The night is deep, the moon is bright, and everything is quiet.

Li Nian's room was still brightly lit, and of course he himself did not fall asleep, but was sitting on a chair, holding a long knife and looking at it carefully.

This knife has the ability to distinguish between people and weirdness, and only kill and injure the latter when swinging the knife.

Although he has not actually seen the effect, but when the spirit suit is in his hand, Li Nian can naturally distinguish the authenticity and know that this knife does have such an ability.

He borrowed it from the vampire in order to use it as a reference to expand the application of the ability of "concept cutting" and find a way to separate the "darkness" in order to fulfill Lumia's long-cherished wish not to eat people from now on.

So far, Li Nian feels that he has touched some doorways, and he has reached the stage where he can give it a try.

So he raised his long knife and aimed it at his arm, trying to test himself as he always would, but ...... Thinking of something, he slowly let go of his heart again.

At this juncture, Li Nian had some scruples.

As a dark monster, the essence of the so-called "darkness" that Lumia needs to survive seems to be the darkness of the human heart.

There is darkness in the hearts of mortals, this is a truth that children know, it is the part that makes people painful, annoyed, angry, anxious, and frightened, and probably includes the flow of murderous intent, greed, and desire, and Lumia's food is that.

In nature, this "darkness" is undoubtedly a terrible and terrible thing, so it is cut off from the darkness in the heart - to say this, it sounds like doing a righteous and awe-inspiring deed, as if to be refreshed and complete the spiritual cleansing.

But Li Nian understands that I'm afraid the truth is not so rosy.

The way he practiced against heaven - there is the opposite of the way of heaven, and the concept is different, just in the first two words.

Heaven is ruthless.

So he went against the sky, asking for to live and do what he wanted.

And conforming to the way of heaven, what you want is to cultivate your heart to be ruthless and extinguished.

The word ruthlessness sounds exaggerated and cruel, but in fact, there are several ways to say it, such as breaking life and death, getting rid of distracting thoughts, and so on.

But the meaning is the same, they all want people to forget their feelings, and the highest state is to forget the seven emotions and six desires.

In the process of practicing in this way, there is a consistent pursuit, called "cutting off three corpses", to cut off the good corpse and the evil corpse to the self corpse, roughly saying that good thoughts, evil thoughts and obsessions, then separating the inner darkness can be said to be the same as cutting off the evil corpse.

There is hardship in all demands, and if there is no desire, you can achieve great freedom if you cultivate quietly and do nothing, and the first-class charm lies in this, and occasionally Li Nian will feel a little fascinated.

But fascination is one thing, and Li Nian understands that if people get rid of their troubles, they will not be like themselves.

Li Nian is very obsessed with this, he hates to be like that, if separating the "darkness" has the same effect as cutting the evil corpse, he will never use it on himself.

And the essence of this practice may be to use a knife against the soul, and I don't know what will happen to it, if a sword cuts itself into a psychopath, it will be fun.

Out of this thought, Li Nian really didn't want to experiment with himself.

In the final analysis, it is better to cut others than to cut yourself.

Li Nian thought so, but breathed a long sigh of relief.

"But when will there be such an opportunity......

In the past, there was never a shortage of people to be cut down, how could there be such troubles, now that the times have changed, the situation has changed, but no one will arrange someone to cut him again.

So just go to the street and find a passerby to chop and play...... What kind of bad party style is that?

Li Nian laughed at the thoughts that flashed in his heart, and began to think about how to adjust for the better.

Maybe it's a matter of degree, to the point of completely beheading three corpses, it's undoubtedly too much, and it's a little lighter, that is, only a little bit of the "dark" part is cut off? But it still hurts the soul, right? Well...... So the new direction of research is the pursuit of the separation of the "darkness" without damaging the soul? That's a question of precision...... No, after all, is it still "darkness" if it is separated from the Spirit? Can it meet Lumia's needs? Or is it that this dark youkai itself feeds on human souls......

Problems breed problems, and one after the other.

But Li Nian will not be bored and tired because of this level, if he wants to achieve a goal, it is necessary to explore, no matter who he is, he has to see the sun in the fog.

He has always been patient when it comes to doing the right thing.

Under the light, Li Nian's fingertips lightly tapped the blade of the knife, lowered his eyelids, and thought quietly and patiently about the solution.

If nothing happens, maybe one night will pass like this.

Until some kind of violent fluctuation came from afar.

The silence was broken, and thinking came to an abrupt end, Li Nianhao stood up and looked out the window, on the other side, somewhere the sky was shrouded in darkness - it was not the night sky, but the filthy aura, like a cloud, gathering and becoming thicker and thicker.

Something went wrong with a node in a spiritual vein.

Li Nian's brows furrowed.

Of course, he felt unnatural.

Adjusting the spiritual veins, the Seven Heroes Shrine should be doing well, but in this way, the balance of the entire node has been destroyed, and the spiritual power contained in it is overflowing, how can there be such a big problem easily?

Li Nian immediately thought of the possibility of human destruction by the two of them.

It was like a signal, and he immediately connected with the Killing Stone.

So at this time, Li Nian's gaze instead moved away from the swirl of spiritual power gathered and cast it in another direction, where the Seven Heroes Shrine was.

Then he looked at the Isayama family next door.

The lights that had been extinguished were all lit up at this time, and it was obvious that Huangquan and Kagura had been awakened from their sleep and were also going to the scene.

Li Nian thought about it, and did not leave directly, but took out his mobile phone and called Qingqiu Courtyard.

However, I waited for a long time until I heard a no-answer prompt and did not dial.

Li Nian put down the phone, his brows furrowed more and more, he didn't believe that this girl could sleep soundly in this situation.

The doubt turned into a certain conviction, and he realized that there was probably something wrong with the Seven Heroes Shrine.

No longer hesitating, Li Nian shouted out the window.

"Lumia, come over here."

After a while, Li Nian's door was pushed open, and Lumia walked in in pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Mr. Li, what's wrong......"

Her room was next door, and sure enough, she was also quietly woken up at this time, and Li Nian's voice was heard by her, so she came over as instructed.

Li Nian did not explain in detail, but looked at the door of the Isayama family over there, until he saw the two sisters of Huangquan hurriedly running out, then he hooked his hand and instructed Yilumia to come over, pointing to the two of them running towards the back of the street and said.

"You follow them and keep an eye on your surroundings."

Lumia was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she became completely sleepy.

"Did something happen?"

"It's a little bit of a situation, I have to go to the Shimo Shichio Shrine, Huangquan and Kagura may be attacked, can I ask you."

"Yellow Springs and Kagura will be attacked?"

Lumia's eyes instantly turned cold.

I don't quite know exactly what happened, but knowing that Izumi and Kagura are in danger is enough to make Lumia serious.

She nodded and said I understand, turned around and jumped out of the window, still wearing pajamas and slippers, and followed Huang Quan and Kagura.

It seems that Huangquan can rest assured......

Then it's time for me to go.

He also jumped out of the window and moved towards the Seven Shrines.
