longer flat, but a little anxious and nervous, "Did something happen that made him unable to remember?"

Ersie looked at each other in astonishment.

He didn't understand how this person had such a big reaction. Just as he was about to speak, Erxi's expression changed, and he turned his head to look in another direction.

Soi Ying also subconsciously let go of his hand, and looked in that direction together.

—the sound of footsteps.

Someone is coming this way.

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

In fact, I have also thought about whether there will be a day when someone tells me: You can decide whether the world will be destroyed or not.

I don't know why I came up with this idea, and I don't even know-why after I came up with this idea, the first thing I thought of... was actually that person.

I was thinking, if that person was faced with such a choice, how would he make a decision?

Will he choose to destroy this world, everyone including me, and all his experiences and memories because he is cursed by reincarnation and wants to repeat the same fate endlessly?

I always feel that he should not do this.

——That's just irresponsible evasion.

That's what he would probably say.

...so, forget it.

Although I am not that strong, I am not that weak either. In order to end my pain, I deny and destroy all good things, and even let the whole world be buried with me... I am not yet such a pathetic coward.

Besides, I'm not alone.

It doesn’t matter if you say it’s self-deception, or self-comfort, but whenever I think of me and that person living under the same blue sky, bearing a similar fate and going back and forth together, that irresistible sense of loneliness seems to dissipate a bit .

I think I should last a long time.

a long time.

——Until, this world ushered in the real end.
