CH 84.2

Had they seen his face before? How was that possible?

He was of mixed race and accepted this fact openly.

Even when going to the territories of other races, he would always cover his head with a hood.

He temporarily changed to a human face to cooperate with Bai Lixin’s investigation, so even if he had used it before, it should be their first time seeing it.

Originally, he was quite satisfied with this face he had changed to and even expected Bai Lixin’s stunned expression in the same way he was stunned by the latter’s appearance.

But the other party did not have much of a reaction and even revealed an unexpected and reasonable understanding, as if he had naturally accepted the face.

Dijia looked at the trio and then looked at Bai Lixin beside him, his eyes thoughtful.

Li Cancan, “I asked the attendants and they said that the Emperor, the Empress, and the Emperor of Heaven would appear shortly.”

Bai Lixin looked up at the deliberately raised steps above, on which three luxurious chairs had been placed.

Armor-clad guards were standing at attention. They looked solemn and didn’t allow anyone to desecrate or blaspheme.

Bai Lixin, “Then let’s wait a little longer. Don’t stay in one place; get a glass of wine and casually stroll around. Staying in the corner like a lonely puppy is too conspicuous.”

“Spread out, and if there is a situation, send a message in the chat.”

Xia Chi and the other two, “Okay.”

At that moment, a waiter holding a tray of wine glasses passed by.

Bai Lixin smoothly took two glasses of brandy and naturally handed one to Dijia beside him, “Let’s go over there, Master.”

Dijia silently took the glass and silently followed Bai Lixin.

Behind him came Li Cancan’s whispered words.

Dijia quietly chanted a spell to listen in on their conversation.

Li Cancan, “How come he looks exactly like the big bosses who appeared in Bai Lixin’s previous copies?”

Liang Xi, “Are they the same person?”

Xia Chi, “Who knows? I asked my brother, but he wouldn’t say anything. Stop talking, let’s go.”

Li Cancan and Liang Xi, “Okay.”

The conversation stopped, and Dijia looked at Bai Lixin in front of him with complicated eyes. There seemed to be some extra memories in his mind.

He wanted to capture those memories, but those memories were like a loach burrowed into the wet mud; they were slippery and he simply couldn’t catch them.

He seemed to see a scene of the young man transformed into a merman in the deep sea.

Bai Lixin did not notice the Dijia’s abnormality because he was doing something else.

He was studying the Mermaid’s Heart.

He was busy after the Mermaid Heart’s upgrade yesterday, so it was only now that he had time to seriously understand the skills of the Mermaid Heart after it was full level.

[Mermaid Heart, S-grade prop. Current level is lv10, and is at full level.]

[Lv10 skills are described as follows:

Can heal all body injuries, including restoration of mutilated limbs.]

[2. Can cure poisons except for those caused by curses, magic, and spell-like toxins.]

[3. Can do resurrection. (Because resurrection is too complicated, each resurrection of a living being requires a certain amount of energy, and resurrection cannot be performed when energy is insufficient. The current energy is at full level.)]

[Friendly reminder: Energy can be obtained through healing.]

Bai Lixin studied the Mermaid Heart’s skills, and his consciousness would go down the panel.

Suddenly, the panel that was just a blue background now had a small orb on the right side.

The orb was filled with a golden-green liquid, and there was a small line of text below it.

[Energy reserve ball required for resurrection. The energy in the reserve ball is currently full.]

It turns out that there is a limit to resurrecting a person, but how much energy is needed to resurrect a person?

Bai Lixin tried to activate the third skill of the Mermaid Heart and made Dijia his target.

[Ding! The target is a surviving lifeform and cannot be resurrected. Resurrection failed; energy is not deducted.]

Bai Lixin subconsciously tugged at the small bangs on his forehead.

How could he forget that although Dijia was ossified, he was not dead in essence?

Bai Lixin lowered his head to seriously study the Mermaid’s heart, unaware of Dijia’s increasingly complex gaze as he looked at him.

Just when Bai Lixin was walking while studying the Mermaid Heart, Dijia suddenly shot out his hand and pulled Bai Lixin’s advancing shoulder.

Bai Lixin looked back in confusion and followed the direction of Dijia’s finger to look at the second floor.

The second floor wasn’t crowded, and he saw a familiar figure sneaking into a corner.

Wen Ziqing?

He was also here?

Dijia, “That person seems to be the person you are looking for. Go up and take a look.”

Bai Lixin, “Okay, let’s go.”

The two walked naturally and elegantly to the second floor with their wine glasses, and soon arrived at the corner where Wen Ziqing had disappeared.

Almost all the guests were gathered on the first floor, and the second floor had a few people. They turned a corner into the corridor, but it was empty. Even Wen Ziqing, who had come this way, was nowhere to be seen.

The corridor was covered with a red velvet carpet, and there was no sound when they stepped on it.

This corridor was just a passage and there were no doors on both sides, but at the end was a “d” fork and there was a door directly in front of them.

Bai Lixin and Dijia looked at each other and walked straight through the long passage to another corridor with doors.

Dijia was frowning as they silently walked down the corridor.

He and Bai Lixin had only known each other for five days. Except for the last three days, the time he spent with Bai Lixin in the first two days only added up to a few hours.

It was such a short period of time, but he felt as if he had been with Bai Lixin for a long, long time, so long that they could understand each other just by looking at each other.

That tacit understanding seemed to be engraved deep into his marrow, and it came from the soul.

Dijia recalled the image of the merman he saw.

In addition to the image of Bai Lixin transformed into a merman, he later saw more.

That simple image seemed to be some kind of switch that opened some locked box in the depths of his soul.

He saw “himself” holding the merman in a cage, using his tentacles to play with his body.

He saw “himself” locking the merman in the shell, deliberately squeezing the seawater out of the shell, just to see the merman transform into his human appearance.

But these were only fragmented images, with one frame after another jumping from one point in time to another, and he couldn’t form a complete picture.

There were no merfolk in this world, and he did not appear as thick fog.

But these memories were so real and vivid, as if he had experienced them in person.

Xia Chi and the other two also said they had seen this face.

Could it be that it was not the first time he and Bai Lixin had met? What had happened to them before?
