Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Forest City Subway

Merry soon found the wardrobe in the second-floor bedroom.Distraught, she didn't bother to choose any style, so she randomly found a dark red dress and changed into it. When she went downstairs carrying the torn Dior skirt and An Yu's black shirt, she realized that An Yu had left, and only Mrs. Yin was left sitting on the sofa in the living room. This discovery made Meili a little flustered, and she seemed to have gotten used to An Yu's existence before she knew it. "Thank you! I'm really bothering you this time." Seeing that Mrs. Yin seemed to be resting with her eyes half-closed, Mei Li was a little embarrassed standing beside the sofa with her clothes in her arms, so she tried her best to say some polite words to ease the atmosphere, "Where did An Yu go... ..."

"It would be nice to think of coming to me..." Mrs. Yin didn't answer Meili's question, and smiled weakly, "Unfortunately, it's too late..." What's late?Meili's heart skipped a beat: "You mean... I made a wish to Isis? But I didn't do anything..." Mrs. Yin didn't answer, but just opened her eyes and stared at the wall opposite the sofa, causing Meili to turn her face in that direction, and then she saw the shocking scene—— On the snow-white wall, the papyrus painting "The Judgment of Osiris" that was originally hanging spontaneously ignited at some point, and the faint orange flames licked the old paper, as if a gluttonous mouth devoured everyone on the screen gods.In just a few seconds, that precious golden scroll disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a bit of ashes behind.

At the same time, the flat wall looked like melted magma, protruding gray-white bubbles—no, not bubbles, but a beautifully carved relief mural!In the center of the picture, a woman in a long skirt stands stiffly in front of the audience, but her head has fallen to the ground. Her wide eyes and mouth reveal the shock and sadness she has endured.On the left side of the woman's body, a god with the head of an eagle is waving a sharp knife. It seems that he cut off the woman's head; on the right side, a pair of eyes are hidden in the bushes. kind of panic... What is this - what happened to Isis in mythology?Those two weird-looking gods are Horus and Seth who are fighting for the kingship?Meili took a few steps back in fright. Why did this mural appear out of thin air on the white wall?Was it to declare where fate was headed, or to remind her that she had a chance to save Isis... no, Mrs. Yoon's life?

"I'm very disappointed, Meili..." Mrs. Yin's voice sounded again, with a distinct "hissing" sound, like a broken bellows with air leaking, "I treat you...so good..." "I'm sorry, I don't know..." Mei Li was so embarrassed that she almost cried, "I, can I make another wish..." "Remember what you owe me, and give it back to my son..." Mrs. Yin exhausted her last strength to say this, and suddenly she tilted her body, and her delicate head rolled off her shoulders like a teapot lid. Falling. A bright red snake crawled out from Mrs. Yin's collar, and spat a forked letter at the stunned Meili.As if ignited by the heat brought by the red snake, the next moment, Mrs. Yin's body and head burst into orange-red flames, just like the papyrus painting "The Trial of Osiris", but within a few seconds In no time, Mrs. Yin disappeared out of thin air, and even the last trace of green smoke disappeared without a trace in the air.

On the sofa, there was only a red snake with its head held high, its cruel snake eyes staring at Meili motionlessly, as if waiting for her to make a certain choice. And the price of making the wrong choice is death! When she regained consciousness again, Meili suddenly hated herself for being so strong and not fainted. "Don't come here, I won't hurt you, and you won't hurt me, right?" Meri tried hard to give Red Snake a smile that was uglier than crying, raised the clothes in his hands to protect his chest, and walked Little by little, he quietly returned to the gate.

The red snake didn't move, still staring at Meri expressionlessly, but its body swelled rapidly like it was inflated.When Meili finally retreated to the door of the entrance, the red snake, which was only a foot long, had swelled to a length of more than two feet.It is entrenched on the sofa like a king, and the fangs bared from time to time in the red triangular head show its fierce toxicity. "One-two-three!" Meili said silently three times in her heart, and suddenly threw the clothes in her hand to the distance, took advantage of the red snake's attention, pulled the doorknob and rushed out of the villa, and then "bang" He closed the door behind him.

"Help!" She yelled without any hesitation, but when she turned her head, she happened to see a dazzling lightning shot from Pei Sidu's hand, hitting An Yu who was motionless with her back facing her!If An Yu was struck by this bolt of lightning, she would definitely be like Mrs. Yin—into ashes! "Boss Pei——" Meili shouted with all her strength in horror, but before she could utter the words, her throat was suffocated, and she was wrapped around her neck by the tail of the red snake that broke through the door! With a soft "pop", An Yu reached out and grabbed the tip of Pei Sidu's whip, but she couldn't feel the sharp pain of the lightning burning her skin—"Help, Mr. Pei", that's how she shouted, this was ruthless again This fact has been thoroughly verified: when she was in the most critical moment, the person she instinctively thought of was always Pei Sidu!Why do I still deceive myself and refuse to believe it? !

"Let go!" Pei Sidu pulled the lightning whip vigorously in his hand, but he couldn't move it even an inch, and he couldn't help being shocked: this fugitive has recovered such a great power! The red snake wrapped around Meili's neck coldly glanced at the reactions of the two men, grinned like a grin, then bent over the upper half of the snake's body, and its sharp fangs dug deep into the skin of Meili's neck... "Ah!" An Yu shouted hoarsely, threw off Pei Sidu's whip, and rushed towards Meili like an arrow from the string. And Pei Sidu's lightning whip also lashed towards the Red Snake as if it had eyes!

Accompanied by the intense flames and the stench of scorched flesh, the red snake wrapped around Meili fell to the ground by the lightning whip, twisted a few times and then disappeared into the ground. An Yu was in the crook of his arms. "Give her back to me!" Seeing An Yu hugging Meili tightly, as if he never existed, Pei Sidu was furious, and whipped his whip towards An Yu's naked back, "You have already admitted in your heart that the princess belongs to you. mine!" The bright lightning flashed everywhere, as if countless sharp knives were slashing on the clanging iron stone. An Yu spat blood on Meili's red dress, but her whole body stood still like a rock in the tide: "She is going to die..." He Looking down at Meili, he muttered in a low voice, "I could have saved her..."

"Idiot, let me do it!" Pei Sidu didn't expect An Yu to take his own whip at this moment, before he had time to entangle with him, he knelt down and pressed his right palm on Meili's eyebrow. The girl's neck was pierced with two small holes by the fangs of the red snake, and the thin blue threads slowly spread from around the holes to the whole body like vines that sprouted and pulled silk.Suppressed by Pei Sidu's divine power, the thin threads temporarily shrank their bodies like a group of snakes being attacked, but immediately spread out to the surroundings at a faster speed.

"Damn it!" Pei Sidu cursed, and urged the divine power infused into Meili's body again, but he couldn't curb the spread of the poison at all.In the blink of an eye, the thin blue thread climbed from the neck to Merry's chin. "There is no cure for the poison of the red scale, not to mention, she is only a mortal body." A strange smile suddenly appeared on An Yu's face, "You could have saved her. But, you are reluctant to whip the lightning down In my hands. At that moment, her life and death are not as important as a whip in your heart." "What right do you have to say about me?" Pei Sidu was furious, "You can drive Chilin away with a little effort, but what were you bastard doing at that time?" "I'm really a bastard, just like you." An Yu tightened her arms, feeling the thorn-like pain from Meili's body, as if she didn't feel so depressed in her heart, "It's fine if she dies. It's hard to seduce her." "She's not dead yet, what nonsense are you talking about!" Pei Sidu's eyes widened in anger, and he swung a fist with his left hand, hitting An Yu's blood-stained lips, as if he wanted to wake up the man who had lost his mind, " As long as you use the power of the most spiritual to force out the toxin, and then forcibly condense her soul, she will be able to come back to life!" "What do I want her to do?" An Yu turned her face away from the beating, and punched Pei Sidu hard in the heart, knocking him to the ground, "Let her come back to life and continue to love you? Then To watch you bring her back to Yalu and become one of your concubines?" He sneered, "Instead of doing that, why not just let her die like this, so that she can have a free afterlife! Anyway, your strength is endless. Decline, and it will be impossible to find her again in the future!" "You say that, I suspect that you intend to kill the princess on purpose!" Pei Sidu looked at the almost smug smile on An Yu's face, and threw out a whip flower with the lightning whip that was raised high. I stopped my gaffe, "Or, this itself is a trap deliberately set by you and 'that person'! You want to force me to use the power of the most spiritual to save the princess, so that I will lose almost all of my mana, which is convenient for you father and son Slaughter at will! What a good idea!" "Whatever you think." An Yu didn't look at Pei Sidu, but just stared at the blue toxin happily swimming along the blood vessels under Meili's skin, as if he wanted to remember every minute of this death process firmly. "Losing the princess or losing the power of the soul, do you think this is the dilemma thrown at me? Haha, then we might as well make a bet." A bit of vicious mockery flashed across Pei Sidu's bright eyes, "Before the bet, I Let me remind you of a fact—the princess doesn’t have any beliefs in this life, even if she has, it’s the atheism she’s known since she was a child, so this time without the salvation of the gods, she will die “really” and her soul will follow her body It will be completely dissipated by death, and there will be no afterlife at all!" "Then let's take a gamble." Pei Sidu keenly caught the momentary twitch at the corner of An Yu's mouth, re-tasting the pleasure of having the initiative in his hands, and calmly upped the stakes, "Who on earth is reluctant to let her disappear from here? Me, the king of the God Realm, who has everything I need, or you who have been punished for thousands of years for her and have nothing? It’s a joke, even though I value the princess very much, it’s not worth exchanging my wealth and life for it!” An Yu didn't answer, she silently stretched out her hand to hold Meili's eyebrows, and pushed back the blue fine lines again.Through the tightly closed eyelids, he saw Meili's eyeballs quivering and her lips moving slightly, as if she was still eager to say something in a coma. "Chilin's poison is quite special." An Yu suddenly smiled, "Actually, it is entirely possible that Meili can hear you now—are you not afraid?" "Nonsense!" Pei Sidu punctured An Yu's lie disapprovingly, and sneered, "Even if she hears it, it's even more despicable if you use her as bait! Otherwise, I just sent her back to rest after lunch, how could she be taken away by you?" Come here?" "So those photos were taken at noon today..." An Yu suddenly hugged Meili and stood up, staring at Pei Sidu's vigilant expression, and smiled faintly, "Then congratulations, you won the bet." After speaking, a wide gap split open on the ground instantly.Both An Yu and Mei Li disappeared. "Although saving her will make me lose my spiritual power, you must also pay the price for your arrogance!" When the stitches were closed, An Yu's voice clearly entered Pei Sidu's ears. "The futile curse of the loser, I've never cared about it." Pei Sidu let go of his fist, hugged his arms leisurely, and showed a smug smile. A few minutes later, the security personnel of Lincheng Subway discovered an abnormal situation in the surveillance video: in the Xingfu Garden Station at the westernmost end of Metro Line 1, a young man with strange behavior suddenly appeared.The young man was topless, but he was holding a motionless girl in a red dress in his arms. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive. In order to maintain the image of the city, the Lincheng Subway has always stipulated that "clothes are disheveled and no entry is allowed." What's more, the couple still had traces of suspected blood on their bodies, as if they had escaped from the scene of a murder case. How did you get past the ticket gate!The staff on duty immediately dutifully notified the security guard at Xingfu Garden Station to step forward to question him. Unfortunately, before the security guard there could ask about the situation, the young man had already carried the girl onto the subway. Subsequently, the surveillance video showed that the couple appeared one after another at the City Library Station and the China World Trade Center Station, both of which are transfer stations for subway lines.And after taking all the subway lines in the city, they actually returned to the original Xingfu Garden Station, and boarded the No. 1 train bound for the east again! This uncivilized behavior of blatantly wasting public resources and destroying the appearance of Lincheng subway finally made the staff on duty change from curiosity and disgust at the beginning to outright anger!After careful observation, they quickly grasped the itinerary of this young man holding a girl: run through Line 1 from the westernmost point, then transfer to the Ring Line, and finally take Line 2 going north-south, which happens to draw the shape of the Lincheng subway ♀ Outline. Therefore, under the prudent deployment of the subway security department, they formed a siege at Xingfu Garden Station, which has less traffic, and prepared to take measures after investigating the motive. Some even reported to the reporter of "Lincheng Metropolis Daily" materialized. The reporter keenly sensed the murderous, erotic and suspenseful elements of the news, and immediately rushed to the subway station with a recorder, camera and other interview equipment. Everyone is guessing whether the weird behavior of this couple is the abnormal behavior of the mentally ill, the sensational performance art of the artist, or some kind of mysterious ritual? Finally, the young man holding the girl reappeared on the platform of the Happy Garden subway station.But even though there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes watching closely, no one could see how he got here. He neither took the subway from the east nor passed through the ticket gate, as if... as if he had come from here. It's like walking out of a dark ground tunnel! Before the next eastbound subway came to a stop, plainclothes security guards quickly adjusted their positions and quietly surrounded the couple.The reporter's recorder was turned on, and the chief of the security department stepped forward to interrogate the suspicious man: "What's your name? Do you have a workplace? What's the relationship with this girl? What happened to you? If you stay in the subway for more than one and a half hours, you will be fined?..." The young man kept silent at first, and only occasionally looked up at the chief of the security department. Although his eyes were so flat that there was almost no expression, the chief of the security department, who was a veteran, still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and pretended to be a passenger behind him. The security guards made a "ready to move" gesture. "She's sick, I'll send her to be treated." Perhaps sensing the threats around him, the young man finally replied as if showing weakness. "Hurry up to the hospital if you are sick, and don't hang out in our subway!" The chief of the security department sternly taught the young man a lesson, and couldn't help but look down at the girl in the other's arms, and suddenly found that her face seemed to be trapped. The man drew countless tree branches with blue ink, and his arms that were unable to hang down were covered with such hideous tattoo-like lines. He couldn't help being startled, "This, what kind of disease is this?" While speaking, an empty train stopped at the platform of the departure station, and passengers began to enter the train one after another.Seeing the young man move, the chief of the security department with rich fighting experience had expected him to rush into the carriage, and suddenly shouted "Go", and a dozen strong security guards rushed towards the young man from all angles!And the reporter who was hiding aside picked up the camera and clicked hard. However, at this moment, the young man disappeared even with the girl. Seeing that the security personnel lost their target and looked at each other, the reporter hurriedly exported the photos on the LCD screen of the camera, flipping through them one by one: "My God, I am shooting at a continuous shooting speed of one-fiftieth of a second, and there is only one photo with Shadows!—they must have entered the carriage!" "Two people come and get on the train with me!" The chief of the security department thought that the extension of the departure time would inevitably cause chaos, so he gave the order neatly, and the reporter who came back to his senses also got into the subway car the moment the door closed. The train left the Happy Garden Station. "Catch the turtle in the urn, and sooner or later we will find that kid!" There were not many passengers at the departure station, and most of the seats were still empty. The chief of the security department led two men to search along the carriages one by one, determined to catch him. The guy with a guilty conscience turned him over to the public security organ. However, even though they conducted a carpet-like search from the rear of the car to the front, they didn't see any young man who was shirtless and hugged a girl in a red dress. Instead, the reporters who followed him were panting from exhaustion. The chief of the security department was disappointed, and while using the walkie-talkie to order the monitoring room to strengthen the monitoring, he resolutely inspected every carriage again. "I counted a total of twelve carriages, and found nothing unusual." The reporter couldn't fight the physical strength of the professional security guards, and sat on the seat with weak legs, desperately pulling his messy hair, "Could it really be a ghost? I There is not a single photo in my camera that lies about his appearance..." The reporter's muttering suddenly reminded the chief of the security department, and he quickly used the intercom to connect with the dispatcher at the departure station: "How many cars are there in the train departing at 17:55?"...What, thirteen knots? Why do I only get twelve knots when I count?" "A whole carriage disappeared?" The reporter's face turned pale. "Is this... a supernatural phenomenon?" "What kind of supernatural phenomenon, are you an atheist?" The chief of the security department raised his eyebrows. "Really, this kind of thing has happened before..." The reporter continued to pull his hair, "Just a few weeks ago, we published a picture of a man with wings, and all but one of the newspapers printed The pages that came out were all blank, and the only newspaper that was successfully printed disappeared... No, no, I shouldn't have said this! In short, today's affairs must be kept strictly confidential!" After finishing speaking, he Grab your interview bag and escape the eerie subway at the nearest stop. When the train finally arrived at the terminal station of Line 1, the head of the security department and his subordinates, who were still searching to no avail, got off the train and counted them. There were still thirteen carriages!So this case and a series of fuzzy photos taken by the reporter were all handed over to the Special Cases Team of the Public Security Bureau as top-secret files for internal investigation. "I failed to control the barrier around my body, and I exposed the existence of the God Realm." In the empty subway car, An Yu put her palm against Meili's eyebrows, and slowly input the divine power of her palm into her body, " It even includes the underground palace of the Lord of Darkness." Meili lay quietly in An Yu's arms, neither seeing nor hearing.Although she has traveled along the subway line twice, her pale skin is still covered with terrible blue lines, and her whole body is like ancient porcelain covered with ice lines, which will shatter if touched lightly. "I could have saved you..." An Yu raised his hand and gently stroked Meili's cheek, the thorn-like pain made his fingertips drip with blood, "You were kidnapped by Sekit, so today at noon and You weren't the one who ate Pei Sidu, and you weren't the one who took those photos. Of course Pei Sidu didn't realize the truth, and I was also dazzled by jealousy. I didn't think of this simple truth! If I stopped Chilin earlier, you would There will be no such danger..." The golden light poured into the girl's eyebrows unreservedly from the palm of her hand, and the loss of a lot of spiritual power caused An Yu's arms to sink, and she couldn't even hug the person in her arms.He staggered to his feet, and carefully laid Meili flat on the subway seat, while he knelt on the floor of the carriage, not daring to take his palm off her forehead. The overwhelming sense of powerlessness surrounded and beat him like a tide, and finally pushed his body forward and fell on the girl in front of him.In the trance caused by extreme weakness, the shrill voice sounded in his ears again, piercing his deepest memory through thousands of years of time and space: "Save me, Anubis, save me..." the voice suppressed and shouted, "Please don't do this, you are my father..." "Meritamon..." He murmured, and frantically pushed aside layers of curtains, rushing towards the always silent deep palace.In the red eyes, two figures entangled in front could already be seen - the tall man had already pinned the weak girl to the bed! Suddenly a staff appeared in his hand, and he threw it towards the red-haired middle-aged man without thinking, but the next moment, the staff was swept away by a whip, and his arms were also tightly squeezed. Twist. "Cousin, what are you going to do?" Horus' familiar voice came from behind, but with a different embarrassment and anger than before. "Didn't you hear? Tell him to stop!" He struggled violently, but couldn't escape the powerful confinement of the King of the God Realm. "Are you crazy? That's the Pharaoh and his queen, what they do is justified!" Horus pulled him back into the mural, and looked at him again as if he didn't know him, "It's been a long time I heard that my wooden cousin fell in love, could it be the little queen of Ramses II?" "It's just a queen in name. Pharaoh has dozens of concubines. Why do you have to come here if you want to have fun?" Panting heavily, he tried his best to break free from the obstruction of the King of the God Realm. "Pharaoh is not looking for fun, he is just fulfilling his obligations!" Horus was quite impatient with his ignorance, "They are the most sacred men and women of upper and lower Egypt, and their combination can guarantee Pharaoh The purity of family blood can also symbolize the fertility of the land on both sides of the Nile River! Otherwise, why would those mortals enshrine them, and why should they enshrine us?" "But the sacrificial ceremony hasn't started yet, why is he so impatient?" Knowing that Horus' words are correct, and all these are the source of their survival as gods, he still wished that this day would come as late as possible. "It's better to let her get used to it earlier." Horus smiled mockingly, "Don't you want to see her indecent shouts come from the secret room in the center of the temple during the much-anticipated blessing ceremony? Cousin , since you can't change all of this, you can only learn to get used to it..." He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth without answering.However, it was this kind of silence that made the groans, sobs and prayers outside the mural even harsher: "Anubis, Anubis, where are you? Didn't you come to save me... My Lord God, if you can't If you love me, just... just kill me... let my soul be swallowed by the heart-eating beast, and I will not be able to obtain eternal life..." "Yes, I want to save you, I will definitely save you!" He felt that he was going to be driven mad by the intermittent prayers, but he had to clenched his fist tightly, using the blood that flowed out as proof of his oath . "Don't try to make any plans, the rules of the God Realm are sacred and cannot be broken." Horus grabbed his shoulders tightly, restrained all the affinity as a cousin, and warned with the irresistible majesty of a king, "Besides, Pharaoh He is the representative of my rule in the world, and his queen is my highest priestess, and anyone who obstructs their holy union is challenging my authority! No matter who dares to do this, I will not let him go!" He didn't answer, but savored the taste of the blood in his mouth, and repeated the oath in his heart: "I'm sorry, Meritamon, please wait patiently. I swear that even if I can't escape the rules of the God Realm, I will definitely give you true freedom! That is the best reward for my faith and love for you!" "Boss Pei..." A weak voice suddenly entered An Yu's ears, waking him up from his trance, and he straightened his back. "President Pei..." Maybe An Yu's massive input of divine power just now had an effect, and Mei Li's fluttering lips could finally make a sound, "President Pei..." An Yu bit her lip hard, her stiff fingers left a little blood on Meili's cheek.The strong jealousy made him want to stretch out his hand to block her mouth, and then shouted in her ear: "Give up, he won't love you, and he won't take the risk of showing his original shape to save you! It was me who gave you the most, from beginning to end!" For a moment, An Yu felt that she was going crazy—since she couldn't tell her the truth, why not destroy it together! His hand reached for her throat again, never feeling his despair so intensely. Perhaps, only when she is completely destroyed can he be freed from thousands of years of hard labor, and she can also gain real freedom. "Boss Pei...stop...don't...don't hit him..." Unable to feel the cyan cracks spreading all over her body at a frightening speed again, the unconscious Meili still yelled anxiously. The hands stuck on Meri's throat stopped suddenly, and the tense joints made a series of slight crisp sounds. "This is my punishment!" An Yu raised his head suddenly, and let out a beast-like wail, "This is my punishment!" "If you are injured, you must treat it quickly. Scorpions are poisonous!" "I couldn't see you just now, I was so scared to death." "What's the matter with your injuries?" "I stabbed you with the key of life last night, does it matter?" "Boss Pei...stop...don't...don't hit him..." All of a sudden, the bits and pieces of the past relationship came back to An Yu's mind.The kind-hearted Meili, the dependent Meili, the sad Meili, the caring Meili, and now—the Meili who is still begging Pei Sidu in a coma... Although he deliberately rejected her thousands of miles away with indifference from the very beginning, and even Now she is not willing to pretend, but her attitude has been quietly changing, but he has never experienced it, and she may not have felt it herself.Everything happened so silently, and when he suddenly looked back, he realized that he was no longer in a dilemma. Even if, from beginning to end, she was so mediocre and cowardly in this life, she never paid anything to him. He just needed a reason, and now, she gave him that reason. The desire for immortality is no match for the heroic dream of ordinary life. The blood-dropped fingers lifted up, drawing a unique symbol on his chest.In an instant, An Yu's whole body radiated golden light, illuminating the whole subway car as if it were made of gold, only Meili's body looked more dim and weak in this golden light. Silently chanting the ancient mantra, the golden light from An Yu's body gradually poured towards Meili, enveloping her whole body.As the light on An Yu's body gradually dimmed, Mei Li's body became brighter and brighter, as if those lights were molten steel that destroyed everything, gradually dissolving the blue toxin that covered the blood vessels of Mei Li. "Pei Sidu is right. I can watch your reincarnation after another in the prison, but I can't see you disappear. Besides, you are Meri now, not Meritamon." An Yu's voice became lower and lower, He couldn't even hug Meili's body anymore, and slowly fell to his knees on the ground.But on his face that was gradually darkening, there was an unobstructed smile, and he struggled to kiss lightly on Meri's blood-red lips: "Even if the spell says that your kiss is the most terrible poison in the world, I'm willing to take it right now." .” I can't kill you, I can only love you!
