Chapter Twenty-One: I Don't Have Feelings
Dieyi left, walking very peacefully, and her body was still twitching.
But she didn't die at the hands of Lin Ling or Ah Qi, strictly speaking, this was a suicide.
Because she couldn't bear the pain of part of her soul being frozen and beaten, after Dieyi begged Ah Qi to kill her to no avail, she chose to say the name of Onimai Tsuji Mumi, and let the curse of Onimai Tsuji Mumiao stay in her body ended her.
What made Lin Ling stunned was that it was obviously very painful to be beaten and cursed by Onimai Tsuji, but the last thing Dieyi showed was a relieved smile.
Lin Ling: ......
Why? Could it be that the soul is frozen in ice and really hurts like that?
What did Lin Ling think, and he also asked, "Snow Girl, is it painful for your soul to be frozen in ice?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't tried it. But ......" Snow Maiden hesitated for a moment, then said, "But one of my elders once told me that if you don't face the heinous path, don't freeze the soul of the other party...... That is the greatest torture. ”
"Is that so......" Lin Ling raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, he has watched a lot of various novels and anime before, and in most novels and anime, there is a concept that torturing the soul is more painful than torturing the body, so it seems normal to think about the pain of the frozen soul that is unbearable.
But...... Can the Temporal Factor really strengthen his power?
Lin Ling pondered, looked at Ah Qi, who was holding the corpse of the butterfly clothes in a daze, and said, "You used to be a ghost swordsman, right?" The hand holding the knife did not let go in the slightest.
He knows that crazy people are the most terrifying, and it's really hard to say whether Ah Qi will break out now.
As for sneak attacks? Don't make trouble, if the other party won't fight back, it will be easy to expose flaws when you take the lead in this case.
"Heh......" Ah Qi smiled lowly, he didn't answer Lin Ling's question, just stood up with his knife in his hand.
In the next second, Ah Qi had already come to Lin Ling's side, and slashed down with a knife, so fast that people couldn't react.
The breath of the wind is all about speed.
Lin Ling did not dodge or dodge, the ice armor formed at the moment when the blade was close to his body, and the Rilun Knife collided with the ice wall, cutting out the Dao crack, but it was not cut after all.
And Lin Ling also made a knife at this time.
The breath of water, the type of dyeing, the ripple of Shizuku.
The Rilun knife stabbed into Ah Qi's chest, without a little accident, smoothly as if Ah Qi was deliberately begging for death.
"Cough ......" blood gushed up, flowing down the corners of his mouth, but Ah Qi, who had always been cold-faced to Lin Ling, smiled, with relief and a little regret and other emotions that people couldn't understand.
"It's a pity...... I didn't die with you......"
Ah Qi said and fell to the ground.
Lin Ling knew that he was going to die, because the moment the Rilun knife stabbed Ru Ah Qi's body, Lin Ling had already frozen the other party's internal organs with cold air.
This may not be a big deal for a ghost, but for an ordinary human, death is inevitable.
Even if Ah Qi knew how to breathe the wind, it would be useless.
For the enemy, Lin Ling never showed mercy to his subordinates.
Lin Ling didn't pity the other party, but just asked expressionlessly, "Why do you want to betray humans?" He glanced at the butterfly clothes that were about to dissipate, and said, "For her? ”
Lin Ling admitted that he was still a little concerned about this matter.
"Ghost ...... Is it really impossible to live in peace with humans? Ah Qi didn't answer Lin Ling's question, or didn't need to answer at all, the answer was actually clear to both parties.
"Butterfly clothes...... I didn't want to eat people......"
"But she still ate it, and the ghost ate the person, and she couldn't be saved." Lin Ling interrupted Ah Qi's words and said categorically.
Lin Ling didn't think that ghosts must not be able to live in peace with humans, and You Douzi was the best example.
But he also knew that once a ghost eats a person, there is no salvation.
Even if it's your beans, if you eat someone one day, Tanjiro will behead her and die with her.
"yes...... Eat ......" Ah Qi's pupils dimmed, and he suddenly seemed to be back to that night three years ago.
That night, Dieyi was injured by other ghosts, and she was carried away by hunger, and she ate people for the first time.
Then, it's out of control.
However, is it Dieyi's fault?
Ah Qi suddenly showed a bitter smile, but the brilliance in his eyes completely dissipated.
It's his fault......
Dieyi was injured to protect him...... It was he who didn't control Dieyi......
He was the one who hurt her!
If...... When he met her, he wasn't a ghost swordsman, and she wasn't a ghost, how nice would that be......
……
"Lord Lin Ling, he's dead......"
"yes, I know." Lin Ling nodded, then looked at the little boy next to him who was curled up in the corner, completely frightened, and said, "You shouldn't have seen today's events!" Remembering these is not a good thing for you. ”
After speaking, Lin Ling turned around and left.
He was no longer interested in exploring the town.
I am not interested in exploring the story of Ah Qi and Dieyi.
It's nothing more than a tragic love story between a ghost swordsman and a ghost.
Now he just wanted to find a place to study how to use the space-time factor in his body to strengthen the power of ice and snow.
That's right, it's that callous.

……
"The role of spatiotemporal factors...... It feels like it's more than I thought! ”
Looking at the rat in front of him that was frozen by him with the cold air that he had added, and was destroyed along with his soul in the perception of the Snow Maiden, Lin Ling didn't pinch his chin and thought about it.
After some experiments, he could already determine that if he called the space-time factor in his body and integrated it into the power of ice and snow, he could indeed strengthen the power of ice and snow, and the more he invoked, the stronger the effect.
If the space-time factor of one day can only make part of the soul of a creature be frozen and saved, then after increasing this weight several times, it can even directly destroy the soul.
It's kind of scary!
Even in the face of the strong, this weight may increase many times, but there is no doubt that this ability can become Lin Ling's hole card.
At least it's the hole card of "ending up together" - the power of ice and snow can't hurt him, if he really wants to encounter any strong enemy, Lin Ling can use all the time and space factors to gamble big, kill the enemy and retreat back to the blue star!
However, to Lin Ling's surprise, according to the Snow Maiden, even in her heyday, the power of ice and snow she mastered could at most freeze other people's souls, and could not be extinguished.
This means that the Annihilation Soul may be an attribute that only has after the power of ice and snow is integrated into the spatio-temporal factor.
Blue Starfish ...... Spatiotemporal factor...... And himself......
What kind of secrets are hidden?
Lin Ling let out a sigh, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and suddenly said with a smile: "Snow Girl, you said that if I press all the time and space factors, can I kill the ghost dance Tsuji without misery?" ”
"Well, I guess it works! The power level of this world is not high, and Onimai Tsuji is not miserable...... Lord Lin Ling, if you fuse all the space-time factors into the power of ice and snow, maybe you can really do it! ”
