Chapter 237: Get the Heart and Continue Your Journey

"I suddenly ...... I want to change my mind.'" Gist looked at Mitz in front of him and whispered.

At this time, Gust's body began to exude a stronger aura of revenant, and the cyan flames that came out of his body gradually turned a little black, which was the result of Gerst further stimulating the power of the revenant soul in his body.

Noticing the change in Gust's expression for a moment, Mitz felt that something was wrong, and immediately took a few steps back and distanced himself from Gerst.

"Scholar, come to me." Gerst did not rush to pursue, but said to the old scholar with his mind.

"Boy, he's the lord of the city-state, do you really want to do this? If this man dies, the city-state will be torn apart.'" Shulao's words are not to stop Gerst, but to analyze the consequences of Mitz's death.

As for what kind of character Gust is, the old man knows very well, and of course he will not stop Gust from killing.

"What does this matter to me, I just know that his heart is what I want." Gerst's answer was also completely expected by the old book.

"And so you are." The old scholar smiled, and immediately turned into a white phantom and attached himself to Gust.

The possession of the revenant soul caused Gust's pupil color to change, and this time, because he was possessed by the old scholar, Gist's pupil color changed from the dark brown of ordinary humans to gold. On Gerst's left hand, there was also an extra knife out of thin air, which was the scalpel of the old book.

Shu Lao was the most famous doctor in the mountains during his lifetime, as long as it was not a terminal illness, or a physical discomfort that was not caused by a special spell, Shu Lao could cure it.

However, Shulao's fame attracted the jealousy of some of his peers in the mountains, who designed to frame Shulao and make him fail an operation, resulting in the accidental death of the patient. This incident caused Shu Lao's reputation to immediately fall to the bottom, and people forgot the fact that Shu Lao had saved many people from the brink of death, and began to question Shu Lao's medical skills, and constantly spat on him.

Because of an accident, all of the past exploits of the old man were denied. In the end, amid the curses of the people, the old scholar chose to commit suicide.

It was precisely because Gerst took a fancy to Shulao that he was a doctor, so he kept Shulao's soul by his side and used it for his own use. Over time, they developed a friendship, and the original relationship of use became a companion relationship.

Because the scholar is a doctor, having the scholar possess him makes it easier for Gust to dig out Mitz's heart intact.

After all, a doctor of the level of Shulao has done countless surgeries, and he knows how to save people, and of course he knows how to kill people.

Shu Lao didn't think that killing violated his identity as a doctor, because his death made him hate human beings a little, so he didn't care about killing people.

After the old scholar's possession was completed, Gerst smiled at Mitz, and then a dodge came behind Mitz, and the ghost abyss in his hand slashed down.

Mitz reacted and turned to block.

However, as soon as Mitz turned around, his body suddenly stopped moving, as if he was being manipulated by something.

At this moment, Sakimei's voice sounded above Mitz's head, "This uncle has forgotten the existence of other people, hmph, people are going to be angry!"

In the face of Gust's strong strength, Mitz even forgot that Gust still had several souls, and he forgot the existence of Sakimei, which also made Sakimei succeed.

Entwined in many invisible threads, Mitz has lost the ability to resist, and he is like a fish on a chopping board, which can only be slaughtered by Gerst at will.

Without hesitation, Gerst slashed through Mitz's chest with a single sword, causing the cyan flame to burn in Mitz's wound and opening a hole in Mitz's chest.

Because of the book's possession, Gerst was able to manipulate the cyan flames precisely so that they did not burn into Mitz's body, and he could clearly see that Mitz's heart was still beating violently.

Since Royat said that he wanted a living heart of a strong man, Gerst did not let Mitz die after the sword was cut, what he wanted to do was to dig out Mitz's heart alive to keep it alive.

"Saki-mei, control him well, don't let him move." Gerst said to Sakimei as he slowly stretched out the scalpel in his left hand towards Mitz's heart.

At this point, Gust's face has a crazy and hideous smile, which looks a little oozing, but this is his real character.

In order to prevent Mitz's screams from getting out, Gerst asked Ni Niang to sew Mitz's mouth together.

Of course, Gerst was not a pervert or a cruel person, and in order to reduce Mitz's pain, he quickly swung a scalpel and instantly slipped Mitz's heart away from the blood vessels that connected it.

Mitz died instantly, and Gerst hurriedly mobilized the power of the revenant to seal the blood vessels and prevent the blood from spurting out, and then carefully held the heart on his hand, took it out of Mitz's body, and then wrapped it with the power of the revenant and put it into the ring.

After doing all this, Gust carefully erased all traces of his own place, and then, with the help of the revenant, left in stealth.

Of course, Gust didn't know that after he left, Rodt's form appeared in the main hall.

Royat looked at the mess in the main hall and the corpses that were scattered all over the place, and smiled slightly.

"I was right, Mr. Gerst, you are the right person to be. Since you have worked so hard, then if I don't help you deal with the follow-up, it will seem that I have no morality."

With that, Rodat lifted his bangs, revealed the "divine eye", and used "real death" to erase the existence of these dead people, and then used "backtracking" to restore the temple that had been destroyed by the battle.

After becoming an evil god, Loat can use "True Death" even for lives that he didn't kill with his own hands.

Seeing that the hall had become very tidy, as if nothing had happened, Loate smiled with satisfaction and disappeared into thin air.

——————————————

On the other hand, Gerst knew that he could not stay any longer, so he quickly left the small city-state and headed south.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, only that he was in a forest when it got dark.

Gerst knew he was still in the remote western part of the Southern Continent, which was still sparsely populated compared to the prosperous central and eastern regions.

Since the humans of the southern continent have fully developed into a city-state settlement model, as long as they leave the city-state and go to the wild, they will never encounter a single man-made house, let alone see a village in the wild.

The mountain where Gust once lived is estimated to be the only special case in the Southern Continent.

Gerst only knew that the dragons lived in the south, so he left the small city-state and headed south, but he didn't know exactly how long it would take, even if he had a map.

In the forest at night, the moonlight cannot penetrate through the dense foliage, which makes the forest extremely dark.

However, Gerst has long been accustomed to such an environment, he is not afraid of the wild at night, he is now just looking for a place where he feels safe to sleep in.

After groping in the forest for a long time, Gust finally came to a fairly spacious clearing.

This clearing is relatively flat by a small river, and there is a certain distance between the river bank and the forest, making it a good location for camping.

Gerst decided to spend the night here, and asked the ghosts in the abyss to help him prepare some materials to build a simple tent.

Just as the spirits had left, Gust went to the river to wash his face, but he suddenly heard something strange.

Noticing the strange sound coming from behind him, Gerst turned to look.

(It's a ...... Mankind? )

Gist was able to perceive that the sound was made by a human walking in the forest, but what made him feel a little suspicious was that the man seemed to be deliberately hiding his breath, so Gist could not confirm that the other party was really human.

Gerst stared into the forest, wary at the same time.

Moments later, the man appeared in front of Gerst. To Gerst's surprise, the man was a very handsome young woman. But the woman's clothes were a little torn, and her expression was a little haggard, as if she had lost her way in the forest.

After seeing Gust, the woman's brows furrowed, as if she had met a savior, she hurriedly walked up to Gust and grabbed Gust's hands.

"It's great to meet humans here! I came to the forest with my family in the afternoon to collect medicine, but I got separated from my family and got lost......" The woman began to talk about why she was here, "I haven't found my way out until now, I didn't expect to meet you, this is really God's mercy on me!"

As she spoke, the woman seemed to deliberately lean closer to Gust.

Gerst could smell the faint fragrance coming from the woman's body, and he had to admit that a normal man would probably be tempted to see such a woman in front of him, but Gerst thought that he was not a normal man.

Compared to ordinary living people, only powerful creatures and revenants could arouse Gerst's interest, and he couldn't feel any strength from this woman.

But out of concern, he took a step back, distanced himself from the woman, and then spoke, "I am a traveler from the mountains, and it will be difficult for me to bring you back to where you live, but I am willing to do a little bit."

Hearing Gust's response, the woman smiled and said with some excitement, "That's great! However, it's so late now, the forest is not safe, and I wonder if I can stay with you for one night if it's convenient."

(Is that really the case...... )

Gerst was a little helpless, but seeing that the woman was a little weak, and an accident might happen if she was allowed to run around, he had to agree to her.

At this point, Gerst heard in his mind that the spirits had prepared the materials, so he turned and walked away, and said to the woman, "Then you wait for me here, and I'll go get some materials for the tent."

With that, Gust walked away.

But he didn't notice that the moment he turned away, the woman inadvertently showed a subtle smile.
