Chapter 2187 Successfully Subdued
Time passed silently and slowly like a gurgling stream.
Since Matthew said that, the Black Tortoise King fell into a deep silence and did not make a sound.
He was seen quietly holding the middle-aged woman in his arms, his tall and resolute body suspended in the air, like a silent mountain.
The days passed slowly day by day, and before they knew it, several days had passed quietly.
In these few days, the changes in the world seemed to be isolated from the three of them, and they were immersed in a subtle and tense atmosphere.
Finally, when the last trace of white light at the middle-aged woman's brow disappeared completely like a candle, the Prisoner Heaven Rune that had been lurking in it seemed to be strongly pulled by some force, and suddenly flew out from the middle-aged woman's brow, turning into a stream of light, and rushed straight towards Matthew's direction.
Matthew was prepared. His eyes were sharp and he stretched out his hand quickly. His hand seemed to contain an invisible suction force, and he took the Prisoner Heaven Rune steadily in his hand.
The moment he took it, a strange and majestic energy wave was like a surging tide, rushing into his body along the veins in the palm of his hand. Matthew felt a tingling sensation spread all over his body in an instant, which made him squint his eyes slightly, immersing himself in it, and carefully feeling the subtle changes that had taken place before and after the rune.
His perception was like a fine spider silk, wandering and exploring in the energy veins of the rune, not missing any details.
Gradually, Matthew's slightly narrowed eyes began to show excitement, shining like the bright stars in the night sky.
Because he clearly realized that after this period of time, the Prisoner Heaven Rune had been continuously devouring the original power in the middle-aged woman's eyebrows, and it had gained unprecedented huge enhancement.
The power it contains at this moment is like a giant beast awakening from sleep, and it must be far greater than the past.
The surging power surged inside the rune, as if it could burst out at any time and change the world.
While Matthew was concentrating on checking the Prisoner Rune, the middle-aged woman in a coma slowly woke up.
She only felt dizzy, as if she had a hangover, and after a long time, her consciousness gradually returned.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw herself lying in the familiar and warm arms of the Black Tortoise Beast King. The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, and the original panic and uneasiness in her heart seemed to have found a safe haven, and it subsided a little.
She struggled slightly, and the Black Tortoise Beast King felt her movement and loosened his arm. The middle-aged woman lightly broke free from his arms and floated in the air.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman looked at Matthew with extremely complicated eyes, as if mixed with countless emotions.
There was the shock and fear when she first saw the Prisoner Heaven Rune, the helplessness of being unable to resist fate, and the confusion and expectations for the future.
However, there was no trace of the previous coldness and hostility in her eyes, as if a layer of ice was quietly melting under the warm spring sun.
After a long silence, the middle-aged woman seemed to have finally broken through the heavy barriers in her heart and made up her mind.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, and she took a deep breath, as if she wanted to expel all the hesitation and uneasiness with this breath, and then she slowly said: "I am willing to follow you like Xuanwu, and let you command me!"
Although the voice was still a little weak, like a candlelight swaying in the wind, it could go out at any time, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness, like a sharp sword piercing through the dark clouds, directly cutting through the heavy air around her.
She knew clearly in her heart that this decision might completely subvert her entire life trajectory in the future.
From now on, the days of being alone and in control of a place will be gone forever, and her future will be closely tied to the mysterious Matthew in front of her.
But after seeing the mysterious power of the man behind Matthew, and the terrifying power of the Prisoner Rune to destroy the world, she knew in her heart that she had no other choice.
Going with Matthew is the wisest choice at the moment.
Otherwise, she might only face death. After all, she is the only one who knows everything she has experienced before.
The Black Tortoise Beast King has been standing quietly by the side, taking in all of this.
Hearing this, he seemed to come back to his senses from deep thought, turned his head slightly and looked at the middle-aged woman, and a trace of relief flashed in his always cold eyes.
He had known the middle-aged woman for many years and knew her stubbornness and pride too well. The inner struggle that made her lower herself and say such words that were equivalent to surrender was beyond the imagination of outsiders and was not easy.
Matthew also raised his head at this time, and his eyes met the middle-aged woman accurately. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. That smile was like the warm breeze breaking the ice in spring, peaceful and full of power, as if he had already stood at the commanding heights of fate and expected the other party to say such words.
Since the middle-aged woman had already nodded in agreement, the next thing became simple.
Matthew took his time and successfully subdued the middle-aged woman with the slight connection established between the Prisoner Heaven Rune and the middle-aged woman.
During the whole process, the middle-aged woman did not show any resistance.
After subduing her, Matthew did not drive the other party to do anything impatiently.
He cast his eyes on the Xuanwu Beast King, with a look of entrustment in his eyes, and said softly: "Xuanwu, you and my elder sister have known each other for many years, and you have a deep friendship. I would like to trouble you to tell my elder sister in detail about the many matters to come."
The Xuanwu Beast King understood, nodded slightly, stepped forward, and looked at the middle-aged woman with respect and concern.
He began to talk about what they were going to do next.
The Xuanwu Beast King spoke very carefully, and the middle-aged woman listened seriously.
From time to time, she would ask a few questions.
Some questions, the Xuanwu Beast King could answer.
And some questions, he couldn't tell.
Matthew supplemented appropriately on the side.
After listening to Matthew's next plan, the middle-aged woman also gave some of her own opinions.
In response, the three of them discussed and slightly modified the plan.
In addition, the middle-aged woman knew more about the demon clan than the Xuanwu Beast King, who was a little nervous.
After knowing that Matthew was interested in this, she took the initiative to tell Matthew everything she knew.
From the middle-aged woman, Matthew also learned more about the demons in this place.
This also made it easier for him to face the demons in the future.
