85. The Cthulhu Descends (17)
How could Xiao Hei be here? !
Ye He tentatively called the black cat. Every time he heard his voice before, the black cat would open his eyes happily and pounce on it, but this time, the other party did not respond.
His heart suddenly tightened, and even if he was afraid of Ilphis in front of him, he had to bite the bullet and ask: "Why is it here? What did you do to it?!"
Seeing Ye He's nervousness, Ilpheus chuckled lightly, and there was a bit of joy in his voice: "You care about it, don't worry, it's just asleep now."
Because the power to enter the human world was to be sealed, he had to temporarily enter the body of this black cat, but his consciousness also became chaotic, and he could only barely retain a bit of sanity, so that he would not become a real wild cat.
Only in his dreams can Ilpheus regain his strength, remember what happened during the day, remember the gentleness when Ye He took him into his arms, and remember the temperature of the opponent's palm, and... . Things tonight.
At first, he wondered why he would follow Ye He back, and he didn't understand the fascinating attraction of him until he got close to him.
At first, Ilpheus hated being a cat, but now he likes this feeling. He enjoys Ye He's attention all on him.
Although he doesn't know what this emotion is, it doesn't prevent him from wanting to monopolize the entire field of vision of the other party.
Seeing Ilphis getting closer and closer to him, Ye He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but his body still couldn't move.
Seeing Ye He still looked like he didn't believe it, Ilpheus suddenly reached out and touched the black cat's head. The black cat, who had closed his eyes, also opened his eyes and rubbed his palm affectionately.
This is just a small illusion, but it is enough to let Ye He know that there is nothing wrong with the black cat.
Ilphis originally hoped to show his harmlessness through the black cat being close to him, but Ye He's sight on the black cat was relaxed, but his sight was a bit more hostile besides fear.
.......How is this going?
Before, Ye He only thought that the black cat's pupils looked like Ilphis, but now they were put together to discover that they were just simple images, which were exactly the same.
Seeing the black cat he raised and Ilphis got mixed up, Ye He felt sore in his heart. This feeling was like he finally ran away with the older child and the scum daddy who had only met once. Unable to control the gaze looking at Ilpheus.
But thinking that the child was still in the other's hands, Ye He couldn't help but sighed, and tentatively stretched out his hand to Ilpheus: "Then you can give it back to me?"
For some reason, he felt that Ilpheus tonight seemed to be very talkative, but it also meant more suspicious.
Ilpheus touched the cat's head, and then actually handed the black cat to Ye He.
Looking at the black cat in his arms, Ye He finally let go of the heart that had been hanging high.
After holding the cat, Ye He understood that the next thing to do was to delay time. He looked at Ilpheus, who was within easy reach, racking his brains to find the question: "Why can you shuttle in the dream? You...are you human?"
He was prepared in his heart that Ilpheus would not answer, but he did not expect that the other party nodded: "I am a human."
Ye He: "......"
Hearing Ilpheus' answer, his face showed a dull look for a while, and his eyes fell on the other party's delicate face and long silver-white hair.
He had always guessed that the other party was a ghost before, and now asking this question is just to corroborate his guess.
But what Ling Yehe didn't expect was that Ilpheus actually said he was a human being? !
Facing Ye He's eyes, Ilpheus did not have the slightest guilty conscience. He faintly realized that it was because his behavior scared Ye He last night that Ye He implicated the black cat during the day.
Ilpheus knew that humans were afraid of themselves before, and had not paid attention to it, but enjoyed accepting their fears before killing each other.
But facing Ye He, he didn't want to be like this.
After realizing that Ye He was afraid of himself, Ilphis wanted to reverse the situation.
He didn't want Ye He to be afraid of himself after knowing his true identity, so he decided to learn to be a human with Ye He.
Ye He hugged the cat, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "But how can humans travel through other people's dreams casually..."
Ilphis fixedly looked at Ye He: "We are the same kind of people."
His understanding of humans is limited to the capable people who have successfully summoned him. It is obvious that Ye He can appear in the dreams of others.
Being stared at by Ilphis, Ye He became inexplicably guilty. He remembered that he could travel between dreams, but it was because of props.
Does Ilphis mean that he is also a tasker?
Ye He looked at Ilphis in front of him, and after thinking that the other party was a tasker, the fear in his heart diminished somewhat.
Just thinking of what happened before, he really couldn't let go of his vigilance. Had it not been for not being able to move now, Ye He would have held the black cat and distanced himself from Ilpheis long ago.
Ye He didn't know how long time had passed, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to delay time: "What is your mission?"
Ilpheus replied calmly: "Killing."
Ye He's neck became cold, and his expression looked a little more frightened when he looked at the other party. Although knowing that Ilpheus's gaze was not his own, he would have killed him directly when he met him on the first side, but he still couldn't hide his horror when he saw that the other party was able to say these words calmly.
Ilpheus didn't realize how shocking his words were. Apart from lying about his identity, he was still honest with Ye He in other respects.
It took a long time for Ye He to find his voice: "Then why are you treating me..."
The second half of the sentence was too ashamed that he could not say it for a while, but Ilpheus had clearly understood what he meant.
The scene in front of him suddenly disappeared little by little, and Ye He realized that he was about to leave his dream.
It seemed that Aaron had woke up.
Although this was what he had expected before, he had not yet been able to ask the answer from Ilpheus.
Ye He looked at Ilphis and wanted to ask an answer, but he couldn't resist the heaviness of his eyelids.
Just when he was a little unwilling, he felt that he had fallen into an embrace, and Ilpheus lowered his head and said in his ear: "Let's play a game."
Ye He's attention instantly fell on the other party's words, and he failed to notice that the moonlight outside Ilpheus's window was gradually weakening, as if it were being blocked by a huge shadow.
"If you can guess who I am within two weeks, I will answer your question and help you complete your order regarding Ariel, and I won't show up again."
Ye He's expression changed when he heard what the other party said.
It seems that Ilpheus was by his side before, so he knew about Ariel's commission.
Ilpheus continued: "But on the contrary, if you fail, you will be mine..."
In the second half, Ye He couldn't hear clearly. He didn't want to play this game, but the temptation of Ilfes disappearing from his world was too great.
Although the other party didn't do anything today, Ye He couldn't make sure that the other party would do other things in the future.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ye He still agreed. After all, he thought about it carefully and felt that he still had the chance to win.
Ilpheus might not know, but reasoning is his strong point.
not to mention......
What's more, even if he loses, he will leave the copy long ago.
Hearing Ye He's answer, a smile appeared on the corner of Ilphis' lips, knowing that his agreement with Ye He had taken effect.
Aaron is dead.
Because he didn't want to live in the room where Jim died before, he could only find another room to live in.
Seeing that the other party hadn't come out for a long time, the other people had already anticipated his fate.
Before entering his room, Windsor and Lilian had already smelled an unpleasant smell of corpses, they couldn't help frowning, and the two of them were already mentally prepared.
Only after opening the door, they couldn't help being surprised by the scene in front of them.
Aaron's body seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time. The whole body had been swollen, and the sheets under him were covered with water. His cheeks and limbs have been bitten into pits and bumps, like a bumpy gravel road.
Windsor glanced at it and couldn't help hiding behind Anderson. Although Lilian was not so scared, she showed a look of horror when she saw the other party's behavior.
It's just that before the hands of the two people touched the corner of Anderse's clothes, they saw each other walk directly to the side of Aaron's bed.
The more you walk into the room, the more stinky the corpse becomes. Both Windsor and Lilian had already pinched their noses intolerably, but Anderse didn't seem to smell it, his expression unchanged.
He didn't know where he took out the tissue, and untied Aaron's clothes under the tissue, and the name was reflected on the other's swollen skin.
There was only a little skin on Aaron's neck that was attached to his head, and with Anderse's movements, his head fell directly to the ground.
.......What exactly happened in your dream?
Windsor glanced at each other with the head that fell on the ground, and couldn't help shivering, shivering and looking away.
She didn't have much contact with Aaron, so she felt more afraid of the other's death.
Anderse threw the tissue aside and looked at the two of them: "Call the mayor."
Windsor was taken aback: "Huh? But Aaron's death is related to the mayor..."
She didn't understand why Anderse wanted the mayor to come over, after all, they already knew that the other party was the murderer.
Lilian had already obediently took out her cell phone and called the mayor.
Anderse smiled and explained warmly: "Someone has to deal with the corpse."
But looking at the smile on the other's face, Anderse is really an approachable person, but only Lilian and Windsor know how difficult it is to get close to each other.
Before, Jim's body was dragged away with the help of the landlord and uncle cameraman. Now that the landlord is not there, the handling of Aaron's body has fallen on them.
The mayorβs phone was connected quickly, as if he still remembered the previous conflict, his tone was a bit lukewarm.
It wasn't until Lilian explained the intention of the call that he seemed to react, saying "I'm coming soon" and then hung up the phone.
The mayor did come very quickly, this time his expression was quite calm, and there was joy in his eyes. But the joy quickly passed, turning into hypocritical anger: "How could this happen in the small town?! Who actually did it?"
Lilian and Windsor both knew that he was doing a show, so they were in no mood to say yes.
Unexpectedly, Anderse suddenly said unhurriedly: "Maybe you can ask the gentleman next to you."
The author has something to say: Ye He: This round is a sure-win round
