"Good master." Not disappointed by the master's refusal, the maid then said to Xiaohui: "Mr. Hogan has been waiting in the lobby for a long time, are you not seeing anyone today?"
"No." Xiaohui said firmly.
After learning about Li Zheng's recent online activities from Haima and her sister, Xiaohui stopped the inefficient behavior of looking for strange people and strange things all over the world, and started to concentrate on blocking Li Zheng on the Internet.
She wanted to match the legendary "42", and... at least, she had to ask Li Zheng about some things in person.
but……
Xiaohui looked at her record - she has won 72 consecutive victories, and he has matched her hippocampus three times. It stands to reason that all she can be matched with now are those acquaintances, but she has not seen "42" for a long time...
This obviously shows that it is not meaningful to continue to surround Li Zheng now, and he should not be online today.
"Okay, I'm going to report to Mr. Hogan." At this moment, the maid's voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait." Xiaohui put away her dueling disk, walked out from the quilt, and said to the maid outside the door, "I'll change my clothes."
"Uh...yes." Although the maid was a little strange, she did as she said, "Then, I'll wait here."
Chapter 273 Premature Burial
In the main hall of the shrine on the island of life and death, a bearded man was waiting in the main hall.
When the maid told him that the "Lord of Life and Death" could see him today, he didn't know how to express the excitement in his heart.
The man's name was Hogan, Hogan was his last name, but his name was actually Richard.If a certain spirit is here, it can be seen from the shape of his face and his surname that he will have a descendant who will play an important role in "Yu-Gi-Oh! Feather" card group.
Judging by the clothes Hogan is wearing, it is clear that he is not a wealthy person.In fact, Hogan is just the leader of a small company, and there are only a few dozen people under him, which is nothing compared to those dignitaries who gave gifts to Xiaohui.
If those dignitaries knew that he, a little Richard Hogan, could come to the island of life and death and meet Dongfeng Guhui, the Hogan family might be overthrown in an instant.
The reason why he was able to come to the main hall of the shrine on this island of life and death was not because of anything else, but because he had provided Xiaohui with a clue back then, and Xiaohui returned him a favor.
The clue back then was naturally a strange person who was suspected of being haunted by Li Zheng. Although it was found out in the end that it was just a farce, Xiaohui didn't intend to just ignore her previous promise like this.
So when she had nothing to do today, she planned to come out to meet this Richard Hogan.
"Crench."
Not long after, the door of the main hall opened, and Hogan looked up immediately.
The first person who came out was only a maid—it is said that when Hogan knew that there were maids on this island of life and death, he was very shocked.In the eyes of outsiders, Dongfeng Guhui should be that kind of extraterrestrial expert.
And in the traditional sense, there is only one person locked away as an otaku expert, how can there be a world expert who has so many sisters...
However, Hogan is really envious of these girls - if the opportunity to work as a maid here is put up for auction, how many rich and powerful families will want to send their daughters here .
【Ahhhhhhh, what am I thinking...】 Hogan shook his head in shame: 【How can those ordinary people be accommodated here, I must be crazy...】
"It will be very troublesome." A clear and beautiful voice suddenly sounded beside Hogan, followed by the sound of two teacups being put down: "If you have nothing to do with it, come in."
"Eh..." Hogan blushed as if someone had read his mind. He quickly raised his head, only to find a mouthless white-haired girl sitting in front of him.
This white hair is naturally Xiaohui. She was well-known before her "retirement". Her duel strength is superb, her appearance is very good-looking, and at the same time she has that kind of untouched temperament... Although Xiaohui herself doesn't like those She never accepts interviews for things like entertainment, but she doesn't know how many times she has been on the cover and how many times she has become a man of the hour.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Hogan hadn't spoken, Xiaohui tilted her head and looked at him like this.
"Ah, I'm so sorry." Hogan felt his negligence, so he hurriedly said: "This time I brought the materials and the little girl's bones. This time... can you help me?"
"Materials? Bones?"
However, it was Xiaohui's puzzled face that responded to Hogan—she seemed to have no idea what Hogan was talking about.
"Did you forget?" A maid beside me with a soft black and long straight reminded Xiaohui: "This Mr. Hogan's daughter died of illness a year ago. He wanted you to resurrect his daughter. Did you not see her?" Instead, let us tell him to remember to bring the bones and Olihagang next time."
"Eh, me?" Xiaohui was still a little unclear.
The maid nodded and said, "Yes, you said 'bring your own materials'."
"So that's how it is..." After habitually probing Hogan's thoughts, knowing that he had no other intentions but just wanted to see her daughter again, Xiaohui blinked and said to him, "Rules?"
"Yes! I haven't dared to forget this year!" Hogan replied reflexively: "There are three main points: first, the things here are not allowed to be disclosed; second, prepare the materials yourself; third, It depends."
"It depends on the method." Xiaohui lowered her head and explained, "For example, this time... Olihagang?"
Hogan pointed out that this should be to ask him to take out the "Olihagang Magic Metal" he prepared, so he excitedly took out a small blue square-although this metal is said to have inherited Doma's legacy In the eyes of the high-level Taiyi, it is only a basic material, but it is still a very precious thing in the eyes of ordinary people in this world.
In terms of Richard Hogan's ability, it can be said that he tried his best to get this thing, if it wasn't for the order of Xiaohui, a maid from the Island of Life and Death (actually, he just mentioned it casually) If the outlying islands help him search together, Richard may not be able to get such a small piece of "Olihagang magic metal" in his life.
After stroking the cold Olihagang, Xiao Hui asked the maid beside her to hand over a small knife, and began to carve something on the Olihagang.
During this period, she asked Richard without raising her head: "Live here, or live at your house?"
"Huh?" Richard didn't understand what was going on at the first time when facing the lines that didn't match the previous ones.
"Well, please allow me to explain." It was still the black long straight maid, she explained softly to Richard in front of her: "'Stay here' means that the master uses his own power to revive Lingmei; and' The meaning of "living in your house" is to use your power to revive Lingmei."
"My power? What power can I have?" Richard still couldn't understand what Xiaohui meant.
"The master is about to cast a spell called 'premature burial'." Hei Changzhi added softly: "In general, it is to sacrifice one-fifth of a person's life, and the seal is in use" In the amulet made by Olihagang Magic Metal', let this amulet have the ability to return someone's soul from the underworld to the mortal world; if you choose to use your own power, then this one-fifth of life and souls will be paid by you."
"Does this... make any difference?"
"The 'main soul' is different - if you pay for the soul, then after your daughter is reborn, she will simply be linked to you - live and die together, not related to any outsider. The advantage is in her second When the end of life comes, the soul is still free and can return to the underworld." Another maid with a cool short hair and a flat chest who had been drinking tea at the side spoke, her voice was colder than that of the long-haired girl before , and did not use honorifics: "And if we pay the price, your daughter is still free while she is alive, but once she loses her second life, her soul will belong to the master. I am not free, only the master said Calculate."
Richard was silent, and he began to fall into a tangled choice.
In fact, if Li Zheng was here, he would definitely want to complain about the maid’s mystification——Wodetian, a "monster after the transfer of control returns to the original owner's graveyard/exclusion zone/card group/hand after leaving the field" When can you speak so high-end?
Chapter 274 Premature Burial (Two in One)
At this moment, in Richard's heart, it was extremely tangled.
Regardless of the possibility that Xiaohui's maid lied to him, the other party didn't bother to use such a shameless trick on a little person like herself who wanted nothing in their eyes.In other words, this choice is indeed something he needs to face.
If it is possible, Richard hopes that his daughter's soul can go free, so he needs to pay the one-fifth of the vitality; but if he binds his own soul, then the daughter's life after rebirth Life in the world is destined to be a short trip.
Richard clearly remembered that the short-haired maid said the word "together to die together" just now, and confirmed to the maid again that the meaning of "together to die together" was that if he, as the "main soul", died, then After the daughter will die 72 hours later, Richard is even more entangled.
He knew that he was just an ordinary mortal, and he would naturally leave before his daughter...but if he chose to pay his own vitality now, his daughter would go with him.
In fact, if it's just for Richard's own consideration, these two options don't really matter.Anyway, he won't be able to see his daughter after he's dead, can he?However, Richard was willing to come here through untold hardships, and found the material after nine deaths. The so-called was not just to satisfy his own wish.
He hoped that his daughter could live like a normal person again and finish the life he should have lived.
"Please... treat her well." Richard finally made a choice—maybe this is the limitation of mortals, and he finally hoped that his daughter would have a second life like a normal person, rather than in After I left, I could only die helplessly.
"My honor." The black long straight maid who spoke before smiled slightly, and after slightly bowing to Richard, she took out a silver knife from her maid skirt, and began to gesticulate on her wrist .
