Chapter 295: The Mask
- Lich!
Immortal, a powerful undead creature with incredible talents.
Even if an existence that has just degenerated into a lich does not have the slightest strength, it can recover its original strength in a very short period of time with its amazing talent, or even go to the next level.
There are pros and cons.
Although the lich has a near-infinite life, as well as amazing talent and strength, they are no longer qualified to be born human in exchange for all this.
Other words!
Lin Bai is no longer a human being, he no longer has the characteristics that a human being should have.
He will no longer be able to integrate into human society by simply being a dried corpse, and having an endless life means that the lich will be far away from humans and fall into eternal solitude.
It's not so much a gift as a curse.
Human beings are social animals after all, if you live in a group, a day or two may be no problem, but a year, two years, or even ten years and a hundred years, eternal loneliness will completely bury you.
Lin Bai had already understood the current situation.
The identity of the lich has made him completely on the opposite side of humanity, he has no possibility to realize his dream, and the agreement about Ellie can no longer be fulfilled, and it is time to bury this mood.
Other than that, there is no other way!
Probably seeing his face, Ellie's face will be bloodless with fright, and even whether she can recognize him is a question, there is no difference between him and the dead now, and the only thing that can accompany him is this mighty undead!
Look ahead!
The spirits of the dead, as dense as ants, are raising their arms and shouting, offering the most loyal rites for the birth of the king.
A true king of the dead!
Lin Bai re-ascended the throne that symbolized glory, and now these undead who were extremely ugly in the eyes of humans were his kind, and he was sincerely grateful to these lovely undead.
Because—
The fundamental reason why he was able to be reborn as a lich was because these undead collectively emerged in an unwilling mental state in the last strength, which made him temporarily close to the level of a law god, so the system judged him to have truth-level spiritual power, and then let him be reborn as a lich.
They saved him!
If he could still make a voice now, he would have said a solemn thank you to all the undead, but unfortunately, he couldn't say a word anymore.
He was no different from the lichs he had summoned.
There is no need to eat, occasionally likes blood, can't speak, can only roar like a beast, there is no blood, and he will always look like a dry corpse, this is the current Lin Bai.
Luckily, however, communication with the undead can be carried out only with the use of mental power.
His thanks have been conveyed, so tonight's Evil Dragon Ridge has officially become a paradise for the undead, every undead is roaring excitedly for the birth of the king, and the Evil Dragon Ridge has officially become the legendary forbidden place for the undead!
Da Da Da –
The prelude to the undead continued, Lin Bai was wearing a decaying cloak and holding the Dark Moon Staff, standing quietly on the top of the mountain, he didn't let the undead follow him, maybe it was a whim, he just wanted to see the sunrise.
Time passed quietly -
An hour later, the dawn finally broke through the night, and the first rays of the morning sun shone on Lin Bai's body through the horizon, making his skin tingle slightly.
"Have you started to hate the sun?"
Although ordinary undead creatures are not afraid of sunlight, they definitely don't like sunlight, and Lin Bai, who has just become a lich, has already developed an aversion to sunlight at this time, but he has not left.
Because he wants to preserve this human habit, even if the process is only painful.
- "When did the undead creatures start to like sunlight?"
The crisp female voice echoed in Lin Bai's ears, and Kaguya suddenly appeared behind Lin Bai unconsciously and said, "It's just that I haven't seen you for a day, and I didn't expect to degenerate into a lich?" Of course, I don't can't understand that human beings pursue eternal life, but since they have fallen into undead creatures, please respect the nature of undead creatures a little, okay?"
Ignoring the excitement and trembling soul fire in Lin Bai's pupils, Kaguya circled around Lin Bai and continued: "I can give you eight points for this standard lich dress, but as a lich with zero strength, the sunlight will still hurt you a little, so don't expose yourself to the sun too much now." ”
"Kaguya...... Aren't you scared to see me like this?"
Lin Bai wanted to ask this sentence, but the hissing roar he let out sounded like the howl of a demon, even if it was already dawn at this time, it sounded especially infiltrating.
"Scared?"
Although Lin Bai didn't make a sound, Kaguya was able to know Lin Bai's thoughts without knowing what to do: "Why should I be afraid, although you are not handsome in the Lich World, you are not ugly, right...... Well, ordinary ......"
Hiss –
Several roars were made in a row, but Lin Bai still couldn't say anything.
Kaguya slapped his forehead and said helplessly: "Of course I won't dislike you, you are my friend, even if you become my most hated slug, I won't dislike you, and don't you use your spiritual power to transmit the sound? I don't mind if you yell at me so indiscriminately, but if it is seen by humans, they can't say that they want to have a demon slaying guard." ”
Mental power?
Of course, Lin Bai didn't understand how to make a mental power call, so a few hoarse voices came out.
Kaguya let out a long sigh and said, "You are the most idiot lich I have ever seen, which lich didn't have the strength of a god before he fell, but you're good, you don't even know this most basic skill, stand up for me!"
Saying this, Kazuya took the staff and knocked it on Lin Bai's forehead.
Like an initiation, Lin Bai instantly understood the trick of spiritual power calling, and Lin Bai, who had mastered this know-how, immediately thought, does this mean that he can still integrate into human society?
"I advise you not to hold on to that hope. ”
Kaguya hit mercilessly: "The only people who can accept your mental power call are probably professionals, and ordinary civilians who are estimated to be in a coma for a year and a half if you don't become an idiot if you say a few words." ”
"Even if I only talk to professionals, at least I still have a chance to integrate into human society, right?"
Lin Bai was a little excited, after all, there are mutes in this world, if everything has to be in words, then how can the mutes live?
"Do you just want to go back to human society?"
Kaguya sighed and said: "The deeper you integrate, the more painful you are, you should know that you and humans are no longer all the way, everything about them is no longer related to you, you can get nothing by doing this except constantly hurting yourself!"
Silence –
Of course, Lin Bai knew that Kaguya was right, but he couldn't suppress the desire in his heart.
He wanted to see Ellie again, even if it was from afar, and although his desire to marry her had been shattered, at least let him see Ellie again, just once!
"There's no way you're going to get out of here!"
Kaguya frowned slightly and stopped: "Unless you cancel this forbidden spell now, and let those undead who crave air and blood return to hell, then wherever you go, those poor undead will follow, leaving you waiting for them only to dissipate." ”
"What?"
The soul fire in Lin Bai's eyes trembled: "That is to say, my whole life will be tied to them, where I am, where are they?"
"That's right!"
Kaguya replied affirmatively, "They have been summoned by your forbidden spell to recognize you as king, and only obey your commands, and they must follow wherever you go, unless you disarm your magic and let them return to hell." ”
"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"
Lin Bai said categorically: "It was they who saved me, and what they longed for was this sky with color, now disarm the magic and send them back, wouldn't this be revenge, I, Lin Bai, can't do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing." ”
"Then there's no way. ”
Kaguya shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can't take these millions of undead to integrate into human society, can you? Human beings are extremely xenophobic in any world, what do you think are the chances of your success?"
Lin Bai was silent.
Although it was already a fact, it was still difficult for him to accept this fact, did he really have to live alone in the next few days? This feeling was even more terrible than death.
"That's all for today, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”
Looking at the time, Kaguya waved his hand after speaking, took out a mask from the space of the black hole and threw it to Lin Bai and said: "This mask is given to you, if you really plan to return to human society, at least improve your strength first, with your current zero strength, even if you return to human society, if you are discovered by professionals, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape death." ”
The voice fell, and the figure disappeared.
Lin Bai looked at the mask in his hand that exuded the majesty of the king in a daze, and the whole person was stunned, and then he said to himself leisurely: "Kaguya, thank you." ”
Although he denied it, Kaguya was supporting Lin Bai with his actions.
Although Lin Bai's Dark Moon suit can cover the entire corpse-like body, but it only lacks a mask to cover his face, although Kaguya makes Lin Bai not hope to return to human society, he supports Lin Bai's inner desire with his actions.
When words do not indicate the mind, then actions can.
Lin Bai's heart was full of gratitude for Kaguya, whether it was sadness or joy, even if he wasn't even a human, but Kaguya showed up on time for half an hour every day, gave him quiet companionship, and even helped him when he was in danger.
This support must not be disappointed!
Lin Bai took a deep breath, took one last look at Chaoyang, and then took on his mask and walked behind him: "One day, I will return to human society and see Ellie last time." Until then, I'm going to gain power, power enough to destroy everything!"
