"Who are you?" Jig pulled out his Akiba knife and looked at the strange woman in front of him warily.
"Me?" The woman smiled crisply, and her laughter floated gently into Jig's ears like a silver bell. "I'm just a fortune teller who can predict the future and observe destiny." She lowered her eyes and said calmly.
"My name is Elise Luck Chanter. I come from the Demon World. My name in the human world is Alice."
"Demon World!" Jig was startled and immediately raised his Akiye Knife, always on guard against her. He heard Kazan talk about the Demon World, and the demons there are not easy to mess with. "What do you want to do?"
"Haha~ Relax, little handsome boy~" Alice walked over slowly and gently pressed the Akiba knife that Jig was holding tightly. She didn't use much strength, but she easily suppressed Jig's full strength, "Although I come from the demon world, I am not a demon~" She raised her hands, with a golden harp in her hands, and started playing it gently. "My soul has already drifted into the distance with the white clouds..." The sun shone through the layers of branches on her body, and her slightly faded colored robe shone in the sunlight.
"...What is your purpose?" Jig temporarily relaxed his guard. This person's strength was far superior to his own. It was easy to kill him. There was no need to waste words here. She probably had another purpose.
"So smart. Little handsome guy." Alice clapped and laughed, "He is indeed the one chosen by the ghosts and gods."
"..." Jig was not too surprised by this, because he felt that there was a very keen light in this woman's eyes that could look directly into people's souls. Seen by her, it seemed as if all the secrets could not be hidden from her eyes.
"If a person is stared deeply by the devil, his eyes will go blind. "
"If a person is seen by Alice's eyes, then his secret will be exposed. "
"If I come a little later, this little chaotic spirit girl who was tainted by the evil dragon will kill you." Alice changed her charming smile and said seriously.
"What!" Jig's golden pupils shrank suddenly to a point, "What do you know?"
Alice walked to Lily and stroked her gently. "This little girl...is not from this world." "I already know this." From Lily's previous words, Jig could tell that Lily did not belong to this world, but had been living in a world without magic and advanced technology.
"And...she has no soul."
"!!" Jig seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his body trembled violently, "How is this possible?"
Alice raised her head and stared at Jig coldly with her dark eyes, "Her soul has been eaten by the evil dragon."
"No!!!" Jig rushed over and grabbed Alice, "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!!"
Alice was not angry and let Jig hold her like this.
Due to too much strength, Alice's robe was torn open by Jig, and her snow-white skin was exposed.
Jig's face blushed slightly, turned his head away, and coughed lightly.
"Ahem...I'm sorry."
"Haha..." Alice responded with a bright smile to Jig, "It's okay."
"Do you...like her very much?"
Jig turned his head and glanced at the unconscious Lily with distress.
In the golden eyes, little rays of light flashed gently.
"Yes."
"I like it very much."
………………
In the quiet woods, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the three of them. In the golden ocean, two long shadows looked at each other in silence.
"Then..." Alice sighed, "I'll help you."
As she said that, she raised her hand and muttered a strange and difficult mantra in her mouth. Jig actually felt that this mantra was somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
A huge golden light flew out of her body and merged into Lily's body.
"This spell?..."
Jig worked hard to stir up the river of forgetfulness, trying to find some lost memories.
………………
In a dim hall, two figures stood in the middle of piles of corpses.
A string of complex spells was coming from the man's mouth.
"Son... you must... live..."
Colorless tears fell from his face...
Jig stood there blankly,
"This spell... the seal of sacrificing the soul..."
"Dad..."
