Chapter 31: God's Gift
To be honest, after living for so many years, I have always felt that I am very unlucky.
To this day, someone wants to give me some gifts.
But I didn't see anything.
This bad old man fools people, and it's very bad.
ββExcerpt from "Chen Ling's Assistant Diary"
Odin saw Chen Ling's eyes full of fire, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although I can't cancel his blessing, I can bless you again." β
"Huh?" Chen Ling rekindled a new hope in his heart.
"But look at the look of your brother who doubts me, I don't really want it, don't worry, I never force people. If you have something to do, go first, and then get in touch. With a wicked smile on his lips and a playful look, Odin stood up and was about to leave.
Chen Ling couldn't care about his injuries anymore, hugged Odin's thigh and didn't let go, crying and calling Uncle Odin.
What the? Cheek? At this time, my life is going to be gone, is it still important to be cheeky or something?
Seeing Chen Ling's pitiful look, Odin sat down again satisfied, "Seeing that you are so sincere, then I will think of a way for your uncle." β
Odin stroked his loose hair and thought for a long time. "I think I can bless you, although this life is destined to be full of ups and downs, there are always noble people to help you, and you can turn evil into good fortune."
When Chen Ling heard this, he felt that this was okay, there were thighs to hug, and the nobles would help him, and he would not be too offended.
In this way, there is still a little hope in life. In fact, he thinks that Xiushen's thighs are okay and full of firmness.
"As for the curse from the previous life, there is really no way to make up for it, even if I wish you luck in your life, I will not delay your misfortune. You can be lucky first, and then unlucky, the two occur in succession without contradiction, at most your life will have more mountains and valleys. β
Odin felt like he was scratching his head, Loki, the little brother, was making trouble for himself every time, and he had to be locked up when he came back this time.
He suddenly glanced at his basket of vegetables, and there was a way.
"I think you should rely on yourself to deal with curses or something, your own strength is hard, and no matter how many curses there are, it's a drizzle. You're right, man? β
Odin patted Chen Ling on the shoulder, "I have something good for you, which will definitely help you reach the pinnacle of life, defeat Gao Fushuai, and win Bai Fumei." β
Listening to Odin's promise, Chen Ling felt that this was also a way, eating soft rice all the time was not in line with his own personality, men, they still had to have some excellent skills.
But how do you hear this a little familiar, this propaganda word, it seems that I have heard it somewhere.
With a bang, Odin magically pulled out a broken blade from the vegetable basket, and then pulled out a pile of fragments, which were dotted with drizzle spots.
Chen Ling's eyes immediately widened, this, this... Won't it be? Looking at Odin's "kind" smile, Chen Ling was immediately sure that he couldn't be wrong, it was this ghost thing that caused him to be so miserable.
Chen Ling shook his head and stepped back as if he had seen a ghost, grabbing the quilt and covering his head, like an isolated and helpless girl, facing a big man with a beast's heart.
"Don't be afraid, brother, come on, uncle, I have something good for you."
Chen Ling couldn't care anymore that his body had just been devastated and covered with bandages, so he jumped out of bed and wanted to run.
"Come back to me!" As soon as Odin pulled, Chen Ling went back to bed directly, and Chen Ling felt that he was more helpless than a weak girl now.
"Don't run, I'll tell you slowly."
"This knife is indeed an evil thing, and the six characteristics of 'soul eater', 'defense breaking', 'god speed', 'rage', 'bloodthirsty', and 'bewitchment' are real cows. There are few artifacts I know of that are more ruthless than it. I have to say that you humans are really quite creative, except for being a little brittle, there are basically few weaknesses. In particular, the 'Soul Eater' has given Miyu the ability to improve himself. The more wicked people are killed, the more evil it will become, and the more good people it kills, the better it will be, which is completely contrary to the principle of punishing evil and promoting good. Moreover, the more strong people are killed, the stronger it becomes, and theoretically, if it is given enough time and enough lives, it can be infinitely stronger. β
"Everyone in the world says it's a demon knife, but in my opinion, it's a good knife." As he spoke, Odin looked back and forth at Miyu, although it was broken, but the remnants of Miyu still reflected sharp light.
"It's a pity it's ruined." Odin couldn't help but sigh.
"You see, it's a good thing to borrow its power to seal Loki before."
"You say, can the way of using one sin to punish another greater sin be called good?" Speaking of which, Odin no longer has the feeling of a tough uncle before, but shows his calm side.
"In fact, there is never a distinction between good and evil, it's just that there is something wrong with the person who controls it. Mi Yu just keeps giving you multiple choice questions. It will give you an easy choice to become stronger, but this choice requires you to give up some principles, so that it opens an opening, and then gradually forces you to give up all humanity, and in the end you will find that you can no longer turn back. β
"And human beings, usually, can't resist temptation." Odin stroked Miyu's blade and whispered these words that Chen Ling didn't understand very well. Chen Ling felt that these words didn't seem to be said to him, but to Miyu.
"Except for 'Soul Eater' and 'Defense Breaking' in this knife, the other four characteristics were absorbed later, and they no longer exist since it was destroyed."
"I will modify the characteristics of this knife, keep the 'Break Defense', destroy the 'Soul Eater', and then give this knife to you. I will turn this knife into an invisible knife and let it connect with your soul. But even so, you still can't control it, because you're a mortal, and you can't move it without spiritual power, so I'll give it the 'freewheeling' trait again. The remnant blade in Odin's hand began to flash with golden light, and the spots of drizzle gradually disappeared, and then the remnant blade and fragments also turned into golden powder and flew into Chen Ling's right arm, but the miraculous thing was that Chen Ling didn't feel it at all.
"Through 'freewheeling', it will feel the master's mind, absorb the greatest energy in the master's heart, whether it is the idea of protecting others, or the desire to destroy and kill, it will absorb, and then incarnate into an invincible blade to slash all enemies in front of you."
"So, it can be either a sword of justice or a knife of killing, and it ultimately depends on how you choose." Odin's one-eyed eyes stared at Chen Ling, as if he wanted to see Chen Ling's heart.
"Now, brother, tell me, what is the strong thought in your heart?"
Chen Ling had no way to answer this question, for him, who was an ordinary college student not long ago, he had no idea what kind of person he was.
If it weren't for entering the Demon Removal Office, if it weren't for meeting Xiushen, he might have spent his life ordinary. He doesn't have any great ideals, nor does he have any special ambitions, he is looking for a job after graduation, finding an ordinary girl to marry, having one or two children who are not very obedient, providing for his parents in old age, and then gradually getting old, and only when he is about to die that he finds that he has wasted his life.
Now someone suddenly asked him what his heart's greatest desire was, and the only thing he could say was two words - confused.
"Confused?" A smile appeared on the corner of Odin's mouth, "You can't pull out a knife when you're confused." Look carefully, find your purpose in life, and until that day, you may be able to make a beautiful cut. β
"As for the seed I planted in your heart, I'm really dead. There are many choices in life, whether you choose to pursue justice and peace with difficulty, or move closer to the mighty death and chaos, it is your own choice. β
"Just don't regret it."
Chen Ling suddenly felt that he was very powerless now, and everything seemed to be destined by heaven, destined to be unlucky, destined to be fooled, and destined to go to a life of ups and downs. It seems that the providence in the dark has been manipulating itself, making his life more and more unbearable, and he is like a marionette in the hands of God, without a little freedom.
It was rare to be serious, Chen Ling suddenly asked Odin a very serious question.
"Big pig, tired in Zhumen's eyes, hot only smashes wolves (uncle, in your eyes, what are people?) οΌβ
When Odin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Thousands of years and the water of the "Mysterious Spring" have given him wisdom that is different from ordinary people, and he understands the root of Chen Ling's problems.
"Answer me first, then, what is God in your eyes?"
Chen Ling stared at the ceiling above his head and thought hard for a while.
"Sen, the fighting spirit stops there, and the mold covers it. (God is free and unfettered.) οΌβ
After listening to Chen Ling's answer, Odin laughed instead, and then said to Chen Ling seriously: "Brother, you are envying our freedom. But we feel that you are the freest of all these beings. β
Chen Ling thought that Odin was joking, but looking at Odin's serious expression, he knew that the man in front of him never disdained to lie.
"Alright, that's it, I should go too, I can't stay too long. was discovered by someone else, and had to fight again. With that, Odin stood up and walked out, only to turn around and come back before he had taken two steps. I almost forgot the vegetable basket, and said that I would make dumplings for my family, and she especially likes to eat dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions. β
Chen Ling saw that Odin was really leaving, so he hurriedly straightened up and said, "Hold back the curse, the agricultural reform told me to hold a knife (don't go, you haven't taught me how to use a knife?) οΌβ
Odin glanced back at Chen Ling, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I also gave you a small gift, which can be regarded as a novice enlightenment, teaching people to make knives, it is an expert." β
Chen Ling's mind was confused, what a small gift, why didn't he see it, where did he put it? Hurry around and look around.
When Chen Ling looked up again, Odin had already pushed the door and went out.
As soon as he left, Jinbao came in with the doctor.
Jinbao saw that Chen Ling had gotten up by himself, and immediately said, "I've only been out for less than a minute, why did you get up?" The injury is so serious, quickly lie back, not honest at all. β
Chen Ling was taken aback. One minute? How could it be a minute, Odin had clearly spoken to himself for so long just now, how could it be?
Chen Ling glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was really only a minute.
Chen Ling smiled helplessly, didn't speak again, and let the doctor come over to check his body.
God, he always likes to play fancy tricks to show off his magic.
That night, Chen Ling lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time, constantly recalling the experience of the past 24 hours, holding the solipsism when he was in the rain, the murderous aura when he fought with Xiushen, Loki, who was full of nonsense, like Odin who was like a middle-aged uncle, these twenty-four hours passed as if in a dream, he couldn't even remember what Loki said, he wondered if everything would be just his hallucination.
He looked at his right arm, except for the heart-wrenching pain from a single movement, everything was as usual, nothing special at all.
So, everything may really be just your own daydream, and you really can't watch too many brain-dead TV series.
Suddenly, a playful girly voice sounded in her head.
"Master, Sister Dao is back again, do you miss someone."
