97. Shedding Evil
After Lin Ziyue returned to her body, the feeling of weakness instantly became clear, even if she could feel that she was lying flat on the ground, she was still in a half-dreaming and half-awake state, as if her soul had not yet adapted to her body, and she wanted to shake her dizzy head to wake herself up as soon as possible, but she couldn't even lift her neck and arms, let alone support herself to sit up.
There were some cold scales under her head, Lin Ziyue knew that she was probably in a coma and was put into her current appearance by Bo Tisi, this guy didn't kill her, which made Lin Ziyue breathe a sigh of relief, she ignored it, if she died, Bo Tisi could only use distraction to re-cultivate her body, it was better to follow her honestly and leave the Inner Prison. Lin Ziyue tried to open her eyes, but it was like a kaleidoscope in front of her, the colorful pieces kept falling down, and she squeezed her eyes desperately, and those colors faded away, leaving only the boundless darkness, there seemed to be a gentle breath in front of her, and Botisi's head gently rubbed against her face.
After the sensation of the body recovered, Lin Ziyue was able to pull down the windshield and finally see the scene in front of her, she immediately turned her head to look for Xuanyuan Yan's figure, but saw a huge cocoon, the periphery of the cocoon was gray silk threads, exactly the same as when the cocoon was born, but seeing the circle of smoke condensed like substance above, Lin Ziyue's heart was more steady, she just looked quietly, and could hear the faint sound of breaking in the cocoon.
"Botis, how long have I been unconscious?"
Botisi shook her head: "I can't tell, but after you fell unconscious, the cocoon appeared layer by layer, and it was completely formed just now. β
"Also, there's no sense of time here. Lin Ziyue said, staring intently at the cocoon, and the sound of breaking from it became more and more intense.
After a very crisp collapse sounded, Lin Ziyue saw a hand drilled out of the cocoon, with a cigarette twisted on it, and the fire on the smoke slowly swirled, quickly devouring the outer layer of the cocoon.
When the cocoon was broken open enough hole, Xuanyuan Yan crawled out of it, his body was still wearing the old and discolored suit, and his hair was a little messy, although he still looked a little decadent, but there was a faint light flashing in his eyes. Xuanyuan Yan put the cigarette in his mouth and walked up to Lin Ziyue and pulled her up.
Bo Tisi turned into a small snake again, Lin Ziyue hung it on her shoulder, the little snake eyes stared at Xuanyuan Yan as if she was vigilant, Bo Tisi lay in Lin Ziyue's ear, and the words with a hissing sound fell on Lin Ziyue's ears: "This guy is not a simple demon, and he is definitely not a human or a god... He has an extra power in him that I can't understand, and it poses a great threat to you, so you have to be careful. β
Lin Ziyue only smiled slightly: "No need, if he takes revenge, then I have no one to trust." β
Xuanyuan Yan listened to the words of the two and did not interject, although Bo Tisi was very careful, but for him who had full potential, it was just a small means of transmission, of course he heard it very clearly, but at this time it was Lin Ziyue and Bo Tisi's matter, and it could be seen that the demon that suddenly appeared seemed to be depressed, probably Lin Ziyue did not subdue it through normal means.
Botise persuaded a little unwillingly: "Trust will only invite betrayal, although you have no power, you are all sealed, if not...... I won't follow you either, and I hope you can grow up soon......"
"Don't worry, I always felt that I wasn't afraid of death before, but now that I have a goal, I am naturally more afraid of death than anyone else. If someone really wants to betray me, I will definitely not be caught, at most I will suffer a loss. β
"Whatever you suffer, it's me who ......is too talkative," Botisi muttered hatefully, but the little scarlet eyes still blinked a few times, and it seemed that she had not given up persuading Lin Ziyue and planned to put it into a long-term plan.
"If you plan to make me a demon to make a name for you through constant persuasion, I think it's better in the next life," Lin Ziyue said very narrowly, "There are enough demons above me, I don't want to be a scourge of the Six Realms anymore." β
Botisi's careful thinking was punctured, and she turned her head a little disdainfully, no longer paying attention to Lin Ziyue, and the contract did not include the need to reply.
Xuanyuan Yan saw that Lin Ziyue's situation was probably dealt with, so he asked her: "I was very curious before, how did you come here? I checked around when I came here, and the scourge also told me about the situation in the prison, and there is indeed no exit here, so I promised to inherit its power to help it out." β
Lin Ziyue raised her hand, and the cane fell into her palm as usual, but it was a little heavier than usual, as soon as she observed, she immediately noticed that the color of the skeleton had become lighter, as if after polishing, it had become much brighter from the black marble texture, and even exuded a faint jade light, exactly the same as the cane she summoned in the spirit world before, and a few flower holders had grown under the skull, but now it was only the size of a fingernail, but the two vines that stretched out below were already the length of little fingers, and they were softly climbing on the caneγ
Lin Ziyue sighed, and when she pierced the cane into the ground again, the black mist did not swell out happily in an instant as before, but slowly spread out with some sluggishness, forming the little faceless girl, she stood on the side and walked around Lin Ziyue for two steps, and then tentatively touched the skull, and then took Lin Ziyue's hand with confidence, and then dragged Lin Ziyue to continue forward, Xuanyuan Yan was shocked and then suspicious when he saw this scene, but when he saw Lin Ziyue waving at him, he followed closely.
Although the faceless girl had no facial features, she still turned around to "look" at Xuanyuan Yan when she followed, tugged Lin Ziyue's hand, and pointed at Xuanyuan Yan with the other hand.
Lin Ziyue patted the faceless girl's head with her free hand: "It's okay, he's with me and my friend." β
The faceless girl tapped herself with her fingers, then Lin Ziyue, tilting her head to look at her. Seeing this, Lin Ziyue had no choice but to nod: "Yes, you are also with me, and of course you are also my friend." β
The faceless girl was very happy, and dragged Lin Ziyue and began to trot forward, and Lin Ziyue could even feel her excitement to fly. Xuanyuan Yan heard the words of the two and saw this child-like attitude, and he was more interested in this strange creature who was guarding the prison but was not mentally mature, and he was a little less vigilant.
This time, the corridor was extra long, and it was dizzy, but they didn't pass through any cells along the way, and walked a long distance, such a long corridor made Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yan a little depressed, and they passed through all kinds of doors along the way, but the faceless girl didn't stop, so the three of them kept walking forward, which made Lin Ziyue a little surprised.
Finally, when the three of them stopped in front of an unusually heavy iron door, Lin Ziyue bent down and squatted down, put two hands on the shoulders of the faceless girl, and asked her, "Have you already learned...... I have mastered the method of prison structure. β
The girl didn't speak, just nodded, although Lin Ziyue still had a lot of things she wanted to ask her, but because she couldn't get an answer, she simply didn't ask, Chong Xuanyuan Yan smiled, and then she put her hand on the doorknob.
The doorknob of the iron door is actually hot, if it weren't for Lin Ziyue's physique being strengthened, I'm afraid it would be hot at this time, Lin Ziyue pushed the door open suddenly, but there was a blazing line of fire shooting at her, as soon as she raised her cane, there was a pitch-black charcoal-like vine on it that exploded instantly, even if it encountered fire, it did not burn, but secreted layers of oil, strongly resisting the line of fire, Lin Ziyue advanced step by step, and pushed the line of fire step by step.
Xuanyuan Yan behind him disappeared, and smoke spread quickly along the ground to the depths of the cell, and before the faceless girl closed the door, Lin Ziyue could feel her worried emotions coming, but it was very vague, far less clear than the previous emotional transmission, Lin Ziyue understood that this was probably also because C's cane began to change.
The line of fire was extinguished, and a pair of dark eyes lit up in the corner of the cell, staring at Lin Ziyue with a strange light, and a deep voice sounded: "It's really rude, I thought some new monster was sent to my cell, I will give you a gift, human, if you are okay, leave as soon as possible, your evil deeds are too thin, I have no reason to kill you." β
Then the sound of a sword blade cutting through the air came, and the smoke at his feet condensed, Xuanyuan Yan snorted, rolled in a circle and half-crouched in front of Lin Ziyue, staring nervously at the creature in the corner.
"Junior, although you are disrespectful to our generation, I will not kill you because you still have human nature, although you are demonized, and even with the stench of jealousy, but you are not complete, and there is no great evil in your body, killing you is contrary to my duty. β
Hearing the strange theory of this creature, Lin Ziyue's brows suddenly furrowed, this guy is really the body of the Yan Crow, why does a moral defender who sounds like righteous words not seem to be a demon...... I'm not in the wrong place. When Lin Ziyue was still thinking so strangely, Botisi on her neck said hello: "Hey, crow's mouth, do you know this human?"
"Hmm...... This human ......" The figure slowly stepped out, heavy footsteps dragging on the ground.
Lin Ziyue was also stunned, the guy who was one meter eight tall turned out to be an angel with a crow's head, although the long wings like a swan behind his back were full of burns, feathers falling off and wounds of different shapes, but his high head showed his unbeatable pride, he had no armor on his body, only a few scales close to his body, but Lin Ziyue guessed that he also had an armor. The only thing this man had was a sword without a scabbard in his hand, and the body seemed to glow red because it had been soaked in blood for a long time.
"You have a soul contract with my generation, and such a close connection is the handiwork of the black wolf?"
Lin Ziyue frowned: "I'm sorry, I don't know what a black wolf, before signing a contract with me, he also borrowed other people's bodies and hurt some people...... Most of his later images were the appearance of the boy, but in his form he was a pitch-black crow. β
"That should be the mount of my generation, he naturally has the strength of my generation, but the heart of the beast is too heavy, for the evil of evil, without the control of my generation, must have caused a lot of trouble, thank you young man, I think it is very hard for my generation to discipline the guy who is not a weapon." β
Lin Ziyue thought of Yan Crow's bad temper, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, I'm here just for...... Get your approval from Andos. β
Although the mission stated that it was to surrender and release Andos's body, seeing that this crow-headed angel was proud but not lacking in a respectful demeanor, Lin Ziyue was afraid that using such words would directly make the situation worse.
But the crow-headed angel seemed to understand, raised his jaw slightly, he took two steps forward, and without seeing his movements, he slashed the vigilant Xuanyuan Yan to the side with his sword, but it didn't hurt him in the slightest. Then the crow's head tossed Botis to the ground as if he had broken a rope under her terrified gaze. Botis's body fell heavily to the ground, but she could only bear it honestly, although she knew that this guy did not kill him for the sake of his fellow prisoners, but this guy's arrogant attitude was really unpleasant.
Lin Ziyue stiffened her neck the whole time, she knew in her heart that if she lowered her head at this time, I was afraid that it would be more difficult to subdue this arrogant guy in the future. Since he said that he would not kill her, Lin Ziyue knew that he would not, this was the bottom line of these wonderful creatures, and they absolutely obeyed the spirit of the contract.
"Yes, I am Andos, and my duty is to bring out discord. Although your evil deeds are not enough for me to deal with, your sense of justice and good deeds are not worthy of the favor of our generation, so you should leave as soon as possible. β
"What if I have to?"
Lin Ziyue dared to swear, she saw the excitement in Andos's eyes, and the full excitement and fanaticism made this crow head a little angry for the first time, and also made Lin Ziyue feel that he was indeed a little similar to the Yan Crow. Yan Crow also shook his head and hummed a song when he took Lin Ziyue's portable communicator to order takeout, and there was always this look in his eyes, but it was much more greedy than the look of this crow's head.
"Since you asked sincerely......"
"Then you will be merciful to tell me?"
Xuanyuan Yan heard Lin Ziyue's reflexive answer, and almost felt that a mouthful of saliva was about to choke into his nose, and resisted the urge to complain and laugh on this occasion, he could only cover his mouth and cough wildly, causing Lin Ziyue and Andos to glance at each other inexplicably. Xuanyuan Yan finally knew why Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yu were so compatible, the brain circuits of these two people seemed to be serious, but in fact, they could go around the mountain song of nine curves and eighteen bends.
Andos cleared his throat: "Since you are not qualified now, how about following my generation to practice? My generation will teach you for a hundred days, this is also the deadline given to you by my generation, if you can't achieve your strength and mind, your generation will naturally give up on you." β
One Hundred Days......
Lin Ziyue eased her senses, thinking that there was a thunder evil watching outside K, even if it was a hundred days, it shouldn't matter. And the time in prison is infinitely extended, just a hundred days of exercise should be fine.
"You seem to have made up your mind, please get down on your knees and endure this glorious trial. β
Lin Ziyue listened to Andos's words, knelt on one knee on the ground, Andos stood the bloody sword in her ear, she could smell a faint fishy smell, and it blew on her face with some kind of hair-making killing intent.
"In the name of Andos, my generation dedicates this far-sighted human race to the suffering of the people of the Six Realms. Please present your name to start this refinement, and after the body and mind are exhausted, the heart is like a rock, and the body is like a peerless blade, after the hundred days of demon transformation, my generation will be with the strength of your generation. β
"My name is Lin Ziyue. β
"Know that there is no demon in the world that cannot be eliminated, there is no doom that cannot be killed, there is no nightmare that cannot be killed, and there is no fault that cannot be slaughtered. Lin Ziyue, swear with me, the sword in my hand only cuts discordant things, unsheathed with blood, and returned to the sheath of the world. β
Lin Ziyue frowned slightly when she heard the oath, but still after Andos finished speaking, she honestly followed along: "The sword in my hand ......"
As these five words blurted out, Andos placed the sword in Lin Ziyue's ear, and blood gushed out, enveloping her, as if listening to her oath, trembling slightly with those voices.
"Cut only the things that are not in harmony. β
Lin Ziyue's eyes were black, then red, in a red, Lin Ziyue's eyes actually flowed out of blood and tears, the pain seemed to tear her eyes open, and sew them back again, and then she barely opened her eyes a slit, and found that the windproof goggles had been blown into small pieces, and the sharp pain still came, but Lin Ziyue forcibly endured the thought of moaning, and the oath was not finished.
"Unsheathed...... Blood-leveled ......"
Her eyes lit up, the pain in her eyes was like a sudden dream, and Lin Ziyue, who had no windbreakers, found that she could see Bo Tisi, Xuanyuan Yan and Andos in the house clearly, but it seemed that she could see too clearly, she could even see a lot of strange black qi around their bodies, but the black qi disappeared after a little relaxation.
Before Lin Ziyue could finish feeling the change in his eyes, those blood lights suddenly condensed, and Andos moved his sword back with reverence, and then stabbed out with a sword.
"Return...... Sheath ......"
The feeling of being pierced in the chest was unexpected, and there was no pain in the eyes just now, those blood lights were rapidly pouring into Lin Ziyue's body, and the light of the sword body itself was revealed, and the clear sword blade was covered with dense gaps, which were obviously bloodthirsty swords that had gone through millions of battles, but as the red light dissipated, Lin Ziyue clearly saw that those gaps were getting bigger and bigger, and cracks slowly appeared on the sword body.
"Heavenly ...... Next ......"
The blood gradually shrouded her eyes, the pain in her chest became intense, Lin Ziyue gritted her teeth, her breathing was a little short, and sticky blood gushed out along her chest, wetting her shirt, and even along the edge of the broken sword, drop by drop flowed to the ground, and black mist appeared on the watered ground from time to time, and the blood was immediately absorbed.
Enduring the pain, Lin Ziyue squeezed out the last word from her mouth in one breath.
"Qing!"
The sword in my hand cuts only the things that are not harmonious, and it is out of the sheath and leveled with blood, and returns to the sheath of the world......
The words kept spinning in her mind, Lin Ziyue coughed lightly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the black mist on the ground, and the black mist rolled up violently, wrapping her whole person inside, but Andos just pulled out the sword, and the long sword was immediately broken into several pieces, and the decaying rust on it no longer looked sharp, he watched indifferently as Lin Ziyue was pushed to the corner by the black mist, avoiding him from afar, and he didn't care.
Ignoring Regulus and Botis's would-be killer gaze, Andos sat indifferently in the corner, quietly waiting for the outcome of this ritual of transformation, to see if she could become the new master of that power, carrying that ridiculous vow.
