I Am Loaded with Passive Skills - Chapter 3176

Chapter 3176: Chapter 1619: Daughter’s life unwittingly unknowing, Kui Lei’s rescue at midnight not too late_2

Kong Yuhen tried this method for the first time.

Whether it was successful or not, he didn’t know, and what would follow was also unknown. Speaking of the experience alone…

It was novel.

And somewhat exciting.

“Let’s go!”

On the other side, by the wooden door, Huang Quan also slumped back down, able to relax his unconsciously tensed shoulders.

The presence of Kong Yuhen alone initially exerted real pressure.

But after the confrontations in the pavilion just now, in comparison, the overly courteous and easygoing Kong Yuhen seemed too approachable.

“Friend, may I go out?”

For the first time, Huang Quan initiated conversation, stood up behind Kong Yuhen, and signaled his desire to step out of the building for some fresh air.

Kong Yuhen turned around.

He didn’t reject the request immediately. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he said:

“You may.”

Huang Quan was overjoyed. Clinging to the door crack, just as he was about to thank and leave,

Kong Yuhen spoke again: “But before that, can you fulfill a wish of mine and answer a question?”

Huang Quan paused: “Please speak.”

“Why do you always hide from me?”

“…Do I?”

“Yes.”

“When…”

“From the beginning.”

“That’s not true…”

“Including now.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan involuntarily stiffened, his thoughts in disarray, unable to form a coherent thread.

His breathing became slightly rapid, and his eyes beneath the mask were fixed on Kong Yuhen in front of him.

Kong Yuhen seemed to get larger and larger, his stature surging rapidly, soon becoming so immense he could be called “sky-covering.”

He stood atop the river of time, like a Cursed Yin Evil God enthroned high above, his gaze filled with greed!

That look…

That look!

Huang Quan’s pupils dilated, widened again and again, his palms beginning to sweat.

That look, he was all too familiar with!

It was just like how he mockingly viewed Xiao Ye back in Yunlun Mountain Range.

He could feel the same emotions!

It was just like that time on Abyss Island, before leaving the First Hall of Sins to go to Blood World, when he sensed Xu Xiaoshou’s aura of the Space Power Upanishad Formation, filled with longing.

No!

Can’t!

Absolutely not!

Huang Quan was trembling, and without realizing it, his hands had already reached for the sword and blade behind him, ready to strike first.

At this moment…

“Snap.”

A hand gently rested on his shoulder, followed by a slightly puzzled voice in his ear:

“Friend, you seem very anxious.”

Huang Quan jolted, and after a blur of his vision, found that it was all an illusion.

Kong Yuhen was still the same Kong Yuhen.

He hadn’t grown larger, nor did he loom above on the river of time.

He remained amiable, standing next to him as usual, one hand on his shoulder, looking at his face, and after some thought, asked:

“Friend, can you take off your mask? I want to confirm something.”

Do I have the right to refuse?

Huang Quan tried to calm his emotions.

He didn’t even know why he had such an illusion just now.

But pondering was fruitless, so after weighing his options, he simply let go of the weapons in his hand, pressed down on the mask, and slowly took it off.

“It’s done.”

Huang Quan put the mask back on.

He watched as the look in Kong Yuhen’s eyes slowly became hesitant, puzzled.

He watched as Kong Yuhen took out a palm-sized bronze mirror, aimed it at himself and started fiddling with his hair on his forehead.

What does this mean?

Huang Quan’s heart skipped a beat.

“I feel that you look a lot like me…” Kong Yuhen paused.

Huang Quan was shocked.

I look like you?

What does that mean!

“A friend.” Kong Yuhen then finished.

You should be clear with your punctuation… Huang Quan finally relaxed a little, but noticed something amiss: “You feel?”

“Yes.” Kong Yuhen’s face showed melancholy, “I’ve forgotten a lot of things, including my friends, and…” he paused.

“And?” Huang Quan could only repeat.

But Kong Yuhen did not speak again, just held the small mirror, continuously fiddling with his face.

“What are you doing?”

Huang Quan felt an inexplicable nervousness.

As Chief Yama, aside from facing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, he hardly ever felt this way.

Kong Yuhen still did not answer.

“I look like your friend, and you using a mirror to look at yourself, what’s the relation?” Huang Quan chose to be direct.

Hearing this, Kong Yuhen paused in his action, and after a long while, he lowered the hand holding the mirror, and said faintly:

“I, cannot see my face.”

Suddenly, All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion became quiet.

Huang Quan stiffly turned his head, looked towards the wooden door, then at the broken window not far away.

Light poured in from outside the door, falling on Kong Yuhen who stood in the front, his figure so indistinct.

And hidden behind Kong Yuhen, his own presence felt even smaller, like an inconspicuous shadow.

I want to go out…

Huang Quan did not hide the desire in his eyes.

The longer he stayed in this damned All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion, the more anxious it made one feel!

“May I go out now?”

Just as Huang Quan was about to ask, Kong Yuhen just happened to speak, his eyes full of boundless confusion:

“Friend, what is your life’s mission?”

Me?

Huang Quan closed his eyes heavily.

He didn’t want to answer, yet hesitated to defy the person before him.

He could only try to consider himself as a machine compelled to reply upon query, completely giving up on thinking, to resist the unknown fear:

“To collect the Lei Family’s Eyes.”

“This is my mission, and the mission of our Yamas.”

A mission you were born with… Kong Yuhen showed no confusion or prejudice, or any other emotion.

He treated it as a normal response one would have, not asking why, and simply continued:

“And then?”

Then?

Huang Quan was taken aback and shook his head: “I don’t know.”
