Chapter 391: Fleeting Happiness
Even if he received the understanding of his peers, the appreciation and admiration of other races, and even if he gained more honors and psychological comfort, he still did not stop the pace of Kato Taka's physical destruction, and it did not even have the slightest effect on slowing down. There is no way, the so-called laws of nature are such things, cold, objective, and ruthless. The reason why the law of nature is called the law of nature is because it does not depend on the will of any living being.
In her long life, Zero has witnessed countless examples of 'good people have no good reward', she thought she was strong enough, but in the blue sky above, Kato Hawk's originally beautiful feathers were scorched, his originally strong muscles were carbonized, and the original Shenjun's body curled up and curled under the action of high temperature, and then compressed into a classic Texas grilled chicken shape similar to that in a vacuum bag, and finally even this shape could not be maintained, completely turned into a ball of ashes, and disappeared from this world forever. Witnessing this tragic picture, Zero still felt a burst of tearing pain in his heart.
If only there really was reincarnation on this continent.
Zero subconsciously thought: the creature that accumulated good deeds in the previous life will let it be blessed in the reincarnation of the next life, and live a happy life from the most comfortable starting point, and the creature that did evil in the previous life will let it be retributed in the reincarnation of the next life, suffer since birth, be unlucky to the extreme in a lifetime, and finally end this painful life with an extremely comical death......
No, it can't be like this!
Thinking about it, Zero suddenly realized that his mind was developing in a dangerous direction! If there really is reincarnation on the mainland, then how should the standard for judging good and evil be determined? Or to put it more explicitly, who should set this standard?
Dad repeatedly emphasized to himself many times, absolutely do not hope for such things as 'resurrection' and 'reincarnation', at that time I was a little unimpressed, but now I think about it carefully and find that reincarnation sounds very beautiful, but in essence, it is the exercise of God's authority, putting a certain intelligent life in the position of God!
Since it is an intelligent life, it will inevitably have preferences, dislikes, and its own views of right and wrong, and when it becomes a god, all beings must force their behavior to conform to their will, what a terrifying thing it must be! Zero discovered for the first time that the eighth-level demonic beast 'Meng Po' she longed for in the past was, and how evil she was doing, at this time, Zero's heart couldn't help but rise a kind of "Ah, the Golden Fortress has been trying to kill Meng Po, this is simply the right thing!"
Zero, who was immersed in this thought, was awakened by a wave of heat that came from the impact, and when she looked up, she realized that Kato Taka could of course control his own power before his death, so that all this energy was output with the power of the second-level magic 'Scorching Breath', and it was dead at the moment, and the energy that it forcibly gathered lost its restraint and exploded in a form similar to self-explosion!
The crimson energy cloud slowly spreads outward in the form of a standard sphere, and all the inorganic matter on the snow field is not the enemy of this energy, and it will be directly destroyed at the moment of contact, as for the living things...... There were no living creatures, the explosion range of this power was very limited, and the demonic beasts were all driven away by the super-large range of scorching breath just now, and only Ling Mo and his party were present.
Although he knows that his physical fitness is no longer what it used to be, he is used to holding up a magic shield or magic shield for defense, and now he can only rely on the zero of his own body, and he is still a little hairy in the face of such a hot torrent of energy.
In the face of the boiling heatwave, Pikachu yawned lazily, this thing is just like that, even without the protection of its owner, the explosion of the heat wave can only scorch its golden retriever at most, and it can't even burn the skin! After all, this heat wave is just an explosion of residual energy. The baby snowman is quieter than Pikachu, and it raises its cute head and uses two black pearls to ...... No, the eyes made of black glass beads looked up admiringly at Zero's gentle side face from the bottom to the top, and a crystal light flashed in his eyes.
Soon, the heat wave passed, because the surrounding snow was melting at this time, and there was smoke and steam rising everywhere, Zero wiped his wet forehead, feeling that he was really making a fuss just now, smiled embarrassedly, and finally hugged Pikachu and the snowman baby hard, and released them from his arms, and said: "Magic, sometimes it's really good at creating false light and shadow effects, obviously not so powerful, but it makes the end of the world ...... coming."
Chirping.
Zero couldn't go on, and when a slight, as if a very light person stepped on the thick snow, the 'squeak' sound came to her ears, making all her movements freeze in mid-air, and the whole person seemed to become a sculpture, and then, little by little, she lowered her neck as if rusty, and looked at the snowman baby in her arms with an unbelievable gaze, and saw the waist of the other party's round body, and the position that she had just hugged with a little force, there was a deep handprint! It's exactly the same as the handprint that comes when you press your hand into the soft snow!
This...... It's so impossible!!
Zero swore that although she hugged her 'hard', she really didn't use much strength, at best, it was just the kind of hug strength when the two sides of a long-distance relationship met, how could it be possible to cause damage to the seventh-level monster level snowman baby, and leave such a deep mark?!
Zero was in a deep shock, the baby snowman didn't care much, although looking at its expression, it was easy to feel how painful it was at this time, but it didn't bother to look down at its wounds, just opened its arms to Zero and made a gesture of begging for a hug!
"This ......" accidentally hugged the baby snowman into a serious injury, Zero obviously hesitated at this time, she no longer dared to touch the other party's body, but seeing the expectant eyes of the baby snowman, she really couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to reach out and gently hold the baby snowman's round little hand, and asked:
"Friend, what are you doing now, why are you so vulnerable?"
The baby snowman shook his head, signaling that he was okay. It didn't seem to want to discuss this with Zero, and was tempted to divert the subject, but it was clear that it was in a very bad state right now, starting from its body, with a trickle of water flowing down its body, washing its otherwise smooth skin into furrows, and its body shrinking at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye, exactly like the snowmen that melted as the temperature rose in the spring months!
By the way, melt?!
Zero suddenly came to his senses, thought of a possibility, and asked urgently: "Little friend, could it be that Kato Hawk's super-large range of magic just now melted the snow on the snow field, causing damage to your origin? By the way, you are an evil spirit of the Earth Binding Spirit type, and the environment still has a great impact on you!"
The snowman baby was stunned, probably didn't expect Zero to actually consider it from this angle, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, while the snowman baby hurriedly nodded vigorously, expressing his agreement with Zero's statement, and at the same time muttering something in his mouth, accusing the eagle of doing things without going through the brain. Because the nod was too eager, the action was too big, and with a click, an arm made of snowflakes was directly broken and pulled out by the zero 'pop'!
"This ...... What should I do?!"
Zero held the arm of the baby snowman, and was a little flustered and at a loss for a while, especially the severed arm quickly melted in her hand, and in just two or three seconds, it completely turned into snow water, dripping down and seeping into the ground, which made her completely unsure of what to do.
The baby snowman grinned in pain, but didn't care at all, and comforted Zero in turn, telling him that this situation was only temporary, and when the aftermath of the big magic dissipated and the temperature around it dropped again, it would soon regenerate and gain a new body.
So, my friend, don't worry about these boring things, reach out and hug me again before I hibernate or not, okay?
Feeling the pleading in the snowman's words, it can even be said to be begging, Zero's heart trembled, and at the same time, he was afraid of hurting the other party again, so he had to turn his eyes to Ling Mo for help. Ling Mo didn't have any expression on his face, he just said indifferently:
"If it lets you hug it, you can hug it......"
After getting Ling Mo's affirmation, Zero relaxed slightly, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged the baby snowman into her arms, with the lesson of the last time, she deliberately used the energy of the warrior to control the strength, so that the strength of this hug was definitely lower than the average of normal human girls, but what she didn't expect was that her arm just touched the waist of the baby snowman, and before she could pull it, the other party's body clicked, broke from it, and was cut in half by Zero's hug!
At the same time, the second half of Ling Mo's unfinished sentence came slowly: "Hug, anyway, this is the last hug it can enjoy." ”
“......!!”
Zero turned his head abruptly and looked at Ling Mo with an unacceptable and questioning look, but Ling Mo just spread his hands and said indifferently: "Don't look at me, the baby snowman is about to die, it was lying to you just now." ”
"Lie to me?!Which sentence is lying to me?Doesn't it mean that the Earth Bound Spirit can't lie to people at all?!"
"From the moment I am now, it's all because of Taka Kato's indiscriminate arson,' I'm lying to you. Although the baby snowman only had its mutilated upper body left, and was still covered in cracks, lying miserably on the ground, Ling Mo still completely ignored the other party's begging eyes, and said to Zero to himself:
"Of course, its deception is a well-intentioned deception, because the culprit who drove it to death is not Kato Taka, but you. ”
Zero pointed to himself with a trembling hand and asked in disbelief, "Me?!"
"That's right, it's you, to be precise, your kindness is the cause of its death, it's just that the baby snowman doesn't want you to feel too guilty and deliberately wants to hide the facts. Ling Mo's words were like sharp arrows, inserting them into Zero's heart one by one:
"Have you forgotten the cause of the snowman baby? In all the snowy places in the world, those unwelcome friends welcome or are not valued by their parents, especially the children who can only play with the snowman at the end of the year and Christmas, and their evil thoughts are mapped to the rotten land, and they are distorted into a collective! 'No friends' is its most important attribute and obsession, and now that it has such a good friend as you, the resentment in its heart has long dissipated, which means that the foundation of existence has been shaken. ”
Without waiting for Zero to speak, Ling Mo continued:
"Of course, if it were just an ordinary friend in its heart, the situation of the baby snowman would not be so serious. But when you were faced with danger just now, you subconsciously held it in your arms, as sincere as a friend and a friend, as loving as a mother, just once, and twice in a row! This act completely shattered the heart of the baby snowman and made it recognize you as its best friend. They already have close friends, and their obsessions have been completely made up, so what reason is there to exist?"
After thoroughly dissecting the matter to Zero, Ling Mo finally concluded: "So, congratulations, Your Highness the Former Holy Maiden, you have successfully surpassed a seventh-level evil spirit, it is really gratifying, gratifying, gratifying......"
"It's not gratifying at all!!" Zero felt a sharp pain in his heart, and involuntarily shouted: "I—I accidentally killed the baby snowman!!"
Ling Mo smiled, pointed to Zero, and said, "Is it really unpleasant? Why don't you ask the baby snowman who is dying?"
Zero suddenly lowered his head and looked at the baby snowman who was slumped in the mud, the other party's body had completely softened at this time, a round snowman's head was paralyzed into a cake-shaped, and his facial features were not very distinct, and he noticed that Zero was looking at him, with a relieved look on his face, and said with a slight apology:
Friends, I'm afraid that you will be on the tip of the horns, I wanted to hide it from you, I lied, I'm really sorry. Don't feel guilty for overdoing me, being able to fulfill the unattainable wish in my life is the dream of every resentful spirit in the Land of Decay, and to be able to die like this, I don't know how many ghosts envy me.
Friends, I'm super happy now, death is a relief for me. The only regret is... Well, why is this happening...... For the first time, I had someone I liked, and for the first time, I made a lifelong friend. These two pleasant things are intertwined, and these two joys bring me a lot of joy. I should have had this dreamlike happy time. But why, why did it become the way it is now, and the happy time was so short...
Little friend, I don't hate Io, I don't hate it for arranging my fate so cruelly, I don't blame this world, I don't blame it for giving me hope and taking it away, on the contrary, I thank them, because this short moment of happiness is enough to compensate for my thousand years of pain.
Friends, if there is an afterlife, if there is a next time, I hope you can give me your love in batches, don't let me eat so much at one time, so that I can enjoy it for a while longer, thank you.
Friends, like you, I really ...... I like you.
With each word, the baby snowman's body melted a little more, and in the end, it turned into an ordinary snowdrift, which quietly melted into the ground under the baking of the heat wave. Only the small half of the carrot nose remained on the ground, shining with a crystalline light.
In the blurred vision, Zero seemed to see the snowman baby's distressed nose again, and the action of handing it to him with a reluctant face, as if he heard the snowman baby's cautious flattering voice again:
Here you go, buddy, this is my best thing.
She slowly picked the carrot from the ground, slowly cradled it to her chest, and glanced around with a blank gaze, and then, she let out a howl like a lone wolf hurting:
Ah——————!!!!!h
