Without any hesitation, Li Xiang immediately followed up with the First Lady's words.
The First Lady paused for a moment, and then laughed without restraint.
"Hahaha, how interesting. How many years has it been? The last person who refuted me to my face is still in my blood pool." There was no trace of anger on the First Lady's face, but her tone became extremely gloomy, as if she was watching something very funny happen.
"Your experience and pain is indeed a blow, but that's not the reason why you used your own daughter, and … Ming Xu, to take revenge on Dong Ling and Lord Wang. You put your pain on three other people. Ying and Ming Xu are innocent. I can't agree with you on this point. "Li Xiang tried his best to express his point of view in a calm tone.
He was a very stubborn person. In a certain aspect, his stubbornness was incurable.
After being reborn, Li Xiang understood the value of life better than others, but the principles in his heart would not change. If he had something to say, he would repay kindness, and he would avenge hatred. He would not drag things out, and he would not be afraid because of the other party's strength.
That was him.
Li Xiang looked directly into the First Lady's eyes without any fear. He expressed his point of view one by one, regardless of whether she agreed or accepted it.
"Tsk, you. The more I interact with you, the more interesting I find you. You're completely different from your parents. I'm really curious why they gave birth to a descendant like you. This is probably one of the reasons why that girl Ming Xu can't forget you, right? " The First Lady looked at him curiously. She had to admit that Li Xiang was one of the most interesting people she had ever met.
He would always do something that exceeded her expectations.
For example, this time, for Vilette, he risked breaking off his relationship with her to ask for help.
He clearly knew that the matter regarding Ying and Ming Xu was her pain, but he still dared to expose it in front of her, mercilessly expressing his thoughts.
However, if Li Xiang was like those men, cowering and enjoying her care, doing things according to her wishes, then it would be too boring.
"I just feel that it's too unfair for Ying and Ming Xu to vent your grievances on them," Li Xiang said calmly.
This woman was a complete lunatic. She didn't have any feelings at all.
She could even do such a thing to her own daughter. In her eyes, what was important?
Such a person, as Ming Xu's teacher, had accompanied her through her most innocent years. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
No wonder when Ming Xu first came to the Polar night, he didn't even have a normal worldview. In her eyes, what was the difference between a human life and an ant?
When he killed someone, Li Xiang would also feel a trace of pity and apprehension, but Ming Xu had never felt that. Only a white fog was reflected in her eyes. Killing was killing. She wouldn't hesitate or think too much.
After the incident with Ji Xue, she had been influenced by him. She could gradually feel the weight of life in the midst of killing. This was really great.
He absolutely couldn't let Ming Xu continue to be influenced by this woman, or her future would definitely be ruined.
"Fair? There's no fairness in this world. Is there fairness between magic users and players? Is there fairness between civilians and magic users? No one is fair. She's my daughter, so she's destined for this fate. Ming Xu looks exactly like her. I think that man always had the intention of letting her inherit the Dong Ling family. "
The First Lady seemed to have thought of something funny and suddenly laughed neurotically.
"Hey, Li Xiang. Since he wanted Ming Xu to inherit so much, I supported Ming Xu to be the first in the line of successors. Don't you think I love Ming Xu? Hahaha, of course, he still doesn't know what's going on with the disaster organs in Ming Xu's body. He probably still thinks that I did something to it. "
"Why didn't you take Ming Xu away from you?" Li Xiang felt anger surge up again. He had always been doubtful and worried about Ming Xu's body turning into disaster. Now that he heard the First Lady's explanation, it should be the fruit she had planted long ago. This woman actually wanted to use Ming Xu as a tool for her revenge!
"Take her away? Haha, Li Xiang, do you know? Although Dong Ling's Yi is powerful, he doesn't have the ability to control a family. Who do you think has been managing the Dong Ling family all these years? If he wants to stand against me, he'll have to pay the price of his entire family. "
"He thinks he's free and unrestrained, but in reality, he's just a pitiful worm imprisoned by his family. Everything he does is for the glory of his family! Every member of the Winter Ling Family has this saying ingrained in them. "
The First Lady laughed so hard that she was about to cry. After a while, she calmed herself down and continued to look at him as she said calmly, "Since you've asked me so sincerely, I can help you this once. However, you have to consider this carefully. What's left there is Cherry's remnant soul. I used magic to keep her in Forgotten Town. As long as there aren't too many disturbances from the outside world, she'll continue to live on the day I leave, waiting for hope. Isn't that good? At least she won't have to remember those painful things. "
"But she's gradually becoming a disaster."
"Is that so? That's also because of you. If it weren't for the countless ghosts' resentment feeding her, she wouldn't have been able to break free from her shackles and grow up. Since you know her identity, you should have seen what she looks like when she grows up, right? That means she's already on an irreversible path. However, as long as we maintain it and forbid her from entering Forgotten Town, she won't completely transform. "
The First Lady played with her black hair and looked at him. Suddenly, she smiled. "Of course, if that's the case, the senior you mentioned will always be there with her as a lonely ghost. If you want me to help you, I can get rid of the entire Sakura Shrine, but at the same time, her remnant will will disappear. This way, Ming Xu will lose the last chance to see her mother. "
"Make your choice."
Seeing Li Xiang's troubled expression, the First Lady seemed to feel a strong sense of pleasure.
"In order to save someone, you'll make Ming Xu lose the chance to see her mother. Is that fair to Ming Xu? This child is trying very hard to meet my requirements just to see her mother. "The First Lady pretended to be sympathetic and looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Is this very interesting? Making Sakura wait day after day for someone who will never come back and giving Ming Xu an illusory promise, isn't that cruel? "Li Xiang suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at her.
"Interesting, you're really interesting. Li Xiang, I've changed my mind. Wait for me, I'll personally come and help you."
The First Lady suddenly changed the topic, smiled, and cut off the video call.
Seeing the black screen, Li Xiang wanted to smash the communication device in his hand to the ground. It was a very unpleasant conversation.
The feeling of being casually manipulated by the other party made him feel very uncomfortable. He had to quickly become stronger and become a player in the space turbulence!
After leaving the reception room, Li Xiang rushed to the vice-principal's office and repeated Cullen's situation.
Since he couldn't count on that woman, he could only rely on the school's power to deal with Forgotten Town.
After listening to his description, because everything related to Dong Ling's family had been deleted, Jeffrey didn't know the inside story. He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "If your description is correct, this should be a high-level mysticism spell. The caster imprisoned Forgotten Town and the Sakura Shrine on that island, stopping the flow of time. Those ghosts wander day after day without being able to dissipate, causing their resentment to accumulate. If the trapped remnant consciousness continues to absorb it, it will one day turn into a disaster. "
"Then what if it's completely sealed?" Li Xiang asked.
Jeffrey shook his head and said firmly, "No, that's just treating the symptoms and not the root cause. As long as there's a possibility of turning into a disaster, it has to be eliminated first. The only question is, why are you and Shizuko the only ones whose memories haven't been erased? "
"I'm not sure either. Is it because we're tied to Senior Violet and the others?" Li Xiang shook his head. He didn't believe this reason himself. In his opinion, it was most likely because the two of them had fallen to the bottom of the Dead Sea when Osiris had descended.
Something must have changed at that time.
However, if that was the case, it would involve the tarot cards and the Dead Sea, making things more complicated. If that was the case, it was likely that someone had used the First Lady's revenge to secretly plan something.
If he and Shizuko were also pawns, then that would be too terrifying.
He subconsciously didn't think about this possibility, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that he had to pay attention to this.
"I understand. No matter what the situation is, we must send someone to investigate that Forgotten Town with you. Before that Remnant Will truly turns into a disaster, we must eliminate it." Jeffree rang the bell, and Shadow once again stepped out of the Shadow Door. Her beautiful legs wrapped in black silk stockings once again stepped out.
She stretched and pouted when she saw Li Xiang.
"There's a change in the situation?" Shadow was wearing skimpy clothes that barely covered her private parts. She seemed to have walked out of her bedroom. When she saw that Li Xiang was also there, she guessed what had happened.
"Well, according to Li Xiang's description, there's a high probability that it was done by a borderline mutant. It had such a terrifying ability before it turned into a disaster. Once it becomes a disaster, the Dead Sea will be in danger. We can't let it threaten the school," Jeffrey said firmly. "Now, most of the staff are busy with the School Championship. I'll have to trouble you to bring the assassination team and accompany him to take a look."
"Ah ah, I knew it would be troublesome." Shadow sighed and pouted. Suddenly, she grabbed Li Xiang's hand and walked toward the Shadow Door. "Kid, let's talk in my room."
"This is against the rules …" Jeffrey was about to stop her when he saw Shadow forcefully pulling Li Xiang into the Shadow Door. He could only smile bitterly.
These young people of the Mesozoic generation all had their own thoughts. In the eyes of an "old man" like him, they were children in the rebellious period of youth.
Jeffrey shook his head helplessly and continued to focus his attention on the School Championship.
In October, the School Championship decided to rearrange the order of the Chronometer Tower Consortium Universities. There were also loud calls for the last place to compete with other outstanding schools. It was very likely that the last place would be eliminated and new blood would be introduced.
At Jeffrey's age, he rarely participated in battles against the Calamities. The rest of his life was dedicated to the construction and development of Da Xue. If something like this were to happen during his term of office, his life would never be able to come to a perfect end.
Therefore, to Jeffrey, the School Championship was more important than anything else.
.....
Li Xiang, who was forcefully pulled into the Shadow Door, was pressed tightly against Shadow's plump body. Her ability to control shadows was completely incomparable to that of the Dong Ling King. The temporary Shadow Door that she opened could only barely accommodate one person. Now that the two of them were squeezed together, Li Xiang felt that he was about to be forcefully squeezed into her body.
When he finally got out of the Shadow Door, he held his knees and gasped for breath. Going through the Shadow Door required too much of his Physique. Even he found it difficult to adapt in a short time.
Shadow casually tied up her long hair with pink underwear on the table. She was surprised to see that he did not vomit.
She patted Li Xiang's back heavily and said with a smile, "Not bad, I thought you couldn't withstand the pressure of the Shadow Door."
"Cough cough cough …" Li Xiang, who had finally recovered, was almost knocked out by her pat.
This woman was of the same level as Hestria, and she did not hold back.
He looked around and was shocked to find that this was not a bedroom, but a small armory!
It was full of all kinds of cold weapons, hanging on the wall, casually thrown on the bed, and a large pile on the ground. If he was not careful, his feet might be gone!
"Ah, sorry, I didn't have time to tidy it up." Shadow smiled and bent down to tidy up the pile of daggers on the ground. "I'll do it, you tell me."
Li Xiang repeated it again. He was afraid that she would not take it seriously, so he especially emphasized the horror of the evolved Sakura and the unusualness of the skeleton soldiers.
"Another troublesome mission. I thought I could have a good rest these few days." Shadow showed a dissatisfied expression. She opened her legs wide and sat opposite Li Xiang without any scruples. She took out a can of beer from the fridge and gulped it down.
She did not say too much and immediately contacted the assassination team under her, planning to set off tomorrow.
Shadow was the kind of person who did not move, but when she moved, she was swift and decisive.
Because Li Xiang had disturbed her rare weekend break, and she heard that he was also studying assassination under her name, Shadow was instantly interested and asked him to practice assassination techniques with her.
The next morning, Li Xiang, with dark circles and panda eyes, followed Shadow to the helipad where the assassination team's black and white combat airship was docked.
Rows of masked assassins in tight-fitting clothes stood beside the airship.
The assassination team was a team trained by Shadow. They were in charge of carrying out special missions for the school and maintaining the school's security.
Among them were administrative staff, third-year, and fourth-year students. Their identities were never revealed, and they all took pride in being able to work in the assassination team.
A murderous aura quietly filled the air.
"Let's go. I want to see how terrifying that remnant consciousness is." Shadow picked up Li Xiang and entered the airship.
Li Xiang knew that Shadow's action meant that things had not eased, but rather than waiting for the First Lady to continue stirring up trouble, he would rather save Villette and let Sakura's remnant consciousness rest in peace.
It was too cruel to make her wait endlessly and gradually turn into a disaster.
Rather than that, it was better to be free.
"Once it becomes a disaster, it will become a different kind of creature. No matter what it was before, it is now an enemy, an absolute enemy." Shadow wiped her black dagger and whispered to him, "You have to be prepared. If that senior of yours has really turned into one of them, she must be killed."
'I'm so scared …' Thinking of the letter Villette left behind, Li Xiang frowned and did not speak.
