Chapter 136 Showdown, I am also the recipient, the King of Faceless and Thousand Faces (4K)
Sunlight penetrated into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating half of Xue Jing's face sitting on the sofa.
He crossed his arms and looked thoughtful, thinking about something.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
The voice was very soft, and Xue Jing came back to her senses. Instead of getting up, she moved her fingers.
The shadow at the door was drawn out of the black airflow, condensed into a substantial shadow hand, and turned the door handle.
Xue Wan, who was holding Maomao, looked a little nervous when she saw the door being opened. She was about to speak, but she didn't see her brother.
He walked in doubtfully, passed through the corridor in the room, and came to the living room, only to see Xue Jing sitting on the sofa, half of her body shrouded in shadow.
He didn't speak, and just sat there, shrouded in shadow, with only half of his face looking at Xue Wan with a calm expression.
That gesture had an inexplicable power like a gangster godfather, which made Xue Wan, who was already feeling guilty, look a little weaker.
"Sister, sit down."
Xue Jing said without any fluctuation in her tone.
Xue Wan: "..."
She let go of Maomao and then walked carefully to Xue Jing.
But instead of sitting down on a chair or sofa, she knelt down in front of Xue Jing and held his knees with both hands.
"Woof~"
Xue Wan was like a puppy coquettishly trying to please its master. She barked in a loud voice, with a very cute expression on her beautiful face. She found the cutest angle and tilted her head from below. Looking at Xue Jing, her big bright eyes were full of innocence.
Xue Jing: "..."
For this shameless woman, it was completely stress-free to act like a beggar to her younger brother.
Ever since she lost to her younger brother in a game when she was a child, she gave up her dignity as a sister from the moment she said "woof woof woof" under the oath that "a deadbeat is a dog" without hesitation.
From then on, every time he did something wrong, he would pretend to be a dog in front of Xue Jing and ask for forgiveness.
"Be honest and sit down." Xue Jing had long since given up on her behavior and just said expressionlessly.
"Oh..." Xue Wan's face was filled with cuteness. She left Xue Jing's knees with her hands, maintained her kneeling posture, moved back twice, and then sat upright, just like children sitting in rows eating fruit. of.
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"I know, I was wrong, Wang~" Xue Wan admitted her mistake without hesitation.
Xue Jing's face was expressionless: "What's wrong?"
Xue Wan kept her kneeling posture, put her hands on her thighs, and said obediently:
"When something happened, I didn't tell my family, and I overestimated my capabilities and tried to solve it myself. As a result, my brother was hurt."
Xue Jing clicked her tongue: "Don't you understand this very well?"
Although it was this person's classic three-step plan, it was really hard for him to get angry when he saw her actively admitting her mistakes and accepting lessons seriously.
After thinking for a while, Xue Jing said, "When did it happen?"
"Two months ago...my mentor, Professor Lu, showed me a performance that made the seeds bloom instantly..."
Xue Wan passed by honestly.
"After reading it, she asked me if I wanted to learn. I said yes, and she took me directly to the ceremony..."
She scratched her head, and a hint of coquettishness appeared on her pretty face: "I thought it was a magic trick, but I didn't expect it to be true, hahaha, hahaha, haha..."
Under Xue Jing's expressionless gaze, her laughter became smaller and smaller, and she returned to her well-behaved appearance.
Xue Jing thought for a while and continued to ask: "How do you feel now? What is the alienation rate?"
Xue Wan was surprised: "You even know this, Master Jing."
"I caught the woman just now and asked a lot of questions." Xue Jing said.
"Female? What does she look like?" Xue Wan tilted her head and asked.
"The left eye is colored."
"Is it Sister Aqin? You actually caught Sister Aqin?"
Xue Wan looked shocked and admired, "You are so awesome, Mr. Jing!"
Although her expression was deliberately exaggerated to please, there was also a hint of genuine surprise.
After she was separated from her younger brother by her tutor just now, she received a call from her classmate, saying that something happened at the school gate and asked her to come and see the fun. Only then did she realize that something was wrong and hurried to the scene.
After arriving at the scene, she saw traces of fighting that clearly belonged to the recipients of the Flower God Society. Combined with the time Xue Jing left school just now, she thought that something had happened to her younger brother.
Then he received a call from Xue Jing and rushed to the hotel.
She didn't know the specific process of what happened.
As far as she knew, the Nagushacha plant cultivated by Sister Aqin was almost the absolute nemesis of martial arts masters.
As a martial arts master, his younger brother was actually able to defeat her and even capture her...
"That person said that he wanted me to join the religion and perform a ceremony for me to be blessed so that I could believe in your Lord of Thousand Reds."
"I didn't agree, so she wanted to buy and sell me by force, tie me back, and cook the rice before it was raw."
"It was your mentor, Professor Lu, who ordered her."
Xue Jing gave a general explanation.
After listening to this, Xue Wan basically understood the reason for the whole thing.
There was a complicated look in her eyes, and she said softly: "Don't worry, Ah Jing, this kind of thing won't happen a second time... My sister will protect you."
Xue Jing coughed dryly.
"Speaking of this, I also have something to tell you."
After thinking for a while, he said:
"Actually, I didn't defeat that woman with martial arts."
Xue Wan looked confused, "Huh?"
Then Xue Wan seemed to have thought of something. She stood up with a shocked look on her face and slapped the table next to her hard.
"Could it be that you couldn't beat her, so you betrayed your lust to seduce her, and then turned back on her while she was having sex on the bed——!!"
Xue Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, directly used the shadow flame to activate a palm, and slapped her head, making a crisp sound.
"What are you thinking about? You are too humble."
Xue Jing said helplessly.
Xue Wan covered the head that was patted, looked at the hand of Shadow Flame floating beside him, and blinked.
"This is?"
Xue Jing crossed her hands and placed them on her chin: "Sister, I have a showdown."
"I am also a recipient!"
Xue Wan's eyes widened: "You too...?"
"how so……"
she murmured.
Being a recipient is a very dangerous profession. You have to live in fear of being polluted and alienated your whole life. You don't know when you will lose yourself and become a monster.
It is extremely dangerous to come into contact with this hidden world. The friction between different sects, the hunting by the semi-official lunatic organization, and the competition for limited positions on the 'stairs' are beyond description.
The last thing she wants to see is for her family to be involved in this world.
However, his most cherished brother... actually became the recipient.
Xue Wan did not doubt Xue Jing's words, and the black flame's right hand floating next to him was the best evidence. This was obviously an 'unconventional' power that could not be mastered by ordinary people.
Her eyes became serious and she asked:
"Ajing, which sect held the ceremony for you? Which god blessed you?"
Xue Jing blinked and said the reason he had just thought of.
"There is no sect. In fact, I don't even know why I became a recipient."
"I only know that the name of the strange god who blessed me is..."
"——The King of Faceless and Thousand Faces."
Xue Jing said slowly.
This name... was made up by him.
Just now, he had already thought about it.
It is inevitable that his divine skills will be exposed, and he must find a reasonable reason to explain the source of his abilities.
The power and unreasonableness of divine skills can only be explained by the power of the recipient's supernatural god who is also unreasonable.
From this, he decided to package himself as a recipient!
So, what kind of supernatural god does the recipient have to be to explain the many abilities he possesses?
Fortunately now, there are only two obvious skills: Shadow Flame and Plant Contract, but he will definitely activate more divine skills in the future.
There will definitely have to be a new explanation at that time - then it would be better to set up an ability that can explain everything from the beginning.
So, he made up a non-existent god - the King of Faceless and Thousand Faces.
The so-called ‘faceless’ means that this god does not actually exist and has no real body.
The so-called "Thousand Appearances" is to explain the many abilities he will have.
It has a thousand appearances and a thousand abilities, but actually does not exist, and there is no true God.
That is to say - the king without appearance and the king with thousands of appearances.
"The King of No Appearance and Thousand Appearances?" Xue Wan looked thoughtful and then shook his head.
"never heard before……"
Xue Jing remained calm, "That's not normal. There are so many supernatural gods, you can't know them all."
After a pause, he continued:
"In fact, I just became a recipient not long ago, and I don't know much about it. I even learned that recipients can be polluted and alienated. I learned about it from the woman just now."
"in addition--"
Before Xue Jing could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xue Wan's surprised voice.
"Wait a minute, A-Jing, you just said that you haven't gone through the ceremony of receiving the gift, and you don't even know why you became the recipient?"
Xue Jing blinked: "That's right."
Xue Wan looked thoughtful and murmured: "Could it be that he is the one who was born to be gifted...the son chosen by God?"
Xue Jing groaned and asked doubtfully: "The chosen son of God? What kind of statement is this?"
What does he correspond to the things he just talked about for convenience?
Xue Wan shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics. I just heard this statement from my instructor by chance."
"Generally, a recipient is a person who chooses a god. It is a person who flatters the gods, offers his faith, and performs a gift ceremony. The gods respond to him, and then he becomes a recipient."
"But those who are born with gifts are different. They are 'gods who choose people'. After the gods see the person they like, they deign to take the initiative to choose him and give him divine power, so he is called the 'god's chosen son'. "
"According to my mentor, there are no more than twenty people in the world who are gifted with this kind of gift."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "It sounds awesome."
"It is indeed powerful. This kind of person chosen by God does not need to hold a ceremony to receive the gift, does not need to worry about competing for the position of the 'ladder', and does not have the worries of pollution and alienation. As time goes by, he can naturally 'climb the ladder'. Become stronger……"
Worry appeared in Xue Wan's eyes.
"But, there's a problem."
"All the chosen sons of God will suddenly disappear without a trace at some point. This is called the 'divine phenomenon'."
"The reason for the disappearance is still unknown. Why it disappeared, where it went, and even the pattern of the disappearance time are all unknown."
"Currently, the longest time the Chosen Son of God has existed in the world is forty-six years old."
Xue Wan put the nail of her thumb into her mouth and bit it tightly with her neat silver teeth.
"If you are the chosen son of God, then..."
Xue Jing patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
He didn't expect that this statement would add a psychological burden to Xue Wan.
But now I can only make mistakes... You can't tell me about the skill panel, right?
This is his deepest secret, something he will never tell even if he dies. Even to his family, he will never expose it.
"Put my problem aside for now and solve your problem first." Xue Jing said softly.
"My question?" Xue Wan was confused.
Xue Jing asked: "Where is your stigmata?"
"Uh..." Xue Wan showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing her like this, Xue Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, it can't be a sensitive position, right?"
That would be a bit troublesome...
"Not really."
Xue Wan hesitated for a while, but gritted her teeth, put her hands on the hem of her top, and lifted it up, revealing her slender waist.
Xue Jing looked over and found an abnormality in his belly button.
A red octahedral gemstone hangs from her beautiful navel that stands erect because of her slim figure, which looks like a navel nail.
Although she looks very good-looking, she feels like...a coquettish bitch.
After just looking at Xue Jing, Xue Wan immediately put down her clothes and blushed:
"Okay, okay, stop looking."
It was quite embarrassing for his own brother to see this strange stigmata.
Xue Jing shook her head and directly lifted up her clothes, revealing her slender waist and navel.
"You, what are you doing!"
Xue Wan's eyes widened.
"I'm your sister, my real sister!"
Xue Jing rolled his eyes: "Can you stop thinking like this? What can I do to you?"
"Just now, I tested an ability of the 'Lord of Faceless and Thousand Faces' from the woman who is your colleague, which can solve your problem of pollution and alienation."
"Okay, don't move, let me be healthy!"
The cat who has been watching from the beginning until now has an anthropomorphic expression on his face and is speechless.
"Just look at it, why are you being mean to me..." Xue Wan muttered, stopped struggling, and turned her face away as if she was letting you take what you wanted.
Xue Jing held the hem of her clothes with one hand, and touched the ruby-like sacred mark with the fingers of the other hand.
[Divine substance detected, divinity is being absorbed...]
"How do you feel?" Xue Jing asked.
Xue Wan closed her eyes and felt it carefully, then said:
"It seems... there is a feeling that something is being taken away."
