Chapter 172: Soul Weaver
There is a special kind of person in this world, to be exact, a ghost that sounds creepy to Sakuori, called the Soul Weaver. They can silently invade any soul body with memories, so as to leave a more perfect memory after a long time of memory weaving. If there is a creature with the most secrets in this world, it must be the Soul Weaver.
It's a pity that the soul weavers have to face the continuous backlash of the power of the Great Dao, and not many survive. The soul weavers who can survive are not strong, because they have to find a glimmer of life between the gaps in the Dao rules. Under this huge pressure of survival, weaving a flawless memory is not something that a soul weaver can accomplish, and sincere cooperation has become inevitable.
Jiu Weaving doesn't know much about the Soul Weaver, and all the sources of information are the living skeletons in Van City. Ever since she knew there was such a being, she had been skeptical that what she had experienced was true.
She knew that in this world, the only place where such creatures could survive was the Hades. This is also one of the reasons why the ghost clan has not been able to break away from the underworld. According to Master, that place is called Razor, and the underworld is afraid of heavenly punishment, so they regard Razor as a heaven-sent land. If there are earth immortals who practice thunder and lightning exercises, they all go to that place, so as to reduce the danger of falling.
Supposedly, Razor is the least suitable place for soul weavers to live. Master said that there is a single rule, and for the soul weaver, in a peaceful place, the rules are more complete, and the integrity of the rules means that there is a danger lurking, and there may be a risk of falling at any time.
At this time, Saori was sitting upright in a private house, and two shadows were shaking in front of him.
A middle-aged ghost wandered around, silently reciting: "The same thunder, people in the Night Cold City will take a look at the ghost witch's residence, and then continue to busy themselves, as if the thunder has nothing to do with him; people in Chengtian City will raise their heads to guess whether the rain that has not yet come will be big or small; people in the underworld will hold their heads and try to hide, they will think that the damned underworld has attracted the punishment of heaven; and in Longze, the dragon people will be as if nothing happened." They'll think it's someone who's farting or yawning out of boredom. β
"I'm not here to listen to your nagging, and I don't understand what you're talking about. You just have to do what I command, and you don't need to speak. β
Another older ghost said, "Kid, this memory weaving is a time-consuming thing, even if it is a memory fraud, we must try our best to be perfect, this is the conscience of the industry that we have always adhered to." β
Wine weaving inexplicably, this fraud came out of their mouths, just like eating and sleeping, it was really normal.
Jiu Weaving pointed to the unconscious Xuantian woman on the ground, and said impatiently: "People, I brought it to you, two hours have passed, and you still don't do it." I don't understand, what are they doing in a rambling manner?"
"Little wine weaving, this weaving memory, the emphasis is on perfection. If this is to be the case, it will have to be argued countless times. If you think about it, we don't know much about almost all the races, except for the dragon clan, and then there is this foreign Xuantian clan. This race is too mysterious and too special. In addition to soul memories, there are also bloodline memories. If you think about it, if you can't understand such a complex soul thoroughly, the memory building built will collapse sooner or later. At that time, the soul eater will become a hidden danger, if our ghost clan wants to rule the Xuantian clan for a long time, we must start from the foundation of bloodline memory to build the tower of memory, this is a complex and vast soul project. If it can be achieved, it will be a great feat that will shock the soul world, and it will definitely attract the attention of all races......"
Saori glanced out the window and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about, I didn't ask you to weave any memory towers, you just need to control her." What I want is chaos in the city, what wonderful memories and soul projects have to do with her? What you said is something that can only be decided by the old antiques of Fancheng, all I want is control, constant control! Let this woman become a killing machine, not our person!"
At this moment, the soul of a young woman floated out of the woman's body, and the woman said awe-inspiringly: "We are soul weavers, and what we do is the noblest, most beautiful, and most adventurous business in the world, and we have our own code of conduct and ethics, you must know this! We will not do such a thing as controlling people!"
"It seems that the people of Brahma City have not negotiated with you for payment. As far as I know, one thunder stone is enough for you to use for a year. β
"You are humiliating my profession, how can we do such a conscience-destroying thing for a few thunder stones?!"
"Ten thunder stones!"
"Looks like you didn't understand what I meantβ"
"Twenty thunder stones!"
"......," the phantom glare angrily.
"Twenty-five thunder stones!"
"Deal!" the old soul weaver said earnestly, "Fancheng is only a hundred thunder stones, be content! That desire god body will cost at least fifty thunder stones every year." β
Jiu Ori smiled playfully: "It seems that there is no business that cannot be negotiated." β
"Little wine weaving-" The old soul weaver wondered: "Old me, can you add a condition?"
Saori nodded.
"You know, we're doing the best-"
Jiu Weaving interrupted: "I know, you are soul weavers, you are doing the most beautiful, noble, and extremely risky business in the world, you have your own moral integrity, I already know this!
The old soul weaver completely ignored Saori's meanness and continued, "When we get all the thunder stones, we will give you five thunder stones. I need this to be unknown to outsiders, not even the hall master. β
"Isn't this obvious? How can the hall master not know? If so, how can you get your thunder stone?"
"It's very simple, you say, we have woven the most perfect memory tower in the world! As long as you can let everyone in the Ghost Domain know about this, we can also pay you another five thunder stones!"
Jiu Weaving was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, doesn't that mean that he has ten thunder stones? Ten thunder stones, then he can change to a small city near Night Cold City!
Saori froze and said, "I don't quite understand, what's the benefit of this?"
The old soul weaver said, "We can let you feel in front of the Desire God Body for three days, and then you won't mention it again." β
"But, I want to ask clearly, isn't that goddess of desire a killing machine?
The old soul weaver was silent, and shook his head sideways at the middle-aged soul weaver, signaling that he was not allowed to say more.
"Deal!" I promise not to mention it again. If you can successfully complete the mission and return to the Ghost Realm, I will let the Ghost Realm know how great your Soul Weaver is. β
The old soul weaver said: "Don't worry, even if it's not for the thunder stone, just look at the opportunity of those three days of understanding, you will do the same." β
There was a loud bang from the Xuantian Square, and Jiu Ori flashed out the door, and then jumped to the roof. Looking intently into the square, he saw a dwarf confronting a woman. Khan Luo's figure was in an attic in the other direction, and the woman of the family was in the room at his feet.
Seeing that there was no movement, Saori turned around and went inside.
At this time, the middle-aged soul weaver looked at the woman and asked, "What is her identity?"
"It's a rich lady, and I'm surprised that she likes a married man. Moreover, the man was already a father. β
The old man said, "What's so strange about this, it's very common in the human race. As long as she uses her memories with her hands and feet, and turns that man into her father's killer, she can solve it. β
"No, she has a father, how should she get along with her father before the siege?"
The old man said, "Simple, become her stepfather." Then change her background to a poor family!"
"If so, what were her poor parents like, what kind of character, and how did they affect her?"
The old man said, "When I was in the human race, I inadvertently collected two memories, which were 10,000 years ago. The daughter of that family was elected to the palace as a palace maid, and the old couple became depressed and fell ill and died immediately. As soon as my heart softened, I weaved two near-perfect memories into the souls of those two people, and it took me several years, but fortunately, the two of them lived well in the future. But they forgot about their daughter. The Terran and the Xuantian Race look similar, so you can patch up this memory......"
"But this woman's memory is too complicated and can't be erased in a short time, what should I do?"
"Then it will be covered, and it will always be possible to hold on for a few days. If you're not sure, you cast a soul eater spell to take direct control of her soul. β
"Butβ" The young woman stopped when she saw Saori sitting beside her.
Jiu Weaving hurriedly said: "Is it so difficult to control? I can find a great witch to control her to kill, you are soul weavers-"
The middle-aged man was a little annoyed and said, "It's not that simple, violence can't do things without people knowing." We are soul weavers, engineers of souls, and our reputation matters!"
"It's not easy to be famous, no matter how full of loopholes you have, I promise you, I will never smash your signboard, do it, I want speed, not a memory building that has nothing to do with me!" Seeing that the three ghosts were silent, Jiu Ori said again: "You have to remember that you are not controlling this one, but when this person kills someone, you must constantly control other people and keep killing." What I want is for the whole outer city to be in chaos in half an hour!"
The old man stopped the other two ghosts who wanted to speak, and said lightly: "We will do our best, but don't worry!"
Worried about Khanluo, Jiu Ori ignored the three ghosts, turned around and disappeared into the room.
The old ghost watched Saori's back disappear through the door, and urged, "Quick, search for her memories!"
The girl said, "Grandpa, are we really going to do such a thing?
The old man said, "If you only think of it as work, you won't have so many doubts. β
The girl said, "Doesn't that mean that we are just dressed in the gorgeous cloak of soul weavers and doing things that destroy our conscience?"
The man scolded: "Shut up, grandpa's decision is too helpless, you are still too young, you won't understand it!"
The old man smiled: "Do you know that in ancient times, many soul weaver families were swallowed by the power of rules one after another, why only our family survived?"
The girl avoided her father's gaze and looked at her grandfather with a questioning face.
"That's because we're free from the rules and we're in the same direction as the rules. Therefore, we can get more resources, and even the thunder pool, which seems to be within the rules, but in fact the rules are full of gaps, and more importantly, we now have a big goal, that is, the body of desire. If this happens, the body of desire will be our only weapon against the power of the rules. We can also find a new habitat because of her. But how difficult is this?"
The old man frowned again and said, "In the situation that the race is facing extinction, we can only survive first. Only by staying alive can we fight for more. Sometimes, I don't want the Soul Weaver to be just our coat, I also want the Soul Weaver to be known to the world. But the rules do not allow us to exist, we are creatures abandoned by the rules, and compared to this world, the power of rules is everywhere. Just like this curse of the heavens, although it can block the power of heaven and earth, it cannot block the power of rules. Because, this dome exists within the rules, and it is the rules itself. β
The man hurriedly said, "Father, what should we do? If too many people die because of us, under the rules, it is very dangerous!"
The old man said: "Then find out the emotional loopholes of these Xuantian people, love is above the rules, and killing people with love will not cause the rules to interfere." The rest is left to the so-called rules. As he spoke, the old man sighed again: "It seems that we have been forgotten by the messenger of time after all......"
