Exhaustion, endless exhaustion, this is the first feeling after Chen Ming wakes up.

After liberating the ghost pattern, he seemed to have had a long dream.

In his dreams, he walked aimlessly through the streets of the withered city, and at his feet were countless corpses and scraps, his hands and clothes were all stained with blood, and the strong smell of fish made him repeatedly gag.

"Is this purgatory?"

Chen Ming muttered to himself, the rising steam of blood stained the dark clouds with blood, and in the sky, a black monster with countless tentacles roared with its teeth and claws.

On each tentacle of the monster, there is a head hanging from it, some he knows and some he doesn't.

But no matter how its tentacles writhed, the gaze of those heads never left him.

He shook his head slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had disappeared into the street, and his vision had become wide enough to overlook the whole street.

Tatsu Ming was at a loss, and he found that he had become that terrifying monster.

But what scared him the most was that in this world shrouded in corpses and a sea of blood, endless longing and pleasure were born in his heart.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the end of the street, it was Hilty.

Chen Ming was ecstatic in his heart and wanted to shout, but there was only a sad cry in his ears.

"Phew!"

A sharp sound of breaking wind sounded, and when he looked over, one of his tentacles had already penetrated Hilty's body.

"For ...... What?"

There was a hint of puzzle on her painful and twisted face, and Hilty's body dried up, and finally only a head remained, and like other tentacles, a pair of eyes mixed with resentment looked at him in bewilderment.

He didn't want to laugh, but the pleasure in his heart made him laugh out loud, and weird laughter filled the world and echoed in his ears.

Next, every time he devoured a person, another person would appear on the street, and he found that the more he devoured, the hungrier he became.

He didn't want to, but he couldn't.

Familiar and unfamiliar faces were all looking at him in despair, Drake, Elaine, Merlene, Andre......

Eventually, he began to go numb, eating endlessly, and endless pleasure was intertwined with endless sadness.

"Is this your revenge for me?"

He looked down at his chest, the two patchwork faces, laughing at the moment.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Ming became more and more hungry, he thought, "Why don't you just eat the whole world?"

As if hearing his thoughts, all the heads of those tentacles laughed at the same time, "yes, eat them all......

Like black sunlight, countless tentacles spread all over the city, greedily sucking everything, hysterical roars, helpless cries for help, and desperate screams intertwined at this moment, and the city began to collapse.

At this moment, an inconspicuous red flame burned at the end of the street, and a girl like a porcelain doll was watching all this sadly.

"Shakira, don't ...... Don't come here!"

He was reluctant to hurt her at any time, and his underlying instinct told him that as long as he swallowed the girl, he would be able to be free.

"Obviously, the more I help you, the deeper I fall. ”

Shakiro walked down the street, letting the bright red blood stain the hem of her white skirt, and by the time she approached, her skirt had turned scarlet.

She raised her head and smiled, "Chenming, I've been asleep for so long, it's time to wake up." ”

In the end, the tentacles still stretched out against the petite body, but at that last moment, Chen Ming cried and begged, "Please, don't hurt her......"

The endless pleasure disappeared at this moment, and in its place, the maddening pain, the huge body began to tremble, and countless heads cried out in pain, whipping Chenming's heart.

The monster's face distorted, and it roared wildly as if it was catharsis, and the tentacles that waved wildly destroyed the entire city, but the only thing that didn't hurt was the small corner where Shakiro was.

"yes, don't hurt him. ”

Shakiro muttered under her breath, and at the end of the street, the flames that seemed to be extinguished at any moment turned into a sea of fire, burning the entire city along with the monsters.

Shakiro took to the sky and watched the monster decay, pulling Tatsunaru out of its body.

The moment the two hands touched, the world was burned by fire, and the sky and ground were shattered like glass.

"Hmmm......"

In the dimly lit room, Chen Ming opened his eyes, the sharp pain from all over his body made it difficult for him to breathe, and he muttered with a wry smile, "It seems that it will take a while to get used to it." ”

"Are you awake?"

In the other corner, Hilty's voice came over, and he walked briskly.

"Where's Shakira?"

Chen Ming sat up and looked around, but there was no figure of Shaqiluo.

"I'm here. ”

Outside the door, Shakiro walked in and asked, "Are you still used to it?"

"It's fine. ”

Seeing Shaqiluo, the stone in Chenming's heart finally landed, he looked at Hilty and asked, "How long have I slept?"

"Five days. ”

Hilty replied, then looked at him in amazement, "I really don't know how you managed to kill three Sixth Order people by yourself!"

"Huh?"

Chen Ming scratched his head in confusion and looked at Shaqiluo.

"Isn't it time for you to gather intelligence?"

Shakiro glanced at Hilty and said, "Chenming has just woken up and still needs to rest. ”

"Okay. ”

Hilty was always respectful of Shakiro, and he also heard the meaning of the former's words, and answered the question, and left the room depressed.

After Hilty left, Chen Ming asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"He knows too much and it's going to be a problem. ”

"I tampered with his memories and cut out some unnecessary things. ”

“......”

Chen Ming was speechless for a while before he said, "What about you? Are you okay?"

Although he was not sure of the reality of the dream, Tatsunami was sure that he would be able to recover so safely, and Shakira's help was indispensable.

"I'm fine. ”

Shakiro shook her head and said, "But I want to warn you that unleashing some forbidden magic without being fully mastered can usually end in tragedy. ”

When Chen Ming heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said, "I know, not in the future." ”

It's true that it won't, and it can't, after obtaining the ghost pattern, Chen Ming also learned about the other functions of the eternal ghost pattern through some documents.

In addition to replacing the body to contain magical power, the Eternal Ghost Pattern has one more function than the ordinary Ghost Pattern.

The reason why the Eternal Ghost Pattern can exist forever is that the recipient leaves the soul used as a material in the body at the time of inscription, and the endless torture allows the Ghost Pattern to acquire endless magical properties.

In Chenming's spiritual world, the souls of his parents have always been nurtured by him, and the magic characteristics that were born will have an extra part in addition to maintaining the consumption of ghost patterns, but this part of the magic characteristics cannot be used through ordinary magic.

The only way to use this part of the magic is to completely unravel the ghost pattern.

While the recipient tortures the soul, his own body will also suffer the same pain, and the complete unraveling of the ghost pattern means that those magical properties will be completely added to his body in an instant.

The resentment in Tatsunaru's heart prompts him to throw his parents' souls into a cycle of despair countless times a day, even if it does so he will be constantly tormented.

And in this way, the magic characteristics stored in his ghost pattern will also reach an extremely high level.

Unraveling the ghost pattern at this magnitude, the pain he himself will endure will be more than a hundred times that of the original.

And the reason why he said no, in addition to the fact that this time the liberation energy wiped out his stored magic characteristics, there was also the biggest reason, that is, the price required to liberate the ghost pattern.

The torture of the soul is two-way, when he suffers a hundredfold pain, the souls of his parents will also be hurt a hundredfold, and the pain suffered by each liberation of the ghost pattern is permanent, that is to say, the liberation of the ghost pattern means adding a new commanding height to the magnitude of the soul's pain.

And when the next liberation comes, this commanding height will also become a new base point, and at that time, this superimposed pain will make Chen Ming fall into complete madness.

"But this time the effort is not without rewards. ”

Lying on the bed, Chen Ming took out a dagger and thrust it into his palm.
