Chapter 274: Premature Burial (Part II) (2-in-1)
At this time, in Richard's heart, it was unusually tangled.
There is no need to consider the possibility of Xiaohui's maid deceiving him, and the other party does not disdain to use such shameless tricks against a little person like himself who wants nothing in their eyes. In other words, this choice is indeed something he needs to face.
If he could, Richard hoped that his daughter's soul would be free, so that he needed to pay one-fifth of his life force, but if he bound his soul, then his daughter's life in the world after rebirth was destined to be a short trip.
Richard clearly remembered that the short-haired maid had just said the word "live and die together", and after confirming to the maid again that the meaning of this "living and dying together" was that if he died as the "main soul", his daughter would die 72 hours later, Richard was even more entangled.
He knew that he was just an ordinary mortal in Shouding, and it was natural that he would leave before his daughter...... But if you choose to pay for your own life force now.
In fact, if it is only for Richard's own consideration, in fact, neither choice matters. Anyway, he won't be able to see his daughter after he dies, can he? But Richard Ken went to great lengths to get here, and after nine deaths to find materials, the so-called was not just about fulfilling his own wishes.
He hopes that his daughter can live like a normal person again and finish the life she should have gone through.
"Please...... Be kind to her. Richard finally made a choice, maybe this is the limitation of mortals, and in the end he still hopes that his daughter can have a second life like a normal person, rather than having to die helplessly after he leaves.
"My pleasure. The long black maid who had spoken before smiled and bowed slightly to Richard, and after she took out a silver knife from her maid's skirt and began to gesture at her wrist.
Later, Megumi's carving of the "Orihagang Magic Metal" was also completed, and she strung a small piece of metal engraved with runes with a rope to make a pendant. The image of this pendant always felt a little familiar to Richard, and then he quickly remembered that Becas J. Crawford's wife, the outside world speculated to be the reborn Cindia, had always had such a pendant around her neck!
[It seems...... The legend is true. Richard guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
"Blood. After Xiao Hui finished carving the rune, he directly took out the pendant and commanded the black long straight maid beside him.
Hei Changzhi nodded, and then used the silver knife in his hand to cut down on his wrist without hesitation, and the red blood gushed out, while her other hand pressed the pendant that Xiao Hui had just carved on the wound on her wrist!
The moment it was pressed, not a single drop of blood escaped, all of it was absorbed by the runes on the pendant, and then the runes emitted a demonic red light, but the face of the maid who had lost a lot of blood showed a flush of satisfaction.
After a while, the maid took off the pendant with all the runes lit, and her wrist was completely healed at this time.
Xiao Hui commanded non-stop: "Tears." ”
The maid nodded, took the pendant in both hands, and brought it to Sakura's mouth, then kissed it gently.
This time the process of "tears" was not as scary as the previous process of "blood", and the maid seemed to just kiss the pendant.
But even if Richard was a layman, he could feel something like an aura on the maid's body at this moment, and then it was all injected into the small pendant.
For a long time, the lips parted.
After the second processing, the runes on the pendant were no longer as dull and colorless as they were when they were not processed before, nor were they like the blood-glowing after the first processing, but emitted a faint purple color.
At this time, the black long straight maid who had completed the two processes seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, and before she had time to speak, Xiaohui let her go down to rest first.
Then, Xiao Hui took the processed pendant and said to Richard in front of him: "Put it on for her, give it to you...... Daughter. ”
"That's ...... Is it okay?" Richard held the pendant in his palm, looking at the girl in front of him in disbelief, he couldn't believe it, in such a short period of time, this problem that has been solved by countless scientists and metaphysicians for a lifetime has been solved!
"If you don't believe me, you can pay me back. Xiaohui didn't say a word, since she had already sent the "premature burial" out, then there was no cause and effect between herself and Richard, and she naturally didn't plan to say half a word more.
"Don't look at it, the owner is such a character. The short-haired maid on the side played an explanatory role at this time: "It's like a computer needs a lot of resources to be developed, and strict craftsmanship is required to produce it, but it only needs to turn on the switch to use it, and this thing is difficult to make, but there is no obstacle to use." ”
"I see...... carefully put away the "premature burial", the eagerness in Richard's heart was difficult to suppress, so he hurriedly asked Xiaohui and the maids to resign, "If the little girl can really be reborn, your kindness ......"
Richard's words were interrupted by the short-haired maid, she frowned and said to Richard in front of her: "This is forgiven, the master just told me, saying that 'it has been cleared', so in the future, you can't come here again." ”
"This ...... Good. Guessing that this should be the rule of the island of life and death, Richard didn't go into more details, but endured the eagerness in his heart, kept his demeanor and bowed to Xiaohui and the maids, planning to leave here quickly: "I still hope to see the little girl again as soon as possible, and please retire first." ”
Megumi just nodded in acquiescence.
While Richard is leaving, Megumi asks the short-haired maid to go out to see him off, giving him some final instructions and teaching him how to use that "premature burial".
Then, out of nowhere, she took out a large roll of quilt and wrapped herself again.
Demonic Spirits of Lights
At the same time, two members of Heaven and Hell, as well as two of their one-time friends, who had infiltrated the island of life and death, snuck into a library built next to a cemetery.
According to the notes of the current pioneer of "Heaven and Hell" (referring to the head of the organization), who once infiltrated the island of life and death and barely escaped by sacrificing more than a dozen "one-time friends", there are many libraries on this island of life and death, and he once sacrificed eight "one-time friends" in order to find out which one was the bookshelf that really hid the forbidden knowledge of resurrecting the dead, and the final result was ......
Basically every library has a similar collection of books......
Yes, this precious knowledge of reversing life and death is everywhere here like a big turnip, but they have different names.
Since it is an organization specializing in the study of the second generation of dueling kings, "Heaven and Hell" naturally has a very deep understanding of duels, and some people in the organization even believe that this knowledge of Dongdong Tani Megumi comes from those magic cards that can resurrect monsters in duels......
However, this absurd view was naturally ridiculed and belittled by everyone in the organization, and Lina remembered that the previous pioneer who put forward this idea in the first place was really unable to argue with the rest of the organization, so she went crazy and got lost in the sea.
And now, when she saw the familiar name on the bookshelf in front of her, Lina showed a tangled expression for a moment......
The Book of the Living: The Art of Forbidden Judgment
The tome, wrapped in a gilded cover, may seem to be several thousand pages, and although it is thick, it is very small compared to the shelves of the entire library, and the seven or eight shelves in this library contain books...... Actually, there is only this one!
The rest of the bookshelf, in the library space where hundreds of books can be stored, are all the "reading notes" of Dongfang Gu Hui, and according to some of the marks on the cover, it can be seen that these "reading notes" are all about the book "The Book of the Living: The Art of Forbidging It......
So, how many things are condensed in those thousands of pages of the original text?
As for these "reading notes", Lina took out a book and hurriedly flipped through it, and found that all of them were full of fine and dense small characters, and there were even many, many formulas and hand-drawn complex diagrams on them......
And the above content, even if Lina graduated from Princeton University with full honors, she will feel dizzy at first glance, but for Lina, this feeling of dizziness is the best gift, and this forbidden knowledge is as intoxicating as heroin to her......
"The ancestors were right. Lina closed the reading notebook, shook her head, and then said to the junior next to her in a rather regretful tone: "If we can listen to the words of our ancestors and analyze in the seemingly unreliable direction of 'dueling monsters', we can avoid many detours and sacrifice a lot of members." ”
The senior sister nodded, but her eyes were obviously a little dazed, and Lina didn't know what she was thinking at this time.
She planned to bring back a few of these reading notes, and in the pioneer's notes, she specifically reminded that she could not touch those "original books", at most she could only move the codex and notes written by Megumi Toshiya.
Lina, who had followed the pioneers' teachings, was going to do the same this time. However, Lina may do, but this request does not apply to everyone present.
"What do you mean...... It seems that this is the only original book here that records all the contents?The others are just annotations to this one?" The female ninja among the friends suddenly spoke when Lina wanted to pick out a few notes, she pointed to the gilded cover of the "Book of the Living: The Forbidden Technique", poked her head over to Lina and asked, "Then can we take this book?" Concentration is the essence...... You might as well move all the books from this warehouse? Why don't you go to the old warehouse and move gold? ”
"It's the rule. Lina, who was intoxicated with the knowledge left behind by Megumi, said impatiently to the female ninja, "The 'original text' must not be moved, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”
"You can't move if you say you can't move?" the female ninja reached for the tome and muttered, "I know that the rules of this organization have always been very ...... Huh?"
"Someone's coming!" Turning the wind at the door, the male ninja, who had not spoken all this time, hurriedly turned around and let all four people in the library hide.
And at this time, the footsteps are indeed gradually approaching...... Listening to this voice, the person who came should be coming here!
The ninja clenched the ninja knife in her hand, while Rina and Sena each took a lipstick-like pistol from their boots, which had only one bullet and was specially designed to be used in such a situation.
The footsteps of the comer finally stopped at the door, and Lina and the others held their breath......
"We arrived, and at your request, Mr. Hogan, we placed your daughter's coffin in the nearby cemetery. A young female voice came from outside the door, "I'll take you there." ”
"Trouble, trouble......" The next person to speak was a middle-aged man who was excited.
"You're welcome, just Mr. Hogan, do you remember what I told you earlier?" the female voice did not leave immediately, but asked another man a question first.
"I remember, of course I do. The man's voice was a little panting, and he hurriedly replied: "First, the steps, just simply hang it around the little girl's neck; the second is the precautions, the pendant cannot leave the little girl's body, once she leaves in any way, she will die after seventy-two hours; the third is to drink the bowl you gave me before...... Ahem...... Medicine. ”
The man spoke too quickly and choked directly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hogan. The female voice then sounded, "Let's leave immediately, besides, that bowl of forgetting medicine, I will drink it later~"
"Got it, got it......"
Then, the footsteps of the two faded away.
After confirming that the two of them were far away, the quartet, who had been holding their breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and they sat down limply on the floor, gulping in the unfresh air of the library.
The conversation just now was too much information for them, and it almost confirmed that there is a secret method that can make people reborn on the island of life and death!
What's more, what's even more surprising is that they are also open to the outside world to some extent, and even provide this service to some people!
For a while, whether it was Lina, a schoolgirl, or two friends, they all felt that they had secretly heard a big news today......
"Huh......" After a long sigh of relief, the two ninjas ...... Even the expression of the school girl looking at the original text of the Book of the Living, the Forbidden Technique, was not quite right.
[As long as you master this original text...... Then there is no doubt that he will become a rare transcendent person in the world!]
The idea came to the minds of the four of them at the same time, but Rina quickly extinguished the idea, and then tried to stop the senja and the two ninjas in a loud voice: "Don't, it will ...... in this case"
"Crunch ~~~"
However, when the hands of the three of them touched the gilded cover of "The Forbidden Art of the Book of the Living", the door of the library slowly opened.
A maid with beautiful shoulder-length hair stood at the door with a smile on her face, and because of the backlight, she looked like a silhouette at this time, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to help it. ”
